Ezekiel 33:8-9
“When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.”

My son lost another friend to suicide, another Gen X child. I know these adults believe their physical or mental pain is unbearable. Perhaps they did not understand the depths of despair they leave behind for every family member and friend. Nor did they understand this act is a departure of and failure of their faith. I wish I had an opportunity to talk to them.
In large part I blame the school systems for teaching a proven lie, named evolution. According to evolution humans are created accidentally out of pond scum that evolved into apes, and then evolved into you and I. What a deplorable lie. We know from many things that we are created beings, not the least of which is the digital code of our DNA.
To accept that we are created, one must repent of their sins, and endeavor to live turning from sin. But the alternative is not taught in schools, and we can all blame ourselves for this. If they were taught that they were deliberately, “fearfully, and wonderfully made” they would feel special, and loved by The Lord that created them. Taking their own lives means they had no solid belief that God had a special plan for their lives.
I also blame the families who stopped going to their churches of their youth, when their churches were taken over by evil purpose. Some turned away because they did not have the drive to do anything about the casualness of sin in the 21st century. Turning from sin is easier than many believe. Once I accepted the gospel regarding Jesus Christ, a change happened in me. I feel the Lord 24/7/365 inside of me. I talk to Him all the time, not only when life gets a bit too much for me to deal with.
My faith is strong and steady. I know that The Lord created me. The Bible speaks of The Lord knowing you before you were in your mother’s womb. He created you and knows you. He loves you and wants you to come to Him of your own free will.
Consider these verses:
Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV) “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
“Psalm 139:13-14 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
“Isaiah 44:24 (KJV) Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;”
“Galatians 1:15 (KJV) But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,”
“Ephesians 1:4 (KJV) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:”
The Lord wants you to come to Him of your own volition. You have a choice yes or no – no gray areas – no maybes. The World tries to woo you to foil God’s plans for you.
“Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
The Lord also expects you to live by faith, and to know He exists based solely on the magnitude of His Creation. The Bible says there will be no excuses good enough for not knowing He is your Creator.
“Romans 1:16-25
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”
It is not too late to come to The Lord.
It is not too late to help your adult children back to Christ.
It is not too late to change what our children are being taught in school.
It is not too late to recover your church from un-Biblical forces.
It is not too late to turn America back on a Godly path.
It is not too late to become a teacher in your church.
It is not too late to run for political office for one or two turns as your civic duty; setting an example.
IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO TALK TO THE YOUNG FOLKS IN OUR REPUBLIC, TELLING THEM THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE, AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM YOU CANNOT HELP THEM WITH. Maybe we can stop the suicides.

Are we proud of ourselves? The Christian population, by the millions, showed up to vote for President Trump. Many had not bothered to vote in the prior two Presidential elections. The comparative volume of people who voted for Trump is most likely larger than any of us realize. We not only overcame those who voted for Clinton but overcame the vast numbers of illegal aliens who voted, and the tampering with voting machines done by those who deal in political “insurance policies.” If you adjust for all these illegal shenanigans, Trump would have won by a popular vote landslide. I have read enough from all sides to know this is true. (I.e. If you have 5,000 eligible voters, and 8,000 votes are cast – all for her – the computers have been tampered with.)
Parts of the Bible are written for the Jew, and parts are written for the Christian, but all is written for our learning and understanding. When I write, it is for the Christian majority; but similarly, all are welcome to glean what they may. So, here goes . . . Many Christians have expressed their disappointment in not having the obvious landslide we feel we earned. Let us delve a little deeper as to why.
Many are looking to modern-day prophets for answers. I look to The Bible and my Lord and Savior, Jesus for answers. I take it to prayer and ask for the answers I seek. Prophecy comes from what we see in all the scriptures, for PROPHECY IS PATTERN. To quote my favorite Bible Commentator, Dr. Chuck Missler, there are “66 books by 40 authors and we now find that it (the Bible) is an integrated message system from outside our time domain.” The only way to explain the miracle of the multitude of cross references throughout the Bible, and the consistency of pattern, is that the Holy Spirit is the author manifested through the 40 writers. One must read it and study it to understand the wisdom. My Mamma understood this when she gave me my first Bible. She wrote, “read it with love and love it.”
