The who of man



Behind this helm of life I stand,
Holding fast, to Stay the course.
Resting in this awesome fact,

Whether seas be calm or rough ,
I WILL GO THROUGH with no remorse
to peace ln harbors bluff



Think of rough times as an exercise in;
PERSEVERANCE and CHARACTER

This is the WHO of man.

James 1,2-3

Go Back

We are all on a journey through the sea of life,
you will bask in the Sun
in one moment
and be shattered on the rocks
the next,
what makes you a man
is what you do
when that storm comes.
You must look into the face
of that storm and yell
at the top of your voice.
I know the hand that created you
and His hand protects me
so bring it on.
I will go through
as his hand covers me.
Old Proverb: In this world
you will have tribulations
but fear not for He has overcome the world.

Remember this life is only
the journey preparing
for greater things.
Don't look back with remorse,
wishing you had taken
a better path,
you are wiser and stronger
because of your mistakes.

You are the one who can truly point to the right path for those who follow.

YOU ARE ALMOST THERE!
WELL DONE GOOD AND FAIHFUL SERVANT.

Stop to Smell The Roses

I have never claimed to have an original thought,  
but rather a transporter of valuable truth,
hidden deep in the holds of my ship of life 
to share with those in need.

To some they have no value
but to others, they are life indeed.

Deut.  30. 19 : I set before you, life and death.  
  Choose life that you and your seed may live. .

Example:

Happiness and love are in your hands

to choose orreject.

To reject is to choose bitterness.

To Quote the words of a poet:

'Some say, love it's a river

that drowns the tender reed.

Some say love, it is a razor

that leaves the soul to bleed.

Some say Love it is a hunger

an endless ache and need.

I say, love it is a flower,

and you it's only seed.

It's the heart, afraid of breaking

that never learns to dance.

It's the dream afraid of waking

that never takes the chance.

It's the one who won't be taken

that never seems to give.

And the soul afraid of dying,

that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely

and the road has been too long,

and you think that love is only

for the lucky and the strong,

just remember in the winter,

far beneath the bitter snow,

lies the seed,

that with the Son's love,

Family




Family means
Everything,

StarSpangled





The forgotten verse.

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto - "In God is our trust,"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

ESCAPE DS Slavery








You can ESCAPE
from the slavery of the DS Plantation.


Vote for Trump

How does a conquering Army gain control over the mind of the people?

Destroy their memory.
Get rid of their teachers.
Get rid of their history,
all of their library
and intellect.

Force them to become
politically correct in their speech.

Finally install fear of their neighbors
with the possibility of a loss of the little that they have and then the free handout they are receiving from the government of which they are now totally addicted to.

Thomas Jefferson quotes those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither Liberty nor safety.

IT IS SAID

Give to Ceaser that which is Ceasers,
to God that which is Gods.

Have we given that which belongs to God
to Ceaser?
In order to get a tax-deduction?

On a coin is the image of the government.
So pay your taxes to the government.

God's image is stamped on your life,
so give to God what belongs to God.

Thinking for yourself?

Is it easier to regurgitate the accepted philosophy
of your club, party, church
than to do your own research for the truth?

Is it easier for a child to use a calculator
to come up with the right mathematical answer
than do write it down or work it out on paper?

Is it more important to fit in, in order be accepted?

Are we allowing ourselves to be dumbed down to conformity?

What is critical thinking?
Is it to criticize or is it to be analytical?

Shouldn't you strive to understand the agenda
of those that desire to control you?

Wounds

In dealing with a deep wound, it is necessary to expose the wound, clean it, then re-bandage it.
If this is not done,
gangrene will set in,
and finally death.
The same is with the wounds
of the past,
or childhood wounds.
You will never grow to maturity until you deal with the past.
Expose it and let it heal.

Among the pastors
who lead the church today, the greatest thing that is missing is humility. When a pastor stands to teach or lead,
He must first of all stand before his people
as the imperfect and the least,
IE the servant of them all.
To Humble himself to wash their feet,
If you cannot teach from your own failures,
or admit your
struggle with the flesh.
And you only teach the answers
for the test of life,
WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING
you because of Pride OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE
are no more than a damn hypocrite

Best way to prepare for a teaching.
Three hours of deep study into the subject,
and eight hours of mindless workin the field,
so that you can meditate on the
three hours of study.

YOUR MEDITATION IS SUPERIOR
TO YOUR STUDY.
Study is knowledge which will puff up.
Meditation will bring understanding
which creates humility.

The wise man can learn from even an idiot,
but the arrogant will have difficulty learning from a wise man.
Maybe the Arrogant is in fact the idiot.

In this crowded, busy, but fog-filled life,
you may feel that you stand alone,
but no!
In that fog is the blanket of His love and peace,
be still and watch-full,
for you are not alone.
You are called to be the Alpha,
a watch-men on the wall

The definition of transference

The old fart
Who did what?

It was a cold winter night.
The old Sea Captain and his faithful dog after having a very heavy meal, got ready to hide under the covers.
The dog was tucked away in his bed,
and the captain also hid under his blankets.
He was fast asleep in only moments.
As the night progressed he was suddenly awakened with the most grotesque foul smell he had ever smelt.
His thought was, the dog has gotten sick and crapped all over the floor.
So he very gingerly put one foot over the side of the bed and stepped carefully so that he would not step in it.
Then as he took another step feeling on the wall to find the light switch,
he noticed the wind was still blowing
and there was absolutely no smell.
What on Earth was that smell?
Apparently the old man was putting the blame on his dog when it was
his own fart under the covers.
So the captain must be a Democrat transferring his guilt
onto Donald Trump.

And the two shall become one

Most of us get married for self-gratification.
Example
I love her because she makes me feel.

Marriage is God's way
of taking two self centered people,
then put them in a box along with the problems of the world,
and as they tumble day after day eventually they will learn to yield to eachother,
until they become smooth!
or they break apart,
because of Pride and control.

But if they learn to yield or submit to each other they will become one.

ONLY AS THEY OPEN UP TO EACH OTHER
WILL THEY BECOME ONE.

TRANSPARENCY
What a concept?

