Talk about the first three steps at the beginners Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Positive affirmation that the program works. I does work for me. I love GOD.
About whatever I want to talk about. I would like to see that Motiva expansion happen. The expansion would be good for all of us.

What impressed me about the United States Marine Corps

I joined the United States Marine Corps back in January 02,1989 Active Duty. The overall Leadership training from a four star General to the private just out of basic training. While the other armed services the Navy is an exception were bickering over who has the authority to fly planes, move supplies, the Marine Corps practiced team work in every area from intelligence, administration, supply and logistics. While every other service was bothering calling us names little did they know that we are the chosen to guard heavens gates. We are trained never to retreat and not to leave a man behind. Not to give our lives for our country but to make the enemy give their lives for theirs. Every Marine not matter what his occupational specialty is a rifleman first. I watched infantry officers become Harrier pilots. This has never happened in the United States Army. As a matter a fact the first Navy Seal learned his infantry skills from the Marine Corps. Lee Harvey Oswalt was a United States Marine talk about accuracy. No offense to the President but that was one heck of a shot. The discipline to be able to rapidly train my body, mind and soul came from the United States Marine Corps. I worked twice as hard physically, and mentally during my time in the Marine Corps and today I am still healthy. Another thing about the Marine Corps is once a Marine always a Marine and their motto Semper Fidelis which is latin for Always Faithful. I can call a true Marine for help today, and that Marine will be there for and his brothers and sisters. God bless the United States and the United States Marine Corps. Always Faithful God, Country, and United States Marine Corps,
The bond that Marines share most of all working as a team to achieve professional and personal goals. In our hearts, mind and soul we are the best because of discipline and esprit de corps (all of the same spirit). C. A. Levingston 22:30, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Espirit de Corps

Espirit de Corps translation Spirit of the Corps. This is all being of the same spirit which is a combination of different positive feelings putting it together with pride in yourself and your fellow Marines, we take that pride and place it in teamwork, the work that you do by working with others. The work that you do as a team, where we are only as strong as our weakest link. Thus forcing each one of us to better ourselves everyday in some way shape our form. Using traits such as Leadership, Integrity, discipline, good judgment. Esprit de Corps effects the mind, body and spirit. This is something that has to be earned through our works. Good work will get you positive results. The spirit of the Marine Corps is to never give up never surrender we believe in the oath that we took to defend this country and its constitution C. A. Levingston 22:39, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Marines display virtues that are taught to them through discipline and training, they are noble, kind, and giving and when it comes time for battle they are like the great lions of Africa. They work as a team to capture their prey. They always display selfless devotion to duty and are not afraid to ask questions, because they are taught from the first day of boot camp. That no Marines question is a dumb question. It may become a question that could save someones life or a country. Discipline, and conditioning of mind, body and spirit is the back bone of the Marine Corps without our teachings this country would not be the Great United States of America that we live in today. C. A. Levingston 22:39, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Basic Traits of a Leader

Judgment, Justice, Discipline, Integrity, Decisiveness, Tact, Initiative, Endurance, Bearing, Uniformity, Courage, Knowledge, Loyalty, Enthusiasm. I've always used these traits in everything I do. I will let God as I understand him be the judge in my life. It is my opinion that there is no human that can say they are god however god does speak through the pure of heart. Those who do not have self seeking or dishonest motives. I was trained as a Marine and hope and have faith that I never lose the discipline again. --C A Levingston 17:38, 25 February 2009 (UTC) A Leader is only as good as the weakest person he leads.--C A Levingston 05:48, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Study of Different Beliefs

Right now I am looking at what the Ch'i and Taoism is all about. --C A Levingston 22:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
I have discovered that buy putting God, his word which is the bible and the holy spirit first in my life I can succeed in everything I do and that I also have balance in my life today and love for others. God has done more for me spiritually in this past year then I have ever had in a lifetime.--C A Levingston 10:53, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Studyied TAOSIM

I think god everyday that I am a christian. I grew up knowing Jesus Christ as my personal savior and believe that one day he will be he to save my soul and all of the people who believe in Gods word and love like it says in the bible to love.
--C A Levingston 10:21, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Went to church this morning and I thought it was excellent. It talks about in the bible when we work together. Miracles can happen. If you love, hope, and faith in anything you do you may not get the results you expected at first but in the end the results will be wonderful. --C A Levingston 17:19, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Every morning I wake up and thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit and the ability to love another human being.--C A Levingston 12:32, 9 March 2009 (UTC) The Chinese belief of Taoism is a peaceful philosophy that says that a man can ascend to become immortal. Traditional Chinese beliefs and writings are more complicated then modern Chinese. This philosophy also talks about being flexible in your beliefs, and also includes the idea of harmony between mind, body and spirit.--C A Levingston 08:01, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

The body of the Church

I Corinthians 12:27 Now here is what I am trying to say: All of you together are the one body of Christ and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it. Here is a list of some of the parts he has placed in his church, which is his body:

Apostles Prophets Those who preach God's word Teachers Those who do miracles Those who have the gift of healing Those who can help others Those who can get others to work together Those who speak in languages they never learned.

