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.

Bet you didn't foresee this end ,,,. Thx Marge R!

BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING
 
Read all the way down to end....
A tourist walked into a Chinese curio shop in San Francisco.
While looking around at the exotic merchandise, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized, bronze statue of a rat.
It had no price tag, but was so incredibly striking the tourist decided he must have it.
He took it to the old shop owner and asked, "How much for the bronze rat ?"
"Ahhh, you have chosen wisely! It is $12 for the rat and $100 for the story," said the wise old Chinaman.
The tourist quickly pulled out twelve dollars. "I'll just take the rat, you can keep the story".
As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, the tourist noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and had begun following him down the street. This was a bit disconcerting so he began walking faster.
A couple blocks later he looked behind him and saw to his horror the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and they began squealing.
Sweating now, the tourist began to trot toward San Francisco Bay.
Again, after a couple blocks, he looked around only to discover that the rats now numbered in the MILLIONS, and were squealing and coming toward him faster and faster.

Terrified, he ran to the edge of the Bay and threw the bronze rat as far as he could into the Bay.
Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the Bay after the bronze rat and were all drowned.
The man walked back to the curio shop in Chinatown .
"Ahhh," said the owner, "You come back for story ?"
"No sir," said the man, "I came back to see if you have a bronze muslim."

How should Christians opose satan ... Thx Titus Institute!

We, as human beings, do not have the strength in ourselves to stand against supernaturally powerful evil angels like Satan and his demons.
We are no match for Satan in our own power. But the Lord does have the power to defeat Satan and that’s whom we receive our power from.
Notice, in v. 10, it says “in the Lord and in his mighty power.” “In the Lord” means “in union with the Lord.” “To be strong in union with the Lord,” means “to receive spiritual strength from the Lord in our battle with Satan.” “His mighty power” refers to all God’s omnipotent and infinite power that He possesses. This means “Don’t flex your muscles, flex God’s muscles.”
God has unlimited power, Satan has limited power. God’s might is infinite. In Job 42:2, Job says, “I know that you can do anything and that no purpose of yours can be withheld from you.”
God is sovereign over Satan and rules over all his activities.

SamKat "I am a Tea Party guy"!

America's voters proved how stupid democracies can become in 2008 and 2012.  If they elect Hillary in 2016, they will once again contribute to America's decline.  The Republicans have many excellent candidates for 2016; however they may kill themselves off in the unending debates the republicans  insist upon.  I am for an open convention to pick their candidate.  I never like the special picks they put forward with so much PAC money to spend.  UNFORTUNATELY, THIS REPUBLIC HAS BECOME MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN CAPABILITY.   I am neither democrat nor republican.  I am a Tea Party guy and such have won elections for repubs in recent years.  I have attended Columbus Ohio gatherings in the last few years and have seen nothing of the sort bought by big money leftists in their demonstrations.  I have seen patrioticAmericans who want this country baack on the road to God's Greatest Country On This Green Earth (Thank you Michael Medvid of the Answer radio 98.9 FM in Columbus, Ohio.

Cell Phone ... Thx Clay V!

Since everyone has a cell phone,
I couldn't pass up sending this cute e-mail.
Enjoy!!



Description:
https://mcx.mweb.co.za//email.aspx/DownloadEmbeddedImage?folderPath=INBOX&messageId=13993&attachmentId=X.MA1.1360046201@aol.com

After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in his seat and closed his eyes.
As the train rolled out of the station, the young woman sitting next to him pulled
out her cell phone and started talking in a loud voice:
"Hi sweetheart. It's Linda. I'm on the train".
"Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting".
"No, honey, not with that Kevin from the accounting office. It was with the boss".
"No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life".
"Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart!"
Fifteen minutes later, she was still talking loudly.

When the man sitting next to her had enough, he leaned over and said into the phone,
"Linda, hang up the phone and come back to bed."
Linda doesn't use her cell phone in public any longer.

Bob Hope: An absolute must see ... Thx Judio C!


I had to share this with everyone.  Enjoy.....
 
 
    BOB HOPE: AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE!
A true patriot.
Thanks for the memories      
 
Alan Alda first saw Bob Hope in WWII.  Until the day he died his Dad never ever missed a Bob Hope special.  Alan remembered him laughing and crying at every show but he never understood why.  Now he knows. A little travel back in time.  This might make your eyes wet! 

