I guess that I can talk/ write about anything I want-- although I consider this a 'Christian Based Blog.' I try to tie things together to show that God's Way is the Right way, and the Bible ought to be our blue print, TM [Technical Manual--G.I.] or hand book of LIFE. In my own life, when ever I have disregarded or deviated from the Bible-- something bad happens to me. When ever I depend on my own strengths or knowledge too much-- I slip and fall because of my silly pride!
It's true that many people step on and cheat others to get rich and comfortable, powerful and controlling. On the other hand, I knew a Christian multimillionaire who invited me into his grand home and made some pizzas for me and a few others!
When I was a young boy in school, I day dreamed and wished that I could someday get rich by hard, smart work, and indeed, I retired from Chrysler after 30.5 years at age 54, with full benefits and pension, but not very rich... LOL. After a life of hard and dangerous work-- many times a person is injured and disabled, like me. That is NOT what I intended, but at least I can pay my bills and help a few others in different ways.
I enjoy younger people coming over to help me do some heavy chores, like my nephew Steve S, who visited us today and helped us. I enjoy listening to him talk about his work, his wife trains and shows horses, gives lessons, etc., and Steve is a hard worker with concrete, welding, etc. He picked our humble garden again today so we have a bunch of tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers again on the kitchen table. So after he is done we sit and chat with a cold drink, and he listens to my old Army times/ stories, and other experiences-- but I also get a chance to talk to him about God and the Bible. It's the same with my own grown kids [in their 30's], and then I can slip them some gas money and gifts to take home, and perhaps take them out to eat. God has certainly blessed in so many ways, even if my two knees are shot and busted. I can't wait for new bionic knees!
The point I wanted to touch on is that 'foolishness is tied up to the heart of a boy-- but the rod of discipline will remove it far from him.' ~Proverbs. If we didn't get proper BIBLICAL training at home when we were young... the 2nd best thing [perhaps] is to have a "Dutch uncle." That is a relative, like me, who makes himself available to mentor with kindness and respect, to someone younger whom he thinks has distinct possibilities in the future as a productive member of society--- and heaven.... if the uncle teaches the nephew or friend the wisdom of the Bible, IMHO. I have always wanted to mentor older teens or young people who at least have a good, hard, work ethic. I know that some rich kids get all the breaks in life with all the extra lessons and training from tutors, instructors, music and paid for education.... In my own life from time to time, a few good people stepped in to mentor me and change my wrong headed ways into a more wise, productive, balanced, reasonable, lifestyle. PTL! I have always wondered if the Lord didn't send those 'angels' into my life, and on the RIGHT path to serve God and correct my life. The alternative is hell.
Truth be Told: Galatians 6:7, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: For whatsoever a man soweth, that so he also reap." KJV. And of course the 'Fruits of the Spirit as listed at Gal. 5:22, and Socialism and the "One World Gov't" of Mr. Obama doesn't fit well with Christianity. Webster's says that a Christian is a follower or imitator of Christ. Would Christ sanction ABORTION, the GAY AGENDA, STEALING/ MISAPPROPRIATING TAXES, LYING?? Let the elected high offices and administration's record speak for themselves. For any biblical Christian -- this stuff is so elementary and SIMPLE to understand. Christian children in grade school understand these things! I think that many Americans WANT to be led astray for their 'free lunch', and choose to remain ignorant! Those Lemmings are doomed. Bank on the fact that the ignorant ones getting the 'free lunches' and entitlements--- laughter and celebrating will be short lived after the Lord Raptures up His Believers. I can't miss that train. Bye guys. Time for a great, restful sleep, and then fellowship at church with all my friends on a sunny Sunday. I might cook out after that if it isn't too hot.

President Obama a Devout Christian?
Posted: 21 Aug 2010 10:50 AM PDT
By Dave Welch. US Pastor Council The Miami Herald reports that "Pastors who pray with Obama say he's a devout Christian."What?In feeble attempts to defend President Obama's support for the building of an Islamic mosque near Ground Zero, his team is now pulling out the "He is a devout Christian" card. The article quotes two pastors in particular: "He is a Christian by choice, a devout Christian,"

Tom, I think the Obama is a Christian story ties in well with my blog post. Not to give myself a plug LOL. But really. So many people in the media who slammed GW for his Christianity and faith based programs are scrambling all over themselves to set out to prove Obama is a Christian.
A few things strike me about Obama's so called Christianity.
Real Christians do not talk about "some obscure verses" in the Book of Romans to show that people shouldn't quote the Bible on hot topics.
Real Christians do not believe there are many paths to heaven, and they do believe there is a real hell.
Real Christians when asked who Jesus is to them, do NOT SAY, "He was a good man. They DO say, HE is my SAVIOR!!
A real Christian does not denegrate other Christians by saying "They cling to their Bibles." A true Christian would know how important the Bible is for daily teaching and wisdom through the HOLY SPIRIT.
A true Christian does NOT believe in "collective salvation", as true Christians KNOW we are SAVED by the redeeming BLOOD OF CHRIST.
A true Christian would not describe his or her Christian walk as "wearing my religion on my sleeve" as being a Christian is not being a religious person- it is a life changing way of being a follower of Christ.
A true Christian would not believe the bigotted rants of Black Liberation theology- because true Christians know that God sees the hearts of men, and do not look at outward appearances.
I'm sure there are more- but that's the basics.
God will Judge accordingly, but true Christians do and can judge those who profess to be Christians by the fruits of the Spirit. Now, I am not always bearing the best crop- but God knows my heart, and it is on Jesus!
Last one. True Christians are KNOWN to others as being a Christian (ie: Bible thumper, bigot and christian taliban etc,) A True Christian would never have people guessing "what religion are you?" Which makes this whole thing kind of sad- as people do not know, and it should not be up to others to "prove" someone is a Christian.
God Bless you Tom! Hope you and Sharon have a Blessed Sunday!

Tom, I guess we were on the same page as I posted on this subject as well.
God Bless and take care.
THANK YOU, DEAR CAROLYN!!
To be very simple about it, we only need to say that NO real Christian even with half a brain would condone or support ABORTION or HOMOSEXUALITY....Duh!!
