Rock Music and Smoke Machine

Mark Twain said, India is the ultimate travel destination. Like so much of the world, I have traveled through India several times, beyond description. I was in Amristar, India, cradle of the Sikhs, location of the Gold Temple. Civilization has not caught up with this remote village. Because of political problems, few enter the temple but the officials wanted me to experience it. Located in a lake, you walk across a bridge to the temple, where Monks are exploring great stacks of manuscripts. Around the edges of the enclave, buildings where large vessels were preparing food for the many pilgrims, Sikhs from around the world, their turbans, sabers, bracelets, distinct apparel.

Two writers from a well known magazine were there, attempting to get into Afghanistan to photograph the standing Buddhas at Banyan. They had bribed a pilot and asked me to go with them, a free trip. Even then, political turmoil impossible to get into Afghanistan. The Hindu Kush mountains are beyond compare in the Himalayas. In the side of a large mountain, chiseled, standing Buddhas, which the Al Qaeda have now destroyed. So tall, to photograph them you must go completely across the valley. Little change since Rudyard Kipling described the Khyber pass. (and the first time I was there a camel train went through the pass just as it had 2000 years ago) you hear nothing but Muslim calls to worship, and see nothing but poverty-stricken people riding on donkeys. In viewing religious relics throughout the world, whether the Taj Mahal at Agra or the temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Egypt, one is confounded to think of the commitment of mortals in time and treasury to a false religion. Just think how long it took and how dangerous it was for artisans to chisel these over 400 foot tall standing Buddhas at Banyan. The Islamic terrorists are attempting to destroy the Christian church in all of the over 40 Muslim countries aided and abetted by the anti-Christian power brokers in America. The Coptic Christians are being killed and run out of Egypt, same in Iraq, same in Syria, same in Hamas-controlled West Bank. Christians in most Muslim countries are fleeing to Canada and Australia. When I was in Nigeria, I found Pentecostals frightened. I encountered Christians in China, underground church. Christianity has always grown when persecuted. Today, there are more Christians in China than the population of the United States, over 300 million in a country of that plus one billion people.

From daily news headlines, one thinks, how can America continue with such perversion-dishonesty-apathy on every hand. Throughout the world, Africa, Balkans, Asia, there are continuous efforts toward ethnic-cleansing. Are we on the fringes of such in America? The effort to secularize America started in my lifetime. (1963, prayer and Bibles removed from schools; 1973, abortion rights; 1993, new world order) The world, the flesh, the devil... the tares... have invaded the churches, the denominations. It is not just lesbian Bishops, ordained gay preachers in the pulpit, but comfortable-satisfied “so-called” Christians on the pews. Many, now, just get up and walk out of services when the pastor is just performing. The Christian has the need for “the meat” of God's Word, not just something to please the ears. (2 Tim 4:3, Heb., 5:12)

A local church member had moved to another city, now seeking a new church home. At one, the preacher so far astray, she got up and left the service, went to the activities building to get her child from ”children's church”. “Children's church” was set up like a night club, rock-religious music, smoke machine, twittering lights, and children sitting around tables drinking punch. Sean Varner, pollster states that 60% of all children reared in Christian homes, after going to college, leave the church. We note that most churches have become a sea of gray hair.

I cannot understand why, on most electronic programs of ministry (radio and television)(the speaker must confess that he has “been saved” from a life of addiction-drugs, alcohol, sexual perversion. Why does the preacher or anyone else hit bottom before looking up? Even the old, rural church, built by my ancestors, and where I was so committed, I never hear anything from them except when having pizza and pool parties. In most churches, the baptistry and communion tables are little used. The pastors trousers are worn at the seat not at the knees... congregation diabetic from excessive pulpit sugar. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. (Jer. 17:8)

Even in time of drought, those with roots near a river of the nourishing water from the fountain of God will continue to stay green-alive and producing fruit.

Blank Check

North Carolina and Oklahoma were the last two states to allow open bars, liquor by the drink. North Carolina was the last state to allow a lottery, supposedly for education purposes. This writer was very active both in speaking and raising money to prevent this legislation. Too many lives have been ruined with alcohol and gambling, intemperate, excessive, addictive. It is not necessary to give examples of those who cannot control alcohol and gambling anymore than those who cannot control overeating, sexual perversion, or any other action that is or can become a sin.

As a scientist, probably a small amount of liquor is good for you and, as one who has made much money on the stock market, buying shares is always a gamble. It is impossible to take the risk out of living.

After much thought and prayer, and limiting the expense to four dollars a week, money which I would never miss, I buy four lottery tickets on the big payoffs. This past week someone won over $200 million, one number, one ticket, one person. My objective, just as with every other dollar I make, I would establish a foundation for the disabled because I well know, without a shadow of doubt, that the country's largest minority, the handicapped and disabled, are totally left out in most areas of life and living... school house, public expenses such as libraries, parks, restaurants, even the church house. “So-called” Christians and pastors have ignored this vital sector of the community. You will find most of us at home, even veterans are not appreciated at political and other events. I am a totally blind, 100% disabled, service connected, medical officer, veteran, of the Korean era. I could count on the fingers of one hand the times anyone has made anything available to me. I have offered $1000.00 to anyone who can show at any Holy day or holiday any church, veterans group, civic club, and I could say family member, has done anything for me. Even the Red Cross, Salvation Army, Government Social Services, when I was both a patient and staff member of A military hospital, nothing was ever done. God is my witness to these statements. This blind veteran has never been able to get a white cane from the VA, I find them at thrift stores, probably discarded by someone who has gone on to a place where such is not needed.

The writer C.S. Lewis, in his book, The Great Divorce said, ”At the end of this life, you either say to God, “Thy will be done or My will was done.”” This writer has already won life's lottery, born in America with the opportunities afforded American citizens, born in a home with the parents, with the ancestry, with the “raising” given me.

In the council chambers of eternity, God knew the beginnings and the endings of every individual life who, He chose, He foreknew to live on this earth. (Romans 8: 28, etc.) He put thorns on rose bushes, so loves you that He will allow you to hate Him, gave you freedom of choice. He knew that you would be so miserable around real Christians that you would not want heaven, where you would be with them for eternity. He put good and evil in the world so you could tell the difference and make your own decision about which you like best. Despite what Rabbi Harold Kushner said, Why bad things happen to good people. You will decide why good things happen to bad people.

God gave to the weak, the depressed, the disabled, a blank check. My blindness has been my greatest blessing. Two of the world's greatest Christians, theologians, Martin Luther and Charles Spurgeon, crippled by depression. The Apostle Paul, next to Christ, the world's greatest preacher “Thorn in the flesh.” (2 Cor. 12:7) In the international dog and pony show, political grandstanding, financial rewinding, making a few very rich through wars and military corruption. The “PAUSE THAT REFRESHES” (The most famous advertising statement by Coca Cola) is the time available to every child of God who knows, without a doubt, that he has available to him, the greatest power in the world the One who created the world, available to him or her as a blank check, fully-forever endorsed. Any problem, BE SPECIFIC.

