Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
Time to thank the Lord:
+for America
+for Freedom
+for Christians Praying
+for God’s Promises
+for Safety
+for Donald Trump’s clear commitments
Time to ask the Lord:
+for Wisdom
+for Continued Prayer
+for Repentance
+for Vigilance
+for Protection
+for Bold Witness
Only one threat has been stopped.
Others live to strike any time.
Rejoicing and relief today—YES!
Business as usual now—NO!
I now have no reservations about voting for Donald Trump tomorrow, based on the following:
+The people he has chosen to surround him and advise him
+The clearly stated actions he has promised for correcting our biggest problems
+The published list for Supreme Court judges
+The time he has spent with, listening to, James Robison and Phil Robertson, who told him clearly about Jesus
+The absolute clarity in the debate, answering the question about appointing judges and abortion
A couple comparisons give perfect clarity distinguishing Trump and Clinton:
T—There is nothing in all the things Donald Trump has said that caused the death of people, and he wants to stop killing babies and stop funding Planned Parenthood.
C—There is a scary list of dead people in Hillary Clinton’s past and present, and she emphatically wants to keep killing more babies and supporting those who do.
T—We don’t know if Trump can succeed in bringing America back from the brink and make it great again, but he has pledged to do so and has a plan that will work, to keep our freedoms of life and faith and guns and the use of our God-given resources.
C—We do know that Hillary will succeed in pushing America over the brink and making it unrecognizable, and she has pledged to go after Christians and take our guns and kill another generation of Americans before they have a chance to see this blessed country.
I say that is enough to vote on.
Right to Invite
does not give
Right to Incite
if invitation is refused.
The problem with life is that it takes so much time, until the end.
I urgently need to relax—and relaxing takes longer than you think.
Halfway through watching “Pale Rider” again, the community of holdout miners with families had to decide to stay and fight or get paid to leave.
It reminds me of what we’ll face soon.
Get bought—or stand and fight for what we believe in, right where we live.
And when the movie ends, my comment and conviction is this:
If only we had enough preachers today, armed with the Bible and guns, to make King BHOB* shake in his boots like King George feared The Black-Robed Regiment.

There is a great business with many great products with a big office building with a fence around the property with lots of guard dogs keeping vigilant watch over the property and the business.
The business has been phenomenally successful for a long time, thanks to the many faithful guard dogs and the many dedicated people committed to the business who have occupied the office.
Over the years there have been many bad people who tried to break in and steal from the business to destroy it and even kill the people in the office and kill the guard dogs.
But the people running the office and the guard dogs have always been an unbeatable team.
The guard dogs are not all the same breed, but they have always communicated well with each other and with the office people.
The guard dogs never got tired of standing guard and loudly alerting everyone at the first hint of danger.
The office people always quickly rushed to the danger and dealt with any potential intruders.
And at those rare times when security was breached, all the guard dogs rushed to the occasion, unified with total commitment, and thoroughly disposed of the bad guys as only guard dogs can do.
As the business became more successful, the guard dogs got better food, more food, and became fatter and slower and less motivated to stand guard with the same focus as before.
And then something happened to the leadership in the office, and the guard dogs did not realize at first that it was also their duty to guard the office from bad guys taking over from inside the security fence.
It turns out the people in the office were inviting bad guys into the office and making secret deals with them for their own benefit, endangering everything the business stood for.
At first the guard dogs were stunned, in disbelief.
Then a few of them barked a warning, and others told them to be quiet and not attract attention, because they weren’t sure of imminent danger.
Normally the guard dogs didn’t go in the house, except for a handful specially trained in secret manners.
Then rumors got the best of the guard dogs, and some of them approached the house to sniff out the truth.
They found out the danger was real, and worse than they imagined.
Everyone in the house was planning and working to destroy the whole business.
When the guard dogs barked out the truth they had learned, there was such an outcry throughout the vast property of the business, it was like the opening scene of 101 Dalmations.
Then things really started happening.
What can the guard dogs do but bark, when the business leaders invited the bad guys in, safe inside the office?
