Symptoms of a Generational Attack on the American Culture

Completed my annual prison update orientation today. We are being told the new inmates coming into the system are different from previous generations. The one word summary used = “they are unchurched”!

Reflection – and you won’t hear this in church, where happy talk is the model of this modern era — translation the secular progressive movement in our nation has been highly successful in dismantling the cornerstone fortress’s (family and church) which historically protected not only children but civilization.

Seems so many have forgotten our nation really was founded upon a christian/judeo philosophy – freedom of religion and liberty grounded in personal responsibility. Is that taught in school anymore?: For the new age folks – this is a very old story being repeated under our noses lead by the ever sophisticated Hollywood glamor class with values one can find in a septic tank! Oh – if it feels good do as much as you can with as many as you can — there are no consequences and it doesn’t matter who you do it with.

Shut my mouth, should I speak in terms of a philosophy passed on as ages old wisdom and knowledge of “right or wrong” or heaven forbid I use the words “virtue or sin”. The progressives and the young will either try to shut me up or run for the nearest safe zone.

Folks are just misunderstood is the progressive answer! They better watch out – cause the gangs have no respect for safe zones either.

Division in America and Removal of Prayer

Heard Trump say the division in our nation stared before Obama. Then I heard a bone head pundit say it started when Bill Clinton was impeached!

Gosh, I still remember the 1960’s when the secular progressive movement succeeded in scaring people into thinking they couldn’t pray in government schools. I pray everywhere I go – even in a government prison.

Today, I received an official briefing on the impact to the long term removal of prayer – young inmates have no idea how to pray when they need it the most. For many of them the new church is a gang where at lest someone there recognizes they exist.

Assimilation 2017

Do the American people understand what assimilation is? People came to the USA for what America is and not what they left behind.

Grand children pay attention please!

My grandparents came to the USA from Belgium before the turn of the 20th century. They settled in a Belgium settlement and spoke the native language. My father told me he and his brothers refused to speak that language though they could understand it. It was because they wanted to be Americans first. Many years later my father told me he regretted giving up his native tongue but never regretted his loyalty to his new country. Further he told me the Italians and Polish kids did the same though sometimes they clashed because that is what kids do.

American values were and still are christian/judeo values which guarantee the right to life which includes freedom of religion (WHICH MEANS WHAT ONE DOES OUTSIDE OF CHURCH) did not allow anyone to kill anyone for any reason except in self defense.

Secular progressives want to redefine assimilation and freedom of religion to be undermine christian/judeo values and limit religion strictly to what one does in church. They obviously do not like the original founding of America. Separation of church and state is a restriction on the government and not on the people.

Boy do we have problems with those who seek to confuse those who do not know the history of this nation.

Selfie Generation

Our nation seems to be being run over with intolerance. It seems to be exploding everywhere. We call it being PC (which can change from day to day). I have long suspected part of the reason is the advance and acceptance of new technology – smart phones, FB, E-Mail, Texting and many others. These are social media technologies that lack any real human interaction with another real person who we can touch and they us. i.e. our nations social people skills, especially those of our children are being undermined at an alarming rate by the ease of dealing with cyber space technology rather than an old fashioned encounter with real walking talking breathing people.

Check out our college campuses.

Social technology eliminates body language. People communicate 600 + times more through body language than they do with the words they use. Technology cancels out body language which places us all at risk. Body language tells us if someone is kidding, pulling our leg, pushing our buttons, playing with us, while emotions can not be hidden. By the time we are two, we already interpret body language without thinking. Body language tells us very quickly just how well our messages is being received and interpreted and allows us to make immediate adjustments.

In a way we have become so smart so fast with technology that we have left the humanity of the person in the middle of the busiest freeway unprotected and said good luck hope all ends well for you as you try to escape the collisions you are creating.

We are suffering from believing we are now so empowered, so smart and so sophisticated that we are running the risk of destroying the dignity of our own humanity and replacing it with intolerance for any ones opinion but our own.

This is the definition of the newest word = “selfie” – it is all about me for I have become God.

Wisdom suggests we take away your children’s technology (maybe our own) from time to time so we can be sure they have to deal with real people other than just selfie.

It is amazing – Even old people have fallen in love with selfie.

We were not brought into the world for selfie – we were brought into the world to give selfie away – it’s called love one another as I loved you (while you crucified me).

Dear Snowflakes

Dear Snowflake; You know who you are! You gorged yourself with the idealism of the world enlarging yourself in the process of your up and down formation ultimately being elevated to the top of a pedestal before beginning your necessary fall. Each and every snowflake is uniquely created pure and white as the snow. Gracefully you float on the wind bringing beauty and sparkle to all to who are able to see and behold. In the excitement of your creation you became so filled with your beauty the purpose of your creation, your true destination is not your problem.

Oh yea, an encounter with the reality of the world below with the real possibility of being collectively gathered with your friend snowflakes into a frozen ice prison or a more rapid reality encounter with an enemy of the human kind. The most feared end – the warm of the human touch which can assure instant death for a snowflake and the rapid transformation into the source of your beginning.

The formation of all life –> water –> the breath of God passing over the well spring of new life for every creature. Water that can quench the greatest thirst of one dying in the desert of life or of another in need of being washed clean from the grime and dirt the forsaken collect on life’s journey as they pass through the valley of darkness anxiously looking for some source of light and the possibility of new life. Oh dearest snowflake, never ever become discouraged for without your beginning the ultimate hope of the redemption of lost souls is not possible.

