Chloe @The Baby Angels

                               Chloe - @ The Baby Angels

MATTHEW 18;14

 "For it is NOT God's will that one of these little ones should perish".

   This says it all. Straight from the top, from JC Himself. It is clear, with no interpretation needed. All you scholars put a fork in it. All you scoffers may jump into a river ( the Desplaines would do nicely). IT IS NOT GOD'S WILL THAT A BABY DIE !
  From the very 1st second, these little ones steal your heart. They own it, it is theirs, it happens automatically, all by itself. We have no choice. Love in its purest form, instinctive, straight from Heaven. We look at the face of our babies, for this is the face of an angel. A gift from Heaven, a gift from God. The power is immense. Look at the face @ you know that there is a God, a loving God. We love our children @ know that God exists. There is no debate, no argument, nor logic. What we have in our hearts, if it is love, it from Heaven.

NAYSAYERS(those who say nay)
  For those that say such nonsense as how can God allow a beautiful baby to die? God did not take that baby. He did not want that child to die ! God does not punish. He wants all of us to have abundant, beautiful joyful loving lives.
So why did this baby die?
  We are human, our bodies can be frail, allowing disease or illness, and sometimes babies die. NOT GOD'S WILL ! Sometimes bad things happen. The world has always been this way, always will be. 
  What about famine, war, poverty, accidents, tsunamis? The way our world is made bad weather is part of the deal. Earthquakes happen because plates beneath the oceans way down, move. This is how our planet was made several billion years ago. The plates shift and earthquakes are the result. Tsunamis are formed by massive tidal waves, hitting land with great speed and mass, - destruction. This is the physical nature of our planet. Without this movement, we have no weather, no life, no atmosphere, a dead planet.
  With its immense power, the physical universe can be a scary place indeed. The flip-side is that we inhabit this very small planet, and are given all we need for life to prosper, flourishing for millions of years. These are physical laws, reality, fact. 

MAN-MADE DESTRUCTION;
 Death by violence, guns, war, bombs, WMD, drones, gang-bangers, assholes, when these tragedies happen, naysayers say, "how could god allow this to happen"? I say, God had nothing to do with it. This is man-made evil, not God-made.There is good and evil in this world. Men either choose good or we choose evil. It is that simple(too simple?). Men choose, not God. 
  How come the critics never, never, never say " the devil did this"? Now, this makes sense. Evil is the devil's work - not God's. God is love. Satan is a piece of crap, a liar, a con, a fucking coward, wanting people to feel this way about themselves, as well as the rest of the human race. Satan's greatest feat is convincing mankind he does not exist. So, when tragedy strikes, those lacking in intelligence say "how could God let this happen"? Instead, why not point the finger at the asshole satan? Or, point said finger at the asshole who picked up the gun, pointed, and pulled the trigger? The asshole made a decision and chose evil. 

"THE BATTLE OF GOOD VS. EVIL WILL NOT BE FOUGHT BY GREAT ARMIES. IT WILL BE FOUGHT ONE LIFE AT A TIME".

  Choose and bear the consequences. For what we have is a choice, everyday, for good, for right, for love, for joy, for beauty, or not. Many choose greed, selfish, petty, evil, lies, for their tiny useless wants. Many choose the evil, criminal, and bad, and way too often, through the benevolence of society(see liberals,do-gooders, lawyers, @ other assholes), we let these same assholes off the hook, thus perpetuating evil. These are the things that keep good men up at night, pulling out our hair at the stupidity of not having the said asshole suffer the consequences of his petty criminal acts. The innocent suffer. Criminals thrive on the understanding of society.

                             THE ASSHOLE MADE A CHOICE - NOT GOD !

Do I believe in satan? Don't know. Never gave it much thought. Albeit(great word there huh? Come on, your not givin it to me, man). I do believe in good vs. evil. I do believe in Heaven @ hell on Earth. Life after death? Again, not much thought about. I figure gonna find out soon enough(no rush on this one), as we all are. LIFE - SHORT, DEAD - FOREVER.

