Jimmy Carter on Religion and WOMEN

Blessed are the children….

VIVA, you continue to amaze with your uniqueness, talent, and wisdom. I love all of your art; it shows how you put your heart and soul into each image. This particular quote is my favorite, and had no idea, if it were not for you that Jimmy Carter (who I very much admire) stated this.

like and favorite.

Thank you, Alegre. Much love and respect for you, kind Sir. And, thank You::::I always learn from you, to my eternal benefit, :)))VIVA

Bueno!! Much love and respect for you. And I learned something from this exchange. 😇

Things exist - and continue to exist - in this world because they are filling a need. Obviously, there are still people that need to learn something from this situation. Speaking for me, I have no idea who, why, when, where, or what people should experience. That's their learning path, and way above my pay grade!!! I'm not going to judge or be critical of their choices, but at the same time, that doesn't mean that I have to participate in the situation. :))

Yes, ALEGRE....." Patience and understanding - compassion for all." , you are a peacemaker, Forrest, and, insightful to the highest, and I honour your thoughts, visit, ray of hope...but !..I am not sure about patience/understanding being strong enough to affect CHANGE, though i know your faith, I am impatient...for the 'choices' to change away from RITUAL.....:)))VIVA

VIVA ... My experience is that nothing changes unless there is a reason - to gain a reward or to avoid punishment. As long as the congregation keeps showing up every Sunday morning and dropping the envelope into the basket with a smile and a "Wonderful sermon today, pastor," why should he change anything? It's a symbiotic relationship. The pastor is offering a product and he has a church full of people every Sunday morning that want to buy it. When the consciousness grows, people will naturally change their beliefs, perceptions, and judgments - then their actions - to be more in line with Natural Laws, full of Divine Values. It is a process. Nothing is broken or wrong, good or bad, better or worse. We are all on this journey together, experiencing, learning, and growing. Patience and understanding - compassion for all.

LEST WE FORGET THE COWESSESS CHILDREN, LOST TO ETERNITY 1867. RIP..........BLESSED ARE THE CHILDREN.

LEST WE FORGET .............................................

Lest we forget: the Marieval Indian Residental School , the children of the Cowessess Nation, Canada!!, buried, lost to eternity by decree of the Church in Rome, 1867.. The world must mourn. 26/06/21 !! RIP. Blessed are the children.
