Our Country Was Built On….Grit, Hard Work, Face to Face and Ear to Ear…

Person to Person….In person or on the phone….real voices….

Virtually….NOT Virtual.  Literal.

Our Country was not built on Twitter

Our Country was not built on Facebook

Or any other Social Media…

Our Country was NOT built on or with the Internet…

Our Country Was Built On….Grit, Hard Work, Face to Face and Ear to Ear…

Real Interactions…Real Voices…Real faces…

The 3 R’s  :-))!

IT can still be built further using the very exact same techniques….

Without Social Media….Without Twitter, Facebook or any of the others…

What is the difference…..?

You simply may not become a Billionaire overnight is all…

What did Twitter, Facebook and all Social Media build on….?

GREED!

After all…seriously….How much do we all really need?

Our Country got to where it is by hard work….People didn’t seem to do to badly without the internet….

3M sure didn’t….Est. 1902 in Two harbors, MN. (My Mothers hometown!)

Westinghouse sure Didn’t…Est. 1886

HoneyWell sure didn’t….Est. 1885, Technically 1927

Johnson & Johnson sure didn’t….Est. 1886

Boeing sure didn’t….Est. 1916/1917

Whirlpool sure didn’t….Est. 1911

Ma Bell sure didn’t….Est. 1877

General Electric sure didn’t….Est. 1878

The Salvation Army sure didn’t…Est. 1852

The Goodwill sure didn’t…Est. 1902

The American Red Cross sure didn’t… Est. 1881

The American Heart Association sure didn’t…Est. 1915 initially, 1924 formally

We can still build….We can still flourish…We can still thrive…

Without Social Media….Without the Internet…

It’s called….People….Real Connections with Real People…

Person to Person….In person or on the phone….Real voices….Real Faces…

This will be my/STA’s last blog that will post to Twitter…or any other Social media

We have been off Facebook for quite a long time now already…

We will remain on the internet….as a connection to others….

We will focus on Person to Person, Real Voices, Real Connections…Real Time

Real Time….Real Voices….Real People….Real faces….

Real Literal…Real Direct…

Real Time

The Way GOD & His Family intended it…the Way GOD & His Family designed it

Disasters…What Do We learn…? Do We Learn?

Yes, What Do We learn from Disasters?

For sure we know a large number of homeless will be added to the numbers

There will be devastation…loss…grief…frustration…hunger…reflection

What else do we learn…?   Or, Do we ever even learn….??

Think beyond the destruction, the loss…..is there a message somewhere?

Think about Jesus and His Father God and their teachings, their demands…

What do you notice about disasters?

You see loss of life…

Who is Lost and Who is Left Behind?

As in the recent and very sad destruction in Oklahoma, you see a great deal of destruction of material things, every material thing….

You see people left standing….with nothing but themselves

Figuratively speaking….Naked so to speak…sometimes literally…

Left with nothing…..EXCEPT Jesus and His Father to rely on…to lean on…

To cry to…to yell at….to beg for mercy….

To pray to….to talk to….

To beg for mercy….

Exactly the way GOD Almighty intended it to be…Designed it to be…

I believe these disasters are a reminder for us to LOOK UP!

To be Awake!

Material things are nothing….Nothing.…

Strip them all away with a Tornado, Earthquake, Tsunami or Hurricane…

And all we are left with is each other….or possibly just ourselves….

AND

Jesus Christ and His Father God

Disasters….a Reminder to focus on Them…

Will We??

Or will we focus on our selfish needs and desires even more???

And So it Goes…..Like so many other times….So many other days…

As i was walking our dog early this morning at one of his favorite parks…

We came upon a group of Homeless folks who obviously spend their nights in the park…

This is the third time we have seen and spoke to them….

Not a lot of dialogue…..But always a Hello or a Good morning from them….

The female is always up and the one to talk….the men asleep… but peek a little…

They never ask for anything….

Jesus says:  ”Give to Everyone that ask”

So what is the next move?  Keep walking on and forget?

Go about your day and leave it be?  Never to look back?

I mean after all…Jesus says….”Give to Everyone that ask”

They do not ask for anything….

Am i good to go?  Am i done?
