Lies

Our president must not live in the same country that I do, here is what he thinks about health care and what it represents, what the current election for Kennedy's seat in Mass represents, as an issue to the American people in general.

"Understand what's at stake here, Massachusetts," Obama said. "It's whether we're going forward or going backwards. It's whether we're going to have a future where everybody gets a shot in this society, or just the privileged few. If you were fired up in the last election, I need you more fired up in this election."

Yes oppresion has and does exist in our nation. NO DOUBT, but it is not a 'PRIVILEGED few' that enjoy prosperity and opportunity in America. That is just a lie and his life is a direct manifestation of that fact. Unless he is one of the 'PRIVILEGED FEW.' It is a lie to suggest that Democrats and our trust in them will allow everybody a shot in America. It is a lie that any party will 'save' the little guy. They only thing that will save the little guy is generous and kind hearted Americans doing their part in the world that they live to give people a chance and rise up against hatred and oppression. No man in government and no party Dem's or Rep's will save anybody.

I'm sick of lies and I'm SO SICK OF POLITICS. I just want honesty and what is good for our nation. I wish that people in Washington would work for us and when I say Washington I mean all of them. My disappointment with Obama statement is not a manifestation of my love for Republicans. I'm sick of them all. They are not different in my eyes. They lie and line there own pockets. Greed has no party loyalty it clearly effects them all.

Will the greed end?

Love

I know I know. I have not written anything forever. What can I say. I have every intention of repenting and sharing all of the good and wonderful thoughts that roll around my head most of the day. Well, there is a scary thought being ever subjected to my thoughts. LOL. It's hard enough for me to bear I will spare you that, but I will write more!

Anyways, this morning I got a "Daily Gem" which is a daily spiritual message from our current day prophets, from recent talks they have shared. This one was too good not to pass along.

"The relationship between love and appropriate action is demonstrated repeatedly in the scriptures and is highlighted by the Savior's instruction to His Apostles: 'If ye love me, keep my commandments' (John 14:15). Just as our love of and for the Lord is evidenced by walking ever in His ways (see Deuteronomy 19:9), so our love for spouse, parents, and children is reflected most powerfully in our thoughts, our words, and our deeds (see Mosiah 4:30)."Feeling the security and constancy of love from a spouse, a parent, or a child is a rich blessing. Such love nurtures and sustains faith in God. Such love is a source of strength and casts our fear (see 1 John 4:18). Such love is the desire of every human soul."We can become more diligent and concerned at home as we express love—and consistently show it."

Link to the full talk is from David A. Bednar, @ "More Diligent and Concerned at Home," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 18

The line I wanted to point up is that "Feeling the security and constancy of love from" a important someone "is a source of strength and casts our fear." What else do we need? The foundation of our emotional wellness comes from our internalization of consistent healthy love from the important someones in our lives. It helps us keep moving forward in the moments of insecurity. It shields us against poor choices that would hurt others or ourselves. It is the confirmation, the second witness beyond our self, of what we dare ourselves to believe, that we may actually be worth loving, that we actually may be good.

Well you are good. You are worthy of love. You have, will, and can do great things. Things that will lift another, things that will expand your soul, things that will make this world a place worth living in.

In addition, are you confirming to those you love daily that they are worthy of love? Give them a hug look them in the eye and tell them why you love them.

You are loved.
