I’m glad for the brightness of our meetings because there is plenty of uncertainty, dissolution, and discontent to go around. Every day I wrestle with the knowledge over two million votes do not matter in this election, every day. Over 2 million and we are forced to accept a horrible man as the leader of the country at this time we unfortunately call home. No I’m not proud he is our president and I’m certainly not proud of his wife. The white house is a joke now. There is no honor, I feel shame. I have never felt like this in my life.

Now let’s talk the root problem with other religions. It’s this supernatural bull crap. I mean then they get mad and crap when things don’t change or they lose someone. Say they have a family member who has cancer or a child killed in an accident. They want to blame God! They are the idiots who think they are going to be rescued. The bottom line is we have to be brave enough to take on life’s complications and pray for the strength like Rhena said but there ain’t no Moses coming to save our black asses okay!

On a positive note, congratulation to the two newly married couples and Rod…you’re going to be a new father. WOW!!! That is exciting.

Although I am comforted about life after death, like Loreen, I have never been more uncomfortable in my life. I know shame in what has happened here, what this will do to this country. It isn’t something that will blow over or go away because our vote did not matter WOW!! Like Loreen said, over 2 million votes didn’t matter that is staggering.

Ladies that goes for all of us. We need to spend the proper amount of time on our knees and the proper amount of time taking steps to improve our situation. I know this is what is expected of us all.

Hey…I saw something on A&E about the church of scientogy. I asked why do people keep joining these factious religious groups, giving them all their money instead of trying to find the truth? I don’t understand it. I mean some of the stuff going on in that church is crazy. It’s nothing but a cult. It’s crazy. The bottom line Yahusha gave us the gift of acceptance. He opened the door for us to come in. He invited us. But damn we have to want it bad enough. All this begging all the time. What’s even worse is this idea that we are the only intelligent species in the universe. The truth is most religions are simple for simple minded people. Why would might Adonai only make one species in a infinite universe? Especially one as dysfunctional as Humans. Come on. It’s to make believe and it doesn’t make common sense. Oh and I have faith. I have faith in the knowledge that I don’t fight any battle alone so I fight my battles bravely because I know that is what is required and what is necessary.

As for this mess with trump…I’m expecting things to get as worse for this country as they did under Reagan. He’s appointing his millionaire crew and they are going to really sock it to the average American. The poor will get it the worse. The whole thing is frightening beyond description.

On a lighter note, this meeting was so fun (smile) Everything about it was fantastic.

Enjoyed the meeting but at this time in my life I find it hard to feel comfortable living in this country. I can’t pretend it is a democratic country anymore because it clearly is not. I’m terrified because that is unsafe for all people. Suddenly I can see Americans fleeing to a country for safety. I wonder how that will make all those folks who so desperately want that wall feel when they want to get into Mexico and they say NO!!!

I’m reminded of all the parables Yahushua spoke when he walked among us. There was one about three sons. Two of the brothers took what was given to them and used it to make their situation better. The other sat on his saving it and in the end he lost it all. He was told to depart from his father because he was wicked, evil. It’s plain and simple, none of us can sit and wait. We were given a gift and it’s our responsibility to take action and apply it accordingly. This is why we have to fight for freedom, for justice. It is not going to be given so protest but there will come a time when we have to accept the fact it's time to fight. Thus we pay for strength and go forth.

I think humans need to believe in fairy tales. They are comforted believing in the Cinderella stories. The Snow White type fairy tales that always have a happy ending. It’s this need to believe in unrealistic truths. It’s all the same. White people in this country need to believe it was a barren, unclaimed land that Christopher Columbus stumbled upon by chance. It is a lie but they have to believe this lie to function. It’s like the Santa Claus thing. It goes on and on every year to the point the news will talking about Santa’s sled and how it’s making it’s rounds around the world. They know it’s not true but they insist on upholding and building on the lie that some white man lives to bring all children gifts once a year, well everyone in fact. It’s a ritualistic practice they perform, a façade that is practiced year after year. I mean people will cuss you out if you don’t want to perpetuate the fraud. The need the lie to survive…religion gives them what many of them are addicted to, lies and fabrications.

Honestly I just don’t see how anything other than disaster waits us under a trump residency. He did lower the president standard in this country I tell you that and his wife is not first lady material. I’m not feeling like I felt when Obama was our president. I think it’s tragic this has happened but it shows what most people in this country honor and respect and that is money. It doesn’t matter how dishonorable a person is if they have money they can be easily forgiven for short-comings and automatically respected , even if they lie with every breath you take, even if steal from those who have less, even if they devalue others, as long as they have money they get a free pass and that is not only disgusting it is frightening.

On a happy, upbeat note....Congratulations newlyweds!

Congratulations Kendra and Rod on the new baby

. And you Mike…I'm with glad you said you are fine because I was worried as well.

Amen to that all of you.

So on the crazy religious thing, Listen, my mother calls for Thanksgiving and the first thing she does is go off into this baptizing line of questioning for my son. Mom stresses me out. I told her I don’t believe in the god she worships and the gasps start and then the tears. I just remained quiet. I’m not going to let mom keep manipulating me. Of course she’s going to pray for me. That’s fine but it’s a useless pray. So why did my grandfather call me back prepared to preach me a sermon. I just got dad on the three-way. We have to fight fire with fire.

He voted for trump because he said the Lord didn’t mean for women to be in a position of authority over men. I couldn’t believe my ears. I could see dads face when he said it. See I reached out for help from the one the lord made available for me to reach out too. I agree we have to step up and put some work in. It’s not always easy but like Aunt Mason say’s, Yahushua said his yoke was easy but not without effort. I mean as time goes on the things that come out of Aunt Mason’s mouth become real profound.
