Everything Looks Big to the Aged!

    You know I been kinda following the Politics of Debt Ceiling. I can’t really tell you who is doing what, just that there is plenty of opposition happening and a deadline coming up. After August 2nd, perhaps no checks for the Social Security Recipients. Saw that while surfing. Two elder people trying to figure out what they are going to do. No they weren’t doing a jig!
   
    First, I need to point out something to someone somewhere. If you don’t understand POWER, JUST GO AHEAD AND MESS WITH SOCIAL SECURITY HERE IN THE USA.
    I FOR ONE KNOW THE POWER THAT THE ELDERLY HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO VOTE TIME. IN FACT THAT IS WHY THIS ISSUE LOOKS BIG. Loneliness and agedness are BIG ITEMS THE ELDERLY HAVE TO FACE.(how do I know this, because I am one of them-over 50 crowd) AND to take something away from them, is A BIG DEAL---BIG BROTHER STEALING FROM THE RETIREE’S--- THEREFORE THIS IS LOOMING LIKE THE GIANT DAVID KILLED WITH HIS 5 LITTLE STONES.

    Him being a lad no one expected him to kill the giant. Saul offered him armor he said no. he was going to fight the giant, with what he was most familiar with, stones. Plus HE KNEW HE WAS GONNA WIN, or he’d never dare do the feat. That kind of knowledge only comes from God!

    Now that is what I am going to do. My writing! Constitutes 5 little stones. I KNOW I AM GONNA WIN, or I’d never take on the Powerful who simply think they are powerful.

    I want you to understand POWER! This Country has them all over the place working and non working. Some are your neighbors. Some are your acquaintances. Some are your friends.

    THEY MAY BE LONELY AND THEY MAY BE AGED, BUT THEY GOT MOUTHS AND THEY WILL USE THEIR MOUTHS TO SEE TO IT THAT THE SACRED COW IS NOT TOUCHED.

    After all this is important to them. Financial security is one of the attributes of Social Security. That is why they need to keep the few benefits that they possess. Maybe they can’t do nothing about loneliness, and maybe they can’t do nothing about agedness, but they can use the POWER THEY POSSESS IN UNITY TO LET OTHERS HEAR FROM THEM.
   

    LONELY PEOPLE GOT POWER. Listen to what I just said.
    ELDERLY PEOPLE GOT POWER. Listen to what I just said.
    MOUTHY PEOPLE GOT POWER. Listen to what I just said.

    If I were you, I would be afraid to stand up like Goliath!

Political! Veer to the Right!

    I know this is going to be a veering off to the right. Especially since I have been writing these Political Treatises that I can only hope someone, somewhere gets to read. And now I also want to include the USA, no, not to give us democratic processes, we already have that, but I like my Country and I don’t want it to feel left out!

    I realize that is quite egotistical since I am a nobody with an unrecognizable name in the Journalistic World. But I still have an opinion and that is worth a try at influencing an idea or two within the confines of your minds, so why not put my best finger forward and seize the golden ring.

    Now I realize, that some are going to put this Treatise in the category of Religion. But it is not a Religious Theory concocted by a Religious Flame Thrower. This is definitely Political. And it is meant to influence someone,  to stand up and be counted Politically, in arenas that remain largely untouched by most Politicians, the arena of Personal Piety, believing and living what is true. The Right being Truth that is! I realize most Politicians stay in the Middle or to the Left of, "living it like it is."  

    Since I am a Political Person on my left, I veer Right also towards the truth. This being one and the same, it appears to me. Since that is a truth, then no one anywhere dare approach me with the adage that God can not be spoken of in a Political viewpoint. I ain’t in the public eye, therefore I can and will speak of God whenever it behooves me to make a point in said following story.

    Now to tell the story. But first a little lesson in Civility. I have had a person(who was simply being obnoxious) tell me once that they did not have time to listen to ‘one of my stories.’ Well, I told it anyway. I am a fast talker. Besides, his opinion warranted my opinion. It happens that way sometimes when one meets someone in person! There are all types of factors involved here. Some people just don’t like what you look like(sad but true) or what you say(sad but true). But I just like people so I did not take offense at him...we just parted agreeably to disagree. After all I am a Civil Person!

    But I am here to say, this Treatise is not a meeting of minds. This is a Treatise of a Political Nature(veering either Right or Left due to the fact that( I AM EVEN WRITING IT)and if you don’t have time to listen, or if you don’t like a story with God as the main character, then by all means, STOP READING NOW! YOU’VE BEEN WARNED, BUT DON’T CRY, "I’VE STEPPED ON YOUR TOES." Cause their ain’t no Judge in the USA gonna believe you. I hope! I have the Law on my side. I hope!

    Now back to the Story! Yes, I get side tracked by Tangents. It’s my Nature. I’m a woman! We think differently than men do.

    Once upon a time, I was sitting at my favorite seat nigh the computer when I spotted the story of dangerous storms going to be breaking out around Dallas, That is a Red Flag to my Mind, after all, I have a kid near there! On my Computer while I was surfing, I continued to think about this turn of events and came to the conclusion that I should bother Ruben at work! After all this was of a life and death emergency! I commenced to pick up the phone and call Ruben. Now I will fill you in on a little background. My Baby Son Ruben and his Wife Michelle, live in Terrell. I truly love them to the nth degree, eternity and beyond. So I pick up the phone and get Ruben at Work. We chit chatted a bit like I had no ulterior motive, and I asked him if it would be Ok if I sent a ‘Blessing their Way.’ Beings, that he has had them all his life growing up, he has never refused me EVER, nor has any of my other kids or grand kids or friends.(but I usually Bless them when they are going away).....he tolerates a concerned ole woman, so he said, "SURE"!. SO I BLESS HIM!. Listen man, I've even Texted a Blessing, when I forgot to give it in person, it works just as well. But some things require a phone call, like talk to the person in person.

