Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Subject: H. R. 4646 you must read Bill to pass nlt Dec 23, 2010




just Google "HR 4646" ~ you can confirm and it is no exaggeration.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





H. R. 4646 I have gone into THOMAS (Library of Congress) and printed out and read all 15 pages of this bill which has been given the "Short Title" of "Debt Free America Act." It is the most socialistic thing I have ever read. Just think, if you deposit $5,000.00 into your checking account or savings account the bank has to take out 1% or $50.00 of that money and send it to Washington . Then, any checks or cash you take out of your bank they will deduct 1% from what is still in the bank and send it to Washington . Total put in the Bank $5,000.00. $100.00 of that you give to Washington .

This bill, spells it out that everyone will pay the Government 1% of their gross income. Page 9 states the House and Senate shall convene not later than November 23, 2010 and Page 11 states the vote on passage shall occur not later than December 23, 2010.



SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO CONTACT THEIR CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR AND TELL THEM

TO VOTE NO ON THIS BILL.

If you don't know who your Congressman or Senator is, go to Google, type in "(your state) Congressman email address". When it comes up, click on "Complete E-mail address for Congress/House,

Senate, Governors and get both e-mail and FAX info.

The bill is HR-4646 introduced by US Rep Peter DeFazio D-Oregon and US Senator Tom Harkin D-Iowa. It is now in committee and will probably not be brought out until after the Nov. elections. Suggest that you pass this along and also to your state senator and representative and US congressman and Senators.

One percent transaction tax is proposed President Obama's finance team is recommending a transaction tax. His plan is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar. This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution i. e. Banks, Credit Unions, etc.. Any deposit you make, or move around within your account, i. e. transfer to, will have a 1% tax charged. If your pay check or your social Security or whatever is direct deposit, 1% tax charged. If you hand carry a check in to deposit, 1% tax charged, If you take cash in to deposit, 1% tax charged. This is from the man who promised that if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn. Some will say aw it's just 1%... remember once the tax is there they can raise it at will.

Rep. Chaka Fattah [D-PA2] is the sponsor



2/23/2010--Introduced.

Debt Free America Act - States as purposes of this Act the raising of sufficient revenue from a fee on transactions to eliminate the national debt within seven years and the phasing out of the individual income tax. Amends the Internal Revenue Code to impose a 1% fee, offset by a corresponding non-refundable income tax credit, on transactions that use a payment instrument, including any check, cash, credit card, transfer of stock, bonds, or other financial instrument. Defines "transaction" to include retail and wholesale sales, purchases of intermediate goods, and financial and intangible transactions. Establishes in the legislative branch the Bipartisan Task Force for Responsible Fiscal Action to review the fiscal imbalance of the federal government and make recommendations to improve such imbalance. Provides for expedited consideration by Congress of Task Force recommendations. Repeals after 2017 the individual income tax, refundable and nonrefundable personal tax credits, and the alternative minimum tax (AMT) on individuals. Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to: (1) prioritize the repayment of the national debt to protect the fiscal stability of the United States ; and (2) study and report to Congress on the implementation of this Act.

About those 'rescued' Chilean miners... Thanks friend, Judi Cole for email

Subject: Christian Alliance Devotional-have you noticed the miners' t-shirts?









--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





















This was the huge photograph on the front page of today’s edition of The Telegraph, showing rescued miner Mario Sepulveda. As I glanced at it, something looked very familiar... not just the word “Jesus” on the sleeve of his t-shirt but the font. Upon looking closer I saw all the words “The Jesus Film Project”.







It seems the national ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ in Chile provided each of the miners with a pale yellow t-shirt to wear for their appearance on the surface. And that wasn’t all. In the early days of the rescue drilling, 33 MP3 players were sent down to the miners, containing the audio version of the JESUS film and an ample portion of the Bible.







