Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Last night I asked my husband why President Trump always acts like he's a time traveler who has seen the future, seems to know everything, exhumes 100% confidence, and totally in control. The hubby said it's because Trump lives in the end, in the results that he wants. He acts in the knowing of the outcome, not thinking/believing. So basically he acts by faith, not by fear. Like it already happened the way he wants it to be (Putting aside project looking glass for now).
This is a very important lesson we all can learn from. We have to visualize what we want in our personal lives, pray and ask God for those things be it health, prosperity, healing in relationships, sobriety, a better future for you and your loved ones. And then act like it has been done, God has answered your prayer. Walk, speak, and act in faith (not fear and doubt).
Very interesting. I would like to enter into that idea. Then I would be less cranky I’m coming around though.
Have you heard of this book?
In 1893, an American lawyer named Ingersoll Lockwood wrote Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Journey. It tells the story of a wealthy young man, Baron Trump, who is bored with his life of luxury and sets off on an adventure. Though written nearly 130 years ago, it reads as if it was written for today’s Trump family. These parallels have caused some conspiracy theorists to claim that U.S. President Donald Trump is a time traveler who inspired Lockwood’s tale. Of that I’m dubious, but if Mr. Trump were to read and learn from this story, he and the country could benefit in many ways.

Yes I have heard of that book and it sounds very interesting. I’m just not a huge book reader. I think there’s a series as well.
I go in spurts of book reading so I get that.
I love this and it’s so very true. What many people would view as arrogance is just faith in action. That applies to us all. Trump is living the word of the Bible, which says to have faith and speak what will be instead of what they are . Smart hubby you have there. 👍
Thanks fren. It's difficult to live by faith and I'm also trying every day. Let us all stay strong in faith :)
Matthew 17:20 “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Sometimes it can be tough to have faith, but what else do we have? When we don’t trust, then fear settles in, and we are instructed to Fear Not.
Very interesting perspective.
Thus is what differentiates confidential people from the rest as well. They always believe the outcome they are striving for will happen
