When Others Can Describe your Personality


(Networker voice in quotes, Carol Kappes voice in non-quotes; edited )

“Dear Carol
Thank you for inviting me to your blog.   I found it really interesting, instructive and tells a lot about your personality and how you perceive life and those around you.  I am really proud of you and so blessed to know someone like you, knowledgeable and well versed in seminal subjects.
I am so interested in your blog and will always follow what you kindly post.”

And I was a simple girl!  Thank you so much!  Yes, others are able to see my personality.

“You know dear Carol Ralph Waldo Emerson said that:  “Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.” Moreover, simplicity makes beauty.  It is because you are a humble person with great potentials that you are talking about simplicity .On general terms, sophisticated people who have a wide range of knowledge tend to be the most modest of all, while empty barrels, or those with a little knowledge, make the most noise.
 I, therefore, strongly encourage you in your path and wish you all the best of luck.  I am indeed very proud of you and highly praise your human values and principles.”

Thank you for those thoughts.  (I asked him what faith he was; for my understanding. Then I talked a little on my divorce/hardships.)

“I am so sorry to hear that you have been through those hard times and ordeals.  We all experience hard times in our life but we need to be strong enough to come out victorious and with the least wounds possible, so that we can keep up and continue our path in life.
Having said that, I can sense a lot determination and strength in your message that’s why I am proud of you again because of your strong personality and your clinging to life no matter what happens.  After all, life must go on regardless.  I do really love your personality that can be a source of inspiration and hope.”

Thanks…yes…feedback helps me get better at what I do for sure.  I am an emotional/expressive writer that wants to get to the heart n soul of people. And that is also how I chat/interview with others.  Many times I get more ideas from doing that.

“It is so true when you said that feedback from people helps you get better and at the same time feedback gives you some insightful ideas that reshape your thinking and enable you to share with your readers your diverse experiences and stories in life and about life.”

Yes…likewise I see all these diverse cultures in my dental office…so I see people of all colors the same.  They have all the basic needs to live.  To keep healthy n live.

“Yes, so true!!! No matter what our skin color, our background or religion are, we are all human beings, belonging to the same race, with one God, the Creator and Almighty above everyone, anything and everything on earth. 
You are lucky enough to meet people from different cultures and backgrounds, who all have the same hopes, same objectives, same likings, and most importantly, they do share the same human universal values.
I wish you the best of luck in your brilliant and inspiring career.”

I’ll have to use your last sentence here when I market my goal of a book when I get that finalized!

“I will be the first one to have the honor and privilege of buying your book.  When is it gonna come out??”

Working on manuscript thus now…then look for a publisher.
And how old are you?  I am around (5 yr range) yrs old.  But I look 10 yrs younger then my actual age.  (I ask their age so I am informed of the generation they are in)

“Indeed, you look much younger than that range of age dear Carol.  The most important thing is that I see in your pictures, a very young lady, full of spring, full of energy, full of dynamism and most importantly, full of hope, optimism and much much more joy and happiness.
A young and talented lady (indeed so gifted), with a very young spirit and a lovely and a lively mode of living, that can be so inspiring to those who are young in age, but old in spirit…those who have lost hope in life…those who have been repressed and frustrated in life, because of so many ordeals and bad luck.
I can see in you a young woman who is proud of herself, who has a high self esteem and self confidence and a woman who is smart enough to be a role model for others.  In short, you are a young spirited woman, so Kind-hearted and with high potentials and a wide range of knowledge in life.”

First of all I want to tell you that you described me well…and known me in one day…wow.

“I am so delighted that I was successful in describing to some extent your true being, personality and your physical appearance.”

The Best Gift We Receive

First, we receive and accept it
It is wrapped beautiful and tight
We begin to wonder about it.

Slowly we begin to peer in and look
Then we begin to see and understand
We feel happiness and excitement.

We acknowledge and thank the Giver
For the most wonderful gift of love
One where memories still remain.

