Seriously??!!
So the government has issues. They are all stupid!
I can't believe how many programs they fund! Many of them are so idiotic anyway, and so simple that the communities themselves could upkeep them on their own. OMG!
Say...for instance...head start programs...really?? I don;t agree that kids should be thrown into institutions that early, but are you telling me someone can't just start their own personal business to provide this type of service to those who use it? Why involve the gov.?
Elderly care....that should be every communities responsibility to provide for their elders. Plain out and simple. Are there not enough volunteers to help do a helping part...ugh.
Parks and recreational places... what...so I understand tax dollars on the cost of the property, but are you saying the community surrounding these areas can't simply find 50 volunteers or so to help upkeep these areas on their own?
WTF people.....lazy bastards, get off your ass and get to work. Can you not spare a weekend a month to give of yourself.....
Now not dogging the losers who don;t do crap, but for those who are willing and don;t know what to do.....why isn't there a section in the local paper (or a website!) that lists things that need done around the community? that way it can get help, people will know what needs done, people will step up if they knew they could provide something to the cause....
For instance, why the hell do they hire a worker to mow the local park??? What for??? It's a waste of money. Can you not find 20 people to mow the grass for free...I bet you could, but you don;t try, you just complain and bitch about not having money when you don;t realize you are wasting it.
So 20 people, 1 person mows it a week during the growing seasons...does some litter clean up. A few take turns stopping by to make sure things are taken care of....it's not so hard when people work together....
Hell, I'll even mow the grass once or twice to prove it....and don;t have to pay me. But i can't be the only one....and I need to borrow someone's lawn mower and weed eater...it can be done....it's the lazy sloths that keep people in debt, not only with money but with productivity...
Stop being sissy little ninnies that want your damn little bottles full of corn syrup and candy and get off your damn hands, knees, or whatever you find yourself resting on and stand up on your own feet and work or walk and DO!
Want to know what needs done.....so do I. But no one will tell us, because they spend money on all this shit we don't need to be paying for and won't tell us.
I can tell you what I need though. PLEASE feel free to list what you need too, otherwise no one will know and nothing will be done about it. So I will tell you what I need that I have trouble doing all by myself...
I need someone to sew some things in their spare time. they will have to have a serger and a sewing machine. I will pay for this service if you can do it well. If not, I will teach you and when you get better I will pay you, but I can't pay you until it's good enough to sell.
I need my yard mowed and weed eated. I do not have a mower or weed eater though, but it needs done. I can give you something, small amount of money, some cookies, sweet tea maybe... Free photography session (though I am learning still)
I need doors built for our shed. We have the materials and tools. Just need it done. Need a ramp for it too.
The government doesn't give me money for this shit like it apparently gives the state, so I am screwed unless we do it ourselves which we most likely will have to because no one helps each other...because this world is dying.... I'm not talking about the earth, I'm talking about our souls.
Are you still alive? Do you sit on your knees or stand and walk?
If you need something (besides money, because I am poor) let me know and I will see if I can provide it, however I am just one person, and there's only a very few people I know who are standing, even fewer who are walking. But if we can find more great warriors then we will have something.....and we will make a change....and show then how it's done....So post here if you need something, or email me at landofjas@yahoo.com .
And....I can give counseling though you may not like what I have to say, lol....it is free. You can bitch about how I write or how bad you don;t like my curse words I put in my ranting blog, I don;t care, I will listen. You can say how awful I am and how I don;t understand what's really going on it the world, I don;t care, but I will listen. You can state all the bad things you think about me and I will listen, i don;t care. I don;t care because I know who I am....and I never think anything bad about you....unless you actually DO bad things....but they have to be really bad things ;)
I can tell you what I think, but I don;t know everything, and you know that, but I have a sideways upside down, tilted perspective of things.....and similar to those hidden picture pictures...sometimes you can find the objects much faster if you distort the picture. I may can help you find your answers or at least make you feel better cause my ideas were stupider than yours :).... I don;t mind.
Okay, gotta go now, it's 2 am here. I guess I should sleep, tomorrow we have schoolwork, cleaning house, sewing orders, my launch! and roller derby....so if I come write again, it's all your fault.
Love you (((HUGS)))!!!

Vicarious Visage of Vexing Voices
My computer is being slow today :P that sucks.
