The Need to Ignore, Part I

Well folks, I did promise this church that their post would remain at the top o' the line, until such a time as they stop filing charges against this father, stop supporting the Pritchards in their fostering stolen children, and as soon as the Pritchards stop taking in foster children, as presented to them by DHS.  So here's how all that's gonna work.

I will either be adding to this post, or I will delete it, add my post, then repost this one.  So this will, I guess, be my "flagship" post, until all I have asked is done.

Needless to say, nothing has been done...except the filing of false 1st degree Harassment charges against this father, in an effort to stop him from a. Attending pertinent hearings that are coming up, in which I will be bringing my felony charges against DHS and all involved in our legal 3-ring circus.. as well as attending b. the appeal to the termination...if Judge William A. Price would ever get off his assets and get out a freekin' order so I can.  In the meantime, I'm sorry you will have to dig under this one for the newest stuff, but I promise that anything that comes out after (or below, as it were) this post will be well worth the dig, trust that.  Keep on truckin'...that's what I say.  On to Washington then!!  :D

*************************************************************************************************

Ain't that something.

I sent a copy of the recording of the removal from the mother to the foster parents, in an effort to convince them they need to get out of the foster care business.  It would seem that ignoring the evidence and continuing to speak to the enemy in order to stop the father is what DHS and the Pritchards now have in mind.  So, I guess it's back to the church, their support system, right??  Thank God for the right to free speech...

So anyway, the FIRST FAMILY CHURCH, 317 S.E. Magazine Rd., in Ankeny, Iowa, has chosen to support the Pritchards in their efforts to continue to foster children ILLEGALLY SNATCHED from legitimate loving parents.

And here we are kids....the last and final of the Power Of: Series.  You knew it was coming to this, didn't you?

You've heard me say that this country is just one big Sodom and Gomorrah, I'm sure.  That a pillar of salt is way too good for us.  This might be truer than you know.

See, we are, as of this day and age, a Godless nation.  It of course didn't used to be that way.  Remember back when we were great?  No, I imagine a lot of you don't.  I don't.  But I remember it wasn't all bad back in my day.  Did anyone notice how much less great we got as we went along?  I sure do.  And it gets worse everyday.  Any reason anyone might be able to think of, as to why that might be???  Maybe a couple thousand?

I can think of a few doozies.  How about when we took prayer out of our schools?  Or maybe when we deleted "And God and our Country" out of the Pledge of Allegience?  Hard to say really when it happened.  But one thing's for sure, the more we turn our backs on God in our nation, the more God seems to turn his back on us as well.  I really don't think we can take much more backsliding...do you?

Bring our faith back people.  I don't know about you, but I don't have a lot of love for fire and brimstone, it never was one of my favorites.  Put God back where he belongs...in our schools, in our families, in our country, and for God's sake and yours, back in your lives...before it's too late.  :D

The Power Of: Part VII - Life

When I was born, I was so shocked and amazed, that I didin't talk for a whole year and a half.

I'm not feeling alright today,

I'm not feeling that great,

I'm not catching on fire today,

Love has started to fade, 

I'm not going to smile today,

I'm not gonna laugh,

You're out living it up today,

I've got dues to pay

When the grave digger puts on the foreceps,

The stonemason does all the work,

The barber can give you a haircut,

The carpenter can take you out to lunch 

Now, I just want to play on my panpipes,

I just want to drink me some wine,

As soon as you're born, you start dying,

So you might as well have a good time,

Sheep go to Heaven,

Goats go to Hell,

Sheep go to Heaven,

Goats go to Hell

Here we are folks...another chapter in the "Power Of" series.  You'll notice that we must be getting towards the end...more towards the end of my life.  More towards the end of my legal life (in this fashion, anyway)...more towards the end of this nasty part of my life.  And more towards the end of my more free life, I'm afraid.

I want to put in here that, even though this is more positive in its message, that there's a down side too.  See, I won't be doing this for a while.  How long of a while won't be clear until April Fools Day.  It may be a month...or it might be a year.  I guess I won't know, until it happens.  When and if it does, my interesting Judeo-Christian friends, you will know.

But, on the more plus side, just 2 things.  First, the Mighty Sword WILL have his day in court, come hell or high water.  See, April One is also the Assessment Appeal.  I WILL be in attendance.  No way I'm going to miss out on 27 witnesses, and a chance to completely clear both of our names of this slander and libel. What's more, they are NEVER going to get me to sign a Child Abuse Registry for ten years...not for this crap.  I will NOT.  EVER.

