Out of the black and into the grey. Shades of grey, like the grey of a day when snow is on the way. Grey is the blending of absolutes, One white, one black, one right, and one wrong. In this way, you could rightly call agnostics grey. A copulation of black and white, right and wrong, like the Ying and Yang insignia that looks like circling tadpoles?
These I will never understand? Apparently, they are content to leave a lot of statements ending with a question mark? This condition is not limited only to the subject about the existence of God, but rather, permeate our society with all manner of subjects. The real problem for these wishy washy types, is that each time they are content to not decide something, they become a little less capable of deciding anything.
So, grey is the blending of extremes, and some will have more of one, while others more of the other. The importance of coming to a decision, is only of any relevance when the subject at hand, is important to all. But here's the thing about how your Ying, representing truth, and your Yang, representing what is wrong, affects you personally, and how much importance you give to the desire of being more right then wrong. How much of you is right, verses, how much of you is content to live with half truths, is best answered by a question. Which do you think is the most dangerous, a well fed dog, or a starving one?

Two Dippers
Have you ever been secondary to the primary? Have you ever yearned for something, so close that you can taste it, and yet so far from reach? What reasons come like a rainfall's fall, what past remembrances still hurt today, when they pour back down in remembrance? These moments are always recalled with thoughts like, Why not, if only, and if only I could go back in time, I would have done things differently. You think to yourself, I was a fool, and I let it slip through my fingers. I would have, I should have, I could have, but didn't. How final a place like that can be. Sometimes still, even though that chance was long ago, a part of you still wonders and thinks, Could I change it, maybe there's still a chance?
I'm sorry to have to do this to you, as I'm sure that the above had a point there somewhere? But something has come up, so I'm about to switch gears. I had just come in from the outside, where I had been blowing smoke into the sky, and noticed that the moon had disappeared from my sky? Only about two hours before, it shone bottom cresent like a smile, located as would be the noon day sun. But here again, only a short amount of time later, and the moon was nowhere to be found? I checked and looked from horizon to horizon, and still I could not find the moon? If that weren't enough, the night sky here tonight is crystal clear dark blue, and looking up again, I noticed that the stars looked very different tonight, as I couldn't find the dippers either?

Road Signs
Jesus no longer politely knocks at the door to your heart, but pounds now with urgency! It is a foregone conclusion to him, as he already knows what you will decide, but still, the opportunity knocks. So you may ask yourself, what does he want, what is so important?
The troubles in the world, and all of the troubles it brings to your life, are signs. Signs like deep sounding bells, now ring out clearly across the land. It rings through to all lands, as it has gone world wide. It is a phenomenon, that takes in all others, it is a world gone mad!
How many of the heavenly signs like billboards must you pass on the highway of life, before you stop to read them? How is it that you do not see the warnings? Are you blind to truth, are you dumb? What else must happen before you see?
So, you might well ask, Why do I tell you these things? But then, if you really don't know, then you may be one without hope. Here is what the people of God know, that you had better learn quickly.
The Kingdom of God has not been this close since God gave his gift to mankind. But this time, the Kingdom of Heaven does not draw close to witness the new beginning, that beginning that came with the berth. For that beginning, that last chance has just about run it's course. And with this next visitation, the Kingdom of God draws close to witness the end of the beginning.
I ask you personally, Consider the signs, Wake up and live, it is your decision.

Aware and Alone
Life is time, and time is life, they are interchangeable you see? They are one in, and of the same. For they are relatives, that is to say, What is life to you? Isn't it all that is relative to you and your experiences?
I have told you already, that relativity is little more then a tick of time. As to how many ticks you'll see, has to do with how many ticks you have. You see, all life is to you, is relative to your point of view. And your point of view is limited by the time you spend in this life. Are you starting to understand? I am explaining to you one of the secrets known only to the family of God. But what is relative to you, and how you perceived those encounters, is relative only to you, and it will be quite different from another.
But beyond what is relative to this life, is what is relative from the eternal point of view. Now, because you are eternal, all life is eternal. But likewise, all life is perceptual. All perception is, is life as it occurs to you. But there are limitations to this freedom, that exist even in the spiritual world. Also, there is a down side to eternal life, and that being, an eternal death, darkness without clarification, is also a reality. You must remember, that even in the spiritual world, life and time are linked like twins. And so, just as in this life, you can only perceive eternal life, one moment, one tick at a time.
What happens upon your acceptance of God, through Christ his son, is that you become spiritually aware, at the moment of recognition. Then, and only then, can you come to understand life's secrets from the eternal side. Life, whether temporary, as in this life, or eternal, as in the next, are both perceptual. And because of the limitations of perception, we can only perceive what is relative to that moment. But along with the relativity, and the perceptions from that relative moment, there is a perception of eternal life, as seen from eyes made fully aware of everything, but there is also the opposite, an eternal death. It is a perception of eternal darkness, while all the time that is, is time spent alone, unseeing, and non-understanding, of all that you perceive. Eternal darkness, all the time aware, aware and alone.

