Pathways

  Ephesians 2:10 For we (who are BELIEVERS in the Mighty God of Heaven) are His workmanship, Created in Christ Jesus for GOOD works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Do you realize that EVERY person on this planet has the perfect plan for their life embedded within them by God?  He masterfully designed each and every step that we should take…as we traveled down the narrow pathway that leads to our Heavenly Father’s plan for our life…finding Jesus and accepting Him as our Lord and Savior. Unfortunately, for millions of individuals…they have stepped off God’s pathway that is paved with His TRUTH, POWER, HOPE, LOVE…and the only road that leads to Heaven…Jesus.  They chose to jump on a road filled with potholes, roadblocks…that eventually ends up leading them off a cliff…where they free-fall into a place where there is no hope of rescue…or, an opportunity of Salvation at that crucial moment. Are you a  FOLLOWER of the King of Kings, the Lord of...

Before God turns off the lights

    God made man, man made religion, and religion made theology!  Loosely defined, theology is the understanding of Theo, which is loosely defined as God, a God, or many Gods. That is that attempt to understand something you have previously defined as beyond all understanding. And it that doesn’t define crazy I’m not a white boy from Austin.    The usual path to this understanding is some holy book, arbitrarily defined as scripture. And scripture can be a “holy” work, the “Holy Bible,” “Holy Qu’ran” “Holy Book of Morman,” or anything deemed to have been given by “holy” inspiration to men by some psychological means not fully understood by the minds of men. The Karma Sutra cannot be holy because it involves women to an unsettling degree, and if there’s one thing that will make a holy man unholy it’s an unholy woman. The usual remedy for an unholy woman is to have her stoned. In Biblical times the offending woman was stoned after the act and in the modern era they...

Microracism

Image
  Micro racism is the standard. Hear me out!  Groups that are grouped no matter how similar they may appear on the outside, will develop and express the differences they have in a way that diminishes the micro subgroup to the  amusement of the larger group. This is standard in all regions of earth and makes the transition to the global scale with ease which tends to unite regions that would normally pick on their own people.  If we consider this behavior is universally true throughout all of humanity, we could assmue that it is a natural function of correcting society. It is natural for people to want to advance their group, a self interest in efficiency and longevity survival plan. When it is neighborly it can serve as good advice and a helping hand. Across borders it can be criticizing laws and practices.  Racism is not the same as discrimination. A person can be racist and still work with you. A hateful person would rather die than get help from you. Hateful ...

Do You Believe in Mother?

Image
  In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.” “Nonsense,” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?” The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.” The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.” The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.” The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover, if there is life, then why ...

The Unanswered Door

  NewBaby positioned the panel on the closet wall. Three staples, and it was secure.  Then another, and another until the little room was covered in all new wood. Then, the carpet. Seaming it into the bedroom carpet, it looked as one piece.    Now for the latch. Retrieving his deceased fathers’s drill, he meticulously drilled four tiny holes.  The latch had to be perfectly married to it’s counterpart so as to slide together with only a slight click.    Opening the can of stain, he took his sponge and put stain on it. Daddy has taught him to caress the stain on the surface, never use a brush because that would leave streaks and ridges. Stain must appear to be the natural state of the wood, not artificial.    The tools scattered all around the floor had belonged to his dad, Sergeant Joseph Tarajos. Five years before Agent Orange had taken him home. Each Christmas Joe would go into his wood shop and make toys for his “Buddies.”   ...

Rules of Life to Die For

Image
  Keep only friends who appreciate you, not the ones who tolerate you. If they don’t appreciate you DEpreciate  them  and find new ones. If you can’t find new ones, that’s OK. At least you took the garbage to the curb.    Never keep people around just because they’re family. This especially applies to foul-mouthed grandkids.    Never let someone see how many cigarettes you have when they ask for one. You’re just enabling.    It is written that you should not commit adultery, but I tell you that even if you lust after a woman at least make it a hot one since the price is the same.    If a woman tells you that you will always be a friend be sure to request separate checks.    Never remarry an ex-wife. That’s a quick way to own fifteen percent of yourself.    Never take any sudden discovery of a new scientific, political, or medical theory before checking to see if it’s clickbait.    If you see something t...
