COMMISSIONED CHAOS CREATORS

June 28, 2026 By Leave a Comment

Paid ‘protesters’ do whatever they’re paid to do, whether or not they believe in the ’cause’ or really oppose what they are protesting.

Don’t take the paid protesters seriously for their supposed purpose.

Do take their actions seriously, when they cross the line beyond the Constitutional right to “petition the Government for a redress of grievances”, and they break the law, endangering officers unprovoked.

What we have seen in recent months is nothing of legitimately exercising the first amendment.

People in protests are not addressing legitimate grievances, many of which they could not even identify or define.
They don’t even know the reason they are there—just paid money.

Useful idiots
— paid protesters
— brainwashed media—slaves of leaders on left
— brainwashed media watchers
— manipulated masses believe the repetition from lying downstream media
— even organizers using protesters are themselves useful idiots, not realizing they are pushing a cause, an ideology that will turn on them

More useful idiots
— voters electing (re-electing) officials bent on destroying their city, state, nation
— some elected govt leaders believe they will actually live to see their promises come true, after they tear down and rebuild—only a very few, historically one person (dictator) and his selected handful get to enjoy the good life of the reset.

SOCIALISM IS THE GATEWAY DRUG T0 . . .

June 28, 2026 By Leave a Comment

Socialism is the gateway drug to communism to tyranny and dictatorship.

On their way up to power, socialists promise the moon with free stuff, and people ‘buy it’ and vote them into office.
Dictators are often voted into power, but they are never voted out of power.

Drug dealers gain new customers by offering free stuff at first, and people ‘buy it’ and so vote themselves into the web.
However inviting it may appear at first, the cruel reality quickly gets brutal, with no escape.

Free is not forever, and sometimes not for very long at all.

Human nature never changes, never learns, responding to promises and lies and offers too good to be true—from the devil in the Garden of Eden, to Hitler in Germany, to Newsom in California and Mamdani in New York.

We will soon see how long before hollow promises turn to cruel and brutal force.

America has only one recourse—turn back to our founding and reclaim our dependence on God.

RUNAWAY(S)

April 15, 2026 By Leave a Comment

1-Runaway train of _ _ _ (fill in the blank, add to the list)
2- Runaway kids
3- Runaway spending
4- Runaway debt
5- Runaway technology
6- Runaway inflation
7- Runaway crime
8- Runaway protests
9- Runaway violence

10- Runaway power
11- Runaway passion
12- Runaway screen speed
13- Runaway temptation
14- Runaway pornography
15- Runaway sex addiction
16- Runaway sex trafficking

17- RUNAWAY CONTROL

18- Runaway fear
19- Runaway anxiety
20- Runaway disconnection
21- Runaway uncertainty
22- Runaway information worship
23- Runaway self worship
24- RUNAWAY EVIL

It was #12-“Runaway screen speed” that triggered me and got this list started.
Almost everyone recognizes that too much in our world is going too fast, but nobody can afford to do anything about it, even if we wanted to.
We can’t get off the merry-go-round that’s spinning faster and faster—we could get hurt—we would lose just about everything.

So we don’t talk about it—a worn-out topic—we’ve got to keep going.

A few people have their niche carved out, their oasis in their week to slow down and be normal.
The rest of their time, and the rest of people, continue to fuel the race to go even faster.
Just watch I-35 for awhile (oxymoron—race track with speed limits)

So, normal is not the list above.

So, how much faster can we handle ?

So, what is the human speed limit ?

Has man ever been here before ?
Crime ? Yes
Evil ? Yes
Sin ? Yes
Information ? No
Consumption ? No
Speed ? No
Communication ? No
Knowledge ? No
Expectation ? No

WISDOM ?
RESPECT THE OLDER ?
VALUE THE PAST ?

I may be the only one—or one of only a few–
— who grew up without tv
— who does not have tv now
— who considers that an asset, a blessing
— who can look at all the Runaway everything engulfing us everywhere around us— engulfing us like a tsunami—and not be swamped by it
— who can be distressed by it, yes, but not engulfed by it
— who does not participate in the high speed ‘competition’ (like watching I-35 traffic differently – read RELIGIOUS RITUALS on this website)
— who wants to talk about what’s happening with all the Runaway speed
— who can look at all this differently because “I have to”, because “I can’t compete”, because “I’m too old”, BUT that’s not all . . .
— who may be too old, too slow, too over the hill, BUT that’s not all . . .

I have some wisdom–

  • from 75 years
  • from Daddy
  • from God
  • from the Bible
  • from stuff I’ve been through . . .
  • . . . “through many dangers, toils, and snares . . .”
  • from Amazing Grace—
    “grace that brought me safe this far,
    and grace will lead me home.”

I write because I believe this wisdom can be “making a difference in your life in the parts that are for keeps”.

