I just completed a rather lengthy blog that I have posted on the right side (just above the calendar) of this Web page.  I called it, “God left America and No One Noticed.”  There are frightening times ahead, and the most important preparation that you can make is to “get right with God.”If you call yourself a Christian, that’s great; however, be certain it is the Holy Spirit of God leading you and not a deceptive spirit of the Antichrist.

For those who do not confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I would ask that you examine your life for completeness. That is, do you have peace within your heart and soul?If not and you are searching for that peace, the Holy Spirit of God may be leading you to an understanding and belief in the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ.  My blog post includes a simple prayer you may pray in the privacy of your own home that if prayed in sincerity and belief will open the door for your salvation and forgiveness.

Only through the grace of God (the Trinity)—God the Father, God the Son (manifested in Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit—can save you from the cataclysmic wrath to come.  God, the Biblical God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is the God the founders of America chose to accept as the one true God and in whom they placed their faith and trust.  It is a documented fact!

God no longer protects America, but He can protect and save you.  However, YOU must acknowledge Him, repent of your transgressions (sins) and disbelief, and accept His grace and forgiveness.

There is one last hope for America.  See Blog post dated July 5, 2010, “Prayer Requested for the United States.”

Are you willing to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?   If so, do it today before it is too late.  Let me know what you decide by emailing me at the address below.

I watched the movie 2012 this past weekend at my brother-in-law’s home.  You just can’t beat good barbeque ribs and a movie.  It was an OK movie but reminiscent of other Hollywood end time movies if you know what I mean.  There is always an extended family, and the deadbeat dad just happens to be keeping the kids for the weekend.  You do not find a lot of originality coming out of Hollywood.

It was a stretch to believe pole shifts and earth crust displacement would result only in the continent of Africa being “elevated” and saved.  An end time scenario is prophesied that will parallel the movie in terms of devastation; there will be catastrophic events and untold human suffering but only for those who were “left behind.”  If you have an interest, read the true story of the end time events in the book of Revelation. Wikipedia “pole shifts” and “earth crust” and search around for some interesting reading.  It is fascinating reading if you are into scientific stuff as I am. 

The movie ending reminded me of the Biblical story of Noah and the Ark (Genesis 6-8) and also rekindled my interest in the colonization of America.  In the Noah account of the flood, only eight people were saved and a whole boat load of animals.  I theorize that the ARK was really a floating lab that housed the DNA/genetics of different species of animals.  Once dry land reappeared, live animals that were taken would be used in the cloning process of other animal species.  God does have His ways, but sometimes He must explain history to man in simplistic stories. 

The colonization of America is a story of conquest, but also a story of God’s direct interaction with our founding fathers in the American Revolution. What God helped established for good, man ultimately corrupted when they asked God to leave.  When men of integrity and faith are followed by godless men who seek power and wealth, a society begins its slow decay as we are now witnessing in the downfall our beloved United States.  But, let’s get back to the movie. 

In the movie, the intelligentsia of society and the rich who could afford to buy a ticket were the only people identified as worthy to be saved from the coming doom; a few “undesirables” were thrown in for political correctness and, of course, were the heroines.  As I recall, seven ships were specifically prepared by the Chinese to harbor the “anointed ones” until the catastrophic events occurring on the earth ended.  Apparently only three ships survived. As they set a course to the continent of Africa, which was the only continent to survive, what crossed my mind was, “well here we go again.”

The rich and intelligent of society would set their sights on the conquest of Africa.  What do you want to bet that this godless bunch will marginalize the native populace in much the same way the American Indian was subdued. By instituting their own form of slavery and eugenics they will conquer Africa, assuming there were people left on the continent that did survive; after all there might be undesirables and selective breeding will be the order of the day.  With only the rich and intelligent surviving, who is going to do all the mundane work?  They will have to have household servants.  During the movie the power was interrupted several times by a thunderstorm so I might have missed some of the more revealing insights.

The Progressive-Socialist-Marxist-Communist (PSMC) movements (an appropriate description, I think) of the past unfortunately have a history of racism and ethnic cleansing atrocities. These godless men and their man made values and moralities are prone to all types of evil all done in the name of humanity and progress; history bears this out.  They think of themselves as the intelligent and the deserving.  After all, they would maintain, the uneducated and unmotivated are incapable of caring and governing themselves.

The PSMC see African-Americans only as pawns in their power grab for dominance. For Germany it was the Jew who was vilified. Why African-Americans continue to support the Democratic Party mystifies me.  Democrats stood in the way of integration in the sixties, have been prominent KKK members, are supporters of abortion for “betterment of society (eugenics for better breeding),” they deny the sanctity of marriage and traditional family values by promoting and supporting the Gay right initiatives, and they are strong promoters of welfare as a means of keeping minorities in slavery. 