People Have Fled Syria


I know how you feel-

You feared for your own lives
You face suffering and pain
You are abandoned and scared
You are hungry, thirsty and cold
You are discouraged and sad
You feel neglected and unloved
You are desperate and cry
You are worried and helpless
You are sick and weakened

God didn’t want this; the
Fault of people did this.

An Evergreen Marriage


Maybe we should think of marriage
Like the evergreen tree.

Decorate it each year with faith,
Hope, peace, love, and trust.

Be creative and keep it fresh, give
It water, and it should take root and
Continue to grow through the years.

It will weather the storm a few times
During the year; but with nurture,
It will gain continued strength.

Does the Sun Set in the West and Rise in the East?


Jesus Christ is the light of the world,
And He was born in the eastern world;
A savior to all of mankind.  God had
Chosen this certain place; in the east.

We were to follow this certain star into
The evening sky; because the sun reads
Only time, not the land location. The star
Had shown brightness that evening night.

Jesus brings us PEACE in the darkest days
And nights.  A comfort within our souls; we
Are in the likeness of Him.  And His teachings
Live on throughout the west and the east.

Remember that the light of the sun rises in the
Eastern horizon, reaches high above at noon;
And by evening it sets in the western horizon.
We all must share in the light of Jesus Christ.

(My Christmas greetings to the world; 2013)

Interview of Islam and Christian Faith



(Social Networker voice in quotes; Carol Kappes voice in non-quotes; as written in faith discussion, unedited) 

POST INTERVIEW

Well, I did sleep; but got up way too late than I wanted to.  Wed is my day off. You definitely will go down in history of 5 hours of “interview” time that I ever had.  This gave me a glimpse also of how you think of Jesus; which I believe may be the factor of  "problems” in this world that people do not believe in Him; but I am not a scholar and no one ever was able to come to the conclusion why people “act out” in this part of the world.

This is what I am trying to figure out in a sort of way; I would love for it to end in some treaty so people’s lives are not in CHAOS.  The world was never made for that.

But we all know life is unjust and always was…

“I just want you to check where the truth doesn’t mater is how many years you Learn it or you
practice all of us we just looking for truth.
People before Jesus when Jesus came to them and he ask then to follow his way and he tell them
this the troth from Gad
What they answer to him?   They said to him we have so many years learn & follow & practice
our own way and our father and grandfather way and you want us to change it and follow
you??!!
I mean here that’s if you was learn and follow and practice something this doesn’t mean is it the truth.”

I have learned, followed and practice in what I know the possible way; and it is to understand
the truth.  I do believe that I have a great understanding; but I will never know the reality of it
all.  How could I?  You are right, it may be impossible for anyone to exactly know all
circumstances to the Word of God.  Even his own apostles sometimes questioned and wondered.

One of them betrayed Jesus and Jesus also knew ahead of time which one that was going to be.
Jesus was a visionary or he heard from God his Father?  Sometimes you have to believe, even
though you  can’t see him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE INTERVIEW

Man has destroyed humans by killings, abortions, etc than God does by natural disasters.

“What about the people befor Jesus came?”

The people before Jesus were just the same probably; some believe and others didn’t        
All of man would have changed the religions from the very first religion
And I don’t know what that first religion really is

I think humans destroy more people than disasters do
Do I make sense to you?

“ok, if God have son and he send his son to do goal in earth with the people the Q is why a God powerful why not save his son?”

God and Jesus could have saved himself, but, the reason that He didn’t was that he had to fulfill the scriptures from the old testament.  I guess in the old testament it was forthcoming.  But which ones I would not know.

“And save his goal if not retch this goal, why god send him as son?”

??Not sure what you are asking here?  It was the people that were unbelievers to Jesus.  Remember the Ceasar crowd and some did not want Jesus hung on the cross?  About half of the people or more believed he was the King of the Jews.  After he died, more thought he really was and Jesus death on the cross represent our crosses to bare.  We don’t have life easy, I feel my life was a lot like Jesus, really I do.