But anyway, I wanted to invite you all to stop by my biz fan page on facebook and give you a heads up that we are launching our new fall line "Under the Moon' tomorrow (Monday!) Be sure to stop by and grab some deals....GO HERE!!!! (or what I like to call steals, because you so know I don;t charge what it's worth, I charge less because you love it and I want you to love it more because it's cheaper than most stores and looks cuter anyway)
Go buy me out please.
Tomorrow I have roller derby, yay, but I hope I'm able to do it, as I am still recuperating from my butt hurt from last week.
I do not have much to write about today, but am fixing to go watch a movie (not sure which one yet...) whatever netflix sent....
Oh, but I did watch V for Vendetta again (parts of it anyway) earlier today....that is a good movie....still. You should go watch it. Equilibrium is pretty cool too, so if you haven't seen that one, that is the one you need to watch for your education this week.
I have skirts to sew up and I'm not sure I will be able to linger around and play on the computer as often as I have been..... Last time I had about 50 skirts to sew up, this time I have more and am afraid to count...but they need done by the 9th....yay. So I'll be busy.
Not to mention I have to make whatever customs I sell in my line that will be listed tomorrow...hmmm....
We shall find a way.
Have fun guys, no rant today except for the lack of money which sucks shit. I could easily demand money to appear, but the equivalent exchange theory usually is not worth it, so I will take the accept things as they are theory and deal with it for tonight only.
Seez youz laterez.

... and I keep bleeding...keep bleeding love.
....but I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you.
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth.
My hearts crippled by the vein that I keep on closing.
You cut me open and I.....
So what is up with this week....besides it being an utter mess!!
Friday I pulled a muscle...saving a momma spider and her eggs (or more like moving it from inside to outside) That was no fun.
Monday I fell on my arse playing some roller derby. I am still recuperating from that thank you. But I can move now.
I worked everyday this week like there was no tomorrow, because there wasn't. So damn tired. Luckily I have that order completed......but knowing there is another huge box of orders sitting right over there laughing at me.
My own design line launches Monday.....I still have a few tops to finish (which I will totally get to on Sunday night)
I have a photoshoot I need to go on to get my 3 photos for the camera club I joined. Hoping tomorrow I will get to do that
On a good note, we managed to get all the school work done this week. Fascinating! Considering how unorganized this week has went. TGIF! Tomorrow is a fun field trip day :) and we will be using up those train tickets I won!! Whoo hoo!!
So, since I've been working I haven't had time to educate you...but I will make up the lost time with one of my lovely stories....
Once upon a time there were a group of students visiting their teacher. The teacher offered them something to drink and had them go over to a table that was set up with cups and mugs and glasses of every shape and size, each one was different from the others. They each grabbed one to their liking.
The teacher poured them their favorite beverage into the cup they chose.
He said "Each cup represents yourselves. And the liquid represents the spirit of God. Even though each cup is different in shape, the liquid will form to that vessel in order for you to know it. What one sees in one way will be different from the others, just like the liquid will form differently in each cup. This is the wisdom of truth."
One of his students asked "But what if the cup is empty?"
The teacher replied "Even though cups may be empty, because they refuse to have God enter them, does not make them so. There are those who cover their cups and let them remain empty, but alas, their efforts will fail, for when God wills he can place that cup in the heat, and water will form within the void. There is no escaping it."
"But" he added, "no matter the shape or form or fullness of your vessel, or whether there is something in it, what is important is that God made that cup."
Well, that wasn't so bad....kinda lame, but not bad.
Let's see...maybe I can find you something cool to look up if you are feeling insightful and open-minded....(ugh, this would be so much easier if I had the links on my old hard drive! I had bunches of cool stuff)
Okay, try this one, this is the Tao Te Ching CLICK HERE if you are unfamiliar or a wuss, the Tao is ancient Eastern scriptures, some of it is cool, some of it kinda sucks, but reading through the sucky parts, makes the totally awesome parts worth the read.
How about this one too....
The Holy Book of Destiny... though I cannot find a good link to it, besides this one HERE a pdf download, it is free.... I have not read it all, but I like this verse...
"And when they seek
to oppress you
And when they try
to destroy you,
Rise and Rise again
and again
Like The Phoenix
from the ashes
Until the Lambs
have become Lions
and the Rule of Darkness
is no more "
Maitreya The Friend of All Souls
The Holy Book of Destiny
and a rant for the day, because I am sure you miss it and are in withdrawal....
I can do everything...yes, I can do it all and can undeniably prove to you that I am awesome.....BUT, deep inside, I am screaming, I can't do it all!!!
