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.

Service people fought for our freedoms and unthinking voters are letting freedoms go ... Thx Paul C!

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
I totally agree with the whole text in this email, and Yes I stand UP...and will pass this message along
.

My Grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I...
My Father watched as his friends died in WW II and Korea ...
I watched as my friends died in Vietnam ...
None of them died for the Mexican Flag...
Everyone died for the U.S. Flag...
In Texas, a student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole; another student took it down.
Guess who was expelled... The kid who took it down.
Kids in high school in California were sent home this year on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.
Enough is enough.
The below e-mail message needs to be viewed by every American;
And every American needs to stand up for America. We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough...I'm taking a stand...
I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. Flag can't stand up...
And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message...Let me make this perfectly clear!
THIS IS MY COUNTRY! And, because I make This statement DOES NOT Mean I'm against immigration!!! YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY!Welcome!
To come through legally:
1. Get a sponsor!
2. Get a place to lay your head!
3.Get a job!
4.Live By OUR Rules!
5.Pay YOUR Taxes!And
6.Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants
Have in the past!!
7.Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime Savings of Social Security Funds to you.
If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, Then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!
When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS???
We've gone so far the other way... Bent over backwards not to offend anyone...
But it seems no one cares about the
AMERICAN CITIZEN being offended!
WAKE UP America !!!If You agree...
Pass this on...
If You don't agree...
Then Just Delete It -
But Shame On You!!!!

The Catholics do have a point, but obama touts islam ... Thx Pau C!



The Catholics do have a point

  

THEY DO HAVE A POINT!
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT CATHOLIC, THIS IS EYE OPENING ...
 
When the Catholic Church was founded, there were no hospitals. Today,
one out of five people in this country receive their medical care at a
Catholic hospital.

When the Catholic Church was founded, there were no schools. Today, the
Catholic Church teaches

3 million students a day, in its more than 250
Catholic Colleges and Universities, in its more than 1200 Catholic High
Schools and its more than 5000 Catholic grade schools.
 Every day, the Catholic Church feeds, clothes, shelters and educates
more people than any other organization in the world.
The new Obama Health Mandate could end all this and the tax payers
 would have to make up the loss.

Also, all Catholic adoption services would come to an end; a human disaster.
There are more than 77 million Catholics in this country. It takes an
 estimated 50 million Catholic votes to elect a president. I am asking
all of you to go to the polls in 2014 and be united in replacing all
Senators and Reps with someone who will respect the Catholic Church,
all Christians, and all Religions with perhaps the exception of Islam.

Mr. President, you said, "The USA is not a Christian Nation". You are
wrong we are a Christian Nation founded on Judeo-Christian values
allowing all religions in America to Worship & Practice Freely.
Something Islam will never do.

Oh, by the way, on MUSLIM HERITAGE IN America ...
Have you ever been to a Muslim hospital,
heard a Muslim orchestra,
seen a Muslim band march in a parade, know of a Muslim charity, ever
seen Muslims shaking hands with a Muslim Girl Scout,
or ever seen a Muslim Candy Striper volunteering in a hospital ?
Have you ever seen a Muslim do much of anything that contributes
positively to the American way of life?
DON'T KEEP THIS - please SEND IT OUT TO YOUR LIST
. Let’s circulate this
to as many as possible.


They are showing up in public now ... Thx Paul C!




They really are here, it just isn’t rumor any more.   This recently received from a friend. Right here in western Colorado:

October 26, 2013 via Facebook Mobile on my phone.
 
So, as I was about to park, I saw this vehicle, so I quickly got out of my car and took a picture as it drove by.  As the driver saw me do this, he slammed on the brakes, and asked, "Do you have a problem?"  To which I replied, "Just taking a picture. Is that illegal now?"  He then eked forward a few feet and stayed there in the middle of the road for about a minute and a half until a car approached him from behind, forcing him to move...   This, ladies and gentlemen, is the FEDERAL POLICE FORCE (or Federal Protective Service, or United States Secret Service Uniformed Division as they are also known) we have been hearing about and the actual recipients of all that billions (yes, billions) of rounds of ammunition that is being produced for and procured by the Social Security Admin, The IRS, and other various government agencies for what purpose.  They are here, right in Downtown Grand Junction.   What is the real purpose of a Federal Protective Service and why do we need them?   Feel safe yet?   Google, United States Secret Service Uniformed Division and see what you find.
 
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Only in obbama's America, not ours ... Thx Ramey H!


Conviction driven by Guts!  A critical trait lacking in most of today’s politicians.

 Hobby Lobby Founder-May Close ALL Stores
 
The wisdom that comes from above is first, pure, then peaceable, gentle, open
to reason, full of mercy and good fruit, without uncertainty or insincerity.
James 3:17
 
By David Green, the founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

Description:

When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames.  Our first retail store wasn't much bigger than most people's living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God's word.
 
From there, Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation's largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.
 
We're Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I've always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God's laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money. And that's what we've tried to do. We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week's biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest.
 
We believe that it is by God's grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees. We've not only added jobs in a weak economy, we've raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at 80% above minimum wage.
 
But now, our government threatens to change all of that.
 
A new government healthcare mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance.
 
Being Christians, we don't pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don't cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs.
 
It goes against the Biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one.
 
If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines.
 
Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy.
 
Our government threatens to fine a company that's raised wages four years running.
 
Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs.  It's not right.
I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it's the same for everybody. But that's not true.
 
The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won't exempt them for reasons of religious belief.
 
So, Hobby Lobby and my family are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don't like to go running into court, but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.
          
My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is going to make that much more difficult.
 
The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that's a choice no American and no American business should have to make.
 
The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief. They have exempted thousands of companies but will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.
 
Since you will not see this in the liberal media, please pass this on to all your contacts.
 
Sincerely,
David Green
CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.
 
Did you ever think we would be discussing something like this in the land of free and home of the brave?
