Our Extremist Court

I am so upset today that our Supreme Court, poorly named I must say, should be our extremist court has once again decided to do away with the rights of individuals and side with corporations.  I do not in any way believe in abortion but I think it is most unfair to thrust my beliefs upon others especially those who are unfortunate enough to work for me.  I will not be shopping at Hobby Lobby anymore and I would encourage all of those who love crafts to look elsewhere for a supplier.  What has happened to the rights of individuals?  It seems that we are being drug into a monotheistic government and for myself I think that is a dangerous path.  Whose god are we going to be serving: the true and living God or some other god devised by man?  As Stephen Prothero wrote in his book, "God is not ONE", we are heading down a slippery slope if we think that the god of the Mormons is the same God of Christians or that the Allah of Islam is the same god of the Buddhist.  When government begins to define God and religion, real believers in the living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the God-man Jesus Christ, need to pay heed to what is being said.  Foolishly, we think that we can legislate morality.  When will we wake up and realize that we are dealing with a sin problem in the lives of individuals?  Jesus Christ paid an extremely high price for you and I and if we continue to look everywhere else but to Him we will never find the answers that we need for the struggles we face in life. 

I feel that on some level, the family that owns Hobby Lobby is just too cheap to pay the extra money for the contraceptives that their employees need.  It is also interesting to note that most of their employees appear to be women.  I had one of them tell me some time back, that they had waited for their promised raise to materialize for months when the family who owned the store was busy giving millions of dollars to some TV preacher.  Do I want to support whoever it is that they are supporting?  Is it worthwhile for me to do so?  Do I even believe as this preacher believes?  I think I will do my shopping at Joann's.  They have very nice selections and the price is just as reasonable.  I love the Lord and will willingly support His work, that is why I belong to a church and pay my tithes.  If I want to support someone's religious beliefs, I need to know a whole lot more about them.  If religion is their business they are doing a very poor job of doing what Jesus would have done but perhaps it is not Jesus that they are serving.  I certainly don't sense any great awakening upon entering their doors.  I am sick of these groups using our freedom of religion laws to circumvent obeying the law.  Our supreme court needs to wake up and do what is right for everyone.  Next thing you know, they'll be telling us who to worship and how  to worship.  Wake up people!  Take a stand for what is right for once!

Lost Time

It has been over a year since I took the time to write in my blog.  The last year offered many barriers to overcome both physically and emotionally.  My brother passed away at the end of 2011 and I became swept up in all of the affairs associated with that.  Grieving at his loss was hard to do when daily reminders would arrive at the house in the form of letters addressed to him.  I learned that  my adrenal glands no longer worked and I have Addison's Disease.  This was a real surprise.  It seemed hard to believe.  I found that I was extremely fatigued.  I also, lost my appetite finding it hard to eat anything.  I simply was not hungry.  I thought I was experiencing depression and am so thankful that a friend pointed out that something must be wrong.  I went to see an endocrinologist and learned that I had adrenal insufficiency.  Anyway, after many months I am finally beginning to feel alive again.  All of my brother...

Sitting In the Bleachers

I am horrified to learn that the Supreme Court has upheld Trumps travel ban.  You better fasten your seat belt because his next move will be rounding up other groups that he doesn’t like.  I have never posted about a vision that God showed me when Trump announced his run for the presidency.  I have shared it with a few people but it was so bizarre that I decided not to share it with the general public.  What I am about to say is very strange so I need to lay some background.  Firstly, I knew nothing at all about Donald Trump other than his name.  I don’t generally watch regular TV because it is not that interesting.  As a result I knew really nothing about  the man.  When he announced his run for President, I began to see spirits that looked like frogs coming from his mouth.  I did not understand what this could mean and the Holy Spirit said lying spirits.  The great deceiver filled this man with lies.  Over many years, I rare...

In due time

Isn't it funny that whatever we have to do takes up all of the time we have?  If it is just a brief shopping trip before we know it other things we had planned must be pushed aside.  We plan to make a few phone calls and by the time we are finished all of the day has been spent and we feel as if our time wasn't used wisely.  Such is the life of man, never really taking control just floating with the current, reacting to the events of the day.  So many demands are placed upon us and so many voices try to direct what we do.  Our boss has a goal for us, or perhaps a friend has need of us.  Maybe a spouse is demanding some of our time or a child.  Whoever or whatever sounds the loudest and has the most power over our lives tends to get their needs met the quickest.  Do you ever feel that you are racing over a cliff with no brake and no hope of stopping?  Life can feel that way sometimes.  In the scriptures we sometimes read this phrase, but...
