Voting Machines vs. Paper Ballots!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a comparison and contrast of the differences between the uses of voting machines vs. paper ballots. First, let’s look at voting machines. What are voting machines? Voting machines are devices that are used by local, county, and state board of election offices. The use of voting machines process ballots much faster than regular paper balloting. Second, paper ballots are used traditionally to pencil in and or circle the choice of candidates on a certified piece of paper that is later tabulated and counted at a later date or immediately after the election.

The differences between the two types of voting practices are that machines process information much faster than those paper ballots that are counted by staff members; who are hired by the county, state, and national board of election offices for only a short term. Finally, in states such as North Carolina, voting machines are used during early voting as well as the general election. Whereas, in the State of Ohio; both voting machines and paper ballots are used during the early voting as well as the general election. Which of these methods are quicker to count votes?

Diverse Human Relationships

Let’s look at this for a moment. What is a relationship of this magnitude? A diverse human relationship is entirely different than most of any other relationship. This human relationship is intact and it’s based on desire, feeling, emotions, and personal interest. However, this relationship is also based on cultural background, ancestry, and uniqueness. This is a distinct quality human relationship that has history behind it. In this form of history, the family and religion as institutions are the primary emphasis.

Next, another characteristic of a diverse human relationship is the desire to stay together through economic tough times. Other quality of the human relationship is the desire of empowerment. Empowerment is an uplifting of people in the right direction. This also pertains to increasing the self esteem and the expectations of family and others that inside of communities. During the current recession that is currently taking place, the relationship between men, women, and children must remain intact. I am speaking about the institution of family. The institution of a family according to sociologist consists of men, women, and children.
Another distinct characteristic about family is the people that are in our corner; during our time of personal need.

Further, a group of people that stick together and stay together throughout a crisis is a relationship that remains strong. Let’s get back to the subject. A diverse human relationship is a long lasting human relationship that is tangible, intact, personal, honest, truthful, and a relationship that has a heighten sense of awareness. What I mean by this heighten sense of awareness is a value bearing form of relationship that goes hand in hand with each person. This is a shared interest by men, women, and children alike. This interest has a lot to do with the things that we share together, personal expectations, agreements, compliance, and set standards.

Moreover, a relationship of this magnitude comes with many, many, ideas and interest that each person has within themselves. Long ago, our principles come from the things that many have grown up with. Most of the things that interest people from our past as well as a set of boundaries that are maintained as a means for growth is what I am talking about here. What are some of your expectations that you hold onto personally? What are your personal values and feelings that you hold onto that are very important? This is the focus here when we talk about the specifics of a diverse human relationship. What are the things that you remember that still have your interest?

The Tea Party, Liberty Central Vs Democratic Party

This is a comparison and contrast paper that consists of a comparison of two major political parties. First and foremost, the Tea Party’s history has just started. Its history started when there was one individual who started a specific campaign against the current president’s legislation. This person is solely responsible for revising and persuading others to join a grassroots effort to try to overthrow our current form of democracy. The current chairman of this party who has not made any appearances on television as of late; has endorsed many political figures from the Republican Party as well as those who are trying to make a specified change in government. The history of the party is less than 4 years old. It’s that many of them are former President George W. Bush Voters who have supported his legislation. The groups that are responsible are as follows: the National Rifle Association, Conservative Group of America, current State Militia members, and those who voted along party lines in 2018 and have change their plans. There are over 1,000,000 members nationwide in the United States.

Second, the current Democratic Party will be emphasized right now. This is the older of the two parties. The history has started back in the 1800s. This party used to be one of a secret society consisting of bureaucrats and those who were on the upper level of the caste system. An example of the president who has assisted in the needs of the American People during the Great Depression is Franklin Roosevelt. This is the president who has enacted policies such as the American Deal and the Cash and Carry Program during the 1930s for allied forces during World War 2. He has also enacted his plan of the Keynesian Politics. This is an economic plan that is responsible for getting the country back on its feet. Keynesian economics is a macro economic plan that is tailored towards the needs of all Americans. This needs plan falls along all class systems.

Third, let’s compare the two parties and their economic plans. First, the Tea Party plan is to gain seats inside of the political arena that are currently occupied by the Democrats. Whereas, the Democrats are trying to hold onto their current seats, but the difference is that the policies from the previous president which was George W. Bush do not expire until December 31, 2010. Understand one thing, the American people’s patience has run out with the current administration. It’s that for me as a person, I am extremely patient.

I realize that my understanding of the political process is that if one president has anything into legislation at the moment, those policies must expire first before anything else can take place. I know one thing is that there are 435 members of the House of Representatives. There are at least 60% of these seats that are occupied by Democrats. The House of Representatives electoral process is based on population in the United States. On the other hand, the United States Senate has 100 seats. This is based on equality. There are 2 senators representing each state in the United States.

