IDEAS ON HOW TO LIVE

1. After spending a lifetime loving my parents, siblings, spouse, children, and friends—I’ve finally started loving myself.

2. I’ve realized that I am not “Atlas.” The world doesn’t rest on my shoulders.

3. I no longer haggle with vegetable or fruit vendors. A few extra pennies won’t hurt me, but it might help them save for their daughter’s school fees.

4. I always leave my waitress a generous tip. That little extra might bring a smile to her face as she works hard for her living.

5. I’ve stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already repeated that story. It allows them to relive their precious memories.

6. I no longer feel the need to correct people, even when I know they’re wrong. It’s not my job to make everyone perfect—peace is far more valuable than perfection.

7. I freely give compliments. They lift the mood of both the giver and receiver. And remember, if you receive one, never turn it down—just say “Thank you.”

8. A crease or spot on my shirt? I don’t sweat it anymore. Personality speaks louder than appearances.

9. I’ve learned to walk away from people who don’t value me. They may not know my worth, but I do.

10. I stay calm when others try to outrun me in life’s rat race. I am not a rat, and I’m not racing.

11. I’m no longer embarrassed by my emotions—they’re what make me human.

12. I’ve learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. Ego isolates, but relationships keep you connected.

13. I live each day as if it could be my last, because one day, it just might be.

14. And lastly, I’m doing what makes me happy. I’m responsible for my happiness, and happiness is a choice you can make at any moment.

Why wait until we’re 60, 70, or 80 to start living this way? Let’s practice these lessons now, at any age.

WHAT I HOPE FOR

It is not any one person or political

Party, but my confidence is in

Almighty God through faith in His Son,

Jesus Christ. I want to share the truth

Not only of the day, but of the Bible

And all of His love and salvation

Now and in the future. I put my trust

In Him and not the media which

Presents bias and lies. We must

Ignore the media especially in this

Election and know that how we vote

Will have implications for our freedom

And welfare. There is much evil and

Many lies and false interpretations

Like we have seen frequently in recent

Years and elections. We must pray for

Our nation and our leaders, even the

Evil ones. We must vote for our future.

If you like the last four years, then vote

For Kamala. If you preferred the way

We had it, by the grace of God, the

Previous four years then you should

Vote for Donald Trump, who led us to

Be great again. Many of his policies

Were upended by the Biden-Harris

Administration.

THE CHOICE BETWEEN TWO AMERICAS

I don’t blindly vote for any party or person.

I support candidates who follow our

Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

Those who have positions consistent

With the purpose of our Creator, by whom

We are endowed with certain unalienable

Rights, “including “Life, Liberty and the pursuit

Of Happiness.” The right to life includes

The life s of the unborn without exception.

I wonder how those advocating abortion

Would feel if their mothers has aborted them.

The Democratic ticket represents an anti-God

Socialism that will fleece our citizens out of

Our hard-won freedoms and hard-earned dollars.

State and local candidates support these positions.

Republican positions at all levels, although not

Perfect, reflect a greater commitment to the

Founding ideals of life and liberty. They defend

Religious freedom; protect the unborn; support

Our military and law enforcement; stand by Israel

Without conditions, guard our borders and

National security; back a conservative judiciary;

And promote fiscal responsibility. We want a strong

America that leads and sets standards not an

America that is decaying from within, and throwing

Common sense and decency to the wind, and is

Doing everything it can to control us. How we vote

In this election will have implications for our freedom.

Evil is on the march. We should pray for our nation.

WHAT I WRITE

I write down words that come into

My head. They are gifts from God, Who

Wants me to lead in a quiet angelic way.

I am thankful for the responsibilities

He has given to me. I know that I need the

Holy Spirit to walk with me in everything that I do.

I do not expect miracles like the parting

Of the sea, but I would not discourage

Him if He allowed our enemies to be

Swallowed up by flood waters or devoured

By flames so that we may have peace. It

Is easy to understand evil and the desire

To control and suppress people. We find

Ourselves following idols and having

Ready reasons for doing so then the

Accusations that we on the right are

Doing the same thing and may the best

Man win. There is a cost to such evil.

