May the grace and love of Christ Jesus be with you forever and share that love with others. You won't lack any, He has more than enough to give!

WINSTON CHURCHILL: THE MAN WHO SAVED THE FREE WORLD
I've always admired Winston Churchill. His first name happens to be my maiden last name, lol. So, maybe I'm a big prejudiced, lol. But I do believe he was an honorable man although a well known drinker and talk about being so NOT politically correct that today, he's be burned at the stake, lol. So, I just thought I'd share some truth about the world, our history and instead of the lies taught by Common Core and other liberal agendas in our educational system, I want our young people to know the truth, from everything since creation to today, the good, the bad and the ugly. Those who disregard history are doomed to repeat it. Let us learn all truth...especially Biblical truth...and world events because have you read the Bible and the end times prophecies? It all is about politics. Be harmless as doves but wise as serpents! Be blessed.
NOT CHANGING MY BLOG TO A POLITICAL ONE BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTINUE TO IGNORE IT
Not happy about having to start getting a bit political on this blog and if you want to keep yourself out of them, it will never offend me for you to skip my political posts and I will always make you aware when they are before reading. But for those who are Christian AND conservative, I highly recommend this particular site and to listen to any YouTube videos from Liberty University, especially Jeff Foxworthy's convocation speech. It's funny, it's true, and it's all about the Gospel. If anyone wants a link, I'll try to find one and include it. Listen to the end as after his stand-up routine is finished, they talk and that's when it becomes amazing. Join Prager U and watch out for Liberty University and other Biblical college seminars, convocations or anything they do. You will be blessed by their message. God bless and love everyone so much in Christ Jesus that His irresistible grace will be, well, irresistible to those in the dark. Share the Gospel of Salvation...the Cross and the changes the Holy Spirit will regenerate you once you are truly saved. You'll even like yourself, maybe for the first ime and those flaws you hate, like an ugly mole, scar or wart, will become the most beautiful thing on the outside because it no longer matters but only what is inside. It becomes your "badge of allegiance" to the One God in lives and abides in Heaven, that sent His Son to die for us and then didn't forsake us but sent the Holy Spirit. Oh, what that love cost. Don't cheapen it.
If you decide not to watch this, maybe you don't appreciate or like his brand of humor but being a suthner, I sure do. It's way more than comedy but a testimony to God's great love, mercy, grace and forgiveness on the most unworthy as the rich and elitists would say. I praise God Almighty for seeing the heart, the ability to change and His absolute sovereignty over our lives. MUST WATCH!
CHRISTIAN ENTERTAINMENT - AGREE OR DISAGREE, GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT AND MY POV ONLY
Right after I got tired of running from God and finally surrendered my life to Him, I sort of went from one extreme to another. I couldn't find a balance. Should I watch TV, go to a movie, read, go on vacation, really stupid questions. Jesus Christ died to set us free from man-made religious rules and controlling churches. Is not everything that's made, made because of a gift of God? That does not mean ALL things made are good OR right for the Christian and that's why, in His infinite wisdom, gave us Spiritual discernment. I suggest we exercise it every chance we get. Ask yourself a question that my grandmother, a devout Christian, once told me to ask myself whenever I had doubts...If Jesus were to return while you were doing that, would you be happy or ashamed? Well, I admit I didn't always take her advice but I sure wish that I had. It would have saved a ton of heartbreak.
My story is long and probably boring in most places but I can look back and see God's handiwork in my life. I see how Romans 8:28 proved true over and over in my life ("For as we know, ALL things work to the good, to those who love the Lord, and are called according to His purposes.) To make it simple, I became "religious" rather than free in Christ. I only read books related to Him (BIIIIIIIG mistake because of false doctrine); stopped watching any TV shows; watched only faith-based movies (and, to a point I still do that) but did He not also say He came to give us life and life more abundantly?
Yes, in my POV as well as many true men of God (and women) agree that if you do nothing but stay immersed in religion, you will burn out, get bored, frustrated and feel as if there's no real joy in your life. People, esp Christians, see the word "secular" as sinning. Is going grocery shopping a Spiritual experience? No, but it can be. Is reading a book that shows the depravity of the human heart and ultimate justice and grace a bad thing? To Kill A Mockingbird is on the no-no list of books Christians should not read yet the Harry Potter series is. Hmmmm, a little hypocritical in my opinion. Yes, books have cursing, racial slurs, violence, sex, even pure vulgarity in them but guess what, so does life. We are not OF this world but we do live here. I've got a book that's about the KKK from the 60s that has horrible language but I'm well familiar with the author and what the ultimate agenda or purpose will be. I am going to read it...finally. I can't shelter myself from this world unless I stay in a controlled environment forever. I want to enjoy my life. I am not going to watch a movie, TV show or read any book other than the Bible that is going to change my moral compass. I do have the ability to discern fiction and nonfiction. Just like the Left Behind series (which I thoroughly enjoyed for what it was) was a big no-no by certain denominations, let's get real here. Of course it's not doctrine or gospel. It's not a nonfiction book as it has not happened yet. Enjoy it as it's really good. So is this series about a pastor by Jan Karon. I highly recommend that one.
