Here is a hypothetical conundrum.
If I in my youth was so critical of my mothers smoking that due to unknown or unforceable curses, I was cursed to smoke and I who born of a great princess; my mother, thereby inheriting great princehood and by the curses that are laid out as a defense for me, my mother was also cursed by those same curses now laid up in her bed and growing weaker also. If I quit smoking the curses that protect me having proved stronger would cause my Mother to die.
Leaving me in a place where I have the choice of quitting and by proxy of the curses killing my mother or continuing to smoke, slowly killing myself.
Which choice should I make?
By the way I am still smoking.

Battleships
A little exerpt from an article containing some very pertenint facts concerning something I have always believed. The battleships are not done yet. Oh and another thing I don't think we are hiring our politicians for they're math abilities. Cause I dunno but the old BB's are still the baddest honkin machines around .
By Ollie North @townhall.com (link on side bar)
Even if the Navy ordered more of the DD(X) class -- at $2 billion to $3.5 billion each -- these small, thin-skinned vessels are highly vulnerable to "sea skimmer" missiles. And a terrorist action, like the 2000 attack on the USS Cole -- which crippled the destroyer and killed 17 -- would do similar damage to a DD(X).
Naval officers admit that heavily armored battleships are practically impervious to such strikes, but claim that what the DD(X) lacks in armor it will make up in stealth and speed. To embattled Marines that just means their nearest naval gunfire support will be far out at sea and traveling at high speed -- neither of which contribute to accurate "steel on target" for troops fighting ashore.
Our Navy currently has no capability for providing the lethal, high-volume firepower that would be required if -- God forbid -- we should have to land Marines on the coasts of Iran or North Korea, or in defense of Taiwan. When the Marines assaulted Um Qasr at the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003, they had to rely on naval gunfire from an Australian frigate. The Navy's answer is to wait six years for the costly, unproven ERGM system and a half-dozen or fewer, yet-to-be-built DD(X) ships. But America's enemies may not wait that long. And America's taxpayers may not want to pay the price -- in blood or treasure. The DD(X)-ERGM experiments are estimated to cost between $12 billion and $16 billion.
It would take less than two years to reactivate the Iowa and Wisconsin. The battleships are 10 percent faster than the still-conceptual DD(X). They each bring to bear 12 5-inch and nine 16-inch guns -- capable, with new munitions, of firing accurately to nearly 100 miles. The two battleships can also carry nearly twice as many cruise missiles as all the DD(X) hulls combined. All that firepower is available for $2 billion -- the cost of one DD(X).
Sometimes, as I tell my grandchildren, older is better. In the case of the two battlewagons, older is not only superior, it's also a lot less expensive

I am not Catholic
I remember a long time ago I had noticed that there were saints amongst all the differing branches of Christianity. this girl is Catholic and I just kindof stumbled upon her.
This is Saint Hood this is the dwelling place of Little lambs. These are the people most precious to our lord. These are the people at the front of the line as opposed to me. If I am lucky I'll end up in the middle somewhere
[ Did you receive a gift from God today?Why sure you did! You woke up, didn't you?Every new day is a gift from God. Every leaf, every sunrise, every thing is a gift. You have gifts all around you--- so start noticing them. Saint Paul tells us" What do you possess that you have not received?... You have already grown rich". So if you're so rich, enjoy it! God GAVE you life. God GAVE you the world --- and all the wonders of the earth and the sky and the sea. So what do you do when somebody gives you a gift? You enjoy it, appreciate it-- and say thanks. ]