Our greatest wealth, book beyond describing, The Bible, rich in the history of one chosen people, much about the eternal city. Sennacherib's Syrian Army had captured most fortressed cities, encamped outside the walls of Jerusalem. The people could see the thousands of campfires, could hear the cursing of the messengers to King Hezekiah. The King and the people knew the ravaging, killing, raping awaiting them. The King took the problems to God. In one night, one angel of the Lord, 185,000 dead Syrian soldiers. Sennacherib returned home and was later killed by one of his own sons.

In 2012, and I can still hear those old folks singing this hymn in the old church where I was reared, Take your burdens to the Lord and leave them there. Don't allow your circumstances to affect your faith but rather ALWAYS, allow your faith to determine your circumstances.

Protective Seal

Christians did not invent questioning the leadership of God. The first days in the creation of the world, leading to the fall of man, and man was perfect in the beginning, (devolved not evolved since then) the hen-pecked wife of Adam, Eve, and the serpent, questioned God.

Very few world scholars will question man, created in the image of God. We think we go from victory to victory down the road of life. Early, we discovered there is one conflict after another. Only the Christian has a protective seal (I will never leave thee nor forsake thee) (Hebrews 13:5) We may be in darkness, but God knows where we are... the claim we have on Him and He on us.

The world, the flesh, the devil has tried to make all of us just livestock on the global plantation. Beginning in the 20^th century, particularly in America, where animals do not have constitutional or God-given rights, men have been put on the same level with other animals. (research laboratories of Big Pharma have used rats and dogs, medical science has bowed to the altar of Baal and used the unborn, human beings in mental institutions and even veterans to accomplish “research” objectives)

This writer will never understand why liberalism, with it's philosophy of honoring the creature rather than the Creator is so attractive to academics and minorities, (blacks, gays, the poor) There is a relentless desire in the heart and soul of man to be free... free to succeed, free to express. Where did God find such men? The first 5000 years of human history, the earth was blackened with sin, horrible sin of men. God destroyed it all with a flood, except for seven individuals and a group of animals He chose to save. A great grandson of Noah, Abram, was located by God in Ur of the Chaldees and instructed to travel 600 miles North, just on faith. God discovered Jacob at Bethel, Moses on the back side of a desert, Paul on that 150 mile road from Jerusalem to Damascus. (a road which this writer has traveled) Just as a chosen race of people were delivered from bondage in Egypt after 400 years of slavery, stiff-necked, rebelling, questioning God's leadership. (manna for food, cloud of fire for guidance) He sent biting-stinging scorpions to sicken and kill them, in type-shadow, (Christ on a cross) Moses put a brass serpent on a pole and all they had to do was look at it for healing. Believers in God, righteousness promises before the cross (the cross, focal point of all history) believers, believers in the promises of God after the cross WILL most certainly, endure many persecutions of the world right along with the unbelievers. I am sorry to tell you, but we are not exempted from the problems of life... just sealed in the protection of God, now and forever.

Get real, those of you who claim the name of Jesus Christ, Christian, if you are 75 years of age, have been to church every Sunday from 11-12 every week of your 75 years, you have only spent 11 months in church... you spend more time in waiting rooms, at traffic lights. In air conditioned comfort, on padded pews, full-sleepy-satisfied, we think we are doing God a favor by being in church, that He needs us. From the beginning, slumber has always been a sign of deceit. God told Jonah to go in one direction, he went another, then, to the bottom of the ship and went to sleep. On the worst night of our Savior's life, the garden of Gethsemane, his three chosen disciples could not stay awake, sleeping as he prayed and sweat blood. In America, and I have never witnessed such in my long life, there is an intensity against Christians, against Christianity and most churches slumber and sleep. Satin knows more about the Bible than you do, that his time is short. (Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.) (Rev. 12:12)

With an imposter in the White House, occupiers and protestors in America and around the world, a four mile wide Strait which could cut off much of the world's commerce, California mandating the teaching of Islam, young people fighting over Air Jordan shoes, it is time for those under the protective seal to feast on Manna... in the desert, a type-shadow of God's Word.

I was in Mali, Africa having visited Timbuktu, the Dogon country, world’s oldest civilizations. At the Bamako airport, alone, my guide at the hotel, ill from eating to much sand, my trying to stay on schedule going to Johannesburg. The Mali air service had two planes, they ran into one another on the runway at the Bamako airport. Of course, as in many third world countries, natives infesting the airport, taking up the chairs, trying to sell a lowly tourist something. I was sitting on the floor at the side of the small building, totally defeated. I said, “God it is all over, you wanted me to travel the world. Let this be the last stop, I cannot fight the incompetence-insanity of the world, not in my condition.” About that time, God said to me, “Get on your feet, I'm not finished with you” and, About that time the airport manager came over and said, “doctor we have everything ready for you” I was put on a plane and all the way to Johannesburg, S. Africa the engines sang, “Great is Thy Faithfulness.” There, an airline official greeted me form the plane and took me to another plane headed for Europe. I was escorted through the large airport, carrying a sword I purchased in Mali, I overheard one small girl say to her mother, “look at that blind man with the sword, I wonder who he is mad with.”

Little Foxes

I first saw Lillian Hellman's famous play, Little Foxes, starring Elizabeth Taylor, in London. The play comes from the verse of scripture in Song of Solomon 2:15 “Little foxes spoil the vines”

For the real smart people among us, those depending on the wisdom of man, those who believe in evolution, NOT DEVOLUTION (I believe that man has devolved not evolved because when man was first made, God saw that he was good, every since, he has gotten worse and worse) The electronic microscope, the microbiologists, the electronics engineers, knowing the “power” of tiny things would tell us that it is the viruses of the world, the small “specs” in a grid that can shut off power, cause much disease and even cause many troubles with your computer.

We know that viruses have been perfected which can shut down the computers-nuclear warheads of our enemy.

A debatable figure in Biblical history, Desiderius Erasmus (1500) academic, theologian, Monk, rode a mule around France and is credited with much of the division of scripture (chapters and verses) A dutch native, a college there is named for him, Erasmus University, controls a research laboratory which has “tweeked” the more than deadly flu virus, so deadly that researchers have been asked not to discuss it, fear of terrorists capturing and spreading this virus which could wipe out civilization. Just think of several terrorists, a vial of this death on their body, just walking through the world's busiest airports OR, chem trails, with which we are all familiar, polluted with such.