Teamwork is the basic building block that helps us find strength through Jesus Christ. Coming in our Sunday best together and worshiping Jesus through song prayer and listening to the message your pastor has for you gives us strength through christ. I make every effort to make it to church participate in small groups. This is what works for me.
--C A Levingston 23:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
When we all gather together as a church family to worship Jesus Christ. Through song, prayer, dancing, and learning God's word the Holy Spirit is among us. --C A Levingston 04:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Art and Living Life From the Bible the Book of Psalms

Psalms Chap. 45 Vers 2 - You are the fairest of all, your words are filled with grace; God himself is blessing you forever.

               Vers 3 - Arm yourself Mighty one, so glorious so majestic.
               Vers 4 - and in your majesty go onto victory, Defending truth, humility, and justice.

Psalms Chap. 46 Vers 1 - God is our refuge and Strength, a tested help in time of troubles. Vers 2 - And so we need not fear even if the world blows up, and the mountains crumble into the sea. Vers 4 thru 6 There is a river of joy flowing through the City of our God the sacred home of the God above all gods. God himself is living in that City; therefore it stands unmoved despite the turmoil everywhere. He will not delay his help. The nations rant and rave in anger but when God speaks, the earth melts in submission and kingdoms totter into ruin. Vers 11 The commander of the heavenly armies is here among us! He the god of Jacob, has come to rescue us.--C A Levingston 05:25, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Love

2 Corinthians Chap 16 May the Grace of our lord Jesus Christ be with you all. May God's love and the Holy Spirit's friendship be yours. Keep your eyes open for Spiritual Dangers; and whatever you do it with kindness and love. I did modify this to fit spiritual needs. --C A Levingston 05:36, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

1 Corinthians Chap 8 Verse 3 The person who truly loves God is the one who is open to God's knowledge. --C A Levingston 13:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC) 1 Corintians Chapter 13 Verse There are three thing that remain if it be thy will Faith, Hope, Love if it be thy will the greatest of these is Love. --C A Levingston 08:32, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
When a man and a woman love each other they shall be married with the blessing of God. Two have abundant life and to create a family of their own they shall leave their parents house and move into their own house.--C A Levingston 04:57, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Psalms 34:14-15 Turn away from evil and do good. Work hard at living in peace with others. The eyes of the LORD God watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their crys for help.--C A Levingston 07:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Holy Spirit

Take the word Holy which is divine and spirit which is of the same mind.

Matthew Chapter 3 Verse 11 I indeed baptize you water upon repentence but he that cometh after me is mighter than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost --C A Levingston 06:07, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
I first received the Holy Spirit at the age of 11 years old. It was my faith in Jesus that kept me from falling into the pit of hell. Without God's gift of the Holy Spirit, there were alot of trials in life I would not have survived. Thank you Jesus for letting me see another day.--C A Levingston 13:24, 26 March 2009 (UTC) The holy spirit is known as the spirit of truth because God does not lie to us. Being apart of a church filled with the Holy Spirit is a wonderful thing to be able to worship together and to look at your brother and sister and tell them you love them. Today I put God above everything else and I feel like a better man.--C A Levingston 05:56, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
If it was not for my father taking me to church when I was young I would have never learned God's word concerning the Holy Spirit. That if it had not been for the fact that I studyied the bible as a child along with the songs that we sing. I would have never known about God's love, the armor that it provides, and the spirit of truth.--C A Levingston 09:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Romans 8:26-27 The Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we do not even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. The holy spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the father who knows all hearts knows what the spirit is saying, for the spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will.--C A Levingston 03:33, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Matthew 5:9 God blesses those who work for peace for they will be called the children of God.
Joshua 1:9 I command you if it be thy will be strong and courageous! do not be afraid or discouraged. For the lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Isaiah 41:10 Don't be afraid for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. --C A Levingston 16:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
2 Peter 1:6 - 9 Knowing God leads to self-control. Self Control leads to patient endurance, and patient endurance leads to godliness. Godliness leads to love for others, and finally you will grow to have genuine love for all mankind. The more you grow like this, the more you grow like this, the more you will become more productive and useful in knowledge of our lord Jesus. Those who fail to develop these virtues are blind. They had already forgotten that God had cleansed them from their old life of sin.--C A Levingston 03:29, 5 May 2009 (UTC) My personal experience with the Holy Spirit is I received it at the age of 11 years old. The Holy Spirit has guided me, comforted me, and has never let me down. This gift that God has given me has kept me alive through hard times, and has kept love for life in my heart even through my most trying times. It is the greatest of all gifts to know that you are one of God's chosen people. To also know what faith, hope, and love feels like even when it seems to be completely hopeless. These are feelings that I have felt over the last few months. My faith in God has kept me strong above anything else. This faith that my father taught me as a child, to just have faith in God and he will provide for all my needs. I have found my faith kept me strong, helped me to make new friends and I learned there truly is a God. --C A Levingston 09:39, 7 June 2009 (UTC) The Holy Spirit guides me through my day, it keeps me from temptaion, it teaches me love, faith, and patience, and acceptance. Using the tools of the holy spirit I am truly a better man today. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice.--C A Levingston 06:19, 4 October 2009 (UTC) God gives us the Holy Spirit when we believe in Jesus Christ and that he died on the cross for our sins, and then rose again in three days. Giveth Life: John Chapter 6 Verse 63 - It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you they are spirity and they are life. 1 Peter Chapter 3 Verse 18. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the spirit. 1 John Chapter 4 Verse 6. How be it when he, the spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.--C A Levingston 08:09, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Empowers for Service

