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.

The Cross in Our Bodies
This is a pretty neat story and an interesting thing that few of us know. It's brief, so please
read. (FROM A DOCTOR)
A couple of days ago I was running (I use that term very loosely) on my treadmill,
watching a DVD sermon by Louie Giglio... And I was BLOWN AWAY! I want to share
what I learned.... But I fear not being able to convey it as well as I want. I will share
anyway.

He (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God is... How He spoke the
universe into being... How He breathes stars out of His mouth that are huge raging balls
of fire.. Etc. Etc. Then He went on to speak of how this star-breathing, universe creating
God ALSO knitted our human bodies together with amazing detail and wonder. At this
point I am LOVING it (fascinating from a medical standpoint, you know.) . And I was
remembering how I was constantly amazed during medical school as I learned more and
more about God's handiwork. I remember so many times thinking..'How can ANYONE
deny that a Creator did all of this???'
Louie went on to talk about how we can trust that the God who created all this, also has
the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling apart...how our loving
Creator is also our sustainer.
And then I lost my breath. And it wasn't because I was running my treadmill, either!!!
It was because he started talking about laminin. I knew about laminin.. Here is how
Wikipedia describes them: 'Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of
the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue' You
see.... Laminins are what hold us together.... LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion
molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we
would literally fall apart. And I knew all this already. But what I didn't know is what they
LOOKED LIKE..
But now I do. And I have thought about it a thousand times since (already)....Here is what
the structure of laminin looks like... AND THIS IS NOT a 'Christian portrayal' of it.... If you
look up laminin in any scientific/medical piece of literature, this is what you will see....
Now tell me that our God is not the coolest!!! Amazing. The glue that holds us together....
ALL of us.... Is in the shape of the cross. Immediately Colossians 1:15-17 comes to mind.
'He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things
were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible And invisible, whether thrones or
powers or rulers or Authorities; All things were created by him and for him. He is before
all things, and in him All things HOLD TOGETHER.'
Colossians 1:15-17
Call me crazy. I just think that is very, very, very cool. Thousands of years before the
world knew anything about laminin, Paul penned those words. And now we see that from
a very LITERAL standpoint, we are held together... One cell to another.... By the cross.
You would never in a quadrillion years convince me that is anything other than the mark
of a Creator who knew EXACTLY what laminin 'glue' would look like long before Adam
breathed his first breath!!
