Mr. Kasparov is a legend. He is one cool customer. He’s not bad at chess either. He says of DeepBlue: ‘200 million moves a second……but it is not smart.’ Ha!
But Garry understands a computer’s program (and the sciences) do not exist without the input of humans. Anyway, some very good stuff here.

Now there is one word I actually do not like to say. It does not roll off the tongue like ‘lotus,’ nor does it emit a pleasurable impression to my mind like ‘sandalwood,’ nope, the word ‘devil’ is disturbing to my rather sober mind.
The word is out of sorts not because it is fictitious, but because it has more fangs and claws than all the seaweed in China. But men are not smart enough to dream up something so drastically obvious, nor are they superstitious enough as to be so clever in their ignorance. So we avoid things adversarial.
That’s right, Ignorance, as the earth has become the Devil’s playground, and even a mild mannered infidel will admit: ‘what in the world is going on with humanity?’
Girl Scouts want to be Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts want to join the ‘Girl-for-a week’ club. Gender pronouns now offend a woman who wants to be called ‘it.’ A man can ‘marry’ his pet gerbil. A woman can have a ‘wife.’ A man can marry his ‘husband.’ ‘There is no God.’
Full disclosure here. Remember the part about the sober mind? True story. This does not mean there is the slightest offence toward ANY person who engages in things I find questionable, unbecoming, or just odd, but rest assured, this also does not mean I must agree or that I am narrow minded. Nor should I be punished because of vigilance.
But WHO or WHAT is responsible for the influence that causes so much friction and an assault on common sense? Can it be evolution? Be honest. HOW could it possibly be RIGHT for a young girl to be forced to be exposed to a male in her bathroom??? Is this not mental rape? Yes, honesty says so, and nature agrees. Surely, evo would have voted these people off the islands centuries ago for devouring young minds..
But the devil has laid many eggs over time, and far too many have turned into maggots whereby the sickly somehow find nourishing. Strong language? Ha! Not strong enough. So yeah, there is a devil, and he has successfully plied his craft to the point where he does not even have to cast doubt on his true profession: the weakness of the sacred scriptures, nope, that’s a done deal. Not that the scriptures lack, but because people are darn near brain dead.
His assault is full frontal on nature now! What guts that is, what idiotic boldness to attack what is plain. So he leeches onto the weak, the susceptible, the sponge like minds of pretended intellect, where ‘yes’ can be ‘no’ on any given day, and where every thing goes, in a world where there is no right or wrong. What a slick trick though eh: ‘hey, don’t blame me.’
I see the late night politicians, oops, I mean comedians and their forked tongues, I see the cackling hens of women’s shows and their demonic ‘views,’ I see the scumbag television heads and their wretched smiles breathing out 24/7 rants of how good people are wicked just by being ‘normal.’
So where did all this crap stem from? The ponds of fresh water? Yeah, didn’t think so. No, no, no devil.
(Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour)
Surely you have heard. Well, it’s been in the mix since forever, and little joe is the latest mouthpiece for the leftist mob posing as high powered intellects.
Transgender guys and gals are now greenlighted to engage in sports acting as equals. Hmmm. It’s been reported that the gold medalist in woman’s running (400m or something like it/ doesn’t even matter as to the details) can presently be outrun by over 300 male high schoolers. Yikes. Sound fair?
So with the stroke of a crooked pen, little joe and his pea sized brain have decided to wag the finger to all things decent and natural.
The female gold medalist has just been demoted to the nether world of sports obscurity. Tks joe for listening to the hiss of your comrades in depravity. Utterly.
Not even to mention the mental abuse forced upon young girls when a male appears in their bathrooms. Nice work joe, you commiela, and the goon squad of all things anti science. But that’s for another post.
Which reminds me. Don’t even mention the word SCIENCE in my presence joe, as my ears cannot tolerate such screeching. Then there is your push when you say ‘the world is safer when transgenders are given their rightful place in the public eye,’ or something like that. Really now? What is this RIGHTFUL place when it is inherently WRONG?
Back to the sports. I have an easy solution if this nonsense is headed to the Olympics. If a male pretending to be female enters a race, all the females should act as one and refuse to race. Let the circus clown win his medal alone. The media would go nuts at this display of biological common sense. Imagine if you will Usain Bolt deciding to run as a female in women’s races. Uh, would ANY female have a chance???? Would it be FAIR? Thank you
There is a reason it is called the ‘Boy Scouts,’ or ‘Girl Scouts.’ No joe, there are not a hundred genders. There are TWO. The anatomy of the genders is as distinct as night from day. The heart size, body mass, lung capacity, hand, leg, foot size, natural gait, take your pick.
In a week, Byden is proving what others have long known: he is a puppet held by the strings in a very dark room. Religion or spirituality aside even, what sane mind could argue with me. Go ahead and try.

