How how are you flying today?
Take a moment to laugh at yourself.
Take a moment to laugh at the stupidity of others. (Not at the person, him/self, pls.)
Take a moment to evaluate, assess, regroup and move on.
You know what they say…
It’s Friday. It can only get better from here.
Enjoy your weekend!
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Ephesians 4:2
When you’re feeling weary, ragged and beaten, it’s hard to remember better days.
When pain consumes your heart, it’s difficult to have clear vision beyond the moment.
When you’ve been stabbed, betrayed, accused, and shattered, it’s grueling to look past the shattered dreams.
Yet, just beyond the horizon, the sun is readying it’s radiance.
Just beyond the forest, the brilliance will be peeking through.
When you feel it’s warmth and affection, strength will be revived.
When you see it’s radiance in full, hope will be renewed.
Hold still.
He heals the brokenhearted
Psalm 147:3
And binds up their wounds.
Be still, and know that I am God;
Psalm 46:10
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
The saying goes, “Time heals all wounds.”
The truth is in the clock that is ticking and the hand that is scratching.
If the hours are sped up, the wound cannot mend itself and breathe.
If the hours are slowed, the agony can be unbearable.
If the fingers pester and pick, the cut cannot strengthen and bind.
If the hand never soothes, the bruise will still groan.
But if the hour glass does its duty, and the palms will appease,
The lesion is quickly dissipated, and the scar will begin to appear.
So, don’t stop the minutes.
Never withhold the care.
These are vital for our healing and our reviving.
Tomorrow will soon be here.
Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
Isaiah 58:8
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
Are you one to reflect or to react?
Are you one to shout or to soothe?
Are you one to pause and breathe or to stomp and run?
In high profile training operations, the first rule of explosive response, or any violent attack on a unit, is to assess yourself before assessing others.
For, if you don’t take the time to evaluate your bullet entry and see your blood,
You cannot accurately see or help to heal the one beside you.
In this life, you will have trouble.
You will have pain, and you will have sudden impalements to the soul.
How you respond and retaliate will determine how many others you can help save and heal.
Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
1 Samuel 30:6
Sometimes, you’ve just got to dance.
Dance like you don’t care.
Dance like nobody is there.
But for goodness’ sake woman.
Open your eyes and look in the mirror to make sure!
Haha! Hope you’re laughing today.
Happy April Fool’s Day.
Enjoy your weekend!
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
Proverbs 31:25
she can laugh at the days to come.
This is a perfect sentiment for the end of some crazy weeks.
Hope you’re laughing and enjoy your weekend ahead!
Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.
Ephesians 4:26-27
When you are a truth speaker, you may not always be liked.
When you are a truth seeker, you may not always be loved.
But if truth is your cross to bear, it will always carry your weight.
The weight of your pain.
The weight of your burden.
The weight of your purpose.
It will not fail you. It will not falter.
Even when all assault you and leave you for dead.
Truth will pick you up, bind your wounds, heal your heart and set you free.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6
Our society is full of overrated success stories and braggadocios achievements.
Once you enter that arena, it’s hard to walk in humility toward your goals.
And in nanoseconds, the competition and back biting that occurs can reduce even your small beliefs of survival to an overwhelming feeling of defeat.
But if you’ll begin to build your world with the bricks of humility, determination, and grace,
You’ll get there, even if no one knows it.
And when you reach the top, you’ll have time to set your feet solidly in the accomplishments before the champion knows what has happened.
So, press on. Work on. Reach those goals.
And win.
You can talk all day and never be understood.
You can talk “till you’re blue in the face” and never have comprehension.
Oh, but when you have who someone who gets you,
When you have that someone who understands even without words,
That’s when the chaos is silenced.
That’s when the storms are calmed.
It’s not because the tragedies change or the situation miraculously alters.
It’s simply because that someone will speak to the depth of your soul and bring a peace within.
That is when your heart is understood.
You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.
Psalm 139:2
Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Romans 8:27
Warning signs and advice aren’t offered because someone is trying to be a killjoy.
Rules and directions aren’t given because someone is trying to restrict your freedom.
Boundaries are set for our safety.
Barriers are placed to protect others from recklessness.
Sometimes on rare occasions, there may be a person or organization that has become power hungry and feeds on the controlling of someone else.
But those tendencies can be easily observed through reputation, rapport, and the consistency of the restrictions.
But for the most part, when you see an attention getter, a show stopper, or a poised hand making you stop, there’s a rhyme for that reason.
And the reason could very well save your life.
So next time, take a minute to breathe. Step back and assess the situation. And follow the signs to a greater liberty than you once knew.
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know thetruth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:32
My son, do not forget my law,
Proverbs 3:1-8
But let your heart keep my commands;
For length of days and long life
And peace they will add to you. Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem
In the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.

My journey didn’t stop with mere time travel or writing; it led me to become one of the most sought-after empaths, a soulful psychic who reads the hidden depths of the human spirit. I’ve been blessed—or perhaps burdened—with an ability that allows me to feel the emotions of people from every corner of time.

Poetry for Finding Meaning in the Madness
Dedicated to movie nerdom, nostalgia, and escape. In the late 90s, I worked at Blockbuster Video where they let me take home two free movies a day. I caught up on the classics and reviewed theatrical releases for Denver 'burbs newspapers and magazines. Today, while raising two young, beautiful daughters with my amazing wife, I look forward to anything rated R and not Bluey. Comments and dialogue encouraged!
