Turned 66 in August of 2019, a little over a year into retirement. Now live on my farm in southern Missouri Ozarks. At this point I have 4 daughters and 8 grandchildren and 3 dogs.

The Hope of Light Beckons as Darkness Approaches

You can see the pieces moving all across the board. Syria suddenly gets overrun by the local rent a terrorist bunch, who immediately bow down and express their goodwill towards the genocide entity as the monster devours anything and everything that gains its malevolent attention among the rubble of all that is left of Syria, the Ukranian raid into Russia is on it’s last leg, but do not despair – other places are heating up, Raytheon stocks are safe for a bit longer. It even looks like the CIA is trying to pick a fight with Türkiye. Meanwhile Erdogan assails the Kurds – when is it too much? Passenger plane looks like it might have been in the wrong place at the wrong time near Azerbaijan – maybe done on purpose, but I don’t think so. Of course, the mainstream news is all bleating that Russia did it, and they may have, but it would have been an accident, after all the caution he uses in Ukraine, he’s shown the world he doesn’t like to kill civilians, so this kind of thing is not Putin’s MO. Israel is the only country that would intentionally shoot down a commercial plane, but they would be making videos and bragging about it, so it probably was some kind of accident. The China/Taiwan issue keeps bouncing back and forth to the front burner, but it is certainly the proverbial powder keg.

In case you haven’t noticed, Satan has acquired lordship over the whole world now, or at least enough of it to proceed with his evil intentions. If you read the Bible (please, please do!) in Revelation it speaks to the last days and the apocalyptic events that portend. It ain’t going to be pretty here on this rock for the next little while, but if you have your seat belt fastened (made your life right with the Lord), you have nothing to fear. The servants of evil who lead our nation, probably most nations, but the US for sure, want control of every aspect of our lives. They already know where you live, where you shop, what you buy, all the people you know or with whom you associate. As an example of this omniscience, I was checking myself out at Walmart and I was purchasing, among other things, four identical towels. After fumbling through one of them looking for a barcode tag, I decided to just ring the one four times so I could avoid the hassle of having to unfold each of them to find tags on them. Then I took the other three out of the cart and put them straight into the bags, and it looked like I’d hit the jackpot on a slot machine with lights, buzzers and so forth going off. I wasn’t aware, but there is a camera that films you as you check out and someone, or something, didn’t like my purchasing arrangement with my towels. I’m not going to go into the details of whether or not I think that kind of info gathering is right or wrong, just suffice it to say that when you walk out in public nowadays, your entire existence is on display. Even in your home, that smart TV and phone are monitoring every word uttered, and that information is going somewhere.

The powers that be, it would appear, are extremely paranoid about what the citizenry might be up to. Red flags go up when the wrong words are used on all social media platforms, we all know that. People dance around terminology related to Covid and vaccines (that one is particularly worrisome for them, because if law and order ever does return to this nation, there’s plenty of prima facie evidence that actual murder was taking place with intent, and heads will surely roll, if not enforced by the demonic system. Maybe the people will finally realize what has to be done to get this ship sailing properly. I guess the thing that sticks out like a sore thumb is the lengths Satan goes to locate and keep tabs on his enemies by all the (unconstitutional) spying his CIA, NSA, and FBI lackeys are engaging in, while all along, God knows what’s in our heart, to which Satan must not have full access, because he tries to make up for it with security cameras and smart TVs. God doesn’t need to spy on us – since He knows our heart anyway, He is willing to take our word.

Meanwhile, Americans and so many others, walk in perpetual fear of them, and you have to know that makes the bad guys happy. Their master has hired them to create mayhem, to imprison humans who God created, to harm and kill other human beings and they do it with gusto. Recently the feds publicly announced the DEA goons would stop stealing money from citizens at the Atlanta airport. Now I know enough about the proclivities of law enforcement to extend their authoritarian boundaries somewhat, to know they would not have voluntarily ceded that cash cow, so someone up the food chain – probably Delta Airlines management ordered the feds to curtail their thievery from citizens in their airline hub. Yes, ordered – the big boys with the money control even feds and spooks. A video had been published not long ago that specifically pointed out the Atlanta airport as a hotspot for federal law enforcement robbing innocent people of their cash at gunpoint – some nonsense they called “consensual search”, so they had to make a public issue about discontinuing their crimes there. My problem with this is, there are scores of international airports in the US, but (I guess due to the video documentary that exposed them at Atlanta,) they only mention stopping at that particular airport – what about stopping all the armed robbery at all airports and elsewhere, of American citizens? The theft of assets practice was authorized by corrupt officials – known as Civil Asset Forfeiture. Without a doubt one of the most anti-American, anti-Constitutional pieces of legislation to ever come out of any legislative entity in America. But that’s where we are. Lawmakers everywhere understand where their protection is and will be coming from, so they did this to make sure the enforcement goons stay on their side. And in the public narrative they call it forfeiture to make it sound like someone is volunteering or agrees to it. You could take the most notorious criminals from the nation’s prisons and hire them to perform this “law enforcement” practice, and it would be no different from a morality perspective, however the hardened criminals might be more prone to show mercy. The FBI, and most other law enforcement entities are all on board with razing the constitution and turn on their countrymen completely when serving their masters. They rob people of their money and take the swag back to the precinct to divvy up the booty. Our nation is upside down.

There is, after 23 years, a sizeable portion of the American population that still believe a gang of fellows who couldn’t land a Cessna were able to take command of passenger jets and fly them into buildings. If you’ve ever flown in a commercial jetliner, have you ever looked out the window towards the ground. Ok if you imagine you’ve got the equivalent ability to fly as the “terrorists”, and you probably do, how on earth would you be able to turn the plane around and get it going in the right direction to get to NYC. Too high to recognize landmarks even if you did know where they were, they had no idea of directional headings, nor which way they needed to go. They couldn’t read an altimeter nor operate any of the complicated equipment, but they were able to execute extreme maneuvers even seasoned pilots say they either couldn’t do at all or that would be very difficult for even en experienced pilot. Anyways, a lot of Americans still believe that narrative, so they can easily be convinced that the people from whom the money is stolen are really drug dealers.

Not enough of us are looking to God for our salvation from this evil trap we’re in. Satan is coming at us from every direction, using every person who he can corrupt with money or Epstein books, no matter their positions in society. He fights dirty – right now he is celebrating – he has a full-blown genocide going on where soldiers are competing with each other for murder tallies of children and infants, and our benevolent leaders carp about self-defense among other lies and there’s no stopping it. We have important people in high places who could shut down this atrocity with a phone call, or at worst a few missiles, but such is Satan’s control over them, none will lift a finger. Robert Wood, the United Nations rep from the US, epitomizes the persona of Satan with his never-ending stream of lies and deceit in the service of Zionists, and with his remarkable ability to speak the lies as though he believes them, it’s a real talent, but there are so many ways Satan can deceive people, Woods gets lost in the throngs. Listen to liars like Erdogan, Sisi, and Abdullah “harshly condemning” the genocide, but where is their action? Their orders come from Tel Aviv via Langley. The Zionists and all the spy agencies they have captured in the US are the ones running the show in the Middle East, and most of the “opposition” countries are putting on a PR show for their people, and doing nothing (“strongly-worded” letters and diplomatic protests are nowhere near as effective as shutting off energy supplies or trade, ask the Houthis) and military action, as much as I personally detest it, is sometimes justified. What’s going on in the West Bank, and especially Gaza would certainly justify military intervention in my book. Then there are the dollars that have been stolen from America since December 1913. This money is the hook in Sisi’s jaw. Same with Abdullah – but then the prospects of becoming a modern-day Louis XVI weighs heavily against the American loot, so these guys could do an about-face.

Abdullah is sitting on a tight rope. There are lots of Palestinian citizens in Jordan, and he’s had to go to the extent of getting PR photos of himself helping to push out pallets of aid relief items from an airplane over the besieged Gaza strip to keep his people in check. Think about it – we all know what murderers the Zionists are – if the Zionists didn’t want Gaza to be resupplied, are there any people in the world that would put it past Netanyahu to assassinate Abdullah? If the Zionist hadn’t agreed to allow this photo op for their puppet, it would not have happened without Abdullah being shot down. I wonder how many folks still believe the Zionists didn’t kill Raisi? I bet there were some under the table deals to keep Netanyahu from publicly owning up to that one, especially since they like to show off their willingness, no, their desire, to kill people.