Inspiration visits us all the time, far too often though we are occupied and miss the whisper. Naturally I see the above pic several times a day as it is my phone screensaver, so I commend to you ‘Boundaries,’ themed likewise, and written by Bytes, some good stuff there. I linked, go read it.
But seas-edge, is the perfect visual for what a boundary is and does. The. Water. Just Stops. Ye shall go no further!
‘Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?’ So saith the Maker of water.
Do we really have an idea how much water there is in our world, aka earth? Do we know that the Creator has made it so?
As high as the highest mountain, as deep as the deep below, there is the water of life. Kind of important. So it flows from above, there is no where to hide from the goodness of God. Worth repeating, All goodness trickles from Above…
But when was the last time you saw the likes of the Carnival Cruise Liner strut down 5th Ave in NYC? Did you ever see a camel walk across frozen Lake Tahoe? Good questions really, not comical, but prove that boundaries are good and necessary.
So that water which foam is the end of the road is in harmony with the Creator’s engineering marvel that earth is contained ‘in the water.’ Love that fact that so-called science is oblivious to the obvious, and travels high and low to supplant what is very good, God’s word that is. Boundaries in nature are further proof of God’s care for His creation.
No, evolution did not produce the mighty ocean’s stop signs. Evolution did not produce the great deep. Evolution did not make massive Everest grow from pebbles. The ranges of Nepal are made by He who made Shasta, the Matterhorn, Fuji, the Smokies, Rockies, take your pick. See where one truth takes another, as it is connected to every square inch of life.
But He also neglected to make the flatlands of Kansas or the wetlands of Florida as the Alps. Boundaries doncha know. It’s America the beautiful for a reason. No other country on earth has so much from shore to shore, boundaries/states/ all along the way.
Seems though (as I ramble) that people are entirely too self absorbed/make themselves too large in the presence of themselves. The Norther Lights do not allow such exaggerated importance when seeing such awe. The circuit of the moon laughs at men’s ignorance of He who orders its’ path. But the lights of Aurora have boundaries. The moon too shall come no closer.
Day and night have boundaries, something which should forever silence so-called evolution. The repetition of the cycles of life have sadly made people drunk with what they call ordinary. No, there is no ‘ordinary’ in rain, daylight, heat, cold, snow, evergreens, coconuts, figs, olives, whales, eagles, coal, gold, fur, or blood. But note, even the eagle has boundaries as he would be foolish to build a nest on the summit of k-2.
And when was the last time you saw a bat instead of a gull when you were sunning and funning? Boundaries. Let’s revisit what surfers choose to ride; Look at those gorgeous Hawaii Five O waves!! But they do not continue like the untimely tsunami. Stop! The boundaries have obeyed by He whose laws rule.
So we enjoy the pride of life yet neglect to see the obedience of the proud waves as they cease per boundaries given them. Stop. Pause. Consider. The mere fact we have questions is enough proof there is One greater. Boundaries are evidence that man (nonanthropos includes women for the wishy-washy) is not the god that he has made himself.
Finally, as the pic above suggests, we far too often neglect to see things from Above, a better point of view that is. Small does not mean unimportant, but it’s a good thing that from the heights of 28,000 ft @ Everest, to see for thousands of miles- to see the wonderful boundaries tween heaven and earth.
So is it any surprise that the apostles said when they were in the company of One greater: ‘what manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey………..’ Uh, yep, even nature bows to the One who has made boundaries. So what’s our excuse?
God Has Boundaries! | See, there’s this thing called biology… (wordpress.com)
No Tkx needed in advance/ nor does it take a genius to cite the obvious- even though it did not yet occur.
When President Harris and Biden are sworn in…. there will be a gush the likes that you have not seen.
Tapper/Cooper/Cuomo/Maddow/Baldwin, Lemon, etc etc. will sport the tears- and drip their elation- while they tell Americans they can be proud again- That a man above men is in charge-finally.
Yep, their disgust of all things decent will not be hidden.
Watch the Kleenex boxes. And the media mob will salivate with projected ‘years of happiness.’
Then they will sing the song of the munchkins- ‘ding dong the witch is dead.’ But I prefer perhaps what is more correct: the tears of a clown.
The much revered hero of artificial intellect, aka, the godfather of atheism, Richard Hawkins, when speaking of Trump, opened his trap regarding the silencing of ‘words’ he finds offensive and said this:
‘He went far beyond expression of opinion (which should be protected) to outright lies, demonstrable falsehoods.’
Yeah ok, here we have a man that is clueless regarding ‘TRUTH’ yet pretends to be an arbiter of left and right, right and wrong? Yep, I’m convinced….
Hey Rich: who spreads the lie of the greatest LIE of the ages, ‘there is no God?’ It is you sir. Hey Rich, who spreads the lie that the universe is 13.6 billion years old? It is you sir, for you have not one drop of verifiable, observable, and testable proof. None. Your guesswork is embarrassing so stop it.
