"...scripture is also replete with examples of the Lord’s patience with unrighteous people having ebbed – His bringing the Flood upon the earth, and His causing His chosen people, the Israelites, to wander in the wilderness for forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in His sight were consumed, being two of the most obvious."

Woah there, Joanie, I really don't think we're nearing the Apocolypse!! There are ample opportunities fer optimism, my FRiend!!

"The Israelites were made to wander not because that journey required forty years to physically complete, but as a punishment for those who refused to enter the Promised Land when they first had the chance to do so. They were caused to wander aimlessly until all of the disobedient, dishonest and cowardly ones of adult age had died off."

Thank the internet, mi hermana, it is increasingly difficult to plead IGNORANCE as to the present goings'on. The Lord woreks thru each of US and there is no reason to call fer Pestilence or Plague, we can educate the Masses!! We have the Power to expose our brethren to the Truth!! However, to be successful, we need to believe in the worthiness of Our Cause, and cvan NEVER doubt its ultimate success!!

"Just recently, during the funeral services for Ronald Reagan held at the National Cathedral, Justice O’Connor read an excerpt from John Winthrop’s City Upon a Hill (I have also used Winthrop’s City Upon a Hill sermon/essay as a reference in a few Sunday school classes that I have taught). Although penned almost four hundred years ago, I believe Winthrop’s observations and warnings should be taken seriously."

"Now the only way to avoid this shipwreck and to provide for our posterity is to follow the counsel of Micah -- to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with our God. For this end, we must be knit together in this work as one man. We must entertain each other in brotherly affection. We must be willing to abridge ourselves of our superfluities, for the supply of others’ necessities. We must uphold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality. We must delight in each other, make others’ conditions our own -- rejoice together, mourn together, labor, and suffer together -- always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, our community as members of the same body."

Sounds like a dandy plan, joanie (and Justic O'Connor)...

"So shall we keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. The Lord will be our God and delight to dwell among us, as His own people, and will command a blessing upon us in all our ways, so that we shall see much more of His wisdom power goodness and truth than formerly we have been acquainted with."

Once again, I am with you, even if I somehow mistakenly believe that Allah=God!! (FBD...that's fer you.)

"We shall find that the God of Israel is among us, when ten of us shall be able to resist a thousand of our enemies … when He shall make us a praise and glory, that men shall say of succeeding plantations: Lord, make it like that of New England. For we must consider that we shall be as a City upon a Hill.

God Bless Ronald Reagan...God Bless the United States of America!!

"'Lurch' Was His Name!!"

Before Congress, Hanoi John slandered his FRiends...
Called them "Rapists" and "Killers"...has he no shame?!

There's just two ways to fight Lib'ral SCUM...
Remember...Left is all Red!!
One's the FRee Way...Reject Socialism!!
Right is fightin' 'til Big Guv'ment's DEAD!!
'Cuz Tyranny takes hold when Patriots ain't bold!!
Guv'ment's BAD when it warps yer head!!

Kerry is a Lib'ral and Big Guv'ment's his aim...
Just y'all wait 'til he "feels yer pain!!"
Massachusetts, Camelot's DreamWorld is stained...
Jack wails, "Kerry, why must you defame my name?!"

We're the RightWing, we FReep 'gainst Tyranny!!
'Gainst the Lib'rals, who loathe what's FRee!!
Have our plans fer Worlds where FReedom rings...

Soros' Commies are Leftist SCUM!!
Retake the Cities from the kA.N.S.W.E.R.ous Powers!!
Reborn humans shall never cower!!

You see...
I seen me a Lib'ral and "Lurch" is his name...
He's no good...don't you vote fer his stain!!
Before Congress, Hanoi John slandered his FRiends...

Afternoon everyone. I was looking for a suitable poem for today Sunday, and I've got this one.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

"No God didn't make His angels robots"
With their own free will they rebelled!
Still God had already set boundaries-,
And rewards, for those who fell.

So Satan was outraged-, when God created man.
And knew 'if he' could get them to disobey….
He'd have them in his hand.
Needless-to-say, Satan's greatest and most famous
Word 'If' came into being.
'Twas not in the vocabulary of God's…,
Cause love was victory’s theme.

So his lies spread deception, pride was his key.
It fit right-along-side of HATE and jealousy.
Destruction was his aim,
With all the souls he'd claim,
Distorting God's LOVE-and-NAME.

His pleasure trap of lies-,
For our self-centered ways…
Would be the chains that bind with fear,
Throughout all our days;
Refuting God's word that pays.
---MyQuill4u

If integrity is Life's key, and Love is home-base, let's Love a little more and be honest in Life's race. ---MyQuill4u

You think you are late!!! Today you get more points than I do. :)

I came by a little earlier then got sidetracked. (By Louie/Max .... he wanted some TLC)

After hearing about the marine being taken hostage, I was so PO'ed that I went to the thread and posted a rant!! I don't usually do that.

After ranting, I started cleaning the garage. I needed an outlet and there are no terrorists here.
