"If you knew that I was after the best, then why did you do less than the least?" (Matthew 25:26, The Message).
Sooner or later we each will have to face the moment of truth — when our lives are measured in the light of eternity. There is an abiding reality within the depths of our souls that stirs us to pursue that which is good and true, that which is virtuous and noble. By divine instinct we shun death, disease, and destruction — for we were not made for these things.
And though this fallen world is marred with the ever-encroaching presence of evil, our hearts are up-linked to more heavenly pursuits. We were not made for failure, but success. We were not designed to malfunction, but to excel. We are not at ease settling for that which we know is less than our best. But, then, why do so many seem so ready to surrender to mediocrity?
Maybe we've lost our vision — our view of nobler things. Maybe our leaders have failed us, and thereby granted us license to sell our own selves short. Or maybe the friends with which we converse have inadvertently coaxed us into joining them in living a somewhat diminished life. After all, one of the easiest things in life to do is go along with the crowd.
Maybe we've become content to yawn our way to our journey's end. Still, this doesn't change the sobering reality that one day we will stand in the Presence of Love Himself to answer for the loveless choices we have made along the way. "If you knew that I was after the best, then why did you do less than the least?"
Perhaps you are not in a place where you can give your best just yet — but can't you at least do more than the least? It's a place to start. And after all is said and done, you might end up not only surprising yourself with just how far and how high you go — but, who knows, along the way you just may also inspire the rest of us snoozing lugs.
U.S. Government was designed that way, that each State could have its own individual way of doing things. This keeps the people in control of the government to run things their way where they live.
That's exactly the problem in this country right now... The Federal Government is trying to tell the States the way it has to be done for everyone.
Just because a State on the eastern seaboard and its people decide they need certain laws due to their population and crime rate and it well may be necessary for them; it does not mean that those in the midwest with low population and little crime would need the same types of laws.
People have different moral codes in different areas and they think differently about things and live different lifestyles. They have a right to make the laws according to their district. A government of the people and for the people.
If you don't like the laws where you live, get involved with your City Council and try to make changes there. Also, keep in close contact with your State Representatives, voicing your concerns. If you still aren't happy, then move to an area that has your concerns at heart.
That's the way this nation was set up and the way it should remain. The Federal Government already has its hands into too much of the States business. Socialism, Marxism and Fascism is NOT the way to go.
The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director," she answered.
"Interesting," the newsman thought.
He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now - in her 80's - a funeral director.
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers.
(Wait for it)
She smiled and explained,
"I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."
The Lakota tribe is one of the poorest tribes in the nation. The government has treated them harshly, cut off their water supply and taken their children. April of last year, CPS removed 5,000 children from their homes at the Reservation stating they could not live in such conditions, having no water. The government created the condition in which to take the children. grrrrrr!
I suppose that putting it out there does have an effect. Even though I did not meet him on this site, he was Fishing on another and sent me an email. Still, I did charge the air with my request and God sent me Mr.Wonderful whom I have been waiting for, all my life. Sometimes you just know that ya know!
My Rancher has found me! He is so amazing and we have Everything in common! Religion and Politics too, just like I have always wanted in a man! He only lives 30 miles away. Yesterday we rode his Harley to the city to the Health Food Store, then returned, picked up the jet-ski and rode the entire lake.
Hola! Life Hey, He can be Latino or Native American or whatever if he's in my territory. But if we are living in the U.S., there are many other things to be considered, such as Political views... absolutely no Liberals!!! The ranch would not be big enough for both of us.
Guess I could go ask around at the saddle shop and see if those mexican boys know of anyone available. They probably do! Thanks for the idea!
PJ, would you like to be my agent? Since you are a man magnet, you can meet them, tell them about me and he can take care of all the arangements to send for me.
I am also a beach bunny, having grown up on the east coast but it doesn't pay well.
Yes, that is correct. We are the bride of christ, His church. It is also written ... I will build my church without walls.
The Roman emporer Constantine built the first church building for the "christians" 500 years after the death of Jesus, when his pagan mother pointed out to him that these people had no building to worship their god. Therefore, it was not inspired by God to put worshipers into a building.
Too far for my horses to travel and the road is dangerous. Besides, I don't think they raise much cattle up there. I like working the ranch. My rancher went to the nursing home so I need a new future.
