Pentecost... Baby!

2013-05-19T19:38:00.000-04:00

Of all the holidays Christians celebrate in our time I stand in amazement of how well the god of this world has been so successful at blinding God's people on what is truly the most spectacular event to happen to man since paradise. (Granted he's had a coupl'a thousand years to cover it up but make no mistake. For the most part he... the god of this world... has been very successful.) No,

A Child's Rights

2012-11-25T02:01:00.001-05:00

When you were born into this world more than likely you were born into a family. And being such you instantly gained rights by the law of the nation you were born into. If that nation is a charter member of the United Nations there's even more, including the right to play. What are a child's rights? The FindLaw.com website in a broad stroke defines these rights as follows, "Children have a

The Integrity Of God's Word

2012-11-04T17:53:00.000-05:00

The integrity of God's Word. What does that mean? What does it matter? Perhaps an oxymoron for most, (you know... like jumbo shrimp, government intelligence?!) but I do believe the indoctrination of the religions/denominations we've all been exposed to since birth vexes those of us wanting to have a true relationship with God. Religion by definition is any man made form of worship and stands

Post Labor Day Fun

2012-09-04T16:33:00.000-04:00

Not really much to celebrate this year (again!) as a nation concerning labor in the U.S. with 23 million Americans out of work and/or underemployed. The U.S.Debt Clock showing the national debt just rolled over the $16,000,000,000,000 mark while I was writing this. We are losing our grip on our national prosperity. Corporate greed and political mishandlings have gotten us here. And it's

Still Here, Still Standing

2012-05-22T23:38:00.000-04:00

It's been a while since I posted. Obvious to those that follow me yes but for my readers that don't really know me outside of this blog and have been checking back and seeing nothing new I offer this post as an explanation. But first I would like to thank you for your patience. If you are of this group and haven't joined us on Facebook I'd like to take this moment to invite you and anyone else

Spring Into Growth!

2012-03-31T13:52:00.000-04:00

Is it... or is it not that spring is the most anticipated season of the four? Winter's frozen grip is slowly released as the days grow longer and the sun elevates in the sky. No doubt our crave for warmth rooted deep within us genetically from our primal past. Is there anything better than being on a sun drenched beach, hearing the crashing of the surf, bathed in sunlight?! Almost as it

Death Can Really Suck The Life Out Of You...

2012-03-19T21:49:00.000-04:00

Death. Is there anything that's been more feared by men and women through out all time? All we really know about it from our perception is that up to this point, it happens to everything that survives birth, spawn or germination. It seems a tragedy that there has to be a final end to anything with life... And to look at it from a human point of view... especially us! These bodies we've

Chemtrails

2012-02-26T18:53:00.000-05:00

Have you seen them? These white, fuzzy trails in a blue, windless sky that go from horizon to horizon? These so-called "chemtrails" that don't dissipate as we're accustomed to observing when we see our air-borne vehicles transferring cargo and passengers. I 've seen them. As I recall, I have seen longer than normal contrails (jet airplane condensation trail) at times on vessels way up in

Remote Controlled

2012-02-19T15:15:00.002-05:00

Here we are. Just on the down side of winter. The middle of February. February. The shortest, yet longest month of the year for us sunshine addicts. Longer darkness for the day than sunlight. Or… should it be looked at as “on the up side” being as we’re soooo close to spring once we get past this month?! This is when that feared “cabin fever” phenomenon starts picking its victims ya

Faith - Hope - Love

2012-02-12T20:23:00.000-05:00

Any one raised with or near any of the different flavors of "Christianity" available today has at one time or another come across this concept. Faith, love, hope. I Corinthians 13:13. Many a believer's favorite verse too. And for good reason! These three individual aspects of life combined with an accurate knowledge of the scriptures and applied in proper context makes available a genuine

Be Prepared!

2012-02-04T19:23:00.000-05:00

There's been an approaching storm warning out all day. The weather has been unseasonable for weeks. Forecasters are predicting one of the worse storms in a generation but you've been so busy you haven't heard. You're headed home in a hard wind and darkening skies attempting to beat the spouse and kids home at the end of the day when you turn on the radio and hear there's a tornado warning

Jerky Direct - To You!

