​God Wants His Rainbow Back.
By Clay Burton
So, let's really look at that Rainbow, before it became a flag of sexual diversity. I mean the acronyms for LGBT are sexual preferences.
As for Gay Pride?
I suppose that, if after a night of passion, that you left your partner exhausted with a big smile on their faces that would be something to be Proud of.
Oh No, I Did Not Just Say That!
Here We Go!
The Book of Genesis was the first book to be written down. This would have happened around 1450 BC to 1400 BC.
Genesis 9
After The Great Flood.
8 Again, God said to Noah and his sons:
9 I am going to make a solemn promise to you and to everyone who will live after you.
10 This includes the birds and the animals that came out of the boat.
11 I promise every living creature that the earth and those living on it will never again be destroyed by a flood.
12-13 The rainbow that I have put in the sky will be my sign to you and to every living creature on earth. It will remind you that I will keep this promise forever.
14 When I send clouds over the earth, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
15 I will remember my promise to you and to all other living creatures. Never again will I let floodwaters destroy all life.
16 When I see the rainbow in the sky, I will always remember the promise that I have made to every living creature.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
However, for those who do not do God, but only do science...
It was Sir Isaac Newton who proved that white light is made up of a spectrum of colours by splitting light with a prism.
His discovery, together with the work of others before him, finally explained how rainbows form.
He also noted that the sequence of the colours of a rainbow never changed, always running in the same order.
Hmmmm? So, I don't see any refrences made towards sexaulity and rainbows, whether that be culture, religion or science.
Although today's social norms, they are about "identity" which seems to be the problem that is the motivator.
But, the motivation is to constantly try to find out who you are by changing how you were born, so you never likely are going to find out.
That is until you run through the entire alphabet of letters. I suppose numbers and symbols could be used.
Ya gotta be yourself, as you are, before you make any changes or else you will forever be changing.
But, ya know they say? "You can change a light bulb, but it's still a light bulb".

​Howdy Friends!
Ok so, if you know me well, by now you must have noticed that when I therapeutically publish some amateur creative writing that my mental hypomania tends to speak my mind, without thinking about it for too long.
Almost spontaneously my thinking pours out of my head faster than my finger's can hit the keyboard.
You can call me CrAzY if you like, but just don't call me late for dinner! lol! I know that's a very old joke, but hey, I couldn't resist.
And bedsides, I ain't no spring chicken! lol! That's another old metaphor by the way, just in case your too young to know. Ah never mind.
I'm so CrAzY, as a matter of fact, that I am unafraid of many things in life that I probably should be afraid of. Ya know the curious cat? But, I have no idea why I am still alive. I spent my nine lives by the time I was 15.
So being CrAzY, like most all attributes humans possess has its pros and cons, good and bad, and up's and down's. Depends on the momentary situation and circumstances occurring at the time.
Habitually thinking outside of the norm boundaries does allow me to sees things in perspectives that may otherwise be bound by logic. Think Salvador Dali having a picnic in The Land of Oz.
At other times, and in other moods, I am actually wanting to think logically. I often yearn for the simplicity that might minimize my complexity. To still the rough waves crashing against the rocks on the shoreline, that might create calm waters.
That was a nice one! "Still the rough waves. Calm the water". Get it?Yea, I'm good.
So, with all of this shared, it seems that God is always sending me on a quest for higher knowledge. To seek out the mysteries of the universe. To unlock, the axis that lies deep within a cognitive chasm. An abyss that is our bottomless Cerebral Cortex Vortex!
See, another nice one. "Cortex Vortex?" Get it? Come on Man. You know I got this!
So Many Questions! So Many Unknown Answers!!!
Like when Charmin toilet paper claims to, "Let You Enjoy The Go!".
As to suggest that is you use Charmin, then your bowel movements will be a a wonderful and pleasant experience. A memory to be relished for years to come! A Flatulent Fantasy!
But here's the pondering question.
How can you "Enjoy The Go" if you use Charmin "After The Go?" I mean what do you, in order to have such an enjoyable movement, before the movement is over, with Charmin?
