Just a lil random rant...

Hello friends, It has been a busy and cold day to say the least. So I am in high hopes to get this insurance crap situated soon so It stops slowing my schedule down and causing more stress than needed. Lately I have been doing a lot of self-reflecting, I have noticed how I haven't had a Miracle lately...call me crazy but they really do occur, small and large. I with my personal belief system give credit to my creator. However I respect YOU that have other belief systems. We are all still brothers and sisters on this earth. Now most if not all of this blog is directed to the fundamentalist Christians and Believers in Christ. I am pointing out how a GIGANTIC portion DO NOT believe in Miracles....to me miracles are normal and should be expected if one truly claims to be a christian according to the Holy bible...Im not here to bash whatsoever I wanna make that CLEAR friends. I usually don't blog about my faith but today I am pointing out something I have personally noticed through the years when I actually attended a church on a regular basis. I had noticed at many of the churches I had went to they almost all did not speak of MIRACLES, with me personally miracles from my creator is not unusual but feels normal. Anywhoot, so these local churches that I had visited mainly preached on two main things MONEY and SIN....now sin, yea that is ok sometime...we all need a good peptalk...but MONEY and when all the services at the churches seemed to be built on digging in the pockets and constantly pointing out personal flaws instead of building one up...This is when I realized I can worship and have time with my Father without going to some "Church Show" I call it that because that is what they all were just like a play you go watch except YOUR apart of it lol, NOW don't get me wrong there are A Lot of GOOD fruitful, spirit filled churches out there....just be careful of WHICH spirit that church may be operating under. I think an open mind is a must to receive miracles and an open heart, but I think it begins with an open MIND first.
Every Christian/Believer, is at some point affected by church traditions and cultures. Depending on denominational or church backgrounds, we will have different concepts of miracles. This Even goes for other religions that believes in miracles, you still need to have an OPEN mind about it. Many Fundamentalists and even some believers, do not all study the bible by ourselves. Most of the time, we depend upon our elders, bible teachers and "godly" leaders to show us what they THINK the bible says. We make the assumption that they are more knowledgeable than we are and so we simply trust what they have taught. This can be very dangerous in my opinion, Can be good and very fruitful the RIGHT WAY...the Fruits of the Spirit is the KEY to finding the right Spiritual Leader, I personally believe.

Many church traditions have their positive aspects but some of these are producing negative and damaging results. Therefore, it is not whether my church tradition/belief system is better than yours or vice versa. The key is to find out which aspects of  traditions are in line with what the word says about Miracles as well as knowing in your spirit what is right. It is dangerous to simply take things for granted. Man is not perfect.

                                                     Well my friends thanks for stopping by and reading my little rant lol, feel free to follow, share, comment, or just enjoy and of course excuse any and all grammar and spelling mistakes LOL.

                                                Truly, Dennis

People Ramble & such ;-)

             I am quite the "people watcher"...lol...yes maybe even a bit nosey. I have been this way my entire life, always observing people like a zoologist observing some rare species of an animal. My point in case, is Over the past 5 years at least, I have seen such a NEGATIVE shift in people in general. People don't seem to care for each other as much or at all anymore. There is hardly any Love, Care, Compassion, Community, Openness, and just being all around decent and kind to your neighbor so to speak. This is a sad and bad thing....its no wonder the world  is in such chaos. No one seems to CARE....personally thats what I see and feel. But the good side is that there are still some folks out in this world that do still CARE and try to have community with each other, if you come in contact with good caring folks like that...my advice is to appreciate them because they are far and few. Nevertheless, moving on to other things..:-)
      I have been doing Yoga sessions a few times weekly now for at least a month, this was a suggestion from my neurologist to help with Fibromyalgia. I was very skeptical at first, but I must say I do notice a difference with my body and mind. Some folks have mistakenly thought I was doing some sort of "religious yoga" LOL! That is not the case, a person can benefit from the actual exercises and meditation of yoga without being some guru. I also believe you can not put limits on GOD as Most fundamentalist christians and catholics do. He is so powerful and all knowing....just look at the trees for example...what an awesome living thing...and its just a tree(hope i'm making sense lol) My point is Us, that believe in Christ should NOT put him in a box and think even for a moment that there isn't so much more to this life and world than meets the eye. Think about it...FAITH is the substance we don't see with the naked eye. Anywhooo enough with that ramble for now but I do intend to do a blog on the topic of Fundamentalists and how they push people away from GOD instead of bringing them into the kingdom like we are supposed to do. In conclusion of this all over the place blog lol, last week I found hundreds of pages of my poems, writings, and such from through out the years...so today I am going to share one....after you read it you may think i am even more nuts LOL!
                                                 "Flame"  from2008
As I gaze into the flame of the candle, my thoughts prance around as if they have minds of their own...parading and dancing to the song of my misery while i feel like history...the heart beats, the pulse is there, the warmth of my skin is still here...yet coldness inside, no place to hide. Scattering around like the sounds of breaking glass.....I bought a ticket to the nowhere train, one way with no stop in sight, only open track. Candle light giving it's glimmer brings the memory of being a child....the innocence, the wonder,...the magic and mystery that came with each day....my ticket is an endless clock, that never stops. As the flame dims down to darkness, the coldness creeps back to play the game. Where there is no shame..but just a flame. ---D.kelly
