First, let me say–I really like my landlord.  He is a very nice guy.

That being said, he does this thing where the heat goes off on April 15.  It is very cold and gray today 50 degrees with off and on rain.  I know we need the rain–not griping about that–but heat?  Does it have anything to do with Tax day?  I’m  wearing a T-shirt, plus a sweatshirt, plus Lee’s hoodie (which is down to my knees) inside the house and my hands and feet and the tip of my nose are cold.  It will be OK when I go to bed thanks to my down comforter, but jeez, I am freezing my buns off.

Did not do much of anything today but surf the net.  I saw a story today about a group of medical people pulling a fraud, getting money for hospice facilities and patients who did not exist.  They were raking in money.  How very low can you get?  Really–hospice–just awful.  I can’t bring myself to even cover stories that bad.

Our nature, without God, without Jesus, is absolutely awful.

Sometimes, I don’t know what He sees in us.

It will be a very early night for me tonight.  At least I’ll be warm when I’m sleeping.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Maybe it’s different where you live, but around here, we never see children playing outside. Never. Children of any age. No stickball, no softball, no basketball. No building castles in the sandbox. No play of any kind.

The only time you see them playing–if “playing” is the right word for it–is when they have full uniforms, sponsors, adult coaches, a scoreboard, and a mob of parents watching. If I had to trade my childhood for this, I’d hang myself.

The rest of the time, you don’t see them at all. Have they been packed off to summer school? Day camp or daycare? Or are they just confined to the house, either by their parents or by themselves, playing video games all day?

This state of affairs is unnatural, not to mention weird and creepy, and no good will come of it.

Meanwhile, I think I have found something that sheds light.

On my box of breakfast cereal, there’s a little mask that can be cut out and worn by a child. It comes with instructions. Get a load of this.

Step 1: With close adult supervision, cut along the dotted line…

What? “Close adult supervision”? To cut out a little piece of cardboard? How close?

Do you ever wonder if people are forgetting how to be human beings?

I sure do.

Rick Warren‘s son has committed suicide. Most people would consider that a tragedy. But not the American Left. For them it’s an opportunity.

That is, an opportunity to spew hatred at a man who never did them any harm, purely because of his publicly expressed Christian beliefs and his failure to leap joyfully aboard the Organized Sodomy bandwagon. These low-lifes swarmed onto the social media, hiding behind its anonymity, to attack Warren and his family, to try to cause them additional pain. Most of these creatures seem to be both atheists and sodomites–a natural combination.

Gee, this is exactly the way they behaved when Michael Crichton died. His offense was to declare Global Warming a hoax–that is, he told the truth about it. And so the slime began to flow, as it’s flowing now.

This is the crowd who says they’re all for Diversity and Tolerance and Personal Freedom, yatta-yatta. Liberals hate liberty. Diversity-mongers will cut your heart out if they think your opinion diverges from theirs. And tolerance-sharks will not tolerate anyone who declines to be dictated to by them.

Monsters, all of them…

The leaders of the “conservative” movement are dropping like flies, all of them going over to the enemy. Some do it because they’re evil, and some because they’re fools. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Last week the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, beautifully demonstrated how one can be immoral and stupid at the same time when he told a USA Today reporter that the GOP ought to surrender to the homosexual mockmarriage movement because “I don’t believe we need to act like Old Testament heretics…”

What is this stunata talking about? Does he think it makes you a heretic to remain faithful to the Biblical teaching on marriage and sexual morality? But that would be the opposite of being a heretic, wouldn’t it? Maybe Reince doesn’t know what the word means. Or maybe he thinks the Word of God as given in the Old Testament is itself heretical. The man’s ignorance is truly monumental.

And then there’s Bill O’Reilly, a phony who occasionally impersonates a Catholic, a jive “conservative” who doesn’t want to conserve anything of value. The other night he grumbled that those who defend marriage, morality, and goodness are only “thumping the Bible.”

Has it come to this? Have we sunk so low, that we are now wrong or backward, somehow, if we appeal to God as the highest authority? Would O’Reilly be more impressed if we cited Darwin, or Brad Pitt, or rap lyrics? I don’t even want to know what his highest authority would be.

For my part I will continue to thump the Bible for all I’m worth.

Resist these uncircumcised Philistines. Resist them to the end.

God will prevail. They won’t.