I guess I’m rambling, but the point I’m trying to make is that Satan is in firm control of our world, and that’s not going to change until Jesus gets back. Then, finally, justice will be fully administered and for those of us who believe in Jesus, who have chosen the difficult, but possible path He has put before us, we will finally be able to see Him with our eyes, and hear His voice with our ears, and you can trust that our joy will be unmatched by any event, at any time in the history of mankind.

No man, nor government of man will be able to retrieve our world and restore it to what has been lost – that life of yesterday is gone for good and it’s going to take some getting used to this new normal, which will only be normal for a short time, then another, ad nauseum. It was designed to be this way, there are forces at work which are unimaginably powerful but although they are fearsome, we need not fear them. As long as we hold onto the hem of Jesus’ garment with all our strength, we will emerge from this web of destruction that is becoming the norm for the world. We can all see it plainly now – why are so many people still waiting to try and find Jesus, which is the only Way out. This opportunity is not going to last much longer. And He is such a magnificent Friend – yes, we can call Him our Friend [John 15:15], our Brother [Matt 12:49], our King [Rev 19:16] and more.

Fight the world, or go along with the world? Fighting, spiritually speaking, is the only logical choice when you consider that your own eternity is at stake.

Keep the faith – you are no more than the least, but no less than the greatest of them.

May the abundant blessings of God the Father find and keep us in these troubled times.

We Get the Life We Choose

Image result for fork in the road pics

Whichever way you choose to walk through this life, know that all is binary – you are either walking with good or you have chosen to walk with evil, there is no third way. You were prewired to know right from wrong, so if it ain’t right, it’s wrong. If we seek to emerge into the next life with the highest expectations, then we must resign ourselves to lifestyles on this earth which most do not deem to be desirable – at first glance or first thought. Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor…” and since we know He doesn’t just say things, every word He uttered in His short life on this earth had meanings we are able to understand, although sometime in different ways and even today we are seeing His truths being realized, we must diligently scrutinize His every word. So, if the Lord says the poor are blessed, then I need to take a bigger picture look at my childhood (I did) and find that blessing. Guess what. I found it. It’s really not that hard to figure out poor kids get shamed – even back in my day, kids are kids. So you look for things to do that might get you into trouble, but also that might get you some positive attention from the other kids. Slippery slope, indeed.

I was raised as a poor kid in the old pine thickets of East Texas as the youngest of ten kids our dad raised on the salary of a butane deliveryman. We were among the poorest in neighborhoods of poor folks, and if someone had told us back then that we were blessed, we’d at least have thought they were a bubble out of plumb – back then. Many years have passed since those days of waiting for the school bus in the frost on an old red dirt road, but having lived several lives since then, I’d have to remember those days as the most abundantly blessed of all my years and experiences. I can remember a time when the America I lived in was truly a free country. My dad told me he thought the antiChrist was communism. We said the pledge of allegiance on Monday mornings at school. When we finally got our first TV, I was eight years old and Bonanza was about the most adult of TV shows. In those days prior to “Operation Mockingbird”, we could, for the most part, believe our news people – Walter Cronkite was a folk hero. An innocent time in an innocent country. Then the same bad guys we are dealing with today killed President Kennedy. That incident lifted the lid off our pot of innocence, and it’s been downhill ever since, speeding along at a geometric rate. Little did we know back then how completely we were about to be programmed through that “hellivision”. It didn’t take long for that marvelous TV to become the greatest obstacle to our family togetherness. How can you get to know and stay in touch with each other when everyone’s mind, all their senses are out of the room? Every – single – night.

It all started innocently enough – TV commercials had little songs they called jingles – I can even remember some of the lyrics, “Winston tastes good like a cigarette should’, or “Aren’t you glad you use Dial – don’t you wish everybody did?” and countless others. These marketing techniques were just beginning to take root, and there couldn’t have been a more fertile population on which to foist a capitalist oligarchy takeover – of our nation, and then the world. The TV was in our living room, and although we were a close family in a small room, our minds, our thoughts, our entire beings were miles away from one another. Before when we had each other to talk to and to get to know and with whom we should have continued to grow closer, we, as millions of other families in America, were being torn apart and we relished it – we didn’t know what the underlying purpose of it was about, so were taken totally unaware. I wish there was some way to compare yesterday’s TV’s innocence with what passes for entertainment today in all it’s darkness.

Meanwhile, the Art of the Deal was taking root in dark halls and godless temples, casinos, government buildings the world over. Humanity was being auctioned, traded, sent to death in needless wars, all to appease a select few whom Satan had completely lured over to his side, and were willing to pool their resources to help him to destroy God’s creation and his people. Especially His people – if you are a Christian, that’s you and me. Some people have understood the potential ramifications of standing up to them but have done it anyway. Jesus Christ was the most prominent One of all. Though He stands eternally alone and above all others, there have been a few down through history who were willing to give it all for God. If you think about it, it’s part of the deal, understood over time as a follower of Christ. As we mature in the Spirit, and God knows I wish I’d started before I did, we come to understand concepts and precepts that apply to us as believers, the pre-eminent one being that when we decided to follow Jesus, we set ourselves on the journey of our intended lives so that in time we will have to make a decision as to whether we really believe with all our hearts that Jesus is exactly who He says He is and that the time will come when we will follow Him to the other side.

Deitrich Bonhoeffer is a name we should all remember as the modern-day martyr of Christ we aspire to be. He, as a protestant preacher living in NAZI Germany authored The Cost of Discipleship. It should be required reading for the believer in Jesus Christ. If you’ve not read it I’d advise you to grab a copy to read as this age winds down. Bonhoeffer was a unique man and probably the most faithful disciple you will hear of in modern times (WWII era). If the truth was known, and it will be one day, I’m afraid that a lot of my fellow Christians are going to drop out of the race just as things are becoming interesting! That’s the last course of action a Christian should even allow to pass through their thoughts. We are entering into the last days that we Christians know about, and we also know from prophecy that we’re going to go through some tough times ahead, at least for the near term. What I’m asking is this: What kind of Savoir would allow His followers to willingly go to the slaughter alone? Would He turn His back as we reached our fate? I’m here to tell you He will be there! In all His glory, in a few moments we’ll be forever His! We will not taste that death the enemy has worked so hard to get us to. That enemy is an enemy indeed – THE enemy of mankind, and we have people, our leaders, openly serving every malevolent purpose they can ignite in his service. How many humans, made in the image of God, can they kill? This purpose has become all-consuming for the servants of Satan who serve hm as world leaders.

The bad guys want Christians’ hides with which to adorn their trophy rooms. The only real enemy of Satan on this earth is the reverent Christian with a heart full of God’s love to spread around and damage his (Satan’s) reputation in front of his followers. Satan’s pride was his downfall, and pride is not a pretty defect to have to deal with, but when the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ shows you that it’s a problem for you, I can tell you from experience, you’ll know it. Lust of the flesh, Lust of the world, Pride of life. Pride and vanity bring to men insanity and bring down nations – we’ve seen it – look at Nero, Caligula, Hitler, and now Erdogan and Netanyahu – Benjamin Netanyahu, aka Benzion Mileikowsky. He’s a European of Polish descent, not even a Jew, but that’s how servants of Satan operate – deception. I personally can’t stand to hear his voice, I love him in a spiritual sense, and I have prayed for him – probably not as much as I should, but that man is doing some next-level evil over there in the Holy Land. God’s not going to deal with this man’s blasphemy for long. Netanyahu: in Hebrew it means – The Lord has given... Blasphemous names, anyone?

