Told you this before they even passed the damn thing?
“There is still a lot of thinking on the right that if big corporations are happy, they’re going to take the money they’re saving and reinvest it in American workers,”
(It's been a sham since the 80's.
Trickle down economics isn't a theory, it's theft.)
Rubio said in the interview, published late last week.
“In fact they bought back shares,
a few gave out bonuses;
there’s no evidence whatsoever that the money’s been massively poured back into the American worker.”
gonna have to let me know youre serious in the stairs account
or im not going to share what I was going to share with you lol.
Seriously, youre going to have to let me know your there lol
Or you'll just have to suffer and wonder.
Just like your boobs lol.
I got nothing else to do but sit around and look at
beautiful pictures of you and other women?
I got things I gotta get done woman.
I ain't got time for your shit.
somebody ask me, 'How do I manifest stuff in my life?'
"I say to them.
'What do you want to manifest?'
A better you?
More compassion?
Greater understanding?
Gift of wisdom?
More love?
Or the perfect mate?
Or the better job?
No...no...no...
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
and all these things will be added unto you.
And I finally got it.
If I spent my life sharing the wisdom the understanding the clarity and the love of God?
With as many people as I could reach?
I would no longer have to search
for the perfect mate.
The perfect job.
The perfect income.
The perfect anything. It would all just crash in on me."
I'm pretty good on the being inspired part lol.
Thanks for explaining things somewhat.
Means a lot.
I know you've worked you ass off.
And I know not just for me but for you/us etc.
My point is, it's appreciated Lucy.
Always has been.
I've always told you that.
Tuesday all day in the library.
9:30AM - 8PM.
Hammering out commentary on Isaiah 34.
Gonna try and do it in a day :-).
Inspired and all :-).
If not?
Get a good chunk of it done anyway.
Prayers tuesday everybody.
What?
lol.
What star?
Who said anything bout a star lol?
"It's an exchange. I respond to you. I build this relationship to you.
I learn what you love, what inspires you, what you expect.
You've done an amazing job. Better than could ever have been expected I'm just not used to people doing things for me, or caring all that much. You just get desensitized to it after a while. I'm sure you can relate. I just always kinda thought this. What you just said above. To many times, for to long of a period now, I would just mention something and then the next thing I know I got a picture coming my way of what I just talked about :-). It's just surreal to me that it's happening. Im dense. Even when I know wassup, I'm dense. It's just me, you get used to it after a while. You'll think I'm playing at first. Then you'll remember, "Oh yeah, he means it, he's not pretending, he really doesn't know or can't remember." Reference Cosmos if need be. Or? Reference: I'm just not used to people doing things for me, or caring all that much. You just get desensitized to it after a while.
I only hope to continue to grow through this connection.
Me too. Or I don't see the point.
I'm proud of the pictures I take
and the captions I write,
the people I meet
and the adventures I live.
You should be. I would be too. They are amazing.
But if I can't share it and connect through energy?
Whats the point?
There would be none.
It's the connection we create that inspires me to keep going."
Me too.
Im just ready to start living it.
Not seeing it, talking about it.
I know. Live in the moment. I get it. Not everybody gets paradise laid out right in front of them day after day. Then gets told to not look forward to it.
Others have said it would have drove them insane by now.
Not me. Not yet anyway lol. 27 days or whatever lol.
Always keep in mind, Not everybody has the perspective you do from your experience.
While others of us may like to be more like that?
Without that experience?
It's a lil harder for some of us to come by I guess is what I'm saying.
so, it's an emotional day lol.
Go figure.
They all are anymore seems like.
I'm feeling like...whatever and
I see you in that dress.
Screenshot.
I just smile.
I see you and it just all goes away.
I can't harbor regrets, grudges, stay mad, nothing.
It all just goes away when I look in your eyes.
I knew there was a message waiting for me at church.
I knew it.
I knew it ahead of time. I could feel it.
I thought about going to the later service at Lewisport UMC. Voice said don't you dare.
I go in.