Fourth, the Tea Party is just a political effort consisting of members from other political parties such as Republicans who have an agenda on their own. Their personal agenda is the Pledge on America; which is to regain what they have lost during the 2016 Election Year. What exactly is this Pledge of America? America is waiting for the answer to this question. To conclude this comparison and contrast paper, I would like to say that the election process is simple; it’s for the people and by the people. There are people that we feel that deserve a chance to represent us as leaders in our states and governments.

An agenda is simply a program that is put into place or practice by someone or something. There is also a brand new party that exists and its leader is the wife of the Supreme Court Chief Clarence Thomas. This is called the Liberty Central Political Party. What is this political party? This is a mass conservative grassroots effort by her to rally support to gain political power for those who represent the conservative movement. This conservative movement is really one that is dominated by those who are wealthy and stable in their incomes and the member’s political experiences vary. The big question is who will win on November 6, 2018? Please Vote for the candidate who you personally feel will do a good job on this important date. No matter what your political ideology or values consists of for yourself; Please Vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

How to Defeat the Opioid Crisis!!!!!

Good Evening and God Bless You!!  I have a strategy on how to defeat the opioid crisis.  First, I want to inform all of you that drug use is a disease and a choice.  Second, it is time for parents to educate their children about drugs and peer pressure in schools as well as at home.  It is not going to be an easy task; when it comes to defeating this crisis.  I know that I am a former drug user myself.  I used marijuana and other drugs just to resolve all of my personal problems.  Third, I want to inform everyone that it is time for the U. S. Government to assist the 50 States in the United States and send additional assistance when it comes to helping addicts get clean and sober.

 Fourth, I want to inform everyone that instead of sending addicts to prison, they should be monitored electronically.  I know that the U. S. Government really do not have the money to pay for all of the things that the States really need to combat this problem.  It takes another 3 to 8 trillion dollars to deal with this problem.  I know that our President has allocated a total of 6 billion dollars when it comes to dealing with our road, bridges, and highways nationwide. Fifth, I want to inform everyone that our elected officials are exhausted when it comes to this problem.  This is very serious.  The elected officials need to make sure that all of the money is needed to deal with this problem.  I also know that the U. S. Border Patrol and The Coast Guard members are exhausted because they are working long hours and they are in need of help.

 The wall that President Trump is talking about will take years to build.  This will take over 20 years to build another wall nationwide from the State of Texas to California.  It will reduce and prevent drugs from being smuggled into the United States.  I know that Immigration is another issue that need to be resolved.  Sixth, as far as the opioid crisis is concerned, it will take everyone to get involved in resolving this issue.  I know that a lot of people really do not want to get involved when it comes to law enforcement.  I want to inform everyone nationwide that we need to do this together.

 I will do my part by helping other alcoholics and addicts when it comes to getting them through the 12 Steps.  I am sponsoring a few men in the Alcoholics Anonymous program.  I want to inform everyone that it is not very easy getting people to come to support group meetings.  There are so many people who really need help.  On May 2, 1990; I was responsible for giving up the high cost of low living.  It means that I completely stopped drinking and smoking weed.  I know that I will do my part when it comes to helping those individuals who are willing to help themselves.  I know that I have a mental illness as well as a substance abuse problem that is in remission.

 Therefore, it is time for me to help everyone who really want the help getting off of drugs and alcohol.  Seventh, I want to inform everyone that our fellow politicians are frustrated with each other as well as dealing with the issues that are complicating fellow Americans.  I want to tell everyone that it is not easy dealing with finances and political issues.  The drug crisis is a major crisis that has been into existence for over 50 years.  I want to inform everyone that it is very difficult working with someone who is intoxicated or high off drugs.  Eighth, I really feel that it is going to take an entire village to resolve this drug crisis.  The opioid crisis has been a major news and political issue for many years now.  The biggest problem is that our neighborhoods need complete revitalization.

 There are so many abandoned houses in our neighborhoods that it is making the residents angry and leave their communities.  Ninth, I want to inform all of you that it is time for everyone to get involved and clean up our communities.  It is going to take everyone to help out in this matter.  It is time for our President of the United States to take a complete tour of every city and state in the United States; so that we all can receive a peace of mind.  It is time for a complete change in our communities first.  It is time for the citizens in the United States to get involved and help the politicians to get the money that is needed to put an end to the opioid crisis.  God Bless All of You!!

