Cooperation for the Better of Human Existence

Have you noticed that we are in the year 2026? As I look at the days that we are living in, it is only fair to ask why we have not found a new way to exist together. Yes, we live in a fast paced, modern society, but what does that gain us if all we see on the news is another shooting? It is so sad to see things like that when all I want to do is reach people intellectually. What happened to cooperation for the better of human existence?

When “they” say we have advanced, advanced to what? Where is all this hate coming from? Yes, I know, the Bible says that at this time the devil will know that his time is short and he will go around “like” a roaring lion looking for whom he may devour. I actually used that verse in my first book. But I had no idea that I would be living in these days watching a world that I love come apart at the seams. And when I say that I love the world, I do not mean that I love the world more than God. But I live in this world and when people find common ground to stand on, it makes this world not seem so obtuse. Where are the intelligent people who are more interested in advancing their future rather than trying to destroy each other?

The books that I write are all encouraging for those who have been through terrible situations. And yes, so many people have been through situations like this. Why are so many things happening today? We are civilized, right? And no, I am not talking to my Cherokee people. We became civilized a long time ago and we are working together for the good of each other and our children. I am talking to anyone out there who has decided that one type of person is not worth living in this world. Where the madness of murder continues to envelop their minds into what I would consider chaos. Why are we not reaching out to these people before it happens? Or is something else standing in the way of reaching out to them?

Research shows that every mass murder suspects left clues leading up to the days before the act. Who is there to lead these people out of their bent-up mind? Someone who knew something, saw something, before the actual act is always there. God help us reach out to these people before they commit more atrocities against someone in the free world.

The free world is something we in the west are proud of. In a free world we have certain rights. And one of those rights does not say that you have the right to murder someone because you do not like them. What a shame that some people have gotten it all wrong.

I pray that we as people decide that life is more precious, and time spent in harmony more valuable.

I am praying for all people who are going through heartache. May God give you peace in this time of sorrow.

 

Love always,

Mitten According To Mr. Kinder | short story by Laveda D. Rockford

Image
  Mitten According To Mr. Kinder Mitt shoveled snow off Mr. Kinder’s front porch, being mindful of the noise the shovel made while crossing the old plank boards. Mitt was not his given name, one day when he was outside, he lost one of his mittens and wore a single mitten all day and Mr. Kinder had called him Mitt ever since. Mr. Kinder was Mitt’s best friend. Mitt, knowing that his disability made him unable to play the same games as the other children in the neighborhood, spent his late afternoons alone until Mr. Kinder started talking to him across the fence last summer. The nice afternoon visits turned into having a soda while sitting on Mr. Kinder’s front porch listening to Bach or some other classical music drift quietly through the window to tickle, and at times, to frighten Mitt. Mr. Kinder sometimes would tell him the story behind the musical piece if it was not too scary, to ease the discomfort that Mitt felt when the resounding loud base filled the air. But most of ...

Wafting Through The Air

Image
Some things are so beautiful that you cannot forget it, Some things are so awful that you cannot forget, Time stands still for a split second, While the mind records it all, When tears doth fall, The curse of it all, Began with the first sin of all, (Adam & Eve) Then a baby in a manger or feeding trough, Covered in cloth, swaddling cloth, The same they used on newborn sheep, These might have been already dappled, covered, To protect the little lamb, From times before, Beginnings of lore, Free, freedom, forever more, A little respite from satan’s snare, A lot of hope wafting through the air, A child of God, He did dare, To take the keys from the gates of hell, The Son of God, He is well, He lives in my heart, my mind, and body.  What can man do to my soul? *** Through all the tragedies that have been going on, we do have a redeemer. And His name is Jesus Christ. Praying for anyone who is in need of this kind of healing.  Love Always, Laveda D. Rockford

THE BRIDGE | Laveda D. Rockford

  THE BRIDGE | Laveda D. Rockford   I would like to introduce you to: The Bridge My first commissioned painting.   THE BRIDGE an oil painting by Laveda D. Rockford I could tell you about my painting and how hard it was to paint, but I am moved to talk about something else. God. I am a Christian and believe that Jesus Christ came to earth as a baby, died on a cross for our sins, and arose from death, conquering death.   God is the Alpha and the Omega, what happens in-between should interest all of us, but no matter what, we can be sure to live in eternity with the LORD.   The LORD the Shepherd of His People A Psalm of David   The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.   Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of    death, I will fear...
