You are the epitome of GODLY elegance

You are the epitome of GODLY elegance

You emanate with great radiance: wisdom, intelligence, grace

Your dress is comely--classy and elegant--not "marketing and advertising"-not neither painted on nor excessively revealing

You are so polished and lovely--I adore you so

You are so beautiful, not merely in the physical, but most importantly in The Spirit and in the mind

I am so blessed that GOD would choose you for me and, that you would have and submit in GODLY grace to me, my Wife, my love, my most cherished friend, and confidant here on earth

If I, if we, had only been more obedient and disciplined

If I, if we, had only been more obedient and disciplined...

If I, if we, had only been more obedient and disciplined, the hurts and pains of life would have been far fewer.

Some disappointments would never had occurred as the ill-fated decisions which brought about their necessary existence would have been voided--causality, irrefutable causality.

The consequences of disobedience: chastening hurt and pain...

We must grow into obedience, in all aspects of our lives--complete surrender--so that we may receive all of GOD'S desired blessings, and experience less of our poor decision's negative consequences--sad disappointing hurts and pains.

The temporary pleasure we derive from sin, will never outweigh the blessings GOD desired to bless us with if we had rather chosen to be obedient and disciplined.

True Love--GODLY LOVE, for HE IS LOVE, first requires

     True Love--GODLY LOVE, for HE IS LOVE, first requires, HONESTY, with ONES SELF, AND THEN TRANSPARENCY WITH OTHERS. 

     Thus, why we do not often witness, nor experience it. For most are unable to first, be honest with themselves.  

     I read somewhere, "The worst thing about being lied to, is simply knowing, you weren't worth the truth."  I regrettably was unable to discover the author, and the quote was attributed to, anonymous. 

     Despite my inability to discover the author, I think we all can agree, these are some of the truest and most painful words ever spoken, and yet, this offense--the offense of lying--is so often committed.

     Thus, even more so why we must strive to live in adherence to GOD and HIS word, “Thou shalt not lie…,” so that we may attain honesty with self and then transparency with others, as GOD sees all anyway.

That children need to carry bulletproof-backpacks…

      I just viewed on the News that a company has begun to sell a bulletproof-backpack for school-aged children.

     That children need to carry bulletproof-backpacks to school is both appalling and heart-wrenching! That a child has to be quote, “educated”, about a potential assault upon them, or that said vile assault will take their life, or that let alone this may occur while they are at school truly shows how evil our world has become and depraved and degenerated and void of GOD and HIS ways  we as a society have become.

     That a child has to be quote, “educated” about any of these at all both saddens and angers me.

     Do our precious children not deserve to live in a world that is quote, “safe”? Do our precious children not deserve to grow up and live their lives, and to fulfill their callings and become all that they can be?

     Oh that's right, we adults kill one another over drugs, money and materialistic possessions (greed), and fornication and adultery (lust).

     Some will say stating the prior I should not be shocked that the carnality has spilled over to our children.

     I AM CRYING AS I WRITE THIS AND YES, I AM ANGRY AND APPALLED!

GOD please help us!
