(CNN) -- Global warming
has propelled Earth's climate from one of its coldest decades since the
last ice age to one of its hottest -- in just one century.
***** nd 'Loving (Agape, not eros or filios) is, IS, the only, Only, ONLY TRULY REVOLUTIONARY ACT POSSIBLE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS MORE OF THE SAME, MORE OF THE STATUS QUO; perpetuating the status quo.' Loving
***** nd 'All, ALL that I Live for is Universal Loving, the Reign of the Creator, Loving, Joy, Peace, Passion. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES THIS? Those that are Family, Friends, to me, Live for the same; tho yes, I AM Loving (TOUGH) Family to all.' Loving

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
Tolstoy: "You might say one day, “I feel bored and lonely.” But who told you to forget about those around you while locking yourself in a prison called “me”?" See Lib Tab - "Wise Thoughts for Every Day"
***** DUH! 'To Live (Heart Alive - in Charge) REQUIRES risking EVERYTHING, INCLUDING PULSE, when society's status quo accepts, depends on, assures, billions in dire poverty (more).' Loving - inspired and informed by "Jesus Before Christianity," Albert Nolan (see Library tabs above)
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.
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.
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.
"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.
DANG! Just saw this: 'Pleasure is sought directly - the meal, sex, comfort.... Joy only is pursued as a byproduct, of Loving the very neediest. Having vs Being / Giving. Extrinsic vs Intrinsic. Conditional vs Unconditional.' Loving
