What do foreigners know about the A.M.S.? APPARENTLY “ONE HELUVA LOT” BECAUSE THEY WERE RUNNING MANY OF THE MUSIC COMPANIES AT THE TIME!

Was told it’s not the water but the cooking oil that is at issue in Mexico making tourists sick!

If you had to be stuck with 2 staples on a deserted island; I was told “beans and rice” would be it.

Nowadays, athletes are not happy with 30 40 50 million a year. It used to be that they would pay money out of pocket to be able to play in the professionals. My how times and attitudes have changed -along with ego’s!

Names???

Human beings have other identifiable [distinguishable] signatures besides fingerprints and DNA.

Can man make the sun come up? Can man create life? Can he heal a wound? In the program we do everything to promote healing but we ourselves cannot heal. In the program we do everything to promote growth with a seed -but we ourselves DO NOT… are not actually responsible for “THE PROCESS” which takes place. Perhaps someday… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

“You throw yourself out there, there’s always a certain amount of risk involved with the spoils.”

The part of us that is not good is the part that needs the healing most. The part I call “my little Ricky” is that part of me -THE DEFENDER! -THE RETRIBUTOR <-[had to verify 👍]!

I remember watching the movie tombstone and seeing the part where the question was asked, what does ringo want why is hes so angry? I’m before the words themselves came out, they rolled off of my lips “For being born!” It’s as if in that moment 🤔 we were one in the same!

I’m beginning to realize that there are human beings involved on both sides. For example, when I have a loved one in the hospital…… I try to consider both the person I love and care for deeply as well as the person or people in charge of caring for them however flawed or limited or compromised they may be in doing their job for any number of reasons. People are people are people or people and should all be treated with do do respect and consideration 🤔 -if not love!

Let us try to concentrate on what GOD is doing and not what the world is not doing for us. Or as a friend of mine puts it, “What the world is doing ‘for us’ -not to us!”

When you are beneath a situation -you come out with both barrels loaded-you come out “swinging”! When you are above a situation -you come out with “understanding and compassion”! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

“Don’t get ‘broad-sided'”.

Some people manage to save up or accumulate a store of energy in preparation for a situation -this tends to serve them well! 🤔

Working out without proper rest and nutrition is counter productive – As is improper dieting!

Most people’s f***** u* s*** tends to revolve around other human beings; in relation to themselves of course! Human beings are still very much hunters and fishermen-fishers of men! But not like in The Bible! Companies go around putting alluring things on hooks to catch man, to capture their money to be more specific. We as men have to be more than just a fish. I’ve said it many times, if money is power wire so many of us giving it away? Giving it away to other people so that they can have more and more power over us? Why? Why? Why? Why? As a highly intelligent and sound minded individual once put it “We’re doing it all wrong”. Having excess riches and excess power -does not condone one’s choice to slump or slum or slumber!

When I was younger I used to connive and scheme like any needy child.

I stuck around this town for over 30 years, scared and emotionally dependent on my family and familiar surroundings-never really realizing that there was nothing there to depend on!

When you are preoccupied by how you act, come across, or are perceived by others -You are into self, and actually create the opposite effect of what you are trying to achieve with regard to others!! Most people are self-centered to a certain degree-and the thing many of us load most is being around self centered people! We can’t be the center of attention when we’re surrounded by people who are also interested in being the center of attention! Which is one reason why so many self-centered people enjoy being surrounded by non-self-centered people

Power begets more power; and self centeredness begets more self centeredness!

As long as we keep pursuing “X”, “Y”will never entirely win over us! In some cases we may even enjoy an absolute victory over “Y”!

With regard to recovery, it’s a learning experience and very early on we have to recognize our own limitations. Not all men are created equal under the umbrella of addiction! One person can get by with a meeting a week while another needs 3 A-day! Just because we see one man getting by on a meeting a week doesn’t mean we can. Doesn’t mean hes actually getting by all that well either!! He may just look like he is!

Every time I start up I say God told me… people look at me strangely… or worse yet.. But God talks to every man Every time I start up I say “God told me…” people look at me strangely… or worse yet.. But God talks to every man. But not every man listens!

The fact of the matter is 🤔 we don’t know what people are putting in our food and what they’re making our clothes out of and so forth… What we’re breathing in or soaking into our skin or ingesting…. In man’s own ever-increasing haste for profit -among other things…. Inherently, or necessarily, HUMANS DO NOT, OR CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT TRUSTING! WE DO OUR BEST TO “CHOOSE WISELY” is suppose. But it is wise to sharpen our abilities in this area. It’s probably just as important to not mistrust situations that are trustworthy; as it is to not trust situations that aren’t trustworthy. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

The less we get away from principles the more we begin to thrive on the material world. The more our means [methods] of attaining these things will become scrupulous [had to verify 🤔]! Man is also becoming more refined and more detail-oriented with regard to his quest for material-things and riches and status!

I told you the man was gonna be charging more for shirts that are larger than for shirts that are smaller -this came to me about 25 years ago. Now they’re charging more or less for certain colors. It’s already begun.

I think I see the problem in this case with the attitude of our nurse. Many of the people in the general population here suck, and as a result this poor woman has probably been dealing with hundreds or thousands of them over the years and so her own attitude has come to suck.

The more quick a person isn’t there awareness of a thing or they’re surroundings… the more quickly they will recognize the positive and the negatives then will others! A quick study trying to have a conversation with a slow study about a particular thing or place……. May not go so well

I f you continue focusing on something and with increasing emotion, you may find that your understanding as well as your relation to that thing increase dramatically-and possibly infinitely too!

By the time we notice it it may be too late. By the time we start to do something in order to be fit for the ensuing challenge, it may be too late for us! When we allow ourselves to become weak in a particular area, life is better able to overwhelm us! Which is why it’s always best to remain strong in all areas as much as possible -to the last

The last thing we are willing to give up…. is control… and to admit defeat! But in many cases it’s the only way thru!

Often times, it is those mo.ents we are least in control [which so many of us hate,, fight,,… and which is why FAITH is soooo important for us] -GOD is best able to step in!

The strongest thing in us usually wins [+ /-]. But it also needs a vector.

There is, 🤔 always has been, 🤔 always will be… 🤔 a precise correlation between our spiritual, moral conduct and that which we will experience on the material plane!

Are you bad people in the world, be grateful that there’s still some good people in it-otherwise God would do away with the whole thing!

Perhaps when the universe can no longer stomach the state of mankind debauchery… that is when God will come down on the day of judgment! Or when everything gets so bad that man is finally willing to across-the-board get down on his knees to the Almighty! Why doesn’t God take us when we’re children and I’m still free from sin? 🤔

It can take a while to train the mind and transform the heart from being selfish and self-centered to other-centered! There is constantly opportunity to apply thoughtfulness without having to be overly imaginative or overly helpful.

People are quick to complain slow to say thank you. Quick to criticize slow to compliment.

We must always be on the lookout for selfishness and self centeredness. And when we spot it try to move towards selflessness and concern for others once again. Nothing to be ashamed of so long as we’re willing to move back…

If we don’t heal from… Its symptoms will likely continue to haunt us. Emotional ills and spiritual ills…. It’s amazing how quickly we run to the doctor for physical ills but not emotional and spiritual ones!

For some people it’s hard to cut loose and for others it’s hard not to!

People have gotten to the point where they think they need to tolerate the system we’re living under high for nothing could be further from the truth! Course I didn’t say it would be easy because it’s interwoven with the needs… That’s what keeps it in place is that it’s inner woven with our needs. That’s how the people designed and get you.

Relationships I think are about 2 things: Being emotionally able or capable. And if you’ve been hurt or abused or traumatized, then healing to the point where you are [avail]able or capable; the other part is knowing, or learning what to do. By what ever means, knowing or discovering just exactly what a person is supposed to do in or as part of half of this thing called “a relationship”. 🤷‍♂️

In football you make a cut when the person’s foot is just leaving the turf -There’s really no way to defend that. Same thing in basketball. 👍

BLASTING ANOTHER ONE OF satan’s MYTHS OUT OF THE WATER ALONG WITH DARWIN, PLAGUES, AND…: 🤔 “IF GOD IS A PUNISHING GOD LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE IN ALCOHOLICS ANONOMOUS ALLUDE TO, THEN ANSWER ME THIS “WHY ARE THERE SO MANY “BAD PEOPLE” RUNNING AROUND “UNPUNISHED”? The fact of the matter for many Alcoholics coming into recovery is likely this: THE FEEL SO ASHAMED, SO FRIGHTENED OF A PUNISHING GOD WHO CLEARLY HAS THEIR NUMBER! THEY ARE THE ONE’S WHO FIGURE “THEY’VE GOT IT COMING”! SO THEY DECIDE TO TAKE IT OUT ON GOD BY LABELING HIM; OR BY 🤔 BEATING HIM TO THE PUNCH [WE’LL GET AROUND GOD PUNISHING US BY DISOWNING HIM!!! RIGHT??? NONSENSE!!! They’re wrong about God being a punishing God and they’re wrong about getting around consequences by disowning God or by changing his character!

Sometimes “WE PICK THE WRONG HORSE”. And GOD doesn’t go along with us!

I’ve met a few extraordinary women -either didn’t know it [at the time by demeaning them by questioning their character] didn’t know what to do with them!

Man chases things. It seems to be part of his makeup. How many things in this country do we chase the cause us to lose our peace of mind and our serenity and even disrupt our own value system in the process -thus throwing us out of kilter all together? We give up the very things we’re looking for in their pursuit of… -hoping they will give it back to us in even greater measure [you can’t compensate for that which is incompensatable (like violating your own “values-system”) 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️]! Maybe we’re simply satisfying our self-destructive, self loathing nature; our “need to ‘hunt-and-gather'”, as well as our “insatiable-hunger” for either “more-than-our-fair-share” or “something-for-nothing”. Man is always trying to find ways to get more for less! But we all know how the universe works! And we’ll know what building character requires! We also know that “anything worth having, is worth working for”. 💪 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

People toil and toil and toil hoping that one day they will set aside their “beast-of-burden” years [tribute to Stones 💋] and live comfortably and happily. Living comfortably and happily is a choice depending on where we set our standards at that moment! And really it all comes down to gratitude! Gratitude and Attitude! These are simple concepts that eliminate the need for years of toil to reach a particular place on the physical plane! They also eliminate all the uncertainty that exists in the world! They eliminate all the uncertainty that exists in the world that often times compromises or limits our quest for said things on the physical plane! The choice is simply ours to make!

BY-PRODUCT! Some things simply come as a by-product [not as a product you buy]! But we try to go at them directly by by-passing “the natural process” itself! A guy decides he wants to work as an attorney so 🤔, he wakes up one morning, goes out and knocks on the door of a local law office, walks in and says “I want a job as an attorney”. The lawyer asks him what his background is as well as his education. The man replies “I don’t have any, I just want to be an attorney”. Well I think we can all see where this is going -as well as the moral of the story. So yes, while it is true that in man’s world you have to earn your stripes, earn your place… It is also true that “basing internal things on the external things” is not only is unnecessary, it’s unwise! Another example, this guy is on drugs, dirty and dingy, broke, socially inept… maybe even has a few emotional/mental issues going on there… He walks up to this very beautiful girl and says “I want you, can we go out on a date and have sex?” The girl looks at him in utter shock and dismay -and naturally turns him down. The following year the young man gets his s*** together -decides to clean up his act, go to counseling to get better -and to become gainfully employed. In other words, to once again become a contributing member of society rather than one who is problematic to it. Even starts going to the gym and working out, eating right etcetera… A year later, that same girl notices him at the gym but doesn’t recognize who he is from before. She gazes at him smiling from across the room and draws his attention. You see the concept here? But once again, it doesn’t mean we rest our peace of mind and our joy upon external events or outcomes. But in order to be a contributing member of society and a member of the human race… as deemed by GOD as right and good… we do have to follow certain processes. However, it is always good to keep in mind that there is a variance between following processes which lead us to what GOD would have for us on the road ahead versus following processes which lead us to what man would have for us on the road ahead. GOD always wants what’s best for us 100%! Man is always looking for his cut [HIS OR HER “TAKE”] -in any given situation! See the difference in following GOD’S PLAN versus operating in man’s realm? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

In the Western civilization we’ve constantly overlooked the ways of the eastern teachings. We chase after something that can only be had through accepting it as GOD’S gift to us! By allowing it to happen through placing material things at the lowest possible end of the spectrum of importance!

Most human beings in this country have at least one major issue do and a few minor ones they’ve yet to conquer or address!

Maybe some of the cures for our illnesses are not so radical as we might think. Maybe we need to start daming the radical is normal and the uncommon as common or the common as uncommon! For example, who knows what the medical value is behind inhailing a little bit of crushed cinnamon into our lungs. Or what the harm is in accidentally inhaling… x, y, z… God placed things in the world that are harmful to us I suppose. Man comes along and follows suit! But I’m guessing in the grand scheme of things they are both very different! God does things with a very different intention and is perfectly in tune with…

When man makes an assertion, he is subordinate to the realities around him -though he often attempts to turn the tables on GOD’S creation [or attempts to fool himself in an attempt to prop up his inadequacies and bruised, or deflated ego]! When GOD makes an assertion, reality is changed to just that!

What law did mankind ever create the? What life did man ever create?

A man and a woman United and who have GOD’S blessing have enough troubles of their own. Just think of the troubles involved in the same sex relationship where GOD has not blessed that Union!

None of us gets everything we want. People who have aspirations of being a singer… or a doctor… or a nurse… or a teacher…. People are denied these dreams all the time. 99% of the population looks forward to a relationship. A healthy and happy relationship that A healthy and happy relationship that… Has guards blessing as well as the blessing of those they love. Homosexual relationships have struggled mightily with the teachings in The Bible and with the stigma of societidy born in bred in the teachings of The Bible itself in most cases I’m guessing. Think about what our world would be like without Jesus teachings. I’ve heard many homosexual say they didn’t ask for it. Many in fact say they don’t want it. But there is an alternative. Giving up your dream like so many! Everybody has a dream they have to give up! But when it comes to relationships, most people are unwilling to give that up! It’s too unfair! Too close to the heart! But it’s just another one of those things, however painful…. As with anything else in life that… Just like most of us want to be billionaires but only a handful ever make it there. Is it unfair? I have no idea! But making a s*** load of money and having a relationship are probably the 2 most important things in American society today! Most of us end up doing without the money so why wouldn’t a few of us do without a relationship? The 10% rule exclamation 0.10% are alcoholic exclamation 0.10% are homosexual! What’s with the 10%?

A lot of children in this country drink alcoholically but are not alcoholics! Because of how it makes them feel and because of social norms and acceptance and because of the campaign by alcohol alcohol beverage companies making it all the more alluring!

A lot of parents say that they will allow their own children to eventually make up their mind about drugs and alcohol usage! But they fail to realize that they taint their children’s decision making by they themselves setting a poor example! For example, they tell their children not to smoke -while they themselves are smoking in front of them! Obviously they are telling them this because it is bad for their health -while demonstrating that they themselves care little for their own health! Backwards at best! Don’t we really have any idea how much we injure our children by our examples! Are we so ignorant as to believe that we are going to set one example, then expect our children to make a level-headed decision about that very thing on their own? We don’t want our children to make a fair decision. Actually what we want is to distort their decision making so badly that they will never ever choose drugs or alcohol or smoking!

I used to do the groups up at the hospital and saw the laxa daisical motivation on the faces of many of these people… People who in fact would often talk of how they were doing what they were doing for their families and for their children… I would say to them two things:

● Don’t you think you are as important as your children?

● If your children have cancer, and you are sitting in here listening in on a briefing to improve their chances of survival.. What would your attitude be then?

What is the truth? What is the difference between a truth and a lie? The truth and a falsity? Your children is on death’s bed and a man approaches you and says walk out your back door and dig a hole 3′ deep West of the cherry tree and you will find a cure for your child’s illness. It’s the follow the instructions and it’s not there. It was a falsity or a lie! A woman approaches you and says walk out the back door of your house and dig a hole 6′ deep underneath the elm tree on the North side. You do so and find something there. You give it to your child and they miraculously recover. This is the difference between a falsity calm a lie, and the truth! This is the difference between satan and GOD!

It’s demanding for me to act in such a way that is acceptable by society standards [to allow relationships to form I suppose I should say]. But not impossible as it used to be at 1 point in my life. Or should I say the vast majority of it!

Gambling outfits enjoy an offset advantage. When someone comes along for example counting cards to offset that advantage, it is considered illegal -is that some kind of a joke? Do you think most people are in it for the entertainment value? They wanna win money too!

Would you rather have your child die at an early age and then end up spending the rest of eternity and heaven with you? Or would you rather have them here and now for a short while? People never think of things in these terms.

When a child or other family member is taken prematurely, and It is done so to pay for the sins of the others in that family, that they too may enjoy eternity and heaven… those people who have been spared will be eternally grateful to God and to that loved one for their sacrifice of love eternally! Literally!

You don’t think people pay for their behavior? The universe is the most precise mechanism there is! Albeit ran by a merciful God who is All-powerful and all-knowing and all loving!

Man is in a hurry to seek vengeance and to seek punishment! GOD always knows where we are -and wants to give us “the opportunity” atine for our own transgressions wilfully -therefore, HE is not in any rush, or in any sense of urgency. Understand?

Man wants GOD to punish his enemies. But begs for mercy when it comes to his own ill’s! This is one thing we hate about GOD -is that he lacks a double standard!

When we get into a dispute with another human being, we want Justice from the Old Testament. When GOD sees 2 people fighting or in a dispute, HE sees 2 of his children! Now just imagine the dispute or fight being between 2 of your children! 🤔

Man so often is too quick to abandon his fellow man when trouble is at hand! While man does not necessarily see humanity has his family –GOD does! And man hates it when GOD [circumstances] forces him to behave as such!

Very few things God asks of us to make a commitment to and then stand by it! Marriage is one of them! And man can’t even do that! His happiness is far too important to him!

When we see people getting special treatment we complain -in many cases we want it stopped [because we don’t like the way it makes us feel*]! Knowing that we ourselves will not receive it, we attempt to prevent others from receiving what we would ask for ourselves, what we all in fact should receive. Instead of being happy for the few who are receiving what we can perhaps only dream of… we try to stamp it out as quickly as possible!

*Instead of standing up for our own justice, we seek to thwart the good-fortune of others! 🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ It’s not only illogical, it’s despicable!

People have always been preferential in their attitudes and behaviors. Perhaps the worst example is with our own children.

People who kiss a** find it often works! For man is often a vain, arrogant individual!

How can one person in a town think it’s wonderful and another one think it’s horrible? How can one person think of a person as wonderful while another person thinks of them as horrible? Different standards? Different behaviors [treatment]?

If they are spending 100,000s of thousands on commercials… for UTIs then there must be something going on possibly? Some thing new happening with humanity. Or 🤔 man simply waking up to another age-old issue he/she can capitalize on!

Man doesn’t want to go entirely with GOD and he doesn’t want to go entirely with satan because he doesn’t like the consequences of either! 😇😈

One thing I could never do was recognize android step back and see what the nature of a situation ory person is and move forward accepting it just as that! To say “OK, this is what I can expect from this person -even though it is limited, or short of my own expectations, or GOD’S standard!

Even though I was getting more from having a relationship in my life -I destroyed them because it wasn’t as much as I wanted!

When you are a “complete individual” you A] have more to offer and B] are less inclined to place demands on your relationship or be affected by events, circumstances etcetera…

Why did GOD have to make sex so enjoyable? 🤔

When we become overly sensitized to something or decent citized to something.. Things stop working rider they stop working at all!

Anything man is offering karma in most cases you confess you’re gonna get the short end of the stick. As time goes on, and man figures out more ingenious ways to squeeze profits out of his “dealings”… Expect us to get more and more the short end of the stick to get shorter lol. If we go backwards and reverse this trend… or if we move forward reversing this trend…

So 🤔 what’s the difference between bad-people and good people who are fed up with bad people?

Bad or sick GOD eagerly awaits our sincere call to be forgiven! But our fellow man is quite a different animal!

We want GOD to accept us unconditionally; but many of us accept HIM conditionally! 🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Things like guilt ARE NOT SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES! REMORSE IS THOUGH!

Not everything GOD or AA asks of is is a struggle! Some things are a great relief! Like not beating our selves over the head with shame and guilt!

I remember coming to the realization early in my recovery that in order to get “over there” I will have to go through… to get there! Swallowing hard, I realized that that was me digesting a chunk of reality semi-willingly, semi-knowingly for the very first time!

●“IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER HAD BEFORE; YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER DONE BEFORE!”

Most people want a good life! They don’t really want everything that matters to them destroyed!

“WORTH” is one of those words in the human lexicon that…. if a person feels unworthy.. BECOMING USEFUL, DOING THINGS USEFUL AS OPPOSED TO “COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE” GUILT, SHAME… WALLOWING!!!!

No body likes to go to the EMERFENCY-ROOM but… 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Don’t have to keep looking over my shoulder; Don’t have to worry about taking a trip and getting busted on plane or border-check. And, you have time and money to do the things drugs and alcohol compromised -swallowed up! Go out and begin to do those things [again] drugs and alcohol eventually robbed you of!

Oh thank you GOD THANK YOU!!! FOR ANSWERING A PRAYER YESTERDAY AND REMINDING ME I ASKED!!!

●“I DON’T NEED TO BE FORGIVEN AND I DON’T NEED TO BE MADE AMENDS TO -MY OWN RECOVERY IS COMPLETELY UP TO ME!” [BETWEEN GOD AND I]. NOW INSOFAR AS AA GOES, THIS PERFECT PROGRAM… GOD SET IT UP SO WE NEED EACH OTHER… SO THAT WE CAN GET, INOST INSTANCES, WHAT WE NEED FROM EACH OTHER BECAUSE -WE NEED EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO SURVIVE!”

Until we take the horses back… people think not hurting others is enough! Oh, now that I’m no longer drinking, raging, hitting… oh that’s good enough!!!! BS!!!!! We have to repair….

Big problem in this world 🤔 -lot of people running around with a s***** attitude! The problem doesn’t just exist within the realm of humanity itself however in so far as the effects it has!! The whole world and universe suffers from this plague! Nature… Vibes radiating towards and back from the universe…

We were not put here to deplete -but to replenish!