Sedition

A disgruntled worker who hated his boss
caused a ravenous pestilence
to inflict a few of his sheep.
And in his frantic effort to rid the few sheep
with this deadly pestilence,
he caused an epidemic of fear
in the rest of the many sheep
who in great fear
stampeded over the cliff.
In turn he lost more sheep from the fear
than he did from the virus.
His real intent was to get rid of his boss,
even at the expense of the
loss of the entire herd.
Where we go one we go all.

The forgotten verse.

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto - "In God is our trust,"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Clock on the Flag to watch Johnny Cash.

The epitome of hypocrisy

The Man Who in all his effort to live a holy perfect life,
The question is how to do this?
Become a nun?
how about a monk?
no! maybe I won't like the brothers,
How about Solitude!
except ?
when you're in solitude you come face-to-face with your worst enemy (SELF)

The greatest lesson I finally learned
after 70 years was that my worst enemy to overcome in this life was (SELF)
When WILL YOU finally understand.
that only you and your creator can overcome this great enemy,
The answer is what the Lord said to Paul'
my grace is sufficient for you.
MY GRACE IS SUFFECIENT FOR YOU
Thank you Lord.

YOUR PART IS TO SUBMIT TO HIM
HIS PART IS TO SUPPLY THE GRACE.

Failure can be our greatest teacher.
Some of our greatest athletes
in the world
become that way by failing the most,
but they get up every time
and try again.
We as foolish men, doing nothing,
only remember when they win,
and then we criticise when they fail.

Following the light
at the end of the tunnel.

Everyone is on a stairway
following the lights.

One set of stairs is going up.
It can be very hard .
It demands discipline.

The other stairway is an escalator,
it is easy going down.
The light at the end of the stairway
is very beautiful
but that is the one
that is going down.

The deceiver presents himself
as an angel of light
VERY BEAUTIFUL
and we are all deceived buy our own desire of beauty, ease, comfort, AMUSEMENT.

Dear George
Remember no man is a failure who has friends.
Thanks for the wings.
Clarence
Every-time the bell rings an angels gets his wings.
Ya!
It is a wonderful world

Trials in life are inevitable
don't abhorre the coming tests, but take joy in passing the test.

For each test is only a rung on the ladder of life, with each step the Vista, joy, wisdom is more majestic.

Philippians chapter 4

Wise old Owl

TRUST
I have never lost a battle.
I am looking for a few good men, and I will take everyone
That can make the cut.
I.e. TRUST
I demand respect and obedience.
I am patient, I am long suffering,
AS LONG as you GROW in this discipline.

I only look for one thing in order for you to stay in my army.
I'm looking for TRUST
that I have already won and you will be with Me to share with Me this final Victory.
I will not keep the lazy or the coward or the one who causes discord amongst
MY MEN.
DO I HAVE THE RIGHT
to do that?
DAM RIGHT!
I'm only looking for those who have the confidence in the fact that I have already won this battle.
You must be willing to die to have the GURANTEE OF ETERNAL LIFE.

As The Twig is bent so shall it grow

The Farmer plants a grapevine
but as the twig grows,
by nature it spreads out
along the ground.

It will never bear fruit
unless it is corrected,
sometimes by gentle force.
In this way it will learn discipline,
and grow straight.
In so doing it will bear much fruit.

So is the life of your son.

Father's you are the farmer,
your son's success depends on your care.

Intellect versus humility

The more knowledge
The more wisdom
The more understanding you have
is only in direct proportion
to your willingness to serve humbly.

Integrity!
In retrospect
Now that you have traveled some,
on this road of life,
when you look back to see the wandering past behind you,
are willing to expose all those errors or imperfections as you contrast them with perfection?

Sometimes God can use a crooked stick to draw a straight line.

TRANSPARENCY
What a concept

The Stone Rejected

Psalm 118 verse 22
The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
This stone can refer to the last stone to be placed into an arch which is called the center stone or the capstone on the top of the Pyramid of Cheops.

As Michael Angelo combed through the rubble of an old rock quarry he came upon one stone which was tossed to the side as useless
because of a great fracture in it.
With great loving care he carried it to His own home
and began to work on this impossible task to shape it into the form of David.

In the same way the son of David
has searched through
the gutters of this world
and He has found you and I,
rejected and cast away.

He has made a place in his heart for us.

If we will receive and submit! to his love
He will transform us into his own image.

Jesus is the capstone,
but He has chosen you and I
to be part of his great building,
if we will submit to his hammer and chisel
and finally the sand paper and Polish .

This is all for the glory
of His great love for us.

Mark Twain

ENIGMA___
definition of enigma
a person or a thing that is mysterious puzzling or difficult to understand.
I would like to explain to you what's spoken from the pulpit,
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
WHAT???

How about, The respect of God is the beginning of wisdom.
That s a little better.

I believe the AWE of God !
is the beginning of wisdom.

The definition of AWE,
A feeling of reverential respect with fear
or wonder.
An attitude of humility before God,
Self is totally insignificant.
Pause to think on this.

And the smith
his iron measures hammered to the anvil's chime;
Thanking God,
whose boundless wisdom makes
the flowers of poesy bloom
In the forge's dust and cinders,
in the tissues of the loom.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow , Nuremberg

Very often we are asked how do you FEEL?

or at other times we dwell on our emotions good or bad.

We may meditate on our fears of things to come, in most cases they never manifest.

These thoughts or feelings, or emotions are all superficial,
THY HAVE NO SUBSTANCE

To answer this problem we must take control of all of these thoughts emotions and fears by casting them down and think of what is substantially real with an attitude of thankfulness whatever is good whatever is honest whatever is pure whatever is lovely think on these things

II Cor. 10:4 and 5
Phil.4:8

Every day is a gift from God.
That is why they call it the PRESENT.
So open your daily Present with thanksgiving.

What is LIFE?

(Life is a benevolent Master)

Who gives to all
but rewards only those who fight
and seek to understand truth.

The power and mistique of a woman.

Is that which draws a man to her side,
as a partner,
as an equal,
as the necessity in life.

Man was made to be
the bulldozer,
the truck,
the tractor,

The crystal vase was to be
the music,
the center of all that is precious in the man's life
everything he would work for,
strive to conquer.

Her soft and calm continents is what his delight is to come home to.

Her art in preparing and setting the table
is as sensual to him as the smell
and the beauty of her appearance.

THE WORRIER

They say that worry will not help anything, but I don't believe that,
I think I am very successful at it
Because 90% of that which I worry about never comes to be.

