Acronymic Place of Truth

Acronymic identity is and should be a certification of one’s accomplishments -- whether it be Ph.D., CPA, Dr., a.k.a. Drifter -- but character is the only definer of what we are truly like.

True Leaders

-Those who have been guided by a higher order in truth and fairness, either through what they learned or a personal relationship.

-Those who have no thoughts of personal glory or gain of any kind, outside of what's necessary for the endeavors at hand and the preservation of one's family.

-Those who lighten the burdens of the one they are leading, and don't add to their burden for any reason.

- Those who are willing and able to search out a path.

Enhancement Target

The beginning of any enhancement of our lives is encompassed in having the courage to stare the potential of failure in its face and combat it at all costs, first refusing to be held bond by mistakes made in the past, and then grabbing hold of the productive path that leads to a predestined future that awaits our arrival if we don’t get weary along the journey.

Am I Blind To Truth?

There is without a doubt a constant growth -- in addition to misery, stress, hopelessness, and crime -- of symptoms caused by those of us entrapped by greed, personal glory, and just plain apathy.

These people are first in line to unfairly convict and create unfair laws upon their victims. Maybe we should amend some of these laws to include accountability!

My writing is in no way siding with those who willingly perpetrate horrific crimes, nor do I advocate against fair and firm justice.

The New Stock Market at Our Future's Expense

- T- shirts bearing pictures of what really are memorials.

- The privatizing of correctional institutions and the demolition of schools.

- Condos being erected while neighborhood communities are denied much needed resources to stay in existence.

- The outsourcing of jobs (and cutting out of higher educational and recreational programs) that are needed here in the U.S. to sustain ourselves and our families.

Hug Them Through Prayer!

When the ones we love are pulled away from us, by way of desire or deception, it causes us great discomfort by way of heartfelt pain.

When the hugs that were are now blocked by whatever it is that blinds their heart’s eye and keeps them from receiving genuine care, concern, and love, we must not give up or discontinue the true love that we hold in our hearts for them.

We must and should in those times hug them through prayer!

What Do Our Words Do?

Words that resonate from our mouths do find targets of reception, so should common sense tell us that which is verbally release has planted seeds of hope, care, concern, and love in the receptor?
