If your life is impressive to others, it is probably not impressive to God.
If you are relatively free of trouble, you are probably in trouble.
If the devil has not attacked you recently, he probably doesn’t need to.

Y2K14 – – – CLOSER THAN WE THINK
June 10, 2014 By Leave a Comment
The year 2000—Y2K—came and went without disaster, without disrupting our lives, with hardly a glitch.
Prophets of crash and gloom come and go—and American life goes on.
Debt crisis and government shutdown “catastrophes” make the news annually—and then go away again and again.
Courts take away our freedoms more and more—but most people still go to work every day.
The Administration has five rounds of hollow point bullets reserved for each one of us—but if we can’t see it, we don’t think about it.
Illegal policies implemented by the government become the norm—and we are getting used to it.
BUT—November is coming!
AND—Elections have consequences!
SO—We have five months to turn things around?
BHOB* also knows he has five months to fully secure his control in spite of elections.
Y2K14—six months left in this year.
Y2K14—life as we know it will likely change dramatically.
Y2K—Potential like a rippling brook.
Y2K14—Potential like the roar of Niagara Falls.
*Barack Hussein OBama—Say BHHHOB aloud and it sounds like the warning for Christians in the 2008 election: “Beware of sheep’s clothing.”
“A PEP TALK IN EVERY DROP”

I found these words of encouragement and challenge on cough drop wrappers recently:
You’ve survived tougher.
Don’t waste a precious minute.
Fire up those engines!
The show must go on (work).
DOCUMENT THE DISASTER? – – – OR – – – DESTROY THE DICTATORSHIP?
May 30, 2014 By Leave a Comment
There is now a glut of documentation for the lawless evil in the highest levels of the United States government. And sadly, it is trickling down to the lower levels in many places.
I am increasingly disturbed as I listen to the people I trust bringing out new facts of corruption continuously. What troubles me even more now, as I observe the zeal and passion for uncovering scandals, is that it becomes an end in itself. Investigators, reporters, and commentators at the top of their field have job security like never before, and they do a great service. But it is not enough.
I’ve said before that the two greatest hazards for our country are 1) The news of the day and 2) The democratic process.
I believe that most of the time and attention given to the currently prominent disasters actually serve to distract all of us from the real agenda proceeding unabated, until it is too late.
It seems like everyone with an audience still pushes for the next election to solve our problems in Washington, like it has in the past, like it is supposed to. But as I wrote recently, that is not enough, just like the democratic process was not enough to form this country.
People don’t want a revolution, and pundits and politicians hold their tongue and try harder through ‘business as usual’ channels.
Truth is, we don’t know how to revolt.
+The House won’t impeach because the Senate won’t follow.
+The internet makes revolution seems impossible, unknown, and awkward.
+The people who depend on the government won’t revolt.
+The government already has us over the barrel.
But I appeal to the very small percentage of the population who understand the gravity of our condition to the point of revolution, and are ready to sacrifice.
So it was 240 years ago. We can’t keep dreaming that history won’t repeat itself. I believe in American exceptionalism, but we are not that exceptional to avoid what we must do to preserve our freedom.
INVENTION? – – – OR – – – DISCOVERY?
May 29, 2014 By Leave a Comment
Evolution is an invention.
Evolution has never been discovered.
Cows and Corn—Dinosaurs and DNA—around from the beginning—we’ve lost some—but we’ve never gained any.
We “invented” computers—We discovered DNA.
Now we find that the intricacies of DNA code, and the code readers, closely parallel the way computers work.
So, perhaps computers are actually a discovery, not so much an invention.
All credit to the Creator/Inventor of all, who allows us to create/invent amazing things as we discover the tools and principles neatly and orderly hidden all around us from the beginning.
“And it was very good.”
DICTATORS – – – HOW DO THEY WIN? – – – HOW DO THEY LOSE?
May 28, 2014 By Leave a Comment
Dictators may come to power through elections, but they are not removed from power by the democratic process.
That is very sobering for America today, while most people who love this country still put their hope in trying harder in the next election.
Can we not remember that this country was not created by trying to follow the “democratic” process under King George?
Can we not see that the accomplishments of the Tea Party movement are a far cry from what the Boston Tea Party accomplished?
Can we face the reality that rules will have to be broken to save this country, violence will happen in the streets of America, and American lives will be sacrificed to defeat the enemy, within, this time?
Whatever the founders had and whatever the patriots gave, then, to fight to make this country; that is what we must reclaim to save it, now, literally.
Dictators may come to power through elections, but they are not removed from power by the democratic process.
“WE MUST OBEY . . . AND WE WILL”

It is not common for me to quote the leader of a large church denomination, but here is one that I remember years after he said it.
It was spoken on national news after Obamacare was confirmed as the law of the land.
“We must obey God rather than men. AND WE WILL.”
The time has come for “WILL.”

IN SEARCH OF . . . LIFE . . .. AND FAMILY
May 2, 2014 By Leave a Comment
Everybody is in search of life.
Everywhere in all creation every living thing wants to live. We see the struggle, yes even the fight for life, at every level. Observe any animal about to give birth, and you don’t want to mess with that mother, who will defend her unborn and newborn at all cost—with her life if necessary. We are touched in our hearts by stories of babies that survived tragedies of heat or cold because the mother covered them with her body, but died herself. And many of those stories are true of human babies and mothers.
The strongest motivation in the world is the instinct to do anything to stay alive. It is there throughout life, and it is there in the unborn baby. It is only when natural selfless affection is overcome by unnatural selfishness, that a helpless unborn baby loses that fight to live at the will of the mother and at the hands of others who were allowed to live to kill.
Everybody is in search of life.

Everybody is in search of a family.
Everybody needs to belong to a family.
All children need to know where they come from.
All children need a mother and father to nurture and protect them and thereby give them security and worth.
Any substitute for a family with a mother and father, leaves children missing something vital at best, and subject to severe damage at worst.
Everybody is in search of a family.

Everybody is in search of the family.
In all of human history every civilization has valued and sought to protect the family with a mother and a father and their children.
It is obviously the foundation and the building block for any enduring culture and country.
All rationale to override or replace the natural family leaves untold devastation for children, for adults, for communities, and for nations.
