It’s always raining somewhere in the world. And it’s always not raining somewhere in the world. Patterns!

If you live a clean life most of your life, mama chances are by the time you get to around 60 years old come barring any genetic dispositions to the contrary, you may find yourself in pretty good shape and ready to go another 20 or 30 years. But it isn’t all about that! One must think about The Times they are heading into. Looking at the direction the world and this country have been going in drip by drip, day-by-day, I almost wish… I can’t even say it 😔

If you live through World War II as a teenager or younger, you’ve probably enjoyed the greatest years this country has had to offer. The consummation of Christian morals, the industrial age at its peak, people still more or less trusting and friendly towards one another, barring a few hiccups… The 70s, 80s, 90s too? But now…:

1)The industrial age is finally caught up with us; We’re obviously destroying this planet [weather change];

2) Many a man feels that there brand of morals is better than GOD’S; GOD’S dissapointnent is starting to show [biological threats from man, nature];

3) At least in this country we act like we no longer need each other, we no longer trust each other [we fill those emotional voids with all sorts of addictions, and materialism];

4) And we’ve gone from an attitude in this country of being willing to give our own lives before we give up our freedoms, to giving up our freedoms rather than give up our own lives. MY MY HOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED! We couldn’t keep with what was working. No matter what, there are always gonna be things wrong even in the best of times calm even in the best of moments. What’s happening in this country reminds me of the alcoholic in recovery who took a drink because his daughter got sick but she got better and he remained drunk because he could no longer stop. Sometimes you just have to write things out. And when trying to fix what’s broken, you never fix what’s working, only what’s not working. I PREDICT WE HAVE SOME EVEN HARDER LESSONS COMING VERY SOON! People in Hollywood for instance keep pushing the gay thing in commercials and movies in direct violation of GOD’S teaching. No regard whatsoever for impressionable children. And for whatever reason we continue pumping pollution into the atmosphere which we already know by now is destroying it rather than shutting down cars and factories -tell me what good all these things are if we don’t have a planet to support life anymore? Don’t you even care about your own generations to come, what kind of a future if any, they’re going to have? 😔

The right amount, or kind of vengeance. Depending on who you love the most, yourself, or your children[?], place either them, or yourself in the position of the person your wanting vengeance towards, and “let her rip” -now determine the type of vengeance you would exact! “MERCY”? OH, OK! Jesus also says the proper way of judging others is to first look at ourselves, and then… Quite the opposite of how MOST OF US typically…

Even when you think you’ve done everything right, there’s no guarantee how people are going to respond!

1)What you focus on you give power to;

2)The bitch about having to work a [12-step] program is living in a world that doesn’t have one;

3)Forgive yourself;

4)Don’t have expectations of others;

5)Look for what you can contribute to life, not what you can take away from it.

HAPPY 32 YEARS RICK! 🙏🏻💙

Humanity is a lot like the world. Some prefer land. Don’t prefer the sea. Some seem to go from one to the other. Some don’t seem to know what they prefer. Some people can’t seem to stay where they prefer. Some people constantly find themselves those were they don’t prefer. And some people seem very capable of of finding themselves where they prefer.

It’s hard for some of us people to navigate through things that don’t make sense. Often times people don’t make sense.

I’ve been reading about the life of Jesus almost every day for the past 9 years. Having that kind of consistency and stability in the forefront of your mind in an ever changing world that seems to be in decline, what does that do to a person? What is the duduo person to never really be able to yeah able to see the world as normal like so many other people seem to?

“FREEDOM” should be first and foremost on every body’s mind!

When there’s something not right with someone, one should expect that invariably that person is bound to do some things wrong! 🤷‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m guessing 🤔 things go a lot easier/better in life for the people who know where to direct their attentions and where not to. I’m not one of those people 😒

What is one of man’s greatest weaknesses? Hint: They use it to exploit us all the time on television, the movies, and commercials.

There’s something about everybody whether they know or not. There’s always a way to emphasize it or accentuate it of trigger it…

I have a fixation, and I have a complex!

You know I think back on how I was when I was younger, and I think how stupid I was. Without the lack of proper guidance playing such a role in all that. Bad advice! Bad examples!

No matter what kind of movie you’re watching these days come with each other turn it into a freaking love story, sexcapade…

A lot of women like it when it just kind of happens with a man; and alot of us men ain’t so good at that. WHATEVER “THAT” IS -GENUINE SPONATANEITY? NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING? NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING? I guess something like that just comes kind of natural to some men-but not most of us probably -especially when you’ve looked into the abyss 🤷‍♂️

DOES ANYONE BESIDE ME SEE HOW THE POWERS THAT BE IN THIS COUNTRY KEEP DRAWING LONES IN THE SAND AND THEN STEPPING OVER THEM, THEN REDRAWING ANOTHER LINE AND STEPPING OVER THAT ONE MORALLY [I.E. IN MOVIES…], AND WITH REGARDD TO OUR HUMAN RIGHTS TO…

Most of us have urges we struggle to resist -but many of us seem to differentiate between the sea the seemingly innocent ones and those which result in great harm. The result may vary but does the urge itself? You, as a diabetes [on the verge of destroying your kidneys -possibly resulting in your own death] struggle to resist eating a pound of chocolate. You can go for days, weeks, months until one day… So in so far as the urge itself goes, your weakness goes, what’s the difference betwee a rapist, a child molester, a serial killer?

The issue is the issue, the issue is there is an issue, not whether that advantage works tfor or against your advantage personally. 🤷‍♂️

When you’re attracted physically but unattractive emotionally, what is one to do?

Address the issue and the symptom no longer exists. I have symptoms:

1)Victimization

2)Loneliness/Abandonment

3)Ego

4)Sensuality

5)A dislike of people

6)An abnormal or need for people

7)And of course fear

THE COMBINATION OF ALL THESE ALONE IN SIGNIFICANT DEGREES IS ENOUGH TO RESULT IN A “PERSONALITY DISORDER”.

For some people, there are few things more exhilarating to the ego, to the body, even to the mind then that of “BEING DESIRED”. It seems to hit on numerous levels.

What comes out of my mouth tends to be based upon what I’m feeling inside. A sherbert of sorts. I don’t know if that’s the same with everyone. I don’t know if it’s about concealing or sensoring or filtering or simply that many people tend to lean towards a particular emotion over the others.

What happens when we ourselves push ourselves beyond our limits? How can one push themselves beyond their limits if that’s their limit? I remember early in my recovery recovery shouting to GOD to take this away or to reveal that to me….

If you’re looking for unconditional love out here in the world, you’re probably gonna be disappointed. That’s what I’ve been looking for, or something close to it most of my life – When you are at a disadvantage, conditional love conditional love doesn’t seem to work too well on the receiving end. Some disadvantaged people find themselves looking for a break that never comes.

Smile Rick-the problems you have can be fixed! THAT’S VERY TRUE!

“What’s wrong with those people?” “Same thing that’s wrong with you and me most likely”.

When someone shows improvement in one area but not in another, one should actually recognize the improvement over the other so as not to discourage -this is GOD’S WAY! But not necessarily man’s.