“GOD DOESN’T GET NEARLY ENOUGH CREDIT FOR HIS SONGWRITING!”

What is with all these people trying to screw each other over in the world???? Simply put 🤔 –THEY’RE SICK!!!! People satan is controlling hate when you identify them as such!

FACEBOOK “Ahem! The 🌎 we all live in [today]: We’re either part of the problem; encouraging it; allowing it; or discouraging it. And I don’t see nearly enough discouraging going on these days [no crusaders]!”

The way to expose satan is through being open and telling the truth! Man conceals satan through his secrets and his untruthfulness!

How to prevent man from making changes to his world 🤔: Making feel himself is not in danger; Make him feel any attempt at change will go badly for him; Make him unaware or dull to the fact there’s even a problem; Make him feel powerless to do anything; Even though he is aware of the problem, make him so detached from the sense that he has any clue what to do! Attacking his strengths using combinations -generally works best!

It used to be I did all kinds of crazy s*** when I couldn’t get enough of this world! But now that I’ve had too much of it…

You want to find a person who is strong in a particular area and then further their edification or skill in that particular area -and they will go the farthest! But never underestimate the power of someone’s will exclamation poand and there is a 3rd thing or is the will the 3rd thing?

You know there are things that are there but you can’t see them but you can sense them. Michael Angelo statue of David was there before he ever sculpted it. I believe it just needed the access removed.

Humans are seldom willing to take on the burdens, or the afflictions of their fellow human beings! There are some people however who would even be willing to take on the sins of the world though there was only “ONE” who had the actual ability + willingness to do so!

In spiritual matters, strength, power matters also. When we prayer, if it is weak… 🤷‍♂️🤔🤷‍♀️

Yes, GOD can see the future; but the age-old answer to the age-old question of whether or not; the future having been written [fate], can be changed; 🤔 it seems fairly simple once one is open to the answer, truth, included in, INSCRIPTED ON GOD’S SEEING OUR FUTURE ARE “THE CHANGES THROUGH THE CHOICES WE HAVE MADE”; AND PROVIDED THEY ARE NOT DONE TOO LATE, OR WITH TOO LITTLE RESOLVE, I BELIEVE A CHANGE IN COURSE [FUTURE] CAN BE MADE OR EXPERIENCED! I suppose most people really, rarely give sufficient thought to the answers to such questions -which is why for so long, they tend to go unanswered!*

*There is an eventual outcome; but to say “we have no say in it” -Poppycock! Bullocks!

Nurses don’t even [want to] touch the patient nowadays. Gloves! Gloves! Gloves!

It should be easy to operate above the average person -but I struggle! Was I like the elephant conditioned to believe he is a mouse?

How much of your own amimosity towards others do you tolerate, even condone within yourself?

If you’re not kind to people 🤔 then all that talk of JESUS, quoting of the Bible… what is it all for 🤔 what is it really saying about how serious you are?

Why can’t people just act right? Well part of that answer lies with the people who presumably do!

KEEP IT SIMPLE! I am finally beginning to recognize the value of this sge-old AA slogan! The simpler MY LIFE IS -the less room there is for my “Alcoholism” to come out and play! 🤷‍♂️

In my experience, when the program fails -IT IS ALWAYS THE PERSON THAT IS @ ISSUE! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

This program for me addresses:

●Alcohol

●Character-defects

●Better way of living

●Better relationships with GOD, self, others!

Anything we’re closed to PROBABLY ISN’T GOING TO WORK!

●Church

●Counseling

●AA too

For some people AA is a step up, others, a step down, still others a way through!

Whether you enjoy AA or not, it works! There’s definitely a lesson in there somewhere! 🤷‍♂️🤔🤷‍♀️

If you do it, the results will come –action tends to trump attitude [or feelings]!

Why do most of us [in our prime to midde-age] not have issues with children and “old-folk” Why do we have issues with [or take issue with] people in their prime-middle-age? When for example they 🤔 cut in line in front of us, or 🤔 flip us off! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️Do we not like ourselves much -and we see our selves in them? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

I’ve heard some people sat they’re grateful to be an Alcoholic! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤔

1] Working with others

2] Intolerance for spiritual principles

*Lot of things in that book…. if you string them together…[from different sections] 🤔🤔🤔

We think we’re guilty only after we do something; But since God knows our hearts inside and out he knows exactly what we would do in situations before they’ve even occurred or ever will! God knew what we would do. So let me ask you this; What kind of a person or add it to do you think you would hold during the slave days of this country? Would you be the type of person that fit right in with The Times or would you be the kind of person that would stop and think to themselves “this can’t be right”. What kind of a person would you be in Jesus time? Would you be the one with sympathy or the 1 throwing the rocks? You’d be in the majority throwing rocks or would you be in the minority having empathy?

You know I’m not as f***** u* as I thought I was! At this time in my life I am seriously reconsidering… Babe. All my life I thought I was screwed up. Oh my wife other people fell in the screen drop. Having just had lunch with the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world… that a large part of my problem throughout my life has been to purposely or subconsciously do things to put people off or push them away. I’m gonna hold another dimension no trying to allow myself -and bring this other person closer to me. When you’ve been practicing things to the contrary all of your life it’s a bit of a challenge.

When you can envision the change and people’s attitudes towards you before you leave an altar the behavior…. It’s magical.

The key to life is to always attempt to surpass whatever she exacts from you; and not to try and skirt or scurry [shy] away from it!

There are a ton of people who can sing like superstars; but only so many slots for millions to be made.

The number of rich people in this country is growing significantly but the size of NBA basketball arenas and NFL football stadiums hasn’t grown so that is why the poor in the middle class need to move over for the rich. That is why prices are sky rocketing. Because group X doesn’t give a s*** about XY

One of the greatest weaknesses man has going against him is -his concern for his life above all else. Some things gnaw at men more than dying.

Some people have way more attention than they need and others have way less -what’s up with that?

What’s up with the 14 year old girl having all kinds of power -and a grown man has none?

What type of people who have more power than they know how to handle?

Some people believe if you can’t protect it -then you don’t deserve to keep it! These are people operating from an entirely different principle!

Courage & Strength! Courage & Faith! Courage & Effort! Courage & Consistency! TO STAY ON “THE BEAM”! Courage because fear is the first thing to weaken and compromise! Strength because Strength is “the antithesis” of weakness! Faith because Faith gives us strength! Effort because Effort helps to foster consistency! Consistency [is the antithesis of compromise -for better or for worse] because weakness and thoughts of compromise are always lurking!

*…because fear is always my immediate reaction [the problem, or prompter]. The others 🤔 are to keep us “steady”. Just imagine what it would be like being “remarkably unshakable”!

Man is more likely to change things out of a lack of consideration -rather than kindness!

11 -Aunts WBC [down from 19 told previously] according to “Big “RON”” That number, as does on occasion, came to me just a second or two prior to his giving us “the numbers”.

I have developed, over the years, many [a number of I should say] layers [defenses] to my personality. It is a struggle to keep them in check; and 🤔 I am finding out -very tiring! While others seemingly have very few layers [variance] to theirs at all. So consistency for these people is not only highly likely, there really seems to be little in the way of “any other option”. These people, in all actuality, would struggle [tire in their efforts] to be “inconsistent”. For every “Yin” there is a “Yang”!

People who have been traumatized, but are also more forthcoming and honest, are more vulnerable to ensuing bouts of fear. But tend to heal at a higher, and faster rate [clip].

Some people have multiple personalities; some people have “a multi-layered personality”.

Riddle-me-this: “Paranoia* and boredom 🤔

*it’s only Paranoia “when you’re wrong”!

However stupid the assertion… when you’re wrong, you really look “stupid”, but when you’re right 🤔 you look like a genius! Have we exhausted most avenues of “common-sense” 🤔 and is it “the age of ‘uncommon-sense'”? Just as 🤔 “Rock n’ Roll” may have withered because they ran out of “chords on ‘the guitar'”? I mean look at what they went to! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ it’s as if it was “the only option” lol

When you are trying to draw something or someone out you doe “X”; when you are trying to fend something or someone off you do “Y”. Now with regard to relationships -this is what makes them so intriguing and challenging! Just because someone is coming at you doesn’t necessarily mean fending them off is the right move in that particular instance; 🤔 or with that particular individual. And just because someone seems withdrawn doesn’t mean we should try to draw them out either necessarily.

Which is worse 🤔 -not knowing or knowing and not having the courage to…?

While it may be true from what I have been told that women get in sync with her. With one another, I think it’s also true that they get in sync with the attitudes they hold

Sometimes we have to be stronger, and perhaps more humbles than our partners.

There are certain things in relationships you stay away from There are vast multitude of them I suppose when one wants to get intricate and detail. You avoid comparisons between yourself and their previous partner. And you avoid comparisons between your previous partner and them. You don’t give someone a gift and constantly hound them about it afterwards. Get the picture?.

It’s not that GOD doesn’t listen it’s that we don’t listen or that he knows we’ve already made up our minds!

Man frivolously and carelessly and liberally takes advantage of the self will [and the freedoms] GOD has endowed him with!

It’s absolutely shocking how much of man’s literature doesn’t include GOD IN IT! We’re so concerned about imposing spiritual or religious views on other people to the point where we eliminate that which has makes all things possible?

I’ve never known GOD to come down and tell me who to marry or what job to choose [And when he does -I can’t hear HIM or I don’t listen]. But once we have made our decision and acted upon it, GOD has given us principles and direction for how too act and get through these situations.

Animosity towards your partner is never a good thing. Oftentimes it starts with something small or even unfounded. It’s amazing how many people don’t know how to put a stop to this. It’s amazing how many people buy into it!

When you’re not hearing from your partner and feeling suspicious or neglected… think about it like nicotine in the bloodstream, the longer you go without it -the urge or sensation to have it begins to grow -not only in you, but in them!

You skirt the line with your spirituality Rich! When in fact you should be doing everything you can to steer as clear and far away from spiritual-atrophy as much as possible! By now you shouldn’t know how to do that!

It’s not just what we do and don’t do but the zone we inhabit at any given time that plays a tremendous role in what [who, when, where, why, and how] we do and don’t do! And some people pick up on that more than others.

The thing about having the conviction to do anything in the world to help a stranger… How much more would we be willing to risk or give up for those we love! Now think about this when we have a love that is reserved only for those… Well, those we love… When it becomes something of a private club of sorts… Well then the reverse holds true with regard to the rest of the world, the rest of life! If our love is only parceled out to a very select few… then how much “less” are we willing to do for the world around us? For a world desperately in need of all we can give? The world is slowly shriveling because man continues to take more than he gives!

Love is not something that you parcel out… You are their love completely and all peoples and all of life… Or you are fooling yourself about what you believe to be love! Conditional-love doesn’t have love in it at all -in my humble opinion.

If I was running a gambling operation – We’re coming out ahead was the name of the game. One of the things I would most definitely consider is how often the favorite fails. Then I would set the odds to make sure that when they do fail, I can make up my earnings elsewhere on the back end. The guy vets the favorite 5 times in a row and wins 4 out of 5. That means the houses out right?. No, not if you set the 5th one… The odds on the 5th one has such so that you get your money back plus a little extra to account for the other 4 wins. Betting isn’t fair, it’s all about them! Betting is one of the most ruthless and cut throat endeavors man ever invented! Sales of goods and services is a close 2nd.

One thing you can always count on is GOD looking to encourage us -not discourage! But there’s a fine line between encouraging and not perpetuating growth in a! Growth which more times than not must come from resistance instance and failure!

If man has it within his grasp or control to make millions more, do you think hes gonna let value stand in the way in this day and age?

Nobody goes in to acting or singing or business to be mediocre do they? 🤔

Clones don’t have a soul. They said you couldn’t clone a soul. A human being!

It doesn’t always work, but if you treat people right through thick and thin, you tend to touch their heart in such a way that they begin to melt.

What are the things that are present in a long term relationship that may be in abortion term relationships? Let’s face it, most of us are successful early on in

People look weird or stupid doing things in this country until we find out they’re getting paid a shitload of money to do something stupid or relationships right? But what takes place in the transition from new to ongoing? In relationships that stand the test of time? What’s the transition that short term relationships never seem to find?

People look weird or stupid doing things in this country until we find out they’re getting paid a shitload of money to do something weird or stupid? But isn’t it still weird or stupid?

You see a woman running down the street with a hatchet chasing a man and you freak out [on her], until you are told the man burned the baby!

I think Society ask too much of men and women sometimes with regard to adhering to the law!

Takes 2 minutes to brush your teeth and 8 hours for sugar to work on your teeth overnight if you don’t brush them

They adjust the rules in football to get a reasonable result.

“Talk yourself through it”.

When a human being is either open or closed-what a world of difference between the 2.

Oil glands eliminate cholesterol and artery blockage as well as keep the skin, in my case on the face calm moisturized. I guess some people don’t have this as much as others.

When you lose a bed calm and keep doubling the bed until you get your money back

Buy a candy bar for a quarter seller for 50 cents buy 2 and sell them for 50 cents and buy 4 and sell them for 50 cents Is there a wall or a ceiling here?

If you could do one thing no 1 else in the whole wide world could do 🤔

They use the same bait over and over and over again. They keep going for the physical senses!

Animosity & Affinity

The answer is: Settle in. Be yourself but never “settle for”. Be @ your best self [@ all times -never drop your guard; not even for a moment; one weak moment can destroy a lifetime of work]!

GOD always guarantees us the 🌞 coming up! What would always non essentials withhold such high regard for a word to us if the sun stopped coming up?

“It takes a lot of work to get sick just like it takes a lot of work to get well!”

You’ll never be your best self with the thoughts you have going around inside. The thoughts you allow and the thoughts you instigate!

As when 2 teams and sports come together at the top of their game having their best night all season!!!! I said earlier, “all the person can do is their part”. When 2 people come together in a relationship who are at the top of their game… When the best and when human beings comes out in a Union…. It’s something magical and startling to behold!

I think a big part of what’s lacking a proper and the greatest possible examples among human beings! How important is what we pass on to one another versus what we know instinctively or learn on our own? Are the best human beings out there a product of learning or of our own discovery?

With regard to this new relationship you are embarking on… do you know what you’re doing? How well do you know yourself? How well do you know the other person? Would you rate it at 30%? Would you rate it at 50%? 90 think is the minimal!

Maybe this relationship will last, or maybe it’s just preparing us for the next one come or maybe it’s just preparing us to go to the next level in ourown evolution spiritually! Hard truths that we should all be prepared for in any case!

GOD is not so much interested in whether we succeed outwardly as he is whether we succeed inwardly! Man on the other hand… deadlines karma quotas..

With God come a man’s best is always good enough! With this fellow man, is best to sell them good enough! On a side note…. How often does man give his very best? To God or to his fellow man!

Man the manipulatr: Just look at the words and the approaches he uses an advertising!

When things don’t go our way we either did it wrong, didn’t do our part sufficiently, or God is looking out for a! How often do we blame God [or others]? 90% of the time when in fact 90% of the time we were insufficient for derelict in our own efforts and responsibilities!

Man’s always a lookin’. Sometimes hes even looking looking. And sometimes hes lookin’ lookin’ when he shouldn’t be lookin’ lookin’!

I think the key to a long term relationship is to remain the same person you were that attracted in the 1st place-and keep on attracting! To remain the same person you were then -from there on!

We’re not paying for the energy, nor for the materials that man puts together to supply us the things we want and need… those things are God-given! What we pay for is man’s efforts to put them together and bring them to us in the form they are now in period

You can’t look at things that way! The way you always looked at them in the past!

What do unhappy and angry people tend to think about? Surely not the same thing happy, serene people think about! Everybody goes through bad times. Some more than others obviously. Some things can’t be helped -But what we focus on and how often we stay there can!

Why do we need a lawyer -DOESN’T “THE JUDGE” KNOW “THE LAW”?

Pastors who are rich. Christians who think “GOD wants the living the “good-life”. REALLY????? IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK????? PICTURE JESUS OUT EVANGELISING TO THE POOR IN A GRAND-OL-CHARIOT!!!!! 🤔

When you’re in a good space, what preceded it and what is happening in that moment? When you’re in a bad space…

People who DO NOT PRACTICE some degree of chastity, poverty, charity… 🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Picture this -> people going to jail, people in dispute… simply telling ot like it is! You know one way of yelling people are yelling the youth? When they incriminate themselves! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Courtrooms are filled with people unwilling to take responsibility for their actions. People being misguided by their council! It takes a great deal of maturity and character to step forward and admit you’re wrong! OR is it perhaps that the consequences are too harsh? 🤔 *in courtrooms, and out in the real-world, we constantly use other people conduct -TO JUSTIFY OUR OWN!

Openess and power are the keys to the human mind and spirit!

These writings [one or another] will invariably rub just about each and every person with even “the slightest tracing of” HEDONISM EXISTING WITHIN THEM!

Just as when our own efforts [knowledge] are lacking [insufficient] in the material-world, so it is the case in spiritual-matters]. However, it is amazing that…. how long people go failing to address their spiritual wounds, injuries, limitation, shortages… We run to welfare, food-bank, emergency-room for our physical dilemmas…

Some people it’s difficult NOT TO LOOK AT! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

People are searching for answers; you give it to yhem; they don’t like it; they tell you “that’s your truth -not mine”. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

“Do you think ALL THE ANSEERS to my problems I HAVE LIKED????? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! PROBABLY NOT MOST!!!!!!

The thing you never compromise is GOD’S PRINCIPLES [values]!

When we retaliate: we give people the opportunity to justify their own conduct! When we don’t, they might even reflect on their own conduct -MAYBE!

As long as I adhere to GOD’S PRINCIPLES and not my own, and don’t drink!!!!

I think some people recognize irritating things as small and treat them as such, whereas other people do not recognize them as such or if they do, they are unable to treat them… unable or unwilling to treat them as such!

You look at the situations people walk into after the fact and you wonder why they didn’t think of that in the 1st place? Especially if they’ve been around!

Words spoken from the mouth often take but a few moments to express. The meaning behind them can often mean a lifetime of commitment and sacrifice and hard work and being vulnerable and being humbled. Man too often speaks above his abilities and his willingness. It’s only a matter of time and observation to determine whether or not what comes out of a person’s mouth is aligned with the content of their character! Thank you my GOD for answering this prayer within a matter of minutes -1 or 2, or at best 3! 🙏🏻

If you stop doing something long enough -you are no longer that thing! If you stop doing something long enough -are you no longer that thing? You are a liar and a thief and a cheat, whatever your conduct may be in the moment… eventually those behaviors will surface! If they do not, then I guess you are no longer a liar and a thief and a cheat! How can you be something if you are not producing its fruit?

—————————————————-

As you begin to work in a particular area -you begin to experience an inkling. Then it starts coming more frequently. Then it becomes something stronger. I’m beginning to feel a surge of all that life can be -if we are willing to become all we were meant to be! By the way I’m listening to silent lucidity on YouTube. “Minute into S.L. I’m thinking… I don’t know how far I am going to get on this journey; People need to see these things though; A journey of a spirit growing ever-closer to GOD; BECOMING ONE WITH GOD; A RECORD; A RECORDING OF THE INTERNAL EVENTS AND INTERNAL CHANGES; NOT UNLIKE JAQUES COUSTEAU IN A MINI-SUB UNDERNEATH THE OCEAN AT DEPTHS NEVER BEFORE ENCOUNTERED!

Thought about donating my mind to science so they could see where all this is coming from.

It dawned on me earlier in the day that too many people try to use conventional means to relate [in non-conventional relationships (soul mate stuff)] and when they fail, the relationship goes south, is considered, or rendered “a mistake”. Stop trying to use conventional means or material means or physical means with your own spiritual relationships. Feel them! Feel them! If you cannot transition with the relationships as it is evolving more and more on a spiritual level… 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🙏🏻 What often happens in relationships with people run out of words. So stop relying on words! Start relying on feelings! Let your spirits begin to speak to one another! Let your spirits begin to embrace one another! God told me a long time ago that it’s the spirit we fall in love with not the person! Some people never get that!

————————————————‘—-

Some people don’t seem able to convey adequately or accurately or easily that which is on the inside outwardly! They either don’t see many of the things around them, or if they do, see I’m unable to adequately or accurately put those things in the words! I also heard many years ago that if you can put it into words -you’ve lost its meaning! But anyways, with regard to the initial point -I don’t seem to have that problem! 🤷‍♂️

You must always keep in mind that we are trying to help people! A lot of the attitudes you Andie encountered in the world are the result of people not caring with him this attitude out there front door! In addition, or rather…. as a consequence… an attitude of helping, showing concern for others others -will in turn help to calm the attitude that is becoming increasingly prevalent out in the world today!

You may hurt me; but you only harm yourself in doing so! And offend GOD worst of all!

Remember where you come from and remember your history!

MAGGIE Girl at the music bookstore. Half these people don’t know what great is. They see it on TV and realize how s***** their own lives are. Then somebody walks into their store and represent something beautiful I don’t know what the f*** to do with it. It’s not you it’s them! You’ve been subject to the scene for years in this town. Some women can’t stand men who are more eloquent than they are [beautiful] remember. Maggie sees you for who you are and she doesn’t have any hang-ups about it! So start getting used to it! You told her earlier in the kitchen that you were practicing listening more and talking less because it’s safer. She responded by saying safer for who? You responded by saying safer for me. Oftentimes I don’t get very good reactions from people when I talk too much. Her response, I love listening to you talk. That’s what this town is good for, destroying everybody’s self worth and self image! When they see something beautiful, it’s so disrupts their own worthlessness that they want you to feel like the ugly duckling just like they do! That’s the Mexican way come and anybody who makes you feel a nip through it right back at him! Even if they just walk in the room and happen to look that much better and to make you feel small by being in the same room.. That’s the Mexican macho way! Extremely childish!

“Remember your place, Sir!”

Too many things to remember? Pick a couple and -HANG ON!

