Killing my Ol’ Man

June 12th, 2009 · 3:10 pm

My Ol’ Man is a vile excuse for a human being! Every day I am confronted with and disgusted by his lack of care and love for his own wife and children, and I think it is time for him to die. You think me harsh or cruel? You ask me how dare I suggest such a thing? You have no idea what we have been put through because of his selfish, destructive, coarse, and abusive lifestyle. His callous disregard of the welfare of those who depend on him has been a constant grinding-away of our souls, especially for me. I have come to hate him. I have seen him hurt his wife and children – but it is ME he has hurt most. It is ME he has abused most. It is ME he has embarrassed and discredited most.
I want him dead. I have tried to kill him before and failed, but I will try again and again until I see the life drained from his mocking eyes. I will exult in his death! I will rejoice in it and will not have remorse. Murder, you say? Continue reading…

The Potter, Part Two - Trust

January 11th, 2009 · 12:31 pm

Most pots think they are smart. They are mistaken. There are pots that think they are smarter than most other pots. This may be true, but in the end it can be to their disadvantage. Most pots believe they are special. This is also true, but it, too, can be a disadvantage. The pots who think they are smarter than others who also think they are more special than other pots are in real trouble. The problem is that these pots tend to think deeply about certain subjects, and are impressed with themselves about this ability. This might be humorous, seeing, after all that they are in fact just pots, if the consequences were not so tragic. When a pot is given some measure of awareness of the Truth by the Potter the pot may think it sees much more of the Truth than it does, in fact, see. This leads to a bit of self-importance: “Listen to ME! I have Truth!” The self-importance in turn leads to a focus on ones self. This is a bad thing for pots. When a pot focuses on itself it may forget its purpose, not to mention the fact that the pot has now become more concerned with itself than the world of Truth it has only begun to explore.
In the case of the pot of the previous story the combination of some Truth with self-absorption led to the pot seeing that Continue reading…

The Potter, Part One - Hopelessness

October 5th, 2008 · 1:15 pm

The Potter lovingly and carefully formed the pot. The pot was perfect. It was not made for great things, but was just right for what the Potter intended. He cultivated good and beautiful things in the pot. But the pot was not happy with what he was, and, seeking happiness, brought vile and corrupt things into the pot, often killing the beautiful things the Potter put there. The pot knew it was wrong to bring the vile and corrupt things in, but he did not trust the Potter to make him happy, so he continued to bring in the vile things. He got to trust in the vile and corrupt things to make him happy, even though he knew the Potter loved him. He was torn - wanting both the Potter and the vile things. Eventually the stress on the pot became too much for him, for he was not a strong pot, and the pot shattered. In his broken shards the pot tried to hold a little of the vile and corrupt things. He could not hold much in the shallow shards, but he persisted.

Now the Potter had a beautiful Bride he was preparing to wed. She lived in a dark land and occasionally would get an infection - a boil - that the Potter knew was ruining her perfection. So the Potter would reach down and take one of the broken shards, and after shaking off the vile and corrupt things it was holding the Potter would use its sharp edges to scrape the boil so as to open the infection to the air and the light. In this way he healed his Bride. The broken pot sees how much the Potter loves his Bride. It is a dirty and dishonorable job, and often the Bride resists when she sees the sharp edges of the shard coming. The pot shard causes pain. The Bride hates the broken pot, and rarely thanks the Potter for using it. Continue reading…

Suicide! - Duck and Run, by 3 Doors Down

August 2nd, 2008 · 8:44 am

3 Doors Down has a song called “Duck and Run” that I really like. Here’s a part of the lyrics and the reason I like it:

All my work and endless measures
Never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch now
Even though I’m trying so damn hard
I’m trying so hard…

