That Disappointing Moment...
I was up late tonight thinking about life and specifically about love...
Anyone who has had the courage to give of yourself completely and unconditionally to someone else knows exactly what I meant when I wrote this tonight:
“Love is to give, commit, and trust completely; the courage to be vulnerable without the omniscience of another's virtue.”
That disappointing moment when you realize the person you love or loved was never truly worthy of your love (and may never understand the true meaning of love).
...to give and not to take, use, or see what you can get from someone else.
To be selfless versus being completely selfish.
I turned it into a photo quote and posted it here on Goodreads:

...just some thoughts I had late tonight.
My wish and hope for all of you: may the one you love know, understand, and show you the true meaning of love.

Humbling...
It is Truly Humbling...
When you find yourself quoted all over the world in social media on a regular basis it is a truly humbling experience.

Just today I searched for my name on Twitter using the Twitter Advanced Search function...click on the link below to see what I found:
https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&a...
Yes...I am thoroughly humbled to see so many people all over the world posting my quotes.
It is the dream of any author to know their words are affecting other people's lives each day.
I am blessed that so many people found my words helpful, useful, motivational, moving, or inspiring in some way.
Thank you all!

Houston Weathers Harvey!
The Headlines Will Read "Houston Weathers Harvey!"
Even as Tropical Storm Harvey continues to pound Houston and the surrounding areas with an historic rainfall, I can tell you the headlines after the storm will read: "Houston Weathers Harvey!"
In fact, Houston will not only survive Harvey, but in the coming months and years after Harvey, Houston will flourish.
How do I know?
Because Houstonians will do what they have always done in the past...remain strong and build a bigger, better Houston.
The Great Flood
Just like the world emerged from The Great Flood of the Bible, so too will Houston recover from its great flood in the wake of Harvey.
Having been an Houstonian since 1993, after seeing my fair share of natural disasters accompanied by flooding in Houston, there is one common newsworthy theme: Houstonians helping Houstonians.
Unlike some major cities caught up in natural disasters, what you do not see in Houston before, during, or after such devastation is further destruction or widespread looting by Houstonians.
Instead, overwhelmingly the news stories are always: Houstonians lend a helping hand to their neighbors.
Houston is a city of everyday heroes
Houston is a city where people routinely go out of their way to help each other in times of need and crisis.
As has been the case in the past, and is currently playing out across our fair city, you will find everyday citizens heroically helping each other.
This is an international city where diverse groups of people regardless of race and religion live peacefully side by side.
The Hearts of Houstonians Will Prevail
Houstonians will clean up, rebuild, and make Houston even stronger after the waters from Harvey have finally receded.
I am confident the loving, friendly, giving hearts of Houstonians will prevail in the face of this terrible catastrophe our city is currently enduring.
In the end, the big story will be: Houston Weathers Harvey!
The hearts of Houstonians and our enduring spirits will overcome this...we will rebuild!
Soon Houston will become the 3rd largest city in the United States. Furthermore, Houston will continue to rise, expand, and grow rivaling Los Angeles and New York City...it is our destiny!
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone and all my neighbors affected by Harvey.
We will get through this together and show the world that nothing, not even The Great Flood of Harvey, can dampen the friendly, loving, caring hearts of Houstonians.
Nothing can contain the limitless spirit of a boundless heart.
Houston will rise and flourish in spite of Harvey...
God Bless Houston and my fellow Houstonians!