As you read this post, there are dark characters in secret places, dark characters that haunt places like the Bohemian Grove and the Gaudy Buildings of Westminster or Langley, VA who are plotting the course of the world they hold in their grasp (for only a little while longer). They no longer own their souls, if they ever had souls, some are demons from hell and they’re walking among us, holding joint sessions of congress for their illustrious leader, second cousin of Satan, Netanyahu himself. They control everything in the Western world and are encroaching on Asian Lands like some kind of black cloud of evil, consuming everything, destroying everything. They kill and destroy because that’s what their father the devil has them doing in his service. Do not think you are insulting any of these men by calling them Satanic, for the ones up the food chain take it as a compliment, like you’re putting in a good word for them to their boss. They know they are evil, we don’t have to point that out to them. Destroying works of man, even beneficial ones like hospitals or ancient architecture some hold sacred, it’s all on the list for destruction. I’m convinced that Revelation 18 speaks of the destruction of the US. The descriptions of decadence, wealth, and lavish lifestyles of wealthy Americans fit the description to a T. There are a couple of other places it might be, such as London, or maybe somewhere like Jerusalem, but the overall passage describes the US, and it says it will be destroyed in an hour – wonder how they could do that? The dark guys who control things are going to hand their boss over 250,000,000 million dead human beings, and that’s just in this country. Europe, Africa and Asia will have their numbers too. The vast majority of them will not have been saved, because not enough people like me are out there screaming and hollering for their attention. And not enough of our fellow travelers are listening to those of us that are hollering.

Yes, we’re rapidly approaching the precipice and there are few who will be willing to fall into it’s gaping maw, so when that time comes many will renounce their faith. Even though they’re trading away their eternity, they will pledge themselves to what’s left of their lives in his service. Many Christians will face harsh times because of this requirement to worship some insidious son of Satan while he’s having his hour of fun. To be fair, it’s going to be a tough decision for those who are unprepared for that moment. That’s a critical juncture for us, because without His companionship to give us heart, none of us would be willing to cross that bridge, but my friends, He will be right beside us. Of course He is with us all the time, but in those perilous days, I believe His presence will be so strong as to consume our fear and His love will be exhilarating relief for our troubled souls as we slog through those tribulations and once this thing is over. I’ve written this on earlier posts, but I love to imagine being before Him in His Almighty Glory and hearing Him say “Well done, my good and faithful servant. Enter into My Kingdom.” The definition of success indeed!

Do not be afraid. Be of good cheer, Jesus overcame it and He’s going to make sure we have everything we need when we need it so we can overcome this mess we’re in too. Stay strong, keep the faith. We’ll be in His blessed company soon.

As I said at the beginning, we get the life we choose. If you haven’t begun to trust Him yet, you don’t have to be shy about coming to Jesus Christ for His provident blessings. He stands ready to forgive any and all sins on your record and He will love you and stand by you forever. If you’re not a believer in Jesus Christ, there are Christian ministries all over the world with whom you should get in touch. There are loving people in the Christian ministries who will take you into their lives and teach you about Jesus. You will look back at that decision with the greatest sense of relief you can imagine. You’ll be in His Kingdom!

There are evil people and demons afoot – Jesus can and will help you navigate all the way until you reach your new home – He prepared it for you Himself. The best part of it all is that we’ll all be in the blessed presence of the Father and the Lamb of God – Forever.

May the abundant blessings of God the Father find and keep us all.

Do People Get Addicted to Killing?

What a morning here in the Ozarks! It was really foggy out – almost spooky – with a slight tinge of frost interspersed on the twigs and what’s left of the leaves with water droplets left over from the drenching rain we got yesterday. Started cooling off about daylight and the temperature flirted with freezing until the sun broke out and burned off the mist. I try and get pictures on mornings like this because icy fog makes for some interesting vistas, but considering the state of our world, this morning’s fog just serves to accentuate the dismal mood.

The old pine tree standing eerily in the glazed sunlight hosted some birds singing what sounded like dirges in the fog. Who knows, creatures other than us humans might understand the upheavals this old world is undergoing.

All in all, I guess us folks in the Ozarks have been fortunate as far as the weather goes, because a lot of places in the world have been getting some extreme weather of late. Eastern Great Lakes, Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio are seeing some really crazy early-season snow, Northern California and Lake Tahoe area in Nevada are still digging out from a big blizzard last week. North Carolina and the environs in that part of the country haven’t really begun to recover from the disaster that was Hurricane Helene. Overseas, a nasty cyclone they named Hidaya destroyed northern Madagascar, the poor little island of Mayotte, and blasted into eastern Africa flooding Tanzania and Kenya leaving many casualties, and several places in southeast Asia are being flooded. Spain is recovering from massive flooding on the southeast coast around Valencia, and there are just too many other places suffering from extreme weather to mention here. Besides, even though the elements have been wild, this post isn’t meant to only discuss weather. Weather only kills a fraction of the people killed by other people.

I believe and truly expect that a lot of readers share my belief that the intentional mass slaughters occurring in the world as of this writing are – and have always been – the greatest threat to our existence. It’s really a shame that humanity must claim as part of our species, people who have evolved(?) to some twisted form of imagined godliness in which they believe that it is okay (for them) to kill other human beings, but it is NOT! regardless of the excuses or justifications they try to come up with. Think about it, we have a written history – okay, partially written in some cases, going way back – of human “civilization” having been around for several thousand years, and although you’d think becoming able to coexist with each other would have been a priority through this extensive period of time, it definitely has not; even today we still witness people who inexplicably and continuously behave like savage beasts toward their fellow homo sapiens. Why? It looks like it’s because some groups of people do not believe they are human equals – others are beneath them. While the numbers of folks with this barbaric mindset are relatively minimal within the populations, some of them somehow rise to positions of power and authority, thus become able to perpetrate their venomous evil upon vast numbers of those who are undeserving of it and most people of the world who still possess some degree of moral clarity are aghast to witness it. Furthermore, I believe the creatures that float to the top invariably gain their power through deals with the devil.

I also harbor a belief that some might find crazy, but if you think it through, it might make sense. One of Satan’s biggest weapons is that he is able to cause an insidious phenomenon, at least in the hearts of his most wicked servants whereby they not only murder, but they actually become addicted to it. When men are free from accountability for killing other human beings, many of them will do it without compunction and once they start, they even seem to become dependent on some kind of high that must come with such brutality. Ted Bundy spoke of something like this by describing having a defenseless victim at knife point and thus feeling like “god” as he sensed their fear as he proceeded to murder them.

This abhorrent phenomenon of addiction to killing by creatures who rise to the top gets passed down like some kind of insidious (and contagious) disease – to their underlings. Next thing you know there are whole populations with armies who engage in the sheer evil practice of killing other humans, just for the sake of killing them. The only things that normally keep these people in line are laws and/or the threat of retribution, but for people like Bundy and Jack the Ripper, or Benjamin Netanyahu, laws aren’t even enough to dissuade them. In the grisly conditions that arise when there are no laws against murder, like what’s going on in Gaza, many otherwise normal people will readily engage in it. Have you noticed how they cling to the defense of the genocide going on in Gaza as being a “war”? The very fact that they bother to try and defend it shows they know it’s wrong. They know it’s wrong, but they also know they won’t be held accountable – at least in this life.

Interestingly enough though, there are some who simply refuse to kill others, but they are surprisingly few. Most of them are called Christians, and the faithful ones behave as Jesus Christ instructed them, including such practices as praying for their adversaries. Although the enemy enjoys killing everyone, Christians are of course, Satan’s chief enemies and the bad guys always prefer killing them, but they seem to enjoy killing Arabic Islamists with just as much enthusiasm.

One result of being able to murder without retribution (and the ensuing addiction to killing) is what I suppose could be considered a “withdrawal”, or the behavior they display when they are threatened with becoming unable to kill anymore. It seems that they fly into a complete and inexplicable rage when their authority to murder is so much as challenged. Think about drug addiction denial and how the obvious addict reacts when he/she is confronted about it. Remember when people began to question Obama’s murder by drone program. If I remember correctly, the government was actually threatening to prosecute people for openly discussing on social media platforms whether or not Obama had the legal right to authorize the assassination of citizens of other countries (the conversation even included American citizens) with this covert program. The point here is, they got all twisted up about people questioning their ability to murder, thus exhibited the subsequent rage of which I’m speaking. I think most of this inexplicable outrage was precipitated from one of the chief thrones of Satan (aka CIA HQ) in Langley, Virginia. On a side note, word has it that a lot of Afghan peasants who were murdered by Obama’s drones were guilty of nothing more than just having a cell phone – which made them targetable. Don’t forget the occasion that led to a (way too brief) firestorm when it was made public that the US military defended America by slaughtering those young Afghan boys out gathering firewood.

