absolutely LOVE this idea~~~ so much 7 grandchildren. truly blessed. I pretty much raised myself since I was 6. Never thought much about it until I had a kid and KNEW I wanted to marry a woman that would raise my child full time. Glad you are here!
What can I do if you go forever?
I believe in The God of No Compulsion (in religion, worldview etc.). I am not Haredi, Catholic or Sunni. I am of the Abrahamic Creed. #AbrahamicCreed #MillatIbrahim God's laws are to be forced on ourselves, not others. (Thou shalt... is directed at YOU the reader, listener etc.) I come in peace. Intentions, Words and Deeds. It was after Abraham that there were followers of Torah, Gospel and Quran. Therefore, I read the Bible in light of the Quran. Therefrom, only The Creator is the one who has control over the affairs of His creation. I condemn any human like me who wants to make slaves of other humans just like me. We are all on a journey of figuring out why we are here. #Bible Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. #Quran chp 41 ver 34 Not equal is the good response and the bad response. You shall resort to the nicest possible response. Thus, the one who used to be your enemy, may become your best friend.
I’ve been told that my life plays out like a cartoon series, with crazy characters and questionable life choices leading to comedic outcomes. I see it a bit less exciting than that though. I guess I’ll just lay out the basics ; I come from an Icelandic family on my mothers side and my dads side is a bit more complicated as he was adopted but found his birth parents in his 20s and long story short I wound up selling large volumes of weed for my dads real dad in my 20s. That’s a story in of itself I was raised by my grandparents because my parents were 15 when they had me and my dad had no intention of informing anyone he had a child at all until my mom showed up on his adopted parents doorstep with me in hand. I grew up skateboarding everywhere and stole anything that wasn’t bolted down and I was dean good at it too. 😏 I got in a fair bit of trouble in school and was expelled from my city’s public school system. Trouble with the law as a teen. I did security for underground raves with questionable individuals. I pride myself in knowing “a guy “ for any problem that may arise. Fast forward and I am a father of two awesome kids Was working a well paying job for 13 year but left last summer because of my disgust in the ethics of the company I was working for and their complete disregard for their employees but obsessed need for more profits. Last year I was the president of my son’s schools parent council, I’m a sitting board member of my community league and I frequently volunteer. I now work a job I love and completely gave up on watching tv, drinking any alcohol, trusting “ the experts” and I’ve never been happier. I can elaborate on a lot of that but for the most part that’s a quick summary as to not bore you too much. Cheers, from Alberta
