English: Official portrait of Senator LIndsey ...

 

The only thing I would add to what Raye’s Radar has written here is that I would write a similar dressing down to Lindsey Graham, who also needs firing yesterday. As soon as possible, he needs to be relieved of his position. I’m thoroughly disgusted with the partisan conservatives who made this woman pay because their side lost the election; they make me sick to my stomach. Thanks for expressing my pov and saving me the time and trouble of having to do so. 😉

Odd Significance of 12-12-12?

12 12 12

     Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son  or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery,  interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells,  or  who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.  Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. . .Deuteronomy 18:10-12

Some considered 12/12/12 would be a day of good luck, while others considered it to be a sign of the end of an old age and the beginning of a new age. Many dooms-dayers believe 12/12/12 will be the end of the world, thanks to an interpretation of the Mayan calendarBut, most of the end-of-the-world believers are convinced that the real doomsday is on 12/21/12, when the Mayan calendar is set to end.

Last night, December 12, 2012 was exactly 6 years, 6 months, 6 days from June 6, 2006, or 06/06/06.  Odd, huh? Some  seem to be more than a little fascinated with omens, prophetic signs, or even bible prophecy, attempting to tell the future from what’s going on around us. I’m not sure that this is always a good thing. I don’t know that God, Jesus,  & His apostles wanted us so focused on divining the end of the age every moment of every day. Doing this can turn us to worry, fear, and obsession with the negative.

I don’t believe the end of the world is slated for 12-21-12. I don’t think we’ll see that until the return of Jesus Christ our Lord. The Bible says that none of us will know the day or hour that this world is going to pass away and a new earth will be created. It i’s interesting to read the various trivia of what’s out here, though.

Here in my state of Texas, I heard on the local news  several hours ago something that was pretty hard to fathom. This story is true!  Please keep the following little boy in your prayers and thoughts, as he has obviously been traumatized due to his father’s inexplicable behavior; he’s only six years old. 

Pentagram

[The pentagram, a common symbol in satanic rites and witchcraft, is significant. Also, 12/12/12 is double 6/6/6 and 666 is the sign of the beast in Revelations, a creature of pure evil]

BY DOMINGO RAMIREZ JR., DEANNA BOYD AND TERRY EVANS

RICHLAND HILLS — The father and son were alone in the house when police arrived, a freshly carved pentagram covering the young boy’s back.

Blood, apparently from the child’s wounds, had been smeared on the sides and the top of the home’s door frame — much as described in theBible during Passover.

Richland Hills police say the father, Brent Troy Bartel, 39, committed the act against his 6-year-old son, then called 911 and calmly told a dispatcher that “I shed some innocent blood.”

When asked by the dispatcher why he did it, Bartel replied, “It’s a holy day.”

Police arrested Bartel early Wednesday at the house in the older, middle-class neighborhood. Officers found the 6-year-old boy — described by a neighbor as a “cute little booger” — wearing pajama pants without a shirt.

The mother had fled to a neighboring home to get help.

“There was a large pentagram carved into his back which covered the majority of his back,” Richland Hills police Sgt. Nathan Stringer said in a news release. “The child was .. shivering in the cold so officers wrapped him in a jacket.”

The boy was transported to Cook Children’s Medical Center, where he underwent treatment for the cuts and remained there Wednesday.

Bartel was in the North Richland Hills Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail. He faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon/family member.

His mother, in a telephone interview from Portland, Ore., said her son does not have a history of mental illness but has recently been under a tremendous amount of stress.

“Brent is not a demon,” Lori Ponce said. “He is loving. He loves that boy. Something happened. Don’t paint him as some crazy man. No, that’s not him.”

His stepfather said he had been searching for his spirituality.

“He is deep into the Old Testament,” said John Ponce, his stepfather, in the telephone interview from Portland. “There’s a possibility with all of this pain and marital strife and such, he may have resorted to Old Testament references and then convoluted them. If you know about the Old Testament, there’s the Passover marks on the doorframe were done with a sacrificial lamb, definitely not sacrificial children.”

‘He’s trying to hurt my son’

Richland Hills police first responded to the home about 12:10 a.m. after Bartel called 911. A neighbor also called for police after the child’s mother had fled to the neighbor’s home.

In the 911 call, Bartel told the dispatcher that, “I inscribed a pentagram on my son.”

In the other 911 call from the neighbor, she passed along information to the dispatcher provided by the child’s mother who can be heard crying in the background.

“Something is wrong with her husband,” the neighbor told the dispatcher.

Seconds later, the dispatcher asked to talk to the child’s mother.

“He’s trying to hurt my son,” the mother says to the dispatcher.

When officers arrived at the home, Bartel and his son were inside.

“He was ordered out of the house,” Stringer said Wednesday. “I would say his demeanor was very flat. There were no indications that he was under the influence of any drugs.”

While he referenced a “holy day” when talking to a dispatcher, police said there was no mention of Wednesday’s once-in-a-century date of 12-12-12.

