| “Those who live for one another learn that love is the bond of perfect unity.” | |
| –Fools Crow, LAKOTA | |
| To serve each other, to respect each other, to trust each other, to honor each other, to love each other, to cooperate with each other, to care for each other, to forgive one another, to focus on peoples’ good, to laugh with one another, to learn from one another; to pray for each other – these are all acts of love. These values and actions will connect us to one another in the Unseen World. Nature is a good example of how we should get along with one another. Watch nature. She is our teacher. Nature lives to give to one another. The insects give to the birds who give to the four legged who give to the two legged. The Creator made all things perfect. |
Oh Great Spirit, let me serve the people today. Let me see that it is better to give than it is to receive. Be with me today.
Yes, I am still alive.
Finished watching the HBO mini series John Adams this past week. I’m still wondering how that “Federalist” Party ever turned into the current Democrat craziness. So I’ve begun to read the “Federalist Papers” (only 400 pages in the free pdf file I found) to try and understand. For in the words of Jack Ryan in the movie ‘Hunt for Red October’ “It is wise to study the ways of one’s adversary. Don’t you think?” I’m not sure who exactly I’m going to vote for yet, but I know it won’t be for a Democrat, maybe not Republican either. Guess I need some extra strong duct tape and a clothes pin for my nose on election day. I mean seriously, if Obama and McCain are the best this country has to offer as our representative to the rest of the world . . . . we are screwed.
One other thing I’ve read recently are the Articles of Confederation of these United States, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.
Work is the same old thing, I’ve been doing the same run for getting close to 5 years. My truck is a ‘05 model, next week I will surpass the 400,000 mile mark. I think I have about 227 to go to get there right now. I got this truck in Sept of ‘05 and it had about 34,000 miles on it then. It has it’s issues but eh, it’s a truck, if I ever get to loving it just kill me . . . LOL I never want to get to the place where I like being at work in my truck more than other places.

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6
Our acts of love, speak more vividly to the hearts of those around us, than our words. The impact our lives have on others, is found in our day to day activities, and the way we handle and respond to everyday situations. Our children are no exception. The opinions and character formed in them are a result of our actions more than our words. It is these seemingly small, everyday things that have the greatest impact in their lives. If we will continue to seek Creator as our example, He will enable us to be good examples to our children. When children have a firm foundation in the ways and word of God, they will not be easily uprooted and the storms of life will not consume them. They will have the ability to stand strong in our Creator.
Allow my life to be a blessing and example to my children and to all those who know me. Create me in Your image and enable me to live the example of Your word, so that my actions will speak Your love and truth.
I have met only a few people in my life who have taught me more about myself than 1000 people ever could, James Ott, Aurther Cannon, Peter Miller, and A. Rueben Hartwick. One was in the military with me, one a preacher and two college professors. Three are dead now, not sure about the forth.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and week
Peace
