The age of Jesus
2000 years ago the age of man ended and the age of Jesus began.
Since then the world has changed dramatically.
It may have been said before by some saint.....if not then I will coin it first.
THE AGE OF JESUS, from the year 0000 to the year 3000+.

Why Does God take people away from you
Sometimes the Father takes the people you love the most.
In a conversation many years ago I was talking to a person who's very close family member was taken from them and the individual said something I have heard many other times; I don't understand why God took my sister, or mother, or dad, or wife, or grandmother, ect. ect.?,
Of course there are many reasons why God would do this and I have enumerated on some of those but never the less I was still uncomfortable that the full explanation that God is in control and His Sovereignty is absolute. In other words it does not matter what you and I think or want he is going to do what he has planned regardless. God Loves us and that there is more to it than just that is a fact. That he graces us with the ability to question his plan is extraordinary grace.
Never the less the least of the answer may also be the most important to us.
God Loves us and is a Jealous God. Though he loves everyone He wants our attention. He has things to teach us and wonders to show us and a great desire that we should be full of love, his love...Him..
God did not take any one out from your lives because he hated us but he Loves us. His Love for us is so great that He would hang himself on the cross and die for us.
It is selfish to think that if someone dies in this age of Jesus that God did not love them. In fact the works in that persons life and the works that He had assigned to that person on earth were finished and God in his awesome desire for a closer relationship with them required them to be with Him in Paradise.
For sons of God who's eternity is assured by Jesus; death no longer holds sway over them, and they are free to do the good things that they wish they could do without fear of the recriminations. The fear that this world would punish you and even kill you for being nice, or giving, or loving, or for telling them there is a guaranteed door and it is so easy to access.
The words are; Jesus save me, forgive me of my sins. Jesus is that door.
I don't know too much about other faiths or religions except that in the other religions one little mistake is all it takes for a man to not get in the door. In essence they are right. Where they are wrong is when they think that by works or good behavior can you save yourself. One itty bitty sin is all it takes to be kept out of forever paradise in their belief system. I don't know of one single person who was or is perfect nor have I met the perfect man or woman.
I wonder how many realize that God knew this when He began creation. That because of this God had to make a plan that plainly forgave men for not being able to be perfect, there would simply be no way for a man to enter into the Gates of Heaven, and Heaven would not have one single soul of a man.
That God gave unto the devil the power to cause all but one to sin, and I assure you that in this the devil has succeeded against all of mankind, 'but one'. That spirit of untruth reigns supreme in this one thing and one thing only, 'but for one'. He has caused everyone ever born to sin, 'but for one'. Jesus 'the only' begotten Son of God never sinned.
Only by the Fathers outright forgiveness is there any hope. The separating factor in following Jesus from any other belief is this one idiom. The realization that Jesus was God come to earth. Not to conquer by might but to conquer by His unswerving Love. And to prove his dedication to you by putting Himself to death. Yet to prove that he was God to raise himself up from death.
To die was the end before Emanuel, but today if you truly love your family then tell them this message: that death need not be the end for you. God died and raised himself up so that you could live in Paradise forever. Without acknowledging this you cannot be saved because by no word or work or faith of men can you be saved. You will be lost. No goodness can be had nor done that would make any difference in the end. Not any one's good works can atone. No penance can be made and no thing hoped for nor even the ongoing good intentions of your heart can save. Just Jesus. Jesus is the only absolution you need. Jesus is the only way.
The Beloved person that God took from you by death was not for evil but for good. The sorrow you feel is not bad. My servitude to God is this. I want you to know when someone dies; who gave there life to 'Jesus', did not die forever. They just aren't going to live here on earth anymore.
You can thank God for this because if you are saved as well you will see them again in the home that Jesus has gone on ahead of us all to build. You will join them there and for the first time in your existence know what true and lasting Joy really is.
Life on earth is hard for most and I have come to the conclusion that it was never meant to be easy. I think that If it were easy we would not look for answers to our heart ache and pain. If it were easy we would not look beyond ourselves and we would not look for God. If we never looked for God then we would not have been meant to live forever with Him.
But life is hard, we do look for answers, and we are looking beyond ourselves, and we are looking for God.....and we are meant to live forever. And by God By Jesus, we can live forever in paradise.
In summary
The person who was taken belonged to God and to claim them as yours in saying that I lost my beloved is folly. God loves you and wants you to spend more time with him not the one He took. He took them because He wants them with Him. In this you can look to look to God. You may have been looking to that person as a mentor and God may actually have been the one mentoring you through that person. Now it is time to look directly to God. Maybe that person could not help you grow any more than you have grown and God did not intend for it to be so.
God will finish His works in you directly.

Why we are at war in Iraq
I am not going to explain this. I am just going to state it.
The reason is because our Government turned it's back on the Constitution.
You figure it out from here.