Excommunication and Persecution
What is excommunication? Let’s look at what it really feels like to be excommunicated for a brief moment. Excommunication is when someone is not being spoken to. There is not any contact whatsoever. A person can feel excommunicated inside of their own home with their own family. Whenever there is an altercation or argument, people inside of the residence do not communicate with each other until there is a resolution to a specific problem. Just because a person is writing about this, does not mean there is a specific problem. There are solutions when it comes to excommunication. First, find out where it is coming from and resolve it. How I personally feel about it, I have been going through this in my own personal life for a very long period of time. There are issues in my own family that are not resolved, but I rely on God or a Power greater then myself to resolve it. Second, it is really up to the individual who is going through this to deal with this in a way that is constructive.
For example, there are counselors that are available for those who are in extreme dire need. Third, animals and nature are a very effective way of dealing with hurt and pain. An example of this consists of having animals as a means of healing. Animals as pets are therapy!!! Animal therapy as an alternative is extremely effective!!! Do you know that having a cat or dog inside of the home, heals a person and it provides unconditional love between animal and human. However, there are those who enjoy critic sizing others through the words from their own mouths, that backbiting itself is a sin. In the book of Ecclesiastes 11:11, it talks about a snake that is not charmed that is capable of biting. This is no different when it comes to people. People will bit you in the same way that a serpent would. This is the reason why others wait on their Eternal Blessing from God Himself. When God bless a person with that special someone, it is forever.
What is persecution? Persecution is when one is condemned by others for reasons that are unknown. Persecution can affect people in many different ways. It affects them physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically, financially, spiritually, and personally. Persecution can also become self inflicted!!!! A person can persecute themselves because of a lack of motivation and effort to progress. Persecution can also affect others by the way they are treated inside of their own community. People can mistreat others due to the misunderstanding of another. If this person is not confronted face to face over this problem that they are having towards another, it is not the victims fault. It is the fault of the one who is afflicting the damage towards another.
Physical persecution is when someone uses measures that are in peril against themselves. For example, this also can mean that a person refuses to deal with issues that are affecting them. There are also other reasons why people hurt themselves. A person can hurt themselves based on the pressures of life that are extremely difficult for them to deal with!!!! Furthermore, this also means that there are others that are bothering them so bad that they also need to be confronted. It is really not the person’s fault to begin with!!! This is also the fault of the other person who is causing physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual torment towards another. There are many people who just do not want to see another person happy. This is called discontentment!! This form of discontentment is called jealousy to begin with. Someone can resent you based on who you are as a person. People can dislike you based on what you can do for yourself. This is an extreme profound fear of another person’s success is the fault of the persecutors themselves. If there is a fear of someone else being successful and you are not, it is your fault after all. This means that you have a real problem with your own self that you are really afraid to deal with.
Mental persecution is when a person says things that can hinder them from their own successes. An example of this is saying I can’t!!!! Another example of this is telling yourself that you cannot do anything because you are afraid of failure. There are friends and members inside of your own family that can hinder you from success. This is classified as mental abuse!!! Mental Abuse is words from the mouth of another that are extremely painful that it inhibits another person from freedom. Sometimes people can tell you out of their own mouth that they love you when they really do not. This can also be classified as mental torture!!! Why be around others who are always a negative influence on you to begin with. Inside of a relationship, if your spouse or significant other is really putting you down all of the time, why deal with them. If it is your own choice as a man or woman to deal with someone who is bad for you, this is really your fault.
Spiritual Abuse is when a person does not give God a chance to begin with. When a person does not give God a chance to be involved in their lives, this is not God’s Fault, it is the fault of the individual. You already know that God is always there whenever you really need Him. This really means that God and Jesus Christ should be the focal point in anyone’s life. God and Jesus Christ are involved in my life right now because I want it!!! I crave God and Jesus Christ on a daily basis. I read my Bible and say my prayers each and every single day. I also attend church services on a regular basis. I am not saying that I am the Most Perfect Person when I am not.

