ARMED FORCES DAY 2013

In 1962,  President John F. Kennedy established Armed Forces Day as an official holiday.  All over our country towns will be celebrating with parades to honor our men and women serving in today’s military.  But today I want to turn the tables and let you read what we might hear them pray as they serve for the protection of this nation:

God, who dost still the restless foam,

Protect the ones we love at home.

Provide that they should always be

By thine own grace both safe and free.

O Father, hear us when we pray

For those we love so far away. 

~Hugh Taylor, date unknown

Such a simple prayer, but one that reaches the highest pinnacle in Heaven when spoken from the heart.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day in honor of our military, that we might remember them this day at home and on foreign soil and pray for their protection.

ON THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS

Had no idea what I was going to post until I came on and saw this comment by cj – “This is kind of fun and satisfying to watch though and I am trying not to be too hopeful or giddy or smug because that’s when the hammer falls. Lord make me humble and grateful but please excuse me if I cheer a little bit if you decide Obama’s time is up as Pres.”  Think we all are on the edge of our seats waiting to see how all this turns out.

MOTHER’S DAY 2013

You have probably seen this around before, but received it in an email from one of my family members and thought I would share since Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday.

WHY GOD MADE MOMS

Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?

1. She’s the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?

1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of?

1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men’s bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?

1. We’re related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people’s mom like me.

What kind of a little girl was your mom?

1. My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
2. I don’t know because I wasn’t there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?

1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?

2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that mom didn’t have her thinking cap on.

Who’s the boss at your house?

1. Mom doesn’t want to be boss, but she has to because dad’s such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What’s the difference between moms and dads?

1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power cause that’s who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friends.
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

What does your mom do in her spare time?

1. Mothers don’t do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?

1. On the inside she’s already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I’d diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?

1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I’d get rid of that.
2. I’d make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

 

Wishing each of you and your Mother’s a most wonderful day.

GONE ASTRAY???

Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

I don’t know about you, but I just love to read quotes from people in our past and try to decipher what was running through their minds when they said them and what was taking place during that time.  I have pondered these words and can’t help but look at them from the standpoint of how things use to be in the beginning of this nation and also from a biblical perspective.  Men stood side by side to fight for their freedom against tyranny.  Not only that, they stood together in what they thought was right in the eyes of God.  But the more I ponder, the more I may have misread these, especially if I try to apply them to today.  What if even back in the 50′s when Eisenhower spoke them he was hinting at something more sinister.  What if he was suggesting “control” of the masses.  I know, it seems farfetched doesn’t it.  I believe that if anyone today spoke them that would be the intent at least in my mind.  I am, however,  going to try to cast away my pessimism and believe they were said to mean that brotherly love needed to abound in all before we extended our values on others as we were beginning to reach out into the world.  I also like to think that we did so in the beginning when America traversed the world with offers of help and hope for a better tomorrow.  But, somewhere this has changed and the sheep, or should I now say goats,  seem to have gone astray in this “give me/take-by-force” world we live in today.

ARE WE A TOAD IN THE ROAD?

Have given some serious thought to all the things taking place in America today and I for one can see exactly how the NWO will be ushered in.  During the 2008 elections, we were told that “change” was what was needed to transform America.  Unfortunately people thought that was good and we would all be better off in the end (they were the ones who have been blinded to believe the lies).  NO – that was not the ultimate goal.  The ultimate goal was first to have a leader to be initially accepted worldwide.  One who would not be hated (like Bush)  and who would seek peace.  Well we see that definitely was spelled out when that person was indeed placed in our highest office of the land.  (Awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, toured many countries where people almost seemed to worship that leader; even among our own people we saw this overwhelming adoration as if he were a messiah).

The goal is to deluge America with the following in hopes that we will be stretched towards a downfall:  threats of and involved in multiple wars and skirmishes, threats of nuclear proliferation, boycotting of US trade, increase in oil prices, weakening of Wall Street and the markets, terrorist bombings and medical emergencies.  How many have already taken place and how much more is to come???????????  The only way to conquer a great nation, which has been proven time and time again in history, is to divide it and therefore which will ultimately lead it to being conquered.  The goal is to make America WEAK.  We are already seeing a major drain on America’s finances by the increase of unemployment thereby making people dependent on the government (or those who are working – oh yeah, spreading the wealth).   This in turn has its effects on our retail markets because people are forced to reduce their spending.  Economics 101 at play here – supply vs demand – we will see NO supply and NO demand before all is said and done.  Then we have the so called affordable health care act – we ain’t seen nothing yet.

I could go on and on with this line of thinking, but I am sure by now you get the point.  Two things that are also coming in to play are race and religious convictions.  When these two things TOTALLY EXPLODE – WATCH OUT.

Yes, the PTB want to break America financially, because we are the TOAD IN THE ROAD!!!!!!!!

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO A SQUASHED TOAD

PURPOSE AT EVERY STAGE

PSALM 71:18 (KJV)

Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

God has a purpose for us at every stage of life.  However, with increased age comes increased responsibility to pass on to others the truths of God’s Word and His ways.  Not only that, but we have a responsibility to pass on to future generations exactly the principles by which this country was founded.  If we don’t speak out now, all will be lost as we are steadily ushered into the transformation of existing under a NWO.  I personally don’t want to just exist.

I have always been a person who welcomed a change in technology to make things easier.  But as time has gone by, I see that it all was nothing more than to make us dependent on man and his ways.  Our govt is now taking huge leaps to make us dependent under them so that in the end they eliminate all but two choices – serve them or serve our Lord and Savior.

 Joshua 24:15 (KJV)

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