The following is the Blessing:
    May God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, bless you and protect you all(this is Southern talk and includes Michelle), this whole time through. In Jesus Name I pray! Amen.
    It don’t take long to dispense a simple Blessing and then I chit chatted awhile and said my goodbyes.
    But let me say, I am 1000 miles away from Dallas and the only thing I got left to do when I see Storms breaking out all over and that is PRAY. So pray I did. Now I felt better.
    That evening, they were both home from work,  I was watching TV the Weather Station to be exact, and they showed a storm system, heading toward Frisco and up(so I prayed for them)I know some folks up there that are family) and then WALLA, it showed the storm heading out toward Terrell, WHICH I DID NOT EXPECT IT TO DO, about 30 miles to the East. This I REALLY did not expect. I thought they'd just all dissipate. And the weather men put them all under Tornado Watches & Warnings Now there ain’t nothing worse than seeing one of them storms bearing down, on loved ones. They live in a home with no basement or storm cellar, and quite frankly, no place to run. I was panicked, ready for one of those anxiety pills the Dr Psychiatrist, gave me whenever I got to fly again, cause the pilot, a couple of months before in Dallas, had this weird laugh, when two planes were supposed to occupy the same space at takeoff. Don’t want that happening again, not if I’m in my right mind. GIVE ME A PILL! No, I haven’t taken it, I haven’t flown again, but I got um just in case I do.....and yes, I will take them! No, my husband was Ok, he was flying with me, NO BOTHER TO HIM. That’s weird! Normal people worry me sometimes! I told him that and he said, “after living with you Nina, nothing seems weird anymore to me.”(I told you, the Tangents come running while writing!)

    Well, back to Terrell and my kids.

    The storm is still bearing down on Terrell. And alls I can do is watch tv.

      BAM!, THEN I REMEMBERED! THE BLESSING!

     They would be ok. Now I knew it. So I watched the TV. And it showed Terrell under warning. And the storm kept bearing down on the kids. A very long time it seemed to take, but only the speed of a Tornado, is what it really was! But suddenly, the Tornado that was heading toward Terrell, hit in Kaufman instead. They said, it jumped over Terrell. The kids were safe and protected.

    I talked to Ruben later and he said, “well, if you were concerned why didn’t you call us while it was happening.”........and that was a decent question.....I wasn’t sure why I failed to do that. But he said it laughingly, knowing me all too well! Only thing is, if I had of, I am sure I woulda been slightly unnerved(OK I’ll tell the, TRUTH, A WHOLE LOT UN-NERVED. And could have upset them which is what I did not want to do! KEEP QUIET! LET IT HAPPEN, is my Philosophy! But I did have the presence of mind to tell him that I was concerned enough to call and Bless him BEFORE IT HAPPENED, that afternoon. “AND I BLESSED YOU EARLIER IN THE DAY, DON’T YOU REMEMBER!” He indeed remembered.

    Later, I told my husband, after I had given it some thought, what he said, “well, it’s kinda like the butterfly that flaps his wings in the forest, is there a repercussion somewhere else down the line? I THINK SO.”
    IF I HAD CALLED HIM, DURING THE TORNADO WARNING, I COULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING THAT MIGHT CONTRADICT THE BLESSING AND THAT I DID NOT WANT TO DO.....I WANTED TO REACT, ‘IN FAITH.’

    I simply wanted to LEAVE THE BLESSING UP TO GOD! WHAT BETTER HANDS WAS RUBEN AND MICHELLE IN, THEN IN GOD’S HANDS AND THAT IS THE SCOPE I WAS LOOKING THROUGH HERE IN MANY FARMS 1000 miles away. THE SCOPE OF FAITH!

    So I write this with the understanding that a Blessing is indeed important business! Even when it’s given casually. Even a blessing from a very ordinary person.
    And yes, our family is just ordinary! Political for sure! And so am I! But we have an EXTRAORDINARY GOD! One does not have to be perfect to get prayers answered for themselves or for non-perfect people. One has to be found praying! In the only name God recognizes! JESUS!

    Now, I know you are going to say, what about Kaufman? Well, that is in God’s Hands too. I didn’t have anything to do with where the Tornado hit that night, I did have something to do with it not hitting Terrell.
    So people: I BLESS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, and LOVE TO THE NTH DEGREE,  ETERNITY AND BEYOND!

The following is the Blessing:
    May God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, bless you and protect you all, this whole time through. In Jesus Name I pray! Amen.

    Bless your kids(Rebecca & Russ & GrandKids Abby &, Izzy)(Robert & Jennifer)(Rathan & Barbara & Grandkids Audrey, Joshua, Jacob & Daniel)(Ruben & Michelle)!
    Bless others! Extended Families, Friends, Acquaintances, Enemies!
    Bless your Town(Many Farms, Lawrence, Tulsa, Sand Springs, Dallas, Frisco, Mead, Durant, Terrell, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Austin)
     Bless your State(Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas)
     Could even Bless the USA.

REMEMBER A BLESSING IS NOT A CURSE!
REMEMBER A BLESSING IS REALLY AN IMPORTANT PRAYER!
REMEMBER A BLESSING BRINGS MUCH HAPPINESS, WITH NO SADNESS.
REMEMBER A BLESSING IS NOT TO BE SOLD FOR A BOWL OF PORRIDGE!                              
Remember a Blessing never has to be explained just Remembered!
 
He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus. - Galatians 3:14

     See I told you, when you influence that many people.  You veer to the Right and,
YOU DEFINITELY ARE POLITICAL.
Life goes on, here in the USA!
