Lost Opportunities

As we receive word that France has launched a military assault on Syria, we lost another opportunity to stem the threat of violence to the people of our world.  Again, a government responds with the ultimate price in the people of another land for the cost of life in their own.  The violence in this world makes me very sad for its victims, yet we are all the victims of government policies right now, and that needs to change.

I guess, I feel this way, France's response in bombing anyone in Syria is wrong.  Whether its a "terrorist" group or a nation-state, anyone who levies violence on the people of another nation is using violence to solve a conflict that needs to be resolved because the violence clearly indicates that there is a problem!

We are smarter and better than just using our brute force and violence to create our world, together we must tell our friends with violent mindsets that we can really do something different.

Keystone Choices

Sanity prevailed.

The True Stewards of God's Creation of Mother Earth have stepped forward and will continue to do so to defeat all those who would come against and destroy the beauty of nature that sustains life as it was created.

Human advancements notwithstanding, there comes a time when "OK.  That is enough." is the measure of the day.

Beyond that comes those seven deadly sins we always hear about but never seem to want to recognized when they start to rear their ugly heads -- in fact, I don't even think that by the time we recognize them, we can see them for ourselves.

When its really time to take action, we need help seeing the insidious integration of those sins and how they manifest in our world, often in the minute nuances of our realities that create a spectrum upon which other's may see and warn us of the fruits of those sins when they appear once again present choices.

Gluttony, Vanity, Pride and Greed are most definitely the ones taking center stage in the battle for the life of our natural world.  Keystone was defeated today, let's hope that we have chosen for our KEY to be protection of that which we have been given stewardship over and that we put to rest and restore in balance to bear the fruits of the spirit and a healthy planet once more.  To harken the warning is to take action to do what our planet calls the True Stewards to take care of now:  #ClimateActionNow

WWJD?  Jesus would be an environmental activist, of course!  what do you think he would do?!

#governmentshutdown #wwjd ? ? ?

seriously, if #jesuschrist was #alive today . . .

how many times have we said that? how many times have we heard that? how many times have we thought that?

that is a wrong thought. "get out damn thought"

what we should say, hear and think is "based on what jesus has taught me, what am I doing?"

our #governmentshutdown was put into a positive perspective for me by one of my #facebook friends, a writer and artist and diplomat, #carolinejaine, she posed the question, "Ok, America, your government is shutdown, before it starts again, what do you want different?" so, I started to answer that question. first, the controversy is arising out of healthcare.

WELL, what should be our healthcare policy in this nation?

 #congressionalbenefits4thevets

a simple thought that seemed like a good first step to HELP get us to that equality promise of our nation. how can we have a society that is based on the fundamental truth of equality of all when we quantify the value of life amongst those who work for our government? all who serve and give of their life, talents, resources and abilities to our government do so with the equality of their personhood, their individual life, their "1" -- no one in Congress dare say their service is more important than that of, oh, say, that new medal of honor recipient, will they?

#fullnuclearwasteconfidence

seriously, we STILL do not know how to store our waste from this science project.  and, until we can and recycle it for a productive use, we need to stop the expansion and get this together before we really do kill all of God's creation!

If we ensured a program that provided for a wholistic approach to expansion as a matter of course rather than regulation, that will institute a systemic adjustment for all to return to human-life sustaining processes, methods and focus.

#restoreConstitutionalRepublic

I don't know exactly what that will mean in terms of our everyday reality, probably really not too much that the ethical renaissance won't shift, but what it does mean is that "we the people" form our government. We have the ability to create whatever form of structure we choose. Where our #supremecourt has usurped the spirit of the constitution and deviated from common law, we need to restore to the common core of truth from the past the Constitution was drawn upon to form this nation.

oh, what does this have to with jesus?
probably nothing at all, but I think he would think these are fine ideas.

Hello America

"Good morning America how are you?
Don't you know me I'm your native son,
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done."

something about this video i received from a friend on myspace made me think about new orleans and what is happening there that we are not paying attention to because ... well, there's so much chaos in our lives, we really have been distracted and derailed by some very big liars.

Hello America


to the person who made the video, i just say ... thank you, we are working on it. and we hope you too get well soon. nice to see your recovery (and pulling out of troops) happening faster than our's ... beware of who actually may have 'captured' your men, we have a desperate addiction to self-righteousness, death and loneliness. there are many here who are not happy to see you on the road to recovery.

peace & harmony,
elaine