Be careful though on movies and TV, use good discernment and, if need be, have those channels blocked if you have kids. I am not one for censoring but I've seen the new shows ads and I wouldn't want my dog watching them. Some are openly about worshiping satan, transgender, normalizing gay and transgender agendas and over- sexualizing kids at a very young age, even to the point of "reality" TV shows parents allowing 5 year olds to change their gender through surgery. Ridiculous and at this point, the parents and them alone should be the sole deciders of when, how and what their children are taught. Of course we should teach them not to bully or make fun of LGBTQ or any other group of people but that does not mean we have to accept, love and embrace it. "Raise your children in the way it should go and he/she will never depart from it." Christianity is hated and despised. Many families are losing their children to the state for raising them in church. Talk to your kids. Set firm rules and this may sound harsh and uncaring BUT if your child reports you to CPS for being taken to church, maybe let them go to foster care for a few months and maybe they'll learn a thing or two.
So relax, enjoy your life. Go have a water gun fight, pillow fight and roast mini marshmallows over a candle on a toothpick while telling stories with the lights off. Read some good books that don't deal with the occult and tell Bible stories. Tell them that you are adding to them to make them exciting and when they get older, they'll learn what really happened. You don't want to really tell a 5 year old the truth (make sure they know it's fiction, not a lie) about the flood. We all do secular things and secular is not a bad word, it just means one is Spiritual, the other is just normal things we do in life. We Christians tend to make it sound "bad" when we self-righteously tell others "we don't listen to 'secular' music' read those books, do those things. Yes, actually you do and you should. Did Jesus eat with the religious or the sinners? If you separate yourself and only deal with "Christians" you are a hypocrite and self-righteous. You're religious. Play a game of pool with a sinner, make a bet with the odds in your favor that whoever wins, the sinner has to hear 20 minutes of the Gospel." It sets a good atmosphere and when they don't feel judged, condemned or hated, they are far more open. Be the LIGHT OF THE WORLD and shine that light so those who are in the dark, see their way clearly to the cross of salvation.
Discern but be free. This is my POV and if yours is different, then you do what works for you and let the Holy Spirit dictate mine but don't let fear stop you from what God may have planned for you. He never forces, He gently guides but never inflicts His will on you. Don't have others' blood on your hands. Enjoy life and where you are, so is He as don't you know that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit?
HOLLYWOOD'S HYPOCRISY ON GUN VIOLENCE
I will probably be sharing a lot on my blog this week, on a lot of subject that all have to do with my faith but may be outside the "norm." For example, I decided that my blog would NOT be political and although I'm about as conservative politically, morally and Spiritually as one can get; absolutely do not get the leftist (or democratic) agenda at all...okay, not true all the time. I've worked in the medical and legal field and worked with and for a small town mayor so I'm a work mutt. I also have a gift (I call it a curse at times) of sometimes seeing where things are heading without having proof. Funny, I'll say in 1 year this will happen and then it does. No, I am not a prophet, I do not have the ability to "speak things into existence" or every poor, homeless person would be sleeping in luxury tonight, but just common sense and looking ahead. Our founding fathers of this nation had great insight into what would happen "if" such and such happened. Check out the real reason we do have the right to bear arms. It is not for self-protection or hunting but to protect the country FROM a tyrannical government.
We all think of California as liberal but the truth is, most is conservative BUT the big cities like LA, San Diego, San Francisco, etc. control the outcome of the elections. Highly unfair and why if Calfornication chose to secede from the Union, I'd back them 100%. I don't go to movies made by mainstream Hollywood, buy their DVDs, keep up with the Kardashians or care who is getting fat or plastic surgery. I don't buy a magazine with their pictures on it and I sure as hell do not worship or idolize them. They are mostly scum. Who do they think they are anyway to tell me that they are so much more important to us that if we elected Trump, they'd leave! Hmmmm, celebrities on the left/my country, my feedom, liberty, religious rights, freedom to protect myself, etc.; no contest.
