There are many signs which this big rock we call home gives us, the animals for instance.. if you observe them, you can get many clues as to the rhythm of the earth . But trust this, she is NOT going to give up all her secrets. :) My little mischievous Dennis the menace squirrels worked super hard this summer.. I knew this winter was going to be different. And it has been. This is not bad, it is normal. When this earth stops changing that means she is dead. A few people I know have seen a rainbow colored Halo around the moon lately. There are a great many different beliefs and fun folk lore about this, and it is soo pretty to behold. I go with instinct and personal experience on various things, and this is especially one of them. A rainbow halo around the moon I take seriously. I saw one in 2004.. it was a late July Blue moon and we went to st Augustine beach to see it, That moon had everY color around it soo beautiful .. that same year and carrying into the following year, the weather was insane. A conga line of Hurricanes all summer (every weekend) the Indonesian Tsunami followed then into the next season ole Trina ( Katrina ) A bunch of Greek tragedies in between.. The earth went a little nuts. Paired with spiritual predictions we are gonna have to be very patient with mother nature right now because she, like every living thing, go's through her phases and has her moods. We see these as the planet raging and beating us up.. she sees it as business as usual.
Blessed are you, Source of Life, Who helps us to bring Light where there is darkness, Healing where there is brokenness, and Peace to all of the earth’s inhabitants. Please pray with me, lift our thoughts collectively in the spirit of love, for the devastated people affected by the tragic earthquakes in Haiti. May God...'s mercy and light abundantly be theirs in this, their time of dire need... Amen
This is an old Gypsy prayer translated by a loyal and trustworthy friend. Morning prayer of the Gypsy. Preserve the morning sunrise! God Almighty save preserve it. because all blessings of nature give me joy. Bless the wind and the sun! Bless the rain, clouds, stars and the moon! Bless all of the power of the water and earth, Bless the air and fertile ground! May beauty and health infuse the bread I break at my table! May it be multiplied! May the universe embrace me. May the 4 elements: Earth, Water, Fire and Air, give me the necessary strength for my difficulties in life. May my paths be open today and always, With all the purity of the elemental and Angelic messengers of God. Amen
This is my petition to congress to take a zero tolerance stand in their legislative agendas concerning all crimes against children.
Zero Tolerance Policy We are in a crisis in our state (Florida). Our youth is under attack. The sickos are not scared. I would like our law enforcement agencies as well as our law makers on all levels to examine why that is, and to respond accordingly. I propose that there be a zero tolerance policy in place for all offenders who commit crimes against children, it is a known fact within our medical frame that pedophilia/violent tendencies against children is an INCURABLE disease. There is no rehabilitating them. I suggest a life sentence for any one found guilty of harming a child in any way. And this would be served in GENERAL population, NOT in segregated areas for their 'protection' they feel safe enough as it is obviously bc they are not deterred. Our children do not have the security of feeling safe, why should a POS maggot child molester? I know this is a broad spectrum. But we must become pro active and realize that Florida is NOT paradise, and we must get defensive on every single level. Life without any possibility of parole for any forms of violent crime against children, and death penalty where it applies ( like the recent heinous murder of 7 year old, child Somer Thompson) and other similar cases. I agree with a local law enforcement officer here (name undisclosed) and his thoughts on unblurring the lines between classifications of offenders. Assessing the threat level of registered offenders and classifying them as such (for instance a 19 year old who dates a 17 y/o as opposed to someone who raped a 2 y/o) will give us a clearer picture of where our highest risk offenders are when these situations occur. As it stands now there is no difference in how they are categorized. We must sort them out so that we know and have a clearer picture of each 'known' offender in our community, and classify them accordingly, as this will make our law enforcement structure work with faster efficiency in situations like this. I have some super creative thoughts on what would happen to these degenerates if I were at the helm for a day, but this is not the case and we must restructure how we deal with predators. We must as a state declare war on this malignant problem, and make it an A # 1 top priority in our legislation agendas. Immediately.
Law enforcement officials as well as our Judiciary system work within the framework of laws which are in place, and its the law makers, our elected officials whom represent us and our needs and interests that are at the groundwork of this system. We mus t untie our judiciary and law enforcers HANDS and make our LAW MAKERS understand that they work for US. WE the PEOPLE, the VOTING public are at the nucleus of this and we do have more power than we might think, and if they want our votes they HAVE to accommodate us. We put them there, and they need our feedback,we must compel them to address this unacceptable and more importantly ACT on this monumental problem at once. Please take a moment and sign my petition to congress, to compell lawmakers to put ALL child offenders away for life. http://www.petition2congress.com/2/2553/zero-tolerance-violent-crime-against-children/

More and more I hear the 'buzz'... Phrases like, ' These are the worst times for humanity' and 'Things are just getting worse and worse', and my personal favorite ' We are living in our last days'. These ideas have been used since the beginning of humans to scare and sometimes even manipulate people.
This is nothing new , every generation of people have had their tragedies. Suffering is nothing new to our species. Same tragedies, different dates.
Genocide,epidemics, famine, oppression, economic repression, war, asteroids, natural disasters, man made travesties, slavery, death, disease, the Spanish inquisition for crying out loud.. ALL OLD NEWS.
The dinosaurs were 'living in their last days'' too .