Second, I WILL finish this series.  Hence, two posts in a row, with a third right on its coattails.  And, in case you hadn't noticed, we're going over the top three Powers.

Why do I mention jail?  Well, remember the voicemails?  Harassment.  3rd Degree, and a simple misdemeanor...but remember kids, DHS is involved...and they're trying to bring this on me for the last 8 months.  Let's not mention that they tried this before, and failed because they had no real proof of it...but they were very good at pushing my buttons the last few weeks, and I'm sure they're going to have a few counts built up, as well as an asshole of a judge to push for the max sentence.  What's more, since this defendant has been in hiding, well, I'm sure they're going to be standing at the ALJ's door waiting for me to get there. 

This, however, will never, EVER get me to shut up.  I think you all know that.  Nothing will stop me from what I've set out to do, I don't care how much they torture me.  I've endured my share of pain, nothing they can do will hurt this defendant.

Anyway...back to Life.  Life sucks.  But it's supposed to.  If it's easy, you're doing something wrong.  The road to life is a bumpy one, and that bumpiness continues right to the end.  But without that life, you have...well, nothing.  Nothing to do, nothing to live for, nothing to do with it, and no footprints to leave.  You can't share your life with others, you can't live your life to the fullest, and you can't die...which means you can't and won't be living again.

So what IS the power of life?  Eternal life.  Living forever.  Loving forever.  Experiencing all of the powers for all of eternity, with the ones you've loved.  That makes Life a Power to die for.  :D

The Power of: Part VI - Love

The power of love is a curious thing
make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
more than a feeling that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
make a bad one good make a wrong one right
power of love that keeps you home at night

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
that's the power makes the world go'round

You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
That's the power of love

They say that all in love is fair
yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
when it gets hold of you
and with a little help from above
you feel the power of love

Boy, this one's been done to death, has it not?

There is, however, a damned good reason for this.  This one, of course, is probably in the top three of all-time important powers, the Creme de la Creme, the Master Race of Powers.  Love can make you do stupid things, smart things, unusual things, amazing things, dumb things, incredible things...it's truly the Prince of Powers, of that you can be most certain.

We of the inferior human race...and, even more so, of the more inferior American race, are forgetting what Love is like.  This power is beginning to be a lost art.  I can point out some good reasons for this.

For one, we've chosen to abandon the Originator of Love.  The spring from whence the stuff flows.  The unconditional inventor of the stuff.  But we'll cover that in the next "Power Of" post, right?  You know from where I come.

Two, our propensity towards being alone.  Detaching ourselves.  Shutting out the rest of the Earth.  Nobody wants this; or at least, no one USED to want this.  Nobody used to want to be alone.  But see, there's a side effect to love that no one wants any more of; but unfortunately this emotion just seems to go hand in hand with Love..or at least it does more these days.  This is due to the fact that, not only is our view more skewed these days (which can, again, be attributed to our forgetting how to love, exactly); and therefore, because Love is becoming the lost art that it is, we have trouble teaching our offspring how to love properly as well.  That side effect is pain.  There's pain everywhere, and we want no more of it.  So, since we believe that to love means that we must, inevitably, experience pain, we would much rather skirt the emotion altogether, rather than hurt later.

This is a huge mistake America.  Love should not, will not, and CANNOT be avoided because we don't want to hurt.  Hurt is natural, hurt is out there.  But to hurt means that you will, eventually, learn to heal, and because of that, you'll learn to be a better human for it.  It's just a part of our existence.  There's no getting around it.  You're going to hurt, sometime and somewhere.  It's a part of this great thing called life.

Please, America, whatever you do, do NOT skirt love, or you'll forever forget how to love.  If you forever forget how to love, you'll never be completely human.  You can't forget how to love.  If you don't know how, learn.  Read the classics.  Watch some old romantic films.  Keep this ideal, this POWER, alive.  If we, the human race, forget how to love, or avoid it to avoid pain, we'll never accomplish the greatest thing this race has ever known.  Love.  Real, True, and Unconditional.  And if you can't seem to grasp the concept, I have an idea that might seem stupid, but is a tried and true way to relearn the love you've forgotten.  Get a puppy.  Adopt a kitten.  Share the birth of one of your grandchildren with your children.  You'll remember how to love really, truly, and unconditionally in no time, this I guarantee.  :D