I am just like everyone else, I am a human being. According to Charles Darwin, human beings are called Social Animals. A social animal is one who uses a language that is audible and is heard from others. Language can be spoken both verbally and nonverbally. Being called a social animal is not to offend anyone. This is based on theory from a person who had atheist views to begin with. This person did not believe in God to begin with. He did but his viewpoint had changed over a specified period of time. Giving God more of your time each day as well as prayer and meditation really helps.
In conclusion, I want to mention all of this because I really feel that life is really what a person makes of it. It is based on chances and efforts that we make in our own lives. I really feel at this time that God is the one who can bring about change in anyone’s life. As long as you give God and Jesus Christ a chance to really clean up your own life. Things will get better for you. At least I can say that all of my mistakes from the past have been erased by God Himself. However, inside of the eyes of a man or woman, I will always go through stress and strain. This is because they do not know the real person inside of me. This means that they did not know me personally to begin with. They criticized me when they really did not know me. My relationships from the past were life’s lessons to me. This means that the women who were involved in my life did not appreciate me for the person that I am to begin with.
I was never appreciated nor accepted as a member of the human race by them anyway. This includes the online relationship that I have had with women in the past. There was never a purpose in the relationship. These were women who had taken advantage of someone who was only doing God’s Work. Anytime that a women deceives an honest man by telling him what they really need instead of addressing the problem to begin with, this person did not like him in the first place. Therefore, if a person is going to establish a relationship with the member of the opposite sex, it should be based on honesty, truth, love, peace, happiness, and dedication. Loyalty is very important in a relationship. This means that people need to be just dedicated to spend the rest of their lives with the person that they are willing to deal with. This is extremely important. No matter what a person goes through in their own personal life, God will repair all damages. Man and Women will have to accept the fact that relationships are based upon effort, time, dedication, and the willingness to spend quality time with that special someone. Just being there emotionally, physically, mentally, and physically, and spiritually is extremely important.

A River of Tears

A river of tears is not always negative. A river of tears means that your body is healing from pain. A river of tears itself consists of the water that is flushed from the eyes itself. Our tear ducts that are located right above the eye sockets itself. Debris that is flushed out of our eyes themselves helps us to see things clearly. The brain itself also sends messages to the other parts of the body to let organs, cells, as well as intricate body parts to let us know that it is time to relax. The brain also sends messages to the rest of the body to adjust after extended periods and demands that we place on ourselves.
This pertains to stress that we had put ourselves through based on the demands that we have to deal with. This demand consists of physical, mental, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and holistic demands that we absorb in our lives. No matter what the world thinks of me, it is my time that I am spending with God each day. It does not matter what you are doing each day, take a break and allow God or a power that is greater than yourself to talk with you. As a man there is nothing wrong with allowing your river of tears to flow. A river of tears is not a sign of weakness. It is a time to allow yourself to heal. No matter what others think of you, there is not anything wrong with allowing your river of tears in public. Preferably, it is best to go directly inside of your own secret closet and allowing yourself to heal. Healing really feels good.
At least one thing, you will feel much better as soon as it is all over. My river of tears is a replacement for medication. For example, a river of tears is a whole lot better than taking medication for pain. It is also a replacement for recreation drugs and alcohol. My prescription for pain right now is my river of tears. It is a time for healing and a time for an entire body repair. Remember one thing, only God can judge me. Mankind itself can only form an opinion and make direct observations. This does not mean that the opinions of others are not honored. I do honor opinions of others and respect those who make them.
When it pertains to a river of tears, this means that I am a person who has survived a great deal in my entire personal life. Through the choices that I have made, whether they have been good or bad, I have made these choices and I am living with the consequences and repercussions from these choices. It is like Karma; what goes around comes around. This is a universal band of energy that deals with aspects of human behavior. Our cycle of life has not only cyclical in nature, but it also pertains to life and how we make the best of that life that we have for ourselves. A river of tears is not always a bad thing after all. It is a personal time for healing and it makes you feel better in the long run.

I am sorry for sharing about this experience but there is not anything wrong with a man sharing his sensitive side anyway. My river of tears is an expression of my sensitive side when it pertains to the opposite sex. My tear that comes directly out of my eyes does not mean that I am a weak individual. This is a time for healing and disclosing whatever is bothering me from the inside out.
This does not mean that I am bearing and storing baggage. It is best to release it in positive ways. This means that I am being proactive in all of my actions by demonstrating positive ways of dealing with pain. For example, taking a nice walk, and being able to actively participate in sports is a way of making sure that you are releasing stress in constructive ways. There are alternatives that are highly constructive. These alternatives are quite nice. For instance, attending church and religious services is a great way of releasing all of the burdens that are inside of our lives. Taking all of your concerns to God inside of his house makes you feel better from the inside out. This replace going to the store or inside of a neighborhood and dealing with the temptations of society itself. I know that I am okay each and every single day with sharing and revealing my river of tears. Thank you for reading the river of tears. God Loves You and So Do I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Sincerely,
Anthony Joseph Hopkins

What is wrong with our young people in 2018?

This is a very important question.  What is wrong with our young people in the United States?  First, I would like to say that the United States is the most violent in the world.  This is simply because there is too much access to guns and other weapons.  I would like to say that our young people are being raised by young people themselves.  This is simply because there are too many people having sex before marriage.  Therefore, I am talking about people that are younger than 40 years old.  I would like to inform everyone that according to the United States Department of Corrections 60% of the prison population is younger than 30 years old.  This is simply because our young people are gaining access to weapons instead of walking away from a fight.  For example, I have 2 nephews that were released from prison recently.  I am happy that they are out of prison.  One of my nephews was arrested for robbery, and the other felonious assault.

