Today's post is sponsored by Me. Because I pay for this website, and I also built it.

Working on a new strategy, pointing out the obvious maxxing.

I feel the need to do this because it really does feel like so many people are asleep. I have been dealing with a situation at work more recently that has caused me,.. not sure exactly what the word is but in a way I am caught up between a few different possibilities and at the end of the day it puts me in a situation to actually make a decision of who I want to be.

None of us leave here unscathed, we all get touched by life.

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid."

Why do I quote the Gospel of John? because when we have achieved true peace, when we have accepted the peace imparted upon us, and we operate out of FAITH, (to operate out of faith means to believe despite evidence otherwise or alternative perspective.) We are under the influence that are choices have meaning, and we can either move towards or away what we are aiming for.

to loop it back, i am recently faced with a situation where my loyalty is being tested, but maybe i am thinking about it more than those affected, because i have peace imparted upon me, i am obliged to follow my moral obligation, even if it brings me ruin, because my soul's keeping does not lie next to or wrapped in a dollar bill.

LOYALTY, is something that can not be bought. Love CAN NOT BE BOUGHT. What is love?!>? Self Sacrifice, Belief, Faith. Love is intangible, is Love malleable? I don't know. But Love is recognizable, Love is so familiar - you look at someone once and you've always known them. You can't explain it. Love is. Love will always be.

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it to the full. I am The Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the Shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away, then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is A HIRED HAND and cares nothing for the sheep."

What did you make of it

One of each per person per day. No account, no tracking.

Say your piece. It goes up right away; I sweep the room afterwards, and anything cruel or unlawful comes down.
