Life without joy is no life at all. My life is filled with
joy every day, but there are obstacles
that try to get in the way. The main obstacle is the pain that I see in the
individuals that are victimized by our own human neighbors, and worse yet,
leaders.
How in the world did thousands of priests molest children?
Worse yet, recently the pope claimed that women would NEVER be ordained as
priests. Oh, really? I would think that the leader of the catholic church would
find it in his heart to seek out a solution to this ongoing world wide problem
no matter what it takes if he is so concerned about the children.

WRITE A LETTER NOW |
Our president thinks that taunting a crazed madman with his
finger on nukes deserves an insulting nickname like “Little Rocket Man.” He
recently claimed that that was his best one ever! This is our leader. This is
the man that sets the behavioral example for our children and grandchildren.
Taunting a tyrant with rhetoric threatens the health and safety of the entire
human race. How dare him!
The future of our globe is suffering from the same sick and
rude treatment. Global warming is doubted by many for political reasons,
including money, and our oceans and lands which provide clean food for the
human race and our animal friends are being lost every day.
At this time there are more than 10,000 children in custody
at our southern border that have been separated from their parents. Yes, there
is the argument that their parents have brought them over the border illegally
and this must be dealt with, but to what cruel strategy?
So, I ask, where do I find joy with these horrible
injustices surrounding me? I don’t have the power to change any of these
issues, or do I? Yes, I do. The power of the pen can make a difference. I can
testify that the joy of directing my opinion to those in power feels like I am
making a difference, and at least, speaking my mind on behalf of those that are
suffering.
I encourage my readers to choose the issues that mean
something to you. I was raised Catholic and am no longer practicing, but the
numbers of priests that have proven to be filthy rapists are in need of
punishment. What about the thousands of lives that deserve to be healed? What
about replacing these dirty men with worthy women? Write a letter to your local
Chancery office and demand that women be ordained because the chosen men have
failed us. Enough letters might at least bring the suggestion to the fore
front.
The globe and the oceans are being molested every day. Our
waters provide us with the necessary environment for a healthy eco system for
both animals and humans. This is the food of the future. There is no amount of
money that should be an excuse for allowing dirty industries to operate while
polluting the waters with no real penalties.
As difficult as it is, finding inner peace and sorting
through the chaos on a personal level is the place to begin. For me, meditation
is where I find calm before I sit down to write those letters. I make
duplicates of the letters that I write and at the end of each week I re-submit
at least 5 letters. I keep pressing every department of the church or
government in hopes that someone will take my letter to a meeting of people who
can make a difference. This gives me joy where the chaos of life tries to rob
it from me.
Please, do it. Write letters, read the voters booklets that
come in the mail, and vote for the
things that you believe it. Doing nothing is assured to rob you of the joy that
you deserve as a member of the human race. VOTE!
