Sometimes what you lose is more important than what you gain. Sometimes losing is more important than winning.

Just people being people 🙄

Embrace all outcomes!

It’s WHAT happens, not what happened [see above].

Agree with it or not, my personal opinion from what I’ve read of The Bible and other sources, is that we’re here to help one another not judge 1 another. And just shows you don’t think I’m speaking down to you or others, I have a struggle with if this principle. Helping people you don’t necessarily like? Not not judging people when you have been judged by people most of your life? It’s a struggle for me. Just because I write all this stuff on this website doesn’t mean that I perform them or even perform them perfectly. I have feet of clay just like the rest of humanity -given my track record, more so than most 🤷‍♂️

To remain peaceful and calm in the face of calamity! A sign of spiritual enrichment. Faith.

Among other things, a parents duties and responsibilities consist of guidance, providing for, keeping order, showing love. By example!

I float all over the place mentally and in other ways. My personality seems to free float from here to there. It makes it difficult for me to perform or to be. Which makes it difficult for me to focus on anyone endeavor or to have a career or a relationship. It’s very odd, all this power I’m all this power and I’m continually neutralized. Flailing about. It’s as if I have so much at my avail I can’t decide on any particular thing.

If you have it to pass on to the next generation and you don’t come what are the chances that the next generation is going to pass it on to the next generation?

Some people’s behavior and mood changes when they’re in the vicinity of others and some people’s doesn’t.

The nation that is not United is no nation at all. A nation that doesn’t trust one another is no nation at all. How are we then any different from a nation that doesn’t trust anoher nation?

If life is fair then what need for spiritual principles do we have in many instances?

If we have to resort to manipulating others to get what we want or need, we’re better off without it.

It’s not the home that needs to be perfect it’s the people who dwell in it who must strive to be.

Natural, clean healthy foods diigest better, make us feel better and give us more energy.

A lot of times we think about doing something and we don’t. Like for example, I’m having an issue with somebody on eBay. I was wondering if this guy was gonna come down from Washington and shoot me for not paying for the item. The item remains on my purchase history strangely enough it’s been strangely enough. You would think the individual would have removed it and I’ve removed it and moved on calm and put it back out for sale… this morning while I was in the kitchen somebody banged on my back door and went awand went away. It made me wonder.. Love you we don’t know take things like this because we think they’re so far fetched , and then when they happen…. Those around us have no clue what happened or what may have happened. Think about it.

When I lived there I couldn’t enjoy it. Now that I can enjoy it I can’t live there.

People can go their whole lives and never see their part in something. We can (only?) go for so long believing our own lies.

Most of my life I’ve made things harder than they should have been 🤷‍♂️ until perhaps recently.

How do you know whether to believe something or not when you know the answer from the authorities is gonna be the same (denial) whether it happens to be true or false? The navy for example, regarding allegations of this Philadelphia experiment in 1943. They deny it, but wouldn’t they do the same thing if it were true?

What happens when man no longer needs to act in order to survive -He has mastered that challenge? He needs to create something. To feel useful, to have value, to be stimulated, to have power. An increasing proportion of what we see going on in the 1st world country is man’s efforts in light of having surpassed your past is basic need to survive. And yet his fellow man still goes hungry even though he himself has more than enough to put an end to this disparity between themselves and those around.

Looking at things the wrong way is almost always at the heart of… God desperately works to get us to see things the right way -so what do you think satan’s ploy is? How many of our mistakes and how much of our pain is due to seeing things the wrong way? How many of our disagreements with our fellow human beings?

On muscle growth, take your time -you’ll get there! 💪🏿 Consistency over time will get you there safely.

It used to be that you could go out and cut wood, trap beaver, Pan for gold… you’re only limitation with nature. And if you needed it to be your only friend it was there for you and you could still make a living out of her instead of relying on man. Those things seem to be falling by the wayside. We seem to be forced into relying on other people more and more.

In Sunday school the question was opposed to the class, can God make a rocky cannot lift?

