So many of us have lived our lives placing unmerited value on the opinions of others while discrediting our personal truth and reality. Breaking the shackles of people-pleasing requires honest self-appraisal, a healthy dose of self-esteem, and an enormous commitment to self-realization.
– it is my humble opinion –
Apparently many in the secular world of politics who profess Christianity and a number of those preaching from America’s pulpits have not read the text of Isaiah 58, verses 7-10. Or perhaps they have read it and believe it to be irrelevant in today’s world scene where children are caged on our southern border, where desperate refugees are turned away from a safe haven, where poverty and destitution among American citizens are reaching epidemic proportions, where suicides among young people and veterans are increasing, where the homeless are turned out into the city’s streets and rural wooded areas, where it is still legal in 30 states to discriminate against gays and lesbians regarding jobs, housing and social services, where oppression of minorities is advocated by those in power, where the funding for basic necessities of food and housing is being slashed, where it has become OK to persecute dissenting voices, where the ostentatious wealth of the wealthy is nothing less than socially immoral.
This appears to be the legacy our current Washington, DC powers are building. It would be far better for those Christian leaders to honestly admit their intentions and agendas and lay their cards on the table for all to see. Instead they attempt to deceive under the guise of God-inspired leadership.
But, what do I know? I am just a simple and unfiltered man. However, from a different culture and a different time come these words of wisdom:
Thus says the LORD:
Share your bread with the hungry,
shelter the oppressed and the homeless;
clothe the naked when you see them,
and do not turn your back on your own.
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,
ISAIAH 58:7-10
I AM LARRY – worthy, unique, loved
lpb quest - the twilight dance 
I remember last year when Trump visited California and he was appalled by how all the homeless people were making the city look less beautiful
So instead of ya know, using money to build shelters and low income homes and help people get off the street he is building his wall and slashing social security and food stamps. Which will just worsen the homeless problem, not to mention people who are starving will be more inclined to commit thefts just to get a loaf of bread to feed their kids.
It’s insanity and I don’t really feel so proud to be a part of this America, honestly.

Hey, maybe he could put all the homeless people in cages and make them do tricks for a loaf of bread. GRRRRRRR. Like you said – i’m not real proud of America. Thanks for the visit and comment.

It boggles the mind how so many so-called “Christians” truly have no love for the rest of humanity unless they share the same color skin, sexuality, and political & religious ideology.