You may be asking me what does this have to do with our election of Trump? The knowledge in The Bible is the roadmap for our lives, and the gift of our salvation. We each need a clear vision of this roadmap to be successful in every aspect of our lives. After millions of American Christians voted for Trump, what did they do next? Was it appropriate to receive the landslide we had prayed for? Let us look at some appropriate questions for American Christians:
1. As a Christian, are you doing all you can do for your country; or do you expect others to magically
do all you believe should be done?
2. Voter fraud of several types happened, coast to coast. Did you say something when you saw it? Did
you demand an investigation?
3. Did you volunteer to help a Christian of shared beliefs / ideals run for office?
4. Did you, as a Christian, run for local, state, or federal office?
5. As a Christian, have you bonded with like-minded adults to improve your school system for
Christian children?
6. WE CANNOT LEAVE OUR CHRISTIANITY AT THE DOOR TO WORK, SCHOOL, OR PLAY. Did you speak
up at your church for Christian Conservative folks running for office?
7. Did you think “MAGA” (Make America Great Again) is something Trump (in the viper’s nest of
Washington) was going to accomplish for you?
8. Last year a young man, in a public place, had his red MAGA hat snatched off his head by a rude
and evil behaving grown man. What kind of America is this that every adult of all political parties
did not put a stop to such behavior on the spot, and hold the man until the police arrived?
“Making America Great Again” without an American Christian Spiritual Awakening in the 80% who claim to be Christian, IS NOTHING. When Christians are absent from the process of Public Service (everyone we vote for, and those they appoint), SATAN WILL FILL THE VOID and win the hearts and minds of our young, and older milk / lukewarm Christians.
Matthew 12:25 KJV And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:”
Matthew 12:30 KJV [Jesus said,] “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.”
The exposure of the enemies within is about to get real in America. The White Hats have been preparing America for what is about to be exposed. We are about to once again become the America of good example for the world to follow – UNLESS – we continue to allow the enemies within to divide us. The whole world is watching us and will follow our lead. We will lead for good or for evil, only time will tell the continuing story of America Great Again, or NOT. It is up to you and me.
Take a deep cleansing breath; decide where you will begin or resume Bible study with family and friends; decide to worship Jesus and no other; come into the light and be the leader you know you can be – in your family, community, state, and nation.
Thank you Lord for these words.
I pray there are more to come, and I can resume regular writing.

I have had no high hopes regarding any POTUS, SCOTUS, Senator, or Governor bringing total justice and salvation to WE THE PEOPLE. My heart, my soul, my gut has been telling me for many weeks not to put any faith in these men. The Lord will use them for His purpose in His timing, and for that I am truly thankful. I only have faith and trust in my Lord, my King, and Savior, Jesus Christ.
There will be much ado about trials and tribunals in January, and probably through the entire 2019. WE THE PEOPLE will seem to win the day, and there will be justice for some. Hopefully it will not take much time for WE THE PEOPLE to realize that our only hope is in a different kind of change.
You see, this “GREAT AWAKENING” that is happening here and around the world – should have been Christian, but it isn’t – it is purely THE RED PILL PARTY*.
(*I think I am the first one to identify this new political party.)
The ‘JESUS folks’ in the masses will not get on their knees, ask forgiveness, and put their trust in Him. Very sad. We came so close.
The End Times Can was not kicked out of the field, only kicked down the road by a week of years at the most, if that. I continue to pray for a true GREAT SPIRITUAL AWAKENING based on our BELIEF in THE GOSPEL REGARDING JESUS CHRIST and living His Commandments. If that were to happen, everything would change overnight.
