Getting back to Your Favorite Hymns, this is In His Time, by Maranatha! Latin. I can’t resist all those butterflies. God’s handiwork should indeed inspire us to grateful prayer.
Cats & Dogs… with Turtles
My box turtles used to annoy out family dog, Rags, by helping themselves to his dog food. What could he do? They completely ignored his most strenuous objections. In truth, there’s very little that a dog or a cat can do to a box turtle. The turtle holds all the cards.
Going by my experience with turtles, in most of these videos, the turtles have unfriendly intentions and the cats and dogs know it. But there is one apparent meeting of the minds that might have blossomed into friendship…
Progress Report: ‘Behold!’
I’ve just finished writing another chapter set of Behold!, Book No. 14 of my Bell Mountain series. Meanwhile, No. 12, His Mercy Endureth Forever, is kind of clunking along and No. 13, The Wind from Heaven, is being edited and needs cover art.
I’ll have to get this chapter set typed up and sent to Susan for editing, and then write fast to get it done before the weather gets too cold. This is hard because I don’t yet know how the story is going to turn out. The Lord hasn’t yet given me that.
There are readers who say “Enough already, put Bell Mountain to bed.” Others say, “Oh, no–keep going!” But it’s not entirely up to me. I can only write what the Lord gives me. And at this point I’ve been writing these books long enough not to know what I’d do without them. I admit it: I would miss them. A lot.
And I hope some of you would, too.
Holy Cow! We Don’t Trust the Nooze Media???
Say it ain’t so, Joe!
I’m afraid it is, kid.
In a new Gallup poll, 33% have no trust at all in the nooze media and another 27% have “not very much trust” (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/just-9-trust-media-a-great-deal-33-none-at-all-highest-ever). Yowch. That’s 60%.
Only 9%–good grief, where did they come from?–trust the media “a great deal.” And 73% of Democrats expressed trust in the noozies. What does that tell us?
What we’re talking about here is a product that 60% of the public says is just no good, it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do, it stinks. How long do you suppose a car company would stay in business with numbers like that?
The noozies are paying the price for siding 100% with the Democrats and against America. We know they despise us. We are learning to despise them.
Packing the Court to Bursting
853 Supreme Court justices on their way home after another grueling day of not being able to finish their work
Democrats have made no secret of their desire to pack the Supreme Court once they’re back in power, adding as many Far Left Crazy “judges” as they need to create an ironclad leftist majority. All they need is to keep control of the House of Representatives and get one of their commie stooges in as president.
Given that it’s virtually impossible to remove a Supreme Court justice, what could Republicans do but pack the court again, once they got back in power? And then when the Dems get back in, pack it again, and so on. Next thing you know, we’ve got 853 Supreme Court justices.
We take it for granted that Democrats have absolutely no care for our republican institutions and would discard them or destroy them or corrupt them at the drop of a hat. They’ve grown accustomed to using the Supreme Court to ram through major policy changes that didn’t have enough public support to get done through legislation–abortion, Obamacare, “gay marriage,” etc. That was how they were able to experiment with our way of life without being held accountable for it at the polls. That is, the court was what they used to screw with America.
Packing the court must lead to stuffing the court, which must lead to just plain ruining the court by destroying any credibility it ever had. The Constitution sets no limit on the number of Supreme Court justices: our founders overestimated the common sense and sanity of their descendants.
It’s nerve-racking to live in a time when one of your two major political parties wants to trash the country.
The Jerry Nadler Doll
The Fundamental Transformation Toy Co. has come out with a brand-new doll that’s sure to be a hit with the kiddies!
Inspired by Rep. Jerry Nadler’s unconventional way of going about “saving our democracy,” the doll has been named “Oopsie Poopsie”. Fundamental Transformation’s CEO, Alvin Khrushchev, says: “You remember the classic doll, Betsy Wetsy–you put water in one end and it came out the other. Well, Oopsie Poopsie’s pretty much the same, only with chocolate syrup instead of water. But unlike Betsy Wetsy, Oopsie Poopsie helps preserve our democracy! And the super-deluxe version even sidles awkwardly away from you–just like Mr. Nadler took off for the rest room.”
Several Democrat governors have already issued individual mandates requiring the purchase of an Oopsie Poopsie doll.
‘Big Brother Is Listening… and He’s an Idiot’ (2017)
That nice man on the television told Alexa to buy this for us!
Do you like being spied on by robots–your every move, your every word, reported to–well, you don’t know that, do you?
Okay, so “Alexa” is a mindless machine and does things without thinking about them because that’s what it’s been programmed to do. And isn’t that funny, tee-hee, you just got this expensive doll house that you never ordered!
But the purpose of these “smart” devices, the bottom line, is to spy on you and collect information for someone who wants either your money or your life. I make a point of not having them in my home.
Then again, they’ll know where to find me when they want to break some eggs for their socialist omelet.
By Request, ‘When the Man Comes Around’
Joyce mentioned this yesterday, When the Man Comes Around, by Johnny Cash. I thought I’d heard it before–but was I wrong! This worship song bowled me over. Made Revelation come to life.
Our list of Your Favorite Hymns has begun to grow again, but let’s keep loading up the wagon.
Who’s That Bad Kitten in the Mirror?
A few of these little characters have appeared in other compilations, but their antics will still make you smile.
My cats are mature and don’t even notice mirrors. I’ve had lizards that got more excited than they do.
Genuine False Fact: Archimedes invented a mirror that his cats stole and threw off a cliff.
My Incipient Panic Attack
I’m trying everything I know to get this blog back to where it was during the first half of this topsy-turvy year–you wouldn’t believe how hard I’m trying–but now I have to stop and write a Newswithviews column, and earlier I had to stop writing my book because it began to rain on me. Anyone who thinks this is easy, well, step right up and try it for yourself.
Excuse me–just had to lug a couple of these 5-gallon jugs, bad knee and all, upstairs to the water cooler. Somehow managed it.
I do these things because I have to, it’s my job, and I hope it will be fruitful in God’s service. So let me get started with this column–whatever it turns out to be.
