I do not
believe the way most of the world believes today. And because of
that, I am called a variety of names. None of which are flattering.
I do not post any hateful remarks or vulgar language on Facebook. I
no longer tweet, although I have a Twitter account. I do not carry
signs, shout obscenities, and 'occupy' any place that is not mine. I
do not riot and loot. Perhaps I am too lazy, but perhaps, I just do
not believe it is right to do those things.
I
believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of GOD; that there are no
contradictions within HIS word only our faulty understanding and, at
times, an intentional misrepresentation of HIS word. Sin is what
severed our relationship with GOD and the death of HIS SON is what
restored our relationship with GOD. There is only one way to GOD,
not many. Sin is sin and must be forgiven not winked at nor glossed
over. In order to be forgiven, we must be called by the Holy Spirit,
repent, turn from our wicked ways, and fully give ourselves to HIM.
One man
and one woman makes a marriage; not two women, nor 2 men. And no,
not even Fluffy and Fido are to be united with man or woman into the
Holy bonds of matrimony.
Honesty
is not simply the results of taking a class in Ethics. Fidelity is
not a matter of not crossing the line, it is not going near the line.
Stealing a pen is a sin, just as stealing $10,000,000.00 is a
sin. Or stealing someone's spouse or their virtue.
Sex
should be the result of marriage and the intimacy shared by husband
and wife. It is not a solitary activity accomplished before a
computer screen. It is not a group activity, nor is it something to
be shared by stranger after stranger while in various states of
intoxication. Living with someone and having babies with them
without the benefit of marriage is not the same as marriage and is
one reason we have so many single parent homes.
Getting
married a second or third or even fourth time is no guarantee that
you really know what you are doing. It simply appears you are making
the same mistakes a second or third or even fourth time.
You do
not get married and live happily ever after with Prince Charming or
the Beautiful Princess. If you want one marriage to work, you work
at it. For the most part, it is boring, dull and not much fun. But,
it can be life's greatest adventure. It is all in your perception of
it.
I
believe there is peace and harmony in life, but only through a
relationship with JESUS CHRIST.
The
easter bunny is a lie from the pit of Hell and I salute any child who
is smart enough to run screaming from that, santa claus, and any
other fictitious thing that adults dream up to foist upon
unsuspecting children in order to sell candy, cheap toys and baskets
filled with fake grass.
And why
do adults force children to sit on the lap of some stranger and then
tell them to run from strangers?
I
believe in being honest with children and protecting them from the
demons that run rampant through our homes on screens no bigger than a
watch. And we wonder where they pick up trashy attitudes and
language. Do you really have to wonder? Have you listened to
yourself screaming at the kids? Have you listened to how you talk to
your own parents? Do you take responsibility for your actions? Or
do you justify
what you do?
Think
about it for a moment. When you ask your kids who they think they
are talking to, remember when the tables were turned. Were you
respectful of your own parents and do you justify your current disrespect
claiming that they were bad parents? They were never there for you.
They let you down. They abused you. They beat you. They made you
eat stuff you hated. They kept you from parties and smoking and
drinking and never let you have fun.
Get
over it. Your own children are being ever so gently prepared by you
to say the very same things to you and about you. They may even say
the very same words you said. My, my, my. What a thought. What
goes around, comes around. You reap what you sow.
I
believe children are under-rated and under-taught. They are taught
more foolishness than skills. They are forced to “remain children
as long as they can” and parents are left wondering if their adult
children will ever
leave home. They do. They marry and return with their own children.
Why? Generally because they wanted bigger and better right
now
and all they got was bigger debt and lots of junk they really did not
need. Couples used to marry, get a one bedroom apartment and a
beat-up old car and work for years to save for a house. They now want
their DREAM HOME and NEW CAR/TRUCK before the vows are even said.
No,
it is not always like that. Sometimes stuff just happens and you
have nowhere to go but back home. And you just hope they will take
you in. And they do because that is what family does.
Call
me what you like. It hurts sometimes for a bit. But truly, by now,
I just feel sorry for you, that you cannot or will not listen to the
voice of experience. You must make those mistakes for yourself. You
must hurt and fall and weep and whine and I will be there to help you
up and whisper those words of wisdom, “I tried to tell you, but you
wouldn't listen.”
Shalom!
Pray for the PEACE of Jerusalem!
