Question – Thought & ANDs for April 11th, 2015!!!

Question – Thought & ANDs for April 11th, 2015!!!

Good Saturday Morning!

1. Question – How do we convince down-trodden Americans that they are oppressed?

2. Thought – “It’s becoming increasingly difficult to reach the down-trodden masses in America,” a Comrade wrote to his superior. “In the spring they’re forever polishing their cars. In the summer they take vacations. In the fall they go to the world series and football games. And in the winter you can’t get them away from their television sets. Please tell me how to let them know they are oppressed.” (1000 Tips & Quips by Herbert V. Prochnow)

AND: Well said by Thomas Sowell.  I’ve recently started paying attention to his posts and think he has the true pulse of what is going on right now.

AND: Great reflections – sent this to my parents…

AND:  The bible is rich with both old and new testiment accounts of God blinding eyes and hardening hearts.  It is also a perfect account of what is unfolding in the world.

 

I have heard many say “as long as we (the United States) remain strong and a friend of Israel, they will remain a state and biblical prophesy cannot come to pass”.  Really…remain strong and a friend of Israel?  What say you now my friends?

 

I still see and hear open-ended questions being posed as if there is an answer other than biblical truth.  Consider yourself blessed to be among those that will see the Glory of God revealed.  And remember this: Hate is not the opposite of love, fear is.

 

AND: Trust is earned, not given.  Whereas, Winston Churchill was well received in the US, if we don’t listen to the wisdom of the person…….we lose what he/she brings to the table.

And, you can’t “unring” a bell!

 

AND: Harsh realities are difficult to face texting is quite easy, watching TV even simpler. We refuse to face the world as long as the government says we are safe. From where has this dependence come. It has come through empty libraries it has come from hands being outstretched to DC, it has come by the vilification of Christianity it has come because we have allowed it and elected it.  There will be an awaking but evil is upon us now and evil kills us in our sleep.  It is all very frustrating the world coming apart while some golf and vacation, the answer is to fight. Fight the presumption that we are just a raciest nation fight the statements that our Constitution is flawed and we are not an exceptional nation. Fight the bureaucracy that tells you your children must read this or that trivial socialist dribble. The fight starts at dinner when we openly discuss the issues with our children, at the park when we counter those that question whether our children should hang upside down on monkey bars and at school when there is a muslim prayer day in which everyone must participate. this idea that we must all just get along is the absurdity of sheep. Fight.

AND:Over the years, info on what to eat and what not to eat, has been constantly changing.  So, I’ve decided I am going to eat as wisely as I can discern to do……and then one day I’ll lay down to rest from all this earthly confusion!!

 

AND: The history was correct but the whole point is not…it is a miss direction…mixed in with truth.

It is true that if you are intimidated, you will be less likely to do anything.

AND:Chag Sameach Pesach!

Note:  “Easter” is derived from the name of the false god Ashteroth and many of the man traditions associated with Easter are derived from the worship of that false god.   All I can say is RUN AWAY FROM HER!

But the landscape of the world is to feed the military industrial complex…peace is not the goal….

AND: We all could meet ‘angels’ if we took the time?

AND: I would be praying a lot for the wisdom and knowledge to pull it off. I have hired some people who didn’t have the skill I was looking but had the right attitude . What I had to do was have enough patience, time and energy to follow them through the process .

 

​AND: ​Whatever happened to taking responsibility for the choices we make…..that give us the results of our very own actions?

 

It’s the new way of thinking…..it’s everyone’s fault except mine.  Away with the unfair “blame game”.  And…that’s why if the thinking doesn’t change……the world’s going to hell “in a hand basket”!!  And……the truth shall set you free!!

PS.  Obama (the puppet) is leading the U.S. Straight towards destruction and you and I can’t do anything about it.  Wake up!  Prepare yourself and those you love as best you can.

AND: I actually brought this Thomas Sowell article (dated 21Mar15) to work yesterday to let folks read.
Thanks for being vigilant and spreading the word-many will read and hear but sadly many will turn a blind eye.

AND: Climate change  equals  Liberals. If u don’t believe me ask.the  dinosaurs!

AND:   I remember growing up in Wisconsin in the early 70’s and there was serious talk about no one living there in the next 20 years due to the southern movement of another Glacier. Made an impression as I still remember it today. When confronted with a climate change nut, I tell that story and they say that I made that up and that can’t be true. How convenient.

AND: We are living in the end times Biblically speaking.  All prophesy needed to be fulfilled for Jesus to return is fulfilled. Have you read the Screw Tape Letters by C S Lewis? A fictional story about the devil and demons plotting and planning.  God postpones intervention on the earth to give every soul that does not know Him time to believe.  Time for His Body,  the church,  to take the gospel message further and faster.    Is a all this to tell you a one world government is inevitable.  The antichrist may be alive but not revealed.  Biblical prophesy is scary stuff unless you are believing that Jehovah is in control.  Jesus will be victorious (after much suffering for earthly populations on the earth) the Holy Spirit is working on the hearts of people all over the world,  bring the salvation news.

AND: The “good” way in our foundational Hebraic understanding is the Mitzvot.   The contentment comes from understanding that you are in right relationship with our Creator.  You see your actions in line with His desires and character.  Nothing changed with Him from Malachi to Matthew.  There is no such thing as dispensations with G-d.  Have a great day!