There’s more to my writing than warning about the impending, inevitable crash, from going too fast.

We’re missing what can only be gained slowly—and we don’t even know what it is—‘the old school’ (enter “PIONEERS” in the search bar above).

COMFORTABLE

April 8, 2026 By Leave a Comment

Can one word say so much ?
Can one word say it all ?
Can one word preach a sermon ?
Can one word write a book ?

Then I realized the book might not happen now.
And the sermon might be too long.
And, maybe there is food for thought in the outline itself.
I want the reader to think, not just read what I think (I do plenty of that).

As I wrote the following notes, two pertinent illustrations came to mind.
I forgot one before I could write it down.
And that makes me uncomfortable as a writer.
I’ll have to live, and write, without it.

Bull—Here’s the winner, that got this article going.
A trusted foreman for a wise cattleman was sent to an auction some distance away, to bid for a special bull to be sold on a certain day.
He was given enough money for bus fare both ways, and the max he could bid.
The bidding was intense, because it was a top-of-the-line bull.
As the bids approached the amount of money in his pocket, the foreman made a decision.
If necessary, he would add the amount of his bus fare home and his own money.
Sure enough, he won the bid and bought the bull.
But he had no way home, and only enough money for a one-word telegram to his boss.
He came up with the perfect one-liner in one word:
COMFORTABLE

That story may not leave you with profound insights, but you will remember COM FOR TA BLE and this article.
Comfortable—good, bad, ugly ?

Do we know what we want to communicate, what we must communicate, what matters most, to the people who matter most, ahead of time, before we know what is going to happen, no matter what happens.
Do we expect to communicate success in the things that matter most, because we will give everything we have (that is, everything that has been entrusted to us) to accomplish what we were sent here to accomplish ? ***

Most of my prayers are asking God to make my life easier, more Comfortable.

I usually want others to feel sorry for me or help me when my life is not Comfortable.

Without the sermon (the book) on Comfortable, on all the above—a few words from The Word, the bottom line:

“Woe to those who are at ease in Zion.”

“Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”

” ‘Take your ease . . .’—BUT GOD said, ‘Tonight your soul will be required of you.’ “

And there’s a boatload more from The Book, already written.

MURPHY’S LAW – JOB VERSION 10.0

March 27, 2026 By Leave a Comment

As a Christian, I do not subscribe to murphy’s law—but someone keeps sending me a gift subscription.

Job got a double, triple subscription from that someone himself—and Job didn’t know the back story for the source.

–

“Though He (my God) slay me, yet I will trust in Him.”

“The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

“Should we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity ?”

“In all this Job did not sin with his lips.”

GIVE – – – or – – – SPEND

“They gave of their abundance. She gave all she had.”

“If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry . . .”

“. . . satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.
The Lord will guide you always;
He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

GIVE SOME ?

SPEND YOURSELF !

WHAT IF JESUS TOLD YOU TO . . . ?

March 15, 2026 By Leave a Comment

(I typed ‘bowels’ in the search bar, and was inspired to reprint/add to this from six years ago.)

Could Jesus tell you to do the same thing He told people in the Bible ?
No, Jesus wouldn’t tell me to do that—that was just for the person He was talking to in the Bible.

Such as . . .?
+”Sell all you have, give it to the poor, and come follow Me.”
+”You feed them.”
+”Let the little children come to Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God.” DON’T KILL THEM—Don’t “send them away,” as the disciples said.
+”Don’t lay up treasures on earth.” (as in the typical American retirement portfolio)
+”Where your treasure is, there your heart WILL BE ALSO.”
+”Lay up treasure in heaven.” (can’t lay it up in heaven and keep it on earth)
+”If you see your brother or sister in need, and shut up your bowels of compassion, how does the love of God dwell in you?”
+”Do good to all people, especially to those of the household of faith.”
– – –
The devil’s first words, to Eve, effective ever since:
“Did God really say . . .?”
What if Jesus asked you to do something uncomfortable, to give up . . ., to give away . . .?
You might ought to listen, and do it.
Learn from Adam and Eve—it boils down to a simple choice, not rationale.
Are you afraid to go against the grain of history, especially current American history ?
– – –
Better to be on the right side with God—the right side of His/story—than on the right side of momentary, modern history.

SKIN IN THE GAME

March 9, 2026 By Leave a Comment

Now that fear has rocketed oil prices and gas prices at the pump, the war on Iran is more than the news on our screens.

We now have skin in the ‘game’—in the war to defeat Iran.

Americans, we have a choice in the game, in the war.
Which side are you on?—support America so freedom wins, or degrade America so evil wins.
Which side am I on ?—support America so freedom wins !

Get off the bench (the couch) from just watching—get in the fight with all our support and give everything to help us win.

OR

Complain and cheerlead against America—for Evil Iran to continue.

No middle ground now !