Investigators confiscated the box cutter that they believe was used to carve the pentagram, a religious symbol featuring a five-pointed star. Read more below:

  For you were once darkness,  but now you are light in the Lord.  Live as children of light  ( for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness,  righteousness and truth )  and find out what pleases the Lord.  Have nothing  to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,  but rather expose them. -Ephesians 5: 8-11

The Negativity of the Fox News Channel

Fox News Channel

Fox News Channel (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I watch many different news sources but rarely put my faith into just one. If  I had to choose a news source that was less partisan than the others, I would choose CSPAN. Of all the various networks though, Fox News Network has to be the most biased, outlandish, false, and blatantly negative choice of all the options I have surfed over the years.

I have actually noticed serious change take place in Christian bloggers and even personal friends & family who are regularly exposing themselves to this news source. These folk’s personalities have actually undergone a metamorphism and the change isn’t a pleasant one.

When I think about the fruits of the spirit and how these fruits are evidence of the Holy Spirit working within our lives, I don’t see these fruits overtly active in the lives of those who subscribe to Fox News; I see the opposite of the fruits of the spirit coming forth from their keyboards and virtual mouths.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” –Galatians 5:22-23

Here are some examples of what comes out of the television when one turns to Fox Cable News. The babbling pundits consistently refer to our president disrespectfully — calling him “the anointed one.”  They stretch and twist the truth and bear false witness against the president. They put a negative spin on anything having to do with him. They make mountains out of mole hills in the attempt at slurring the Democratic party, the president, and those who associate with or voted for him.

The alleged “news” emanating from this channel is spun through a negative smokescreen of bitterness, angst, rage, sour grapes, and anger.  Pretty much the gist of everything reported on it is negatively spun and turned into something it isn’t. It’s as if every iota of political and world news is filtered through something that vomits it back out into such an ugly format that it’s just unbelievable what ends up being taken in and pondered on.

The most recent Benghazi debacle was hyped up for days and turned into off the wall conspiracy theory in the see through attempt at smearing the president, the UN Ambassador, and the Obama administration all with the aim of making political gain in the election.

If one is aware of what’s going on with this news source, one doesn’t fall for this, but if one is gullible or inclined to be deceived by negative influence, I shudder to think what is happening to the minds of those who listen to this garbage day in, day out. I’ve already seen the impact upon some Christian brothers and sisters and it isn’t pretty.

Produce Good Fruit

Sincerely, I do pray that God will speak to the hearts of those who are digesting this negativity and ugliness and turn them away from it. Perhaps God will help these Christians to recoil from this as if from a hot flame. This isn’t godly and it isn’t bringing forth the fruit of the Holy Spirit in anyone’s life.

I really believe what’s coming out of this channel is propagandizing lies and evil designed to trouble the listener and destroy the beautiful presence of the Holy Spirit within the Christian life. I’ve been honestly sickened by what I’ve been hearing on that station to the point that I thought I should issue a clear warning to my brothers and sisters in Christ. Christians need to beware this news source.

Fox News Channel is akin to another individual’s unfortunate “running off at the mouth” by the name of Rush Limbaugh. This gentleman, (not), spouts lies that encourage fear, worry, rage, and every negative feeling generated under the sun. We can usually tell what is good for us by what it generates within us.  In the Bible, we are admonished as Christians:

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. — Philippians 4:8

I assure you, brethren, Fox News does not align with what we’re to be thinking about and meditating upon as Christians. Time might be better spent in prayer instead of filling our minds with such consistent negativity and hatred hour after hour. Consider changing that cable channel and opting for one less bitter and negative.  Choose something like CSPAN that offers politics from an unemotional, more objective point of view.  Please.

Censorship

Icon for censorship

Most recently, meaning within the last six months or so, I began seriously questioning the conservative side of politics, most especially what the Republican party stands for and claims to value. Because of my questioning and what I’ve been discovering, I voted for Barack Obama this most recent election; nevertheless, there are still some areas where I am firmly conservative in my thinking, as opposed to what I would call “hard-left leaning” or “liberal.”

I was reading an article about a teacher being investigated for discussing what the bible says about gay relationships. Apparently, some gay students felt persecuted and reported the discussion of the bible to parents, and “Freedom From Religion Foundation” (a Wisconsin-based atheist organization) complained and became involved.

While I don’t believe that Jesus Christ would have ever persecuted anyone for their sin, short of teaching them about the harm of it through a parable, perhaps, I also know that He didn’t censor His words for fear of hurting someone’s feelings. He didn’t particularly worry about being offensive. He told the truth even when it might offend.

I will never agree that this nation, America, should ever become so politically correct as to make it illegal to quote the bible, or share writings from any book or point of view in schools, public or private, or anywhere.

I’m very strongly against censorship. If someone’s mental health is based upon sheltering them from every offensive idea or expression of the same, than they have extremely fragile mental health and this is pathetic that they are so protected as to be insulated in a vacuüm. The lives of everyone cannot be held hostage just because someone might take offense and get their little feelers hurt; that’s just complete insanity.

