Faith In Family was the movie I chose to rewatch tonight before writing this post to begin to release the beginning of the project of projects and the overwhelming creative assets and resources that came out of it that I can only hope allows me to convey in the most simplest of ways from the movie Dogma which I will cover in a later post:
Faith in the Family is a story about a woman who has suffered the devastating loss of her husband and, in the process the loss of her Christian faith. And how her family help her rediscover her faith and see a way forward through the darkness and into the light.
2024 | Stars: Fredericka Charles, Duane Tucker, Jasmine CL | Director: Oleksiy Andronyak

Faith in family means building deep trust, support, and shared values, often centered around spiritual beliefs (like prayer, forgiveness, love) or simply unwavering commitment, creating a secure environment where members feel heard, understood, and strong enough to navigate life's challenges together, acting as a foundation for personal growth and resilience. It involves active participation, open communication, and cultivating a culture of authenticity and encouragement, making the family unit a primary source of strength and hope.
Key Aspects of Faith in Family
Spiritual Foundations: Prayer, scripture study, religious traditions, and trusting in a higher power (God) to guide the family.
Trust & Authenticity: Being real, vulnerable, and honest with each other, fostering an environment where it's safe to ask tough questions and work through problems.
Unconditional Support: Showing love, compassion, and forgiveness, and never giving up on family members, even during difficulties.
Open Communication: Listening as much as speaking, asking engaging questions, and ensuring everyone feels heard and understood.
Shared Activities: Engaging in family traditions, holidays, and regular activities that reinforce bonds and values.
Resilience: Drawing strength from the family unit and spiritual beliefs to press forward through adversity, as highlighted in stories like Faith in the Family.
Building Faith in Your Family
Pray Together: Make family prayer a regular practice, focusing on needs and gratitude, according to this article from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and this article from First United Bank.
Cultivate Authenticity: Parents can model this by being open about their own struggles and questions, says Minno Kids.
Listen Actively: Make listening a priority over lecturing, suggest NewSpring.cc.
Celebrate Faith: Integrate faith into holidays and daily life, suggests Tricia Goyer.
Find Supportive Media: Use resources like UP Faith & Family for uplifting content, notes the UP Faith & Family website.
The significance in many different ways and comparisons throughout the Bible provide significant opportunities to start to understand key elements of the existence of God , A Higher Power or The Universe as at least a place to build from, consider the woman by the well as I've laid out below:
What is the overall meaning of of this story?
The story of the nameless Samaritan woman at the well, recorded only in the Gospel of John, is a revealing one, full of many truths and powerful lessons for us today. The story of the woman at the well follows on the heels of the account of Jesus’ interaction with Nicodemus, a Pharisee and prominent member of the Jewish Sanhedrin (John 3:1–21). In John 4:4–42 we read about Jesus’ conversation with a lone Samaritan woman who had come to get water from a well (known as Jacob’s well) located about a half mile from the city of Sychar in Samaria.
This was an extraordinary woman. She was a Samaritan, a race of people that the Jews utterly despised as having no claim on their God, and she was an outcast and looked down upon by her own people. This is evidenced by the fact that she came alone to draw water from the community well when, during biblical times, drawing water and chatting at the well was the social highpoint of a woman’s day. However, this woman was ostracized and marked as immoral, an unmarried woman living openly with the sixth in a series of men.
The story of the woman at the well teaches us that God loves us in spite of our bankrupt lives. God values us enough to actively seek us, to welcome us to intimacy, and to rejoice in our worship. As a result of Jesus’ conversation, only a person like the Samaritan woman, an outcast from her own people, could understand what this means. To be wanted, to be cared for when no one, not even herself, could see anything of value in her—this is grace indeed.
But there are many other valuable truths we glean from this story. We learn that:
1) Only through Jesus can we obtain and receive eternal life: “Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life’” (John 4:13–14; cf. John 14:6).
2) Jesus’ ministering to those outcasts of the Jewish society (the Samaritans) reveals that all people are valuable to God and that Jesus desires that we demonstrate love to everyone . . . including even our enemies (John 4:7–9; Matthew 5:44).
3) Jesus is the Messiah (John 4:25–26; 1:41; Matthew 27:22; Luke 2:11).
4) Those who worship God, worship Him in spirit and truth (John 4:23–24; Psalm 145:18).
