where does your help come from?

Where does my help come from? In a recent adventure the realization that my help is other than, may be why I am sitting here. Thinking about help. Realizing how powerless I am. Who will save us?
If I could I would

If we can we will; it will take outside influence  Something Other Than
A powerful force, that fills this earth with love.

Pretty much, it is believed that there is a connection
between the power of the universe
A creative force
Or a person
and love
Love suffers long and is kind

Love does not envy

Love does not parade itself    is not puffed up    does not behave rudely           (oops)
does not seek its own     is not provoked         thinks no evil   does not rejoice in iniquity
Love, rejoices in the truth
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails
Yea brushing up on love could be the "next right thing"
For us to do.
our help is love
God is love
my help comes from
God                          (as I understand the package)
If it is a package
Here is what I  think I understand
We suck
God  as understood is for us
for us
you and me
love is for us
now what?
We can only dream    and proclaim     what we
See.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.
That is as good as it gets Love always hears the cry
of the broken
the bruised
the poor of spirit
the poor and oppressed
This same love cries out to the
proud
the haters
the stars
the rich
the top
to walk away and follow me, I am the way the truth and the life

just fucking sayun always in love your friend eli

Without Love

If there is nothing in my life giving me peace and hope, and love for others......then what.

well I could consume more and learn more and even make more, and better, and faster, and farther. I could even go to NA AA Church salvation army saint Mary, or VO. I could use the proper fucking language that sits well with all. And even give my shit away, without a flinch.

I could be a super hero and ...save the fucking day, even in the name of Jesus.

I could make everything OK, being a legend in my own mind and so could you.

Or I guess one could just throw in the towel. (what ever that is)

And think it is all a joke.

Without Love.

it is a joke

May we be found now.

While there is still food.

If you have been found lead the way

Or the joke may be on us

not really a joke. Maybe The Solution?

could we change a thing? can I change a thing?

I figured
the only thing I can change is me.

Another world is possible
because we are unstoppable, not me

Always in love of some sort, your friend, bill

once while pissed off

Ever get angry

Me? yes and the more I learn about anger the more I have learned to keep it short and to the point.
I read in the book that it is ok to be angry, biblically speaking it says, don't carry anger to the point of fucking up behind it. Be angry
Sin     not
do not let the sun go down on your anger    (not as if the sun is going to do you)
basically don't fall asleep angry!
because these little tiny parts
of you and me jump down
from our head
into our stomach
and while we sleep they make us sick
anger and sleep
equal BAD HAIR day

So I am angry last week. There is only one option
Trust God
right?
So off to palm springs I go
without my car
or my wife, or any $ an 0 cents sense
For the first hour or so, no one would pick this limply old fart with a walker up and take me anywhere, so I called my friend, Greg
He picked me up to take me to the freeway, I think I may have shared with Greg, how corrupt the chief of police is here in Fresno.
Or how aggressive and militant the pigs are around the poorest group of mutherfuckers man has ever known.
where food is manufactured by machines
and people are kicked to the curb
then kicked under the bus
and left to die
YES in fucking central cali!

Now Greg has just dropped me off at the entrance to 99 at the end of Herndon Avenue
sitting on my walker, trying to calm down before it gets dark.
with no shoes on
in the heat  and then I sense a car pulling in behind me
them   I notice it is the fucking sheriff's car
looking straight at the ground, cause I was going to be ready for this guy, maybe even jail, or at least an hour in the "holding cell".   I look up and
here comes the most gentle, pretty, kind, pig,
that is not a pig    but a
beautiful
lady that  says, "I see you have no shoes, and wondered if I could give you a ride somewhere".
just sayin
Always in love; let us grab hands and head for the light while we still can.  make love not war. #embracepoor

The whole nine yards, in a nutshell?

In a nutshell the good news is this. The Divine gets reduced to the finite, so the finite, can be reduced to the divine. In other words, when we look at the exodus, we can see Moses (speaks for God) not without Aaron. After convincing the divine that he did not have the talent, God agrees and mitigates with Aaron, staff, signs and wonders. The finite is reduced to divinity.

Church guys and Gals have been known to call this process, disciple making, spiritual formation, shepherding, Sunday school, cell groups, kinship groups, the list goes on. Church is generally the place we assume we can find out about God, or do something for God, because we already know all about God. Can we look at that?

This whole process of  reducing man to God, is the hardest. Of course we are told from many of the pulpits and mainstream media; that it is all about better, church life is better for business, church is better for family, better for self esteem etc. The truth is, however,  the good news is about death. There is no reason to fool ourselves at this point, the good news is that we are forgiven, the bad news is, they still don't let darkness in the new Jerusalem.

Everything around us changes at this moment of clarity. Some people believe it is at this time that a holy spirit, begins to replace or, de-emphasize, the not so holy flesh. For some this is a time that God begins to "speak" to them. Others have an experience in the mystical sense. Still others find teachers, or become teachers at this time.

The book of 1 john in the bible says this, if you can believe it, "As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
 Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.  We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.  We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.  But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?  Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.  We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him  in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
