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.

The Train ... Thx Dr. H!

The train ... Thx Dr. H!  This is one of the most beautiful things ever on my blog!



This is beautiful...

At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey. Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.

This man owned and drove the same car for 82 years ... Thx Dr. H!


Subject: THIS MAN OWNED AND DROVE THE SAME CAR FOR 82 YEARS

Mr.  Allen Swift:  Born:  1908 ˜ Died  2010

    This  man owned & drove the same car for 82 YEARS.

Can  you imagine even having the same car for 82  years? 

Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield ,  Massachusetts) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1  Roadster from his father,
 brand  new - as a graduation gift in 1928. 

He drove it  up until his death last year ... at the age of  102!!!

He was the oldest living owner of a car that  was purchased new. 

Just thought you'd like to  see it.

It was donated to a Springfield museum after  his death.

It has 1,070,000 miles on it, still runs  like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in  perfect cosmetic condition.
 (82  years). That's approximately 13,048 miles per year (1087 per  month)...

cid:1.2966768797@web122202.mail.ne1.yahoo.com
1,070,000  that's miles not kilometres!!
  
That's  British engineering of a bygone era. I don't think they make  them like this anymore.

Church squirrels ... Thx again Dr. H!


CHURCH SQUIRRELS           
I don't care who you are, this is funny!



There were five houses of religion in a 
small town:

The Presbyterian Church,
The Baptist Church ,
The Methodist Church ,
The Catholic Church
and
The Jewish Synagogue. 

Each church and Synagogue was overrun with pesky squirrels.
 

One day,
 the Presbyterian Church  called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels.  After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.



In The BAPTIST CHURCH the squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week

The Methodist Church
 got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creation. So, they humanely trapped the Squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.


But
 -- The Catholic Church came up with the best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church.  Now they only see them on Christmas, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday and Easter.


Not much was heard about the  Jewish Synagogue, but they took one squirrel and had a short service with him called circumcision.  They haven't seen a squirrel on the property since.

*************************************


Keep going
....

For all who appreciate the outdoors ...
 the rarely photographed South Florida Squirrel. 




Life is too short for drama and petty things, laugh a lot,
 love truly and forgive quickly.

A theatre got goers to use their phones ... Thx Dr. H!

The Jewish State in a Morally Sick World

JewishWorldReview.com | Let's drop the names "Hamas" and "Israel" and make a list of the characteristics of two imaginary warring entities. We'll call them Entity A and Entity B.
Entity A:


  • Declares that its raison d'etre is to annihilate Entity B.
  • Sends missiles to explode in the most populated parts of Entity B in order to kill as many civilians as possible.
  • Uses families and individual civilians as human shields to protect its own leaders from attack.
  • Tortures and kills domestic political opponents.
  • Has no political or religious freedom and has no freedom of speech, press, or assembly, and no independent judiciary.
  • Is a theocracy.
  • Violently oppresses gays.
  • Saturates its education and airwaves with a demonic hatred of Entity B.
  • Rated a "6" by Freedom House in its 2013 report on freedom in the world. Seven is the worst possible rating. Entity A ranks 6 in freedom, 6 in civil liberties and 6 political rights.

Entity B:

