The usage of words in the 21st century ... not letting truth be the final judge, but allowing our limitations and our generational curse help with these daffynitions.

I don't believe in these daffynitions ... they are what observations have crafted for me to observe and comment on. The element of Daffy the Duck I hope clarifies the absurdity of what is being shared here. We don't live in Disneyland, after all. This points out the irony of lives being shared with one another. I hope it benefits you! It was, and is, cathartic to share.

Daffynitions: Letting today's revisions of life control your thoughts. God doesn't matter, unless convenient for us.

Truth: What is convenient for people to believe to move forward in their daily rituals. ESPN, CNN, FOX ... it doesn't matter where we get our trash!

Faith: What we believe to be true, because it is either convenient or settles a problem issue we no longer want to deal with, and can now discard. Belief is so 1900's.

Confidence: What we want to let our training dictate, instead of letting us find the truth outside of what we were brought up with ... God, after all, is not in control, we are!

Hope: Boy, she had great legs ... she was a gymnast/volleyball player/model, after all!!!

Government: Depending on who is in control, it means Satan is in control or it is my justification to be what I am today. Just look at Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Obama ...

Joy: Internal workings of news that brings satisfaction without fulfillment ... but that is being so cynical!

Seeker: One who desires truth (not necessarily the accurate one) just the most relevant one at this time and training ... that is what we were given today! Ask our parents (no, the government took that away from us), our teachers, our leaders!!!

Confidence: What we are taught is actually the truth (sans the truth); that's what we believe. I have to fight to the death to promote this fallacy!

Relief: Knowing we don't have to care about those losers ... does God really think I'm suppose to love my neighbors when they don't have a clue? It will cost me a mint!!!

I look to see the best of what people have to offer, but the "rantings and ravings," plus my own shortcomings, demand I share an honest assessment of what is occurring in life today. When we delude ourselves that we are doing "good," we must hold ourselves to a higher standard. Our we citizens? Do we have the USA's, or more importantly God's, interests at heart?

Let those with eyes to see and ears to hear take heed!

You are crafted as beautiful, powerful children of God ... make the best out of it today!!!

Killing us softly with this song ... with apologies to Roberta Flack and Lauryn Hill

I heard we sang a good song ...

Mysteries of past and present keep confusion as our hand maiden.

Eat drink and be merry ... or, is it buried? The slogan has been, "Just say NO; don't do drugs." Yet, as evidenced by the obesity of our country and the number of emergency room visits to the hospital for gastro-intestinal problems, food makers (both corporate and personal) continue to pour white sugar and white flour into our foods, our stomachs ... hmm, with all the fiber being removed from our food, what is left of the sugar and flour basically acts as harmful as drugs to our systems. The ability to transform the nutrients is removed ... so we eat food that is going to stay in our bodies, transforming into fat and disease. We are eating for pleasure, not for nutrition.

Killing us softly with this song, letting our whole lives get wasted ...

A high school student found her disease (Crohn's) that numerous health care practitioners missed (8 years) ... yet, a national public health care program is being clamored for by most! Is our society dysfunctional, at best?

Telling my whole life with empty words ...

What am I missing? There is so much beauty in life. There is so much to see and do. There is also so much information being left on the table. I don't agree with government being the best governance of morality; yet, attacks on people who point out the wrongs on both sides are chastised for being condescending (see Charles Krauthammer, Washington Post on President Obama, 6/12/2009) and fosters vitriol and blindness to people who, as citizens, don't take the time to fulfill their civic or spiritual responsibilities. We are too busy, we have to make a living, we are to angry ...

I heard he had a style ...

This is what we leave our children, and their children?

Hermeneutics of our current state of events leaves beauty and truth at the doorstep, not invited in. If it goes against our training, we discard the information as meaningless, or irrelevant. Our mistakes will be visited upon the rest of our lives, as well as our children's lives, and their children's lives. Letting beauty reign in the soul has produced some of the most powerful truths and actions in history. Love of faith, of fellow man, of spouse, of children ... governments, medicine, science, art have all gained powerful successes when truth and beauty are at the core of how we choose to look at life. If we fail, as citizens, to recognize this ...

Killing me softly with this song ... wasting my whole life with these words ... killing us softly with this song ...

We believe, as children, wholeheartedly because we don't know any better. Our trust is a mile high ... we are getting our needs met, and we trust!!!

Disappointment is one of the true spoilers of life; it makes us bitter and disillusioned, and it mars the view that we should have for living! That is why it says believe in the kingdom of God, we should believe as children; we need to be wholehearted in our belief! Just like a 6 month old knowing it's going to be fed ... a 1 year old knowing it's going to stay safe.

When we allow our disapointment/injustices mar our view, we let our child-like belief dissipate! We become hurtful because we are hurt. We stop believing that everything is going to be all right because we have a loving Father.

Remember, He sends His angels to watch over you ... He loves us all, and our child-like nature is what we are going to rely on! The faith demanded by our Father is for us to trust Him, not ourselves. Am I trusting in Him or myself ... what a tough question if I am guarding against my disillusions and pain. Truth is what He wants, as well as our child-like faith.
