Life Storms: (Unedited): 11 June 2010:

Even during the rain storms of life. Something good and positive can be found if searched. 

C.J.MacKechnie
==================
If you are reading this and your life has been hell. Then know right this very moment. Your a survivor. Your a conqueror. Your victorious. Yes, You do not feel like one. Neither did I. But, never the less you are. Yes, the abuses and tortures you have endured were evil, bad and terrible. Yet, here you are reading this goofy quote.  Of all of the hell you have had to endure. Your strength and will defeated those who tried to end you. Your strength and will to live is proof that you won. I do understand, what I am trying to prove to you. I did not feel strong let alone a winner. I felt very much the opposite.
===============
No matter what you have already endured in this life. Even if you think and believe that all this life has ever been is Hell on Earth. There always is something positive to learn. Even if it is a simple positive thing that people can smile at in a weird way. Such as for me. "It is not good to try and kill your adopted son (me)". I know that was probably a failed attempt at humor. That is a basic lesson to learn. It is not good to kill your children, to abuse your children, to torture your children and etc.
There are about 500,00 kids in foster care every single year in the USA and the majority of those kids have parents who did not know that one simple truth and still don't. 
==================

Search for those positive good things which are within you. You are of great value and importance. 

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

You are worthy of the life you know you should have. You can give to your own children the life you always ever wanted. make the effort and make it happen.

Ye Source: (Unedited): 08 June 2010:

Ye, Who have only known darkness, despair and depravity. Have courage, compassion and a caring heart. Become the source of light, life and love. To those who are desperately lost, lonely and left behind.

Lifes Death: (Unedited): 07 June 2010:

I have often wondered why some people often have so much death in their lives. Yet, they are the ones who must suffer through the memory of each one. Maybe, it is the school of "JOB" that they have to work through in this life. I do not think most of the people who have outlived family and friends ever realize it. Much like me. I always thought that death, misery and suffering surrounded me. I was the cause of it all. I even thought that I had the power to kill. Just by wishing it on a person. After all, My mother died two weeks after I called her every bad name That this once 13 year old could think of. Then I said; I hate you and I wish you were dead. My very last words. Then there was all of the foster kids that died in various ways or just disappeared. It took me a long long time. To realize that it was not me who was surrounded by death. It was my life that was experiencing all of the death, misery and suffering that was happening to other people around me. Even to the matter of me not dieing. I have come close to death many times and each time I survived in an logically unexplainable way. So, why must you and me continue to witness all of this death, misery and suffering? I think there are many reasons mostly related to you individually. I for myself have left those who are creators of drama of any kind far behind. Those of you who still are witnesses of death, misery and suffering. You to have control and power of your own life. You are the authors of the very next chapters of your own biography. Go and do what is positive for you in the here and now. Then discover what rewards will manifest for you several chapters later. There is and always be love, hope and compassion for those who seek it out. C.J.MacKechnie

Deserving Satisfaction: (Unedited): 03 June 2010:

The heart that is deserving will always be a heart that is some what empty. A heart that is worthy will always know all that is, has been earned. The worthy heart will know satisfaction in life. 

C.J.MacKechnie 

=========================
The heart that is deserving will always be a heart that is somewhat empty. A heart that is worthy will always know all that it has been earned. The worthy heart will know satisfaction in life.
C.J.MacKechnie 
============================
 A deserving heart is a lacking heart.
A Worthy heart is a heart which has earned that which will be received or has already been gotten.
If a person has to question or proclaim that they are deserving is a person who hasn't done anything which justifies the reception of the thing. 
A heart which is worthy knows that the things which are important in this world is not really important and those things which are not important in this world are very important.
The things in this life are of little importance where as the family you have is of great value. Living a life which promotes a quality of continued life. Means willingly living that life in accordance to the 10 Commandments by your own willful choice. A life choice without fear or threats.

Positive Outlook: Raptures explained: (unedited): 03 June 2010:

The positive outlook that you have from time to time in your life. Has always been solely under your control and by your own decision. C.J.MacKechnie 

================================================================
Histories Outlook:(Unedited) 03 June 2010:

Your positive outlook in life should not be tied to what is going. What has happened in your life or what will happen in your life. C.J.MacKechnie

===================================================================
 The positive outlook or even the negative outlook you have is all based on your own selected decision. It doesn't matter if the facts presented to you is true. This is the same premise of the glass is either half full or half empty. It is your decision in what you will believe and don't believe. Do you want to live your life with positive hope or negative despair. It is really that simple. How you think, feel and believe in your own tiny little world does have an effect/affect on the rest of those who bump into your world from time to time. Isn't it better to positively inspire others to be hopeful in life or just bash them into hopeless despair?
The world will change when you change the way you think, feel and believe. How do you want this world of planet earth to become? It is all up to you.
By you changing your belief system into something more positive. By changing the way you think into something more positive. Both of those together will have a positive effect on how you feel. Your feelings will become more positive. Then your whole life will become more positive.
==================================================================
If you spend all of your time thinking and believing that the prophecies you have studied will absolutely come true. Then your outlook on life may not be to positive. Especially when you have done the math in the Holy Bible end time prophecies. That approximately 5 billion people are going to die in a short period of time. You may be able to find some comfort in the pre tribulation rapture. But, still approximately 5 billion people are going to die.
==================================================================
Prophecy should not be thought of as something which will happen. Unless, you do not have the technology to avert a coming disaster.  Yes, this also includes those prophecies which are in the Holy Bible. Those prophecies which are in the Holy Bible are going to occur because of our collective wrong decisions. Those collective wrong decisions is what brings about the near extinction of all life on this planet Earth. Including Human Life. 
=================================================================
It is up to you to ascertain the truth of the information I have listed from other sources. You have to pray, meditate and contemplate on this.
For me personally, I do not believe in the Rapture. The history of the life of Early Christians is just further proof of no rapture. I'm not so rigid because I have no plans or intentions to argue or debate with GOD my Heavenly Father on HIS will. Just because, I do not believe in the rapture at which ever time it may happen. Doesn't mean I am going to reject the rapture when it happens and it may even happen all through the entire tribulation event. So, I am already prepared to be teased at my upcoming loving ridicule. I have no problem in declaring "Yep, I'm wrong, Now lets go".

