Judgement?

Posted in Christian values by

Don’t know. I’m not a prophet. Still, California has been getting more than their share of disasters lately. Let’s see. They have had drought, floods, snow storms. As a result, mud slides, possible tornados and perhaps something I left out.

Moreover, it would seem most of bad weather is centered in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Both are centers for sinful practices.

It is easy to sluff it off on coincidence or, maybe climate change. However, maybe we can take a look back in history to a man who was a prophet, Jeremiah. He made predictions of judgements and it was sluffed off as coincidence. Because they did not heed the warnings and turn to God, they were taken captive by Babylon and the Temple was destroyed.

Who am I to say if the one thing has anything to do with the other. However, we do know 2 things for sure. California is very rebeious toward God and they are suffering continuously worse ‘natural’ disasters; the worst I have ever seen there.

Caution: You might start expecting more earth quakes next. More coicidences?

A Side Effect of Pride

Posted in Christian values, Crazy Nuts, Pride, Religion, Salvation by

1st, let me speak of the well known. Of all sin, pride is one that angers God most. I can easily reason why. It does frequently stand in the way of a man’s salvation. The man that believes himself good, also believes that he has no need of salvation.

Ludacris as this sounds, it is a common stance by many. How many times have you heard, I am far better than most. Why shouldn’t I be allowed into heaven.

I suppose, this means anyone better than Hitler will have to be permitted in.

Another problem with pride is that it causes us to have a distorted view of things. It causes one race to think of themselves as being superior to another. I am xyz, so WE are better than them. WE always will be and God has said so. Some think that was how Hitler thought, this even though he consiered himself superior to God’s chosen people, this even though he was half Jew. ( That’s crazy nuts) This is what happens when you let Satan use pride to twist your mind.

Then of course, there are the atheist who plant their feeble 2 feet and say to the world, there is no God. It is the ultimate pride. He believes that, poof, the whole Universe just exploded out of thin air.

Oops. That would be impossible, right. there was no air, thin or otherwise.

To get to my point, finally. Jesus, while walking this planet was born a Jew. That is to say, He very probably appeared to be Jewish. His hair was likely dark brown black or even red, unlike painted by the Europeans. His skin might have had an olive overtone or maybe pale. I will be the first to admit, I don’t know. He was a decendant of David, who was pale and red headed.

On the other hand, the possibilities of His skin being black are very remote. I won’t plant my feet and defiantly say his skin was not dark, but I am just going by the hints in the Bible.

I know there are those who prefer to buy manger scenes with black characters. The only thing I add. Be careful that you don’t turn the figureines into idols. The is the first step in idolotry is pride.

HOW MANY?

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

1 death in KC, MO. Several injured. Bad. Horrible.

Now-w-w, let’s see. 397 homicides in Memphis yr 2023, 100 more than yr 2022. Another record like this year.

I feel very bad for the one killed in KC, MO. However, you will pardon me if I’m neither shocked nor surprised. It seems every time there is a large gathering, someone dies. Moreover, it is getting difficult to feel bad for the deaths when they occur at a rate of over one a day.

Maybe, it is a good time to do someting besides talk about it, and I do mean something besides gun control. Believe it or not, people are killed by other things. Murders took place long before guns.

A good thing to remember, murders usually begin inside the mind of the culprit, freqently hours or days in advance.

A Free Hint

Five dead from shootings in Memphis over in Memphis, that is if I have heard the news right.

It seems those in authority, stand around pointing fingers and asking, “What should we do?”

Hint: what they are doing hasn’t had a lot of success.

Clue: they might try what has worked for close to a hundred years. You know, putting high priority on God and family. You know, locking up the bad guys. Perhaps, letting the police, police. How novel that would be.

Then again, what is the point. I may as well be talking to a wall.

Well, there is one advantage for those of us south of the state line. The value of my house value keeps skyrocketing. The hitch, occasionally, that crime does make it south. Good thing our officials know how to deal with it.

Perhaps that statement is not fair. I suspect very strongly those north of the state line know very well how to straiten it out quickly. However, knowing and doing is not always the same.

If it Doesn’t Matter…

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values, Communism, Deceit, Elections by

Had a wonderful book, “Murphy’s Law and….” I simply do not remember the rest of the title but it was essentially many closely related notable observations, like the strongest part of the paper is where the perforations are.

