20th Century Man Continued

  I'm a natural born twentieth century man. I come from a time when men were men and women were glad of it. From a time when every man woman and child of us were proud to be known as an American. Similarly, also as it still is today, America was the place to be, we were then, the trend setters of the world. And as it still is today, people from all points of the globe wanted to be here. So beyond just our simple pride, we understood our gratefulness, as there had been two world wars and America had never had a bomb one dropped on us. It wasn't us who had to rebuild our civilization. In both of these world wars, America had remained unscathed. Recently, we recognized the great cost of freedom, Memorial day, a day when we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and died for us so that we remained free, and we did. Even today, America is still free. No greater sacrifice can be made than for one to lie down his life for others. To be clear, it isn't that we haven't fought wars on this land at all. We have, since as late as the nineteenth century and back to the Revolutionary war, had foreign troops fighting in our country. We did in various lesser wars, but the most deadly of all with the largest numbers of Americans killed, was when we killed each other in a Civil War. It still the record holder for most Americans killed in a war. But again, in the twentieth century on up to the Y2k, the brink of the 21st century, no bombs fell on the United States of America. 

  Enter the twenty first century. Y2k should have alerted us, that this new century, the 21st, was going to be vastly different. About a year into this new century on September eleventh of 2001, we were bombed from within by Islamist terrorists. The hateful extremists hit multiple targets, specific targets, designed to really hurt. They stabbed at our financial pride by attacking the Twin Towers. They stabbed directly at our government  by attacking the capital city itself. They even targeted the heart of our military prowess, by attacking the Pentagon in Washington DC. There was another target in our capital city that was targeted, but that plane never made it. Because every day citizens like those in the past, didn't cower in fear, but fought back and saved many lives. Brave, gritty, tough, take no nonsense Americans sacrificed their lives to save others. Sound familiar? This was the beginning of a whole other time, one of fear and confusion. 

  So yeah, you can say I'm a twentieth century man, I wear it as a badge of honor. But in staying with the theme. The twentieth century club is not only one you join by your age, but there are also females within our ranks. People who love the truth and hate lies! And more importantly, people who are willing to stand unashamed against the madness and say NO! Enough stupidity, no more leading with hurt feelings, but rather return to common sense. We need men to remember manhood again and be themselves. This country desperately needs more Alpha males, or as the left calls them, toxic males? Toxic Males, it has a nice ring to it. Someone, hopefully me, will start cranking out Proud to be a Toxic Male tee shirts. I can see the sportswear brand already.  

     

Going Home

  Day upon day, hour after hour, it never stops. We are baffled by it all, befuddled and disappointed. We've been roust about, been through the mill. And just when you think that things just can't get any worse, the problems keep on coming, and there seems to be no end in sight. But if only for a moment, forget all the drudgery, and refuse to give in, and don't get caught up in the daily disappointments. Each of our lives are different, we are separate from each other and yet one people. Affirmation is what we demand, "Show me" is something you say, and a voice rumbles back and says, "Find Me". You have been dislodged from your post, adrift, awash in the trials of life. 

  How you doin friend we say while passing each other in the street, do you know the way home? They say that home is where the heart is, but the heart is a lonely sailor. Buffeted by the same winds it creates while chasing after whims. The soul knows what the heart desires, it knows what the heart has forgotten, and so naturally, the heart is drawn to the soul, as it holds the essence of what it is that you want but cannot understand. It is that emptiness feeling that gnaws at us all. Each of us have it, that empty feeling that we don't understand and cannot explain. It is like a hole in ourselves, that we do not see, but desire to fill. And so we wind up chasing what we do not understand, it is this mutual longing that each of us have. Some how, some way, we must find an answer to this desire for a meaning beyond ourselves. This is common, and a way of life for all of humanity. It is the peace of mind we lack, a freedom from worry, an end to relentless doubt. 