– The man-made denominations would throw out their man-made laws and rules that have divided, and sub-divided The Body of Christ – which is supposed to be ONE CHURCH – ONE BODY.
– The garbage mankind is consumed with on the SCREENS of many sizes and purposes would disappear for the lack of any following.
– We would stop the 5G disaster before it happens.
– Men and Women would be thankful for how God made them in His image and vision, instead of rebelling against THE GIFT OF LIFE from our CREATOR.
– The book of Matthew would become the first step in re-acquainting us with Jesus’ vision for our lives. I can witness to all – of first-hand knowledge of the difference in a culture of life vs. a culture of death.
– Christians would remember that ‘the way is narrow,’ and ‘no one goes to The Father except through the Son, Jesus Christ.’
There is so much more, but it is pointless to go there until a foundation of love and understanding of God’s Word bursts forth – alive – in a GREAT SPIRITUAL AWAKENING. I pray for God’s will to be done every day.

Because of much scientific discovery in the last century, we know several axioms to be true. When I bring these up in conversation, people look at me like I am Bat Crap Crazy. Not me; oh noooo. Sadly, information that should be common knowledge, may not be for all groups, and possibly not most groups. There are, however, some scientists on the other side of the world who just might be Bat Crap Crazy.
They are looking for the original information that made creation . . . the “glue” of creation. They are trying to re-create God’s “Big Bang.”
Our Lord spoke a word, and His Creation came into being. I, with my comparatively miniscule information storage in my brain, just picked up my telephone and spoke, “define axiom,” and the information was forthcoming. (It is so easy to check your words, so they match what you are trying to say.) We talk to our telephones, televisions, microwaves, and cars expecting them to perform verbal commands. Why would we doubt for a second that God, with His obviously HUGE knowledge, would speak words and have actions occur.
Some of the scientific axioms that I believe are important to understand God’s Biblical Word:
– We know the universe is finite (not infinite).
– Whether you are talking about length, energy, mass, or time – they are made up of indivisible units that cannot be further divided beyond a known point. At that certain point in the dividing, the thing being divided loses all locality, and becomes subatomic. This is the amazing stuff of Quantum Physics.
– We are therefore inside the boundaries of the microcosm, and the macrocosm.
– OUR REALITY – OUR SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM – IS INSIDE A LARGER REALITY.
– Everything in our space-time continuum is digital.
– We live in 4 knowable dimensions, and at least 6 that are not directly knowable. The easiest way to get a mental idea of the other six dimensions is to know that without them there could be no calculations done for a probe to go to Mars.
NOTE: Because of two personal experiences, I have previously documented, I believe that when Adam was expelled from the garden of perfection, where he was made in God’s spirit image – Adam lost the ability to see the other six dimensions, and became a changed and naked man of the flesh that had a need for covering. When Jesus came to save us, he took on the appearance of man in the flesh.
– There is no such thing as truly random anything. Computers can simulate pseudo-random; but by scientific definition of random, it simply does not exist. (So much for the Theory of Evolution.)
– TODAY, many are afraid of the experiments done at the CERN Hadron Collider in Switzerland, along the French border. The scientists experimenting with matter, and its opposite dark matter, are doing work that most informed people would just as soon did not happen. The internet is full of stories and videos claiming that the CERN scientists will destroy mankind, and our world. There are stories that they have invited into our world demons from other dimensions.
The first step to handle fear is to seek to understand the truth of what is happening at CERN.
This link is to a site that explains what we need to know in layman’s terms:
The second step, for Christians, is to read the many Bible verses that deal with our Lord, who created the earth, and holds the earth in a constant balance – until He replaces it with a new heaven and new earth. The last verse below warns us that The Lord expects us to know Him through His Creation – at the very least. It seems to me that scientists are in the precarious position to absolutely know on a professional level God’s Creation, yet many deny God’s existence. These same scientists who have turned their back on God, are influencing our children negatively.