Those were the days…..jokes were funny, not disgusting.......and the girls were dressed to make them look pretty, not vulgar.
This is some priceless footage and It makes me thankful that I am old enough to have lived in the era of Bob Hope

A year smelling like 1938 ... Thx Judi C!


A year that smells like 1938

Published Feb. 17, 2015
We're well into the new century, moving swiftly through the second decade of the new millennium, at ease in an era of science, modern medicine and wondrous electronics that our grandparents could not have imagined. (Even our parents don't understand most of it.) So why does 2015 smell like Munich and 1938, reeking of denial, blindness, mendacity, cant and cowardice in the year that would introduce monstrous tyranny and barbarism, an assault on the very idea of civilization? Comparisons may be odious but only the weak and foolish look and do not see.
A gunman invades the sanctity of a synagogue in Copenhagen, where Jews at worship imagined they were safe, and kills the man guarding the door. This followed by a day an attempted massacre at a seminar on free speech in another part of Copenhagen, where a gunman shouting the familiar Muslim cry of worship — "Allahhu Akbar," or "Allah is great" — shot and killed one of the participants.
Hoodlums routinely desecrate the graves of Jews in France; in Germany the authorities call off a peaceful parade through the streets because they're afraid it will attract terrorists. Jews visiting Denmark from Israel are warned not to wear yarmulkes or any sign they are Jewish. Across Europe, and even in the United States, the ancient curse of anti-Semitism seeps from under the rocks and the toxic swamps where it had taken refuge.
The Islamic State, or ISIS, with its dreams of a world-wide caliphate ruled by Islam from the Dark Ages, videotapes the beheading of 21 Coptic Christians in Libya, puts their severed heads on display atop their bodies like cherries on a row of ice-cream sodas, and uploads it to the Internet for the world to see the work of the faithful. The Nazis, as if shamed in their own eyes, tried to hide their most evil deeds.


THERE"S MORE!

Where does such runaway evil go next? The civilized world of 1938 had to wait for Winston Churchill for rescue, and then for Franklin D. Roosevelt to make up his mind whether to follow. There's neither a Churchill nor a FDR in sight. The events in Copenhagen underscores what The Wall Street Journal calls Europe's new terrorist normal. "Homegrown or immigrant Muslim terrorists targeting innocents and the Western way of life are becoming a feature of Continental life."
The West in 2015, like the West in 1938, invites by default the approaching storm. America has always led the way against the destroyers of the civilized life, but President Obama either can't or won't see the threat of radical Islam. He chokes on the word "Islamic" and when denouncing the beheading massacre of Coptic Christians he wouldn't say "Christian." Mr. Obama is proud of his education (he knows all about the Crusades), his Harvard law degree and the adoration of the intellectual elites, but he's the last man in the West who can't see the terrorists for who and what they are. He wants Congress to give him a bigger gun to shoot at ISIS, but Congress can't be sure he knows which is the business end of a gun, and how and where to aim it.
The hostility of the intellectual elites to Israel encourages these terrorists as they plot further evil. The men of evil understand that ultimately only the Americans stand in their way of realizing the dream of the worldwide caliphate, and when the leader of the Americans isn't even sure who the enemy is they rightly figure they have little to worry about.
The 8,000 Jews in Denmark deal with anti-Semitism every day, and the Danish government, full of the usual Scandinavian piety about its wonderfulness, grants millions of kroner to activists who disguise their hatred of Jews, and lecture the Israelis about how they deal with the real-world threats to their survival.
The good news is that France, which has had a habit of sleep-walking through history, seems to have pinched itself awake. Since the Charlie Hepdo and kosher supermarket attacks even the densest Frenchman can see that the Islamic radicals have him in their gunsights along with everyone else who doesn't bow to Allah in the way of the Ninth Century. Prime Minister Manuel Valls has ordered the isolation of Muslim jihadists in prisons, increased spending on intelligence agencies and according security forces greater authority to monitor terrorist suspects on the Internet.
Mr. Obama wants more authority, too, but nobody in Congress can figure out why. He already has more authority than he's willing to use. He could take to heart the admonition of Theodore Roosevelt: "I have a perfect horror of words that are not backed up by deeds." So do we all.
