Just had to take a break. Really depressed by what is going on al around in America.

So a friend of mine sent me a link and asked that I just concentrate on the words and message which is for everyone.
First, let me say this. I am not a religious person. In fact I get most annoyed with family and friends pushing their various beliefs on each other and others. But somehow this one particular link that my friend sent me has offered a glimpse of what I wish all religious people were like no matter their particular religious denomination, sect, or whatever you call it. All of them seem to believe in a higher power that they portray as "good and loving." If this is the case than this son song and choir is what I hope a "heavenly" or creator's choir and message might look and sound like. It embraces all, gay, straight, black, white, Asian, Native, Hispanic ...you name it. Just made me think if the so-called Christian evangelicals would strive to be PLEASING the would would be different.

Not pushing anything...just peace. If this is not allowed to be posted, forgive me and just listen and watch it elsewhere.

6. It can only be rammed down your throat if you want it.

I concede there are those who let others control their emotions and push their buttons. And there are those who are trapped, for various reasons, in an abusive , toxic and destructive relationships. But the great majority of us are not like that it stuck in a very unhealthy relationship. We are masters of our own selves

2. I would encourage you to...

forget about the term "religion" and start to wonder about spirituality. I listen to Rick Archer interview folks about their awakening...they come from all walks of life and all have a story to tell that is interesting. The website or youtube channel is called BATGAP...it stands for Buddha at the Gas Pump. I won't try to convince you of anything but if you are curious, check it out. We listen as we go to sleep, some episodes we have listened to for weeks to get to the end as they last can last for hours. By the way the interviews will never depress you...I have total empathy for where you are coming from now.

Do unto to others as you would like done to you. Period, covers everything in my mind.
