Psalm 27:13 (NIV) I am still
confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the
living.
Writing for myself…
These days I’m writing for myself. If by chance you pass on
by, lucky you but I’m no longer promoting my blog on facebook, so if I’m not
one of your bookmarks, you more than likely miss what I’m writing. I might on
occasions share a poem on facebook or maybe my quotations but no, facebook
isn’t working out for me these days. Maybe with the New Year as I take hold of
doing new things, new classes, writing, remaining sane in an insane world, I
will write to inspire.
I’m distancing myself from all things that bring a negative
energy into my life. While facebook is okay, there is a negativity that cannot
be cleansed simply by bathing. I visit, click a few likes, thank the two people
who still remember me and sometimes think of me, then I’m on my way with the
busyness of my day.
Here lately my household has been taken over by what I feel
is dark negative force. So eliminating facebook and all its false images and
negativity has driven me to take a deeper look at my surroundings physically. I
see a collapse in view. Crumbling of walls where only rubble is left to pick
through and I feel a pain in knowing this and the inability to stop the
movement that has begun.
My son loves The Walking Dead and now Steven has found it on
a site where he can watch TV shows with listings from A-Z. I understand that
people are fascinated with Zombie’s and wanting to watch people eat people but
where do you draw the line? Steven’s list started with the innocent watching of
Gotham then Agents of Shield but now includes Fringe, Falling Skies, Walking
Dead, Sleepy Hollow and Hemlock Grove, which he lost interest in, I think.
Hemlock Grove looks like a soft-porn show with demons, vampires, lesbians and
nudity on Netflix, but I could be wrong about the soft-porn. (Too judgmental?)
Sometimes I do judge a show too harshly but it is only by MY moral standards,
apparently.
People crave these dark shows because just as when they
sought God and the Light, they feel they are protected in some way and can walk
with the dark being for a bit uninfected. How wrong is THAT assumption? Yes,
it’s just TV shows but again, where do you draw the line in what you allow to seep
into your conscious? How can the dark shadows be in your outer conscious
awakening, without leaking in bits and pieces to your sub-conscious to your
very consciousness of being?
What comes over people to make them take steps toward the
evil calling them? Well I just answered my own question. Evil comes over
people. Satan licks his finger and touches a person and you can hear him
joyfully boasting, “Tssssssss, gotcha.”
What starts out as innocently watching a few dark shows,
grabs a hold of you and pulls you in a direction you no longer have control of.
You can pretend to have control but darkness is nothing to control, it is
something to push away, something to obliterate from your life.
From the very first man, a woman smote Adam, and they began
their lust-filled adventure, one that we as humans cannot get control of in
this lifetime. We can pretend, we can ask forgiveness and be forgiven a
thousand million times, so we feel the sin is worth it because hey, we’ll be
forgiven.
I understand it is our human nature to sin. It is impossible
to live a sinless life but we can strive to be better humans and walk with the
Lord, who IS sinless, and maybe just maybe His traits will rub off on you.
