Life Begins At Conception

One of the most interesting and truthful anti-abortion placards I have ever seen was "Life begins at conception and ends at Planned Parenthood." Well......How many millions of abortions has Planned Parenthood helped facilitate? It is tragic. Yes, tragic. The ending of human life is tragic.

Abortion Is Grotesque

Abortion is grotesque. And I do not think anyone will ever convince me otherwise. All of the rhetoric, all of the sophistry, all of the euphemisms in the world will not convince me. Abortion is what it is. It is the termination of a developing human life. Not even the silver-tongued oratory of our president will convince me otherwise. This is a portion of a speech he made recently: "We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to protecting a woman's access to safe, affordable health care and her constitutional right to privacy, including the right to reproductive freedom." "Safe, affordable health care?" This is pure sophistry. Why don't you call it what it is? It is called killing babies. And it is wrong. Why don't you ask the developing child if he/she wants to live? What do you think his/her answer would be? What would our answer have been? Look where we are. They did not even have a chance. And there will be more. It is an atrocity. It is grotesque. Is it not the American Holocaust?

God's Greatest Gift

I am firmly convinced that the Bible is God's greatest gift to the human race. It is what makes us civil. It is what makes us greater than all of the animals. No literature has ever been so controversial, because no literature has brought so much good. "The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scripture ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the miseries and evil men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible." Noah Webster (1758-1843) American patriot and scholar, author of the first dictionary of American English usage (1806) and the author of the 1828 edition of the dictionary that bears his name. 1833

My Letter To Washington Post

This is a letter I wrote today to the Washington Post regarding the actions of Mark Herring, Attorney General of the State of Virginia, who recently chose to support same-sex marriage. "I do not have a 'religion.' I have faith in God and His eternal Word. My faith teaches me to not murder people. My faith teaches me not to steal, lie, commit adultery, fornicate or kidnap and/or beat people up My faith teaches me to be kind and respectful to others. My faith teaches me to not say unkind words to others and to not be a gossiper. My faith teaches me, and millions of others many good things. The Word of God has influenced legislation in this nation for centuries. The Word of God is perfect. Human beings are not. Nations are not. Governments are not. Bureaucrats are not. Politicians are not. This is why we need the Word of God. Attorney General Mark Herring is not being heroic. He is being deceived by people with an agenda that is contrary to the Word of God. To me, this is serious business. I am fully aware that we live under a government that is called a "republic." There is no "danger" of it ever becoming a theocracy. Those who visit Washington DC may wonder about that, considering all of the references to the Word of God on its monuments. This would truly be a long comment if I quoted all of the presidents in respect to the Bible. I will only quote two. "In this book (the Bible) will be found the solution of all the problems of the world." Calvin Coolidge, thirtieth President of the United States. Do certain political activists really think that most Americans will just ignore and/or do away with the moral guidelines of its founders and past leaders? What did George Washington say about it? "It is impossible to govern a nation without the Bible." I will end my words by saying this: Do away with the Bible......do away with freedom. If you do not think that it is happening already, take a look around. And please remember that governments are not the only 'freedom snatchers.'"

The Rainbow, Genesis 9:9-16

The one and only almighty God is holy. He is pure, perfect and totally flawless. He can do no wrong. He cannot lie. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. He is full of love, mercy and truth. The rainbow is a symbol of the covenant He has made with the human race, through His holy Word. When I see the rainbow, I am reminded that this is what it represents. To me, it represents no political movement or misdirected efforts for any particular social change. It is God's covenant. I realize that people or political interest groups are free to choose their symbols. This is what freedom is about. Freedom is also about believing the Word of God and its purposes. Here is Genesis 9:9-16. (The New American Standard Version) "9 Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you; 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. 11 I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; 13 I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, 15 and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

Kid Gavilan

He was a great boxer. Kid Gavilan started his boxing career in 1943, at age 17, in his native Cuba. By 1948, he decided to stay in the United States. By that time, he already had 26 wins. He defeated some of the best welterweights in the world, such as Ike Williams, Tommy Bell and Tony Pellone. He won the welterweight title in 1951. He finally retired in 1958. He had a career record of 106 wins.....27 by knockout. He had 30 losses and 6 draws. He fought his entire career without ever being knocked out or knocked down. In 1966 he was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. He passed away in 2003 at the age of 77. I had the privilege of watching him box when I was a kid.

The FFRF Scares The Chancellor

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) recently had its way at the University of Wisconsin Extension. It has coerced the UW Extension chancellor to remove all Gideon Bibles from their guest rooms. All Bibles were removed By December 1, 2013. How pathetic, and truly sad. Do you not see the correlation between taking away the Word of God and taking away freedom? What has been done does not represent freedom. If you do not want to read the Bible do not read it. If you do not want to buy and drink the booze in the hotel room don't do it. If you do not want to watch television, do not turn it on. If you do not want to use the phone don't use it. Now a resident does not have the freedom to say yes or no to reading the Bible. Is it not out of view when in the room? Is it obligatory to read it? Does it pose a danger inside the room? Those responsible for removing the Gideon Bibles are blind. They do not understand what they are doing. The main thing they are doing is taking away freedom. Incidently, "And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Freedom is being denied to those who are not allowed to say yes or no.
