As I lay back wondering What I need to know about love

The thunder begins chattering

As I sit on edge thinking there is an answer to my wondering

The thunder bickers loudly

As i sit in peril waiting for a voice to come alive in the dark of the night

the thunder rolls

The complications get stronger than expected tonight

The fears of where a path is leading

Souls united are suddenly ripped at the core

My fuse is lit now and I’m standing in the rain

This is not mercy or covering my pain

its a thunder rolling

Time to fight and give it more

More of what?

I am not sure why the sky shouts in fury

It happens as a result the heat and the cold

Between you and me which is which?

Does is matter who smiles and who stings like a bee?

We are what we are

Though the battle is everlasting in the world of love

Tear drops hit the pavement like a meteor shower shimmer

The deepest of the night is drawn out from absence of sunM

i recently read a pin that said something of this likeness,

“Intelligent people don’t need the promise of heaven to know how to do good things.” 

after reading some of it’s responses it got of people arguing between being a person of good faith and someone who is atheist. I felt compelled to share for those intelligent folks who really haven’t taken their time to understand the truth to God’s promises. You may behave well, and you may have gone to college. It saddens me to think how much life you are still missing. If your main concern is to prove that you are in intelligent person and you do good things. I hope that they realize that there is so much more to life than being mediocre. We are called to be the best version of ourselves everyday. Someone who is wise will live their life doing righteous acts of goodness. Out of the fullness from our heart we reflect the joy and love our Lord gives to us. A fool will do acts of kindness because it’s what their intellect will tell them what is right and wrong and seek their reward when they choose what is good. I remember that life very well. Even when I did things because I knew I was right. I expected that it would lead me to happiness. Without the presence of God I was doing things that left me feeling empty. Sure back then I could say that I didn’t need his promise to help me make the right decisions. Today I am blessed to let him use me as a vessel to display the work he wants me to do. not because I want to do it to make me happy, but to praise him for allowing me to be alive. It is more than that even. Just seek and you will find, ask and you will receive, knock and Faith will unlock the door.

So inspired by the changing of tides that it has given me hope again. I was lost for so many years in my own choices to live in the shadow of my worst fears. The fear that proved to be real was only given life by my decision to submit to it’s grasp. Before that fateful day took place. I knew that my background and genetic makeup would have a huge impact on the choice to walk through the darkest valley’s. It was also natural law to be drawn in by emotions that govern one of the human response to heartbreak. Millions of people experience a level of heartbreak to their own design. I knew that heartbreak was unavoidable. I knew it would cut me deeply and I knew by my own experiences of the past how I would react. I believe that it is necessary to go through the valley’s. It is a true test that is ordained by the Almighty. My reactions are very quick at times, at others my reactions are slow and thoughtful. I learn to ask for forgiveness and ask for guidance to be slow to anger, swift to hear, and slow to speak. James 1:19 It is under the grace from God we can make a choice. Allow for me to formulate a response that will only empower me and the receiver. Many times my receiving end happens to be my daughter who is only 5. I know the difference and she knows the difference when I have made the wrong choice. Grace comes in and brings me mercy. It is an old habit and difficult to break, which is why it is still happening. Time and practicing the principles is an art form of life that will shape us into the humans we long to become.

Twenty top predictions for life 100 years from now

Paul Higgins: “Interesting “crowdsourcing” and assessment process by the BBC :

“Last week we asked readers for their predictions of life in 100 years time. Inspired by ten 100-year predictions made by American civil engineer John Elfreth Watkins in 1900, many of you wrote in with your vision of the world in 2112.

Many of the “strange, almost impossible” predictions made by Watkins came true. Here is what futurologists Ian Pearson (IP) and Patrick Tucker (PT) think of your ideas.”

I sometimes try to imagine what it would be like in 100 years. When my daughter who is 4 now, may have kids of her own. What will life be like for them? I want to leave something for them. A legacy to build on.

It’s like sustaining a beautiful dead mare on life support. No one wants to see her go. Even in the rare case she awoke she’d suffer great damages.

The simplest women could say the simplest of things to make him laugh and smile out of joy. Just like a child in a toy store. So when I try, why does he look at me like a bird confined in a cage made of blades and chainsaws? Why can’t it be so simple for me?
