The Real War

We are in a battle, a fierce battle, whether you realize it or not. Our enemy, although unseen, is very real. His name is Satan. He hates you and wants to destroy everything good in your life.

Think about it. In the world today there are children having their body parts removed because “they feel like they’re in the wrong body.” There are people who loudly praise this behavior, and we allow them to get away with it because they are doing it in the name of “freedom.” I call bullshit on this one. Where are the parents??? And what about the physicians who perform the surgery? Misleading a child is the most heinous thing you can do.

Our food supply is poisoning us through additives, fillers and pesticides. The cellular structure in our bodies are being artificially altered. Evil people are instigating this in the name of “profits.” More bullshit.

Things do not have to be this way. Turn off the television. Educate yourself. Eat good foods free of chemicals. Exercise your mind and your body.

And don’t forget to pray. It’s your only defense in this ongoing war. And the demons can’t take it…

It’s Time

The Bible tells us that “faith without works is dead.” Dead. That’s a very strong word, yet the author, James, is speaking the truth. He goes on to say “you believe in God?” Good. Even the demons believe and they shudder.”

Our faith (and hope) gets activated when we are in crisis mode. We cry out to God to “help me” and we believe He will. In those moments of desperation we turn to the one source who can do something. Why aren’t we speaking to God when things are going well, too? If we believe He will help us in chaos, then we should know He will guide us during peaceful times. Let’s ask God to activate our faith and to help us make a difference in this life. Passive faith is like having no faith at all.

It’s time to speak up and take a stand for what’s right. Our world is devolving at warp speed. It’s up to the believers to move the world forward and not let their voices be silenced. Stop just “going with the flow” while the world burns.

Don’t wait. Tomorrow it might be too late…

Angry

Have you noticed that people seem to be angrier than they have ever been? People are escorted off of airplanes due to incidents, road rage incursions are increasing, and people are protesting something every weekend. Bad things can happen when people allow their emotions to get out of control.

It’s not always wrong to get angry. I believe we should get angry when we witness injustice. If you harm a child then I am coming for you. Even though it’s protected by the First Amendment, it angers me when I see people burning the flag.

People are so stressed out nowadays. It costs way more to go to the grocery store than it did a year ago. The cost of insuring your car has risen 16.5% in one year, too. There seems to be no end in sight. Despair turns to fear and anger.

The best way to turn anger around is by practicing gratitude. Take inventory of all the good in your life. Do this regularly and watch how you change.

Being grateful changes the lens you see the world through…

Blogging

Blogging is fascinating to me. I suppose it intrigues me because I don’t understand how it works. One day I will have 600 views while the next day I have 12. Weird, huh?

The purpose of my blog is to, hopefully, make you think. The usual theme is inspirational because I know the world is hurting, and I’m just trying to help. It is heartbreaking to see people struggle.

The world is hard, sometimes cruel, and we need to be reminded to look for the light…

Charisma

Charisma is defined as “compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.” Being referred to as charismatic is quite a compliment.

How does a person become charismatic? I believe it begins with just being yourself. People who are comfortable with themselves and don’t feel the need to act like someone they’re not are genuine. They are a pleasure to be around. You can differentiate between authentic people and fakes.

Stay true to yourself, work through past trauma, and refuse to change colors for the crowd. Then you will be charismatic…

Reception

There are still many “dead zones” where it’s difficult to get good cell phone service. The reception is sketchy if it’s available at all.

How receptive do you consider yourself to be when presented with new ideas and information? I believe most of us would consider ourselves to be open minded. After all, think of what life would be like if we still lived in the Stone Age. We evolved because of our curiosity and implementation.

Elon Musk has been successful on many fronts. He thinks differently so he sees new solutions to longstanding problems. Einstein was the same way. Ford, too.

I encourage you to take a 360 degree approach to life’s challenges. Doing things the same way we’ve always done them might not be the best way.

Think differently…

When Darkness Comes

The easy times in life don’t last. Too bad, huh? But it’s good to remember that the dark, difficult periods don’t last forever, either.

If you are currently experiencing a challenging situation, I encourage you to hang in there. Take solace in knowing that your resilience is being tested. Strength is built during the hard times, not when life is easy. You will come through if you refuse to give up. Your resolve will be like steel.

Dark periods can feel like we are in a tunnel with no end in sight. Look for the light. It may only be a pin dot, but it’s always there…

Help Is On The Way

Everywhere on the internet we see pictures of people memorializing the events in their lives. I think it’s wonderful to see people experiencing great travel, personal victories, and I can’t leave out the back to school pictures. We should celebrate life’s special moments.

We are given a certain amount of time in this life. I believe we all want a lot of the same things: to live life fully and live freely. We want to live in safe neighborhoods and not feel like we have to look over our shoulders every time we go out. If you have these things, take a brief moment to thank your Creator. Not everyone in the world lives like everyone else.

If we are able, we should help those who are less fortunate. Otherwise we are making it about ourselves. Living selfishly is not living fully…

Liked

Is it important to you that you are liked? I believe we all want acceptance more than anything. It is the rare few who will accept us as we are. Those people are a treasure.

I am reading a book right now about how a young woman learned about God. She was homeless at 15, a drug addict, lost in this world. Yet, through a sequence of events only God could orchestrate, she found acceptance by a family. The family had two rules: she had an 11:00 pm curfew and she had to go to church with them. She agreed, mainly because she wanted a warm bed and some food.

In her rebellion, the girl would come downstairs wearing her pajama bottoms, fuzzy slippers and a hoodie with obscenities written on it. She was testing them. The mom never told her to change. She went to church and found people who genuinely were glad to see her. These people didn’t look at her with shame in their hearts. They accepted her.

It’s not important to me to be liked or accepted. I cannot control how others feel about me. But I will be truthful. Perhaps the truth is what some don’t want to accept…

Reagan

Yesterday I saw the newly released biopic “Reagan.” The story of Ronald Reagan’s life was told by a retired KGB agent played by Jon Voight. You might think of tax cuts and Iran-Contra when you remember Reagan. I think of the fall of the Soviet Union.

Communism is alive and well-funded still today. Communism was founded by Marx and Engels in the 1840’s. On the surface, Marxism sounds like an ideal world. “Everyone prospers,” they tell you. But they lie. Your freedom of speech, freedom to worship wherever you like, freedom to live your life peacefully and go wherever you want are all controlled by the state. Neighbor spies on neighbor as well as their family and friends. Instead of prosperity you have paranoia.

We are always one generation away from losing the freedoms that many people shed their blood for. And don’t be fooled, socialism is “communism light.” It will sneak up on you if you aren’t paying attention. One minute you’re celebrating Christmas and the next minute you’re thrown in jail for saying, “Merry Christmas.”

Don’t take freedom for granted. Thousands died in the Revolutionary War so we can live freely today…