By worrying about such things; you wound the very thing you hope would remain in tact [your spiritual purity]! It’s a tricky thing ~being caught between life [reality out there: games people play; harshness and cruelty…] and ourselves [the constant battle over what we perceive ourselves to be versus what others perceive, or would have us be]~ 🤷‍♂️

The mistake many of us make is when we don’t have to work too hard for a relationship [the one or one’s that seem to be falling into place naturally]; we then have a tendency “not to work too hard for ‘that’ relationship”! The relationships that were perhaps “doomed to fail from the start” were the relationships I put the most effort into! Understand? ALL RELATIONSHIPS require constant care, and nurturing! Trying to glide or skate-by always catches up with us!

GOD seems to be guiding me irrespective of a world I so long to be apart of; accepted by!

“There is only so much of us to go around -or is there?” 🤔 Some men, and some women certainly seem to get around more than others!

It’s simple but not easy. So, does that mean something things are complicated, but easy?

Why do so many beautiful people gravitate to powerful people?

It’s not just how we act or our frame of mind rather. When we’re loaded with spirituality we emanate that outwardly. We’re not we don’t! Most people love the experience of spirituality emanating from those around them! 🤷‍♂️🙏🏻🤷‍♀️

My processor’s way too small for my… Amount of memory!

I feel weak spiritually!

When a human-being feels “small”, our tendency, quite often, is to GO/GET BIG! The complete opposite of “the right move”! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🙏🏻

It’s about the kindness, not the credit -except when WE give it to “HIM”!

Even an unattractive person gains some degree of attractiveness by dressing well!

“PLEASE GOD HELP ME TO ACCEPT YOUR WISDOM REGARDING MY CHILDHOOD! AND HELP ME TO REMAIN EVER-SMALL!”

When we are smaller than “ut” 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 When we are bigger than “it” 👎👎👎[we begin to feel… and we sense “we’re off” somewhere, somehow]!

Anyone in here think they can see into the future better than GOD? Anyone think they can see into another man’s ❤ 💙 💜 better than GOD can?

We hear sanity largely, in the rooms of AA!

Does GOD MAKE UGLY PEOPLE? We only this much: For everything, GOD has a reason!

Everything has an angle to try and cater to or to manipulate the opinion of the public or opposite. Something happens to a woman we got a woman reporter. Something happens to a black man with a white police officer and we have a black reporter woman. Where does it end? It’s not just what these people are doing but it’s the attitude of the public that’s also the issue. They react to these sort of things. Why else would the authorities be doing it to? What else would the news be doing it?

How can a person gain confidence from doing the right thing -when failure is the repeated outcome? I’m speaking of my dealings with people in this local area. How can I gain any self worththless positive image of myself when things continue to fail?

IN DOING THE “RIGHT-THINGS”, we systematically “GIVE SOME THINGS UP”! But we gain so much more! But not in our minds if our priorities are skewed, or twisted! Man is there now in this country!

Has the news, law enforcement, politicking, Doctoring…. all become BIG-BUSINESS??? It just cannot work that way!!!!! We investigate someone famous, it’s opportunity!!!!! Really???? Capitalizing on others misfortune!!!! This, along with 25٪ interest-rates used to be wrong!!!! GEEEZZZZ Becoming famous by reporting, or prosecuting, or even arresting someone famous, or infamous!

What happens when instinct goes in one direction and character goes in another?

People have no idea the value of asking God… when 90% of the population cannot ask because of pride… those that do… mean the world to him and he will not fail them!

Some men are constantly in the red and some men are so far into the green that they can take a woman… they have so much wiggle room as far as love, patience…Some people have enough talent for ten people!

Why bring each other down?????

If you keep doing what you did before -you’ll keep getting what you got before! And we all know if you keep making poor-decisions -you’re going to keep getting poor-results. But where I get a little confused is where man is making good-decisions -is getting good-results -and then and then resorts, or reverts, to making poor-choices [once again]! 🤷‍♂️🤔🤷‍♀️ [ebb and flow of man’s divinity along with his fallen-nature?]

Desperation and haste are the enemy of those in business! In addition, just look at people swarming to pawn shops -and desperate for loans.

When man really wants to get on top of something -he can and does! You can’t use money in replacement of love because it’s too finite! Love is inexhaustible for a reason, and money finite for a reason! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Man picks and chooses where he puts his efforts, and his resources -and doesn’t always xhoose wisely. And often does so at his own whim or to soothe his own conscience or to bolster his own ego rather than addressing the actual issues that should be of the highest priorities in precise order!

It’s not who you are willing or able to be in a relationship short term but who you are willing or able to be in a relationship long term! I know it’s a tricky situation but… Being who you’re not in a relationship early on just to cement the foundation really isn’t a very good idea no unfortunately the people across from you are relying on that as well when they shouldn’t. It’s why women so often get taken in by man and it’s why so often con-artists [and Politicians] are able to con. For now it’s just an ongoing part of the human reality. Getting back to the real issue here -Decide early on who is the person you are going to be for the long term -so that the other person can decide sooner rather than later whether it is or isn’t going to work for them. This requires a lot of strength and maturity and soundness of mind to risk more often than not losing the other person. Losing the other person before things even get started perhaps. But isn’t that better than months or years of heartache and wasting each other’s time? And perhaps even guilty feelings over having lied, or manipulated the people we presumably care about enough to want to spend the rest of our lives with?

The problems this country and its people are facing cannot be fixed by a politician, they need to be fixed by us the American people! But most Americans are both tired and ignorant of the solutions, if not the problems themselves in certain circles! Sadly, much of this is being done deliberately to keep people from stepping forward and causing the authorities in charge to stop fooling around childishly and maliciously and start addressing things by doing their jobs! Man the great manipulator! When hes not the great self indulgent!

Animals rely on the laws of nature to survive -and rightly so as we’re dained or deemed by GOD! Man on the other hand often tries to circumvent these natural laws because he either wants something else or something more or more of something [or less in regards to consequencrs]* than GOD and his laws naturally dictate. Or as usual, he tries to find the easier softer way!

*I suppose animals do the same thing -to an extent.

“I think I’m the sanest man I know honestly lol -maybe that’s ‘the problem”… what’s driving me insane” LMAO

I now recall that there were some tests done on the power of prayer at a rather prestigious University in our country some years back. Any idea what the results were?

Ever do something for the 1st time with the feeling that it’s going to be very easy and that you are filled with confidence? Ever gi into a situation feeling just the opposite? Can you recall any instances where you were wrong in both cases?

I don’t think people are able to accurately recognize where the line is or should be, as far as protecting ourselves from the outside world and how it damages other people in the process -whereas putting that line a little less conservatively, will allow others to recognize that the world is not such a selfish, or bad place after all!

Intimacy is a need while sex may not be as much so. I always said that if we deprive people in prison of their basic needs in a healthy way, they will meet them in an unhealthy way! Then it becomes the system that is propagating “the issues”. We force people into… we create an environment whereby “if a person cannot meet their needs in a healthy way… they will inadvertently meet them in an unhealthy way. People eating out of garbage cans or people meeting their intimate and sexual needs out in the world today in an unhealthy way because society in general so unwilling to trust -and hence, let one another get close to each other.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing to be opening up your partner’s eyes too much-certainly it’s not a good idea to try and take the place of God and opening up your partner’s eyes! Sometimes opening up someone’s eyes can cause them to think things and do things that negate from God plan, ultimate plan! Sometimes we can get people to thinking about things and yours and there’s relationships that they have no business thinking about! Awareness is planned there by satan and not by God! However reasonable… The reasoning may appear at a glance or on the surface! Do you think it was reasonable to take a bite out of the Apple from the tree of knowledge? We all know what that got us!

God takes into account all things with regard to each and every individual! Man on the other hand, is not only unable but oftentimes unwilling to do the same!

It used to be a dime difference for supreme versus regular unleaded now it’s 54 cents

The more humble you become, the more amazed, and dumbfounded people will be at the things you are willing to do!

You would amazed at how many problems, would disappear and long dormant things of beauty would appear if the world suddenly became interested in giving instead of taking!

Relationships to me, aside from growth and self discovery…. Are about 2 people building each other up in the areas where we ourselves cannot! Happy, Special, Valued, Loved as well!

One of the biggest problems in American society is that people don’t know how to treat a person who is handing, who is placing their heart in their hand so fragile and wounded and sensitive. When we make ourselves vulnerable to someone else… It’s a major turning point!

Why doesn’t GOD guide each broken person to the perfect person for them in any given moment?

I think, not only does a person have to have e certain level of anger, but something else! Something else in order to be a murderer or harm someone severely. I think at 1 point in my life I had the anger but not the other.

It’s easier to ask saying when you are saying! It’s easier not to act angry when you’re not angry! I tried covering up or squelching my anger for many years without success. It wasn’t until I was largely rid of it that I did!

Do pedophiles and ax murderers need love any less than you or I do?

If I don’t stay spiritually fit I tend to revert back to pushing people away, and throwing people off! Which tells me that those old coping mechanisms are still very much there -albeit dormant! True recovery means the elimination of them? Why haven’t it attained that level of recovery apparently!

Why would anyone want someone who doesn’t want them? Some people are just made that way I suppose. Some people don’t care how the other person feels.

FACEBOOK Look at the “bright-side” –Not having anything to talk about isn’t such a bad thing. Some people resort to “constant complaining”, while others resort to “constantly talking about themselves”. 🤔

FACEBOOK To the extent we tell the truth; and to the extent we do the right thing; in the face of adversity, danger, our own fears, our own egos… We allow GOD’S outcomes [and not ours, and not satan’s] to unfold in “OUR WORLD”! Threats of personal and material losses…even threats to health, and to bodily harm… You see the operative principle in many of the aforementioned are Courage! Selflessness! Humility! Combating evil! Dignity and self respect! Love for one’s self, one’s fellow man, for God! ONE’S WILL TO PLEASE GOD SHOULD NEVER BE OVERLOOKED, NOR TAKEN LIGHTLY!!!!

FACEBOOK When we say to ourselves “that isn’t fair” do you suppose that’s JESUS talking, GOD talking, or satan talking? When that little voice inside says “that’s not right”, is that JESUS talking, GOD talking, or satan talking? What is the outcome when we act upon these thoughts? When we say “that isn’t fair” are we not usually talking about our own self-interest -“Where’s mine?” “What about me?” When we say “that’s not right” -are we speaking to our own plan [what brand (nature or quality) of harmony or discord do our choices tend to bring about?], or GOD and HIS? Should we speak up [even when doing GOD’S work], or simply remain silent with regard to a higher plan or purpose which lay ahead [you can bet JESUS didn’t speak up for every injustice that crossed HIS path, or came crashing down on HIS BACK literally -HE was likely focused more on a “HIGHER PURPOSE” overall (as should we be also)] -and in which only GOD knows! NOW ABOUT Harmony and/or Discord? You say JESUS created discord HIMSELF! It’s right to create discord when it serves GOD’S purpose (and timing). And anything that creates harmony outside of GOD’S purpose is no harmony at all! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK A man who has made little-to-no-impression -or a bad one, is soon forgotten in the mind of a woman. A man who makes the greatest of impressions, however brief, can remain on her mind, and in her heart for a lifetime…!

FACEBOOK When we can say to ourselves “even if what satan is telling me is true, I’m going to hold firm to GOD’S -principle’s anyways” GOD’S WILL FOR US, FOR HIS PLAN “IS THEN” ASSURED” [and satan’s isn’t]! Men before me are fully aware of the power that exists behind “the taking of this position” along with it’s “rarity amongst man”! Man is often easily derailed by both “life and lies” -particularly with regards to… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK There’s a world of difference between trying to be humorous or cute -when one is “spiritually unfit” versus “spiritually fit”!

Participating in life can be very cool. Playing out certain things in life can be really cool -life is something of a play correct? But when you try to break down the play or the script, people can often times start looking at us with rather strange looks on their faces.

FACEBOOK Love is being happy for people in whom good fortune befalls. Not being jealous or hateful about it! When we love everyone, this tendency vanishes! When we don’t love people, the aforementioned tendencies surface.

FACEBOOK All we can do – In any given situation is what GOD asks of us. That goes double for relationships! We don’t ask or expect anything of things; but when it comes to people, it’s a completely different situation to us. Actually, we should ask more of things than of people -because things guided by the laws of GOD -are more reliable and predictable [because they obey]. I think where alot of people mess up is… [it would actually be refreshing if we wanted other people to act the way GOD would want them to act as well] that many of us are more interested in having people act the way we would have them. 😔 And that just doesn’t work!

If I could humble myself it would be an eagle feeding proposition.

We learned at a very early age for example that a certain height that we fall from will or will not result in harm. Why couldn’t we learn early on about the true face of alcoholisminute diction like we learned about so many other things at an early age?

If omebody paid you a million dollars to jump off the 1st national bank tower would you do it? Why not? Exactly calm because you wouldn’t live to spend the money!

The measure of mankind: Embracing the twisted and deformed and malformed and defunct! Have we accomplished this?

Making a camera from cyberware! Making anything from a few basic… [non-physical…?]

As time goes on the list for fetched man’s ideas appear! Technology begins to evolve calm of the less far fetched man’s ideas appear.As we rely more and more on technology and less and less on principles, the more far fetched man’s ideas become!

One company gets strong and buys out its competitor-for what? To be king!

Companies grow from the business of the public, then they turn around and start taking away all of the perks they initially offered us to get there. Does that make a lot of sense? Don’t give me any of that business -it’s just business c***! When somebody helps you to grow you don’t screw them!

Some people can tell sizes accurately with prospective in relation to other sizes that would normally throw the ordinary person off! Distances, heights… tell me “there’s no GOD”.

Not everything is drudgery or trudgury in the spiritual Realm! Like for instance, they tell us that shame and guilt make us less useful, and should therefore “be abandoned”!

When a woman isn’t interested in you [a man who indicates he is], or is uncomfortable around you, she tends to get an attitude. When a woman is interested in a man who shows no interest in her, she tends to get an attitude. True or false -atleast some of the time?

When a person has been shattered and GOD puts them back together.. Ever see those glasses with the real cool metal like stained glass used to put a glass or a cut back together? People can get pretty creative as well! But not as creative as GOD I’m guessing!

This morning I had this thought “this is challenging”. Then another voice said “Are you up for the challenge?” But like challenging me.

What it comes down to as many people as they simply “want to be stimulated”.

Just the right sorts of traumatic events at just the right point in your pets development can produce startling -and even amazing character traits! But someone astute, watchful, patient… 🤷‍♂️

GOD, I don’t think holds it against us -when we want the best for our loved ones however short sighted our intentions.

GOD doesn’t need our prayers -we need our prayers!

Alcoholics Anonymous is a spiritual program that has been proven to work! But if it is a spiritual program -then we must have a spirit! And if we have a spirit -then there must be a GOD that created it! 🤔💡

An important factor or character trade in relationships is getting over things quickly.

Trust is a marvelous antidote for satan’s wiles! He constantly uses truth and wise to goad us! –Even if it happened to be true.. If you discovered it and did more harm than good… then would it really be good to know in the 1st place? Why go to such lengths to find out the truth -with the intention of getting even or harming someone? Doesn’t make a lot of sense when you think about it!

Oftentimes your response or approach will be the same regardless of the situation! If your wife is a good wife you treat her with respect and kindness and love. If your wife cheats on you you treat her with respect and kindness and love! It plays to who we are versus what the world would provoke us into being or acting like. Jesus never stopped being Jesus for 1 second of his entire life! How many times have we stopped being ourselves 4 far longer!

You did the same thing with those 2 counselors at Z recovery as they did with you with whoever told them what they told them…

If you don’t fight back, they’ll never know whether they can actually beat you are not! Whether they’re better than you or not! Isn’t that the worst thing of all if somebody’s got the character to recognize that!

Some people are here to be served; most to serve. You find out pretty early on, which you have been “brought here for”! When WE recognize our place, and follow thru on it, it saves us, and others, alot of problems! For the longest time… “I”… refused to accept “my place”. Still not entirely sure about it 🤔 Alot of things are neither here-nor-there with GOD; and alot of things we value “more-than-others” GOD sees [deems] as “less-than-others”! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Would you really trade places with that person you’re envious of? Because that’s really what envy is ultimately-bad… It doesn’t make a lot of sense just to pick and choose a micro-aspect of somebody’s life and compare it to your whole life. Compare your whole life to their whole life and then see if you feel the same way! When you do it this way -it takes the sting out of satan’s manipulation and lies! Remember, everything satan does is designed to kill, steal, destroy! And he will even spread goodness [initially]; in order to achieve “that ‘ultimate’ end”! Tricky! Tricky! GOD can see right through it -but man??? 🤔 Unless a man “is not looking”;which even the most innocent of men [not spiritual -for that would mean “prepared”] can have “aroused in them” “visions of pomp and grandeur”!

People occupy many positions in life -many of them unqualified! “Professional “Job-getters!”

My password is “What was that?” Or “Pardon me?” Or “Come-again?” Or “Say-again?” 😆

“What’s the “kindest-thought” you can think of?”

“”Shock” is just one way GOD shows [HIS] “mercy” to nature!”

People [on this country] get so confused between what they think they want; what they want; what they think they need; what they [truly] need -NOT GOOD!

“PRAY TO HAVE ‘ALL’ ANIMOSITY REMOVED!” ANIMOSITY, LIKE SUCH THINGS AS ‘ALCOHOL’ IS/ARE NOT ‘OUR FRIEND’!”

Isn’t sex wonderful when there’s no baggage between the 2 of you? Maybe that’s truly what’s so wonderful about it the 1st 2nd and 3rd times…

Some people are nicer to people who are strangers than they are to those who are closest to them. Too possible reasons: 1) baggage, unresolved fear [anger] or resentment; 2) fear of intimacy.

There are plenty of strong people in the world -but what the world needs now more than ever -is strong, caring people!

When people do for each other -it’s a sign!!!!!!!! Of character, of Love, of GOD in them!

Just do a little bit every day in the house or apartment and rotate as far as cleaning go. Why spend 6 hours on a Saturday

It’s better to do the right thing and get chewed out or confront it or embarrassed then it is to do the wrong thing and get chewed out or confronted or embarrassed.

GOD either gives us the power to do to something specifically. Or he gives us general power to use as we see fit.. Man’s got to have power in order to learn and grow…. In order to fight off evil… To exert his free will!. To think of and help is fellow man! To choose an act upon evil if hes so desires!

Humans can be extraordinarily powerful with one another. The traits. The principles. The abilities. The help. The drive.

Relationships can be very powerful but also be a very precise balancing-act! The higher the quality, the more precision is required I believe.

Where man goes wrong is expecting GOD to do what he [man] thinks is best for him [man]!

Once a person has developed their ability to be worst of people…. Then the best of people comes all the more easy!

If you give too much in a relationship you could be replacing their initial reason for being in it in the 1st place!

Which would you choose, GOD’S-way -however difficult; or your way‐ however easy? Let’s just think about tha; GOD’S way however difficult -is always the best way!t Man’s way, however easy -seldom is!

Think about credit card! I had a credit card and I paid it off. It might have even been no interest or low interest. They gave me more credit. Did they give it to me because they were grateful or did they give it to me so I can get an even deeper debt in the hopes that they will somehow make their money back for the 1st loan that was low interest or no interest? What do you think companies are about? It’s hard to tell which ones care about people in which ones are business as usual! This much I do know… Many people struggle to pay off their credit card debt -or simply make their payment! Some people are making a living off of this while others are getting rich! But doesn’t anyone see anything wrong with this? You can’t tell me that GOD, benign GOD and creator of the universe -did not weave into the fabric of it all away for so many people to make a living other than exploiting one another!

If you want to rid yourself of even the slightest possibility of doing harm to your relationships, the way of doing so which yields the highest [greatest] possibility for success is: to rid from within yourself anything potentially harmful to your relationships!

Why would you want anyone” who can treat “the one you love” better than anyone else -not to be “the one” apart of their life?

“Why would you not want “the one”, who can treat “the one you love”, better than anyone else, to be “the one apart of” their life?” 🤷‍♀️❤🤷‍♂️

I am confident I can protect myself in:

a) all situations

b) in most situations

c) in some situations

d) in very few situations

e) no situations whatsoever

Once you have been around open people, you can begin to recognize just how closed certain people are! You may have to experience people who are open in various areas in order to recognize close people in respective areas!

When you are singing a song and you get the words wrong embarrassingly, you say they should have wrote those words in and that they were the ones that got it all wrong lol

There’s something very interesting about human-beings being totally in charge of their own person as well as others: They almost always [invariably] place themselves 1st. “Other(s)-centered” is a godly-trait.

When we play the big shot, GOD hands us over the wheel only partially [For GOD is not a callous GOD], and what happens: GOD blesses man; man becomes arrogant; take things into his own hands; man begs GOD to take him back; GOD takes him back; man becomes arrogant; takes things into his own hands; man begs GOD to take him back, GOD takes him back…

THE ULTIMATE IN… [neutrality] There’s a difference between being indifferent and being unbiased.

Consistency isn’t always the best thing for certain human beings lol given their individual or particular…

Be rid of animosity -if not for your own sake for GODS’!

■■■■■ I paid a $109.75 for my 49ers to advance to the NFC championship -if they don’t, I get my money back with $164 in interest… NOT BAD! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ * But don’t pay more than what it’s worth for them to win or advance!

If man and woman have their troubles and GOD’S BLESSING; then what of two men or two women who have their troubles and don’t!

Particularly when you’re young -> Relationships are about fun and games; and as far as problems go we avoid them….. In many cases at any cost -> or ignore them to our own detriment.”

*Let’s be honest, many people are looking for maintenance-free relationships [or as low-maintenance as possible]. THAT IS NOT HOW ONE BUILD CHARACTER; THAT IS NOT HOW ONE BUILDS A SOLID FOUNDATION EITHER! Some of the most unshakable relationships that have ever been were built upon Strife and Struggle! Some of the shakiest have been built upon the proverbial “maintenance-free” type!

I guess according to the peaceful Warrior movie, like anything else, when you give the mind what it needs most; and remove from it what it needs least, or is not good for it… its’ level of functioning ☝☝☝👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Looking back on World War II, or any other war for that matter, the strength you have is the strength you have although you can always take it a level or 2 or 3 up with what you have to work with… But strategically speaking and timing wise the possibilities are endless! I can’t help but wonder watching the movie Merrill’s marauders, how we might have far more easily and efficiently taken that war!