There are so many verses I could have shared, but I try to not overwhelm. It takes time to study each verse in context. The diligent, and faithful will undertake such Bible study. The phrase that appears the most in the Bible is ‘fear not.’ Remember this instruction as our nation seems to be in freefall.
Many times, in the Bible we are admonished to not be deceived. The only way I know how to do that is to be in The Word every day, and look for Jesus and redemption on every page. It is there. Most who have studied with heart and soul on Him, learn the truth of His Word; that it is given through the Holy Spirit, from outside of our space-time continuum. I believe that we are living in a time of knowledge that makes such insight more possible than ever before.
Colossians 1: 16 – 17 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that
are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before
all things, and by him all things consist.
Nehemiah 9: 6 Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of
heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all
that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
[He will not let Global Warming harm us.]
Psalm 96: 10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be
established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
Revelation 11: 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of
the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy
servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great;
and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that
dwell therein. [Jesus’ Ownership]
Psalm 93:1 The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with
strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot
be moved.
1 Chronicles 16: 30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it
be not moved.
Romans 1: 19-22 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for
God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal
power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew
God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise,
they became fools,
When the people at Babel were building a stairway to heaven to know what God knows, God confounded them with many languages, and scattered them. Have faith that God will confound any who try to be gods themselves. I am not afraid of what is happening at CERN because I know that His Word tells me He will not let that happen.

My husband jokes with me that if I were to create an epic movie, it would last about ten minutes after I had streamlined it, and edited it to death. Being able to see the big picture in business as well as the movies, I feel confident in saying that one important endeavor into “Making America Great Again” is that the ENTIRE “law of the land” must be whittled down into something the average American adult can understand. American citizens have proven their consciences are in good working order; as evidenced by 95% of America’s population do not break laws (1) – making them the all-important “self-governing citizens” ideal our founders believed could exist.
What we see on contemporary television, and movies, that often gives Americans a bad rap, is not a true picture of the real America. Sadly, there is a minority of the American population – a bag of tricks – of the rich, the famous, the thespians (and those of lesser abilities), the singers, the notorious no talents, the ghetto pimps (claiming to be preachers), the uber-athletic, and the political, who appear to live by some upside-down beliefs / rules / laws that they promote to the world. In that Bizarro-World they live in, right is often wrong, and wrong is often right. These people are the role models our children, and grandchildren are exposed to. This American false veneer of society reminds me of Bizarro-World from our childhood comic books. The enemy within has been very engaged in portraying these people as normal, while plying their socialist influence, as they are ever-chipping away at our Republic through much bad, destructive or useless laws.
The world seems to have begun the fight of all time. Broken down to the most common denominators of culture and education, this fight is absolutely a war of two religions / faiths / economies . . . of good and evil. Many titles can be given, but the division between the Real-America and the Veneer-America is the difference between a culture of life, and a culture of death. We each make a choice with our eyes wide open.
Because case law has taken on a form of judges each “discovering the right result” (2) in an atmosphere of “democracy,” equal justice under the law has become impossible. An identical court case in two different jurisdictions could have different results, and either conclusion might not be constitutionally correct. This is an excellent reason for a complete revamping of our laws in a format that all High School Graduates not only understand, but leave school with their own copy of the law.
We do not need for Congress to pass hundreds of laws every year. The more ways that you describe right and wrong – thieving and murdering – the more opportunity for lawyers to let bad people run the streets, and good people go to prison. The laws we have should be easy to understand; should each be written involving only one subject; and should be written with the support of “We the People.” At the time of voting for Obamacare, 59% of “We the People” were against it. They were clearly not doing “The Peoples” business when they made it law. The balances of justice have been off kilter for a long time. TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, the Scales of Justice must be re-balanced.
