Everyone is Lovable

Doug Hauptman and Sumiko Chadwell • September 20, 2022

We are all a child of God and capable of both loving and being loved.


We Are God’s Children 


Children are born innocent and unconditionally lovable. No matter what choices or actions a child displays, we are to love them without harsh judgement. As we turn into adults, we become accountable for our actions and our behavior directly effects how others perceive us. This leads to contrast throughout mankind and we begin to develop friends versus enemies. However, deeming people unlovable and deciphering to have enemies has absolutely no benefit to your life. 


The best way to remember that hate has no place in our hearts, is to turn to God. All adults are forever God’s children. God has unconditional love for all and studying his word can greatly encourage forgiveness and acceptance of others into your daily life. Let’s reflect. 


“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8 


Although we sinned, Christ still died for us. This action alone should help us understand that enemies do not exist outside our own perception and judgement. All are worthy of love and all are lovable. Loving those who are difficult to love, is extending our love received from Christ. 






It Feels Good to Love 


Take a moment and reflect on a scenario when you said something terrible or acted in a way that you later regretted. Now think about how those around you offered forgiveness and how that forgiveness felt. It’s likely that you felt relieved and changed how you handled similar situations in the future. Forgiveness is a form of love. 


Forgiving someone can feel equally liberating as being forgiven. When you hold a grudge, it doesn’t feel good and invites anxiety and anger into your life. While you may think that this grudge is teaching the person at hand a lesson, it is not. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Holding anger for someone is giving them control over your feelings and, in some scenarios, your life. When you release the hate, you can begin to think and act with your heart instead of your ego. The picture may become clearer as you start to perceive situations with compassion and forgiveness becomes effortless. 


“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.” – Matthew 5:38-42 


By forgiving and welcoming in only words and actions of love, you gain back that control. If someone treats us badly, we are allowed to feel hurt, but it is never a reason to hurt them back. The cliché saying, “two wrongs don’t make a right” holds true in this case. When we love others unconditionally, we become proof of God’s word, as we become the vessel for the extension of this love. 


Love From a Distance 


“But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” – Luke 6:27-28 NASB 


Loving others does not always mean we need to be physically present in that person’s life. Even at a distance, we can still project love! Praying is a great way to love others who we may not be ready to physically be around. Many people act in harmful ways because they are hurt deep inside. Anger is a secondary emotion to sadness. Someone who treats others badly was likely treated badly themselves, hence where they learned such behavior. Pray for their healing, happiness, and forgiveness. 


We can also practice speaking positively about those we dislike. Gossip is the language of the ego, and doing so brings nothing but negativity into our lives. Gossip is passing judgment without allowing the other person to defend themselves. It only feeds our ego into believing our reaction to the situation was justified. This does not solve anything and can make us look untrustworthy to those we are gossiping to. We should speak kindly of our enemies and stay present. 


All Are Lovable 


In conclusion, all living creatures are lovable and a creation of God. The ability to love is the primary evidence of Christ living through us. We are all prone to making mistakes and likewise, we can all make changes. This is what growth looks like and we must be loved in order to have an inspiration and desire for such growth. 


Next time you are feeling like a person in your life is unlovable, turn to God. Pray for them as he does for us and wish abundance and happiness for all. By doing this, we can feel less angry and use our energy into creating good.

