The World Around Us
You know i was sitting here pondering what i should write.
Well today i was feeling very emotional. I actually just sit down and cried with my wife on my lap. Why you ask? Well I’m disturbed about alot of things going on in this world and I’m truly saddened by it. Every where i go i see and feel pain around me . Each and every day i feel the intensity of it growing. I see people raising children and there is no love for them. Only contempt for ruining your so called precious lives. When all in all your children should have been more precious than anything on earth. Yet many take this precious gift and turn it into something cold and heartless. Ive heard parents tell there children they should have never been born and believe me kids i know how you feel. It makes us feel like we were a burden and theres the guilt you feel because you believe it was your fault for ruining your parents lives. I know this demon guilt i still carry it to this day and no amount of counseling or pills or alcohol can rid you of it. Its sad you parents say these words with never a thought as to how you’ve made us feel inside. Or when you say we are useless or we will never amount to nothing we are a useless carcass of flesh in this world. Well your words can sometimes define our paths and like me it did.
That was one issue i had been feeling down about but another is i feel theres something inside me pushing me to tell you all that if we don’t change very soon many will not only lose their lives but their very souls. I’m not a Christan man yet i do believe in some of the bibles teachings. But at the same time i believe no man on this planet. To many of you with to many different ideas of what the truth. Now i had this inner voice in my heart tell me not to listen to you . The truth that i seek is inside me. And lately Ive felt this sense of urgency to tell you its just about time for things to change. A war is coming and will be unlike any we have ever known. I’m not for sure what my creators name is but i feel it inside me. Showing me the world and showing me things happening around me. It seems with every passing year it gets worse. But lately it feels like its going to blow soon. Then all your precious money you’ve horded deceived people for stoled and killed for will not be worth the paper its written on. So truly your life will be forfet if you try to hold onto it. People love money more than human life and value a piece of paper over love and friendship. Woe unto you for your time and reward are coming to you and pity there will be none. War is always present around us and for you who are fighting in it i give this warning. Woe unto you for you who pick up a sword against your brother ye shall die by it. Whatever is up there is warning us to stop what we are doing before its to late. Very few will listen i know but those who do You Will reap the reward you have coming so love and care for one another cherish life and give praise to whoever your god or lord is follow the rule of loving your brother no matter who or where they are from. This government and many others would have us believe war is necessary and to hate your enemy I tell you this, a great man once said love your enemy. How can you love this enemy if your putting a bullet in his head. Don’t be brainwashed by governments who are feeding off of you like leaches. They feed off your hard work they lie they cheat and they steal your very lives away from you.
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!

I know we choose our own destiny. I think you need to start surrounding yourself with more positive things in life. SHUT OFF THE TELEVISION. I tell you what – there is only negative to be seen on tV these days. I bet if you took a break from watching the TV your mood would change. Maybe you are not a TV watcher – I do not know. Just a suggestion. I truly believe in the Law OF Attracton as long as you take action. Things will not your in your lap just for breathing. Surround yourself with positive things and see if that helps to brighten your burden.
Smile and Create A Great Week!

A lot of this I agree with. I wish there were no wars or need for money but unfortunately money buys food and shelter and these are necessities. I don’t need money to buy lavish expensive things but just to get by. Family, friends, and relationships though will always be more important than money. The iraq war right now I was against from the very start and it is a disaster that we may not be able to get out of for centuries.

You know shelly this is not from tv ive spent years watching people and what ive seen well lets just say its far from fiction. Ive seen how people treat each other and how parents treat their children. My friends back home were in these wars and they will never be the same they told me what men do to these people we are at war with and i was appauled at the actions of the U.S soldiers like i said you people better wake up
March 17, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Hey tim this is not about people making an honest living this is about greed i know theres some of us just tring to get by but those that are rich only want more they are never satisfied they would leave people like us to starve on the streets for a piece of paper with green ink on it and as ive stated befor just who gave them permission to call anything their own It belongs to the creator not us. And about war they say its for god and country well you show me in the bible where god backs mans wars like i said acording to the bible god said tho shalt not kill and myself im not real sure of the bible or realigon but the law seems to me to be a good one and these men starting and fighting in these wars claim to follow gods laws I beg to differ

