Keeping the Commandments

Is there any person or religion that disagrees that it is wrong to kill people.  Then there should be no exception for war, abortion, retribution, execution, or euthanasia. Period.  It is wrong to lie, stretch the truth, withhold information, and gossip.  It is wrong to want, take, or steal what belongs to others.  There are seemingly good arguments that there are grey areas; that right and wrong are not black and white. That rubber band has been stretched so far now that it is limp, frayed or broken.

We should love, honor, and forgive our parents, our leaders, and our neighbors.  We should feed the hungry, clothe the needy, care for the sick and those imprisoned.  We should have jobs that reflect our values.  We should use our resources wisely and share generously.  Putting God first, means putting love first. It requires self sacrifice and it is very tiring.  That is why we need a Sabbath,  a day of rest and regeneration.  We need to refuel with the love of others and learn of new and better ways to serve those in need. Song and dance can be tiring as well, but it sure lifts the spirit to start anew.

The Father's will is that we love one another with all our heart, soul, and mind. Not for personal gain or recognition or power. Just simply love.
