Granddaughter #2's Question

    She is my little mini-me!

She's the middle child. She has brown hair. She loves her pets. She's shy and honest!

(I have 3 granddaughters and 5 grandsons. The Lord has blessed me well!)

She is also baby B... her older sister is baby A.

I have been actively involved with most of my grandchildren on an almost daily basis. I have raised them to know GOD despite their parents Atheism. Although, my son is coming around, just because he sees the results of Jesus in my life. I never fight with him about it. I give it to GOD and of course GOD reveals HIMSELF to whom HE will!

But this past week my granddaughter hit me with a great question. 

You see I go to their house most mornings because my daughter-in-law and my son both go to work. And I am happy to help get the kids up and off to school. Besides, the youngest sibling will only need me to take him to school the rest of this year and next year. And I want them to always have the memory of me coming and taking an interest in them. They are worth it!

So, my 2nd granddaughter asked this question...

Did GOD create us? Or did we create GOD?

HAHAHA... now this used to be an easy question for me to answer. But now a days... it's a bit more complicated.  I have so much more insight these days. 

The obvious answer from the beginning was, GOD created man. I mean that's what we are taught. But GOD gave me deeper thought. 

lol... now let me say here, my poor granddaughter... lol... my answer was not so simple, and I explained it to her... until she got out of the car at school! HAHAHA,..  I used to trap my kids in the car when they needed a lecture... they would turn on the radio and so I took the radio out of the car. Just had a hole there. But I have good kids!

Anyway, I did go into more detail with her. I told her that GOD creating US was about fixing our lives as a people. You see before Genesis, men lived like animals. There was no wisdom or knowledge of the difference between good and evil. It was just life going on and the people had no sense of direction. And so, it was GOD who created organization out of chaos. And GOD created labels (with Adam's help) for animals and things. People had no knowledge of actions and consequences. They didn't know if what they were doing was good or bad. Some people are still like that today. You know? The ones who don't know Jesus and His connection to the Father. 

So, in a way, as GOD taught men TRUTH and facts of life and men created letters and words and wrote down those words, in a sense.... Men created GOD... by learning GODLY ways.

But the most important thing to remember is that GOD is a SPIRIT that lives inside our hearts and minds. So really it doesn't matter to GOD how we say it. Just as long as we say it. Do it. Live it.

Our concept of GOD has gone through some major changes since then. 

And the only thing we should be concerned with is the change made by Jesus!

Going from the old way to the new way.

GOD saw that men would find a way around HIS laws so the only way that GOD could figure how to make man into a better human, is by showing them the difference... and the difference is as easy as explaining the difference between LOVE and hate, JOY and sadness, the difference between building someone or something up... or tearing them/it down.

It's also easy to understand that it is better to live in PEACE, rather than make war.

I believe that GOD is the entity that gives place to every soul who has lived and died. And we learn from them. Them, together IS GOD.

So, the answer to the question is this... 

It doesn't matter how you put it out there... Just put it out there!

Be smart... LOVE One Another! Be kind and helpful to those less fortunate than you. Show your children that we CAN live in heaven if we follow GODS rules!

We live in LOVE and PEACE and JOY and WISDOM!

Really, it doesn't get much better than that!

I guarantee that if your son marries my granddaughter... she'll love him very much and help him live in peace and joy! Isn't that what you want for your child?

I Am Angry

   I found out this morning that my 13-year-old granddaughter had a field trip. They were instructed to wear a cap or hat because of the sun. And when I was told to make her wear her USA cap by her mother, my blood boiled at the reason. 

You see, her teacher had told her specifically NOT to wear her TRUMP cap!

     "We don't want to stir up any trouble" she had said. 

Now why would she say that about Trump and not about Biden?

The cabal is truly in control.

And the reason that I am so angry is because you wouldn't have to tell Trump fans that. Because Trump fans are a good group of people who are only trying to save America from the evils in this world.

You don't see Trump fans out there in the street destroying other people property or killing people just because they hate someone!

And even if I do hate someone, I am not going to go kill them!

Or beat them up or scream in their faces.

If my neighbor loves Biden, I am not going to go make trouble with them, hit them or even waste my energy on hating them. As you probably know Jesus teaches me to live and let live, and sooner or later I know the truth will come out (as it is doing now), and people are going to know this Biden administration is not doing so well. 

In fact, I believe that it is the Biden people who should not wear a Biden cap. We would all laugh at the craziness of it all! 

Here's some truth. It would NOT be my granddaughter who would cause trouble with her Trump cap on... it would be the haters problem, who are choosing to make trouble.

My granddaughter also has a Confederate flag hanging in her room with several other flags. I guess there are those who would want to go beat her up or kill her just for that!

So where is my granddaughter's freedom to wear her favorite cap?

The issue is not with my granddaughter, she is not harming anyone. 

The issue is with the haters.

WHY?

The sad part about this is that I had to tell my granddaughter she does NOT have freedom in America anymore. Where are her rights to wear her favorite cap?

Here is the real deal.

The cabal is working for the evilest deal in this world. But their arrogance and greed will bring them down. You can see them living a haughty life where regular people don't matter to them. They will kill anyone for their own greed.

The greatest thing about GODS PEOPLE is they stand for truth and love and living a life where everyone matters! In fact, our government works for US... We are their boss!

What is even more bizarre is Trump has done nothing but GOOD for us!

There is not one thing, people can come up with, of what bad thing has Trump done to you? I've done my research and there just is no good reason for my granddaughter not to be able to wear her Trump hat! Her other grandparent gave it to her as a gift and she loves it! But you see, haters don't want her to love Trump. I tell her, "They have no clue what is really going on because they are being lied to by the cabal."

