Is It Is, or Is It Was?

Posted in Coronavirus, Fauci, Uncategorized by

Odd question, isn’t it? Is it something that still is, or is it something that was, that is to say, no longer exists. The question came to mind as I was watching one of those Law-and-Order things. don’t remember which. I think it was filmed a year or two before the China virus.

In the background was a large restaurant. I ignored the foreground for a while and looked at the restaurant. There it was. I suspect it was a real restaurant with real owners and real employees. I suspect they had a regular clientele right there in NY, NY someplace. I wonder if it still is. I wonder if it is one of those places that was and is no more.

Perhaps the owner went bankrupt. Perhaps he was one of those horrible statistics. NY, NY was one of the hardest hit cities. Moreover, the mayor and governor had no idea what they were doing. Even if the restaurant is still there, they might have lost many of their regulars. There were many restaurant goers who no longer go to restaurants.

It is another reminder that one day, in a country halfway around the world, a lab was doing unthinkable research and one of the greatest disasters ever, began when some of those super microscopic semi-living organisms escaped and the world will never be the same.

President Trump said it started in China so he called it the China virus. I watched as it spread, first from the west and then from the east to my little corner of the world. I think I had it twice. I guess God decided to keep me around for a while. I suffered, yes, but I’m still here. Don’t think I’ll ever be the same again. I don’t have nearly the energy.

I watched it on TV. First, they talked about tens, then hundreds the hundreds of thousands. It spread so fast, sort of like it was designed to do that. My thought was it was those horrid Chinese. Then my eyes were opened. We financed that research. It was money from this country that killed the millions. No one really pays any attention once we start talking thousands.

As for me, I like to think in terms of individuals. So, here I am wondering if that restaurant is or if it was.

How quickly the dems accuse Republicans of being Nazis. Yet, can one dem point out one Republican that caused more death than Fauci. Has there ever been a conservative that has caused such disruption to international trade and travel. Has so much as one person on the right side of the isle caused 2- and 3-year-olds to wear masks on airlines, when they knew they do no good. And by the way, does anyone remember that the airlines, all of them almost went bankrupt.

Let’s put Fauci in prison and throw the key away, the sooner the better.

Error, Error

Posted in Christian values by

I heard a preacher, don’t know his denomination. Makes no difference. Just happened that I landed on the channel for a few seconds. What he said made me think. Hopefully, it will cause others to think. Basically, he said we should not do good for reward.

Now, you know. That just sounds right. To be sure that doing good without expecting reward is admirable. I have often considered the impossible. For once I would like to surprise the Lord and do something good that he doesn’t expect. You and I both know that’s not going to happen, though I’d suspect that He would like it if we try. And He would especially like it if we expected little or nothing in return.

However, it is an error. When we do that which is good, it is what we are expected to do anyway. I mean, what good can we do that He doesn’t already tell us to do? What good can we do that is outside of His instructions.

So I thought on it and realized what the preacher said was in error. Salvation itself is a reward for faith. Abraham was rewarded for his faith and for demonstrating his faith. Soloman was rewarded for asking for wisdom, not power, fame or riches. God rewarded him with power, fame and riches. In at least one place, I can’t think of the passage, but we are admonished to seek first the kingdom of God. In this it is implied that we should expect reward in possibly this life or the next.

Over and over again, God told the Israelites to do as He told them, and they would be rewarded greatly, and they were. Certainly, He didn’t imply that they should do right just because it is right. God did offer the rewards. The first five books of the Bible are full of examples of God offering rewards for obedience. If it is wrong to expect rewards, it does produce a bit of irony. For, doing good for reward would be doing bad. Hence, as the preacher said, we should not seek reward.

On the other hand, if we do good simply because we love him and want to please him, that’s a pretty good thing too.

However, in all this, we should remember that without Christ Jesus, it is impossible for us to please God. That is true, reward or not. Our hope isn’t so much to impress Him but to be obedient and have faith. The two are just almost synonymous. Because of the faith we obey him. In doing so, we will please God, and we will be rewarded, whether we seek reward or not.

Certainly, also, we should be careful of what we expect for a reward. Fame and fortune can be as much of a curse as a blessing. Still, I wouldn’t mind a little more in my bank account. Never did care much for fame. If you see me at a party, you’ll likely find me in the corner where I won’t be noticed.

