Empty Clouds of Paper Stardom Can Become Full-On Forces Of Love / #servantleadership #thisAmericanQuilt #insideout

By



Man that lives for himself is of no use to mankind or God. Man that cares not for the plight and well-being of others forgets the commandment to love and treat others as we want to be loved and treated. Certain springs of energy in our America society push the notion in America that we must get our own and demonstrate an aggressive approach in how we go about attaining our success. God's word sais that this kind of posturing is like empty clouds passing by that may seem to bring shade for a season to others, yet drop no water. 

 Do nationally-recognized singers, entertainers acknowledge the gravity of influence that their words have on the psyche of their fan base?

 Taking to task well-springs which influence the hearts and minds of American youth

 Find your voice, find your tempo, begin to sing and pique the intellectual process of others, rather than devolve your profession into name-calling and empty-swag backed by nothing. Should irresponsible artists be allowed to rise to such great heights? We allow them these magnificent positions of power as gatekeepers to our minds and hearts. Consider how much radio play some artists get while they sing about having sex. What goes on in the mind of radio station deejays who choose to play this music? Other artists sing empty words calling for an utopian change across the American landscape, yet what do they do in action for their community? 

 It is no longer business as usual in America and those who have been allowed to rise to places of prominence best heed the call to put their shoulders to the plow for others. The greatest country on Earth is filled with all kinds of real poverty. There is a great amount of work to be done and not enough hands willing to be on the top deck. Doing more for others when we enjoy lofty positions is doing the right thing and an exercise in real justice. Serving keeps the heart young, connects us to other caring hearts and sends a strong message that to him or her who much has been give to, much is expected.

 Without playing the blame game, a call to greater civic action by regular folk, as well as those in politics and in the art and entertainment industry is necessary to help raise the collective consciousness of each generation. We don't have time to allow 'superfluous' self-serving attitudes to take the lead in crafting what kind of America we are going to live in. Time flies, we get older and opportunities to make changes come and go. Now is the time to change ourselves from the inside out, place our hearts on the line and reach out to make life better for each other. We don't have to bring about world peace in one day, but we can completely transform the lives near us when we selflessly put ourselves at each others feet.

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

By
John Adams   “I have found by Experience, that in this Age of the World that Man has an awful Lot, who “dares to  love his Country and be poor.” 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.” 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

By
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

By
“Jesus 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.” The Epistle To The Hebrews Chapter 13:8–10 Having Faith, hope in what is not seen; yet, through the Word of God, ‘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...
