Political Parties and Jesus

Posted in Uncategorized by

Just happened to be listening to Allen Jackson, the preacher, not the singer, though I do listen to the singer from time to time too. Though it was not his primary subject of his sermon, he did, in an aside speak to the claim that Jesus was never a member of a political party. However, He did speak to power and he did speak to the powerful.

Incidentally, if I were a multi-millionaire, I would never contribute a penny to either party. They have been far too weak on abortion and border matters. It would be my way of speaking to power. Republicans have come out weak on gambling. Indeed, in some cases, some republicans have fought for it. You can come out with you logic why why I am making my mistakes. If I give any money to anyone, it is to the individual and only to the individual that shares my beliefs.

Looking back over things, you might have a tendency go along with me. The Republican party selected a senator who was a thief and another man who was a wimp rino. It is no wonder they both lost.

Sometimes these preachers say more as an aside than they say as their main subject. I think this is one of those cases. Every time we vote, we speak to the powerful. Every time we send a note to representative, we are speaking to the powerful. And, of course, this is regardless of political party.

Moreover, God does caution us not to call good evil, or evil good. It is not idle advice but a warning. There are threats of punishments for that.

Given these two little factors, maybe it would be a good idea not to vote for a political party that is in favor of causing death, you know, like abortion. Like causing wars. Like causing rumors about viruses and virus treatments that resulted in large amounts of death and then denying it. Do you really think He would want any of us to be in favor of a party that doesn’t punish the lawless and looks the other way in mass theft and rioting.

If and when you voted for Old Joe, you spoke to power and you told them that killing is perfectly okay. The doctors that do it should be respected instead of put in prison. As a voter, you have said that we cannot use a gun for defense, but the lawless can use them to steal and and murder. You have told the powerful to stop locking up the lawless and be sure to arrest Trump and anyone who supports him. This though you know he never did anything to deserve it.

Before you vote for Kamala, just remember, in essence you are speaking to power and saying good is evil and evil is good. That is true, regardless of any party affiliation.

Jesus might not be a Republican, but he is pro life. He still is in favor of the truth. As dems speak their lies, they may and do deceive some people. They may and sometimes do deceive themselves. However, they never deceive Jesus. And it is true; He is neither Republican or Democrat. So pretending to be one or the other will not impress Him one bit. For Him, those that deceive are guilty no matter if he has an R or a D after his name.

It’s Nearing Halloween

That means it’s time to listen to listen to Bobby (Boris) Picket and his Monster Mash. It should be required listening, you know for all of us kids. That’s right. After all these years I still get a few laughs from it, though I can recite most the words from memory.

It is the neat part of the internet. I not only get to listen, I also get to watch quite a performance. Might I suggest you join me. Go ahead. Listen. have a little fun with it. Be a kid again for a few minutes. You also have my personal permission to laugh a little. Then, if you like, play it again.

Lizzo Wants the Rest of US to be As Detroit.

Posted in Uncategorized by

Pardon me, but no thanks. Aren’t there folks leaving that city? Didn’t anyone tell Lizzo? Well, I guess if you have enough money you can make the middle of the Sahara desert or the South pole look good. That doesn’t make me want the rest of the world to be as either one of those.

You know those mistakes, the ones you would like a redo. I suspect that Lizzo would like to recall her words and I very much imagine that Kamala wishes she hadn’t asked for her help. It seems her plans are falling apart at the seams. I don’t know. Perhaps I assume too much. I suspect it’s not her plans. She may not be capable of such a complex plot. It was more likely the plan of her puppeteers.

Real Choices

Posted in Uncategorized by

There isn’t a day goes by I don’t hear about the rights of women’s choices. To be sure, a person does need to be able to make choices that effect their lives. To be sure, people do make choices every day. Some are good. Some, not so good. Some inconsequential. The hitch, so many of our decisions are made without any idea how long term those decisions can be. We think that they will last for a while and then the consequences, good or bad, will last just a while.

