    Repost...

    [​IMG]

    I'm in the process of re-posting 3 posts of mine from last night...

    Rarely do I wake up and feel such urgancy to do something...but my conscious really bothered me when i woke up...

    I feel posting those videos was not the direction I'm meant to go in anymore...

    I think there's better examples of 'unity' than what the videos showed...

    So I'm simply responding to my 'conscious' and or 'God'...

    And using water as a 'cleansing' mechanism...

    1 down, two to go...

    Re-post....

    [​IMG]

    The thing I love about God, the Savior, is he never stops working on your heart...

    Where others run and judge, and condemn, God draws near, and talks to your heart...

    Even others who worship God themselves, and supposedly turn to God for forgiveness in their time of need, won't and don't extend it to you...

    That's something I could never understand...

    I know how love works, and love doesn't run...love corrects, and helps heal...

    2 down, 1 to go...

    Ok, I guess I only had two I felt I needed to get rid of or re-construct...

    The thing about me, is in the end, I always do what's right...

    Yes, I can be 'juvenille' at times...but in the end I always do what's right...

    The thing about man though, is man never sticks around to see those changes manifest in you or others they deem 'bad' or 'undesirable' or whatever...

    But again will turn to God, and expect God to extend life long mercy, love, patients, understanding and forgiveness...

    But they, man, will extend none of it to others...again I find that odd...

    How can people who claim to serve a loving God, have so little love to extend themselves??

    That equation isn't right...somethings off there...

    God is bigger than any one of us, his love can't be contained, so if indeed his love is in someone, it will flow through...

    If Gods love isn't there...nothing will come out...period...

    It's not about 'loving self', when it comes to Gods grace, it's about loving others...as he did on the cross...

    It was my love for God, others, and myself, that made me come here and delete those videos...cause I felt 'accountable'...

    And love makes you want to do what's right...

    Real life lessons learned right here....

    Have a wonderful day...back soon...

    It's all about renual...it's the only way you can go forward...

    When you make mistakes...even mistakes only you notice...it's the ability to recover and move on that will greatly aid you through life...

    Realize there is only one God who you must stand before...

    People like to play god though, by judging and condemning others...for reasons that have nothing to do with right and wrong...rather for reasons that have to do with 'preference'...

    Typical shallow man...

    But in the end, you don't have to stand before man...

    It's easy for me to love and accept everyone...but for many, it's not so easy...it's a struggle...

    Carnal flesh vs Spirit...

    The ways of the carnal flesh are very obvious...

    I'm flawed, and know it, and accept my role in the greater scheme of things...Which in a way (being aware of my state) allows me to accept the grace of Christ more so than others...

    Anyways...hope everyone had a good day...obsticles and all...

    There will always be obsticales...

    [​IMG]

    We, you, us, just gotta figure out how to get around them while maintaning a pleasent healthy attitude...

    And that's what friends are for...(no don't worry, I'm not going to upload that terrible 1980's song)...

    Anyhow...later...

    Been away for a while...real life issues tend to split your energy or focus...

    Most, in the beggining, never thought this thread would still be around...

    They thought I needed their interaction to continue on...how wrong they were...

    I'm not made of normal material...

    One thing about this thread is there is no 'finish line'...

    [​IMG]

    The only finish line here is when your in the grave...

    Also, there is no 'Lived happily ever after' here...

    [​IMG]

    This thread is more like how the Sapranos ended...very uncertain...as the future always is...

    What this thread is about though...is endurance....

    Sticking it out until the end, not running away...

    If nothing else stands out about this thread, I want that to...I never ran away...

    Through the good, the bad and the ugly...I never ran away...

    I also realize sometimes people want more to reflect on, to measure their own lives by, than just short sound bites...

    I try to deliver that here...

    But in order to be true to others, one has to be true to themselves...


    This thread is an ever evolving story...one we can all write together...

    Anyways...just wanted to drop in real quick and say hello...

    My thoughts carry me elsewhere at this moment...later...