Acts Chapter 1 Verse 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me upon Jerusalem, until ye be endowed with power from upon high--C A Levingston 06:07, 21 March 2009 (UTC) Today I felt the Holy Spirit stronger than ever. I had to travel to bring my son home and the whole time I finally felt fully at peace with myself and God. The Holy Spirit is a wonderful gift that God has given us through his son Jesus Christ.--C A Levingston 07:12, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Verse 2 - He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of God's favor to them has come, and the day of his wrath to their enemies. --C A Levingston 13:06, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
Acts 2:16-18 What you see this morning was predicted centuries ago by the prophet Joel: "In the last days God said I will pour out my spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my spirit upon all my servants, men and women alike and they will prophesy.--C A Levingston 19:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Luke 12:11-12 When you are brought to trial in the synagogues and before rulers and authorities, don't worry about what to say in your defense, for the Holy Spirit will teach you what needs to be said even as you are standing there.--C A Levingston 19:05, 20 April 2009 (UTC) John Chapter 7:20-23 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they may also be one in us: that the world may believe that thou has sent me and the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou has sent me and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

The Armor of God

Ephesians Chapter 6 Verse 10 thru 13 Last of all I want to remind you that your strength must come from the Lord's mighty power within you. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand safe against all strategies and tricks of Satan. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies if it be thy will the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world. So use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still be standing up. --C A Levingston 06:34, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
When I say my prayers in the morning this is my armor to carry me throughout the day when I say my prayers before I retire at night this is my armor while I sleep. The greatest armor of all is love for only love can withstand trials and tribulations. I learned this while I was incarcerated it was love that kept me alive because I only revived to find my true love and I do this through God's love this is what protects me. Thank god for the knowledge that he gave us to show us how to live. --C A Levingston 13:01, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Addiction

Galatians 5:22-23 When the holy spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law.
1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and in his good time he will honor you. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you.
Admit your need to God in prayer, release all your anxieties to him, and rely fully on the promise of God's help.--C A Levingston 04:00, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

United States Constitution

Growing up on the streets all everybody wanted was respect. Respect is what gives a man his dignity and self-worth. What about the nations highest law of respect the U. S. Constitution. My constitutional rights were violated in the State of Texas. When I was in Edinburg, Tx I was forbidden to practice my religion. I was put in a state jail and I was only there for a Child Support hearing. Orange, Tx violated my rights by enhancing a Misdeameanor into a felony and then confusing me saying it was only a misdeameanor. Abusing the court and prison system for financial gain. --C A Levingston 04:36, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Magic Mountain

When I was in the Marine Corps me and a friend took a ride to Magic Mountain in California. At the age of 19 this was the first time I ever got on a roller coaster. While we were there he was told to break the new to me that I really wasn't any older than the kids that were at the dance when the sun went down. Most of the kids that were there were the children of the stars. Places like Magic Mountain and Disney World help me keep my serenity. These are the memories I hold unto during hard times that keep me going to adversity.Christopher Alan Levingston 15:54, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

THE MOLESTATION CASE OF SIR GEORGE ALLEN REEVE

Today the term molestation refers mostly to sexual abuse of a child. The term molestation is also used when an adult is forced to do something that they do not want to do. Depending on who is molested the stiffer the penalty is for the offender. Case and point if the Govenor is forced to do something that he doesn't want to do the penalty can be a life sentence which by today's federal standards is ninety nine years. Another case is United States of America v/s Sir George Allen Reeve. This case states that Sir Reeve's fate could only be decided by his wife who has to be the natural mother of his children, or his natural birth mother. Due to the era that the case was written in the penalty is spiritual death. Further penalties that if any harm was even planned for Sir Reeve it did not matter if it was physical or mental, it was a life sentence. In the case of his children the sentence is death. The charge that is associated with this is molestation of a noble. No changes could be made to this order without his physical presence before the United States Supreme Court and The high court of Great Britain. This case was decided by The President Pro Tem Gerald R. Ford, Prince Philip Wade Reeve, Chief Justice Janet Reno, defending counsel for the defendant was Linda Gayle Reeve. Respectfully submitted,
