Question & Thought for the last day of February 2015!!!

See Ya February!

1. Question – Will you test your news’s knowledge?

2. Thought –

This is a terrific test.  And it shows results in a number of ways. It surely indicates that the majority of Americans don’t know what’s going on.    It’s astonishing that so many people got less than half right.  The results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn’t have a clue, and that’s pretty scary.

 

There are no tricks here — just a simple test to see if you are current on your information.

 

This is quite a good quiz and the results are somewhat shocking.

 

Test your knowledge with the challenge of 12 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did:

 

If you get less than half correct, please cancel your voter registration.

ANDs for February 27th, 2015!!!

Good Morning Friday from you!
 
AND Reference yoga: And staying away from magnifying mirrors is also helpful!! LOL
 
AND:Is it heavy or is it just unfounded?  This guy is messed up because of:
psychologists call confirmation bias – a tendency to see and interpret information in a way that confirms one’s preconceptions.

He discards even the most apparent truths…connection of the Messiah to the foundation…not against the foundation.  See Col 2:17.
Also, there is no middle ground or “free” position or place…we are either slaves to sin or slaves to righteousness.
And,  what is “good” and “righteous” are not determined without a proper rule.  E.g.  What does G-d say about it.  Not some arbitrary relative place for each to decide…that is the picture without foundation.
Common in Classical Christian Theology….
AND: I have done triathlons, marathons, and can still bench press more than my body weight for reps(this is a girl talking! lol) and I always “laughed” about yoga until I tried it …..about a year ago…..The stretching is awesome for this mid fifty year old body!!
Like you,….I became a yoga convert!   (Although I still prefer running , spinning, and lifting!)….I got a huge smile out of your post!  ;))
 
AND: Children are being born out of wedlock at alarming rates and the only people who want to get married are the gays.
AND:I might try yoga, but definitely not the “yoga pants!”​
AND:Oh what a sight to see an old pilot in yoga pants.  NOT.  🙂
AND: I have streams in the desert. Received for wedding present.  Got it out and will proceed to use.  It was on my shelf. thanks for dusting it off.
AND: Perhaps I am missing something….

…but are we not seeing this play out right now?  Within our nation are we not seeing Man decide good/evil?  Are we not rationalizing our actions on the good/evil front simply to answer those who prefer homosexuality? Abortion? Lies to the masses? If we are not directly touched/impacted then we let it slide…we take the path of least resistance.  And its no different outside our borders.  Why as a nation do we struggle with calling ISIS evil? Why can we not respond adequately to their killings/murders?  We opt for peace…non-engagement…we do not want to confront evil for what it is.  We make excuses.  We are proving Dostoyevski correct, we can’t handle free will/free choice. Sad….
AND:Of course it assumes a conscience and freedom of it.  That is, it is a premise that man has a conscience AND freedom in it.  I would be interested in his definition of those two terms.

AND:I’m in London and Germany and The Netherlands a lot these days…What a mess!!  So thankful for _______. I learned a lot from him! And I take (and make ) opportunities to “educate” my co-pilots on the whole Islam thing….It’s very interesting to me and real apparent right off the bat which ones get it and which ones don’t.  I have to say I’m surprised at the number of career military guys who don’t “get it”……..
AND:…Our State Department has been loaded with young liberals bred and raised via our wonderful academic system guided and preached via late 1960s-70s radicals still influencing thought in our higher institutions…  Example: A student at a renowned university took a history course for credit… The prof was a ponytailed liberal who spent the semester bad-mouthing Reagan…  Today, we have turned our back on Isreal… Their Prime Minister will be boycotted by the black cacus when he speaks in Congress next week… while some libreal demos will boycott too… Our secretay of state will be unavailable because he’s sucking-up to Iran (whose laughing down their togas at his proposals)… Our vice president is off somewhere becoming more of a joke than ever… So, our muslim-loving admintistration hopes to destroy the upcoming Isreali elections there, so we can kiss-up to Iran and hope the Islamic militants will work with us, and love us, while lying to our incredibly niave US government to eventually destroy us!… We have become so ignorant as a society… Financial greed and a comfortable lifestyle are distracting us (aided & abetted by a 90 percent major media )… The next national election could steer us away from the Constitution completely, or, it is hoped, God willing our country will be saved from Big Gov socialism … Where we’re headed right now… WAKE UP!
AND:  My heart and brain never got past 28…  Gets me into a jam every now and then.  Certain body joints are well over 147 years old tho.
AND: I FEEL like & think I’m the person I was in my 20s with my then, young, hubby, and all of our group of friends, in Jersey.  Mentally, I have learned & grown much from reading & life experiences. Spiritually, however, I’m much more mature. God has revealed many truths to me over the past 25 yrs & I’m grateful for that! I try to pass all of what I’ve learned, onto my children. My daughter soaks it all up like a sponge. My son (who is in his 20s)has no use for what I know, lol.
AND: am still mulling over the Thought on Jesus in the wilderness and Satan.  Also, according to the Ands I think I need to read the 16th Amendment once again…

 

​AND: ​I just love Charles Spurgeon!   I often write down his quotes, will definitely be adding this one to my prayer journal.
 
