Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends

Friends Are Forever

It has been a blessing to help others in the past. But, they had disappeared never to check in to tell me they were fine.
Until last week, I was walking to the bus stop. Yes, the bus stop. Not having a vehicle to drive is a rarity for me. But, as I walked across the street a vehicle stopped abruptly and the fella inside said, "Tam? Is that you, Tam?"

Well, I have been visiting with him a bit these past few weeks and last week I moved into his home. It's been very tranquil. Just like when I let him move in with me, when he was ousted from his home at 19. It's been 6 1/2 years since I saw him. He was still working at the same place and never lived far from me. Yet we hadn't seen each other in so long. Our belief systems are opposites, but our basic approach towards life is similar. Quite, private, and peaceful...yet friendly to others. Intelligent conversation, and the respect of the others 'space'.

I don't know how long this will last...but, I find it to be the way 'home'...should feel. And I am able to have my own 'space', without interruption.

Enjoying music, great food, laughter, and quiet, good manners, and opposing opinions. My daughter is over joyed and is comfortable, and happy. It's truly a nice life, so far.

But, the funniest thing...last night we watch Acroos the Universe, and he was trying to explain it to me. I looked at him and said, "I was born in 1965...I have seen the Beatles and the Rolling Stones be introduced to the USA" I had the record albums, and lived during the Vietnam War." He looked shocked, with a smile. . .saying, "Really? Wow."

PATRICIA KAAS I wish you Love

Patricia Kaas - If You Go Away

Lybia attacked




Good questions...now to find the answers. I don't think it's as simple as this man says, but at least he is thinking. I am concerned, I am thinking of my precious soldier who may go to the worst bloodshed in warfare, ever in history. I am praying. It is not in my control to do much more. God protect our soldiers. Protect your own. Forgive us as a nation for our dreadful sins, and lift us out of all of this mess.

Lybia attacked



Interesting, and good question? I think similarly..yet...there is more to it, ans I must know the answers. The troops will be called in eventually...the worst bloodshed ever between nations is coming. My precioous soldier will be in it...

Little Things Mean A Lot!

Rob Gage says
"I finally have the chance to thank you. We had a pipe break in our front yard, and had to suck out water. We used the 'bucket head' you gave us, the shop vac from home depot. Worked well, got the pipe fixed, and all is better. Thanks again. Miss you guys still, Eliza mentioned Ava the other day, says she still misses her. Hope 1st grade is fine for her and your job for you. Take care, and talk to you later.
Rob"


Someone asked me in a rude questioning way, "When was the last time you did anything for anyone?" I said I do for others all the time, and sometimes find that it's the little things that I do, that seem to be the most helpful to a person. I am so thankful to help save the Gages home from flooding. I will always love the "bucket head'...I swear by them...and always will. Just get more buckets to add and it works better than any work vac. They took it thinking...they would never use it. But, I insisted, one day they would.
It's Vegas baby. Anything can happen.

(sigh) I am useful, loved, and needed on this earth. It feels so nice.

Our life is Influenced and Directed from the Support or Non Support of Society.

I raised my eldest daughter that if you want something let nothing keep you from it. Don't listen to others, follow your own mind...and pray. She never gives up because of that, and is doing much more, much quicker in her life. To be told how to live life is helpful to a point...then you let them free to do 'their' destined purpose.

What a delight to see that we have leaders and followers. It is just unfortunate to have people be influenced by others in a negative way. Informal social influence is much worse than formal control. But, how this ties into religious/non religious classification stuns me. Not all Christiand think the same, or follow exact doctrine in their churches.

I am Christian and feel that I am to obey the laws, and follow God's teachings as I see

Social Control
There are two forms of social control. Church and state. Atheism is to the church what "limited government" is to state. The ruling establishment is and always been afraid of both, and for good reason. Freedom of dissent allows change. Change allows for the rich and the ruling classes to be ousted from their thrones. They seek to stop the enlightenment because it is imposable to own somebody if that person realizes that they can never really be owned, by either god or man.

True freedom has something to do with your innermost being, which cannot be chained, handcuffed or put in jail.