Next, I have a close friend who was released from prison within the past 6 months.  He was in prison for kidnapping and aggravated robbery.  He spent a total of 22 years behind bars.  I want to inform all of you that God has to take care of all of us.  According to 2^nd Corinthians 5:10 says We must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, so that each of us must receive what is due to us while inside of the body, whether good or bad.  This means that we are going to stand in front of Jesus Christ, and He will review all that we have done inside of the body.  However, we all have a chance to repent of all of our sins before it is too late.

Moreover, I want to inform all of you that our young people are becoming much more violent than they were 30 years ago.  I want to inform all of you that when I was younger, I will admit that I used to carry guns and other weapons as a means of protection.  I also will admit that I fought with my hands as well.  I have won some of my fights and I have lost some of my fights.  From 1972 to 1981, I used to get beaten up by girls and boys.

It is that I was intimidated of the next person in the past.  Currently, I prefer to walk away from all of my fights.  In 2018, God has me on a mission.  I am supposed to save as many young people as possible.  I know that I am not perfect, but it is that our young people really need our help.  I have to help every young person as I can.  I know that it is not easy because our young people are much more advanced than we were when we were there age.  To be honest, I want to say that I am really proud of our young people for graduating from high school and college.  My niece earned her Bachelors of Arts degree from the University of Toledo.  She graduated last year.  Right now, she is enrolled into Graduate School at the University of Toledo.

In Addition, I want to inform all of you that our young people are much more aggressive and stubborn than I was years ago.  I want to say this.  Our young people are very disrespectful.  They really do not respect their elders.  I am talking about their parents and other people who are older than they are.  I want to inform everyone that in the United States, our young females are revealing themselves online to everyone.

They are showing their bra and panties as a means of making a fashion statement.  When the internet first came out, you rarely seen females disrespecting themselves all of the time.  I want to inform everyone that things have changed.  In 2018, these young females are fighting each other on Facebook as a means of making a statement.  I want to inform everyone that 30 years ago, fighting online was unheard of.

Also, I want to inform all of you that in 1987 when I first started using the internet, I did not see any of what I am looking at right now.  It really hurt me to see my young people who are African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Caucasians doing the things they are doing today in 2018.  I am really hurt because the internet is supposed to be a learning tool.  It is designed for learning and academics.  For instance, I am really hurt because our young people are not learning anything online.  The internet is designed as entertainment more than a learning application.  I understand that people have rights and even Due Process of Law.  I am really in pain right now because our young people are apathetic.  This means that they do not really care about anything, nor themselves.

Finally, I want to inform all of you that our basic systems are design for our young people to fail.  I am talking about our Basic Social Systems such as Education, Religion, Government, Economy, and Family are failing.  These Social Systems are designed for everyone to fail.  It hurts me to say this, but I have learned more in college than high school.

A Bridge Between Sin, Transgressions, and Jesus Christ

This blog is very simple. This is titled a bridge between sin, transgressions, and Jesus Christ. First, I would like to mention the definitions of sin, transgressions, and trespasses. 1. Transgressions are actions that are enormously and excessively wrong. You knew you were wrong and you did it anyway. 2. Trespasses are when saints miss the mark. This means that you are intentionally missing the mark on purpose. 3. Sin is when a person commits a mistake or an offense that is either minor or serious in nature. 4. Debt is a property and ownership; you owe something because of your actions. Sin is really you have broken a law. Sin is that you have broken a known law and the transgressions are the repercussions that come afterwards.

Next, according to John A. Studebaker, Jr; a sin is one of the greatest obstacles of the church today is this very issue. We no longer see ourselves as sinners’ in need of forgiveness. Perhaps, sin used to be a problem, but now we’ve outgrown that. So while the church has a solution for the problem of sin, it’s a non-problem in the eyes of most Americans at least not a serious problem.

Further, when it comes to sin, transgression, and Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ is the bridge to mankind and sin. What I am trying to say here is that in my personal life, I know that according to the 2nd step in AA/NA there is a power that is greater than myself that can restore me to sanity. This is one of my steps that allow me to realize that I am not all by myself. God and Jesus Christ are there whenever I need them. I know that Jesus Christ is the mediator between man and God. I know for myself that God is able to do all things; as well as Jesus Christ His Son. I know that my expectations might be different than any average person. I know that what I expect to do is survive in a changing society that has many different people from various nationalities.