Deception is easier to deal with than
THE TRUTH,

which may interfere with what
I WANT TO DO.

2nd Tim 4:3

Trials in life are inevitable,
don't abhorre the coming tests,
but take joy in passing the test.

For each test is only
a rung on the ladder of life,
with each step
the vista, joy, wisdom
is more majestic.

Philippians chapter 4:4-8

I'm reminded of an old shack,
the sun is rising
and streaming in the window to the floor.
IT IS STILL,
not a breath of air moving.

The old man picked up his pipe
and packed it, then lit it.

The first puff of smoke billowed out
in beautiful curls as the Sun
caught its splendor
floating - twirling - leaving a
delightful saver.
And then!
And then it's gone!

So it is in life.
You're born with the splendor of youth,
you're filled with love, wife, children.

They grow and then they're gone.
Then you slowly fade away.

What did you leave behind?

And what hope did you anchor your life upon?

When sailing a ship one must always be checking his compass
to correct his course.
Otherwise he will not arrive at the expected Harbor.
So it is in life When one humbles himself to say I was wrong, please forgive me;
This is more beneficial to oneself than to the one he has hurt.
You see it is self-examination of your character,
and integrity is now restored.
A man is only as good as his word.
What's more even God regards his Word
to be even above his name.

Creation Awaits

FLATTERY IS UNDESERVED CREDIT


When you take credit for something good .
(whether you deserve it or not)

Did you ever think that there will be a day that you MUST PAY for the credit you took upon yourself.

You will never truly help or lift the load of another fellow traveler in life, until you feel the weight of his burden on your shoulders.

THE BIG BANG

From the moment of coitus till now you have been called to the race.

In the beginning there was this exciting orgasmic mad rush
of thousands,
but only one would win

It happens that you were that seed
and were the one to win the rush to life.

And there you were standing on this platform of beginnings,
with the whole world cheering your arrival.

Your thought from that great start was:
Wow it's all about me.

But now you have
the fourth quarter.

You find it is not as glorious as you thought life is.

Its not all about you
you're being knocked around,
misunderstood, ridiculed,
life is not fair.

You tried to run straight and were deceived by the cunning alure
of the beauty of evil and desire,
you tripped,
you fell,
now you want to quit.

But stop, wait!

This race is not about being first!

This race is about standing with courage upon the truth
that has been revealed to you.

Hold fast!--Stay the course!
you will!

FINISH WELL.

There were two lifeguards
sitting on their great and high pedestals
by the beach.
They both came from two different schools of thought.
Today they had a trainee with them
and he was sitting on a stool below them.

There was a young lady
way out at sea
floundering and drowning crying for help.

The two lifeguards were arguing
as to just how the proper way was
to save this young lady.
While at the same time the young trainee went out and saved her, brought her back. And she was so happy about it.

The two lifeguards decided to chastise the young man because he didn't do a very good job of saving her

My thought is this:
Is this not like our different denominations fighting amongst each other while the world is going to hell in a hand-basket?

The bitter sweet joy of overcoming temptation.



Years have passed and the memory!

even pain of that what if;





The beauty of desire,

and lust still linger,

as an echo.



Only because of principle

and circumstance

this meteor of desire

missed it's disastrous goal.



And now you see more clearly,

you can see the cost

or the loss unto others,

retrieved.



Because you did not yield or because someone pushed you out of its way

There was a young man infatuated with lighthouses later on in life he was given one to care for.
So he worked diligently every day to clean and paint the outside and a polish all of the glass in this lighthouse.

His favorite place was a beautiful room at the top of the lighthouse.
The view was magnificent what pride he took in all of its beauty

But after working so hard all day he found it difficult to sleep at night ,
with that glaring light
going round and round.

It was so much more peaceful to just turn the light out and enjoy the stars and the moon at night.

But one night there came a mighty storm and he was asleep.

HIS LIGHT WAS OUT

ANOTHER THOUGHT

There was a man who suffered great in his desire to bring light into the world.

After much effort he created the light bulb and then he created many more.

He was so pleased with his creation,
and there was a great love affair between him and his creation.

So he gave the light bulbs the Great Commission ---

You are the light of the world,
fill the world with light.

They immediately went out and spread the light over the whole world,
but after a while they would just get together once a week in a very dark room to compete with each other as to who was brighter than the other.

Occasionally a dim bulb would come in.
Or one that was flickering and almost going out.

They would jump on them or condemn them for not being very bright.

They had forgotten the greatest principle, and that is even the smallest spark in a very dark cave can lead the people to salvation.

WHO is Life?

I once referred to life as a benevolent master who gives to all but rewards only those who seek.

Let's look at life as a loving mother or father who plays peek-a-boo with the new born baby.

Why peekaboo?

For this reason only,
to establish confidence in the child ,
so that even though the parent is not seen
HE is still there watching.

If you seek me with all your heart you will find me always there!!!!

Death is a faithful servant,
who visits us all!

Then to sort us out in different places
of our own choosing.

One day the ruler of life and death
will relieve death of his duties,

HE then will rule and reign over ALL!
LIFE AND DEATH

When I was in the military service
I learned trust or faith
through
INTREPID obedience.

i.e. To do
or fear not to do,

because of a growing
trustful love
through ABIDING ASSOCIATION
with the
drill INSTRUCTOR.
[ LORD ]

Freedom

Not everyone is welcome on my ship,

FOR IF I MUST TREAT
EVERYONE THE SAME,
I can't treat someone special.

We all have come into this world naked and empty handed, grabbing for that what we need.

We leave naked
and empty-handed
of all that which we could grab.

So remember!
that which was so precious!
in life...

Hold onto it loosely
because when it is time to let it go
it will not hurt so bad.

After all you have nothing in this world that was not given to you by
GRACE.
Without air to breathe a heart to beat
you could not have received
ANYTHING.

Do not protect your child from hardship.
For the discomfort is the beef-steak in life
for him to cut his teeth upon.

He can learn from difficulty
but receives nothing from the pacifier.

Challenges are the spices of life,
as the rain storm
brings appreciation
for the Sun and flowers.

You will not crave water till you are walking through the desert.

There is the man who can father kids.
But he REFUSES
to father his kids.

