Hate And Lies

 I get on a war path, and I just go with it. 

I even read some scriptures to keep my anger in check.

My problem?

There are too many haters and liars in this world. These are against GODS will for us. GOD wants us to live in LOVE for one another, GOD wants us to stand firm for TRUTH. If we don't then we become the enemy of GOD! And if there's one thing I know, is... U don't want to be an enemy of GOD.

For the most part I can live in PEACE and Joy! But sometimes I read or hear something that really gets my dander up. For example, I heard someone today say that they 'didn't like Ronald Reagan'! WHAT??? I couldn't believe my ears! I was shocked and responded, "Really? Give me 1 reason? What did R.R ever do that made U not like him?"  

I had never heard this ever in all my life. Everyone LOVES Ronald Reagan! And you're not going to believe the answer I got! "I don't know. It could have been the way his nose was. I don't know?"  OK now, if you can't think of a reason to not like a person... well that's just strange to me. I continued, "You know we are to judge a person by their character, not by their nose. I guess U don't like Martin Luther King either." Oh no, they liked M.L.K. I just had to walk away. But it made me mad. There's so much hate in the world I can't stand it. Alas, I don't hate the haters, I feel sorry for them.

Then, I started reading the news. Now it wasn't the news that bothered me as much as it was the hate in the comment section. And I had a sudden urge to kill myself! Isn't anything to worry about. I have LOVE and PEACE and JOY and TRUTH and RESPECT living in my soul! 

Jesus taught that to me.

Sometimes when I say something, someone says, "Well, we can't all be perfect like U." Oh dear GOD this is the worst! I am not perfect! I am fat. But it's in my daily struggle! But I did find out at the Dr's office last week I have lost 16 lbs. (it's a start) I believe every day is a new beginning to have the self-control I need. While others around me are drinking sodas and juice and eating pastries and carbs, I don't. Or I do, only half a cup. Some days it bothers me. But I believe GOD gives me daily what I need to succeed.

I had some really GOOD GODLY maternal grandparents. I watched over the years how GOD made them into Practically Perfect People! I saw firsthand how GOD can change people for the good.

And for now, I am waiting for hearts to change.

I would love so much to be able to go on a book tour and put all the negativity behind me. 

GOD tells us not to be whiners or complainers. 

You can't lift people up by whining and complaining. But by actions or I should say 'loving actions'. Ohhh, Loving Actions, the title of a poem my sister wrote so many years ago. 

"I need rushes of sunshine and a few whisps of wind

to blow through my hair, every now and then..."

Oh, it was a good one. I hope to include it in my book of poetry one day. Oh yes, I have been a poet since I was 11 yrs. old. At first, they were sad, but as I grew older, I learned to add a happy twist at the end, so you don't end up feeling bad. 

Yep, that is my dream. 

I would love to chat with people who make LOVE and Truth their priority!

People who strive to follow the perfect will of GOD, that has been written about thousands and hundreds of thousands of years ago. This info didn't crop up overnight ya know.  This is info that smart people have known for many moons. And that is, living a life full of LOVE and joy and truth is way better than living a life where hate and lies dominate the hearts and minds of PEOPLE.

And in the end, PEOPLE will get it! 

I feel like Christianity is a like-minded code. The Bible is the history of mankind, and it explains all the bad and good in life. And the Holy Ghost shows us the difference.

I remember a prophecy that says, 'Good will be bad and bad will be good'. I think we've reached that place. But Praise GOD the good people are not going to allow the confusion.

GOD is not the author of confusion.

I guess at the end of the day people are going to think what they're going to think. I am just glad and grateful that GOD is with me, and I know the real facts, LIFE is better if lived in LOVE and TRUTH... a life filled with hate and lies will only take you to the pits of hell. And U can't go back and change that fact!

Update: I have a spiritual Sista who is very smart and well educated. And I was telling her about this issue, and she confirmed that for some 'fighting is their happy place', so now I am happy to get this behind me so I can feel normal as I make a conscious choice to just not argue with people just because it entertains them. I don't think that would be so hard.

Thank You GOD for UR LOVE and TRUTH... as I am happy in it!

GOD Bless US, Everyone! IJCNA

He Said He Was A Failure

 He said he was a failure because he couldn't buy his mother a new couch.

