I hate to say it, there is a serious battle for the heart and soul in America. There are battles being fought in other places around the world too. These battles are ugly, and the stakes are high. There are two sides, maybe more in a battle, and sometimes the battles turn into a war. Sometimes there are no winners in a war, just a lot of broken bodies and scarred souls. Goodness gracious, what is all this good for? What can we do to have peace, to end the battle to restore sanity?

Word Of The Day – Daily Prompt : Meh
Meh is one of those new words that have come along to say how unimpressed or underwhelmed we are with something. Face it, being impressed takes a lot of work and even then it still doesn’t pan out. The word meh can be disheartening but in reality its truth and that can hurt. It can mean that we have lost our enthusiasm about things and its easy to do when there is a level of burnout. We are bombarded with things begging for our attention and interest so it has to be something special or its just meh.
Daily Prompt: Believe
If you have been coming around this here blog of mine you have seen a post or two about faith, religion, spirituality and that sort of thing. Yes, I am a believer, a believer in a loving and caring creator who is here to offer the world amazing things. God, Yahweh, Allah, Great Spirit no matter what your name for the creator is there is something to believe in if you are so inclined. (I love Jesus and I cuss a little, drink a little too).
Now I don’t believe in a creator who is destructive, mean-spirited and vengeful. We get enough of that from human beings who can and have used what they believe to marginalize people because they don’t fit in. It’s sad how many people have been tossed aside because their beliefs and faith aren’t what some people think it should be. I believe there can be a middle way or Via Media.
There is also the need to respect those who have chosen not to believe, although they seem to reflect the light and love in the god they don’t believe in better than those who believe. What you believe is your own business and what I believe in is a big table, a wide circle and there is room for more.
I love and respect you my blogging community. Believe it or not.
Daily Prompt: Popular
In school and pretty much through life I have never been popular. It’s something that hasn’t bothered me except I do like being included in things or thought of. Personally I don’t think I could handle being the “IT” person or the guy everyone raves about. Something about being popular is similar to narcissism or something like that. Popularity has its good points but it can also be a curse. Being well known isn’t all its cracked up to be if you see how some folks live with their own fame.
Were/are you popular in your circle of friends or community?