World Leaders Are Losing The War on Terror
The Fundamental Misunderstanding of Cause and Effect
The War on Terror is being lost because world leaders missed the most basic and fundamental lesson we all learn in grade school: the relationship between cause and effect.
Radical Islam is not the enemy nor is it the root cause; it is the effect.
World leaders have spent so much time and energy focusing their attention hunting terrorists at home and abroad (after terrorist attacks have already been committed) that they have completely overlooked the true enemy.
The real enemy has nothing to do with a small fraction of Muslims who preach a religion of hatred we call Radical Islam.
The enemy world leaders have completely missed, the cause that allows hatred to grab hold in the first place, then infect, and fester in our world has nothing to do with the Islamic faith; the real enemy is poverty .
The West is losing The War on Terror because they have failed to recognize poverty as the enemy and, therefore, come up with an effective plan to defeat it.
The Global Eradication of Poverty
Poverty is the fertile ground that allows the seed of hatred to be planted, spread, and disseminated throughout the world.
Without poverty, if there was actually prosperity in those afflicted regions of the world, if all those individuals held hope for a more promising future along with living well presently, there would be no Radical Islam and no terrorism.
After all, what person would want to blow themselves up, train for murdering their fellow human beings, or inflict misery on others if they were living a happy, fulfilling, and prosperous life?
It is time to deal with the cause, come up with a plan of attack, and defeat the true enemy: it is time for The Global Eradication of Poverty !
The Cost of a Missed Opportunity
By failing to diagnose the real problem and properly identify the enemy from the beginning, world leaders have created a self-feeding, chain reaction perpetually increasing the number of terrorists.
This misstep has created a viscious cycle that could have been truncated at its roots, but that missed opportunity has allowed millions of people worldwide (if not tens of millions) to be converted into a religion of hate.
The Cyclical Religion of Hate
As illustrated below, we are now playing a part in this viscious cycle helping to create more terrorists.
In this cycle, the terrorist leaders preach hate, recruiting poor, disenchanted individuals to perform acts of terrorism. In response to these acts of terrorism, we send bombs, which reinforces the original message of hate as a tangible basis for that hatred. Thereby, in turn, our bombs increase the conversion of new recruits indoctrinated into The Cyclical Religion of Hate.
This self perpetuating cycle proceeds through perpetuity and is best illustrated as a resultant growth curve.
That is why we are losing The War on Terror; instead of wiping out the terrorists we have given them ample fodder to increase their numbers exponentially without ever dealing with its root cause of poverty.
As a result, now the number of terrorists and their acts of terrorism are too great; we cannot avoid hunting them down to cull their present numbers.
Poverty and the Annexation of The Crimea
The enemy of poverty is not isolated to The Cyclical Religion of Hate nor is it constrained to our present world crisis.
Just as the major global issues we are dealing with today, so did poverty play a role in most major upheavals throughout history.
For example, both the French Revolution and The Bolshevik Revolution were a product of inequality among a mainly impoverished population. In fact, Communism itself was fundamentally based upon redistribution of wealth in order to provide for all people equally, thereby wiping out poverty.
In recent history, when I spoke to my friends in The Crimea, prior to its annexation by Russia, they expressed the hope for a better future and prosperity with Russia as their desire for reunification. Consequently, they were even willing to suffer more short-term for the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
In other words, if not for the poverty in The Crimea and Ukraine, Russia would have failed in its hasty Crimean annexation .
Poverty and North Korea
Even the current situation in North Korea has an impoverished population as the root cause of the problem.
Maybe the best way to end the North Korean crisis is not with more sanctions which further exacerbates the poverty of the populace?
Instead, the best way forward with North Korea is more likely meetings with their leaders about a mutually beneficial plan to create prosperity for their people.
Poverty and Domestic Crime
Furthermore, what proportion of domestic crime is committed by those who live in poverty?
I would submit our prisons and those who commit crimes in the USA are disproportionately represented by those who live or grow up in poverty.
Therefore, even domestically, the lack of hope in the attainment of prosperity among our poorest individuals leads to increased criminal activity.
As such, poverty in the USA creates a whole host of social ills.
A Plan of Attack Against a Ubiquitous Enemy
In summary, isn't it time to come up with a plan of attack against the ubiquitous world enemy of poverty?
Isn't it time to break The Cyclical Religion of Hate and end world suffering by dealing with its root cause?
Rather than just wiping out terrorists and creating exponentially more in a never ending viscious cycle, doesn't it make strategic sense to simultaneously attack its root cause of poverty?
If world leaders want to ultimately win The War on Terror then it is time for them to recognize the true enemy is poverty, and come up with a systematic plan for its annihilation.
Isn't it time for The Global Eradication of Poverty!?

