“Fear” by Dewaine Wakeman

Unfortunately for many of us, myself included,
Fear makes our decisions for us. We wallow in it.
We ponder in it, we bring miseries
and dysfunctions into our lives by giving fear power over us.

I’m reminded of a line from my childhood, a hymn,
'What a friend we have in Jesus':
“Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh, what NEEDLESS PAIN we bear.” .
i.e., we don't live in the freedom of the fear that seems to grip our lives.

The truth is the mind stores the ideas that we focus on.
We worry too much about the information we receive, not knowing the source upon which that information is received to us.

A curious mystery from the New Testament reveals our problem (which is an issue of life itself) “Don’t let thy right hand, know what thy left hand is up to."

There are two entities (negative and positive energy - Devil or God, creation or destruction, as they are sometimes called) It totally makes sense not to allow in the negative to destroy us - Which one do we follow?, which do we feed? 

We often feed the negative voices and question ourselves as a result.
"...
“What WILL happen to me IF 'I FAIL'? We can only imagine now what the result will be - You are your worst enemy. As Wayne Dyer would say, “Don’t BELIEVE everything you 'THINK'" 
 Resist the devil and HE will flea from 'YOU'... ( Jesus would say) 

“ Fear and faith both demand you to believe in something: YOU CHOOSE.” - Bob Proctor
(I like that one - because it pretty much is the truth.)

Love Lives Long After  (A Re-blog from 2011)  by Dewaine Wakeman Well, its finally over: Valentine’s day 2011 draws to a close. Chocolate candies and candles have been cleared off, cards and packages are tucked well away,  hugs and kisses have subsided, the gourmet meals have all been served - and the day, in its totality,  even those intimate moments, (forgive the mention)  are now finished for everyone. And what about the day of love itself?  Why do we celebrate it? Why do we confine it to the celebration of a single day, and a predictable day at that? Would the saints and the poets view this day with any more or any less skepticism? I’m thinking of my father. A few years ago, he made a personal wedding gift for my mother. I was awe struck by his thoughtful gift,  as any reflective person would have been.  He delivered it to her perfectly on the day without fan fare of their anniversary, coming home from work,  with no big speeches at all, or

Sincerity, Think of all the salutations, the world contains, we always sign these at the end our letters to other people, to seal the deal, if you will, to let others to know our true intentions. everything from Forever Yours, to Best Friend Forever etc. etc. I always think of love as something of a lasting quality. A quality to admire, something with teeth to it per se. As for my experiences on the Internet, I've been called everything from " Baby" to "Sugar" to " My Hun" to "my friend" to "my love" However the words never lasted past a month in most cases. I am reminded a bit of some choice words of a wise adage, What you are (you're sincerity in this case) speaks so loudly....I cannot hear what YOU say? I think sincerity IN ITS TOTALITY begins with us and not in the often insincere words we say ALONE. words that get said one to another for example. Sincerity ultimately is measured intrinsically

"Lifestyles of the Poor and Broke" by Dewaine Wakeman   Thrift – its amazing what you can do. Internet? (We all can do that.) Exercise? (We all can do that too. Who needs a health club membership?) Transportation (We all can do that - several ways) Shelter (We all can find our means I suppose if we are smart about it.) We can have everything a responsible adult can have or a homeless person could enjoy if we are careful, this is still America after all. So who am I? I’m many of you. I’m your neighbor. Won’t you be my neighbor?  I’m really good at getting by. Let’s start with exercise: Bicycle or walk? ( no gasoline or auto insurance needed) Cutting firewood (no fuel bills – fire up the wood stove, campfires work too if you live in the deep south). Entertainment? There’s digital televison, you either get the signal or you won't. Btw it’s crystal clear nowadays should you be lucky enough to