In addition, I know that sin is both avoidable and non avoidable in many cases. I know that no matter how I am in my life, I cannot avoid sin. I can avoid committing any form of sin; especially; the violent acts that exist in America. I know for myself as a person in recovery, I can control my speech and tongue whenever I am talking with others. I know that I am still a work in progress. This means that I am not a perfect person, but as long as there is Jesus Christ in my life as my personal savior, I know that I am healed from all of my injuries. I am healed from all of my sicknesses and illnesses. I know that Jesus Christ is the one who is responsible for blessing each day of the week.

Moreover, we all have fallen short of the glory of God. I know that we are all born into sin. Ever since the first sin had taken place between Adam and Eve, it has been very difficult for people to accept the first concept of original sin. For some, many believe that the original sin was only a myth. This is according to Charles Darwin Theory as well as those who do not believe in God. Just because the first sin had taken place, does not mean that mankind is completely doomed.

We all still have a chance to be with Jesus Christ. I still have a chance to be with Him because I believe that He died for my sins personally and Jesus Christ died and came back to life. Therefore, I believe Jesus Christ is the bridge between sin, transgression, debt, and trespasses. Everybody on earth belongs to God. The Lord said to me personally in a dream that He is not finished with me yet. This means that God has a great deal of tasks for me to complete for Him. Jesus Christ has expectations for us as well. Jesus Christ is somebody; he is a spirit that exists inside of all of us. Holiness is on top of the line. When you become a child of God, you are somebody. All souls belong to God. Even if you commit sin itself, your soul belongs to Christ. Call on Jesus; help is immediate. Keep on praying because praying helps when it comes to communicating with Jesus Christ.

Also, grace is something that you didn’t deserve. Grace is a gift. This is a special gift that God has for man through His son Jesus Christ. We have to accept the gift. We should accept this through faith. Grace is an unmerited favor. Faith is the knowledge of knowing who God is with going through judgment. It is the knowledge if knowing Jesus without proof; not of works. It is not enough. Sanctifying faith is when we do our works because it is your worship to the Lord.

Finally, we are alive in Jesus Christ each day of our living lives. We will be lifted up and sit with Him each day as long as we believe. This is my bridge between Jesus Christ and myself. I am trying to say that a bridge between God, Jesus Christ, man, and sin is very important. This is a bridge that is very important in our lives. For instance, God is in charge of everything in life. Jesus Christ is second in command and man- himself as well as women is third and final when it comes to the bridge of mankind. The sins that men/women commit are the choices that they make in their lives and they must learn how to repent and confess to each of our personal transgressions.

We must have a prayerful life. We must also read our Bibles and physically must attend church on a regular basis in order to become successful as Christians. Although we are the temple of God as long as we are still living in our mortal bodies according to 1st Corinthians 3rd chapter we are a living temple for God. If our works are God’s ordained for us. What should our attitude be? We better be doing what God and Jesus Christ tell us to do. God and Jesus Christ are healers and deliverers of the saints. Call on Jesus Christ and He will answer all of your prayers. If sin causes afflictions; Jesus Christ will deliver you from all of your problems. Jesus Christ paid the debt for all of our transgressions, sins, debts, and trespasses.

My New Associations with God & the Saints

By

Anthony Joseph Hopkins

2765 Wentworth Avenue #607

Dayton, Ohio 45406

This is titled my new associations with God and the saints for a specific reason. It is simply because my new associations with God, Jesus Christ, and the Saints are very important to me. My salvation and your salvation came from Jerusalem, but first from Galilee. Jesus died victoriously for the world and for all of our sins. This means to me that I am a free man in Christ Jesus. Father, into my hands I command out my spirit. In 1 Corinthians 15:56-58 is emphasized because it pertains to the importance of salvation, death, and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God for the victory in Jesus for saving mankind. Jesus died for me and everyone else so that we will earn a second chance at life. Always remember where God had brought you from.

We are here to do our Father’s will; Psalms 31:5. By his strips we are healed. The passion of the Christ was extremely graphic and it was a real depiction of the resurrection and life of Jesus Christ. A Steven Speilbush directed movie that had made a strong impact in the lives of many Americans. This is what Jesus went through. He was aware of God’s presence. He invoked God as His Lord and as His father. Father into my hands I command my spirit. He died confidently, victoriously, and violently.

New Associations with God, Jesus Christ, and the saints means to me that I am supposed to be around members of my church that I attend on a regular basis. I am supposed to feel connected with my new associations. These are believers of God and Jesus Christ. I love my church; which is Greater Allen AME Church in Dayton, Ohio. I love all of my church members. I also love the atmosphere as well as the church itself. The church itself at one time used to be a library a very long time ago. New associations to me are being around my fellow believers, family, friends, and around those who have the same love for Jesus as I do.

