How ya livin’ ?! By: KB 8.3.15

I’ve been giving things a lot of thought so please don’t think of this as a random and obscure post.

I’ve read many a story about rising rents, the drought, animal cruelty, racism, bigotry, homophobia, etc… You name it I read it and the bottom line is ALL of these stories are for naught…….yup, you read that right. The stories don’t mean a damn thing until we learn to value human life and how to treat one another. Seriously, think about it, the majority of these situations would be resolved if we learn to embrace the sanctity of life!

Now, there are some people who will dispute and refute the validity of the Bible until they themselves are toes up….but even a blind man can see that we’ve got something wrong in our thinking and conduct.

Psalms 133:1     Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity!

Malachi 2:10     "Do we not all have one father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously each against his brother so as to profane the covenant of our fathers?

Galatians 5:22-23     But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Proverbs 3:3     Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Romans 12:10     Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;

Psalm 24:1      A Psalm of David. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,

Genesis 1:28      And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

I’m not telling you that you have to believe what and how I believe, I’m not that narrow minded; but, what I am saying is that there are some fundamental truths in what I quoted. Why is it that we’ll spend grand theft money on self-help and self-improvement books and seminars when the ability and the power to change is in what you accept as a truth….and the real truth is that we are so fragile and damaged that we have allowed a certain amount of exclusion and attrition to become acceptable. We are so damaged that we’ll spend countless hours and energy focusing on the external factors when the real work has to be done internally. I’m challenging folks to STOP being a dressed up mess. I’m challenging people to embrace a Higher Power to reach a higher calling.

How ya livin’?
