The best thing about God’s infinite love for all his creation is HIS FAITH IN US. God gave us free will because HE TRUSTS US. Original sin is a handicap that permits the temptations that let Him down. Even then, God never gives up on us.

The other great thing about God’s love for us is His sense of humor. Often a practical joker, and these are tough on us humans. But always from His infinite love for us.

This morning, I adopted a third Basset Hound in need of a home. All three of my fur angels had to get new homes because their previous owners life circumstances changed. All three were loved and well cared for. For some reason, God has entrusted me to be the service human to these three pups.

Previously I was a neurological surgeon until my hands suffered career ending permanent nerve damage almost 9 years ago. That was the cosmic practical joke on me.

Earthly fears take a back seat to living for eternity. If we can drive the demons out of this mortal realm with our trust in God, then our life’s purpose is served.

Yes, the fear mongers are doing a good job keeping the masses in dire straits. Faith in God is the key to happiness and peace and you have laid out the plan nicely.

Hi Napoleon,

An insightful piece - well done ;))

Don't you think it's more a case of the emptiness within and the absence of meaning that drives people to be fascinated by the gory details - a chronic rubber-necking loop - to use a highway carnage metaphor.

This is why people love celebrity gossip and scandal - because the only time their vacuous lives mean something is when the richer, better looking, way more successful god of the screen is brought down to earth with a thump. Then the individual finally feels a sense of equality and their unbearable existence has some meaning.

It's a malevolent psychopathology.

A wholesale mental illness.

Not sure if prayer will help such individuals. And I'm not knocking prayer my brother.

In Judaism, there's a teaching that God helps those who help themselves - this comes out in the story of Purim.

A substantial part of society does not want to help itself anymore.

It wants rules, government handouts, freebies, endless direction.

Hard work is simply unbearable.

Struggle is for peasants.

Consuming horseshit online about other people's lives is the biz.

I'm all sympathied out for lazy moaning people.
