Public Prayer Political

We don't know how this turns out, but it is interesting that our government can't really manage to get along and run the government, but they have found a way around another part of the First Amendment.  Our representatives are tirelessly diligent in their pursuit of removing amendments by a backdoor approach.  Congress won't make this law, the Supreme Court will render a decision.

Fear and Anger are Affecting More Americans

We need to realize, as Americans, our fear and anger level is reaching a drastic and dangerous level.  Some of the posts I see on FB and other social media truly would feed the idea that some ideology is extreme, and I am not talking Sharia Islam.  Messiah said to love our enemies and pray for those who despitefully use us.  Paul reminded us that vengeance is not ours and we should not let the sun go down on our wrath . . .
And the beloved apostle John reminds us in his letters, that perfect love casts out fear.

Those who are claiming to believe the Bible, especially those who claim Torah Observance . . . we gotta stop sounding so angry and fearful!  We gotta stop BEING so angry and fearful!

Someone is Manned the Website.

The White House website had a comment about the shut down, yet this blog is maintained.  It seems the only thing that cannot be maintained and managed is the stuff, that before the shut down, required no management.   So, is this transparency or "in your face"?

Interestingly, a political barb appeared on the White House site, almost immediately, when Congress stayed true to form and did nothing . . .

Due to Congress’s failure to pass legislation to fund the government, the information on this web site may not be up to date. Some submissions may not be processed, and we may not be able to respond to your inquiries.

Information about government operating status and resumption of normal operations is available atUSA.GOV.

I'm leaving these links as they appear in the browser.  Obviously by this blog date, the website was being maintained, so the message on the first page simply indicates a lack of leadership, but exemplary skills in the blame game.

I went ahead and listed just a few more here, as they seem to be very good PR blogs, while the slam on Congress looms near the top of the page.

Something I've Questioned

Since I haven't read the entire Health Care Reform Bill, and the former Speaker of the House has indicated Congress hasn't either, a question keeps occurring to me.

Suppose Congress does defund the Health Care Reform Bill . . . That doesn't rescind the insurance mandate.  It just means there will be no subsidies.

Now, I don't know if it will be defunded, but from what I have read, even if the funding is not approved, the law for mandated health insurance will remain in tact and become effective whenever The Powers That Be determine "we the people" must comply.

Are we sure a defunding the bill or even a government shut down will postpone this inevitable Mandate of Control?

I've included a link to one article I've found that is also raising the same concern.

Most Americans . . .

Recent studies show, most Americans choose their news source according to their political leanings.  So, the mainstream media can service everyone as long as extreme of both "wings" is provided . . . and it is!  True information and factual data are secondary to political loyalty.

The Goshen Gazette is working to bring you actual, factual information as another option!

If a Doctor Recommends It . . .

I'm always amazed at how many people will defend their right to choose to eat in disobedience to the Instructions of our Creator, until a doctor tells them to quit eating bacon, or they have an allergy to shell fish.  Pigs do not sweat and they are highly toxic, they were created the way they were for a reason, but the reason is not for human consumption consumption.  Shellfish and scaleless fish are the bottom feeders.  Shrimp are the cock roaches of the sea.  Do you know what the "vein" really is in the shrimp?

The Average Person

Recent studies show, the average person believes themselves to be above average!

As a matter of fact, this pollster has yet to meet anyone who describes themselves as "average" or below . . .