 This persecution of Trump reminds me of times in my youth growing up in Oakland CA when I would be cornered and encircled by gangs of mostly black males in numbers of at least 5 or six and often as many as dozens and sometimes hundreds. I took some beatings, but not only did I give back what I was taking I most often dealt decisive blows when fist fighting as many as 6 gangland thuggish attackers. I have to this day the scars on my face and my fists that attest to the truth of this story. Not once could they ever defeat me even when against overwhelming numbers I fought and injured them and/or otherwise escaped before the final beat down which even back then would most often end in some degrading sexual abuse. Not once. Bret Hart JHS, at that time in the heart of the Oakland ghetto, was overwhelmingly black to white, with at least 75% black, 20% Asian, 4% white and 1% other. To say I was outnumbered is an understatement. Yet I fought on, and I survived to learn some very important lessons. Weak people like the current Marxists aiming for a government takeover are the bullies and indeed outnumber the rest of the actual patriots in many of the east coast and west coast cities, but not in the rest of the country. I was never forced to run from any less than three of these racist people, meaning on many occasions I successfully fought off at least 3, 4, 5 and even six at a time. As my reputation established itself there was not even one person at that school that would dare to take me on solo. This is the God's truth. Now I'm not trying to say that I am some sort of tough guy, but the bottom line is that I knew I was full of love and these people were evil because they hated me for just the color of my skin. So even though I still loved, and the black girls of the school mostly loved me too in return, this just made the bullies in the bunch hate me even more. So with blind rage I would use martial arts and my speed and size to inflict horrific damage while using my mostly superior brain to smartly duck, fake and counter to strike them again and again with my fists. What for me usually ended in skinned and bruised knuckles ended for my opponents in broken bleeding noses, broken and bleeding cheeks and cheekbones, a couple popped eyeballs and numerous other serious injuries. So, by my calculation people like me and Trump can defeat all these losers by at least a 5 to 1 ratio but even more the fact is that the actual targets of the hatred from the left are at least 65% of the population. We the people are the victims of this attempt to overthrow our great nation and the laws it rests upon. This is why these evildoers are trying to further divide people by sexual identity because by race alone they will lose miserably any fair election. What kind of an evil and cynical person it is that would seek to divide by hatred the very families and community relationships that have taken hundreds of years to develop while ignoring the rights of actual born citizens in favor of illegal immigrants with no right whatsoever to this great land other than what the current written law provides? It is the corrupted, bribe taking and bribe paying, compromised, power and money hungry evil person like Joe Biden & Company as well as the sycophants in the media and academia who are hell bent to destroy most of the thigs that most of us cherish most. They want to strip us of our rights, freedom of speech, of religion, of fair representation, of equal treatment under the law, and so much more. All just so to glorify themselves. These evil persons must be defeated! So, I say let's reelect Trump and let him finish the job of clearing the swamp and any bribe taking welfare sucking gangster thug should be very careful because we are coming for you and one of us is at least equal to six of you, plain and simple.

 Most Americans are familiar with what the Chinese Communist Party consists of but as we move into a new generation, this knowledge seems to fade into the abyss of propaganda and indoctrination. Young Americans have been led away from CCP awareness over the last three decades and attempting to redirect their attention has become more than challenging. In this article we will expose the intentions of the CCP and the timeline of their strategic attempt to indoctrinate young Americans into the harmful ideologies of communism. What is the CCP? If we were to visit a college campus here in the states, many students would pose this question. However, the boomer generation would likely have an immediate and accurate response. Where is the disconnect in awareness between these two age groups? The transparency can be found when reflecting on events over the last 30 years. When analyzing a specific generation’s knowledge and beliefs, we must review a timeline of influences they have encountered in their environment. These influences include media, politics, and education. Education is the most influential of the three influences because it is the most deliberate in informing children how to think and behave. The unfortunate dilemma with this type of analysis is that we often don’t see the patterns and correlations until significant time has lapsed. Similar to the health field, these patterns are often found after the damage has been done. In contrast to our ability to develop cures for physical ailments, when it comes to belief systems being shaped over several decades, a solution will be much more difficult. When people have been subjected to the same programing and indoctrination from a small child to an educated adult, it is arduous to change their perspective. This long-term strategy is a successful way to create atotalitarian society. However, on a more positive note, we can take this information and use it to improve the next generation to come. Bringing awareness is using our most vital right, the right to free speech, to open the eyes of Americans to the harmful agendas that have snuck into our country. The goal of this article is to present information and correlations capable of bringing transparency to the CCP agenda in our country with the intention of waking up the younger generation from their indoctrinated slumber to understanding what a totalitarian society consists of. What is the CCP? According to Wikipedia, the Chinese Communist Party is: “organized on the basis of democratic centralism, a principle that entails open discussion of policy on the condition of unity among party members in upholding the agreed-upon decision”. The CCP is the ruling party over the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The party refers to their belief system as socialist with “Chinese characteristics”. Many would debate this could be swapped out for “communist characteristics”. The CCP is the second largest political party in the world with over 96 million members and controls China’s police, government, and military with this power set in stone by the Chinese constitution. The president of the CCP is Xi Jinping and the parliament is known as the National People’s Congress. Despite having one ruling party over the fourth largest country in the world, BBC reported that only around 7% of the population are loyal members. Of this 7% (6.66%), only 3,000 make up the National People’s Congress. This especially small group of members makes up the most powerful and successful party in the country. Remember, Chinas population is 1.412 billion. As for the remaining 1.3 billion, those in opposition are prohibited by law to express this opposition in any way with the consequence being persecution. As Americans, this should be an alarming consequence to note because prohibiting opposition goes against most of our amendments in the constitution. In the United States, each person gets 100% representation. We can be grateful for this right when we reflect on countries such as China allowing one person to make decisions in favor of 96 million people while simply disregarding the other 1.3 billion. This central rule over individual life is what’s known as totalitarianism. A more recent disturbing detail is the change in term limits for presidency. Throughout Chinese history the party limited presidential terms to two, but in 2018 they ruled Xi Jinping to be able to serve indefinitely. This was an alarming decision that only stacked on top of China’s troubling agendas. Xi Jingping has been accused of being the most controlling leader in the history of the country. His main tactic in gaining totalitarian control is controlling the media, news, and education. These same three influences are increasingly becoming controlled here in the United States and China’s hands are not clean. Jingping also uses opposition consequences to control China. By this I mean civilians are threatened with torture, starvation, or worse, if they do not comply with totalitarian authority. These are the actions really of a brutal dictator. American Rights Protect Our Vulnerability While our society is susceptible to the same control via media, news, and education, we are privileged to have a constitution protecting our speech and individual freedom at all times. This is why we must exercise our rights and expose the above three tactics which are also currently being used in the United States to prevent granting control. If we succumb to a socialist system, we are handing over our individual freedom in exchange for an existence with a political system that has laws allowing for party member rule, such as that in China. While we are manipulated to believe the agenda is for the better of society, we find this to be false after the agreement into socialism has been established. At that point of realization, we cannot simply retract what we voted for because the totalitarian agenda will already be in place and quite simply, legally, take over. In The Road to Serfdom: Text and Documents--The Definitive Edition (The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek, Volume 2), this socialist system can be clearly understood and serves as a beacon call to warn us to avoid the fate of Italy, Germany, Venezuela, and all the others and of course China. The system China has would be totally unlivable for very many if not most American’s and would surely lead to the worst kind of violence.