Fearful Leader
It occurs to me, that perhaps I'm a little hard on the pres? Afterall, there are some good things that he has accomplished, and I would be without a good reason to not point those out also. He has single handedly, done more damage to the ideology of the left, then any conservative could ever hope to do. The hypocrisy of the left, again, thanks to Barack, has never been more evident. Want proof? The recent problems of his adoring press, came to an all too obvious end, with the falls of such lefty luminaries as Brian Williams, Jon Stewart, and the like. Want more proof? Any of you who are of the occasional cocktail crowd, have noticed that most all of your lefty friends, have become strangely quiet? There is a reason for this, the guy is beyond any rational defense! I knew it was over for our leader, when no less the Chris Matthews of the agenda driven MSNBC, questions the very man who once gave him chills.
I mean, come on gang, it's over! So what is a good lefty to do? Having been from their camp, I will tell them what I know to be positive. It was Jimmy Carter who brokered a deal to bring Anwar Sadat and Menachim Begin together, and that was quite an accomplishment! Even though, Anwar Sadat was executed at a public event, and Carter was shamed by Iran's Ayatola, A guy named? I can't remember his name? But back then, most Americans knew him as Ayatola Ass-A-Hola. But the point is, that diplomacy works. Unfortunately, Mr. Sadat, as is today's Egyptian President, was a moderate Muslim that you hear so much about. But we are not dealing with moderates here, but rather, zealots of that faith. They call themselves Islamists, and what they want is a Caliphate Islamist state, just as the Ayatola did, back in the Carter years. There is nothing new here in the politics. But this is not a political problem only. If it were, it could be corrected swiftly. What it is, is a Holy war spilled over from the spiritual world into the physical. The moderate Muslim countries know this is Islamist extremism, the President of Egypt has asked publicly for the United States to lead with our technologically superior military, and our military expertise. The president of Egypt wants America to lead, but you can not do that from behind. There is no way to semantically spin this meaning. To lead is to be out front, otherwise, no one will follow with any real resolve. There is a void left in the sane world. It was caused by our absence. If we don't fill this void soon, if we wait another two years for this clown to get out, it may well be too late? Nuclear Iran anyone?

Out Hunting
When the winter's chill turns frigid, it cleans all the germs from the landscape. It is the precision of life, all that it creates, it can also destroy.
So I've been out hunting lately, scrolling in the parlance of the media. Along the way, I picked up a 9/11 truther or two, and their polar opposites, the purveyors of the Chem Trail tales. Much as I do enjoy a good conversation, what can you say to such an extremist point of view? I figure, why scatter your pearls among swine?
But of all the extremist points of view, there is none I enjoy more then the evolutionists. Now I do know, that if you were to take this statement strictly from a mathematical point of view, then the evolutionists must surely be right? This is not surprising, as most, especially those younger then my generation, have been taught nothing but, evolution. But we are not looking at it from the most popular point of view, but rather, from a perspective of common sense.
As I understand it, there are two points of view held by scientist regarding the Big Bang. One says that two particles of energy, found each other in the vastness of space, and collided, causing a catastrophic explosion. The other, though similar, is quite different. This point of view stems from what is now known about atoms. That being, that it wasn't two bodies, but one very small one, that became so compressed, that it reached its breaking point and exploded! And from this explosion, as with the other theory, all matter came. All the millions of solar systems, the planets and the suns, and eventually, life itself. But this explosion was like none before and none after, because out of it did not come chaos, but order? Now that is a giant belief sandwich to eat, and if you are honest with yourself, it takes a ton of faith! It is the very idea of order, that the Cosmos by design, makes infinitely more sense. Because if you are one who thinks of the reality of God as a myth, then you are left with a boat load of unanswerable questions. All of which, without any answers as of yet, that you must be content to chalk up to, It is a mystery?
The Creation side of the argument has answers. And that is, that there exists an intellect far beyond mortal men, who dwells everywhere and in everything, even though his primary realm is in the spiritual world. The spirit world exists, you can call it another dimension, or you can call it what you will? But keep this in mind while contemplating the matter, Einstein knew it existed, and he knew a thing or two about atoms.

The Fight
I've been thinking awhile about what this one should be about. At first I was going to do a fictional piece which takes place in the year 2026, ten years after the election of infamy, a Orwellian type of tale. But I decided to do a book with that one. Being a glutton for punishment, I'm going to try and self publish again. The first attempt I'm still recovering from? My first experience was not a good one, but who knows, maybe soon I'll have a book on the shelves with the rest? Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, why not me?
What I decided instead, was to tell you a part of a dream I had. It was a scene from one of those Pro Wrestling venues, and it was me verses the President. I was dressed like Captain America, and he was called, Sheik Runaround. That's it. Meaning, that is all of the dream I can remember, so from here on we'll have to wing it, as now I am fully awake. Now the match differs, in that it is more like scholastic wrestling match, where a score is kept for take downs and the like. As I look up at the score board, I am winning quite handily. In fact, the score is fourteen to zip! Now this shouldn't surprise any of you, because I didn't tell you about the costumes we were wearing from the dream. Anyway, as I said, I'm dressed in a Captain America type of get up, and him? Oh man, this is too funny! He is dressed in Mommie jeans, and he's wearing a pink bicycle hat. Let me ask you something, Who do you think won the fight?