How confidently do we trust the scriptures in the old and New Testament in the Holy Bible? Try to ask God to have your word in your heart. Do not hide your words from my heart. Maintain your words inside of me Jesus always. The people that I am involved with are very happy and inspiring. My AA sponsor is a person who inspires me on a daily basis. He is like a father that I really did not have in my own life. He is a man of God. He encourages me each day to read God’s word and to remain positive. We need to learn how to speak the word of God to each other on a daily basis. We need to stop speaking of the world. The world has many challenges on a daily basis. We need to be available for one another in Christian love.

I will fight for my life each day for God and Jesus Christ. My new associations are people who love me for the person that I am. My new associations are encouraging, positive, respectful, constructive, and eager to tell me what is right and truthful. In my life today, I strive to stay positive each day. I like to say positive things each day. I am eliminating all of the things that are negative and ridding things from my past. I do this by closing the door on Satan. You can close the door on Satan by changing your way of thinking and avoiding people who are a negative influence. You can be healed through the things we say that are positive.

We all must start being accountable for your own words and actions. What comes out of your mouth reveals your personality, fear, sadness, depression, anxiety, and anger. Do not hang around people who are selfish and nonbelievers. I have noticed that most of my non-believing friends and enemies do not attend church. They say things to you to turn you away from God and His blessings from you. The enemies that I have right now are trying to overturn my positive confessions that I have for God and turn it into negativity. I stay busy for God and Jesus Christ by praying, fasting, loving others, doing for others, and reading my bible each day. I say busy blessing everything and thanking God for what I have each day. Scriptures of interest are as follows: 1 Corinthians 3:1, James 3:10, Deuteronomy 28:5-9, Psalms 100:4, 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

God’s intent of humility of our lives means that we are supposed to love one another and stop criticizing each other all of the time. When a person is judgmental and discontent, this means that his problems tend to be inside of himself. He shares his disagreements with others all of the time without trying to resolve them. I am a person that likes to get things done. My friends know that I am a person who gets things done. I know that I have been distracted lately with the illegal brain implant called synthetic telepathy. I know that I have been changing my way of thinking and doing things by reading the sword of the spirit; which is the Holy Bible. God wants the people of the church to work and get the word out.

I understand that there is a manifold wisdom. This wisdom is very serious and it has a lot to with God dealing with us personally. God has a direction for each of us to take. What direction are you going to take? Are you going to make everyone aware of Jesus message? I am trying my best to make sure that everyone is aware of my smile, light, feelings, and emotions when it comes to Jesus Christ. You must pray for the Holy Spirit. We all belong to God and Jesus Christ. This is a life long journey and task. We are called to serve God. We are all a light to all of the nations. The mystery is the churches that get to come to heaven. There is a divine meaning of the word co-heirs-means owner of property. On the other hand, the word co-inheritors mean a person who receives the property after the owner does. Finally, the word co- members are members of the church. We are all members of Jesus Christ and a work in progress.

The saints of the church are members of God’s Kingdom. The church is really inside of our hearts. The church is what we carry inside of our heart each day. According to 1 Corinthians 3:16 says do you know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? The answer is yes, we are the temple of God. We are God’s Children no matter whether we are men, women, and children in the flesh. Our job as people is supposed to teach, preach, and serve the message of the gospel of God and Jesus Christ. My new associations are those who are members of the church who are believers and who are reading, preaching, teaching, healing the sick, and helping the poor in need. My new association begins with God and Jesus Christ because it has a lot to do with our temple that we bear inside of us. We are the walking temple of God.

In conclusion, the meaning of new associations with God, Jesus, Christ, and the Saints means to me is that I am a temple of God. Each day I live, I am inside of the light of Jesus. We are all supposed to be walking in the same spirit in the same way that Jesus Christ walked and to share His love with others. The message that we are supposed to carry is love. Love is what we are supposed to carry and spread it each living day. My new associations are many people that come from many churches and people that I have grew with. My I have friends that I have grown up with since the 1970s that are very close to me. I consider my friends as members of my own family. There was a period of time that my family members and I weren’t very close, so I used to visit friends and fellowship with my church members.

I know that what ever happen in my past, I cannot keep being it up all of the time. It causes problems in my relationships with people. This is why I make it my business to avoid people from my past; especially those who are negative. I will pray for my enemies and assist them if necessary. I know for myself that I cannot forget the past nor do I wish to shut the door on it. I can only allow God to fix the past and those who have taken advantage of me. I know that I have done things in my past to hurt others, but at least I have an urge to apologize and move on. I know that I am on Step 8 in my AA/NA program which requires direct amendments. This means that I am supposed to apologize to everyone that I have hurt in any way. I am supposed to ask them whether there is anything that I can do to make all of my wrongs right. At least repair the damages from the past. This is my objective at the present time. I am going to make amends with everyone and be around all of my fellow members of Christ.

