Keep The Faith

I’d like to finish my story about my accident; the one I told you about in the previous post. Back to the scene of the accident: The first highway patrolman who started pursuing the person who almost hit me never got a chance to catch that person. He heard the crash and turned around at his next available pass-through and came back to check on us to see if we were all OK; which we both were. More cops showed up very quickly. It was the second cop who recorded all our stories, even whatever the first cop had to say. The second cop was the one who gave us both tickets. I didn’t get mad or say derogatory things to him. I just told him my story as best I could. When I took out all the things I thought contributed to the accident, I was legally at fault; I failed to yield the right of way. I did not obey the law. And that was that. I had two options with my ticket. I could pay the ticket and this accident would stay in my driving history for a long time, or I could take a Driv...

Why do we judge something that we are not even a part of? It is hard enough to judge even if you are involved or if you are charged with the responsibility to judge.  All of us have this tendency to judge or form an opinion about who was right or wrong just by what we see in the news or read or hear from others. The only thing we do when we voice our opinions is to contribute to the unrest and fuel the hate. To give you an example of how our judgements can be faulty; have you ever watched a football game and thought a referee made a wrong call. From the angle of view that you saw on TV, there was no way that he was right. But as you saw the many different angles from other cameras, you came to agree with him; he judged correctly.   What I am referring to right now is what’s going on between black people and white cops and our judicial system. I live in Texas and the big news right now is about what happened to Sandra Bland, a black woman, and a white cop who th...

What I am about to say is not to put down the Muslim faith at all. I know that there are many groups within all faiths who interpret their Holy book differently. To those of you who believe that your Allah desires you to go and kill people, I wonder if you are serving the One True God? I can’t understand the killing of people just because they are Jews or Christians or Muslims or Palestinians or Americans or blacks or whites or whoever it is that you justify killing. This post is for all people who believe killing others is the answer to the world's problems. You can't force others to believe what you believe. Many convert out of fear. When you gain a convert to your way of thinking, it doesn't stop there. Soon you start to suspect those converts and make up tests to see if they really have converted. When you decide someone has failed your test and that they really have not converted, you will kill them; that is if they are lucky. History has shown that just killin...

I’ve gotten tired of reading on Facebook all the negative comments associated with President Obama; mostly from Christians. Have Christians forgotten the scriptures? Romans 13:1 New American Standard Bible (NASB) Be Subject to Government Romans 13:1 New American Standard Bible (NASB) Be Subject to Government 13  Every [ a ] person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except [ b ] from God, and those which exist are established by God.   Daniel 2:20-21 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 20  Daniel said, “Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, For wisdom and power belong to Him. 21  “It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and [ a ] establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to [ b ] men of understanding.   Psalm 75:1-7 New American Standard Bible (NASB) God Abases the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous. For the choir director; s...

Here it is 3:00 AM in the morning. So often I awake at this time when it has something to do with Father God and His work. I’ve been thinking a lot about Satan and the other fallen Angels lately. Satan was created with such great powers. God had to have known before-hand that Satan and the others would do what they did and yet He let them go. If God ruled like Satan does, they would have been gone long ago. I really do believe God still loves them and they have been in His master plan to save us all, His whole creation, from the beginning. Satan, you probably don’t remember me. Back in 1999, I think was the year, I had just started trading in the stock market. I was on the Yahoo stock board, mostly just watching what others said about stocks and to get pointers on how to do things. There was so much scheming and conniving going on there that it was almost useless to a lot of us and a number of us moved over to the Bull board. I bounced back and forth between the two boards ...
