Sometimes, Plans Don’t Quite Work Even When They Are Good

President Trump had things going. The economy was well on the way to recovery. Oil was flowing so well the Saudis were getting scared. Putin couldn’t make any money selling oil cause the price was too low.

The dictator in Venezuela was having problems because he couldn’t sell his oil on the world market. In less than a year, Trump would have had the leadership of Iran giving up. They were going broke.

North Korea was almost a solved problem and China was for the first time in years, backing off. The wars against Ukraine and Israel would have never happened. Putin wouldn’t have the money to go to war. Iran wouldn’t have been able to arm Hamas.

It is no wonder the dems cheated to win the election. Trump was making them look pretty sad. Which, by the way, is the one reason Trumps plans failed. The dems were more than desperate and they stole the election.

Then, of course, on day one, they started destroying all that Trump did, on purpose. They couldn’t stand to let his legacy live on.

I know that they are saying it was the cleanest election ever. However, there is one bunch of folks that know that is a lie…the DEMS! It wouldn’t have worked but for one thing. The news media was more one sided than it ever, ever was. Effectively, they were providing huge campaign funding.

I Voted

Posted in Christian values, Elections by

Somehow, knowing the dems, I suspect it would be just as effective as bowing down and asking some wooden idle. Now, that would be dumb wouldn’t it?

I won’t tell you how I voted, but I suspect you can figure it out. I have my proof, a lapel sticker that says I voted. There isn’t much more I can do, but I sure get upset when I see all the outside money coming into the state. They don’t live here. They should have no say so in any way. The hitch is that I have no idea of any way to stop them, other than to plead, “Please don’t do that.”

I do know this, the last time we had a dem governor, things were really dim. In truth I hope we never find out if Presley is truly pro life. If he never becomes governor we will never find out, which will suit me just fine.

How About a Lift?

Posted in Christian values, Crime, FOC by

Just saw a news story on TV. Seems a man was trying to drive away in a car that wasn’t his. A fast thinking fork lift driver raised the car about 10 or 12 feet and kept him and the car up in the air until the police came along to put the would-be thief in custody.

As something of an afterthought, they added that the police were well aware of the man and he had stolen cars before.

Well, the story gave me an idea about an anti theft method for cars. It’s simple. 4 hydraulic jacks under the car. When you park the car, you press a button and the jacks raise the car about 4 feet. When you are ready, you push a button and car is lowered and you can drive off.

Of course I am sure there are a number of problems to resolve, both mechanical and safety. However, I am sure these can be resolved.

Now, just a minute. Did I say the police said they knew the thief, that he was well known for stealing cars.

Please correct me if I’m wrong. Don’t we imprison people who commit grand theft? Aren’t there laws about driving off in cars that belong to others?

Pardon me for asking, but if this car thief had been behind bars, just how is it that he would steal anything? If the guy stole cars before, why was it that wasn’t locked up?

Let’s lock up the criminals. That way, there would be less crime, don’t you think? I think we can thank the FOCs (Friends of Criminals), aka democrats for such as this little story.

The Easy Salvation

Posted in Christian values by

Daily Prompt:

What’s something you believe everyone should know.

Salvation is easy. All you need to do is accept Jesus as your Savior. It is the most important thing a person can know. It is the most important thing a person can do.

I was thirteen at the time. It was nearing the close of a church service at Western Avenue Baptist Church at Buena Park, California. I remember as if it were yesterday. Okay. That’s a stretch. Let’s just say last week ago.

I decided to step out into the isle during the invitation. I decided to accept Jesus as my Savior and make a public confession of it. I knew it would be easy. All I had to do was step out there and walk to the front of the church.

All of a sudden, it felt like my feet were in concrete. I found them very difficult to move. I mean, this was something everyone was going to see me do. Then there was the question. What was I going to tell the preacher when I got up front. I was sure he would expect me to say something.

Finally, in my mind, I said, “Well, here I go, no matter what anyone thinks or does.” I put one foot out and oddly the other just seemed to follow automatically. It was that first step that I found so hard to take. The rest were easy.

In that moment of time, I knew, the Holy Spirit sealed my soul forever. No matter what happened from that time forward, I belonged to God.

