Have I Just Been Given a Sign?

I was sitting outside this afternoon, writing my Newswithviews column for the week–a column about my new book, His Mercy Endureth Forever, and my Bell Mountain series in general.

I was just finishing the work when I chanced to look up: and what did I see?

A beautiful, graceful, full-grown deer trotting across the yard, only 30 or 40 feet away from my chair. She vanished around the corner of the house next door, and when I walked over to see where she was headed, I saw no sign of her. I don’t know where she went.

I took it as a sign that God was nigh, and He wanted me to know that: for which I give Him thanks.

 

What’s in the Box?

Two more pet food companies sever ties with Chewy.com - South ...

As I was trying to get myself back on schedule today, I chanced to look out the window just in time to see a delivery man coming with… another box from Chewy.

I had to bring it in and unpack it. Oof! Too heavy to pick up. Too big and awkward. What’s in it–a dead body? Great start to a mystery novel, The Cat-Food Killings. With Hercule Poirot going totally mad from all the cat hair on his clothes.

Open the box to find out what’s in it! (Just like Obamacare!) Hot dog, another half a dozen big bags of cat litter. I’m sure we have enough to fill our bathtub now. Plus a few cartons of canned food and three sleeves of Fancy Feast. Now all I have to do is find places to put them.

How many cats do they think we have? Really, there are only two.

And now it’s after 1:00. Get to work, you!

How About This for a ‘Cause of Death’?

As long as we’re getting into the business of politicizing death certificates by listing COVID-19 as the cause of just about every death, sometimes filled in on the certificate before the patient even dies, how about this?

“Cause of Death: Chinese Communism”

What? Not true, you say? Well, it wasn’t the Lincoln, Nebraska, Republic Club that unleashed the Chinese Communist Wuhan Death Virus From China on the world. And then covered it up until it got totally out of control.

“Cause of Death: Corrupt and Useless Institutions of World Government”

That takes care of the role of the World Health Organization in aiding and abetting Red China’s unsuccessful cover-up.

But the Bible has already said it, with God’s holy wisdom, personified, speaking: “[A]ll they that hate me love death” (Proverbs 8:36).

The Latest Phony ‘Cause of Death’

Climate Change Disasters And Your Municipal Bonds

Nobody likes to see his pet apocalypse shoved out of the limelight by someone else’s pet apocalypse. COVID-19 has upstaged the Climate Change doomsayers, and now they want back in.

Inspired by the recent practice of corrupting death certificates by listing the Chinese Wuhan Death Virus as the official cause of death for almost every death, Climate Change wackos now want “climate change” listed as the cause of death on death certificates (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/27/activists-call-for-climate-change-to-be-listed-as-/). In addition to panicking the public into thinking powerful elites should “Do Something About Climate Change,” the purpose of doing this with the death certificates is explained: “death data must be coupled with large-scale environmental datasets so that impact assessments can be done.”

And they’ll want to know where to put the camps for climate change deniers.

How many apocalypses can center state accommodate?

But they all have one thing in common. They are all for the purpose of giving left-wing loons power over other people’s lives.

‘Did We See a Pterodactyl?’ (2017)

If you have a habit of watching the sky from time to time, you’ll eventually see something that you can’t explain. As we once did.

Did We See a Pterodactyl?

Wait a minute! Holmdel, New Jersey? Oh, come on!

All right, all right, maybe it was just the Jersey Devil…

 

‘O Worship the King’

Robert Grant wrote this hymn, inspired by Psalm 104, in 1833. It was the first hymn I learned to play on my harmonica.

O Worship the King, sung the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