I mean if it had the daily news with pictures printed on the toilet paper so you could read it, I would probably enjoy the Charmin Go. But heck! I might as well use the newspaper after I read it, after I'm done with My Go!
Omg! This and so many other enigmatic queries of science plague my mind! Why God, Why do I care? Why must I know!? I just want a simple answer, or to nothing at all! Please God!!!
For once, I just want to watch a T.V. commercial about a new medicinal product on the market each week, that will give you energy, make you feel young, help you become popular, and go live in Bahamas resort, and yet, not question all the side effects that can cause cause cancer, blindness, respiratory problems, migraines, venereal warts, gangrene and possible death!
Is it me? Really? Am I CraZy?

​A Veterans Day Tribute
by- Clay Burton
There simply are no words...
How could I ever express the grace that I have received, given by God and delivered to me by his angel warriors?
The brave, the courageous. The unselfish and the bold. The defenders, protectors and preservers of our nations constitutional rights and liberties. Our freedom.
Those fearless in duty and so very afraid in battle. Who risk, their lives, their limbs, their eyes, ears and minds. Who sacrificed their families, husbands, wives and children.
In the knee high, freezing cold mud and constant rains.
In the sweltering heat and humidity.
No food, no showers, no beds, no shelter.
Exposed to mosquitos, rats, bugs, snakes, disease and God only knows what more?
In unfamiliar, alien territory across the globe, in another far off land, dreaming of home and praying to the lord almighty with their last dying breathe.
Many of the these magnificent hero's are so young, and yet they received their calling and were eagerly willing to do the next right thing.
Not for themselves, but for their children and their future. Something most important and worth dyeing for.
Ask yourself. What are you willing to give up, that you have right now?
All the modem comforts and conveniences?
When the only way possible that we have all these things is because they fought and died for our opportunities.
Happy Veterans Day! Thank you dearly for your service.
God Bless America!
In God We Trust.
One Nation Under God!

​The Greatest Peace Of All, For Me,
Is When I Find It In The Worst Of Times,
I Can Find Peace In The Acceptance,
Of All My Tribulations That I Am Unable To Change.
And I Find Courage In The Trials That, I Am Able, To Change.
And Through Gods Infinite Wisdom,
I May Understand The Difference Between,
What To Accept,
To Let Go,
To Let God,
To Do Alone,
For Me,
And What Is Ours To Do, Together.
Surrendering All My Self-Will,
For Gods Will Alone.
His Reasons And Purpose,
That I May Not See Now,
That In The Future, (Perhaps) I May.
Nothing In This World Can Change,
Unless And Until I Change.
And Together We Can Do,
Through Gods Grace And Guidance,
All That Which, Needs To Be Done,
That We Could Not Do Alone!
To COVID, And Enemy Influence Of God.
I See You.
I Know That You Are There.
I Acknowledge You.
But I No L:onger Fear You.
I Will No Longer Allow You To Darken My Door.
I Will No Longer Fear Sickness Or Death.
Living This Way, Is No Way To Live.
Life Is Not Living, In Fear Of Death Each Day.
My Life Was Given,
And Any Time Be Taken Away.
And Another Day Was Never Promised.
My New Years Resolution?
To Live My Life,
As If It Were My Last Day Earth.
Celebrating Each Moment. While I Have It.
To COVID, And The Adversarial Forces,
My Scars Remain,
But You No longer Rule My Life.
Not My, Feelings And Emotions.
In One Way, Or Another,
You Are Here,
You Have Always Been Here,
And Always Will Be Here,
As Is Always Has Been Here,
My Faith, And Hope.
A New Year,
A New Beginning,
A New Opportunity.
Overcoming Adversity,
Allows Us To Know Peace,
Where There Once Was No Peace.
And Often We Must Fight For It.
We May Have To Sacrifice Our Lives.
But That Which Does Not Kill Us,
Only Makes Us Stronger.
The Future Is Not About Us.
The Future Is Every Child.
And What Will We Give, To Them?
