God was important to Founding Fathers, Presidents of USA

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim tribute to patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness—these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. . . . reason and experience both forbid us […]

Dear Mr Obama

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Dear President-elect Barack Hussein Obama,
Congratulations to you, sir, on your election as America’s 44th President.
As you prepare your transition and make the key staffing and policy decisions that will shape your administration, I urge you to heed the example of our nation’s first President, George Washington.

WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT???

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Do you keep hearing those of faith talking about “end times” and “last days?”  Me too.  But I understand what they mean. 
No, the world isn’t going to end, not according to God.  It is going to go through some tougher times though, maybe even with nuclear war wiping out a large percentage […]

Responsibility vs Victimization

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

The general public has fallen lock-step into the victim role while the government is enabled to take over our responsibilities for handling our monies.

The recent decisions by our Legislature in the USA have guaranteed our loss of yet more: that of our personal responsibility to manage our own money, and the freedom to […]

Public schools with Religious intent!

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

What would you think of a PUBLIC school whose motto states it is “for Christ and the Church?”    How about a PUBLIC school that said it’s purpose was so that “youth may be instructed in the arts and sciences …through the blessing of God..”  or “to plant and under Divine blessing …propagate the Protestant […]

You think you know what “tolerance” is? Bet you’re wrong!

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Your definition of tolerance, if you are a product of the public school system in the USA since the 1970s, doesn’t match with the original,  and general understanding of tolerance.  What the schools have taught you is that not only do you have to follow the basic definition of tolerance (which I’ll give in a […]

Hope vs Optimism

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Hope and optimism: are they the same?  I recently was asked this and my initial, brief, response was that optimism is something anyone can have,  regardless of belief, whereas hope holds a spiritual atmosphere.  The conversation isn’t over, but now that I have had time to ponder the initial question of whether hope and optimism […]

Say NO to “O”

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

I’m really saddened by Oprah Winfrey’s decision to follow the New Age movement.  
She follows the path of two other women who as young ladies, vowed -as she had- to follow Christ: Shirley McClain, and  J Z Knight.  Oprah’s most recent avenue of promoting this “new age” cult is her online book studies “A […]

Answer to request

Friday, September 19th, 2008

I met a homeless woman recently.  I blogged about it.  She made me ponder, once again, the plight of the homeless in the area.  South Florida is abundant with homeless men, women, families.   This last week, after hearing  a religious program about the slave trade in the States, and then watching a few programs about […]
