nd "IF ALL THE WORLD'S RICH VANISHED, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE POOR? IF ALL THE WORLD'S POOR VANISHED, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE RICH, YOU?" Paraphrase, Manfred Max-Neef, "Barefoot Economics." (see Lib Tab)
The idea was presented in Manfred Max-Neef's "Barefoot Economics." Someone in his meeting said, 'Our countries would do much better if the 'indians' in our countries just vanished. He posed the question to a group of economists, as I recall, in South America - 'What would happen to the rich in south america if all the poor suddenly vanished?' It was immediately vanished, that the economy, the life-style of the rich would instantly collapse. He then asked, 'What would happen to the poor if the rich in south america instantly vanished?' It was instantly recognized that the life of the poor would immediately improve. The audience found this shocking and disturbing, and obvious, upon reflection.

What would BE much better in a last desperate attempt to 'heart paddle,' 'incense,' 'WAKE PEOPLE UP?!?!?'
What would improve these?
For now, the final versions will be on Penn Ave in front of the can emb.
If I receive the near certain death sentence from the cancer doc - dead by year end - next thursday, I expect to begin walking along our coasts, till the cancer takes me, starting where Sandy wrecked things, and without stopping fossil fuels, what they are repairing will all go down again, soon, and again, and again...

2 Timothy 2:4 Paul: "No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the concerns of civilian life; he seeks to please the recruiter." [From friend Leon]
2 Timothy 2:4 Paul: "No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the concerns of civilian life; he seeks to please the recruiter." [From friend Leon]
Leon, that was a great kindness to share that with me. I had
zero recollection of that verse, but I find it massively affirming
of my walk.
My experience of life is that there is, there IS, a Path, before,
during, and after Jesus, put there by the
Creator. But as Newton pointed out Gravity,
Jesus discovered and pointed out the Path - Loving, Universal Family. If two
people walk the Path, one found it (Jesus), pointed it out, walked it, but the other
was too stupid to understand (me) his words, too cowardly
to follow his Lead, at first, had to find it, learn it, learn the Hell
of all the other wide open Errors...
When the 2nd, the stupid one (me), the cowardly
one (me), finally has walked the Path for a
long time, figuring it out for himself, he becomes of the
Path, and Knows it, if by different words than those that went
before.
AND WHEN HE HEARS THE WORDS OF THE EARLIER MASTERS,
[IN THIS CASE, PAUL] HE KNOWS THEM, EVEN IF HE HASN'T
'HEARD' THEM BEFORE.
Thanks Leon.

In 2 Timothy 2:4,
Paul tells us that “No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the
concerns of civilian life; he seeks to please the recruiter.” We somehow
have forgotten about this part of scripture. It’s always far more
convenient to only talk about those areas that are comfortable for us,
or the commands with which we don’t struggle. In the passage above, the
recruiter is obviously Jesus. He loves you and has been drawing you
towards Him your entire life. Getting “entangled in the concerns of
civilian life” means becoming obsessed with achieving success outside of
His kingdom or constantly striving to acquire all the stuff that your
neighbors and society at large have convinced you that you need.
We were called to be different (John 17:14; 1 Peter 2:9).
Our lives should not look like that of our neighbors. Our lives should
look like Jesus. The things we live for make no sense to the world at
large. Nor should what they live for make any sense to us. What
difference does the size of your television make in the grand scheme of
eternity? Whose life will be changed by the type of car you drive? Will
anyone’s eternal destiny be secured based on what brand of purse you
carry?
Nothing we achieve or acquire
in this life counts for anything in the Kingdom of God. All that matters
is what we do for Jesus. Instead of buying that new television, what if
you made it possible for someone without food to have a warm and
nutritious meal? In lieu of purchasing the new BMW, how about putting a
roof over the head of a homeless person? And before dropping several
hundred dollars down on that new Louis Viton bag, perhaps instead
consider providing clothing for the poor family down the street.
Our lives must look
different. Our motives must always be to serve and to love. We have one
goal in life: to further the mission of Jesus and bring glory to God.
Few would think joining the military was just an easy paycheck and they
could do whatever they wanted. No, signing up for service necessitates a
great responsibility and commitment. If you get recruited into the army
and decide to live your life in direct opposition to what you are told
to do, you will find yourself court martialed, disgraced, and eventually
kicked out.
If we would serve God, we bear
the responsibility and commitment to do the things He commands us to do.
Our lives are no longer ours. Everything we do is for His glory and His
purposes. We can’t be dedicated to Christ and remain loyal to this
world. Don’t worry about what the neighbors will say. You’re not here to
please the neighbors. We’re either on mission for Christ or living in
direct opposition to Him. Don’t be foolish. Be devoted to the One who
has called you to serve Him. Do it well, and do it with all your heart.

Cancer Update: Walk Cross Country till the cancer takes me with signs saying: "HOW STUPID R U? STOP GLOBAL WARMING! NOW!!!""
:-) Not so 'fine.' Awoke last night gasping for air!?!? I'm pretty certain
the cancer has spread too far and fast to be curable now. The poor
folks hospital oncologist really mis-led me four months ago saying
that the best I could hope for was 18 months additional with 6 months
chemo. The Georgetown Doc 2 weeks ago said full cure is what he
would have expected, operation, if he'd received these results 4 months ago, instead
of now. If I'd been told this 4 months ago it would have been a
no-brainer to me. My best guess is that Howard U uses chemo as a money
mill$$$. :-(
I had time to think last night, with the breathing problems, and yes,
if the cancer is not curable, walking across country, with signs
saying something like:
"HOW STUPID R U?
STOP GLOBAL WARMING! NOW!!!"...
...on my back, and the
front of a push cart, are how I think I'd finish out in the months
before the cancer takes me.
