An Obsession?

 I wrote this one yesterday.  I had something else for this morning, but decided on posting this one instead.  Maybe it's the times.  I'm not sure.  I used to think I would never make a penny from my Angels, but am beginning to re-evaluate my thinking.  But I could go the way of being a non-profit religious organization.  But what is it?  It can't be an off-shoot of something else.  I'm not 100% sure.  But since family is my primary readership here, I'm thinking about what I could do as a non-profit religious organization.  I used to say that when something got organized it was ruined.

But I thought of a goal.  What is it that bothers me most?  There are two sins I say God will NOT forgive.  I can seek to eliminate both violence and suicide, both of which bother me the most.  I wrote about sin the other day saying ANY sin can lead to both of these sins.  It would be foolish to say I want to eliminate sin.  No church of any kind has ever eradicated sin.  I don't care who they are.  And if the Church were successful, at least murder and suicide would be eradicated.  My wife suggests that maybe my thoughts are enough.  She might be right.  

But instead of my sitting around in thought, why not put that to good use?  In doing so, I WOULD be helping God.  I can't involve myself in suicide prevention.  That would be too risky for me.  But are there ever enough programs either by religious organizations or government for prevention of either of these two sins?  My thinking is there is never enough.  

Can I build a model or affect the elination of the sins of taking human life?  This even extends to warfare.  Can it even be done?  I'm asking these questions and if I were a philanthropist I'd donate to such organizations, but often in donating one is never sure where their money goes.  The Church is so broad in its outreach one has no say in how that money is spent.  So mine would be a grass roots organization that is very specific.  Maybe too specific.  

But at least I'm thinking about it.  And have for quite some time now.  This is the first attempt I've made to share my thoughts on the matter.  But it's not enough to say that ANY sin can lead to either murder or suicide. It's not just murder, but violence.  It's not really about violence that is make-believe like in books, movies, video games, and TV, but real violence.  But if these two sins seem to matter most maybe it is time to do something about them.  I can only help.  I can't do it alone.  And maybe thoughts aren't enough, but they are a beginning.  I'm finding these thoughts to be rather an obsession.  

I can't join an organization and bring my thoughts into it.  I'd get lost in the shuffle, so to speak.  So, let me ponder the idea and think about it some more.  I'd need people to share my goals.  My thinking is and has been they'd be hard to find.  I had a difficult enough time trying to convince anyone of my Angels.  There's too much acceptance for reasons of either of these two sins.  Maybe I'm just a dreamer and need to stick to dreaming.  Or I could help.  I'm thinking it's the latter.  Maybe it can't be done, but at least my heart is in the right place. Are my thoughts enough?  I'll ponder this some more as I smoke my pipe and get lost in thought.  My pipe this morning is my Peterson Churchwarden and my tobacco is some Lane 1-Q.  My coffee this morning is Tropical  Bahia Brazilia.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
