In the final analysis, WE ARE THE ONES WHO SUBVERT GOD’S ORIGINAL DESIGN OF MAN, and thus WE determine, we are the purveyors of God’s likens, or satan’s like -loosed on the earth!

“What you bind on earth -shall be bound in Heaven. What you loose on earth -shall be loosed in Heaven!”

Some people learn from the inside out -some people from the outside in.

Jesus was, and always will be, the gold standard. We should:

•Seek to emulate His actions among the 🌎 ;

•Seek to provoke those very same attitudes and responses from the 🌎 He did;

•Seek to recreate those very same results in the 🌍 He did;

Not everyone who gets into a questionable situation has questionable motives.

There’s 2 ways to get under people’s skin:

•Be less than

•Be more than

We all have gifts and talents afforded to us by our Creator. What determines which people in a society are are most successful and least successful are the talents and gifts determined by that society to have the highest and lowest values. For example in America, entertainment, engineering, medical are all considered among the top… whereas janitor, laborer, fast-food… are among the lowest…

To make money you have to go where the money is.

Where there is a large number of people there tends to be little money. Where there is an elite number of people there tends to be a lot of money.

What makes a man say something stupid to another man? 🤔

What does it mean when a man, some 25 years after his father passing -find himself asking the question “Why did you have to follow us -we would have been better off without you!? 😏

Rememba when Rocky got shot late in life, took it -and won? A shot at being somebody (other than just anotha losa from the neighborhood)? Well, these writings are my shot -late in life! A chance to maybe make a difference 🤷‍♂️ Not for fame, not for glory, not for money -perhaps just a chance to right a few wrongs and -in the end, walk away with a little dignity (for myself, for my folks -just to let them know they didn’t fail entirely; their life wasn’t a complete waste) JUST LIKE ROCK!

My father and mother gave me a lesson by showing me the true face of addiction -I can never forget or fully repay.

My grandmother taught me to turn to God and all things – In good times and in bad.

These people I attribute my success success in my recovery where so many others have fallen off.

When a person makes an error in judgment legally-they punish us.

When a person makes an error in judgment financially-they bleed us.

Just because you came up through the long, hard road, doesn’t doesn’t give you the excuse of being unsympathetic, unempathetic towards others.

Seeing yourself in others can be quite disturbing! Seeing others act as you once acted can be quite disturbing. I vaguely remember walking into a bar called popcorn for the 1st time after some month sober… Needless to say, it was quite an experience; quite an eye opener.
