SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD
September 16, 2025 By Leave a Comment
+ The first shot heard round the world.
God Spoke—
“Let there be . . . light, day, night, sky, land, seas, plants, trees, sun, moon, stars, fish, birds, creatures, man—male and female.”
No one was there to hear it,
But look what it created !
GOD WAS THERE !
– – –
++ The second shot heard round the world.
God Spoke—
“It is finished.”
Darkness, earthquake, temple shook up, dead rose, centurion saved, I am saved.
GOD WAS THERE !
– – –
+++ The third shot heard round the world.
God Spoke—
“One Nation Under God”
Bible, Preachers, Declaration of Independence, Revolution/Guns, Miraculous Victory, Constitution.
GOD WAS THERE !
– – –
++++ The fourth shot heard round the world.
God Spoke—
Turning Point for the USA ! ! !
One young man answered the call to follow Jesus, with everything he had.
God honors what pleases Him.
Thousands followed him, followed the call to follow Him.
Now, millions more follow.
God, Save America !
God, Bless America !
GOD WAS THERE !
Thank You, Charlie Kirk.
Thank You, God, for Charlie Kirk.
Thank You for the call to follow in his footsteps to follow Jesus, faithful where He calls, me, inspires, me, to make such a difference.

WHY SO INVOLVED IN POLITICS

WHY HASN’T PUTEN TAKEN UKRAINE ?
August 23, 2025 By Leave a Comment
I suppose the truth is in adding the word “YET”.
Puten is planning on taking Ukraine—planning on it since the day he invaded.
Puten is proceeding with that plan to the limits of what NATO and the United States will allow.
Puten gives gestures of talking and peace as necessary to get more time to bomb Ukraine, to get closer to taking Ukraine.
Puten believes we can’t or won’t stop him.
Puten is an intelligent, patient, brutal dictator who wants Ukraine back, and he’s working on getting Ukraine back, no matter what it takes.
Puten, like all dictators, does not care about human lives sacrificed for HIS goals.
Puten, like all dictators, will be stopped only by force.
Military force to stop Puten is not looking very likely now.
Economic force to stop Puten is going to take a miracle.
We pray for that !
WARNING – – – DANGER – – – BEWARE

“Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come.
‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.”
“Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets.”
“But those desiring to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge men into ruin and destruction.”
“The love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have strayed from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
“God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’ This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
“A foolish woman is boisterous;
She says to him who lacks understanding,
‘Stolen water is sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.’
But he does not know that the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of hell.”
“Keep your path far from her;
do not go near the door of her house.”
“You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood, in striving against sin.”
“A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.”
The Lord knows how to deliver those who are His—a Bible passage starting with “If . . .”
“If [then five verses listing dramatic punishments and deliverances, continues] then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations.”
“The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and He will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom.”
Jesus told us to pray, “Our Father, . . . deliver us from evil.”
We must pray that prayer.
“Ask, and it will be given to you.”
“DAILY BREAD” FOR RETIREMENT
August 16, 2025 By Leave a Comment
Is the title an oxymoron ?
??? What if there’s “our daily bread”, and then there’s . . .
??? What if “our daily bread”* that we have so dutifully prioritized, worked for, slaved over, stashed ‘securely’ for someday here, and followed the best financial advice to keep making more . . .**
??? What if the God Who provided “the means to get wealth” . . .
??? What if the God Who provided manna for Israel, with specific instructions . . .
??? What if the same God Who directed His people so carefully in the past . . .
??? What if He has something to say—a lot to say—about the details today . . .
??? Has He really turned us loose to make our own decisions about “our daily bread” – – –
??? Is the only parameter for us now, that our ‘hearts’ are in the right place—and then we’re on our own . . .
??? Do we still depend on “Our Father in heaven” for “our daily bread” . . .
??? Do we really even need to pray this prayer when we already have more “daily bread” than we need . . .

Manna spoiled BAD when they didn’t follow instructions in the wilderness.
What if our manna, “our daily bread”, spoils ROTTEN for not following instructions ?
AND—OH—BY THE WAY—
There is a boatload of instructions for us—unmistakable—can’t miss—about “our daily bread” (and other wealth, man-made, not from God).
But it’s working for thousands of people, Christians—their manna is not spoiling, saved up and stored up for someday, and providing wonderful retirement for many, even now.
–
Perhaps our provision for our better life here in our later years, perhaps that is not “our daily bread’ from God.
Perhaps God’s manna (His real Daily Bread) has spoiled rotten like it did for Israel in the wilderness, when they tried to save it in disobedience, and we don’t even know we’re missing “our daily bread” from “Our Father”.
We’re loading up, stashing plenty here to take care of us later, “treasures on earth”, and we miss “our daily bread”.
So simple:
“Daddy, Give us just what we need to live, just today.”
Any additions, corrections, deletions to improve on that ?
–
Our system of “laying up treasures on earth” with “much goods laid up for many years . . . to retire” is so tightly secure against criticism or debate, that even God can’t touch it, much less crazy people quoting Bible verses warning against it.
In light of so many warnings—so many warnings about the dangers of riches and the dangers of wanting to be rich and the dangers of riches making it harder to go to heaven . . . , why do so many Christians spend a lifetime trying to beat the odds ?
“God doesn’t settle all His accounts on . . .”***
– – –
* “our daily bread”
“this day”
“give us”
That is—
this day – – – just today, for today
daily – – – one day, then one day, then
give – – – receive, free, not ‘get’
** More means enough is never enough.
*** God does not settle all His accounts upon our ‘successful’ retirement.
IS IT A FAULT ?

Observations
Questions
I see friends, family, acquaintances working very hard to ‘get ahead’, to do better, to ‘succeed’.
Some seem to accomplish this easily (with satisfaction)—others with great difficulty and setbacks (with frustration).
In America, is it a fault to be content with your economic level, your standard of living, and not want more, talk about more, and work to get more ?
Is something wrong if you are not dissatisfied with where you are in the first half of of life ?
Is it the American way that dissatisfaction drives free enterprise, to improve personal and national economics ?
