Praising

Karen Akins Goslaw celebrated every Easter Sunday with the greeting that was her joyful praise, “He is Risen”!  On this Easter Sunday of 2024 we join that eternal chorus with her for indeed, he is risen.  I must confess to only catching a glimpse of what was in her heart.  Karen lived with the belief that, based on her certainty of the empty grave, that we can live toward others with a sense of irrational optimism.

Karen was a people person, believing the best of everyone and leaving the rest for further study as in the application of God’s grace. One has to be a little crazy to live with that trusting spirit toward people since our world, over the last 28 years, has gotten even darker. Regardless, Karen showed us all that it can and should only be routine because Jesus rose from the grave!

Pillow talk

Some years ago, the Manson Family viciously murdered five white people in Los Angeles. The motive as told to us by Charles Manson was to start a race war, specifically targeting the Black Panthers.  Fifty-five years later, there is another such conspiracy underfoot. The Democrats, lead by President Biden and engineered by former president Barak Obama, are pushing all the race buttons they can find to start a race war in America.  The rhetoric is insulting, demonizing all white people and the MAGA movement, which is, in their minds, white. It is pure and simple race baiting.

This overt alienation of a sector of the voting public is unprecedented in American politics and can have only one motive. The Democrats will do anything to prevent a President Trump's victory in November, including exciting a race war.  Such violence would justify declaring Martial law and subjugating America.  Biden’s defense department and justice department and FBI  will co-operate, We shall become a police state.  The Supreme Court would be ignored.  All that is needed is right violent excuse enabling O'bama to suspend or kill our America. The covid suspension of our freedoms was just the trial run.

Can't happen?  What about the oath taken to support the Constitution?  Wake up America, sleepy time is over.  Our leftist, government first politicians despise the Constitution, they despise America and they despise a free people. Can't happen? 

Just one little spark is all the excuse Barack and friends need.

Crowing

So now Mexican President Obrador is telling America that his country will not take back deported illegal aliens under any circumstances.  Really?  You, Mr. President, have co-operated with Bidens open border policy, enriching the cartels and if the truth be told, your pockets have been lined with millions of our dollars. Do you really want to play hardball?  Crow while you can but a rooster, you are not.

Once before Mexico got huffy with President Trump.  In six months, our rooster, soon to be reelected as our president, Donald J. Trump, will be doing all the crowing.  Mexico will accept all deportations or President Trumps America will enforce a 100% tariff on all Mexican imports. You, Mr. Mexican President Obrador will then join the ladies in the henhouse.

Words Matter

As human beings we all have the opportunity to pick our life yardsticks, to choose how we want to live our lives. Well, maybe not.  In most of the world, the picking is not the choice of the individual.  In most of the world, the wishes or demands of the government is the only real choice.  Yours and my wishes are irrelevant and laughable, you and I must plug into the system to survive.  Freedom is dead.   

America has historically been the rare exception, the America of our fathers has the yardstick of God, Family and Country.  The order of this yardstick is all important, God first, family second and country third. Most of the world turns this yardstick around to be country first, family second and God third. This means that the government is Godlike in our lives and can best make decisions for the individual.  This politics is the politics of personal destruction for we become like cattle to be herded.

The sad truth is that the Biden administration and the radical left of the Democratic party are at war with our national exceptionalism.  They are governing with the yardstick of country first and the people, primarily the American people are last.  How does it feel America?  Is the change not crystal clear?   When you voted for Grand paw Joe, did you vote for all his stuff?  Stuff like the chaos of our supermarket inflation, the chaos of an open border immigration policy and our failed international standing.

Entering this election season, it would seem that the Biden voters would only be those who are unaffected by this chaos in their personal lives.  Maybe they are rich, they must have job security and for the moment, they must feel our national space is irrelevant.  You know, those rich and powerful folk in charge of the herd.  Yet these folk, who are not the majority in America seem to be in a virtual tie with the Republican challenger, former president Trump.  Why? 

