A Pioneer's hopes

  PAGA- Pray America Great Again. The great essential task of believers in Jesus Christ is to pray 🙏. It's not to get into useless arguments with those who can't or refuse to hear. We spread the message with hope not judgement. We warn but we cannot tell them what to do. And the great example of Christ is the daily living-love one another,feed the poor,help the helpless. Serve as the Son of Man served. For America to be great it starts with faith,it starts with prayer. Then GOD BLESS AMERICA! It's not just building bridges or roads. It's rebuilding lives and souls. Freedom not only comes thru sacrifice,it comes thru daily service. For without faith the work if the builders is useless. Pray not just to make America great but make it great service for another and for Christ. Shining our lights before men makes the city upon a hill.Children of God as we are more than just a nation. With God's Spirit we can move mountains and bear fruit. For Christ as our vine can Amer...

  I started reading newspapers after I discovered John F. Kennedy in High School. At that time I learned as he did that newspapers were information. And although he read more and enjoyed it less sometimes it was because what they written of his administration but I've become less enjoyment of them because of some columnists and they're hate especially of current administration. While I don't expect every President and his administration to be approved by every American. But what I expect is fair judgement of their critic as well as praise. And to be fair from me to them as well in my judgement. But the media is biased today. Some say they are fake news and enemies of the people. They can be both but in my judgement I can't go farther than bias. We still need them. But we need them for the truth not their hate,not their political attacks. We need journalists that looks out for the people and the country. Not a political party. Newspapers are to me better than the interne...

  "Fondly do we hope-fervently do we pray-that this mighty scourage of war may speedily pass away.Yet,if God wills that it continue...until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn of the sword...so still it must be said,,"The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." "With malice towards none with charity for all,with firmness in the right,as God gives us to see the right,let us strive on to finish the work we are in,to bind up the nations wounds,to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphans-to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."                                                                 President Abraham Lincoln-2nd inauguration-March         ...

  "If we fail to dare,if we do not try,the next generation will harvest the fruit of our indifference;a world we did not want,a world we did not choose,but a world we could have made better by caring more for the results of our labors.And we shall be left only with the hollow apology of T.S.Eliot,"That is not what I meant at all.That is not it at all."" -Robert F.Kennedy. It seemed to me at the end of the 60s we quit daring as much as we did in the early 60s.And since then the world's changed and not for the good.It is why even though so many oppose him but President Trump in my opinion is trying to get us to dare again.Not by daring more to hate which some are doing,but dare to get past our differences and while I say he's trying he's also at times can be his own worst enemy.Because words matter and how we use them matters. By making America great to me is by first getting America to be good again.We can harvest more with good fruit than bad fruit.We ca...

 ABRAHAM LINCOLN used to say,"Whatever you are be a good one."And whatever that is for us we must have passion in it otherwise it's a waste if there's no effort in it. I HAVE PASSION as a writer and while I love writing my ambition to publish is not there and part of the reason is seeing the world what its becoming.My excuse is why bother if they won't listen and just criticize?All everyone does is attack each other,but this is also an excuse not to ride my passion in writing.I've had publishers contact me in the past but never did anything about it.The other part was money.I didn't have money to put towards their publishing to help print it. BUT WE HAVE TO TRY even if its starting out small.And those who have decency and hope would make an effort too.Because the world needs good writers not just about stories but also truth.Learning history as it was and not what the revisionists tell you to make themselves feel better.But this blog here is to help my wri...

  JOHN Imagine you weren't real just a cloud of imagination. The Beatles were just a dream. You're peace messages just a week old story. Imagine a Strawberry Field forever. Or your Ballad with Yoko that never was. But I can't imagine that. I Imagine a peace in the world 🌎 where we sit and sing "Merry Christmas War is Over." Where people of all generations sit in a place where they give peace a chance. Singing no fighting. Jamming with Elvis and all the ones we loved. Hand in hand ✋️ in peace ✌️.  I can imagine that,John. But as we remember the music you gave,the songs you sang. I can sadly hear the shots that rang out December 8,1980 that touched you and changed our lives here on earth 🌎.  But despite that I can imagine a great place filled with Instant Karma where there's a star that's held in one place  that has your name,'John'. And I can hear it sing "Dear Yoko". "Watching the Wheels" and shouting still to the world "...
