(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
Our veterans' group will be raising awareness of PTSD this Memorial Day, May 28.

Memorial Day is set aside to remember those lost in our wars.
We should also remember those - military & civilian of all nations - who to a greater or lesser extent have been and are being lost to PTSD.

The following vid presents the WWI Suresnes American Cemetery in France.
The vid highlights the graves of twin sisters Dorothea and Gladys Cromwell.
Both served as American Red Cross civilian nurses in The Great War.
Both became victims of PTSD.



The following article relates the story of the sisters.



Lest We Forget......

Happy Memorial Day to my family and friends! Also, I wish a Happy Memorial day to all veterans who are serving their country, especially those who paid the ultimate price with their lives!

It's A Film About A Play About School Shootings.

I heard about it last night on a Coast To Coast AM radio program discussing school shootings.
The guest, Dr. Charles Simone, mentioned the play and claimed some 100+ people identified problems in their lives similar to those depicted in the play - and sought help.
It might be presumed that several school shootings were thus averted.
Perhaps more than by all other preventative measures - legislative and otherwise - combined.

Of course, this won't grab media headlines like a mass killing ("If it dies - it flies." "If it bleeds - it leads.") or stirring up controversy over Gun Control/Gun Rights.

Dr. Simone suggested the play be periodically staged/the film shown in every school in the U.S.

This first came up on sky's 'School Shootings' blog.
I felt it deserved a blog of its own.

You never know who's going to pop round for a cuppa.

Priceless!

God's Wife
IT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF


Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once
talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest

was to find the most caring child.

The winner was:

1. A four-year-old child, whose next door
neighbor was an elderly gentleman,

who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old
Gentleman's' yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said

to the neighbor, the little boy just said,

'Nothing, I just Helped him cry.'

2. Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were
discussing a picture of a family. One little boy

in the picture had a different hair color

than the other members. One of her
students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, 'I know all about
Adoption, I was adopted..'

'What does it mean to be adopted?',

asked another child.

'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew
in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'

3. On my way home one day, I stopped to
watch a Little League baseball game that was

being played in a park near my home.

As Isatdown behind the bench on the first-
base line, I asked one of the boys what the score

was? 'We're behind 14 to nothing,'

he answered with a smile.

'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you
don't look very discouraged.'

'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a
Puzzled look on his face...

'Why should we be discouraged?

We haven't been up to bat yet.'

4. Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot
in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.

Jamie was trying out for a part in the
school play. His mother told me that

he'd set his heart on being in it,

though she feared he would not be chosen..

On the day the parts were awarded, I went
with her to collect him after school

Jamie rushed up to her,
eyes shining with pride and excitement..

'Guess what, Mom,' he shouted,

and then said those words that will remain a lesson to
me...'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'

5. An eye witness account from New York
City , on a cold day in December,
some years ago: A little boy,
about 10-years-old, was standing before

a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted,

peering through the window, and shivering
With cold.

A lady approached the young boy and said,
'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!'

'I was asking God to give me a pair of
shoes,' was the boy's reply.

The lady took him by the hand, went into the store,

and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks
for the boy. She then asked if he could give her

a basin of water and a towel.

He quickly brought them to her.

She took the little fellow to the back
part of the store and, removing her gloves,

knelt down, washed his little feet,

and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks..

Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him
a pair of shoes..

She tied up the remaining pairs of socks
and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head

and said, 'No doubt, you will be more comfortable now..'

As she turned to go, the astonished kid
caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face,

with tears in his eyes, asked her:


'Are you God's wife?'

One must understand the story of Adam himself, a powerful being made not of flesh, but pure light. A sigma male who could hurt Lucifer. The true story is Adam was meant to PROTECT the fruit that Lucifer was forbidden to touch or eat and that was Eve.

You need to know before flesh our bodies were once made of ALL light we didnt have skin like our bodies do now we had light emanating from all parts of our bodies not a single drop of blood or flesh in or out of our bodies. We didnt need food water or sleep. Sleep THEN was more about learning new spells in a trance like state than about recovering the body's nutrient needs over night.
food and was more for pleasure or curiosity than necessityy.

Lucifer changed that, the level of HATRED Lucifer has for The King of Heaven is next level.

Adam fought off Lucifers advances with a beat-down, and this happened a lot. Lucifer wouldnt stop and so nether did Adam. However Lucifer is cunning and patient, like hes always been, intentionally taking those beatings.

What you dont know is that Adam and Eve werent the only Children of Heaven in the Garden of Eden. Also that Adam and Ever are both children themselves. They created protective shields that alerted all the Mature Children of any attacks from Lucifer and his counterparts, that allowed them to react and teleport to other couples.

The old ritual of Marriage was to propose a brother to a sister, or sister to a brother and marry at the time WHEN their younger sibling comes of age. And like any human being, were driven by desire during the proposal stage. This is where the bending to one knee originates. Adam got down on his knee and proposed to Eve while cupping her. Where two beings become one. the making of a child is the true origins of Marriage.

