Invent something and then figure out what it can be used for later. Like for instance a bag filled with water, you try to lift it up and the sides push away -they resist. Create a container that when you try to lift it it doesn’t resist like that outwardly. Only downwardly perhaps. If you can solve the issue of the latter too lol

Compressible storage containers (accordion) are probably nothing new at this point but the idea came to me some 20 years ago.

Those of you who are parents, those of you who are fighting to become, or remain the best possible parent you can -in spite of the tremendous obstacles encountered by a parent in modern day America… the next time you should pause to reflect on the great challenge in front of you, and the mighty effort you have put forth thus far -think of God; the God many have chosen to to turn their backs on; the God who has precisely the same feelings for you you have for your own children (because we are created in His image and likeness) X’s infinity*!!!!

* There may be one difference however that leads to a greater understanding of God than perhaps any other -He doesn’t come running to bail us out every time we have a problem.

•He can withstand listening to us moan and cry and even curse Him -in an effort to prompt us to grow more and more in His likeness

•The last thing God wants to do is punish us -which is why He gave us such things as: common sense; brains to think; consequences for our actions Built-in to the fabric of the universe; the ability to feel pain that we might recoil from unpleasant or harmful things (but to also feel many, many wonderous things).

Some people think feelings are a curse. Well I suppose depends on 2 things:

•How we look at things

•How we choose to live

The notion that God has so much and we have so little… the idea that God has so much to offer and we have so little… quite often clouds the thought/interplay/dynamic of “giving and receiving” between “The Almighty” and we who are “mere mortals”. While, as my grandmother so eloquently put it -many times, “We can never outgive God”, this great truth should never preclude, or detour us from another great truth “God has feelings too!” Any of you parents out there who have a child whom you only hear from when they need something….. You know exactly what I’m talking about! Any of you parents out there who have a child whom you only hear from when they need something….. 😔 know exactly what I’m talking about!

Next ⏲ 🤔 let’s try doing it simply to put a smile on God’s face -He, like all of us, can sometimes use a little cheering up!

Who we are is a reflection of that which made us -and if you think about that more deeply than you probably have in the past; you will then come to realize that God has feelings too! AMEN 🙏

Some not-so-great people make great 1st impressions.

Some great people make not-so-great 1st impressions.

So just what does it mean in these two very polarizing axioms?

A lot of not so great people get given a first, 2nd, 3rd chance. Well a lot of great people often don’t.That is why so many men, and women, try so hard to capture the hearts of the object of their desire -because with out this, a person sadly lacking in… stands no chance whatsoever -is destined for a life of loneliness, isolation… This also goes for people who are actually quite decent but lack the necessary requisites -none the less. I hate to say this but it’s true -once you capture a person’s heart and reveal who who you truly are, for better or for worse, many people will have a very difficult time unitaching themselves -especially when the individual across from them is continually badgering them anduring them and manipulating them -even threatening them in some cases. 😔

I really hate to see bad people exploiting good people. I really hate to see good-❤ed people being abused. There are some people who have a knack for bringing out the worst in others (base-model) -while there are others who appear to need little or no provocation whatsoever (fully-loaded).

Some people appear to be perfectly at-ease -in a world where they probably shouldn’t 🤷‍♀️🤔🤷‍♂️

These are ancient truths -long since forgotten by man. You say a lot of them do not apply to other eras operating under a different system -and lacking in both modern man’s mindset and conveniences. My reply, “”Time and Space” have been, and always will be encapsulated in Truth -and never the other way around! “Time and Space” will forever remain subordinate to Truth!” And therefore, the truth embedded in these mere words reaches across every sector of both “Time and Space”.

When you choose against someone – It’s always a good idea to know precisely what they stand for and not some whimsical “I just don’t like them” nonsense! In such an instance,, you may very well be going against a person who stands for the very same things you do.

I generally buy the generic Orange juice at Walmart which is pretty good. Yesterday, wallet my local 9 Walmart grocery store.. 🤔 “Let’s give this a ine-time try”. It was bitter. This morning I thought, “We’ll just take it back and tell him there’s something wrong with it” -but there isn’t anything wrong with it; It just happens to be at the lower end of the quality scale. This is what children at the lower end if the poverty line drink every day! Sure, I could probably afford better – But am I any better than these children who drink it every day? 😔🤔😏 And for an extra 15 cents you can go to Walmart and get a better quality Orange juice. Are these companies helping, or exploiting disadvantaged Americans?