Compassion is a trait we see the generation of millennials forgetting about as time goes on and divisive agendas continue. What is Compassion? Compassion is a term we often use but it’s meaning can get lost in translation, as there are several other similar terms. It’s important to understand the meaning of compassion so that we can fully grasp its significance and embrace it in our everyday lives. Meriam-Webster defines compassion as: “sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it.” Oxford Languages defines compassion as: “sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortune of others.” Notice how the word sympathy is used in both definitions. Sympathy is our ability to feel someone else's pain and offer care or support. This is much different that empathy, which is simply understanding another person’s suffering. From a scientific standpoint, many people argue that empathy is a more beneficial way to help others because it does not bridge the feeling between two people but rather allows one to help the other. However, sympathy is a natural reaction that humans experience between each other. Empathy takes a sense of control over your own emotions and the ability to separate them from the person needing support. Sympathy is an automatic response that stems from your own experiences and perspectives. In a way, expressing sympathy forces you to sacrifice a bit of your own energy to deeply understand and relate to another person's suffrage versus simply recognizing that suffrage is existing within them. When Do We Experience Compassion? When do we see people expressing compassion? Compassion is often demonstrated at times of suffering or pain. These situations could be as small as witnessing an elderly lady tripping at the store while carrying groceries or as significant as attending a funeral for a friend’s passed loved one. Compassion is what sets us apart from other animals in nature. It’s an immediate sacrifice to feel temporary discomfort in order to relate to another human. You may feel compassion for the lady tripping with the groceries because you had an aunt who had a deadly fall in the past, so you drop what you are doing to help, even if it delays your route or schedule at the moment. Likewise, when we attend a funeral, we most likely plan on having empathy for the loved ones suffering by being present, however, we are likely to be overrun with compassion and sympathy as memories of our own lost loved ones begin to surface in those moments. When compassion arises, we see people hugging, hands on shoulders, and eye contact with strong emotional reactions. This is the significance of human nature. Our experiences and perspectives intertwine by way of compassion and understanding like one big web of stories and endings and beginnings. Lack of Compassion Creates Division When it comes to a compassionate society here in America, we have been falling short for three decades now. We’ve seen movements in support of abortions, selective racism, and violent solutions to conflict. In 2020, we saw much of this playout when the race wars began and groups such as BLM rioted through large cities. Cities were burned to the ground, businesses were destroyed beyond repair, and frantic, scared, citizens were taking cover from it all. At the same time, we experienced a COVID19 pandemic where we witnessed America dividing based on personal medical choices. The unvaccinated were alienated as deserving to die and being irresponsible, yet the vaccine was still experimental and many questions were still unanswered about its efficacy. The division was backed up by legalities in the form of mandates. People disconnected from jobs, hobbies, friends, and family. Medical freedom was at stake and people did not care so long as it was in support of their own medical beliefs. Then came the LGBT movement of 2021. In the past, America has become very accepting and open to the LGBT community, but in this particular year the support went from equal to manipulatively intentional. We saw children being invited to inappropriate pride parades with nude adults, sex education curriculum creeping down to our 5 and 6 year old kids, and laws attempting to legalize underage sex changes. Parents all across America became scared of losing their parental rights. Reflecting back on the race wars, pandemic, and LGBT push, many might ask how society became so violent, compassionless, and unforgiving about life. The answer to this question lies in the timeline of those involved and how America has transformed over that time span. The majority of the LGBT community, BLM rioters, and mandate advocates are in fact millennials.