Will Determine Everyone's Future.
Happy New Year 2022!

​An American Awakening.
A moment of terror, an eternity of great sorrow.
-by Clay Burton
Thank you to every single veteran and first responder who could do no other thing than to defend, protect and save a life. Thank you for your brave courageous, and unselfish service. You all please God so well.
The September 11 attacks, often referred to as 9/11, were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the militant Islamist terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States of America on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
Date: September 11, 2001, 7:46 AM CDT
Number of deaths: 2,996
Injuries (nonfatal): 25,000
It was not something that just happened.
Of the 2,977 victims killed in the September 11 attacks, 412 were emergency workers in New York City who responded to the World Trade Center. This included:
343 firefighters (including a chaplain and two paramedics) of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY)
37 police officers of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department (PAPD)
23 police officers of the New York City Police Department (NYPD)
8 emergency medical technicians and paramedics from private emergency medical services
3 New York State Court Officers
1 patrolman from the New York Fire Patrol
Ladies and Gentlemen of America. Lest We Never Forget.
THE LONGEST WAR:
Not only was 9/11 not something that just happened but it is I still happening.
It had never gone away. How can a 5000-year-old radical ideology go away?
Yes, folk's it's, happening, and its, happening again. And let's not ignore this fact until it's time to go buy candles, ribbons and, balloons after the fact, just so that we can have closure.
So we can call it all healing, and staying strong and resilient together.
Folks we have reached a historical level of emotional detachment, desensitization, and short attention spans. All except for all those who have lost their families, husbands, wives, children, and friends.
They can never forget until the next time, that it's time, to remember all over again.
You may think of me negatively for stirring up perceived, unnecessary, emotions of fear and worry. As if the aftermath of terrorism was necessary at all.
Meanwhile, new, news becomes old news, and old news becomes, new again.
Thinking that The U.S. pull out of Afahganatsan is over is like thinking that on May 18, 2018, at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas could not ever happen again.
As if we all thought it could ever happen to us right here at home in the first place.
And we did not. But it did. We were not prepared.
Percentage of U.S. population born since the 2001 attacks plotted by al-Qaida leaders who were sheltering in Afghanistan: Roughly one out of every four.
THE HUMAN COST:
American service members killed in Afghanistan through April: 2,448.
U.S. contractors: 3,846.
Afghan national military and police: 66,000.
Other allied service members, including from other NATO member states 1,144.
Afghan civilians: 47,245.
Taliban and other opposition fighters: 51,191.
Aid workers: 444.
Journalists: 72.
You may ask what can we do to prevent this kind of thing from happening again? I am certain there are a million things that we as Galveston County citizens can do.
But it would take getting involved. Electing leaders, forming committees, having meetings, with a diversified community in action.
But most importantly of all? Let's stop fighting each other at least as much and for right now. Is that reasonable?
We don't have to like each other to work together. And the easiest way to tolerate a co-worker is when we do not make the job all about us. But for the sake of others in need.
In WW2 The United States of American had stayed out of the war until Britain, the last stand of Europe could no, longer withstand Hitler's vast expending genocidal global domination.
We as Americans knew very well that we had to take the fight against Hitler around the world before our freedom was obliviated.
We joined forces with our allies to conquer this evil together.
But we as a nation of people also joined forces with each other. Every race, gender, religion, class, and age, here at home was very clear what was taking place.
It was literally a Do or Die, United We Stand, Divided We Fall, end of the world as we know it, life and death situation. Why is it not now?
In the next year be prepared for the emboldened regimes of terrorist organizations to taunt their victories by terrorizing us. Again.
Would you that I am inciting panic? Honey? We've been living in panic with Pandemics, Natural disasters, and War conflicts for a century now.
The problem is that we forget Because we want to forget. Because we can't sit still with technology long enough to remember yesterday.
So am I just being negative with no solutions of my own? No, I am not. I do have a solution. Pray. A lot.
Pray for everything. Give thanks, show gratitude and appreciation, be kind to each other, raise our kids by examples of mature adulthood and give, give, give!