AND: Love it….I know I don’t have enough Faith to be an Atheist.  I have a couple of friends who think they do tho…always fun to share a conversation with them.

AND: Ignorance, running rampant!  You can’t reason with it or speak to anything via discussion because…………”Ignorant” already knows EVERYTHING!  It will wear you slam out.  Then you rest.  Then you try again!

 

​Love you guys! Diverse & opinionated! As Pops, a wonderful man I coached with, said to me, “Rem, life is like a football game, you only have so many innings to play and if you don’t get the ball in the basket, you’ve got to turn in your ice skates.”​

Question & Thought for March 27th, 2015!!!

Question & Thought for March 27th, 2015!!!
Good Friday Morning!!!
1. Question – Is all of this – just noise to keep us from seeing?
2. Thought – “Let me see if I can confirm some of the speculation from earlier speakers … The Federal Reserve isn’t federal at all: you’re right, it’s basically a privately owned bank, a cartel that loans you your own money at interest, and its creation was the beginning of the end of the free-market system.
“The United States was built to run on individual freedom, that’s true, but because you’ve let these control freaks have their way with it for almost a hundred years, your country now runs on debt. Today, Goldman Sachs is the engine, and in case you haven’t realized it yet, the American people are nothing but the fuel.
“The Committee of Three Hundred exists. And the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Bilderberger Group, the Trilateral Commission, the Club of Rome – they all exist. And they are globalists: they’re wealthy and powerful beyond anything you can imagine. There are predators among them, absolutely ruthless people, but all of them together really do run things in this world, just like they say they do. There’s nothing secret about these societies, though. No hidden conspiracies: they do what they do right out in the open.
“See, the place where I work is where all the secrets get told, because they have to tell us secrets before we can hide them. But here’s the interesting thing: Do you know why I’m not worried about sharing any of this with you? Because they’re not afraid of the American people anymore, and especially not you people. All they’ve got to do is keep you bickering among yourselves, overwhelmed with conflicting information, or fretting about conspiracies or hypnotized in front of the TV and the computer, or standing around here thinking you’re fighting back, and you’ll never even get close to doing them any harm.
“There really is a New World Order on the way, but it isn’t new. It’s been coming for a long, long time. You let yourself get distracted with a thousand conspiracy theories, but there’s only one truth at the heart of them all. George Carlin said it better that I can: Up at the very top, it’s a big club, and you’re not in it. They got all the power, and you’ve got none of it.” (The Overton Window by Glenn Beck)

 

​Don’t text & Drive! Drink Water. Read. Find truth.​

Question & Thought for the 1st Sunday of February 2015!!!

Question & Thought for the 1st Sunday of February 2015!!!
Good Sunday Morning!
1. Question – How do you make zero progress this year?
2. Thought – That’s right, if you follow this advice, 2015 will be a huge waste of time. Let’s get started shall we?
First, worry a lot. Start worrying early in the morning and intensify your anxiety energy as the day progresses. Short on a supply of things to worry about? Check the evening news on television or the internet. You’ll have enough bad news, doomsday reports, human tragedies, foul weather, and late-breaking calamities to keep your heart and mind churning all through the night.
Something I have found helpful in my own worry is to do a lot of reflecting on my failures and mistakes.
Hanging around negative people is another secret you won’t want to forget this New Year. They spread worry like germs.
Second, make hard-and-fast plans with unbending and unrealistic expectations. Hey, why not? All of 2015 lies in front of you. Your date book is empty and ready to be filled with detailed plans. Of course, you’ll need to ignore that little throwaway line in the book of James,
Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there for a year. We will do business there and make a profit. How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog – it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. (James 4:13-14 NLT)
Forget this verse, and chisel your expectations in stone, convinced that things will turn out exactly as planned.
Third, fix your attention on getting rich quick. This is a great one. With this mind-set, you’ll fit right in with the flimflam that’s gushing out of most self-help seminars and conferences. Make certain to get your ideas about money from the secular bookshelves, and definitely don’t pay attention to men like Solomon, who wrote:
Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich.
Be wise enough to know when to quit.
In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,
for it will sprout wings
and fly away like an eagle. (Proverbs 23:4-5 NLT)
I mean, what does Solomon know about money and contentment and consequences…and wisdom?
Fourth (and this is a great one), compare yourself with others. Another surefire time-waster for 2015. Not only will you ricochet between the extremes of arrogance and discouragement, you will spend another year of not knowing who you are.
Fifth, lengthen your list of enemies. Playing the blame game will keep your wheels spinning during 2015 more than any other activity. Your skill at this game should improve with age because the longer you live the more ammunition you will have. With a full arsenal of suspicion, paranoia, and resentment, you can waste endless evenings rehearsing your feelings of resentment as you stew over those family and friends who have made your life miserable.
Okay, so there you have it! Five proven time-wasters. Put these suggestions into motion, and your new year could set records in wasting valuable time.
But on the other hand, who wants to do that?
No one aims to make zero progress – it just happens. So, let’s get started in the right direction.
Beware of time-wasters! Instead, pray more than worry. Be flexible. Give more. Be content with the way God made you. And let the oil of forgiveness loosen your grip on those grudges. In other words, make this year your most productive ever.
That’s my plan! (Insights, January 2015, by Charles R. Swindoll)

EnJOY the game!
