Anyone on this planet who insists on having it all will eventually end up with nothing. You can’t have it all here on 🌎 It’s one of the laws

For many years in my relationships it was all or nothing. My way or the highway. Back pay for years of…. And in every case it always ended up nothing rather than all. 🤷‍♂️

God in – the 🌎 out!

I must decrease – so the He may increase!

Remember, it’s no sin to be subjected to something (against your will)!

Things in the world we think are perfectly harmless, even desirable… They really are the things that nightmares are made of.*

*Nightmare: Anything that prevents us from reaching our full God-given potential.

To call this project “SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE” some time back (3-4-5-6… years ago)

I can’t exactly remember this thought from many years ago – So if it comes out somewhat strange… it may not be the exact thought I was thinking of -I mean this occurred to me a very long time ago. But I’ll take a stab at it any ways. If you see a young girl… The idea of you as a young boy with that young girl…? Is that twisted? I don’t remember if this was the idea that I had many years ago but it was something -and I’m grasping for it. It’s probably not it -but something in that neighborhood… Currently, I don’t have the power to grasp the original concept, but I will leave this one as it is as a reminder hopefully….. It will come to me later…

ok I remember… I had an incident with a young girl when I was 13 and she was 12… I’m not sure what to think of reminiscing about that particular incident as an adult 🤷‍♂️ Afterall, it is a memory* THANK YOU LORD 🤷‍♂️

*It was some 20 or 25 years ago I found myself recollecting the incident is all -nothing really happened between us but I found myself wishing something had (mixed feelings)** – for one thing, it may have altered the course of future events. 🤷‍♂️

APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS LATER

**Things are coming to me more and more moment by moment and now thoughts from that recollection some 20-25 years are coming back to me now. What just occurred to me a moment ago was that at that time (I mean as an adult recollecting…), it was probably during the time I was working the 12 steps with my sponsor Granville-my sexual inventory. I was actually glad nothing happened because the poor girl was probably being sexually molested at that time by either her father, or her brothers, or both. For my part, it was probably a God thing….That evening we were at the drive-in theater with some other family, did some fondling in the back seat… When we got home, she came into the bedroom where I was sleeping, and I shooed her out. That was definitely my grandmother talking lol Anyways, what is the point of this post -not exactly sure. Maybe God will reveal it to me later. Thanks for letting me bramble -I guess this one was for me!***

***Bottom-line: This is not an isolated incident for young adolescent children. A lot of things can go very wrong with something like this:

•The niece of my dad’s common-law wife (essentially my step-mom)

•Pregnancy

•STD

•Strife between both families -Stepmom caught in the middle along with my baby brother…

I’m so glad God intervened -God; that was the point of this post!

What is it with these commercials where people simply use a spray or a plug-in to neutralize odors? Back in my day if there was a stench, you busted out with the cleaning supplies and cleaned it up, or shampooed it.

And what’s with these new cleaning supplies that don’t seem any different than the ones we’ve had for years?

And what’s with the word “stench” on TV in a commercial? You don’t use words like that!!!

You can take an invention from one place and Set up shop in another where nobody has ever heard of it before -and it’s like “you’re a genius”.

And what’s with the soft surface blah blah blah -and flushing the toilet? I flush my toilet all the ⏲, and my bathroom smells just fine -geeez 🤷‍♂️

We as Americans are not simply happy with what works. No there’s something else looming large in all of this:

•The system requires more and more money-cash flow

•Americans require the “next thing” to satisfy their restlessness, irritability, and discontentedness. What a fortunate coincidence. A perfect scenario to meet each other’s needs.

We’re not real keen on prevention in this country.*

We’re not real keen on practices the Japanese tried to instill in the work-place back in the seventies.

*Besides common men have a tendency to learn after the fact not before…. Not sure if it’s inherent dull-wittedness… or more of a matter of selfishness, or perhaps laziness (or both 😄): 🤷‍♂️

°I got better things to worry about

•Why bother -if it hasn’t gone wrong yet 🤷‍♂️

•Why bother projecting -afterall, I got my 🍽 (plate) full now as it is🤷‍♂️

I once heard that if you’re fortunate enough do something you love and -do it well (make a living) you’re a lucky man.

If you feel something brushing against you… Let me start over. Have you ever felt something brushing against you and there’s nothing there? It’s probably God, or an angel touching you -why not? 😇

A lot of women can get a man -but they can’t keep a man. Men have needs and wants as well.