WE CANNOT FIGURE OUT GOD; 
  We are human, therefore(another college word!), limited.Those lacking in intelligence who do not think things through( I am on a roll!), are presumptuous about what God is and their expectations of Him.Thinking they know how God is supposed to be, what He should do or not do, and when expectations fail(damn near always), those in the dark say, "Look at your god, see what He let happen".
 WRONG!!!! Not well thought out. The fault in this opine(can't stop me now!), is you think know what God is, what He should be, and what He should do.YOU, YES YOU, ARE NOT THAT SMART(attention grabber)! For your head, yes you again, is stuck firmly, deeply, and forever up your ass! Someday, maybe, doubtful, you may hear a pop. This will be your miracle. For this is your head popping out your ass(my pop having occurred March '97. you are not alone!)!  
  You actually think you know what God is. Lofty opinion of your brain, dontcha think? Let's all take a deep breath, let it out, and set the record straight. Your thinking is totally and completely wrong! None of us(me as well), can begin to understand the totality of God(PHEW!). He is too big, we are human. God is forever, we are finite.
  Perhaps, it is best to stop asking why. We need to figure out what is in our hearts, and get on with it. God is in our hearts anyways, not in our brains.
  Brilliant that, dontcha think?

  The evangelists are as guilty as the naysayers, certainly in there finger-pointing, though they do not see it. Both equally blind. Both narrow-minded in believing they know best. Both equally stumped ego-maniacs. Neither side is intelligent, kind, tolerant, nor loving. Neither makes the world a better place.
  
WOMP-BAMBA-LOO-BOMP-BOMP-BAM-BOOM!!!! Everybody,take a deep breath. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Again, slowly. It's gonna be alright. We'll get there.

  Proceed sir. Well, thank you. The more science I've studied has reinforced my beliefs in God. Religion and God are way two different things. Jesus, the Man Himself, was not a religious man, He was a spiritual man( i feel some of you pulling away). He despised the elders, priests, scribes, and pharisees(see tossing tables at the temple). Life is not about what you believe, it is about what I believe. Not about what you do and say, but about what I do and say. Not how you live your life but how I live mine. Not how you view your fellow man, but how I view my fellow man . Making life a lot less complicated. Finger-pointing is exhausting. Life is way too short. People are gonna believe what they believe anyway.

CHLOE @ THE BABY ANGELS;
  Chloe, an infant, is now in Heaven. She has wings and she is buzzing around up and through the rainbows. All babies do, and she has a smile on her face.
  Mom and dad are grieving. An awful experience burying your child. A life-long scar is ripped in your heart. Do the parents recover? With time, support from family and friends, the pain may ease. For now, there is gut-wrenching sorrow. How could there be anything else? Any parent anywhere experiencing this, you have my heart felt sympathy and prayers. Your baby is with you always, this I believe.

  Awful things happen, Always have, always will. The whys will screw you up. Perhaps, it's best not to think about the whys. Or, who's to blame(this leading to anger, bitterness, hatred, hopelessness). God, always God, right? Bad DNA? Illness? Bad doctor? . . .ad infinitum. The blame-list is endless, often pointless. Leading to where? Nowhere really. Nowhere good anyway. Nothing that will bring comfort. Nothing that will ease the pain. There is suffering in this life. Seems to be part of the deal( see Jesus on the cross). 
  When we grieve, God is never closer(@ this is me). He is right there, for He grieves also as any parent watching their child suffer. He is there - even when we don't believe - He is there.

CHLOE'S FAMILY;    
  Words are sometimes utterly useless. There are no words, no words to make you feel better, for this is an awful tragedy. Time - family - friends, hoping, in there, somewhere, you find love. And Chloe.

THE BABY ANGELS ARE OUT THERE, BUZZIN AROUND. THEY SMILE @ LAUGH. 
                            Peace @ love, FW

SONG; -  "JEZEBEL" -  by 10,000 Maniacs - from Unplugged - 1993.