My losses from the past will be turned to gains by God Himself. This means that anything that I have lost in the past due to my enemies taking advantage of me, I will get it back. I know for myself that whenever prayers go up; blessings come right down. I know that I have a long way to go in my journey in life. I know that whenever I hear the voices of the thief, this means that Satan is trying to take you away from here. I know that the issues of the past I cannot focus on right now. The past will only create additional problems. There are times that people from your past sometimes want you right where they are. Like they say misery loves company. I am refusing their negative company right now. I have a future ahead of me. This is because God is not with me yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for reading my blog.

Sincerely,

Anthony Joseph Hopkins

Men, Women, and Behavior

This is a blog that pertains to the differences between men, women, and behavior. The reasons why there are differences in behavior between men and women are simple. First, men are the first species to be created by God. However, men have an entirely different way of behaving and communicating from women. Second, men are prone to crying; it’s that men tend to withhold their feelings and tears.

Men are conditioned to become mentally tough; when they are not. At least this goes for some. Men are trained earlier in their lives to deal with their emotions entirely different than women. Let me explain this in detail. Men, while they were little boys were always around their fathers a lot. Women on the other hand were inside of the house. The reason for this is simply because mothers didn’t want their girl playing outside and getting hurt. I can understand this because I have 3 sisters. My mother was very overprotective of my sisters.

Women tend to handle responsibilities a whole lot better than men. This is simply because girls mature faster than boys. Whereas boys handle maturity and responsibility and this is based on responsibility that is learned earlier on as a child. I had to learn how to responsibility as a little boy because my mother had to deal with things away from the home. Therefore, I was the oldest and I had to take care of the family.

Next, this has a lot to do with age and sibling order. This has a lot to do with the oldest to the youngest. When a man becomes a father, he has to learn how to condition and to learn how to take care of children. This has a whole lot to do with child rearing or how he was raised as a child. This also has a lot to do with how he was treated as a child himself. This also applies to women in the same way. The only difference is that women are the bearers of children. They are the only species that is created by God that can give birth to children.

Further, men rely more on ego and their ability to control their environment than woman. Why is this? Men have always wanted control in any relationship. Women are passionate, considerate, understanding, patient, and they know men a lot better than men know themselves. Women are the detectives in any relationship. I say this personally because this has applied in all of my relationships with them. Women offer a great deal of advice that makes sense. This is based on maturity and the ability to become strong communicators. I have always listened to my elders that were women growing up because they are responsible for raising me. I really didn’t have my father around and my grandparent raised me as well as my mother.

Moreover, men are sometimes one sided in their communication. This is simply because they have always wanted control in any of their relationships. Women can become the same way in most cases. When it comes to the environment, some people can allow surroundings to become a distraction. Men and women tend to engage in communication that intimidates others. Men tend to become jealous of other men because of status and class. Like they say, all human behavior is learned. According to social psychologists, most would say that 90% of human behavior is learned. As children we learn how to conduct ourselves from being around our parents. I say this is true because the home is where a child first learns how to develop their personality, values, and understandings of what is right and wrong, and his habits and other behaviors. Men tend to learn how to control others and their personal environment through various behaviors.

In addition, women are the second species to be created by God through the rib of man; while he slept. This is inside of the Book of Genesis in the Holy Bible. Women are very gentle and emotional creatures. Women are intelligent, educated, and they communicate differently than men. Women have a way of communicating than men. They learn from each other in ways that are very different. I say this because my sisters used to be around their female friends and they did want boys around. Boys behaved in the same way. This is how both men and women learn how to keep things private.

Finally, I have as a person learned how to develop as a person by being around both my caretakers and my friends. I lived with my grandparents for several years. My grandmother used to take me to church all of the time. I lived around women all of my life. I have learned how to respect women and receive their advice personally. I know that the emphasis was education and leaning how to become a man. I have lived with my mother as well. A person’s behavior varies from person to person and this is based on what their personal values were themselves. I am a 45 year old man who is not afraid to cry in front of others. I am an emotional creature just like everyone else. I am also still learning a whole lot about life. No matter how old you are as person, you still have a lot to learn from each other. We are human beings with needs, wants, desires, passions, determination, and the drive to achieve. I have learned from everyone I have been around, even those who I do not know personally.

Sincerely,
Anthony Joseph Hopkins
