To Simplify Things

I've thought about this for quite some time and hopefully this will add to understanding what Guilt+Gratitude=Attitude means:
Accountability+Appreciation=Entitlement.
As usual, I'm sure there will still be many who are still in the dark about this.

Dealing With The Kid

There were times when my Father would be at the brink... and he'd just say, "OK, buddy... you'll see." Every time I screw up... I'm reminded of his words.
Of course my Mom was always threatening to, "... fix my wagon." I've learned a lot about that wagon. It's not about the wagon itself as how much I've tried to haul in it.

Satan? I Can't.

God gave us free will... to choose right from wrong. He... not we... created evil. What ever was written after that about heaven and hell was based on what we needed to maintain the concepts of choosing right from wrong... the rewards and the punishment. Why would God allow a, "Lucifer" to come into power just so he could banish him to the depths of Hell. God didn't write that... we did.
God must have a great sense of humor as he laughed at us when we created a "Satan." We created evil... we created sin. To me.. God is not a myth, I've believed in Him all my life and I'm not about to mess with Him. On the other hand, I can't believe He would create a "Satan" as His adversary... just to mess with me. I don't need to blame a "Devil" for making me do something wrong or the idea that such a, "Demon" is waiting to punish me for my poor choices.
You play here you pay here. Yo Satan if thee truly exists... thou can kisseth my Ass!!!

What's About Time

Our lives are about time...
We made it.
We can make more!
We can take more!

We can spend it, lend it,
set it when things are due...
and in the nick of it too.
Just because we created it,
we'll do... when we do.

Hours and minutes?
Give or take a few...
we're all in the same boat
when it's up, take note...

Moment by moment even
just to see us through!
It's a man made system...
our special kettle of stew.

A Lost Holy Saturday

Today, as God sleeps... the world weeps.
It creeps closer to what it must reap.
Tomorrow awake with Him and...
thank "Jim" for taking a wife...
giving us life.

Commit no more,
"No one's a whore!"
It's not about me or about you.
What comes next ...isn't just a "text"
It's what's in store and in stone.

We arrive one by one...
and we leave all alone.

"What's On My Mind"

Love... the straight cut pieces that border the jigsaw puzzle of life.
And with those pieces we set the limitless boundaries of life and the love of it.

"What's On My Mind"

Life is an "Amazement Park"... an almost ceaseless ride of emotional events.
