Clark H. Pinnock, “Most Moved Mover”, 2001, 2019, p.6.
"God is for us and God is with us. He is not a metaphysical abstraction, but the one who makes his presence felt – actively, responsively, relationally, dynamically, and reciprocally. God is transcendent, but does not exist in isolation from the world. He is unchangeable in character, but is not unchanging in his relations with us."
This sounds like a fun loving God to me?

Not only is Joe Biden a bumbling fool but in addition he is a murdering jokester. His open border policy has led to the death of over 300,000 fentanyl overdose American deaths. Their killing is not funny but after losing the presidential election, Joey is now telling President Trump how to run America, his way. His arrogance is laughably funny. If need be, the military should be placed on the American side of the Rio Grande and given orders to shot anything that moves on sight. Case closed, border closed.

What am I thankful for this Thanksgiving? At just the right moment, I can stop buying theology (God) books. You see, after maxing out my mortgage for home improvements, cigars and then God books, a budget has become necessary. It was fun while it lasted. God has always been a central issue in my life through no choice of my own. I was born into this concern and try as I might, the God concern has been at times avoided but never escaped.
Fifty years
ago, was the last time I tried to make peace with my inheritance. Being a newbie
to all things spiritual, I tried to fit together my own limited spiritual experience
with the experience of others in the present and throughout history. The
historical others list is very long and I was swamped. In the midst of my
bewilderment, I discovered the Bible for the first time but much to my
surprise, there wasn’t much God peace in the Bible.
The Bible is
the story of many earthbound search's for spiritual authenticity. At the time, I mistakenly
assumed that these were the only authentic stories, all in the past. Then I bought a house at
1990 Gibralter Rd., Landers, California.
I thank God for my home and the God peace given to me, the most
undeserved of humans.
All right, for once and only once this blog was wrong. Matt Gaetz will not be installed as Attorney General of the Justice Department as of yesterday, Wednesday the 21st. Apparently, he changed his mind about seeking the job. No mind, President Trump had another reformer type appointee in waiting, former Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondi. Not only is she a long time Trump loyalist, she has AG credentials. Again, President Trump is thinking ahead of the game.

Deportation of the illegals invading America over the last four years begins in the red states. Begin rounding them up with the cooperation of red state citizenry, political leaders, the national guard and law enforcement. The illegals will get the message, you are not welcome in my state. They will flee to the blue states or go home voluntarily.
Without
federal goodies, the blue state Democrats will have to pay the bill resulting
from their own criminal enterprise. Legislation
should be passed in the Republican Congress to require an American birth certificate
for enrolling in all federal programs on or after 2020. When the blue states have to pay up for all
the support of illegals, the legal citizenry of these states will turn red, that
is Republican.
Sanctuary
cities will then be a loose, loose. The game that the Democratic radical left has dumped upon us is hardball. This is the time for a little Republican activism.

As a God believer of any sort, we must believe that God, however described, has a plan or a purpose for all we humans, living and dead. Every exclusive, selfish understanding of God is kooky. It makes no lived-out sense. There are no disposable humans. Death is for all therefore God is for all.
This evil deadly world demands the inclusion of all we humans in any other hoped-for reality. The only alternative to this believing is to define our world without God. To believe rightly in God is to tear down all the fences.

No one knows how history will record the Democrat Drama of the last four years unless the principal characters involved suddenly become honest. This is not a good bet unless one of the parties involved decides to write a best seller. The obvious fact is that the radical left communist heads have been the policy deciders controlling all democrats for the last four years. The policy deciders have not been President Biden, Vice President Harris or the Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken. These folk and all democrats have been and are only puppets on a string who could not justify, before the people at election time 2024, any of their policies.
How did
winning a presidential election in 2020 by a few thousand questionable votes in
a few swing states give the new Biden administration permission to unleash blanket
radical change of any sort upon the American people? The answer can only be insane arrogance. The radical left assumption was that with all
the power of government trained upon all political questioners, all future
elections, as in 2024, are in the bag. Why should we worry, change is now? The slim
win was, in the understanding of the power brokers, more than an election, it
was a legal coup, an overthrow or undoing. Going forward the American electorate
will continue to be stuffed with easily deceived useful idiots who couldn’t
identify their own self-interest if their life depended upon it. And it will.
Then came Donald Trump and the people woke up. The mandate is, we want America as it has always been, the land of the free!
Maybe Barack will finally retire to his estate?

Matt Gaetz will be the next Attorney General of the Department of Justice. The Biden, Harris, Obama administration has forever canceled any claims to institutional political impartiality for this department of government. Sadly, American justice is no longer blind to political influence. The big government Rhino Republicans, who answer to their monied interests instead of the people, may not give “advise and consent” for the Gaetz appointment but he will be installed as AG, even if President Trump and Elon Musk have to pay for his salary.
Fresh air in
the Department of Justice will bring the only change that will return the
Department to a level of respectability that we the people can once again trust.
The Rhinos may expose themselves as the enemy within but they are doomed to
failure now and at the next election. The people have spoken.