'Love Won Out' Offers Way Out for Those Entrapped by Homosexuality
By Allie MartinJune 10, 2005
(AgapePress) - A conference aimed at uncovering the truth about homosexuality takes place in Seattle later this month. Focus on Family is sponsoring its "Love Won Out" conference in the northwest metropolis on June 25.
Focus on the Family promotes the message that homosexuality is both preventable and treatable -- and maintains that such a message is "routinely silenced" these days. To overcome that obstacle, the Colorado Springs-based ministry sponsors one-day "Love Won Out" conferences at venues around the country that feature former homosexuals and other experts who tackle a wide variety of questions about the subject -- such as, Can homosexuality be prevented? Is it genetic? and What causes homosexuality?
Mike Haley is Director of the Homosexuality and Gender Department for FOTF's Public Policy Division. He says the conferences are always met with protest by homosexual activists.
"The other side hates the message that gays and lesbians can change, because it goes against the very foundation upon which their whole movement is established," Haley explains. "[They believe that] if you're born this way, then they should be allowed special and civil rights status -- and those things just aren't true."
Haley suggests that is one reason why homosexual activists dislike the message of the conferences. "[T]hey believe that what we're doing is that we're pointing the finger -- making some of the mistakes that the church has made in the past -- and we're not doing that at all," he confesses. "Indeed ... we're helping people to understand that this is a mission field that we need to reach for Christ."
Haley acknowledges that in the past, some in the body of Christ have done "very harmful" things in dealing with homosexuals. But many churches, he says, are finally dealing with the issue in a more constructive and loving way.
"Now we're coming and saying that, for those of us that were part of the gay and lesbian community, here's how better to reach us," he explains. "So what's been interesting is when gay and lesbian activists have come into the conference, one of the things they will say after the conference is, while they didn't agree with everything that was said, the tone in which it was said was very different than what they expected."
The site of the June 25 conference is Northshore Baptist Church in Seattle. Other "Love Won Out" conferences are scheduled for Birmingham, Alabama, in September, and Boston in October.

Politics
I was over at the whigs site and he has and article from( I guess )our Cousin Kyle in which Kyle makes a strong appeal for one of the basic principles of our Nation. So basic in fact that it is our national mantra which I suppose I could expound on prolifically providing plenty of links to sites showing my proof that is virtually the by word in describing our national attitude. But that is not the focus of this particular diatribe.
For a moment I thought to copy this article to my site and then dissect it inserting "the art of compromise, " where ever there was the word politic or politics. I have since thought better of it and decided to let this be only a definition, with comments.
We use the word politics in coupling with just about everything we do these days and even if we don't use the word directly we imply it. For instance in rearing our families, handing out sentences to criminals, getting along with co-workers,personal relationships including marriage which I might add today 50% of them are crap.
Compromise is a good thing in it's proper place but frankly I hate that word because I have seen Politicians practice the art of conpromise to the extreme detriment of our nation.
I am quite sure that many of you could come up with areas where compromise is not in the best interest of anyone.
To cousin Kyle sorry about this but you would have to ask Al what's up with me. He has so stated in a blog about a year ago that indeed I was a scourge. I suppose it may be so but my intent is to see that people understand that when God says all things in moderation and everything has it's place and time, it really is a matter of paying close attention to what the words really mean and not the general use of today.
We have so blurred the use of our language that it has become difficult to make a statement of fact without the fear that someone will misunderstand what is said consequently getting into some potentially crazed debate with another equally fervrent individual when you both may actually believe in the identical cause.
As far as your article and it's intent to remind us of what freedom is and to encourage us to continue to embrace it I applaud. But the word Politics cannot enter into freedom. There is no compromising freedom for to compromise it is to compromise with not freedom so you end up with only half of what you started with. To me that is half slavery. I cannot and will not live a life in half slavery. I will fight to the death over this one.

Since when
Something about this makes me sad or irritated or angry- I am not sure even though it doesn't effect me. Something is not right about it. Well you judge and mabey I need some input as well.
The exerpt is from Aol news.
"The Werneckes have never said that they would deny medical treatment to their daughter if she was ill and getting worse," Horne told state juvenile court Judge Carl Lewis.
Lewis called off a custody hearing scheduled for next week unless the Werneckes could present compelling evidence that Katie was still in remission. Horne said the treatments were set for next week.
The judge said that the parents would be allowed to attend the treatments but that doctors would make the decisions.
"Early evidence indicates that given opportunity to abscond with the child, they did. And no way would I give them opportunity to do that again now," the judge said.