As to the hissy fit they throw when their murderous behavior challenged, a similar angry reaction is evinced today when protesters or other people discuss whether or not the Zionist military has the right to slaughter those poor Palestinians. They simply come unglued when someone suggests that it is wrong (for them) to kill innocent people. By their rules, no one else is ever allowed to kill – just them – the ones who are doing it. It is also understood (by them) that those being killed have absolutely no right to any defense of their own, i.e. Oct 7, 2023. They get completely enraged when someone suggests they stop killing; it’s one of the craziest, and I believe least understood, aspects of this genocide. Those monsters absolutely believe they have the God-given right to shoot, torture, starve, or perpetrate whatever evil they can contrive (raping prisoners) on the Palestinians (or Lebanese or Syrians, etc.), and anyone who questions that “right” is instantly guilty of the most offensive and extreme heresy – antisemitism – they go off displaying a berserk volcanic rage similar to that evoked by anyone questioning their version of their ancestors’ misfortune during WWII.

When the question of impunity for murder (by Zionists) is breached, those who support this genocide, be it the actors themselves, or the evil entities that lurk in the Rayburn Building or simply anyone on the offending nation supporters’ (AIPAC) payroll – are programmed to attack anyone, regardless of position or nationality, with that inexplicable and guttural viciousness unheard of anywhere this side of hell. They even put this irrational behavior on full display in the United Nations assemblies for the world to see. Simply put, the servants of Satan have an unquenchable desire to end the earthly lives of other human beings and vociferously object when someone insinuates they do not have this right. The victims don’t even have to be their enemies – in one instance, they intentionally shot their own soldiers who had escaped from resistance captors and were unclothed, showing they had no weapons. Indeed, they were even yelling in Hebrew for help, but the murder addicts behind the scopes had already filled their needles and were salivating at the opportunity to relish the coveted fix – one that comes from ending human life – and bedamned if they were friendlies. They constantly bomb areas where they know their own hostages are kept; they practice their despicable Hannibal doctrine, ostensibly to prevent their enemies from having captives with which they might gain negotiating traction (as if that might be a reasonable excuse to murder their own people). When they engage in it, they are simply taking advantage of new opportunities to kill, and again and as always, it doesn’t matter who. This “Hannibal doctrine” was created, I believe, as just another cover for killing people. When someone is at the mercy of murder addicts controlled by Satan, they die – regardless of who they are. The Zionist is allowed under the Talmud to cheat, steal, and kill the Goyim (anyone outside the “tribe”), but killing their own even goes against their own despicable tenets, so anyone can easily see that the act of killing is itself the sole objective of these monsters. They, and the Quisling politicians their bosses have bought and inserted into western governments, spout off about “self-defense”, but this broken record is becoming more and more transparent even for the most deceived of human beings, the average American, even they are beginning to see what is actually happening.

Almost everyone can agree on homicide’s addictive nature when it concerns serial murderers like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy – most are willing to agree those guys were addicted to murder, but when it occurs as a state-sanctioned operation, instead of calling out this addiction for what it is, they rationalize it, never admitting it’s an addiction. Of course, the identity of the (((state))) which is doing it greatly influences the diagnosis, at least in bought-out western governments. Almost any other country’s governments would be met with swift and vicious retribution by the “civilized” world for behaving like this, but not (((this one))). Their government level perpetrators have, over time, become more deceptive, but still use arguments that are as insane as they are. It’s the best Satan can do for now and their rationalizations are of no use to sane, moral people, and this insidious behavior is doomed to suffer retribution one day.

You can count on the fact that the slaughter of innocents will end, and end suddenly – when our Savior comes back. His antagonists didn’t have much respect for a poor itinerant preacher back in the day, but when He returns this time, there are some murderers who are going to be astonished and terrified to see Him as the Son of the Almighty God in His magnificent and awe-inspiring glory.

Don’t buy into the lies they use to try and justify what they’re doing. It’s simply murder for the sake of murdering – there’s no self-defense involved – unless you consider a massive number of bullets into the body of a five-year-old girl (and thousands of other infants and young children) to be self-defense. Don’t marvel either, when you hear of the inexplicable numbers of suicides of IOF soldiers – though most of them are undoubtedly possessed by demons, the murderers themselves are human, originally created in the image of God, thus having a human psyche that is not programmed for what they are doing, and their malfeasance becomes too much of a burden on (whatever vestiges left of) their consciences. On the other hand, their kinsmen, the civilian Zionists not only condone it, but they also want it over (as in all Palestinians dead) so they can start moving into those beach-front Gaza condos (surely funded by Americans) that they expect will spring up. It would be a tempting thought that the ghosts of all those thousands of innocent women and children might forever haunt the place and render it uninhabitable, but no – the spirits of those little ones are in the care of Jesus now – no more sorrow or fear for them. And woe unto those who did them harm, for the Lord has a special place in His heart for the little ones: [Luke 18:6] But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Regardless of multiple standing ovations by the execrable AIPAC-selected and purchased serpentine US senators and congress monsters, what is happening to the Palestinians is WRONG. When I think of that assembly, I imagine a session of demons in a huge convocation in some great hall of steam in the darkest recesses of hell with fire and brimstone smoldering all around them. They jeer and cheer insanely and mindlessly applaud as one of the chief demons of Satan delivers a concoction of the damnest lies any sane person could imagine. All intelligence and reason are abandoned as they gorge themselves on his feast of malevolent and deceitful intrigues, even though they know everything he says to them is a lie, they nevertheless consume his bile ravenously. Ironically, all of the cheering they shower upon him is a lie too. In reality, they hate him as much as they hate each other. They even hate themselves, and truth be known, I’d wager their own families hate them too. It’s what happens when you join forces with the devil – hate is all you have to offer (see any recent footage of Lindsay Graham or Tom Cotton) and all you receive. The men and women doing the cheering are overwhelmingly possessed by demons of unspeakable evil as they treasonously display their disregard for the people of the country they are tasked to represent and instead pay homage to Satan’s messenger who has altogether different interests in mind. As mentioned, they will all face the ultimate Judge one day, they and especially their esteemed speaker at that demonic session, and from what I can ascertain from the Bible, their judgement and the damnation they receive won’t be pretty.

Those of us who believe there’s a better life awaiting must hang on to Jesus – He’s all we have, but then, He’s all we need. Pray for justice and relief for those being persecuted by Satan’s minions. Know that at some point, we (believers in Jesus) will all be assailed in our turn by this same abhorrent evil, but during the worst of it, the Lord will get involved and He will show them the same mercy they show the Gazans. When it comes our turn, we need not expect they should show mercy to us, neither should we fear anything they threaten, this earthly body we have is after all, temporary. Once they take it, we will step through the ultimate door into an unimaginably joyful existence and our tormentors, the servants of Satan will be stuck with nothing but their hatred and fear and our moldering old (undoubtedly mutilated) carcasses with which to enter into the well-deserved and merciless damnation they will face.

After that, things will get better for our part. Take heart, the souls of all the martyred children are also safe now in Jesus’ keep, and with the blessings of Jesus Christ, parents will be reunited with them one day soon. We shall join them all in that glorious reunion. Most importantly, though, we will be eternally united with our blessed Savior who loves us, His children with an unfathomable love. He’s the star attraction on that Day. It’ll be so awesome we won’t even remember the torment we had to endure.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ find and keep you. Make the most of the Christmas Season, try your best to find a smile somewhere to share, and remember Him on these days we celebrate as His birthday season. Pray that He will soon intervene.

This is a reminder, not a grave – the living are not buried.

Now that the fog has burned off on this unusually warm December day, I’m going back outside and talk with Him – and meditate on a better tomorrow.

Addendum: I just watched a You Tube video wherein Senator Jeff Merkley laid into his colleagues for supporting the murder going on in Gaza. Must be a lonely feeling to have a conscience in that dark place, so kudos to him and to Oregon. South Carolina voters should see it to understand how a real American senator should act. It’s worth watching if you need to see what the US is doing to assist the genocide.

Coping With Life in a World Gone Mad

We just had a couple of pretty cold nights here in the Ozarks, but fortunately nothing like the folks around the east side of the Great Lakes are having to deal with. Been getting lots of snow up there and one wonders if the traffic snarls will ever get cleared. There are floods everywhere – China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, you name it. The folks in North Carolina are just beginning to get the debris cleared some.