Our country promises fair justice for all, however We The People have been subjected to a blatant 2 tier justice system. Success Is Fair In the great country of America, we are free to be as successful as our determination allows. Our constitutional rights allow us to experience equality and receive justice. We can become the CEO of our own business or we can be homeless, living off of the streets. Both have advantages and disadvantages related directly back to our choice and motivation to become self-sustained. In other words, our free will determines much of the direction we go in life. If you are wealthy, you earn certain luxuries in life such as a big house, a new car, a well provided for family, or a position with power. While others may not have these luxuries, we still consider the diversity of success in our country as fair. We work for it, we deserve it. This is a huge contributing factor to why people move to the land of the free, home of the brave. You can earn a certain level of power and with this power you can gain control over your environment and experience. However, in instances out of our control we heavily rely on our justice system. Justice Is Not What else does a superior income or status include aside from what is earned in the material world? Many Americans would agree that the upper class and people in power additionally have privileges in the justice system. We call this the Two-Tier Justice System which goes against the idea that rich or poor, powerful or not, we all deserve fair trial in the court of law. However, average Americans have received a harsher set of punishment than those with money. These are the simplest terms we can fathom about this topic but let's dive deeper. The media controls much of the story line we see the masses partaking in, but like we have learned in many other instances, there is almost always something much more significant lying just below the pushed narrative. Distractions Protect Power During the last few years, we have seen a shift in society that has caused havoc in our beautiful country. High profile cases such as those with Jeffery Epstein, Hilary Clinton, and other elites, were spotlighted. We also had one of the most controversial presidential elections in history. The public awaited answers and pushed their concerns, yet we never saw hardly any justice for these situations. Instead, we became distracted by pandemics, riots, violence, and even the altering of our genetic makeups. We found society entering races wars, controversy over medical freedoms, and just a year later, gender wars. While the very people in leaderships roles, philanthropy, and government were being investigated, the masses became completely redirected to inner division amongst ourselves. This is what we call an agenda, distraction, and media control. Society began forming divisive movements with corrupt missions tied back to money. We saw the attention being shifted from poverty vs power to white vs black and gay vs straight, and vaccinated vs unvaccinated. We began fighting with each other instead of fighting for justice for all from the biggest elephant in the room, the elites. What was once a frequently spoken about issue became buried under media driven hate and the breaking of unity in every way possible. Looking back at the big picture, we were pinned against each other in order to take the heat off of the true criminals of the country, those in power. The Leftist Agenda to Divide Now listen closely. Which political party pushed this agenda of virtue signaling and wokeness? It was the party who thrives off of announcing good intentions with little to no focus on statistics and outcomes. This is none else but the Democratic party. First, they pushed us to fear a virus regardless of the science not adding up. They refused to answer questions and the vaccine became a decision of right vs wrong, with the leftists deciding it was right. A simple concept like this came close to taking full control of our medical freedom ensured by our constitutional rights. Why? Because people were convinced it was the only acceptable choice in order to be deemed caring and humane citizens. COVID19 became the only headline in America for over 12 months. Citizens were arrested for refusing masks in public while the Secretary of State and Mayors of major cities were getting haircuts and traveling around maskless. Even the governor of California, Gavin Newsome, was allowed to keep his business open while all others closed. We also saw riots that swept through our country during this period. Big cities were burned, small businesses were ravenously robbed and destroyed. Violence sky rocketed within major cities such as Chicago, losing more children to cross fire than from the virus. Race wars returned to America, all under the leftist disguise of fighting for equality that already existed. The government officials who pushed, accepted, and even instigated this turmoil were never served any responsibility for the detrimental outcomes. Soon after, we found ourselves dividing by gender. The LGBT movement became the new headline. Parents were threatened by government officials over their parental rights. Children became exposed to inappropriate sexual education and optional gender reassignments against parental acceptance. All of these events were agendas pushed solely for division because a divided society will pay no attention to those in power, especially if these same people are funding all of the factors that go into the division. This is a classic example of Hegelian Dialect; a problem is made by the same party providing the solution. While we were fighting the justice system with race, gender, and medical decisions, we abandoned the spotlight on these superior persons receiving corrupt justice. Hidden Headlines Hilary Clinton Back in 2016, Hilary Clinton was spotlighted for her blatant mishandling of classified government information. It’s been reported that she had her Filipino immigrant maid Marina Santos print off, email, and copy, thousands of top secret and classified government documents, all of which Santos had no security clearance to access. Santos also had direct access to the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, a highly confidential room. The FBI opened an investigation of the Clinton laptop and emails though it was quickly closed and the deleted emails and laptop were not discovered. Just a few months later, a new case opened surrounding Anthony Wiener which had ties back to Clinton’s Blackberry, also a suspicion in her investigation. No further action was taken. She was never prosecuted for her mishandling of classified government information despite the high up leadership roles she was responsible for. Let’s also not forget her involvement with using a public server for classified information during the Obama administration! No further investigation took place . Jeffrey Epstein Jeffrey Epstein was the center of one of the highest profile child sex trafficking rings involving hundreds of elites yet his death was not investigated. Even his partner Ghislaine Maxwell, only received a 20-year sentence and the public was rejected any footage of the court hearing. The flight log of Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious Lolita Express was perhaps the most disturbing evidence of all. This particular plane transported elites directly to the island where the nightmare crimes took place against children. Names listed on the flight log included hundreds of celebrities and people in leadership roles ranging from actors such as Chris Tucker and Kevin Spacey to the famous Prince Andrew. Epstein's mysterious death took place in his jail cell before his trial. Though he was the most notorious inmate at the time, somehow the cameras allegedly malfunctioned at his time of death along with other questionable circumstances. No further investigation took place. Presidential Election of Trump vs Biden  The presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was under scrutiny from both officials and the public. The election was proven to have security and integrity flaws in multiple ways ranging from using sharpies to vote, to camera footage of suspicious activity at the voting centers. In some states, dead citizens were also found to have voted! Regardless of these blatant mistakes and fraud, the election was certified and the evidence was swept under the democratic rug. This was perhaps the most significant evidence of voter fraud in history yet it hardly received fair justice in its investigation. No further investigation took place. More recently, Hunter Biden was proven to have ties with China, all of which is father President Joe Biden was aware of. Yet we only hear and read about Hunter on small time podcasts and the very few unbiased networks left. This seems to be the trend when the leftists don’t want corrupt agendas exposed and is also the precursor to the censorship of right leaning Americans on social media, thus invading our right to free speech. While we can clearly see that the elites are practically immune to the justice system, let's look at a major event where our justice system downright failed the average American. I am referring the January 6th protest at the Capitol