Consider a person gets in a car and drives while under then influence. After a short time, they wake up in hospital room and the doctor tells you, you will never walk again… or see again. If you had planned on making a living using your eyes, you soon realize that isn’t going to happen.

Perhaps all you do is go swimming. You dive and then the only reason you’re still alive is because your friends came to your rescue. Then you get to try out all those experimental things, the robotic things that might allow you to walk again, but slowly. If that is successful, you’ll celebrate a ten foot walk across the room.

You might miss that off-ramp and you have to wait and get off at the next one. That one isn’t so bad. It cost, time, frustration, and, of course, fuel.

The thing is, of course, when a woman decides to go into a place to get an abortion, she should realize it is not as simple as she might think. She gets to make the decision but the baby gets no say in the matter. Of all people, the unborn is totally helpless. He can’t even cry out in pain. If the mother goes through with it, a child will suffer and then die. The child does not have a choice. What a horrible thing if the first choice you make concerning your child, is to kill it. What a horrible thing, you will never meet him or her. You will never see him take his first step or hear his first words.

Worst of all, choice might be made over nothing more than convenience, a means of birth control.

If you do make the choice to kill the baby, at least take a few precautions. What kind of clinic is it. What are the possibilities of infection. Will the doctor provide a follow-up exam? Every time I had a tooth pulled, the dentist had me back in the office a week later to make sure there were no complications. That’s right, complications are possible. Sometimes, odd as it might seem, the baby even might live. It has happened. On the other hand, the baby might have died but was not totally removed. This sort of thing is not common, but it does happen and the resulting infection can result in the death of the mother. A woman is rushed to the e-room with pain, temperature and infection, not realizing the source of the problem. Then, besides paying for the abortion, she has to dig deeper into that savings account to pay for the hospital visit.

Finally, one more caution. Before you make that choice, make sure it is one that you can live with. You will, you know. The rest of your life. Before you make that choice, you might check with a few who have made that choice. You might want to find out if they are having problems living with it. It is one of those permanent choices, you know. It has no backspace key. It has no undo function. Every morning for the rest of your life, you will be reminded. With some, I have heard, it never gets better. The memory only gets harder as you notice other women with children the same age as yours might have been.

You can, of course, just harden your heart. You can learn to live with it. However, is this something you want to force yourself to live with. Broken bones heal. I know. I have had a number of them. Contrary to the popular saying, time does not heal all wounds. Those emotional ones have a tendency to dig in and only grow worse over time.

An Odd Couple

Posted in Uncategorized by

As odd as it may seem, Old Joe and the Israeli Army teamed up for a very effective take-down team. Joe played his part very convincingly and made the public statement, as if a threat, to keep the army out of Raffa.

And so it was that one of the instigators of Oct. 7 felt safe when he took refuge there. Little did he know that all Old Joe did was to reduce the search area.

Actually, truth be told, it was unlikely Joe realized it either. I’m not so sure if Old Joe realizes now.

Sometimes, You & I Have Proof Positive That God is Real

Posted in Uncategorized by

I was sitting in my easy chair recovering from my procedure and almost asleep. I heard a knock on the door. My eyes popped open and instantly I said to myself, “Those are the men who God sent to mow my lawns. I don’t know why, I just knew. 3 minutes later, it was confirmed.

You know the neat part about that, those men likely needed the money even more than I needed someone to cut my yard. So you see, God does know how to provide. He helped me by helping them. That is slick.

However, when I saw the mail man go flying past my mail box without putting anything in it, I complained out loud. “Did you see that? Did you see that? He just drove right by my house without putting a thing in my mailbox.” I paused and added, “This is the day he was supposed to leave my million dollar check.”

Do you know what that that guy that cut my lawn had the nerve to do? He laughed right out loud. It was probably the best laugh he had all day. He should have known better than to do that. I was really counting on check. In a few days, I will start getting doctor bills that I will now have a difficult time paying.