Not in My Lifetime

Posted in Being woke, Christian values, Deceit, Liberals, Pride, Religion by

Channel ten is the local station for PBS. I do watch it from time to time. They do have two or three good shows. Although here lately, it’s getting rarer. Then too, they like to preach to me about climate change. Not that it matters but I would suspect the folks that run that network generate a lot more carbon dioxide in an hour than I do in a month. I likely use less water and I certainly don’t take up nearly as much space in my little 900 square foot home. I really don’t think they have any right preaching their message at me. They are the ones who need to take their own advice.

Nonetheless, they like to ask me for contributions. That is not going to happen. Certainly not while they try to convince the world of that garbage. Now, here lately, they’ve gotten on that homosexual related binge, the one where they uses up almost all the letters in the alphabet. If I were to give one dime to any outfit that preached that stuff as normal, God would be completely justified in taking me off this planet immediately.

Why should I give anyway. Ignoring the homosexual thing, they don’t have any programming worth it. What they need to do is just simply go commercial. Then, if they were really smart, they would know better than to put stuff like that on TV. Look at what it did to Budweiser. People don’t like seeing things like that. It’s not just me. I’m not the only one complaining. Why do you think they are losing the public funding so fast? People do have objections and they don’t like their money squandered as they do. They ought to figure it out as I’m sure the contributions are dropping. I’m sure their audience is shrinking as well. If it continues, they will just simply disappear, they will simply fade away. It won’t hurt my feelings.

Why should I contribute one dime to any organization that hates God the way they do. I know they hate God because of what they say and because of what they do. If they liked God, even a little, they wouldn’t talk like that and they wouldn’t act like that. They are openly and actively rebelling against the Him.

As for me, I’ll have no part of it. Believe me, if the stations were to be dropped tomorrow, we wouldn’t miss it. Those shows that are good will find their way onto other platforms. If they don’t, they must not be that good.

If they really want my support, they will need to change what they say and what they do. My guess is, that is not going to happen, not in my lifetime.

The Object of Their Love

The following numbers I took off the internet. I simply queried the wealths and wrote them down. However, I would suspect that the numbers are at least close to accurate.

The Clintons have about 120 million. I suspect that of being a little low. To the best of my knowledge, they had very little employment outside of working for Uncle Sam. To be sure, she made some money in law. He made some as a speaker. They both made a ton or two off their so-called charity. It has become obvious that they both used the charity as a slush fund.

Obama and his wife have about 70 million. Not bad for being a community organizer. Me thinks he found another source somewhere. Regardless, he hasn’t done too bad for himself. I suspect he doesn’t do so much community organizing these days, but he sure messed up our medical system. He said he would save us money. Quite the opposite. Of course, all his doctor bills are paid for, he’s very much welcome.

Biden as VP was worth about 8 million. He was sort of slumming it compared to his compadres. However, it’s not bad considering he did it on senator’s pay. Don’t really know what he has now. Some reports say 9 million. Others say 158 million. If you’re curious, you are welcome to try and get something more accurate. Considering what he owns in real estate alone, I’d guess he has to have 30 or 40 million. It takes a lot to keep those homes in good shape, not to mention the cost utilities and gardening.

Then, of course there’s Hunter. While he is not a government employee, his father is. I would suspect his millions and his father’s millions are likely a little entangled. It just might be difficult to determine what belongs to the one and what belongs to the other. It does make his worth at 230 million a little suspicious.

Now. Is the above accurate? I don’t know. As they say, you can’t always believe what you see on the internet. However, I do believe one thing. They all seem to have a lot of love of money.

Now, let’s see. What is it that the Bible has to say about the love of money?

1 Tim. 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil. (king James)

As an aside, I’d like to repeat a quote from a post I made 3 or 4 years ago. I can’t quote it exactly, but you’ll get the point. No matter how good a government is, it won’t work if evil men are running it. Dr. J. Vernon McGee said that. And may I add, those running this government are just about as evil as you can get. They are right on the brink of destroying the government, the Constitution and the nation… I think intentionally and for their benefit. They do seem to have a real love of money… and they hunger for power.

What a Waste!

