Perspective....
The "woman" of today's society is easily a bigger enigma than the "woman" of yesterday. The role reversal that is continually escalating in our culture between men and women is definitely going to hit a clash within the next.....decade?lol
There are few things that are clearly known about women, from MY perspective.....and this in no relation to men....like, "women ARE this and Men ARE NOT"......just my view on the "woman" in America today......
1) Women are completely dishonest.
This would make sense and has been something universally true since the "Garden," which made is so easy for her to be deceived, I believe.......
This makes sense to me as well. I have always believed one's biggest strength is also one's biggest weakness. Women are at the very heart, NURTURER'S , and this is what makes them great mother's. It is also why when the child falls down and hurts, they call for MOM, not Dad. However, this same strength is also their weakness. Because of the huge desire to nurture...ie not hurt feelings...the battle of the truth, which at times REQUIRES hurting one's feelings, becomes a HUGE struggle. I think this is the main reason women are dishonest. Not because they don't care for the truth, they just tend to care MORE to avoid hurting one's feelings.
Side note (or footnote?lol): If you believe Men and Women are compliments of each other, which I do, this is also why when the child does something wrong, typically the mother says, "Do you want me to tell your Father?" as the way to keep the child under control....the "man" is not so concerned with not hurting the child's feelings, or "Butt" for that matter, for the SAKE of truth. However, once again, this is also their downfall because men are not the most "nurturing" of beings.....
2) Women are flakey as hell.......
I think this is almost a sub-point of the first and doesn't need much explanation. Women will say they are interested in something or will do something and continually flake out on the situation over and over again. This occurs EVEN when a disclaimer is made up front that it is OK to say "no" or not feel obligated to do it. I think it reveals even more how much they don't want to hurt feelings. The guy in me just says, "either way you are hurting feelings, it would be better to be upfront about it so you don't waste anyone's time and COMPOUND the hurt feelings." Like all lies, we try to shortcut the "truth" to save, yet ironically condemn deeper by doing so.
3) Finally, I have come to see this over and over again in the "woman" of today....(we are speaking generally, of course, so get your "panties" out of the twist....there is always exceptions to "rules.") They expect the guy to do alllllll the work and give very little in return.....Now, I must concede that this might be more of a "Casey" thing as I tend to attract women who are opposite of me, as seems to be consistent with relationships in our society (insert Paula Abdul Video here). I can't help but think it is past just me, though, as it seems to be more and more a trend with others I hear speaking around me.
I think in the past, this USED to be the main complaint of women against men.....and rightfully so. As women have become more and more "independent," and men have failed to offer what they are supposed to, they have grown so pessimistic of us, that they finally built the wall so high their heart's are impenetrable...little to no vulnerability. And, the role reversal is happening more and more. Therefore, it is now the men pursuing....and grabbing...and pursuing...and pulling....Again, I am not saying this is necessarily "more" on the men side right now, but is definitely shifting to that more and more.
Ahhh, I feel a little better getting that off my chest because I am so tired of talking to girls who are impenetrable and blame the past for it....then, if you don't pursue, you are a bastard too!