TV Land's 'Happy Face' On Homosexuality Masks Tragic Lifestyle
By Ed Thomas and Jenni ParkerJune 8, 2005
(AgapePress) - A pro-family website is warning television audiences that TV Land, a cable network that advertises a schedule of well-known, classic, family-friendly television shows, is airing a special that promotes the homosexual agenda this month. A recent e-mail alert from OneMillionDads.com notes that the show called "Inside TV Land: Tickled Pink," which celebrates homosexual undercurrents running through television history, is airing on TV Land throughout June.
TV Land is touting the "Tickled Pink" as the first program to look at how and why certain classic television shows "have hit the funny bone for generations of gay viewers." The show promises to celebrate a variety of TV shows and situation comedies that have commanded huge homosexual fan bases, and will "get the inside scoop from the talented people that created them."
Ed Vitagliano, a media researcher for the American Family Association, says although "Tickled Pink" does not promote the latest political issues of the pro-homosexual movement, the one-hour special does appear to have some disturbing objectives. One thing the show seems to do, he observes, is to hint that Hollywood has somehow "outsmarted" mainstream culture for decades by "sneaking" homosexual characters and motifs into television programs.
All this "underscores the fact that there really is an agenda in Hollywood amongst those who are homosexual," Vitagliano says. And its chief aim, he asserts, has apparently been "to kind of broach the subject [of homosexuality] to straight America in as subtle a way as possible with the hopes that they'll be more accepting of the political movement."
Upon watching "Tickled Pink," Vitagliano says it was "disturbing" to have Hollywood's homosexual agenda so solidly confirmed. "In some ways it was worse than I expected it to be," he notes, "because it really celebrated the fact that there were people in Hollywood who were trying to get a message across without the viewer really knowing it -- at least if they were straight."
In addition to focusing on actual "gay code" or subtext in some shows, Vitagliano says the TV Land special also examined how homosexuals watch many of the same shows popular with heterosexual viewers, yet interpret or experience them differently -- through a homosexual lens, so to speak. "Tickled Pink" suggests that popular shows such as "The Golden Girls," "Batman," or "Chips" that feature close same-sex friendships have often been viewed by homosexuals as affirmations of their lifestyles -- a fact the pro-family reviewer says he found sad.
"Even in TV shows that have nothing to do with homosexuality," Vitagliano notes, "apparently gays and lesbians have often latched onto any hint of a close relationship or spiritual intimacy between characters of the same sex and have read a homosexual subtext into it, desperate to find something -- anything -- that will give them a sense of normalcy." Or, in other cases, he adds, indications are that homosexuals often view shows about characters with supernatural powers and hidden abilities, such as "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie," and see characters who must keep secrets or lead hidden lives as somehow paralleling the "closeted" homosexual existence.
"I watched the show with a deep sense of sadness," Vitagliano notes. "It made me realize all the more how much Christians need to reach out to gays and lesbians, who are often extremely lonely people." Not that homosexuals are to be pitied, he adds, "any more than we are all to be pitied by God." But although many homosexuals may feel they are lacking intimacy and a sense of connection with people of their same sex, the AFA spokesman says, "What they really need is a relationship with Jesus."
While the pro-family media researcher found the revelations of "Tickled Pink" unsettling, he points out that many in the entertainment industry, including those interviewed for the show, appear to be pleased or even amused by the fact that Hollywood has managed to slip in pro-homosexual "subliminal messages" through its programming.
"The people on the show celebrated that -- they thought it was funny," Vitagliano says. Still, he insists, no matter how TV Land may try to "put a happy face" on homosexuality, that lonely lifestyle is obviously no laughing matter. According to OneMillionDads.com, "Tickled Pink" will be shown repeatedly on TV Land's schedule all this month, airing at least nine times.