Seriously. It is possible to accomplish it all, all by myself, but it hurts. It hurts that sometimes it is only me that can do it. I hate it. I don;t want to do it all. I shouldn't have to do it all. There are more than enough people in the world to support each other in a great and fulfilling way. Unfortunately I only know a few who are willing to do such. And even more unfortunate is that I really could use some more help and there is no one around. I could slave drive the kids, but I'm too nice for that. They do their chores and school and clean up after themselves, really isn't that totally cool enough. They even help when I ask them to (because if they don;t I will tell them to, lol.) But overall I let them be kids and anyway they aren't quite old/tall/strong enough to do some things I need done. And hubby does what's only mandatory, because he works a real job (not that I don't also have a real job too!) He's harder to persuade to get to work than the kids, but 'eventually' he may think about possibly maybe getting partially closer to kinda being doneish. Whatever...it's a 'I won;t do it all' thing with me starting a few hours ago. I can, I don't want to, some things I do want to, but right now I won't. So any previous arrangements I made are null and void, because I am the boss. And well, we can blame it on the boss and get over it or learn to deal with it.
All hell will break loose next week.....and I will certainly keep refreshing my ranting blog with more crap I am frustrated about and some more education for you curious readers.... lol, I put 'curious readers' ...lol..... you have no idea how nice I am being. But then again, I think it's cute and now I am deliberately making you rethink your thoughts..... now tell me, does adding that extra insight make you think bad thoughts? Why does everyone assume the worst in people, when maybe we are just screwing with your mind only to make you realize at the end of your days it is your own judgements that have kept you in your box.
Okay, well, you probably do not understand what I just wrote, but I will leave it for the ones who will get a hint of enlightenment from it.....Do you like it when I say 'enlightenment' like its some Zen or Buddhist phrase? It's not (well, maybe it is), so please go educate yourself further, try google.com, they have a really great search engine. If you use swagbucks, search google, then on google search to your hearts content....assuming it will ever be content.
Did you know that if you actually take the time to research into other 'isms, they are not so far apart as you perceive. I find it sad that many consider every other one bad. I have truly found that it is not the basic theologies that make it bad, it is what people turn them into. What's bad is the weapons that guard each one of their cages, not only to keep others out, but to keep themselves in.
Reminds me of Yin Yang..push and pull, twee and la. too bad many are one or the other but not part of both... accept them all or deny them all.... ugh... too much other stuff in the way of what really matters.
What matters is for you to figure out.

.... just a secondhand emotion
what's love got to do with it..... who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
I do.
And of you stab it with some dull blade, then like Wolverine, it will heal. But similar to how bones tend to grow stronger and more durable with every stress crack you impose on them while young, so your heart will grow stronger and deeper with every knife that slices it open.
Maybe that's why many of our youthful days were spent in agony, sorrowful times that slowly carved chasms through the fine tissues of that part of us, so that when we were not so young anymore, we could not only bare the painful stings, but also the slaughterhouse.
But, sometimes there are those who fight against the pain and deny themselves the right to earn a scar by protecting themselves with artificial cloaking. These are those that place barriers before their hearts and never let anything in or out...until it suffocates. Life will fade and love will not flow.
On the other hand you have those that live and love fully. Their hearts are littered with scars. They give their all and in return have gotten all back whether it be good or not. But their hearts are strong and they will survive. They are willing to live and love again and again.
Let us bare our hearts. Put them on the front line. Show those who fear, that pain is beauty and power. Agony is life. Death is nothing but a dream.
So no one will see, no one will know, no one will care. Does it really matter though? If you don't show love for them , do it for yourself. Do it for that greater power that calls you. Do it for love itself. Do it to spite the resistance that tries unceasingly to stop you. Do it no matter what.
"Hearts are burdened. But your heart belongs to me and nothing can trample upon it."
You know what song never fails to make me smile..... THIS ONE , LOL!!!!
Yeah, I'm a little loopy ;)
I do.

Dirty little freaks...
We will never be, never be anything but LOUD...and Nitty Gritty....
Pretty bad, I wrote my title with one song, but since my itunes switch songs I'm now listening to The Beatles....with love from me to you....
I guess this is how we will direct this post then, instead of the prior. Although I think nitty gritty is fun and gets some nice dirt under you fingernails, and if you don't wash your hands you taste it and bite into one of those specks of grit and it's loud in your ears...but you know it probably contains more natural minerals then that cup of coffee you just drank.
