nd 'Our skills in dialog to hold all unwelcome Truth at bay is virtually insurmountable. All that is left is to Be the Truth, Speak, Write, Share the Truth, and leave it at that, EXACTLY as Jesus did. God! I'm soooo slow! Stop Talking. Stop Thinking. Start Loving! (Except for the 1 in a million literally dying for the Truth.)' Loving

MLK Jr said the same Truth, Fact, this way - "A person is not fit [equipped] to live until they know what they would be willing to die for."
Jesus said it this way - "Whoever would save their life will lose it; and whoever would lose their life for the sake of our neediest Family will Gain their Life." Paraphrase with liberties, of which He would approve.

God is eternal, all-embracing, and exists across space and time. God is all there is. There is no other God than this God. All exists in Him. All life, when it appears, does not come from nothing, but rather, from God. And when death takes us, it does not take us to nothing, it takes us back to God," Leo Tolstoy from "A Calendar of Wisdom," Library tab above

WOW. "Feeling compassion toward all living crea tures is essential to becoming a virtuous person. One cannot say, “He is a virtuous man, but he is not compassionate,” or “This is a compassionate man, but he is cruel.” These phrases simply do not make sense." Tolstoy, "Wise Thuoughts for Ever Day" (Library tab above)

****** WOW: Tolstoy on God: "To forget about God means to forget about the one who is always inside you." (more)
People sometimes ask, “Have you forgotten
about God?” This is a good question. To forget
about God means to forget about the one who
is always inside you. To remember God — and
to do this not only through words but also by
constantly remembering that God lives in us —
is truly a great thing.
From Tostoy's "Wise Thoughts for Every Day," See Libray Tab.

***** WOW. Tolstoy on "Religion:" "Every person feels that there is some thing great inside him or her. In life, that something — that which cannot be understood — is the most important thing of all. A persons attitude toward that thing is religion."

The sequester
is here, with an initial $85 billion worth of haphazard and
economically destructive spending cuts, a Washington wound almost
universally described as “self-inflicted.

nd 'My beloved older sister, not unkindly, has written to say, for the umteenth time, that no matter that I'm dying, I remain sufficiently worthless to her, that I remain just a prop in her life, unworthy of understanding in my own right. It has ever been thus with her, and my mom before her; and thus she treats all. They don't, they won't, they refuse to know better. I don't take it personally. I Love her not one spec less due to this. So typical in our society. There are few exceptions.' Loving [uh, yes, she phrased it differently. Hypocrisy, a clinical condition, never is Honest, Truthful, Direct.] [LOL. Jesus had exactly the same experience; and still does today, with us all.]

Yes, the following is a bit rambling, but just a bit. I Pray you watch every second of it. I don't 'plan' any of the sharings on this blog. I don't want to 'taint' what I share by 'planning' it messing with it. It comes to my Heart, then straight from my Heart, to, well, hopefully... Your Heart. At least, I do my part. I share. I make it available to you. With Loving