You know everyone has an ah-ha moment and this was his. He is 58.

But even then, GOD still loves him. He doesn't realize that with GOD even your worst choices can be forgiven. And he made a lot of bad choices. It's true he can't buy his mom a new couch, but he can learn from it. You can never go back and change things. 

He didn't finish school. He dropped out because he had an unknown learning disability. Now today we have lots of people helping people with learning disabilities. We are blessed to be living in this time. We have sure come a long way. I mean our education can be unlimited!

Nobody has ever known everything about everything. No one that is, except GOD. Because GOD IS WISDOM! He knows all of our hearts and minds, so HE knows everything that I know and everything that you know and everything that everyone knows! This is exciting to me!

Also, this man, he was a party animal! He loved the party and was the life of the party! He was funny and good looking, and he got along well with everyone! Even I met him at a night club! He was with the party, and I was working. I worked the floor, but eventually became a bartender.

His parents never taught him about GOD, never took him to church, and never strove to get close to him. So, his parents actually distanced themselves from him. 

The whole family fell apart. Mom and dad were both cheating on each other and really had no time for the kids. You see, he had an older sister, who as soon as she could, ran off with her boyfriend and got married. And I am happy to say, they are still together to this day, and I am believing that they will be together forever! They have 3 children and a few grandchildren. Most importantly, they love Jesus!

And then he discovered drugs. 

They made him feel better. 

I hate drugs! And I pray to GOD to stop the people who make and distribute them. I know that one day they will no longer exist, but as long as there are men who live for greed there will always be this horrible habit. It has killed so many people. Even people I know. I don't have any personal friends who have died from drug overdose, but their kids... my kids' friends. Not just overdoses, I have seen kids on drugs having terrible accidents because they are out of their minds on drugs.

One thing specifically that GOD says to us is to always remain in your right mind.

Here's the thing, when you do drugs and drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes, where is your money going? I can drive through the neighborhood, and I can see who blows their money and who uses their money for home maintenance and general upkeep. There are a couple reasons here. 1. You don't have the money for it. and 2. After working all week and partying the weekends you don't have the clear mind or the energy to get up and do work around the house.

My Grandfather was a very good man. He worked all week, came home and worked around the house on Saturday and went to Church on Sunday. He never missed a Sunday. He paid all the bills and gave my grandmother spending money and kept her happy, they were married 67 years! 

But not everyone is like my grandfather.

I see older poor lonely people these days.

Usually most of these people who drink alcohol and do bad drugs are selfish and would steal from their own mommas. Then they grow old and push people away. They are alone in some hovel, with no one to care about them, except for people who are paid to take care of them.

It's a sad road. A miserable unhappy existence. These people are usually told to quit smoking and drinking and don't use drugs. Which they can't seem to do, some can. But most pick up those old bad habits and can't live without them. Which if they don't, they usually die young.

The best thing to do is not get started in the first place!

I see a lot of young people doing the right thing. No cigs, little alcohol and a bit of GODS herb, a seed-bearing plant that GOD HIMSELF has said it is for our good use. And I am happy to say, WE as a PEOPLE are finally catching on... almost 100 years of marijuana being illegal, we're finally realizing what good medicine it is.

Ok, now GOD tries to tell us how to live the optimal life, like my grandfather and so many other good men have. Yes, GOD gives us all that info! But some people don't want to hear it. 

I've been thinking about WHY a person would not love GOD? Why don't people want to listen to such wisdom and have a great, wonderful, best that it can be life?

GOD tells us how to do that! YES, it's TRUE!

Now I believe that the reason people don't listen is because they want to do what they want to do and not be restricted in their actions. They want to lie and cheat and steal and destroy, they want to murder and watch murders, among other things. And they don't want anyone telling them they are wrong.

The trouble here is that one day they will learn they are wrong, and it will be way too late for some things... like, he's not able to buy his old mother a new couch. And his hell would be that when he does die, he can never go back and change things. While he is alive some miracle could happen, and he could buy that new couch.

Which is one thing that I LOVE about GOD! Well, there's lots of reasons I love GOD and I hope I get them all covered before I die, as I am here as servant to our Lord!