But this big crusty rock we call home is still here and still hosts life. Its round.. isn't thatt a coincidence. SO is the circle life! Ups and downs, just like the history of our existence. Solomon said ' Theres nothing new under the sun' and hes right. Its all old conditions with new dates and so now its on you tube.. so what ?Its the same dam story lol
When you live in close proximity with other human beings there will be many times that you will offend each other. Families inevitably hurt each other from time to time. Saying "I'm sorry" are the two words that can repair your relationship. Without apologies the bad feelings are allowed to grow until eventually they grow into something so big and ugly that it is almost impossible to repair. It is difficult to humble ourselves and admit that that we may have made a mistake. However, when you think about the repercussions of not making a simple apology, you will realize that its worth the effort.
You must ask yourself sometimes, would you rather be right? Or be Happy because sometimes there just cant be both. How can you ever hope to learn humility if you are so busy being 'righteous' all the time. Now that is your choice, and it is totally your right to be how ever you want. But so do others. This is a double edged sword. And if you cant stop being 'right' then what can you really hope to contribute to any relationship?
What separates evolved people from obtuse souls, is their ability to embrace everything about themselves, including their mistakes. And take the knowledge gained into the furute with a firm resolve to never make this mistake again. Until you are there, an apology is useless. Because you are still entirely too obsessed with being right.
If you are able to really identify what went wrong, assume responsibility for your part in the error, and actually feel and express your regret.. then you are ready to consider apology .. the needed step to eventually bring the ugliness to its conclusion.
Terminally Ill Man Baptized in Hospital Birthing Tub After Giving His Life to Jesus John Jalsevac (August 2, 2009) "I want to share a story with you that touched so many lives this morning—and perhaps one of the most profound things I"ve been privileged to witness. This morning had a profound impact on more than our patient. Each and every one of us who was privileged to be there felt blessed." (Suffolk, Virginia)—Last week a baptism occurred at a Sentara Obici Hospital. That in itself may not be so unusual, but the fact that the baptism happened in a birthing tub to a 48-year-old man is extraordinary. That man, John Andrew "Andy" Chaney, is now in the presence of His Lord Jesus Christ. Birthing bath baptism As reported in the Suffolk-Herald, the terminally ill Chaney had given his heart to Jesus a month earlier. A medical emergency prevented him from getting baptized as he had desired. But because of the "faith and faithfulness of family, friends, nurses, a pastor and others who had come into contact with Mr. Chaney in recent weeks," they were able to baptize Chaney the day before he died. (Photo by R.E. Spears III) Notes the report: "Hospital staff put him in a birthing chair and wheeled him to the third-floor women's center, where the small birthing room had been prepared. With people crammed into the room and spilling into the hallway, McCarter delivered a brief message that concentrated on the symbolism of what was taking place. Then with the help of several people...Mr. Chaney was baptized." "The symbolism of that was so dramatic," said Pastor Stewart McCarter. "It was like God was saying, 'This is Me doing this.'" "I cried through the whole thing," said Chaney's wife, Susan. "When he came up out of the water, he gave a thumbs up." "I want to share a story with you that touched so many lives this morning—and perhaps one of the most profound things I"ve been privileged to witness," wrote Phyllis Stoneburner, Obici's vice president of patient services, in an e-mail to Sentara's corporate office. "This morning had a profound impact on more than our patient. Each and every one of us who was privileged to be there felt blessed."
These are the special 'cases' in our lives. These people play various roles in our walk of carnal life.. They can be anyone really.. You love them and you just cant resist but try to help them... and you are patient with them because you are empathetic and understand that we all have our trials and tragedies. You are emotionally vested in their success and you are there to steady them when they stumble.. these people become quite co-dependent sometimes! In between you charitable feelings toward the universe, there's a lot to do. YOU have an existence to tend to as well. YOURS. Now I'm not implying that we should just shut out the world and just do you ( Ok in some cases this is exactly what I prescribe i am not gonna even lie lol) But in real life we are presented with these people all the time, no matter what the climate of our life currently is like. SO what do we do with them.. we have talked to them, we have been there for them, we have counseled them and listened patiently to them and offered support and encouragement. We don't want to boot them off the island bc we like them. Sometimes we LOVE them. I dunno, I know that people are presented to the faithful all the time for purpose of spiritual or psychological health ( Like you might gain some good thoughts from a sympathetic eye that your soul needs at the time or moment) but sometimes this line is very blurry... I think in these cases, its our responsibility to the soul in question to pray for them.. but its also our responsibility to our own spirit to look out for the well being of our OWN existence. The answer in my view is .. turn them loose and be there if they fall.. and be there if they soar! Just send them away with blessings and good tidings! now enjoy the peace and make it a priority. :)
Have u guys noticed lately that there is a over abundance of chatter within the world 'speculating' how the end i near and the excruciating details of it is all gonna go down? And on TV, there is a sickening barrage of shows talking about all the ways wich ' WERE GONNA DIE ANY MINUTE. The truth is that your truly loves this world and loves life. I... Read More don't plan to check anytime soon. But, it is not up 2 me. It is up to my creator. I go where he stations me. Period. If planet X, or 2012 or the flaming fireball, or nuclear winter or any other creative way in which MORTAL man imagines we are gonna agonizingly die..I don't want to know. If its coming its coming, I don't run things so there really isn't a dam thing I can do. If God wants me hes taking me and that's that. BUT WHY THE HECK do I want to sit here and scrutinize the gory details of how its gonna happen and ruin MY last few days with it? How STupid! I'm here now and I am alive and that's what I spend my time caring about.
