How does one Stop a Charging Elephant?

Nature is truer than fiction – think about it a while and as you read on!

Maybe you heard this joke when you were a young man like me.

How does one stop a charging elephant?    Take away his “Credit Card” was the answer.

Not the greatest joke I ever heard!

But who would ever have thought it would really be necessary to stop a charging elephant by taking away it’s credit card?  Well who would think such?

Oh!  Oh!  Let’s put it another way.  Who would have thought it would be necessary to stop a charging donkey taking steroids by taking away it’s credit card?  Can you believe it a donkey is more efficient at charging than an elephant?

Somebody hit the reset button.  Can this be true?

Is it possible we are there!  The donkeys and the elephants seem to have lost the concept of being a civil let alone understanding their role as a servant to the people.  Respectful and responsible are words they avoid.

It appears they have over many years come to expect the people to tolerate their behavior as drunken sailors on shore leave.  But it’s really worse, these sailors don’t run out of money ever, they believe they have the authority to just keep charging and printing new money like there is no day of reckoning.  Accelerator to the floor –  but is anyone looking our the front window at the cliff dead ahead?

The real question is — are we just going to lie down and let them run over us and spend our grand children’s money or worse bankrupt the nation?

Or are “We the People” going to finally get off our butts and exercise the balance of power reserved to the people and begin acting like adults ourselves and take away the credit card of each donkey and elephant who lacks the wisdom of recognizing we have changed the rules of the game — No Credit Cards Allowed!!!!

Mr Donkey and Mr Elephant get your hand out of my pocket and no you can not use my credit card either!

The to re-balance power which will result in a rebirth of the concept of a Balanced Budget!

This one is playing as we breath!

The Concept of the First Born Son – is still Cooking

Welcome to the noisy and messy world of searching for the truth in a world consumed by self creation of an image of an idol that is without life or spirit.  Sometimes a concept or idea or notion, especially an ancient one gets into ones blood stream and grabs a hold of your spirit and doesn’t let go.

The First Born Son – a message from God sent by the Holy Spirit to humanity through the words captured and recorded by humanity in scripture.

Why was a first born son so important to Abraham?  Well we should know that Jesus Christ came to us as the first born son of God himself.

We know Sarah was barren yet she had a son Isaac!  For sure Isaac was the son of Sarah.  And because Sarah was old and barren.  Not many men would have been interested in an intimate relationship with Sarah and certainly they would have thought it not worth the risk of upsetting Abraham.

So, we must conclude that Sarah was faithful to Abraham so that the male child, Isaac would be legitimately of Abraham’s seed.

So what are the spiritual implications I am searching for?

Within the concept of the first born son lives the truth of God, the seeds of hope and faith one will inherit everything of the father and live on forever!  The concept of the First Born Son demands one places faith in God above all else and then articulates that by not just believing but doing the will of God.  Nothing is more important than the first born son if one is to live forever.

This is the revelation I have been searching for!

Not only this revelation but another – the mother must be pure and solely intimate and faithful exclusively to the father.

Scripture, the word of God is about reveling spiritual truth.  It contains a story about the human animal whose body serves as a temple that serves as the home for the spirit planted by the creator there.

This spirit seeks to live forever in the promised land of the Lord God almighty.  This spirit seeks to be reunited with the spirit that created it.  The creator of the spirit loves unconditionally and to prove it grants every human spirit free will.  Then the creator simply waits for the spirit in every human being to figure out for itself the purpose of being created is to seek and find itself back in the right relationship with the creator.

The temple of the spirit being human must find a method of articulating the desire buried within to discover the purpose for which each one was created.

The First Born Son of God is the pure essence of the spirit of God, the creator of all.  As such the First Bord Son is faithful to the purpose for which the first born son was sent.  To do the will of the Father for which the reward is not only eternal life but participation in the glory of the creator.

Lets put this in another way.  The Church is the source of faith and the bearer of spiritual truth.  The Church is referred to as mother church since all of the children of truth will be hers.  For all of the children to be born of the same spirit as the father this mother must be ever and purely faithful to the father.

