    Renue yourself daily...

    [​IMG]

    Daily renual, it's so important to do this...

    Not only for yourself, but for others...
    In other words allow others to 'renue' themselves also...

    Renueing oneself daily, allows for the heart to stay light and chirpy...
    If you make a mistake, an error in judgement, say something mean to
    someone, admit it, own it, and move on.

    It will allow you to make peace with yourself, your maker, and anyone else.
    Don't weigh down your heart with unessicary garbadge.

    Jesus emphasized renual of spirit, redemption, and forgiveness...
    (The lord already knows we're flawed, we don't have to pretend we're 'perfect' in his loving eyes.)

    And I do believe he was right...

    Anyways, have a great wonderful day...like the bird above...

    Interesting day...spent part of the evening around very influencial Jewish people...very much so...the shakers and bakers...power...

    But it's not like I was sitting down having wine with any of them, I was there do to my job...but it's over now...pretty uneventful...well...one thing did happen that was kinda funny, I'll share it with my pal later...

    Other than that...I'm home, it's a Saturday night...but I'm staying put...
    To dangerious out there at night...at least where I live...and to get to the affluent or decent part of the city, that takes lots of gas...

    [​IMG]

    You could easily burn through $30.00 in gas in one evening, if your not careful...

    Saturday nights aren't really safe, cause everyones liquired up, emotions are all over the place...criminals are out roaming and waiting for a chance to victimize anyone...and the cops are roaming and waiting as well, for speeders, drunk drivers, red light runners...ect ect...

    So sometimes it's just best to stay home, where it's somewhat more safer.

    I need to stay focused right now...change some habits, and learn to utilize more time in a 24 hr period to get more done...

    And I can't do anything that will allow my 'Mr Hyde' side to come out...

    [​IMG]

    You know, the whole Dr Jekyll, Mr Hyde thing...

    Cause Mr Hyde will get ya in trouble...

    Anyways...other than that, a pretty uneventful sane day, and I 'hopes' to keep it that way...

    [​IMG]

    later...

    Hey, I was good tonight...Mr Hyde stayed in their place...

    And now I will end the evening with one of my favorite sitcom theme songs of all time...

    Cause it represents family and good times, simple times...loving times...a time you wish would never end...but does...then your forced to grow up and deal with ugly issues...

    Cheers to the good ole days...when life was simple...later...I'm done here for the night...cheers and enjoy...later...

    What's this world coming to when you can earn $250-$350 a week, deliverying newspapers part time...
    [​IMG]

    I know there have been times when I've made that on the road...in 7 days.

    The only set back to deliverying papers is the scheduale is set...and you have to work everything else around that scheduale...but still $250-$350 a week, part-time...not bad...

    Hello, I feel I'm in a different world right now...

    [​IMG]

    The world I'm in now is spinning around and around..
    And I'm getting dizzy..no, not do to beer...rather do to the
    dynamics of changing situations and times...

    The strain of it all, sometimes makes you want to get lost...
    Trucking use to give me that refuge...it was a way of getting lost,
    lost for days, weeks, months at a time, and leaving all issues in your
    rear view mirror...

    (ok, I don't know about you, but I'm getting dizzy now, for real)

    On a different tip...I filled out an application online today, and it just kept going on and on and on, silly questions...quizes...my only fear was that
    45 minutes into it, I would loose my connection and have to start all over.

    Anyways...not much going on now...at least not on the surface...

    [​IMG]

    Religious people are odd...and I think often 'used' by the devil...

    What I mean by that is...you may curse or swear, when upset...but the swear word is used as a 'verb'..., like 'D a r n it'...

    Where as a religious person might not use that verb...but they'll make value judgements about your very being, your character...only the way Satan could...

    It's like Satan, the Devil, takes notes, and uses religious people to 'slay' you.

    I'd much rather be around someone who cursed, now and then, in the heat of passion, than someone who leveled value judgements against my being.

    Another thing about religious people...they may never drink beer, but yet don't understand the simple concept of 'forgiveness'...

    It's like religious people go to church, but don't hear nothing...

    The movie 'Carry' with Sissey Spacek, is a perfect example of that type of religious 'lunacy'...

    [​IMG]
    (Religious people don't 'grow', they simple 'stall' in their own imperfections)

    Carries mother never swore, or drank, or partied, but none the less was
    still the Devil...

    It's people hiding their insanity behind religion, that has made many weary of the word or term now...

    Religion is almost like someone wearing a mask...who are they really, beneath the mask...

    At least an out right open 'sinner' or smoker, or beer drinker...you know who they are...they don't try to hide their 'insanity' behind anything...

    Kinda like a used car 'as is'...

    I hope this post will help clarify things for select souls that are led here, and need to read it...

    The insanity of it can come from within your family, or outside the family, or someone trying to influence someone in your family or someone you know, or even thyself.

    Satan is crafty...he never comes in the form or format you expect him to, and I'll leave it at that for now...

    Wow...admitedly kind of a creepy post...
