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

Who Can I believe

BELIEVE THIS

Is there any confusion among you
in the end times men (and women?) will be
Greedy
Lovers of themselves
horny (like what your kids watch on TV)
Arrogant
Godless
Unmerciful
Promiscuous (really?)
murderers
motherfuckers
father fuckers
brother fuckers
Sister fuckers
Violent
trusting everything
but God
Holding to powerless forms of godliness
while
worshiping idols
with your best interest in mind
We must change the paradigm or, God should be in the process I think.
The paradigm shift is a God sponsored event, that will take place the minute or the second
or the very millisecond one sees the Kingdom of God
have you seen this?  There is a book full of stories about this kingdom. Some people are satisfied with knowing all these stories (good stories)
in the correct order
in the original language
with all the rules applied
in the correct juxtaposition
and fucking social context
And never Taste, like studying an album cover or CD insert; you can know all about the band, the language, social context
but never hear the songs
the song is the event, listening to it
singing it
feeling the music
let it affect you
infect you
effect you
or fill you with sorrow
or joy
or hope
or memories
what the fuck good is music if you can't experience
it (music)
What the fuck good will it do to know there is someone in the sky to take care of me by and by and if I cannot
experience
taste
hear
and see
and know
Him or Her or we may be able to say Them  (if you carefully explain trinity) or not
may you find this shift now
don't ask me how
just grab it when it is there.
Always your friend we are all in this together.
spread the love

One Minute Sermon

being poor

Poor is better


Tim Keller's video is most excellent for a gracious approach to being Poor. I believe it was Philip Yancy, who wrote about being at the presidential prayer breakfast during the Clinton years. I am not sure I have this verbatim but.
During a time economic struggle and deep concern for the direction of this nation Yancy talks about being poor.
by quoting Jesus
Blessed are the poor, Mr. President, when we are poor it is better. it is not the economy, stupid.
it is poverty we are after.
not to be # one
smartest
most powerful
fewest abortions
bigger churches
American dream
strongest military
Woe unto you who are rich, said Jesus
the chances of hearing and responding to the call of God,
are proportional to the amount of stuff you own but do not need.

A lot of truth here, if we disconnect being poor to being saved, we may be lying to ourselves, as we remain in denial. What does it mean to be poor?

One Minute Sermon

Make love to your Guns or (fuck guns) just sayin

GONE HUNTING

Three in the morning at the Poverello, out of the car now walking around, a young agitated lady warns me that this is a dangerous place for me to be in my 08 Accord. Roll up the windows she said, and lock the doors. I assured her that the Lord was with us and there is nothing to fear.

She looked at me like, "you don't get it"? Driving on and asking a few more questions, I learned I would have to wait till around four to meet the guy I was looking for.
So I park at a gas station under the light, after making sure there were no signs that forbid parking under said light, the engine goes off and all is well.

Fucking police car pulls up to light at intersection...............and I am hoping the two cops in the car aren't more of Fresno's finest "shoot first" ask questions latter, group. They did not shoot me, but you could tell they were a bit bumfuckeled that a 61 year old cripple guy wants to sit under a light in a gas station in one of Fresno's
finest areas
reading a book.
at 3 am.
In their usual aggressive manner, that assumes everyone is lying, an officer that used to work for the people asks me for my license. This brave man warns me that I am in a dangerous area, roll up windows and lock doors
and be careful
and then the cops
drive off.

There I am without a fucking gun, just like the last forty years of my life, no fucking gun. So this little message is for all the fucking straw men, that are going to take my rights if I don't have a gun.

Mother Theresa hand no guns, the little short nun worked the worst parts of NY with no body guards.

Two hundred homeless farmworkers from Mexico and South America, lived in the, Church On San Juan Road, along with the regular homeless people and a few parolees, no fucking guns no fear.

It is time for us to plan for peace, plan to get rid of the riot gear, plan to settle differences without pigs. Sounds a little 60s I know...............but I was there! Just in case you don't understand it has only become more violent, more dead, more bombs, more guns, more laws, even more church.

If you own a gun, man the fuck up and get rid of it. And get rid of it in such a manner that no one else can use it. Before all the righteous mutherfuckers  pick up anything with a trigger and destroy each other, as they do away with evil.

Occupy you heart, rid yourself of evil, #embracepoor

Embrace the poor and it all goes away. Jesus loves us..................really!

the place it should have worked

 The place it should have worked

The people of God are called to care for the poor, if there is a question about this; one only need check their who-ness. Where the truth speaks loudest concerning our fellow man is the part about loving your neighbor as yourself, and doing unto others what you would want them to do for you.

If we are honest, the people of the Lord God Almighty are responsible for the poor. We have this book that declares all who believe in Jesus are going to get to go to heaven someday, and in the meantime it is very important that we care for the weak and the least, because that is as close to heaven as you get on earth.

So here we sit in America and could give a fuck about the poor, the poor in America. It is always cheaper to take care of the poor peoples poor than to take care of our own. So this word is for the evangelical church in our country.

You have failed and the little you have is not enough. The poor are not under your roof, like Solomon you have greatly fucked up. Of all the poor and oppressed people of the world those under the care of God's man Solomon should have the finest of treatment in fact there should be no poor and oppressed in Solomon's kingdom according to the Queen of somewhere.

The united states government will soon stand before God, and Angels, and Jesus, and me and you and all of us before God and give an answer for the condition of the world. If our answer is anything short of we have fucked it up, ain't nobody getting in heaven, you see there is no cancer in heaven motherfucker, so check your capitalism at the fucking door. Heaven is not a place to strive, not a place for moving ahead, for being the best. The earth is supposed to be as it is in heaven.

So either drop the fucking weapons, and hey lift ya hands up lift ya hands up and lead the way to peace by surrendering all weapons nukes and all to the middle of the fucking ocean. Or kiss the milinials good bye. In fact now might be a good time to bend over stick your head between your legs and kiss your own ass good bye .Embrace the poor and it all goes away