I have a direct life-line to my Creator. Because of this, I can see that LAWS ARE WRITTEN TO CONDEMN. The more laws, the more condemnation for the sake of condemnation. There are so many laws, that any government could pick you up, charge you with something ridiculous, and you would be forced to go through a flawed system which may or may not get the verdict right. Look no further than the law-suit over hot coffee to see that I am right. Our court systems have become a crap shoot. (Outcome based on the unpredictable roll of dice.)
IF I WERE CHARGED WITH MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN I WOULD RETURN THE USA TO OUR (JUDEO / CHRISTIAN BASED) CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.
I might have each state send a team of 30 citizens, capable of LAW SCRAPPING, that would have in its mix any of the following career classifications:
– Accountants with a minimum of 20 years-experience as an accountant;
– Business managers with a minimum of 20 years-experience as a corporate business manager;
– Small business owners with a minimum of 20 years-experience as a small business owner (1M or
less/yr.);
– Medium business owners with a min. of 20 years-experience as a med. Business owner (2M – 20M/yr.);
– Housewives with 3 or more children (children and step children) with a minimum of 5 years-experience;
– Chemical plant operators with a minimum of 15 years-experience as a Chemical Plant Operator;
– High school coaches with a minimum of 20 years-experience as a high school coach;
– History teachers with a minimum of 20 years-experience teaching American History;
– Professional umpires with a minimum of 20 years-experience as a Professional Umpire;
– Retail store managers with a minimum of 20 years-experience managing retail stores;
– Farmers with a minimum of 20 years-experience farming;
– and Police Officers with a minimum of 20 years-experience as a Police Officer.
All would meet in one location to investigate all federal laws for a few criteria with the expressed goal of scrapping every one possible, effective January 1, 2019. I guess you noticed absolutely no lawyers, no movie stars, or professional politicians allowed in our group of law scrappers. Period. Criteria:
1.) If history has changed the law’s meaning, or it is obsolete – it is time to give the law a scrapping funeral.
I.e. We no longer need a law for a servant to precede the carriage by 20 paces while carrying a lantern.
2.) If the law is un-Constitutional, and therefore cannot be a law, it must be scrapped.
I.e. There is a ruling for law, and the basis for the law is found nowhere in the Constitution.
3. There is no separation of church and state in the Constitution. To read the proof of this, please read my commentary on Mr. Jefferson’s Letters which can be found here: http://www.webcommentary.com/php/ShowArticle.php?id=hwaltersj&date=120810
4.) The law is redundant, and should never have been written, it must be scrapped.
5.) The law has impact on more than two topics; it is useless to the common man and it must be scrapped.
6.) If the law is one that the states are supposed to have control over; it must be scrapped.
7. All laws are written for all citizens in equality with no distinctions (I.e. Race, Sex), (for example: statutory rape is rape no matter which sex the victim is).
8. If fifty people on the committee cannot understand what the law is, it must be scrapped.
9.) If the law is Constitutional, and does not fit into the 1 – 8 descriptions above, then tell us why it should still be a law. These are the ones we should be keeping.
The special team could be called ‘America’s Law Scrapping Team’, and would be classifying the laws that are left into the 51 U.S. Title Codes – or less categories. What is left cannot be a book larger than what one high school senior can learn in a one year class entitled “Federal Laws, What Every Citizen Must Know.” We need for every child in our country to learn the laws that he/she are expected to live by.
How can we live in a Republic, and keep the peace, if the citizens do not know the Laws? By the same token, there must be a chapter in the book on the Bill of Rights, so our young adults understand them. There should be a further explanation in the difference between rights and privileges. For example, your driver’s license is a privilege.
If the laws cannot fit into a 600-page book, they will be further reduced / streamlined by those who will be on the Law Streamlining Team. Each Law Scrapping Teams will select ten members to be on a secondary team for streamlining. This team will look at laws that are good, but need to be combined with all other laws on the same subject matter for streamlining, and providing a law that is the same without a ton of duplication and useless posturing.