Nitty gritty also gets under your skin. It rubs and scours away at your soul. It irritates those sensitive parts of yourself that you felt were so strong and reliable. However that grit causes harsh consequences to whatever you built your domain upon. Nitty gritty tests those foundations. It blasts away at the walls, and if it can it will leave you vulnerable, and your tower will fall......
But what does that mean?...
.It means that whatever ideas or beliefs or opinions that stood upon those foundations will crumble. If the nitty gritty hurts or bring pain, then your foundations were never meant to stand. If that nitty gritty can cause any amount of grief or strife upon your kingdom, then your kingdom needs a new King.
If for instance what I say (the sometimes nitty gritty) shakes you. Then perhaps your ideals are not as strong as they would be if they were in fact based upon the truth...because the truth will stand, the truth would not be shaken by anything nitty gritty, foreign or domestic.
BUT, I guess we need to focus on The Beatles....With Love From Me To You.
Whether you see things as such or not, most of what I write either has nothing to do with anything at all, because it's just a random rant about something that irritated me at the time. OR, what I write has something to say that's important. Either way, the idea is to get it out of my head so it won't keep me awake all night.
Writing helps me clear my head. I don;t care if it is read or not. I don;t care about anything other than it's not stuck somewhere where only I can hear it. Now some things are meant to be shared, because they have some education in them, and I like to help with the conquest of enlightenment. But some maybe perhaps aren't necessarily share friendly. But, If you want to know my good side or bad sides, or up sides, or down sides...I will give freely. Even without being asked sometimes.
So the point being that whether I am frustrated at some idiot who did something obviously disruptive to my calm, or whether I am sharing that fact that nitty gritty stuff is really good stuff if you choose to see it that way, it is all in love. Not meant to bring turmoil to your little worlds...maybe perhaps to test your foundations, but not to destroy your dreams. Distort it all you want and make up your own opinions, how you take it is a mirror image of what you think of yourself. And a wake up call to have another look at your foundation.
Is there something you will lose if you do something nitty gritty? Will He love you less? I think not.....No, I 'know' not...
Hmmm...Josh Grobin is playing on itunes now....I swear that is as close as I can possibly get to actually liking that kind of music, lol....
Anyway, let me tell you a story....
Once upon a time there was a young girl. She stood in the darkness near the edge of a great pit. The pit had dark gray stones that lined the edges. It was wide across to the other side. So deep that the bottom could not be seen. A pungent smell bellowed out of it. Sulfer maybe? Brimstone? And heat...lots of heat.
She listened as sounds from the pit echoed from below. They were terrible screams and peals of pain. So many...she thought as sorrow filled her mind.
The Lord was standing nearby and looked down. The screams became louder than before just by His gaze. He looked sad.
"Do you think I would allow any child to be placed in there?" He asked.
She didn't respond, for they both already knew the answer....He would never send the ones He loves into that place...never.
You know what would be cool.....having someone sew all this crap for me.... I have too much to do, but find myself here writing about things that no one probably understands anyway. UGH. But, I don;t do it because I find it fun or entertaining...I do it because I'm led to do it...to the point I will be in the middle of sewing or cooking or doing something and this 'thought' will just be 'put' into my head and my first thought is to go write it... I don;t know why, considering I think my poor blog here has caused more strife in this poor town than it's worth. People get their panties all in a wad over this or that and stir things up....makes me think that maybe it;s the nitty gritty working it's way into their foundations.....and they feel the tremors...I don;t know. But I do know that no matter how hard their towers may fall.... if they just let love lead them, and teach them, it will build a great kingdom for them that can never be destroyed or shaken....
God bless you all in Christ and without, He'll mess you with too oneday, all you have to do is ask.
but believe me He will mess with you HARD!...
Watch for the yellow butterfly.....It'll show you the way.
Pretty bad, I wrote my title with one song, but since my itunes switch songs I'm now listening to The Beatles....with love from me to you....

If for instance what I say (the sometimes nitty gritty) shakes you. Then perhaps your ideals are not as strong as they would be if they were in fact based upon the truth...because the truth will stand, the truth would not be shaken by anything nitty gritty, foreign or domestic.
BUT, I guess we need to focus on The Beatles....With Love From Me To You.
Whether you see things as such or not, most of what I write either has nothing to do with anything at all, because it's just a random rant about something that irritated me at the time. OR, what I write has something to say that's important. Either way, the idea is to get it out of my head so it won't keep me awake all night.
