NO MORE PROBLEMS

Perhaps my own survival was determined by my life forces, thanks to great genetics and many environments. If principles are totally in control of your decisions, your moral standards will never be questioned by people who are Christians.. On balance: You'll never be called worthless. A bit of advice: Don't talk 'down' to people, don't repeat what you hear -- gossip can kill -- and treat ALL people as equals. Perhaps the following wisdom, penned by Bertha Adams Backus in 1911, will help you put your past where it belongs:


Build for yourself a strong box
Fashion each part with care:
When it's strong as your hand can make it,
Put all your troubles there;


Hide all thoughts of your failures,
And each bitter cup you quaff:
Lock all your heartaches within it,
Then sit on the lid and laugh!

IT WORKS!

PERPLEXITY

I've always been impressed by the movement of clouds. They, too, offer us riddles of sorts. Some just lay there amd sleep. Others dance to the sounds of trouble while outstripping the wind. All are true pictures of reality. What, one wonders, can be done to change their destinies. We do not hate them. Nor do we condone their PERPLEXITY, even though their personalities can effect the presence of tomorrow's rainbow. The skies do not offer us a choice. They exist for themselves by offering us a complex picture of actuality. Clouds are like air -- they're alive up there -- somewhere! It's up to us to deal directly with the results of their functions.

ONE WAY OUT:

Don't you believe that the way a person survives announces his/her presence on Earth? (Not a trick question) If you're not pleased with your present life-style, perhaps various, new benefits could be enjoyed if you separarte yourself from the usual. If something's broke, it's usually fixed by someone who has the knowledge to repair the transgression. You might want to reflect on what you've done right in the past and then consider this knowledge as being reasonable and applicable. Use it while being introduced to a new dimension in your life - COMMON SENSE and the meaning of CONSEQUENCE. Remember this: The professional LOSER smirks at change, then breathes hard while walking west to help the sun sink!

NOW WHAT?

A POLICE STATE exists when federal and state political and police mechanisms:

Shut down media coverage after they steal an election.

Serve the central government instead of serving the citizens.

Enforce the policies of the central government instead of responding primarily to criminal misdeeds .

Spy on and intimidate citizens .

Could it come to this?

TRUST

Today we are in the midst of political campaigns. We are confronted with the question, "Whom can you trust?"

OR

"Whom do you trust?"
