You think the younger generations* coming up and are now beginning to run things are interested in kindness and and friendliness towards their fellow human beings? I walk out my front door and I see nothing but coldness along with escalating prices; and what used to be an appreciation for the consumer’s business now being whittled away one thing at a time to increase profits. That’s what I see going on in the new America. That said, you have the nerve to talk about Americans and how much we care about our fellow nations?

Just remember Rick you have it better than most; And that includes the 50% in this country who PRETEND they have it better than most.

When GOD talks to us about sacrifice HE’S talking about about at minimum, financial. There’s the emotional, and the spiritual, and the psychological. When people hurt us keep our mouth shut and don’t revolt. That’s another form of sacrifice. Once again my aunt demonstrated to me today that she does not want to part with her resources. Well maybe GOD wants to give me the reward in Heaven rather than a mere reward on Earth from an earthly being.

*There are some marvelous young people out there -just not enough of them any more. And for those of you who disagree. Have you ever heard your parents and your grandparents say “What’s wrong with this younger generation these days?” 🤷‍♂️ We should have paid closer attention to them back then.

Never make a person feel small.

If when Jesus at times went away to be alone with a Lord, spent that time thinking about all the frustrating things things he had previously accepreviously experienced in the world… you eventually he would close God out Bo’s got out and be filled with the world..

With regard to the things that are most important to you, the more dependent you can place on yourself and God calm the more free of the world you will be. Hint: the world wants to feel bigger than you never smaller. So when you go out into the world what is likely going to be the approach you are going to experience from many people in the world?

Sadly, “the world” is a game of give n’ take, a, world of haves and have nots, and how do we go from A to Z as quickly as we can with the least amount of effort and overhead costs. And of course we have to throw in the game of egos along with a game of possessions and materialism. Reducing yours well increasing mine. As in the world of resources, somebody has to lose in order for somebody to win. Well, same attitude with regard to egos, oftentimes in order for me to feel bigger I have to make you feel smaller. 🤷‍♂️

In a world that has become so cold for so long, I’m, I cannot believe we’re buying into all these people in all these countries fighting against Russia for humanitarian reasons. Really? Humanity is largely comprised of selfish, carrying-compromised people [senses dulled, desensitized]. On the other hand it’s also filled with people who love to root for the good guy, root against the bad guy [we’re programmed that way via Western television -the Russia Ukraine war is like a pick a another movie to many of us; It’s too far away to seem real; I’ll attest to that personally because I am a product of the very thing I’m describing above so don’t try to tell me otherwise because I am in the thick of it, I am the product of it], use any excuse to take out the ranger. We have a saying in Alcoholics Anonymous, “you’re not unique but you are special”. What I take away from that is that the things that I experience and the things that I feel aren’t that different from the next person. 🤷‍♂️ HARSH WORDS? WELL IT’S A HARSH WORLD! I don’t see people passing out lollipops on street corners where I live. It’s a matter of fact the majority of people who drive past the homeless guy on the corner with a sign don’t bother to stop and offer assistance. I’ve been observing this for years -the frustration of these people sitting there hour after hour; The look on their faces of even deeper despair. Mankind always has to be inspired to act. In other words there’s always gotta be something in it for him 98% of the time. Even with many parents, love is not the only moving factor, in fact for many it’s not even the main factor. I’m telling you, human beings are unlike any other creature in the history of the world. HARSH WORDS? WELL UT’S A HARSH WORLD! I just can’t get it out of my mind what Jesus told Judas when Judas but it’s when Judas pitched a fit over the oil being used he used in his hair that was so expensive, “Do you really care so much for the poor Judas”. Now then, tell me, do you really believe most of us are more akin to the apostles then to Judas? Honestly how many of us are out there vigorously helping our fellow human beings in need – How much of your excess in resources have you given in the past year to help people who are truly lacking in resources? Not me? Not me! It’s like the [white] guy complaining about the racist on TV who when asked how many Black or Chinese or Middle-eastern friends he has, suddenly loses his 🔥 📛, his steam, the wind out of his ⛵. And I could go on and on and on and I could put my good put myself at the forefront of many of these examples -but what would be the point. If you don’t know who you are what (more) can I do/say that JESUS hasn’t already said?