Back to point 1. Since there is no God, there is (according to your own words) no truth, and you have made yourself the very God you despise. It is you who sits upon the circle of the earth and decides what words can be heard, and what words should be censored.
You promote the words that you approve, and decide by fiat what words should be silenced. So forget about Trump. I’m talking about you Rich. Why should your lies be welcomed in the arena of ideas?
But more. Demonstrable falsehoods? Ha! You sir are the president of this drunken society. You are wearing a hat that is too big for your head and may be putting pressure on your brain. Perhaps you should spend time ALONE, apart from the influence of others like you who all drink at the poisoned well of rancid water which you gulp and yet swear it is refreshing.
Dare you stand on the oceans where not a human can be seen for thousands of miles and say ‘my evolution made this!’ Dare you accuse mighty Everest of random serendipity which appeared having no planning nor purpose? Now you then dare to promote your ‘falsehoods and demonstrable lies’ by saying that these waters and mountains are proof of your ‘13.6 yr. old theory?’ Right, I forgot, that gallon of water had children which had children which had children and ‘grew’ into the Pacific. Pathetic.
So demonstrable falsehoods eh? There is only one person wearing a dunce cap in this discussion. So let’s silence my words, but not yours. Let’s silence Michael Savage, but not Jack Dorsey. See the pattern of stupidity?
But to show and prove I am the well balanced person here, and you are out to lunch, I approve of your right to promote your ‘demonstrable lies,’ because I am secure in my ability to dismantle them in 3 seconds flat with two seconds left over. But it is only a world of mental insecurity which is threatened by MY views.
You sir, are weighed in the balance, and are found to be severely wanting. My leash of grace and patience is something you cannot fathom, and my seemingly stinging words are really words of restraint. You should hear what I’m thinking.
So the water, gold, and coal below, the wood, leather, flora, and fauna upon, the air, clouds, water, and sky, as well as the feathers above………..all point to your ‘truth’ of ‘testable evidence’ which supports your 13.6 yrs of godlessness………………(Ugh I can’t stand it)
Stop it Rich. Stop the lies. Leave some space in your heart for truth. Engage the brain first and enjoy free speech. But I’ll stand by and approve of watching a tongue operate without understanding.
After a long waited appt. for an eye exam, I showed up, charming personality hidden behind the maskly donned 6’3 frame, on time, took off my jacket, said hello, and was immediately accosted (ok maybe an exaggeration) by the woman who sits with that condescending over-the top-of the eyeglass stare, who says: ”whoa, wait a second, we need to wash the hands and change the mask.’
Of course the good natured person that I am did not start screaming at her for her embarrassingly lack of manners while she extends the sanitizer for my washing pleasure, and as she proceeds to hand me an ‘office approved idiotic mask that she too was sporting that looked like it came right out of Goofy’s garage. But it wasn’t the appearance of the mask that was disturbing.
It was the fact that MY freshly opened ‘right-out-of- the- box Hospital mask was not acceptable for her office. Noooooo. I said, ‘ma’am, this is brand new, maybe 30 seconds old.’ ‘Sorry, you have to wear this.’
Actually, miss poopsnoodle, I do not. My common sense trumps your insane and arbitrary policy. So I did what most thinking people would do. I turned around and said ‘enough. goodbye.’ Naturally, she was left standing in shock that a person dared NOT to comply.
The issue of whether masks prevent/delay the spread of this or that is a topic for another time. My main beef was she would not trust me with MY mask, but I am asked to trust hers???? Company policy? Do you see where this is headed?
And to any Christian who would find fault with my handling, I say this. We are the sheep of God’s green pasture, we are not the stupid sheep who say ok to Hitler when he says, ‘I have a shower for you. It will keep you safe.’ Again, an exaggeration, but the idea now of ‘you have to wear THIS mask’ is revolting to a sane mind. But wow, I bet her buttons were busted to see a man disappear after waiting for hard to get exams, but so what.
At least there was another patron sitting there who witnessed the carnage. Maybe it woke him up as he stared blindly with his goofy grape office approved mask. Maybe more will stop and think so as to slow down the avalanche of insanity coming to a town near you.
As for me though, I plan to have an astounding -21 with the Lord’s permission.
So saith many people, one of which I reference that brings this post to the light of day. Do visit that site and offer some needed balance. Let’s then dig beneath the surface to see if these gripes hold water, and proceed slowly.
Oh, for gods sake! – A Tale Unfolds (wordpress.com)
1st on God’s list: make man. Uh, a big fat nnno. God created the heavens and the earth lllllong before a man with a shovel appeared on the scene. For HIS pleasure they ARE, and WERE created. Got that? They ARE. And oh by the way, the existence of LIGHT should give pause for serious contemplation.