Valentine's Day: Love is God in all...
Love is God in All
With Valentine's Day fast approaching, the topic of love is a timely one.
Throughout the years many have tried to define love and there are a plethora of quotes floating around the world with regard to love.
Love is something we cannot touch or taste, yet we all have experience with love. Whether it is the love of family, friends, pets, that special person, or our God, love is a concept and emotion to which everyone can relate.
What Does The Bible Say About Love?
When we search The Bible for the word "love" (or a derivative of the word love in different tenses), it appears in 442 verses (King James Version, KJV) and 686 verses (New International Version, NIV) respectively:
https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksea...
https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksea...
Most people are probably familiar with the Bible verses, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV):
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails...
As well as many may be familiar with the verse, 1 John 4:8 (KJV):
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
...for God is love
Therefore, if God is love (God = Love), then love is also God (Love = God), or more properly, love is the presence of God we feel inside and observe all around us.
Often non-believers inquire about relatable, tangible evidence for the existence of God. To this I would respond, please tell me about your personal experiences and observations with respect to love...
I will submit that love is the ubiquitous manifestation of God within us (and in all living things, as love is observable throughout nature, for example, animals protecting and caring for their young, the interspecies, unconditional love expressed by pets for their owners, etc...)
In other words, love is the embodiment of God that He planted in all; His enduring, telltale presence inside and surrounding us.
Interestingly, there are some fascinating science experiments which provide support for the argument that even plants and molecules of water "feel," or at least are affected by, love or the lack of love.
Considering that 71% of earth's surface is covered with water, and how we ourselves are mostly composed of water, I find it particularly intriguing that water seemingly reacts to love (continue reading for some scientific support in the section below).
The Affect of Love on Plants and Water
Many scientific experiments have been conducted with regard to speaking lovingly to a group of plants, while simultaneously ignoring a second group of plants, and speaking meanly to a third group of plants.
Here is just one such experiment (you can find many on the internet):
https://www.byoumagazine.com/power-of...
As in this specific experiment above, the plants that were spoken to lovingly grew faster and stronger than the other groups of plants: support for the supernatural power of love.
Similarly, love even appears to have an affect on water, the essential ingredient for life as we know it, as documented by the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto in Japan.
To quote a Huffington Post article:
"Emoto realized both positive and negative words can have an influence on water’s structure by changing water’s crystals.
During his study of water, Emoto came to some fascinating revelations. He came to a belief that water was the so-called 'blueprint of our reality' and our emotional energy and vibrations can change the physical structure of water.
Emoto’s tests mostly consisted of putting water in glasses and then exposing it to different words, pictures, and music and then freezing it and analyzing how water crystals look.
And through his research and analysis, he came to the conclusion that if we 'influence' water with positive words, pictures, or music that water crystals will be nicely formed.
On the other hand, if one puts water near negative influences, such as saying negative words, or if you turn on some loud heavy metal music then the results would be the total opposite.
Those water crystals will be distorted and formed in an ugly and negative formation."

The Affect of Withholding Love on Human Development
We all come out of the womb needing love in order to grow and develop properly.
There was a shockingly cruel psychological experiment conducted on babies in the 13th century by King Frederick II. The purpose of the experiment was to see what language babies would speak if they were not spoken to or touched.
As recorded by the historian, Salimbene di Adam in 1248, babies were taken from their mothers and one group was spoken to and touched. In contrast, the second group of babies was completely deprived of these physical interactions.
This experiment was cut short because babies in the group for which physical interactions were withheld actually began to die.
For more information about this experiment see the link below:
http://www.digma.com/digma-images/vid...
We are all born with both the capacity and the need for love (God).
In fact, as this experiment shows, we all need love to live, grow, and thrive.
The Convergence of Science and Religion
Science has traditionally not been friendly toward religion, but it seems on the topic of love, there is a convergence between science and religion, whereas science is beginning to confirm the miraculous power of love (God).
As with the examples above, scientific observations are supportive of what believers already know: "...for God is love" (and therefore love is the palpable manifestation and also the irrefutable evidence of God).
There is a supernatural force within the workings of love that none of us, not even scientists, can deny.
Furthermore, it is no surprise to believers that prayer can heal people.
In fact, scientists have begrudgingly validated the positive effect of religion and prayer on health and healing. You can read more about this in the following article from WebMD:
https://www.webmd.com/balance/feature...
Scientists Search for The God Particle
In addition to providing scientific support for the power of love, prayer, and healing, scientists have also begun to confirm the existence of God's presence in everything.
All matter, whether living or non-living, is made up of atoms, which consist of smaller subatomic particles.
In their book titled, "The God Particle," Noble Prize-winning physicist Leon M. Lederman and Dick Teresi chronicle the search for the Higgs boson, a universal subatomic particle that gives mass to all forms of matter.
In other words, the Higgs boson, which Lederman nicknamed "The God Particle," is a part of absolutely everything in our world.
One has to wonder, that even by its very name, "The God Particle," did scientists just tantalizingly admit God's fingerprints on all matter in the universe?
Or to phrase this another way, in reference to God, Colossians 1:17 (NIV) states:
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
This is yet just another example of how science is once again confirming what is already known by Christians as is written in The Bible.
Conclusion: Love is God in All
For non-believers this Valentine's Day, I would ask you to observe love both within and all around your world.
...and if you are experiencing the power of love firsthand, to know that transcendental feeling you have inside which seems to transport you to another plane of existence: this is the manifestation of God embedded in your soul since birth.
To all believers, I hope love is yet just another palpable example that further strengthens your faith in God.
For this Valentine's Day and beyond, let's think more about what even science is beginning to confirm, that "Love is God in all."

News: Investing in Gold for a Huge Return on Investment in 2021
