To Love or not to Love...

Sometimes, I want to tell people how much they mean to me. Sometimes, I don't because of the awkward badness that might arise from doing it. Sometimes, I feel like it's bologna and I should just tell people how I feel. Sometimes, I feel like blogging about it. Sometimes, I feel like I have to fight harder to push through the awkwardness. Sometimes, sometimes is all the time. Sometimes, it is none of the time.

When did it become out of style and weird to tell people that we really care about them and love them, even.... that we want to see the best for them and we want them to be happy. The more I think of it. Maybe it hasn't gone out of style. Maybe its a bad way for me to think about it. Maybe if it is in my heart to do it, then I will do it. And, if it is not, then I won't. Maybe it's good for me to not let what others do influence me. If I have a strong passion, then I ought to go after it. In fact, if it's the right kind of passion, Jesus commands to go after it with everything we have, even leaving behind mothers and brothers and fathers and friends.

So, I propose this for the loveolution... We have all said at one point that all people really want is to feel accepted, to receive love and to give love. These are some of the basic needs of our souls that trickles down to the core of our spirits and nourishes us from deep down, inside out. There is global thinking that will solve global problems. But, there is personal thinking that will solve personal problems. Personally, we help the people directly around us to feel accepted and loved and open to receive their love. In fact, I think any global effort will fail without building personally as we build globally.

So, let's (as I said in my favorite voicemail awhile back) ... I said, Let's Love it up! Let's show people who they are as they appear to God! Let's show them how beautiful they are, and show them that God and us, as God's children want the absolute best for them. We want to see them shine! Let's communicate this in every way we can... through actions, through words, through videos, through pictures, through hellos and goodbyes, though it all!

So, c'mon! Let's get 'em lutionaries! Let's hit 'em hard with a love attack! And siege them and never cease until Love is gushing from their ears!

Good Day,
I

Mo and Do

Do is a fascinating character. She has all the abilities of normal female deer, but she also has some more extraordinary ones. It all started back one day in the windy city of Tequilo. She was getting ready to slide down a slippery slope of water. It was to be the first step in her new life. She cannot remember this time, but many can tell the story. That story will become clear as time goes on. Do's Mother, Chicago, was often a promiscuous deer with an abundance of curiosity for the wishing wells in Tequilo. One can never be sure as to why she spent so much time at those wells, but i guess she was looking for answers. Maybe she was wishing for something that she did not have. One must always remember the old adage, though, that a wish is a dream without a goal. I think all of the confusion will start to become clear as the bright, blue sky once the story is finished. Oh yeah, and then there is Ayo. She rode down that slippery slop awhile before Do.

I might finish this crazy, trippy story one day, but I usually only write like this if I am very depressed and tormented about something.