Another conundrum
The state of California has a law legalizing pot for medicinal purposes. The Supreme court has just confirmed the Federal Governments right to arrest and try violators of a federal law specifically forbidding the practice.
I guess that means that the State of California will not be helping nor even legally able to assist the Federal Government in the enforcement of Federall law.
I am wondering if your wondering or if you even care about what I would do if I were the State of California.
If the Feds want to do the investigating then by laws of California the State Government may not assist in any way.
That is what I would do.
As for the question of whether Marijuana is effective as a pain reliever, I don't know but I believe the conspiracy in this matter may lie with the drug manufactures who could lose billions of dollars from an easy to acquire natural substance.
Also this particular instance is making me rethink the idea of a currently illegal substance being legalized for prescription by DR's.
I have to say I don't know at this time, but several medical studies should be done to find out.
Also you should know that I will continue to treat strange chemicals that may or may not be perscribed with the same disdane. NIMBIICHI(Not in my body if I can help it)
Not to be confused with numb b___h which would mean paralized broad.

Conundrums
The U.S. is not a good place to work anymore. If it is not a good place to work then it is not a good place to start a business. No businesses no need for workersand no need for businesses.
Keep on lying people we are getting there.
What is good for workers is good for the U.S. and at this time in history good for the world for as we all know We are the greatest market place.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Living in Babylon
I just read this article today in the Seattle Times and was astonished. I've been preaching that the way to solve the whole health insurance mess is to just not have health insurance. That without health insurance, the cost of doing business for doctors would go down a LOT. Less staffing costs, less paperwork, etc. At the same time, you wouldn't see these inflated rates being charged, since the doctors don't need to play the game of getting 100% of what they need while only being paid 60% of what they charge.
Well, surprise, surprise. The free-market system works! There is a pharmacy in Lynnwood that is cash-only. No insurance at all is accepted, billed, anything. The pharmacy reports that this has decreased their staffing costs alone by 30%, and the prescription drugs there are priced competitively with the prices in Canada.
Of course, there is the predictable grumbling from the Insurance Commissioner, where, "The insurance commissioner is considering new regulations for such practices", a spokeswoman said. Of course. God forbid that anything run TOO efficiently for the government bureaucrats to make sense of it.
And of course the obligatory reference to "low-income people" not being able to afford a doctor on retainer through a cash-only basis, etc. (is someone forcing "low-income people" to do this? I must've missed that part...)
Anyway, it's nice to see that a few people are going against the flow of big insurance, and the free-market system is prevailing yet again.

Anyway, it's nice to see that a few people are going against the flow of big insurance, and the free-market system is prevailing yet again.

The Basic Ranking
Only 3 U.S. institutions out of the 15 included in the May 23-26 poll command a high degree of confidence from at least half of Americans: the military, the police, and the church or organized religion. (In previous years, banks, the presidency, the Supreme Court, newspapers, and public schools have each crossed the 50% threshold.) The 74% rating given to the military continues to make it the institution engendering the most confidence of any of those tested -- and by a healthy margin.
Several organizations are rated highly by between 40% and 50% of Americans. These are banks, the presidency, the medical system, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Close to 4 in 10 Americans (37%) say they have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the public schools.
Roughly one in four have high confidence in television news, newspapers, the criminal justice system, organized labor, Congress, and big business.
Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are rated highly by only 17% of Americans.
I suppose I could give my anylisis of these numbers but that may be redundant. All compliments of Gallup Pole. Link on side bar.

Have You Ever Noticed That women Think About This More Than Men
Concerning strange odors and maybe you muse over why I installed a giant vent fan in our private room (privy)?.
It is cause I know that my crap stinks and I am not interested in covering it up. I am interested in removing it to a place that is more suited to dealing with it than the inside of my house. I have been to those houses that keep a can of rose air freshener on the back of a commode. After a particularly unpleasant event in the biff they try to suffocate the offense with a deluge from these devices and then as chance has it you follow in behind them and of course the cloud has barely cleared up. You can smell this wonderful combination of rose and gas. Why bother smelling the roses any more? I have been permenantly scarred with this horror. Every time I smell roses there is a taint of odor that I reason is not there but I can,t get out of my head.
And how about this one, a rose flavored wedding cake, oh my.
Hears one that will ruin your desire for candy. I have had an ongoing battle with sinus infection and well for a long time couldn't see a dentist. The battle over halitosis raged on and on. Ever been in a conversation with a person with halitosis? It knocks you back a couple of feet. Problem is if you have it the only way to tell is to watch other people and if they suddenly bend away from you and a look of ewe comes over them.....You get the idea. Sometimes it gets pretty bad. So bad that it disgusts even yourself and if you get a little lazy and don't take care of it then eat something-you get halitosis flavored what you eat.....Like candy.
If your wondering-ROFL.
Just my little contribution to the health of America from personal experience. Kind of a forced cut back on your food with some wonderful thoughts. By the way; these things have really happend to me, haven't they happend to you?