It has just been within 150 years, with the invention of the microscope, the electronic microscope, scientists have some idea about the real power of small things. Just think, 150 years ago, surgeons learned to wash their hands.

Science, if we can believe anything science tells us anymore, that 45% of all people in Central America are suffering from malnutrition. I believe that 100% of all Americans suffer from a lack of nutrition. The need for the body to have nutrients and the almost total lack of the elements of nutrition from our food. For those same real smart people among us who believe in evolution, they should study the mitochondria. Each of the trillions of cells in the human body contains one of the buterols, obtained from nutrients regulating cell activity. How well I remember, muscle physiology, the all or none principle “when a muscle fibril is stimulated, it either responds 100% or not at all.” In the study of science, microbiology, even classic history, and particularly the Sovereign Word of God, there is no reason not to believe all and one surely must have a reason for believing none. From the darkness, depths, the chasm between the known and unknown, the most important knowledge has come to us, too small for the eye to see, too small for the ear to hear, but in absolute control of all senses. What vacuous head of intelligentsia, competent thought, knowing about “Little Foxes”, shuns belief in God, the Creator. I was in college in 1953, Watson & Crick announced the discovery of DNA. This should have put much of the mythology of evolution to rest.

London is preparing for the Summer Olympic games, 2012. Olympic athletes have been warned not to eat cow liver. The liver in man or animal is a filter. Clenbuterol is an agent fed to cows to build muscle and, because it is one of the “little foxes” can be mistaken as a banned substance, illegally taken by some athletes to build muscle.

Pope Benedict XVI tells us that true joy is never related to fun. Many of us have had little fun in life. If you live long enough, someone will betray you, someone you trust, employee, friend, associate, certainly a family member. There is no record of Christ ever having fun. The joy of the Christian existence comes from small things, fruit of the spirit, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (Gal. 5:22-23)

Most adults have enough intelligence to show no respect for decadence-dishonesty. In navigating through a culture of indifference, I have found very few people who do not respect old people, veterans, have a love for small children, the disabled. I don't know from where they will come, tiny towns, remote villages, small nations, but God has a small remnant on the highway of righteousness, moving with the spirit of grace... a remnant that is His, a very small remnant the He will preserve and claim.

Surprise and Disguise

The first time I was in USSR, about 40 years ago, when Russia was truly textbook communist, most of the people on the streets, drunk. I said to my guide, ”If I had to live in this God-forsaken place, I would try to “escape” the realities of this place with drunkenness.” Modern man has no way of knowing when his fellow man began to escape the realities of his existence in time and space through the barrier of pretending. The human mind is marvelous beyond comprehension, dreaming-thinking. We first come into contact with the tooth fairy, then the man in the moon, jack frost, even old mother goose. Pretending is as much a part of a child's life as breathing, catalyzed by fairy tale stories.

Later, particularly with boys, action figures, Superman, Batman, Spider man, Iron Man. Until recently, teenage boys put money into games called Pacman, etc. Then, captivating boys, girls, even men and women, the lizards and sorcerers of Harry Potter... God help us. With nanotechnology, adult boys sit for hours playing video games. In fact, video games have become part and parcel of military preparedness. It is so much easier to bomb, kill, and destroy in an impersonal way, unmanned drones. Through WWII, the bayonet made warfare very personal just as the saber-sword made warfare so totally, horribly personal in previous wars.

The greatest controversy in today's church is the trustworthiness of the Bible. 75% of young people who trusted the Bible in their youth, leave the church and religion after going to college. As many have told me, looking back, we realize that most of the people on the pews were just pretending. What would you have if you did hot have the Bible?

I have little patience with those who disparage Mormonism or the Jehovah Witnesses or Catholicism. In my long life of active church conviction, I have found that most Protestants do not know what they believe, especially Baptists, and most could care less. At least these others have an understanding of what they believe, do not hide from it, are willing to walk the streets telling others and, as with Catholics, Mennonites, Amish, wear distinctive clothing. The church was chosen by God to carry His message of sin's ruin and Christ's redemption. The world has taken over the pulpits and the pews. If you do not possess the plumb-line, the authority of God, what do you have?

The cross of Jesus Christ is the focal point of all history. Most people perhaps having a definite desire for belief, stumble at the foot of the cross, never willing to commit totally. At this time of the year, Christmas-New Years season, a time for evaluation, we think of the shepherds, 1A.D., the poorest most depraved people on earth, Bedouins, sordid lives, more like animals rather than humans. Can we even imagine the splendor-grandeur of the millions of angels, heavenly hosts, who announced to them the birth of the son of God. The shepherds believed, without reservation, and told others. The magi, traveling for perhaps several years, large entourage, long distance, after meeting the Christ-child, were not the same, started traveling a different way. The Judaism scholars, priests and prophets, knew about Isiah's and other prophesies, and yet, did not believe, nor did King Herod. God does not wear a watch, own a calendar, but with Him everything is timed. The Jews, even the early church, depended on the reading of scripture from others, audible, the grandeur of words. The ear makes space into which understanding flows.

Exactly 400 years ago, this year, King James of England appointed 54 of the world's best scholars to translate the Holy scripture (King James Bible, 1611). The 54, three groups - one at Oxford, one at Cambridge, one at Westminster. Original manuscripts, Hebrew and Greek scholarship, all coming together to produce a Bible unsurpassed in accuracy, poetry, grandeur. There are 6,000 vocabulary words in the King James Bible compared to a 20,000 word vocabulary of Shakespeare, enabling the poorly educated to understand. Greek and Hebrew notes of these scholars were destroyed in a Whitehall fire but, like the notes of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, enough notes were preserved to authenticate. From 1650 to 1950, the King James translation was the hallmark-genuine scholarship, then started other translations. I was attending the first Methodist church, Memphis, TN, 1952, when a preacher bragged about reading the Revised Standard version of the Bible for the first time.

The Bible, Holy word of God, beyond compare as the “answer book” for everything man encounters. God's word is forever settled in heaven. (Psalm 119:89)

A New Year of Confidence

I understand very few churches, even Baptists, these days have prayer meeting, the fortress of true believers, real Christians, in the early church. I overheard two very elderly ladies of my church talking at lunch, following prayer meeting. I felt I knew something of the heart of both of them. One, had never married, had sat in the same seat-same pew at the front of the church for 72 years... every since she stopped sitting with her parents as a young girl. One said to the other, “I can hardly wait to see him,” the other said, “I know he can hardly wait to see me.” Faith is a verb, action, based on belief, sustained by confidence. Such is the confidence we need to face a new year.

My driver tells me that the streets are aghast with cars, people hurrying and scurrying to get somewhere. With all our getting, so important to know the Giver. We have all heard the phrase “Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” It is better to have never gained or lost than to have done either in the wrong way.

