“In very truth he was, the noblest work of God — an honest man”. -Abraham Lincoln

This powerful quote should be shouted aloud to us all, to be true brings light but to bring lies, false statement only brings destruction. Give a man power and be sure to see his true colors come before us all. A man with power should use it for the better of the people, to help bring our beloved nation back together, to piece the once great Godly nation back to it’s glory that we once knew! To be part of something great, lasts forever, in our hearts we will never forget a once great leader that walked in the White House, one that never gave up to bring justice to the people, one that did what he thought was right to bring fairness, to bring freedom to so many that were looking for, one…

Writing is a companion to my thinking


018I write because I always loved to write since a child, everything from songs, short stories, poetry and philosophical nonsense. Writing is a companion to my thinking which I do and sometimes I do way too much. I may not be the greatest writer nor are my writings anything but average and that is if they even qualify as that. I seek no prize nor do I worry about or seek to become a published author, for writing is its own reward to me. I’m happy if just one person enjoys one of my writings and/or finds one of them to be helpful or interesting.

Sometimes we I feel like i’m slowly slipping away from you, going the other way and I keep looking back and every time i do, you become more and more unnoticeable to the eyes.

Why i keep thinking of you in such a special way has been eating me more and more everyday as I want to know you more and more every moment we spend together.

Our talks, they are as sweet as the taste of coffee on my lips each morning, which i become more interested in each of our planned or unplanned encounters. Your words to my ears are kind, soft, special, trustworthy, bright, full of insightful knowledge that makes each moment with you that more special when i’m alone and is scared or just needs something positive to get me through a situation and or the day.

To stand for something false is worthless, but To stand for something true is worth giving everything you've got

To be united we must first ask ourselves the question, are we willing to put our own ego’s aside and come together? It’s hard to see if we will ever come together for the goodness of our once great nation, but i mean it’s like all we do is fight against one another for power and we all know where that has brought us right? Right into debt, into a place where it’s gonna take a pure miracle to get us back up onto the top. Will we ever have a great Leader like Lincoln to bring the broken country back to it’s Godly ways? So many questions are out there than answers and sometimes i do wonder but to wonder is to give up but rather than take action, us the people needs to stop having the mind set of, “it’s all about me” attitude and get to realize…

“And having thus chosen our course, without guile, and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear, and with manly hearts”. -Abraham Lincoln

For the last couple of days i’ve been pondering over how we sometimes forget that everything happening around us, happened to us and is going to happen has already been set by our awesome Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ but it has been shown to me as just this past Monday i was off from work and just lazying around like i always do, i was reading the wonderful book that was written by Bill O’ Reilly, Killing Lincoln”, which by the way is a great read for all you fans of Bill but anyways as i was reading i got a phone call from one of the many companies i applied for in the Lexington area and they had…

The Battles Ahead will be won


eyeI face many battles ahead of me in this short life God has blessed me with. Some are battles forced upon me by the world I live in, others are battles of my own making through the choices made in my life. Some are battles within the heart others are battles with and within the mind. None of the battles will be easily won, but they will be won through faith and with love.

No other person can fight these battles for me, but I will not stand alone in these battles I face. He is always with me and he that is within me is greater than any enemy I shall face ahead.

I once walked in fear, I once lived in doubt and now I choose to walk in faith and to live in love.

God Bless you all

Ray Barbier.

p10061Love and its healing that’s found within its unconditional and nurturing embrace is what we all seek. To be accepted as is and without any condition by another whom we accept in the same way. To Embrace and be embraced with only the other person as our concern. To be selfless and affectionate with the other person as our motive to share love. To find one whom matters more than our selves, to see the kind of love God has given us to share with one another. To see the manifestation of love in the eyes of a child and the wonder within that child’s heart.

The innocence we had lost  can be seen in the eyes of the children and our future is within them as well. Children are the seeds of love we have planted and are the saplings we are supposed to nurture. Look to them for the…

Thoughts on 2/23/2013


God, the Father watches us all everywhere.

Stop trying to rely on your own strength , learn to rely on that inner strength God provides you. It is a strength beyond the physical and mental strengths we cultivate and acquire through life. Remember where all your strengths come from, for they all originate from God. And be thankful for what you have as well as what you have had as well.

we should love one another as Jesus commanded us to do


dd43853So easy it is to open your eyes and see the needs of others, so simple is it to open your heart and give to those who need. It isn’t all about money, it’s about friendship, fellowship, kindness and compassion. Even a smile or a kind word can change the hearts and minds of those around you. A little compassion can go a long way in helping someone get through the day. Just give what you have to give to help others and it will multiply within the person you help.

Try to remember the person you seeing in need, be it a need of food, clothes or just a kind word or two could easily be you. So try to treat others with that fact in mind, they too are only human and have problems, challenges and circumstances just like you do. They are your brothers and sisters in the eyes of God, we should love one another as Jesus commanded us to do.

God Bless

Mankind wasn’t ready for his level of love


DSC_0337There once was a man who taught peace, forgiveness and love. He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind and even raised the dead. He did all of it in love and for his father. Mankind wasn’t ready for his level of love and mercy and many saw him as a threat to their position and or power and in the end they put him to death. There once was a man who was more than just a man who suffered torture, chastising, ridicule and in the end a horrible and painful crucifixion. He laid his life down in love to save the same people whom put him to death. He died to save the Jews and the Gentiles alike and through him we all can be saved.

Jesus was God’s love manifested in human form, sent to teach us,save us and to be the bridge between humanity and God. Love comes from God and Jesus and we are supposed to be the propagators of God’s love. We are to love one another, we are not to judge or to be as the Pharisees were.

Be thankful, forgiving, loving, caring and live your life in Christ doing as he has taught us to do.