Until Black Americans, who do not typically support the Democratic Party agenda, can convince their African-American brothers that the Democratic Party is not their friend, African-Americans will remain in their plight.  President Obama was thought to be their savior.  It is a shame he and most of his political machine organizers and workers (PSMC proponents) only care for their vote and not their need for education, family values and jobs. 

Your thoughts are welcomed.

“The fool (the morally deficient) says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They (the fool) are corrupt, their deeds are vile, there is no one who does good.” Psalm 14:1 NIV.

 There is a divide—a political and racial divide in America that has reached epic proportions.  This divide cannot be resolved unless God, the divine creator of the universe, is invited to return to the American shores and to the hearts of its people. 

Regardless of any man’s attempt either in the past or in the future to create a utopian Progressive-Socialist-Marxist-Communist society all efforts have failed. In the remaining days of man’s rule on earth even President Obama will not be successful; catastrophic events culminating in the second coming of Jesus Christ will prevent him from achieving his ultimately objective of obtaining a leadership position in the coming one world government.  You can read all about it in the book of Revelation. 

Man’s inept attempts to care for and maintain the earth as he was originally instructed (Genesis 1:28) have always been thwarted by man’s greed and lust for power.  While coming events were prophesized thousands of years ago, the “intelligent man” has refused to believe these prophesies and has followed the evil desires of his heart rather than following the creators laws and commandments. 

Words are not going to change our divide.  President Obama and his entourage (czars, cabinet members and etc.), the Democratic Party, and many Democratic Party voters are using racism, the homosexual agenda, legalized abortions (baby killing to be more specific), redistribution of wealth, a Godless society and a Progressive Socialist-Marxist-Communist agenda platform that promises to “fundamentally change America.”  This is not God’s plan, but it is man’s plan and in the end will fail. 

For many years godlessness has been accepted as the politically correct agenda for America. Ever so slowly its righteous people have been resting comfortably in the frying pan, and the heat has gradually been turned up.  America and its people will soon be fried.  It is almost too late now to escape the frying pan, but there are still a few months left until the November elections. 

If God fearing Americans are willing to stand up against the Progressive Socialist-Marxist Communist leaning Democrats and Republicans (yes, there are godless and immoral Republicans) and are successful in electing political representatives who are people of integrity and who will uphold the “old American morality, integrity and belief in God,” then America can be changed.  That is, returned to its founding structure as designed by its Revolutionary Founders. 

For God fearing Americans, it is time to “Hunker Down” to borrow a sport call made by Larry Munson, sports announcer for the University of Georgia, during an Auburn vs. University of Georgia football game.  Are you willing to Hunker Down and assume a peaceful but powerful stance of resistance against the political, religious and social ideology of the radical left and its leaders? 

I don’t mean just forwarding emails.  Will you write your Representatives and Senators challenging them to defend America against a Progressive Socialist-Marxist-Communist take over?  Will you vote in the coming elections? Are you a supporter of the Tea Party members who seek only to limit the size of government and to restore government integrity or do you support the new Black Panther group’s ideology of reparation and liberation theology?  Just where do you stand on the issues of today? 

Stand firm now and become vocal in your support to bring God back to America. Demand integrity of your elected official, reject immorality, support family values, reject biased liberal network news and return to the values that can once again make America the envy of the world.

I am somewhat amused by the protestors in Arizona who are concerned that illegal aliens might be wrongly and intentionally targeted by the police and immigration authorities; amused in the sense that one day these same people who are protesting will gladly accept an implant or a mark on their body (Revelation 13:16) that will be used for identification and to track their every movement. President Obama and his entourage have sided with the illegal aliens for political reasons rather than to uphold the existing laws of the land, and they will be proponents of this identification system. 

America’s illegal alien problems can be laid at the feet of the governing authorities, both Democrats and Republicans, and to individuals who blindly ignored the laws for their own personal benefit.  I consider myself one of those since I allowed undocumented workers to cut my grass, clean my house and do building maintenance and repair work on my property. 

At first they were inexpensive and “underground.” Now they are mainstream. Their job pricing or work pricing is pure capitalistic.  In other words, their prices have gone up based upon the nasty old capitalistic supply and demand theory. Their quality of work and work ethic was and still is exceptional; at least that has been my experience.  You too may have also turned a blind eye, but even if you did not you certainly benefited from lower grocery pricing, faster fast food service and numerous other services that have been provided by illegal alien workers. 

The problems are now so many that sending these people home is no longer a viable option.  Illegal aliens who have integrated themselves into neighborhoods, local schools, business ventures and who have become contributing members of society cannot simply be deported to their home of origin. Our economy would suffer, as there would be no one to do the work they perform.  Sure, we have unemployed citizens, but they are not willing to do what they consider menial work.

