LET'S SERVE THE LORD WITH KINDNESS


 “Be careful what ya pay attention to, 'cause certain things are never Good for You! Things highest, finest, best, most beautiful – who focuses on these is Dutiful. But please don't be a silly Flower child; why be by dreamy fantasies beguiled? There's sufferers who need relief today; it's time that we the Golden Rule Obey!” So let's do it!

WHY LET "THE BOOK OF REVELATION" OBSESS YOU?


"Some people get by prophecies obsessed, they waste their time and wildly speculate. But If ya'd be by Heaven richly blessed, you'll love yourself, your family, and mate. Dig, information 'bout the now and here, that's accurate and helpful, kindly, too – now, That's the type that helps God's gifts appear, that helps create a kinder, saner You! Please, never let yourself be led astray, but focus on what's noble, good, and pure; may Jesus guide your every move today, his grace your sanity and health ensure!”

TURN AROUND!


 “If you're obsessed with evils, you can change. There's beauty, love, and truth that you kin Find! A jaded mind likes stuff that's dark and strange, but there's more energy in bein' kind! Why not be kind ta you yourself today, and feed your mind upon what's right and good? Yes, loving-kindness, That's the Noble Way, that blesses best our Global Neighborhood! So let's be kind!”

TOO MANY SPICES MAKE YOU SICK


(to someone focusing on unwholesome things)

“Too much attention paid ta crazy stuff! Of bullshit, some can't seem ta get enough. Your jaded mental tongue can't taste what's sweet; what Is this cockamamie crap ya eat? Too many evils tickling your brain, and blessings disappearing down the drain! Your mental food is way too over-spiced! Why not surrender all ta Buddha-Christ?”

Note: “Paying attention to what is not is like spice for your brain food.”