AND: We are broken.  And it’s hard to make headway to even think of how to fix things..because our system is SO broken.  We ARE at WAR.  In our own homes. In our own country.  In our own government.  In our own lives.  And if we don’t take decisive and drastic measures, which will be disastrous and devastating to many, to secure our future, we will have no more strength to help anyone in the world but be completely overrun, bought out and sold.
AND: In response to one of the write up’s, God did not give u cancer,  cancer gave u cancer.  Think about it ! 
AND: We have come to the cross roads in this Republic. There is little question that we now have an imperial president, congress is but a figure head with little or no ability to act in the roll of check and balance responsibility.  This body has basically become a rubber stamp for all manner of unconstitutional acts.  The courts are set on not making anyone uncomfortable. This is largely driven by the absurd notion of political correctness. The very notion that there is a correct way to speak is in it self disturbing.  The president decrees the congress pretends to take offence and if they do anything they send back a bill that states the same thing the president wants only in different language. And this is the opposing party. Congress is so afraid that they will be blamed or tagged with a name they do nothing with the exception of allow the Constitution to be decimated. The courts are reticent to upset anyone and have ceased to review with a Constitutional view. Fear is a paralyzing emotion one with which our founders were not burdened. It is a dark day in America, we live on the dull edge of freedom. We have two choices and only two. We can live with the erosion and pacify ourselves by saying its still not that bad, or we can strike back against the tyranny and dictates of an out of control all powerful federal government. Darkness is upon us we have little left of what was America will we fight or will we cower.  We either sharpen freedoms blade or be cut by the governments dull knife. Yes we have only two choices, a dark day in America.

 
AND: If there is one thing I have learned over these many years is never look back. Throw the damn rear view mirror out the window and drive forward. I have bad and good, however to pretend that if I had only done this or that is a formula for self destruction.  I have seldom taken a defensive stance one thing I did learn early from the USMC is go on the offensive and stay on the offensive.  Yes I have created hurt feelings and I have  created discourse but never where either was not needed.  We have become soft in America. We ponder too much about what might have been, we fall into the deception of political correctness and we don’t understand those that are driven.  This is the tragedy of wanton victimization, much of it brought on by our all benevolent federal government.  Where are those of strength well currently they are providing for the ever increasing hoard of want.  We will see where this all ends but it will not end with a whimper.
 
AND:

I was just learning about this!! I just became a consultant with a health and wellness company called Arbonne. We have this amazing nutrition line that helps your body stay alkaline. We have a special value package of a 28 day detox with a guide for healthy eating meal plans. People have such incredible testimonies after doing it, things like weight loss, no longer needing naps, overall improvement in aching joints, lower blood pressure, cured of migraines, and more.
If you would every be interested in more information in the detox, I’d love to send you more information on it. Or if you know someone who might be interested, it’s gluten free, non-gmo, and vegan so safe for anyone, I’d love to reach out to them.

 

​Whew! Don’t text and drive! Read. Water. and grow!​

 

Question & Thought for February 26th, 2015!!!

Good Thursday Morning!
1. Question – How would a high school student interpret Hebrews 4:2?
2. Thought – Hebrews 4:2. For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the measure they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. (The Holy Bible, New International version)
Student interpretation: Some people’s interaction with spiritual influence is like elastic collisions. They bounce off – unchanged. Your heart shouldn’t be hard. Let God move in it.

 

Question & Thought & ANDs…

Good Thursday Morning Friends and thank you! Thursday will now be humor day, as Wednesday is a religion day. This will corner my mind a little better. And, I would like to request humor from you all. I’ll judge what to put up. Why? Cause I know the audience pretty well. Don’t fill offended if yours doesn’t make it from this varied audience. I know you smiled when you sent it to me.
AND: and if it’s not yours, include who it is.
^. Thought – If you’re not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he’s the famously erudite (comic) scientist who once said:
“I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates.”
