A SUGGESTION BECOMES REALITY

One of my most faithful readers suggested that I blog 2x a week, Monday and Thursday. So, here goes.... Happy Monday!

"Liberty is the luxury of self discipline. Historically, those people that did not discipline themselves had discipline thrust upon them from the outside."

Alister Cooke - 1908, British born U.S. journalist and commentator


- Yet we continue not only to allow it, but invite it. When 'we the people', were in chaos we surrendered our lives to the church, expecting it to care for us like a kind daddy would. And it did, until we no longer responded to the kindness. Then, daddy had to find another way...a gentle nudge in the right direction for the purpose of teaching us the better way.
You know the rest...as we continued to expect... the church had to respond.

Don't we expect the same from our government... to take care of us, when we don't care for ourselves? ... kind daddy saying 'good job' or Big Brother watching over us to keep us safe, healthy, and on the right track. This becomes the downward spiral which leads into a black hole.

Can we blame God, the preacher,our president, the police officer, our parents, etc., etc.,.... ?

We can...but we'd be wrong. Control of our life (each individual) is within us; or it will be thrust upon" us.

If you're wondering what happened to the 'acts of kindness' this blog started out to be - IT STILL IS. The kindest thing we can do is 'be the best me I can be', and lead by example.
Then we'd make the world happier.

P.S. Thanks to my faithful reader for the suggestion, and for the idea of this blog.