                   THE BLAZE - bout The Windy City

   SUMMERTIME !! FUN  !!!! PARTY  !!!!(alcohol @ drug free, but that's just me) Fun Tip #1- leave the guns at home, please. Getting hot @ tempers flair. Sadly, ruining the fun. But, I digress. Cuz the fun never stops in my world. Life is wayyyyy too short. High priority the fun thing. Laughter, friends, music, festivals !!! how I dig all of it !!! food, sports, the lake !! running, walkin, bikin, and chicks man !!!(never too old to look at the opposite sex !! Too old to act but not to look).


35 YEAR HS REUNION - MORTON WEST 1980 -
 
6-27-15 at Papa Passero's Downers Grove 7pm. This gonna rock ! I so look forward to this. I'm intrigued. Gotta bring the yearbook. Good to see the people I grew up with. Those years have such a big impact on the rest of our lives. And we remember those who are not with us any longer. and me @ my friends put the high in high school ! But there are some very sweet memories. some very sweet people. I try to remember the good,  for it far outweighs the negatives. this is a blessing @ special nite.
 
SPORTS - let's catch up


  BLACKHAWKS - thank god for the blackhawks! playing for another Stanley Cup! 1 more baby, 1 more ! HOW MUCH $$$$ to go to game tonite? $2000, I don't kno. couple of mortage payments? RIDICULOUS ! so mid-class @ lower income families can go screw themselves. yeah, that's about right. and the game is not on free tv! can these SOBs be anymore greedy? absolutely not.


BASEBALL - do they still play baseball round here? with the Hawks getting all the attention, you'd never know we got 2 teams. BOTH TEAMS ARE A DISGRACE TO THE WINDY CITY !


CUBS - 107 YEARS @ COUNTING! THE GREATEST DISASTER IN THE HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS ! A record which will never be broken! Our heroes! and the stadium was not ready for opening day! EMBARASSING! Theodore has them on the right track. Respectable so far this season. Bout goddam time cuz the last 3 years was as pathetic as ever. and that ain't ez round here. couldn't pay me to see this joke of a franchise. But, cub fans are the greatest fans ever! most loyal. they deserve a champion. tho that may signal Armageddon !


WHITE SOX - Do these guys still play? Do they stink? I don't know. If they left town no one would miss them. When this team stinks, these fans disappear. and only care if the cubs lose. sadly, for them, this is a cub's town. not even close. Thing about cub fans, even when they stink, their fans do not disappear, ever.
 
BULLS - who gives a rat's ass ? honest to god. enough of this current crop of losers. another season and another failure. JOHN PAXSON GOTTA GO 1st !!! this guy has no clue. his track record is a disaster. a blueprint for losing. I could do his job for a lot less  $$$$. LOSER !!!!
 D-ROSE - this joker needed to be replaced 4 years ago! hey pax, wake the "*&^%" up ! Tibs gets the ax @ these 2 clowns stay. only in Chicago does failure get rewarded like this ! Total embarrassment - total disgrace to the windy city !!! You could not pay me to see these clowns !


BEARS - last but not least. the most pathetic, disgraceful, embarrassing team in the history of this franchise. let me know when ted phillips is gone. the guy is a bean counter nothing more. not a football man. a loser. 30 years ted, 30! and counting! 30 years since the last title! A joke of a franchise. a joke to the windy city !  and when, in the name of god, are they finally getting rid of that joke of a qb, #6 ? I can't even say his name any longer. one of the worst QBs in the league. a back up at best. and the bears make this joker the highest paid player in the league, guaranteed! let me know when this clown leaves town! HE SUCKS ! Who's better Josh or Jay? anyone who says jay needs to jump into a fucking river ! Ted, you 1st ! #6, then you !
 Til then, GO GREEN BAY !!!


BUT ITS JUST SPORTS, RIGHT?