To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much destruction of this world of mankind, both weather and war related. Oh, and don’t forget the volcanic activity that seems to be on the increase. There’s a growing suspicion that a lot of the weather catastrophes are man-made with things like that HAARP program and the people using it. I think it’s the old devil trying his best to undo everything; both things created by God and the world that man has made, cities, buildings, everything. And we still have a lot of people who don’t believe he’s doing it. What’s it gonna take for people to understand the real war that’s going on?

I’ve had some troubling issues lately that have prevented me from working on posts – I’m trying my best to call people’s attention to joining into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, and to encourage people who already serve Him, but it becomes so trying for me at times. It seems like the enemy waits for me at every turn, and I guess I should expect his effrontery, I just have really thin skin – an issue I have to figure out how to deal with, for we have been warned that when we advocate for the Lord, these things will happen to us. I really believe this is a product of my own vanity, that’s where problems originate for a lot of people, if we were so honest as to admit it. Anyways, I’ve received some very encouraging comments, so as long as folks are reading and getting some spiritual encouragement, I’ll keep trying. Y’all have no idea how much a favorable comment helps.

There’s a lot of craziness going on in the world right now, and I really don’t think things are going to let up – this appears to be the new normal – insanity. Someone killed an insurance company exec and the whole country is going bananas, many people outright cheering, others at least condoning it. For Christians, we have to be careful not to get caught up in things like this, as tempting as it may be. We have to keep our heads screwed on straight – murder is unacceptable, no matter how strongly we might feel that a person deserves it. That’s not our call; there’s no room in the human heart for the Spirit of Jesus Christ and hatred for other human beings.

As of this writing, the nation of Syria is going through the upheaval of a rebellion, and no one knows what will come of it – at least as of right now. Just when you think the middle east can’t get any more troubled, something else happens, but this one is really big, historically speaking. There are many paths this new regime can take, each with a host of accompanying issues. Again, Christians have to make a conscious effort to not get involved in the violence and animosity. Unfortunately, supporting it is getting involved, so watch out about taking sides. Especially when all sides choose violence to settle issues. Prayer is our best tact, and when Jesus comes back, He will sort things out, for He knows the hearts of everyone involved. Sure is hard to watch what’s going on in Gaza though. Pray, pray, pray.

We need to pray for each other as well as to pray for peace, a lot of folks are going through trying times right now. There are a lot of good, moral people in this country and around the world, we just need to get the Gospel out to everyone we can and constantly pray for them, the time is getting short. Jesus is the only answer, don’t wait for some politician to come along and set things straight because man doesn’t have the ability to fix our problems. Jesus said, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes the Father except through Me.”[John 14:6] He is the only way!

The problems of this world are not going away, it’s only going to get worse. Jesus said there would be tribulation so tough that the days of it will be cut short just so some people will survive. “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” [Matthew 24:22] Everyone should accept the fact that we can never go back to “normal”. What was normal yesterday is but a thing of the past -memories we might be able to cherish of a saner, more peaceful world in which we were able to thrive, to laugh, to understand one another. In today’s society of cell phones, social media, and way more information than we need, Christians can just step back, stay above the fray, and always remember Him who died for us so that we could be saved from this pernicious world. He’s waiting to hear from you.

Hope this is of encouragement to my brothers and sisters in Christ. Do not withhold your love. May the blessings of the Almighty God find and keep you.

Security Breach – Another Serpentine Intrigue?

Folks I think we’re being had – again. Maybe we need to take a closer look at the “intelligence” leak that supposedly gave everyone a heads-up as to what the IOF was planning to do vis a vis Iran in the much-anticipated revenge attack for the Iranian missile strike.

When you see something, some big event get this much press, alarm bells should be going off nonstop. Think about it. If something like this actually happened, the governments involved would in reality be working frantically to get it covered up ASAP. Can’t embarrass the spook agencies, or at least they wouldn’t if it was a real event.

Every time something like this happens that gets continuous press, you can almost guarantee it is something that has been planted. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is going off the rails about this “leak” and it’s happening on purpose. Even all the alternative media sites are even caught up in it – as is supposed to be happening. For some reason, the governments of US and the occupying regime need the world, most likely Iran in particular, to believe that someone went to the trouble to release a target list so maybe Iran would go to great pains to try and protect the items mentioned. Would that possibly be to take their attention off other targets, which would of course be the actual intended targets?

I personally have no faith whatsoever in the competence of western spook organizations to be successful at anything they try to do except for coming up with more and more devious ways to kill people – oh, and lie – but they generally tend to be able to keep secrets. It’s a big part of their compacts with Satan. I don’t believe that some lady who works for the spooks would have access or the ability (or motive?) to expose some idiotic hit list – which if you think about it, would be something with which all parties involved would already be intimately familiar – any more than I could believe a party of Ukrainians on a sailboat would be able to blow up underwater pipelines, but stories like this are the kind of products our “intelligence” communities thrive on. And they only succeed in selling this kind of garbage because we citizens can be propagandized into buying it.

Get your heads out of the sand and think it through. There is absolutely zero doubt that Iran would not already know which of their assets are in danger of attack. Why then, would some pathetic intelligence document that enumerates them be of such preeminent importance? Why are they twisting themselves into pretzels trying to sell this “breach” of security when we all know they would be sweating blood trying to cover something like this up if it were real.

I might be wrong, but I really don’t think I am. We’ve all seen other iterations of this same propaganda technique enough that we should at least be open to questioning it. Somewhere, sometime down the road, and probably in the not-too-distant future, the truth of this matter will emerge. Probably after it’s intended purpose has been accomplished, some new shiny object will pop out of Karl Rove’s magic hat, and we will instantly forget this all-consuming issue of all-consuming importance. Of course, the lady who will be prosecuted will be in jail, but that’s just one of the many prices people have to pay for not being morally selective in their associations.

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors… and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” – the inestimable Karl Rove

Buy into this if you will, but it would take a lot more than CIA-originated headlines to get this old hillbilly on board. I’ve seen this act too many times, and by now you should have, too. The only thing secretive government organizations like the CIA know how to do well is to lie – never forget this, they can devise lies in many ways. They can spend days, weeks, month, and years developing a lie, or they can lie on the spot, just watch Miller, Kirby, Sullivan, et. al. in any press conference.

John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Watch out for them and what they try to sell you.

May God bless all in Spirit and Truth.

Are There Benefits to Being Turned Down?

Image result for free pics of thumbs down in ancient rome

Rejection. Wow – what a desolate feeling! It’s probably the most damaging blow to human pride of all the many depredations we can experience. Rejection affects different people in different ways, some people deal with rejection by doubling down, working harder, and sometimes this is the correct response, others simply cannot endure it and turn to drugs or booze, and some even take the permanent way out, but most of us learn somehow to cope and thus become able to endure the damage to our psyches. It can have a marked influence on our lives though.

There are examples before us to learn how people have dealt with rejection, such as when a young Adolph Hitler was turned down by the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He was an aspiring young artist and had submitted some of his work for consideration, but the acceptance committee didn’t think he had what it took. Needless to say, he didn’t take it so well, but what if? What if he had been accepted – he was a pretty good artist, and who knows how good he might have turned out to be? Could you imagine walking into an art exhibit with expensive Hitlers for auction? How the history books would be different today! But he was rejected, and that very rejection could have well been the seed of all the death and destruction of WWII.

Consider that beautiful girl back in high school that you would have treated like a princess if only she would have responded to your advances. What a bummer to see her hooked up with some nerd from the debating team who obviously could have never given her half the affection you were prepared to lavish upon her. The fact that they eventually married and had half a dozen kids and stayed together for scores of years notwithstanding, she would have been much better off with you – right?

Rejection takes many forms and none of them are in any way desirable, at least for the time being, but sometimes if we look at things from a different viewpoint, we might see that we’re better off for the way things turned out, even if we had to spend some time buffing out the dings to our pride to get over it. Think about famous people. There’s that human envy in which we often find ourselves immersed that says we’d like to be able to sing like Elvis before adulating mobs in great auditoriums, and it does seem like it’d be quite the trip, but maybe God gave us the voice we have precisely so that we wouldn’t ever get rich or famous because He had other plans for us. Maybe the less than perfect eyesight that prevented us from becoming a fighter pilot was bestowed on us so that we’d never have to give an account of ourselves for mass-murdering innocent people during some “war”.