During WW2 there were two major historical feats performed by American citizens who built or defenses and won the war. Sacrifice and Rationing.
That meant to give away and giving up. Volunteer! Everyone dropped what they were doing to do something for the war efforts. We can do this again.
No, we cannot change the country, nor the world. But we can be that change in Galveston County. Every race, gender, religion, class, and age, here at home can lead by example. We don't have to look for leaders when we can become leaders. Leaders lead not to gain flowers.
But to create more leaders. The next generations. Politicians can stop using our children as campaign slogans for building a better world and begin building better opportunities for our children.
We can no longer rely on the Government to solve all of our problems without helping the government that, We The People" formed.
What can we do to help? We could ask our Counties municipal elected officials. We're on our smartphones all day anyway. Emails? City council meetings.
Call your local City Hall for something other than to complain. Seems to me that getting involved in helping them do their jobs would mean they would have more time to do the better jobs for us.
If you feel for whatever reason that you are unable to volunteer to help. Then the best help of all is support. Support others who are able to volunteer.
Encourage, appreciate, and say thank you for your service work. CommUnity! Together We Can Do, Through God, What We Could Not Do Alone.
This is not a plea for peace and love, only. It is a call to citizens' duty, and responsibility to do the hard work that not many today seem to want to do or to give the time that we would prefer to keep to ourselves.
Not just for today, but every day. If we work hard every day, then we get used to working hard. If we don't work, then, we are not likely to embrace the earning of our rewards.
If we are given everything, then how could we appreciate all the daily gifts in our lives?
The very smallest of blessings in all of our lives each and every day.
What I am saying in all of this post. Is that inspiration, self-worth, well-being, positive feelings, that we get from achieving goals together create morale, encouragement, energy, happiness, usefulness, and inclusion.
These are only a few spiritual, principles that defend against and defeat evil.
Thank you for letting me share.
God Is In Everything.
God Bless America.
One Nation Under God (Everyone)
In God We Trust.

​Disclaimer: Delta Flight Or Fight.
-by Clay Burton
This post is based on my opinions, despite any facts that it may contain. It may be viewed as theoretically conspiratorial. But If we're concerned about those who do read this and feel that way? I wouldn't have written it.
I cannot offer different research studies, percentages, statistics, or testing as fact. As these often contradict each other due to the politically divisive, life we are living in today where "feelings" and "fear" can't conclude the facts.
Thank you biased media!
From my own opinions and research. Yes. The Delta Variant is highly contagious. However, has been thus far determined not as life-threatening as COVID-19.
I refuse to spend another year or lifetime in fear and watch our children suffer their education and mental-emotional health.
I want to hear about death toll risk, death rates, and hospitalizations. No More Unsubstantiated, Unnecessary, And Political Fear.
Get Vaccinated? Wear a Mask? What is the point?
More variants are likely to occur. Such as more variants of The Flu have occurred. I believe that all pandemics are money makers in the same way that political-global War Conflicts are big money.
Dr. Fauci, The CDC, WHO, Politicians, are always changing their positions and have been doing so creating new stresses and challenges. They claim that because science changes, so do the researched information.
I get that. I agree. At the beginning that is. But how long has it been now? And you don't know any more than you do then?
Fear is the best money maker of all. Although there is reason to fear at the beginning of any unexpected life-changing and life-threatening human global trauma.
But so far after decades of "end of the world" scenarios here we are. Resilient.
Some may call our political unrest, anger, division, chaos, and confusion a far worse scenario and much more problematic. Especially for our kid's indoctrinated belief systems.
Where is Love, Peace, Unity, Understanding, and Fun in such a dark and seemingly hopeless world?
Undetermined? Vaccinated or Unvaccinated? Once again from the start? Do masks work or not work? I always say that results, evidence, and outcomes determine the truth.
Is the Delta variant more dangerous than other variants of concern?
According to surveys conducted in the U.K., where Delta accounts for ~90% of current COVID-19 cases, symptoms of Delta tend to be a little different than other strains, but that does not necessarily mean the associated symptoms are more severe.