Mighty Everest, the sands of Sahara, Alaska, the great circumference of the ice walls, the regulation of earth’s temperature, oceans, rivers, streams, the wildlife of whales, deer, bear, elephants, the elements of gold, coal, the beauty of pearls, the sun and heat, the moon and cold, fruit, were all a delight and absolutely perfect in form, BEFORE God made man.
People are entirely too selfish and have small minds to think man reigns supreme apart from He who gave him a brain. One only need to stand in silent awe before the Himalayas and the stars of heaven. Who are you little man?
2nd, 3rd.. Of course God then gave man a free will. Of EVERY fruit they may indulge, yet with a caveat. There is ONE that will ruin the day. A father gives his son free reign over his house, telling him to enjoy every room, every emolument, every drink, yet ‘do not touch the Rolls Royce in the garage.’ The Maserati yes. The Stradivarius yes. The Rolex yes. Everything in the house is yours. What sane mind could argue with a simple request. But nope, Junior not only steals the car, but wrecks it killing a family of four.
So the myopic says, ‘God’s fault, He knew the kid would would behave badly.’ See how this works? Commands are for our good, yet when we stray, somehow the Creator is charged with malfeasance. Yeah ok, sure.
4th. God favours one group? Were you paying attention to no. 1? God is sovereign and could have made the sky brown instead of blue. He could have given camels six legs. He could have made one legged turkeys. The very existence of Israel proves God can be trusted, and by comparison, we can easily see how many nations of the world despise not only that country, but Jews themselves worldwide.
The Israeli contributions to society by way of medicine, music, diplomacy, archeology, finance, technology, military, (not to mention one of the greatest air forces) universities, on and on, cannot be over emphasized. Truly, through this nation, decent people must agree, that ‘all the world shall be blessed.’ Scripture records accurately Israel’s failures and blessing.
5th. God never speaks? ‘It is not good for man to be alone.’ Ever read the book of Job? ‘Where were you…………when I hung the stars in place?’ Of course God spoke, and His words are recorded, just as relevant today as yesterday. God’s words have a way of silencing the arrogant, the stout, the stiff, and the proud, so it’s no wonder men bi*ch while they cite God with negligence.
6th. Slavery and shrimp? Once again we reveal the short-sightedness of midget minds. I recall Pharaoh having ‘slaves,’ and we know what that meant: death to you. Meanwhile, the blue collar slaves actually enjoyed a life where poverty was off the table, (remember after seven years a slave could stay on, being the life was good) and were better off than minimum wage workers today. Once more, and to be specific, this way of life was demonstrated through Israel, and was copied, although poorly, by many other nations.
Shrimp? So what, a dietary law demonstrating the bottom feeder, the vacuum sweepers of the seas, were not as good for the human body as other ‘clean’ critters. But a command not given to you or me, but to the Israelites under law. Remember, free will? Go ahead, eat all the shrimp or pork you want. It’s a free country.
7th. The death of the Lord Jesus Christ. I shudder at the ease of scorn in which the unbelieving mind traffics in the holy of holies. The loss of blood beginning from Abel speaks of life lost, and a violent death, because of transgression. In any reasonable household when things go astray,, there must be an accounting, a time to admit wrong, and to set things straight. The earth as it were, is not very good now as it was in the beginning. You may want to re-think the death, scope, and purpose of the only fit man who lived.
There has been a concussion of events through history where people have killed others in wholesale fashion, with zero regard for present or future ramifications. The provision by God when that good man Abraham would take a ram was met with these words: ‘God will provide Himself as a lamb….’ prophetic words which would quench every past and future infraction, and satisfy He who said: ‘the life of the flesh is in the blood.’
8th. As to God’s presence today? He is not far, and is easily visible to all who seek. He is as true today, He does not sleep, and He remains consistent to Himself.
But the best is reserved for last and scripture ever proves true, as to WHY two people having a brain, can come to opposite conclusions regarding these 8 short observations, and it is not a matter of intellect, but one that is much deeper, and more obvious. I say this not with guile in the least, but it is true regarding men’s thoughts of God:
‘With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward,’ And this of course is from the 18 of Psalms. No other explanation is necessary. Go to the mighty heights of k-2 and God is there. Go to the depths of Mariana trench and God is there. Go to any ICU hospital wing where death awaits and God is there. Go to any L&D where birth awaits and God is there.
These short answers to the poster’s complaints answer clearly WHY men make themselves larger than God. It is never a matter of not having enough information. It is however apparent that men simply do not like the information already given. It is not that God has not spoken, but that which He already and clearly said is despised. And oh, God does not make spelling error. He created the Alphabet. He is the Alpha and Omega. End of story.
Is EGO or Intellect the engine which fuels the god of atheism? Why?
Will human beings ever grow skin like the LEATHER of the whitetail deer? Why? Why not?