  The emptiness and longing that you just can't put your finger on, is the same longing that calls us home. Each of us has heard this call in the distance, for some faintly, while for others the sharp sounding of a resonant bell. But this calling to return home is from the home you have never seen, for this calling is from an eternal home, it is meant to be our destination after the trials and tribulations of this life have come to an end. Unlike this home, our intended eternal home comes complete with safety and joy forever more, forever. This home that we long for is not of the here and now, this home that we desire without ever having seen is our eternal home. Our bones which have risen up from the dust of the earth will one day return there. But this is not our intended home, our only true home is where God is, and our Lord God who beckons us. it is he, Jesus, who once walked among us. For only He knows the way home, for our true desire is to return to our Creator, it is God Himself who is missing in our lives, and only Him, Jesus, can show us the way home. And this is all we have always wanted but could never quite understand. We want safety, we long for peace and understanding free from any doubt or worry, we want to go home, and only through and with Him can we find our heart's desire, Home, eternally, safe at home forever and ever. Amen and amen        

Perfect Timing

  If it hadn't have been too early, it would have been too late. Perfect timing, it is so hard to achieve. But imagine if you can, having the ability that whatever your interest, having the power to have these interests manifest themselves into reality. At the spare of the moment, like the snapping of a finger, that you could create a reality, alter any situation, and create it in such a way that the logic of it left no room for chaos or confusion. 

  What would you do with such a power, how would you go about setting the play into action? This kind of power is as the sun is to light, self evident, one as the other, the same. If you were the type of person that is cluttered and confused, the worlds and their realities would be as you are, cluttered in chaos. Your creation would be as a testament of your personality. 

  God has always had, and forever will have, this kind of power. Though for Him, rather than with the snapping of a finger, His way is by speaking His thoughts aloud as spoken words. The age old objection has always been, coming from some point in the past, that God and science were mutually exclusive. In truth, not only are they not exclusive of one to the other, in actuality, one confirms the other. This world, our galaxy, the cosmos. All are not in the meaningless confusion of chaos. In fact, they are in perfect order, everything is what it must be. To everything a purpose, for everything a place. In a word, Perfection. 

  No doubt by now, most of you have heard the term "fine tuned universe." This perfection of all that is no matter the size, is the point of the source of the frustration felt, by those who stubbornly hold to randomness, and the everything from nothing theory. They berate those who believe in a creator, and deny the existence of God. But make no mistake, those who hold to the notion that God and science are separate and different from each other are all just well educated fools. They make light of those who hold to a great designer, a Creator of everything that was and is, and has yet to come. Because rather than the two being exclusive of each other, it is quite the opposite, One verifies the other because they are a part of each other. They mock those who's faith is in God. But what is their faith, everything from nothing? 

  God is perfect, and so the cosmos and all of its realities is, as is, the source of the words spoken in the beginning. Perfect, finely tuned, not chaotic, but rather, perfectly said and done as they must be. Perfection personified as our living God. And just as He is perfect, so is all of creation perfect. The perfection of all that is, a creation made perfect by its Creator, a creation so precise and so accurate. The stuff of great thought, from the thinker alive before time. He is the Lord our God, perfect and pure, for He and he alone is worthy of all our praise, all power and glory are His, and He has made a way for all people to come to where He is. A way, the only way, for He is the Way.  Amen

Chapter Fifty Two,

   The turning point for our people is at hand. For those who dare read it, Psalms chapter fifty two is that, this chapter of the book, this is about them. They all know it, they just hold it inside. They keep the truth they know bound up with lies. 

  These are the connivers, the shrewd liars, they are thick, covered in spider webs. And then to the neutral, but for the neutral for politics sight. You must ask yourselves, " neutral for what"? 

  Sadly as a proud American I must tell you that this is true for far too many of you. When evil has become simply a way of life. Woe! Absolute crystal clarity has evaded you, you offer up your children on the altars of Baal. 

  What would you do with a people who have become so perverse, so twisted? Your politics aside, you have much more important things to consider. What would you do with such a blood thirsty gang? God will punish those who run to resist Him, He will punish those who resist truth at all costs. 

  Seriously consider this passage of scripture, take a good long look at yourselves before you look to others in judgement. There is but one true judge of us all, and He reigns from a place of stature, of perfection, and purity.    

Limits

   America, my countrymen and my friends. Greetings, it's a sad looking day this morning. Gloomy, lot of rain. The overcast sky looks like a concrete sky, the ceiling over the day has a look of disappointment. 

