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. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

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.

Here we go!!! Look out



MEDICARE PAY INCREASE



For those of you who are on Medicare, read the article below.

...It is about the monthly amount of money you are going to pay into Medicare in 2011, 2012 and the huge increase you will pay in 2013. It's a short important article: You will pay it.



Social Security

Congress will not allow an increase in the social security COLA (cost of living adjustment). However, the per person monthly Medicare insurance premium was increased from the 2009 premium of $96.40 to $104.20

In 2010, it was $120.20 for the year.

In 2011 You will be paying yearly increases to a wonderful $247.00 in 2014.

Thank You Obamacare!



Congress also gave themselves a $3,000 a month Cost of Living Adjustment!

They really need the money! -- You don't!



Send this to all seniors (and future seniors) that you know.



REMEMBER!

Tea Party reps-  Do your job and get rid of this monster!

Thanks Sarah Rapp! Beware of this book!

Beware of this book:  "Conversations with God"

I don't like censorship; however it was necessary during WWII to prevent troops from revealing their positions.  It is necessary today to keep ACLU types from brain washing our young!

This is scary



Beware of this book! Oprah is pushing it. It is scary that someone would be bold enough to write a book from God's point of view contrary to His Word. Please send to all with kids or grandkids.



cid:DB65B507061D43F496FBB2823045BADE@GarysOfficePCIf you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church, or you have neighborhood children whose parents you know, please take note of the information below and pass it along to others. Schools are distributing this book to children through the Scholastic Book Club.



The name of the book is Conversations with God . James Dobson talked about this book twice this week. It is devastating . Parents, churches and Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please pass this information on to church/e-mail addresses, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, friends.





Two particular books are, Conversations with God and Conversations with God for Teens , written by Neale D. Walsch. They sound harmless enough by their titles alone. The books have been on the New York Times best sellers list for a number of weeks, and they make truth of the statement, "Don't judge a book by its cover or title."



The author purports to answer various questions asked by kids using the "voice of God". However, the "answers" that he gives are not Bible-based and go against the very infallible word of God. For instance (and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question "Why am I a lesbian?" His answer is that she was 'born that way' because of genetics (just as you were born right-handed, with brown eyes, etc.). Then he tells her to go out and "celebrate" her differences.



Another girl poses the question "I am living with my boyfriend. My parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I marry him?" His reply is, "Who are you sinning against? Not me, because you have done nothing wrong."



Another question asks about God's forgiveness of sin. His reply "I do not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive... There is no such thing as right or wrong and that is what I have been trying to tell everyone, do not judge people. People have chosen to judge one another and this is wrong, because the rule is "'judge not lest ye be judged."



Not only are these books the false doctrine of the devil, but in some instances quote (in error) the Word of God.



And the list goes on. These books (and others like it) are being sold to school children through (The Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children.

Our children are under attack. So I pray that you be sober and vigilant about teaching your children the Word of God, and guarding their exposure to worldly mediums, because our adversary, the devil, roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). We know that lions usually hunt for the slowest, weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey.



Pass this on to every Believer you know. God bless! And, if you are in doubt, check out the books yourself.

Fridays At The Pentagon

I was not aware of this practice until now. I am pleased that it

happens and am astounded that it does happen, given the political

situation that exists in our government today.







It really breaks my heart to know that we didn't know this goes on

every Friday, well at least I didn't know. Instead, I guess the media

feels it's more important to report on Hollywood stars as heroes. I

hope this article gives you a sense of pride for what our men and women

are doing for us, every day, as they serve in the armed forces here and

abroad.

IT HAPPENS EVERY FRIDAY! WERE YOU AWARE?





Mornings at the Pentagon



By JOSEPH L. GALLOWAY

McClatchy Newspapers



Over the last 12 months, 1,042 soldiers, Marines, sailors and Air Force

personnel have given their lives in the terrible duty that is war.

Thousands more have come home on stretchers, horribly wounded and

facing months or years in military hospitals.



This week, I'm turning my space over to a good friend and former

roommate, Army Lt. Col. Robert Bateman, who recently completed a year

long tour of duty in Iraq and is now back at the Pentagon.



Here's Lt. Col. Bateman's account of a little-known ceremony that fills

the halls of the Army corridor of the Pentagon with cheers, applause

and many tears every Friday morning. It first appeared on May 17 on the

Weblog of media critic and pundit Eric Alterman at the Media Matters

for America Website.



"It is 110 yards from the "E" ring to the "A" ring of the Pentagon.

This section of the Pentagon is newly renovated; the floors shine, the

hallway is broad, and the lighting is bright. At this instant the

entire length of the corridor is packed with officers, a few sergeants

and some civilians, all crammed tightly three and four deep against the

walls. There are thousands here.



This hallway, more than any other, is the `Army' hallway. The G3

offices line one side, G2 the other, G8 is around the corner. All Army.