The only conclusion that can be drawn from this divide in America is that some of us are not thinking and being easily herded.  The political advisors to President Biden must be saying, keep punching those cows, it seems to be working.  Are the American people so easily manipulated and if so, how?  The answer to that question is the age old “bait and switch”.  Throw a couple of familiar positive terms out there in the conversation and then switch gears, silently redefining the meaning. 

The standard “bait and switch” has always been the word democracy.  Every communist or socialist country in our world uses the word democratic to identify itself but the word has a queer meaning to the political left.  Their definition of democratic is government first. The definition makes no sense but the new meaning has won the day worldwide over the last 200 years.

The Joe Biden “bait and switch” is the familiar positive word soul. Our president says that the election in November is a supposed battle for the soul of America, then comes the switch.  The leftist definition has nothing to do with our traditional understanding of life in America. The Biden definition has nothing to do with God or our destiny beyond the grave.  The battle Biden means is the competition between two, on the ground, political realities. A true democratic system that works for the people and his recently preferred government first system that works for the politically connected, the rich and the powerful.

Mr. President, define your words.

Charles Barkley

Thank you, Charles Barkley for your racist words of wisdom this election year.  Your black brothers who do not bow down to the Democratic spinmeisters and want a Trump America, are idiots, really?  The other team is only idiotic if your team is smart.  Are you smart Charles Barkley?

Who gave the world the man made covid virus that made 700 million people sick and killed 7 million people (Worldometer)?  Even now, some people of some families and someone’s brother or sister die from covid virus complications, the crisis is over but the dying is not. Democrats, China and the illegal purse strings of Dr. (Mengele) Fauci, with their “wet market” blame game did the deed. Yes? No?

Four years later, who are the idiots, Charles Barkley?

Beware!

Beware of the Republican establishment website, (httpswinred.cva). They are scamming thieves. I made a one-time contribution of $50 thinking it would go to support President Trump. Instead, this bankrupt fundraising website has been digging my bank for a recurring $50 contribution every two weeks. How can a political fundraiser treat its donors so badly and then expect them to vote Republican? 

Maybe, that is the point.  The Republican establishment wants Biden in the Whitehouse rather than Trump. Corrupt Washington elites, who funded Nikki Haley, want business as usual which means no Trump or America First.  Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel is finally quitting leaving the party broke only because they hate the leader of the people.  A Trump choice for the new chairmanship is imperative.  Former House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and McDaniel have quite and Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell is out in November.  Yes, he has endorsed Trump but hopes for a Biden victory so that he can change his mind.

Who said politics is not a blood sport?

Story

Finally, finally and finally, I found a book that speaks of Jesus as if we were there, ground up, listening and observing the going’s on in Palestine 2000 years ago.  No doctrine centered thinking here.  The author tells us a story, in fact, the book is entitled, “A Life of Jesus” (1973), written by a believing and accomplished Japanese novelist, Shusaku Endo.    

Congregation, please don’t get into a tizzy just yet.  A novelist is a story teller but the story may be from real life.  A novelist wants the reader to participate in the story, on a human emotional level, not just to repeat a murid of supposed facts. The author accomplished his mission.

This book came in the mail and I jumped to the last chapter as the story of the resurrection is told to us.  Mr. Endo knows his Bible and is not afraid of liberal textual criticism, weaving a beautiful story.  The point of the chapter is that some of the disciples believed in the resurrection and were changed from being pliable cowards to courageous God servants for the risen Jesus.

Although the fact of the resurrection may not hold up in a court of law, the effects or power of the resurrection is proven in history as our world heard the news. The everyday, everywhere folk who experienced death at their doorstep every day of their lives began to question, maybe, there is a God who, somehow, can bring eternal life to us in the midst of our misery. The people must decide.

It is clear from his story that the author believed but to his credit Mr. Endo never says, because I believe, you should also believe. Mr. Endo gives his readers respect and the freedom to make their own decision. However it may be explained or remembered, the spirit of the divine acted at this time and place. 

Personally, I believe in the resurrection but that does not mean that I have to believe that God was on the cross, to me, that is an unnecessary leap of faith. Considering the world of 2000 years ago, where the lines between politics and religion were everywhere muddied, one can understand how many made that leap.

Where have I been for the last fifty years?  I missed, at least until now, “A Jesus Story”.