The Freshman sat in his dorm room at the University of Texas at Arlington. Everything was ready for leaving. The instructions concerning his stuff were written. The charter fishing boat in Galveston, Texas had been located. The charter rate was fairly cheap, as this was mid-week instead of on a weekend. All of The Freshman’s belongings in the room were neatly packed, except for the weight belt, of course. He had cast his own weights for SCUBA diving out of lead. The belt was fully loaded (it would take him down deep and down fast), but could be hidden under the long, loose shirt he wore. By the time the charter fishing boat operator could react to The Freshman being overboard it would be too late - The Freshman would be too far down, out of reach. Safe. Finally safe.
The Freshman took one last look around. He was calm, having planned his exit for weeks. He loved the water, and this way there would be no body to bury, no expensive casket and burial plot to cost his parents money. The Freshman had cost them enough. It all made sense: Why stay here? This life was futile. Pain. More pain. Uselessness. Time to check out, lift the burden. He had explained it all in the letter that would be found here in the dorm room. Continue reading…

How to create the new world order (NWO)

July 3rd, 2008 · 5:40 pm

Remember that the people who want to control our world - our lives - our money, don’t even know what drives them. This is because the conspiracy is spiritual first. Many times there is no visible physical conspiracy, so we make fun of the conspiracy theorists (some of them are pretty funny, self included…).
But to create this NWO that the powers-that-be want they must destroy the people of God and prevent others from coming to God. The best way to do this is to destroy the very picture of our spiritual relationship with God here on earth - the family. First, you split up the Christians by creating all kinds of different sects (remember - Christ said not to do it!). We call these denominations (namings). So instead of calling ourselves followers of Christ we call ourselves Baptists, Catholics, Presbyterians, Lutherans, etc., etc., etc. OK, now get them all to violently disagree on doctrine by ignoring parts of, or stretching the interpretation of scripture the different groups are not comfortable with. (Are we here to be comfortable?)
OK, that breaks us up into more manageable groups and distracts us from our mission of reaching the world for Christ by getting us to quibble or by being hypocrites for violating scripture by worshiping idols.
Next we directly attack the family, now that the church is not cohesive. Abortion is a good start - if people are so selfish that they will sacrifice their own children then their consciences will be thoroughly seared. That’ll keep’em from God. Eventually we can make it illegal for parents to kiss their children without government approval or they will be considered child-molesters.

WHAT?
He said WHAT?

Think I’m nuts, do you? Read this:
Government Permission Required For Parents To Kiss Children

If you think about it, even if the news item were to prove false, you can see we are heading this way as we lose more and more parental rights to government agencies and school districts, who are just assuming they can do so without law, permission, or right.

Pizza Hut thinks it’s OK for their employees to die for a few bucks

June 21st, 2008 · 11:01 am

Years ago I had contracted with Coburn’s Barbecue in Big Town, near Dallas, Texas to do some overnight repairs to the restaurant. I had two employees with me, including one young man I had hired just for this one job. When the managers were ready to leave they came over to where we were unloading our tools from my truck and made and interesting inquiry. They asked if we were armed. This was before we had concealed-carry here in Texas. My regular employee and I exchanged glances. I asked “What do you mean?” The manager said “Do you have guns on you?” I wanted to know why he would ask that. His reply was “Because I’m not leaving you here alone all night in this part of town if you are not armed.” My employee grinned, and I assured them that, yes indeed, we were carrying. The managers said good, and goodnight. After they left my young temporary employee, his eyes wide said “But, but I don’t have a gun!” I pulled out a large hunting knife and gave it to him, saying “Use this, then.” He was again reassured and happy. We worked hard all night without incident – and without fear.