It was so easy, but yet it was so hard. The fact is that Jesus did the hard part. He died for me. He spilled His blood for that moment, so that I would never have to experience the second death.

What I should tell everyone, is that it is their option too. They can accept Jesus as their savior as I did. Don’t try to add anything to it. It is impossible. Only Jesus has the power to save. Only Jesus has the authority to save. If you try to rely on anything or anyone else, it won’t work. It displays a false hope, a false faith in that other person or thing. You must put your faith and hope only on Jesus.

The instant you do, the Holy Spirit will seal you and you will be forever God’s child. No one, no thing will ever be able to take you away.

His promise is eternal life. If it can be taken from you, then it is not eternal. If it can be taken, then it is only until it is taken. Conceivably, it could be just 5 or 10 minutes. That cannot be defined as eternal. His promise is eternal and irreversible.

Faith & Credit

Posted in Christian values, Communist Takover, Controllers, Deceit, Politcal Opinion by

For years, I wondered why the dems don’t care about how far we go in debt. Then, just today, I think I might have figured it out. It just might be that they don’t care how far we go into debt.

Now that just might sound like double talk and I suppose that it is in a sense. However, think about it a minute. What if they never plan to honor it.

But they have to. It is part of our faith & credit. If we don’t honor it, our credit will be ruined. However, they can announce to the world that it’s the USA’s credit. You see, we will no longer be the USA, so we don’t need to honor that debt. Good luck on collecting from the former United States of America.

Hence, they will not have to pay back 1 dollar, not 1 penny. I wonder if the Chinese have considered that possibility. Then, on the other hand, if China incorporates the former US into China, it won’t much matter, will it? (Considering China owns most of our debt)

I’d Settle for One

Prompt for 3 wishes

This one is tough. That is to say, I know what I would like but I don’t think any genie, even in fantasy could grant my wish.

Maybe I should back up a line or two in my explanation. Let’s look at Salomon, the king who had the wisdom to ask for wisdom. I can’t really disagree with his request, but if I were asked by God what I want, I would not hesitate, I would like to be able to heal people.

It is a vein request to be sure in that I know it would never be granted. I really know better. However, I would give up every worldly possession to be able to bring healing to the child with cystic fibrosis. I saw two of my brothers die from cancer. I certainly wish I could have done something about that. Then there are those with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

There are two hitches to the request. First, and most important, God is not genie. I fear I might even be a little disrespectful in making the comparison. Secondly, I already asked, a bunch of times. I don’t think He is willing to grant this request.

However, the prompt was there. I figured I might as well be honest about it, in a round about way. I can kind of see why. In a matter of days, can you imagine the line that would form at my front door? I’d guess there would be a number of reporters there, besides those who wanted to be healed.

As a side note: Some might have noticed I had to insert the prompt into the post the last few times. In the past, it was automatically inserted. Just figured I’d explain if anyone was wondering.

Out of State Prospecting

Posted in Christian values, Deceit, Elections, FOC, Mississippi State Govenor, Politcal Opinion by

Just got a circular today encouraging me to vote for Brandon Presley for governor of Mississippi. Disregarding the content, the circular demonstrated one of my pet peeves in the world of politics. The mail was postmarked Little Rock, Arkansas.

Now, my question is, just why is someone in Arkansas trying to tell me how to vote in Mississippi.

Granted, it just might be a quirk. I mean Presley might not even know about the mailer or the organization that mailed it. Then again, that sort of falls in the area of plausible deniability. Moreover, if asked directly, he might deny the mailer. However, I am sure he would not deny the message.

Strange how that works. He gets the benefits without the liability.

Finally, I have a difficult time believing any of the literature. The dems do have a habit of twisting the truth. If Presley is truly the honest upstanding candidate he claims to be, why oh why would he ever want to be associated with a party that lies, steals and permits so much killing?

Religious Liberty

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values by

When this country was founded, right in the first amendment, we find one of the cornerstones of our freedom, freedom of religion. Some might find this odd, but Christian laws were made and enforced on day one. Many states required a man to be Christian to hold major political office.

Over the years, decades even, this has been changed. Indeed, it is getting more and more difficult for a Christian person to hold any major office. Worse yet, there are those who call themselves Christian who aren’t. In a way, they seek both the religious and non-religious vote at the same time. I have seen men claim that they are Christian while standing for many things that are obviously aren’t.

