Thought For the Day: We Must Correct the Generationally Failed Social Policies That Have Resulted In the Common Denominator of Most Violence – Fatherless Homes; Abjectly Violent Media. Stop Blaming Guns For Violence.
“We, as a nation, must rise above using the blood of innocents to further our own political agendas while blaming our political opponents for violence. It is time we identified the underlying causes of the epidemic of violence besieging our nation, and determine a path to correct the systemic issues responsible. We must correct the generationally failed social policies that have resulted in the common denominator of most violence — fatherless homes. We must also address the influence that abjectly violent media has on young people, desensitizing the rising generation of sociopaths who then slaughter innocents with no remorse. It is time to stop blaming guns for violence because we all know guns don’t kill people, thugs do.” – Joe Biden
My profound apologies. I was fooled and should have researched this. This quoted material belongs to Mark Alexander from the Patriot Post as what Biden should have said. I thought it very odd that I had not seen or heard Biden say this. But I thought it was something new and didn’t look it up. I apologize that I didn’t fact check the quote where I found it. The information is true. The quote should just be attributed as Mark Alexander’s attempt to help Biden understand the real issues involved.

The Search of Civilization
The Search of Civilization
by Michael Doyle
Earth's civilizations
Reach into space
In the search
For new life
That we can embrace
Until with devastation
And with waste
We have, as we will,
As we have always find
As we have always found
Another peaceful civilization
To
Wear
Down...
Into tatters and discard
In the name of manifested destiny

Processing Transformation
1 John 3:1-10
Processing Transformation
by Michael Doyle
As the children of God, we know love
Shined down from the heavens above
To know this hope in God in which we will stay
We are forgiven to the extent we no longer stray
We must do right and not fall into the ways of sin
Let this be proclaimed with thanks again and again
It must be considered in our holy transformation
That we process and acquire our information
That will teach us to keep in line with the plan
That will make us each a better woman or a man
It’s all in the application of the best known ways
To live in holiness in all of our best living days
Different people in different sets of circumstances
Need to learn different facts to balance the chance
That things that will be said depend on what we believe
And are fully prepared for that we might yet receive
What is needed bring us to our very best
And to gain the transformation needed to pass the test
Because the thing is that we all live imperfectly
Walking in sinful ways, we notice more significantly
When we truly try to walk the on the righteous pathway
Living out our best attempts at getting it right away
There is so much in life that we openly take and embrace
Until truly saved and seeing below the surface face
It’s an ongoing struggle that we try to push away
But it’s the habits of the flesh that stay with us every day
However, these are dealt with larger and smaller
These are the struggles that make a soul grow taller
Born of God, we will seek to live in holiness
Despite our struggles, born again as we know this
We know that it takes time to reach our maturity
Blessed by the spirit and the word, living holy
