An Introduction

I was raised Christian (Pentecostal). One Sunday, when I was about 15 years old (in the year 1994 or 1995), I was in church with my mother, ...

Tweets - January 10th - Children

Response to tweet: https://twitter.com/MrBTheTeach/status/1479221097799299078

Some things came in to focus after watching these videos.

You know, heaven has refused to tell me how to think about anything. In fact, if an angel visits you and tells you how you need to think about something, one way or another, you can be certain that it is no angel speaking with you (same goes for any of these prophets).

As often as they have been hands-on with me, they have been hands-off. They continually show me what goodness is, and then they step back so that I can consider the things I've been given.

But considering the vileness that bear, raise, teach, and govern children in this place, I do understand more plainly why one would have the need to instruct and encourage children to view things like Nazism, racism, and slavery in a negative way.

Remember children:
"Racism": BAD! (unless it benefits corporate or political agendas)
"Ideal rate of poverty, hunger, thefts, evictions, destitution, homelessness, system-inflicted pain, and unemployment > 0%": GOOD!

I spent 25 years in godless despair, and it's good for me to remember where I come from so I'll always know where you are (or at least have a good idea of where you are).

As much as I'll require you to understand goodness, I will not tell you how to think - and my silence will piss you off at times, just like it pissed me off when they (pointing upward) were silent.

I will have to think of ways to give insight and show you - even before you know you need to see - and my hope is that you will be in a better position to both move forward and be moved forward (by God through Christ).

The end goal is for you to heal and to be healed, so that even if this world causes you perpetual agony, sadness, and distress, your mind and your body will not. In this way, God is being glorified through you.
