| “They must give themselves to God, Grandfather and live a spiritual life. They will have the peace that frees them from fear.” | |
| –Frank Fools Crow, LAKOTA | |
| There are two wills available for us: self will and God’s will. Our choice is: figure it out ourselves, or have the Creator involved in our lives. If we are honest with ourselves and look at past experiences, what are our lives like when we try to figure it out ourselves? Is there fear, confusion, frustration, anger, attacking others, conflict, fault finding, manipulation, teasing others, belittling others or devaluation? If these things are present, they indicate that we are choosing self will. What is it like if we turn our will over to the Creator? What are the results if we ask the Great Spirit to guide our life? Examples are: freedom, choices, consequences, love forgiveness, helping others, happiness, joy, solutions, and peace. Which will I choose today, self will or God’s will? |
Creator, I know what my choice is. I want You to direct my life. I want You to direct my thinking. You are the Grandfather. You know what I need even before I do. Today I ask You to tell me what I can do for You today. Tell me in a way I can understand and I will be happy to do it.
I don’t know about you but is anyone else tired of hearing all this crap about steroids and baseball. I mean seriously if someone who’s getting paid 20 million dollars a year for playing a kids game wants to inject or digest stuff that’s gonna make his testes shrink up into his rib cage and have a voice like Mike Tyson….. I don’t care… As long as he can hit a baseball a 1/2 a mile at every bat or throw a 100 mph fastball and strike out 300 batters a year. I don’t care if he’s having sex with a monkey while wearing stilettos, chainmail underwear and a hockey mask. Does it really freaking matter to anyone but self-righteous legislators in Washington, DC and Sports Journalists that are too stupid to be on Headline News.
I mean, I love baseball but lets get serious. What’s the difference between someone trashing themselves with steroids or some overly stressed executive working 14 hours a day in a office building. Or the difference between our Air Force Pilots taking stimulants to fly longer missions.
You, because you don’t ‘play’ professional sports can walk into most health food or vitamin stores and buy all kinds of Human Growth Hormone, and multitudes of digestible growth products. But because they play a ‘game’ it’s illegal…. what sense does that make. According to ESPN, “Twenty years ago, it was rare for a player to weigh 300 pounds. But more than 500 players were listed at that weight or more on NFL training-camp rosters this summer” Guess we just growing them bigger now a days, must be all them hormones they feed cows and are in the milk right… same stuff that’s causing little girls to mature faster and the increase in teen pregnancy?
Guess that’s better than blaming it on the irresponsible behavior.
Took a walk out by the lake earlier today… it was great, temps were in the 50’s almost 60. Tomorrow it’s suppose to be in the mid to high 60’s. I think it’s time to break out a pair of shorts for the day. Got a lot of Appointments tomorrow starting with bloodwork for one of the kids at 8:30 am . . . lot of running around tomorrow 6 appointments I think in all…. better make sure my mp3 player is charged up . . . LOL
I love my Creative Zen v plus, it’s only 4gb but with 300 plus songs on it I still have lots to go. Have pictures on it as well, I shrink them down with MS Office Picture Manager so they are just a little bit bigger than the screen, takes up so much less room on the mp3 player that way.
Walking in Peace, TCWF