But first, let me share this with you. Some of you are faithful Stump followers. Some of you are becoming familiar with this site. Some, brand new. Just so ya know? I love ya'll!

God Bless America Day Proposal

2012-01-14T09:04:00.000-05:00

You’ve heard of Christmas in July? I was wondering the other day why doesn’t anyone do an Independence Day in January?! How 'bout we give it a try! We could dress up as patriotic snow people, or Uncle Sam even! The common greeting on this day could be... "Happy Julanury 4th!" Nah... that dudn't sound right. How about God Bless America Day? The day's greeting would be "God Bless America! And

Mindful

2012-01-03T20:00:00.000-05:00

It happens annually. An old year departs, a new year begins. Resolutions are made, the New Years glasses are sported, the champagne flows, lips get puckered up, the ball drops and we get mindful of the year past. A time to remember the news events and the celebrities that died the previous year. A time to recall our own successes and failures as well as those we care about. And although we

Thankfulness

2011-11-24T08:30:00.000-05:00

Thanksgiving Day. Many an American's favorite holiday of the year. It's thought its roots are in thankfulness to one's god for abundance received and it is truly perceived to be the only Christian American holiday we have in our American culture. Truth is... the festivities at the time was an observance brought from Europe and has actually been seen in many cultures through time as a

The Marine Corps Birthday

2011-11-10T06:12:00.001-05:00

Well America. November 10, 2012 marks the 237th birthday of your United States Marine Corps. There is a rich history left behind from each generation of leathernecks and devil dogs and jarheads. Here's a few things you might like to know about your Marine Corps. A resolution drafted by a Continental Congress committee in Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, PA passes on November 10, 1775. The

Agape. Such A Love As This!

2011-11-06T19:18:00.000-05:00

Do you know how to love someone? Do you really know? We all know human, or natural love but natural love falls short for that which you and I really need to sustain us through this life. Natural love seems to need categorized by most humans. Love for spouse. Love for children. Love of family. Love of country. There is a spiritual love that trumps all these and sadly to say many (if not most

The Sky Is Falling!

2011-09-24T19:26:00.000-04:00

If any fable could sum up what folly unwarranted fears given too much attention can do it's the story of Chicken Little. Good intentions I suppose but a lesson there to be learned for sure. Unless the effort is based on reality any good intention is pointless. Like catching a 40 yard touchdown out of bounds. A lot of wasted exertion and effort for something profitless. If not... as the story

Should Home Based Bible Studies Be Government Approved?

2011-09-18T20:43:00.001-04:00

WorldNetDaily.com has been tracking a story for a few years that should be given some notice. It seems to have begun in the spring of 2009 in San Diego, CA, reached out to Gilbert, AZ in late winter 2010 and has spread recently to San Juan Capistrano, CA. A story that can boggle your mind on how a local ordinance could be passed that violates at least two basic liberties guaranteed in the

9/11 Is Remembered

2011-09-11T14:31:00.000-04:00

All this talk recently leading up to today, the 10 year anniversary of the attacks on the people of the United States of America by Islamic extremist terrorists got me to ponder a few things. Honestly?... I think it's gotten me down some! You can't help but feel at least a twinge of the pain upon recalling the travesty forced upon all civilized people... some more than others. "The Day

Labor Day USA 2011

2011-09-04T14:52:00.000-04:00

As American holidays go?... Labor Day has a uniqueness all its own. Not as American as Americans may think. Known as "May Day" in socialist and communist countries, this observance of man's works is quite popular among mostly Caucasian populated nations through out eastern Europe. Termed May Day in Europe, Labour Day in Canada. A recognition and celebration of man's accomplishments. Of what

Separation Of Church And State

2011-08-25T22:56:00.006-04:00

Let's take a look at separation of church and state shall we? One of the brilliant beams of genius in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution's first amendment. And not only in the first amendment but in the very first sentence of the first amendment. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,

Aircraft Carriers, Reptiles, Dogged Tomatoes Plus...

2011-08-21T17:35:00.004-04:00

I have a few things for you here. Just some interesting things I've come across this week. And! I've been wanting to share an older story of mine with ya'll. My first published story in a small bedroom community newspaper I wrote for in 2006 I believe. You'll find Dogged Tomatoes at the bottom of this post. First however...