When I walk out in the woods in the fall and immerse myself in the breathtaking beauty of autumn – an exercise in which I delight more than anything else – I sometimes wonder where else I might have ended up if I had been “successful” in some of my early endeavors. If I had become a famous artist, would I be somewhere I could walk in the woods and enjoy nature like I do now, or would I be ever on the run from unwanted people, ducking for cover when the mobs of newspaper reporters and paparazzi photographers found out where I was, all the more so if I was in some personal setting? I guess most of those folks who have to live like that either enjoy the attention, or at least have learned to tolerate it, but for me, I couldn’t imagine an unhappier lifestyle, never mind the wealth.

I believe that success also comes in many forms or iterations, and most of us don’t have a clue what “success” actually is. We hear the word used a lot when people discuss a person’s financial status, but we only accept it as such because that’s what we’ve been trained to think. When you get to the truth of the matter, success has to be whatever makes a person happy – be it those things which can be experienced or owned in this life, or be it the satisfaction we experience in the knowledge that we are prepared to enter into the next life fully enlightened and that the Lord will approve our conduct in this one. That satisfaction only comes as a result of determining to seek God and live according to His judgements and that of course, will entail an endless stream of “rejections” – both of us and by us.

We will be rejected by the world because our interests are different than those taught by the world – different because there is a Spirit who guides us that does not guide those who reject Jesus Christ. We are rejected by our fellow humans when we write posts they don’t want to read – too much going on for them to bother with learning about Him who created them. We are constantly rejected, as mentioned earlier by those who could inject wealth into our lives, ends up for our own good, although that’s not why they reject us. Those kinds of rejections are normally the result of financial considerations.

There was a funny song by a musician/comic named Jerry Reed about a guy who was a talent scout who rejected this aspiring musician who called himself the Tupelo Mississippi Flash (a reference to Elvis) and the musician went on to become famous and the scout got canned for rejecting him. Sometimes the person doing the rejecting might be making a mistake, but that’s beside the point. The financial consideration was the reason for the rejection, and only through hindsight he learned of his mistake. If the person who suffers whatever rejection for whatever reason were stop feeling sorry for himself long enough to apply hindsight similarly, he might understand how his rejection served to benefit him. Look at all of the folks who became famous in their pursuits living decadent and immoral lifestyles or that came to tragic endings.

Perhaps the most well-known rejection of a human being was that of Jesus Christ. His rejection served to benefit humankind, but it must have been a desperately humiliating experience for Him. How painful it must have been to look out at the people He had been teaching, loving, and healing as they now chanted for Pilate to release Barabbas, a criminal, rather than Himself as they scorned, spat, and beat upon Him. He knew and understood that what He was doing was something that had to be done to save the world, but still the despondence must have been immense. Can you imagine how painful it would be to endure having big nails driven into your hands and feet, watching through tears and blood in His eyes as His “friends” turned away? He died an extraordinarily painful death, hanging on that big, magnificent cross – an incredible act of selflessness during which His concern was not for Himself, but for the souls of the men who were doing this to Him. As His precious life ebbed, He pleaded with God, HIs Father for forgiveness for those men. How is that for responding to rejection?

Now I don’t know about you, my friends, but in my book, Jesus Christ has suffered enough rejection. That horrible day on the cross was enough for all eternity, and no one in their right mind should ever choose to reject Him anymore. From today until the end, however, there are people who still opt to try and live without Him, to their eternal shame and damnation. There is still time, though no one knows how much, to get things right with Jesus; do it, whatever it takes, just get on your knees and let Him know you are sorry for the life you have lived and are willing to hand Him the keys to your life. He knows where you need to go and will gladly take you there.

When and if you decide to accept His generous offer of eternal life, you can expect rejection from the world, but that’s okay – that’s Satan’s doing and it’s worth all the rejection the world can throw at you to know Jesus has your back and that you will ultimately be with Him in paradise for all of eternity. You will also be doing some rejection of your own – you can reject a world in which innocent people continue to be murdered, you can reject immoral lifestyles and those who relish hatred and malevolence. You can reject those who continue to reject our Lord Jesus – you are in no way obligated to conform to their ways. Once you make up your mind to join Christ, you become free with a freedom that the human mind can scarcely imagine!

I don’t think there are many who would argue that time is growing short for us. The world as we know it will never be the same as it was yesterday, last week, last year. This chaos is the new normal. There is still some time though. Time to give a hungry person something to eat. Time to help a child by donating to a reputable charity. Time to walk in the woods, enjoy the colors of fall, and thank Jesus for all He has done for us. If you are not already in touch with Him, I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to find Him – He’s not that far away, right at the very door of your heart. Call on Him before it is too late. No more rejection.

May the blessings of God find and keep us.

Inquiring Minds Need to Know

Image result for free pics of black hole

Hopefully some scientific minded reader will see this post and provide some answers to a layman’s questions. Any takers? Please respond.

When the traffic cop shoots his radar at your car as you come whizzing by, there are assumptions that must be made that need consideration, for instance, was he sitting still? If so, then whatever the display showed would be your speed relative to his – in this case, zero. If he was moving, his computer has to know what his speed was relative to yours – if he was moving towards you, his speed relative to the speed limit sign (ground) must be subtracted from the radar total, which the patrol car’s processor can easily do. I guess the point my premise which will be of significant importance to this discussion, is that speed can only be determined, or assumed, by relativity of two points. The object moving and a separate object of reference that determines the apparent speed the moving object is going.

All my life I’ve heard that Albert Einstein produced those cosmic speed limit signs posted throughout space that say the speed of light cannot be exceeded. Mr. Einstein was undoubtedly a brilliant mathematician, and I would never attempt to debate his propositions, but there are nevertheless some questions.

Image result for free pics of einstein

1st question: You are travelling through space minding your own business at say, 99.99% of the speed of light (relative to an imagined “stationary” point in space). One of Einstein’s stellar traffic cops is whizzing in the opposite direction towards you at the same speed, relative to the same presumed stationary spot. The only way your speed and his can be determined is by their relativity to each other, because in reality that stationary point doesn’t exist. If the actual speeds of both objects relative to each other was measured without subtracting his own speed, what does his radar readout say? Put another way, if you had a head-on collision with him, what would the impact velocity be? Are you, relative to him, exceeding Einstein’s cosmic speed limit, and if so, how is this possible?

Image result for free pics of speed of light speed limit sign

We have no way of knowing how fast nor in what direction our universe is going – the whole thing. Scientists are discovering that space itself is expanding, and that all points in the universe are moving away from all other points. (Let that sink in – according to this theory every point in space is the center of its own universe). Some objects in the deep universe appear to be moving away (from us) at speeds exceeding the speed of light – if this is so, how do we see them? Maybe we’re just seeing where they were billions of years ago, but if that’s the case, how do we know where they are now? If we don’t know where they are now, how do we know how fast they’re going? If the whole universe is moving, how can any speed of any object in the universe be determined with no stationary point with which to reference it? We can only determine cosmic speeds of objects as the results of their relativity to other objects. If you are cruising through space at what you think is 99.99% of the speed of light and your drag racing buddy is cruising along at 99.98%, will you overtake him and wave as you go by? After all, you only know your and his speeds relative to each other. In reality you might be going as slow as snails, with no other reference point than each other. Or you might be going a thousand times the speed of light!

As the universe expands, what is filling the void that is being created at some unimaginably phenomenal rate? I’ve not read of any discoveries of new matter appearing to fill these, so one would presume empty space is being created, but then empty space is something. Right? How, then, is something being created from nothing? Distance, at the very least, is being created if the expansion theory is correct. The known observable universe is thought to already be in the neighborhood of 90 odd billion light years across, so if we assume the expansion theory is correct, some scientists believe there will come a time somewhere down the road when no objects, not even atoms, will be within billions of light years of each other. Now if you have bothersome neighbors like some of us, that might not seem like such a bad thing, but borrowing a cup of sugar is going to be a real pain.

I guess the whole premise of this post is just to point out that though we have been nurtured to believe in the infallibility of science, unfortunately due to the new revelations they discover almost every day – revelations that often refute the “laws” they held dear, indeed revelations that absolutely disprove the “laws” of physics as we have believed them to be, then how on earth (there’s a pun there somewhere) can they be so absolutely sure that our God doesn’t exist? Wouldn’t that be a much simpler explanation for how things can be created from nothing? Why couldn’t “Let there be light” account for the sacred “big bang”? And no, “What was going on before the big bang?” is not an invalid question – that’s a weak cop out of an answer.