"United We Stand, Divided We Fall", a phrase that has continued to represent the strength of our country. Introduction As we reflect on the last few years of events in our country, we can appreciate the meaning behind “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”. We have witnessed havoc throughout our communities and this havoc has stemmed from within our own country and society. We have fought wars and succeeded through endless battles to become as free and flourishing as we are today. However, these successes must be celebrated with unity, not division, or else why are they an accomplishment at all? Americans continue to take their freedoms for granted by dividing over anything and everything they are told is right. Division amongst We The People will destroy our liberty and independence quicker than any other outside force can. Here I would like to discuss the significance of “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” in a generation that has become ignorant of liberty and freedom. Origin This phrase can be related back to many speeches, songs, mottos, and famous quotes, but where did we adopt such a moving notion? The phrase dates back to the Greek storyteller Aesop in the 6th Century B.C. In his fable, he used it in two different contexts. In The Four Oxen , he used the phrase to demonstrate the strength in many oxens against the lion versus just one. This reiterates the capability of strength in a group when joined in as one. "A lion used to prowl about a field in which four oxen used to dwell. Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came near, they turned their tails to warn another, so that whichever way he approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. At last, however, they fell a- quarrelling among themselves, and each went off to pasture alone in the separate corner of the field. Then the Lion attacked them one by one and soon made an end of all four. United we stand, divided we fall." It was also implied a second time in the notable Bundle of Sticks, portraying once again the notion of strength in numbers. This phrase would go on to be used time and time again throughout the future in not only America, but the entire world. While it may change in text, the meaning remains the same. "... do you not see how certain it is that if you agree with each other and help each other, it will be impossible for your enemies to injure you? But if you are divided among yourselves, you will be no stronger than a single stick in that bundle." Biblical References This phrase can also be found implied in biblical references from the New Testament as follows: Matthew 12:25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. Mark 3:25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.  Corinthians 1:10 I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
