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.

German view on Islam ... Thanks Sarah H and Jack!

 
                                                           German View on Islam

         I wish everyone would read this through-
                before it's too late!

 


A German's View on Islam - worth reading.   This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read.   His references to past history are accurate and clear.   Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read.   The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist.
A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates.    When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care.   I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools.    So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen.   Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come.   My family lost everything.   I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'

We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace.   Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant.    It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history.   It is the fanatics who march.    It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide.    It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave.   It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill.   It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque.   It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals.   It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people.    The peaceful majority were irrelevant.. China 's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist.    Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery.   Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.
Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun..

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.
As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand.   So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on!
Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and send it on - before it's too late.

Now Islamic prayers have been introduced into Toronto and other public schools in Ontario, and, yes, in Ottawa too while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?).   The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in.

And we are silent.......


 

Laminen molecules hold us together

Laminin Molecules Hold Us Together
They are the Glue of Biological Life
                                                                                                                       
The laminin protein molecule is the major component that makes up the extracellular matrix which is also called the basement membrane.  These are the sheets of protein that form the substrate of all internal organs.  Laminin assist in cell adhesion and binds other extracellular matrix components together.

The laminin molecule is shaped like a cross and has four arms that are designed to bind to four other molecules. The three shorter arms are particularly good at binding to other laminin molecules, which is what makes it so great at forming sheets. The long arm is capable of binding to cells, which helps anchor the actual organs to the membrane.


Laminin is made up of three separate parts, called the Alpha (A), Bata (B1), and Gamma (B2) chains. That gives it a total of six ends, which accounts for a lot of its flexibility in connecting up various kinds of molecules.

The various laminins are a family of glycoproteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding in humans and almost every animal tissue.  Laminin is vital to making sure overall body structures hold together.

Hebrews 1:1-3

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,  hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;  who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the Word of his power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”

Colossians 1:15-22

In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins:  who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:  For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:  And he is before all things, and by Him all things consist.  And He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.  For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell;  and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled  in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.”

SYMBOLS IN NATURE
SCRIPTURAL PICTUERS

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” (1 John 5:7)

 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20)  

 In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins:    who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:  For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:  And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. (Colossians 1:14-17) 

The Greek word here in Colossians 1:17 translated "consist" (Strong's #4921) is a compound word from two words: one meaning, "stand" or "establish" (Strong's #2476) and the other meaning, "with" or "beside" (Strong's #4862).  Thus by the power of Christ all things "stand together" or "consist"

The entry in Websters 1828 Dictionary for the word "consist" says:  "CONSIST, v.i. [L., to stand.]  To stand together; to be in a fixed or permanent state, as a body composed of parts in union or connection. Hence, to be; to exist; to subsist; to be supported and maintained. ..."

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” (Colossians 1:20)

        
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalm 139:14)

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.
13
SamKat
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!!

Kennesaw, GA and guns Also about Switzerland and Hitler

Do you know why Switzerland was neutral and remained unconquered by the Germans during WWII ?     It’s because Swiss law requires that every single person own a firearm and be trained in its use.      Hitler was smart enough to know his guys would get blown out of the mountains by the Swiss, so he went where there was gun control.

Kennesaw, Georgia Peaceful with guns Thanks Jon K!


Important cell phone info ... Thanks Lou F!

Cell phone info. update
 
Subject: Print this - keep it in your car - cell phone info. update
 

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CELL PHONE 
4 Things you might not have known about your cell phone
For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet.
Good information to have with you.)
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. 
Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST (Emergency)
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile   is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND (Hidden Battery Power)
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.
THIRD (How to Disable a STOLEN Mobile Phone)To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone:     *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
If your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there will be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
 

And finally...
FOURTH (Free Directory Service for Cells)
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE411   or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.  Program this into your cell phone now.

This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.