Increasingly in the West, I believe we are making decisions in decisions based upon what’s in it for us rather than who we are. Given the fact that there’s so much of what’s in it for us surrounding us, who we are is becoming more and more associated with what’s in it for us.

It’s a good idea to have God in your head it’s not a good idea to have the world in your head-that should tell you something.

The smaller you are the harder a target you are to see or to hit! 🤷‍♂️

When people start viewing such things as wars as entertainment! I must confess, I believe I am desensitized to the point where I am perhaps guilty of this shameful…

The United States wants to turn the United States into one big mixture with no races, no more pure bloods, but still the socioeconomic classes. In order for the Anti-Christ or man to rule the world there cannot be division.

Who controls prices the elite or the customer? Or need? Are we a slave to our need? When we become slaves to our need (wants) we become slaves to the elite. For example stocking up on gas before this Ukraine Russian war would have been a great idea to slow down. That way nobody has an excuse for raising the prices. There could be a war on Pluto and man would make up an excuse for raising gas prices. Greed, or rather a lack of empathy and consideration for the masses is enveloping this planet. Putin looks at the corruption in the West and is wondering what right we have to cast judgment on him.

It’s funny how these biblical prophecies so many intellects CS nonsensical are coming to fruition. That includes the ones not so easy to piece together. For example the “one world” phenomenal we’re observing.

Man made Maple syrup the taste more like Naples or of the Naples syrup. By this we tell God what he made for us isn’t enough. By this we replace our appreciation issue for God with appreciation for man. Thus canceling GOD out. Thus placing things ahead of GOD -which is why HE put limitations on the things HE created, there effect on our senses.

We take risks in nature – Nature that includes man and nature that doesn’t include man. When we take knowing risks with nature which doesn’t include man and those risks come to fruition in the form of consequences we understand and accept that. When we take knowing risks with nature which include man and those risks come to fruition in the form of consequences, we are not always so understanding and accepting of that. Of course I’m talking about instances where we know the risks. But none the less there appears to be a biast even if we don’t know the risks. But when we know the risks, sky diving, mountain climbing, walking through the wilderness… The risks inherently don’t change. When a woman is going to a bar dressed provocatively, breast provocatively, or walking through a dark alley at night on the wrong side of town….. The risks inherently don’t change either. And yet, we have a different attitude towards one versus the other when those risks come to fruition. Some will point to the difference between the dangers of nature without man versus the dangers of nature with man. With regards to the latter, people will argue that people acting out on their impulses and violating people’s rights is no fair comparison because man has a mind to think and and morals and restraint if he so chooses. Well regardless of the mechanisms, history indicates that regardless of man’s inclinations, impulses… or his ability to restrain himself or not, the risk is always there whether it’s right or wrong, or whether we like it or not, or rights or no rights as a human being. And GOD would agree that it’s never a good idea to tempt your fellow human being. Even if that means restricting our own rights. But in this country come a pompous arrogant human beings that we are, Why should we have to restrict our own freedoms for the sake of another human being -when we are well within our rights [to behave as such -whoever came up with this mentality has a lot to learn about life -reality. Unfortunately, some people (only) learn the hard way]? I guess what I’m trying to say is nature is nature and all the kicking and screaming and protesting in the world will not save you from poor decision making. When a person makes a poor decision rarely in life does it turn out for the better. 🤷‍♂️

Unleaded used to be 10 cents more than regular. Then 20 come and then 30 now it’s 75 cents over at Sam’s. I’m telling you when is a stamp going to be $5?

With regard to gold, it appears that people are now selling it not by the volume at a lower price but at a lesser volume at a high price. Who can pay $1950 an ounce for gold. Only the elite. Apparently the market is no longer looking to serve average individuals. Which is better to sell a 100 gold chains at $500 a piece or to sell 25 of them at $2000 a piece and still have 75 of them left to sell? And still end up with the same profit? There was a time in these United States when consideration for the average American was invogue. But greed has no place for consideration.

