INTO THE ABYSS 191 A

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 191 A Well, so far I did survive my stress test, I didn't have a seizure or a stroke, so that is a good thing, I suppose the doctor will look at the report and call me in a few days. Life is strange, regardless of what the corporations tell us, want us to believe, we get old, older, everyday. We spend most of our time wanting to get "older" ( as in to continue living), without getting older. Right. Young people in the teens think that people in their 20s are older, in 20s we think of 30s as older and so on. We spend most of our lives as "old" people, if we live long enough. As the Eminem song says "I love the way you lie", and there is no better lie we wish to hear than , "you are not old". Well, I am old! And I love it, I wouldn't have leaned as much by dying early/ier. Not trying to be cute here. I am still learning, everyday, and thinking, new things and old things, lessons I learned, and things I didn't learn a very long ago when I had a chance, but didn't. I am not as lucky as so many us are that know everything and have a solution to every single problem, in most cases it is just that "one thing". One and the same! When someone is selected as a guard for " the Tomb of the Unknown " they sign up to a code of conduct, it is for the rest of their life, the Mafia has code, so do the gangs, and there is a code of conduct for a soldier and an officer, you follow that code, in every and all situations, always. A month or so ago, I wrote what are your beliefs, what code do you follow, are you true to that code at all times or do you make exceptions? We always fall short, most of us do. We make excuses. It is not new with me, many years ago I stated, we need "boundaries of character" what is acceptable and it should apply to everyone, at all times and without exceptions. No society can function without such boundaries. Yet we expect all others to have boundaries but not us. Look around, this is why we are failing, we swear while we have our fingers crossed behind our backs. We are failing. We don't keep our word but we want others to be honest, and fair and just. So what is your standard, are you true I'm your words and deeds or do you just want others to do what you are not willing to do yourself. It is really not that complicated, 2 Timothy 2:11-12 The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us The words alone are not enough, righteousness is not proved by words but by acts,, but you always knew that I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M.