Here's the thing, if you are a drinker and a smoker, GOD is supposed to be living inside you! HE is not a drinker or a smoker and does not want you to be either! Drinking and smoking is not life sustaining. It sort of destroys your body and you don't live 'long time' like GOD want's for us.

I don't know about you, but my priorities are this; 'home and family' they are my life, my loves! I feel very blessed in my life here with them! On Sunday I had my 2 granddaughters from 4 houses down come and help me make 'my grandmothers' special cake for my sons 38th birthday! I directed them and they did it all! When we took the cake down to my son, he was so very happy! And my daughter in law says it's her favorite cake too and is so glad the girls have learned how to make it! 

You see one day I will be a very old lady and my granddaughters will be bringing me some of my grandmother's special cake! And Ya know what? Every time I taste that cake, I feel like she's still here, in some way that gives me a special kind of joy that I can't put into words!

So, my message here today is this, keep a sound mind, don't fall for the lusts of the flesh.

You'll be glad you did!

GOD Bless US, Everyone!

Evelyn McHale

    I am so sad about it.

She had so many reasons to live. 

But she chose to die.

And I want to write this blog for her and those like her.

She didn't want any remembrance. She didn't want anyone to know about her. But now, about 80 years have gone by, and her story is still mentioned among people who care. 

I am thinking about her today because, a Beauty Queen has once again done the dirty dead. A lovely, beautiful woman who had so much to live for, jumped 60 stories to her death. 

For Evelyn, she jumped 86 stories, off the Empire State Building. More on this tragic story through a web search of the name Evelyn McHale; the most beautiful suicide. 

Her name will always remain in my heart. 

We share a birthday. But hers was in 1923.

I wish she had known Jesus.

Jesus saved me from suicide. 

She had a big family. Lots of siblings... I would think that among her sisters she would have had a best friend she could have gone to for comfort and advice. 

I am thinking maybe her family had some trouble. Her parents divorced. So, there must have been something. This poor girl couldn't even go to her daddy for help or support or comfort. Neither could she go to her mother. I don't think they were a Christian family. Or they could have been one of those families who professed to be Christian but inside the home it was cold and cruel. I don't know.

The most important words that Jesus said, in my opinion, would be for us to LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

Did Evelyn feel loved? 

Somehow, I feel like there was not much LOVE in her life. 

The 1940's was a rough time for people. There was war. There were corrupt people running things in many places. I remember my grandmother told me the 40's were so bad, people sold all that they had, and all gathered on a hill and waited for the second coming. 

People sure didn't know anything else at that time. Can you imagine their hearts when they had all gotten tired of waiting and went back to the city? 

I always wish that I could go there to help people feel better.

I wish I could have known Evelyn. I wish I could have told her how important she was. I wish I could have told her that life is not always full of bad times. GOD teaches us how to have LOVE and JOY and PEACE throughout the bad times.

If it were true that her homelife had trouble, this would explain a bit about why she did it. 

She had left a note. the last thing she said was 'tell my father I guess I had a bit of mother in me'.  To me I feel like maybe she had a mean mother. And she also said to tell her fiancé she probably wouldn't make a very good wife. Was that because she had a mean mother and she learned to be mean herself?

I had a mean mother, but I didn't learn to be mean. I can be mean I suppose. But for a reason. I am not mean just for the entertainment. But I can feel the loss of a good mother for her.

But you see, GOD knew my heart and showed HIMSELF to me.

When children are valued, they learn to value themselves.

When everyone knows Jesus, we won't have these problems. 

I hope that when I pass, I will be able to communicate with Evelyn. I hope I can tell her I cried for her pain. I bet we both had mean mothers. But I was lucky, my grandparents introduced me to Jesus!

I feel like GOD had a special place for her. Safe within the arms of a good father.

Her story continues like this, remember she didn't want to be remembered, but when she jumped, there was a photography student across the street and he got a picture of her, looking just like she was asleep. 

Do a web search and check it out.

And let's remember that sometimes pain is overwhelming. If someone seems like they are sad and depressed, give em' an ear... a shoulder. Whatever they need to see there's more to life than pain and sadness. For surely, the dark clouds pass with time.

GOD Bless US, Everyone! IJCNA
