Practical
What is considered to be practical?
Being practical in a world of outlandish behavior and radical beliefs!
Look, we are wired to know when something is just not right;
Yet we are being programmed to embrace all that is wrong!
It started slowly, but has gained speed!
This warped culture will explode and implode and
Destroy the true core of life, liberty and justice.
I am sick of hearing or being told we are not tolerant!
But, Maybe they are not tolerant of us!??
Look, I mind my own business...
I take care of what is required of me each day,
And each passing season, things seem more disturbing!
We are told to not love this world!
But Christians are expected to love people;
Even those we don't agree with.
So we must love people where they are;
And to pray that God will change their hearts! (LIFE)
The hippie movement was love the one your with;
Today is murder and hate everyone that doesn't think like you think!
This is all nonsense, because this behavior will not change anyone!
Stop telling me how I am suppose to think and believe!
My Mother use to say mind your own plate!
Which means take care of what you have!
Don't allow someone to take your peace (PIECE))
Equal Rights are only equal if you think so...
Everything offends Everyone...
You can try to convince everyone that you are right;
But one day you just may be sorry you led others astray!!
So...
Being practical means being loving, level headed and responsible!
Not bullheaded, unkind, and cruel...
Just Saying
Blessings, Roxy
THere is nothing to add to this except to say that I agree with every. single. word. Especially the part about praying for others. The Lord is the only thing that can really change someone.

Amen! I'm right there with you.
ReplyDeleteMiss you, my friend.
I always tell these behavior police that they might like blue and I like red but we can still be friends.they are intolerant of that. They want to be enemies unless you are exactly the same.
ReplyDeleteI do agree. Perhaps this blog post will help. I read it today.

I agree with your writing Roxy, we have similar things going on in my country, its a western world situation (possibly even wider?). I also liked the other comments and heartily agree that the Lord is the only one who can change a heart to such an extent that we can love all people with the love of Christ. Blessings to you. Without the Lord, this world would be a very worrying place.
ReplyDeleteAmen, and amen! xxoo
ReplyDeleteI am commenting a wee bit late here Roxy, but couldn't agree more with what you've written. It is difficult to have one's whole belief system and way of life constantly under attack. It's getting harder every year.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work in getting the truth out!
Daily feeling those same sentiments. Sigh. Loving your "enemies" and praying for those who persecute you (Matt. 5:44) can surely be challenging, but, oh, so necessary and required of us. As the people of this world march onward toward evil/wrong and embrace it so with such ferocity, things will get worse before they get better.... but, we know Who holds the future in His hands and has the final victory! Thank you for sharing boldly and wisely. It is encouraging to know others are feeling the same way. Sometimes when I look around at all the people blindly (willingly!) following nonsense, I feel like I'm in a bizarre episode of the Twilight Zone... (-;