Reverted Blessing: (Unedited): 26 Feb 2013:

A blessing received by a selfish heart may become a curse. C.J.MacKechnie

============
A selfish heart seems to always count their blessings received, while not becoming a blessing for others.
C.J.Mackechnie
==========
Verbally spoken thankfulness is not good enough. Genuine gratitude from a caring heart is a blocking mechanism from any gift becoming a curse. There are of course many other pathways in which a gift/blessing can become a curse. The first one is the lack of genuine gratitude.

The love and compassion from a giver will always be rewarded by God because their heart and their intention were correct and true, no matter how the gift/blessing was received or it's end result.

For instance, A giver knows of a single woman with children. The giver is a witness to her struggles and plight. So, the giver gifts her a car as a blessing for her and her children. She expresses her thanks and wonderment of the gift. But, in the eyes of God she is only a member of the church in order to get what she can. Yes, she is desperate and she is in great need. For some reason she cannot get past her desperation and a life which seemingly is full of perpetual curses and set backs. The gift of the car will become that which is intended for her. The complete lesson from God, which is a great mystery novel. Will the desperate mother become a genuine Christian or will she remain like she is? We or you can only watch and witness. Maybe she will surprise you. Maybe the gifted car will become a financial burden or curse. Maybe the gifted car will remain that gift which becomes the catalyst for life changing miracles to come for the mother and her children.

Suicide drill: (Unedited): 25 Feb 2013:

In Basketball there is a conditioning drill called a suicide. The word suicide in this explanation is not a negative term or a word used to mean self death. For this blog post, The word suicide is that descriptive word which can mean anything as defined by you. A Suicide Drill exercise for you can be that thing which must be done in order for you to achieve a particular goal.
When a basketball player correctly does the Suicide Drill exercise. He or she will feel like they are about to die and that their coach wants them to die. This is of course far from the truth. The coach wants you to break through your own self created limitations and to exceed your own low level goals and personal expectations.
The Suicide Drill is necessary and crucial for your growth and positive development. The person who does the Suicide drills on their own time and at their personal level of personal conquest. That person will achieve a greater break through in that specific area of interest. Than the person who halfheartedly does a Suicide Drill while complaining under their own breath.
So, what is a suicide drill? Watch the YouTube basketball videos as provided below. Know this, to merely watch as opposed to experiencing a suicide drill as commanded by an evile coach is not the same. (I recommend watching the movie "Coach Carter" and focusing on the Coach and the lessons he is trying to teach). It is more than Basketball. The life lessons learned in Basketball and other sports is greater than the sport itself. The value of which cannot be calculated. So as long as respect, integrity and honor is taught.

The word use of "evile" is an attempt at humor. That is until the coach forces you to do more Suicide Drills (More Humor).

The suicide drill and KungFu is closely related to one another. Even if your specific area of interest is not Basketball. Your suicide drill is a fundamental part of your Kung Fu. The word Kung Fu is not tied to any specific Martial Art at least here in this blog post.
Your Kung Fu is your police officer badge, Your fire fighter uniform, Your medical doctor PHD, your retail store of employment, your welding shop, or your captain of a great ship. No matter your field of interest, it is your KungFu.
The suicide drills which you must do in your KungFu is directly related to your specific area of interest. The suicide drills is your homework which must be done in that class which you see no value or purpose in. The suicide drills for the military man, lawman can be Martial Arts, firearm training and memorizing laws, SunTzu and boring theories of strategy.

The Suicide drills that you do is going to be uncomfortable for you and very challenging. Even to the point where you decide that quitting is a very real option. Which quitting is never an option unless you desire for your future to become a quitter and consider yourself as a quitter. Yes, This is a part of the hero or zero mentality. In which many psycho-ologists believe to be an error of thinking. It is not an error of thinking it is a driving force in the area of achievement. Which must be coupled with Honor, Integrity and Respect.
Your greatest achievements in life will come when your are the most stressed, uncomfortable and that which you are doing doesn't seem possible for you. The thing that you which you consider as impossible is impossible. That is until your thinking and belief systems changes into "I'm Possible".

I also recommend watching the Movie "Rudy". Keep focused on his life. Walking into an unknown and homelessness. keeping focused on the goal, even after continued rejection after rejection. Even when he gave up he still could not.