Then being submissive would be the opposite. If we’re talking of a war fueled by hatred where the objective is to destroy. Then the opposite would be to build-up through Love. If it is personal and you want to humiliate them -then you break them. The opposite of that would be to nurture them back to full health. If we’re talking to war of good versus evil whereby you seek to eliminate it from the face of the Earth. Then the opposite would be to seek conversion. And so on and so forth. These are but a few -can you come up with some of your own?”

If you want to win; go for opponents weakness; if you want to break an opponent, go for their strengths -Michael Irvin.

What is the opposite of hate? Most people will answer love-but it is indifference!

What is evil? Destroying for the purpose of destroying? I don’t think so. I used to. Now I believe it is the deepest form of hatred where GOD can no longer exist or penetrate. Well if love seeks only to express itself -then evil is perhaps likened to this? Any other ideas?

I remember once praying for satan many years ago. Why I’m not sure. Perhaps misguided in the notion we must pray for all who are lost.

What goes out comes in and what comes in goes out? I read a long time ago that under pressure what’s on the inside comes out.

You’ve heard the expression “Rise to the occasion”? You need to rise up -not the occasion!

Just do one text at a time -but make account!

First test yourself with answers to things you don’t know but man knows. Then test yourself with answers to things you don’t know and that man doesn’t know either. If you score high on the first set of questions maybe I’ll score high on the second one’s? Why should it matter whether man himself knows the answers to the questions are not. All that matters is your intuition or your level of competence 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

We always improve at what we practice (good or bad): Playing piano; Alcoholism/Addictions. We either improve or we become sicker! We either ascend or descend; increase or decline; flourish or decay!🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Truth or Consequences – There are consequences for everything we do. Consequences for doing the right thing; consequences for doing the wrong thing.

I used to think it was cool to be out “Runnin’ & Gunnin!” Now I think it’s cool to be “right where GOD wants me to be; doing what GOD wants me to do!” 🤷‍♂️

Apply what you have been taught -or not. We must either improve on what we have already been taught -or “unlearn what we have learned” -then continue to improve on “that reprogramming” (on that ‘new programming’).”

One should never be at a loss for ideas [or words] -there are millions of them. Can sn**** them out of the air if you’re so inclined or able, in the right frame of being.

How can you hope to have a stimulating conversation with someone when you never [get out and] do anything?

“Practice everything” Nick Nolte from the “Peaceful Warrior”. When we exercise every muscle group in our body… It’s like a diamond multifaceted -whose strength is unparalleled. Let’s chance of being injured when all muscle groups are fit. Is much quicker muscle gains too in weight.

Whether we want to do something or not, we tend to get results as long as we do them.

A shovel by any other name -can still performs the same task. GOD as well!

Your degree of pomp and arrogance determines the degree to which GOD’S grace[s] are shut out.

The universe is precise, while man is quite imprecise, sloppy even. To man’s own benefit [in reality, iften his own demise], he likes to think of the universe as sloppy and impercise as well -mostly unaccountable! Man also tends to believe he is above the universe [and its laws]. However, in man’s current state -he is quite beneath it! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

A lot of things don’t matter -so why do we make a big deal out of them questioned mark

Some things are the result of what you don’t do-would it be fair to say that half the things in the universe are the result of what you don’t do?

Some people have all the knowledge in the 🌎-and still they can’t make the transition [to the other side]!

Talking up “the game”. That’s their job I suppose! FOR THE MONEY!

Deciding we are going to be happy once ‘X’ comes to pass… is a major flaw in western thinking!

When you’re spiritually fit you don’t like being egotistical or arrogant; and when you’re spiritually unfit you don’t like being humbled or humble.

For the people who have been traumatized by human beings, not every human being out there in the world is screwed up or to not be trusted. However, it’s too bad there’s not more to go around.

Einstein stated the greatest indication of intelligence is imagination.

I think lake girls actually stimulate the testosterone in a man. They seem to in me.

I think there is something to pork arousing a man’s libido.

Relationships are messy. And they should be to a certain extent. It’s how we bond, how we find out about each other [and ourselves], and how we become stronger.

My girlfriend told me this evening “What an amazing man you are”. My thought a 1/2 an hour later: 🤔 “I would be even more amazing -if I had even more of GOD in me!” 🙏🏻

Not everyone can know everything there is to know about their partner -and love them all-the-more for it.

God loves it when we go out of our way for HIM!

The power behind a relationship is directly proportionalto the individuals willingness, degree in going out of their way for one another

It’s better to be miserable and humble than to be happy and pompous!

Think “the best” prepare for “the Worst”!

The best way I know how to handle the troubles in life, yroubled-people in life is to remain small [humble], and powerful [ready for anything]. When you look powerful, and act humble, 99.9% of people SIMPLY WILL NOT BOTHER YOU!

Don’t get caught off-guard! When things are going extremely well, YOU KNOW satan is always at his most dangerous!

Wherever it comes from; or whenever it came -some people just seem to know how to play well with others. When we struggle in this area, often times instead of putting our feet forward we become discouraged, even a little bit better… Or perhaps NBA of others. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ I swam in that pool for many years!

It’s come what may it’s under any in all conditions… WE DON’T LOSE FAITH IN GOD! Where people so often go wrong with GOD is: they want HIM to do their will!

People who have good relationships with others -are able to trust to a better than average degree I believe. They are most certainly less moved or controlled by the uncertainty that exists in the world -or so it appears.

There’s a difference between good people making a mistake; and bad people make a mistake.

Trust me, at least from my own personal experience-where people seem to go wrong it’s worrying about what’s going on with the other person. It throws them off their track. It pulls them away from their own base and their own values -oftentimes. You never want to get pulled off your base or away from your own values! I still haven’t quite figured out this question of trusting others but I know you can trust GOD 100%!!! Do you understand what I’m trying to say here? Let GOD be your eyes and ears! If you’re doing what’s right, GOD is on your side! Hint: THINK SPIRITUAL IN TERMS OF GOD BEING “ON YOUR SIDE” -AND NOT JUST PHYSICAL; NOT JUST MATERIAL!

Being good to people doesn’t guarantee anything -with some of them. It can actually bring out the worst and some people unfortunately.

You explain a situation between a man and a woman to a man and to a woman and you’ll get very different answers -quite often.

People should fall more in love with each other over time -not less! 🤔🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

The longer you wait to answer a call from GOD… TIME WASTED, DELAYED BY POMP, SELF-WILL, INDIFFERENCE… TRANSLATES TO… When GOD is on time every time -HOW DO YOU THINK THAT MAKES HIM FEEL?

If your son fought in Vietnam and people ran around saying that war never existed or the people who fought in that war were trash… How do you think that would make you feel as a parent? We’ll think about how GOD feels about some of the things people have said about HIS SON JESUS!

People will swim in the pool of their own choice, of their own doing!

It’s hard enough to trust people without adding to the phrase misunderstandings, misconceptions come and miss perceptions…. Everything is out between the… period! Yourselves frequently so that these things do not turn “Mole-Hills into Mountains”!

One person’s inconsistency, one time -can render another person’s consistency -inconsistent!

If you absolutely have to end a relationship, end it on the high note not a low note. If you absolutely have to end a relationship -why not end it on the high note rather than a low note? 🤔🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ In the relationship with them seeing you at your best -not at your worst!

“People who are unhealthy -usually end up hurting one another. This is where it gets a little more complicated -people who are mostly healthy, but unhealthy in a particular area -may eventually end up hurting one another as well! “I’ve been through alot, and I can honestly say I am a relatively healthy person, who is very unlikely to hurt you. And having been through so much, I’m too tired, and too old for nonsense of this kind anymore. If you cannot in all honesty say the same thing… “It takes a lot of introspection, and then a lot of character, and then a lot of selflessness to answer truthfully in the 🤔 affirmative, “I am an unhealthy person, and there is a distinct possibility I will end up hurting you!”” Then I think it’s best ‘one of us’ move on”.”

You see, that’s the thing about sick people, often times 🤔: They either don’t know they’re sick; Don’t want to admit they’re sick, or; Don’t want to reveal they’re sick!

Are you a healthy enough person to handle misperceptions, misinterpretations, misconceptions that often arise in a relationship? Or are you inclined to let your mind wander and run away with you to the point where you end up making unhealthy decisions which end up hurting the 2 of you ultimately?

A person who can take or leave a relationship I believe is less likely to act out in desperation or selfishness!

Healthy people have nothing to admit while unhealthy people tend not to admit -this makes it hard to discern one from the other

That’s the thing common when we don’t consult God in our decisions…Corporate America will continue raising their prices as long as a certain percentage of the population can pay it-those falling outside of that percentage be d*****. Pay it don’t pay it we don’t care. Well we do care about getting your money -we just don’t care about what you have to sacrifice to be able to pay it!

“Don’t worry about it -just stay responsible!”

That’s the thing common when we don’t consult God in our decisions…. Anything can happen!

You rush to judgment because you’re a girlfriend or boyfriend didn’t call you as usual… You confront them abruptly or coarsely… only to find out they were up all night with an emergency -with an emergency family matter for example. satan loves to goad us in the such corners.

I’m not interested in starting out a new relationship -and then back-peddling from there!

The problem for many people is they’re terrified of the worst outcome or consequence. Or they simply refuse to accept it! Once a person is able to accept the worst possible outcome with relatively little, or no F.E.A.R…. They can then begin to… But the problem is so many of us in one area or another… Most of us in one area or another… Have yet to conquer that terrified feeling.

Whatever the consequences are, you go abive-and-beyond it! You show even more integrity and grit then whatever the situation, or man, or the universe has to dish out!!!!

If you can get one particular muscle strong.. You can build around it with the smaller ones rather quickly -but it’s safe? Take your time and gradually progress through your body building regime. It’s better to go 30% consistently than a 100% inconsistently.

Whatever happens-I accept it as God’s will! Thank you Lord for the quick reminder as I had let it slip my mind for about 15 minutes.

A person who is grateful to go through the difficult times will most likely be even more grateful to him during the good times! My grandmother taught me to praise God and seek God in all things fortunate and unfortunate in life..

The music of The Times is very telling of The Times. Apparently the seventies must have been a very good time in the nineties and 2 thousands and 2010 not so much.

There’s a difference between not wanting to and not be enabled to.

How many for things from people they don’t have to give? We think they have them to give! We hope they have them to give! In our own desperation we need for them to have it to give-but they don’t!

If you don’t get to that last stage which is required then it probably won’t come to fruition.

There are key aspects to the cause-and-effect which will still bring about the needed effect even though other things perhaps are not in place. Is a matter of fact, in many instances man waste his time with extra parts of a process which are not necessary to bring about the needed effect. An additional little tidbit is how much money and time does man waste when he is designing something when none of that matters with regard to its actual operation.

Don’t forget that while you’re praying to GOD for your best team to win -other people are praying to GOD for their best team to win.

Imagine a GOD trying to meet all of HIS children’s needs and prayers -many of which are conflicting with one another.

How many times do we quit just before something’s about ready to Lida Spring into the wondrous universe of cause-and-effect? The things in life that are really wonderful are the things that only take very little work and repute dividends. The word start the diminished return scenarios.

Somebody always farts 1st in a relationship lol

If demar Hamlin brought together the nation. Galvanize the nation-I say we need more of it! If that’s what it takes… because man won’t do it wilfully without it…

Don’t fall prey to the old ideas which have so often led to failure in the past! Sometimes you just gotta “go for it” and try something new! You already know what isn’t working!

I often wonder how God can see or know the future. For years I have pondered this notion. But if you take time out of the equation and leave space, then everything is right there in front of you. I suppose all that’s left is to know the sequence yourfell when placed in the time continuum. Even though it isn’t in the time continuum you being the master of the universe would know this without having to put it into the time continuum. You would know the sequence as it plays out in the time continue. Am I making any sense here lol

FACEBOOK “When people at the hospital would ask the question “What spurs the person on to drink…?” I would tell them “It could be something as simple as your father missing a soccer game one time*.”” 🤷‍♂️

*All kinds of people in this country drink excessively. And so many problems in our country these days are affiliated with somebody making money off of it; or exploiting it; or taking advantage of it; or gaining an advantage because of it. Alcohol companies survive off of the demise of individuals; and society as a whole. People capitalize in the competitive realm; whether it be jobs, or trying to get a woman/man. Aren’t those the two chief competitive arenas in society [making a living and breeding]? If you haven’t learned by now to recognize your “lower-nature” and to contain it…**???

**Very few people in this society nowadays are drug and alcohol and prescription-medication free.

FACEBOOK “You can addict somebody to something; but they won’t be a true addict. Once they have been detoxed, they can go back to normal using or drinking. Is this true?”

FACEBOOK “Alcoholism is like the 2 twin bullies: Take away one of them, and the other folds “like a cheap suit”. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Take away… the obsession of the mind… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Take away… the allergy of the body… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ They say it’s hard for a normal drinker to understand the plight of an alcoholic. If you could give them a pill and they could experience it for 24 hours… Some alcoholics say they don’t understand people taking a few drinks out of a glass of wine and leaving the rest. It’s the same thing as an alcoholic drinking a glass of Orange juice and leaving half a glass. When you have a glass of Orange juice with your breakfast, do you spend the entire morning at work staring at the clock hoping for a chance to sneak out to the car and crack open a bottle of Orange juice? Of course not! That’s what it is to be normal.”

I heard it once said that in order to hold someone down, you’ve got to be there with them. I also heard it once said that if a man finds something they love, and something they do well, they are blessed beyond measure.

FACEBOOK “What’s my part in it? Sometimes it’s as simple as holding on to the past.” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Relapse comes in 2 forms: You either wanted to; or you were powerless to resist! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Relapse takes place under two conditions: You put too much on yourself, you want your life back too quickly; You didn’t put enough on yourself, you didn’t follow all of the suggestions afforded you! “Alcoholics Anonymous is not a smorgasbord” as someone once stated.

FACEBOOK “So what happens when a person doesn’t know about Alcoholics Anonymous or does not have it available to them? GOD knows when it is us; and when it’s something beyond us [beyond our own power]! Just as GOD knows when we are abusing alcohol, drugs, and even prescribed medications (versus following instructions properly; for a legitimate issue or ailment). They say there’s normal drinking -but is there normal drug use?” 🤔

FACEBOOK “Alcoholics Anonymous doesn’t take away your choice to drink, it restores your choice to drink or not to drink [that is the question lol].” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “Man’s attitude before he gets what he wants, [or thinks he] desperately needs from GOD; and man’s attitude after he gets what he wants, [or thinks he] desperately needs from GOD!”

FACEBOOK “You do small fragments, here and there; and then you eventually are able to string them together and do a continuous performance when it counts most. We see this with runners [training]; and it can also work for fragmented individuals who have struggled in relationships.”

FACEBOOK “If the team sucks [the players]; but they’re continuing to beat better teams [with better players]; then it’s gotta be the plays -right???” 🤔🤷‍♂️🤔

Vegas always gives themselves the advantage with the spread -you would think 🤔

FACEBOOK “It’s a good idea to know what’s going on underneath [subconsciously]. I would imagine that with some people – there’s not much variation between the inside and the outside -but with others… Whooof!!! Scary!” ME -Whoooof! 😏

Why would anyone fight against the American people taking back power in this country? Well… because most don’t know how “the game” works [is played]? 🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “MAN IS AN “OPPORTUNISTIC-CREATURE” who far too often… in America, life seems to be all about opportunity! Now, we no longer simply capitalize on opportunity, we spend our days thinking about how to create them. Opportunity has it’s place -as with anything else… for example, you can take in too much water, even too much air… and when that happens???” 🤷‍♂️

There’s always someone there to capitalize on someone who stands out among our kind! Men do it; Women do it; Our children do it!

FACEBOOK “If something is missing from your relationships -it could be this: Looking out for one another; taking care of each other!” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK “Two problems with “the” formation or establishment of a relationship: The things that worked in the beginning no longer work [with/on the other person]; People change from who they were in the beginning to something else*.“

*Bonus round: As a relationship evolves, more and more of the subconscious begins to come to the surface. If there is a striking contrast between the conscious and the subconscious realm… the person may just find themselves in for a big surprise**! [Just my humble opinion 🤔]

**Holding steady in a relationship may not be as easy as it sounds. Not only should you yourself hold steady [for obvious reasons], but you should in fact impart to your partner that you are steady so that it may assist them in remaining steady [another (not so) obvious reason]-and to complicate things even further… Your partner needs to be thinking along the same lines as well! Now the chances of 2 people both either consciously or naturally being gifted with this inclination or ability…*** 🤷‍♀️😏🤷‍♂️

***Consistency -but of a certain kind naturally [or perhaps 🤔 not-so-naturally]. Once again,, “that which doesn’t come naturally -requires a conscious effort****!”

****🤔 Is part of the job of the subconscious to keep the b******* part of the conscious self and check! To keep it from running entirely away with visions of grandeur?

Why do some people lose their accents when they move to another place, while others do not?

FACEBOOK “Take away the ego; and suddenly everything seems so clear! Suddenly everything makes sense! Take away fear…” 🤔

FACEBOOK “When we are thinking straight… 🤔 It’s easier to act sane; when we are sane*! It’s easier to act free from anger, when we are in fact free from anger* [within ourselves]. Simple concepts which seem to escape most of us.” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

*The more spiritually fit I am; the more it appears that I am free from “unspiritual–bonds”! There is definitely something to this -and better still 🤔 a way to achieve this freedom [seemingly] “at-will”.

The formula for relationships is very simple actually! But not in this country!

FACEBOOK “One of the very first things I remember hearing when starting school at the college was “School, among other things -teach us [how] to be(come) “Individual thinkers”.” 🤔

FACEBOOK “People today -I think 🤔: Get confused between that which is “a right”; and that which is “a privilege”.” “Ya think?” 🤔

“I know I don’t always get it right; but I’m guessing I do get enough of it right; that I am right most of the time [where others are not]; even though that doesn’t excuse all errors! I’m guessing, “where we get it right is probably more important than how often we get it right”.” QUALITY not QUANTITY?

FACEBOOK “Don’t get two [too lol] down about your luck, or track record in relationships -It’s not all that uncommon as you might think; for people who do everything right, to get rejected, or to have things go south as well! Remember, “It takes two baaaaaa… be’. Baby it takes two!””

FACEBOOK “If I wanted to fit into society [so badly], I would have been better off figuring out how to do things according to society; as opposed to getting healthier*. Getting healthier ~in a lot of ways~ only alienates us further from society [and certain people]. True story! People for example don’t always act healthy around people who have power over them. How many people walk up to their boss and tell them “Hey I think that was really unfair”. Great advice in a counseling or psychiatrist or psychologist’s office! Yeah right, and the boss is gonna say “Well you know 🤔, I am so glad you brought that to my attention, cause I never would have realized what a jerk I was”. I was told a long time ago that as children in an unhealthy home we really were at the mercy of those around us. Then I was told that as adults we were no longer in that position. Really???? Have you heard the stories**???? You walk up to your boss and you stand up to them you are either being treated improperly or not being treated fairly. And most of the time they’re gonna tell you there are 5 other people waiting to take your place on this job. The only real power any of us has is the power to walk out that door and face an uncertain world. To me that sounds a whole lot like the same situation we were in as children. Power is power, weak gain a little more as adults, but the programming is still their in most of us; and a bully is [still] a bully is [still] a bully is [still] a bully***! 🤷‍♂️

* Relationships are not 1st and foremost about health; they’re about “connecting”. Healthy people connect. Unhealthy people connect. Healthy[ier] people even connect with unhealthy[ier] people. See this all the time!

**They say there are no kings and queens in America, that we live under a democracy. People are constantly being bullied by their bosses and companions [and peers].

***Why don’t we do more in this country about bullies in school and bullies in the workplace [and in relationships] ? Why have we overlooked these two [three] areas for so long?

When an honest man does business with an dishonest man, who usually gets screwed? It’s an unfair advantage -or so it seems. Oftentimes on the material level but never on the spiritual level! GOD ALWAYS SIDES WITH AN HONEST MAN!

Business men who are honest… And are [still] able to thrive in a dishonest business environment or climate. Are rare and exceptional individuals because they like women working in the workforce, have to have to perform above and beyond… Stay ahead of…

From a spiritual standpoint, and to a certain degree [in certain situations] in the material world as well, it’s better to be a victim than a perpetrator! GOD DOESN’T PUNISH VICTIMS!

I understand now that I don’t really fit in this world and that I don’t really think a lot like the rest of this world, and that my chances of finding a relationship that will work for me are extremely slim. I didn’t understand this for the longest time!

I believe certain things need to be in place for us to progress. Willingness. A certain degree of worth. A certain degree of feeling it is right or just. A certain degree of maturity both psychologically and emotionally. And, a certain degree or level of wellness or function remaining in tact that allows for the mechanisms of healing, and growth to still materialize… bring abdout… bring forth… bring to fruition…

An individual with heightened awareness has to also have a degree of humility [I suppose] in order to process these unwarenessess unscathed or untouched [so as to minimize harm done to not only] the individuals themselves, but to the awarenesses themselves [by altering them as is so often the case among man]… probably will not “jive” well in his society riddled with denials. Just look at [what happened to] the people throughout history who are forerunners and [often mis-labled] “Rebels”.

A special kind of light that makes life grow. Yes that is correct, like in the movie “Frankenstein:

It’s better to have the whole world against you; and GOD on your side; then the other way around!

I was going to say it’s not the good things in life man has to worry about; but the bad things he must contend with that pose a problem. But GOD naturally, brought me to my senses immediately. You see man struggles in every aspect of life!

The mouth can say anything with the combined possibilities of humanity taken as a whole -including possessions. Not everyone will say anything, not everyone will say things that fall outside the realm of fact or truth [as they know it to be]. But not knowing the individual, we don’t know that! Soooo, are we lost? Is the truth lost? Is trust lost? Good question. Many people don’t even care about any given individuals character anymore, just assume they are guilty, and depending on your station either prosecute, persecute, pronounce guilty, move on, or proceed with caution! REAL NICE! We’ll make an outstanding steward and example as the spearhead of all GOD’S creation based upon that model for living! Outdone by every other species on the planet??????

