All the brokenness... all the reasons - all the madness - ends up, sooner or later in places like this.  In my silence, and by not prying or asking or investigating anybody, the stories come out - and of free will, as though they need someone to talk to.  And - it's true.  For who has time these days to lend a friendly ear?  It is so badly needed out there -  a true friend - one you can trust and talk with and share... things you've collected along the way in life.  Sometimes we need to empty ourselves of life's collections of things - we all collect stuff and hang onto it... the good AND the bad become memories of life's experiences and journeys.  Where have we gone with technology that the new, great and true friends are now our electronics interfacing with one another?

... All the people... all the lonely people... where do they all come from?  Who can you 'unload on' without fear of recourse?

Our government has lost touch with its people.  It happened a long time ago... Being on the pulse of the people's needs is key to keeping the dream alive!  Times of uncertainty are closing in fast, if not already here.  If an average of one out of ever five people are incarcerated, I wonder if the answers to repair human life are within reach?  But who is trying to save anyone anymore?  A small percentage is safe to estimate... But what about the older people.  It seems as though our government could care less about them and are more concerned with the next NEW social security number and birth.

Anyone in their right mind can see that we are in the last days... But, it's about getting honest with yourself, isn't it?  Who does that anymore?  We've even written off our founding fathers and our history altogether.  Shouldn't we have learned and preserved something from them?  Did all of the different versions and interpretations of the Bible cause people to abandon spirituality?

So... I am doing the Lord's will... and I'm actually am honored that He's asked me to do this.  I see the heartfelt appreciation in the others here, as I am a representative of the Lord.  People are hurting and lost... But the good thing is that there are those select few who are also looking to start over - begin again, come back to the Lord....

I am glad to be here, for the Lord has sent me to do this!  And as strange as it may sound... I am grateful to have helped.  "His" ways are not ours... and who are we to question the chain of command?  I must tell you how useful I feel doing the Lord's work and will.  It must be His direction... who am I to complain or question?

I look forward to the days ahead... I always know that there will be good days and bad days... But - life is like that, isn't it?  I feel useful for the first time in my life since I was younger.  Totally rewarding, this work is... and, I am grateful to oblige the Great One.

Much love and  many blessings to you too.
