One man newspaper

The only thing white liberals fear more than a black man with a gun is a black man with an opinion of his own.

Another epic quote.

@donsurber makes me laugh, inspires, informs. A one man newspaper. https://t.co/Veim4qFkyc

An exciting day!

Exciting day. Mary got a diaper rash so I decided to let her air out with no clothes but I couldn't close the living room blinds. Fortunately they sent out an emergency repair crew stat. They're really good to us. Rachel brought a half jar of Desitin and helped me catch up. Mary's comfortable now and relaxing. Brand New blinds, clean clothes and sheets and caught up on laundry. It was exciting!

Fox News Won't Say His Name

If #FoxNews won't say his name, does this make #DonaldTrump Lord Voldemort and Fox News #HarryPotter Ministry of Magic?

Blood pressure

Today my blood pressure is 100/56. My daughter Wendy asked if that was a little low.

I replied Only if I jump out of bed too quickly. Rachel, my 6 ft helper, (I'm 6'5) has the same problem. It afflicts tall people. It's called...

(wait for it)... The Giraffe Syndrome.

I'm just happy I can safely have a cup or cup and a half of coffee a day.

Don Surber, my favorite source of news

Quote from @donsurber
Dante said the devil would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven.
That would make him a Democrat.

I am a news junkie since I was old enough to read a newspaper. My addiction deepened when I had a job delivering papers in the Aetna neighborhood of Gary Indiana. There were 3 papers, the Gary paper, the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun Times. My weakness was reading the paper before folding them up to be able to throw them onto the porch.

In Emerson High School Mr. Chris (not Kris Kristofferson) Christopherson was our very engaging history teacher. I sat in the back next to a large filing cabinet filled with at least 5 years worth of news magazines, Times, US News and World Report, and Newsweek. When I wasn't engrossed in the lecture, I was reading every issue of all those magazines.

When I went to college Time magazine offered college students special prices. Even though I didn't have enough money to buy pizza on Friday night I subscribed, and kept my subscription going after I entered the ministry.

Whenever I went to the library I devoured the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. Whenever the Wall Street Journal was for sale where I shopped and I had some change, I'd buy an issue and also an issue of The New York Times.

When Mary and I were married in 2010 (both our first spouses died of cancer), and digital subscriptions became popular, I subscribed to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.

Then Trump ran for President. The degree of distortion frustrated me, and I no longer trusted my previous sources. I cancelled them all. When Mary and I moved back to Indiana, I cancelled our cable. I am even disappointed in Fox News, because now they treat Trump like Lord Voldemort, He Who Must Not Be Named.

Hence my latching onto Don Surber, a life long political reporter who sees clearly and has a dangerous sense of humor. Along with the Epoch Times and Breitbart, and now Truth Social, I can almost be satisfied with my news sources.

Thank you, Don, for your hard work, your deep research, your snese of humor, and your clarity of mind. #maddog

Mansplaining

Mansplaining. We automatically assume we are talking-to a rookie or child and lump all women in the same category. That's because men can't easily tell the difference between feminine child-likeness that can relate to children and male childishness, like Peter Pan who grows up later than females, in some cases never. Built-in conflict between men and women which can only be bridged by mutual respect and God's miraculous GRACE. See how I snuck in a mini sermon?

Just As I Am

 Just As I Am - Part One

Just As I Am - Part Two

My apologies for recording this in 2 parts. I had a terrible coughing fit, and had to stop and take a cough drop. If I would have remembered to take the cough drop first I could have recorded it in one take. Live and learn.

Beautiful Scripture in Samuel

A note to my new friend Iajaz:
You have selected a beautiful scripture in Samuel, which reflects the desires of your heart. May God's grace rain down on you and yours and the great nation of Pakistan like a monsoon and flow out of your heart like a mighty river until the knowledge of the Lord covers our Earth like an ocean in Jesus' name.
For thou art my Lamp, O Jehovah; And Jehovah will Lighten my Darkness. (from 2 Samuel)

Sad day for #DoctorWho fans. Benard Cribbins, (Donna's dad) has died.

The Love of God

May God's infinite grace rain down on you and yours like a monsoon in Jesus' name until the knowledge of the Lord covers the earth like an ocean. #maddog

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.

Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.

When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song.

Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

 

 

A note to Elon Musk

We are children of an Infinite God. We, of course, don't have infinite knowledge, but we have the next best thing... infinite curiosity. Dangerous, of course, but far less dangerous than deliberate ignorance. #maddog

Since we are exploring the Creator's beautiful but also dangerous universe, it would be entirely appropriate to thank Him quietly for His creation, and ask Him for His guidance.

To humbly admit we need His help opens us up to grace, for God gives grace to the humble, but He resists the proud.

Even with His nudging guidance, we will still make mistakes. I once asked God for sufficient foresight to avoid humiliating mistakes. I honestly thought I heard a heavenly chuckle. It seems like that's not part of His program. 

He Could Have Called Ten Thousand Angels

 

I've recorded this also on YouTube, then posted this on my blog, which has an international reach, including Russia. Sowing seed. I'd love to be able to send these videos to China. Maybe the Lord will open a door for me.
