F I N A L W E A P O N – – – LESSONS FROM HISTORY

“We will fight them with the only weapon we have left . . . “‘

That statement was made by one of the most beloved survivors of the Holocaust.

This “final weapon” is not saved to be used only at the end.

This “final weapon” is not the only weapon to be used from the beginning.

This “final weapon” is not produced in factories, but it is not our only weapon now.

The “lesson from history” to be learned here is that we in America may learn, or we may not learn, how to stop the Hitler among us before we are in concentration camps.

Would to God we could learn.

By God’s blessing, America has been exceptional from the start.

I pray for our repentance, so we may now be the exception in history.

 

“We will fight them with the only weapon we have left—love”‘

.                    —Corrie Ten Boom

“NO YOU CAN’T DO THAT” – – – “JUST TRY TO STOP ME”

Sounds like a shouting match between the bullied and the bully.

Actually, it is the sound of American politics.

Actually, it is the sound of American talk radio.

Actually, it is the sound of good guys yelling at bad guys.

Unfortunately, the good guys are yelling and the bad guys are taking action nonstop.

PLEASE, SOMEONE TELL ME WHEN A DICTATOR HAS BEEN STOPPED BY WORDS?

Review each dictator in history and identify what stopped him.

Now there are a lot of people yelling that the dictator in the United States White House can’t do what he is doing.

Is all the yelling stopping him?

Where is the leader taking action to stop him?

Will we learn the difference between words and action before it is too late?

The longer we wait to stop BHOB*, the more impossible it will become.

It is too late for hope that normal means through democratic process will save this country.  Remember, it didn’t work with King George.  And, Texans still Remember the Alamo—it worked.

 

PRAYER—PASSION—SACRIFICE—and—FORCE

—still the fundamentals of freedom—though presently foreign and forgotten.

C H O C O L A T E

Now that title should increase readership.  Someone has to respond to this:

You know how they say love is a verb, to broaden its meaning.  Well, I just thought chocolate should be a verb too, because when you have to have it, it means more than just an object.

 

In case you think I’m writing something for fun because heavy stuff has disappeared, please note:  I’m working on learning the fine art of humor to help deal with the challenges of the world and more frequent birthdays.  I love birthdays—it’s just all the stuff between that adds up to more than a year’s worth.  And these comments are intentionally extra wordy to reflect the extra overloads of life, in mine and in my friends’.

 

Good day to you.

PLEASE LAUGH

How do you keep a spoiled kitty from sounding obnoxious when it is begging for milk?

Don’t keep it waiting so long.

? ? ? MURPHY X X X

As a Christian I do not subscribe to Murphy’s Law, but “someone” keeps sending me a gift subscription.

F R E E D O M

As I soberly ponder the convictions and the words of those who spoke and wrote and sacrificed for freedom in the past, I wonder where the defenders of liberty will come from now.

I do not know what will be asked of us soon, but it may well include the following:

“I would rather die fighting for The Republic of Texas than helplessly watch The United States of America surrender to Islam.”

WHERE’S YOUR HEART? – – – WHERE’S YOUR MONEY?

Your heart and your money will not be in two different places.

It is worth your time to do the following:

Make a simple pie graph with a circle showing all your assets, dividing the graph into proportional wedges.

Make another simple pie graph showing all your current spending, also dividing the graph into proportional wedges.

The first shows where you have laid up your treasures.  Some call it investment security.

The second shows where you are laying up more of your treasures now.  Some call this a budget.

Jesus said both graphs tell where your heart is.

So, transfer both graphs from circles to hearts, and put them up where you will see them daily.

 

Conviction and changed lives follow when we comprehend the words, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

 

? ? ? H O P E ? ? ?

“Let’s hope BHOB* doesn’t do the unthinkable just before the November election.”

That thinking makes about as much sense as hoping he didn’t do the unthinkable things he’s already done against this country.

Dictators do not use restraint when they have tools at their disposal to get more power.

The man in the White House has favorable connections with the Muslim world, and we know what they can do—and imagine what they will do with this man’s encouragement.

The man in the White House hates America, except as a means to his ends.  When you voluntarily listen to anti-American venom from your preacher for decades, you absolutely agree and believe it yourself.

The man in the White House is rightly confident that no one will stop him from anything necessary to stay in power, because no one has stopped him from all his power grabs so far.

The man in the White House looks at unrest in other countries and calculates his response purely in terms of promoting his personal power.  Our involvement at times, and our non-involvement at times, both provide international distraction to his advances.

The man in the White House can and will give a simple, secret message to the key people, at the key moment, and immediate, coordinated chaos will break out across the U. S.  Such a perfect opportunity for dictatorial takeover will make Hitler look like the amateur.

(And—it’s getting harder to find people who say, “It can’t happen here.”)

EVERY MORNING – – – I’M WITH YOU – – – FAITHFUL

Fresh inspiration for anyone married – – –

“Your mercies are new every morning.”

“When I wake up, I am still with you.”

“Great is your faithfulness.”

Some of you may recognize those as Bible verses about God.

I’m asking you to take a bold step and apply them to your marriage.

Literally, word for word, try saying one of them aloud to your spouse first thing in the morning.

They do apply to marriage, just like a Christian’s relationship with God, because He made the analogy.

This will not only inspire—it may challenge you look at your spouse and yourself in a new way.