Now if you don't know what 'cabal' means, please just look it up. Far be it from me to try to explain it, to people who choose to believe lies.

GOD can show you how GOOD is being repressed. Evil is being celebrated.

So for now, all we can do is pray and stand against the lies. 

There, I feel better now...

Murder's Up

 I read in the news where homicides in my home city are up 70%

Every day I see the news reporting another murder. Sometimes more than one. This week, a 16-year-old female was walking her dog. She was shot 22 times. Today the news is reporting that her ex-boyfriend was arrested for her killing. 

This is common. I hear it all the time. Men killing their girlfriends, their baby's momma. Sometimes its women killing men. But most times its men killing women. And of course, this is not 100%. Sometimes its men killing men. And rarer is women killing women. 

Every time I hear of a new killing, I think about all the people affected by it. Parents, children, siblings, best friends, co-workers, neighbors and other relatives. My heart goes out to them.

We look for justice. But even if the perp gets caught, it doesn't bring back our loved one. 

Yesterday 3 teens were found dead in a home. Today they are saying it was a double murder and a suicide. How horrible is that? So sad about it.

Bae and Dee love to watch true crime and I am seeing it no matter where I go in the house. When it involves children, I have to leave and distract my mind. 

Some of the things that people kill over astounds me! 

Unbelievable. How can people do that?

For starters they see it in the movies, so it's nothing new to them.

You probably know what I am going to say here.

Ok, here I go... If people know GOD, they are not going to kill anyone, unless its self-defense.  But we know that the bible tells us in both the old and new testaments, not to kill. So, a huge reason we are seeing a lot of murders is so many people don't want to believe in GOD anymore. People don't want to have to be subjected to anyone telling them what to do, or what not to do.

I believe that Mr. Foster was murdered because of greed and arrogance. Now, GOD says do not be greedy and do not be arrogant. HA, some people like to be arrogant and greedy. But we as Christians know that GOD says 'greed and arrogance' are not of HIM.

One of the earliest murders was a brother killing his brother. Another, a king had a soldier killed in battle so he could have sex with the soldier's wife. The stories are endless. 

What we need to focus on today is Jesus, and his message to US. And that is this... LOVE one another! Would you kill someone that you love? If you knew true love... you would not.

People who murder are not loving anyone but themselves. 

Some don't even love themselves and they kill themselves.

GOD wants us to love and care about each other. It's really just a matter of respecting others.

Live and let live!

All these murders these days, is because the devil is trying to wipe GOD out of our hearts. Where people won't be judged for what they do wrong. They don't even want you to tell them they are wrong.

They want to be able to murder and you not say anything about it to them.

Arrogance is never attractive.

If we teach our children about Jesus... they are more apt, not to do murder.

Our laws are based on godly principals.  

Let's talk about GOD... and Jesus, and what they stand for: LOVE, Peace, Joy and respect of others. Being kind to others can change the world. And right now, we need a bit of changing in this world.

Fight corruption in high places. 

And Smile! Because Jesus Loves You!

I Went Smooth Off

 It's been a crazy couple of days.

Straight up I went off on Dee. I don't do this very often. In fact, the last time I went off on someone, was in my garage about 15 years ago. And I went off on a dad who was yelling at his teenage kid. It was bad. I don't remember word for word but the short of what I said to him was "You can't build a child up by tearing him down."  And he shut up and to this day he would tell you that he was surprised at me.

You see I am not like that. It's not my habit to go off on people. I try to be like Jesus and spread PEACE and LOVE. But sometimes I guess yellers only hear yellers. 

I had already spent my last ten dollars on 2 packs of cigarettes. One for each of them. Nothing for me. And I was OK with that. I don't get freaked out over that. After all, I am the 3rd person. But then yesterday, she came in and woke me up, asking me to buy her a pack of cigarettes. My check had barely hit the bank. I gave her my card to go get her a pack and when she came home, I had worked up a good mad.  She asked me why wasn't I sleeping? "Because I can't sleep when I'm mad." She asked me why I was mad. Thats when it happened.

  I brought up the fact that she had just had a tooth fall out! (If you look up the results of smoking the number one thing was tooth loss) She has COPD from smoking over 50 years. She complains she can't breathe. And she can't buy food, but she has to have cigarettes. And then I said very loudly; "I HATE them f**king nasty cigarettes!"  She didn't say a word. She stared at me a few seconds, then jumped up and went to her room and shut the door. 

I went into a terrible depression because I don't usually act like that. I felt like I was the bad guy, and I was sad that I had lost control. We didn't speak for 2 days. I had talked to a couple of my friends. And had gotten some good advice, they didn't blame me. But it wasn't until I was going over it with a 3rd friend... (I had posted on social media that I was unhappy, so they called) Then, I suddenly got the idea that what I had done was a good thing! Maybe she needed to see me like that. To see me react with such a fierceness.  

Today, she has been so nice to me!  Bending over backwards to make me smile! 

Frankly, I was surprised she didn't pack up and move out.

But honestly, she knew that everything I said was the truth.

And she told me she is going to get some nicotine patches from her Dr. 

I am amazed that the thing that I thought was so bad turned out to be something that was good. I am so happy that she somehow realized I wasn't playing. I guess.

So, all in all, all is well. 

I am grateful to GOD for helping us to make something good happen. 

We've been friends since 1972.

I guess she understands me. 

Her Dr appointment is in 2 days. I will come back and post her results.

Let's all pray for her to quit!

GOD, please help Dee quit smoking!
