“Love does not obey our expectations; it obeys our intentions.” ~ Lloyd Strom

Have you ever felt less about a relationship when it didn’t exactly pan out like a fairy tale? I sure did.

I had it stuck in my mind that a great relationship should be picture perfect.

When reality would give me a sobering slap showing it was far from perfect, I would walk away from a relationship that refused to meet my standards.

As we wind into the last quarter of 2014, the pace of truly historic and world-changing events have been speeding at us like never before.

It is much like Lady Liberty making her way across a tightrope one thousand feet above a nation of onlookers during a rainstorm.

And to make things more challenging, she also juggles an increasingly impossible number of chainsaws and hand grenades, creating too many distractions to handle all at once.

Inevitably, the chainsaws slice her arms off and sends everything plummeting towards the crowd below. The onlookers, who never realized that standing directly below wasn't the best decision, now scramble to avoid being maimed by the falling debris.

But, exactly who or what is responsible for creating these deadly chainsaws and hand grenades, not only in the U.S., but throughout the world now? More importantly, what can we individually do so we do not become part of the panicked masses who took no action to shield themselves from these obvious calamities until it was too late?