We have to learn to live in this world with dissenting opinion, ideas, and the free expression of these. The day that someone dictates what we can and cannot say, think, write, draw, paint, create or express, is the day that we are slaves to a society gone out of control in its “well-meaning” intent.  I can never defend censorship of any kind.

There is also a very clear difference between censorship and prevention of bullying. Sharing what the bible says is not bullying, nor should there be a problem sharing what any religion says about anything. Those who want to make this kind of speech illegal are attempting to infringe upon our freedom of speech and we cannot allow it.  (Source)

Interview Drama

English: Fortified manor house. Rural paranoia...

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I’ve been looking for work in order to supplement my business income because I have a lot of over-budget repairs to do here on my property; I’ve got to do a lot of upkeep and save for retirement, along with my daughter’s braces, etc.

Anyway, I went and interviewed for a job yesterday. Everything went very well with the interview — I believed I had the job because I was given the gate code and told that I would be called with the time to arrive. I happily drove away, slowly backing out toward the already-opening electric gate. Suddenly, I slammed into a sort of pole thing. I guess it was a pole that stops the gate; I’m not sure what you call it. It demolished my bumper, but I don’t know if it damaged the pole or not because the gate was closing and I just continued backing out and went home.

When I got home, I called my prospective future boss and owned up to backing into the pole, speaking with his wife because he wasn’t home. I apologized to his wife, leaving a message that I hoped there was no damage done to his pole. Now, I’m just waiting to see if he calls to let me know what time to come over to start work. So far, no call. Perhaps backing into the pole-thing destroyed my opportunity.

I was nervous! And we’ve all heard the stories about women drivers, right? (chuckle — they’re true, actually). But sincerely, I do hope I didn’t blow that job by hitting that pole. It’s driving me crazy.. I’ll be so humiliated if I don’t get this job. I’ve prayed about it, and I accept whatever happens as God‘s will,  but I’ll be so very disappointed. I just can’t believe I did that!

Ron is a wonderful blogger who cares very much about bullied children, who regularly writes about their plight. Please join him in fighting these kinds of atrocities by writing and speaking to our public officials who can change the laws we currently have about bullying.

Ron Kemp's avatarronkempmusic

Tuesday, November 27th, I received this from the creator of Wipe Out Homophobia.  It was sent to him from one of his members:

Today my friend’s good friend, a seventeen year old boy by the name of Josh, killed himself after being continuously bullied for being gay. Josh had his whole life ahead of him, but the ignorant and hateful words of others caused that to be taken away from him. How many people need to die before this world realizes that something is wrong with the way we are treating people?! The constitution states that every human being has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Josh was as human as any of the rest of us, yet he was stripped of all of those rights. This needs to change. No matter gay, straight, or anything else, we all are human, and therefore must all…

Christisanity has the capability of putting things succinctly and firmly, while still being loving. Hard-hitting truth that can sting, but is sorely needed in our current world. This is a great post!

Bullying Susan Rice

This is a rant, but I will attempt to rant elegantly, in lady-like fashion, so as not to become a shrew.

Once again, I see that our future Democratic Secretary of State-to-be, Susan Rice, is making headlines due to a few grumpy, hyper-vigilant Republican senators who shall remain nameless because they don’t deserve the attention that continues to enable their tantrums.

When will the right get over losing the election? Are they going to sulk, scream, and bitch indefinitely over a loss that they’ve brought onto themselves? This isn’t about Benghazi! This is a political whine-fest designed to raise holy hell because President Obama was re-elected and the right was sent the clear message to back off and get back to work under President Obama. So why aren’t senate Republicans paying attention?

Do they really want to lose another election the next time around? Voters aren’t going to forget this nonsense, and I’m getting a little irritated with the antics of men who act like children instead of elected officials with a job to do.

Picking on the pretty little African-American gal on the political playground because you didn’t get your way is beginning to anger the American people, in my opinion. Grow up! Move forward. Wipe your noses and quit pulling Susan Rice’s pigtails. You are actually liable to get a permanent time out, if this keeps up, gentlemen.

Susan Rice isn’t your whipping boy because you failed to take the President down. Perhaps remake your failed party and upgrade it already. Begin by looking at the mistakes you’ve made again and again because you don’t care about the average American and we know it! Grow even a sliver of a compassionate bone in your political bodies and start walking the Christian, moral-majority talk you claim, instead of acting the complete opposite. You are all lousy examples of  Christianity, again, in my opinion.

Susan Rice told the truth and if you want to continue to harass someone, go to the source — the intelligence agency you have a bone to pick with, (apparently), or just get busy compromising on the fiscal cliff before Democrats drive right off of it. (They really should!) We’re fed up with your fits and starts, and frankly, you all need your bottoms paddled.

Susan Rice, welcome to the Secretary of State position, and long may you reign. Ignore the fools that keep grasping at straws in their obsessive ignorance, because no one’s fooling us. Sour grapes spoil the buffet, but we know which side that rotten fruit smell is coming from…
