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.

Who am I? ... From a good and anonymous friend

Subject: Who am I?




I was born in one country, raised in another.



My father was born in another country.



I was not his only child.



He fathered several children with numerous women.



I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.



My mother died at an early age from cancer.



Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father not my mother.



Later in life, questions arose over my real name.



My birth records were sketchy.



No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.



I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.



I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.



That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and embarked on a new career.



I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.



It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.



I became active in local politics in my 30's then, with help behind the scenes, I literally

burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s.



They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.



I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization.



Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me, as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.



I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.



This bolstered my ego.



At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy...



I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every opportunity to bash my country.



But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's

economy.



I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.



I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.



It was the free market, banks and corporations.



I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they became envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.



I called mine "A People's Campaign".



That sounded good to all people.



I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.



I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope', together we could change our country and the world.



So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities".



My true views were not widely known and I kept them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.



I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people associated with. I'm glad they didn't.



Then I became the most powerful man in the world.



And then world learned the truth.



Who am I?

ADOLPH HITLER



If you were thinking of SOMEONE ELSE, you should be scared, very scared!

Pennies found ... Thanks Lynches!

Pennies!- worth the few short minutes to read!



You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I've ever heard this twist on the story. Gives you something to think about.....



Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. My friend, Arlene, was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her house.



The first day and evening went well, and Arlene was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The husband's employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants. Arlene knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely.



As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of Arlene and her husband. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a long, silent moment.



Arlene wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts. Still silent, the man reached down and picked up the penny.

He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up?



Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she could stand it no longer. She casually mentioned that her daughter once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value. A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see.. She had seen many pennies before! What was the point of this? 'Look at it,' he said. 'Read what it says.' She read the words ' United States of America .' 'No, not that; read further.'

'One cent?' 'No, keep reading.'

'In God we Trust?' 'Yes!' 'And... ?'



He explained, 'And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it! God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him. Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the coin up as my response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful! '



When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the words, 'In God We Trust,' and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the message.



It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is patient..


Thought for the Day:


If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.


If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.



He sends you flowers every spring.



He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!



Send this to every 'beautiful person' you wish to bless.

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.


Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...



If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.



Pass this message to seven people except you and me.



You will receive a miracle tomorrow (just do it)!

