For the love of God!

My old Irish foreman on the JJ ranch use to say

For the love of God slow down

For the love of God speed up

For the love of God check the oil in the tractor

For the love of God

Not bad advice actually

To do what we do for the love of God

In order to live in harmony with Sacred

We have a lot of other options

We can do what we do for love of power

What could go wrong!?

Other than abuse and misuse

Bullying and coercion

We can do what we do for the love of money

Ah yes,

The American way

Nothing is more important than wealth!!!

If the stock market is doing well

Who cares if war looms, the President lies and lies and lies

Who cares if the poor are abandoned,

and minorities are treated with injustice?

The reality money is at the root of most of our dis-ease

Aided by our love of power, which has synergistic relationship with money

Put them together

And it’s a perfect storm

And everything in the storms past is destroyed

The losses are profound

Happiness.

Inner Peace.

Integrity.

Love.

Character.

Manners.

Health.

Respect.

Morals.

Trust.

Patience.

Class.

Common sense.

Dignity.

Money can’t buy love or anything else

But love can bring us into the realm of the Sacred

Love can bind us together

Love can help restore all we have lost

That is why Jesus said two things are important

Love of God

And love of other

Oh, and maybe a third love too!

A healthy (not narcissistic) love of self

So live lives of compassion, joy and hope

Lives of kindness and generosity

Lives of forgiveness

For God’s sake