We never stop being a parent,
but it would seem,
that to many of us
THAT IS NOT
APPARENT.

The Lost Horizon

In many cases the media is inundating
us with the cares of this moment,
and so if we accept it we stop the flow
of His mercy and grace
which leads us to hope.

How often we see the
union between a man and a woman,
they come together
they may even be by all outward appearances to become one.
But in reality it was only superficial
they produced children
they may even have worked or toiled together.
Did they ever learn to communicate?
Deep too deep,
and in the final parting were they only two ships passing out at sea?

A WOMAN
IS LIKE A FIREPLACE

At one time there is a raging fire,
and another time
an even gentle ongoing flame
and then there are those
beautiful coals,
slowly, ,
burning in the hearth.

The secret in the fire
is how you attend to it.

HUSBANDS, HOW ARE YOU
ATTENDING TO YOUR
WIFE?

A Picture is

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

A simplistic sketch of the progressive steps of the natural man without Divine Principle.

1. Born in absolute dependency for food and cleaning.

2. The need to learn to feed themselves and tie their shoes .

3. Having to submit,
obey or else.

4. School 1 and 1 is 2,
work to make ends meet.

5. Learn to use others weaker than yourself to gain more for yourself.

6. Independence of those who taught you and now great pride in your own autonomy.

7 Superiority over those weaker:
HOW to use their ignorance for your benefit in the name of helping them.

8. Abundant wealth.,

9. Control of others.

10. Power corrupts,
absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Example:
Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse-tung,
today's politicians.
That's for you to judge,
but be careful,
you will be judged accordingly.
Start by looking deep within.

So much for electing those who say I am progressive.

THE INCONVENIENCE OF THE UNEXPECTED

The beautiful oyster shell
nestled on the ocean floor ,
loving, enjoying
the gentle sea currents,
the exotic colorful coral,
the seaweed caressing her sides,
the excited
orgasmic enjoyment of life,
until one stray seed in .
A PIECE OF SAND!
A real irritant
What a disruption
and inconvenience!
but worst of all
those virtues
and principles of life
getting in the way.
What can I do?

When the oyster
receives a grain of sand in her shell it's painful to her,
its an inconvenience to her,
so she broods over
it she works with it
and accepts it,
and over a period of time
it becomes a beautiful pearl.

So it is with the unexpected conception of a child.

Life happens while you are making selfish decisions

FREEDOM OF CHOICE

Our time on this earth is a bus stop, not a homestead.
So let's think outside the box.
Freedom has nothing to do with the opposite, which is slavery.
It has to do with free will which comes with baggage

The baggage is:
you are ultimately responsible for your decisions.
We are all taught by others,
but we are responsible for what we decide to believe,
and will account for our decisions as to what we believe and what we chose to do with it.
It would be important to get a good lawyer to speak for you on the day of accounting.
1st John 2,1

MEASUREMENTS

Why is it that we measure how high we are by comparing ourselves with those around us?

How high you are is relative to the truth that you submit to,
Whether it is God's truth or the cares of this world.

Are you in a flower garden
or the city dump?

As a child we would play
king of the castle,
which happened to be
the local horse manure pile
because it was the only mountain around to play on.

That is what I mean by measuring
your self by those who are around you.

Daniel ch 4: 17

THE APPLE WITH A WORM

The worm hole in the Apple:
is it there for the worm to get in
or for the worm to get out?

If it is there to get out,
how did he get in?

So it is in life,
we are all born with
that seed of sin within.

The conservative farmer would not throw the Apple away,
he would give it to his wife,
she would cut the worm out and make apple pie.

Even though you may have imperfections in your life,
God is patient, He will cut the imperfection out and make something beautiful out of
YOUR LIFE

Times do not change

There was a time that all people spoke the same language.

So they rose up to defy the creator of the world so that there would never ever be another flood ,
they built the Tower of Babel.

Their languages we're all confused and so they were scattered over the whole world.

Today after four thousand years we can all speak the same language once again by the computer ,
do you think that we are ready to finally make war on this God that we think is stopping us from all the fun that we should be able to have.
So far we are allowing our government to get rid of all traces of this celestial kill joy.
Times do not change.

The epitome of arrogance

Life becomes difficult,
only because of others.

You see, if all people understood
the way I do,
or could see as clear as I do,
then none of us would get offended at each other.
WHAT A CONCEPT!!!
We would all get along
very well.

You see.
I get offended at others because they cannot see that all I am doing was for their best interest.

It was also advantageous for me.

I realize I understand better than others, so I being wiser should be patient with those who are
IGNORANT.

BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT
BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT


At times that's all you can do.

You breathe in all of the good,
the new life,
the richness
of the future ahead.

But to enjoy any of this,
you must breathe out
all of the bitterness the pain,
and even
those cherished things
that you loved but can't hold on to.

Exhale!
let it all go.
Empty yourself of all that past.
Now breathe in
all of the new life of peace.

WHY IS COMMUNICATION
SO DIFFICULT?

HOW a person responds
to ME,
Usually has nothing to do...
WITH ME.

Until I respond in like manner with something that has nothing to do...
WITH HIM!

These are two people coming from two different circumstances in life;
now trying to relate
from two totally different directions,
leading to total confusion and anger.

So when dealing with
difficult problems
try to find neutral territory;

PREFERABLY
over a cup of tea.

Oximoron

While espousing clarity of thought,
a large part of advertisements
are IRONIC
Example
Planned parenthood
The woman uses birth control pills,
the man gets FIXED i.e. visectamy,
the baby gets aborted
and is used for body parts.
sounds like a junkyard.
THIS IS THE EPITOME
OF IRONY.

FREE public education
No Child Left Behind.
It's a shame to let a good mind
go to waste.

Now the student comes out of college
without the ability
to nail two boards together.
53% of them are jobless,
and in great deal of debt to the government.

DEATH WITH DIGNITY
What would that look like,
A 45 to the head?
Too messy, and I don't like loud noises
you could also get hurt doing that.

How about a drive through mortuary
with tax deduction for your car,
a tax deduction for your body parts
and your ashes
are mailed to your children
as fertilizer for the garden.

This is what you call
THINKING GREEN

Oops_________

My wife asked me to pass her the lip balm

By mistake I gave her the super glue

She's still not talking to me

Climate control and overpopulation

All of Canada the United States and Europe are not producing babies and they are killing the ones they do not want to the point of national extermination

So if the productive of Nations become extinct who will feed the non-productive welfare recipients of the world?

