sacrifice: GOOD ACTIVERAIN REAL ESTATE STORY
- 06/20/22 11:54 AM
Just recently, I was contacted via Active rain by someone who wanted me to sell their home. It came across as spam for this one reason. The email was signed "Popeye". It also gave a phone number and of course their email address. What did I do? Dismissed the whole thing via deleting and moved on. BUT WAIT, there is more
THAT NAGGING FEELING
A day or two later, this revisiting of what took place and what I did kept coming back to me until I finally honored it and decided to do a little investigating. I googled the email and phone and … (29 comments)

sacrifice: LEND ME YOUR LIFE
- 07/04/21 09:10 AM
In the everyday parlance the title of the posting is called and referred to as HELP as in would you and can you consider helping me? Who got to where they are without the help of another? You didn't create nor did you birth yourself. Start with this premise and the subject matter has no end to it!
WHY LEND SOMEONE YOUR LIFE?
You can rightfully believe that "they" or others... want and need assistance from you but in most cases won't say it. Do we really want people to beg, plead and give away their sense of worth over a helping hand? … (18 comments)

sacrifice: GIVING UP? (food for the soul)
- 12/26/18 07:50 AM
Giving up? What a defeatist word. You surrender? To what? Whom? Why? To reach the point in your life or in any moment where you let this into your psyche and then act on it by agreeing to it is about as close to a near death experience one can have while still alive and not be in a coma. Long before you surrender, the forces wanting you to were/are at work. But you see, I know why those forces exist
USE EVIL FOR GOOD
They are only there to provide a contrast. They also are put there to allow us to use them … (4 comments)

sacrifice: WHY "MERRY CHRISTMAS" (spiritual theme)
- 12/09/18 07:10 AM
Has it dawned on you why we say "merry Christmas" or are you just repeating what words work this time of year without having to know why. You see the premise is very simple. You are going to go through CHRISTMAS whether you like it or not, love it or plain just don't care. However, wishing one a type of quality of journey is worth looking into
HAPPY CHRISTMAS ?
It was originally called HAPPY CHRISTMAS until someone took a risk and changed it to merry and it caught on. Why did it get accepted? Well the King of England often set the standard … (26 comments)

sacrifice: THE FLAG SPEAKS IF YOU LISTEN
- 07/04/18 03:48 PM
Take a moment to really notice our flag. Pause long enough to reflect. Millions of others over the decades have done so too. It becomes very personal. Ponder and wonder between sips of your tasty drink, in your chosen place and while you chew a tasty morsel or you just gaze out without a care in the very moment you are in at how all this that you see and hear came to be. It is no accident..... to be sure
It is truly magnificent. Treat it, and each other with the respect it so richly deserves
THE FLAG BINDS US

sacrifice: IT'S YOUR TURN (life pondering)
- 11/16/16 04:47 AM
Remember when you stood in a line for something and how you wanted to get to that point of having your turn for whatever is being offered or the reason why you stood or got in the line to begin with? The thought process was simple. You wanted something and you went to go get it. Whatever was involved in the getting of it satisfied making it worth it
NO WAITING IN LINE FOR THIS
Life! It was and is a gift of the highest nature coveted by all who are alive and have it. Furthermore, it is given before it is asked … (6 comments)

sacrifice: WHY AMERICANS REMEMBER
- 07/04/15 11:46 PM
What we have, what we live and share everyday despite all the imperfections was so hard fought for. Remember, we were just groups of miscellaneous people who had in common being neighborly and friendly while at liberty practicing a freedom to come and go at will. These people, at some point, were told NO, you cannot do that?
WHAT?
Person by person didn't like it. Within everyone is the natural inclination to be free and to practice that freedom everywhere using their capacity to do so. A flower, when blooming, comes out using the rain, sun, wind and elements to come into its fullness. It is the … (5 comments)

sacrifice: THE PRICE PAID WAS HIGH
- 05/18/15 06:16 AM
We are so good and quick to assign a value to things. Putting a price on something helps one to enter into a value system where one can relate and do personal math and learn to appreciate something subjectively. Well how do you put a price on those that have given literally their all namely their life?
GAVE ALL
I am speaking about the men and women who sacrifice all in the moment required so that the concept, dream and reality of what we call the United States of America would live on. We don't need to know the specific details because the results speak louder than anything … (2 comments)

sacrifice: WOULD CHRIST HAVE DIED TO SAVE JUST ONE?
- 07/20/14 03:47 AM
Well if you read about the Good Shepherd who left the flock to go search for the one sheep who went astray so that the lost sheep can then be found, then the answer sort of leaps out of you. For those that can hear, they have no trouble hearing the master's voice and he hears them too. How beautiful is the ministry of Jesus Christ. Its depth cannot be measured
IT IS FINISHED YOU CAN STAY BUT EVIL HAS TO GO
Not a religious book but more of an explanation and summary of the work that Christ accomplished as it pertains to us … (2 comments)

sacrifice: THE DAY AFTER JULY 4TH THE WORD SPREAD QUICKLY
- 06/30/14 06:40 AM
It was official. The colonies had declared that they will not stand alone now or ever again. Give me my freedom, my sweat that comes from my brow and efforts or suffer by my own hand for the day has come where the cry of men joined into one big chorus of unity. Give us our FREEDOM!
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
It was official and now to spread the word across the colonies as quickly as they could because the talking and negotiating to have peace by agreement was over. It was refused and that meant it was time to stand for what men and … (4 comments)