and you are right, someghing will come fast or slow is coming and that is why we need to be prepared, spiritually, mentally and physically, specially spiritually, we need to find the alternatives, because when the world as we know it change, we have to be changed to, so we need to keep our eyes wide open and owr hears attent to any sound specially as you said… that inner voice inside, call it soul, call it inner self higher, call it holly spirit, but listen to it, and be and do just positive things in your life and others…
Great blog, I like when people speak what they think with no fear…:) congratulations.
Greetings

ty shine very well put and ty for the nice comment myself i think more should be openminded and speak their minds and we should listen to what the other has to say without being =on the offensive side then maybe we could learn from each other

Most Bibles have substituted Our Creators name with “God” or “Lord” and Creator” These are titles, not personal names. Interestingly enough the name “Jesus” is the Greek form of “Joshua” a Hebrew name meaning “Yahweh is Salvation”. In the Hebrew text translated YHWH or JHWH generally referred to as Tetragrammen (literally meaning “having four letters”) Thought I’d share with you…

ty for sharing that zoro its always nice to get some input

I am glad that you posted this. You have been holding it in for quite some time now. I am really grateful to be the one to share this with you. I have been the receiptant of many forms of abuse and I have learned from it. The ole saying goes what don’t kill you will make you stronger. Parents need to realize how precious the gift of a child really is. Ask Nyte, my kids are my life and world. I believe the world is coming to an end very soon and people just sit idolly by and do nothing. Don’t make the mistake that so many do and cherish your worldy goods over your loved ones and friends. You came into this world with nothing and you will leave the same way. There are a couple of sayings that this post brings to mind. One being, a small deed is better than a huge intention, the other is the best thing you can do behind someones back is pat them on it. I am not here to preach just to share what has been graciously shared with me.

Dear Mr. Nyte, it’s wonderful to see you sharing your innermost thoughts and concerns by reaching out to both inform people of your concerns, as well as receive from the wisdom that perhaps some of those same people can sow into your own life that might help to bring about change for the better. In the short time I have known you and Mrs. Nyte, I have discerned that you are both VERY special people in this little world and I’m appreciative to have crossed paths with you both in this virtual place of the Internet. You both always bring up very good points when sharing your thoughts and feelings.
And I just wanted to say that I feel many of your assessments on humanity today are accurate, unfortunately. But please know this: there are still a few genuine people out here in the world who REALLY DO care about bringing about change for the better in the lives of those we are fortunate enough to touch on a regularl basis. Sometimes, that can mean the simplest of things like “hello”. Other times, it may be more involved – like reaching out and pushing a shopping cart for a little old lady through a snowy parking lot. The key factor that will foster change though, is that first the hearts of man (and woman) must be changed for change to come about. If people continue to walk through life with a spirit of pride, unforgiveness, anger, hate, etc. they are unable to put on a spirit of humbleness that allows them the ability to actually SEE CLEARLY what’s really taking place in the world around them. Pride blocks truth. Humility opens a path for truth to be seen.
I don’t know if it’s necessarily “money” itself that alters the state of mind for some people, but more like the LOVE of money – greed. I earn a decent income to help provide for my family. I’m a professional woman who runs her own company – mostly to try to provide for her 4 children what the system dictates is a “necessity” for them, to be able to compete in the lifecycle and world market that society has demanded they function within (i.e. college). But I can honestly say to you that I’m NOT proud about any of my own human accomplishments here. Why? Because I don’t attribute them to any thing that “I” have done, personally. You see, I AM a Christian, and because of the beliefs that are instilled within my heart, I KNOW that without the love of Christ that has been shed inside my own heart through the victory of the cross, I am NOTHING! Without love, NONE OF US are anything! Any successes in life that I have are as a result of God’s blessing upon my life and not any work I’ve achieved on my own. In fact, when I do things on my own, I always screw them up! It’s only when I yield myself to Him and the principles of the Bible (which I feel is the roadmap for life) that I’m ever successful at anything. And that’s OK. On my own, I am a fallen being. With Him, I am an overcomer. I don’t believe that life was ever intended for me (or anyone) to walk it alone. We all need love, support, acceptance. I believe we all need a savior. And in my opinion, I have nothing to lose – but EVERYTHING to gain by holding fast to my beliefs.
I realize that you’re not a believer – and that’s OK; it doesn’t change the way I view you in the least bit. I pick those I associate with by their SPIRITS, not their religions. Thank you for sharing. I believe that one person at a time, one day at a time, we can change the course of the world we live in. It will just take time. (I actually blogged about this a couple months back. It’s in there somewhere if you get time and want to look).
Take care and have a great day!

