Violence is the answer when people disagree. There is no freedom because you will not do as others say. Persecution for your faith is getting worse everyday. Wickedness has replaced righteousness, that is the new way. God is rejected and left out of everything. Fear and uncertainty fills our daily lives. People are devoid of humanity and care only about themselves. There is no hope for for for man's utopia, without God the world is becoming a living hell. People wander around lost in their sins. They walk around blindly wondering how it will end?

If I pray for you will you hate me? If I ask the Divine to have mercy on you, will you accept it? If I plead for your soul, will you think less of me? Even if the god I pray to is not the one that you seek, will you still accept compassion from me? If I pray for you, will you do the same for me?

God is someone who loves all of his children, no matter what we may look like. He is loving kind and gentle, but firm like a father would be. Many ask the question what is God, but what we should be asking, is Who is God to each of us.

Emotions separate us and tear us apart. Distrust, suspicion and lies are the things that get in our way. We throw up barriers to protect ourselves. Physical barriers such a separation and distance from the ones we used to love. We set up emotional barriers to guard our heart so that we won't be hurt again. Brick by Brick we build these obstructions, the things that keep us from really living Our Lives. Until we begin to Tear Down the Walls that we build, we cannot again feel the warmth of love and know trust nor can we begin to heal until this is done

Then
They look at us and they call us crazy. They think we're a bit out of touch. What they fail to get is what we have gained, and what we would like to share with them so much. We accept what they call impossible, yet miracles happen everyday. We are taught to show mercy and kindness, but to stand with resolve and seek Justice. People ask us how we can live this way. To know the person of Jesus, is to begin to understand that we are never on our own, for our God has a master plan. When the world looks at us, what they really don't see. Is that because of what we believe, we have been forgiven and are set free.

The dark clouds rolled in and the rain falls bitter and cold. The birds have stopped singing, and leaves have all turned Brown. I sit here in my solitude, waiting for something to change. Each day I grow a little emptier,as I try to deal with the pain. Once the world was bright and happy, but then you went away. Now I sit here alone w/o,seeing where did the sunshine go?

Kick the ball, pass the ball, catch the ball, the simplest of definitions. All sports have the basic underpinnings. We watch to be inspired, we watch to be entertained. We get a thrill from the excitement and drama that comes from the team we love winning or losing it all. Until now, there has been sports, but no longer is this the case. The sacred arena has been turned into a political theater littered with nay Sayers and contrived outrage. 24/7 in a news cycle, we succumb to the volatile nature of confrontation. Our national pastime, our favorite hoops shooter or the fastest running back was our escape. Now millionaires not content with fame and large sums of money, must pollute the sports we love with their fake outrage. Sixty minuets in a football game or 3 hours in a baseball arena. One hour on a basketball court or a few periods on center ice. Hundreds of hours pass in a month where a person can make a statement, but when they defile the sports we love, then truly there is no game, just a sad rendition of failed lives that only want attention they feel they cannot get anywhere else.
