Einstein said long ago that clear thinking is more important than success.  People do what they do because they believe what they believe.  Today's actions come from "stinking thinking".

The New World Order and the colts it has spawned ,accounts for most of the stinking thinking evident on every hand in today's world. The cult of environmentalism of honoring the creature instead of the creator. (Romans 1-25) and find according to the book "The Secret" written by Rhonda Byrne , who because of the great theologian Oprah Winfrey, sold 4 million copies in 6 months. This Australian newscaster and follower of Marianne Williamson, a former cocktail waitress and lounge singer, began speaking before groups with such philosophy as 'God exists in eternity. The only point where eternity meets time is in the present. The present is the only time there is.' or 'Our past is a story existing only in our minds. Look, analyze, understand, and forgive. Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it.' . It is this type thinking that has tinged every item in our life toward a 'green revolution' and, the only citizen who can speak with any authority,anymore, must be hatched in the politically correct halls of academia or be a member of the liberal news and communications networks, or even more spectacular, come from a conglomerate of commercialism.


In my lifetime, I have seen men who would have been embarrassed and hide with humiliation and shame, kneel before congress people of questionable political reputation with their 'begging bowls' outstretched trying to get money from the well -picked pockets of the bankrupt and overworked taxpayers.  Is this the New World Order? Where character determines destination, and honesty and a 'pure heart' are the blessings of an all powerful creator.

My life changed one Sunday morning in 1978 on the Pacific island of Samoa while I was staying at the famous Aggie Grey's Hotel. This blind, 100% disabled, service connected veteran, always sought to go to a worship service. One of the employees of the hotel was instructed by Aggie to walk me to a nearby church ,a small white clapboard edifice. He left me at the door when I assured him I would be all right inside. I took a seat on a pew amid a houseful of barefoot natives. It just so happened that the piano was playing my grandmother's favorite hymn 'What a friend we have in Jesus'. I could not understand their words but I knew the music from a childhood of continuous church activity. The missionary preacher, a woman with a real high pitched voice, walked all the way down the center aisle to welcome me and to give me her scripture for her sermon. From that day to this day, I have used that verse of scripture many times in my own speaking because it changed my life at a time when I was very depressed about my physical condition. 'Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee;' (Psalm 84-5) Why should those of the New World Order, the environment worshipers, or any other cult spend so much time and energy when they know full well the source of their strength. "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."(John 14-6) When our blessed lord left with only the instructions found in four words ' Occupy until I come'(Luke 19-13)