These science guys are undoubtedly some brilliant people, but I believe that when they get to the point (which they invariably do) where they begin to argue against the existence or the Supremacy, of the Almighty God, their theories come unraveled. I also believe this will continue to be the case. I also believe there are many in the scientific community who do actually believe in God, but even many of them have determined (imagined) that using their science, they might be able to develop ways to undermine Him – see folkpotpourri post on CERN.

In the grand scheme of things, science, improperly applied, can just be another of the many tools of Satan. The apostle Paul uses the terminology, “science, falsely so-called”, to describe those scientific efforts that attempt to disprove or defy, or even to put man on some kind of equal footing with God. The sad part is all of those brilliant minds being wasted pursuing nonsense that could be applied to doing the work of Jesus Christ. What an army that could be gathered to resolutely affirm and spread knowledge of the divinity of our Creator! If only they could open their eyes and see how they could direct their efforts to the benefit of mankind by – among other things – improving the moral foundations of humanity.

As it stands, science and technology have become a kind of sorcery, the understanding of which only comes by years of study, and at intervals throughout, accepting “laws” and doctrines that seem to invariably be disproven somewhere down the road. In the end, the Almighty God will show His Omniscience, and I do not relish the idea of eventually being an ignorant old hillbilly in a position to say I told you so, for then it will tragically be too late for so many smart people.

There may be perfectly reasonable answers to the queries this post postulates, and if so, please respond. Although by design, there are no logical scientific explanations, neither is there an argument (at least for us believers) that Jesus Christ is who He says He is, and that our God created this universe. If there was any valid argument to disprove that, it would have already been made long ago. Outside of that absolute truth, that void being created by the expansion of space could well be filled by my own ignorance of science. But then, maybe that’s a good thing.

May God bless all.

Tribute to the Best of Soldiers

Image result for captain bars united states army

Van Nathan Kitchens Junior. We just laid him to rest Saturday. It was about as glorious of an autumn day as you could ask for and the military honors were a solemn and well-appreciated addition to his departure. He would have been pleased to have seen it, and somehow, I’m pretty sure he did.

He had turned eighty-six years old in May and his health had been on the decline for the last several years, but he stayed on his feet as long as he could, although someone in the family told me he had at last resigned to forego deer-hunting this year due to his physical condition. That would have been welcome news for the local deer herd, because even at his advanced age, he was ever a yearly threat to them.

The eldest of a family of ten kids, he grew up with his hands full helping his mom and dad with his younger siblings. His dad worked at odd jobs before settling into being a butane (now days it’s all propane) delivery man, which didn’t pay much, so Van Junior, known as Rip to his family, grew up in a poor family. Once he got grown, he didn’t seem to particularly like talking about his childhood nor adolescence, and that was probably why. Not having an abundance of provender on the table when he was young could also account for his love of hunting and fishing, as it was an extraordinary welcome bounty for the family to bring home some venison or fish – it was mostly catfish back in those days, caught out of a lazy meandering old silt-laden river, the Neches, in East Texas where he spent most of his early years. He became exceptionally good at hunting and fishing; in fact, he was among the best I ever knew. He knew how to cook it up, too.

All of his brothers and sisters remember sitting around the old house late in the evenings as he told them stories – he was especially good at it, and the kids listened attentively to each yarn he would tell them, hanging onto every word. This was in the days before cell phones, neither were there TVs in every home, and certainly not in the Kitchens household, with the much-beloved Pentecostal Matriarch, Billie Jewell who would not even think of allowing a “hellivision” into the house. Looking back, those old Pentecostal believers were right about the TVs. Back when we were having the discussions about the morality of TV, harmless shows like I Love Lucy, and Leave it to Beaver were the staples, but look what it’s morphed into today.

He left home to join the Army while he was still a kid, it had to be an exuberating venture, especially to finally pass the demands of big-brothership on to younger siblings, who I’m sure were ill-prepared for the baton – Rip had grown up with it, so he undoubtedly stepped into great freedom when he put on the uniform. Rip became passionate about his service to the Army and was more loyal to its mission than most.

He grew up with a very special sister, Verna, with whom he had a special bond – more so than with his other siblings, but I guess that sort of thing happens in families, some kids become partners in crime and have closer relationships with each other than with other siblings. As youngsters Rip and Verna together experienced travails that were common to post-depression children. Especially those who happened to be children in families that were another level of poor. They both did well as adults and were able to rise above their meager beginnings. Verna passed away back in 2013 while living in Colorado, and it was a terrible loss to the whole family, but it was easy to sense it being extra tough on Rip.

His first marriage lasted long enough for he and his wife to raise a daughter, Kim, and a son, Van III, but eventually the marriage would fail, and he would go on to meet his special love, Becky, with whom he absconded to Missouri and set up a nice ranch in the Ozarks. After a while he received the tragic news that his son, Van Nathan Kitchens III, had been killed in an automobile crash out in the Colorado mountains. The son was known to the family as Bubba, and everyone in the family knew and loved him. He served in the Army and did a tour in Iraq in at least one of the operations over there. Before the accident took him, he had married and had his own son, Van Nathan Kitchens IV, who I had the pleasure of meeting at Rip’s funeral. Number IV has a son of his own, a handsome, happy toddler and of course, his name is Van Nathan Kitchens V. Rip took Bubba’s death especially hard, as would be expected, a tragic episode in life which only a parent losing a child could know.

Rip spent a lot of his time in Missouri raising beef cattle as long as he was able, then as the late autumn stage of life closed in and age began to catch up with him, he gave up tending the herd, spending his hours reading, or with Becky and occasionally with family members. He had a couple of brothers who also came to Missouri with whom he visited as often as they came by, or he could get up their way. Van was serious about the church business as well. He was a devout Sunday school teacher and was dedicated to the work of the Lord; a stalwart Christian, and he will surely awaken from his rest no longer clad in the decrepit old carcass he wore out here on earth, but in the new eternal form the Lord will bestow upon him.

The blue jays are out this time of year in Southern Missouri, and everything is peaceful as dry autumn breezes waft through gold-gilded hickories standing somberly against the indigo October sky. I go out into the woods a lot in the fall, it’s my favorite season and it reminds of days gone by long ago – an innocent time in life when Rip would take a little scamp, fifteen years his junior, with him to hunt squirrels. That little tag-along was me. He was – and ever will be – my beloved big brother.

We will see him again soon in the company of Jesus.

May God bless all and may you Rest in the blessed Peace, Van Nathan Kitchens Junior.

Special condolences to Becky and Kim.

When Madness Pretends to be Conflict Strategy

Wow! How clever they are! Their “intelligence” people developed a way to put explosives into cell phones and pagers that killed and injured a lot of mostly innocent people and managed to turn even more of the world against them without accomplishing anything significant towards advancing their cause(s). They have only one ally in the whole world, and it would be a safe bet that a growing majority of the population of that country, the US, are coming to realize and resent what their government is doing in this scheme of murder and criminality. The evil being supported by the US today is also working to give citizens reason to reflect on past odious behaviors of the US – American Indian genocide, Hiroshima, Dresden, Vietnam, Afghanistan – we have rarely been the good guys we were always led to believe we were. It’s turning out we are not the least bit happy about it, especially since it involves the wholesale slaughter of innocent people, of children who just want to play in their homes in safety – slaughtered by bloodthirsty savages with American bombs.

The pager murders only killed a few dozen people, and a plausible case can be made that few or none of them were enemies of the Zionist occupiers – at least enemies who may have been some kind of strategic threat to the IDF or citizenry of the occupation. If I’m a general or commander of resistance forces and some idiocy like this happens, I wipe the sweat off my brow with relief, because now I understand the “threat’ of the occupying forces’ “intelligence” is of much less concern than I’d feared because they spent a lot of their “genius” and resources for quite some time devising silly fireworks to try and scare people and produced no threat of any significance to my forces. In fact, I’m dumbfounded that these “invincible” enemies with unlimited resources would spend all that time and money on terroristic foolishness when there’s a conflict coming (that they started, the “started Oct 7” nonsense is unadulterated propaganda). Now I’m certainly not making light of the casualties nor the injuries that people sustained from the exploding devices, but in the grand scheme of wartime conflict, this idiocy accomplished nothing but making the vaunted IDF more enemies. Most of all, the leaders of the resistance can take some comfort that this “intelligence” isn’t all that intelligent after all. Sure, they got a lot of attention from all over the world, but attention doesn’t win wars, and stupidity surely doesn’t.