This country is moving in the direction of more. Continue giving the people more so we can get more. Everything is about more. Life has God intended it reduced to this. 1st there was the fall of Adam-and-Eve and then man takes it from there and reduces it even further.

Most of the time man either does too much or too little. Other goes where he shouldn’t or doesn’t go at all where he should. THAT’S MAN!

TRUTH

Everyone’s experiences is based on a truth. I believe mine regarding my experiences with my fellow human beings has been largely negative to -nothing worth talking about. And that is the reality of it. This in turn creates a mentality based upon thit’s upon this experience. And in this case not a very shimmering one.

Few people in life get to ever really realize their dreams in their entirety -as much as they would truly like to. Having said that calm even fewer ever truly realize their purpose; The destiny for which we were placed upon this Earth. As God’s children, our 1st priorities to realize our destiny. And for most of us that is not a life of complete happiness or comfort or wealth or status or success based upon the definitions assigned by humanity in general. A fate largely in contrast to these assigned definitions. Mankind tends to spend his life going against this this fate or purpose. Is it any wonder the majority of us never fulfill it? I believe I am on the path to mine. Grudgingly I might add.

So if you are going to make something high and sodium like V8 apart of your health regime, Cut back on salt in other areas of your diet. Don’t put salt on your vegetables or your meat or your potato. This should help to balance things out. Additionally, trying to get the low sodium if you can and note the percentage because cutting out all salt may not be a good idea either.

If you want your relationships with other people to succeed your intention must be that. I don’t know if this is true or not, but I suspect that most relationships that succeed do so because one or both individuals make things easier not harder for each other. Human beings tend to be multi dimensional and oftentimes are motivations, our priorities, our agendas, are in conflict with the aforementioned. Some people, while they’re approach to their relationships is not singular [variable factors 🤷‍♂️], manage to make success their highest priority. Many of us are not willing or able as such. Additionally, even if you only have a momentary lapse [of reason], [with some people] it can have a lingering impact. And to make matters worse, many of us have multiple momentary lapses [in reason]. 😏

Parents used to be something children looked up to. Adults used to be something children looked up to.

We come up with this junk in the movies in Hollywood; this in turn sparks the imagination of people watching these movies; and a whole new plethora of creativity is sparked. Some of it imaginary [outside the laws of our universe] and and some of it applying to or within the laws of our universe. And so it goes ON AND ON AND ON…

You think the world mankind is building around we human beings more and more is reality? It’s a reality, but it’s not the reality. It’s something man is building to create more and more of his own brand of stability and advantage and gain. The people who have the greatest impact have always been about these things unfortunately. Maybe not all that different from the people who don’t have much of an impact. Except that they seem to be affecting things -so that they instead of us are personally gaining in stability, advantage, and gain – As for the rest of us, we get to observe, experience “the shift”, towards them and away from us.

Someone tries to paint mankind as a benign creature – My personal experience with the world is that there’s some giving here and there and a lot more taking. And sandwiched in the middle -mostly indifference; OH, and ignorance!.

Whenever man does something he always brings with him a pattern, a pattern of intention, a pattern of motive. Sometimes there’s a variation, even a departure.

We’re way beyond subliminal messaging at this stage.

According to history, we have things that man uses, Then we find out 10 20 50 years later that they’re harmful to man. Well the things in life man is subject to are increasingly man’s own creation or tampering. So we can expect to see even more things. Holding these phones continuously can’t be good for our bodies. My left hand is already starting to tingle and feel a little odd after a couple of years of holding it for hours in a day. Of course we people trust more and more in others and do less and less thinking for ourselves. 🤷‍♂️

That’s the best way human beings can do is a little bit of goodness and kindness here and there mixed in with our true limitations and the other side of our nature.

You see an actor in the movie. 5 years later you see them again and you see a noticeable difference in their age. I don’t notice that with myself. But is the result the same? If I didn’t look at myself for 5 years and suddenly saw myself what I noticed a marked change?
