Noise Maker: (Unedited): 06 July 2013:

Silence can be a reminder of loneliness to the troubled mind. Out of that reminder of loneliness can create a noise maker out of you. C.J.MacKechnie

=====================================================================
The troubled mind can often times become fearful of a great many things.  Silence can be one of them. So a person begins to talk and talk and talk. This is not to be confused with those who are verbal communicators. This kind of person will just stand or sit next to a person and begin talking. Then continue talking even if that person just walks away. Maybe this kind of person needs to be recognized and accepted by everyone who just comes by.

=========================================================================

This is a person whom I saw today. Homeless and she knew all of the homeless or mentally ill people about the area. I'm starting to sense that they as a group are beginning to fear me. Maybe, I'm still a stranger.

Honor Burdens: (Unedited): 24 May 2010:

There is and always will be blessings for the burdens that you honor.
 C.J.MacKechnie 

========================
The burdens you bear with honor are your blessings and within your burdens is the Christ Jesus.  
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A31-46&version=NASB

Read it many times if you have to. If you believe Jesus Christ is your brother. Then so is those who are homeless, sick, naked, in prison.
================
 Think about this. There are people who will care for their severely mentally and physically challenged children up until they die. Parent or child. That is burden with honor. Then there are those who after given birth to an unwanted or undesirable baby will throw it away. Kind of like those fetal alcohol syndrome babies, disabled, mentally ill or any other perpetually ill babies. That is dishonor and abandonment.

Blood Blindfold: (Unedited): 25 Feb 2012:

Leaving the blood red blindfold on from the abuses and tortures of your life. Will always prevent you from looking forward and ahead to the wondrous possibilities before you. C.J.MacKechnie 

================

 Yes, unfortunately a life time obstacle for others to overcome if they ever do. Some people seem to become to destroyed and just give up. Fully embrace apathy.
I've only met a relatively few people who have overcome the abuse and tortures of their childhood. While the overwhelming majority seem to become prisoners, mentally ill, homeless, Alcoholics, Drug addicts or pursuers of death.  
======================
 Remove the blood red blindfold of your abuses and tortures. Begin to live a life worth living. In the here and now. The possibilities for your success in life is better than most who have never had to endure the kind of difficult hardships you have had to. You are strong. Stronger than most and like a sharp blade which must survive the fire. The strength of which cannot be understood until it is cool. You have been tempered in the fires of the life's misery and torment. Yet, you are here breathing and existing. Know that there is more. Just take off that Blood Red Blindfold. Become an inspiration to someone who is newly safe from torment and suffering. Be a hero to someone else. Stand firm and point the way out of their own self created hell. You are OK and so are they OK.
You are strong and powerful. You were to strong and to powerful for even your abusers to destroy. Your very existence is the very real evidence of their failure. Your ability to thrive in a life worth living only makes your abusers a worthless failure in all things.

Message Delivered: (Unedited): 19 Aug 2012:

The method of delivery for any message maybe questionable or undesirable. Do not allow the delivery undermine the importance of the message. C.J.MacKechnie

=====================================================================
A message or lesson delivered to you. Maybe in the form of observing a simple house cat ( http://www.youtube.com/user/Tigerpixie?feature=g-user-u ) or a white tailed deer. Maybe in the form of undesirable and chaotic life experiences.  Maybe in just simple words of wisdom from some mentally ill homeless person. maybe in the form of a drunks slurred story telling.
Everything and anything which happens in your presence is in fact a lesson or a message just for you. Especially, if it purposely captures your attention. This is important. C.J.MacKechnie