“The reson to have a son what?  To save pepole from sins right?  Did Jesus do it did he continued so the people kill him and his father watch that when he powerfull and the aim will not be done so what the resone to send son for something not done?  The people are controlling God and son of god.”

That was an interesting statement you wrote.  But I come up with the fact that people remained disobedient, disbelief; just as when the world was made.

“the God is one and Jesus is normal prophet with mircal and god is powerful he do whatever he want and we all believing thats.”

Wow

“in Islam when the people going to kill him God pull him in the sky”

Kill who in Islam?  Oh Jesus?

“Yes”

Interesting.  I know many people do not live in faith.  Why did you want to know my thinking on this?  It was scholarly work on my part.

“What the logic here why God not save his son in Islam God save Jesus and take him to sky?”

I think one reason is that Jesus might have had to go to hell.  In which he did descent then He went up to heaven

“You know the person was killed in the crose?”

There were 3 that day, 2 prisoners with Jesus.  And Jesus told the prisoner, you will be with me in paradise.  So we will see and hear the judgement.  Anyway, this is a lot of thinking on my part.  You really had everything checked out with me.  Very interesting.  Did I make this sensible to you?  This is all my belief.  We touched on many subjects in one short day?

“Yes, but just last the person who was killed in crose is the one who bring food to Jesus he informed the people which they need about his place so God take Jesus make the face.”

Wow

“Make the face of the man same face of Jesus so the people take this man as Jesus and kill him.”

I don’t think that would have been done

“why God can’t do thats?”

Because of  Jesus’s apostles, another reason he needed witnesses.  Did they prepare his body for burial?  And then rolled the stone and they kept an eye on his grave

“Yes”


Till they seen that he rise as he told his apostles he would and they did see him when he descended from hell to go to heaven

“Jesus never go to hell.”

He had to.  I think he did because we are born of his likeness.

“What he done wrong to be in hell?”

He is like us.  He had to experience it.  Maybe to tell us there is a heaven and hell.

“How his son of God and how he will be in hell?”

I’m not sure that part in Bible or if that is from the catholic teachings.  I would have to look this up.  It could be catholic.

“See, Jesus in Islam is a Holy and Mary she is a Holy and God make a miracal to us to see us do we believe him or not.”

I believe  what all  I told you and it comes from my knowledge. But I had read the new testament in high school age. And went to church when I grew up.

“Can I see you now?”  (use of webcam)

“I can see you are Religion women”

Well I would describe myself as spiritual

“The knowledge you have.”

I am not holy but I do believe that Jesus planned and is running my life.  He gives me these thoughts ahead, I am visionary.  I make choices from those thoughts.  I write from my mind, the earthly experience and the spiritual world.  I can no longer develop myself; I am now developing others

“Yes, all what you said now is right.  But all that’s for the God not son”

Have you heard of Maslow’s theory? I have accomplished what I needed in myself but I am transcending to help Gen X and Y through social networking and the internet.  God as his son is in heaven and left his spirit to me.

“Can I see you please”  (use of webcam)

But I seem to think of Jesus more in my life due to the fact he was human like I am.  I live for God; I see the world in God’s eyes.  I see how he created it and how he wanted it to be.

(Then on came the webcam)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IN CONCLUSION

You have just read a personal chat and webcam conversation between the two of us.  We first became acquainted, talked about our families, our careers, life, and then it ended with our faith; which seemed to come in suddenly. Each person that I am gifted to VOICE is very special to my heart and theirs.  They are told that their VOICE is on my blog.  I thank each and everyone of them.

We all in this world share the same God.  It was man that divided Religion through these years.  But it really comes down to the individual human being to understand through knowledge of who they are and their purpose here on earth.  We are all born individual and we all die individual.

My mission is to have a much more peaceful World; one that we can understand cultures clearly.  We have been importing and exporting for years and so we must understand the work of people. Diversity is ever changing as people are moving around national and international; probably more then ever in these future generations.
