I was reading some online forums about the three men who died this past January in Kansas City, MO of an apparent drug overdose. Many of the comments are from people who say "make sure to get your recreational drugs tested for Fentanyl before you use them or have Narcan on hand in case you overdose."
Huh?
This is where we are at now?
No more "just say NO to drugs" now we are are "just say YES to drugs, as long as you get them tested for so-called safety."
The three men who died in Kansas City were in their late 30's. They were old enough to know better. Taking large amounts of recreational and prescription drugs is NOT partying and having fun. Most drugs, always cause chaos, violence, depressive thoughts. Taking large amount of drugs is NOT fun and not living. Drug taking is an example of "hateth" one's life. The life God gave to each of us.
It is hard not to hate one's life when bad things happen, or you don't get what you want, or you are in physical/mental pain, I truly understand that. It is even harder to consciously not "hateth" one's life while going through decades of pain. The only answer I can think of is to lean on God. Have faith in God. Faith is the answer, it always has been. Jesus continually spoke of faith. Unfortunately faith is almost impossible to understand for humans. This is what makes life hard. That and living amongst humans and the constant daily evil oppressions sent our way.

That is what happens when the world's god is the medical industrial complex. The MIC is what is worshipped. The MIC will give you eternal life. The MIC will pretend to make you loveth your life. The wages of MIC is safety, that leads to death (but we conveniently leave off that last part).
I'm sorry Lee. As I get older, I see what life should be and what it isn't. I've lived most of my life through the "isn't" lens. Now I just want to salvage what is left, and as you say, appreciate the gift of life as best I can.
I am so sorry Lee. A couple of days ago I learned a friend of mine (online friend for the past 15 years) had died. I learned of his death because the Christmas card I sent him was returned to me with "deceased" written on the outside of the envelope. He was 69 years old. Never married, no kids. Last I knew, he was fighting with his brother, because he was living in the family home and his brother wanted the home sold because he needed money.
All so weird. Wouldn't surprise me if his death was suspicious. No one cares anymore about what someone dies of. Just water under the bridge. All forgotten. Probably lots of murders happening right under our noses and most people are OK with it. So sad.
I believe God gave us life to live. Life is hard most of the time. I lean on God everyday for everything. I can't imagine living life without faith in God's help. It is not all about us, it is about us and God.
I need a hug, you need hugs. get in your car and drive over here and lets hug.
then I can invite you into my house and we will get some paper and colorful markers and make
a list of all of the things that we hateth. Then we will share and laugh
I bet my list is longer than yours, but really, that does not matter.
Kind of like "downsizing" the "big house over here" We have to look at this list and really let the worst float to the top so we can scoop them out with a fishing net and examine them and then
vigorously toss them over a small cliff or just the small cliff across the street that has forest below.
I can not do that with downsizing though. Boy that is hard. What do I do with mom and dad's stuff?
Then we can toast marshmallows and and do puzzles.
Dear Rosemary - you are so right! A plus if we can make the colorful markers the ones that you could sniff, like in grade school. Your comment is like a flowing poem, but with laughter and wisdom. Hugs are where it's at. More important than anything else humans do. What do do with mom and dad's stuff? It took me two days just to go through my mom's dresser. Life hits you right in the heart when trying to downsize a loved one's whole life. I send good vibes your way and virtual hugs!
Thank you for sharing your prayerful thoughts and insites about earth life. I too have been struggling with the whys and what the heck am I doing here and what is the purpose of all this evilness we have to navigate through. I am prone to depression so I know wallowing in it is futile. Usually going outdoors helps but this time of year is full of ice and snow. I am greatful for my blessings and so I will try to concentrate on them and eliminate the negative feelings with prayer and supplication for an attitude of gratitude.
Thank you for continuing to read Charlotte. Depression is an awful thing and I know exactly what you mean. This time of year is such a hard one to get through. March has always been my worst month to endure. You are right - time to count the blessings and realize God has this covered. I will pray God gives us both insight into what it's all about at times when we're struggling!

I recently lost someone that I love dearly. Makes me appreciate the gift of life even more.

Yes, and if we didn't have struggles we wouldn't be leaning toward God as we are so prone to pride.
