Would Be Best

would be best
if our actions and tongues
spoke the same language

would be best
if our actions our words
truly expressed

would be best
if our words honestly
professed

would be blessed
our personal lives
our politics
if all the lies
were aired
and addressed

Lightened by truth
before one's soul is weighed
and processed

Gershon Wolf Date: 9/11/2024 8:53:00 PM Absolutely right. Why do people spin everything today? ... "Distance yourself from a lie." (Exodus 23:7). Couldn't be clearer! Thanks, Joe Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 9/12/2024 3:55:00 AM Because brains have been put in a spin -- I need to take a break from reality. Thank you, Gershon. Hand in there my friend. All we can do sometimes.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 9/11/2024 2:01:00 AM A difficult task which can only be achieved if we lay down our arms and pray. Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 9/11/2024 7:51:00 AM Absolutely! But, we cannot lay down our arms, with the enemy at the door. And a prayer, when still lesser ego present, will not be a pure prayer. I cannot watch women and children being harmed, and just sit there and pray. Someday I will before God, and God will look at me shamefully I would fear...and say, I gave you strong hands and a loving heart...how could you see this evil and not lift a hand to help? If I wanted you to come to me to fight all your battles, why did I give you Free Will...why did I make you head of the family...if not to cherish and protect? Again, just my opinion. A prayer without participation, lacks the conviction of a selfless heart and soul, faith and trust all in God -- ???

Valsa George Date: 9/9/2024 9:24:00 PM Indeed there should be parity between our words and actions. Also our words and actions should be honest. There should also be an effort from our side to throw light on lies and bring out the truth. A beautiful credo of life. Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 9/10/2024 5:50:00 AM Thank you, Valsa; your wise counsel and support is greatly appreciated. I have never been a strict Bible interpreter, but it does seem, representative of US politics, shaping up to be overtly Good vs Evil. There is no other explanation for Democrat unhinged radical policies. Sex Change operations, puberty blockers for children, this is something one would expect from Nazi Germany, and not from a sane, God respecting rational nation. The devil and his demons must be Hi-fiving one another.
