You’re allowed to disagree with me.  You’re allowed to be angry with me.  I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything.  I’m just playing show and tell about my day and how things land on me and how I navigate life.  You don’t have to believe what I believe.  But if you have an issue with me and want to work it out, tell me exactly what it is and let’s resolve it once and for all.  A friend is angry with me for various and sundry and, besides arguing with me on Facebook, we are emailing. I can’t meet everyone’s expectations and I don’t talk with anyone who’s angry.  He asked why I did something.  I told him.  He wrote back several accusations and I asked him what specifically he was referring to.   He would not tell me.  I don’t have time for stuff like that.  Last month I wrote If someone asks for an exit interview or closure talk, show up for it and let them take the lead.   At the end, ask if they’ve addressed all concerns and are they complete.  Because I thought I did that once and apparently I did not.   I can be very oblivious and self centered.  I don’t do it on purpose.   I never mean to hurt the ones I love.  However, I recognize it’s their issue and not mine if they let me leave without being complete.

What’s it really about?
Why you don’t see warnings on my Facebook page

Try to not pay attention to the screaming baby in the corner, just try

I wrote yesterday that a friend called me out for removing a hurricane warning he’d posted on my Facebook wall.  His point was he was merely doing a massive shout out for prayers to divert the storm.  My point was the storm posed no threat, so why even mention it?  Putting something on my wall is like painting the words on the side of my house.  Paint whatever you want on the side of your own house, but when people drive by my house, I want them only to see the messages I want them to see.   Continue reading →

I’m running credit cards this morning. Merchants: do you ever run a client’s card by mistake simply because you’re so used to running it every month for years? Yeah, me either because I pay attention to what I do and stay conscious if I’ve got someone’s card number.

Earlier this week, Domino called and asked if I could ask a mutual friend to not delete the post he made on her Facebook wall.  His post said, “Hi Weather warriors, it’s that time again. There’s a huge storm about 700 miles off of Miami. We need all to pray/visualize/ meditate and send energy to this storm.  Firstly, to keep it on a trajectory heading straight to the Atlantic in a northeast direction.  Secondly, we can send loving/compassionate energy to it so it can break up and become a smaller storm.  We need to get to work.”   He made the same post on my wall.  I left it for 24 hours then deleted it.  I didn’t know there was a storm until I saw his post.  When I went to delete it, I didn’t get the sense there was anything to worry about.  I checked the National Hurricane Center site satellite radar and saw the projection and forecast, noted the moon cycle and still got the sense it was nothing to worry about.  I told him so and told him I understood our mutual friend not wanting him to post on her wall.  I was surprised when Domino lashed out at me, sounding really angry.

Love wants to reach out and manhandle us, Break all our teacup talk of God. If you had the courage and Could give the Beloved His choice, some nights, He would just drag you around the room By your hair, Ripping from your grip all those toys in the world That bring you no joy. Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly And wants to rip to shreds All your erroneous notions of truth That make you fight within yourself, dear one, And with others, Causing the world to weep On too many fine days. God wants to manhandle us, Lock us inside of a tiny room with Himself And practice His dropkick. The Beloved sometimes wants To do us a great favor: Hold us upside down And shake all the nonsense out. But when we hear He is in such a “playful drunken mood” Most everyone I know Quickly packs their bags and hightails it Out of town.

If people say something bad about you, don’t be affected… just remember that dogs never bark if they know the person

John 10:16, Jesus said “Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I bring and they also hear my voice. There shall be one fold and one shepherd.”   So I guess He doesn’t care if we all think we’re different folds, right? We can have our little thoughts and what’s natural will go on being, like gravity, not caring if we believe in it or not.
