God as seen by Michael Angelo, a loveable oldie dat looks like me ....
dis is me- Not God, oldie silly!
BEEG GOD ....
God loves u
Two men went fishing.
One was an experienced fisherman, the other wasn't.
Every time the experienced fisherman caught a big fish, he put it in his ice chest to keep it fresh.
Whenever the inexperienced fisherman caught a big fish, he threw it back.
The experienced fisherman watched this go on all day and finally got tired of seeing the man waste good fish. "Why do you keep throwing back all the big fish you catch?" he asked.
The inexperienced fisherman replied, "I only have a small frying pan."
Sometimes, like that fisherman, we throw back the big plans, big dreams, big jobs, big opportunities that God gives us. Our faith is too small.
We laugh at that fisherman who didn't figure out that all he needed was a bigger frying pan,
yet how ready are we to increase the size of our faith?
Whether it's a problem or a possibility,
God will never give you anything bigger than you can handle.
That means we can confidently walk into anything God brings our way.
You can do all things through God.
Nothing is too big for God.
Stop telling God you've got big problems.
Tell your problems you've got a BIG GOD!
gott dis from Mendes, a goyenkar oldie, like me

lets make dis world a better place .....
Michael Jackson, Neale Donald Walsch
Dear Friend,
Your coming to this web site means more to me than I could ever tell you. It says to me that you are one of the courageous ones. Someone on whom we can count on to continue the silent, individual search for the highest truth in order to make a difference in your own life.
Why this means so much to me is that I know that when you make a difference in your own life, you make a difference in the world. And the world is urgently in need of being made different now.
I know that I do not have to work hard to convince you of this. One look at today's headlines as you opened your Internet connection this morning has already done that. All that any of us are looking for now is a way to make a difference, a way to help change things.
Now you may be one of those who believe that there is not really much that any of us can do to have any real impact in such a huge undertaking, but I call out to you now from the deepest reaches of my heart to beg you not to accept that belief, not to embrace it, for it is simply not true.
Every-day people, in the every day living of their lives, are what create the collective reality on this planet in which we all live and move and have our being. The way in which you walk through our world affects our world, perhaps more profoundly than you might ever have guessed. A pebble dropped into the water creates ripples that extend beyond your imagining.
I know that most of you have come to this website because you have been touched in an important way by the messages in the With God series of books. Others of you may be here out of simple curiosity, having heard about these books and having wondered what all the commotion is about. In either case, I see you in the category of courageous people that I have described, for it takes courage even to be curious, and that is not a courage I dismiss lightly.
Part of the challenge we face in the world today is that so many people already have their minds made up about everything. About politics, about religion, about economics, about life itself. They feel that they have all the answers, and there is nothing further to question. There is merely to implement the answers, to insist on the answers, to stick to the answers no matter what.
Yet this is dogma, and dogma is killing us. Our refusal to look for new answers-or to even consider the possibility that new answers might exist-at a time when it is clear to all of us that the old answers are no longer working, is bringing an end to the experience of life on this planet as we have known it.
Of course it does not have to be like this. And it will not be, so long as people at least have the courage to ask, "Might there be another way?"
There are other ways to live our lives, other ways to interact together, other ways to resolve our differences, to deal with our major conflicts, and to reach decisions affecting the huge collective that we call Humanity. Some of those ways are described in the With God series of books-and this website exists for those who wish to know more about that.
So welcome. It is well that you have come here. I hope that you will travel all the pages of this site, explore their contents, and interact with us in ways that feel good to you. And I invite you to join with us in changing lives and changing the world, one person at a time, starting with ourselves.
I send you my love,
Neale Donald Walsch

