Rule Number One of singing the blues...
You must hurt in a soulful way. The way that binds you to another. I was into the blues far before I knew what it meant. Far before you taught me how to listen.
Your blues turned into my own. I did all I could to control it, to tame the way in which your dusk colored eyes peered into mine....
But you were persistent, and all I had so, I made the most out of it. For you. For me. For us..
This is not a fictional story. It is a collection of real life facts about what will happen if humanity fails to avert the climate catastrophe.
Mother Nature’s body mutilated. She lies there, her power, her glory, her immortal libertyRendered helpless by our slashing roads and our piercing pipelinesOur factories spewing pollution into the air, the lands, the waterOur mines digging down like stabbing knives into her Our mother’s body mutilatedAnd with her humanity is mutilatedWithout her we cannot be
Can there be a modern Eden? How about a better society? A better government? A better nation? A better world? Worldwide Prosperity.
Imagine: A better civilization. Can we live in peace with one another? If we live in peace there won't be any war, there won't be any crime, there won't be any hatred. Can you imagine no poverty, no hunger and prosperity for all?
A very popular song from another visionary, John Lennon.

Imagine no possessionsI wonder if you canNo need for greed or hungerA brotherhood of man
Imagine all the peopleSharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamerBut I'm not the only oneI hope someday you'll join usAnd the world will live as one
Songwriter: John Winston Lennon
Imagine, that's what visionaries do. And visionaries can create the future and the world around us.
Share the vision. Start creating!
Imagine:A 30-hour work week, and one week vacation every month.No house payments, no rent, no car payments, no insurance payments.Free education and health care. No one hungry. No warfare. No jails or prisons. Criminal activity will eventually fade away.
Impossible! You say.
Only a dreamer (or a visionary) could think like that.
Share the vision, create the future.
The above six visions are only a small part of a better future for mankind. But it will take time.
It is possible!
We are not talking just national. We are seeing this worldwide. Over 8 billion people. Can you believe?
Belief. Faith.
Faith can move mountains. Faith can create Love,
and Love can change the world!
The most popular book in the world predicts a better world to come:
2 Peter 3:13 ESV
But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another
Numbers 23:19 ESV God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
Ephesians 2:10 ESV For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Galatians 6:9 ESVAnd let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Micah 6:8 ESVHe has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
The Holy BibleComing forth! Becoming anew.
The greatest book ever written. Billions of people would agree with that statement.Originating over 4000 years ago. Sixty-six small books compiled together. Written by dozens of individuals. But the words are truly inspired and anointed by the Holy Spirit of God.
Almighty God. A personal God. The true God. The God of Truth. Truth is the Revelation of Love.
The Bible is divided into sections. The Old Testament and the New Testament. Old Testament about Jehovah, a personal God for the people of Israel. New Testament about Jesus, the Son of God, for the entire world.We are talking about personal and physical manifestations of deities. Manifestations in the flesh.We will be reading through the Bible and see what God really says about a better future
And we are talking about a new future for all of us here on planet Earth!

The Fellowship of Believers(Acts 4:32-37)
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45.Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.46. With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47. praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
The premise is simple; everyone should be accepted with equal rights, no matter their religion, skin colour, sexuality, gender or gender identity. When Blake Reid, an activist, organises the “A Higher Plane” movement to spread acceptance for minorities, he moves boundaries that aren’t often moved, causing the media to twist the stories every which way. Especially, when a young, Muslim, university student is killed at one of the protests, all hell breaks loose in the media. Meanwhile, Theo Penev, a young Bulgaria/Chinese diver who has just suffered a major crack in his perfect career, struggles with his gender identity. With the media’s constant analysis of his life, he sees himself forced to choose between his career and his identity. Nehir, a young second-generation immigrant rebels against her mum’s lack of will to integrate into the community in which they have lived for years. At the heart of the European Union, Katrina, the black, female secretary to Benjamin Artmann, a conservative member of the European Parliament, is constantly pushed aside in favour of the white secretaries in the institution dominated by white men. But when worlds collide, and the things you would rather not share come into the light, you will face opposition and intolerance, and you will light a fire to demolish the opposition. Even if that opposition and intolerance comes from within yourself or the people you thought you could trust.
Far, far away, a long, raw-throated scream sounded across the bridge. The call immediately followed up by all the animal-humans surrounding the small circle of teenagers, the sound followed by the tide of ferals.
In a future where Mankind drove itself mad, a secretive and powerful organization attempts to restart the legacy of the human race. Fixated on creating a new world and society, they will not stop at anything, including experimenting on a batch of children to create the central figures on the dawn of a new beginning. Children that will be the progenitors of the new mankind.
One of them, Marcus finds that he will have to fight against his very purpose to ensure that Mankind will not lose it's humanity.
