Stay Close

   Respecting to the others who do believe in God, but the notion or luxury of denying 'faith' is not ours......in the words of a respected elder....."if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything" (Malcolm X). Not to offend the bright side is that so many believe there are many towards the same light. It is scientifically and historically true in past epochs how so much lined up during the same time period. This history, facts, archeology etc in themselves are no coincidence(s). 

   An old friend (an ordained Buddhist monk) made a statements to me years ago which he could just as much posed as question, the compass is now readjusting not just form myself but the global community of mankind: "you are so far away from the church".

Revised St. Francis Prayer - Reposting

 Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. 

Where there is hatred, let me bring love.

Where there is offense, let me bring innocence.

Where there is conflict & drama, let me bring unity.

Where there is error, let me bring truth.

    Where there is doubt & indecision, let us bring faith.

Where there is pain, let us bring healing.

Where there is darkness, let us bring light.

Where there is sadness, let us bring joy.

    O Lord, grant I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved as to love,

for it is in forgiving that one is forgiven

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned

it is in accepting Jesus, the Christ that

 one awakens to a new eternal life.

Amen.

Fall Rant 2025

     Work it out...with or without....today I choose never alone. Afraid of everything these days, some matters might not be all happy go lucky. With volunteerism and or leadership the goal is not always money.... when advised by a person they do not want to be onstage; that's not antisocial that individual is indicating a calling and motivation which is their own. My personal experience is occasionally a person will do opposite of what you express when you are clear. Is this to get a reaction or another approach? Clarity can be viewed as a gift. WE do not have time to purposely confused anyone on their path especially when based on faith, honor or integrity. Not new nor bygone ideas.  Whatever age or generation ….change or stagnation.....lets move forward. Just a fall season rant typos included. Peace, love and unity.