Why does God let bad things happen? .....
a message for all u cry babies out there
Why does God let bad things happen?
Neale Donald Walsch
It is much easier to change what you are doing than to change what another is doing.
You may ask, ‘‘Why does God let bad things happen?’’ Or, ‘‘If there is a God, why do bad things happen?’’
Well, don’t ask a question if you don’t want an answer. Are you sure you want to know? Remember, if you don’t like the answer or don’t like or believe where it comes from, that’s your problem.
There are no victims in the world, and no villains. And neither are you a victim of the choices of others. At some level you have all created that which you say you detest and having created it, you have chosen it.
This is an advanced level of thinking , and it is one which all of you reach sooner or later. For it is only when they can accept responsibility for all of it that they can achieve the power to change part of it.
So long as you entertain the notion that there is something or someone else out there ‘doing it’ to you, you disempower yourself to do anything about it. Only when you say ‘I did this’ can you find the power to change it.
It is much easier to change what you are doing than to change what another is doing.
The first step in changing anything is to know and accept that you have chosen it to be what it is. If you can’t accept this on a personal level, agree to it through your understanding that We are all One.
Seek then to create change not because a thing is wrong, but because it no longer makes an accurate statement of Who You Are.
NOTE: this is the view of Donald

Let's Learn to Take That Leap of Faith .....
Pranav Khullar
The Way of Sorrows is marked in Jerusalem as the path taken by Jesus as He carried the Cross to Calvary.
The burden of history hung heavy in the morning air as I looked across at the Temple Mount of Jerusalem, Mount Moriah, sacred to all the three great Semitic faiths. For a city so deeply driven by faith and so sharply divided by history, this is a kind of common ground which draws all faithful.
Judaism believes that this is the ground of the ancient Temple of Solomon, and the Rock of Moriah is where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. To this day, prayers are offered at the Western Wall of the complex, popularly known as the Wailing Wall.
For Islam, the rock of Moriah over which stands the Dome, is the place of the Holy Prophet Muhammad's ascension to Heaven, the third most sacred place next only to Mecca and Medina. It is believed that Abraham brought his son Ishmael — from whom Muslims trace their ancestry — to this Rock, and not Isaac. I could see across in the distance another well-known summit, 300 feet higher than the city: The Mount of Olives, so closely associated with Jesus's life, a place where Jesus is said to have gone often for retreat and prayer.
At the foot of this Mount, the guide informed me, is the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus spent his last night, spoken of as the hour of His Passion, wherein he prepared Himself through prayer, for suffering: "Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me, nevertheless not my will, but thine be done" (Luke 24:42).
It is also where Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, and one is shown eight olive trees, which botanists say are 3,000 years old — actual witnesses to the Passion and Betrayal
of Christ.
The paradox of Jerusalem is that some of the noblest and grandest of visions of the oneness of man and brotherhood, from three ancient faiths, have sprouted from this ground, and it is also the place where more wars have been fought at its gates than in any other city in the world. Kierkegaard said that, "...man has made something of him, but is a stranger to him still..." Maybe what we really require is a giant leap of faith to overcome all conflict and killings.
"Religion helps us deal with what is important to the human spirit: Values, meaning, purpose and quality", wrote Prof Huston Smith while comparing religions. Good Friday and Easter should be seen as opportunities to ponder on the essentials of religion afresh, which bind and bond each person to the other, truths which still reverberate in the inner space of each man, beyond history and dogma.
Jerusalem is not merely a call to history, it is a call to the seminal tenets of monotheism, where not only God is one but all men are alike as well, where each man has that special covenant with God. "An eye for an eye can only end up making the world blind", said Mahatma Gandhi. The Via Dolorosa or The Way of Sorrows which is marked in Jerusalem as the path taken by Jesus as He carried the Cross to Calvary is also the larger metaphor for the path Jerusalem has chalked out for itself in its tryst with destiny. The Buddha said: "Out of great suffering... comes great peace".
As I left Jerusalem, my heart was brimming over for I remembered what TS Eliot said of Jerusalem: "Being the still point of the turning world..." I left reluctantly, nurturing the hope that out of the relics of history, peace might be stirring to life.
