Addressing the basics

 "If you're struggling to pay your rent, or feed your kids, you don't have the privilege of thinking about things like LGBTQ rights, unless you've got somebody in your family that's personally affected...Our party needs to figure out that not everybody is thinking about these very important social issues."

-- Susan Wild, a Democrat

How President-elect Donald Trump won Pennsylvania − and what voters say about the flip


As a kid, we were taught in school the basics: food, clothing, and shelter.

It's what every person needs.

Of course, to have all that, you need a job.

You need income.

School didn't teach us about "retirement".

Or what career to have.


In my last year in high school, our guidance counselor interviewed us about "interests".

But it didn't guide us through "careers".

Which, till now, I wish they did.

What good is knowing what a child's strengths are, unless you're able to translate it into a prospective "course" or "career"?

I received no such guidance.


Wasn't high school preparation for college?

Oh, the many missing gaps of school!

I wish school taught us more practical stuff.

One good thing they taught us was "GOD".

It was automatic, because I studied in Catholic schools.


Has it changed much?

Anywhere in the world?

I think it's pretty much the same.

Food, clothing, shelter, and "faith".

But first, get a job.

Make a living; earn a living, as they say.

But I always felt there was so much more.


My "education" reached a high the day GOD made me born again in 2019.

His SPIRIT began teaching me.

I set aside all other knowledge after that.

All I learned about "survival", I learned from JESUS.

SPIRIT and Scripture taught me about the LORD.

Now, I look to JESUS, for everything.

As He said:

Matthew 6:25

King James Version

25 Therefore I say unto you, 

Take no thought for your life, 

what ye shall eat, 

or what ye shall drink; 

nor yet for your body, 

what ye shall put on. 

Is not the life more than meat, 

and the body than raiment?


Matthew 6:30

King James Version

30 Wherefore, 

if God so clothe the grass of the field, 

which to day is, 

and to morrow is cast into the oven, 

shall he not much more clothe you, 

O ye of little faith?


Matthew 6:31-33

King James Version

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, 

What shall we eat? 

or, What shall we drink? 

or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) 

for your heavenly Father knoweth 

that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, 

and his righteousness; 

and all these things 

shall be added unto you.


Matthew 6:34

King James Version

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: 

for the morrow shall take thought 

for the things of itself. 

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.


John 6:35

King James Version

35 And Jesus said unto them, 

I am the bread of life: 

he that cometh to me shall never hunger; 

and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.


Matthew 10:29-31

King James Version

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? 

and one of them shall not fall on the ground 

without your Father.

30 But the very hairs of your head 

are all numbered.

31 Fear ye not therefore, 

ye are of more value 

than many sparrows.


John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


When you know GOD, and His laws, you're on the right footing.

You're on the right path.

We don't think about LGBTQ.

Satan put that in.