PART TWO COMING IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

This is it; the one that caused writer’s block. The subject matter has done much to divide America, and all the way down to the family and close, warm, personal, friend level in society. A question: Why should I turn my back on my centuries old Christian beliefs of marriage, to pretend to embrace someone else’s beliefs – JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT ME TO THINK SOMETHING I AM NOT HARD WIRED TO THINK? It is a ridiculous proposition. I am praying the emotional blackmail of deceitful Political Correctness has run its course, and failed in America. We may be surprised at how fast certain aspects of the Politically Correct model of America may change over-night, if American Christians turn away from Secular Christianity fraught with agnostic, and even pagan beliefs.
It still confounds me as to how such a small segment of our population was hijacked by the enemy within, using the truly evil practices of Political Correctness to insert counter-culture ideals into the very core of our American Culture. The “latest estimate shows that 3.8% of our population actually identify as LGBT,” as per Gallup. (1) We can scarcely turn on the big or little screens without having the gay lifestyle crammed down our throats. The fabric of our Christian nation is weak to have allowed this content to be in the realm of 100% saturation of our children through school, through television, and through music.
SKREEEEECCCHHHHHHH! STOP! NEWS FLASH! THE LIONS SHARE OF BLAME FOR OUR POLITICALLY CORRECT BROKEN AMERICA IS NOT THE 3.8% OF OUR POPULATION — IT IS A LARGE PORTION OF THE 75% OF AMERICANS WHO SAY THEY ARE CHRISTIANS – but, do not follow the Commandments Jesus gave us; nor do they follow the Ten Commandments handed down to Moses from God. No Christian precept may have been violated more than the scriptures telling us about Marriage. How many married Christians are following what the Word of God says about marriage? What Baby Boomers passed down to our children, and grandchildren is a lack of respect for our heterosexual Christian marriage. If the institution of marriage had not been sorely abused, we would be a wholesome America not needing to “Make America Great Again.”
How many marriages failed because The Lord was not present in the marriage? I can tell you that The Lord was not present in my failed marriages. Then I got on my knees and asked the Lord to forgive me for having a victim mentality when it came to relationships with men. I did not know my scriptures well, and therefore, I had no reference of what life was all about. Because I did not know my Bible, I was totally without any real help. We exist for God’s glory, and if we are here for God’s glory, then we should know what pleases God. One day I prayed to understand the scriptures, and it was as if a light had been turned on in my soul, and in my mind. Not only do I understand the scriptures, but I also understand who is in the scriptures and why my understanding is so important to a happy life.
Not long after that, I prayed on my knees, and asked The Lord to pick me a husband who loved The Lord, would be faithful to me, and who would love me in all the ways I love. My marriage with John for two decades has been a miracle to me every day. The love and respect in the beginning has grown over the years. Hardships came and went without much fuss, because we had something bigger in our lives than teen aged children testing us at every turn, careers, wealth, or health issues. I look back and see much love and laughter every day of our marriage ordained by God. We pray to be an example to our loved ones, and to others . . . even to be a catalyst for others to improve their marriages. John and I see other good marriages, and we are further strengthened in the purpose of the gifts God has given each of us to be a help to you when we are able.
For Americans to “Make America Great Again,” America’s Christian population must renew their relationship with Christ, and renew their commitment to great marriages. Great marriages make great families. Great families make an involved citizenry that looks to local schools, churches, and community institutions with The Lord’s Christian Absolutes in mind. WE DO NOT CHECK OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH AT ANY DOOR, FOR ANYONE. If we are Christian, who we are is Christian to the bone.
Sadly, only a small percentage of today’s American Christian population has read The Bible. Because they do not know what their Bible says, they have nothing of encouraging value when it is most needed.
“Today, about one-third of American adults report reading the Bible once a week or more. The percentage is highest among Elders (49%) and lowest among Millennials (24%).” (2) The Word of God, contains the Moral Absolutes Christians need to live a wholesome life. ‘All come short of His Glory’ (3); and when we have fallen short of His Glory, we are to repent, seek forgiveness, and move on in life without the need to keep going back to learn the same lesson over, and over again. We are to grow spiritually, for which there is much help in studying The Bible.
