From the King James Version of the Bible. Ecclesiastes 3.1
1] To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
[2] A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
[3] A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
[4] A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
[5] A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
[6] A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
[7] A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
[8] A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

It is human nature to have harsh or uneasy feelings about someone, especially someone who is obviously pretentious in nature. The essence of our beings and existences are bases on weeding out the ones we feel we can and cannot trust. I sincerely believe that someone who is so pretentious and on a path to prima donna lacks personal self worth. I feel that dictators and such are uplifted by power because there is a void, something lacking and they are trying to fill that void with power. If everyone bows down to them, it lifts their self esteem. Something that can’t seem to conjure up from within themselves.
About the show, I would stand next to the police chief who cried on the show and give him a hug, and cry with him. I am a white boy from Georgia, and I learned a long time ago that color doesn’t matter. I praise and admire the black civil rights leaders we have had, and have in our country today. It saddens me that I have been in churches that did not agree with the idea of different races worshiping together.
When I was in a gospel band many years ago with my brothers, we accepted invitations to play at churches regardless of the color the preachers or the congregations skin. I would love to tell this man that I love him and his family and that I CRIED for him, when he cried.
Dr. Phil, can you tell him that. Tell him a white boy from Georgia felt his pain, and cried, almost uncontrollably, and I wish I could shake his hand and let the world see that I love this man and his family. I would love to give him a hug and tell him that we care. The world is getting better, people are coming together. And he is well respected and a hero in my eyes. All of the best of the police force, the fire fighters, the rescue workers, and anyone who has pitched in just a little are all heros.
It is time that we REALLY come together as a nation and help, and fight child abuse, and show our feelings for one another. I want all of the black community, the Hispanic, Asian, the Iraqis, and the rest of the world that I love them all the same, no matter what God they worship. I really believe that we all worship the same GOD, but he has just manifested himself to different cultures in different forms so that each culture can relate to and understand him.
I don’t believe that GOD, whoever you are, and whatever you may call him, intended on us to fight and kill. I would bet that the vast majority of the people of the world would feel the same way.
After WWII, you see the documentaries of the Japanese, and the American veterans hugging each other and crying. These men in their older age realize the war was senseless, just as wars today. Countries cannot continue to allow dictators to take over, that’s when the trouble begins. How can one man make all of the decisions for all of the people of one nation?
Why can we not form a union of hope and freedom among all nations, religions, races and financial statuses that allows us ALL TO OPEN UP and tell how we feel?
I don’t want these young men in the talaban and other terrorists organizations to lose their lives because they believe they are fighting a holy war. I believe we could all be friends and we could worship together and have an understanding if we all just had a chance.
In WWII, Germany had 14 year old kids fighting against grown men. How selfish was that? What can we do? What can I say? How can we end this madness and all become good neighbors and allies.
Imagine uniting the extreme talents of these young men who are dying everyday in Afganastan and Iraq and imagine if we put those talents to use, along with talents with others all over the world, from China, Japan, Europe, Korea, and so on, and put forth all of the money and talents and intelligence to fight AIDS, Cancer, the problems with the O zone, global warming, energy resources, CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION, etc. Imagine all of the great minds that are being wasted to learn warfare and hatred and anger, when those talents could bring peace and tranquility to our world.
What would it be like?
About the books, I am not a very good reader, though I am going to try to commit to trying to read "Self Matter" . And the Chuck Norris Book that was mentioned. I struggle with reading comprehension.