Wow, what a way to tell it like it is. very touching.
March 18, 2008 at 3:01 pm
ty kimba you always have some words of wisdom and always very supportive maybe all of us togather can change a small part of this world even if its just a few
March 19, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Hi Nyte,
Your words are so heartfelt! You speak with conviction.
I pray you and Mrs. Nyte find comfort in the Love of those who support you here and now. No one can make up for the absence of good parents, but the Spirit of Love that exists in the hearts and words of your fellow travelers here can provide some healing. In a virtual world I can’t reach out and touch your hand or give you a big hug, but I can offer you my listening ears and loving heart.
The Scripture says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus (Yeshua, Joshua, Yaweh, YHWH) is the same no matter what changes take place in the world around us. That is why we can have spiritual stability, or certainty. That is why our faith has a place to anchor itself, and we have a safe refuge in which to BE. YHWH is the great “I AM” (always in the present tense, always the same). Because He was, and is, and always will BE, we, too, can have our BEING through Him.
He never said there would be no weapons…He DID say that “no weapon formed against you will prosper”. He never said there would be no offenses, but He did say, “Woe to the world because of offenses! For OFFENSES MUST COME, but woe to the man by whom the offenses come.”
It is common for children of abuse and neglect to have difficulty trusting. The tragedy is the harm it brings to the soul of that child. He or she also then has difficulty believing that God is trustworthy, let alone capable of Loving us. Jesus had a great love for little children…and said, “whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven And whoever receives ONE LITTLE CHILD like this in My name receives ME.”
There is a verse in the Old Testament that really brought comfort to me when I was having such a hard time understanding my parents’ actions. It says, “A father to the fatherless…is God. He sets the solitary in families.” When we have no parents, or they were not capable of parenting, then God is our Father. HE has made a special provision for fatherless children. Often, too, we find that the families we were born into are not really those we consider “family”. But we are not orphaned. We are set into families, perhaps those people who have become more than family to us, good friends and other loved ones, while we are here on this earth. Another verse says, “When your father and mother forsake you, the Lord will take you up.” One more, “I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.”
We are also promised the Spirit of truth who will “guide you into all truth and will tell you things to come.”
No matter what may come, we have a Refuge and a Hope. It’s not about religion. It’s about relationships. Relationships built with Love.
Much Love to you Mr. and Mrs. Nyte! And (((hugs))).

I am blessed to have my parents.
I know someone who would bad-mouth her own daughter to others.
Her son is sick.Yes she bought him medicines, but I cannot accept why
she have to calculate her expenses and oblige her son to pay for it.She
would mock..
I SPENT $250.SO ALL IN ALL YOU HAVE TO PAY ME $1000.What kind of a mother she is?She would credit everything she do for her family and demand something in return.
She would also tell me, LAST YEAR I EARNED MORE THAN $500,000. DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE MONEY WENT? THERE!!(POINTING HER HUSBAND)
–Her husband was hospitalized because of heart problems- Her husband would just put his head down and walk to his room.
She’s so numb!!!She cares only for her MONEY!!
I have a 9-month-old daughter.Come what may.Even if my kid would rebel
against me, I will never stop being a mother!My daughter deserves the best of me!

God allways give trial for human before he give his gift, the hardest the trial the greatest the gift will be.

Its more of a confession to your self that your life bounded and there’s nothing you can do about it until the time you move on to a better place. We always have been uncertain about our future but yes you can shape and mold your life the you want it to be . So when you look back at it … It seems the most beautiful thing that ever happened to you so stick to your moments and keep sharing your thoughts with all of us cause we are today tomorrow who knows
