 God help me, in Jesus' Name.

It's not laziness.

I leave a lot up to the reader.

Crisis?

 I'll speak in more detail of karma soon.  It's not anti faith.  It is a fact.  

Those who live in hate find themselves in a pickle.  They tell lies and half truths to demonize people they disparage.  

They get in a certain position of 'power' or prestige or control and think they rule the roost.  They actually deplete themselves.  Their influence is limited, maybe to an slight area.  But then the negativity sputters and goes out.

One of the major faults is politicizing everything.  It's part of their controlling due to lack of self.  

Don't buy it and let them spew.  They want you on the defensive.  Be yourself.  Go ahead.

I've been privileged to counsel in suicide prevention.  No politics.

Yet so many huff/puff to make issues where healing needs its place.

If you don't join the hate train, then you are vilified.

False witness is such a major sin.

Truth is the antidote.

Let go and let God.

Shush.

Rush.

Cops

 They see things many of us never do.  We only hear of them and shake our heads.

The Sociology head at college recommended that I consider counseling cops.  I had a long relationship with the departments here.  Also, I had actually counseled already.  

No details and its confidential, but cops often see the worst of people.  Some they see are barely people.

I've counseled both victims and cops.  Living through experiencing evil sometimes is a steep climb and that's for the cops as well as victims.

Patience, caring and facing the problem are major.  

I will not reiterate experiences.  There is no reason to repeat tragedy.  Yet rape murder and trafficking cannot be ignored.

What can each of us do?

The question is open.

One thing is certain.

We must DO.

Preter

 Preternatural is extraordinary, outside of nature.  It is relegated to that which is created.

Supernatural is power that is God's alone.  

We are all created and may create in that boundary.  Thus advances with inventions and so forth.

God created all from what we perceive as nothing.  Divine mystery.

The darkside tries to dazzle because our created power is fairly vast to us.  It attempts the well worn lie we can be gods.  No.  God can work within us and manifest God's power.  We get glimpses.

For instance, God inspires via the Holy Spirit and we share glimpses with others, such as writing blogs and novels -s-.

Tools are just that.  They can be used for weal or woe.  Thus, we can be attacked with things that are perverted/inverted.  

There are fantastic preternatural assaults involving spells and curses.  However, many times breaking the 10 Commandments are broken.  In particular, we are beset with bearing false witness.

Whispers, lies, half truths behind the back.  I've had that happen.  So has a certain CIC.  

Blackmail, life threats also are featured.

We have had such attempts.  The best way to combat them is truth.  Don't let them bait you.  Refrain from the defensive.

Truth is one of the greatest preternatural gifts.

Solid rock.

It's supernatural.

Independency

 It's our turn.

Living Well

 Depends on your parameters.

If it's financial, it might be one can budget even a small amount.  Or one can accommodate more correspondingly.  

Wants and needs can be determined along the way.  

It could be driving a beat up car built like a tank and good on mileage compared to a gas guzzling sportster.  

It could be a matter of quality/quantity.

But it's not just financial.

Seeking like minded people and a quest for Freedom factor in.

Forgiveness, ie, letting go hatred helps.  Keeping your neck on a swivel and never forgetting are essential.  Being kind to oneself is too.  That is, not browbeating but asking forgiveness for one's own mistakes.

This is NOT some false salve for those in any position in life.  It is to be lived by all.

Explore love and doing good w/o recompense.  Random acts as it were.

Guard Freedom and Light and teach the young all these things.

When it comes time, transition in the same way.

Living well?

Being well.

Cover...

 The cover attracts.  What's within may vary.  The cover can be a world within itself.

Very few Playboy covers inspire imagination.  Make what you want of the mag pics included.

February 1963 cover is a rarity.

A dreamlike girl (old timey ref to young women) sipping champagne.  The glass reflects an urban skyscape.  I call it a prelude to a kiss.  No ref to any play/movie.

No morality here.  Just the cover.  If you read PB judge for yourself.  I don't base my life on it.  It's just a factor within so many in a kaleidoscope.

It comes back to affluence/wealth.  Of itself it is neither good nor evil.  It's how you acquire and what you do with it.  

Remember you can't take it with you.  OTOH while here we can enjoy material things.  ONTOOH 'what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?'.

Living well is subject to definition.  It'll be covered soon.

Suffice it to say a lot of living is ignored aka the spiritual.

Then again a lotta folks don't believe the spiritual.  Pick your path.

There's more.

We'll delve past the cover.

We'll see next time.
