There is nothing like you.

You were created from Greatness, and have none to compare to you,  you are of  worth that's beyond any jewel on earth or in the universe. There may be times when you are not appreciated in your status, but; no person/thing in existence can diminish your value, wither you be sick, free or incarcerated. You are EVERY human being on this earth gateway to life. There can be no dreams, or goals set without your being. Your honor and glory rest in who you are; you are a mom; today is your Special Day, and I want you to know; "you are loved, needed, appreciated!!" God Bless!! Happy Mother's Day!!

Feelings dead.

There has to be a numbness of the heart/senses, for one to continually  live a lie, as if it's truth. There is without doubt, fear of being exposed for what actually is, for one to deceive himself/herself and others joined to them, by way of their believing what truly isn't. Those that don't do research for acquiring ability for discernment; usually suffer unnecessary hardship/miseries not warranty.

There's no telling the difference.

How is it possible to tell the difference when contrasting appears to be similar?


A. Homes with one parent with kids/young people, allowed to do and come and go as they please.
B. Home with two parent that allows mistakes, selfish decisions to be rewarded, instead of consequences; which puts a stop to such actions.

Because it's real.

One has to really be in touch with the ways of God, to understand how you can love and still be concern, care about those who did you great wrong. I in no way suggest, that anyone should allow those that do wrong/disrespect you continually back in your lives. I at times have to ask myself; how is it possible for me to still love and care about those that have and still today act as though I never did anything good toward them, and any others. As I said earlier in this writing; "one has to really be in touch with the ways of God to understand how my love, concern for them can still be possible". Like most parents raising our young, and one day facing their being possibly influenced, by all these deceptive methods (spirits), and they, one day  targeting us as the enemy. Been a coach for forty plus years, has afforded me this experience of being worried about many young people, some who decided for whatever reason to side with disrespect, lying;  for cover of fear of exposure for what actually is. My position (coaching) has cause me hurt, discomfort but; it has not, and never will destroy the love and concern I have for, their being successful in pursuing good things in their lives". If it was possible for a "Lamp Genie" to grant me one wish, it would be;  I wish, they would one day before my leaving this life; realize how I still do, and always will feel toward them." God Bless!!

Time's winding down for all.

I have come to the point as to reluctantly accepting the truth of today's time, that is ; many speak about knowing and worshiping God, but; it's in no way evidenced in their way of living, neither their stance in principle. A great deal of people have swapped their stance in belief's (morals) confessed, by reason; of not wanting to offend or lose those they love/care about. I have at times found myself to be quiet concerning, about some things, that those I in someway have association with, but; I want walk over what I believe to be truth concerning my conviction in morals for anyone/anything! I believe, it to be time winding down for either or, and straddling the fence, on what and how one stands in that he/she profess to believe in. I also know myself not to be one who judges any, neither will I allow any to judge me in my stance for what's my worship/belief. The truth is; we all will be at a certain moment, held accountable for our doe's and did-not.