The question that comes to mind thus is can man create a lock he cannot pick or break into? The obvious question is why would he want to? I’m talking about a lock that no one can get into.

When I got sober I should have turned my back on the world and stood by my grandmother instead of the other way around. I left her alone and the world has left me alone.

We’re often get living and loving confused. People are often looking for a loving relationship where there’s a lot of living going on. I mean excitement, adventure, stimulation… Is that a good reason for loving someone? For marrying them?? For being partnered with them? Ask yourself!

If you look at Adam-and-Eve, mama the very same transgressions have been repeated over and over and over. One of their principal sins, knowledge that only God should have. Therefore, they wanted to be more godlike.. So is it so surprising that man is moving towards a man made world where he is God? Is it surprising that many of us refuse to rely on God, but rather on ourselves and each other. One big happy family, one big happy family of happy family of man void of God. I mean who needs God, HE can’t relate to us, we can’t relate to HIM… Imperfect as we are, at least we can relate to each other -even if we don’t care much for each other at times. Isn’t that the increasing attitude of people today? Look at our actions.

Why do we turn to people instead of God?

•People seem more real

•Seem to care more

•Buy into our BS

•They are often willing to give us what we want (what they want), just not always what we need.

•Comfort us when it’s not wise to do so.

But…

•God has unlimited resources, people don’t.

•People quite often operate from fear of: never having enough; being harmed; taken advantage of… God fears nothing and is therefore remains unmoved!

•God loves us so much, and is stable and consistent in HIS ACTIONS to such an extent WE DON’T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF HIM. When a parent refuses to bail out a child -the comeback is often “you don’t care about me” manipulation.

Sidenote: The (late fifties) sixties generation that rebelled against the forties generation, and the thirties generation, and the twenties generation… Presumably because of all the pie in the sky portrayals of American life. All the dirty little secrets hidden behind closed doors… I’m looking at a commercial and I don’t see much difference between then and now, if that’s the case. You think people are more real now than they were 80, 90, 100 years ago? You think people are more open about their dirty laundry these days? That is from a humble perspective?

Thank You Lord for what I have and for what I don’t! 🙏🏻

If you can’t be happy without a bunch of stuff y-ou probably won’t be happy (even) with a bunch of stuff.🤷‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

After a full 2 weeks on eBay looking for the deal of a lifetime on a camera coma at least a decent deal that’s a you’ll that’s affordable to me and make sense, it’s, I ended this stretch by doing a “buy it now” on a scam. Well, the camera is in Selo Kilmez, Russia. Day over there is night over here. I thought about staying up just in case an offer finally came though though the seller didn’t seem particularly particularly open a responsive to my requests for an offer. I remember looking at the time around 10:20 PM, shutting off the TV and going to bed. Sometime after I went to bed I received an offer of a $150 discount. I woke up at 12:13 AM and checked my phone and spotted the offer in my email. When I opened up the eBay website to accept the offer it said the item had already been taken. Along with the offer was a message saying here is your offer you have requested and I hope you enjoy and find the camera a delight. Somebody else took advantage of the purchase at 11:44. Initially I was unhappy, even depressed. But then I got to thinking about calling eBay and noting my disappointment (old behavior). Then the principles kicked in, the ones I’ve been touting on this website for several months:

•People simply doing what people do [man is an opportunistic creature] often with little regard for, or at the expense of their fellows

•Don’t look for human sympathy

•Be happy for others by practicing what you preach

•Be thankful to the individual who gave an even greater discount ($150) in an already awsum deal @ $1950 for a a7r iii in almost new condition 4390 shots only. + the FE 4/24-105 OSS lens valued @ $1398 on b&h. Offer $1800.

•Be thankful to God for what HE has given you and what HE hasn’t given you. For everything there is a reason. And every reason can be put to good turn.

•Be grateful to yourself for working so hard on a deal, and perhaps someone in greater need will be able to benefit from.

And there you have it!