I got the biggest sandbox
It all started when my wife and I decided to get a pool. Above ground soft side. I insisted that we install it in the back yard inside the fence. Now here is the interesting part I really don't have a back yard,to say it is a little steep. No flat spots. So I began by building a terrace with landscape timbers about 2 ft tall and then having 16 tons of sand hauled in. I figure I moved that 16 tons with 5000 swings of a common spade shovel in one day. The area to fill was 16 ft by 32 ft and I couldn't,t throw the sand that far so I had to move it ten ft or so at a time. Aerobics here I come la la la aaaa ouch. Blister heaven. It works out to about 50 tons of sand. Lucky it was sand-easier to handle. Man what a pump.
After that I leveled an area 16 by 16 to within 1/2 inch accuracy. Installed and set the pool( nothing like a refreshing dip whenever ya want to). Anyway after it was all done I got a chance to look over my handy work and as always there were things I wished I would have done but all in all it would hold. Still didn't feel like I had accomplished much until today this Sunday at 3PM. I jumped in. AHHHHHHH! Now I feel like I did something. Now to keep the neighborhood cats out of it. Hmm.
Oh and as for something else I have that NOOOOO one else in the world has. I have the worlds largest btrm vent fan-for a residence, especially for a 20 sq ft bathroom.. 800 CFM. I installed it just above the commode. It'll make the hair on your head stand straight up but I tell there is no problems with strange odors if ya know what I mean.

Ann Coulter You are Sharp and Fierce Love that eagle eye
What left-wing PBS bias?by Ann Coulter (5/25)When Ken Tomlinson, chair of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, suggested that PBS was maybe a smidgen left of center, Moyers began his lengthy public nervous breakdown. Already well-known as an insufferable jerk, it turns out Moyers is also a crazy megalomaniac, too.

What was my wife saying about idiots at work?
Well I have refrained from blogging about the idiots that I work with. Lord knows that there have been a bunch.
Let me tell you about my former employer. He is currently under investigation from the IRS to the state licensing board governing his license. The least he can hope for is just to lose his license. He should just move back to Alabama and give it up. He's an idiot.
And now to my current employer. To my knowledge knowingly hired a guy who lied during the application and hiring phase. The rumor that I heard was that he told everyone that he had to give 2 weeks notice to his then current employer but when the office tried to contact him his girlfriend told them that he wasn't working. Refer to several of my previous blogs concerning liars. This guy hasn't said the same thing twice. He is the biggest (I mean this in the most literal sense)damned liar I have ever had to put up with in my life not to mention that his mouth and his skill level in his job don't even come close to matching. My problem is that if this Idiot is the kind of man that this corporation is willing to hire well then I had some really great job offers that I turned down for this stupid company. They are idiots.
The thing of it is that it has been a major curse for any company to dis me. For instance one company that disappointed me lost 25% of their business (thats 15 milion in sales to you who are curious). Another company all of the employees that were apart of pissing against the wall(old testament biblical) with me are no longer employed in such good jobs and their lives now suck. Here is another example. One place that severely irritated me was turned into a 4 story high pile of rubble. One company turned from a descent little co. to bankrupt.
Time after time no matter the people if they fell to the wickedness of this world and believed the rumors or played their little games their jobs ended, careers stopped, companies failed. I may not have ever understood the reasons for their demise but I know that God who knows the thoughts of every-body does. It is not me you have to worry about it is God. As long as I am willing to turn my back to them then the not so notion that vengece is mine saith the Lord applies. In other words I am not getting even.......God is. You people aren't fighting me, YOU idiots are fighting God. Knock it off so I don't have to lament over you cumquats not listening to me and falling to your destruction. Oh wait a minute I'm just gonna forget about ya's.
Why I wondered for so long. All I can tell you is that if my present employer doesn't get the proverbial stuff together they too will fall off the mountain and I will carry on. By the way my recommendation for the owner of this place is to sell the mega termite infested stink trap before it takes him down. I hear that there is a slum lord that wants it and if I were him I'd sell while the selling was good. To those that work thier----waaaaa. Good luck cause since I don't believe in luck that is all any of you will have. To the next employer. Don't let any idiots near me cause if you nincompoops do? Well lets just say that I won't get in the way of God punishing you ie. I won't intervene nor intercede for you. Another way of putting it is it's your destruction not mine.
Be smart people and start believing that God is swift to punish and I have a trail of destroyed people and businesses to prove it. Also God is extremely thorough. None escape. You people should learn from the previous idiots and prove that maybe even fools can get a little wisdom. By the way I only wished them well and they only treated me ill.
Ok, now who's next on the idiot parade Next!