Climate control

If government decides
they can control climate
this will give government
total control over people
and no control over climate.
The people will be fed by the government.
Freedom with responsibility
will be no more.
We will all become serfs or slaves
of the government,
for the government to abort or eliminate as needed.

A quote from President elect Bernie Sanders,
"Isis is caused by climate change.
Is that to say, if we could change the climates then the wild Isis gangs will stop cutting off heads and raping ten-year-old boys and girls?"

A QUOTE FROM
THE BIG BO
SEVEN YEARS AGO

We are five days from fundamentally transforming America.

How would you go about fundamentally transforming a barrel of Good Apples?

Number 1
put three layers of good apples on the bottom of the barrel.

Number 2,
place two rotten apples in the middle.

Number 3,
fill the barrel with Good Apples.

Number 4.
Put the lid on the top of the barrel.

Now you have climate control

Walla! Fundamentally transformed.

Can you tell the depth of a person's understanding and commitment to God,
in other words spirituality,
by his politics?

Damn right!


The extreme-right
Will be self-righteous controlling idiots.


The extreme left
Will be tyrannical dictators trying to please all for his OWN BENEFIT.

The Blacksmith

Two old religious words that we do not understand.

Saint and Holy:
These two words come from one Greek word Hagios which means set apart.

That's easier to understand.

Now lets look at the word righteous;
Another confusing religious word.

If God has set you apart, are you His?
If you are His, then in His eyes
you are without blame
you are righteous!
Eph. 1:1-4

You will answer, but not in my eyes!
Are you greater than God?
Do you see better than God?

How stupid can one man get!

It is your damnable pride and your own self-righteousness that refuses to see yourself Through The Eyes Of God.

So humble yourself in Thanksgiving for his grace and mercy.

Why The Now?

No Crystal Cathedral!
No Church with a Steeple!
BUT ON A SEA OF GLASS
The Sun stoops low
to passionately caress his beloved horizon,
Her body trembles with adoration,
receiving his kiss with a blush of fire
in her cheeks.

I STOP to realize, but WHY?
I am indeed this Temple of God,
Crafted by His own hands,
for this very moment was made for me!
For Him to show His love
and acceptance of my being.

The Clock of life is wound but once
And no man has the power



To know just when the hands will stop,
At late or early hour.

To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one's health is more.
To lose one's soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.

The present only is our own.
Live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in 'tomorrow'
For the clock may then be still.

ode to the sailor

4S.D. Ode to the sailor
Although I call and hear no answer
I seek your Face,
and
In the stars I see your smiling eyes
of assurance,
I'm reminded of your thoughts
for me

They are thoughts for good,
and not for evil,
so that I may have an expected hope.

Jer. 29:11

Your Life lived!


If you could go back to change those things,
that you are not proud of,
would you?
If you could,
and did change those things.
Would you be the man,
of leadership and commitment
that you are today?
In many cases,
it is your mistakes of the past,
that has made you
the strong man of today.
Sometimes God uses a Crooked Stick
to draw a straight line.
Don't hide your past mistakes,
be a father,
ie. be a patriarch,
be a leader.

The rewards in life
are not compiled by
the things you did right,
but by how you dealt with
the things you did wrong.

If you Succeed

Freedom__


Not everyone is welcome on my ship,

FOR IF I MUST TREAT EVERYONE THE SAME,

I can’t treat someone special.

What is life?
Life is a benevolent master giving to all equally.

But rewarding only those who fight to know the truth.

So let's look at that statement so often taken out of context.
All men are created equal.
All men are not equal,
they are (created) equal.

The statement says all men are created,
but it's what you did,
with that created life that was given to you.

Should you receive a trophy,???
if all you did was show up to the starting line??
You must run the race!

The reward is not to those who run the fastest,
But to all who stay the course and persevere in the face of fear,to the end.

Don't compete with your neighbor,
Compete with yourself,
that will be hard enough as it is.

If you know the truth

Why do you insist on proving to others that you are right.
when you know that you are.

Don't curse the darkness.
Light a candle,

No amount of darkness can overcome
the light of one candle.

Your job is to shut your mouth
and BE that shining light.

Words____

How powerful are words?
Do words change the atmosphere?
Are words physical?
Father comes into the family spouting angry vile curses.
Did he actually change the atmosphere of his happy family,
Is he about to put his ship on the rocks?
Yes, with all the neighbors watching.

Little boy in you

Wise old Owl

Can problems in your life become your saving grace?


Old Norwegian fisherman and his son went out to sea.
Picking their way through the jagged rocks and surf, they into calm sea.
As the day passed a sudden squall came up, the sky became black,
they must hurry back to shore.
Something was wrong,
the light house was black.
How to find the shore?
They were doomed to wreck
on the rocks.
Meanwhile at home
his wife was preparing supper.
As they sailed in the direction
of what they thought was the shore,
there was a small flickering light,
and then it grew greater.
Thank God it gave enough light
to see the deadly rocks.
As they came into the shore
his wife ran down to them crying.
We just lost our house in the fire.

The old man was not disturbed,
she wondered why.
He said the light from the burning house was the only thing that saved Jon and me from loosing our life on the rocks .

In the problems of life, always look for
the silver lining of the black clouds.
Live with an attitude of gratitude.

IT IS SAID

Give to Ceaser that which is Ceasers,
to God that which is Gods.

Have we given that which belongs to God
to Ceaser?
In order to get a tax-deduction?

On a coin is the image of the government.
So pay your taxes to the government.

God's image is stamped on your life,
so give to God what belongs to God.

Left and right

How does the body move forward smoothly.
The body is equipped with a left and the right leg.
Both are diametrically opposed
they don't think alike,
not until the head gives the order of direction
and the two opposing legs
submit to the head and to each other
in spite of their differences of opinion.
This is how the whole body moves forward smoothly.
You preachers quit b******* about the fact
that some preacher thinks different than you do.
Jesus said "if they're not against me they are for me."



PREACHERS.
If Jesus isn't upset about
the differences.
Why are you?
Who's running this show after all.
Your just a water hose i.e. messenger.