Then too, one would expect a Christian to be at least reasonably honest. I guess that is why many men who are Christians left the dems. More and more they are expected to lie and toe the line of the democrats.

Old Joe claims to be Catholic. Right now, he is not in good standing with the Catholic Church. More than that, I have never heard the man really proclaim to be Christian. Indeed, it is truly possible to be Catholic and not Christian. At first this might seem like a radical idea, but stop and think of all that the Catholics have done and taught over the millenniums. To be sure, even their leaders killed, tortured, robbed and deceived in the name of Catholicism.

At this point, it would appear, even the Catholics want to disown him, or at least most of them. Of course Old Joe and most of his cohorts, certainly Obama, have all come down strongly for freedom of religion, as long as it isn’t Christian.

Do you suppose this might say something about them? Maybe, just a little. Just maybe they like it when people can practice their religion freely, as long as they don’t practice Christianity.

Men Love Darkness

Posted in Christian values by

People are forever asking why God permits this or why He permits that. I don’t pretend to understand it all but some of it is obvious. As the title says, men prefer darkness. Darkness has many advantages for those who wish to do wrong. Mostly, it helps to hide their deeds. But more than that, darkness represents the evil itself. And when people are given the choice between light (good) and dark (evil) they prefer the dark (evil)

Now, let’s look at the entire verse that the phrase came from and maybe you will understand.

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

However, though it doesn’t say as much, I perceive that it is collective. When all men prefer the dark, then there is nothing but evil. This country has just about totally turned it’s back on God (the source of all light) and has chosen to do evil.

When we are young, more often than not we are afraid of the dark. We are afraid of what might be hiding in it. As we get older, we have a tendency to prefer the dark, as it is easier to hide that which we do. And so it is, as humans, we prefer the dark rather than the light. We certainly don’t want the world to see what we are doing.

Thieves and murderers love the dark. It is why I keep my porch light lit, as most do. It is why many have the motion detectors that turn on bright lights when they detect something moving in your front yard. The darkness helps to hide the evil men do and so men prefer darkness, which according to the verse is the condemnation of men. And choosing darkness (evil) is certainly one reason why evil is in this world.

The two seem inseparable. Evil follows darkness and darkness follows evil. Only the Light of God can break the chain.

I wish I could say this all better, bring it to light, so to speak. It would be better for you to read it rather than what I write about it. Better yet, if you never read another word of the Bible, read the first three chapters of John. It won’t take long and, if you pay close attention, you will learn a lot.

The Pattern

Posted in Christian values, Crime, FOC, gun control, law enforcement by

Wait for it. Watch for it. It won’t be long and it won’t be difficult to see.

First, there will be the requests for prayer, which is a sad joke. 80% of those asking for prayer don’t believe in it. The remainder will be the ones who would not spend a minute on their knees, not until after a disaster. Few and far between are those who earnestly prayed before the event. Those who gave thanks for what we have and those who prayed for peace.

Let me see a show of hands, how many, earnestly spent 10 minutes on their knees in the last year speaking to the Lord. That’s as I thought. Not many. Now, now, after the fact, you you go to God and you ask others to do the same… knowing that it will do far less good than the prayer would have done before.

Second, the anti-gun groups will be out in numbers. In truth, they could care less about the lives that were lost. All they are really after is the excuse to call for gun legislation. The believe in magic. Make the laws and everyone will stop shooting each other. May I remind folks, murder is against the law and I have yet to see one recent day go by when someone in the city of Memphis has not tried to kill someone. And it is as bad or nearly so throughout the country that ignores God.

I consider this a little more than odd when I look back over the last year or two and see all the crime committed by gun, and those that did it are wondering the streets today…likely with an illegal gun. If they really want to reduce crime, the first thing to do is put the criminals in prison.

The second thing to do is address the problem of broken homes and one parent families.

The third, and the most important, stop ignoring God. He can fix the problems. He knows how. However, if you ignore Him, why should He fix them? If you turn your back on God, why is it that He should do anything for you? If you refuse to admit His existence, for what purpose should he provide you any assistance.

Pain and sorrow follow those who do not follow God and His guidance.