Well, glad he feels better, even if it for moment.

Now, about all these bills.

Statistical?

Posted in Uncategorized by

It’s true. The race is in a statistical tie in all the contested states. As long as the margin of error is greater than the any lead, whichever side. However, I have noticed the media has a tendency to report it a slight lead when Kamala is ahead even one tenth of one percent. On the other hand, they report a statistical tie when Trump’s in the lead, even it is one tenth of one percent inside the margin of error. I wonder who got that idea. I don’t think it is by accident.

Who is Abandoning and Who is Being Abandoned?

Posted in Uncategorized by

I have been hearing rumors here and they do seem pretty substantial. Some have been saying that the Catholics are abandoning the democrats. Some have been saying that the democrats have been abandoning the Catholics.

I’ll let you y’all make up your own minds as to which is which. I don’t have the resources to say with any authority. Maybe you can tell me which one or maybe both. The thing is that everything I know about Catholics or dems I learned from books or second hand.

Well, I guess I did know one thing first hand. It did seem that whenever I found out someone was Catholic, they were invariably also dems. Logic tells me that much of that comes from origins. I mean, those who came from Italy, Spain, France or Ireland, it were most likely Catholic. Over time, It seemed a little odd, considering the teaching of the Catholic Church. If you look at all those in power in the “Organization,” they were also in good standings in Catholic Church. It seemed it mattered not what a Catholic did Monday through Saturday, as long as you attended church on Sunday and officially confessed your sins to the priests. I am sure it also helped to put a coin or two in the collection bucket too.

I suppose, I guess, I can only imagine as to why this is. It might be the concept that, well, everyone sins, regardless of how serious. On the other hand, if the Catholic church fought back, they might fear loss of followers. Then too, it might be those special followers, you know the ones with money. After all, didn’t the fella say, when you have problems understanding things, follow the money.

And so it was, since before the beginning of the 1900s, the Catholic population in this nation has grown, and not just a little. It’s not any kind of prejudice. It is a fact. Today, percentage wise, Catholics are a far greater part of the country. As the Catholics grew, so did the dems. I don’t know why. Just and observation. I don’t care why.

For decades and decades, the loyalty of the Catholic population was taken for granted. It reached a point where they are doing things that are completely contrary to the beliefs of “The Church,” as they like to say. It is as if The Church represents all Christianity.

At any rate, the dems are starting to step on the toes of Catholic believers and they are starting to put some pressure on their relationship. Consider the Little Sisters. Consider the requirement for Christian doctors and hospitals to participate in abortions. Well, not required yet, but the dems are putting the pressure on and the toes are being stepped on.

And so, regardless of the reasons, the Catholics are beginning to change their party affiliation. As near as I can tell, the Pope himself seems to be tied at the toe to the dems. However, if things keep going as they are, he will either have to change his affiliation with “The Church,” or the dems. If he prizes his beliefs, he, and the Catholics in general, will have to separate themselves with the dems. If he prizes his power, he will try to serve two masters. Those who have read the Bible know he can’t do that. The power he will wield will either come from God or the men. Never from both.

Already, Catholics are leaving the Democrats. Or is it that they simply recognized that the party left them? Will it happen that they will leave the the Pope. It happened before, you know. It is where the Church of England came from, AKA Episcopalism in the US.

Irregardless, as we in the South like to say when we are overemphasizing things, almost every Christian oriented church, as well as Arab beliefs, condemn abortion. It might seem that the dems have the down-hill fight. They just might want to pay a little more attention to what is going on behind them. If the Catholics leave the dems, we are talking about a loss of up to 33% of their party and it won’t much matter who abandoned whom.

Really makes me wish she were my Senator. I would describe it, but I would never be able to do it justice. Google New add:Blackburn:It’s time to….

I will give you a hint. I’ll be she had a whole lot of fun making the commercial and I had a lot of fun watching it.

Just made an attempt to copy to the URL of video. If I did it right, it will make it easier for you to watch it.
