PILLARS OF SALT

We have a beautiful world. Even when

we are not looking it is there for us.

At the same time, we may be enjoying

this gift we are also facing a world full

of hatred, brutality, and cruelties.

These create sorrow in those who

are sensitive to the dark side of mankind.

To walk away from this darkness without

trying to put an illumination on it would

not speak well of one’s character. To

stand by in an effort to overcome speaks

well of those who realize that you can

not just walk away from darkness and

expect to live with stability. There is

always a price to pay for foolishness

and facing up to this will sometimes

cause depression which will only be

overcome by a turnaround of the potential

coward. Life is a precious gift not realized

by all. The gift is beauty, which may turn

into tragedy if not nourished. This gift is peace

if not left to stray into tough environments.

Too often what was rare turns into the commonplace

and is even encouraged by those who prefer darkness.

They break down structure and abandon what were

 the rules of law, so there is nothing to hang on to

 when we are in hopes of solutions. When our

leaders facilitate wrongdoings, even allowing and

encouraging them we have to retreat

back into what we were and realize that we were

and are the precious gift. We must reconstruct our

thinking and seek out the truth which is no easy

chore when we are surrounded by failed people.

We must bring light not only to ourselves but to

them also. After continual effort, we may partially

succeed, but this success must be accompanied by

a determination to continue until all bases are

covered. This turning inward to the truth will be

our salvation.

Two dictators. One was named Vladimir

and the other was Volodymyr. The first

blew up churches in Ukraine

and the other closed the Orthodox

church in Ukraine to its people.

Millions of dollars in damage,

a nation of broken people still

willing to fight. Refugees by the

hundreds of thousands, hungry

and cold all because of the need

to land grab. NATO is doing

something, but what. The

U.S.A. is sending equipment

for defense plus billions of dollars,

while at home they pass unread bills

which honor themselves and build

fences for another country to the

tune of 400 million dollars while

leaving our southern border open.

If the people of Ukraine win,

will they take over Russia and

then be aggressive against the

NATO countries? What do

dictators do? They reach for

more power. The people suffer

and are deprived. We beg for

oil while aborting our own drilling.

we close the pipelines to refineries;

open our border and watch humans

suffer; die from contaminated drugs.

get caught up in human trafficking

which means rape and death.

We shall overcome, eventually,

and put an end to this. We must

choose our leaders wisely and

prosecute the violators. We must

recognize the True Leader, the

Shepherd, who is the Light. Only

Then will we know what peace is.
