| “When temptation comes, I don’t say, `Yes,” and I don’t say, `No.’ I say, `Later,’ I just keep walking the Red Road-down the middle. When you’re in the middle, you don’t go to either extreme. You allow both sides to exist.” | |
| –Dr. A. C. Ross (Ehanamani), LAKOTA | |
| We need to practice controlling our focus. Whatever we focus on we become. We also become whatever we practice. We need to focus on balance. Whenever something comes along to tilt us off balance, we need to be grateful, because it allows the opportunity to practice our focus. Sometimes this is called temptation. Temptation in itself is not bad. What really counts is what we do with it when it happens. We need to practice controlling our focus and keeping our thinking focused on the Red Road. |
Great Spirit, today, guide me through my temptations and allow me to focus on the Red Road.
Got home last night about 8:30 pm didn’t sleep real well, got up today, and we spent most of it out shopping, Every year I get a gift card from work to a seriation store, I always give it to LV for new clothing, this year with the after Rhama-Haunna-Kwans-Mass sales and discounts, she got $298 worth of regular priced clothing for $122 before the gift card, or basically she got it all free with my gift card and the one she had $22 left over from last year. I can live with that, so we splurged and bought the kids each a candy bar for $ 2.98 each
Okay, so well, this is the story…. about 3 am, on I-68 in western MD, about 15 miles before Cumberland, MD I was going west, down one of the hills, and got passed by a car, doing a good 80, maybe more. I knew there was a cop about 1/2 way down, (it’s a CB thing) so I was just cruising along, about 65, saw the car zip by where the cop was parked and then saw the cops car lights go on, as he puled out then the blues lit up just as the car got to the bridge and started spinning, car hit about three times before leaving the bridge then wound up in the storm run off about three feet on the other side of the guard rail. Cop stopped, I stopped, we drug some people out of the cars, one covered one just bleeding pretty bad, we got my most of it stopped up before the ambulance got there. I dead, one screwed up for a long while. Cop told me thanks for stoping and having the first aid kit in the truck, was given to me about a month ago in KY from one of the places I go to…. Well, at least it was better than last time watching a guy get decapitated on a motorcycle at about 70 running into the back of a pickup with a camper.
A lot happened this week, Christmas day the guys get attacked by a Siberian tiger in San Fran, CA at the zoo…. what’s up with that? Then the two guys who survived were trying to get away and refusing medical treatment? Then at the hospital they are trying to get away and won’t talk with t he cops or anyone…. huh! Then they lie on the phone to the dead guys dad and tell him they haven’t seen the son when he calls one to ask if they’ve seen him….. wth….???? Then in Dallas, TX someone shoots a pet (declawed) Bengal tiger 5 times and dumps it of on the side of a road?
Then the ex, wanna be again Prime Minister of Pakistan (these people have nukes!!!) gets shot and blown up. Now, her son is claiming to be leading her cause in her place… even though he doesn’t even speak the language…. duh! (abc world news tonight) and Al Quida is growing in leaps and bounds in Pakistan…. (the country with the nukes!!!) Oh Yeah, btw, Cashmere and India are up each others butt again….. they both have nukes!!!