Somewhere along the way, the notion that making people fear your army was somehow a winning strategy became vogue. Shock value became a desirable method of accomplishing this and that’s just plain stupid. When the world found out that GITMO and Abu Ghraib torture was happening, it certainly shocked everyone, but it didn’t do our military guys any favors, because if you think about it, in a battle when the enemy is on the ropes and ready to throw in the towel, if he has reason to believe he’ll be treated decently as a POW (don’t even start with that “enemy combatant” nonsense) it stands to reason he’d be willing to surrender more readily. Take that same situation where the enemy soldier has reason to believe he’ll be tortured when he gives up and chances are he’ll fight to the death, thus killing more of your soldiers. Just plain stupidity and I don’t care if some cognitively challenged demons with stars on their lapels graduated from West Point (with honors) allowed this madness to happen, they should be castigated – whatever form that might take. It also makes you more enemies and gains you the enmity of more of the world – look at the success of BRICS today vs. the decline of the west.

Our genius politicians who were apparently all born yesterday look around at the tatters of the US flag, the tatters of the US reputation – and have the temerity to wonder why in the world everyone hates us. Think GITMO, Petraeus. Think Abu Ghraib and European black sites, Pompeo. A respectable General like Lee or Patton would have y’all up before a court martial for getting their troops killed because of torturing enemy soldiers.

The obvious madness behind all of this nonsense is that it is what the great deceiver, Satan wants them to do. When seen through that lens, it’s easier to see why the smarter guys with morals and honor have all resigned from our military. None, except possibly a small handful of representatives, are to be found in the US political crowd either. This exit of people of conscience (Josh Paul comes to mind) is also happening in the Zionist occupation forces. Only the most ignorant, least honorable, enemies of humanity hang with entities who practice such Cheney/Rumsfeld travesties as torturing and murdering civilians. This applies to our congressional leaders, presidents, presidential wanna be’s, and certainly to the IDF political and military leaders.

How they cry and moan when someone shoots back at them, for their specialty is murdering those who are weaponless, defenseless, hopeless. Onward they bravely march with rigged up pagers, thousand-pound American bombs, broomsticks with which to torture their captives, and loudly call on all through such benevolent mouthpieces as Ryder, Miller, Kirby, Sullivan, et. al. to all the resistance guys to please don’t shoot back at them when they murder your children, for that would be “escalation”. Note that it’s not escalation when the Zionists assassinate, trigger communications devices, carpet bomb Gaza and/or the West Bank, but when someone reacts to such barbarity by trying to defend themselves, it magically then becomes “escalation.” Note how it only becomes escalation when the resistance shoots back.

The servants of evil have had a long time to screw up the world as it is now, and only Jesus Christ will be able to sort it out when He returns. Satan has started playing his high cards for the world to see, and when you can see his behavior this plainly, see all of these servants falling in line for him, you should also be able to understand how powerless we, as humans, are to stop him – only Jesus is able to do what has to be done, we just need to make sure we are on the right side of things, Jesus’ side, when He appears and you can rest assured He’ll be bringing justice with Him. This thing can be, and will be won by the forces of good, but only by the army of Jesus Christ. I’m serious, folks – we all must get right with Jesus asap. There is no other way.

John 14:6 – Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

May the blessings of the Almighty and Merciful God find and keep us all in these troubled times.

When You Hike in the Ozarks Be Prepared

The hill was steep and for a while I wondered whether or not I could make it to the ridge without having to stop for a break and when I had begun looking for someplace to rest, I heard voices coming from somewhere up the hill. It sounded for all the world like a couple of old hillbillies, probably rattling on like they often do about rural issues or the ignorance of young people, but something about this conversation was different – way different – from the typical woodsy talk you’d expect, so I sort of eavesdropped on their conversation as I struggled up towards them.

It seemed as though I heard one of them ask, “Could this early encroach of cheerful autumn clime be mayhap a dire result of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation becoming weaker due to the fresh water being released from the Beaufort Gyre?”, queried one of the old-timers to my utter astonishment. The other quickly and sternly replied, “Fie on’t, ah fie, ’tis an unweeded garden…” as he wiped the snuff spittle from his chin with his shirtsleeve. By this time, I began to wonder if the hill I was ascending was leading me into a parallel universe, such was the unexpected tenor and topic of their conversation. ” Whither by chance or cosmic nuance, frost shall burst forth soon, for today seems ’tis an unweeded garden that grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature possess it merely.”

A scroungy hound could be heard snorting and complaining of his being relegated to tick food during the exchange as at last the participants emerged into view, sure enough, two elderly hillbillies clad in flannel shirts and bib overalls were there, sitting on ancient hewn blocks of white oak in front of an equally ancient log cabin – all the trappings one would expect of a homestead in this neck of the woods. “Forsooth, yon misty plumes across an indigo cosmos shall later descend upon unsuspecting populace bearing particulates of aluminum, barium, and other such damnable constituents as may cause harm, yet none be concerned, nor shall they come to be forthwith, so it seems,” remarked the eldest of the two as he lifted a large jug to his mouth for a drought.

“Yea, for henceforth that which blooms upon the earth in fields once blessed of provident grace shall come to naught also and alas for farmers those rank weeds assail. Moreover, today few men of stature possess dignity perchance to allay our concerns, giving thought to such perversity as allowing said maladies to thrive for pecuniary gain.” followed the other. By now I was getting close enough to be seen and the old dog let out a half-hearted bark to apprise the old fellows their conversation was being interrupted, and their tenor suddenly changed. “Howdy young feller” the older one, who I came to know as Willie, said to greet me as he pointed to an unoccupied stump. “Take a seat right thar and git a load off.”

At once the world I was travelling through returned to what a hiker would have expected, leaving me even more dumbfounded than when I was listening to their earlier conversation. “Did I just hear you guys quoting Shakespeare?” I nervously queried. “Shake who?” queried Willie as he looked confusedly at his buddy Tom, then back at me.

“No really, I just heard you discussing scientific subjects such as the Beaufort Gyre, and in a totally unexpected vernacular,” I replied. “Looky here young’un, I know it was a hard traipse up that hill, but you need to just sit here and rest a few minutes and try to get your marbles back. We ain’t ever heard of nuthin like that. Here, have a swig of this product, maybe it’ll clear your head.” as he reached the jug over to me. I must admit, I was beginning to question whether the climb up the hill had indeed affected my “marbles”.

Tom slowly fetched a pouch of chewing tobacco out of his overalls pocket and stuffed what looked like a coffee cupful into his yapper as Willie eyed me suspiciously. “Seriously, have you fellows ever read about chem trails and their potential to damage crops and people?” I carefully asked, trying not to rouse any more discomfit than I already had. “Nope, nary a bit of it, and you need to take a pull off that moonshine cause you keep a’soundin’ like a idjit.” By now I was convinced that it was me who was rattled, and I “took a pull” even though the stuff inside was reminiscent of stale kerosene. Needless to say, I shuddered violently as the draught went down which gave the old timers a good laugh. In fact, Tom laughed so hard he ejected half of his chew. The effect of the “shine” on my senses was almost immediate and I rapidly calmed down, assured by now that the exertion of the hike coupled with what may have been the effects of x-ray bombardment from recent solar flaring probably caused me to hear things.

I sat a while and took another swig or two and came to enjoy the conversation and even petted the old hound, but soon I realized it was getting late and I needed to get where I was going. As I stood up to leave, my head was a little cross threaded and I reeled a bit, which of course gave the old hillbillies another laugh, but I steadied myself with my walking stick and after heartfelt farewells, resumed my journey through the Ozarks.

As I walked away, but before I got out of earshot, I thought I heard Willie say, “Mayhap thine opportune drought moored the sensibilities of that stalwart youth, though he may have been taken amok from the effect of ultraviolet radiation of recent solar flares, particularly that of number 3985 with its attendant Coronal Mass Ejection.”

“Perhaps, yet I say “fie on’t!”

I just kept walking.

Have a wonderful day.
