It’s way too easy to be judgemental toward others. Some folks do this to deflect from their own flaws. I’m addicted to nicotine and coffee. Someone else I know and love is most likely breaking an even more harmful addiction. How do I know this? Well, I do realize how powerful a fervent prayer can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information overloads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So I’m currently in the Facebook jailhouse for 90 days. Whew! Vacation time! Time out for spreading free-thinking missed-information<\/strong> to the masses.

Trusted resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of course it’s alright to question CNN, MSN, Washington Post or any news media on North American dirt. For all it’s worth, the USA was founded upon freedom; liberty is our motto. There are impostors hellbent on destroying that liberty. My God is laughing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reality can step on some big toes. Might even stomp out some sinister plans too. That’s okay. We have access to a greater resource than all fear combined. Be blessed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