Writing helps me clear my head. I don;t care if it is read or not. I don;t care about anything other than it's not stuck somewhere where only I can hear it. Now some things are meant to be shared, because they have some education in them, and I like to help with the conquest of enlightenment. But some maybe perhaps aren't necessarily share friendly. But, If you want to know my good side or bad sides, or up sides, or down sides...I will give freely. Even without being asked sometimes.
So the point being that whether I am frustrated at some idiot who did something obviously disruptive to my calm, or whether I am sharing that fact that nitty gritty stuff is really good stuff if you choose to see it that way, it is all in love. Not meant to bring turmoil to your little worlds...maybe perhaps to test your foundations, but not to destroy your dreams. Distort it all you want and make up your own opinions, how you take it is a mirror image of what you think of yourself. And a wake up call to have another look at your foundation.
Is there something you will lose if you do something nitty gritty? Will He love you less? I think not.....No, I 'know' not...
Hmmm...Josh Grobin is playing on itunes now....I swear that is as close as I can possibly get to actually liking that kind of music, lol....
Anyway, let me tell you a story....
Once upon a time there was a young girl. She stood in the darkness near the edge of a great pit. The pit had dark gray stones that lined the edges. It was wide across to the other side. So deep that the bottom could not be seen. A pungent smell bellowed out of it. Sulfer maybe? Brimstone? And heat...lots of heat.
She listened as sounds from the pit echoed from below. They were terrible screams and peals of pain. So many...she thought as sorrow filled her mind.
The Lord was standing nearby and looked down. The screams became louder than before just by His gaze. He looked sad.
"Do you think I would allow any child to be placed in there?" He asked.
She didn't respond, for they both already knew the answer....He would never send the ones He loves into that place...never.
You know what would be cool.....having someone sew all this crap for me.... I have too much to do, but find myself here writing about things that no one probably understands anyway. UGH. But, I don;t do it because I find it fun or entertaining...I do it because I'm led to do it...to the point I will be in the middle of sewing or cooking or doing something and this 'thought' will just be 'put' into my head and my first thought is to go write it... I don;t know why, considering I think my poor blog here has caused more strife in this poor town than it's worth. People get their panties all in a wad over this or that and stir things up....makes me think that maybe it;s the nitty gritty working it's way into their foundations.....and they feel the tremors...I don;t know. But I do know that no matter how hard their towers may fall.... if they just let love lead them, and teach them, it will build a great kingdom for them that can never be destroyed or shaken....
God bless you all in Christ and without, He'll mess you with too oneday, all you have to do is ask.
but believe me He will mess with you HARD!...
Watch for the yellow butterfly.....It'll show you the way.

Little soldier boy, come marching home....
Leaves from the vine....falling so slow.
Like fragile, tiny shells, drifting in the foam.
Today is a beautiful day, just like yesterday and the day before, and they day before that, and even tomorrow. Maybe you just need to see it as such....
Let me tell you a story...
Once there were some monks who went to town and bought some seeds of those most beautiful flowers they could find. They took them back home and planted them in a garden they had prepared just for these special flowers. They made sure to provide fresh water and enough sunlight for their seeds. It was going to be the most beautiful garden in the world. Every few days a new flowers would bloom one after the other.
One day a visitor had came by and saw the garden and noticed how flowering weeds were growing amidst the planted flowers. He asked, "why haven't you removed the weeds from this garden"?
The monks responded. "because we never saw them".
Let me tell you another story....
There once was an old tree that had rotted and died. It stood in the middle of a great field. It's bark had turned white from exposure and many of it's once great limbs had been broken of from the savage winds.
"Why don't you cut that tree down?" asked the young boy to his father. "It is ugly and old, and dead."
The father took his son by the hand and walked with him out to the old rotten tree. As they approached a few birds flew from a hole in the side. A squirrel scampered out from a deep crevice at the bottom. Holes adorned the outside of it from woodpeckers.
"Look at this old tree." His father began. "Even though it's life has ended, it still provides life within itself. The birds and squirrel have a safe home. The bugs eat the dead wood for survival. Woodpeckers come to feed on those bugs. And life continues. There is beauty in life, there is beauty in death. It's accepting that truth that is hard."
The boy smiled. "So this tree is like Jesus. He lived for a great time. He gave life and even when he had to leave he still gives life. And look." the boy said pointing to the sapling growing from the ground. "Even now, He's still with us to become great once more."