Has evolution ever created one genuine snowflake?
Can evolution prevent the rising of the once dead but perennial flower bulb?
Do not the four seasons speak of earth’s consistency and promise, without which a Creator would be an impossibility?
Does not the moon’s perfect light speak of a Creator whose watchful eye does not sleep?
Is it not laughable that men boast of evolution having knowledge that they have accumulated in 30 years, while at the same time stating their same ‘knowledge’ points to an impossibly verified billion of years?
Is it not strikingly apparent that men in fact have not evolved, either in learning or morals, and have been but poor stewards of earth’s resources, yet blaming God for every vice under the sun?
Does not the opening line of Genesis answer man’s deepest yearning for truth and purpose, and settles forever the question of How and Who? Yes, ‘in the beginning God……….’
Do not the records of Kings and Chronicles, point to a divine record keeping that is envious of the most attentive Court and Deed Recorder?
Does not Psalms and Proverbs lead the mind toward a greater mind of excellence and wisdom? Do these very books not speak eloquently and ask questions, as well as answer, that man is small but relevant, having the ability to create and perceive?
Has mankind (includes women of course, which no sober minded female finds offense) ever been able to rid the conscience of God stamped upon the soul? Why not?
Does it not alarm you that in the providence of God, He has told any willing ear that there will arrive on the page of history a world-wide trading system, that would eliminate cash and coin? Hint hint: the introduction of bar codes/ chips/ eye scans/ credit cards/ with the self described arrogance of Musk and Gates as the greatest preachers?
Are men not fools for doubting God and His word?
Beauty and goodness comes in many flavors. Here is a song that should make believers happy, and while it may even excite the auditory canals of the atheist, a greater question should be asked: Why does something please me that I cannot even understand the words?
I love the timbre and tempo, I love the seriousness and delight of the singer, I so enjoy the clear reverence for a God above all, and I am fond too of the apple of His eye.
Enjoy and pass along to others who appreciate music of all stripes. (there was a sweet singer of Israel back in the day…………)
Aharon Berk- V’erastich Li | וארשתיך לי – אהרן בירק – YouTube
Saw my neighbor last night, that effulgent and demure moon that I call my friend. MY friend doncha know, as she is there for ME. Call it arrogant, call it presumptuous, but what would YOU call it, and why is … Continue reading
Secrets revealed for they who are intimately familiar with every book of the bible which precedes it. Intellectual and spiritual maturity, (so missing in the tender ears of the immature or unlearned) which guides the soft hearts in knowing the marvel and excellence of God, are the critical components in unfolding the book of books.
Of course to the ignorant it is a book of nonsense, but to the wise it is the capstone that reveals mysteries that only baffle an atheist.
Above all, it proves the Creator of the sun and moon does not sleep, and is well aware of man’s attempts to supplant Him. In this God laughs, and His patience is otherworldly. In context, covid-19 will prove to be but a pimple on the page of history, as Revelation is not a book of gossip or which agrees with majority opinion, nope, but a book which puts a premium on understanding, the KEY to unlocking it’s contents.
What is so dark about topaz, jacinth, or jasper? What is so strange about He whose voice is as the sound of many waters? What is so strange about the plagues that men so equally deserve? What is so odd about God telling His agents: ‘hurt not the trees?’
Revelation declares with no ambiguity the end of days, with no appeal to a higher court, as only God is truly Supreme. No gloom of days, no, yeah rather, an admission that when the last crop is in, when the last raindrop falls, when the last dream is had, when time must cease, Revelation states what has always been true: that God is always good and His ways perfect.
The Lord of heaven and earth stands true, and of course His word is always good. A man would be a poor carpenter if he has never learned the secrets of the plumb line and the level. 65 books to test the apprenticeship. Revelation, while difficult, is not a book for amateurs.
Which is harder to believe, that the air of Mt. Everest is heavy, or that God’s angels await with patience?
While contemplating what is plumb (vertical) and what is level, (horizontal) the thought occurred to me.
Without God in mind, the common atheist (as good a person as he may be) is just a simple mass or glob of irrelevance. Prove me wrong. I dare you. I dare the likes of DeGrasse, Nye, Maher, Sagan now departed, or any woman on earth who makes the claim of a godless existence, to try to defend that YOU are relevant and have a purpose.
You may try. You can makes excuses. You can defend cosmic irrelevance with a crooked smile, but you will fail in any court of law where common sense is the ultimate jurist.
Without design, there is no intelligence. Without intelligence, there is no blueprint. Without a blueprint, there is no Burj Kalifa. Without aforethought, there is no planning of streams, rivers, lakes, oceans. There are no mountains. Mighty Everest could not stand without a foundation, immoveable. The Sears tower would topple without engineering of the massive pillars hidden beneath the ground.
There would be no blood nor need, no bone, no sinew, no thumbs, no feet, no where to go, for walking requires intelligence.