I am very glad to report that Living in Babylon is back in the blogging bis. Though he has been back for a while one of his recent entries draws my attention for it's absurdity and proof that liberals and devocrats are collectively insane. That's what they get for turning their back on God. NUTS! By the way his link is on my side bar. Also I want to say that with people like him and several others I know that Wis. is in good hands.
...And all this is after a recent (but little reported on) study showing that well over 30% of public school teachers in big cities send their children to private schools!! They recognize the abysmal failure most of our public schools have become, yet keep resisting the charter school and voucher program movements because of their best buddy, the good 'ol NEA! All the while, sending their own children to better schools...I wonder how they explain this to the parents of the children they teach?

American Evangelicalism: A Non-Prophet Organization

“If Christ were to go to the Christian Booksellers Convention
[CBA] and see all the crap being hawked with his name on it,
he could spend all day there turning over the tables. The reason
why we have a problem with this, and not with the account
of Christ cleansing the temple two thousand years ago, is that
in this scenario, Christ is messing with our tables, our profits,
our religious scams. Everybody is against two thousand year
old sins. But it takes a prophet to be against the currently
approved abominations.” -Douglas Wilson
You know what the church needs more than Joan Rivers needs her plastic surgeon, a case of support hose and a lifetime supply of Xanax? We need ten thousand John get-out-of-my-face-and-get-on-your-knees-before-God the Baptists. That’s right: we need a mega-dose of truly prophetic ministers to lead us in these days of adversity.
Now, when I speak of our need of prophets, I’m not talking about those charismatic/Pentecostal fortune-telling soothsayers, AKA Dionne Warwick, who can tell you your 7th grade locker number and your mother’s maiden name and predict that six months from now you’ll be arrested at Miami International Airport as you try to sneak 11 joints through airport security in your lipstick case. That’s not the prophetic ministry I’m speaking of.
The prophetic ministers I’m talking about are the thunder-clapping, devil-threatening, idol-smashing, truth dealers who can effectively lead the body of Christ out of the fog of its current compromise, cowardice and general fuzziness and into the light of conviction, courage and straightforward clarity.
The Church is currently up against difficulties and deceptions, within the Church and around the world, that border on the abysmally black hole of the Dark Ages.
As if that weren’t enough for committed Christians to deal with, the events of 9/11 and the last three years have added two heaping tablespoons of Islamic Cayenne pepper to the “let’s get rid of Christianity” soup.
Check it out. We have to deal with Marilyn Manson wearing a unitard with uber-white quail legs, at the same time we have to deal with secular humanism growing within our culture faster than the lint ball in James Gandolfini’s navel … at the same time as we are fending off Islamic radicals who view us as infidels. They see our nation, freedom and culture as “the great Satan” who would love nothing more than to see Charlie’s Angels dressed in berkas.
Our mission field in postmodern America is governed by demons that make demons tremble. We’re up against world rulers of wickedness and spiritual forces of darkness for which a simple “kum ba ya, my Lord” will not suffice.
As I see it, the Church has two options:
1) Run like Tommy Lee after accidentally stepping into a luncheon led by Rosie O’Donnell, or
2) Stand up, shape up and solidly enter into the spiritual fray with tools to tackle the powers of darkness, head on.
I’ll argumentatively argue for the latter argument, thanks.
It’s time for courageous Christian men and women to step up to the plate and for all the little tinker pot girlie men to retreat to the stands and sit there with Mummy until the dust clears.
In times of crisis our area of critical need is for leaders who can think widely and deeply, who can lead courageously and bring our great nation and the Church through spiritual obfuscation and demonic debilities. We must resurrect biblical truth, and apply it even-handedly to all of society during these days of decline.
This means Lamb Chop, Kermit and all Evangelical marionettes occupying pulpits and pews must sit down and hush because the times demand prophets.
We need prophets who could care less about:
· Political Correctness
· Style over Substance
· What the Masses and Wusses are Yapping for
· Being Popular
My ClashPoint is this: I’m not a doom and gloomer. It is not as if we are approaching the end of civilization’s road; it’s not even the beginning of the end. Most likely, it is the end of the beginning … who knows where we stand from an eschatological view point? However, I do know where we stand from an ecclesiastical and missiological point of view. We stand where we have always been supposed to stand, as the pillar of truth who proclaim it publicly and globally, applying it fully to all of life.
And guess what, Church? Just as Ringo said, “You know it don’t come easy.”
Come on … we don’t need anymore nicety-nice clergy in charge of churches that don’t equip us to face the real issues confronting our church and culture. We can do without spineless crowd pleasers, can’t we? We really do not need narcissistic, solipsistic, pseudo saints. What we need are prophets, stalwart sons and daughters who will speak and defend truth, freedom and human rights in the face of atheism, lies and hellbent special interest groups!

