Prophetic Word

   As a believer, I’m into prophetic messages because I want to know what’s next. In my view, this message is a sign of what’s to come. Folks talk about being woke, well…this is it.

Animal Cruelty (Pt. 1)

 

Cruelty to pets is an epidemic in society. I read too many stories of dogs being neglected & surrendered for stupid reasons, and it pisses me off because the dogs can't speak for themselves. They rely on decent humans to care for them, and they give loyalty & unconditional love in return. I have two dogs (one of which is my niece's, but I care for him like he's my own), and I can't imagine neglecting them for any reason, let alone surrender either of them. They've had my back through it all, and I intend to match that loyalty (which I do; they know it). I pray for stiffer penalties for animal abusers because they need to be held accountable for their heinous act. Studies show if you mistreat a pet, you'll mistreat a human, and I'm proven right every time. I despise people who are cruel to animals. How tough does one feel by mistreating an animal? Seriously. If I had the power, animal cruelty would be a felony punishable by jail time. Depending on the severity of the cruelty...death penalty. Some of the animal cruelty stories I read are so heinous that the scumbags can't be rehabilitated, so they need to be done away with. Ever since I've had my dog, I make it a point to fight for pets because they can't fight for themselves. 

I mentioned this on FB, but I'll repeat it: If I was rich, I would build a 24-hour animal shelter for strays and surrendered pets. My shelter would be high-end with a generous play area for the dogs & cats, as well as vet staff on hand 24-7 (in shifts) to give the pets proper care. A buffet area with the best, most tasty dog food for the dogs to eat when they get hungry. None of the pets in my care would be adoptable because people are fickle pet owners: Very few people will care for their pets to the end, and I can't risk adopting one of my pets to the wrong people. Each kennel would have a comfortable bed for the animals.

Today's Thought: Take Everything Personal

I get where she's coming from, but I'm too old to be taking stuff personal. Friends don't celebrate my birthday? Fine, I don't celebrate theirs so it evens out. Family members invite certain family members to gatherings except me? That's fine too, because I wasn't going anyway so they did me a favor. I'm too wrapped up in my affairs to care about not being invited to a gathering. The older I get, the more lowkey I desire to live my life because it's too much foolishness going on to have my name out there. 

Question Of The Day: Why Is It Taboo To Admit Indifference or Hatred For Your Job?

 

The only answer I can come up with is that there are unemployed folks who wish they had your job, so that's why it's considered taboo to say you are indifferent or hate your job. Some people have legit reasons for being indifferent or hating their job: Coworkers, management, etc. Even then, go to work, do your job & go home. The dislike comes from some people kiking with their colleagues, and the moment a colleague gets a raise or promotion, shade is thrown. The shade can become so toxic that it's felt in the atmosphere. In the social media age, colleagues have gotten fired for airing their grievances on social media; that's another reason it's taboo to admit hate or indifference for your job. If I didn't like my job (which is false, because I enjoy my job & look forward to advancing in the company), I wouldn't put it on social media because of rats. It's wild...that's all I can say.

Free Will: Genesis 6:6-7

"6 The Lord regretted making human beings on the earth, and he was heartbroken. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe off of the land the human race that I’ve created: from human beings to livestock to the crawling things to the birds in the skies, because I regret I ever made them.” These verses signal God regrets his creation because they use their free will to do evil in his sight. All one has to do is look at what's going on today with racial division, greed, corruption, immorality, and so on. These things are a result of the free will God has given us. Knowing that, I'm keeping it real and saying God shouldn't have given us free will if he knew some of us would abuse it. That's the downside of freedom: Some people use their freedom for good, others use their freedom for evil. When others choose to do evil, the good has to deal with the trauma from evildoers. If I'm God, I would punish the evildoers and spare the decent folks because I believe the good shouldn't have to suffer with the bad. It's not fair at all. If someone wants to do wrong, that's their choice, but THEY....let me repeat that....THEY will suffer for their choices by themselves. It's like in school: One kid does wrong, the entire class suffers. Is it fair? No. The kid that messed up should be the only one punished, not the entire class. Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way & that's sad. We have too much freedom, and because of that...some people use their freedom for evil.

Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated

This vaccine has got people acting stupid. The unvaccinated looking down on the vaccinated & vice versa. The vaccinated accuses the unvaccinated of being selfish because they feel the unvaccinated is putting everyone else at risk by not getting the vaccine, and the unvaccinated accuses the vaccinated folks of living in fear. I feel like this: If you want to get the shot, GET IT. If not, DON'T. I've noticed the unvaccinated has been barking the most about the vaccine mandate across some sectors, saying a mandate is "infringing on their rights". I'm all for rights, but your rights end where mine begins. If your rights starts interfering with mine & others freedom, it's a problem. The Biden administration is pushing for a widespread vaccine mandate, and employees are losing their jobs over their refusal to get vaccinated and bi-weekly testing. If someone doesn't feel comfortable getting vaccinated, that's their right. You can't force someone to get vaccinated against their will. At the same time, if someone feels the vaccine will protect them against COVID-19, they should get the shot and move on. It boils down to choice: Everyone's different, so each person will do what they feel is best for them in regards to getting the shot.

I'm Back/COVID-19 PSA (Pt. 1)

 After a month+ absence from writing, finally I've returned to blogging. This break has given me plenty of time to think & I have lots to say. I want to discuss this pandemic & how it's brought the fool out of people: Ever since COVID-19 hit, it's destroyed lives and the economy. Hundreds of thousands have died from COVID. I'm grateful to have survived COVID due to my strong immune system. I loaded up on elderberry gummies, drank plenty of fluids and rested. I didn't have much of an appetite, but I forced myself to eat because I needed fuel to fight the virus. I feel for those dealing with COVID because they're not able to see loved ones while in the hospital. I pray this mess is over with because I'm sick of this pandemic, as are many others. A bigger downside of this pandemic is businesses struggling to find employees: Drive around the city, and what will you see? Now Hiring. Some companies are offering signing bonuses to attract talent. Nobody wants to work because it's easier to sit home and get free money from the government. Of those who received stimulus payments of $1400, $1200, $600 and so on, how many of them have saved a portion of that money? Very few, if any. Free money won't last forever, and then people will be forced to look for a job. It may not be what they're used to, but at least leverage any job to something better.
