What Party Am I?

For those who know me and have known me, I used to be a staunch conservative (1 step away from a compound in Cors D'Laine armed to the teeth).  Rachael's death and God has shown me that it does not really matter.  Am I still conservative minded?  Yes.  Do I feel a need to spread my conservatism? Not any longer.  There are more important things.  My God, His message, my family (both blood and water), and my neighbors.  So where am I going with this?  Take a seat.  Take a breath. I have many ideas, passions, many opinions.  Many are very conservative (Tea Party, Reagan Republican), many are anti-government involvement (Libertarian) and yes, many are liberal (Democrat/Socialist/Communist).  But let me be perfectly clear (said with a Nixon impression), these ideas/opinions/passions are MINE!! Not theirs.  These ideas do not they enroll me in nor associate me with a particular political party/movement.  Politically, I am ec...

Where Is The Love?

Matt 7:3“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? Recently, I have read some FB posts about the problems of the modern church.  My friend Ben Jensen wrote an excellent rebuttal to one of them and I will refrain from re-iterating it here.  Please take the time and read his statement in his blog Dear Church: People Will Always Leave You at  http://lifeunstained.blogspot.com/     Read it. It is worth your time. It is easy to go about ranting on what is wrong with the church.  We, who are the church, are fallen, imperfect, etc.  So there is a lot of material available.  Possibly a 1,000+ volume encyclopedia on me alone and I am just 1 of millions. I understand admonishments and exhortations are needed from time-to-time.  And yes discipline needs to be exercised as well.  But we need to be so careful that we do not overstep our authority and find ourselves in dir...

Beg your pardon Ma'am?

Usually I post about concerns and scriptural revelation and sometimes political insights (if you can call them that).  Today I am taking a different tack.  Westerns.  I watched the movie Appaloosa again today.  It is a relatively modern made western movie starring Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen.  So why am I writing about westerns?  Well, I consider myself something of an aficionado on the genre. ('Cause only aficionados can use words like aficionado and genre.)  Since I was very young (maybe as far back as 3), I spent Sunday afternoons watching western movies with my father.  One of the very few things we did agree upon, was John Wayne, western and war movies, as well as a multitude of other western movies.  I grew up watching Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood, Tom Mix, Gary Cooper, Robert Taylor, Robert Redford, Yul Brynner, Charlie Bronson, to mention only a few.  There were many others.  Those were the good guys.  ...
