America is a lot happier nowadays, ain’t we. No one seems to be discussing the sins of America, telling us what we are doing wrong and trying to correct us to their way of thinking. The nerve of some of the preachers trying to push righteousness down our throats telling us that is what God wants us to do. Folks over at the major networks do not like that at all….Everything goes is much, much better than nothing goes. Nothing goes sells nothing. Everything goes sells big time. That’s what America wants….Everything goes. It ain’t legal or God says it ain’t right, well, let’s just pass a law that says it is right and that it is ok and get on with it. That’s what we do. I’m not saying it is correct and right in God’s sight but you and I both know that’s how we want it to go. So that’s exactly what we do…….Yes, I know that we are now living under a much gentler time, where everything is forgiven if we ask for it and repent and I really believe that to be so. But back over there somewhere some words echo in my heart that stands out….FEAR THE LORD THY GOD…..We have a new Covent now. I know that. But still, we cannot be forgetting who is boss and forgetting that He writes the law and only He can change them. Thy shall not kill…..it is still a law….Love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, with all thy soul….it is still the law….Still expected from us. Some things go on forever and forever….He is not happy with us when we just keep on sinning with no remorse, no repenting…So things happen in life that make us look to Him, things that make us realize that some things are much bigger than what man can handle….and we still need His help. Like now….

In November 1935 Pete Hester was born. In April 1936 Cecil Bonner was born. He lived up on top of the hill and I lived just down under the hill. Around the road it was probably 1/4 miles between our houses, but up the path between our houses was probably a lot closer. Anyway, our houses were very close, our Dad’s were very close and he and I became two peas in a pod. We worked in Uncle Dee’s cotton and corn fields together and worked for Uncle Dee at his sawmill. And he would pay us, always a little something, always as an award to make us realize the value of working and getting paid for it. Because of our being so close, I reckon I became close to Cecil’s family, cause they just took me in and loved me and I felt it was almost as much as they loved Cecil. For many years, if you saw one of us, you saw the other. So, we worked together and we played together and we ate together. My mom worked. Aunt Vera, Cecil’s mom did not work, well, away from home anyway. She was a wonderful cook and of course she would always invite me to eat with them. Only thing, when Aunt Vera fixed a meal everyone at the table was expected to eat some of everything she fixed. She fixed okra, you ate it…she fixed asparagus, you ate it, she fixed tomatoes, you ate them. Now I was a meat and potatoes man, except Aunt Vera did not let me get away with that . I had to take some of everything and I had to eat everything I took. You did not leave the table until everything was gone and there was no way to cheat. Aunt Vera was so pretty and so precious that I really did wanted to please her and do everything she said, but a meat and potatoes man having to eat all those veggies, like English Peas….and lettuce and radishes and carrots, rabbit food? Yep, she made you eat it all.
On to my point, finally, today I eat it all, thanks to Aunt Vera and I generally clean up my plate. I’m still a meat and potatoes guy but I eat all that other stuff, including the rabbit food. Cecil, Uncle Dee and Aunt Vera are as much a part of me as Mom and Dad and Gent and Sam. I loved them….More importantly, they loved me….

Did you ever wonder what will the dates be after AD…..if there are records kept of days after the return of our Lord…What did we have, around 5000 years of BC? And now, 2021 years of AD so far…and we are probably a few years away from the Rapture…will we start recording the years as AR or some other initial stating how long we are in heaven? I think not…It’s forever and who will want to count forever?. And the one’s that are already there would already be counting I reckon. When God said, I Was and then said, I Am, I guess the counting really started at I Was, so the years over there are probably recorded in the I Was years, I reckon they number in the billions by now. No, I really don’t think we will be worried about how long we have been there…we will just enjoy our time together…for years and years and years and years….well, you get the idea about us in the I Was time and dates…

Have you noticed on the programs that discuss UFO and such are getting favorable reports from the government nowadays. One of the reports stated that is because they are no longer unidentified. They now know who they are or so the reporter said. Maybe, or maybe they read the bible and said you know, “I think Revelation talks about these guys.” I for one do not know for sure, but I also think they are real….I also think there are some good’un and some bad’un….and them good’un belong to God and them bad’un belong to Satan….More later..

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.
