And much more for #MemeMonday!
Happy Monday!
Note: The first meme is an insult to Tinkerbell and all fairies everywhere. Consent indeed lies at the center of what ought to be the prime directive of of humankind: Consent in all things!
Tinkerbell knows this, and would never use fairy dust to violate this core rule. (Otherwise, the meme is solid.)
I always thought it was so strange that such a great multitude of seemingly rational people think that a few "magic" words like taxes, government, democracy have the amazing ability to turn an immoral or unethical act into something that is okay, or even commendable. Most of these would laugh at anyone who still believed in Santa Claus, or the Easter Bunny and think of themselves as sane intelligent people.
I always find it interesting how our past and our history follows us. It could be something that we did when we were younger or it can come from generations before. Trauma can be passed down from previous generations. Whole groups of people can continue to look backwards to past traumas or persecutions that have long since been gone. It can hold us back from being what we were meant to rise too.
In Jesus’s day there was a man named Saul. He was the biggest enemy of the church. He hated believers, he even had some killed. He constantly threatened them saying he was going to throw them in prison. In one moment God changed his life. He went from Saul to the apostle Paul. Now Im in no way condoning murder or imprisoning people based on religion, but imagine if Paul lived in his past. What if he said I can’t write books promoting Christ. If Paul had become imprisoned by his past 1/2 of the New Testament would never have been written. What will we miss out on if we let the past stop the gifts that could be given by people with new ideas?
When we look at our present day system of government are we seeing these big sweeping changes that are needed, or are we seeing more of the same. I question so many critical issues that are never brought up by this current administration, like the continuation of injecting babies with this DNA altering experimental “inoculations”. Or how about the fact that not one criminal politician that robbed the taxpayer has been prosecuted, but yet common protesters spent 4 or 5 years in the government gulag. No one has been held accountable.
We don’t have to let the past dictate our future. There comes a time where we have to leave the past behind. At this point in my life I need hope to spring eternal. Nothing in our past, has to stop our future. Nothing we have said, nothing anyone has done should stop us from reaching our highest potential. No mistakes we’ve made are too big for Gods mercy. There comes a time where change is imperative. J.Goodrich