On April the third of this year the Des Moines Register reported that James Spiers, a 10-year employee of Pizza Hut, was fired for carrying a concealed handgun while on the job. Spiers was a pizza delivery guy. He knew about the dangers of his job and legally obtained a concealed carry license for his own protection. He carried his gun in spite of a prohibition to do so by Pizza Hut Corporation.
Spiers was found out when he had to defend himself against Continue reading…

Taxing Carbon & ‘Greenhouse emissions’ – the new global tax scheme

June 21st, 2008 · 10:12 am

More and more draconian laws are being proposed and passed to address the “problem of global warming”, in spite of the fact that increasing numbers of scientists, and I mean a lot of scientists, are denouncing the lack of true science and data behind the global warming/ greenhouse emissions warnings we are hearing about daily from politicians (yeah, the experts!) and, particularly, the UN. See this article from World Net Daily about The Petition Project(link), a movement to expose the lie of global warming from a scientist’s point of view.
So why do we hear all these politicians and political bodies preaching this doomsday message? The answer is in their proposed solutions. See this on a proposed carbon tax by a Canadian politician. Also, look at all the carbon tax initiatives to discourage people from creating carbon. Notice that companies can buy carbon ‘credits’. It is all about money for governments, and that means money and control for politicians and political entities such as the UN. Right now there are those who are proposing a carbon tax on having children, as the children will make more carbon. Continue reading…

Ricki Lake, home childbirth, and our money

June 20th, 2008 · 10:10 am

Fox News reports (here) that Ricki Lake is under fire from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the AMA for advocating home childbirth. They contend that home is not the safest place to have a baby, instead stating that the safest place is in a hospital, birthing center, or other “approved” facility. Well, of course they would say that, not because it is true, but because if the trend continues they will lose their hold (read that as ‘source of income’) on the general public. To try to retain their hold on our money, these medical associations want to pass legislation to force us to pay them for what women have done for millennia without them: (from the article)

The AMA resolves in the statement to support state legislation “that helps ensure safe deliveries and healthy babies by acknowledging that the safest setting” is a hospital, connected birthing center or other approved facility.

This is big business taking away our freedoms in order to take our money.
We had our first two children in a hospital. We elected for natural childbirth, but in the hospital’s birthing room. Our first daughter was born with the help of two interns and myself, as the nurse refused to call our physician, even after I emphatically informed her that the baby was crowning and my wife was at 10 cm. dilation! The doctor got there well after the birth. Then the hospital personnel got upset when, after two hours, we were ready to go home. Were they worried about the baby? Were they worried about my wife? No, they wanted us to check into a hospital room, even if only for a few minutes, so they could charge us for it.

Our next child, a boy, was born at the same facility. We had instructed the doctor and staff NOT to give my wife any drugs, such as Pitocin. Pitocin is commonly used to make the uterus clamp down to stop bleeding. Interestingly, if you just let the baby nurse right away, the mother’s body releases a substance which does the same thing, naturally and gently – unlike the ‘hard’ clamp-down of Pitocin. Pitocin is also transferred through breastfeeding to the baby. You can’t make me believe this is good for a newborn. Continue reading…

Homosexual Brains

June 16th, 2008 · 7:57 pm

According to Reuters, researchers wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that brain scans of homosexual men showed similarities with the scans of heterosexual women, and the scans of homosexual women showed similarities with heterosexual men. Specifically they said the scans showed that homosexual men and heterosexual women have more symmetrical lobes, whereas homosexual women and heterosexual men have similarly unsymmetrical lobes. They also noted that blood flow in the ‘fight or flight’ area of the brain was similar in homosexual women and heterosexual men.
Hmm, so are we to conclude that, hey, if there are similarities like this then there is a biological reason for homosexuality? Or does it stand to reason Continue reading…

Should we make up rituals to please God?

June 16th, 2008 · 7:09 pm

Reuters reports that, after a couple had been caught having sex in a church confessional in Rome, “the bishop celebrated a “Mass of reparation” in the cathedral where the confessional box incident took place to make up for the sacrilege”. OK, so repentance before Christ isn’t good enough. And renouncing the act as sin isn’t enough. Instead the Catholic Church has to have a religious ceremony to repay God for the sin and, I suppose, re-sanctify the cathedral. Again we find the Catholic Church engaged in denying what the Bible teaches and resorting to pagan ritual to try to appease God. Jesus was pretty clear about what it takes to please Him, and it certainly isn’t some ritual that was designed by man and is in truth for man.

Mt 15:7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;
9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’