  Limits, even patience has its limits. The clock of recorded time, you know the one, the one that tics off the moments of your life, that clock. The never ending clock. This clock, this overseer of time. There is always a count down of sorts going on somewhere. But this clock is on a cosmic scale, this is the clock that calls from a place where there is no need of time. America my country, who is it you will choose to be? 

  The short term answers are political in nature, and the most obvious political fix is term limits. Try getting your Senators to vote for that.     

A Triune Nature

   Just thinking of the triune nature of our God. Three individuals, three faces. Now of course, recognizing the face of Jesus is easy as he was once one of us. A historical fact that no one disputes. He became one of us for about thirty three years. Jesus the man was born and died here. 

  The Holy Spirit? Much harder to see because he is like the wind. Unseen and yet felt all around. The Spirit may not be seen, but his presence cannot be denied. The holy spirit as like the wind, no one knows from where it came or to where it goes. The Holy Spirit cannot be seen, but again, his presence is all around us. 

  But what of the other personality, that of God the Father, the father who Jesus prayed to directly. How do we see Him? The question brought the thought to mind how the Bible speaks of marriage. Scripture tells us that it is to be as a three strand cord that should never be broken. A man and woman wrapping themselves around Jesus, that is the three strand cord that can never be broken. 

  And so it is with the Godhead. Jesus and his holy spirit entwine them selves around the Father, and that three strand cord can never be broken. Unlike the atom, God cannot be split. A three strand cord that can never be broken! All power and majesty are with the One. The God of our fathers, whole, three natures but one God. Who else can dare compare of Him? All power is His, all that is of light and none of what is total darkness. One God, one creator, one master of all, one grand designer, the builder of all. The life force around which everything revolves. Everything with him and through him, and without Him, nothing can be. He reaches over the curtain of time, for with Him there is no limit. Mighty and powerful God, awesome, filled with wonder and all glory. To know him is a blessing, to deny him a curse. Surely you have felt the rumblings, surely, unless of course, you are already dead. 

  Come to God, come to the living entity from beyond time. Come to him and learn, come sit at his feet in perfect comfort. Join Him in His realm, join Him, for with Him is everything that has or will ever be. But desire this as a fine place with understanding, knowing. That, the only way to get to God the Father is through the sacrifice of His only son. A sacrifice, a bridge, the only way, there is none other. Worship the sacrifice of your savior and be forever grateful. For, through Messiah is the path of eternity, and going with Jesus is the only way to get there.    

H. I. (Human Intelligence)

   The complexity of any issue should never dissuade you from wanting to understand it. No matter the entity or the thought, all complex matters consist of many simplicities. To follow any subject that interests you, begins with your understanding just one of the simpler more obvious parts within the whole. Now that your interest has been piqued from the understanding of this simple part, this leads to understanding the smaller seemingly unimportant parts of the larger problem. This process repeats it self over and over again, until at some point you realize that this once seemingly insurmountable mountain appears no longer as impossible, but rather, by the connecting of the most obvious smaller truths like dots one to the other, leads to the understanding of the larger complexities revealing themselves, from the questions raised by how one smaller point connects to the other. 

  It is at this moment of understanding, that the logic of reality dawns on you, that complex matters whether physical or conceptual, consist of many smaller more obvious truths, and that all the larger seemingly complex matters consist of many smaller simpler parts. And, it is by following them, and connecting the logic necessary from the questions raised, as to how and why these smaller truths connect one to the other, leads to understanding the whole of the matter. 

  Now that Google's Gemini, and also, other brands of so called artificial intelligence have shown themselves only as artificial, and by Google's machine having had pulled the curtain back, we find not a miracle machine, but rather the mad ravings of a fool, and further proving, that these so called marvels of technology are incapable of any real thought, but only the foolish bias of the human that programs it. Maybe this obvious fact will lead you to want to know if in fact there is a perfect unbiased and truthful super intelligence? If you put your faith in these machines that were so trumpeted, advertised as being the next greatest thing, which in reality are so lacking in truth of advertising. In truth, they are nothing more than a brilliant marketing ploy. These huge super computers can handle, sort and collate incredible amounts of data, and certainly have their place in math and science, but to consider them the place to turn for truth and understanding, is a fool's game at best, and extremely dangerous at worst.
