Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
Has the people of the Church offended you? Matthew 27:3-8 3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. The church leaders got Jesus put to death and were careless when Judas repented of what he had done, resulting in Judas committing suicide. People will fail you. Yes, the church is full of hypocrites. Don't reject Jesus because of what has been done to you by other people. Jesus loves you so much, he let them put him to death so you do not have to die in your sins and you can have a relationship with God the father. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Take UP Your Cross Prompt: What is one crazy big, God-sized dream you have for your time here on earth, or more than one if you have them? Answer: Well, I am just starting to live it out. I have a few of these kind of dreams. I obviously want to be a published writer. I would love to go on a gospel music your as a singer. I would love to have and run my own successful business. I wouldn't mind trying a career in graphic design. I would also love to get paid to do photography. I have multi-interests. Lol  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Write about your parents and the learnt behaviours you’ve inherited from them When I read “write about your parents”, I got a little worried. After I read the rest of the sentence, that's not so bad. It's kind of a long story why I was a bit worried about that. Anyway, this question is bad enough. Lol I can see where I got some negative qualities and behaviors from them. My dad’s sharp sarcasm when angry was passed to me. My mother’s moodiness and some other health related things were handed down to me. I learned to turn to food for comfort. It was definitely a taught trait. When the family got into an argument, it was common practice to go get a McDonald's ice cream cone to make up. If you wanted my Dad's attention, talk about food or the Bible. There are a lot of memories, good ones, associated with food. Food could calm nerves, relieve boredom, and act as a distraction. Food made people happy for the most part. My financial habits came from my parents. I have to be careful not to hoard things. Hoarding is a habit learned from my parents too. There have been things I have had to work to change such as reactions to anger and grief. Blaming myself for bad things that happened to me is a habit I have had to work to change. I had to learn that I could say “No”. I had to learn that I don't owe everyone an explanation. I don't have to convince anyone of anything. I learned that sometimes you have to separate yourself from family in order to save yourself and the relationship especially if it is a toxic one. I had to learn how to set and enforce healthy boundaries with my parents. Mother smothered me. I was an only child and she was a perfectionist. Oh yeah, did I mention I got that too? (perfectionism) My Daddy was a Southern Baptist Minister. Don't breathe wrong because you will either go to Hell or make the preacher look bad. Yeah, fun times. Not! I have had to have therapy to recover from my childhood. Don't get me wrong, I loved my parents dearly. I knew my mother and understood her like the back of my hand, but we did not always agree. I am not convinced she didn't have something mentally wrong with her. She could be delusional at times and had some strange ideas and beliefs about things. My dad was more standoffish with me. He could be sweet at times, and others he was hard and unapproachable. There were tabo subjects with him. You didn't discuss them because they would set him off. When he got done discussing an issue, he would be present physically but mentally go elsewhere on purpose. I think I may have picked that up as a coping mechanism from him too. I just realized that as I was typing. They did teach me how to survive though. Dad did provide for mom and me. I have to give them credit there. When asked who my most difficult relationships in my life were with? My answer was my parents and my best friends brother, all who possessed abusive characteristics. I hate that I don't have more good things to say about my parents. I hate that our relationship was so strained and wasn't any better than it was. Well, now you know why I didn't want to talk much about my parents anyway. You got me started, and it isn't a subject I like to discuss because of these negative emotions it brings up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Use these words in your blog entry today: turquoise, sunset, sand, icicles, corpse and silence. Reflecting in the sun during the sunset, there was a body lying in the sand on the beach with something looking like turquoise icicles on the hands. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Prompt: I was ctuising the galaxy with the Pink Panther and found this planet: 🎼 RRodgersWrites 🎶 (247) Read this cute item:
Write about Jack Frost. I say he vacations like everyone else in the summer. Why not? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  How do you feel about the Olympics being held with Covid still an issue? Should they have postponed them again? Should they have made vaccinations mandatory before competing ? Is the risk really worth the possible loss of life? I have mixed feelings about this. I think percautions should be taken. I am definitely for people being vaccinated. How did getting vaccinated against a virus become a topic of religious controversy anyway? Just say. Really people? Although, that is besides the point. I think spectators at least should wear face coverings too. On the other hand, we can not constantly live our lives in fear. That can kill us too.