Gang members and other criminal elements of the illegal society can most certainly, and should be, rounded up and deported. Why are we as a nation not doing this? 

The illegal alien problem cannot be resolved as long as divisive individuals and organizations—President Obama, Nancy Pelosi,  major network news and perhaps the new NAACP—refer to the Tea Party members and supporters of Arizona’s immigration law as racially motivated in an attempt to discredit and marginalize these individuals for political reasons only.  Give law-abiding citizens of the United States a break!  We want honesty and integrity restored to our government. 

That’s my simplistic view of the illegal alien situation America finds itself in.  Name-calling, protesting and other acts of hostility should cease, and the Legislative Branch of our government should debate this issue and find a solution.  In the mean time, close the borders and stop the political bickering. 

I have heard it suggested that a law is needed that will prevent illegal aliens from ever obtaining the right to vote (no amnesty granting citizenship and voting rights) as long as they did not enter the United States under existing immigration laws as they are written today?  No voting status, no problem. 

What do you think?

“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?  If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.” (1 Corinthians 3:16-17 NIV).  

I failed to follow my nutritional and exercise regimen during the month of June and most of July.  Why did I deviate?  I’ll use the excuse that I was traveling most of the time; those buffet meals and fast food stops can be killers.  I wrote of my western Trafalgar tour, and it is posted on this site.  My annual trip to the Fiddler’s convention in Smithville, Tennessee during the week of the fourth of July and stay with my brother added to my excuse; bacon and eggs, grilled steaks (my brother is an excellent cook) and barbecue at the festival were just too much to overcome.

This week I am in Clearwater, Florida.  Well, to be exact, I am in Bellaire Beach, Florida staying at my mother-in-law’s home. I just returned from a two-mile walk on the beach.  No “oil balls” to report in this area.  It felt great. 

Prior to June I was maintaining my weight at 185-186 pounds. This morning I weighed in at 190 pounds.  I can tell the difference so my goal is to return to my regimen and to bring my weight down to the 180-182 pound range.  While I did not totally blow my nutritional program, I am still trying to eat six small meals a day.  I did cutback on my exercise routine and that was not good.  For me, exercise is a key ingredient in maintaining my target weight. Today I am back on schedule.  My waist pant size remains at 34 inches, down from a 38, but the stomach flab has grown somewhat; it has got to go. 

Late in June I did a nuclear stress test.  I do not have my results, but I feel like I did better on this test than I did on the test I did a year ago.  No angina pains, and they had me running the last minute to get my heart beating at the minimum level needed to do the final injection; medicine that controls how fast my heart can beat was stopped twenty-four hours prior to the test, but apparently it needs to be stopped for forty-eight hours or longer.  I am convinced that my heart is repairing itself, and that when I do finally cross over (an old term for death) it will be from some other cause rather than from heart problems. 

One last thought. At my present age I do not plan to allow doctors to control my longevity of life.  For instance, if I were diagnosed with prostate cancer I would not accept any treatment. It would just have to run its course.  I have seen too many people allow treatments that perhaps prolonged their lives but did not give them quality of life for the pain and suffering they endured.  Of course, until ObamaCare kicks in you can do as you please with your own life.   Stay tuned.  I’ll provide updates when available.

I was pleased to see Dr. Charles Stanley in his latest address to his congregation specifically identify his concerns regarding the financial, political and religious direction the United States of America is headed.  More pastors should be doing the same.

It will be interesting to see if our government escalates its future plans to silence those who are attempting to awaken both the “silent majority” and the professing Christians who have not stood and spoken the truths that they confess.

If you are at all concerned about the future of America for your children and grandchildren, I would encourage you to watch his July the Fourth sermon entitled, “Turning the Tide “ and his request for all who would to join him in his crusade for prayer entitled “Turning the Tide of Our Nation Through Prayer, 140 days of Intercession For America. “ 

Go to www.intouch.org, click on BROADCAST in the header and in the next screen click on the “This Week on TV, watch now” link.  We only have a short time left until the November elections.  If we fail to act, our country’s downward spiral into the godless pit of sexual immorality, political chaos, greed and corruption, and a continuation of our environmental disaster will only continue at an ever increasing acceleration until the country as we once knew it is destroyed.

Several months ago I wrote my Senators and Representative and ask that they publicly declare whom their Lord and Savior really was that they confess and worship (I have seen them in their “religious clothing” at my local church).  They have not responded.  Apparently, like many, they are “closet Christians” and only choose to be religious in church.  It is time for them to stand!

I have made the commitment, will you?
