Can you judge a book by its cover?

Have you heard this saying, but what is inside those covers and man's heart?

There are lies and manipulations out in the world.

One is in marketing. Do you have to go on and on and on till you lose me? Sometimes I do not finish reading your pitch. If you have to manipulate, the product is not worth it anyway.

Then when I finished reading, I was so aggravated at your pitch that I didn't buy it. I would have purchased in the beginning if you had not gone on and on with tall tales to the end. The gimmicks make you think something terrible happened to these stars, hook you until you read to the future, and it's all a big sales hoax. Like the one where you acted like Dolly Parton died, but she was selling gummies.

The bad thing about it is you must keep hitting the next button. But there are ads all around those, and if you hit the wrong button, you are in trouble. You get lost in the ad matrix — -Ohhh!!! You get another ad to try to suck you in.

I refuse to become one of these writers. If I write any lies, it is not of an open conscious. I genuinely believe it and do not want to push sales on anyone.

False Price Advertising

I have bad knees. This one ad went on to say try our patch for $17.00. So I did. They charged me for four boxes. In the end, it would not be put back for three boxes. Something was messed up in the PayPal closing, and it was too late by the time I noticed. In the comments, I saw they did a lot of people that way. When you hit enter, it charged for four boxes. It was like it was set up that way. The patches are tremendous but there again dishonesty. I will not buy from them again.

Power of Words

Words are powerful. I was sick for about four days, and right before I got down, I managed to get out three stories. I read a lot of stories, and I read some hateful stories.

We are to love one another and love our enemy. I know that people grew up in bad Christian homes. But people also grew up in bad Muslim, Hindu, and other dwellings.

You cannot ruin other people's reputations because they took their religion (Christianity) and did wrong with it.

We cannot take scripture out of context. Words have been changed over and over. We have to study. You take the word to the original Greek and Hebrew to see what it means.

Many Christians have made a religion out of Christianity and their denomination. I am not religious, but I love my creator and study his word, not what man has tried to make it.

Unforgiveness causes a lot of heartache for yourself and others. So I hope we writers do not abuse our extraordinary abilities to do good for people. We should lift people up to stand for their place here to use the talents that God has given them. Forgive others speedily.

Nehemiah 8:10 Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Share our stories: the good, the bad, the ugly. But not to put us all in one pot like we are all bad.

I have friends of all origins. It is exciting to learn how others live.

And I pray they will learn of Jesus and accept him for salvation. That is to love the Lord God with all your heart and to love one another. The genuine belief, not the evil tidings I read about.

Jesus loved all humanity. Humanity did not love all people.

Thank you for reading my stories.
