I am confident you have heard the same definition of insanity as I have heard: continuing to do the same thing expecting a different result.

That fits this racism war. I am 68 years young. All my life here in America we have been doing the same thing expecting a different result regarding racism. We hate. We fight. We loot. We burn. We kill. We continually rehash generations gone; and today’s sins we plaster on every digital screen we can find: Network media, cable media, social media. Why?

It’s not working! We are not curing what ails us. And by these means, we never will. Racism will NEVER die in America this way. Not with protest – peaceful or violent. Not with media coverage. Not with more knowledge. Not with plastering our social media apps with the sins of we the people. It has not worked all these years and it will NEVER work. We will never bring peace, equality, and harmony this way. Because peace, equality, and harmony is not the goal – not for the majority. If it were, we’d have it already.

Hate lives deep. Its roots are balled in the heart of every racist of every shade. There is a cure. A few have found this cure. A few are living in peace, equality, and harmony. A few have met in the aisles of Walmart for the first time of varying shades from pale to dark and have laughed and hugged and prayed, looking forward to seeing one another again. Again and again, it happens. Day after day, year after year. The Cure works!

Racism dies when hate dies and hate dies when one by one, self dies to self and lives to Christ.

It’s a process and per our digital screens, hardly any of us have gotten on board. Honestly, I’m not looking to see folks lining up for The Cure. I’d like to but I’m a realist. It’s costly and few are willing to pay the price. But for those few who have and those who are now willing, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Just a Thought

As the title says, Just a thought.

1 Thessalonians 2:18 Amplified Bible (AMP)
18 For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again [wanted to come], but Satan hindered us.   source

It is satan’s business, his agenda and his aim to keep us apart; Christians apart from other Christians for fellowship and encouragement and apart from the Undisciplined, so they will not be converted.

How Busy?

May I propose a thought to you?

Romans 1:20.

It’s a familiar verse to us Bible Thumpers.

20 His invisible attributes—His eternal power and His divine nature—have been clearly seen ever since the creation of the world, being understood through the things that have been made. So people are without excuse—   source

Have we considered the reason for the all-out assault Creation has weathered for many decades can be found in this verse?

It says the attributes, eternal power, divine nature have been clearly seen and we can come to some understanding of HIM through His creation.

Attributes. What GOD is like. Well, from creation, even without my Bible,  I know He is way smart and way kind! How He constructed the planet, how it functions in harmony with the bazillion components of it; how mama birds feed baby birds; how dogs love humans; etc. etc. etc.

Eternal power. Just what I can see with my naked eye, let alone a microscope and a telescope, tell me nothing matches His power and it never runs out.

Divine Nature. Yep. Creation tells me I am not like Him. He is divine. I’m not.

So, if I want to know there is a GOD and that HE is good and that HE is kind and loves me, all I have to do is look around me; and even in the mirror.

Is it any wonder then that there would be those who would want to discredit, nullify or just flat-out keep us too busy to look?