America has the definition for it's financial problems. In 24 years, falling from the world's greatest economic power to the greatest debtor nation, in bankruptcy, unable to determine it's exact debt, a debt that can never be repaid. The word is hypothecating, a practice individuals, banks, nations have been using without even knowing the term. Hypothecating is pledging possessions to someone else without supplying sufficient title of ownership. This is what happened with Jon Corzine, rich banking head of Goldman-Sachs, ex UA Senator, ex Governor, MF Global, and supplier of election funds for Obama. The stock broker-banker cannot pledge the wealth of his clients in transactions. One woman, a 16 year old son with a large trust fund, he too young to be prosecuted, trotted him around from one bank to another borrowing money against that son”s trust fund, This happened locally and it is surprising how much money she obtained from naive bankers. Corzine did the same with rich clients. Every man, woman, child , in America is bankrupt because their country has pledged everything they own or ever expect to own against the debt of the country... about $250,000 each. Now Coirzine, and his partners in crime, enjoy a great life, riding in limousines, eating off gold plates.

The High School students who drop out of High School every day (7000 daily), college students who work several jobs trying to stay in school. Hard-working parents who try to explain to their children why they are losing the security of their home, 40 million, will never understand why and how injustice goes unpunished. When every acumen of human society (Bible-Law books-Constitution) has attested and proclaimed that (honesty is the best policy)

One of mankind's oldest guides to living is the Heidelberg Catechism. (1550) The first question in this Catechism, “What is man's greatest comfort in Life and Death?” and of course we know that it is our faith in Jesus Christ. Few of us can live the great commandment of Christ, loving God and our fellow man (Matthew 22:37) or the beatitudes preached by Christ in the greatest sermon the world has ever known (Matthew 6) When we study one of the greatest books ever written, a book that has one of the greatest distributions, Thomas Kempis' Imitation of Christ, we find these words, Speak, then, O Lord, for Thy servant heareth; for Thou hast the words of eternal life. Speak to me, that it may be some comfort to my soul, and the amendment of my whole life; and also to Thy praise, and glory, and everlasting honor.


GOD speaks to the understanding by the light of His Spirit, and to the heart by His holy inspirations. All that the Prophets deliver in the Word of God, all the truths which preachers announce to us, cannot enlighten the understanding, nor touch the heart, if God Himself speak not to us by the motions of His grace. We should, therefore, entreat the Lord to speak to our interior, while we exteriorly attend to or read Divine truths, for fear that hearing the word of God and not keeping it, knowing His doctrines and not following them, conscious of His will and not doing it, we should become more and more culpable in His sight.


SPEAK to me, O Lord, speak in such a manner to my soul that I may hear and obey Thee. Make known to me Thy designs for my salvation, and enable me to execute them. Teach me and all Christians, O Jesus, what Thou art to us, and what we ought to be to Thee. Instruct us in the sacred maxims of Thy Gospel, and induce us to practice them. For what will it avail us to believe Thy heavenly doctrines, if we endeavor not to follow them, and to live, as well as to believe, as becometh Christians? O eternal Word of the Father, by which He spoke, and all things were made, speak to my soul; say to it: "I am thy salvation." Work in me to will and to do, and consummate my salvation. Amen.

Shameful, shameful, that in the pulpits of America, pastors and pew-warmers do not know anymore about the honesty stipulated here than Corzine, his ilk, or the power-brokers if the world compromising justice just as the serpents, dishonesty to Eve.

The apostle Peter could not understand how those who had not walked with Christ, as had he, so easily believed in the redemption of Christ OR as on the day of Pentecost, the beginning of the church, without a Bible, without a knowledge of the prophets and promises, just from the testimony of Peter about the resurrection of the Savior, 3000 believed.

The plumb-line of our lives, this year, each year, honesty in our relationship in this world. What would you have if you did not have the Bible, the inspired, inerrant, omnipotent, omniscient word of God? Only 2 percent of the people in India are Christians. Most of the world is UN-Christian. America has been known as a Christian nation. People of a Christian nation do not ROB one another. Doctors do not take kickbacks from Big Pharma. Attorneys do not take “graft” from the mafia. Like lying lips seeking political office, God shows up in the most unexpected places. We must have the faith to believe He will straighten everything out.

Christmas Euphoria

I have a radio that reads the newspaper to me, a program of volunteers working out of a local station, I note that when the obituaries are read, almost half the deaths have cremations. Perhaps this is a sign of the times, the final expense of illness-death... funeral home's draining the last “nickels” from the family. When I was young, another world, professionalism in the funeral business just like every other type of business, even the poorest received respectable burial care... even a funeral at the church. Today, every time the body is moved, another charge. So, even the wealthiest families, just a one expense at the funeral home for visitation-service. I understand some funeral homes even charge for the public using the bathroom!

It was Christmas Day, my mother “owned” some poor relatives, a death in one home just before Christmas, I had gone there when the casket arrived at the house. I was just a child but I helped carry the casket into the house.

The room in which the casket was placed, did not have a stove for heat, just a fireplace, and it was cold. Christmas Day, one family member had a small child playing with toys in front of the fireplace. A member of the community, owner of a large store, had come to the home bringing food. He went into the room to pay his respects to the old man in the cheap casket, father-grandfather-great grandfather. I will never forget the look of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at me and the child playing in front of the fireplace, as if we are all stuck where we start.

With most stories, we always enter at mid-point. We do not know the sordid lives of the shepherds at that first Christmas, their sordid life, poverty, smell, their hatred of the world and the world’s hatred of them. (Shepherds were the lowest on the ladder, in fact they did not have a ladder, could not go to the temple, give testimony in court) but, even though the public did not believe them, they were the first missionaries, eager to spread the good news and, it is from such people as this that the gospel has been spread around the world. What if it had been left up to Kings, power-brokers, politicians?

This man bringing the food to this poor home, probably did not know that the man in the casket had buried four sons in one month during one flu epidemic, that he had held on to his land, borrowing a begging through the great depression, that he had raised his other children making sure they graduated from High School and now, in a cheap casket, resting in a cheap home, but a house that belonged to him, a person who had never received a government welfare check, his funeral would be held on Christmas Day in a cheap wood church which he had helped build.

It is from such homes as this that America was built, fathers who led his family to the church house, carrying his musket and his Bible.