5) Our testimony about Jesus is a powerful tool in leading others to believe in Him: “Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, ‘He told me everything I ever did.’ So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. And because of his words many more became believers. They said to the woman, ‘We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world”’ (John 4:39–42).
Additionally, we learn from Jesus’ dialogue with the woman at the well three absolute truths about salvation:
1) Salvation comes only to those who recognize their desperate need for the spiritual life they do not have. Living water can be obtained only by those who recognize that they are spiritually thirsty.
2) Salvation comes only to those who confess and repent of their sin and desire forgiveness. Before this immoral woman could embrace the Savior, she had to concede the full burden of her sins.
3) Salvation comes only to those who take hold of Jesus as their Messiah. For the absolute truth is that salvation is found in no one else (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).
So let me move onto another aspect of The Bible and how accurate it is. Many of those who say they believe spend so much time focusing on The Story Of Stories, meaning you have a book of stories trying to reflect and describe a series of people, the stories observed & conveyed but what if you just missed the overall purpose of what I refer as the very first example of a mastermind model and the subsequent best practices at the basic level of lessons lived in life to create a base that would provide for the core values one could live by. You will find many metaphors and acronyms that just seem to fit in my belief and experience living what I can only describe sometimes as one that was baffling as to how much I accomplished and how effective I used my time, but let's go back to The Bible.
The Bible[b] is a collection of religious texts that are central to Christianity and Judaism, and esteemed in other Abrahamic religions such as Islam. The Bible is an anthology (a compilation of texts of a variety of forms) originally written in Hebrew (with some parts in Aramaic) and Koine Greek. The texts include instructions, stories, poetry, prophecies, and other genres. The collection of materials accepted as part of the Bible by a particular religious tradition or community is called a biblical canon. Believers generally consider it to be a product of divine inspiration, but the way they understand what that means and how they interpret the text varies.
The religious texts, or scriptures, were compiled by different religious communities into various official collections. The earliest contained the first five books of the Bible, called the Torah ('Teaching') in Hebrew and the Pentateuch (meaning 'five books') in Greek. The second-oldest part was a collection of narrative histories and prophecies (the Nevi'im). The third collection, the Ketuvim, contains psalms, proverbs, and narrative histories. Tanakh (Hebrew: תָּנָ״ךְ, romanized: Tanaḵ) is an alternate term for the Hebrew Bible. The Masoretic Text is the medieval version of the Tanakh—written in Hebrew and Aramaic—that is considered the authoritative text of the Hebrew Bible by modern Rabbinic Judaism. The Septuagint is a Koine Greek translation of the Tanakh from the third and second centuries BCE; it largely overlaps with the Hebrew Bible.
Christianity began as an outgrowth of Second Temple Judaism, using the Septuagint as the basis of the Old Testament. The early Church continued the Jewish tradition of writing and incorporating what it saw as inspired, authoritative religious books. The gospels, which are narratives about the life and teachings of Jesus, along with the Pauline epistles, and other texts quickly coalesced into the New Testament. The oldest parts of the Bible may be as early as c. 1200 BCE, while the New Testament had mostly formed by 4th century CE.
With estimated total sales of over five billion copies, the Christian Bible is the best-selling publication of all time. The Bible has had a profound influence both on Western culture and history and on cultures around the globe. The study of it through biblical criticism has also indirectly impacted culture and history. Some view biblical texts as morally problematic, historically inaccurate, or corrupted by time; others find it a useful historical source for certain peoples and events or a source of ethical teachings. The Bible is currently translated or in the process of being translated into about half of the world's languages.
