A PICTURE IS WORTH A 1000 WORDS






The Bible says not to make fun of or mock the ruler of your people. But Obama is not the ruler of my people. The rulers of my people call themselves "The Elite." I don't know all their names. Rockefeller is one of them. Soros is another one. What can I say about them? Nothing good at all.

Look at the look in Hussein's eyes. That says it all.

DREAM HOUSE





I woke up with a very vivid dream this morning. I was looking for a house to buy. I was in the Midwest somewhere, back home where there are trees and grass and rain. The house was in bad shape, and was being sold by a young woman with a small child. I was thinking of what to offer her, comparing it to my present home. I remember walking through the house and looking at all the rooms. I saw the attic and all the stuff she had stored up there. I saw a hole in the roof. I saw mold. I saw rain leaking in the ceiling. I saw the next door neighbor's house almost touching her house. I saw the old windows, the bad paint, the old carpet, and I decided to buy it because it was cheap. Two guys appeared in the end of the dream and offered their help to repair the house.

The dream reminds me of my desire for a nicer place to live, and my desire to retire eventually up north. My plans are to buy a house just like the one in the dream. A cheap house I can fix up and spend my last days in. A house I could afford and have paid off. I'll have my house paid off by the time I retire here in Arizona, but I don't want to spend my retirement here. There's no family and no place to go fishing here. I very rarely have dreams this vivid, and I feel like something is going to happen in the future that reminds me of this dream.

I have nothing to say today. Life is just a dream.

Another Week is Gone





Friday arrived at last. I am always happier on Fridays than on Mondays. I guess I like being able to sleep in on Saturday mornings. This is an unusual Friday. I am going out to eat. I don't often do that, but some of us from work are getting together. I'm sure we'll have a good time. This is a long weekend. MLK day is Monday. Then the inauguration is Tuesday. Obama will be handed the keys to the White House, and his wife will get busy redecorating. Today was another beautiful day in Arizona. It was -26 below where I used to live, without the wind chill. That's why I live in the desert. I got spoiled to good weather when I lived in California. Arizona has never had a recorded fatality due to earthquakes. I like it here.

Waiting to Retire





This is what I plan on doing once I retire. Right now it's what I live for. I don't get a chance to go fishing now, because there's no place to go around here. Someday, I'll have all the time I need to fish all I want. This picture of me and my cousin was taken quite a few years ago. I'm the good looking one.

NEW BLOG IS KINGDOM REALITY





I now have a new blog called Kingdom Reality. It's a place where I'm posting sections of the book I wrote of the same name. I've been experimenting with template designs on the blogs here. I'm sure they will change as I tweak and find a template that is all my own.

I have started learning some HTML. It's easy if you try.

If you look under my profile, it will list the blog of course.

ONE YEAR CLOSER





I'm one year closer to my goal. There is only one goal left in my life. To die. For to live is Christ, and to die is gain. That's the only reason to live. I'm 365 days closer to seeing Jesus than I was a year ago. This has been the quickest year of my life. They say that happens as you get older. Time moves faster. Time is my best friend. Each heartbeat brings me one heartbeat closer to eternity and the joy that awaits me. Every day brings me closer to immortality.

The wicked have no hope. They know that when they die, every good thing they have ever known will be gone. It is good for them that they believe a lie. It is a good thing for the wicked to be deceived. IF they truly believe in their heart that there is no God, no Heaven, no Hell, no everlasting reward or eternal punishment, then that is a good thing for them. It allows them to live their lives without fear of death. But have you ever seen an unbeliever who is not afraid to die? In their heart and mind is that seed of doubt about what death holds for them.

So I pray this year goes by even faster than the last. Each day brings me closer to my destination. I am not afraid of death, and I don't worry about what life may bring. A thousand years from now I'll be where I want to be. With my Creator.