So too, life without a print, would be irrelevant. I would have right to take anything, anywhere, anytime. I could steal your cow, shoot your windows, burn your home, destroy your cornfield with gasoline, and go to sleep, having done NOTHING wrong, for after all, life and me are easily irrelevant. There is no higher purpose, and every man has his birth right to do what is right in HIS OWN EYES.
I dare you to disagree, that is, unless, there is one God with whom you have to do. And there is. And He does. I dare you to defend your random existence of accidental and purposelessness. You cannot. For purpose requires, no, DEMANDS intelligence.
And yet, in all this, in this world of anarchy, lawlessness, disorder, there is immeasurable beauty that supercedes all else, there is the daily harmony of the simple stream that does not care who votes for who, who steals from who, but which runs along, as it always has, cascading and making the sounds of water over stones, sounds which no early maestro can muster, but we do not pay attention to the true Conductor, who is ever so patient with the blindness and deafness of men who defy Him.
God is good like that, but be careful what you do with that dare.
While doing renovation at our house, it is so easy to scrap something that appears unsightly; a piece of lumber loaded with rusty nails, the appearance of decay or rot, it’s time seems used up, the purpose being ended, the post that held up a porch has seen better days, and the greyish hue of time makes the wood look like a grandfather on life support.
But wait. The wood is heavy. It feels strong. So what if its years of service have ended, there is something here that needs investigated. So I paused the cement work, grabbed my circular saw with a new Diablo blade, and cut a few areas that were not affected by damage.
But are we not as humans, similar to the wood? Do we not judge things by appearance on occasion to our detriment, and do not others make assessment of us without having all the facts? Imagine if you will, the unexpected and off the charts serendipitous moment of elation when I laid eyes on this magnificent piece of lumber hidden through time just waiting to be revealed.
Smooth like glass, not a defect to be seen, but more, the hidden man of the heart so to speak. And it was 2″ wide! Not the artificial measurements of 1 1/2″ that passes for 2″ today, nope, no false advertising. 2″, rock hard and exquisite.
I can’t begin to tell you how happy I was to see this, to hold it, to enjoy the depths of God’s understated genius, and to consider that all good things come from His hand. But are we not like this piece of wood too? Such distinct works of creation, with no two grains the same, fearfully and wonderfully made.
The believer who sees this will smile to, for the connections are obvious, yet all others may not be so enthralled, for ‘science’ can take no credit, none, nula, nada, zero.
So, while men look on the outward appearance, God looketh upon the heart, and sees value where others do not. In the middle of a hot sweaty day, I so much smiled at the hundreds of ways ‘we get rid of things,’ and miss what joy and blessing awaits us being a foot away.
He made the trees. He made coal, gold, cotton, leather, and of course, He made the stars also. Look closely, underneath it all, and you will see the foundations of the earth, made by the Architect who is always perfect, and who enjoys revealing Himself to they who earnestly seek.
You have heard it all. The cop was a monster killer. Floyd was a boy scout. The word ‘Justice now!’ is given a platform, and is code for ‘we want OUR verdict.’ Everybody apparently is on the ‘protest’ bandwagon, and nobody will be satisfied until a jury finds the policeman guilty of murder.
But not so fast. Mind you, this is my opinion, but haven’t we been told ‘innocent until proven guilty?’ Doesn’t seem that way. When asked how they will proceed, all interested parties set forth their demands: conviction. Guilty already, without ALL evidence.
Consider that small word ‘proven.’ Sure the video was telling, but all we hear is the point of view of the man who had a knee to his head. I want to hear from the policeman. I want to hear what happened, what was said, BEFORE the man ended up on the ground.
Is it possible, and I raise the possibility, that said policeman feared for his own life? Is it possible that Floyd threatened him, his family, with death, the minute he could stand? Surely you have heard of ruses used by men who say ‘I can’t breathe,’ then when released, stand up and attack with a vengeance he who was holding him down? Criminal behavior follows the morally bankrupt. So here is reasonable doubt if so.
Have not officers dealt with lying men and women in that situation before? Was the policeman intentionally trying to end a life? Was he holding a gun to his head? What was said?
You have also heard that witnesses are sought that paint the cop as a monster, but you do not hear one word as to video that would help the policeman. And the riots? Really? Cars stolen from dealership to PROTEST?
An ER doctor cant get to his emergency because roads are blocked, and everybody applauds the carnage. One policeman in a dubious looking photo, but I refuse to get onboard and say guilty of murder before the evidence says as much.
And the fact that Cooper, Wolf, Brooke, Cuomo, etc etc, are not interested in ALL evidence, is a sad day in America when people who are clueless find a man guilty without hearing all the facts.
Surely no reasonable person could argue against my points.