FACEBOOK “Too many people trust the authority of their community or their government who make poor decisions -just like anyone else. And…. job security also sways judgement of employees whose common-sense might otherwise prevail.”

FACEBOOK “It used to be that when life was much more simple that: relationships were basically about surviving; and if you were lucky, a degree of comfort; and if you were really lucky, love! Nowadays in modern day America… People are being sized-up left and right like a Bills-Brothers-suit. There’s no longer that sense of desperation that keeps the ego in check!”

FACEBOOK “You know what’s worse than a lack of gratitude? Being picky! In fact, you know what the opposite of being grateful is -being picky!”

When people are stressed out and pressured, they are much more likely to error. So, if you want a crack at a lawsuit…. Pressure someone and stress them out while they’re in the middle of doing something of grave importance. Or perhaps even something mundane where big business is involved.

It’s obvious why people and companies do the things they do for their own advantage and protection. You don’t have to read the fine print to understand that human nature! Is in the fray 98% of the time!

If everything on the Earth were the same size as human beings.. We human beings would worse be worse off not better off as far as being threatened or harmed. That just goes to show you how weak and vulnerable man really is without his technology and weapons.

It’s good to have a basic understanding of God’s law and the law of man

“Well when they start showing me respect I’ll start showing them respect”. No no no that “generation b*******” formula just doesn’t work. You show respect to people you don’t sit around waiting for them to show you respect otherwise you’ll be waiting forever! It’s about how you carry yourself and how it makes you feel inside not about how other people treat you, you treating them the same way or worse, and then having nothing inside to show any kind of integrity or sense of happiness over. That’s why everything’s all f***** u* today! This very f****** attitude!

We don’t need more laws -we need better people!

I guess when a country has it made, 🤔 eventually what begins to happen…

It’s taken me a very long time to begin to recognize and go beyond my own denial that -what’s wrong in this society is the thing that matters most! 😔

I think people are running more and more on instinct, and that’s not good for a so’called “civilization”.

As far as generation X karma Y karma Z.. Why don’t we start with some basic values and manners…

Everybody I think, is a product of their history to a greater or lesser degree. And this all plays… 🤔 all comes in to play with regard to how GOD sees us; And how HEcontinues to love us! He, More than anyone else, HErecognizes the role, how much of a factor other human beings play in how ensuing generations of people turn out. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ AMEN!!!

Why don’t we have a limit on how much money people can suck out of the system? We have a limit on everything else!

Do they punish the act or the outcome of the act? The outcome involving the act? They add extra punishment to make an example of you; to discourage the behavior among the masses and that is unjust! GOD doesn’t do that and neither should we!

Oftentimes the most profound things you will ever hear are the known brainers that are simply a reminder long forgotten.

I had a guy walk up to me after a Group therapy session in which he had been sitting in on for about 30 days of his time at the hospital. We talked for a few minutes the day before he was scheduled to leave the hospital During our discussion he told me that’s the only thing I’ve ever heard come out of your mouth and I think I can use. I told them well and glad I could have given you one thing to take with you that you found useful. The other thing I was once again reminded of was the fact that what one person recognizes is obvious other people will be hearing for the very 1st time. I have my favorites in these writings and I’m sure other people will. I have things in these writings that are obvious to me but won’t necessarily be obvious to someone else. I was also reminded that group therapy is group therapy not individual therapy and that you have to start where the least knowledgeable individual is in the group. It’s like going out on a hike with your family, you know what the speed of the littlest and the slowest family member correct?

It’s not just about the metal of a person. Good people and bad people have metal. It’s about the values of that person!

One thing key to relationships is to never stop loving someone no matter how rough things have gotten tweenya!

It’s great when you hear a black man idolizing a white man rather than a black man for a change.

One way we learn about relationships is continually putting ourselves in the other person’s shoes. “Mirrorring”. Look at ourselves through the eyes of others is another way.

All these commercials on the Web where they never really seem to tell you what it is that the big secret is without you paying. Man is an opportunistic creature! Rather than help his fellow man -he tries to capitalize on him. It’s gotten to the point [in many circles] where simply helping people is considered strange. If you’re not trying to make a buck you’re probably up to something! They’ve turned God’s practices into something to be mocked at or viewed with suspicion. That’s what I would do if I was satan. Turn those tables! As I was saying previously, let’s take these newer generations and turn them back into decent human beings with a clear cut idea of right and wrong -of GOD’S ways!

The lower you stay -the less hard you will fall. The smaller you stay -the less likely you will get hit with something from above.

FACEBOOK “Even though you can afford to pay $2.50 for a small fry at a fast food place, where you can buy a whole 10# sack of potatoes for the same price… what you say to yourself is “No, I’m not gonna pay those prices -because somewhere out there there are lots of people who cannot afford these ridiculous prices!” If you want some change to take place in certain areas of this country which benefit the poor, the needy, the impoverished… that’s how you do it! Constant thought of others! Think outside of your own Box! Just because you are blessed…. GOD –blessed you, so that you may bless others [that’s real power from above]! That’s the answer to the riddle -why am I blessed and others are not GOD BLESSES US; WE BLESS OTHERS IN GOD’S STEAD]? If we were all blessed, then we could not…There would be no need for the existence of such words as “Charity” or “Brotherly-love” or “Brotherhood-of-man”!“*

*I’ll throw this in as well: When something happens to our neighbor, oftentimes we pay little attention because it’s not we ourselves. You do know what I mean when I say pay little attention right? Sure you’re concerned! Sure you feel bad! But do you do anything about it? Of course not! You’ve got your own hands full right? And what would you do even if you wanted to? We need to start finding answers to that question! What can we do? You know how animals out on the plane’s kill or attack large herds? By taking down one at a time! Even then you see animals band together at times to protect one another, to protect their young! What’s happening in this country is that we are being taken down one at a time! If we don’t start standing up for others, sooner or later it’s gonna be our turn! The government and corporate America seem to have a pension for the week! They don’t want to spend a lot of money and time going after the strong**! So it’s up to the strong to protect the weak!***

**The strong go on to live long, fruitful lives -while the weak get picked off one-by-one! The strong go on to live long, fruitful lives -until they themselves become the weak!

***One more thing: Until we learn to love other people’s children as our own… if we can’t even love another person’s child… How are we supposed to love one another? Use the children as the ties that bind us together as a nation; as a world; as a species! “WHEN THE CHILDREN CRY” by WARRANT

☆☆☆☆☆Darwin! I saw a documentary called “The Zeitgeist-Addendum” I believe that in one of the segments it refutes the notion by Darwin that in nature the strong survive in the week perish to cleansthe species of the weak! But there is another side to that coin. God endowed man with the ability and apparently the willingness… For the strong to help the weak! There is an inherent value in this act [and another as well 🤔] that impacts us internally unlike anything else! So ask yourself this -are we stronger as a species for allowing the weak to perish; or are we stronger as a species when the strong protect the weak? Why are these concepts so difficult for us to recognize? To apply? Is it that mankind is only capable or designed to love so many people in his circle? I think man can love as he goes along -don’t you? At the very least, we’ll have to love in the moment! Possibly love in the space we are in at that moment [only]! Only GOD perhaps can love all the time; everywhere!”

The strong go on to live long, fruitful lives -while the weak get picked off one-by-one! The strong go on to live long, fruitful lives -until they themselves become the weak!

Not only is nothing changing -we’re going in the opposite direction!

I think man no longer wants to contend with a messy emotional aspect of things between himself; within himself and between others! Keep watch for a future…. 1984?

FACEBOOK “It used to be that power feared the masses becoming educated and knowledgeable. They no longer seem to fear that. Why?”

FACEBOOK “As man evolves more and more… His own kind can actually derail him slowly but surely -further and further into “the abyss” [However 🤔 as is taught, and demonstrated both in the book, and in the rooms of ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, MAN CAN IN FACT LEAD HIS FELLOW MAN, HIS FELLOW SUFFERER FROM THE DARKNESS -BACK OUT INTO THE LIGHT [OF FREEDOM] IF HE SO CHOOSES]. Generation after generation after generation! To the point where he literally no longer knows his left from his right! Absolute distortion of truth, reality, justice, even right-from-wrong! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ It starts with something as simple as our children not recognizing what real cream taste like, should buy for their money! We know what real cream tastes like. Remember when we used to buy a 1/2 a pint for 69 cents? A quart for 99 cents? The real deal! I realize now that there is a point in time in life where everything reaches ahead! Where life is as good as it’s ever going to get! And then from there it starts to decline! Few resources? Perhaps! But at the root of it all is that man recognizes that with so much bounty there is also opportunity! Like a greedy child who sneaks an extra slice of pie when no one is looking!”

Man often gets lucky, and stumbles across things. Man is not an inventor so much as a discoverer [genius is all about being “open to…” I believe 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️]. Man is not so smart as you may. Oftentimes he relies on trial and error rather than his own calculations, imaginations… Why do you think they had to reverse engineer stuff they found from the aliens? Because he wasn’t smart enough to come up with it himself. Oh I suppose eventually… Why does man have to go chapter by chapter by chapter? Why can’t he skip from “A” to “Z”? Did GOD put these limitations in here? I can honestly say that more often than not, when I am staring “A” right in the face in front of me, “Z” oftentimes comes out of nowhere!

SIDENOTE: Alot of these so called brilliant screenwriters come up with stuff from life itself [or someone else as has been documented a time or two 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️] -trust me, many of them are no genius at all! They even have to pay somebody else to put the fluff in.

Thoughts have the power to alienate or to congregate! Thoughts have the power to elevate and to levitate. Thoughts have the power too decimate and to desecrate.

It’s getting harder and harder for people to see the truth. It’s getting harder and harder to get people to see the truth.

It takes a lot of money, and is very costly to a society itself, to maintain the title of the greatest country in the world! It’s imperative that that country maintain a sense of humility about it -otherwise… Many people think we’re very immature and pompous around the world. I am inclined to agree.

Some people believe that you stand behind your family and you stand behind your country whether they are right or wrong. Is this what you believe? Our country is not the Saint many of us would have it believe it is. Many of the stories out there, a few of which have been proven true to the chagrin of the powers that be… Indicate we are willing to cross certain lines to maintain our status. When we start fighting wars in the same way the bad guys fight them for example… We cannot allow the world around us to force us into lowering ourselves to their level. We prepare for wars because other countries are a threat? We do what we do because others do what they do. Should a man or a country go down adhering to their higher values? Or should they discard those values and survive at any cost? I think much of this has to do with a belief, or not, if there is a GOD and an afterlife. Even if there wasn’t to be proof that howl man lives is everything! And that some things in life gnaw at a man much worse than dying! As Kevin Costner put it in the movie “OPEN RANGE”.

The United States use to stand for integrity and staunch Christian beliefs! Now it is the epitome of hedonism and materialism. Ego and pomp! Distortion of the true meaning of freedom ->RESPONSIBILITY ->HUMILITY ->A LEVEL HEAD ->GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DESTH [COURAGE]. The age old question, do we dictate the world or do we let the world dictate us? Are we in the Palm of the world hands or is the world in the Palm of our hands? There was a time when the world was in the Palm of our hand now we seem to be in the Palm of the world’s hand.

As with any civilization throughout history which manages to rise above all the rest… The world is watching and like water which seeks its own level… So often that civilization is looked upon with skepticism and envy. Many people want to bring it down. The fact that we as a country have not always conducted ourselves above board so to speak… Does not help matters any! When our own allies are looking at us cross-eyed… 🤔😏😔

I love the story of the Russians back in the nineties who, I’m are playing off of our own metamorphosis as a country… Made the statement that the Soviet Union is and always will stand for… And anyone visiting our country who has a problem with it -can leave. When we in this country start making compromises with regard to GOD so that we do not offend people coming into this country… When we begin to place more importance on man rather than the GOD who blessed us with so much good fortune… Can’t you see, can’t we see how much things are changing in this country and how good fortune seems to be tainted now more so than ever with bad fortune? I think the time is coming once again, as it has done throughout history, where we will be forced -not asked to bend our knees and reach out to GOD to save us from ourselves! Why don’t we ever learn! It’s apparent to me that The Bible is dead on about man!

Some people’s appearance changes drastically over time while others do not!

I think many people whose development is youthful [even immature] for whatever reason… tend to have their bodily development affected in kind. If you can have a 35 year window where you look and feel pretty much the same… You are extremely fortunate. I managed to reach about 40 years or 42 years. But I think the time is coming now…

I see a lot of 40 50 60 year old adolescents running around these days.

The difficulties of the depression produced some of the finest human beings this country has ever known. These people came out of this era with the mistaken attitude that their kids were not going to suffer the same lot. People coming out of tsecond World War… And look what’s happened to our youth ever since. A decline in values and constitution and integrity.

Thank you my Lord! When generation after generation started proclaiming “What’s going on with this younger generation nowadays?” We really should have paid closer attention in this country! It was a warning from the old one’s -and from GOD staring us right in the face! We never listened! And when satan is talking to us… even though we cannot recognize it at the time… surely we MUST at some point be able to recognize it by the fruit it bears*. But man refuses to go backwards, only forwards. Perhaps he refuses to admit that he has been duped. Not punishing children with corporal punishment. How is that working for us**?

*When both the parents left the home to go out and work; Concerns about the child’s welfare had to be appeased. So doctor Spock and these other people came out with the idea that it wasn’t the amount of time you spend with your child but the quality of the time. This of course is turned out to be a big mistake and a lie. Children who were better adapted to their environment in Africa who spent their time constantly on the back of their mothers and little satchels were far more secure and emotionally grounded than American children, babies. It wasn’t just the quality but the quantity! And guess who benefited from men and women both going out into the workforce? Corporate America and the government! Twice as many taxpayers! We could now raise the prices on goods because now there were 2 earners in the home! And the government and corporate America has continued this trend to the point where 2 people have to hold down multiple jobs in order to keep up now. When are we gonna stop letting the government and corporate America determined what we pay for things? When are we gonna stop killing ourselves to keep up with the pace they are setting? As long as we choose to remain separate from one another, we give away our power to right and to fight these entities. Entities who care nothing for us personally***!

**You never want to terrify a child through corporal punishment. But you definitely want to get their attention and instill in them that they are not the boss****!

***This system should serve the people; not the other way around. People who are struggling and turn to the system for help should not be turned away or told no. When that happens it’s the people serving the system or subordinate to the system rather than the other way around.

****I could never understand how a parent can lose the upper hand with a child when they are the sole supporter of that child’s survival/welfare [ultimate power – Oh sure, satan of course is gonna say oh you can’t do this and you can’t do that -while meanwhile the child is running a muck (of course you have to draw the line somewhere on how far you go 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️💕)]. You cannot give a child everything they want and need and expect them to change -you have to prune them somehow! A man’s worst enemy is a full stomach? I suppose the same holds true for a child.

Do you recognize when satan is trying to turn you against your loved ones?

If we human beings we’d only share our deepest thoughts and experiencious… we would know that there is something at work in the universe that is trying to bring us all down!

When you can give away the stuff that means the most to you to people that need rather than the stuff that means the least… People often buy people what they themselves like as gifs.

How far can you go in a relationship, or anything else for that matter come before you begin to unravel question martial arts, in karate, when you run out of moves… that is when you are dead how many feet can you move forward demonstrating move after move after moving till you run out of moves?

Just because you live in a civilization there’s no excuse to not know how to survive or to be fit for survival should the need arise!

I think every man in this country should be at least as fit and strong as the strongest woman out there don’t you agree?

I can stomach the strongest man in the world being twice as strong as me but not 3 times as strong!

When you have a perfect angel before you, and you start to wig out, then you know with certainty that it’s yyou! Where things get a little bit more complicated is when are surrounded by not-so-perfect angels and we begin to wig out and we’re unsure just how much of it is them! It was once said that whenever there’s something wrong with me -it’s me. It’s me regardless of what around me is triggering it. And what about when you have a perfect angel before you and you’re not being triggered, doesn it mean there’s nothing wrong with you? Absolutely not!

It’s easy to think we’re over a resentment when the person or the place where things we’re resentful of is not within our range of vicinity. But when they get rid of the range or vicinity, often times we quickly discover that we were never over that resentment.

I don’t believe the speed of light is the ceiling! I don’t believe that a human-being cannot hold two thoughts at the same time. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

“GRATITUDE” is not a luxury -it’s a necessity!

Don’t let fear detour you from taking that step into the unknown! Through effort, though inexperienced, we learn, grow, we improve! Training-wheels! When we first got on a bicycle our bodies had no clue about the physics behind “balance”. But GOD made us, made the universe and all it’s laws JUST FOR US! Not the other way around. Don’t procrastinate and 5 years later find yourself in precisely the same place! Time is a wonderful thing [a friend] when we put it too good use; and a terrible thing when we don’t!

If you want time to go by fast…; I’d you want it to drag along… People who fear dying…; People who DO NOT fear death… 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

The more boring my life is… the more I tend to look forward to just about anything to break up that boredom. The more exciting my life is, the more I loathe the notion of taking the time to be of service to others. When people in AA start to get their life back… Set up your life so that you yearn for something to do for another rather than loathing doing so.

The more exciting life is 🤔 the more frightened people tend to be of dying.

I have everything I need -i don’t really need anything from the neighbor; from my gurlfriend; from… anyone! Very little currently!

Often times we look so well in the rooms of AA that it backfires on “the newcomer”

Think about what God is doing for you and not what man isn’t.

The importance of unity -people today think they can get by without any! They are gravely mistaken! That’s what people who fear unity want us to think!

How many times have I thought of doing “X” but didn’t because of “Y”? “X” being something responsible or accountable or kind or daring? “Y” being the ego.

There are 3 things you need to consider when you buy something. Is it a necessity or a luxury? Is it going to go up in value over time or not? If you buy something and you can’t turn around and make your money back on it right off the bat… you paid too much for it!.*is it perishable?

Many times people make up excuses after buying something and paying too much.

I don’t go for people running around positive all the time -even when life is s***. Just doesn’t seem very appropriate at times!

When we trust in man -we’re looking for specific outcomes; When we trust in GOD -we accept any and all outcomes! Or is the the other way around? When we trust in man -we brace for any and all outcomes! When we trust in GOD -we’re looking for specific outcomes!

I want the Eagles to lose [reverse betting] so… I bet the Eagles as a consolation to winning 😁 I want the 49ers to win [reverse betting] so… I bet the other team as a consolation to my team losing 😁. *I am terrible at winning bets; so why not bet on the teams who are playing against the teams I want to win? Since I always lose; that can only mean that in order for me to lose a bet; MY TEAMS SIMPLY MUST WIN! 🤷‍♂️ AND I ALWAYS LOSE WHEN I BET! GOD-THING??? [Discouragement-factor???].

Is that the way it works? I come to you so I have to deal with you on your terms? But what if it’s not fair? And what if in a democracy the majority rules but is incorrect or wrong? Should we go along with it?

When you’re dealing with people it’s always important to know that they know what they’re doing -or is it? Is it important to know? Or is it important that they know what they’re doing? I’m guessing this is especially true when heading into a relationship with others? Business or personal? It’s amazing how many people don’t know what they’re doing -heading into a personal relationship! People are actually easy if you know what you’re doing -and they [as is so often the case] don’t.

That’s why you need to clear your mind -so GOD can enter in and you can think straight! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

So, 🤔 what happens when we clear our minds, God interested in, we start thinking straight, but we start using it to our own ends? We you start using GOD’S grace to our own ends? I’m thinking God’s grace is God’s grace and like anything else we can use it rightfully or wrongfully. Until it runs out? I can tell you this much -GOD isn’t going to be pleased!

One major asset in any type of relationship is -not to be a problem to them!

“I don’t think I have a lot on my mind -but I have a lot on my ❤!”

When there is a conflict, as is swapped in the case among the human beings buying for our own personal desires… needs… person who has the purest heart at the moment tends to get their desires Grant to do that!

In Alcoholics Aynonymous we have a saying “The person who gets up the earliest has the most sobriety”. I ssy “The person who has the most GOD in them at any given-time -has the most sobriety”.

*****What is the outcome when a person wants to quit drinking -but doesn’t have the power to quit availed within them? What is the outcome when a person doesn’t want to quit drinking -but has the power availed with in them to do so? When a person meets both of these requisites in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous.. Magical things begin to happen! We experience all kinds of miracles in the rooms in fact. Physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual!

I don’t agree that miracles have to be sudden! A miracle for me is something that tends to defy the natural laws of nature which God has established! GOD wove into the fabric of this universe every possibility HE wanted and every possibility he did not want. So if it is possible, it serves GOD’S purpose! Certainly HIS intention!

Another indication of [God’s]* ignorance and satan’s cunning is this**:

* See how satan works? I spoke man’s ignorance and put in God’s ignorance! Where in the h*** did that come from? The microphone of course! “Another indication of man’s ignorance and satan’s cunning: “Man tries to explain away the plagues in The Bible as natural occurrences”. First of all,🤔 What are the chances of a plague of frogs or locust coming down on an area at that exact moment? Second of all, 🤔 In terms of these plagues being “natural” as opposed to “supernatural”… Why on Earth would God not utilize nature as the source of a miracle or a supernatural-event since HE HIMSELF too created nature? GOW IGNORANT ARE WE??? I heard it said once in a Bible class that “satan sees man as easy to manipulate; easy to fool”. Any thoughts to the contrary?

** Man in his own arrogance would surely agree that the universe was created for him; and not the other way around. That being said ->many of his arguments fall by the wayside! You take Darwin for example: 🤔 Man is going to take animals as an example of how he is to conduct himself? Man must be the example to his fellow creatures [creatures GOD made him lord over] -and not the other way around [sounds a bit like the chicken, or the egg argument – You can debate where the chicken came from: but I think it’s fairly obvious you need a chicken to make an egg] -basic reasoning -minus the overthinking! In addition, would you expect man as a higher being in this universe to allow his fellow human-being to fall by the wayside rather than to utilize the highest principles in assisting his survival and progress? And in war, do we not consider the slogan “Leave no man behind” a principle of the highest order? In adopting Darwin’s theory, why don’t we leave our weak and injured to die; so that we may be stronger for it? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

The church’s idea that a miracle has to be defined by a sudden occurrence defying the laws of nature? I don’t like to speak against the church -but who are we to determine when and where God’s hand is [or isn’t] at work [man’s arrogance & ignorance once again on display -a certain amount of openness & humility are key here? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

The Bible was clearly not written to sell books-certainly not to this new generation! The person writing it would be hanged for sedition again’s humanity itself! It would not be very popular -that’s for sure! Without even speaking of the supernatural wisdom impari did and it’s pages… is there just a couple of reasons why The Bible.. Why it is highly unlikely that a man wrote The Bible!

