What is it you don't understand?

What is it you don't understand? Should I dumb down the answer for you just a little? Would you like me to put my stuff in a coloring book so you can disregard common sense, scrawl all over the information and draw outside the lines? What colors would you need... red and black? Everything is anger and hatred.... SO THERE! Your world is black with red pain oozing from the open wounds and the SCREAMING...... oh god the incessant SCREAMING...

Then let me scream a little LOUDER.....

Would you like me to write it in braille so you can pound your forehead against the screen and read the words in the PAIN IN YOUR HEAD?

Would you like me to bend the answer onto the head of a branding iron so you can heat it to RED, a color you know well, and sear the answer onto the flesh of your ass, which is where most of your BRAINS are STORED?

Would you like me ferment the answer in my still until it is 200 proof and when you drink it the only brain cells left in your ass will be the ones that SPELL OUT THE ANSWER?

Would that help? I DOUBT IT!

But please feel free to ask me any questions. I am always open and ready with answers.

Faith and Belief

A Good Friend once told me "Optimism is never empty,..It is always loaded with hopes and possibilities, and when there are possibilities,everything is possible....Have Faith in God and in yourself...and everything will be fine". I tend to disagree, and here is why......

I have seen empty optimism and it is worse than pointless in that it can be destructive. Hopes and possibilities are intangibles, just like wishes and dreams; and they too can be destructive if that is all we have. And I think that it is BELIEF in God, not Faith. Faith is something he expects us to have and it is an Action Verb; it is something we DO! I will argue this point with anyone. If we have faith, then we have committment and a vision and nothing will stand in our way. It may be your Belief in God that gives you the Faith but you are the instrument of Faith! Faith is not believing that God will smite your enemies. Faith is smiting your enemies because of your belief.

Too many people say they have faith and then they sit on their thumbs waiting on God to deliver. We shouldn't get lost in our dreams, we have to wake up and live in our Faith. And Faith and Belief are two separate things and we should never confuse the two.