(btw, the reason the military was involved, was the policemen’s hands were tied while they were being bricked as they watched their cars burn. So yeah, liberalism and its insidious poisonous policies is why the military was needed. )
Greeting to friends across the world, hello to believer kin, evo and atheist neighbors everywhere. Do consider.
Social distancing? Uh, nnnnno, let’s go with the more correct phrase: social Conditioning. Don’t think so? Bear with my folly, then decide for yourself.
Do you really think that the idea for locking ankle bracelets with GPS trackers to identify c-19 cases was dreamed up last week? Do you honestly believe that a man who lives with his spouse on a 4,000 acre ranch in Northwest Wyoming should be handcuffed and carted away to jail for not keeping his 6′ distance?
At WHAT time in history can you remember when all the nations of the world seemed to be in harmony fighting a common enemy? Does not the very idea of a truce with communism, Al Quaida, pharmaceutical companies, and lousy governance give pause for serious introspection?
It will be found out that the makers of the problem will be makers of the cure, (if not already made) and the whole world will wonder, but not all. The not-so-subtle daily conditioning of plans, laws, what business is ‘necessary,’ who will be compensated, what ‘time’ one may leave the house, who can sell food, what state you may enter, what border you may cross, etc, etc, has long been in the drawing room, just awaiting the ‘right’ opportunity to ascend the next level………….the next level ere the ‘one world government’ takes its place upon history’s front page.
Yes, the c-19 ‘crisis’ is just another step towards the necessary genius aided by the Googles, the Microsofts, the Bing’s, the Twits, the Instagrams, the Tubes, the CNN’s, princes, dukes, queens, kings, prime ministers, presidents, to put in place the alleged safety and security of the citizens on this place called earth. (Then there is the new and improved 5g interference, but that’s an entirely different rabbit trail.)
Rest assured, it is neither safe nor secure, but it is a placebo where man will once again ‘feel safe,’ after c-19 dies it’s hard death. But ah! the lessons given by the governments of the world will be much appreciated by the masses, and like toy soldiers, will all fall in line one by one and ‘thank’ the governments for being so helpful. Really?
So the crisis ends, but look what was gained. Compliance. If you were caught outside after 8pm, you were obviously a threat, if even to walk your dog. There is always a price to pay, and freedom is slain on the government altar. Wear a mask! Go to the infection tent for examination. We want to protect you!
Now this is where the believer as well as atheist needs to pay attention. The good book, the holy scriptures that is, God’s revelation to man whereby we be not lost as fog in a cloudy world where up and down, left and right, right and wrong, are only opinions, this book tells us, with ZERO ambiguity, that the ‘peace of the world’ is not only diametrically opposed to the peace of God, but is a sworn enemy of truth itself.
One must question the sincerity of one’s faith who doubts Daniel spent a night in the den of lions, Joseph was thrown in the pit, Pharaoh had to deal with too many frogs, Joshua’s seven circled trek, Samson died under a pile of rock while apologizing to God, or that there WILL be a singular world government with its own bankrupt currency, led by a very evil man, a man by the way who will have nothing short of Hollywood’s brain- dead charm, able to sprinkle words of fairy dust to put to sleep they who lack understanding. You see, it’s not even so much what I think about the exodus of Moses, but can God be trusted. Uh, yeah, He can be trusted, we have His word after all.
So while the believer has no excuse for debunking the very scriptures he supposedly holds dear, (if he makes the claim of an elected one,) the atheist should also wake up and take notice, that the good book has always been correct, that He who is apart from time, He who spoke forth the sun and moon, He who engineered heat and light, gold and coal, leather and cotton, male and female, TOLD us about c-19, which is only a sign of the times. But who needs signs when one has already arrived?
30 years ago I knew this day would come, and I was thought a fool when I casually mentioned the bar code on a loaf of bread as one more item of CONDITIONING. You see, the essence of good conditioning is slowly cooked, over time, until such time that one more layer is put upon the ply, until that little ant appears in full as a monstrous dragon. But how did this happen, how did it grow, how did we not notice? Easy, we SLEPT, and while we slept, an enemy hath done this. We didn’t notice because we had other cares.
So complacency over time was used by the devil’s of chaos, sowing seeds of doubt and despair, and whether c-19 is manmade, or a fluke of nature, it is used as a worldwide tool by God’s adversary, but mind you, God is not surprised, and neither should be people of faith. So believer friend, will you admit to the conditioning, and atheist and evo neighbor, can you not see the condition of things?
And btw, just as it was foretold, the c-19 attention is just another birth pang to the implementation of the cashless society, which has been in the works for decades, to make citizens of the world ‘safe,’ just like the mask makes you feel ‘safe……..’ CONDITIONING.
(For more of God’s head’s up on things to come, take a peek at this.)
