Acting my age all depends on what kind of mood I am in

Acting my age all depends on what kind of mood I am in, where I am at, what's going on around me, and who I am with at the moment.
Some call me CrAzY.

Haters gonna hate, ya know?
Better you, than me.
But, I love ya anyway, because God says so.
Took me a while to figure that one out.

How can I love somebody who hates me?
Love thy enemy?
Pray for thy enemy?
Why?
Lord, you're sure asking an awful lot of me.
I had to change everything about who I was, and how think, in order to understand forgiveness.

And forgiveness is not always for my enemy to find peace, but perhaps, more so, about me acquiring peace in my own heart.
You see if I hate my enemy back, as they do me', am I any different than they are?

They are angry, and now I am angry.
Nope, not me.
I have paid my dues in that hell hole for far, far too long.
Yes, Sir, I am crazy!

lol.
I am so crazy, that am not afraid of most things that I should be afraid of.
Anger is a product of fear.
So you're just going to have to find someone else to bully.
I cannot be certain that there is even going to be another tomorrow.

So I have no energy left, to spend on wasteful, useless, and time-consuming, emotional, negativity.
And that means, that I am loving each day more, as I get older and wiser.

And it also means that I am having more freedom and fun now than ever before, in my life.
My heart and mind grow younger and closer to God.
And that's why I can love you.
like he does.
God doesn't just help those who help themselves.
He helps everyone.
Anyone.
And he loves all those who don't love him back.

Maybe he loves them even more.
That's what true love is.
Unconditional.
Without offering love, there can be no opportunity for those who would hate, to find it.
If I have been forgiven, then I must forgive.

If I was given love then I must give it away, so that I may keep it.
So, no matter what feels like, or look like, at any given time, I'm always living in love.
But don't push my buttons.

    Howdy there. My Name is Clay Burton. I was born in Galveston County, Tx in 1963 and have lived in Hitchcock Tx. for at least 40 years now. but only the past year or so I have become a very active volunteer in local community services here in Hitchcock.

    I am a new member of The Hitchcock Chamber of Commerce, and founder/administrator of the very diverse and growing Facebook forum "The Future Of Hitchcock" (Times The Are a-Changin) group.  

    I am also a Texas Peer Recover Coach class graduate volunteer working with clients and peers in HIV education/prevention, mental/emotional challenges, and substance use addiction. A program designed based on positive and spiritual solutions for living life on life terms successfully with one recovered persons experience working with the newly recovering. 

    I attend City Council meetings regularly and regard myself as a local and informative social media source as well as an inspirational cheerleader! I am always interacting with citizens and neighbors daily for keeping up with Hitchcock's current events.

    I invite you to read our Facebook group description. It sums up our vision as we move forward into the future with the ongoing and incoming 2020-2040 city plans and comprehensive changes. Our town is more diverse than ever largely due to our HPD Police Chief "Willmon (Smitty) Smith" in coordination with our cities Municipal leader's economic management.  

    Our population is vastly growing all around us and that means prosperity as well as new challenges. I have taken it upon myself the self-appointed role and desire to renew the minds, beliefs, and trust of our residents by witnessing real and sustainable progress.

    God gave me an incredible new life today that I never would ever have imagined before. With only one directive. "In order to keep the wonderful happiness that I have been given, I must pay it forward to the next person in need! Aside from my Free Will, it's not a choice for me, and its so much fun giving back Woo Hoo! 

    Hitchcock, (understandably) has had somewhat of a stigma attached to our town from the past and from the old ways of doing business. But I ask our residents to look around and see the ground floor opportunities to make Hitchcock a shining example in Galveston County.

    Never before in our history has the timing been so right. Positivity is in demand and sells itself. If I can assist you in any way to highlight the good news of our city as a private citizen and volunteer, then please by all means, feel free to contact me.