Posted in Abuse of Power, Forest Fires, Going Green by

If they had just harvested every 3rd tree in those Canadian forests, they could have turned a third of those trees into beautiful furniture, wonderful homes, maybe even a few baseball bats. Instead, they are nothing but ashes. They are good for nothing.

Instead of being turned into something useful, they have generated untold tons of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide (poison for us people. poison for the wild animals.

It’s what happens when a bunch of no nothing do-gooders try to run a country. It’s the obvious result when folks who know nothing about forests try to manage forests.

It’s so sad but clear, we have wasted a lot of board feet of wood and killed tons of trees, all for the sake of trying to save them. Who knows how many animals’ lives were lost, how many square miles of animal habitat have been lost in the name of what… well I really don’t know. I don’t think the do-gooders do either.

Then again, it only matters if it’s the bad Republicans that cause the damage. Do you really think the environmentalists care about any of it? I mean why should they. They answer to no one. Not so much as one Jounalists has brought it up in any way shape or form that I have seen. No reports have been made. No questions asked. They shrug their shoulders, walk away and say, “What a shame. It must be those horrid Republicans and their global warming again.”

I wonder how much global warming was caused by the burning of those poor defenseless trees and the green gasses they produced. I would suspect it was far more than the automobiles. Certainly, far more than lawn mowers or gas stoves.

Thanks Shelby County

Posted in Controllers, Elections, Food, Liberals, Politcal Opinion by

They just approved a 50 dollar wheel tax. That will encourage a few to move south, or north, or west. Of course, it won’t make my property value to increase but a penny or two, but every bit helps. Besides, it’s really long term anyway. We all know that the fifty will always increase, never decrease. Who knows what it will be in a few years.

When a person looks at that long term, they just might decide DeSoto County might be better than Shelby County to call home.

Well, there is always that traffic problem but that will be here anyway. The folks from Memphis are flocking to the better safer and more convenient DeSoto eating places. I know. I can tell. On any given Sunday, Southaven’s Golden Corral parking lot is about half full with Shelby County car tags.

It’s okay. Y’ll just keep coming. We appreciate the business and the tax revenues. My guess is that over a year, Mississippi will make gain more off the extra sales tax revenues than Shelby County will gain on their wheel tax. Oh. And by the way, we appreciate the government up north encouraging the migration south.

All or Nothing

If I say I will do a thing for you and then you help with it, can I really say I did something for you?

Of course not. I simply, to some degree, helped you. I cannot say that I totally did that thing for you.

If God does something for you and you say you helped, you lie, unless you really helped. No one can help in your salvation, which is absolutely impossible. You can neither save yourself nor can your help in your salvation. The sooner you face that, the closer you are to true salvation. God said that He will save you if you put your faith in Him. That means you acknowledge you need salvation and that means that you put your faith in Him, totally. This does not mean some faith in him and some faith in yourself. It does not work that way.

Worse, when you try to contribute to your salvation, you are doubting Him, saying that his work is not sufficient, that he needs help from you. Also, you are trying to say that you are good enough to help. That simply is not true.

It is an all or nothing proposition. You either put your total faith in Him or you have not any faith in him at all.

I find no place in the Bible that says as much, but it does seem a good way for God to deal with our pride. Those that go to heaven will not be able to brag about how they helped in their salvation. There will be no boasting, “I helped twenty percent” while another boasts I helped thirty percent. Those that go to heaven will all have to admit that they helped zero percent. If there is any bragging to do, it will be on our Lord Jesus Christ. It was upon his shoulders that all sin was placed. It was He who died and He who arose from the dead on the third day as prophesied. It was Him who took the scourging of the whips and It was Him Who died on the cross in our place. In no way did we help Him at any point along the way. And, in a thumbnail sketch, that is how we were saved.

Does anyone really want to boast that he or she helped. Did he hang on the cross with Jesus? Did he actually bear the penalty of his own sin? Did he die and then come back from the grave to live forever? Of course not. We none of us has anywhere near the power. That is why He did it for us. That is why we must put our faith in Him and not in ourselves.

Remember: faith plus works is not faith at all.

Believable? Really?

Rarely does a situation come up where you just know the federal government is lying. One such situation was the report on the Kennedy assassination. I don’t have any idea how many believe that one, but it can’t be many. Too many holes in it. Actually, too many obvious holes in it. Too much secrecy. To many efforts to cover things up.

