Everything is not making sense!

THINGS THEY STEAL

 Something is wrong. Something is missing. It seems that no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you pray, no matter the number of battle fronts, victories, losses, takeovers, policies, administrations, approaches, angles and opinions....the dots never seem to connect. The picture never comes completely into focus. The plan never comes totally to fruition. Always a setback, always a frustration. Everything is just not making sense.

 So. Why is that? It seems to me that there are pieces missing. Or perhaps roadblocks have been erected to keep us from our ultimate goals. If we float way back, to say....50,000 feet in history’s sky, we can begin to see that there are indeed pieces of the puzzle missing, stretches of road have been blown up. Somebody has been creeping out in the night to thwart our plans and slow our progress. Who? Why? Let’s find out.

 The purpose of this book is not to cast blame. Lord knows we could have lots of fun and start numerous, endless wars if we just cast the blame at each other, or better yet at anonymous others. The purpose of this book is to identify what, if anything, is standing in the way of humanity’s effort to better themselves. And then to trace the footprints of the thugs and thieves of peace back to their hideouts. Maybe ask them outside for a chat. Maybe then we can get to the bottom of why they set these traps. Why do they steal our opportunities for peace and prosperity? And can we take back what they have stolen?

 The ultimate goal here is to establish grace, balance, love, fun, joy and freedom in the lives of those around us and in ourselves. it is my firm belief that we are special creatures designed with special abilities and with special responsibilities. When these amazing gifts are secreted away from us, and we delegate those responsibilities and gifts to “others”, we are then forfeiting our access to the blessings that come with assuming and executing the things we are able and privileged to do, namely to live free and prosperous in harmony with our world, its inhabitants and its Creator.

 I have a tremendous amount of hope for us.