Day after Christmas, 2011, a spoiled, decadent society. If the terrorists took down the electric grids, no electricity for anything, would there be internet withdrawal? If EMS could get to you, enmeshed in a network of emergency room, hospital connection, would anyone have the ability to care for you? Do you have a shovel to dig a slit-trench for the disposal of your family's human waste, or dig a grave for a decomposing family member? Government wants you totally dependent on government, does not want interference. There was a time when government wanted self-sufficient citizens, wanted to know about scams, illegal activity. The two attached letters from someone who reports scams and illegal activity tells you all you need to know about the future of this country. God has ingenious ways to humble people, politicians, bureaucrats, scam artists.

Some of my forefathers, and there is a record of this, before they landed and founded Morristown, NJ (1600) on the ship from England, seasick in the horrid-cold waters of the North Atlantic, were ridiculed by the British sailors, those “hymn-singing, praying, religious fanatics” but, one of the ship's sailors, the wost of the frenzied mockers, got deathly sick himself. The pilgrims around him prayed, but he died anyway. After his burial at sea, as had been so many of the pilgrims, there was a total change in the attitude of the ship's crew. The great message of Christmas is grace. If you have never sinned you cannot call Christ, Savior.

Panoply of Faith

In my world travels, so many long trips at Christmas, It was always interesting to see how people in other nations celebrated the greatest event in the history of the world, the birth of Jesus Christ. God, the Alpha and Omega, Creator of the world and everything in it, throwing the billions of stars into space, yet knowing every individual whose very essence came into HIS mind, even numbering the very hairs on your head, put on a tent of human flesh, born of a 13 year old Jewish virgin. She, the first Christian, showed motherhood to the world and HE, God, The Son, the Word, the Holy Spirit, dwelled on earth for 33 years giving mankind a perfect example.

One word which has always bothered me, X-Mas. I have spent my life as an antiquarian book collector, still, on this very day, two days before Christmas, 2011, selling “old” books online. The word X-Mas first appeared in print exactly 100 years ago, 1911. Some disparity but most believe intended to show the Christian cross and Mass. Unbelievers protest that it shows the mathematical X for the “unknown”. Those of us who know HIM at this season or any other season, who have been washed in HIS blood, born again, know the thrill of the baptismal pool, the communion table, know the historical Jesus, what this solitary life of THE God-man are anxious to use the word Christ. The mellow, milk-toast believers, apathetic pastors, use the word God in their conversations, so many hesitant about proclaiming Christ.

Writing paper was so scarce and expensive, many abbreviations were used, the writing very small, old books are thin, small, pages filled. Earliest books, before photography, diagrams. The first pictures were covered with a thin transparent sheath. Economizing, the pictures were all together, mid book. I have many old volumes covered in real leather, gold gilded edges. In assembling the pages of the book, if all four edges were gilded instead of three, you have a rare, valuable book. One of the most valuable books in every home was the “family Bible” It's mid section, between the old and new testaments the only family record that some families preserved. In collecting, just as the many military documents I have found, it is a shame that families do not prize old family bibles and records... even photographs. I have found wonderful photographs (photographs so expensive, some people never had but one their entire life) of adults, children, family homes. It would have been so easy to have written on the back of the photograph so future generations could identify. Instead, enmeshed with the “cares of the world, deceitfulness of riches, the lust of other things entering in” (Mark 4:19) We major on minors.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. Our challenge is to give the best version of ourselves today. Our ancestors, like most of our heroes, were flawed, Imperfect. It has taken a lifetime for me to realize that God knew how to work with imperfect people. Think of the “twelve” who God chose to follow HIM and yet, from the eclismic experience, changed men, from HIS resurrection, willing to fellowship in HIS suffering (Philippians 3:10) 2000 years later, the world has been dated by the birth of Christ, almost totally identified by the lives of Christ and HIS followers... Saints martyred because they knew HIM, “of whom the world was not worthy.” (Hebrews 11: 38) This writer is so afflicted and conflicted not just by atheists, but pretenders. The church is chosen, there is no middle ground yet, we must live in a bilateral world, left and right. The rowboat of America is oared from right and left. Bush 41 as well as 43, pretensions on the right, God, family, country yet, hypocrisy to the left. United Nations authority, social-popular-gay agenda, insanity of global warming. Perhaps it takes “political-correctness”, compromising with satanic-Marxist forces to get elected but, there has been an increase of 74% in Food Stamp recipients since 2004.

To those on the right or left, to the genuine-real, pretenders-fakers, the message for this day and every day: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (Ephesians 6:10-16)

Traditions come, even concerning Christmas, traditions go. Early Christians were baptized naked, this is why some had the deaconess. Even Catholics, not sprinkling, naked baptism of babies. Learn to stand, breastplate of righteousness, shield of faith and you can fight the fiery darts of Satin.

Only The Thirsty Will Drink

It is no secret, my blog, facebook pages, photographs from all over the world. God blessed me to experience things beyond my ability to explain but, this one thing I do know, as I traveled through the communist countries such as Russia and China, the Muslin countries, such as Pakistan, Tunisia, and Egypt. The human spirit God instilled in all of us is present in these nations too. Technology has changed the world but human nature has not changed. God was careful to instill the spirit of free will, individuality, in the heart and soul of Asians, Arabs, Easterners, as well as Westerners. There may have been a time that the uninformed could be kept in darkness… slaves obedient to slave masters... ignorant subservient to the intellectuals but with the proliferation of electric power, electronics such as the television and computer, the telephone and radio, even in the peasant villages of Africa or on the tenant farms of North Carolina, people able to read and write, and most of all, “yearn” for a better life. "How 'Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm? (After They've Seen Paree)

The thought occurred to me over and over as I experienced the treatment of my fellow human beings in the religious strongholds of Muslim countries or the atheistic “control-regime” of communist countries “when will they learn?”

It started with the Muslims in 1928, the Arab-brotherhood. Long shackled by Sharia Law, many could still see the systemic decadence which had pervaded Islamic rule and bureaucracy... tyranny. Protests started in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Somalia, Libya. The quasi religious-dictatorship in Iraq, Iran, and even the Kingdom of Morocco festers.

Likewise, in spite of Marxism's promises, the comradeship and equalities proffered in the controls of communism are being overthrown. It happened so quickly in Russia, is happening so quickly in Cuba, China, exposed to the capitalism of Hong Kong and tourism is ready to throw off the “Great Wall” of separation between the rulers and the proletariat. America's lying, state-controlled news media, like that of China, will say nothing but there have been thousands of protests in China-occupiers, in almost every village. Often, using metal-tipped bamboo spears, they attacked well armed soldiers.

The nose of the camel, the desire for freedom, will always get under the tent of mind control. You cannot cure sin with more sin, cannot repay debt with more debt.