By now you may have heard that some talking heads are saying it’s about time for a ‘one world government’ to help alongside the current c-19 crisis, to steer as it were, ships having no captain, to aid a carpenter who does not know how to read a plumb-line, or to help a mason who doesn’t know how to handle a level, yep, man is lost without a wannabe Solomon who alone can offer such aid as well as other ‘obvious’ emoluments that only he can supply. Yep, man is ready to turn over his brain to the elite, but I digress.
No this is not about the world govt. coming to a town near you (per the scriptures of course) nor is this about the plight of the infirmed or dying, (of which I sympathize) but this is more to the point of identifying fraudulent, misinformed, or lying self made educators.
I saw robins, blue jays, cardinals, doves, wrens, crows, hawks, and other such winged marvels yesterday, and I smiled immensely, then I thought of the MD’s, nurses, and case workers on the front lines in ED’s, yet we so rarely get excited about good news. So we focus on death and despair, and ignore life which stares us in the face. Daily. The c-19 thing merely magnifies our selfishness and myopia. Speaking of myopia.
The current wave of venom and virus spread across the fruited plain of the US as well as the world should forever shut the mouths of evolutionists and atheists once and for all. First, if evo is the great ‘fixer,’ than why be rattled if 10, 1,000, 10,000, a million, a hundred million, or 3 billion people lose lives due to ‘nature’s equalizer?’ How can one honestly complain of that which has been praised for eons?
The evolutionist has no where to hide with such blistering exposure, as he must say ‘amen!’ to the diabolical vacuum sweeper known as coronavirus 19. But what fool would agree with the observations of a Christian?
So the atheistic house of cards is also fallen as evo’s twin in so simple and short a manner.
Who then can open a mouth of protest against the tidal wave of nature’s poison to rid the world of irrelevant, purposeless, accidental and ultimately meaningless life. Do you hear this, meaningless? That’s exactly what the end is of man without a Creator, MEANINGLESS.
Can I now refer you to the word at the top: Razor. This is the final and absolute word on the impossibility of godlessness aka, evolution, as well as atheism which only has the ability to praise itself, but lo and behold the razor! The Truth which slices and dices to pieces all petty gripes and self made dogmas which leave OUT the Creator from His own handiwork. To this, smart people will say amen.
And oh btw, the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
Soooo, no evidence of a Creator? No proof of God’s hand in His own engineering masterpiece called life? Well then, let’s have a listen to One greater who knew you would say that:
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:
(so saith God through His inspiration to Paul, and therefore to you)
Love that word: clearly. Clearly seen. No ambiguity here, no looking through a bent glass. As varied as they may be, no CNN, NPR, Sesame street, or FOX news opinion where bias rules the day. No sports guesswork where stats are called upon as a seer to project a winner. Nope, CLEARLY seen. With so few things that are clear, it is wonderful that God has given to us the ability to recognize true north.
And the result? That we have NO excuse. But what’s the reaction of foolish people? We complain, we cry for ‘evidence,’ we ask for proof, while we ignore the only proof we need, and that is what our eyes and heart tell us.
Don’t want to be an enemy of truth? How about just agree with God regarding what He has made, as well as what He said concerning ourselves. Clearly, it is easy.
Did you know that the Kjv 1611 has no copyright? Is this not pause for wonder in a world of commerce which thrives on the love of money? So go ahead and copy, redistribute, freely. And ask yourself why.
While I’m here, as other translations are helpful to many, the King’s version is the monarch of books. Written in understated elegance which does not flatter, full of matter-of-factness which stirs intellect, affection, and bare bones attention to detail, the book takes you from elementary learning, to calculus squared, if you are interested that is.
From botany and the origin of the species, to climate, gender, flora, fauna, cosmology, the contents will take you where so few fear to go- to the outer limits of truth and beyond, past the cherubim, past the portals of death, to the waters above the waters, and the broken windows of heaven, to the very throne of God itself, where doth abode forever Truth and light.
Yes, light! That daily reminder of truth which we so take for granted- it is always there so to speak, but commonplace is no excuse for ignoring the extraordinary.
So take a gander at that most illustrious of Psalms, 119, and read of the sweet singers pointing to that light which is a lamp unto our feet, that light which guides like a perfect needle on the compass in a world where fog is applauded as clarity. Yes, dependable clarity.
Contrast that to dark speeches given by late night comedians who are secret politicians, plying their craft to they with itching ears, whose ears have been polished by lying science pretenders who swear they KNOW there is no God, that light ACCIDENTALLY appeared to further aid demonic evolution….
So yeah, here’s a shout out to God’s word, thankful for His promise of the covenant given as a reminder by way of the spectacular rainbow- which word is finer than gold- which word is forever settled in heaven- which word confirms day and night, hot and cold, male and female, the sun and moon, and which word promises the restitution of ALL things.
God’s word, GOOD. Extra, extra, read all about it, and you will still after 100 years study, only but scratch the surface. and the kjv, better than all.