Aunt Hope

I had an Aunt Hope! She had seven children – I lost count because I left home. She was a wise woman and really knew where “Hope” resides. She was Christian and Catholic – obviously she had a bunch of beautiful children. Hope knew where hope lives! It lives in the spirit of truth, revealed in the life of the one who came at Christmas. Hope can abound in each and every person willing to open themselves to the risk of loving others.

Those searching for hope – please search your heart for the doorway placed there at birth! You will know it when you find it – it looks like a mirror reflecting the image of God and can only be detected in the twinkle of ones eye when they have found it!

A Star is Born

Today is January 6th, 2017. Epiphany – an extraordinary “Ah Ha” moment. Little did I notice when my oldest son was born on January 6, 1968 at Kadena AFB Okinawa. We lived in a second floor apartment off base near Naha AFB. When we brought our son home, my wife got out of the car and went upstairs to the apartment. I got my son out of the car. I looked up and it was a crystal clear night with a million stars shinning brightly in the night. I lifted my son high above my head and offered him to the creator of life more abundant. I will give back to you what you gave to me this night! I carried a vocation card in my wallet for 27 years remembering my son and the dream of that night. God is tricky – he called my son to be the most independent rascal I have ever known. A gift to the world and willing to walk on his own two feet. And to me he gave a calling that floated on the wings form the spirit of that night and continues this day. In 1995 I no longer needed to carry that card any longer for I had been captured. Yep He sets us up long before we begin to detect who we were called to be! I wish all an “Ah Ha” gift to all – – ponder life’s precious gifts and the creative trickery of a God who reveals his spirit in the breath of the wind upon ones cheek!

Dear Snowflakes

A father who loves his children knows that from time to time he must disciple his children. A child knows discipline is love. It takes real wisdom and courage to be a father. He knows he will upset the apple cart and possibly create a significant emotional event. But a wise father knows there are no short cuts if he wants his children to grow up to be able to use fully their god given talents and a critical thinking capacity.

In our modern world we have many old and young children who are being described as snow flakes. They are each uniquely beautiful and they even sparkle like a stars. Yet a wise father knows they are trapped and have greater potential yet. For they are created of a special kind of fluid with the potential to create new life. He knows tough they are beautiful as a snowflake they could remain remain frozen,inflexible and incapable of creating new life outside themselves. Snowflakes are locked into a selfie state and must die before they can create new life!

A wise father knows he must create a kind of fire that will melt a snowflake thereby restoring it to it’s natural fluid state. Water the wellspring of new life when the breath of God passes over. A father who loves his children knows the action required may necessarily create a significant emotional event for the snowflake. After all he must find a way to generate the necessary internal heat and then stand back having faith the God who created humanity works wonders in the midst of a fire.

Everyone gets a Gift

 

God gives everyone gifts. Sometimes it takes years to figure out the gifts we are given. God gave me a gift to let go! I didn’t know I had this gift until I was in the midst of discerning God’s call to speak his message that I didn’t know I already knew. God had blessed me with a gift of becoming a rain maker. Funny the term rain. It’s water the well spring of new life. In this case it was money, jobs, funding and a benefit to the work I did. I birthed, developed and created an idea, a concept using the analytical skill of observation. An art form if you will of being able to see what others can not see.

When one births such a baby, one becomes attached to that baby – after all it was my baby. But God wanted me to learn and do something else. So he gave me a test. Will you give up your baby to serve a greater baby? Well that’s not how I saw it then. Man I didn’t want to give up that baby!

But God knew something about me I didn’t know. I was riding on an airplane back from Washington D.C. and tears began to roll down my cheeks. I now know my spirit was giving up that baby and the tears were telling me to trust that I was being sent to bring good news that new life is always possible for those willing to open their eyes and ears to see the spirit working in our world.

So what baby are you holding onto? Can you let that baby go?

I let that baby go and a few years later that baby came back to me seeking new life!

Tooth Fairy

Yesterday I had a tooth extracted – fancy word for yanked out!!!!!! Lifting dumbbells gives one the strength to pull hard. Big Boys don’t cry right!! I was told to take some pain medication before the pain took hold. So I did! It made me talk and think goofy! Ask my wife. Here’s some food for thought!

Well I didn’t run to a special safe zone reserved for the alleged sensitive feminist nature of men – are you kidding me? Fear of a micro aggression no one can see! Just who is that self declared wise man who defines a micro aggression? My fathers wood shed is still available where real lessons in life can be taught!

Just what spirit has invaded our land that seeks to dismantle the nature of real men and women willing to stand up for the truth? And just how silly is it to admit one is afraid of a micro aggression that apparently is so small it can not be seen in a world where real evil is cutting the heads off of real courageous men and real woman willing to die for their faith in a God who came to testify to the truth to a world full of people so fearful of losing power they had to invent a micro aggression as an excuse to continue to kill His spirit today!

Yep truth is, even Big boys cry over real evil and stand in awe of real men and real women who have the courage to give ones life that we all might be free to hear the truth!

Has America the land of the free and the brave forgotten Jesus told the world the truth will set us free? Goofy right!