The term Bible can refer to the Hebrew Bible, which corresponds to the Christian Old Testament, or the Christian Bible, which in addition to the Old Testament contains the New Testament.[1]
The English word Bible is derived from Koine Greek: τὰ βιβλία, romanized: ta biblia, meaning 'the books' (singular βιβλίον, biblion).[2] The word βιβλίον itself literally means 'scroll' and came to be used as the ordinary word for book.[3] It is the diminutive of βύβλος byblos, 'Egyptian papyrus', possibly so called from the name of the Phoenician seaport Byblos (also known as Gebal) from when Egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece.[4]
The Greek ta biblia was "an expression Hellenistic Jews used to describe their sacred books".[5] The biblical scholar F. F. Bruce notes that John Chrysostom appears to be the first writer (in his Homilies on Matthew, delivered between 386 and 388 CE) to use the Greek phrase ta biblia ('the books') to describe both the Old and New Testaments together.[6]
The Latin biblia sacra ('holy books') is a translation of the Greek τὰ βιβλία τὰ ἅγια (tà biblía tà hágia), which also means 'the holy books'.[7] Medieval Latin biblia is short for biblia sacra 'holy book'. It gradually came to be regarded as a feminine singular noun (biblia, gen. bibliae) in medieval Latin, and so the word was loaned as singular into the vernaculars of Western Europe.[8]
Now consider as I stated before about a story of stories but what is the only part of The Bible contributed or conveyed by God himself? The Ten Commandments, the word command is right there. Let's reflect on that for a few.
If you have been a parent, a husband and raised children through the journey that you had no playbook for but the outcome was the best you could ask for, the commandments are somewhat equal to "My House, My Rules" although I allowed more freedom in my household to make sure there was never a fear of losing my support, love or anything should my children ever make what they considered a mistake or if somehow colored outside the lines as a manner of speaking. I always referred to The Bible as Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. I often found myself conveying this message to my children as well as so many God put in my path:
"You have the gift of exploring and experiencing as much as possible in the years growing into who you feel is the best you. Don't be basic, be unique, be the one who stands out and be original, don't copy others just because everyone else is. Also if your going to experiment, do it here at home so I know your ok. Please never judge or bully others and I want to know I don't care if your into other races or even if you experiment or end up deciding your gay, I love you no matter what and please don't judge others"
Now I reflection I can see what I did right and really never had to remind them of what I said above, my actions and my words were what they saw in the way I lived. And I cannot say that was how I was raised, quiet the opposite.
I think I will end this post with these parenting resources, I hope you find them useful. ;)
God Bless & Boy Do We Have To Fix This Mess.
I have been doing outreach in so many different homeless camps since becoming homeless since April 2023 due to false domestic abuse claims costing me everything and trauma after trauma and if not for my faith, I have no idea well I still have no idea how I have done what I have with no outside help, providing for so many and serving every role needed because that is what a father does and although my loss was more than can be imagined, my love for those who betrayed me never strayed from me, it's embedded in my core and while I hope you will join me shortly to Be The Change In The World Around Me, any help is appreciated as I have more to help restore, their faith that is and to bring light The Concept Of PiTe. Stay Tuned ;)
Today is January 18th 2025. Happy Birthday. I appreciate that you are here.
I started out wanting to Be The Change in the world around me, well my prayers were answered, be very very very careful with your words. That is my only way to describe what I am slowly going to try to unfold while also continuing the lesson, the story in real time and all at the same time continuing on a path without a playbook ..well I can only tell you to pray that we survive my crazy plan of purpose for us.. ;)
It's 6:12 AM and it's been a week of frustration on my part because after such a long journey, the best, most effective way to roll out my "project" elluded me until this morning. One thing about me is I am someone who takes risks by thiking of every angle and the crazy thing is they tend to work out. But I think I had to remove my crotch:
This has been my crutch since Dec 7th and this is the first moment I'm facing the reality of the real world and while the visual to you much shock you, trust me the experience did much more than shock me, but add this to the long list of sacrifices I have made to get to this point. Oh wait I forgot the shock photo:
Moment over:
Now I can go back to being Bruce, let me explain this part of this part of the latest part of one hell of a journey:
I don't like people looking at me as someone needing extra attention. I am not someone who accepts the badge in life. I am not someone who uses an injury to gain what many think is the golden ticket like Disability Insurance, I'm someone who ironically enjoys the finer things in life and am not ready to accept my life is in the end stage, it's not how I have ever lived life. But let me tell you if anyone wants to give up, I understand, just don't give up until I do, all I can do is start laying out alot of stuff and hope it starts to connect in a way that makes a difference.
I laid out the beginning stages of this project backwards, the beginning is the current stage where I have ended but the previous pages leads up to it, damn I hope that works, glad to have you along for the journey.
This has been a long journey with no outside assistance for a reason, please help in any way you can because it's time to take this public and pace the way for actual change and you will see my results