Done......
In the effort to continually make excuses for people around me in hopes that I wouldn't have to see the facts as they really are, I think I have finally come to the end....well, probably not even close, but "perceptively" closer.....I am done.
After a conversation on Mon night, I blurted out something that has made me continue to think, since. People in our society long for relationships, but care for comfort MORE. This "idol" strips even the "christian" community from falling in love with their Creator....they settle for the yeast which the "Thief" uses to "steal and destroy..." and "the yeast works it way through the whole batch." There are two immediate responses to this...1) Accept that this is the way people are and lower the bar of expectations, which most have done or ARE doing...2) Move out of the country to another place to THINK they are any "better." But what I blurted out as a 3rd option has actually got me considering my role......
3) Speak judgment into the the community of people surrounding me as did the Prophets of old. I find myself, though able to adapt, NOT having the qualities of a Biblical Prophet. There is a level of detachment they must have as they proclaim truth that I lack...feelings of people are not really considered, or should I say considered enough to tame the tongue. Times when Prophets arose, a majority of the people were godless or "idle" in Israel....I would say 95%ish. The Prophets rained judgment on the people, told them they were cowards, and that they were lost....
This 3rd option is becoming more and more appropriate to me as I see more and more people LAME AS HELL, not giving a shit about the Father, His Kingdom, nor even their own lives.
I suggested, to this Monday night "Bible Study," a book by a community that lives for the Kingdom first and foremost (or at least talks correctly about what it SHOULD be...I only say this because I do not live AMONG them, daily, to truthfully say if they ARE putting Him first) and the "intuition" in me KNEW what was going to take place. After I could not attend the Monday "idol" time of worshiping comfort in a programmed meeting time, the other guys still met to discuss the intro to the book we were "suppose" to continue onto next. At the very least, the book was free, but to my complete and utter EXPECTATION, I talk to one of them today and they said they would rather read another book instead.
My first response was sadness, along with wondering why God would continue surrounding me with people who are dying, if not dead already, in their spirituality....
See, another quality of a Prophet is to be angry with the people. I tend to NEVER be angry with people, I get mad at electronics! I ultimately KNOW it is God "who works all things to His ends." So, why get mad at people, it is God ultimately in control. Regardless of this, I am finally DONE, tired of lame people who choose death, not life. I am sick of being the one to always "see what I am NOT doing, or doing wrong that causes these circumstances."
Point Blank: People need judgment for choosing to follow the "golden calf." Judgment from God above has been held off too long to this culture. As the Prophets called fire from heaven to envelope the people, it shall come to pass again.......
No more excuses, people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NIV Ephesians 5:14 for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." 15 Be very careful, then, how you live-- not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

Hmmmm
Why I am posting, I don't know.
I have been divorced for almost a year...I am seeing more, everyday, how wretched I am. My faith, questionably (if that is a word), is nothing more than another life strategy to gain control and make life work, as best as possible, so that I get the most creature comfort and gain....I am full of shit.
On top of this, I realize how much everyone is full of shit as well. I have always believed that true life comes from "losing your life." It amazes me how in the brink of darkness, where I sit, I realize more and more how dark I am, which I kinda mentally have prepared myself for. However, the surprise is how much it ALSO exposes just how ugly other people are too! A best friend, who I thought was just that, was exposed as bullshit. Not only through lack, but through the surprising initiation of those who I never expected, brought this illumination.
Daily I refute my own beliefs, managing them with my own conscience, per se, to see if they are real...only to question if this process in of itself leads to this confusion....and back again. Fools, you who think you know my problem, as you try in your own mind to use logic to say I shouldn't use logic by "over-analysis." Doesn't matter, anyways, since people don't care enough to sacrifice themselves; I am one of those people...I wasn't one of those people, I thought. Maybe I am not, and this is just a "season." Prodigal son returns after the wound heals enough or the cry for pain meds becomes too much to resist any longer. What is true, what is not. God fucking seems to be a Deist. Setting the world in motion to not interact except through my head making excuses for Him all the time. Convincing myself to believe more instead of Him actually showing up.....on and on it goes...who knows! My view of Him is so skewed....He skews it.....I skew it.....people skew it...lame.
ONward and ...UPward?

DO NOT VOTE! It is the Plague of this Nation!
Jesus would not have ever "voted." Which by the way, is a category most people don't even consider in our "patriotic' country: No Vote.
Changing the world from the inside out was the example Jesus set. Politics NEVER (substantially) changes the world for good. All the history shows that the men who have had the BIGGEST impact on our world for good (Politics can, and does change the world for Evil) were people who had NOTHING to do with politics. (Jesus, Gandhi, MLK...etc) No US president, or any other countries leader, will be remembered in the corridors of history for changing the world for GOOD.
So, I raise MY VOTE to not waste our time with politics and search for those who are presently in our lives, to impact through REAL relationship.
How many status', news articles, and TV programs have I seen devoted on how to" love thy neighbor" recently? Ummm, "none." How many for politics? Too many to count now...I sadly reflect...
Just as God was pissed when Israel wanted a "political system," so again, man focuses on this "system" (just like installing a 'Pastor' of a church) so he can not blame himself for sin, but others....politics is an attempt for man to resolve sin without being condemned in himself...and it shall NEVER work! Politics- another crafty work of the Devil to release us from responsibility. Installing a Pastor of a church-another crafty work of the Devil to release us from responsibility.
NIV 1 Peter 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
ALLLLL of us, not one man to lead...Alll being led by Jesus, as the Body, the cornerstone!
Wow, just got a little passionate there!lol
