Two Thoughts of the Day

All through recorded history, there are accounts of entire nations/lands that were completely decimated … because of their self-pride, arrogance, greed, and desire to conquer others.
Over the past few decades, “conservative” Republicans have sought to change history .. to re-write history .. ban books, control the media, dictate what books are to be read, dictate what religion should be followed. Adolf did this very thing.

The Sadducees and Pharisees comprised the ruling class of Jews in Israel at the time of Jesus. They dictated how to worship.
Jesus disrupted their “status quo” of ruling and financially profiting from the people. They are the ones who wanted Jesus killed.

Just The Way You Are – But Wait, There’s More!

Clearly, I was too brief … I have heard this song several times in the past few days. PLUS, another song that … let’s just say “punctuated the point” that I need to expand on my previous post.

Yes. This song is Bruno singing about the beautiful woman in his life.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of the words in this song.

At the time my wife and I got married, there were numerous other couples who had gotten or were getting married. I seriously have no idea just how many marriages I was aware of over the course of 5 years.

I state that, to state this … of those many marriages … MOST … yes most of those marriages have ended. Divorce. I will not spend time picking apart those marriages. It is NOT my place, nor am I even close to being an “expert” in marriage relationships. Lord knows, I had my flaws.

The purpose of this continued post is … the words of the song.

(I have the video below. Watch it and LISTEN)

Whomever you are with. BE INTENTIONAL! BE REAL!

You need to OPENLY tell them how wonderful they are. You need to intentionally tell them how important they are. You need to randomly/consistently find and emphasize the positives!

LOVE is not “sex when you want it”. LOVE … TRUE LOVE ‘REQUIRES’ effort. Love is omnidirectional in effort as well as in benefits.

Accentuate the Positives!

Love is Patient, Love is Kind. Love does not envy, Love does not boast, Love is not Proud. Love does not dishonor others, Love is not self-seeking, Love is not easily angered, Love keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil; Love rejoices with truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love Never Fails.