When you burry your head in the sand
to protect yourself from the hard truth,
you are sure only of one thing.

Those who would control you
will be sure
to blow smoke up your but,
for your comfort, and their profit.

I can't help it if my ex. O decided to

A true Christmas Message.

How is it the greatest wisdom of life is revealed to a Child,
so that they can lead the prideful arrogant Mind.

Isaiah 11 /6

An orphanage in Russia 1991

Totally lacking of moral or religious training,
the children heard for the very first time ,
the story of the baby Jesus born in a manger
because there was no room in the inn .

The children were asked to build a manger
with the baby Jesus in it,
with scraps of paper and rags that they could find.

6 year old Yusuf made his manger
with two babies in it.

When asked why two babies.

He said,
When I saw the baby Jesus cold in the manger
I said, I have no gift to give you because I am poor
with no home or place to stay,
may I lie down beside you to help keep you warm.

The baby Jesus said,
yes you may lay down beside me
and you may stay with me always,
that will keep me warm.

Except as you become as a little child!!

Jesus came to lay down His life for us.
We must lay our lives down with Him

When you aspire to become
the flag on the end of a pole
for everyone to follow,
are you willing to be
something on the end of a stick
that supports
the most common purposes of life.

Professor Poochenely
Teaching Self-discipline 101

What is more important for the garden, the water or the hose?

The gardener sleeps in his house with his hose in the shed.
Both are useless
unless they are out in the dirt.

Those who would be
teachers or leaders
with a message'
should get out of their comfort zone,
to deliver the water i.e. the message
to the people, i.e. the garden.

Young man and his ego
boasts of great and mighty things,
sees himself as 100 feet long.
When in fact he is only 1 half of 1 percent at the best.
And that's in the morning before he gets out of bed.

The true test of manhood is
his commitment to do the hard thing in the face of fear,
to protect his crew
and at the same time, expecting and inspecting
the crew to man-up and do their duty.

After doing all of that!
taking his ship and crew through the roughest seas.
by example,
then stands before his crew ,
and for the first time they will say with true respect
"Aye Aye captain"
we are ready we are willing to go all the way through.
Only then have you reached the heights of manhood.
you truly have honor.

Young man must learn to put his hand in the hand of his Creator
rather then to allow his life be led by his ego.

No man is an island.

Just because you disagree with someone does that make you right?
When you convince someone else that you are right and they were wrong,
You are bordering on the sin of control.

You are not allowing them to be a free person with their own mind.

If you have been commanded
to deliver a message to the employees,
at what point of this delivery
does the message
become yours to copyright.
You preachers,
building your own empire,
remember you are
nothing but a water hose,
in other words a messenger,
hired to deliver a message.
Get rid of your ego,
and the supreme titles,
and go back to delivering
the un-contaminated living message.

Not to interpret it
according to your opinion.
This is what the Supreme-court judges are doing with the Constitution.

Malachias 2 1 2 & 3

When God said he has dumped all of your sins in the sea of his forgetfulness why must you insist on going fishing.
Get over it. Its past and paid for.

The Newfoundland Department of Employment, claimed a boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent to Burin to investigate him.

Gov’t Agent: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them".



Boat Owner: "Well, there's Clarence, my hired hand, he's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the mentally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Lamb's rum and a dozen Labatt Lite every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally".



Gov’t Agent: "That's the guy I want to talk to - the mentally challenged one".



Boat Owner: "That'll be me. What'd you want to know?"

What's the difference
between Kings and Presidents?
In the old days we had Kings
ruling over us controlling
everything in our lives.
So we broke away and became sovereign citizens and we elected spokesman for Presidents to represent us in the world.
They now make executive decisions or orders to bypass our Congress,
so that we do not have easy access to these new laws.
Then they spring these laws on us and say ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Is that the definition of a tyrant?

Do you live because you breathe?
Answer yes.
Does breathing give you personal value or are you valuable because of your person?

The one who gave you life is the one who gives you value.
Your value is in His eyes, not yours.
It is the trusting in Him
that makes the who of man,
who you are, what you are, the beauty of you, the real person that you are.

TRUTH IS SUBSTANCE
(in other words it is eternal)

LIES are found in the five senses,
your taste, your touch, your smell,
your seeing your hearing,


Your emotions follow your heart which are all connecteted to your five sences.

These are all good in their place,
but they have no substance,
they have no foundation.

MANS KNOWLEDGE can only come from these five senses.
These are all changing and they are all only temporal.
That which is seen is temporary,
but that which is not seen is eternal.

So the question is:
Where do you find truth which has substance?

How about checking your gut intuition as to where truth is?

Why should I answer the question,
when you already know the answer?

God is only hindered by your lack of desire to learn!

God's perfect number is seven,
so the answer is
Matthew 7 verse 7

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"

and Matthew chapter 6 verse 33
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

SO! Let's say you want to start a new business,
and you aspire to do great and mighty things,
you're waiting for the right time or finances.
What are you waiting for?
What is in your hand!
Don't despise the day of small beginnings.
LET'S LOOK
Clearly it’s what you do –
not when you do it –
that really counts.
As Richard Bach once said,
“Here is the test
to determine
whether your mission on earth is finished:
If you’re alive, it isn’t.”
Consider this list
of international heroes
of all ages
who discovered their passion
and did not allow circumstances
to hold them back.

At age 7…Mozart wrote his first symphony.
At 14…country singer LeAnn Rimes won her first two Grammy awards.
At 16…swimmer Shane Gould won three Olympic Gold medals.
At 17…Joan of Arc led an Army in defense of France.
At 20…Debb Fields founded Mrs. Fields cookie company.
At 21…Fred DeLuca co-founded Subway with just $1,000 in the bank.
At 43…John F. Kennedy ran for the U.S. Presidency, and won.
At 45…boxer George Foreman regained the heavyweight championship of the world.
At 45…Mary Kay ash founded Mary Kay cosmetics with a $5,000 investment from her son.
At 46…Jack Nicklaus won his sixth Masters tournament.
At 54…jockey Willie Shoemaker won the Kentucky Derby.
At 57…Ray Kroc founded MacDonald’s
At 62…Colonel Sanders devoted himself to Kentucky Fried Chicken.
At 78…Grandma Moses started painting and was still participating in one-woman art shows well into her nineties.
At 83…architect Frank Lloyd Wright was asked which of his masterpieces was the best. “My next one,” he said.
At 84…Titan painted his famous “Allegory of the Battle of Lepanto
At 86…Ruth Rothfarb ran the Boston Marathon in just over five hours.
“You lose a lot of speed between 80 and 86,” she joked.
On his 104th birthday…Cal Evans was interviewed by a Denver reporter.
“Have you lived in Denver all your life?”
asked the reporter.
Cal laughed and replied,
“Not yet, Sonny.”

