Formulated Thoughts 3.

Well, here I am again. More thoughts to fling.

Hopefully, some good mental paths to bring.

Did somebody’s mind synthesize them before?

I swear, I did not peek into another person’s door.

How many minds have pondered life in thought?

I’m sure many people have quested and sought.

I struggled in my mind to squeeze out these words.

My hope is you may not think they’re for the birds.

I know these sayings may sound like that of a rookie.

Please, I swear they didn’t come from a fortune cookie.

Having great control over one’s tongue, many times is to

Chain it in place.

Be jealous of what other people have. Not material things! But

What some possess within them in greater quantities than you.

Joy, compassion, selflessness, care, and love. Wish not to steal it,

but to emulate it within yourself. Disciplined jealousy.

Father, you accept us. Flaws and all. Because you help us

out of the flaws, and into your all.

The kingdom of God is not a static state of ecstasy, but a dynamic

action of service and perfection.

Question, discuss, debate, argue but don’t complain.

Pity is given when you are perceived to be hopeless.

Compassion is given when you are perceived to be hopeful.

Why does friendship sometimes have to be a chess game?

Sometimes a mirror is needed to see yourself. To see yourself inside,

use people to serve as an internal mirror.

We must be mindful of the great things we are in now.

Not to panic about the future or to despair about the past.

Help me see my life not as a rock, but as a gem.

Let the truth be recognized as a great value. Hopefully

greater than yourself.

Ego, pride is a self-generated machine that uses others as fuel.

It is difficult to stand in the river of life and help people upstream.

But you can help someone downstream.

Love should never have a price tag!

We should be homogenous in the body of God.

Working together differently.

May God bear me the blade that cuts through the lies

and exposes the truth.

Let us change. Not for the better, but for the best.

There is no incongruence between God and science.

God is science and science is a reality of God.

When it comes to bringing people to God, don’t try to sell them

a vacation package. Just give them a place to rest their head.

We are animals in origin. Gods in destiny. Live the struggle

of experience.

Don’t “fight the good fight.” Wrestle or struggle with the particular

deed at hand. Fighting has many things uncontrolled, like a war.

Bloody noses and black eyes upon the innocent may occur.

Wrestling or struggling only embraces the deed that needs to be done.

If they don’t like you, your words can never be true. Until they make

those words their own. Then those words are great!

I would rather live in a temporary pit of sorrow, rather than live in

a permanent gutter of hate, greed, and self-gain.