So men like Will Smith, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, etc. that makes movies that GLORIFY guns and going on murderous rampages all for filthy money, has the right to tell ME AND YOU we can't own 1 small gun to keep our children and the innocent safe. The utter hypocrisy. Yet, ask any worldly person who they believe are the biggest hypocrites are and they will say "the Christians." Wow, sad. We are the least hypocritical of all because we admit (a) we are a bunch of worthless wretches, worthy of hell, and no matter how long we live, we will sin. That's truth, not hypocrisy. A self-righteous Christian is not a true Christian so therefore yes, they are hypocrites.
While I like and respect (and definitely pray for) President Trump and voted for him, I do not, as some appear to do, worship the man. He's doing some great things and said a few things I'm not so thrilled about. The Bible says to pray for your leaders and to never speak evil of them. I pray he gets great Spiritual advisers, gets rid of wolves and doesn't let evil Hellywood influence him. Let them be a sanctuary state if that's what they want on a trial basis for a month. If I were a betting woman, I'd bet they'd be begging for the National Guard, ICE and any military intervention possible within that month. I guess you can tell I hate Hellywood. Pureflix is better than Crossflix and it's a better deal with better program and both offer a free month trial without any risk. Try it and if you have Netflix, guess which one you'll keep. Enjoy the video....God bless.

Well, Mr. (C)looney, you did do what you said so I'll give you a small bit of respect for that but only, as your "god - small 'g' indicates false god or messiah" said, "just a smidgeon." You moved you and your precious (sincerely I mean that) family which you did after you on national TV and in magazines, talk shows, tabloids, etc., swore you'd never marry and definitely never EVER have kids, to Britain (can't wait until they're old enough to hear how "wanted" they were from your own lips) . They don't have guns, do they? How well did that work out for ya over there? Just curious because you stated "We came back because it was jut TOO DANGEROUS OVER THERE). I'd welcome you home but apparently America isn't good enough for you so why not move to where your wife is from? BTW, how well do you pay your armed guards? Because of Obozo, I'm not able to work OR get the disability I'm entitled to as I paid into the system my whole life. My MONEY I lent gladly so that others could live. I'd kinda like to apply for the job of saving your life and that of your children and wife. Why is your life, wife and your children worth saving by the guns you claim to hate and want taken away more than mine? FYI, when we legal gun owners see a person that we don't know in trouble, we don't ask who they voted for or party affiliation, as it doesn't matter to us. We see a scared, vulnerable human being with family, friends, a life, and hopefully one that makes this world a better place by unifying it instead of dividing it. ALL lives matter to us equally, especially the unborn. Did you get any women pregnant and coerce them into an abortion by paying them to do it? Just a question, no judgment. In fact, we won't ever ask you your "party" but instead pray for God to give you the awesome gift of WISDOM!
First Corinthians 15:1-11
Ephesians 2:8-9
John 3:16
Isaiah Chapter 53
Acts 8:37 (KJV Only)
NO OTHER NAME UNDER THE SUN CAN ANYONE BE SAVED AND JESUS CHRIST INCLUDES ALL MEN...NOT JUST CERTAIN ONES. NOW THAT'S A LOVING AND JUST/MERCIFUL GOD!
ONLY a loving, merciful and just God would provide salvation to every single person ever born on this planet. He sends no one to hell. "For He sent His Son into the world not to condemn the world (unbelievers) but that through Him the WORLD might be saved. No other "god" of any religion includes everyone, regardless of race, creed, national origin, color of eyes, obeying laws or disobeying them but by the most easy way possible to receive eternal life and that's to believe in the Messiah, Yeshua ah Messiach; Jesus Christ, Yahooshawah, or whatever Name you call Him for He knows His Sheep and to whom you are speaking. He humbled Himself to become a human being and to be the last sacrifice to wipe out, erase, eradicate everything you ever did. You have a clean slate and whoever calls upon His Name will never be cast out.
Read the Gospel of John 3 times in a row without prejudice, preconceived ideas, unbelief or biases but as if you never heard of this strange but beautiful Book, the Holy Bible. You MUST read it 3 times in a row but not all at once. Let the words sink in each time and think on it. You might be amazed at what you truly see, believe and live. Only a coward, a very insecure atheist deathly afraid a word might change their thoughts will refuse this challenge. I hear the excuses, I'm not wasting my time; nonsense; man-wirtten book (you read those all the time); and many others but they don't hold up. So, if you refuse my challenge, tell me the reason why...at the end of your tirade all I'll hear is "I'm scared I may find out I'm wrong."
GOD BLESS AND LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS!