Research is ongoing to determine if Delta infection is associated with increased hospitalization and death. However, it appears that the Unvaccinated Folks are more at risk.
In conclusion of my opinionated views on our continuous and uncertain pandemic journey, my biggest concerns are how a life-threatening illness can change our Freedom. Our Decision making. Our Independents. Our Choices?
Folks in 243 Years we have gone through either the same crises of many different kinds or way worse!
Small Pox, Polio, the Spanish Flu, Sars, Zika, West Nile, Ebola, H1N1, H1N2, HIV/AIDS, German Measles, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, and many other epidemics and pandemics.
We here on the Gulf Coast have endured and survived The Great 1900 Storm and numerous devastating Hurricanes that have followed ever since.
And here we are. Better, Stronger, Wiser, And Ready for the next inevitable storms. And although we can never be so ready, for the unexpected? We know that God is in every storm.
Faith Not Fear. In God We Trust. God Bless America. One Nation Under God, With God All Things Are Possible.
Thanks for letting me share.

This is for Mom on Mother's Day.
For whatever legitimate, yet, unfortunate reasons and unhealthy environmental circumstances that contributed to my long journey of being lost in the world, and despite being unaware at a very young age, of why it all was at it was.
It was I who had chosen to remain a victim as I grew older and older.
That is until one day that God saw fit to show mercy on me and gave me an opportunity to get on a more rightful path. And I still walk it and have far to go. By Kingdom Come.
But it was my Mom that God chose for me, that had allowed me to be safe through her prayers. For decades I had been in every harmful and illegal, activity imaginable while sewing all my wild oats.
Yet I never have had a criminal record. Nope, none. How can this be? Because my Mom instilled in me and my brothers the importance of common courtesy and respect.
Yes Sir, No Mam, Thank you.
So when I got in trouble, (which was often) the officers that had me in the back of the patrol car would take a look at me and perhaps think to themselves, "This kid doesn't seem so bad, he just needs some direction".
But what they said to me was more like this, "Son you get your $%# outta here right now ya hear me? And if I catch you round here again, I'll throw your lil chubby butt where there ain't no sunlight! Get it?
Yes Sir! Thank you, Sir! Have A Good Day Sir!
Thank You!.............gone!
BTW? Thank You, Judge Nelson! (whew)
So this recent award was presented to me by our very own Hitchcock Chamber of Commerce in Galveston County and wouldn't have been possible without you Mom.
It may have taken 46 years (58 in May) but the last 12 years have been filled with the God-given Grace of spiritual maturity that has made me the spiritual warrior that I am today.
God has a plan for everyone, in their own time, for a long as there is time left. God loves a sinner most I think. Cuz they make the best testimonials! Woo Hoo!
You are looking at a person who formally engaged in drug addiction, emotional self-destruction, and self-loathing who was absolutely spiritually lost.
I do not brag or boast about my achievements or toot my own horn. Oh, Wait! TOOT! Damn right.
Ya know how hard it is these days to be positive and productive? Of course, you do. Daily challenges where we all want to throw in the towel at times?
So I want to inspire, empower and encourage everyone to see themselves as God sees his children. That's Us! You and me. And we are far from perfect! But we are, however, Perfectly-Imperfect! Yep Human.
And I am honored, privileged, and so very, very blessed to be a part of the solutions instead of the problems in a global community of multi-millions of recovering addicts of many different kinds of addictions.
And they have unimaginable horror stories from the past and incredible victory stories of today! From hopeless rejects of society to productive members of society.
Never reject what appears to be a loser. Especially without judging ourselves first. Or how about not judging at all? They may be the next testimony of "Saved By Grace".
That's my Mom and Dad! How Friggen Blessed Am I? When so many are suffering right now, feel as if they have no one at all. But we have each other. We are never alone. But it's a choice.
Thank you, to all my friends and family who overlooked, my hypo-mania, and loved and supported me for exactly who I am. As God made me, and you.