  • Recognizes the right of Entity A to an independent existence.
  • Has never begun a war with Entity A.
  • Has never targeted civilians in Entity A. In fact, it has sacrificed soldiers in order to avoid killing Entity A civilians.
  • Domestic political opponents — including even supporters of Entity A — not only have freedom of assembly, press and expression; they have political parties with representatives in Entity B's parliament.
  • Has freedom of the press, assembly, religion, and a completely independent judiciary.
  • Allows gays full civil rights.
  • Has innumerable human rights groups dedicated to the welfare of people belonging to Entity A.
  • Has no education or broadcasts comparable to the daily hate in Entity A.
  • Freedom House rating for 2014 is 1.5 in freedom ("1" is best possible); 2 in civil liberties; 1 in political liberties.
So, then, with which entity does nearly every government in the world side? Entity A.
And what is the primary concern of the United Nations, nearly all the world's media, and nearly all the world's intellectuals? That Entity B, while hundreds of missiles are launched at its most populated cities, not kill any of the civilians among whom Entity A's leaders hide.
The moral gulf between Israel, our Entity B, and Hamas, our Entity A, is as clear and as great as the one that existed between the Allies and Nazi Germany. It is one of the few instances in today's world when the Nazi analogy is accurate.
It is clear that while free and democratic countries such as those in Western Europe value the freedoms of speech, assembly, and press for themselves, the absence of these freedoms among Israel's enemies means nothing to the Europeans in morally assessing the Middle East conflict.
The news media, too, have no moral focus. They are preoccupied with Gazans who have died, and with the disparity between the number of Gazans killed and the number of Israelis killed — as if that is morally dispositive. Imagine that during World War II, the Western press had converged on German hospitals and apartment buildings and repeatedly announced the huge disparity between German civilian deaths and British civilian deaths. More than 10 times the number of German civilians were killed as were British — but did that have anything at all to do with the morality of the British war against Germany?
The big question, then, is why? Why is decent, free, democratic Israel not fully supported by decent countries against the genocidal Islamist regime of Gaza?
Is there any other example in history of a free state and a police state at war in which the free state was deemed morally equivalent to the police state, or, even more implausibly, deemed the aggressor? Last week, a New York Times editorial put the equivalence this way: "an atmosphere in which each side dehumanizes the other."
Here, then, are some reasons:
1. The West has lost its way. Europe gave up on its values after World War I. And the American left, which dominates the media, gave up on America's distinctive values after the Vietnam War.
2. Unlike during World War II, there is a United Nations today, and it is dominated by over 50 Islamic countries, their dozens of allies, and a Security Council on which sit Russia and China as permanent members.
3. The current American president is a product of the postwar leftist morality. Wherever the left is in power, Israel is unpopular at best and loathed at worst. Thus, Israel's best friend today is the conservative government of Canada.
4. The world's news media relentlessly show images of wounded and dead Gazans. Israel, on the other hand, though the target of mass-killing missiles, has thus far been able to avoid such casualties.
5. Israel is Jewish.
If there are more valid reasons for why the world equates Israel and its morally primitive enemies — or actually deems Israel the villain — I have yet to hear them.

Cars end up parked all overthe streets affecting snow plowing, garbage pick up, ambulance runs.
 
I'll send you some pics as Itake them
 
If this doesn't scare you, youhaven't been watching what has happened to our country in recent years.
 
 
 
I bet you can't guess what this is!

Well, it's part of the instructions for how to apply for food  stamps in thegreat state of Michigan in Arabic !!
 
  
Read on:
 
  
I actually called the Michigan Dept  of Human Services
 
to check this out and it is true.
 
 
 
Have we gone completely nuts!!
 
 
 
Muslim men are allowed to have as many as 4 wives. Many Muslims have immigratedinto  the U.S. and brought their 2-3-or 4 wives with them, but the U.S.does not allow  plural marriages, so the man lists one wife as his, andsigns the other 2 or 3 up  as extended family on welfare and other freeGovernment  programs!
  
Michiganhas the highest population of Muslims in the  United States .
 
WhenPresident   Obama took office the United States paid severalmillions of dollars to have a large number of Palestinians , ( AllMuslim ), immigrated here from Palestine . Why? We don't pay for other persons to immigrate here, and I'm sure that some of thoseMuslims  moved into Michigan with the large current number of Muslimsalready established  there.
 
 
 
So now in Michigan when you call the Public Assistance office you are toldto  “Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Spanish, or Press 3 for Arabic”!CHECK IT OUT  YOURSELF - Here is the number 1-888-678-8914.
 
 
 
Every time you add a new language to an American program it requires anadditional  number of persons fluent in that language to process thosepersons who refuse to  learn English in order to live here at anadditional cost to the taxpayer! Why  are we even allowing persons toimmigrate here who cannot provide for  themselves, and putting them in ourwelfare system?
 
Press 3 for Arabic.
 
This is quite alarming!!! This seems to have happened clandestinely , for, as faras  I know, no public announcement or opportunity to vote on this wasoffered 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 PublicAssistance   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 toour  governmental offices, stores, and other venues offer us the option of"pressing  3 for ARABIC?"
 
 
 
Check it out for yourself.
 
 
(When you get to this web site, just click on the FORMS AND PUBLICATIONS button-  those forms in Arabic are listed as ending in AR!!)
 
 
 
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 !
                       
  Thank you Obama. You promised change and you've certainly kept your word!!!!!  It's allnegative change but it's change.
