Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”

  Dear Prime Minister Carney, Consider This  … Spend the billions on Canadian defenses not on the States. It is time for us to triple our military and build up our defense capabilities.

  What Trump and his first batch of ‘Executive Orders’ will be will have a domino effect that ripples around the  globe . Many people have the belief that Americans are well liked around the world. This is not true. My older Brother had moved from Canada to Switzerland  with his Swiss born wife. I noticed that he always wore some type of Canadian symbol, a pin or perhaps a t-shirt. I complimented him for his Canadian pride and was astounded by his reply. He told me that because they traveled all over the world it was more of a ‘safety measure’ than anything else. He explained that if not for his public display of the Canadian flag he often would be mistaken as an American. Servers in restaurants and stores would often  be rude and service would be slow. But, wearing a Canadian pin or whatever  the same people would be eager to please and cheerful to deal with. So, no, Americans are not as well liked as they lead you to believe. I have learned through various peo...

  "When one's self esteem is of lower value then one's life is cheated of a better tomorrow. ' (LDV 11-16-24)

  ( Meme credit: ‘Layla Laurent’ ) It took me 60 or so years to meet “ me “. A heavy burden of loneliness, sorrows, guilts and confusion was lifted from my soul that day. I am of the belief that for many a year I had apprehensions of discovering who really existed within this shell labeled “ Dann”.  Subliminally I avoided discovering who others knew me as. I finally had the revelation that necessity calles for me to let ‘ it ‘ happen. ‘ It ‘ being not just societal life, but “ existence ” in all definitions of the word. Most of my life I lived life looking from the outside looking in . I was ‘ Sheeple’.  Following the masses. Trusting the system. Following the revolving path of the naive. Even though I knew not what the system’s goals were to demand of me, I, with head held low, became one of the generic unknowns. I severed the puppeteer’s strings. The puppet was now free to think solitary thoughts. Now, I “ live ” life from the in side looking out. I flipped the scr...

  Our youth could learn more from one episode of “The Rifle Man” or “Bonanza” than they can learn from a hundred episodes of any present day television. Let’s “give peace a chance”.

  What is it going to take before we stop talking and take action? We should cut off all munition sales to Israel.  Netanyahu and his band of baby killers should be arrested and held accountable for their war crimes. There will be no fourth war. Israel is doing it’s best to start a world war. This is a reality. The world MUST put a stop to Israel’s aggression once and for all.  No other country in the world would get away with what Israel is doing!!! Why are we all   so afraid of Israel and letting them be the bully in the schoolyard???

The Oxford dictionary defines   “Mortality”   as, and I quote, (1)   “The state of being subject to death.”   Or (2) “ Death, especially on a large scale”.) I always presumed that it was  “the desire or ability to live forever”.  So naturally you can understand my surprise upon learning that for sixty-seven years I was misinformed. I do know that we all desire to live beyond our wildest dreams. Being able to witness eons of culture and mankind’s existence. The proverbial  “life eternal.” The scientific mind would debate the fallacies of eternal existence. Arguing that to do so would eventually lead to over population and thus the destruction of our species. A fact that cannot be ignored. The religious scholar teach us to believe that we  do  live for eternity. Not as a physical being, though. They lead us to believe that upon death we will transcend to  “Heaven”  or, perhaps,  “Hades” . Regardless, it shall be life eternal....

Federal employees whining because the government wants them to work 3 days a week in house. Imagine that! The nerve of our government to tell them to do their damn jobs. They still get to sit home four days a week. They should have been brought back to working five days a week as soon as the pandemic was considered over. This infuriates me to no end! It’s bad enough that our Parliament is rarely actually sitting and doing their jobs. Look at the following statistics: Over fifty percent of the time they are in recess. Most of the time that they are actually sitting they are arguing over nonsense! No   wonder hardly anything gets accomplished! And now the staff of the Federal Government are complaining about working in their offices 3 days per week? Since before the pandemic and most certainly during the pandemic it has been almost an impossibility to deal with any of the various Government agencies. Before the pandemic they were working in their offices thirty-seven hours per week ....
