My Response To GOP USA

We embrace the Word of God. We “endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ.” As Jesus said: We will “love our enemies, bless them that curse us, do good to them that hate us, and pray for them that despitefully use us and persecute us.” If we do it God’s way we cannot lose. “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal,” and we are “more than conquerers.” We have faith in God. We have His Word. We have the power of prayer. We cannot lose! Yes, sin abounds. “But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” This is serious business. And this is exactly why we need the “heavy artillery” of God’s methods for war. Do you have any idea how powerful our prayers are? “The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” Are we righteous then? No, but the righteousness of His Word in us is! His Holy Spirit in us is! We have this “treasure” in us, lets’ use it! And please remember: “The joy of the Lord is our strength!"

After Rick Perry's Interview

Rick Perry recently made some comments in San Francisco about same sex marriage. He is a conservative Republican. As a result, he was later interviewed by CNBC. Some say he looked bad, I say he handled himself well. I wrote a letter to a news outlet about it. Here it is. "Rick Perry handled the questions well. Do all interviews need to discuss same sex marriage? Are there other items of interest in the political arena? The media is attempting a "forced legitimacy" of same sex marriage. It may happen, but battles lie ahead. The issue has absolutely nothing to do with hatred or intolerance. It has to do with a group of people trying to force an opinion down the throats of those who do not agree with them. Does freedom have anything to do with the equation? The term "tyranny of the majority" is applicable to any side, depending on your point of view. Of course there are those who seek to annihilate an opposing point of view. This looks like war. A great general once said: "In any war, the first casualty is the truth." Another serious casualty is freedom. Please do not compare the civil rights movement with the same sex marriage political movement. It is a political ploy to do so. I am not required to agree with everything that goes on in society. Neither is anyone else. At least not in America."

Morality Lost

He lies to himself because the truth is too difficult to bear. He lies to himself because He has mistreated people.......including children. He lies to himself because he finds it necessary to justify himself for the lifestyle he has selected. He has failed to live up to expectations. He has failed to live up to his responsibilities. He likes money, but he does not like to work. He loves pleasure, but he refuses to be patient. He loves women but he does not know how to treat them. He is frustrated with his life, so he proceeds to blame others. He has a big mouth. He is a failure. He is unkind. He is selfish. He is extremely jealous of people who are successful. Pleasure is his therapy. It helps him to temporarily forget the realities of his life. On top of all of this he is poor and he is proud. Proud? Proud of what? Yes, he has done nothing to be proud of. In his case, that is the main reason to be proud. It is his defense mechanism. "I'm proud because I'm me," he said. Lying is a way of life with him. it has allowed him to get benefits from the government. He ought to be ashamed. Ashamed? He has no shame. "I want what I want, and I will do what I need to do to get it." Yes, everything but work and be responsible. The following is a quote from Dostoyevsky I agree with him. It sounds like he had the man I am talking about pegged. RD "A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying to others and to yourself." Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881)

Carnage In Las Vegas

It is possible to get along, if we try. Is there not a better way to deal with your personal problems than to kill two cops, a shopper, your husband then yourself? Why? Because "the revolution has started"? No. This is insanity and complete confusion. I am not an MD, psychologist or psychiatrist. I observe and report. Someone might ask: "Well, how much have you observed?" I have observed that 4 people have been murdered and one has committed suicide in a scenario that lasted several minutes. One of the two murderers murdered one of the murderers and then killed herself. Some may say : "Good, two Nazi losers are gone.....good riddance!" No! Five people are dead and some children are without their dads. "The thief has come to steal, kill and destroy." The "thief" will not win. He cannot win.

Eisenhower's Other Letter

Dwight D. Eisenhower was the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces during World War II. With a great deal of concern, care and caution, he organized the D Day invasion that took place on June 6th 1944. He wrote a letter that was designed to motivate the troops. But he also wrote another letter that was an explanation in case of failure. It was a short letter. But the end of it grabs my attention. He simply said: "In case of failure, I take full responsibility."
