Mr. Franklin, you are a genius .....
"The way to see by Faith is to shut the eye of Reason." Benjamin Franklin
Faith, appears to be lost. There is no faith, it just is what we believe. Faith is without reason. Faith, was working towards the unseen.
Faith isn't about seeing anything. Sometimes it seems to be like being in a dark room, one is looking for the light. You hear a voice saying " The light is to the right. Take 3 steps forward and then turn right and then 2 more steps."
Faith is taking the directions. Whether or not they work.
In our age though, we kill that. We have to "SEE" before we do it .
Close your eyes and start walking. Follow the directions even when u are scared or worried ( yes, I'm afraid of the dark).
Close the eye of Reason.

Grow Up
I never had the high school experience. I was homeschooled from 3rd -12th grade. Sure i had times where I hung out with other homeschooled kids, played sports against other schools. I had friends and such. The drama though of "high school soap opera", well not my thing.
Hm, so I went on to school finally a "real" school experience. I missed a few lessons. Sure I had some brains in some stuff. Knew bible back and forth I could probably eat alive some of the so called "bible majors"
Haha, I learned slowly that that never leaves. It seems instead of the spats of said drama, it continues in life. I read alot as a younger guy. Learned some skewed ideals. From learning to hide my anger (sure if you hide it it will go away or you will only break out if it overwhelms you once or twice..... sure........ sarcasm) to a thought that if you are nice and stuff .... you can win anyone. Added to that is , well, people think in essence like you and (sure i was sheltered in some things... ok alot of things) hey, if you know how you say it, then the person you speak to or such will also.
Well all that got thrown out the window and does daily. In the movie "The Dark Knight", Alfred, Bruce Wayne's butler, tells a story of a man who stole jewels in Burma. This man would rob and then take the jewels away. Alfred stated that the man didn't sell the jewels, he just threw them out. Bruce asks why. Alfred replied : Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
I have lived only a little while, but this is true. People want to watch the world burn in order for them to get what they want.

Why does this matter? Unless we know who we are, we will never find what is needed to grow up. Still, Dan, why write this stuff?
Because... Because it's killing me inside. I want people to get along. I want them to stop this crap..... this crap that "Oh no, you told on me. My feelings are hurt, I hate you." crap that is in every job and place it seems. Men are the worst, darn you guys! "Oh look at that guy, he is hurting my "rep", i need to go there and act tough and etc..." GROW THE HECK UP!
I'm not saying this from the standpoint of "well they are stupid, I would never do that." Heck no, I have done that too many times and regret each time I have done it and start or do do it. GROW THE HECK UP. I've always been angry, hm doesn't help that I was home schooled and such , since I learned to internalize and well, no one was really there to usually slap me in the face when i got into one of my moods or find out how I really felt (hm I always and still do call my brother a chameleon, since I know he is good at changing his demeanor to suit people. Meanwhile I learned how to do not so much color change, but hide things inmyself while showing a different face, then subsequently it came out at the wrong time... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I"M SORRY, AE(S?) and my family and others. ). That is no excuse. I know now and I have a long road back. Grow up, in work, I have co-workers who are well.... they are kids. From 24 -over 50 years old, it is the same. I hate it, because I fall into it too at times. Like I need more issues to work on. (sad smile...sigh)
An example, maestro...... I work in a facility with an office i use the computer to write the day's activity on. Two men also work consistently in the office also.One co-worker is stickler (we shall call him ying) for rules, another is the antithesis of him (to be called here, yang)...... no, opposites do not attract here.... sigh. Well, Yang, was seen doing something against policy and he told Ying. Of Course Ying being stickler warned Yang to not do it.Unfortunately Yang did it anyways and was seen by a superior who went to another superior and told them. Yang got in trouble and one of the superiors asked Yig about it and of course Ying told the truth. Ying was the only one told here so of course Yang figures out the Ying had something to do with it. Here comes the kicker, Yang does bad, gets in trouble and somehow Ying is the bad guy because he did what was right. (in Yang's eyes). Ying is being what seems to be with stickler types, uncompromising and sort of stuck up. Well, a nice argument ensues and of course " I'm right , you are wrong." argument ensues and stuff comes up where they both have a wrong or such. Grow up. Ying did the right thing, but he forgets that there is a thing called not continuing to press the case. Yang, well he is being prideful and not taking responsibility. They both needed to grow up . This destroys relationships, friendships, marriages, families.
Grow up, the world is bigger than what one person sees. I have to re-learn that everyday. I believe a crash um, refresher course is happening right now. I'm not the man I have been (thank GOD), but I have a lot of growing up to do. It seems we all do, our so called "maturity and adulthood" is seeming like level one , two , three, four, etc of this nonsense. Grow up, one human doesn't have the world revolve around them. Even Jesus, didn't have the world revolve around Him.... He made sure He went around to the world and revolved around them.
Well, guess I just needed to get it off my chest. Until we figure out we have to grow up and have to do it daily, we won't get truly far in what matters. (abrupt ending here :) )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ending of thought today... follows is a prayer.... Peace, love, forgiveness, and thanksgiving.......
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, GOD, take care of her, still everyday i think of her. I pray she is well. For her family too and any ailments or issues they are going through or deal daily in their lives. I pray the bitterness in my heart dies regarding some things. I pray you take Abuelo soon, and peacefully. I pray comfort on those who have to see his decline and care in these last days. I pray for momma, fibromyalgia, well dang, i just pray for some comfort. Also for dad, who has to be away from Momma for work. I have nothing, but you give me Everything! I can never say thank you enough. Thank you for getting me pass part one of getting promoted. I totally didn't get through it, You carried me, because I totally messed up BAD. So thank You. Thankyou for today and giving me idea of giving co-worker my cupcake.... it was his birthday. He seemed to appreciate it and I think it made him happy. If that is all I was made for, then it was worth living this long. Thank You for all things. I'm sorry I stink in times of trials. Thanks for pulling me out of fire. Honor and glory to You.