Moderate conversations flow in a low buzz. Friends who may not have

seen each other for a few weeks, or a few years, spot each other, cross

the way and renew.



Everyone shifts to ensure an open path remains down the center. The air

conditioning system was not designed for this press of bodies in this

area.



The temperature is rising already. Nobody cares. "10:36 hours: The

clapping starts at the E-Ring. That is the outermost of the five rings

of the Pentagon and it is closest to the entrance to the building. This

clapping is low, sustained, hearty. It is applause with a deep emotion

behind it as it moves forward in a wave down the length of the hallway.



"A steady rolling wave of sound it is, moving at the pace of the

soldier in the wheelchair who marks the forward edge with his presence.

He is the first. He is missing the greater part of one leg, and some of

his wounds are still suppurating. By his age I expect that he is a

private, or perhaps a private first class.



"Captains, majors, lieutenant colonels and colonels meet his gaze and

nod as they applaud, soldier to soldier. Three years ago when I

described one of these events, those lining the hallways were somewhat

different. The applause a little wilder, perhaps in private guilt for

not having shared in the burden ... Yet.



"Now almost everyone lining the hallway is, like the man in the

wheelchair, also a combat veteran. This steadies the applause, but I

think deepens the sentiment. We have all been there now. The soldier's

chair is pushed by, I believe, a full colonel.



"Behind him, and stretching the length from Rings E to A, come more of

his peers, each private, corporal, or sergeant assisted as need be by a

field grade officer.



"11:00 hours: Twenty-four minutes of steady applause. My hands hurt,

and I laugh to myself at how stupid that sounds in my own head. My

hands hurt. Please! Shut up and clap. For twenty-four minutes, soldier

after soldier has come down this hallway - 20, 25, 30.. Fifty-three

legs come with them, and perhaps only 52 hands or arms, but down this

hall came 30 solid hearts.



They pass down this corridor of officers and applause, and then meet

for a private lunch, at which they are the guests of honor, hosted by

the generals. Some are wheeled along. Some insist upon getting out of

their chairs, to march as best they can with their chin held up, down

this hallway, through this most unique audience. Some are catching

handshakes and smiling like a politician at a Fourth of July parade.

More than a couple of them seem amazed and are smiling shyly.





"There are families with them as well: the 18-year-old war-bride

pushing her 19-year-old husband's wheelchair and not quite

understanding why her husband is so affected by this, the boy she grew

up with, now a man, who had never shed a tear is crying; the older

immigrant Latino parents who have, perhaps more than their wounded

mid-20s son, an appreciation for the emotion given on their son's

behalf. No man in that hallway, walking or clapping, is ashamed by the

silent tears on more than a few cheeks. An Airborne Ranger wipes his

eyes only to better see. A couple of the officers in this crowd have

themselves been a part of this parade in the past.





These are our men, broken in body they may be, but they are our

brothers, and we welcome them home. This parade has gone on, every

single Friday, all year long, for more than four years.



"Did you know that? Don't send it back to me, just send it on its way

as you see fit.

Too far ahead? Thanks Judi Cole!

Think about it. Are we really better off now? I know I like a lot of the things mentioned here but are we really better off???













In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that

plastic bags weren’t good for the environment. The woman apologized

to her and explained, “We didn’t have the green thing back in my

day.”



That’s right, they didn’t have the green thing in her day. Back then,

they returned their milk bottles, Coke bottles and beer bottles to

the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and

refilled, using the same bottles over and over. So they really were

recycled.



But they didn’t have the green thing back her day.



In her day, they walked up stairs, because they didn’t have an

escalator in every store and office building. They walked to the

grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every

time they had to go two blocks.



But she’s right. They didn’t have the green thing in her day.





Back then, they washed the baby’s diapers because they didn’t have

the throw-away kind. They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy

gobbling machine burning up 220 volts – wind and solar power really

did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always

brand-new clothing.



But that old lady is right, they didn’t have the

green thing back in her day.





Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house – not a TV in

every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a pizza dish,

not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, they

blended and stirred by hand because they didn’t have electric

machines to do everything for you. When they packaged a fragile item

to send in the mail, they used wadded up newspaper to cushion it, not

styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.



Back then, they didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to

cut the lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power. They exercised by

working so they didn’t need to go to a health club to run on

treadmills that operate on electricity.



But she’s right, they didn’t

have the green thing back then.



They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty, instead of using a

cup or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water. They

refilled pens with ink, instead of buying a new pen, and they

replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the

whole razor just because the blade got dull.



But they didn’t have the green thing back then.





Back then, people took the streetcar and kids rode their bikes to

school or rode the school bus, instead of turning their moms into a

24-hour taxi service. They had one electrical outlet in a room, not

an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And they

didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from

satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest

pizza joint.



But they didn't have the green thing back then!
