I mostly talk just about God here. A few worldly and occasional personal sidenotes here and there, BUT, consistently and ever more intentionally, I only want to write ("talk") about GOD.
I have never been one to monitor or try to monetize, even during early times when I could have, getting thousands of "engagements" over the last 20 years or so. . . . To "$capitalize" on a moment of popularity at the time, or any time, has always felt tawdry and beneath the level of discussion.
NOT being "high and mighty" lol, as if "I'm above all that!" Just saying, this has been (and to me, surprisingly) a sort of safe space, out of the spotlight, where I can share, without too much concern of getting "blacklisted", "banned", "ghosted", "marginalized", "ratio'd", . . . trolls, haters, contrarians etc., etc., . . . . I've kept it on the "down-lo".
And I cherish ANY fellow brother/sister . . . child of Truth/God . . . who has hung around and checks in and who have been kind and generous to give a comment, notice and the like, throughout the ever-growing years.
I've always been honest as can be here. Not looking for anything. Just a voice (like so many others, more valiant and deserving than mine) shouting amidst THE STORM of THIS MORTAL, WHIRLWIND OF A LIFE.
My workaday job, for many years now, has allowed me to see all kinds of people, in all kinds of situations, from very rich, to barely getting by. I am in their homes. I get acquainted with their dogs, cats, children, other family members, life situations. It's kind of like being "the barber" or the salon stylist . . . who gets to know all their clients' business.
So, I try to be a blessing, listen, be circumspect, professional etc., but yes, I have seen, by now, thousands of peoples' home lives, situations, concerns . . . . . . . .
Especially now, over the last few years . . . for instance, the children. . . . I would say half or more have some sort of autistic and other "disabilities", which is super stressful and a lot of extra work, in terms of general parenting.
The teens and 20s-30s "kids" are . . . (generally speaking) either "doing fantastic!" with great jobs, $, "successful" . . . or, in rehab, almost in rehab, "on the spectrum", or homeless.
It is a stark dichotomy, and most often, there exist BOTH general types, in the same "family".
Well, and I could go on--IN GENERAL!
I'm not naming names, of course, . . . just my now old -timey old-man experience, observations,)! generally speaking. . . . .
But yes, I have seen and still now see lots of patterns, during the years.
In THIS particular "day and age" . . . the patterns are getting quite uniform.
The kids are brilliant but wacked out, spectrum-ish; the dudes are secretly gay, the women are overwhelmed, mad, aggressive and defensive, and about half of all of them are already dead, OR dying of turbo cancer or some other concoction of maladies. And from rich to poor, all are stressed. When you are "rich" it just means you have bigger stresses and threats and bills to pay. It's all in scale.
WHAT NEARLY NONE OF THEM HAVE, OR CONSIDER, OR "STRESS" about is GOD!
HE is a last consideration.
In a pinch, oh yes, they will cry out in the night, in a quick pleading prayer, "please help ME God!"
But, when the rest of the day ensues, it's back to worldly world. God is a last (if even that) thought or care.
Ya know in the days of Noah . . . it was (and is getting quite near that again, as prophesied): "The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time"
Oh, I could go on . . . as I do, fwiw.
And I will, for as long as blessed to live here, rough as it is.
Just sharing my thoughts about life, GOD YHWH . . . and eager to continue to delve into His magnificent, awesome I AM THAT I AM!
(Aaaand . . . eager to share more on recently apprehended (Given) understandings of FAITH/BELIEF . . . THE GOSPEL . . . His Triune Essence/BEING . . . the crux of . . . well, many matters . . . and THE MATTER at hand. :)
God bless you!