Peace
I gave my wife this sermon last night.
Jesus hung himself on the cross and put himself in the most vulnerable position possible for a man to place himself in.
He expects no less from his brothers and sisters and all servants of the most high God.
I am an open book. I am so obsessively. The curse that I had as a victim was changed into a blessing.
I am open and have been since I fully dedicated my life to God as a young teenager. Though I have lapsed sometimes for a few months never the less God brought me back to a position of an open person.
The blindness of men looking for a persons angle and their fruitless mask insistant that everyone puts one on, can't see a person who doesn't have one.
I leave my life out in the open so that all may see who I am whether I am clean or not. the battle waxes and wains but ultimate victory is in God. the maker of Heaven and Earth The keeper of his flock and the master of the universe. He who giveth and taketh away. He who raiseth the good and the evil.
It is he who is out in the open, blinds the ones he so pleases and opens the eyes of whomsoever he pleases. It is he who bringeth forth whatsoever fruits he desires whenever he desires and Him men shall only worship.
In the recognition that there is only one God and to place faith in him and him only will anyone find true peace and true happiness.
The cross is the position of Peace for each and every man whomsoever it is given .

Portable Phones
Funny thing about women and the now ubiquitous wireless phones.
My wife just recieved a call from her momma. She won't put the phone down to go to the biff. She has a problem with loose and runny stools accompanied with copious amounts of gas. Noisy and ....you get the sound. She just takes the phone in with her and does her noisy thing. Apparently mom doesn't mind and you know mom can hear whats going on. At least the sound of the flush is unmistakable.
I think it's gross, but it fits with what I have seen in the women I know. They have a crap fixation.
Call it a pathos. An obsession with crap.
They remember it, and grade it, like there is hope in it.

Reputation
Do you stake your reputation on what you say?
I don't, I could be wrong.
I stake God's reputation on what I say. Why? Because only God could make me right, And I don't have to be responsible for the results because I can't make anything I say come true anyway.
Where do I get this? God is in control absolutely.
You know why people don't want to believe that?
They don't want to believe that a loving God would cause men to go through the trouble that they go through. Troubles that try men's soul, heart, beliefs, trust's, faith. To them to prescribe total control is to say that the evil that occurs under God's control is an imperfection and the idea that god may do an imperfection is fallacy. And God is infallible.
They would rather say that men have a will of there own. If you people are into absolutes and I haven't met anyone yet who wasn't. Even the people who say that there are no absolutes are being absolute about it. They create an oxymoron. I will say it this way. To say absolutely that there are no absolutes is to cause an exception. If there is one exception to no absolutes then the statement is not absolute and you travel one molecule forward and fall back one molecule. (Concurrently then there are absolutes. In fact there are a lot of absolutes. In fact the number of absolutes in this universe may be infinite).
In the realm of perfection, not a perfect thought. In all of the things that I have read and studied and tried to understand. It is more engineered and in engineering you don't have to be perfect only get close enough. And in this I have found a little treasure in a field, so to speak.
To try to be perfect in all things is impossible. But I can get some things perfect. I can say some things perfectly but if the rest of what I say is imperfect I can get the kudo I 'wanted to' and 'tried to'.
I reiterate the statement I made several years ago. "No man alive today is perfect but all men alive today are full filling the perfect will of God".
And what is the perfect will of God?
The tribulation. The judgement of men before God and the casting of everything he so chooses into eternal death. A burning lake of fire. All who escape eternal damnation both now and in the future are chosen and known to God. If they are already picked then they had no free will in the matter. If any have no 'free will' then none have 'free will'. There is no free will but for God and his will.
God's will be done. God's will will be done anyway.

Before you get into the bad luck of black cats. She ain't all black. Click for close up of Pearl the sweetest kitty on earth.
There in the background flies my flag. And contrary to others view that a light should shine on it at night and that it should be taken down in the rain, mine flies at night and in the rain because this flag is not a fair weather flag. We fight at night and in the day in the rain and in the shine. The United states of America better not be a fair weather friend. Otherwise we are just the land of the enslaved and the home of the Cowards.

Back to my -itches
Here is what I am talking about in the (matters of the heart)liars department.
If the enviroment is so screwed up then how come it is that Singapore an equally industralized area as anywhere in the U.S.. Has this going for it.
Life expectancy at birth:
total population average life expectancy: 81.62 years
male: 79.05 years
female: 84.39 years (2005 est.)
I'll tell you why!!!!
Because enviroment; air and water, have nothing to do with life expectancy!!!

Money and marriage
I have read and heard many articles and reports concerning the importance of good money practices in a marriage. But no where have I seen the item discussed in the manner in which I am about to.
Money is not the be all end all in life but there are many ways a person can say 'I love you' and I want to be with you all of the rest of my life.
Though Money is not God it is a form that man uses to insure the the future of the home in which your lives, your marriage, relationship, children, are sustained and preserved. Without money a person may find themselves in the unsettling and fearful predicament of wondering about survival.
If either spouse does not find value in husbanding their finances so as to provide for the hope of their future then the spouse whom is abusing the finances like an alcoholic is subliminally saying; whether they mean to or not, that they do not care for their future, themselves, their marriage, their spouse, or their significant other, leaving the spouse that does care and is trying with the 'feeling' that though they thought they were in this thing called life not alone.....alone. It threatens their survival their lives and their physical, mental/emotional health. It is literally life threatening.
That's right I said it is "life threatening". Want me to say it again? 'OK'. It is "life threatening".
Kind of like being the jackass pulling the plow while the farmer stands on it eating a sandwich and not paying any attention as to which way they are going. Better be a smart jackass otherwise the both of you will be in trouble.
Now I've ruined it, I am laughing too hard to continue.
