Desperate People

You Know

Desperate people,
lonely people,
people
so alone
amidst a crowd.

Do you see me?
Do you care?
You think
as you slowly
gaze around.

What can you do?
To not be so needy?
To not drive people away?
You need to become
the person that is not.

Not needy.
Not desperate.
Not irritating
to the core.
Because...

You will become
someone people
want to have around.
And spend time with.
Just because...

Deep inside, you know who you are.  Introverts tend to not need people around all the time.  But extroverts tend to need people most of the time.  Remember the truth about cats and dogs?  Some people are more like cats and other people are more like dogs.  I have to admit that I am more of a cat person when it comes to temperament and so for the most part are the friends I tend to hang out with. 

Ecclesiastes

3:11

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. (NIV)

Timing is everything!  Isn't it the truth...  Opportunity knocks but if you are not ready for it then...  you know...  Soon it will be 2017.  It sounds like a good year, doesn't it?  Never be without faith, hope, and love...  Be of good cheer, courage, and character... 

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Christmas Bells

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play, 
    And wild and sweet 
    The words repeat 
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

A Christmas Carol

So are you miserly or generous?  Remember Ebeneezer Scrooge?  Who has not heard of him?  Someone who put money above people.  What happens to someone who values money too much?  Well why don't you read the book and find out.  Scrooge is visited by three spirits that hope to show him that it's not too late.  In fact it's never too late.  I hope you have the right Christmas Spirit instilled in you.  :)

Safe People

Who is a safe person?  A safe person is someone who can bring you up rather than pull you down.  A safe person will help you become a better person.  If you find yourself always gravitating towards the same people and making the same mistakes then maybe you need to choose the people who surround you more carefully.  No one wants to get hurt.  Are you a safe person?  And if you are not what are you doing to make yourself one?

Darwin & Lady Hope:  The Untold Story

So what does it mean when a theory is being taught in the classroom and the founder of the said theory doesn't even believe in his own theory?  Then it's obviously not that great of a theory is it?  When you go to the zoo do you look at the monkey and say, "Hey!  You are my ancestor and I embrace you because of it."  You don't consider it farfetched to believe that you came from a monkey?  Really?  Then go eat some bananas!  In fact go bananas!!!  Hey you are what you eat!  You are not a monkey, you are in fact a banana!  And now someone's going to eat you!  Good luck with that!

Ronald Reagan

“Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas.”

One does wonder why things happen the way they happen.  Do you know that I heard that Charles Darwin became a Christian on his deathbed.  So ironically the founder of the evolution theory didn't believe in his own theory when push came to shove.  Do you really want to spend eternity in hell?

They Thought for Themselves

So are you the kind of person that thinks for yourself or are you the kind of person that wants to be brainwashed?  Or told what to think?  In order to know what is being said it makes sense to read it yourself so that you know the truth.

Woe is Me!

Woe is me!
I say...
Woe is you!
Who knew?
Life is nothing
without comedy.
A time to laugh,
a time to play,
a time to tickle
your funny bone.
Unless you
are one of the
few people
in this world
that never laughs.
How sad.
To never laugh.
A life without
laughter.
So ha ha ha
and he he he....
Laugh today!

@JoSH Popcorn Poetry

Sometimes you do need to laugh.  Life has its ups and downs but if your sense of humor is intact you will handle it better.  Each day is a new day and you never know what is going to happen next.

Brrr...

Ice blue frozen chill...
The wind blowing arctic cold
across the wintry air.

@JoSH Popcorn Poetry

Well it is definitely December is my part of the world.  Brrr...  Snow is blowing and winds are cold.  Bundle up!  How many days till Christmas?  I think I'm starting to find my Christmas spirit.  :)

Searching for Adam

Creation versus evolution.  Do you realize that the evolution theory is just that?  A theory which means that it hasn't been proven yet.  Searching for Adam is a book that gives you scientific evidence about how life really began.  I challenge you to read this book.

Highest Duty

A pilot lands a passenger plane in the Hudson River and becomes a hero overnight.  Sometimes in life you do the right thing only to have it impact your life negatively due to other issues like insurance companies not wanting to pay out.  Hmmm...  155 lives versus money...