What can the handful of secret guard dogs do inside the office, when they are trained to protect the people in the office, who are now in with the bad guys.
As some of the guard dogs speak up—bark up the tree—one here and one there die from poisoned meat.
Now what?
Do the guard dogs keep barking up a frenzy, but carefully dodge the poisoned meat by not really doing anything about what’s going on in the house?
Do the guard dogs shut up and suffer silently, or unite and storm the house and do what they must do, to save the business and reclaim the life they once knew?
I trust that I do not need to explain the analogy.
“. . . we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”

TO BARK—OR NOT TO BARK
TO BITE—OR NOT TO BITE
Who was in your mommy’s tummy before you were born?
I’m letting you reflect on that question without my comments.
Imagine all possible responses.
Ask the question to acquaintances and strangers.
When the second amendment was written, it was a given that everyone had guns for hunting and self-defense.
That was not what prompted the amendment.
The founders knew that someday it would be necessary for the citizens to use their guns to control the government.
That is why the Constitution clearly states NO RESTRICTIONS on the people’s right to bear arms.
And when the government talks about limiting or taking away our guns, that is the final warning that it is time to use our guns to take the government and put it back in the hands of the people.
Problem is—we don’t know how to do that today.*
The best direction is to review why our forefathers had to declare independence from the tyranny of King George, and how they achieved it by revolution.
We now have tyranny in Washington that is a greater threat to every one of us than Great Britain 240 years ago.
Simple conclusion:
If we can’t revolt and take America back now, then we better proceed with re-establishing The Republic of Texas.
Otherwise we will soon have a world with no bastion of freedom left anywhere.
*Problem is—No one knows how to get around Big Brother’s technology surveillence to organize and lead effective, widespread resistance.
So we’re left with every man for himself when “they” show up at our door and have a shootout.
And that goes back to the opening statement that the second amendment was not written for common sense self-defense at our doorstep.
It was written so people could do whatever it takes to stop the entire government from doing what this government is doing now.
We are told in the Bible to not predict the date for the end of the world.
But we are told to notice the signs that the end of the world is getting close.
What are those signs?
Basically everything in the news, including the alternate media.
I will mention just one of the signs listed in the Bible—“men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for those things coming upon the world.”
And what about the end of free America?
Free America is just about history already—we just haven’t yet seen our daily lives disrupted severely.
The question is “When?”
It is only a matter of time until the violence abroad becomes commonplace here—no longer occasional incidents.
And, THE BIG ONE is coming to America just as surely as history repeats itself.
If people really believed the end of America is coming,
If people really believed the end of the world is coming,
If people really believed the end of their lives is coming,
Would they actually do something to get ready?
Will you actually do something to get ready?
The beginning of America rested on the end of King George’s tyranny, but only a small percentage of Americans committed to the fight—but thank God they won, because they depended on Him.
The survival of America rests on the end of King BHOB*s tyranny, but it is hard to find that small percentage of Americans committed to the fight now, because so few depend on God.
Too many potential patriots today are still too comfortable with what America has offered them, to be willing to sacrifice “our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor” like the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Those men knew what they were pledging, and nearly all of them made good on their word—most paid dearly, severely, by the time independence was won.
I fear that those who do understand this today, and can make a difference, especially in leadership, will wait too long to act.
I am encouraged that two governors, in Texas and North Carolina, are committed to doing without federal government money, to save our freedom and protect our families.
And that is only the first step.
It will soon cost all of us, if we want our freedom.
When the end of free America is imminent, we must talk about it and deal with it, and do what we can to prepare.
When the end of our life is imminent, we must talk about it and deal with it, and do what we can to prepare.
I give you the bottom line, from my byline that says, “Making a difference in your life in the parts that are for keeps.”
+++Take time to be holy, the world rushes on.
+++Much time spend in secret, with Jesus alone.
+++By looking to Jesus, like Him you will be;
+++Your friends in your conduct, His likeness shall see.
And that makes you an agent of change.
