i mean, my goodness, where do i

START HERE:  if i hear about one more church leader calling homosexuals up for prayer or creating a small group to address this "sin"    i think i might lose my mind.   STOP IT.    -on what authority do i tell you..

but i tell you

in my 20's i was in contact with young (unevolved) punk men..   and their weekend entertainment involved going to san francisco to find and beat up homosexuals.   Hideous behavior!!   evil.

Please  -dear church leaders..     if you want to lead anyone..   if you want to call up anyone for prayer, or create a small group.. to address a "sin"

let it be people who have hard hearts; hate, violence, evil on their minds, in their behavior..

focus on fruits of the spirit...   help people manifest love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control.   period.

***

i repeat:  while the rest of the world cries about how awful the high divorce rate is..    there are still not enough divorces for me..     as long as we have married people who cheat on each other, who physically/mentally/emotionally abuse...    who live lies..    who are indifferent...   who behave/speak one way in front of..   and another behind a spouses back..          -all of this makes a mockery/joke of marriage   -get it write, or get out..     all of you who give marriage a bad name..  you are doing us no favors staying married on paper; but divorced in your hearts and minds and behaviors

***

and so, if you look inside our minds, our thoughts, we both do the same thing:  we take the argument to the extreme in our imaginations.  so, when i think about gun control..  my extreme goes to:   every place, every school, every home, every business everywhere needing bars on the windows, metal detectors, and every resident/business owner, teacher, employee needing to own and know how to  -under surprise attack; use it..   my mind/imagination sees everywhere like it is at airports write now..  and the safe, peaceful neighborhoods we currently enjoy (without bars, detectors, guns) going literally, totally extinct   (as it happened with airports)

but what Robert, (my very sexy) sees:  the extreme his imaginations go to, based on his knowledge of world history:    the very first thing a group, with long-term strategies for evil power/dominance/take-over territory goals..   the very first thing they do, is  -disarm the people..

once you have everyone disarmed..     now you can take over; and quickly, easily...

oh!  i am aware i have been over-chocolate-eating..  emotional eating..    trying to numb the sadness because one of my favorite co-worker friends has put in his two week notice...     my southpark-watchin'-joke-tellin'-bohemian-rhapsody-sign-language-singin'-all-around-wonderful-cashier-carry-out-excellent-customer-service- friend..

and, I've been through it over and over..  melissa, vanessa, erin, gerry..  rachel, austin, brad,   /long list actually, but.. "Anthony came back!!"

Shirley reminded me.. this place is just a stepping stone for the young people...

and i decided, i don't like being stepped on.  i am not made of stone.

***

i should have led with this:   /deduct daughter points..

"Happy 75th! to my most awesome, wonderful, one-line-groaner-joke-story-tellin'-macys-santa-dad!"

we will celebrate this sunday..   with his favorite blackened steak from palo alto..

and, re-watch the family video i  /that is my daughter; wink/wink..    made for him in 2001 (?)

***

i don't even need to watch it..  but my mom did tape something about one of joyce Meyer's guards..  turns out he was a lyin', cheatin, evil..  unevolved..    he murdered...   i don't even need to know the details.  what i do know is this:    how sad, he had that level of spiritual wisdom write there..

but if you read it, and do not APPLY it..

if you see it..   but IGNORE..       if you HEAR, but do not listen and learn and do...

if you do not put in the effort..  if you do not believe..      then, in the words of joyce meyer, "you open the door for the enemy"



everyone is under the influence of something/someone..    he was not under the influence of God, or the Bible, or any of Joyce Meyer's teachings, he was not under the influence of love, or any fruits of the spirit..  he was under the influence of ego, the enemy, evil..   very self-seeking; which love is not.

and that makes me think of the evil/scandal related to the catholic churches..   all those evil, self-seeking enemies of the church wearing fancy robes...     they had such access to wisdom.. it crossed their ears during sermons, it crossed their eyes in the pages of Bibles..  but they did not listen, learn or apply or believe..     their minds were pre-occupied with their next innocent victim..

***

this brings to mind:   a strange counter-intuitive truth:  you can have a righteous student result from a corrupt leader; and a corrupt student result from a righteous teacher    -as well as, the more intuitive truth:  righteous/righteous; corrupt; corrupt...

  -because

as the Bible teaches:    in Matthew 13..      /and, soil is to seed; as heart is to behavior

the heart and mind and soul..     if only..   the way we do,  reading, writing, arithmetic...

what leaps we could make;  leaps of faith;  toward our evolution...

***

 watched only in part  -the case for Christ; Netflix..   there is no desire in me; deep need to have proven..   

in my own life journey..  1966 to current; the common denominator for a variety of very good things:  Jesus.

ive witnessed people lose their entire lives/families destroyed by drugs/addictions..   and of the people ive personally known who successfully navigated out of addictions:   Jesus.

ive witnessed people who let upset/grudges take over their lives; their thinking; brewing, growing, permanently destroying a relationship(s);  and of the people who were able to let go; forgive; move on..     Jesus.

ive watched victims of evil and ill intention stay bitter, stay stuck, turn to addictions and lose their passion, joy for life..       and then a large number of people like Joyce Meyer, and myself,  -who reclaimed passion, joy..       credit:  Jesus

i could go on and on and on..    but the common denominator..   the track record...   THE RESULTS! ive experienced and witnessed..  

all the proof i'll ever need.

oh!  i cant wait to re-watch, so i can verbatim..    the description of capitalism..

***

close here by sharing one of my longer prayers.   and these days, i always hold the rock, my sexy gifted me, while i close my eyes and talk to Jesus

i cannot even count the number of heart(s) seen on that one rock!

anyway..   this is such a blend; hybrid..

but one change ive made over time, is that i no longer ever refer to Jesus, or God, as my father..

i always now say, my savoir      -i do this, because i have, in fact.. been saved.    i have existed in the pit..  i remember.   and so..   as a way of saying "thank you!"  every. single. day.

my savoir, who art in heaven; who put the holy spirit in me, holy honor to your name
    your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven

thank you for THIS DAY, and my every meal   (robert, my mom/rick..)
thank you for forgiving my debts, as i forgive any future debtors
thank you for forgiving my trespasses, as i forgive anyone who trespasses against me

         [i telepathically detail debts/trespasses from the prior day; usually misdemeanors; occasionally felonies]

lead me not into any kind of temptation; deliver me from every kind of evil

for thine is the kingdom, the glory, the power
yesterday, today, forever!

Thank you Jesus..   that no weapon formed against [us] will prevail; that any weapon anyone tries to use against [us] will be used to promote..

thank you Jesus, that our walk..     that everything [we] do, the people we associate with, befriend, help, love..

the decisions we make, the things we read, watch..

the way we forgive,

the vocabulary we use,

our ability to listen, hear..

our ability to be accountable for our mistakes..

our openness to correction; and imperviousness to petty.. to jealously..  to ill intention..

our use of time, energy, resources you provide..

our response/reactions to adversity; to loss; to unexpected challenges and setbacks; to trauma; to evil; to temptations

our gratitude, appreciation..   generosity of spirit

let everything Jesus..    through [ us ] spread everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of God.

Jesus..    4 point prayers for [names of people with health issues/challenges]

Jesus..     itemized names/specific prayer requests   -May God shine in, on, through..

Jesus..  itemized gratitude: Robert! ..family/friends, relationships, work, romance, verve, blog, camera..


and Thank You Jesus..   that it pleases you..   it delights you!  to verily bless, highly favor and awesomely anoint, those of [us] called unto your purpose