One of the sayings, was a 3 part thing that was a little long so I will only include the 3rd part… If it doesn’t matter, then it doen’t matter.

At first, as with me, it likely seems pointless and stupid. However, if you think about it, it really makes sense.

Consider Old Joe. You look around and you can see people are becoming aware of his mental problems. Some are considering a replacement.

As time passes, we are presented one trial baloon after the next as to just who might be able to replace him. This is where my little saying comes in. You see, to the dems, it doesn’t matter. They don’t care, as long as, whoever wins, they have totol control of him. It is the puppeteers who must ultimarely have control, regardless.

Now, on the other hand, if they can’t find someone to beat Trump, then guess what. It doesnt make a hill of beans wno they choose.

As I said. If it doesn’t matter, then it doesn’t matter… who they choose, does it?

Just Noticed

I might be wrong, but it seems they never have famous people speaking for AARP. Do you suppose that word has gotten out that AARP is now joined at the hip with the dems.

Well, just a thought. As I said, I might be horribly wrong. maybe some famous people would like the association and AARC are the ones who are rejecting the famous people.

To be sure, I don’t like AARP and never will. After all, why would any conservative want to do business with anyone tied at the hip with the dems. For that matter in any which way. I have not 1 reason for it and about 30 thousand reasons to have nothing to do with them and pass the word along.

Not Much

Posted in A Little About me, Christian values by

Me. I’m 76. My mother died at 50. My father 70. They both deserved to live much longer than me. Sure wish they had.

In answer to the other question, the one not asked, I was 5 when my mother died and a few years past 20 when my father died.

As an aside, my father was a carpeter and was working as he suffered his 3rd heart attack. My mother stayed home and watched us 8 kids. She made our clothes and used a wringer washer to wash them. She cooked 3 meals a day for us and washed the dishes.

As I said, they deserved longer lives than me. Actually, they deserved longer lives, period.

Gravity: Consistant & Reliable

Posted in Christian values, Communism, Israelites, Liberals, News media, Our Legal Systems, Religeon by

Drop something, it “falls,” all things. Moreover, the rate at which it falls is totally predictable. It is based on the mass, the air resistance & so on. You notice I put falls in quotes. That implies the direction it “falls” is always the same, down.

Down, of course is aways defined as toward the earth’s center. Never is it this way or that way. Always down. Perhaps for millenia, mankind have thought about that. In recent history, huge papers have been written on the subject since Issac Newton & Leonardo de Vinci. People have been studying it and we still still know little more than we did, maybe less.

Perhaps, the one thing that amazes me the most is the way it reaches out into the millions of light years and helps control the orbits of orbits.

The average person thinks the astronaut in orbit has escaped gravity, but not so. It just is that he has other has another force acting on him, inertia. Take the inertia away, that big space station will fall like a big piece of metal.

By the way, Inertia is an awfully reliable force too. Then again, there are many laws of science we only pretend to understand. Isn’t it amazing how God put it all together? He did it all without our help.

Then, oddly, there are those who say God doesn’t exist. It all just happened by accident. And all those laws of science just fell in place without anyone setting them in place.

Just what requires more faith, the presence of God, or that it all just happened. I’m putting my faith in God. The gravity that is caused by accident can fail at any time, by accident…as well as well the thousands of other laws we must trust daily. We must, like it or not.

ONE LAW?

I have a list of them. May I include a group of them, as in each legal voter would be allowed one vote and no one would be permitted to vote for anyone else.

The trick is that in order for that to happen, many laws would have to be changed, mainly in registering. Honest efforts would be needed to make sure that those laws and the old laws would need to be followed.

What i would really hope for is for folks to follow the ones we have. Instead we have an army of lawyers that help those who are dishonest find ways around the spirit of the law.

Then too, there are those who openly, intentionally ignore the laws we already have without penalty. This even to the point they make no attempt to hide it.

Indeed the law ignorer in chief sits in a chair, behind a big nice desk, in an oval office, in a big white house, on Pennsylvania Ave. sometimes. When he isn’t taking a nap.

Old Joe says he needs laws to control the border while he ignores the oodles of laws that are there. If he had more laws, he would ignore them too, that is, unless he could use them to lock up those that actually seek to properly enforce the laws we have.
