Recent Text Message from My Wife

The cop at Kroger told me that a little girl was all upset in there saying I want bla bla I want bla bla. He could make out what she was saying but she was throwing a fit for her dad. He walked over and said what's the matter with you and she said I want my Mommy and he said Oh, well where's your Mommy at? The little pointed up and the police man looked up and she said my Daddy said she went to heaven. I about lost it when he told me this. I guess this recently happened.

All I have to do is Dream?

I just woke from a dream that was a might bit spooky.

For some reason, --dictation of dreams always seem to start this way-- I was climbing the side of a steep mountain in a snowstorm. Close to the top of this mountain was a wide plateau. When I made it to the ledge, I could see my youngest brother walking toward me. It appeared as though he was living there, and I believe that he even had a cup of coffee in his hand.

The next immediate part of the dream was that the entire canyon had filled with snow, right up to the level area we were standing on! It appeared as if you could walk right across it! And my brother, tried to do just that.

I saw him disappear, headfirst, into the snow. I could hear his muffled screams as he sank deeper, and the color of his coat slowly disappeared. Soon, I could no longer hear or see anything. I remember being extremely distraught!

Not sure how much time passed, but I finally decided to yell for him. Soon after, I could make out his voice. Some of the snow had turned to slush, and I could see him splashing through it, finally reaching the plateau. I then I woke up in a highly anxious state.

Am I being a good brother? Have I called out to him enough to direct him toward safety? Is this my subconscious, revealing pent up guilt in a dream? Or was it just another dream?

Happy Please Gain Some Perspective Day!!

OK. I realize that when a corporation instructs its employees to abstain from saying "Merry Christmas", that it is basically a slap in the face to me, and the majority of people in this culture. But I wish we would utilize this same fervor to combat REAL dangers to our way of life; like the recent Islamic pushes for Sharia courts in our Justice System, or the legalization of Same Sex so-called Marriage. If people would combat Abortion like we go after "Happy Holidays" companies, maybe Roe v Wade would have already fallen.

Just seems Odd to me

Judge Not the Juggernaut

        Anyone who wastes time in front of the TV like I have has probably been exposed to the "Don't Judge" commercials that try to keep us in line with the new social value of Toleration. The commercial I witnessed attempted to drive the message home that Homosexuality is valid and that by believing it to be wrong; you are being intolerant, which is a "bad" thing. Some will fall for this, others will not.

 

I would like to admit that I believe in a certain way that we should not judge others. I believe; like most people, that Slaves should not have been judged as non-persons, which removed their rights under our Constitution. It was also wrong for Hitler and the Nazi party to judge the Jews as sub-human and subject them to a horrific brutality. I also believe that it is wrong to judge the weakest of us as non-persons as well.

 

Children in the womb are the weakest among us and are denied person-hood so that they can be killed through abortive procedures. The commercials I mentioned earlier are in effect; trying to keep people from being embarrassed or upset by some who believe homosexuality to be a mental disorder. Although I pity their situations at times; I have exceedingly more pity for a helpless child facing burning saline solution and flesh-tearing tongs. But there I go again, facing the Juggernaut.

 

The "Noble" Stance of Ignorance?

Some things are complicated. Religion, Politics and Social Issues are difficult to sort through. I once knew a person who struggled for hours with the programming on a VCR, but when a religious question would come up, they refused to devote any mental energy answering it. I am going to make a bold statement by saying that the Soul, which by most reckonings exists FOREVER, should be more important than a football game or soap opera. Politics and certain Social Issues have some importance as well.

To some people, it may sound mysterious, or cool to hear a person rant about the "Religions of Men" or exclaim "It's all about money anyway", but to me; these statements only create more questions.

First Question: Have you actually sat down and thought about what you are saying? It is easy for us to make snap decisions from a few 30 second news blurbs, or a passing thought, but have we really spent time reasoning them through? We must discern the importance of an issue, and then give it the time that it deserves.

My other question is this: Do you realize how important it is to include yourself in the collective thought on important issues? For example; we can ignore the details of "Hate Crime Legislation" and then one day awake to find out that our opinion on certain things has actually become illegal. While we sit in blissful indecision, our rights are being yanked away from us at breakneck speeds. But let's take the "intellectual" non-committal approach and pretend we have evaluated all opinions, and smugly wave off any sticky questions as argumentative.

Yes Virginia, there are things we are intellectually responsible for; else our Souls, Community, and Social Values become in danger. This link is a good example of what could happen in our country if we keep silent about our Christian values and allow other religious cultures to fill the void.
