More Than just Words: The American Fighting Man (If You care Read)

The American Fighting Man (If You care Read)
The American Fighting Man (do
you even love him?)
WOW this was a day and it all
unfolded in a matter of minutes when I read the comments on a post, then I had
to re-post it and then add a little bit of my own guidance of thought to
it.
I was floored to know that the mind of the
average person is heartless and not very bright if I may add sadly. Now I may not be fair to some people in
saying this but please hear me out, I served in the Auxiliary Air Force
(the civil Air Patrol all the way through high School) then I enlisted
in the US Navy (enlisted) Then I went to the Officers Candidate in
the US Army, then I still went to the US National Guard, I was a
very dedicated and loyal military man who is proud of my time serving in this
country. I may have had questions
on what I did, but if you don't know what it means to fight for a greater cause
or to follow orders then you have to be excused at this time from this
discussion right now.
This is a grown up conversation, my question
is - should the man be condemned because he had followed orders even when he
might have a question on the reasons of those orders? Actually the answer of that could be debated
for years and we still end up with two sides and no winners. But when a man comes home from that kind
of turmoil in his life, should he be welcomed home along with his friends who
he served with and be welcomed with loving open arms? Please
be careful with your answer to that question you may have a family member who
is serving and think that it has not touched you personally, so your answer
should be well thought out and not careless; but I think that he should be
given a feast and a heroes welcome and his friends that served with him also.
Sad
thing we have not done that in this
country for all of our sons and daughters and brothers and uncles and nephews
and nieces and mothers who have served in the military even if they have seen
battle of not. We have rejected the man and
women of the military, if we reject the war that they participated in; and that
my friend is the worst wrong that there could ever be.
I want those who read this post to stand
up and spread this because what I am saying is the right and the thing to
do. Open your arms and fight for our
Military men no matter if they did not even set foot in a war zone. Just because
to serve is to change your way of thinking and life as you known it to be and
go through some of the most life changing things just to be able to serve this
country and also no one knows when your time will come as a soldier; at home or
abroad your life is not your own and you do as you are told and unless you
served you do not even know how to compare the life of a soldier with any
other.
Re-Post
this for me - Re-Post this because you are thankful for the
comfort you enjoy - but please RE-POST because you have a heart for humans
who have large shoulders like the American Fighting Man and all those who
serve.

More Than just Words: Today is the now time to do things
More Than just Words: Today is the now time to do things: So you are putting off doing something that you should or not doing your best for the people you say you love then, absorb this. If you ...
Today is the now time to do things
I just Could
I could have loved you more!
I could have done things a
little better,
Come home and be more joyful,
and a kiss of passion, a soft touch so sinful,
Let’s not wait, until you are
gone, - - - the time is now!
The moment waits for no one,
To strike the match and then
wait for the fire is not living,
But to have the candles lit
and make the flames go higher, burn brighter;
I could consider this.
The chair sits there and tells
no lies, - - - it does not speak,
And when you sit in it, to you
it comes alive, it hugs you,
And tells you stories,
something like a la la-by, you listen all too well and it caresses your mind,
you may either sleep, Think, or read, he did its best,
No regrets!
No not I, - - - I just could
have held you that way too,
Whenever you reached for me!
I could do and do and do,
So let me hold the light and
dim it if it becomes too bright, maybe brush the tears from your eye, - - - I just
could,
I just could be all that and
more,
Be there to see you through a
bad day, chase the clouds and be the sunshine in some sweet way;
The way I see it I have a
choice to be or not to be,
And with just half a chance I
can be, if given just the chance.
Time goes and never responds
to your beckon call,
So use it well I have heard it
said, now that we are both here right here and now,
I will no longer say I just
could,
Or would or will, I just do
and do and do, - - -forget I just could that is no good.