I’ve heard many a person in Alcoholics Anonymous state that they are there to save their a** not their soul. Nothing wrong with saving your soul in the process is there a?

I’m not getting up and getting on my knees before GOD because I have to get-up-and-get a glass of water anyways -NO!!!!

Man accepts all kinds of things from his fellow man on faith alone. BUT NOT FROM GOD; OR THINGS PERTAINING TO GOD; OR THINGS PERTAINING TO “THE SOUL”! We speak of people who are dead as if they no longer were. Something must have left them when tgey died -Something most of us really don’t want to admit to! If all there is in life is here and now and our bodies and our minds and no soul… then when a person dies -are not the body and the mind still there? Why do we speak of them as if they have gone? Everything an atheist for example claims we are, is still there in that dead body!

Why is it we lose our innocence when we have sex? Is sex a bad thing? Did GOD not make it? Or maybe sex is bad but procreation is good. GOD does mention the purity of virginity however.

The more I practice -the luckier I get!

I have failed over and over again -and that is why I succeed!

☆☆☆☆☆Take a piece of paper and draw A-line down the middle and on the left side right out the principles of recovery and on the right side draw the principles of addiction. And you will see what is driving the outcomes in your life, the very quality or essence of your life in fact!

One of the things we love most is one of the few things that can destroy a tooth!

I recently read an article on…: How do sportsbooks set betting lines to have a house edge | VSiN
https://www.vsin.com/sports-betting-101-how-to-calculate-the-house-edge/ I’m thinking 🤔 “This is precisely how the rest of the world basically operates”. In many parts of America anyways -in my humble experience”.

Intentionally, in tennis: you wanna hit the ball low, deep, and wide as possible -back-and-forth. Run your opponent ragged!

I’ve gone to both bookstores in our local area recently and it has dawned on me that interacting with these people-there’s something missing in them. GOD???? I THINK SO. Certain awarenesses [experiences] too! AND finally, CERTAIN PRRRRRINCIPLES!!!! Yes, I think that’s it!!!

Well, whatever we go through, we can always use it to move a little closer to GOD’S plan for who HE would have us be -as long as we are open to it [HIM -shaping us ~Afterall, HE is “the master sculptur”~]. As it says in the book of Alcoholics Anonymous, “there’s enough opportunity for growth through these principles to keep a human being busy for the remainder of their natural life!”

All we can do is put our best foot forward and be forthright with others! When we’re honest with others [first of all ourselves], we give them the opportunity to make [sound] decisions based on “the facts”. Not out of ignorance, assumptions [as is so common-place], nor falsities [as is also common-place] these days.

Fake it till you make it. Sounded like b******* to me at 1st. But when you look at it this way, everybody has to start somewhere and knowing little or nothing -certainly with regard to experience 1st hand.

Humans are always trying to find the easier softer way to the point where there’s no longer any constitution or character left in them. I would always ask “if you could get muscles without doing any work… If you could lose weight without doing any work… How have you grown or become stronger as a human being?” THINK ABOUT IT 🤔

Think about a sheikh who is All-powerful and has all the money in the world and has people waiting on him hand and foot. Or the billionaire boss who has everyone scared to death and at his or her beckoned call continually. What kind of quality of relationships do you think these people have with the people around him? I mean these are basically examples of people who get everything they want out of life! The fact of the matter is that under these conditions these are not relationships at all! We need to have the uncertainty, the freedom, the disappointments inherent in relationships between one another to actually form real relationships according to how GOD deemed things. It’s a mere image of the relationship between ourselves and the Almighty himself. Who has more power than God and yet he does not exercise it along these lines…

JESUS had the power to micro-manage more than anyone else who ever existed on the planet: and yet HE was anything but a micro manager! Think about it! If we go around correcting people for every little thing they do wrong [even if we’re right 100% of the time -which we aren’t of course], our relationships are eventually gonna be a total wreck.

They tell us not to judge each other because we’re all, among other things, flawed our selves. I like to use these extreme examples to emphasize things [outliers: 0 and 100]. But even if we weren’t flawed, even if we weren’t hypocrites by judging another person… What would it accomplish? JESUS was perfect; and he didn’t judge! HE wanted the best possible relationship with people without compromising his own principles! Satan will do anything in his power to steal a soul! But JESUS on the other hand stuck to his guns -HIS Heavenly Father’s guns! Seem an unfair advantage? Do you really think satan can outsmart GOD! Even though man’s base nature seems to favor satan! People don’t want too much of GOD -and they certainly DO NOT want too much of satan! Nobody wants to burn in h*** or sell their soul for a few moments of pleasure or riches or fame. But satan never lays it all out like that for us does he! It gives you the good part of the deal! GOD on the other hand tells you the bad side of things up front! Seem an unfair advantage? GOD wants us to climb while satan wants us to coast. Oftentimes, man himself wants GOD to descend to us rather than us ascend to where HE is! Man has the choice between his lower-base-self and to ascend. He has the choice of doing either [of them] alone; or with help from those around him, or that which is availed within him.

GOD is a gentleman; and will never intrude or impose! HIMSELF satan on the other hand… People wonder why satan exists in the world and why GOD doesn’t stump him out. First of all; we unleashed and welcomed satan into the world –not GOD! Secondly; going back even to the Garden of EDEN itself, man had to make choices [choose a side]! Thirdly; man was made in GOD’S OWN IMAGE. I don’t know if he was meant to grow in the Garden of Eden or if he was made perfect then. But most certainly, out here, outside of the Garden of Eden, man is destined to… at the very least -redeem himself for his initial transgression in the Garden by once again, and repeatedly, CHOOSING A SIDE!*

*Some people [appear to anyways], make a choice one time and that’s the end of it! Others need to [re]make [or reassert] that decision day-to-day or in some cases, moment-by-moment! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

One of the irrefutable laws of the universe is that each man must make a choice. To not make a choice -is a choice! Man has to decide who he will be and what he will represent! There is no way around it! Who he will side with! GOD! His fellow man! Himself! Satan! Nature! I think we all get the point here!

I shoot from JESUS’S hip!

Just as it is unlikely that an Alcoholic after taking the first drink -will be able to refrain from the second. If man couldn’t keep a shit together in the Garden of Eden then how do you think he’s going to fair outside of it?

If man did to JESUS what he did; then what can the rest of us expect as far as treatment goes?

I OWE GOD–GID doesn’t owe me!

…And nobody gets out of here alive; and nobody is exempt from choosing a side; and those who are deemed unfit to do so, GOD will deal with separately [For lack of a better word which seems to havevescaped me at the moment].

“Are you familiar with….?”

“Not the word itself but perhaps the concept itself”.

Many of us are probably more familiar with the definitions rather than the words used to label the definitions themselves.

Human is just a word. We could be called anything actually as a representation of what we are or appear to be to one another. I suppose what’s more important is what we are in all actuality! When you think about it in those terms -it’s a little surreal don’t you think? I mean what are we really? And more importantly what are each of us choosing to be? One of the earliest concepts I was ever.. Well this is not exactly true but nonetheless…. Who I am is God’s gift to me, what I make of myself is my gift to GOD! Rather Profound WOULDN’T YOU SAY?

I’m not looking for an attractive woman I’m looking for a woman I’m attracted to! I’m not singling out or targeting a particular group when it comes to women… oddly enough! I take each person as they come and what I’m looking for is someone I’m attracted to who’s a good and decent person!

GOD seems to be answering my prayer of replac in all thewritings that are scattered about here and there-including the 4 wins!

I’m not sure if this is right or not but it came to me none the less -you don’t treat people good you treat them right!

So, do we show the type of kindness GOD prescribes, which tends to make many who are either leary, or all-the-more-conscioys of their own callousness; or do we do it according to “the world”?

Some people manage to deal with certain critical or difficult situations amazingly well because 🤔 -theyre never actually, or quite “in it”! Some people are truly strong; while others are merely detached!

Not everything unfortunate, is unfortunate. Not everything that seems [to us] to be ‘Not of GOD’ is not necessarily ‘Not from GOD’. ->GOD either “Acts” or HE “Allows” -mothing more and nothing less [However, HE perhaps still cteates; and HE still desyroys!]. Mention GOD as frequently as possible!

You can breathe too much and you can drink too much water; but can you pray [🙏🏻] too much? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

We pray because it helps us -not GOD! GOD knows -trust me!

If you can’t treat the people you love any better than that…. sometimes tho -we treat strangers better because there’s no history, baggage, resentment, hurt!

“use it either way -but us it for good”.

How many things in the world would cease; if there wasn’t something in it for us?

You either “do it” or you require inspiration from outside yourself.

Man’s will is the wild-card he uses not often enough! Man’s will, can at tines produce “supernatural acts”.

POLITICIAN ARE NOT JUST FLAWED [THAT’S BAD ENOUGH; People are out there praying for it! Looking for it! And in some instances,fabricating it!

Take a court case; you’re the prosecutor; you frame [portray] certain facts as “X”; Now wave your m**** w*** and suddenly the prosecutor is a defense attorney. Now just sit back and watch how differently they frame [portray] that same set of facts as “Y”.

If everybody just came forward and admitted they were guilty when they were guilty… How many people would be out of a job or miss out on all the intrigue? A lot of people are addicted to the intrigue of human drama and suffering and sadness.

If you punish people too severely they will lie to escape the consequences. If you give them a paid vacation in Europe for a month, they will lie and say they’re guilty when in fact they’re not. Do we want to get to the truth or not?

If you want to cheat a lie-detector test come recei to the question posed to you, and then ask yourself a question immediately in your own mind that will answer to protect you from any show up on the machine as being truthful. Is Mailing a letter.

Small group of people make it impossible to be able to trust everyone. But I think the bigger problem is that a lot of people lack the ability to discern. Because of their own limitations they paint everybody with the same brush!

One way of telling you’re smart or been around “the block” is… at some point in the awakening of my mind in college, something very interesting began occurring: I would watch the news, and so-called “experts” would voice their opinion about something in which justoments, or minutes before, my own mind came up with.

FACEBOOK I stumbled on something about 15 or 20 or 25 or more years ago that was very interesting 🤔. How much would you be willing to pay for your favorite team to win the Super bowl or the World Series or the NBA Championship? Or perhaps rather, how much would you be willing to lose? Well it goes like this, and the more exciting the game, or the more there is up for stake… Let’s say your team is in the big game for the final game of the season in the playoffs? Let’s say the 49ers are playing the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC championship and you’d give anything to have the Niners win that game [there’s an extraordinary level of emotional investment]. The higher the level of emotional investment… the higher you might be willing to invest in a bet. And get this 🤔, when your team is the underdog -it gets even more interesting. So let’s say the 49ers again are playing the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC championship. You bet $100 dollars, and your Niners are 3/1 underdogs. The BIG-GAME plays out; both teams give it everything they’ve got; but your Niners come up short and your disappointed 😞. But to help you get through the morning [and mourning] of your loss, you pick up a nice little payday of $400! 🤷‍♂️ Now here’s the other thing; Now here’s the other side of that 🪙; if the 49ers win and make it to the Superbowl -you’re so excited you could care less about the measly hundred dollars you just lost ‐because you were willing to pay that much to have them move forward anyways right? So, if you 🏆 [win], you lose “X”; if you lose, you 🏆 [win] “3X” + “X” [back]! 😉 I guess for most of us [fanz], “all-or-nothing” has been the conventional approach in betting [because I’ve never heard of anyone betting like this before]. And then of course there have always been those “playing-the-odds” simply to 📈 profit 🤷‍♂️.

You can put an envelope in the mailbox without a stamp and it will be returned to the sender.

Likely man on the precipice of his demise, crying out to his HEAVENLY-FATHER for mercy [not that we are worthy, but GOD makes allowances]. I mean if the name of the game is Salvation, and thus eternity in Heaven… Then you have to figure that the end times have something to do with that -“The final judgment!” Again, you have to figure a loving Father who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-merciful would pick a point for Judgment-Day where HE can reap as many of the souls of HIS children as possible. Snatch from satan as many as possible! HEAVEN HAS LAWS, JUST AS WE DO DOWN HERE! But remember, God can change LAWS [at will], we cannot! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

We’ve analyzed relationships so much over the last 50-60 years. And we have not only transformed it into a science but also big business.

I go bowl why would I feel not by what the scientists and the therapists and the psychiatrists and the behaviorists say. Because I have my own mind and I use it! I’ve got into trouble doing things that way because people immediately want to impose their perceptions, their assumptions upon my motivations, my intentions! Who I am doesn’t fit their model.

I used to get very angry with people-but nowadays what’s the point? You never change anything. People seldom do what they don’t want to do when it’s not in their best interest or when they only see that it’s not in their best interest. Anytime we affect a positive change involving another, it’s always a positive change for ourselves! In addition, the more you try to force a human being to do something the more they will often go in the opposite direction. It sucks but that’s the way so many of us are! I’m sure THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF has a few tales about that!

Just as all kinds of things go wrong when we trust man too much; all kinds of things go right when we trust GOD too much!

Are you who you put yourself out to be to others in reality? A person who is who they are for better or for worse is a lot healthier than a person who pretends not to be who they are who pretends to be better than they are. At least that’s my thought to! Perhaps one of the healthiest features a human being can ascribe to is being who they are for better or for worse and -being who they are with other people for better or for worse. Sure we will suffer some consequences, but that’s how we change and grow and learn. People who manage to sidestep consequences seldom change or grow or learn and most certainly do not please GOD in the process. Let me preference the above by saying that there’s a difference being fake [for person gain or to avoid a consequence] versus attempting to be a better self. Let’s face a common most of us try to improve ourselves and our character because it’s beneficial. Most of us probably aren’t thinking about pleasing GOD. Or more of the other internal aspects. It takes great integrity of/and character to narrow it down to these. But as I was saying, there’s a difference between being on your best behavior for selfish reasons; and being on your best behavior for unselfish reasons. For reasons that are admirable and warrant merit! The highest merit -that of pleasing our CREATOR!

A man who is spiritually-right has no trouble resisting various temptations [in perhaps lower forms -but really it’s different for each individual depending on where and to what degree he or she has given themselves over to GOD]. Let’s not get too carried away here lol. For instance a man who is spiritually-fit can resist the temptation to sleep with a woman for example that he really likes and would prefer to hold off on where as a man who is unspiritually-fit will likely be doomed.

For the longest time I never really dived with the notion that satan was trying to… Trying to knock me over more and more as I ascended higher and higher… It’s becoming increasingly evident to me now!

You want to have thoughts that bring about feelings of understanding and warmth not judgment and negativity with people-expecially those you love and those you hate!

If you’re worried about losing someone in a break up then don’t you think about the good memories and the good things about them think about the nuts so good, think about how you might actually benefit from the break up. Think about God perhaps having someone else better suited to you out there.. I’ve always grinded myself into the ground in the worst possible way in these situations. Made myself hurt 3 times as much as I could ever shoot of.

When you start trusting in God instead of people, those quarks and those stressers and those fearful dreaded humanistic fantastic traits no longer matter as much.

I believe Einstein spoke of the imagination as the chief characteristic of intelligence. A person who can tap into that in every aspect of life here she either encounters or is thrust into whether it be car mechanics or rocket science or painting or raising your children…

You always gotta be on the lookout for life overwhelming you and having that translate into a bad decision for a bad mindset that will reek havoc and long term are even permanent damage to you or to those around you.

When I was a young man I would have been ashamed to walk into a room with a largely overweight woman. I had no depth. Today I’m falling in love with an overweight woman and I’m not the least bit ashamed to walk into a room whither. Very proud because of who I am today because of who I know her to be in the most important ways. In fact I’m growing little-by-little because we just met, I’m growing overtime to love every part of her inside and out. I might already.

Only a fool refuses to change certain areas of his life in the face of what life will cast down on him! And only a week or very stupid man changes those things he should forever adhere to when life comes thundering down upon him. But who among us has never been weak?

I like to go back and pretend I’m hearing a song for the very 1st time. I’m not sure how long these reactions on YouTube have been around but I remember thinking back 20 some years ago to imagining someone listening to one of my favorite songs for the 1st time in just being floored by it.

People do fall in love with voices literally.

You either cave or conquer or overcome or adapt in a relationship 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

We’re not gonna be around forever-so make a count lower here, make it count what we can.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Worrying where’s this town, takes aside of our zone!. Texas in the wrong direction! Probably more so than anything, the lack of faith in God anot following the teachings and his principles to the contrary.

“Let’s do some good”.

“I’m not responsible for what other people are, I’m only responsible for what I am!” ~ From the movie “The Big Country” with Gregory Peck ~ Awesome movie for young man trying to find his way. Trying to find out something about what it is to be a man!

“These pick up fights, do you ever get afraid?” ” I don’t think about it.” ~ From the movie “Hard Times” with Charles Bronson ~

I’ve grown to really enjoy texting because it allows me to operate at a pace conducive to how quickly my brain thinks and operates…

Sometimes you get it -if even only by a thread. Some people don’t know. Some people do know -but they can’t seem to get it to play out in their own lives. Many people who for example work and field assisting people with their relationships can’t seem to make their own work.

Treating a woman right can be a real challenge for many men! Think it has something to do with the personalities. With past experience and behaviors.

If you cannot stick to the plan, [or] if you cannot control yourself…

Powerlessness! If you no longer have control of the steering on a car… You no longer have the brakes… If it happens to be both… I heard a story about a man who bought a Van it has cruise control and he put it in this mode and went into the chair and popped open a drink…

All you gotta do is be good to a person, that’s all you can do. Anyone who wants to expect more than that… I know, I know it’s human nature… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

“GOD IS LEGENDARY!”

“NOOOOOO-BODY’S PERFECT!”

FACEBOOK Relationships often have to be put through the things that we don’t want to experience – Things that are however paramount to the vitality and the longevity of that relationship ~Which is why so many atrophy, are lethargic, and will never last. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

If you can’t cut it in the rooms of Alcoholic’s Anonymous where people care, understand your, and where there is no alcohol… How are you going to make it out there in the big bad world?

Some people’s relationships seem to be characterized by confusion -and yet they seem to never end. Others are characterized by great clarity [by one of the two individuals] and yet people in them cannot seem to get on boredom!

FACEBOOK “You might be surprised at the number of people who simply feel unworthy or uncomfortable with being treated the way a human being should be treated in a relationship. Often times people want “X”; but “Y” precludes[?] them from…”.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “The universe is all about relationships and relationships are all about energy [Ultimately -all power comes from GOD -and serves HIS end]. The amount and the type. If you look for example let The Bible end at the book of Alcoholics Anonymous… They are all about relationships! They are all about power!” You may not agree entirely with this premise!

FACEBOOK “Very early on it was told to me from above that “Recovery is all about teachability and flexibility“”.

FACEBOOK “I won’t be able to keep doing this forever -who ever really can? Each of us, in GOD’S own way -contributes an intricate [and intimate] piece to the puzzle. So, contribute while you’re able; contribute while there’s still time”.

When the elite if the elite come together, the most admired and sought after of our kind, who do you suppose is more inferior? Who breaks or shows signs of deficiency[ies] rather? In what areas?

You are me playing in an NFL game for 1 or 2 plays -and we’re finished! It’s a testimony to the durability of these men!

“…and that’s your prerogative.”

“Never stop reaching.. Or questioning” “HOW COME?” UNCLE STEVE [as a young Ladd, I was always asking “how come?”]

Be open to everything -except evil.

I suppose I have a few blind spots.

Women seem to be drawn to a man with confidence-even if that confidence is misguided or misplaced Even if a person comes off as abrasive or something else… people who take a stand or people who are well established in their persona….. People seem to be drawn to that..

Until you remove the constant -you have no contrast in perspective.

FACEBOOK “There’s a difference between ‘not doing something anymore because you’ve gotten an attitude towards someone and not doing it anymore because you’re reading the relationship and feel it’s the right thing to do’ [at the time]. Relationships are continually, and very much so about “attitudes and decision-making”. Preferably a “positive-attitude” and “right-decision-making“.”

I would sometimes dream or rather envision the type of man who had the ability to really connect with women. True-Shtory! 🤷‍♂️

One thing you really want to avoid is injuring an injury. That’s why football players and basketball players are pulled immediately after an injury. Fighters too with a broken nose or broken hand nowadays… Broken rib… Concussion…

FACEBOOK The devil turned the tables on Christianity, or so it seems for the time being. Anyone practicing “out-of-the-norm” acts of kindness, generosity or friendliness… are viewed with increasing suspicion, scorn, ridicule! Can’t we see what’s happening here? The “Pyramid”, the symbol of… is being subverted [inverted?]. When God’s teachings become viewed as “abnormal“. As Al Pacino put it in the movie …And Justice For All ~”There’s something really wrong here!”~ This is all paving the way for the [spiritual] battle between good and evil. And the persecution once again of Christians! Think I’m lying?????

Start challenging those hang UPS, start challenging thoyou’ll syncrasize that you’ve been carrying around with you, in some cases wilfully, in some cases proudly for the past few years or decades. I’m going to challenge one right now!

Momentum is dangerous and can be counterproductive and exercising-especially when you’re older.

Man’s problem so often with the gift of God’s grace is he simply cannot enjoy it. Of course the lack of appreciation, or even recognition IS OFTEN THE CASE AS WELL. 🤷‍♂️ A lack of basic common sense or appreciation aside, man’s ego often swells in the midst of such power afforded to him in the form of grace!

it’s simply amazing not only in the contrast in an individual woman but as a whole, when a man walks into the room who is highly appealing versus a man who is viewed with suspicion or even loathed. That sort of thing is a turn-off -which is why women who are not like that I love so much.

When you pay your no-interest loan off in a timely fashion so that there’s no interest applied at the end, thanks 10 21 loan you more money in the future so then it’s some point you get into so much that you can pay it off in time. And then of course when you don’t pay it off in time you end up paying interest and of course when you are late you end up paying a penalty or a higher rate, OR BOTH! It’s all about them!