MY TEAM VERSUS YOURS

This is fun when it is just sports.

You can’t determine results

By cheating or telling lies.

But when it comes to politics

Just about anything goes.

The mainstream media is ninety

Percent negative when it comes

To Trump, while praising the

Kamala, watching her turn the page,

Or just telling lies and never answering

The questions asked of her. She says

What she is going to do on day one

When she hasn’t done anything

Positive for almost four years. She

Has a plan for an opportunity economy

But doesn’t explain except that it will

Be funded by the government, meaning

Our tax dollars. She has left the border

Open and calls the illegals guests. She

Did spend twenty minutes in Arizona near

The border for a photo op. The FEMA money

Needed now for Hurricane Helena victims

Was used to house, feed, school and heal

The illegals. I guess that is what you do for

Guests. Joe and Kamala were late to arrive

To talk to and council the hurricane victims.

Donald Trump was there on day one.

Let us Turn the page on Kamala.

WHAT’S UP WITH THAT

The P-Diddy crowd

Harvey Weinstein’s too

They embrace Kamala

So why don’t you?

Trump was crude

Said “off the cuff” things

Accomplished over a hundred

When he was the so-called king

All of this, too, while under attack

Impeachment and trials, convictions

Contrived attempts to stop him

Under unfavorable conditions

He lost his reelection

Where dead people voted

No, the election was fair

Those on the left were quoted

Kamala rose from her knees to the

Office of Vice-President

She saw the White House

As a potential residence

She opened the border which

Trump had under control

Let in millions of illegals

Criminals racked up a death toll

And when the puppeteers

Pulled the rug out from under Joe

It was time for her to put on a show

When asked what her plans were

She said she was from the middle class

The moderators being very civil

Let this answer pass

She would tax the rich and

Make them pay their fair share

Tax unrealized capital gains

Who it hurt she didn’t care

She would build millions of houses

Give young couples a start

Leaving our injured soldiers

To sleep under a tarp.

She promised this and

Turned the page on that

Would sign into law bills

That had a lot of pork and fat.

She watched Minneapolis burn

In the summer of joy and raised

Money for the criminal’s bail

While the city continues to blaze

She will do from her day one

What she hasn’t done so far

She even is in denial that

She was the border czar

Kamala could do things now

But while out on the stump

Turns the page on her record

And puts the blame on Trump

It will all play out

And will a big if

We’ll survive with the Donald

Or go over the cliff

THIS DAY

This day is a gift sometimes

Hard to recognize in the midst

Of chaos. Our critical thinking

Must supersede and depression,

And our desire to make things

Better for others must prevail.

We must give of ourselves willingly

For the purpose of helping others.

Our time is short but the opportunities

Are great. We trust in the direction

That Jesus gave us and with the

Holy Spirit ready to guide us we can make

Our living purposeful and fulfilling. We are

The chosen one it is up to us to remain

Steadfast and strong on our mission.

We will face rejection but must persevere

For what we are doing is what our

Savior intended us to do. We are

Working for the salvation of our souls

And a room in the Father’s Home.

BUSY AT A RALLY

A rally for Kamala and a nap for Joe.

Donald goes to survey the damage

Caused by Hurricane Helena. He

Does his best in reassuring the

Leaders and people that the

Government will do the best at

Helping restore electricity and

Getting water and food where

They are needed. Some of the

Clearing has taken place, but

Rushing water is a big hindrance.

When the time is right FEMA will

Begin to bring things back to normal

But it will take a long time to get

Everything restored to how it was.

The storm was devastating and

Did untold damage and took the

Lives of over a hundred citizens.

We pray for them and their families.

Several states were affected by

Helena including Florida, Georgia

The Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia

And Ohio. Meanwhile, Israel is trying to

Take out Hamas and Hezbollah and

Possibly Iran if they continue to

Interfere. Damage there is in the

Billions. God help us all.
