Ramblings

 I was perusing Quora's site and came across a photo asking who remembered the Blizzard of '78. Well, I most certainly do as I was almost killed in the aftermath by my own stupidity! Yes, contrary to the mores of modern society, kids ARE stupid. I was cursed with more stupid of the reckless variety than most in those days and I still managed to survive it, by the grace of God. Anyway, on to the story. I didn't pay much attention to dates, birthdays and Christmas accepted, when I was a kid.  It was either school season or not school season. It was either summer of not summer, you get the picture. Well, it was school season and not summer. The snowstorm came in and school was canceled. I was going through a tunneler phase at the time. I loved to dig. The year before on the road behind our house, there was a HUGE snowdrift across the road. The city didn't plow it often as the houses back there were under construction. All us kids in the neighborhood had dug tunnels all thr

 I think it was around 1974. I was 10 and mom was slowly granting me more range in roaming around town. I had time limits, so I knew roughly how far I could go. I don't think she was aware of just how FAR my pals and I could go. It was different in the winter though as the bikes had been put away and we were on foot. If we weren't roaming around with shovels to clear driveways or help someone stuck in their cars to make cash, we just roamed and talked and used our imaginations. We were boys, and we had expansive and vivid imaginations.  One fine afternoon I had been out selling tickets to my Boy Scout Troop's spaghetti dinner. I didn't do too bad, but it was cold and I decided to head home. My pal Kevin was with me. We decided to take a shortcut across Duncan Creek. It was frozen for the most part and we were 10 and skinny. As we were going across we noticed an opening in the ice and, floating in the center, a nice Hockey Stick! What a prize! I started edging towards it

 It's hard to watch. As I grow older, the Nation and State I grew up in are no more. Only small remnants are left. I don't recognize it or its people any longer, for the most part. I've believed we're under God's Judgment for some time. We've been given over and the exponential rise in perversity and flat-out evil confirms this. People have gone insane. The evil of abortion, the acceptance of Homosexuality, the mutilation of the bodies of children to serve the evil of so-called 'transgenderism' that is being pushed by 'adults' and butchers calling themselves doctors only strengthens my belief that God is taking us out due to our turning away from Him. Add to this the racial divisions being foisted upon us by Leftism, an evil in itself, only adds to the rest of what's destroying us. Not just the US either. This infection is rotting much of The West, as we call it. All across the west free speech is under assault, and deviancy is being paraded

 Many people today, even those claiming Christ, will tell you they believe the same thing; that man is basically good. They're wrong. Scripture tells us in both Testaments that "there is no one righteous, no, not one. There is NONE who does good. No one seeks after God." Jesus said to the rich young ruler "Why do you call me good? There is none good but God." All one need do is LOOK AROUND! You will see the depravity of man. It's rampant. It's in the LGBTQ nonsense. It's in the glaringly evil transgender insanity. It's in the mutilation of children with the approval of their parents! It's in the perverse sexualization of the same children. It's in the sense of entitlement many seem to have. It's in the so-called education system. It's IN THE CHURCH! It's in EVERY facet of government, from local all the way to the Federal Government. NOTHING is untouched! Look around and you will see evil and perversity destroying the Nation. W

 I like Tech. Ask anyone who knows me. I'm in the process of breaking my addiction to having the newest phones. I now have an Apple 14 Pro Max. I like the bigger screen but not the weight. Anyway, I've seen many videos and have read articles about people's battery health dropping. After some thought and reflection, I have a simple solution many apparently have missed. PUT THE PHONE DOWN! Now, this, to me, is a societal problem. So many people are glued to their phone screens. They're always looking at something or playing some game. When I'm in a sit-down restaurant and I look at other tables, I see people looking at their phones rather than each other. This problem began with the advent of the smartphone era. It was bad enough when people were always texting on old-school phones, but now it's even worse. So, when you spend so much time on the phone you use up the battery. Then you charge it up and do it again. That uses battery cycles which, over time, causes d

 As the US and The West come increasingly into the Wrath of God's Judgement, there will be a great winnowing. A separating of the wheat and the chaff. You will see a great falling away from the TRUE Gospel for the sugary sweet, and false teaching of much of Western Christianity. It's all sunshine and rainbows when it doesn't cost you to be a 'christian'. When the cost goes up, it is MUCH more difficult. When faced with a choice to stand for Christ, and lose things or a job, or go with the culture and be safe, many will choose the latter.  When this poisoned, evil society we live in demands allegiance, the pinch of incense for Ceasar, how many will refuse the pinch? How many will take their stand for the TRUTH of Christ? We're already seeing whole denominations turning away from Biblical Truths to be better thought of by our pagan Society. The whole LGBTQ+IA insanity is an excellent example of how so many so-called Christians have whored after other gods. Denomin