Tamara Expound. I would think you are speaking of formal social control. However, I believe Informal Social control is what is creating so much chaos, and catastophy in this world...completely changing countries and establishing fear in everyone...but, it is started by the 'heads of governments and groups' which is formal government. This is the only way I could keep this short and sweet...without being a 4 page essay. "You have nothing to fear, but fear itself." We have so much to be afraid of, because someone said so, and then we are limited and bound, because someone said so..."There is always a finger pointing time".There is always someone to say "This is what you can eat, wear, do." Only to hear the higher power say, "Don't look at the man behind the curtain." Then he says, "I have the solution." But, we are free to choose, to step out, to make changes...and only a small powerful% of the world will actually do that. Everyone else will talk about it...and be distracted and not focused. The hierarchy knows that they are manipulating the surroundings and that people will never blame them. And as long as there offering, 'bread and circuses', people will be happy & distracted in clusters. And there will be obvious slaughtering and injustice, but people will watch to see if others reaction. But, if people see there is no police, or outcry....then it must be okay (but hierarchy...until those people are coming to the slaughter. or getting on the train...it's too late then. Who will save them. Why didn't they follow their own gut? Why didn't they speak out? Why did they allow any of this to happen? They were followers and not leaders. They wanted to be liked, to have fun, and to enjoy life. They didn't want to be hasseled with the drama, and it was 'all about me', 'everybody has problems... But, who will save me? Where did my freedom go? And that is history repeating itself over and over...because of selfish greed. The greed doesn't have to do with the religions or lack of the religion, it has to do with the leader, the individual, and whether they are seeking to do good or to do bad in their actions, and words. Words are much more powerful than stones. The words travel faster and affect others permanently. I believe that is why technology is so very important in government today...and is so regulated for the 'simpleton'...There is so much power in it, the world almost is one...and there isn't need for many leaders one day. Whether we are believers in Christ or not...evidence shows this is happening before our eyes. Corrupt evil people are battling against Good Faithful People...and this is all over the world. This is chaos. There is a scripture that says, God is not the god of chaos or confusion. Jeremiah 29:11: God is not the author of confusion Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the L ord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a HOPE. So, I am not so worried about it anymore. But, we should still try to make others aware of the things that are happening. And I am so happy that you are doing that so very well. : ) Thank you Daniel. I always enjoy your writing blogs.

LMAO Teabaggers, & Closeminded Educated Laggers

Ja Love
Doesn't make sense does it ?? Homeless go without eating. Elderly go without needed medicines. Mentally ill go without treatment. Troops go without proper equipment. Veterans go without the benefits they were promised. Yet we donate billions to other countries before helping our own first. 1% will re-post and 99% wont Have... the guts to re-post this. I KNOW I'm in the 1%.

Andre Robert I think of that often. Especially when I know so many are hungry in this country and I hear the US just gave a couple of hundred million dollars to some country we don't even know to help the poor there. You never hear of them giving it to our people here. Only the churches and local organization do that. It's a repost for me. thanks.

Reasoning, Resolution, Retreating, and Rejuvination

"Its been awhile since we last talked but I have been following your post.. well as time permitted. : ) But I wanted to say I wish you the best of luck with your move. I know you have had a major struggles over the last year or so. It will get better... never give up. I hope you get settled back in and have a wonderful life for you and your daughter. From what I have read you are one strong woman that doesn't let life get in her way! Keep in touch and I wish you the best of luck. Take Care. : )" ~JS

So Sweet to read, from a childhood and lifelong, friend.

Many believe it was my choosing to leave, but that was not so. But to seek solace in a distressing time, from wherever I saw fit for our (my girl and I) life. Our needs were many, and God supplied them. Brought people into and out of our lives who were tremendously kind. Some were vulture's seeking us...and the ones who we called family were self absorbed.

I am keeping in my heart that there is good in some bad people, and bad in many good people. And that God uses it all to direct my paths. We are now complete in our peace of knowing..."it's not me. Never did I deserve what happened to me." But, honestly, all my life I had questions that hampered my progress in life. It is the truth that set me free this year. My family had been pushed, also...by my co workers and friends...to have resolution/closure. Never did I see my father, but I do know he loves me. My mother and sister never tried to resolve anything, but to hold fast to the lies of the past and keep digging them in deeper. My cousins rallied and informed me of many of the secrets, I had never known. But, the answers were so painful as to why we were all separated, and it wasn't me. Honestly, the truth made my father and even more awesome man. However, never should he have had to compromise his love, the bond, that we had...for my mother and sisters love. I move on and leave them with their hard work of keeping secrets/lies. I am moving on into my life of continued truth...even if it hurts me, or others.

I am who I am. I am totally, good. I love me, more, for keeping love in my heart, even while going through such a dark hell. I was tested!!! : )

It a time of rejuvenation! And a time of appreciation.
