Ramblings

 Here in Louisiana, there is an amazing amount of wildlife. I was watching a group of 7 Black Vultures riding the air currents, and I was amazed. Of course, I had a brief moment of anthropomorphism, wondering if they took joy in that soaring. We know that the higher primates, gorillas, chimpanzees, etc can experience joy, anger, and sorrow, but I wonder about other creatures. I am frequently amazed by God's creation and the thoughts and questions it produces. As this Nation, and the West drift further and further away from God, we see the destruction and evil it brings. We've been witnessing this in the reprobation of the minds of many, so much so that they refuse to acknowledge what a man and woman are. They continue in their quest to murder the unborn, to confuse and then mutilate the bodies of the young. Perfectly healthy physical bodies, but minds that have been troubled and confused by purely evil people. Such does Leftism and anti-Christian thought produce. Until people f...

 Throughout history, when Christianity is persecuted, it grows. It experiences tremendous growth, and has from its earliest days. What we see here in the West is the ebb of Christianity. It has lost much of its influence. The West became fat with ease and abundance. When that happens, the things that caused the ease and abundance are forgotten. It happened with ancient Israel. Once they were secure, they strayed from God and His Law. They paid lip service in many cases, but many outright turned away from Him. Here in the West, we've done the same. So far, the Evil One hasn't had to persecute Christians. He just allows, no, he encourages us to make excuses, to change things to make God more palatable. To steer us to make a god after ourselves. Thus, you see the demand for acceptance of all forms of perversion.  You see people 'deconstructing' their faith, if they ever truly had it. You see wolves in sheep's clothing ravening the church. People like Talerico, or the f...

 Yes, this is a theme with me. The West, by my definition, means Nations that were formerly majority Christian. Yes, I include the US in that. We were once a majority-Christian nation, but that is no longer the case. This is observably true. It's true in every metric you can think of. The results of this are also impossible to miss. Everything that Christianity improved, or abolished, is reverting to pagan madness. From the slaughter of babies, to the so-called sexual revolution, to the trans madness, the breakdown of the family, and the complete corruption in government, from local all the way to the top nationally, to the rise of the evils of Leftism and the violence commensurate with it, are all due to our turning away from the one True God. We also see it in the eruption of evil and greed in many a so-called church. Whether it's financial or sexual, many 'churches' have become like the world. Those sitting in the pews are goats playing at Christianity. It has been s...

 After this last attempt on Trump's life, we once again see how Leftism only amplifies man's fallenness. I have always hated Leftism. It is perverse, regressive, and violently evil. For the longest time, I've tried not to hate Leftists. I don't want to hate anyone. Yet, I find it harder and harder to not hate them. I used to make excuses for them. Oh, they've been lied to all their lives by either their parents, teachers, or both. There comes a point where they are responsible for their own hatred. In this day of facts and other views right at our fingertips, they have become without excuse. We will never be a united Nation again. You cannot unite with such vile evil. The World said after the Holocaust, "Never again." Well, it WILL happen again, and the Leftists will be the ones to do it. Just like the last time.

 I've watched several videos on YouTube about people who are blaming their Smartphones for being distracting, how they're leaving them at home, not taking them here or there because of all the notifications, etc. The thought that came to me is "You know you can turn that stuff off, right?" Seriously, you can turn off notifications, set specific ones, silence the phone, etc. You can even, wait for it, TAKE APPS OFF THE PHONE! I have no social media on my phone. Zero, zip, nada. I have some work apps, some banking apps, that sort of stuff, and the notifications are turned off. When I'm out to eat with someone, or in church, the ringer is on silent. Seriously, you can do this. Yes, there will be an adjustment period, but after a while, YOU will be controlling the phone, not the other way around.  I often ask myself why I'm addicted to smartphones, but not computers. My laptop is 6 years old, my iPad 5. I upgraded my home computer last year, after 5 years. I upgra...

 All over the internet these days, you constantly hear younger folks and hoary old white women screeching about how Trump and the Republicans are 'fascists'. How Trump won't leave office at the end of his term, how he's this evil bugaboo, etc. For the younger crowd, I feel sorrow, as they've been indoctrinated and lied to about fascism. Worse, they've been fed the lies since they were small children, along with the evils of transgernderism and all the other perversions of Leftists. They were never told the truth about the evils of Marxism/Socialism/Communism. Equality is their buzzword. They know nothing of the fallen Nature of man, or that the isms they're so enamored of lead to 2 classes: those at the top who never want for anything, and the masses, who only get the dregs. They've been told that the US invented slavery, as well as every other ill the planet suffers. The really sad thing is, once someone has been exposed to the evils of Leftism for a lo...
