Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
Weatherbug was delighted to report the gorilla population is rising in Uganda and the Congo.
I guess the evolutionists are happy with that, so when we get rid of enough people, the gorillas can be in charge and start the whole process again of evolution to man, better this time.
Lots of luck—and that is a rare appropriate use of ‘luck’.
Of course, if I had a pet gorilla to identify with as a relative, I’d be thrilled too with their comeback—NOT ON YOUR LIFE ! ! !
Imagine in a few years, saying,
“Remember how good things were in 2023.”
Rules that say, “NEVER”—so I don’t have to make a decision.
Rules that say, “NEVER”—so I don’t have to wrestle with uncomfortable dilemmas.
Rules that say, “NEVER”—so I can do what someone else says and not think about it (and not think?).
Rules that say, “NEVER”—so I can exempt myself from involvement in someone’s yucky problems.
Rules that say, “NEVER”——“EXCEPT”—“BUT”—“WHAT IF”—“NOW I HAVE TO”

Don’t expect me to clear everything up for you and make things simple.
I just get weary of blanket rules, blanket doctrines, blanket policies, that come up short when real life throws a curve for you or someone you know or a country you love.

NEVER raise your voice (don’t ever yell) with your children or your spouse.
– – – Don’t try to be so perfect that you never have to say, “I’m sorry.”
– – – Be real about your faults, don’t hide them.
NEVER get involved in something that’s none of your business.
– – – Many, many marriages and families would not fail if we cared enough to get in their trenches.
– – – There are not enough professionals who know what people really need—a friend with time for them.
NEVER dispute theologians and established church doctrines.
– – – Worship God, not any church.
– – – Read the Bible, Trust the Bible, not anyone who claims superior understanding.
NEVER break the laws you don’t like—change the laws.
– – – Sometimes a law has to be broken to change it.
– – – Sometimes a law will never be changed—don’t let it break your conscience.
NEVER cross the line in Christian activism—limits—no force, no damage, no violence.
– – – Sometimes bad guys with violence can only be stopped by good guys with violence.
– – – Good guys were part of the Boston Tea Party—the catalyst for our Revolutionary War.
– – – The Black Robed Regiment inspired the patriots with their sermons and their guns—and were the most feared by King George.
Many people who made a difference for good, for freedom, went through changes from watching to warring.

The Second Amendment—
When did the ‘gun part’ become off limits to stop a wayward government ?
Ending with a quote from a speech by Winston Churchill:
“Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never Give Up.”
DOWN TIME – good or bad ?
DOWN TIME – can I afford it ?
DOWN TIME – can I choose it ?
DOWN TIME – can I do it ?
Do I fear DOWN TIME ?
Do I avoid DOWN TIME ?
Could I face myself in DOWN TIME ?
Could I rest in DOWN TIME ?
DOWN TIME – would it reveal my attention deficit disorder ?
DOWN TIME – would it show my hyperactive disorder ?
DOWN TIME – could I lose status ?
DOWN TIME – too foreign for me ?
Does DOWN TIME sound a bit too close to God time ?
How could I have time for DOWN TIME ?
What would I have to change for DOWN TIME ?
I can’t do it – DOWN TIME !
I’ve bought in to –
I’ve locked in to –
– a mental, emotional, social, perpetual-motion machine –
– must keep going round and round –
– can’t get off now –
– can’t stop the merry-go-round
DOWN TIME struggle is nothing new – just ramped up now
DOWN TIME – old days –
– “sold your soul to the company store” –
– no choice but to keep going –
– even get deeper in debt
DOWN TIME – now days –
– “sold your soul to the company cell” –
– no choice but to keep it up –
– or get behind –
– and get deeper enslaved ?
“Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Come apart by yourselves to a secluded place and rest awhile.’ For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure, even to eat.”
‘Come apart’ to rest—or come apart.
Once upon a time, in real history, in our American history, 376 years ago, . . .

Once upon a time, in real history, in our American history, not years ago, but TODAY, . . .

376 years ago—
In 1647 the Massachusetts legislature passed “The Old Deluder Satan Act”, to educate children with the Bible to protect them from the devil.
“One chief project of that old deluder, Satan,” the law read, was to “keep men from the knowledge of the Scriptures.”
In the late 1600’s The New England Primer became the universal reading book in America for over a hundred years, with rhyming couplets for the alphabet, mostly from the Bible.
It is said that “Every town soon had a school, though few had prisons.”

TODAY—
In 1962 the United States Supreme Court effectively ruled out prayer in public schools.
In 1963 the United States Supreme Court effectively ruled out Bible reading in public schools.
In 1980 the United States Supreme Court ruled out the Ten Commandments in public schools.*
We now have sixty years observing and living with the teachings of the Bible not allowed in our schools, and so, completely missing in most children’s lives.
The old deluder, satan, has had his grandest field day transforming this most God-fearing and God-blessed country into hell.
Too strong words ? , because we still have lots of freedoms and lots of blessings ?
The Bible we abandoned says, “The wicked will be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”
– – –
What if The Old Deluder Satan Act was revoked, along with the mindset that called for it’s passing back then ?
Well, that is exactly what we have today.
If satan can no longer be thwarted in our children’s lives by teaching them the Bible, then satan has free reign to completely control our children.
Could it be more obvious—that is exactly why two generations now believe in evolution as fact, acting like we came from animals, as taught.
So it is no wonder that they also vote for godless leaders, hell-bent on destroying America.

*”If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments are to have any effect at all, it will be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey, the Commandments. However desirable this might be as a matter of private devotion, it is not a permissible state objective under the Establishment Clause.”—–United States Supreme Court