President elect Donald Trump, please do not walk into the lion’s den prior to the inauguration, do not trust the fat cats. A constitutional transition may not be in the works, after all, the radical left wants to trash the Constitution. The risk may be small but we the people are doomed without your leadership. At best, you will only get lies in Washington. Please, only send to Washington at this time your transition people. Only a few people know the level of desperation in that town.

Deportation of illegals is very simple. Take away all the free money, benefits and jobs given to them by the Democrats and they will either self deport or commit crimes which will result in their deportation. In addition, instead of returning the deportees to their home country immediately, set up in Mexico, a legal process for vetting these people. Those with verifiable skills that would fill a skill deficit in America, would be given legal status to work in America. Finally, pass legislation, if not already on the books and enforceable, making employers financially culpable for hiring illegals.
This is
simple but only President Donald Trump would have the courage and moxie to make
it happen. Some of us would like to hear
soon, why not?

Something is afoot. The head of the evil communist snake is Barack Obama and the snake has been exposed and cornered. Fearing obscurity, the snake has now coiled and may be ready to strike some other way. The choice is to strike with plan B or he may possibly wait 20 years for the politics to cool down, who knows? All the Biden actors in Washington are about to be summarily dismissed and who knows what additional dirt may be hiding in their closet.
The level of
desperation is largely unknown. If this were a Hollywood movie, the staging has
been set and some action or other is about to begin. Anything can happen in the
next few weeks. Shall we trust the words of President Biden that promise respect for our Constitution and
a smooth transition of power? No way, Biden has proven over the last four years that his words are phony therefore we must prepare for any and all eventualities. Beware all, this may get complicated.

In the words of Barack Obama, “elections have consequences”. Some weak knees want this political moment to be a kumbaya, all is forgiven, call for supposed unity. Professor Allan Dershowitz recommends President elect Trump give the criminal offenders of the past four years a pass in the name of unity and peace. Wrong-o-bobo, some of us believe that only the appropriate legal consequences will bring a lasting peace. We cannot play nice with the radical left. They will cut your throat while you sleep.

A great victory has been won by President Trump and today all we believers celebrate. Tomorrow is reality time because his and our enemies, within and without of America, while defeated, are still with us. In the next 70 days, these forces will go to plan B and President Trump needs all hands-on deck to protect his and our futures. The security of President Trump while in Florida is also your responsibility, Mr. Governor.
Mara Lago
needs a National Guard enforced outer perimeter of security. No one goes in or
out unless they are thoroughly checked out before the Secret Service takes
over and does their thing. Advise the
president elect to remain within the security of Mara Lago. Do not give any federal authority access to
Mara Lago, especially the corrupt Justice Department and the corrupt Federal Bureau
of Investigation.
Play hard
ball and tell them to file a law suit. What is good for the goose is good for
the gander. It is show down time.

Election day is finally upon us. The choice is monumental, this is the most important decision we the people will make in the modern history of America. That being said, how can we be so divided? How can the election appear to be so close when the truth is as plain as the nose on your face?
The only
reason the election appears to be close is because former President Trump is
running against all the corrupt interests that give priority to their own pocketbooks
instead of the best interest of the people and America. These are the cabals. Our cabals are the groups among us who unite
in a scheme to take or maintain control of the power of government. These are just a few.
1. Education
Cabal has become only a jobs program for adults nationwide.
2. Wall
Street Cabal blindly and neurotically chases the pot of gold.
3. Big
government Cabal wants more regulation and the resulting bloated agencies.
4. Union
Labor Cabal, teachers, local, county, state and federal workers cling to their
protected economic status.
5. Military
Industrial Complex Cabal is all about lighting the fires of war and death worldwide
to sell more arms and ammunition.
We have
become the new mafia, the gangland of 2024. The good news is that the election appears to
be close, we people at least have one last shot at returning to government for
and by the people.

Barbara W. Tuchman, A Distant Mirror, 1978, Random House Paperback, 2014.
This book is one historians picture of the 14th century. gg
"The gap between medieval Christianity’s ruling principle and everyday life is a great pitfall of the Middle Ages. It is the problem that runs through Gibbon’s history, which he dealt with by a delicately malicious levity, pricking at every turn what seemed to him the hypocrisy of the Christian ideal as opposed to natural human functioning. I do not think, however great my appreciation of the master otherwise, that Gibbon’s method meets the problem. Man himself was the formulator of the impossible Christian ideal and tried to uphold it, if not live by it, for more than a millennium. Therefore it must represent a need, something more fundamental than Gibbon’s 18th century enlightenment allowed for, or his elegant ironies could dispose of. While I recognize its presence, it requires a more religious bent than mine to identify with it." (Forward, xxv and xxvi)
Is the need religious or spiritual? Could the need be spiritual and religion the resulting natural ever failing substitute or distraction? When and if religion and spirituality intersect, the result is, indeed, special but this specialness is rare and seems to be always so short lived. The specialness of Martin Luther lost it's specialness with in a decade or less. For all of human history, there seems to have been a series of religious God thinking fades. This is just my opinion, which isn't worth much. gg