Sit down.
It's rough. I'm praying. Cause I get lost. And I get tired. And it'all emotional and everything...
and he says...
"The love that you've had for her since you met her is indicative of the love I have for mankind. The love you'll share together? Wiping each others slate clean and starting over? Is indicative of starting a new life with Christ. That day in the library. I kept telling you this is what it's all about? Well? This is whats its all about."
And immediately, the burden was lifted.
Things got easier.
Then Brother Joe says:
(Talking about his wife)
"and I realized just how important she is in my ministry. Without her? I can't do this ministry."
He went on to say: "Unexpected experiences/obstacles? This is where you can hear God's voice if you walk with Christ regularly."
He said what if you got to the end,
you saw Christ and he said,
"You wasted your life"?
Lucy?
This is our calling.
Were not going to miss it sweetheart.
I came home that day?
And heard this for the first time ever?
And tears were just streaming down my face?
And I know you remember the day.
I could tell all the way up here it hit a cord.
These lyrics?
"See for me if her hair's hanging down
It curls and falls all down her breast
See for me that her hair's hanging down
That's the way I remember her best"
Your favorite ride?
Was exactly what I was thinking bout.
"I’m a-wonderin’ if she remembers me at all
Many times I’ve often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day"
and away we go.
Good luck matching them up.
Skipping over some etc.
Then?
When I'm done?
Laying down.
Been going pretty hard.
Cooked and cleaned up dinner for six.
Talladega tomorrow.
'The big one" lol.
It always happens lol.
Like it and I'm not that big on cafe racers.
No, you are.
Plan on it.
Haven't even started yet.
Always liked her.
You my wild baby.
Sounds like two people I know here before much longer.
"in the soft gray mist of the in-between", exactly.
Big dog bites the bone Life's too short to take all this
Not true when what's more:
Life's too short to mind Just keep on with The Sweet Up and Down
Unturning her cheek Inside-out, her neat little pose Dirty, little girl
Climbs out of the hole in her own In this Sweet up and Down
I believe in love But believe it's my heart that keeps turning me down I believe in love I think it's just fine Oh, the Sweet up and Down
Big pig turns to me
Pig he needs to eat like us all
Not far from the beast
Man sits down to feast on this part Of the Sweet up and down
I believe in love And believe it's my heart that keeps turning me down I believe in love I think it's just fine On the Sweet up and Down
BT...
Up and down, inside out Outside in some you lose some You win for us all Up and down we go Bad times choke us all once or twice On this Sweet up and Down
I believe in love But think nothing about it when you're not around I believe in love I think you're just fine On the Sweet up and Down
I believe in love But believe in my heart that keeps turning me down I believe in love I think you're just fine On the Sweet up and Down...
Whatever it is I manage to achieve in this life through the power thats working through me.
How ever many people get helped, whatever it is that can be created to assist others, etc.
If it doesn't bring me closer to you, put you in my arms for the rest of my life?
Then to me?
It was all a failure.
You're all I ever wanted.
I told you that from practically day one.
Told you I don't care about the past just us going forward together etc.
I'd like to think I've proven every word.
People will say, "Well he shouldn't feel like that" lol.
Like they ever have the right to say such a thing.
What they are really saying is,
"Well I wouldn't feel like that if I was him."
Well they're not me.
They have no idea how I feel.
None.
Nobody ever has the right to tell you how you should feel about something.
They might as well be saying, "Don't be you."
Everybody has the right to their own feelings.
How ever crazy others may think they are.
I'm me.
I know how I feel.
I've known since I met you.
Went to the lake and read my notes
on the book of Revelation from Brother Joe's
Bible study.
Thats my get away spot.
Birds.
Trees.
Quiet.
Caught sunset on way back.
Needed it.
Got a huge ass boston butt were (I'm) smoking tomorrow.
Got the rub on it it's sitting in the refrigerator.
Wood chunks are soaking in water.
Ought to be good.
All that and you know who was on my mind?
I think you know. :-).
