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.

NewsmaxPoll Most Americans fear Govt. more than terrorism




4. Poll: Americans Worry More About Govt Than Terrorism
A poll conducted just days after the Boston Marathon bombings shows that despite that tragedy, Americans are more concerned that government will trample constitutional rights than they are about the government failing to prevent terrorist attacks.
The Washington Post survey posed the question this way: “Which worries you more: that the government will not go far enough to investigate terrorism because of concerns about constitutional rights, or that it will go too far in compromising constitutional rights in order to investigate terrorism?”
Nearly half — 48 percent — said they are concerned the government will go too far, while 41 percent believe it will not go far enough. The rest said “neither” or had no opinion.
As recently as 2010, a Post poll found that just 27 percent feared government will go too far, compared to 63 percent who said they were more concerned it will not go far enough.
The new poll also disclosed that 66 percent of Americans believe “terrorists will always find a way to launch major attacks,” while 30 percent say the government can eventually prevent all major attacks.
Respondents in a Fox News poll also conducted after the Boston bombings expressed sentiments similar to those in the Post survey.
The Fox poll asked: “Would you be willing to give up some of your personal freedom in order to reduce the threat of terrorism?”
Only 43 percent said “yes,” while 45 percent said “no” — the first time since 9/11 that more respondents said “no” than “yes” in a Fox News survey.
Just 38 percent of respondents under age 35 in the new Fox poll said “yes,” while 51 percent of those 65 and older said “yes.”

How did we get here ... Thx Ramey H!

Watch this, then ask, "how did we get here"

This guy's video on you-tube has been so popular that Obama called him personally.  He said he was very disturbed with the video and invited him to the White House.  Obama also said he wanted the White House to handle the Press and not to talk about the video or the White House visit.  That's very interesting.
Watch it now before it's pulled from youtube. This may be the best six minutes invested in your future.

If he is a hero...........She is an angel
 
 
"I could hardly keep the tears from falling!!!"
--
God has blessed us all, for he has put soldiers here to protect what we believe in!
 
THE FINAL INSPECTION
PLEASE DO NOT HOLD ON TO THIS OR PRESS DELETE. SOMEONE HAS TO HOLD OUR COUNTRY IN THEIR HANDS.. SEND THIS ON, AND ON AND ON…

THE FINAL INSPECTION

The Soldier stood and faced God, Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
'Step forward now, Soldier, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?' The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
'No, Lord, I guess I have not. Because those of us who carry guns, Can't always be a saint I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was tough. And sometimes I've been violent, Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny, That wasn't mine to keep... Though I worked a lot of overtime, When the bills got just too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear.. And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place, Among the people here. They never wanted me around, Except to calm their fears
If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne, Where the saints had often trod. As the Soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God.
'Step forward now, you Soldier, You've borne your burdens well. Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell.'

It's the Soldier, not the reporter Who has given us the Freedom of the Press. It's the Soldier, not the poet, Who has given us the Freedom of Speech. It's the Soldier, not the politicians That ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.. It's the Soldier who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag.

If you care to offer the smallest token of recognition and appreciation for the Military,
Please pass
this on and pray for our men and women
Who have served and are currently serving our country And pray for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