One of the miners, Jose Samuel, sent a letter up the Dove (long, narrow metal canister that shuttled supplies and correspondence) to the CCC national director. Here is a portion of his words:











"I want to express my appreciation for this great blessing for me and my co-workers, it will be very good for our edification" (He is talking about the MP3's of the Bible & Jesus film)

"I am well because Christ lives in me"

"We have prayer services at 12 a.m. and 6 p.m."

"I ask all of you for pray not only for us here, but for all the lost people in the world"

This has been a remarkable story with God getting much more than an occasional mention! Three of those miners were evangelical Christians and I’m sure many others were God-fearers and may well have given their lives to Christ during their ordeal through the witness of these three brothers in Christ.







Back to the t-shirts... Printed on the front was the Chilean national flag and the words Thank you Lord in English and Spanish. On the other sleeve was the CCC Int’l logo and the name of our ministry in Chile. (Here is a picture of the oldest miner, Mario Gomez, praying upon his exit from the capsule.)







Our national director has asked us to pray for the salvation of all the miners, that they might acknowledge the one who has rescued them from sin and judgment, even as they continue to be so thankful for their deliverance from certain physical death.







It is such a privilege for Donna and me to serve alongside our 25,000 missionary colleagues – creative people like our national director in Chile who found a way to bring the JESUS film and the Bible to the ears of the trapped miners. Share this email with friends to encourage them with the fact God is able to get his Good News anywhere on earth and under it, as well!







I’ll conclude with the Bible verse Jose Samuel sent up the tube during his ordeal underground:



"In his hand are the depths of the earth, and mountain peaks belong to him." (Psalm 95:4)

Thanks Judi!.





Value in emails from friends? Yes!



I needed this powerful message in my life right now. I haven't faced the horrible death these miners might well have suffered without the ingenuity, faithfulness and prayers of all who earnestly gave their best to rescue them through the 'dove' and the eventual safety tunnel.





A close friend told me recently that I used to be a wonderful man, but I have recently, in my old age, became a grouch. That friend also said that perhaps she has become a bitch in her old age. That struck me right in the psyche (as a kick in the groin might have). I have considered myself a Christian Conservative and that is what I want to portray with my life and in my blog.




I anticipated a weekend of gratefulness as I toured the construction to replace the World Trade Center in NYC Friday. My day in the city was not all enjoyable, except for a new friend and a bona fide New Yorker just made in recent years, Jim Agostine. He took me on a walking tour through the area. I earnestly prayed for our world's people, as I looked over the scenes. Otherwise the walk later down Broadway, past Wall Street's Bull, to the Staten Island Fairy with my long lasting planar faciatis in my left foot; the windy cold ride over and back from Staten Island; and getting utterly lost on the NYC subway system drained much of my anticipated joy. This soon to be 78 year old man was very exhausted. I found a seat in the basement floor of Rockefeller and watched ice skaters out the large windows while in a frustrated state of mind. The Fun Bus back home picked us up at the Center a few hours later.



Some 'tough looking, jive talking" black subway dwellers showed me some mercy and a black lady of around fifty took me across the street to a different subway and sent me on my way to a seven stop ride to Rockefeller Center in Manhattan from the Brooklyn suburb I had found myself in. I weakly thanked them and gave the young lady a dollar, she reluctantly took. I had been through twenty or more stops in my confusion, but I was also grateful for the $8.25 day pass I bought from our Fun Bus tour guide Rebecca, which allowed me to exit and enter the subway so many times.



I, as all Christians do, want to portray Christ in my life. I fervently believe that Jesus would have not become a grouch if he had spent more than his 33 years on earth. His stories gave us only one instance of anger as he chased the money changers from the Temple grounds. He was a consistently wise and gentle human being who happened to be Son of our Holy Father and who genuinely showed His wonderful love to all people.




I thank all of the miners and their faithfulness and the faithfulness of those who moved to achieving their physical and spiritual salvation. Would that all people of different faiths could appreciate the miners' story at this time. Christian- 'like Christ'? I wonder about me but I want to be more like Him.



Thanks again, friend.


Sam
