Words

Some folks just don’t want to use the right words. My first thought was that they don’t know better but that can’t possibly be. I hear people, most of whom must have college degrees using, abusing and misusing words. I think it is intentional. I think they abuse words in hopes of deception.

Let’s start with migrate. Birds migrare. Heards migrate. Sometimes even people migrate to follow the harvests. The folks coming north of or border, by legal definition are illegal immigrants. That is the way it is spelled out in the code. If you use any other terminology, you’re wrong, either by ignorance or intentionally.

So. Which is it. If you use the wrong words, is it stupidity or deception?

By the way, lest anyone get the wrong idea, illegal immigrants actually does mean illegal. Maybe the first step in dealing with the problem is to use the right words.

Not Legal…

There are people among us who are not loyal to our nation, our people or our Constitution. Given the chance, they will kill terrorize and they will attempt to turn our nation into the land the left behind.

It is why I have written that before a person is permitted to become a citizen, he should be required to renounce his former citizenship and his country. Since I wrote that, I suggest 2 more things. First, that they pledge that they have have no plans to use violence or subversion to attack or destroy the US or the Constitution. 2nd, this should all take place before the oath of citizenship.

Moreover, it should be retroactive in that those not willing to renounce their former country should lose their American citizenship, possibly being deported.

It is not legal. It is a political disaster. However, without a doubt, it is the right thing to do. The problem is that I believe we have reached the point of no return. It will take a miracle to reverse the situation.

Right now, such a miracle is the last thing that Old Joe and his friends want right now. It would stand in the way of gaining total control. On the other hand, if things get a little out of hand, as they have in the past, that might cause him to lose control as well. It is even quite plausible, we might all lose as a result.

Judging Character

The question is am I a good judge of character?

Maybe I can answer it this way. I suspect I have been wrong more often than right.

Still, it won’t take me long to get it right. You can always tell about folks when they get angry. That is when they drop all their pretenses.

Think about how often do you reveal who you are through loss of temper.

If you want to know my true colors, just mention Obama care or Planned Parenthood.

Are you a good judge of character?

The Tragedy of Ignorance

It is a great tragedy today. The vast number of people who will never go to heaven will be because of ignorance. How very much I would like to change that.

However, most dig in their heels and refuse to listen, not just me, but anyone. It is so to speak, tragedy on tragedy. No need to believe me. No need to listen to any preacher. It is in the Bible and it is clear.

The best preachers simply point out the passages and provide some explanation. If you don’t want to believe me or a preacher, if you really want to know the plan of salvation, Read Romans. It won’t take that long. Read John 3:16-17. Many have called this the good news in compacted form.

Unfortunately, many refuse to believe it is that simple, in essence, making it complex to those who don’t want to believe. Read I Corinthians 1:23. The Bible says there that to the unbeliever, Jesus’ death on the cross is foolishness. To the Jews it is contrary to their religious traditions and beliefs. However, for those who understand and believe, it provides the power for mankind to become the children of God. And therefore, residents of Heaven.

Please don’t believe me. Men can, will and have deceived. The word of God is true.

The Power of the Truth

It is only after a person knows the truth that he can see through the lies. It is the reason we need to make sure that our children get a good honest education. It is the reason we must read the Bible regularly and learn what God says.

Without knowing the truth a person is susceptible to deceit, lies and fraud. Consider, just how many con men would prefer that you know the truth before using his trickery to relieve you of your fortune.

It is why the dems prefer that your education be poor and that they mock Christianity. After all, how else are you going to believe the lies?

Clearly, Self Destruction

The dems are doing all they can to destroy families.

The dems are doing all they can to allow anyone and everyone into the country by whatever means they will. They do this while totally ignoring all immigration laws.

The dems are doing all they can to destroy the effectiveness of any and all law enforcement, local, state and federal.

The dems are doing all they can to punish everyone and anyone who tries to protect the people the country or our sovereignty.

Yup. That’s it. They are trying to destroy the nation and all it stands for.

A Joke and a Thought

In recent rerun of Bones, they had a joke in which a man is asked if he knows what the penalty is for perjury. The man replied a whole lot less than murder.

