Laughter...

They say laughter does good like a medicine...for spirit, for soul, for mind, for heart...it uplifts, it upholds, it bolsters and makes lighter all the heaviness and weight we tend to carry around.

Proverbs 17:22 says, “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.”

This morning as I sat and sipped my second cup of heaven I took a moment to reflect on the hijinks of those who truly believe they are above the law, above God's mandates and scriptures warning of the consequences of evil actions...oh how far we come along this path of peace...no longer yearning for something false, something that was altogether a lie...no longer believing in the child within the man...no longer listening nor caring what is said, written, believed...it is for naught...it is for self-promotion and self-inflation...

I sit in peace, in a home made cozy with my own hand...a fire blazing I provided for, I worked and sweated for....

Capable dear hearts...each of us IS capable...we were all along...

The lie was fashioned to elevate themselves while pushing us under...they are better, faster...yeah, sure are...the one-two pump chump rides again.

My friends, everything they put their hand to is done fast...quickly...the ruin of a coffee table he professed to make, one that needed a re-finish after his quick work...sanded, re-applied epoxy and it was done...no thanks given, for that would mean he didn't know how to do something, or finish something properly.

All show no go my friends....with each successive relationship the panic builds, and so too does the rage....they realize that something isn't right and so try harder with the next and the next and the next...never letting truth ride shotgun and point out the evil deeds that preclude disaster....

They set about winning a losing game...breaking hearts, spirits, minds...once in ruin, discarded as weak and not good enough, on to the next, and the next....

They set about on a losing path of their own making...

Walk it out dear hearts...walk away...see that it is good, outside those invisible prison walls...life awaits...see peace reign in your life once more, outside the demeaning, abusive behaviours...

Once out and viewing the man you left behind...oh the mask is gone, and what is revealed is ugly beyond compare...black beyond understanding, imagining....

Small, weak, cowardly monster...do not waste your pity nor your empathy for such a creature as this...they appear this way to pull you in, to tug on heart strings made of love and compassion...

Cowardly and evil they plot to bring you in...and in mere weeks, days even...you will begin to see, hear and feel the change, the moment Mr. Hyde becomes Dr. Jekyll...oh my prayer is for those lost and alone within such an environment...may you find your way free, may you find your way clear of lies, half-truths and laziness, betrayals and cheating behaviours....

They 'just want to live' their lives, as they choose...and you either succumb and obey, or leave...leaving requires planning, requires forethought and wisdom as they open the door, hold it for you...hiding the landmines, the artillery that waits your steps, making it essentially, physically, mentally, emotionally impossible to do so...then blame you for staying, or if you make it out and away, blame the leaving on you...

Pushed, poked, prodded, beat, spit on...but it is your fault...

Oh dear lost ones...take the blame and run....yes, leaving is sensible, is wise, is the plan...

Your sanity requires it...your heart, soul and spirit demand it....listen to that voice warning you, speaking to you in the quiet moments...in the dark as you dare not leak tears, nor sniffles...as you learn to cry silently wrapped up in the arms of the one who hurts you daily...

Make your way dear friends...life awaits you, love stands with arms open wide to catch you...
