It is impossible for anyone to go out into the world of their normal routine...whether they are driving to their place of employment with the radio on...
Even in their neighborhood grocery supermarket where we live such store is called Bohnings...
Without hearing at least one person say something to degrade one life lower than another.
I can even when I was pregnant for my one and only child of my womb...
Abortion was the newest hot topic and they were showing photos of fetuses in wombs saying: "Is it no longer just a blob of tissue when?"
My mother was getting dressed for her day at employment position...sales-woman in Fine China & Crystal at "Adlers Jewelers" in Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie Louisiana...as she said after seeing the pictures and hearing this question: "Oh they should have had this available a long time ago!"
"Why Mom?"
"Well then we wouldn't have so many freaks in the world!"
My entire life but particularly during my childhood they always said: "YOU SHOULDN'T EVER BEEN BORN!" or "YOU'LL NEVER BE NOTIN BUT A BURDEN TO ANYONE AS LONG AS YOU LIVE"...so I at that time said to my Momma: "You mean like me, Mom?" "Exactly Stephanie like you!" she said as she was looking at the television with a gloating smile and laughing.
She came running after me to say "I didn't men that Stephanie...but the truth is: "Out of the fullness of the heart a mouth speaks" and it is impossible for a heart to pretend to feel or a mind to pretend to think differently tan they do feel or think...so what you hear first is always the truest impression of anyone.
And no matter how they cover up or try to change what I really mean:.... They will always simply twist even deeper the truth they want to set them free...
But the truth does two things at once: Sets free the pure in heart who never lie, mislead or falsify....and at the same time TRUTH will always bind up bound tight anyone who cheats, misleads or falsify's...Truth exposes all as it divide the righteous from the wicked who think they can get away with their sin and crime...that they are more slick than the ones who get caught...
That they will not make such foolish stupid mistakes as those who are behind bars.
When we witness anything that goes against the grain of God's Holy Commandments...when we witness anyone abuse another but do nothing about...if we do not at least try to assist an angry violent mother we know with her child for the child's sake...or
If we do not know them...report what we witness to police or child protection authorities...if we are pretending we did not see anything then we are joining them in their sin.
When we hear folks on the radio talk shows degrading anyone at all...we can take the time to write a letter to the Station Editor...and even to the FCC if writing the Television or Radio Station does not bring about the correction we seek.
But sometimes instead of just requiring monitoring of what goes on the air waves...
Praying for the foul mouthed one leading others astray...then writing a prayerful letter while to that very person with the vindictive spirit...could have an affect in their hearts.
We are our own worse enemy when we turn our head and remain silent...
When we choose to open our mouths in FAITH...God's power to transform hearts is released...and Life given birth to the dead...and Ezekiel's grave yard be no longer entombed.
You really cany can-can be an Esther or a Jacob too...and you will therefore never be blue!
EstherStephanada!