Satan, and his minions, exist to trip you up by giving you the Big Lie of Moral Relativism. It means that my faith is the faith of life, and someone else’s is the faith of death. Moral Relativism says that they are equal and both true. It also means that the death crowd believes their views should be taught to my children, and it is only fair for my children to be exposed to their minority faith. I do not believe in Moral Relativism, and cannot abide by such negative and lethal forces to be allowed anywhere near my children, and grandchildren.
The truth is that our marriages are a reminder of the relationship Christ has with His Church here on Earth. When we dishonor the millennium old tradition of Christian marriage, we are also dishonoring our relationship with Christ – we are The Church – Christ’s Church. Our marriages should be an example to all the goodness of Holy union with our spouse, and with our Lord as members of His Church. There are many scriptures about marriage, but this is the most excellent in my view:
“EPHESIANS 5:
“20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto The Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church: and He is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as The Church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by The Word,
27 That He might present it to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as The Lord The Church:
30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and The Church.
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.”
Not that John and I have the perfect marriage, for there is no such thing under the sun; however, we stand on 20+ years of the closest thing to it that either of us have ever seen. We have seen other good marriages, but ours is almost supernaturally excellent. The Lord matched us up – two givers. The love and mutual respect is a part of the success. I think that we like our male and female roles, and we enjoy being male and female as God made us down to the DNA in our cells. We have also been blessed beyond measure, and our prayers have all been answered. We do not forget to ask Him to help us attain needed medical help, as well as help for others. Some say we are lucky. I don’t believe in luck; I believe in recognizing the blessings in our lives without ceasing.
Solomon was the second son of David and Bathsheba. His mother worried that his father had taught him to be a womanizer. Bathsheba’s pet name for her son is Lemuel and we see in Proverb 31 the advice she imparts to him regarding a wife – a wife worthy of a King!!
PROVERB 31
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.”
We have witnessed in America the deliberate masculation of women by certain factions of our population, and the counter emasculation of men in that process. For every movement under the sun, there is a counter movement that occurs. Women hit their forties and wondered at their biological clocks tick, tick, ticking away, and the absence of available marriageable men. Many of these women became bitter and angry, without recognizing if they had played a part in the sad outcome . . . without asking for forgiveness for the error of their ways, and their biological clock alarms stopped ringing. Many men who turned from women, have not found the peace they were seeking. The saddest part in all of this is the effect it has had on the next two generations.
The studies of children in America is a hotbed of information. It matters not who did the study, or how scientific, there is always a group of naysayers. “Dr. Mark Regnerus is a University of Texas Sociologist who rocketed to fame – or infamy, depending on one’s views of homosexual parenting – in 2012 with the publication of his study about how well children are doing.” (4) Other studies from the LGBT crowd have proven to be “fixed” by the subjects in the study. Dr. Regnerus’ study skyrocketed because of his actual random sampling of a large study group. BUT, we can look to studies of children from broken homes, alcoholic homes, abusive home, welfare homes, and homes of any extreme element, to find that children from these homes are in an emotional pickle, just as the children in the Dr. Regnerus study.
Children need boundaries for themselves and their friends (so important), for their siblings, and for their parents – the rules of acceptable behavior – or Moral Absolutes. To find success in our lives, we need only look to our Lord and Savior, and what He tells us in the scriptures. My favorite place for Jesus advice is the book of Matthew, but they are found in all the Gospels, as well as the letters Jesus wrote to the churches in Revelation, and on every page of the Bible. The most important and widely read book since Jesus death and resurrection, is sadly not being read by all Christians. It is the only book that will help heal our Republic; and it is pivotal in American’s “Making America Great Again.” Without a return to Biblical Christianity, any attempts of restoring the Republic would be weak at best. This is where the healing must begin.