However, I’d like to call a new one to your attention today, the so-called suicide of the former monster we knew as Jeffrey Epstein. Oddly they are trying to say he committed suicide.

Actually, in a roundabout way, I do believe them. I don’t know about you, but I have seen more than one movie where the disgraced man is handed a gun. Then, of course, he is expected to us it…on himself.

I guess such things happened. I don’t know for sure. Likely there were a few German generals that were treated like that. The implication of course, “Avoid the disgrace. Kill yourself and permit your family to live on without the dishonor.”

You might ask, would I suggest that a monster like Epstein commit suicide? Probably not. I really don’t think the man had honor. On the other hand, he did have friends and relatives. Just how important to they were to him, I don’t know. In killing himself, he just might have proved he did care about them.

I mean, it would have been very easy for one of the guards to deliver him a message. Then of course, they would all leave him alone long enough for the threat to work.

With all the famous rich people who have so much at stake, it is easy for me to believe that the threat was made. It is far easier to believe that than the far out story some government officials thought up.

The thing is, it matters not. Just as with Kennedy, they don’t really expect us to believe it. With all that is at stake, no one will ever disprove it. Those that have the courage lack the means. Those who have the means, lack the courage. We don’t really have to swallow the story, just pretend we do.

And so it is, one of the most unbelievable stories in history will stand for the duration. All those involved with the monster, those that took the trip out to his little island can rest easy. No one will ever disclose their secrets. (May I remind a few of you? Pres. Clinton was one of those who took his plane out to the island a time or three. I guess he managed to slip through another one, though it cost the life of his fiend of a friend.)

A Loaf of Bread

Posted in Uncategorized by

I had a loaf of bread. The loaf had 16 slices. Not one slice more. Not one slice less.

It wasn’t much. But it was my bread. Alas I have it no more. For it was taken from me, not all at once; but little by little.

I was glad I had my bread. It would be good for food, for nutrition, for sustenance.

Then one day, a man approached and said, give me four slices. I said, “But it’s my bread.”

To which he replied, “You have more than enough. When you give me four, you’ll still have twelve. Besides, if you don’t give it me, I will tell everyone far and wide that you are stingy. You will not share your loaf of bread though you have more than you need.

An hour later, the man returned and said to me, “Give me four slices.”

I enquired, “What happened to the four I gave to you but a while ago”

He replied, “What difference does it make. I have none and you have twelve. Just give me four or I will surely spread it far and wide that you do not believe in sharing.”

An hour later… well by now, you see the pattern. The man took all my bread. However, you know what? I found he squandered it all. He ate not one slice. He needed it not. He just wanted it because it was mine not his.

Now, sadly I have no bread.

One day, I had freedom and a man came by and said, “Give me but one little slice of your freedom. You have more than you need. You will not miss it. Besides, you inherited it. It was given to you by your ancestors. You worked not for it. Why should you have it.

Differing Points of View

Down through the history of the Republican and the Democrat parties, there have always been differing points of view. However, they both had the good of the country in mind. I don’t like the way President Kennedy did things. I really don’t like the way he managed his personal life, but he fought the communists’ countries fiercely and he always had the good of the nation in mind.

Today things are different. Not only do the parties have differing points of view, but the dems do not have well being of the country in mind. They hate the Constitution and are using its precepts to destroy it. Indeed, it is their desire to destroy the country and meld it into a single world government.

Worse yet, they are willing to ignore any law to accomplish it. They have no problem destroying the home of the brave so that they can install their nation of puppets. And yes, they stand accusing others of lying, while all the time telling their own whoppers. If they are caught in their lies and deceptions, then it’s back to their old ways, deny, deny, deny.

They continually demand compromises from the Republicans. Does anyone remember a dem was willing to give an inch. Invariably, in the end, there is no compromise with them. In the end, they win, and we lose. For if we keep compromising, we relinquish everything including our precious freedom.

Then, there will not be any more differing points of view. They will not be permitted. They won’t be allowed, even in thought. If you say something out of line, it won’t be the government after you. It will be your neighbors. It will be those who live across the street or across town. In the end, it will even be your friends in church, until, of course, there are no more churches.
