I've been in many places,some good,some bad
in various time and rhyme zones seeking what's
to be had- travelling by land air,and sea-meeting
with some tribulation,as well as glee- arriving at
this very place in time-where progress seems to
have become blind-we're caught in a period of
stagnation -that in time will destroy our Nation
As a believer,I seek God's word to learn how to
respond-along with the people I trust,and know
I can rely upon-then I set a course determined
to do my best-I pray for discernment,knowing
I can trust God to take care of the rest - we
can't expect change to take place if we take no
action- get involved, if you want satisfaction
that should serve as peaceful,intelligent notice to the apathetic that have led us to this place and time in our history -- to get up and become involved in determining the fate of their nation before the politicians wrest it from us -- from every great city and rural farm house,let freedom and the call for democracy peal the bell of liberty loudly, resolutely -- Eileen, messages like yours from Americans everywhere are beginning to become louder and louder -- God bless the United States of America -- peace and love my dear friend -- Jon Michael
Knowing where and how to put what we can usefully bring to the plough, to the greater good and to our mutual edification and satisfaction, is perhaps the Holy Grail of our sense of purpose on this earth, Eileen. It's such a shame that, like with the tower in Babel, all our babble and differing wants and perspectives tend to overshadow and dissipate so many of our well-meaning efforts at collaboration. When it works, though, it is pretty much heaven on earth: in a human sense! :)) xx

Ditto sweet lady..well done indeed...stay safe and well..Hugss
Positively spiritually correct! Insights remain insights unless we put them into action for "faith without works is dead." Excellent write in
appropriate brevity, the impact of your message is dynamite.
I agree...if we all pull (try) together (get involved)things have to get better and also yes,trust in God for IF
we do right he will provide for us.You make really good points in this wise write.

Eileen you are so right, it takes each and everyone to do their part, working together to make a difference. Thank you for sharing a great write that everyone needs to read.
Eileen,
We can't expect change...if we take no action - absolutely right; individual effort, however small or seemingly insignificant, does matter. Well said!
John
we are in amazing times...a time to question everything, who, what, where, when, why...nothing should be taken at face value, however the trick is to limit our external influences and ask the questions to the internal and find the answers there :)
A nation & world we are of stags, fighting amongst ourselves with no end in sight...if we can rest our troubles with Him, maybe then no more will we be stagnant...ed
Dear Ileen,
I read your lovely poem, as I believe it should be understood
In this time and age many people are neither nice nor good
I wonder how we can trust good people and those of Hollywood
I my life I know how to survive, to be friends with all,as I should.
God help us to be a good citizens and to get fairly out of the woods.
Love Emile
" can't expect change to take place if we take no action-get involved, if you want satisfaction", now there is a mouthful, and I would almost say, out of the mouth of babes, is your innocent and profound statement, I applaud you! Hugs! Jasmin Horst
Cure against stagnation? come all together and sing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"...my eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord...
That will wipe out any stagnation anywhere!
A touching, loving and spirtual insight of the dying process, filled with peace, smiles and starting on their journey, taking me with them as far as I could go, returning back with something I didn't have before. Will be out early in 2010..on Kindle
In the second book of the BetterWorld trilogy, Kiyoko and her friends continue to fight MediaCorp's schemes to control the world. But a team of ruthless mercenaries is after them, and is closing in fast.
The most difficult thing that two humans can attempt is to communicate. No, not talk, communicate! Most relational problems are either caused by or aggravated by a failure to communicate properly. Learn how to do just that, communicate. See how much
