THE CHRISTIAN IDEAL

                                                                          THE CHRISTIAN IDEAL

                                       "The Christian ideal," wrote Harold Begbie.
                                       has not been tried and found wanting:it has

                                       been found difficult and left untried."

                                       In every generation, there are those who
                                       would scoff at Christianity and label it pass'.
                   
                                       But there are those of us who have tried 
                                       Christianity, and while finding it difficult,
                                       have found it most satisfying. 
 
                                       Christianity needs no substantive apologetics,
                                       no philosopher's eloquent argumentation, no
                                       lawyer's sure defense.

                                       For, you see, two thousand years ago, Christianity
                                       was defended perfectly through the teachings and
                                       life of one man, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living
                                       God.

                                              PSALM 119 TZADDI:137,140,141,142,144

                           Righteous art thou, O Lord
                             and upright are thy judgments
                             
                               Thy word is very pure, therefore
                                 thy servant loveth it

                                  I am small and despised
                                   yet do not I forget thy precepts
              
                            Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness
                              and thy law is truth
                            The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting
                              give me understanding and I shall live

A PORTION OF OURSELVES

11/26/2016

                                                  A PORTION OF OURSELVES

                                    In writing about giving, Ralph Waldo Emerson
                                    wrote...
                                    
                                    "The poet brings his poem
                                    The shepherd, his lamb
                                    The farmer, corn
                                    The miner, a gem
                                    The sailor, coral and shell
                                    The painter, his picture
                                    The girl, a handkerchief
                                         of her own sewing"
                                   
                                    We find it amazing that so many
                                    of us often attempt to offer God
                                    and man some other person's
                                    talent.  
                                 
                                    At times, we try so hard, too hard,
                                    to change our personality while trying
                                    to be someone else other than ourselves,
                                    which turns out to be incompatible to
                                    God's plan for our lives.

                                    If and when God calls upon us to use
                                    our or services, let us just give, as best
                                    we can, a portion of ourselves.

                                   THANKSGIVING (1979)
                                           
                                   Our kind Heavenly Father,
                                   We have come to the end of another decade.
                                   We affirm unto Thee that this past decade
                                   has been one of abundant blessings.
                                   We are grateful that for most of the past ten
                                   years, our sons and daughters have been 
                                   spared the horrors of war.
                                   We are grateful for this beautiful, magnificent
                                   country. We are highly favored to be living in
                                   America.
                                   We are grateful, that, in this land, the Bible is
                                   an open book, and the Church has open doors.
                                   We are grateful for the freedom of speech and
                                   press, and for the freedom to pursue happiness
                                   as we please.
                                   May we bless Thee in the eighties as Thou hast
                                   blessed in the seventies.
                                   We thankfully pray, in the name of Jesus Christ.
                                   Amen.

THANKSGIVING (2016)

                                   THANKSGIVING (2016)
           
                                   Dear Heavenly Father,
                                   We are truly thankful for the blessings
                                   of this past tumultuous year.
                                   We are certainly glad the election is
                                   over. 
                                   We hope thou wilt soften the hearts
                                   of all Americans. Help us pursue peace,
                                   and desire prosperity and contentment
                                   for all of our citizens regardless of their
                                   political or religious persuasion.
                                   Several of our relatives and friends have
                                   passed away this year. We mourn with
                                   those who mourn.
                                   It has become most evident to us that
                                   nearly everyone on earth cannot escape
                                   struggling from time to time. We realize
                                   that nearly every person on earth carries
                                   wounds. They deserve our compassion
                                   and concern, and the healing balm which
                                   only thou art able to give them.
                                   Help us to rely more on thee in the 
                                   coming year. Let the new year be
                                   well with all our souls.
                                   In the name of the one who truly cares
                                   for each of us, even Jesus Christ.
                                   Amen.

                                                         PSALM 119 AIN:124,127,128

                                           Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy,
                                              and teach me thy statutes

                                           Therefor, I will love thy covenants above gold,
                                              yea, above fine gold
     
                                              Therefore, I esteem all thy precepts
                                                 concerning all things to be right
                                                    and I hate every false way

WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN?

                                                                      WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN?
​
                                      In our lifetime, so far, we have seen three
                                      major wars, millions of people die of starvation,
                                      and, worst of all, we have witnessed man's terrible
                                      inhumanity toward man...his ability to be cruel for
                                      the sake of the state, or some philosophy, or just
                                      for the sake of being cruel.

                                      But...But, we have also seen the glory of the
                                      coming of the Lord. After nineteen centuries, we
                                      have witnessed the literal fulfillment of prophecy...
                                      we have seen Israel regain her homeland, and enter
                                      in, once again, into the holy city of Jerusalem.

                                      And personally, in our own lives, we have had 
                                      daily prayers answered, and seen the intervention
                                      of God into our daily lives, so much so that we may
                                      joyfully utter the words of King David, who said...

                                      "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I
                                      not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging

                                      bread." (Psalm 37:25)

AUTUMN AFTER ALL

                                                AUTUMN  AFTER ALL
 
                                       Snow appears on the mountain tops
                                       As leaves begin to fall
                                       Pumpkins orange appear once more
                                       And it's Autumn after all

                                       Hues of red, green, yellow, blue appear
                                       Upon our lawns in piles wide and tall
                                       So what's a dapper fellow like me to do
                                       For indeed, it's Autumn after all

 
                                       As winter waits it's chilly turn
                                       Speckled owls begin their call
                                       I become excited and filled with glee
                                       For it's Autumn after all

TRUMP WINS ONE FOR THE DEPLORABLES

11/12/2016

                                                 TRUMP WINS ONE FOR THE DEPLORABLES

                                 November 8,2016 was indeed a great day for
                                 the Deplorables. For on that day they elected
                                 their champion, Donald J. Trump, to become
                                 the 45th President of the United States.
                                
                                 They did it without any help from the America's
                                 Socialist Party (a.k.a. the Democrats). They 
                                 won the esteemed prize of the Presidency by
                                 running under the banner of the Go Along-Get 
                                 Along Party (a.k.a.The Republicans), who really
                                 are primarily interested in the prestige, perks,
                                 and the humongous retirement package they
                                 give themselves on their retirement.

                                 What can we say about Donald J. Trump?
                                 I know--- He knows a winner when he sees one. 
                             
                                 Both the Socialists and their sympathizers and
                                 advocates (Main Stream Media) and the Deplorables
                                 (defenders of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of
                                 Rights, as envisioned and produced by our Founding
                                 Fathers), realized that this election was concerning
                                 the continuation of this Republic or its possible
                                 extinction. 
 
                                 From beginning to end, this was President-elect
                                 Trump's election. But, I believe he was simply 
                                 the chosen voice for those whom our politicians
                                 and media so desperately desired to drown out
                                 into oblivion. But this time, The Deplorables spoke
                                 loud and clear through Mr. Trump, and this time
                                 their voices were heard.  
                      
                                 Long live the Deplorables, and thank you, Mr. Trump.