The Garden of Eden is a reminder of what their fallen older brother did along with the other sbilings who were there. Adam was trained BEFORE he returned to the Garden, and he was the Best of the Best amongst his siblings of his maturity state. He too went through this stage when he was younger. And now the roles are reversed where HE is now the protector. But as we all know he failed.

So what are the two weakness that every proud Male adult has that Adam would have at this point in time. Boredom and Desire s*xual desire that is.

So in short he got bored and h*rny, but he did have sisters that WERENT virgins in the Garden and he thought, "Well all I have to do is make an impenetrable shield that Lucifer will NEVER be able to breach so much so that a SINGLE change in the code would alert Adam of that change and would immediately teleport him back to Eve" And Adam was a magnificent coder that even Lucifer himself could not crack that shield, he had covered EVERY possible avenue that Lucifer would try. So after modifying the code in the shield. Adam left Eve alone. But there was one flaw in his plan... Eve.

So it gave him a false sense of security that he not only left, but he left for a while.

So on the day of when Eve was of age,Lucifer turned up to the shield looking and feeling like Adam he was so convincing and she was gullible and trusting even though her instincts were telling her something wasnt right when he wouldnt walk through the shield, Lucifer talked his way into dropping the shield for him.

The things he did to her is unforgivable to mention, but he didnt stop, no this abuse went on for a day at least. But this is not the cruel and painful part of all Eve fell in love with her abuser. So when he was done impregnating her with his genetic code he left and no long after Adam returned but before he did. She healed her own bruises and returned the shield untouched back in place so that Adam was none the wiser.

Father found out, Father relived Eve's experience, the pure hatred he had for Adam was beyond overwhelming he was going to kill Adam if not for Eve's shame and fear It took Father a while to compose himself.

This old saying is severely misunderstood, this old saying used to be " With Great Wealth comes Great Responsibility" The Wealth, is what one is referring to Heaven or Earth?
The Wealth I speak of can move mountains, make lost limbs whole, able to travel from New Zealand to America in under 5 secs, and back if you so wish. All possible through True Faith.

The Responsibility I speak of falls under the category, Karma or Eye for an Eye.Vengeance...
Humans are held accountable when they accuse, strike, or treat like garbage, A Child of Heaven. It is like a ripple in a stilled pond in which The Father is the Heart of His Pond.
An example is when this girl got nasty with her words and yelled them for allto hear outside the local court house. My Instincts spooke in Volumes of what was to come for her. My only hope, which was inevitably hopeless, was that she would set things right before it was too late.
Karma, gave her ample opportunities to make peace with Her,( Karma is a Female in my eyes). Now the volume of pain or sorrow one receives is equal to what one dishes out, as I said it was nasty, sticks and stones is a lie, to allow those to abuse verbally freely. The 'Eye for an Eye' concept, comes into play, she didnt have hatred for Father, but one of HIs Own, Me.

So he didnt take it out on her, but her partner, likely future husband. They were at the beach, the place they love, swimming, the thing they love to do most, high on love in the most intimate place and time, doing this for hours. They were so happy and in love so much so, that they didnt notice the rip tide, after all these two were very experienced swimmers at the beach, they know the signs well, except...

They both began swimming towards the sands, but fatigue and lack of strength kicked in from already a long day swim, but they knew they had no other choice for it was for them to survive or die, and so they swam what seemed like forever, and they were struggling with all the strength they had to get out of the riptide, it took so much strength to get out of the rip that it sapped all her strength which she could not go on. So she just stopped, but her partner wouldnt let her go and swam for the both of them back to shore, and finally he got her to the sands and out of the sea, but it was then he lost all strength himself, and went limp before her eyes and watched slowly as he was pulled back into sea, and all she could do was stare cry, with pain fear and sorrow, as she watched him go beneath the waves. And it while this happened no one was the wiser about what happened because it was assumed it was another long day of them spending time with each other.
Oh I forgot to mention about 3 months prior to allthis going down I met him who was trying to start a fight with me along with another guy, up until maybe 3 days before, wanted to put me in the boot of his car. But learnt the hard way, it's next level foolish if he tried.
The guy that saved his gf, had an empty grave, he couldnt fight me but was hoping the boot guy was going to fight for him, boot guy had no idea, but smartly walked backwards, while watching what was happening.

How did all of this start? My gf at the time was best friends with this girl, and they were having a party at hers which was a flat across a drive way basically a stone throw away. My gf asked if I could look after her bff, at my place. How could I say no she was not only hot but safer with me than next door, her bff ahd another friend with her, who wasnt so lucky. Long story short, Icame close to sleeping with her but told her, "You need to leave", and didnt take taht too well. So not long after with she was being toxic to my face as much and as nasty as possible come 3 months she's burying an empty grave with only but a picture, 2 months after that she hangs herself. She tried to delay the trip back up north to her family Marae, from the coffin to no effect, it was too late. Always is.