Please come back to America, God ... Thanks Tom & Carolyn!

~~~Hi Lord ~~~


Simple but true.



Hi Lord, it’s me.



We are getting older and things are getting bad here.

Gas prices are too high, no jobs, food and heating costs too high.

I know some have taken you out of our schools, government and even

Christmas, but Lord I'm asking you to come back

and re-bless America .

We really need you!



There are more of us who want you than those who don't!

Thank You Lord,

I Love you.



If you agree, send it on---if not just delete.

Only you & the Lord will know.

86 to 14 for God- last liberal poll I saw.

Proposed cuts ... Thanks Lyle Shover!

Lyle this doesn't even touch foreign aid and o's repairing mosques all over the world.

Federal non-representatives have just dug into the federal pie too often and too much!  States rights would have none of these approved.


Subject: Proposed cuts






While I don't agree with all, it certainly shows many unneeded programs and activities - perfect examples of BIG government which needs to be trimmed!





Can you find anything in this list of cuts that you couldn't do without?

I'm guessing there isn't...This would be a good start at cutting our over

bloated Federal budget....





These programs/organizations may be very worthwhile, but is this what the

Federal Govt. is mandated to take care...I don't think so...In my

opinion, this is just one example of our goverment over extending their

authority...I bet you can think of many more...



If you would like a good book that discusses issues like this read

"My question is ", What THE HELL is all this crap doing in the budget in the

first place?

Is there anything listed here you cannot do without?

Press 3 for arabic in Michigan ... UGH Ramey!

THE CAMEL'S NOSE IS OFFICIALLY IN THE TENT IN MICHIGAN !!!




Muslim men are allowed to have as many as 4 wives. Many Muslims have immigrated into the U.S. and brought their 2-3-or 4 wives with them, but the U.S. does not allow multi marriages, so the man lists one wife as his, and signs the other 2 or 3 up as extended family on welfare and other free Government programs!



Michigan has the highest population of Muslims in the United States .



So now in Michigan when you call the Public Assistance office you are told to �Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Spanish, or Press 3 for Arabic�!

Every time you add a new language to an American program it requires an additional number of persons fluent in that language to process those persons who refuse to learn English in order to live here at an additional cost to the taxpayer! Why are we even allowing persons to immigrate here who cannot provide for themselves, and putting them in our welfare system?



Press 3 for Arabic .

This is quite alarming!!! This seems to have happened clandestinely, for, as far as I know, no public announcement, or opportunity to vote on this was offered to the American people. They're just adopting an official stance, and very likely using tax-payer money for it, in various capacities, without public knowledge or approval.



The following link takes you into the State of Michigan Public Assistance page, (as in Food Stamps etc). You won't have to scroll far before you see the assistance-letters options for...(get this).....English, Spanish, and ARABIC !!!



When did the ARABIC option sneak into our culture? Will we soon have to listen to our governmental offices, stores, and other venues offer us the option of "pressing 3 for ARABIC?"



Check it out for yourself.



http://www.michigan.gov/dhs/0,1607,7-124-5453_5527---,00.html

Please inform every red-blooded American you know, that this is happening. It is outrageous! The camel's nose is literally now OFFICIALLY under the tent! YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!!!

The yellow light ... Thanks Sarah Rapp!

THE YELLOW LIGHTThe light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.


As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.He said, ''I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally....I assumed you had stolen the car.''Priceless.

Thanks Sarah!

I act in non-Christian ways at times when I am behind the wheel.  Only to be ashamed of.  Actually, though.  The Christian way is always best.

o and his 1% on transactions ... Thanks Marge!

Hi guys, I have a copy of this Bill and the man who wrote this article is so correct. Yep,


for every bank transaction you do including automatic deposits, the bank will deduct one percent

from your account. Guess we need to find another place to park our bucks! Maybe we citizens

should consider banding together and start or our Citizens for American's Bank. Wouldn't that

be interesting. Marge


Subj: FW: 1% Tax OPEN YOUR EYES........PAY ATTENTION TO THIS!!!

Well, the hits from Obama just keep coming. Look what's coming in November!

Send this to those whom you know. We must defeat him in November or our way of life as we know it, is over.



CAN NO ONE PUSH AGAINST THIS + WHERE ARE WE GOING EXCEPT TO A SOCIALIST DICTATOR SHIP WITH HIM!!!

1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646

This government just cannot think of enough ways to hurt the American people!This Bill must die FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646 - ANOTHER NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP.

Checked this on snopes, it's true! Check out HR 4646. (see below copied from Snopes)

President Obama's finance team is recommending a one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama's plan is to sneak it in after the November

elections to keep it under the radar.

This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution - banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your account, will have a 1% tax charged.

~If your paycheck or your social security or whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax charged for the transaction.

~If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check into your bank for a deposit, 1% tax will be charged.~You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank.

~If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged.

Mind you, 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 about this guy's under-the-table moves to increase the number of ways you are taxed.

~Oh, and by the way, you receive a refund from the IRS next year and you have it direct deposited or you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money just for putting it in your bank. Remember,

any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank.

Some will say, oh well, it's just 1%. Are you kidding me? It's a 1% tax increase across the board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can also raise it at will. And if anyone protests, they will just say, "oh,that's not really a tax, it's a user fee"! Think this is no big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you

made from last year's banking statements. Then add the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%.

Still think it's no big deal???



1. snopes.com: Debt Free America Act - Is the U.S. government proposing a 1% tax on debit card usage and/or banking transactions?

Subj: NICE LIST TO READ





Dear Friends and Love ones



Read these beautiful words. One must try to understand the deep meanings in them. They are like the Ten Commandments to follow in life all the time.



1] Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble; it is a "steering wheel" that directs us in the right path throughout life.



2] Do you know why a car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the rear view mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, look ahead and move on.



3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes a few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.



4] All things in life are temporary. If they are going well - enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong don’t worry, they can't last long either.



5] Old friends are like Gold! New friends are Diamonds! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a base of Gold!



6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!



7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.



8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision."



9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them; and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.



10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES; it takes away today’s PEACE.