More Than just Words: Listening the first part of love
More Than just Words: Listening the first part of love: Listening the first part of love There are times that I have been look at as a person with great compassion, love and understandin...
Listening the first part of love
Listening the first part of
love
There are times that I have
been look at as a person with great compassion, love and understanding from all
walks of life both men and women, and I have had to sit back and think on what
has just been said about me. I have
had the falls that pride walks before, and today I make sure that my steps are
carefully thought out, but I am not perfect (I know that is silly of me to say lol
J) But really this is how I have to carry
myself or I will fall trap to that bad devise pride and fall again as do other
men of power and great likeability. To get back to what want to convey
to you, the things that I have found which makes me appealing to others is not smoke
and mirrors or tricks; it is real as the sun in the sky.
The thing that I had to learn was
very hard but not always experiencing the hurt and pain all by myself as some
people do. We can look at the old saying
that experience being the greatest teacher, and find the truth in it; but the coiner
of that famous saying or phrase left out one important thing, that is the last
part of that saying which makes it complete. It goes like this and I quote
myself, “Experience is the best teacher, “But”! you don’t have to
experience it on your own, use the experiences of others and also the wisdom of
those who have experienced life’s tragedies as teachers of things to be experienced”.
Now you will find that I try not to quote
others, not to mean that I have not learned from others and their experiences,
but I would prefer to place things in the way that I understand them, maybe
someone can relate to my words as well, I do believe that we all can become the
great teachers of experience’s voice and help to guide one another have a more
meaningful life.
Now to tell you about one
thing that I have learned in life and that is a small thing about love, it can
make the difference in how people look at you, with respect or with contempt. How? It is very simple; the way we treat
one another can make one respect us or even see us as beautiful or ugly. I am not in any way an ugly man (my opinion) but have had struggled with acceptance in
groups such as with men and not so much with women, but I have found that being
around women I have learned empathy in a big way. I call it “learning how to listen” (not solve problems as most
people think, but just listen, hear the other person and say yes I understand!)
It is a learned skill, an Art if you will something to be desired for all
people and sex. I like it, it is
now part of me but I have also found that it is only a part of the big picture
of the act of “Love”, and cannot be rushed and it takes time to acquire the
Art; Love is huge, and we all are made with love and of love and to be loved;
we have the great potential to become love, but we first have to listen. We all can be called beautiful because of
love but it is a process that starts with listening with a loving heart. Please
go and experience Love, in the hurt it can bring, in the joy, the passion that
we can find in it and all the of the ins and outs of love but do start with
becoming a good listener, the key is to listen with your heart not your mind. Funny thing is that we will find out
that God our creator listens to our hearts, not our minds or even our actions,
it is from the heart that wickedness comes and becomes an action, and it is
also from the heart comes true Love and compassion and Joy which also becomes
our actions as well. I believe
that if we can cure the heart of the wicked things, then we will see the truth
of the love that we are made in and the love that can be attained which lays
dormant in the dept of our hearts, it is a gene that we all are born with. Please
read The Proverbs of the Bible and listen with the heart you will be guided to
learn from David and Solomon great Kings of Israel.
Here is a poem as a gift to enjoy and pass along to someone you Love.
“I was made to love you”!
I was made to Love you,
Made and fashioned in the
great Image of Love - - - (God)!
Made to look at you as a
perfect and most beautiful act of “Love”,
You! - - - also created
because of “love” and to be loved!
I have fallen into that “love”
which explains me and just who I am;
I was defiantly made to “Love”
you!
I know that now, - - - but did
not while in my youth,
My purpose has come full
circle, to end up Loving you, - - -
Just the “Truth”!
I thought that in loving you,
I would not be free!
Ha, - - -
Loving you is Liberating!
I now know how the Eagles feel
on currents of hot air,
It is the hot breath of “God” that
keeps them there, - - - It is His design,
Creator of mankind!
And when I love like the way
God has taught me to,
I find that I am propelled, slingshot
into a world outside myself, - - -and I am free,
And the world seeks to touch
me, they want to know me?
To know me? - - - the world
wants to hold me? - - -
And it calls me beautiful? - -
- it calls me heart felt,
It calls me “Love”, sweet;
These are words I never heard
before describing (me)! Words I have been fighting for to hear said;
My “War” is now over, I have
won my battle to find freedom,
I may not be liked by everyone
(jealousy) but - - - I am respected!
I am not over prideful, but I am
now aware of my purpose,
I can now do what comes naturally
to me,
Because I found worth! - - -
“I was made to Love you”!

Takinf Baby Steps in the New year
Baby steps to a desired existence.
It can be real puzzling to look forward and try to tell
what would be acceptable in each society tomorrow, but we can see what it was
like and then we can graph our progress if any? I
do think that the question if asked would be answered differently by the same
people but at different times every time it is asked. One can wonder and maybe
if we stay on the task of wondering what is the difference in the mind set and
the hearts of people today and yesterday when you look at a child who is of
mixed cultures or races. Do we still
look at them as wrong or keep that eerie look in your eye but say the
politically correct thing? Or are they really the wave of the future and widely
accepted and now ingrained into our social net work? Things to ponder I think but I can only say
that we have so much to learn and over come as a human race, yes there are
still the hidden relics of racism and inequality. I am a man may I say more? Should I have to
say more and does it really matter that I am mixed and have as much a deep
white heritage as I do black, I am a fairly intelligent man, I know some Spanish,
French, and some words in other languages as well, I listen to the classical
music, as well as Jazz, Gospel, Country Western, Rockabilly Blues, and some
regular Blues, I know of Rap and the history of it. There are things I am educated in such as
combustion automotive mechanic, electrical and electronic repair; I had
training in health and nutrition and Personal Training, I am for the most part
a Rogue Scholar but have acquired certificates and course completions from a
collage or two. I would like to take
the time to plead with you to open the way for the human race, to put it as we
would say politically correct; for people of all races and mixtures. But once again it will mean that we keep on
taking those baby steps, which we have so long so forgotten to continue taking
after all these years. It is going to
hurt like before but it will be good for all of us I know I am still taking
baby steps in my own life to accept others who are not like me.
Here is one of my gifts a Poem I had Published just lately.
THE OPEN BOOK
By Guy T Woods Sr
A New Years Resolution
Today like any other day I
opened my books of life and started to read,
I read each and every word,
And then I read it all aloud,
then quietly I just read to myself;
I heard the words of great men
sing,
Their echoes, they are
teaching me life's amazing things,
And when I used them on myself
I found it bitter in my heart,
But good to see it made such a
change me!
So now I see the lesson
learned,
To change the man it may seem
at first like a living hell,
The bitterness of the truth
about the real you!
The hard cold fact of just
what you have to do;
But there will be growth I am
sure of that!
In time it will somehow show
then you will be well,
And there is proof take a good
look at me,
I am not the man I use to be,
I have since then grown,
Now what do you see?
I think I have turned into a
prince.
I promise you my friends, this
year I will do better than that,
I will become real love; God
will make sure of that!
So in this year please follow
through,
Complete all the things you
set out to do,
The first step is hard, and
there will be bumps,
Suck it up these things are
good for you.
