Fear of Missing Out

 Fear

Preparedness... Mookie Betts of the LA Dodgers is facing former Astros and current Rays pitcher Charles Alfred Morton IV in the 2020, COVID shortened season ending, World Series. Mookie is prepared to swing at a good pitch. He has no fear of missing out. He gets his turn to bat, and he makes the most of it. He’s not concerned with what happened the at bat before him, or his last at bat for that matter. He’s only interested in doing what he can do with Charlie Morton’s next pitch. 

I had taken some time away from social media. It was much needed time away, and I have no regrets. It made me realize just how much of the real me, and the real world I was missing out on. I had a special day with special people, some great surprises, and much needed alone time with d.o.g, and G.O.D. Fear of missing out, transformed to faithfully overcoming my opposition. You’re in the batters box, what are you prepared to do with the next pitch? Beware of the intentional pass. The enemy may give you a base, but what will you do to get home? What will you do with the next pitch? 

Peace, blessings, and joy...

Where Are You Getting Your Info?

Would you ask a Yamaha fanatic about whether the Honda is faster than the Yamaha? Would you ask a finance manager if you can afford the faster Yamaha, when he hasn't had anyone in his office for a month? Would you ask the sales person which bike is the baddest, when he's led every potential buyer to the one bike in the corner covered in dust? If you answered yes to any of those please reread this paragraph.

Would you ask Fox News, CBS, NBC, or NPR about which candidate to vote for? Would you ask anyone that badmouths every candidate in a particular party without even knowing who they are, who to vote for? On that note, I am a bit let down by Franklin Graham now. Ben Carson is not perfect, but I don't see him being any less a Christian than either of the Presidents Bush. I know that sounds funky, but those of you with smarts will get it. Now Franklin Graham is saying he will not endorse a Republican, and that voters should vote for the person that represents Christian values the most. Mr. Carson has his biography and movie based on his life in Christian book stores started by Mr. Graham's father and he will not endorse him. Hmmmm... And then there's the Madonna of candidates, "Drop the Bush," Jeb we all know who you are, where you come from, and who's now not admitting to follow. 

Would you ask a person down and out, that's barely making it, or not even making it to help you figure out your finances? Wait Tyler Perry has a "movie," "The Family That Preys," with a former financial expert advising a single grandmother about her investments doesn't he? That's your one exception, if that one applies, even. Moving right along...

Are you looking for a new church? Would you ask an atheist to assist you with that? Would you ask a protestant about a mosque, or a kingdom hall to attend, or vice-versa? Have you tried the spirit to see that its true? (I John 4:1-5) Pick a version of the Holy Bible, it'll all bring you to the truth if you seek it. Because if you seek His guidance and not an unreliable source, you'll find the proper answer. Find your source, and then you'll find your answer.

Would you seek a person that has no life, messes in the lives of everyone else because of it, to help you find your place in life? I think these are all very valid questions. I am looking for a rational nation to not look to take our country back, but instead to take it forward!

Until then... I'll be riding my R1 as an independent to the polls, and as a Christian to the open air meeting on the mountain soon if any of you care to join me.
