With more of the vaccine available the Covid 19 number are beginning to come down. Before long, I think we will return to a form of normalcy around the country and travel and socializing will increase once again. Churches will be open for Easter this year, I hope, and families will once again celebrate with one another. And when it happens….wow, how nice….I know I, for one, am really looking forward to it.

“Joe Biden and the schism in American Catholicism” by E. J. Dionne, dateline Washington as shown in the Albuquerque Journal paper dated February 1, 2021.
I really don’t know. At 85 years old I become more confused with each passing year. I have been taught all my life that the bible is the word of God. I have also been taught that it was the unchanging word of God. I have been taught that God said “this is my word and will not return to me void.” I have been taught the the word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.
Now, this reporter or writer, whatever he is, says among some other stuff that:
“But a more conservative leadership appointed by Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI coincided with a Reagan-era push by intellectuals and activists on the church’s right to ally with the White evangelical political movement in opposition to abortion and advances in LGBTQ rights”.
Let me tell you something Mr. Dionne, the White evangelical political movement did not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah nor did they say to. The White evangelical did not say for man to not sleep with another man. Nor did the White evangelical say, “thou shall not kill”. All of that was recorded in the Bible, the rule book for all of humanity. The While evangelicals cannot change nor amend those rules. They Are Forever. Please direct any effort to change those rules toward Almighty God as there is nothing the White evangelicals can do about it at this time.

I was surprised the other day while waiting on a sandwich I ordered at a local café. They had outside dining and take out. Mask’s were required to enter. This fellow comes over to me with his mask pulled down under his nose and goes to bad mouthing the government over pushing the masks saying it was all a farce and there was nothing to it…All of it was fabricated by the government and asked it I knew anyone who had it…well, yeah, I said, my son, my friend’s son, a nephew and a couple of other people I knew. I got away from him as quickly as I could, not wanting to hear anymore about the fake disease we are suffering “unjustly” through….. Yesterday, a friend of mine told me his brother had died of Covid 19. I’m just stunned that some folks could share that fellow’s line of thinking considering all the folks who have Covid 19 and all those who have died world wide from it….What do some of our citizens listen to, and read, and study. I hope all of you will follow the guide lines that we have in place to try and limit our exposure to this dreaded disease. Take care folks..

I think most of my fellow Christians have read 2 Peter, including chapter three, written by the Apostle Peter. He tells us that people become scoffers because the Lord is so slow in returning back to earth. He explains to us why He is so slow to return and it is because He is wanting all to repent and become believers in His word. Then Peter goes on to say that this earth, the elements and the heavens will be destroyed by fire…..but Peter says the Lord has given us a way out of that judgement. To escape that destruction by fire, and to enter the new heaven and the new earth, is by becoming believers. If you are a believer you know all of this and fully understand it. If you are one of the scoffers, I hope you will reconsider your thinking and ponder what is in store for you if you continue to scoff God’s word. That destruction by fire will be complete….That is the end for all the scoffers….and that is the beginning for all believers…It’s your choice.

From Pete Hester Facebook Page….
The world of politics….That is the happening thing today. I can get involved. I can leave it go and not comment. And all the other things that are going on I can back away from. Now I am going to say something directly from my heart and it is this…..What is going on today is directly from God to me through His word. The world is now totally in His hands. He has full control of the spaceship called Earth. He is guiding it to His final destination. He does not need my help at the controls of this ship. He needs me to have faith in Him. We can be bitter, we can fuss and complain, we can say derogatory things about those in temporary control of the Earth if you choose…But for me, just knowing that the ship’s Captain has got this I choose to relax and ride this ship He is guiding….I realize it’s going to be a bumpy ride, that He told us already, but I know where this ship is heading….It is an identified flying object and we know where it is going. I hope you will join me and come along for the ride, relaxing as our Heavenly Father takes us home.

Now let me see if I have this correct….One of our golfers uttered a homophobic slur under his breath and was called down about it and had to apologize for it. It makes me wonder if our general population would expect God to apologize for Sodom and Gomorrah if it happened today. I don’t think any of the rules, good or bad, have changed one bit since that day many years ago. We try to tell many people “oh, it has all changed now….that is not bad….that is good and don’t you be saying anything bad about something we think is good. Men lying with men is ok nowadays…this is modern times.” ……I don’t think so folks. It ain’t changed. It is still a sin. And me, or the golfer involved in the homophobic slur are guilty of reminding folks that it is still a sin and folks who do that are doing something wrong in God’s sight…..will we next be saying, “hush, don’t be calling him a bank robber, he was simply a man in need”. I tell you, we have come a long ways, baby….we have come a long ways….

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Since as far back as I can remember I have said those words. They are as real to me as, “Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name” is to me. I am a Christian. I am an American. That remains unchanged. Steadfast am I as an American Christian, and I will serve thee, My God and My Country. Forever. Amen.