"But it's not just the tree that will be great." His father added. "It's us."
yeah, I told you I suck at short stories....I'm a novel writer and only occasionally have made a few sappy children's books. But anyway, I smile. Because if you have ever read my deviantart.com journal you know that things are bound to get even better. So bear with me. It's not dark enough outside yet.
On another note....because people seem to be tempted to cause drama. If anyone decides they want to bash my friends over some nit-picking crap you are uneducated about I will slap you upside the head to knock some sense into you. Go read a book about Zen and learn something useful for once. Be happy and give of yourself. Because if you were 'educated' you would already very well know that we are all God's children. He made us kings, not slaves. We are meant to reign, but also to humbly be a servant of our people. When you give of yourself, you are giving the gifts of God.
Oh, and go watch V for Vendetta. Learn to love God and his people, not just the ones that match your opinions and follow all the rules you think you know all about.
"It is I that has made you the way you are.
Don't ever think it is wrong.
It is your path.
It is your truth.
It is what My Love has brought you.

"Short story" by the Dodo Dots
Do not read PETA'a website stuff...all those things are real....and horrible.
Reminds me of a late night show I watched on HBO about 20 someodd years ago...yes, I'm that young. It was really bad and had people killing monkey's and throwing goats off of towers, and skinning cats alive...it was awful and it scarred me for life.
Hence the reason I am an animal advocate, although I don't always have the time, money, or energy to 'save' them...at least not all of them. I try when I can.
Bad stuff and I hate clicking on those peta links, because I already know too much of what goes on...sad.
Today we will discuss judging. Yeah, you know what that is.
Let me tell you a version of how it works....
You make opinions for yourselves based on a situation or person. Then you build on those opinions and naturally find like-minded ideas and other's opinions that fit in with your own opinion. Then you build on that. Then before you know it everything is so surmounted against whatever it was that you were judging, and therefore this leads you to believe that everything you think is true...(when in reality, it's still just your own building on your own opinion)...
Many things work this way, whether it be for a style of clothes, or music, or movies, or a person, a job, etc., etc....
Now afterwards...what happens? ....Yes, you will eventually be judged by those same standards....
Now, let me tell you a story.....
Once there was this girl. She had a great life with a few close friends. But oneday she heard on the radio a song that sounded awful. She disliked everything about it, the sound, words, tone, and the awful singing...and the band was called the "Dodo Dots". So she decided that this band sucked as bad as their song and refused to listen to them anymore. Her friends also stated they too disliked their songs.
A few years pass. Oneday while she was driving she heard a new song on the radio...this song sounded different, it sounded nice so she turned it up and listened to the lyrics. The words sounded just like something that she had recently been dealing with in her life and she pulled over and cried, because the song made her 'feel' something that she had been avoiding. The song ended and she went home to look up the song so she could hear it again....and there it was on her screen... "Dodo Dots"...
"But I hate the "Dodo Dots". She said to herself.....But she listened to the song again and cried again. Then by chance she clicked on another song of theirs....it too was as perfect as the first....She bought the cd.
Her friend had come over and heard the new songs playing and asked about it. The girl told her who it was and the friend said..."Oh, I hate the "Dodo Dots". The girl felt sad that her friend still lived in the past...still hated the old things but never moved forward listening to the new....and so after feeling sorry for missing out on the bands many songs she ended up loving, she decided to never judge again, because she never wanted to miss out on another beautiful thing.
Yeah, so I'm bad at writing short stories....
Also, has it ever occurred to anyone that perhaps maybe it is yourself who ends up being the judge...you know what I mean (probably not) but I'm talking about those times when you feel that you are worthless and lost. times when you think you can do nothing right. Times when you are your own worst enemy....... call it karma...but I think we just may judge ourselves sometimes far worse than God would....And I think we may love ourselves far less than what God does.
Think about that. Maybe we just bring all of our own strife upon ourselves. Everything we do to others, to us it will be done.....though it's very hard to recognize it.
BTW, I used to hate the band "Train"....I'm sorry. I kinda like them now....it's pitiful that I feel bad about it now. So nowadays I just love everything, because all things will be made perfect...if you can't love it now, you will be hurting come that day you see God in them and had denied them....
Open your eyes, minds, hearts, whatever......
I'm feeling totally misunderstood today. So if you don;t get it, I don;t care. If you don;t like it, I don;t care. If you don;t care, I don;t care. And this button ; I don';t care that I have a habit of hitting it instead of the correct one '.... ugh.
Some education for the day..... nope...take the day off, we are....I don;t think I like the name of this blog anymore....hmmm. Maybe I can change it.
