To Tell The Truth

Pulled from todays headlines -

U.S. general: No evidence Iran is arming Iraqis
Pace contradicts claims by other U.S. military, administration officials

- Who would have guessed?

Tell The Truth Already!

What a tangled web he weaves - when his practice is to deceive

More political stuff - State of the Union review

What Bush meant on:

Renewable fuels - The plan is to invade Iran and have his & Cheney's Haliburton buddies run that program like the one in Iraq.
The current situation in Iraq - Heck, if I can get the public to blame Iran for this - more oil fields for me.
Immigration reform - I only here for 2 more years, so what is there to lose in saying it?
Affordable health care - that will take more than 2 years to accomplish for sure.
Education - no child left behind - cause there's nowhere left to go - except Iraq.
Katrina & 911 rebuilding - Opps, I forgot I need the money to rebuild Iraq & invade Iran.

Things of the Mind & Soul

With a little more time on my hands than usual, my mind is spinning and my soul continues searching. The news of the day brings thoughts of worldly wars yet to come, while my soul continues searching for answers to how to procede next. It's hard to sit still for a moment in life and listen with so many things going on in the world and in one's life, but it is important to listen to your soul, rest the eyes that read so many events and not let your mind run to conclusions and answers you don't really have control over.

At times we have to sit down, shut up, observe and let life take God's designated course, for we are mere mortals despite what our ego's tell us.

Waiting for a Clue

I always find myself ranting about politics or soul searching for answers to my life's situations.

As we end this year I find myself yet again, waiting for a clue.

Having pulled myself out of a financial bind I created for myself last year, I have found myself waiting for the year to end and begin the fresh start once again. I know there is a God - for he has provided many blessings and miracles to my family and myself over the years of my life span, yet it seems so difficult to allow my restless soul to truly take in his plan for me. I tend to drift to what I think I need as opposed to letting God lead the way. I pray I can some day have God change that about me - may you all continue to feel and see his presence in our busy daily lives.

Happy New Year wishes and may God continue his Blessing to you and yours.

More Soul Food

To Whom Do I Turn?
Changing events in my life make my stomach churn,
Like a bitterness in my soul, I'm feeling it burn.
My mind asking constantly what still have I to learn?
With material & stature what else is out there to earn?
At the top of my game, something more I still yearn.
With more questions than answers, whom did I spurn?
To find true happiness, it is to God will I must turn.

As my soul turns

The Serenity Prayer says it all.
Ones life is a great struggle to accept and try to understand the things we cannot control. I had a friend who use to say we are strugglers - just getting by the grace of God, I prefer to think of us as survivors - lead by our faith in Gods will.
As this year ends, I find myself looking deep into my soul trying to find answers to things that would normally challenge ones faith due to abrupt unexpected changes in my life's plan. I have found solace in that this is not the first time I've had to let my plan go and let God's will be done. After all we are here for just a while, we must not settle for the material things in this world. If you are facing a difficult challenge - keep the faith; the power of prayer is eternal.