It prompted a memory. Purhaps, it fit a real possibly situation. The question, why did Mrs Clinton commit the crime of destroying all the emails (also known as evidence). The reason is obvious. The penalty for destroying evidence is far less than for the crimes she was hiding.

It seems her calculation was right, especially in light of the fact that she got away with it. She never spent one day or night behind bars. Moreover, it taught the dems a lesson and they have been hiding and destroying evidence ever since.

Street Sweeper

I have been told by some that, when we get to heaven, we will be given jobs, tasks for us to do.

I don’t really know. It sounds logical. Before retiring, I was a computer operator. Before that, I repaired them. I don’t think my skills as a computer operator will be in much demand there. Certainly not as a repair man for anything. Can’t imagine anything breaking there.

Then my mind turned to lawyers. You know, a place without lawyers, in itself, would make something of a paradise. Regardless, for those lawyers that make it through the golden gates, I can’t imagine anyone there needing the services of a barrister.

There will be no death or illness. No need for doctors, dentist, psychologists. I am especially glad concerning the third. It means I’ll not have spell it.

Then, how’s this for a little irony? No need for evangelists. Everyone there will have been evangelised. Everyone there will have been saved. I have much respect for Billy Graham, and I am sure he is even now enjoying great rewards. But still, I am sure he was assigned a task other than preaching.

That does sort of takes it back to me. I figure I will sweep those streets of gold. My reward will not be great. It’s okay. I will be happy to do it. After a few million years, I wilI have but begun to show my appreciation for what he has done for me.

Still, I do enjoy playing around with computers. I wonder if I will be permitted one just with which to tinker, though it would serve no practical purpose.

The most important thing right now is getting there. Those who don’t accept Jesus Christ as their savior just might be surprised one day that all they did was not enough for God. Some will be surprised that there is a God. Some will be disappointed to find out that they will not be coming back as something else. Then there will be surprised that they will not be issued wings and commissioned into the army of angels.

It is not a good time to find out the truth.

It’s an Imperfect World

On the 6th day God looked at all He made and saw that it was good. Then, apparently not long after, Satan tempted Eve; Eve tempted Adam; Adam sinned, and it all changed. We, all of us have become astranged with God. God has begun working this out at the cross. However, the world is still far from perfect.

Satan is still the prince of the air. He is still going about the earth as a roaring lion, devouring those that he can. Pain, agony, death is still among us. Indeed, even within the best Christian person, evil thoughts linger. With prayer, we have to fight such things off daily, even by the hour.

If not for the grace of God, it would be far worse. If he simply took his hand away, this earth would become far worse, not only for mankind, but also for every living thing.

The liberals speak of man as destoying this planet, by polution, by destroying forests, by ruining the rivers, lakes and seas. In a way, it’s true. In a way, it is even Biblical. Everywhere man goes, he leaves his mark. It is undeniable. And so it will be until Jesus returns.

Ultimately, God will destroy it because of the evil of man. Then, He will build another, without sin, without evil. Best of all, there will be no death and the pain it envokes.

Until that time, sorry. The death and pain and the sorrow will linger. The tears will remain. It is the result of evil.

Ironically, some have suggested that the solution is more evil. Some even suggest we should kill, of all, the most innocent before they breath their first. Some suggest an evil form of government that denys the very presence of the vary one who can save it. Some individuals have claimed they have the answers, while all the time taking every dime you have. For sure, participating in the worst kind of evil.

Many survivorlists think the answer is isolation and preparation. I have news for them. Being human, the pain will follow. There is no running from it. Satan will follow, all the time, nipping at your hills.

I don’t pretend to have all the solutions. I don’t. I do know one thing. Adopting communism won’t work. It denys God. It will turn the bad to disaster. Not only is it historic, it’s prophetic. It is the path that leads to pain, suffering, and, eventually, death.

Difficult as it is to Believe

Harvard and Yale have their early roots in Christianity. Just goes to show what can happen when you permit Satan to take control little bits at a time.

I suspect many of the universities have Christian origins. You will find little trace of it today. Government influences have seen to it that residuals have been removed, oddly using the 1st amendment. Christian colleges cannot accept federal funds, including for research.