98% of people either have a healthy respect for the law and common sense, or feel they have something to lose, it’s the remaining 2% we all have to really watch out for!

How? GOD!!!

Makes you wonder 🤔 why some people don’t duplicate that formula more often!

Wording, and choices of words is something we really have to be careful with with one another. Phrasing?

The relationship game… If you’re prepared for any outcome emotionally… For the longest time I wasn’t even close. I have a different foundation and a different understanding and perspective. For me most things have never worked out so chances are that will continue to be the case. I refuse to concede to that for many many years and it’s a painful way to go. Sometimes agonizing. But there are other things that have changed in my life with regard to failure and disappointment. Maybe I just have less hope.

F-CJust hold up your end, don’t get sidetracked by outcomes or consequences or attitudes or judgment.

Rinse your eyes out occasionally. And if you’re going to take a shower only once A-day take it at night at the end of the work day not in the morning before the work day. Just a suggestion.

Drinking works so well I completely forgot.. Drinking work so well when I came into Alcoholics Anonymous I honestly was convinced that drinking was my problem. It took me a while to figure out that I was the problem and that was the reason why I drank to begin with. At least in part lol -yeah right!

Some people you just… your eyes just seem to wander back to in a room for example. 🤔

Took me almost 7 years before I could walk in a store, not buy anything, walk out being afraid somebody os going to grab me by the collar and tell me to empty my pocketsm

When I was a kid, I was always the one who got caught -not the others. I think I faired better than many of my peers because if it. I think it’s very difficult for people who manage to escape consequences to change. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

GOD IS THERE -EVEN UNTO, AND AFTER DEATH! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

if life REALLY sucks, a person has a tendency not to care so much whether they live or die. When life is great. [The other extreme] people have a tendency to cling yo life [more] voraciously, more zealously!

As a man, don’t you just hate the idea that another man can treat your wife, or partner BETTER THAN YOU? There is a way around that you know!

Why doesn’t the News talk more about things like “man brings flowers home to his wife for second straight wee in a row?

We doubt God in so many ways and he is the most sure fire thing in the universe he is more knowledgeable and wise and loving then we could possibly imagine! And these are precisely the areas where we fail to either believe in him or understand him.

“…unless you have other plans LORD!”

Why am I not surprised that mankind is becoming increasingly melded with technology? Rather than with GOD!

The more reality we can take in.. The more we can process and not fight or run away from or inhibited ourselves through.. I think everything in us.. I guess it’s that old saying what doesn’t kill us makes it stronger. With a wrinkle, the more things we can face that don’t kill us the stronger we will become. Perhaps I’ve been doing that voluntarily all these years.

I think I created a lot of scenarios and why in life for the lessons that I needed to learn stubborn league. Just think about that 1. I’m not bragging on myself, I’d say the same thing about another-there’s an incredible type of character to that approach -or stupidity lol

Most people don’t appear to have a problem with a person who has a sensible-approach to life.

If a person with a great foundation starting life [growing up] tried as hard [at improving him or her self] as a person who was practically obsessed with undoing the damage from a less than ideal life [a very poor upbringing]… imagine what that person could/would accomplish at the end of their life [imagine a whole country, an entire world filled with such people]! Afterall, there’s no rule that states “no matter where you start out in life, you can’t/shouldn’t improve”. I’m not talking about improvement that gets you by in life, or gets you material successes, or an ideal lifestyle or relationship -I’m talking about pushing beyond that, I’m talking about reaching the stratosphere [or pinnacle] of self-manifestation. Or whatever it is that that philosopher called it. Thank you LORD! Self-actualization!

I try to imagine what life in this country could be like if we based it upon “spiritual-health and well-being” rather than “physical-power and material-excesses”. 🤷‍♂️ A world led by GOD, and love, and charity; rather than man, and fear, and greed.

I figure if I can learn from Ray regarding the negative side, and exceed him on the positive…

FACEBOOK “When you do things expecting things from people -it’s a trap! We’re setting ourselves up for when inevitably -people fail us.” “Unconditional Love” is the best way to protect ourselves -and our relationships! 🙏🏻

Two things God told me when I first moved into my new apartment: It’s not what other people think it’s what I think;z People are what is important! True story!

FACEBOOK Back when I first moved into my apartment in 2003-2004. I remember hearing a broadcast in reference to Andy Roddick who s fairly new to tennis at the time. The reporter or broadcaster said of Andy Roddick with high praise, “for such a young man he really does get it”. Or words to that effect. Now it’s been clear to me all my life, that I never really did he added. So at that moment or very shortly after that, So at that moment or very shortly after that, few minutes, couple hours… I turned to GOD and… well I guess pleaded with HIM “GOD, I WANT TO GET IT!” A response as immediate as a bolt of lightning ensued. 2 things:

■ “It doesn’t matter what other pints people think, what matters is what I think!” We all care so much for what other people think and so little about what GOD thinks.

■ “People are what matters!”

Are you floored? I still am to this day! 🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK GOD knows everything about us and still HE loves us. You can only come up with an accurate hypothesis or… With all the facts correct? Seldomly does man ever have all the facts, if ever! And yet he forms conclusions all the time. Of course it’s no secret that man judges his fellow man all the time -with very little of the facts, sometimes none at all. Do you really want to match man’s conclusions against GOD’S? Do you really want to choose man’s conclusions over GOD’S?

If people shouldn’t be overconfident when things are a lock -which is practically non-existent. Then how is it that so often we are confident In things that are not a lock?

What does the public consumption of Alcohol and the public demonstrationhomosexuality have in common? If you can answer this…

I’m an individual thinker. Sometimes this works out better than conventional societal norms and wisdom: Sometimes it doesn’t. What I mean by the latter is that sometimes it isn’t well. And since I am flying solo, winning it’s so to speak, sometimes the risk doesn’t pay off. The antithesis of that is people playing it’s safe; The loss of doing that is that society doesn’t have the best answers in a lot of areas. Am I a Maverick or just rebellious?

One of my favorite lines from any movie is that of jaws where Robert Shaw says “It just proves you college boys don’t have the sense to admit when you’re wrong”.

FACEBOOK “You understand the words, but you miss their meaning”. From a movie -whose name I cannot remember.

FACEBOOK “Love is a word in our society that is used far too little; and far too much!”

If whatever you’ve got going for you can attract enough attention -you can make money [or enemies]. Isn’t that how websites like YouTube, Facebook make money?

Some women put on way because they don’t want men hitting on them. Some women put on weight because they don’t trust themselves with men hitting on them.

Let yourself go freely with those you find yourself in the company of -who make you feel so special.

The way we love our children is the way we should love our partners. No stipulations! Then, and only then, we are all but guaranteed longevity in them!

With some people. Unless you’re really out their as far as such things as values go, they will [this is one way of looking at it] lump you in with everyone else! My family, and maybe they’re right to do so, don’t see me as highly intelligent, or devout. I’m just “Rick -same old Rick”. Although someone in the family once told me I had changed. Some people don’t recognize ‘what only appear to be minor fluctuations in character[?].

Extremely strong Faith! Someone once commented a couple of years ago that they wished they had as much Faith in GOD as I did. ☺

☆☆☆☆☆Alcoholics and death. Extreme self-centetedness. Guilt. Shame. Fear -greater than normal!

A lot of people in the rooms of Alcoholics who don’t want to hear about religion from other members are practicing the same closeness that they themselves were victims of. 🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “I stumbled across something years ago. Many people, in AA for example, are uncomfortable with hearing the precepts or principles of religion. I tell them that the principles themselves were around long before organized religion ever existed. Therefore, they are not religious in nature -but spiritual rather. Universal [and beyond perhaps (definition of “spiritual”)] in fact!” 🤷‍♂️

Are you more spiritual than human, or more human than spiritual?

It’s not a sin to be poor. But according to Jesus it’s no excuse for stealing. Personally I don’t have a problem with a guy stealing to feed his family. But to support his drug habit or to take a woman out on a date or impress her… Nahhhh!

If we didn’t make materialism such a priority in this country, people would probably be less inclined to steal. Society creates its own nightmares! But good luck trying to convince them of that. The guy who walks into a Post Office in shoots 30 people… The guy who walks into a school and shoots 30 children… 911… Even hint at the idea that society or our country brought it upon themselves in part or as a whole… Would bring about such a back lash towards that individual… People can’t, or don’t want to make “that” connection.

don’t have anything against certain races [although my upbringing had in it elements of racism I must continually strive to overcome] I have a thing against certain types of people in those races. Some races seem to have an abundance of those types of [unsavory] people I don’t care for. Being poor is no excuse for stealing. We should use individual standards rather than expect everyone to abide by the same one. Frankly, this is impossible to achieve. We have a lawsuited class system but we demand a level playing field when it comes to conduct. How many people in this country, people supposedly with intelligence and a proper education, could stop indulging in excesses, and stop making a life whereby they set themselves above others? Just because a certain lifestyle is legal and warranted acceptable, doesn’t mean that people who are weak when it comes to attempting to go against their own inclinations towards fulfilling that destiny. Weakness purveys all areas of our humanity. We just don’t see them as much or think about them as much in the areas of life deemed acceptable or normal by man’s own declarations! My brother for example, is one of those guys that thinks that everybody should go out and earn a living -that there is no free-lunch. I had to tell him that not everybody is the same. But if he had the issue some people had, it’s the old, “everything were equal…, you would do precisely the same thing”. People in their own ignorance fail to recognize, understand, have the compassion to realize these truths. GOD has to make all kinds of concessions for each and every one of us because of this fact of life. That is to say GOD who is all-knowing and supreme in HIS being.

This need to make GOD a female -tell me what that’s all about? This need to make GOD black – tell me what that’s all about?

The more individualistic we become in the extreme… “Oh that’s your God, that’s not my GOD!”

Tell me something, as we dive deeper within, do we become more alike or less alike? Let’s try this, are we more different on the outside and appearance than we are inside in our appearance? I think a lot of Americans have trouble distinguishing one Chinese from another, but Chinese don’t have this problem. Penguins don’t have this problem. They go by something more than appearance.

FACEBOOK “If you don’t keep going, the people behind you, [or] the people you deem below you, will eventually surpass you! This is often the case in relationships with one person growing and another person is not growing. They can’t help a but grow apart.” Which begs the question, “How can two people who are close -grow even closer?”

FACEBOOK “How do you stop liking something you like? Something bad for you.” 🤔

Tobacco Companies. Alcoholic beverage Companies…

FACEBOOK “When are those who are in charge, who cannot for example, relate to being bullied, start taking bullying more seriously! Isn’t that usually the case, people who can’t relate who are “in power” usually don’t act with a sense of urgency*! Once again, why did GOD make the world that way. Why can’t the people in charge be the one’s suffering -so they can act “with a greater sense of urgency”. Why can’t our politicians who are least at risk -be the ones most at risk -so they can act “with a greater sense of urgency!”” 🤷‍♂️

*For how many years were men in charge -numb to the plight of single women raising their children without financial support from the father?

In a relationship gone bad, someone usually starts to have thoughts that either create resentment or distance. That’s how it always worked with me. Hurt or resentment prompting us to look elsewhere. Sometimes it’s the other person’s fault. Sometimes we picked it the littlest of things ourselves. Sometimes we try to talk things through with our partners -and they are unsympathetic.

FACEBOOK “If you are unable to figure out what’s going on inside of someone; either ask them or think the best of them in your own ignorance of the facts. Even if a person tells us what’s going on inside of them; there’s a fair chance that they themselves don’t really know -and that they’re just guessing [especially with young people -I was young once].” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK ~BE AS LITTLE CHILDREN~ “How can we as adults who ourselves who were once children -not be able to relate to children?” Is it society that does this to us? The structure and/or system we live under? Have created for ourselves or accepted someone else’s ideas -ideas of what it should be by standing by and offering little or no input, or resistance? We as human beings are generally busy little beavers doing things. All-too-often however, these motivations stem from “self”. This tends to include both people have seemingly little impact on society or the World as a whole, as well as those that do! Can you or I refute the fact that changes seem to be leaving many of us feeling more-and-more left behind?”

My Generation! As we age, we find ourselves less and less the primary target of society and Corporate America. Unless of course, as it was pointed out to me recently, you happen to be a part of the baby boomer generation.

FACEBOOK “We spend an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening with the people we love and who presumably love us… Only to go out into the world for 8 or 10 or 12 or 14 hours surrounded by people we haven’t the least bit of love for at all -and vice versa [in many cases we even loathe one another]. Human-beings were not made to spend an inordinate amount of time under stress or pain nor an inordinate amount of time with lack of love in their surroundings*. That ought to be pretty evident in this day-and-age! Drugs, materialism, infidelity, sickness due to stress and poor diet and sleepless nights. Mental-illness! Depression! What the hell are we thinking???

*What a difference it would make if it were otherwise. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “Just keep pouring good into your relationships [ward off those demons which visit us regularly in our heads & in our 💕’s] -and you [and I] will maximize the good that comes out of it. That’s all we can do!” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “When we tell the truth in any given situation -we maximize GOD’S [the Univerese’s] effect in that situation as well as giving the people around us the best opportunity possible to make decisions for themselves and perhaps the relationship between us, when they know the right facts. Even if that means them walking away -then so be it! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Now people who have anger issues may be a different story -especially when we are weaker than, or simply more vulnerable to the people around us.”

FACEBOOK “When we lie, we set into motion… we unleash into the universe something most unnatural, something perhaps even most offensive! Unleash enough of it 🤔 and there’s bound to be some backlash eventually! And the worst is yet to come -if we continue on our present course? Man and satan are perhaps the only two entities in this universe that act against God’s perfect, principled, plan -everything else in it…” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

How do we know the universe isn’t alive! After all it has GOD in every molecule of it.

Relationships take on such a contrasting tone when they are happy, content, free from baggage or wreckage.

Every now and again when we make a mistake -things still work out. Every now and then when we make a mistake we discover that that’s precisely the right thing at that moment [given our own limitations regarding foresight & wisdom]. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Don’t just make a woman feel at home by respecting her wishes, impart to her some of your own values which may be somewhat higher than her own!

If we can’t stick to the plan -It’ll never work out!

FACEBOOK “People often think they know what’s best for themselves; or they just want want-they-want -only to have it endisappointingly or even tragically!” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Sit down with your partner and ask yourselves “what do we need to do to ensure stability and harmony in this relationship in future?”

If you’re already at a healthy place in your life, and your partner is sick, when they begin to get healthier you’ll be right there waiting for them. When you’re sick and your partner sick and one of you makes The Choice to get better while the other remains the same… 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

As it is in combat and fighting, so it is with love-stay as calm and relaxed and level headed as possible!

We have to get better first; Not last!

With Alcohol the relief was immediate, but the came the consequences for said transgression [thwarting/circumventing GOD’S natural process]. Or, we can do the work, deal with our condition, our discomfort with GOD’S comfort and aid, until he decides when the time is right to Grant us relief. And rather than their being consequences…

if a genius never studies, and an average student studies vigorously.. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

If we plant a garden we don’t want to grow; if we do everything requires to make life cone alive… And no matter how badly we want something, if we are unwilling to do “that which is necessary in order to make “it happen””…

Everything we do has a consequence or an effect. But man is generally preoccupied with only a few things in his narrow, selfish world, WE MISS SOOOO MUCH because we feel it is of no consequence, or use to us [we are soooo preoccupied with…]This last sentence went as quickly as it came… I begged GOD and said the “Our Father” and within seconds it returned. Often times this is not the case. Often times I do do not plead at this depth either! Again, thank you my GOD! This was a huge one!

*Oftentimes, we will not notice things either, things seemingly so small they elude us.

Think about it, if a little bud can push up through and Crack a piece of asphalt –what can man do?

If a one man can make a difference -imagine what we can all accomplish -United! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Thoughts generally weaken or strengthen!

There’s nothing small which has been created by GOD!

The problem with defining GOD IS -HE’S EVERYWHERE!!!!

The complexity of inventing a language.Let alone 200+ -are there that many geniuses evenly dispersed around the globe, throughout history? Or is it GOD?

Ask your partner “what are some of the things you have a problem with?”

Technologies that other species around the universe would find useful to their own survival and date A-day living.

It’s better that your girlfriend complained that you’re not giving her enough time than to be complaining that you’re smothering her..

Sooner or later we find out if something is real or not

There are certain things we should all probably do in order to maintain stability and a freedom from fear with regard to our relationships. What exactly those would be I have no idea lol

Thoughts generally strengthen or weaken. How we conduct ourselves in our relationships generally draws us closer to one another or push us further apart..I suppose the choices we make for ourselves as well….

Somebody usually becomes afraid of what they’re feeling in a new form relationship. If you can weather the storm and help your partner to calm those fears…. Love you comma’s fears by allowing them to realize or making them realize that their fears are unfounded with regard to you. I couldn’t do that with Ana.

Be grateful for everything God sends your way. Don’t just be grateful for 1 or 2 things because when they let you down your whole world comes crashing down.

From the very start to the very beginning relationships. Period from the very start to the very end relationships are constantly being affected. The very very early parts of them seem to be particularly fast and be affected it. And largely being affected.. A settling in period I suppose. People rush in begin to ease back… they may find themselves pulled ever closer or find themsells caught on the fence with based on different cues the other person is putting out.

If you don’t have the emotional chops or mental willness to correlate with the advice or guidance your counselor or psychologist is giving you… it’s just not gonna fare too well for you. That was me for so long

It’s not where you start out in a relationship but where are throughout the relationship and at the end of the relationship that determines whether it lasts. Unfortunately calm as so many people put so much emphasis on the beginning of the relationship and so far as whether or not there’s going to be a relationship or not.

GOD can do incredible things in our lives if we let HIM!

I’m not as empty and I’m not trying so desperately to escape my depression as in previous years. Gifts of healing and fulfillment!

Sometimes you get into something come sometimes God put something in our path… something indescribably wonderful.. But we’re barely able to make it work by the skin of our finger tips, And we do! Because GOD knows precisely our abilities.

It doesn’t matter to GOD whether we succeed as much as whether we try. In man’s world it’s all about results but it’s also so in GOD’S! Man is concerned with material results while GOD is concerned with spiritual ones! God will wait 50 years for a man to get it right. Often times man won’t wait 50 minutes! 😔

Satan must have said the road to h*** is paved with good intentions. Because God is all about good intentions! Things that matter from the heart ❤!

I remember some radio broadcasters taking pot shots at people like Bryan Adams -“pizza face”!

To give your all and ask for nothing-extraordinary! To give your all and ask for nothing-extraordinary!

[‘THAT’S IT -KEEP THEM COMING “LORD”] “We don’t really question science -DO WE? But when it comes to JESUS and HIS MESSAGE…!!!” 🙏🏻 FOR ME JESUS, THE GREATEST TEACHER OF ALL; THE GREATEST ORATOR OF ALL -THE THING THAT STANDS OUT MOST: IS THAT HE SPOKE “THE TRUTH WITH LOVE”! If you listen to HIS WORDS 🤔 One could easily conclude that this was NO ORDINARY MAN! The more something veers towards, or effects our own personal, choices, lifestyle, to include that of “the so-called “powers-that-be””, the more we want to “pick-it-apart”, even discredit it!”

You ever notice these channels on myths [designed to prove, or disprove -presumably] NEVER DO! They entertain, and make money [then it’s on to the next…]! Name one supposed myth proven or disproven? One Conspiracy-Theory* for that matter!

* All you have to do to discredit the truth when dealing with blind, indifferent, pompous people, and in many cases the well-meaning, is to collude it with a bunch of other possibilities, theories. And anytime someone attempts to bring clarify this tactic, what follows is “not a series of theories”, nut a direct attack on either their sanity, their character, or both! So d***** tired of these “games people play”! 🙄

“‘TRUTH” WITHOUT “LOVE” IS “CRUELTY” “TRUTH” WITH “LOVE ” IS “SALVATION”!” I was concerned that “damnation” would not fit. But having just researched it’s most basic, non-religious inference [intone]… It’s actually perfect! “‘TRUTH” WITHOUT “LOVE” IS “DAMNATION*“!” “”TRUTH” WITH “LOVE ” IS “SALVATION”!”

*Damnation –Noun Condemnation [when we use the truth without love, are we not basically judging, even condemning; –Exclamation Anger or frustration (don’t people respond in anger or frustration when judged, or condemned?) [Definitions from Oxford Languages].

“Faith without works is dead”. Then therefore, 🤔 what are works without Faith”? “Empty” of course! This was pointed out to me 🤔 some 25-28 years ago?

I have actually called people who are acting evil “evil”. I’ve done it I’m more than one occasion. The anger and violence in their response you would not believe! It was as if pulling the cover off of satan himself.

Human beings are definitely a medium. You can put all kinds of substances in them and get all kinds of different… Affect their spiritual condition by placing various loads upon them in the physical sense of any aspect of their being… separate them from GOD-source…. Except. And watch the various transformations taking place! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

When GOD’s not apart of it; It’s all wrong; It’s all F’d-up!

Women are too completely different beings when dealing with men they either loathe or are afraid of and men they admire and are deeply attracted to. What’s interesting as Jesus was the same with all people. From a certain vantage point, I think this is something we should all strive for -don’t you? This involves or includes men as well and they’re various…

Some women cherish their right to say “NO” almost as much as they hate being told “NO*”! 🤷‍♂️ [SCATHING? PERHAPS -BUT ALWAYS YHERE IS ATLEAST A GRAIN OF TRUTH].

* Just my personal experience [“no” is a highly emotionally-charged Noun, or whatever it happens to be -and women, being some of the most “emotionally-charged” of the species…] 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

I guess in prison you really have to learn how to watch your step in there! Whether you’re an inmate or a guard.

Give generously! Give graciously!!! Ask nothing in return! Demand nothing in return! And above all -DO NOT COMPLAIN! Can you just imagine Jesus complaining? Jesus being a Whiner? 🤣

“If you weren’t such a “bad-bad guy” -you’d probably make a “d*** fine good guy”. I’m intrigued by the ingenuity of some of these criminals who were simply “using GOD’S gifts” ‘the wrong way’.” 🤷‍♀️ 😋

Never play something broader or heavier than your foundation can support.