Those who do not study history, must repeat it. Underlining problems always lead to revolutions. Government bureaucrats know how they got there jobs, know better than anyone else the truth, not only of nepotism, but of indolence. Law enforcement, who guard decadence, knows the truth of what is going on. The crooks in government may demand that they protect them, but are realistic to know that they may be one day out of favor. Allegiance and alliances change quickly when you recognize friends and relatives among the opposition, especially when you know you are protecting the wrong side. Over and over, in communist countries, guides and employees of the government told me, “I know I am on the wrong side, my sympathy and empathy are with the peasants.”

Those with a thirst for truth, those with a scintilla of honesty, in the healthcare fields, know that there is a medical fraternity-pharmacy conspiracy more interested in financial gain than patient care.

Shame, like concern, are lost words in most vocabularies. I have attempted to shame dieticians, nutritionists, for not having knowledge and using knowledge in the schoolhouse, the state-house. There is probably more starvation in America than in any nation in the world, not from a lack of “stuff” called food, but a lack of nutrition from a cell starved organism called the body. The cells of the animal body must have elements of nutrition. Without, the human body stays hungry, getting fat from “junk”. Along with the three “Rs”, there is no place better than the school to teach young people about the facts of nutrition and the dietician to demonstrate the knowledge by what is served in the lunchroom. There are many scientists-nutritionists, even rich doctors in the graveyard, who knew better and did not take care of their own bodys.

New age religionists believe there is no hell, sin, or evil. Entertainers in the pulpit such as Osteen, Hinn, Jakes “flirt” around the edges of real Christianity. The thirst for knowledge, hunger for truth, extends to their concern for daily living as well as eternal life. 75% of all diseases are caused by lifestyle problems. This should concern doctors in healthcare as well as doctors in spiritual care and, the satisfying of this thirst should be of concern to every fellow human being when thinking of another's “soul” welfare

Rubric

Rubric is a word seldom used, so very important, particularly, for those of us (obsessive-compulsive) about always showing the best version of ourselves, an authoritative and correct way of doing things. Why should just the Mafia be rubric in their activities?

This writer has learned in a long and eventful life, that you either are or you are not. I am a rubric victim, exacting, compulsive, routine in everything. Some men can fall into a vat of manure and come up smelling like a rose. For the rest of us, life is hard work, disciplined. From childhood, I gave the best version of myself, mentally and spiritually. There was no time for foolishness. More than once, I overheard some “ne'er-do-well” say, “who does he think he is?” I so remember Mr. Marriner, big wheel in the church, had everyone fooled, after I had spoken at a meeting, used those exact words. He thought a deacon was free from adultery, bootlegging, sport's addiction. His wife and children knew his hypocrisy, even if others excused it.

On his radio program, Michael Savage interviewed Donald Trump about his most recent book, Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again. Trump, one of America’s most influential and powerful men has written many books well worth“digesting”, he knows what he is talking about, money, real estate, politics. He is a prime example of what ONE man can do with ONE life.

I owned a Co-op apartment in Manhattan, a few blocks from the Trump Tower on 56^th Street. His tower is a New York City landmark. One day I had a friend walk me into this building, brass and glass, and describe the interior to me. He told me about the limousines pulling up to the doors leading to the elevators and the Trump penthouse. In his books, in interviews, he makes no secret of his ambitious, egotistical, disciplined life... the humble beginnings of his family, immigrants, the hard work of his father. Trump's income tax reports are in the book, he is not secretive about anything, net worth over $7 billion, low debt. Like other financial giants of this nation, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Mellon, he had a plan and knew how to work his plan. He has little patience with insolence and laziness. One does not get to the top by thinking small, laying around, complaining.

They gave great honor to their fathers. It should be noted that 85% of all prisoners come from fatherless homes, that America spends $100 billion per year to compensate for these fatherless homes.

Even in a corrupt system one can still succeed... just don't confuse success with celebrity. In this world of political-correctness where charisma and popularity will get a hip hop, rapper, or howling politician to the top. At a time when government grants largess, lying and stealing is more important to the scientist and academic than objective research, it is good to know that there is still room for diligence, honesty.

Books later, books written by real investigative reporters, Americans learned how they have been manipulated about many things... Japanese intrigue and entanglements in the skies of this country involving WWII, what really happened at Roswell,NM, Pearl Harbor, Waco, TX, Murrah building, the real truth about “911”. At a time when the world feeds from photography, when children carry cell phones which take photographs in their pocket. Who will ask the questions, why are there no photographs of the imposter in the White House... as a child, marriage ceremony, college? Why is there no photograph of a plane or aircraft parts at the Pentagon? Why is there no photograph of a dead Timothy McVeigh? Even the witnesses do not believe he was executed. Surely with deaths such as Bin Laden, where so much skepticism is involved, around the world, every cynical attitude must be nailed down with photographs.

Wikileaks has disclosed irrational diplomacy. We know that the game is fixed on Wall Street. We play “footsie” with dictators (Emperor Hirohito, the world's richest man, Stalin, Bin Laden) BUT, Why the criminality of global warming, Travel Security Administration (TSA), open borders?

Elderly citizens have little expense until their final illness. Elderly people need little food, have enough clothes and furniture. The house and car are usually paid for. Those over age 85 are the most rapid growing segment of the population. Why should young people, those “slammed” by every expense of getting started, be hammered and nailed, by the RUBRICS of excessive regulation and taxation?

Band-Aids On A Corpse

A famous advertiser says, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.” The Germans, before and after world wars I and II were the center of world intelligentsia, scientific discoveries, academicians who led in the writing of books, music and philosophy. Exceptional minds fell under the illusion of Nazi suicide. In the 230 years of American history, a dynamic education system... public-private, technical-collegiate. With all this intelligence, thinking, have we lost our minds?

`The American democratic republic is like building a new house then putting a match to it and burning it to the ground.

Homosexuality is the ultimate expression and evidence of Western decadence. Permeating the halls of learning, sexuality has taken over. Even more pathetic, students showing excellence in mastering disciplined subjects involving science, mathematics, are left to fend for themselves in the world of political-correctness, where the more popular, charismatic subjects are easier. Is there a reason that the human animal is the only animal who sees color? Other animals thrive in black and white and are more intent on survival. More despairing, exceptional students in subjects requiring brainpower are not recognized anymore than the “foreign” students from abroad are encouraged to stay in this country where America could utilize their exceptionalism.

America has become the world's debtor nation, occurring in the past 24 years. We have a certified national debt of $15 trillion, and in truth, it is probably many times that, debt that can never be repaid. In the illusion of prosperity promoted by a lying, state-controlled news media, citizens forget that one half the population supports the other half, social service-welfare, subsidizing of housing, food costs, education, the entitlement mentality has taken over. Americans have become cynical about everything because they know that the government lies about everything, that they have become enslaved to taxation, necessary to house, feed, retire in style, and give health care from the cradle to the grave. The incentive for study, hard-work, entrepreneurial spirit, grabbing at opportunity has been taken away by a culture and society of envy... one of the most contagious of our seven deadly sins. Why work, save, economize, depend on self, when the needy and greedy of the world are enjoying the best the table has to offer and magnanimously tossing you a few crumbs.

