i am awake. i am alive.

as far as the HIM… it’s the example Christ is for the church.

we can try to follow it the best way we know how

and pray and hope that it all turns out good.

each day we learn more and gain more wisdom on the matter.

we know we will never “arrive” and be all knowing or perfect,

but the basics (along with the golden rule) are in the bible.

and that…  is why it works.
we try to stay on the same page. we listen to each others views on every matter.

because we try to be humble and selfless and to love the best way we can.

to be better because the other person brings that out of us

and to have Christ as an example of how to love unconditionally.

love is like any risk… there is either great misfortune or great reward

depending on how much you put in.

and everyone has a will of his/her own. it’s a choice. it’s an action.
it will not work if it is not reciprocated.

it will not work if the receiver does not understand how you communicate it.
it might be safe to argue that there are at least as many ways to communicate love
as there are languages on the planet.
it will not work if you don’t take the time to understand

by listening to other perspectives on what love is because it takes many forms.

it will not happen until you stop focusing on your own self…

and instead just give it to others.

and as far as anything goes, i think it’s safe to say that WE ALL KNOW THIS:

nothing is completely certain to EVERYONE living on this planet
except death and what people will be able to say of you when you are long gone…

if they will be able to say anything at all is up to the heart and soul in every one of us.