Life is like

Tolerance

You may find that you
started a project too late!
but you can never start making good decisions too early
because every decision you make will affect the rest of your life,
like every hit with the hammer and chisel
will shape the path of life.

SIN A GOG

Hi would you like to come to visit at the local morgue,
we are having special meetings.

No! I was raised by one of them
I went three and four and maybe 5 times a week,
they CONTINUED to inform me
of how lacking and rotten I was
and so I work hard at being just like all of them.
The more I looked like them and received their praise
the dirtier I saw myself to be in my hypocrisy.
I also saw that none of them really believed
any of that stuff in their handbook,
and none of them really wanted to die to themselves,
at least not right now.

So it seems better at the moment to be thankful
for the life that I have been given
and to focus on the One who has given me
life and breath for this moment.
I thought it might be better to read the handbook
and become more acquainted with the author who wrote the handbook.

Happy Birthday

The light at the end of the tunnel is not an illusion,
the tunnel is the illusion.
This life we live is only three score and ten give or take a few.
But you started eternity the day you were born.
So now that you have a choice,
ie. free will,
what will you do with it?
After all,
life is a bus stop;
you choose the bus and the destination,
this life is the illusion.
Eternity is reality!

The tunnel is the illusion.
Now be silent.
Let the One who creates the words speak.
He made the door,
He made the lock,
He also made the key.

The light at the end of the tunnel
is not an illusion.

The tunnel is.

Sometimes while being a thousand miles away from home you are closer to home than when you are having dinner with the family.

So let's be thankful for the little time that we have.

Who knows what tomorrow may bring.

TIME 1158

Statistics say that every person,
will influence on the average fourteen people everyday
to do good or bad.
Your daily walk in this life is like a small pebble dropped into the pond of life.
The question is:
How is my life affecting others?

Rich Dad Poor Dad.

The poor father works with his son on an old car.
The boys imagination and testosterone pushes him on-words towards this great love,
his first car.
With great imagination and vision,
the more the boy
moves forward in time, he takes his first step on the moon.

The Rich Dad is working hard to provide all those things for his boy that he did not have when he was a young man.

The father says I want it to be easier for my boy than it was for me.
So the father buys his son
a brand new car
and pays for his college
where the boy learns
entitlement, share the wealth,
the attitude of Robin Hood,
take from the rich
give to the poor,
pleasure, amusement, drugs,
free love.

As the boy makes his first slippery step into the gutter

The father says what went wrong I gave him everything,
everything but my time.

Never lose your childish enthusiasm
and it will bring light and life to people.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Life is the search for a treasure

To be held for eternity
A treasure that multiplies
Only in your willingness to
Give it away.

My great quest in life is
This mysterious treasure.

As I was moving through the
Sea of humanity,
I come up on great orators
spouting dark secrets of their wisdom,
from a pulpit of ignorance.

You might say they are Beautiful Vessels,
appearing to hold vast treasures of cargo.

ALASS, -- upon closer inspection I find their holds
filled with emptiness and perishables,
Nothing of substance! !

In my travels I came upon an old weathered ship
moored close to a floundering vessel.
As I sailed closer to inspect,
I found this old weathered ship having no beauty,
was sharing of his life-giving treasure
to help the floundering craft.

The moral of this story is:
DON’T JUDGE THE VESSEL
BY ITS OUTWARD APPEARANCE.
THE FACT IS,
the reason this ship stopped to help
is because at one time it was floundering too.

At closer look, I found this craft was sharing the very TREASURE!
that I was looking for all the time,

It was the treasure called:
TRUTH

LIFE

Don't be afraid of dying.
Be afraid of living the unlived life.

It's not necessary to live forever,
you just need to learn
how to live for today
being content with
that which you have,
and forever will
take care of its self .

Being thankful lasts forever

JUST A THOUGHT.

Very few of us are able to pick up a brush and paint a masterpiece for all to admire.
But at the same time we all have elevated ourselves to be critiques or judges.
For instance I like this!
Or, I don't like that!
and yet,
if we found a scrap of paper with Michael Angelo
or Leonardo da Vinci etchings,
we would guard or cherish that scrap of paper because we knew who the artist was that painted it.

How is it? that I find myself doing or elevating myself to criticize or judge others.
After all, who is it that created that person in His own image.
Yes!! I know that person made poor choices and is not so lovely,
BUT WHO AM I TO JUDGE.
Have I not made poor decisions also.
I suppose I could spare a little grace.

In this crowded, busy, but fog-filled life,
you may feel that you stand alone,
but no!
In that fog is the blanket of His love and peace,
be still and watch-full,
for you are not alone.
You are called to be the Alpha,
a watch-men on the wall

From out of a bed of infirmity'
at the High Noon of my life,
I was informed of your conception,
the weight of responsibility lies
heavy on my shoulders.
The question from the doctor,
to choose life or death,
freedom or responsibility.

I was reminded by an old Mexican lady,
every child comes with a loaf of bread under its arm.

Today I stand,
at the twilight of time.
I look back,
and from the first day,
the Sun shawn
upon your beautiful face_____till now, you have truly been the joy of my life.
Love Dad .

I have talked about spouting words of wisdom from a pulpit of ignorance,
My thoughts go back to the question,

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

Invariably the person will say well! We believe?!, That's not what I asked!
THE QUESTION WAS WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE.
Most people would rather ignorantly fight for what their group believes, without giving one hour to study to know what I, MYSELF, ME , this is what I BELIEVE .
Can you see now why so many of us are nothing but sheep following ignorant leaders.

Aw he's just a baby.
No he is a genius
and the whole world is made for Him
and Him alone.
the whole world spins around him.
His brain is firing on all 8 cylinders'
and he is actually smarter
than his caretaker who thinks he's just a baby

The light at the end of the tunnel

S.D.YOU ARE MEANT TO BE SALT

Salt may add flavor,
Salt may encourage thirst,
Salt will sting a wound,
but encourage healing.

