Keeping Positive Friendships

In modern American culture, the world friendship has been distorted. In many cases the people who you hang out with can help build you up in the future or help destroy your chances of ever having a future. Since the 1960's the idea of dating has went out the window. As premarital sex has become the norm. Our children are faced with pressure from their friends to experiment with both Hetero and Homosexual activities. But any one who is willing to challenge your moral principles is not a friend. The results of such experimentation effects much more than just the individual. It is for this reason that we are our brother's keeper in the eyes of God.

If you look beyond the contracted STDs we also have a break down in cultural cohesiveness at a climactic rate. For example when the American government past the Prohibition act, the problem of alcoholism doubled and even tripled in some cases. This was because it is fun to think you are getting away with something. However, the American population back then was primarily Christian, at least on paper. Which meant that it was not socially acceptable to be drunk in public. In fact even today, it is against the law to drink in public. The law was passed to protect our youth from what the Puritans called the Venom of the Serpent. The idea was to keep our children away from the bad influences who walked with Satan.

However, we all need to be mindful of the many distractions that Satan can use pull use away from the Straight and Narrow Path. My wife and I deal with financial poverty at a personal level. The jobs that I am offered could pay for a house in a matter of months, but they are not always legal and they are a remnant from my past. Once I learn what the job entails I reject them, even though we really need the money. I would rather be with Kansa forever then sell my soul to Satin by protecting Democrats. Even the name of the party says room temperature at best and I must vomit after saying it. Sometimes the greatest service to my Lord is not who I let live but rather what I let die. If I will be measured by the company I keep I would like people to say that he walks with God rather than sold out to Socialistic Democratic Terrorists.

Whether it be at work or in your personal life any relationships take eradication from both parties. Just as an artist commits to the completion of a project so must both parties commit themselves to their relationship. My sister got involved with man boy for the wrong reasons and soon after the gaol of a child was reached she began to pull away from him. For Tammy the only thing that was important was having someone take care of her. When she learned that the guy she was involved with was not capable of supporting her her goal became the procreation of a child through this bum so that she could get more money from the Government's “I don't want to work” programs. So while the boy who was 12 year's her junior was using Tammy for sex, my sister was using him in every way that she knew how.
Just like an artist laying out a sketch before he can paint Tammy had everything planed out. But her boyfriend learned of her plans by over hearing Tammy talking to her mother about them. So when Tammy was able to tell CJ that she was pregnant, Cj retaliated by saying, “how could you do this to me and he made her get an abortion.
Needless to say, the layout on Tammy's canvas was destroyed and she had to start over again. Tammy did everything that she could to keep Cj from leaving her, but the truth was that neither one of them loved the other. On the other hand Cj was still a horny teenager and it came to pass that Tammy did have a child through Cj and sure enough, as soon as Shaun was born. Tammy tried to pull away from Cj.
The prospect of Cj lousing his meal ticket terrorized him; so he popped the question to Tammy. But both Tammy and Cj knew that this relationship was over. But by now Tammy was afraid that Cj would go for full custody of her meal ticket. As a result, Tammy said yes and finally Shaun was not a bastard. The two of them played house for a year and not a day went by that they did not fight. Cj's unemployment ran out and Tammy was sick of him, but she knew that if Cj would leave Tammy would louse her meal ticket. After all Tammy was raised to milk the welfare system and that was all she ever knew. With no income Cj, Tammy asked our mom to move in, so she could keep the apartment. After all Tammy has always thought of herself as too good to work for a living. But soon Tammy would have Cj leave her and Tammy would kick mom out of the house telling mom that she wanted to be selfish for a change, as if Tammy has ever been anything but selfish.
My sister then invited me to stay with her to share the rent. Yeh right, “Share”! I never saw any of my paycheck while I was staying with her. I also notice that I was changing into something I did not like. Her attitude about life was and probable still is, “the world owe me.” As a result, she saw her worst fears come true. One day I answered the door and I had to sign for a package that was sent to my sister. it was the divorce papers and Cj was going for full custody of the only income my sister had, Shaun. The divorce took the better part of the year and Tammy did everything she could to make Cj look bad. One day I was asked by my sister to use some of my talents to incriminate Cj.
She wanted me to come up with a jpg file that would give her leverage to file a restraining order. I never had anything less than hate for the two of them so I did just that. However, I intentionally made it look suspect. It was my intention for both Cj and Tammy to be punished by the courts. Cj helped put me in jail for a crime I did not commit and Tammy was his accomplice. So the first picture that Tammy asked my to render was the key.

I knew that the government would never put my sister in jail for welfare fraud, so why not contempt of court? A CPS investigation would ensue and Shawn would be safely out of the hands of two people who never loved him. The courts did end up giving full custody to Tammy but over the course of the trial she was humbled. Maybe it was going to jail three times in a row or the prospect of losing her only child. I will never know. For my family has disowned me for putting my sister in jail as if she didn't deserve it. Nevertheless, however God may have worked in Tammy's life, the fact is she has changed her life. She spends more time with her son and has even gotten a job to support her family. The picture that Tammy planned to lay out was abandoned by the artist and a new artist took up the project. This is how God works in our lives, it is not until we as individual members of Mankind, let go of the reigns that God will begin to work in our lives. Some times even family does not have our best interest in mind.
I recently posed the question, “Why does a home owner who does not have children paying the same taxes as one who does not?” I think it is sick that an American who has worked hard to get where he is has to be punished by paying for the public school system, when he has no ability to have kids of his own. So I am asking again. Why is it right that we are forced to pay for the up keep of someone else's brats, like my sister's kid for example?