There are 2.2 billion “supposed” Christians in the world, more Christians than any other religion, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindus, etc. The Christian worships the Creator of the universe, the world and everything in it, totally sufficient for all our needs. We are the only ones who worship a God whose birth was prophesied hundreds of years before His birth, who put on a tent of human flesh and dwelled among us, showing us how to live in perfection among one another. Yet, from the very beginning, we have been stiff-necked rebels. IF, When the chosen race, the Jewish people, delivered from 400 years of cruel slavery, arrived at the Red Sea, and there had been a bridge, they would have insisted on crossing the bridge instead of, because of a miracle of God, parting the sea, allowing them to walk on dry land. From 1799 until 1892, even the Supreme Court declared America a Christian nation. Yet, the non-Christians, aided and enabled by the Christian church, has made Christian faith an object of ridicule, a target of hypocrisy, a goal for elimination, through lesbian-gay preachers, the insanity of same-sex marriage, a conquered military, bowing to don't ask, don't tell. Christians, built and financed the great universities, hospitals, children and aging homes, kept a damper on heathen practices of the world, the flesh, the devil. Today, the “tares” have taken over the church, just a country club with a steeple.

Whether occupiers or protestors, tyrants or presidents there is within the spirit of the human being, the human mind, an obsessiveness for truth, most have a conscious, most recognize good from evil, right from wrong. There is embedded in the minds of all men, even those not indued by the Holy Spirit of God. The realization and recognizing of love toward home and family. Even narcotic and other addictions will not defeat a soul, the ethos of the human spirit.

In the Catahare (Botswana, Africa), Wildebeest herds numbering thousands, I saw them stampede, frightened by a pride of Lions. My guide said to me, “Look in the bush, they run senseless, reckless, leaving behind the young babies dropped from the mother's womb, the sick and frail, unable to run.” On these, the Lions feasted.

The Wine Thing

It is not necessary to remind me. I know that at the Christmas Season of the year, one's thoughts should be filled with peace, poetry, and thoughts of plenty and prosperity.

Someone asked when was the most DIFFICULT time in my life? It has all been difficult, nothing easy... according to the measurements and standards of most people. The poverty of childhood, the expenditure of every challenge during eight years of university education, the animose of military service, early professional practice, disappointment of marriage, magnanimous of spirit in learning to live as a totally blind-disabled “chosen vessel” truly knowing complete dependence on God.

From childhood, radio was my best friend, helping me to escape the realities of one existence into that of another and, after eighty years, radio is still my best friend. I seldom turn on a television even though I can hear the sound if not see the picture.

I have a long list of programs, mostly educational, spiritual, from which satisfies my companionship. I know radio personalities better than I know members of my own family. and, as with some relatives, there are some I do no wish to know.. phonies-hypocrites. This weekend, I heard one of these electronic, overpaid, narcissistic, younger electronic preachers say, “In speaking of my blessed Lord, and his first miracle at Cana and, he said, “this was the “wine thing””

Of course, Christ's first miracle, turning water into wine could easily become a true Christmas story.

Mary, his mother, said to the attendants at the wedding feast, “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. ” (John 2:5)

The Catholics have it right in honoring Mary, the mother of Jesus. In the Nativity scene, one cannot mistake the Savior of the world, the Creator of the world and everything in it which God chose to have laying in the poverty of straw, in a feed trough. The world would have had God's only begotten son (John 3:16) born in a palace, clothed in embroidered silk.

Little tribute has been paid to Joseph, we hardly know where to place him in the Nativity scene, inspired by dreams from God, willing to be the world's greatest stepfather but, think of a the thirteen year old girl, Jewish, THE FIRST CHRISTIAN, the customs and foibles of Jewish Law, Emanuel, God is with us.

The birth of Jesus is serious business, the greatest event in the history of the world. Religionists, pretenders, above the hoopla of tinsel, gorging and giving, partying and praying.

Why could God not have had nicer people to do His work. Saul, selected as King, only because he was the tallest man in the country, total lack of character. David, adulterer and murderer, Moses, murderer. Many of today's profits, paid from the tithes and offerings of obsessed Christians, on the greens of the golf course instead of the bushes of the hinterlands, Real Christians, the most persecuted in all religions. (75 of every 100 killed because of their faith)

Think of it, Christmas time, the assassination of Kim Jong IL, the deaths of two atheists, Christopher Hitchens, Vaclav Havel. Our thoughts go to the Christians in N. Korea, concentration camps., Christian mothers who give birth to a child in a Christina church or concentration camp, guards or law enforcement stomping the baby to death. TIMING IS OF THE LORD... whether 2000 years ago, Herod, Romans, or Pagan Kim Jong IL. Babies are still the answer at this season and every season.

Mary knew not only the patter of small feet but the spitting, flogging, of her naked son in the filth of the Jerusalem streets, his piercing with her at the foot of the cross.

The Christian, Raison D'etre (reason for being), is to deny self, self-evaluation, daily, taking up our cross. (Hebrews 5:7)

Every day Christmas Day, :”To know HIM, the power of HIS resurrection, the fellowship of HIS suffering .(Philippians 3:10) God has always accomplished more through suffering than through pleasure.

On The Road To The Goolog

The Stepford Wives, a novel by Ira Levin and two subsequent movies, the last starring Nicole Kidman portrays comfortable city life where wives have become docile, almost robots, almost oblivious to the actual occurrences in the world.

And, so it is with a large segment of today's society, world financial depression, increasing crime, military conflicts all over the world, and yet most men tethered to a television set, themselves fat and lazy as they watch fit young millionaires throw balls around. Mothers, comfortable in their apathy, rearing young children who must face the insensitivity of the homosexual agenda, fight and flight enslavement of the new world order.

A family on vacation, the Titanic sinking as they seek to board the Lusitania, lifeboat, Integrity, a word that can change everything, above the water line.

This writer finds that at the state house or the church house, we are trying to con God, thinking that we have Him fooled. God does not need us, can send angels to do His work. The mystery, that He continues to put up with us, that we are not willing to trust Him, after centuries of having proven His prophesies, promises, threats, we refuse to believe that HE IS BOSS! The great barrier is always honesty, our guilt, attempting to walk down the middle of the road, wanting to hold onto God and truth with one hand, Satin and deceit with the other. So it is with the congress still, as for hundreds of years, prayer at the beginning of a session, asking divine intercession and then going into a cloak room, bathroom, or tax-supported lunchroom to lie, cheat, and steal. So it is with the church house, divine symbolism more or less attitudes of worship (prayer-scripture reading-hymns) then using the tactics of the world, verisimilitude of pretenders to encourage faithfulness and mercies of God.