sacrifice: AMERICA WONT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
- 05/26/14 12:00 AM
Long before this country took form and opened up her heart to hundreds of millions of people that call America home, she was a thought, an expression and a dream in the hearts of many in search of its own legs. Like minded people all got together and started something that hasn't stopped to this day... America speaking up
BACK IT UP
What makes it all great is how much opposition there was coming against what we take for granted today back then at its inception. To even talk about freedom and rights in the beginning was like asking for a death sentence. Those that … (12 comments)

sacrifice: YOU CAN COUNT ON ME TOO
- 05/24/14 03:29 AM
You went first. You did your job and then some. I remember you daily when I walk or drive around. I know that all we have and enjoy is because when it came time to make sure it holds when challenged, you stepped up and because of your sacrifice, I am living a decent life
I WILL TOO
Should I have to stand one day for another like you did, I will. Until then, If I see someone who needs a leg-up or a rescue or even a helping hand, I will perform at that time according to my capabilities and circumstances. I want to do my … (7 comments)

sacrifice: "THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO" DOES IT APPLY TO YOU?
- 10/11/13 05:21 AM
A dying mans last words which we all know are potent and precious. Then, FORGIVE THEM is added and we now have something that should haunt every human being that has lived, lives now or will ever live until the mystery is solved up front, close and personal for each. What is it that we do that is so offensive that it requires mention and then forgiveness?
NOT RELIGIOUS BUT SPIRITUAL IN NATURE
The PEARLS SERIES of books finds this statement of interest... great interest and has written books on subject. Just exploring it from a dying mans point of view, it remains worthy … (0 comments)

sacrifice: PEARLS SERIES AUTHOR NAGGAR VIDEO DEVIL CANNOT HIDE IN THE DETAILS NO
- 06/20/13 05:28 AM
Author Richard Alan Naggar has taken the time to expose evil in detail so that the Devil cannot hide in the details any longer. Dark forces are on the run ever since they underestimated the death of a man who never fought back but played by all the rules. SATAN PRINCE and PRISONER OF THIS WORLD..NO PEARLY GATES FOR YOU glorifies and edifies the Lord God while exposing the world, the flesh and the Kingdom of Hell

sacrifice: LAND OF OPPORTUNITY IS NO MYTH
- 06/10/13 07:34 AM
America... wow what a beautiful word that also conjures up feelings, thoughts and dreams. A-ME-RI-CA...say it slowly and let it roll around and then release it because that little word represents a life style that is the envy and example of all mankind here on earth. America is not perfect because people are not but at least it is a place where one can explore themselves and the ponderings of life with adventure liberally using freedom to do so
WHAT PRICE FREEDOM?
Freedom is taken for granted because no one interferes with it unless it is to punish you. Yes we … (4 comments)

sacrifice: AMERICA DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN ALONG
- 05/26/13 01:48 AM
People died to bring about the idea of a place where freedom rings true throughout the day and night anywhere in the good ole U.S.A. Some were called upon to answer the call to defend this living belief and they did. Many came back to see the results of this fantastic idea called liberty and justice for all and some never made it back. To those that gave all they had...I remain aware of who you are and what you contributed
WE ARE THE SAME
I know you because I know me and we are the same. We love, live and … (15 comments)

sacrifice: WITH BEANS and RICE YOU CAN RULE YOUR WORLD
- 05/15/13 02:54 AM
When I first got married, we were poor, but in love. As the months went by and I tried to get a break, my wife used to tell me that as long as we had each other, she would be happy living under a tree. This statement empowered me to not strive, stress or become ruthless to get ahead. At the same time, it motivated me to provide a nest for her and I......I went about making a living....just working hard that's all

sacrifice: UNITED STATES ELITE MILITARY TRAINING
- 03/18/13 05:40 AM
The Military ELITE forces a terminator like mentality where once the mission is identified and they are activated, they live for nothing else except to hear the words: mission accomplished. They can be killed, but before they go, many will die and one more thing....the only way to stop them is to kill them, but then another takes their place

sacrifice: SOME GAVE ALL THEY HAD TO PROVE OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE
- 11/11/12 11:03 PM
What happens after a person gives all they have for their country in the form of military service? The ones that had to go "all in" do not know what followed after that, but we do. You see it is up to us to finish that act and to remember it. One persons sacrifice is anothers gain and on Veterans day it behooves us to spend a moment realizing what it cost to have a United States of America
THE PRICE IS NOT AFFORDABLE
You cannot buy this privilege. It is hard fought and won and then for those that carry … (7 comments)

sacrifice: OH SAY CAN YOU SEE VETERANS DAY
- 11/10/12 10:33 PM
We forget that we are able to not only come and go at will all over our areas where we live, but also cross into other cities, counties and states as well. In addition, we can cross into Canada or Mexico and beyond too. This just didn't happen. A group of people got together and said it MUST happen because there is no other way to live our inner mantra...the one within our hearts
LIFE...LIBERTY...and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
America speaks very plain on this subject matter. We make the point using peoples lives. The message we send around the world is … (7 comments)
