“Caught in the web of destruction? How to get out.” by Julie Ainger

Healed people heal people.Sometimes though.It takes a lot of digging.A lot. Of digging.For truth.For lies.Digging to discover whether or not. Seeking daily whether or not…..Does God really lived beyond the skies?None of us know. Until we get “there”. There are better ways to discover. The truth though. Some of us have worn our shields of armor for our whole life. Our masks. Forgetting to put them down, take them off.

“Plan B? …The Audacity of the Mind Fr**ck” by Julie Ainger

At some point. One must declare intentions. Their intentions Wouldn’t you agree… The color-blind or rainbow intentions.Folks are weary. Folks are tired. Of your belief in you, their belief in you, and that they factually idolized you. Really, what they had hoped for, prayed for (although, it was never really declared by you) who or if you prayed. For or to aGod.Out of respect for who I thought you may become, to represent the whole people. By the people. For the people. I took my time to read your words, your thoughts. I read the first one, ...

“Numbing the Pain. Dead upon Consumption. Pick your Poision. Hopping on The God train?” by Julie Ainger

Time will tell. It usually does.A Time for Choosing (RR)Choose carefully.Over-thinking has its fans in the fan club…..of the wall stall. Allowing Lord knows what into the foundational landscape.Conventional Wisdom. How far does everyone have to go down before building a brighter future? (gb)Without the nucleaus , the nuclear family, there is no real structure (sb). There is total and complete confusion. Too much doubt stirs the pot of the never-ending glory of the story.Like a bad boil that juts or jets out from the nugget goo-ey center.Goes...

“Why Loudness. Why Silence. Was I born this way born this Way………” by Julie Ainger

Challenge accepted.Say what you need to say.Remember. It is never advisable, never good to allow a person access to information when and if, or if and when they cannotHandle it.The outcome could be a catastrophe-for-exploitation path. Of an access to evil.Never one to back down from an argument, a quarrel, a debate?Challenge accepted.Perseverance. Perception. Perfection. All matter.Prescription? Well. That changes over time. And that is not good for the silence, the loudness.No chance to fake it ‘til you make it allowed. You’re already “dead...

“When you make a fist, it makes your heart work harder. ” by Julie Ainger

Soooooooo………Whatever happens. Make it count.Coming to terms with the way we were raised is some, if not, the most important work we do. Whatever street you were raised on, whatever schooling you advanced through. Draw on it now. Prevail against the status quo now more than ever. The most important work we do is to prepare ourselves and our loved ones for the tasks of life ahead. And that is:To live our life as we see fit. And how God sees we fit into the greater world. Our place in His world. He exercises our hearts by the challenges he best...

“Who Cut the Cheese?” by Julie Ainger

Lest we forget.It is never good to be in an enclosed space, unable to open the windows when an “eeeeker” wafts in the air. If it is adventure you want, it is adventure you will get.😩Heck. For most of us, simply being born embarks our journey of a lifetime, our adventure, our lesson in long haul living. Hopefully. We will not run out of gas.😵‍💫 Or. Is it just a rotten egg? Or bad fish. Whatever it is, it can just plain stink. Leave a bad taste in our mouth.Windows open. Windows shut. Doors open. Doors shut. Who cut the cheese? I need to plug ...

“Weathering the Storms. Calming the Waters. An Act of God.” by Julie Ainger

The test of Faith.The test of faith.Which way do you choose to capitalize?On. Or. With.Choose with. Choose life. Show up. Let it Out. All hang out?The baggage and the beast may be one in the same. Carrying it with you without the easy strength to easily let it go. Life is complicated. Does not have to be. But it is. At some point. You gotta pick a side.A different bag entirely? -different than the free expression of tolerance. The freedom to worship. The spirit of the “game”. The freedom to move about the cabin if you will. The game of life....

Lyrics by Supertramp:”So, you think you’re a RomeoPlaying a part in a picture showWell, take the long way homeTake the long way home’Cause you’re the joke of the neighborhoodWhy should you care if you’re feeling’ good?Well, take the long way homeTake the long way homeThere are times when you feet you’re part of the sceneryAll the greenery is comin’ down, boyAnd then your wife seems to think you’re part of the furnitureOh, it’s peculiar, she used to be so niceWhen lonely days turn to lonely nightsYou take a trip to the city lightsAnd take the...