Pavlov taught us with his dogs that even free-will, thinking human beings can be taught to accept anything. Your congressional representatives, today's congress, just 230 years ago, would have supported the British Crown and would have called our patriot forefathers, terrorists as our ancestors along with Mr. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, tried to establish on this continent a democratic republic... a Christian nation.

Today's “lazy boy”, “fair-weather” patriots want a religion and patriotism that does not require commitment. Everything about Hitler's Naziism, Stalin's Socialism, Mao's communism was legal. Passing the congress, the uniform code of military justice (Article 125) has been changed in it's relationship toward Sodomy and Bestiality. At a time when veteran's health benefits have been slashed, democrat politicians are increasing their wealth at the rate of 750% through tainted stock trading, trading that put poor Martha Stewart in jail. The congress knows how to protect ex-Senator, ex-Governor, John Corzine, who, beyond his knowledge, lost 102 billion investment dollars. Surely, however slowly, in spite of the state-controlled news media, hard-working, tax-paying, citizen-investors may learn what Bernie Madoff told us, “The game is fixed.”

The Middle East, North Africa, so many of the world's picturesque cities... places of remarkable and unusual architecture, being destroyed by war. It is so easy to destroy, so hard to build. It takes real work ethic-talent-incentive to build cities, roads and bridge structures. There is so much work involved in the parental development of a precious child. There have always been the fangs of the abortionists, the drones of the military, destroying young lives. God alone knows the flood of tears, the volcanoes of pain, suffered by the intended and unintended continued spasms of world warfare. Even worse, that thinking people, through their own indifference allows evil to triumph over good.

The human spirit loves beauty, painting, photography, or even poetry. There was a time when most girls loved music, wanted to play the piano. Now, it is difficult to have instrumental music at the church. There was a time when boys loved athletic competition. Now, most want to sit and kill with video games.

I have been a talker on talk radio for many years. One of my friends said, “Tom, I have heard you say, this hundreds of times, People don't care.” He said, “You are right, they don't care.” Several times, this writer, streets of Jerusalem, Via Dolorosa, dirty streets filled with shops of hawkers. (at the time of Christ, streets had no sewers) as our blessed, naked, Lord, drug His cross through those dirty streets, I feel very sure that many onlookers were unconcerned and did not care. Have things changed today, Jerusalem, or your town, in the streets by your church, or even in your church. Whether the church house, school house, state house, on the way to the Goolog, did we forget to care about what happened to our country?

Witchcraft

Christopher Hitchens, America's best known atheist, died last night at age 62. He died of cancer, still hating God with a British accent. Like TV's Carl Sagan, Cosmos, who said, “This life is all there is to it, there is nothing else.” Both know by now if they were right.

More famous than Hitchens or Sagan, England's Richard Dawkins, THE GOD DELUSION. Like all atheists, thinking the human mind is superior to the Creator of the universe.

Hatched in Hell, false religions of the world, new age religion, new pseudo science-philosophy “wanna-be”, accepted disciplines of psychology on a professional basis. Mired in the Godless pragmatic ilk of “everything goes”, nothing wrong with anything, no absolutes of good and evil, we find our world enmeshed in an addictive behavior. In my lifetime, Big Pharma has taken over the medical science community... researchers more interested in government grants, largess from corporations than in finding and establishing truth. Proven, scientists will produce the results which their financial benefactor wants, whether government or industry The same Big Pharma has taken over agriculture (Merck owns Monsanto), most produce items in the grocery store, and indeed most “so-called” food items are GMO produced. Can one even imagine buying seedless anything?, knowing full well that the scientific value of the fruit or vegetable is seed-embedded. One of my friends purchased seedless grapes, yet takes grape seed as a supplement.

It is absolute Witchcraft, how any person with two purkinje cells still functioning in the brain can study cell morphology-physiology, DNA science, even photosynthesis or the clotting of blood and still hide behind the enigma of atheism or non-belief in a Supreme Creator. Millard Cote, a Paris, France entrepreneur, whose mother owned a lingerie shop, hired a prostitute to wear a bikini on the beach, now, beaches all over the world are filled with bikini-clad females. The addiction to pornography, designer drugs, designer anti-social behavior, ALL GOT STARTED THE SAME WAY... evil is always popular. The huge advertisement expenditures of many corporations are not spent because they want to waste money but rather to sell, whether prescription drugs or “junk” foods.

Big Pharma has already announced that it wants every man, woman and child taking at least two prescription drugs per day. The carts in most grocery stores are full of junk... the packaging, in most cases, has more food value than the “supposed food” in the package, food filled with MSGs, GMOs, and synthetic chemicals which the body can never assimilate. The first matter of treatment in most diseases, detoxifying the body from the synthetics such as artificial sweeteners, which will slowly poison, slow suicide.

I still remember old doctors in the science and healthcare practice, such as Dr. W.C. George of the UNC Medical School. Stenhouse. Strosnider, Pearson, who treated diseases with food. They knew the value of berry bushes, fruit trees, the turnip patch, white and colored potatoes. They knew the value of chemical-free well water. They knew the value of apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic, ginger, cinnamon. The animal body starves for nutrition, nutrients from live plants, recently slaughtered meat.

The most basic, fundamental law of science is potential... the potential of every element to react with another and produce a product, often catalyzed by sunlight or heat. When will you have your epiphany, that God of the universe, Creator of life and everything good, does not want you destroyed through the wisdom of man?

The Witchcraft, antagonism toward life and living, starts soon after birth. Foreign substances, infant vaccinations, injected into the body before the body has a chance to establish it's own immune system. Now, Australia, parents are refused a tax deduction on their child unless the child has received the government-controlled vaccinations. God has given us the natural, innate, in-born skills for survival... starting with immunity from the breast milk of the mother then raw milk, God-given natural nutrition through natural, not processed, plants and animals. Has it ever occurred to you that the Witchcraft of scientific knowledge has filled at an ever increasing rate, hospitals, asylums, prisons, and graveyards. In my lifetime, onslaught of soft drinks, (God help us, Diet drinks) artificial sweeteners in candy and cookies, adulterated meats, dead fruits and vegetables added to starving bodies from lack of nutrition, satanic chemicals in addictive, prescription and non-prescription drugs, enticing-afflicting designer drugs along with the Witchcraft of mind control.

In 1785, Joesph Haydn produced the oratorio, The Seven Last Words of Christ since, around the world, cathedrals or small church houses, bishops or country preachers, we all know that He forgave us because, “We do not know what we are doing.”
