Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
What do the following have in common?
—Punishment
—Persecution
—Sacrifice
All three involve “suffering.”
Punishment involves suffering, and it is your fault.
Persecution involves suffering, and it is not your fault.
Sacrifice involves suffering, and it is your choice.
Some of us have a lot to learn about the cost of sacrifice.
Considering some who come from Chicago—
01) The mafia is not answerable to the democratic process.
02) Dictators are often elected but are never voted out of office.
03) Traitors are never rehabilitated.
When America was strong, we dealt with dictators and traitors.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident . . . ”
—U. S. Declaration of Independence
A fully functioning culvert lets all the water coming in, pass through quickly—or it will choke up with silt and debris.
Likewise, if we are clean conduits, we let the blessings coming into our life, flow on through immediately to bless others—or else our hearts will increasingly focus on what we keep, and our lives will get clogged with things we don’t need.
A culvert that is choked up is worthless.
A clogged life is a sad sight, without consideration for those we were called to bless.
What is the force behind the universe?
Which of these two statements is true, and which is false?
01) The greatest EVOLUTION ever observed is this: that a man lay down his life for his friends.
02) “Greater LOVE has no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
The best part of getting old is the getting, not the arriving.
As long as you’re getting older, you’re not old yet.
As you get older, why is a rocking chair better than an easy chair?
Because in a rocking chair, for the most part you’re still moving.
Consider the numerous words (adjectives) that are used to describe politicians, both positive and negative, complimentary and critical, always qualifying the term.
Now consider the one word for those who serve their country on a higher plane, which has become extremely rare but so very needed again today—
STATESMAN
No adjectives.
A “MUST SEE” movie, opening March 23.
You’ll be glad you did.
Tell others to see it.
It’s that simple.
It’s that good.
Have all the efforts of Congress, and talk shows, and conservative and Christian organizations actually stopped any of BHOB’s* agenda?
NO !
None of the efforts of Congress, and talk shows, and conservative and Christian organizations have actually stopped any of BHOB’s agenda.
What has been his agenda since day one of his campaign, through today? It has been to fundamentally change America, beyond the point of recognition or recovery.
BHOB is proceeding with his agenda, unabated, and so far, unstoppable.
THEREFORE:
01) We have to do things we have not yet done.
02) We must have a leader who will unite all the people and organizations that care about America, so we can again “hang together, or we will all hang separately.”
03) We must be prepared that the election in November may not save us.
04) We must learn sacrifice from the committed Americans who originally pledged “their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor,” and made good on that pledge.
05) We must learn from history. CHANGING AMERICA BACK will be harder than starting this great country.
06) Every person who cares about this country must get serious about praying. “God, what do You want to change in my life? God, show me what you want me to do for my neighbor and for my country?”
Oh Beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife;
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life.
America, America, may God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine.
*Barack Hussein OBama—Say BHHHOB aloud and it sounds like the warning for Christians in the 2008 election: “Beware of sheep’s clothing.”

(My answer and a “Therefore . . .” tomorrow)
