I never got into the game Monopoly as a child. Perhaps if I had, it would have given me a taste for becoming heavily innvolved in the world of business and investment. It must give one a heady feeling to be able to buy and sell banks, real estate, car companies, and so forth- or to become a politician and really do this on a grand scale.

But Barack Hussein Obama is having a go at it in a most extraordinary way, and "Monopoly" is the perfect word to describe his game. He can even print as much money as he wants to do what he wants. As if he didn't already have enough favorable press to advertise and laud his massive "achievements", he now apparantly has his own in-(White)house television infomercial at his beck and call, courtesy of ABC.

How exhilerating it must have been for the President to declare the month of June National Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Transgender month. The portion of our population that represents these perversions is estimated at only about 3%. That is a mighty strong endorsement for a tiny segment of society that is the highest contributer to our AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Disease epidemics, and he even complimented these folks for their efforts to "combat" AIDS, whatever that means.

Now we are well on our way to having an energy bill that will further choke industry in the United States, decimate the coal industry, and, as usual, ignore the proven advantages of developing Nuclear energy, in favor of windmills.

Yes, there will be a windmill near every garage housing a car so light and fuel efficient it will hve to be kept indoors, or tethered to keep it from being blown away. But wait! PETA will never permit those windmills! Birds will fly into them and be killed! Well, if taxes are raised high enough, those of us fortunate enough to be still working will take care of that problem-and more. Oh yes- everything is possible with Monopoly- even Universal Free Health Care.

I just read a letter from Senator Casey. Boy is he hyped! He says he and Barak have been so busy making speeches, and passing and signing bill after bill making "progress." He doesn't say what the progress is. Maybe he means higher unemployment- or is it better speeches, and thicker bills to guarantee that nobody can possibly read them the day they come to the floor of the House for a vote.

Forgive me folks,for the cynicism. But seriously now, we are in deep trouble in this country. If you are not already writing letters to polititians, and newspapers, and contributing to organizations like the Heritage Foundation, please do at least one of these things. The fact you are reading this blog tells me that you can find your way around the Internet. Listen to Hannnity and Glen Beck. Get informed. Help save our Nation and generations to come from this madness.


Very Sincerely,

Our Postmoral,Premillenial Era

I had a great-grandmother who emigrated to America from Germany at the age of 16. I lived with her and my grandparents one summer after my Dad was drafted into the army near the end of World War II. I have fond memories of her reading me Bible stories, and hearing her German coloquial sayings, such as, "allisis fercherten en der velt." (spelling uncertain)which meant,"everything is upside-down in the world." Truly it must have pained her that her Fatherland and her adopted country were locked in mortal combat, especially since she had known her country to be a "Christian" country, much as we liked to categorize the USA.


If Nana were living today, I don't know what her german words would be for the changes that have taken place in the world in terms of the devaluation of life, sexual "liberation",sexual perversions and all of the efforts of educators and governments to
dignify, legalize and protect them, contrary to nature and the laws of God. Just reading the new website of the Presidant of the United States as to the intentions of this administration makes my hair stand on end.

We now seem to be entering an era not unlike the one first century Christians experienced- except for our harnessing of cyberspace to enable us to learn everything about everything, good and bad. The question posed by Christian philosopher/theologian Francis Schaeffer,"How shall we then live?" is more appropriate than ever.

Those of us who love God, having experienced the Grace of redemption
have no less resources to "shine as lights" in such a world as the early Christians had. (Philippians 2:15) Indeed, the Apostle Paul was writing about this from a Roman Prison,where clues in his writings indicate that he effectively evangelized his rotation of guards. Take note of Philippians 4:22 where he passes on the greetings of the "saints"-"chiefly they that are of Ceasar's household."

Some of us recall the era of the 70's and early 80's when we thought that Bible believers had the "Moral Majority." I don't think Jerry Falwell thought we were about to bring on the Millenium,
but hopes seemed high that the nation's moral slide could be significantly slowed. If indeed it did, the downward slide has since picked up a lot of momentum, now greatly aided by governance that rules out the supremacy of God's Law.

The sixth chapter of Ephesians, also written by Paul from prison, gives us much food for thought as we contemplate the spiritual warfare which is heating up all around us, especially verses 11-18.
He had already spoken to the Philippian saints in the first chapter about the cost of his discipleship, and that unto them "it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake." Christians in many parts of the world are already living out this mandate,BIG TIME. Christ may come at any moment to snatch us out of this evil world. But our seeming immunity to the tribulations of our brethren may be lifted for a time before we experience the Rapture. What do you think? I'd really like to know your views.