But that is not the true work of salt.
Salt is meant to be a preservative.

As an old seaman I have become salty.
My reason for living now is
to preserve the good
that I have found in this life,
and then to pass it on to you.

I am old enough so that
I don't give a damn
what other self-righteous intellectuals
say or think that I should do.
I do not owe them anything I don't look to them for approval.
I have lived my imperfect life and suffered,
learning right from wrong.
(good from bad)

My job now is to preserve the good
and to leave a map for those who follow

Who are you?

Do you breathe to prove that you live?

I answer no.

Do you live because you breathe?
Answer yes.
Does breathing give you personal value or are you valuable because of your person?

The one who gave you life is the one who gives you value.
Your value is in His eyes, not yours.
It is the trusting in Him
that makes the who of man,
who you are, what you are, the beauty of you, the real person that you are.

WHAT IS IN A NAME

What is the value of your name,
What is the meaning of your name?
Can you live up to your name?

Let's look at the meanings of the names
of the first ten generations of mankind.

A mystery hidden in these names,
from Adam to Noah,
tell the story that most of us ignore,
while blaming God for all of the problems in the world,
Like whining spoiled brats.

WHAT IS HAPPINESS?

If you can't be thankful for what you have,
how and why do you think to you deserve anything better.
Complaining is the manifestation of your lack of trust in the
PROVIDER.

We say I love my kids.

I want them to have
what I didn't have,
I don't want them to have it as hard as it was for me.

Are you sure you are not stealing from them with your thoughts of love.

Is it possible that your hard times actually made you
the Man of strength
and integrity that you are.
The man with backbone
willing to fight for principal,
a love for your country
and patriotism .

Is it possible that those
hard times and hard work
gave you the drive
to actually be the
man that you are today.

Are you sure that by buying your children things that you did not have is truly showing them love by not allowing them the same privilege that you had by working for what they get .

Where do you think entitlement comes from.
Hatred for the authority, are these the same kids that are now running the country and teaching a communistic attitude,
taking from the rich
giving to the poor.

Fathers, they learned it from you. They think you are the rich and they are the poor, deserving what you have worked for.

TRIP TO WASHINGTON DC


As I boarded the plane I noticed how much the air lines had scaled back,
to conserve on cost.
Instead of a 747 or a DC nine I found myself boarding an oversized VW bus with wings attached and two red fire-extinguishers
duct-taped to the back for jet engines.
With nothing in my hands
I had to scoot down the aisle sideways
to get to my seat,
there it was; 11b,
I sat down and buckled up as I noticed
what everyone else was doing,
waiting to go who knows where.
Then that familiar voice came over the speaker, good morning ladies and gentlemen we are happy to welcome you aboard flight number double 007,
we would like to remind you of the
Ten Commandments, in other words
rules and regulations,
of the airlines.
As she droned on with this memorized speech you could see she was just going through the motions and really didn't give a damn, this is what she had to do in order to make a living.
I noticed that all the people were bussying themselvs doing whatever they needed to do,
and this dribble was just part of what one must endure in order to get to wherever they were going.
Suddenly it struck me!
This is like it is as we go to church.
We show up at church and go through the motions, doing what ever everyone else is doing in hopes of getting to wherever it is they think they are going.

AS THE OLD SAYING GOES:
I wish you were hot or cold but because you are indifferent
your constitutional liberties and freedoms
are being ripped away by
self-serving
POLITICIANS.

The human brain is never more active and fully in use as it is in the first 6 months of its life.
you may say
it is firing on all 8 cylinders,
taste, touch, smell, here,
also fear,
safety or loving experience.

The whole world is at its becon call and he has arrived
in the whole world
bubbles down to him
until he discovers rejection negative fear black cold pain then he starts to pull back into himself his brain now works on self preservation instead of in exploring this new world.

Teaching Liberty vs Fear

Of all the things we learn why do we start out teaching our newborn children fear?
Don't do this, don't do that,
be careful you will get hurt,
watch out,
with all negative.
and then we expect positive results.

Why is the news on the radio and the television only news when it is bad news.

why not start out with Liberty, with responsibility, self control, integrity, ramifications of your decisions.

Do you think that this would encourage leadership?
After all how has the other been working for you?

51% of us are receiving some kind of government handouts and that's called liberty?
Those who make 20 to 30 K per year, 70% of their children make more.
Those who make 100 K to 200 K per year, 70 percent of their kids make less.
The question is why.

How to bring two apposing adversaries
together in unity.

Make French toast
with English muffins.

PS.
Add butter and syrup.

TODAY!

I met a beautiful family.
Three years ago they left their homeland and moved to America.
Their own country was given
freedom liberty 20 years ago
but the people could not deal with the Liberty
that demands RESPONSIBILITY.

They all seemed to rather live under
the hand of strong powerful government
who controlled their day to day lives
as long as they had food and shelter.

This reminds me of that people
under slavery for 400 years
miraculously set free
and given a land flowing with milk and honey,
but NO they could not handle
Liberty, responsibility, self-reliance,
They would rather
have a king to rule over them
like the other dictator governments of that day
because of their lack of self discipline
it seemed easier to let the government provide
and they could blame the governments
rather than take responsibility for their own actions.
Today we see the same thing happening in our country
and worst of all it is happening in our Churches,
people would rather live under the hard law and call it grace,
instead of taking liberties that require responsibility, self discipline, integrity and ramifications of decisions made.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Our quest for freedom in life.
Begins with the desire to have control over one's OWN life
But ultimately we are inclined to want to control others instead of self-control.
We are all natural slaves to the
fear of Mr death,
who comes to us all.
And yet we will not
admit this fear
or control over our lives
so we seek to control others
in the name of helping them,
all the time having a secret agenda.
This builds our ego
to show our-self how good
and how free we are.
But ultimately Mr death comes
to us all to deliver us
to the destination of our own choosing
while in this life.

But the Lord of life and liberty shall come to relieve him of his duties and
He will rule and reign over ALL,
both life and death
this is then, true freedom.. The thief comes only to steal, and to kill,
and to destroy:
BUT I AM come that they might have life, and that they might have it
ABUNDANTLY .
John 10:10
