Going #Airborne for my new friend, Price / #socialresponsibility #aNewDay #MovingFast #BigFish #renegades

..and what happened that made you change your mind?
 and how far did you go to change your heart? and what moved you to let go? 
and how is it that you go to sleep? 
how do you rise? 
and what is it at mid-day that makes you tick? 
and how do we tell each other how we feel when we walk by each other?

and what makes you turn away? and what makes you not care? and what makes you check out? and what makes us check in?

It was slow at first, but I held my stance and gravitation took hold. 



Soft and hard
polished edges
a clear purpose
a settled heart and a bed that is made make it easy to make new friendships when the time and space is there.

 All my new friends were either sons and fathers.

Soon enough I will go up to bat for my new friends.

Let the chips fall where they may and may God have our back as we move cautiously forward in the eye of a peculiar hurricane. 

Calm it is in the center of the storm, round me eyes and ears and wariness. 

Trust in me and have my back. All the facade goes off. This will take guts and lots of grit. 


Doing the right thing is more important than appearances.

The Gaslighting of our Constitutional Understanding & The Original Purpose of the U.S. Government

John Adams   ā€œI have found by Experience, that in this Age of the World that Man has an awful Lot, who ā€œdares to  love his Country and be poor.ā€ Liberty and virtue! When! oh When will your Enemies cease to exist or to persecute! Our Country will be envied, our Liberty will be envied, our Virtues will be envied. Deep and subtle systems of Corruption hard to prove, impossible to detect, will be practised to sap and undermine Us and the few who penetrate them will be called suspicious, envious, restless turbulent ambitious—will be hated unpopular and unhappy. But a succession of these Men must be preserved, for these are the salt of the Earth. Without these the World would be worse than it is.ā€ Letter To Abigail Adams, from John Adams, Paris, April 16, 1783 Few generations, said George Washington and John Adams, are fortunate to produce brilliant minds and hearts that are selfless. How shall we fare in our present? What is the path of national political unanimity that ...

Being a Maverick Thinker with Your #ExecutiveFunction Skills

Once we understand what our executive function skills are, we move to streamlining how well we use them, how they show up/ don't show up in our life. As we move through our understanding of how to better manage our ideas, feelings and actions, can their be soft and hard forces which are orchestrated with the focus of instilling in us..how to think...how to act... how to respond? Or is 'man' so free in mind, so independent, and so ahead of these forces that he is not affected, not thwarted in his goals, and not redirected easily? If we are to polish and tone these executive function skills so that we can harness the ability of our mind (a tool) to facilitate successful outcomes for ourselves, should we not start by bringing a critical eye to why we think the way we think? Is this not metacognition, or how we use our thought process to approach the world?  Using systems theory, any system that is accepted into a larger system invariably begins to affect tha...

Graciousness Through Christ Jesus Who Is Written In Our Hearts

ā€œJesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.ā€ The Epistle To The Hebrews Chapter 13:8–10 Having Faith, hope in what is not seen; yet, through the Word of God, ā€˜faith’ having greater meaning, hope through the Word and the gracious power of the Spirit of the Word, Truth & Righteousness, brings one; that is to say, translates one, from the kingdom of spiritual darkness: a life, replete with an attitude, perspective, reasoning, and quality of life that is intrinsically a life of scarcity, vanity, gain & advantage, strife, and selfishness, into THE kingdom of God; the kingdom of Light; an abounding reality overflowing with God, and the fruit of his Spirit: joy, peace, faith, gentleness, temperan...