I really would that people especially Christians understand including the scholarly types that what we may have experienced from 1963 till approx 2000 may have very well been from the machinations of these two kingdoms.
Christians have known that things that are weird were going on yet none that I have ever talked to ever said that we were in the tribulation. No preachers sermon that I heard or a sermon that mentioned of the end ever said that we were in the tribulation. The fact is that the tribulation is going to be far worse than even the dark ages when the plague was attacking the human race. In fact it is quite understandable that people would think that those were the days prophesied about. Still man has not seen the level of death and destruction that shall herald in the tribulation. And there shall be more even after that. Most biblical scholars do agree that for 7 years the world shall be in such a quandary as to be collectively insane and would completely destroy itself if God does not intervene. And he will.
Dan 11:27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
I think I will hunt up all the verses from the Book of Daniel that reiterate these very words. It is as if God by Daniel is continuously reminding us that this is not the end of times but it is to happen before the end of times yet is close to the end of times. Alexander the great and his activities were not at the end of times. Ok I will and I will post them in this entry.
Dan 8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
Dan 8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
Dan 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
Dan 11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships;
I wonder some if Hitler doesn't fit the descriptor of this particular individual found in Dan 11:40 if so I think that all the talk about Hitler being alive for so long ....... I would have to try and describe the spiritual perspective of this and I deign not to.
That is another blog.......Maybe.

Dan 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
Dan 11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships;
I wonder some if Hitler doesn't fit the descriptor of this particular individual found in Dan 11:40 if so I think that all the talk about Hitler being alive for so long ....... I would have to try and describe the spiritual perspective of this and I deign not to.
That is another blog.......Maybe.

Now what were you people saying about centralized and socialized government being better. Phht. Of course we have to remind ourselves that Europeans are going extinct anyway what with the low birth rate and all.
Here is an article fromTownHall.com with some stats that are astonishing.
Since the early 1990s, European unemployment has averaged 11 percent, compared to 4 percent in the United States.
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, EU countries have not created a single, net private sector job since 1970, compared to 50 million jobs added in the United States.