Serenity is a sign you’ve been strengthened while; Agitation or anxiety is a sign you’ve been weakened!

When you can’t remember something it’s because you lack power.

Once you’ve discovered the principle behind something… The possibilities are endless! The power gap between one level of understanding and another…

Refrain from making jokes on subjects you carry animosity or resentment or ill feelings towards.

Once a bug begins to penetrate into your mind and evenbully into your heart.. People who specialize in maintaining positive attitudes and the highest performance are very aware of these bugs.

After an overwhelming influx of GOD’S-Amazing-Grace, I contend [can tend] to get a little “cocky” – Then GOD comes along and puts me back in my place by pulling the chair out from under me ever so gently -or not [dependnding on the depth or degree of the transgression] 😏 😆

Some people can get away with some seemingly derogatory comments because the people close to them know they’re hard and know their intentions.

Sometimes I struggle in the face of this great gift in the form of insufficient humility and wisdom.

If you exercise but you don’t follow it up with eating properly…. A lot of that effort in the physical sense. The same could be said with regard to the other 2 in relation to each of the other 2. Not sure if that makes sense cause I’m trying to make lunch and I had really thought about it but.. Anything that could wink in or attack the spirit which is weakened is also a good thing though. Everything that… anything that strengthens the spirit is a good thing as well.

A spiritually unhealthy person has to force themselves to do a kind deed; whereas a spiritually healthy person has to force themselves not to.

“IT’S NOT ABOUT ME; IT’S ABOUT GOD!”

“”Who I am is GOD’S gift to me; What I make of myself is my gift to GOD!” One of the earliest spiritual philosophies I have ever been introduced to that I recall! I memorized it along with “If you love something set it free; if it comes back to you it’s yours, If it doesn’t it never was”.”

There are interviews of celebrities and stars and people in power regarding difficult even tragic circumstances or even triumphant ones.. Where you hear the same old thing over and over again. And then there are those moments where people really surprise you with a degree of spontaneity spontaneity and sincerity and depth that even knew yourself didn’t see it coming.

It’s a wonderful thing to be able to feel at a maximum level, in spite of the pain that often goes along with it!

If presumably you think about how rare emotions may in fact be in an intellectual being in the universe… Perhaps you would not take them for granted as much as you do and perhaps you would not be so inclined as to try and run away from them or drowned them out.

Even an idiot could learn something after 1,000 years. And God recognizes that if we had 1,000 years and would learn something he would take that into account on Judgement Day -Do ya think?

Making your partner feel small or insignificant

A punishing God? It’s easier for God to forgive us than it is for other people. It’s more likely the God will forgive us than other people.

Because of this plane we live on.. This earthly treacherous realm… If we couldn’t cut it in heaven how the h*** are we gonna cut it down here? If an alcoholic can’t cut it in Alcoholics Anonymous then how is he gonna cut it out in the real world? If you can’t refrain from taking the 1st drink how are you gonna refrain from taking the 2nd one after you’ve become compromised in your judgment due to the 1st 1?

There’s only one truth. But how interesting it is when 2 groups are wrestling with a singular issue calm and how each group looks at that issue and the facts surrounding the issue according to their own preferred outcome?The abortion issue. One person is against it and says that life begins from the very beginning and therefore it shouldn’t be killed. The other side States that life doesn’t start until so many weeks are months in to conception and therefore it is perfectly OK to kill it within that time frame. Now there’s only one truth here there’s not 2. But each side takes a position according to the agenda that it has. Or at least one side does at the very least.

Often times one person will be wrong or both people will be wrong.

A lot of marriages are like 2 whores trying to pick up on each other lol

Should my relationships not go according to plan at some point “May I suffer gracefully!”

If you have to write down the speech involving great sentiment. Just how sincere can it be?

The endless annoyance “of advertising”.

I can be extremely level headed when I put my mind to it and when I’m not trying to put the world off as I have done for the majority of my lifetime.

Mike Tyson says everyone has a plan until they get hit. For many people in intimate relationships nothing could be more true! How many of us go South when the relationship goes South? Infidelity, indifference, negativity, violence… Just stick to the plan until the end.

“Bless those we love and care about LORD! -and that should be everyone in the world!” 🙏🏻

“If there’s any ugliness in you somewhere, somehow -IT WILL EVENTUALLY COME OUT!”

Even though your life wasn’t such a happy one in childhood come you can always tell the stories in such a way that it’s not so grim-tell them to those who yearn to hear your story and you love and they love you most.

Somebody always uends up complaining 1st in a relationship. I refer to it as “somebody always flinches first”.

1) Eliminate what’s wrong!

2) Insert what’s right!

3) See what happens!

4) Identify what remains to be addressed thereafter!

People mistakenly began to come to the conclusion that getting married was a nurse around their neck which was creating a problem for their relationships. So what became commonplace with many people in recent years to skip that formality. That piece of paper isn’t the problem I can tell you that right now! Never was and never will be!But if you’re OK with thinking thinking or in all actuality performing better in a relationship without a formal commitment… just so you know that that piece of paper and that formal commitment are not the issue! Never have been and never will be! Except of course in matters where people rush into relationships and get married when God did not deem that the person for you. Or did not deem you as it being in your best interest to have a partner for life to begin with.We either go after what we think we can get it or what we think we deserve.

If your wife or child have been assaulted or molested, it is not the perpetrator that should be here first and foremost concern!

We either go after what we think we can get it or what we think we deserve! Of course there are always exceptions to this rule! 🤷‍♂️🤓

Speaking only for myself, before I started drinking, getting drunk was a most unnatural act. But after years of drinking, not being drunk was a most unnatural state. Funny how the body, the mind, of the soul…

Humble people say “that much!” Arrogant people say “Is that all?” Arrogant people say “That much?” Humble people say “That much!”

If you look at a blue ray disk and a blue ray machine or a remote control and a piece of technology or equipment…. Prior to modern day, no one would have ever fathomed something like that. What other matches await us out there that are truly incredible?

Be your self! Make good decisions! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

You got 2 choices in any given situation,: You can have your ego swell or…. You can just enjoy and appreciate it. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

I love famous and powerful people who are humble as h***! 🤷‍♂️

“WHAT GOD CAN DO!”

If we have the same attitude at work that many of us have in our relationships… If we approached math the way we approach our relationships… No wonder where so…. No wonder we failed so often…

“If people hurt you are you inclined to hurt back?” “I WAS!” 😔

One of the hardest things for people is to expose themselves and to self… To be critical of themselves and be active in doing so. What I mean is doing so seems to go against so many. It seems to go against bringing your best game in order to survive or to thrive. It’s like changing up your best known plan for something that might be better but less familiar in the middle of the Championship-game! Somebody who can do this is a wonderful model because most of us don’t really know what it looks like because most of us don’t really know what it looks like because most of us don’t run into people who do this!🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Centrifugal-force or something moving certain direction using gravity shift or a shift against gravity… When a car is making a turn at 90 agrees and there is something in the car….. Except the force of the weight of the item is pulled horizontally instead of vertically. And it is done so with a ascending or descending degree of force per the area of the object. I guess what I’m trying to say is that the item is being pulled or pushed in every part of its molecular structure. Whereas for example when we push something we’ve only got 2 hands on it say when we’re pushing the car out of the road. Antibiotics are a wonderful thing. But the natural defenses of the body are infiber of its being.[inertia?]

If you’re operating or leaning on a certain part of the brain then you lose out on what another part has been gifted with.

Most people who are prey to their issues or overpowered by their issues are weak and likely ignorant we’re lacking in wisdom or experience which could take decades to master them with. And power, power is always needed… Sometimes power is enough but having all the above is best. GOD’S Power and GOD’S insight!

We do it to get on board with God, to get in sync, to align ourselves with him and his being and his plan… Not because he needs our help. We don’t ask GOD… because HE doesn’t know… We ask to show humility and to pay reverence to and acknowledge HIS AWE and our minuteness and need! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Once you stop being sidetracked or distracted by… in key areas of your being… MAGICAL!

It’s hard for a lot of people to stay on that beam, but some people seem to do it effortlessly.

The people who have a natural disposition towards God-who are least resistant to God’s presence within them… Are both the happiest and most smoothest running as human beings as spiritual beings!

Some people can’t understand why a game is not just a game to some men. Think about it!

I had pride in my dna test. The results I mean. GOD detests pride! Now isn’t it interesting that little-by-little over the last 5 years those results have been teetering in a direction pounding my pride?

I’m in the top 3% in blood type and in intelligence. Coincidence?

When we talk about being resentful we’re not talking about the chair or the tire so much as people.

If there’s one thing I can’t stand it’s people who make light of tragedy especially in the hearing now when it’s occurring. I remember walking into a courtroom where people were chained up-and-down trodden and depressed and afraid and seeing these peodressed very sharply sitting in the chairs at the front of the judges chair and going on to his computer and sitting in his chair when he wasn’t there And joking with one another like this was some kind of a party rather than a place serving punishment.

Certain companies attitudes more and more is like why should we take a back seat, why should they have to say so or why should we respect them along these lines at the expense of our own profit margins? A lot of people in business aren’t interested in any longer and respect for the customer. Or even appreciation for the customer by playing the patch you’re the lackey or showing them any sort of reverence. Companies are becoming more and more about money and about being the ones in power and not being subservient. Companies are no longer not only willing to be subservient, but they’re not even willing to be equals in many cases. They want to have the upper hand financially, want?egotistically… What does any human being operating from the flesh want …???

Don’t make excuses, but when you’ve acted out of turn with someone [near-and-dear]… And you are positive that there’s a significant degree of misconception -that could hurt the relationship… By all means, speak up and clarify.

Don’t stack issues all at once to talk about. Do one; and then another at another time. 🤔 Choose one or the other.

“THINK!” 🤔

“If you can handle things with style; at least handle them with class!”

Well you’re busy cheering on your own team in the playoffs for example… think about the child with cancer or some other terminal illness who is on the other side cheering for their team. A child who could really use a boost at that point in their life! 👍

soap in shower

“insensitivity” I’m still on an adrenaline rush

It serves me well in my writing but not in my relating

Could have handled better with having intimacy and rushing off 4A warm moist wash cloth

Most of us lack considerable hunger for the truth about ourselves -for better or for worse!

Have you ever said to GOD “I am grateful for…”. If the answer is “a resounding “NO””, it could be a real slap in HIS Face! It is so important that we acknowledge each others efforts end place among us. Not the God himself requires anything. Anything other than the fact that he is great and that as with any relationship… Love and respect emanating outwardly towards one another… God loves and respects us always, but not because he is beneath us or even our equal as is the case among one another down here…

Rather than struggle with relationships these days, far too many of us tucktail and turn. I guess another way of putting it is we just blow each other off if we don’t have to deal with one another. That seems to be the arrogant and rather insensitive way of doing things nowadays. I know there’s a lot of people that have blown me off in the past. They’re not sitting there giving careful thought to how the two of us can connect. And in response to this many will come up with a million reasons for why it is justified -BUT REALLY????

If you’re tired your tired, and until you find the underlying reasons… rest is generally the go too. Let me restate that, “if you’re tired you’re tired”. 🤷‍♂️ And if we don’t eventually address that -we won’t be any good to anyone.

People who make light of everything eventually grow as annoying [and tiresome] as people who “whine and complain about everything”!

Instead of insinuating a person is beneath you by complaining about them as you have often done, try insituating a person is actually a true blessing you are perhaps unworthy of. “ATTITUDE”

Man addresses the issues in his world that either popularize him; that doesn’t cost him too much expense or face; or simply on a whim of his choice. Tackling the real issues in life usually runs counter to all of these above areas man is motivated by or affected by.

Every time a star in the making emerges from a football team for example who is having a stellar season… They split! They will go to a lesser team for more money rather than stay with a better team for less money and win. Don’t give me that c*** about needing to take care of your children. If you’re making millions a dollars they’re taking care of trust me. That’s the game though come how much is enough… what if this happens…

People who stock my pile money have little faith in GOD taking care of them day-to-day.

People on SSI are limited to how much resources they can reserve. Some years ago, the government kept talking about shutting down and putting a stop to social security checks as a first measure rather than putting a stop to people who already are well off being paid in the corporate sector. Why wouldn’t people be stockpiling if they were being threatened with not getting their check numerous times in the span of a year or a year and a 1/2?

Some people just don’t know how to say no [thank you]. They will take whatever you offer them.

80 years ago sports athletes would have paid good money to be out there playing the game. Now they’re out there b******* and threatening not to play because they’re not getting there 20 million that’s so-and-so got! That is not a good sign of The Times!

It’s amazing how different some people’s voices are when speaking versus singing. It’s also amazing how their accent can disappear.

Surround yourself with people who wouldn’t cheat with you on your wife or husband. Someone who helps you to be a better person. Or at the very least, someone will who be there to catch you just in case you have the inkling to fall.

There will never be another 1st for the 2 of you getting to know each other. So take your time and cherish it and take it it all in!

“GOOD ADVICE!” Should always be welcome!

God gives me these key words with nothing else attached to them. I’m guessing they’re just these cornerstones of language that speak to the heart and soul of mankind as well as his endeavors? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Intelligence IQ versus decision making IQ

Some women detest a man who looks better than they do!

Not everyone touches us -but should we care any less for them than the others who do!? It can be hard to love everyone equally – But the more it comes from the inside rather than the outside, the easier, the more possible it becomes.

Oftentimes, one man can reach another man where or when GOD can’t -or GOD uses that other man to reach him. TYTYTY 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sometimes we want to prepare the people around us for something inside of us that may never come. And if this becomes a habit… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Worry about the rest of the world or don’t worry about the rest of the worldz but just keep on putting out as much light as you can through it all! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Whether they are or not we often see our new relationships is perfect-and we don’t want that to end exclamation pobut in most cases eventually the reality will set in. There’s nothing wrong with that though. Little piece of advice : It’s not perfection we should be looking for in the relationship; but perfection within ourselves we should be striving for!

It’s better to say too little than to say too much!

Conservation of energy.

Being too kind beats being too unkind any day!

Sometimes a short memory is the best thing in the world!

Some people don’t have an aggressive bone in their body. Some people can’t relate to that. Some people even disagree with it.

White lion, when the children cry, heaven isn’t too far away, Frank in the knockouts… Don’t forget me when I’m gone. Poison, motley Crue going home. Frankie goes to Hollywood. Atlanta rhythm section and firefall.

When we’re kids we want to be adults; when we’re adults who want to be kids; when we’re old we want to be young!

When were young we have the time and the energy but not the money. When we’re middle aged we have the money and the energy but not the time. When we’re also we have the time and the money but not the energy.

You definitely want to be a victim and not the perpetrator in certain situations!

Immature or selfish [self-centered] or arrogant or fearful.

All those women I pushed away or turned off… I’m beginning to think that wasn’t such a bad plan after all for their sake. When women meet a man they really like and things either don’t go well or there simply is no opportunity… That man lingers in a woman’s heart or can linger in a woman’s heart for a very long time thereafter.

The more upkeep we perform on a car including scheduled maintenance and preventative maintenance… The more likely it will function as it was intended and the more likely it will not break down unexpectedly. Same thing without human beings. But how many of us ever really treat our cars that way let alone ourselves?

The things certain men are able to do to a woman emotionally…. And then have not the slightest idea or care in the world for following through afterwards.

You going from A to Z inside rather than going from a-z outside is the most incredible journey or Rush of all!

“We’re being constantly bombarded by other men’s “new ideas”!” F/T!!! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

There’s almost always one choice of play on the court that is a winner.. Usually when you pick 1 of 2 teams, one you have a better chance of beating the other regardless of the spread or prediction. Picking that team is key. Picking the right team for that day is key. Not that you have a choice but…

FACEBOOK GOD: “Since there is no normal [anymore], let’s just run around being whatever it is we happen to be [that day]! THIS IS ALL WRONG! It’s a ploy designed for all of us to become more and more delusional and dissillusional and lost! What’s normal is what GOD teaches us! Honestly, how many of you would have a problem with teaching your children about love and accountability and kindness and thoughtfulness towards their own children? To be responsible and practical in the highest form possible? To respect your partners and your children on the highest levels! This is what normal is! And there are many more principles!”* 🙏🏻💕

GF: “I love it Babe”

Me: “GOD knows what HE’S talking about Hun! What HE MUST accomplish at this point in time -TURNING US BACK, TURNING US AWAY FROM OUR PRESENT COURSE!” 🤷‍♂️

* “Seems like a “no-brainer” you say? Well how many of us are drifting further and further away from these ideals as we speak?” 😔

FACEBOOK “OK -At some point in our lives “the adult” which is the prevailing entity throughout our lives… Speaking in terms of time in the lifespan; Must become stronger than “the child” and “the parent”! The child is inexperienced, and therefore reckless; and the parent is prone to being ‘overly sympathetic and loving’ towards the child.”*

* This is where Fathers [often] become such a vital component in their child’s development.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆”Innocence” of sex or without it Sex has been such a troublesome and prevailing theme in my life! Have to get the animosity on the fire out of the way if you are going to be one of those people that is a hub or an intricate part of other people’s lives.

FACEBOOK “It has been stated that since the “Advent of Television”, America would never again accept a President in a wheelchair. “I WOULD!” I would accept a donkey, [or an elephant lol], a quadriplegic or even a septupleplegic! IF ONLY THEY COULD [WOULD (<-notice not reversed “would/could”)] DO THE JOB! 👍A huge part of the problem in this country is that we are separated into factions; and we have too little love for our fellow man as a-whole! And these factions by numerous means attempt to manipulate (the truth, the facts to their own ends) by bribe or by threat the power of the office of P.O.T.U.S! It’s enough!!!!!!!!!!! After 248 years 🤔 don’t you think that we would have learned how to work together as one country under one party; rather than two parties being torn apart [by a third?] more and more as time goes on????? GEEEEEZ!!!!!!!!”* 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

* Instead of becoming wiser and more mature as time and experience “could and should dictate”; we are becoming dumber and more childish in-so-far-as the political arena is concerned!** 😟

** I suppose that in order to move in a particular direction [or “to move away from…”] 🤔 one must first become “dumber and more immature”! 👍

“””””WORDS””””” 👍👍👍👍👍

Animosity, take the bite out of…; some people are a blessing and a gift and it’s up to us to rise up to the status of… and not to pretend Has it so often the case with ignorance of self and ego, that they’re not good enough for us because something inside of “us” isn’t quite right!

America once epitomized fear of GOD and the highest values. People looked up to us and paid attention. This country seems to be taking the world in a different direction!

What’s the difference between the truth and a fact?

Women who fall from men’s b******* and suckers who fall for the con artist BS and the average American citizen who falls for the politicians rhetoric…. Are we not at fault 2? Are we not acting according to our own agendas? Think about the guy who’s trying to sell you a gold watch for $50 how hes looking at you thinking here I am homeless and hustling on the street and this guy wants to give me $50 for a $500 watch? Shame on him! But anyways think about it, in every one of these situations, we are making ourselves vulnerable because we want something for nothing.

Is it a win if you lose 3000 men to take a hill guarded by 300 men?

FACEBOOK “I don’t know much about relationships, but this much I do know; you better come with your own supplies and get rid of any excess luggage lol Relationships don’t work too well when we try to live off of someone else’s supplies [physical, emotional, psychologica, spiritual]; And they really start going downhill when we begin to demand our [fare lol] fair share of their own. It’s best not to rely too much on the other person nor to spend too much time focusing on what they’re doing and what they’re not doing. For some of you out there this may seem a little strange. It certainly hasn’t been my idea of a relationship for the longest time. But one thing I can’t argue is the fact that -this seems to work better/best!” 🤔🤷‍♂️

You don’t have to worry about something you don’t want to happen if it’s not God’s will -because it aint going to happen! 🤷‍♂️ You don’t have to worry about something not happening you want to happen if it’s God’s will -because it’s going to happen! 🤷‍♂️

My aunt told me years ago that God only has 3 answers: yes, no, later. It’s always best to ask for things from God hes inclined to say yes to! That is if you don’t like hearing no or later lol

You don’t have to “officialize” everything!

The thing about beautiful relationships, will there be relationships between men and between men and men, friendships between women and women… any sort of relationship.. It’s 1st and foremost that there is a love that exists within each of these individuals emanating outward towards one another. That and respect! Not necessarily the kind that is earned but the kind that comes from within our own humanity emanating outward towards humanity!

The world would be 90% better if one word and 1 word or principle alone was abided by: “R.E.S.P.E.C.T.”

Animosity in relationships…

The most interesting buffoon in the world?

There are high concussion explosions and there are low concussion explosions. I think they found this app testing for the atomic bomb. They certainly utilized it. Same holds true with regard to…

FACEBOOK “Several things helped me immensely in reshaping my attitudes and beliefs. “Better to believe there is a GOD and discover there isn’t one; then to disbelieve in GOD; and discover there is one.” “GOD’S not responsible for all the problems in the world, man is! I’m mean even if GOD did wave his “magic-wand” and made all the troubles of the world go away… We would only end up right back where we started -because man’s heart would not have changed one bit! “How do you know GOD isn’t sending help to his people -and satan, or man himself isn’t interfering, or taking those blessings?” “I’m not responsible for what other people are I’m only responsible for what I am!””

Being smart or savvy gets you one thing. Being intelligent gets you another thing. Being wise gets you another thing. Being spiritually fit gets you another thing still. And being dumb gets you something even stiller!

Think about it calm or every time you refrain from picking up a cigarette or from eating a most unhealthy meal… we’re going out for a night on the town and getting drunk.. We’re taking those pills… God doesn’t know the difference between a person taking medication prescribed by a doctor and medication being taken abusive way to block out god’s wondrous Universe with all its consequences… the point is that we are not inhibited spiritually when we take medication -That has been properly prescribed by a physician versus medication we are abusing.

When I decided to get on antique a presence God told me that if I was not working my program to the best of my ability, taking any kind of medication was [legalized) using all over again!

How many times have I seen players in professional sports watching in awe rather than doing their job. I used to see this with defensive players and Michael Jordan all the time. It’s like they also wanted to see the play reach its fruition by Michael lol

I should have bet that horse back in 2000… I would have but we were out about all that long me and my brother.
