Most of these writings are just things that have popped into my head at one time or another. Some of these writings are years old, some a day old. For most of my life I’ve been afraid to let my true feelings out and have hidden them from the outside world for fear of being ridiculed.

Or has society succeeded in transforming us all into robots? The fast paced, uncaring, dog eat dog lifestyle we are being forced into is in essence turning us into Cyborg-like creatures.

I watched the clouds, the ants at my feet, the birds flying by. There were two little lizards running around as if playing a game of tag.

It’s not in our similarities but in our differences that make us unique and give us true worth. Imagine how boring life would be if every one was the same. Yet, for some strange reason people who are out of the ordinary, or who have an unusual idea or way of doing things are often chastised and ridiculed.

The church would not pressure or guilt anyone into making donations, or make people feel they need to give more, to get more.

Some of us have a hard time admitting we’re wrong. How many relationships has this cost us? Even if it may not have caused the total loss of a relationship I’m certain it’s caused some animosity and lessened the relationship in one way or another.

Without the support of others it is extremely difficult to accomplish what you would like to.

God asked the dog why he was chasing the cat, to which the dog replied “it’s my natural instinct to chase cats.” The Lord went on to tell the dog and cat that he never instilled such a negative reaction in them and that they could live a much more peaceful and happy life if they just chose to get along.

I tell them all the time, no matter what they do or what happens, I love them. It may sound corny but I never want them to question if they’re loved.