Every child born of this mother and father will be called to respond to the spirit of the first born son.  This can only be accomplished through the free will choice of opening one’s spiritual heart to the truth followed by discerning the purpose one was created and fulfilling that [purpose which is the will of God.

And when the journey is over, an encounter with the glory of God and everlasting life in unity with all the angles and saints can be assured.

Great Sex — Contraception Birthcontrol can be subtractive

I can’t believe I wrote that header but I did and I am serious.

Remember God created them male and female.  Don’t forget the part when he said the two shall become one flesh.  And then don’t forget he also said  and it was good!

You know it’s funny how later you discover I realized I learned something powerful about sex when I was a boy but wasn’t able to put the dots together until now!  What you think you don’t know but actually you knew but you didn’t connect the dots.

Are you ready for this?  Maybe a better question is am I?

When I was a boy I lived near the west end of Town, the second largest Belgium settlement in the USA.  Many of the Belgium men raised and raced racing pigeons.  Some of them used a system called the “Widow Hood System” with their racing pigeons.

So what is that and what does that have to do with sex?

What those old Belgium – well they weren’t really old – I was just a kid and what did I know about sex?

Anyway, when the racing season would start in the spring – by the way February 14, – a familiar date wouldn’t you say?  That generally was the day the old Belgium’s would put the male and female (referred to as cocks and hens) pigeons together to begin raising youngsters for the coming year.  About the time the pair finished raising a pair of youngsters Old Bird Racing season would be about a month off.

Their timing was critical – exactly the point with sex!

Using the “Widowhood System, the cock birds and hens would be separated from each other into closed off sections.  The trick was to be sure they couldn’t see each but let me tell you they wanted them to be able to hear each other.  Isn’t the imagination a wonderful blessing!

Have I got you yet?

So what’s my point??

Contraceptive birth control interjects artificial methods of fooling the females body or even serving as a method of aborting any potential fetus.  We don’t always like to talk about how it really works, just don’t bother me with the details.

The truth is contraception changes behavior and nearly eliminates any discipline in regard to sexual activity.  You know any time any place a couple can agree on!

In the Widowhood system I am referring to too, taking advantage of how mother nature works is the secret used to intensify a natural response which requires some discipline.

Oh that awful word “Discipline”.  Yet if one were observant of nature one might begin to recognize mother natures provides discipline measures to all life.  Those creatures that align themselves with mother nature survive and those who do not are most likely to die.

When one aligns one behavior with mother nature she will provide rewards.

If you want an object lesson find an old homing pigeon fancier who uses the widowhood system and ask them to allow you to observe the birds when they are separated (take notes of the calmness) and then watch the change when they are allowed to be together (the change is dramatic).

I suspect if one asks our married troops when they come home, should one have the courage to ask, compare the time after an extended separation to that of normal togetherness.

Justice will Prevail

No doubt the child was murdered!  The questions are how and by whom?

For those who worry about the juries verdict – n0t to worry.  Justice always prevails.

The memories and life style choices made by the guilty party/s which lead to the circumstances of the child’s death will not disappear.  Those who know the truth will be visited by the spirit of truth in the darkness of quite over which they have no control.

Vengeance is mine, say the Lord!  Look for the guilty to seek comfort in rigorous activity, or drugs and any other stimulus substitute designed to preocupy the mind and bury the truth.  But one cannot hide from the spirit of truth forever and the consequences of hiding can rack havock on the body, mind and soul from which there is no escape.

Wisdom resides in the words our savior gave us, I came to testify to the truth and the truth will set one free.

Lord Have Mercy on the Souls of all who are called to seek the truth.

Watch what unfolds – to be continued  ……..

 

The Concept of the 1st Born Son

I am still being driven to analyze the idea of the 1st born son as it is used in scripture.  This makes me think hard enough my brain hurts.

The Holy Bible & Scripture use ideas that were held sacred by humanity in the days the scripture was written to communicate God’s message to humanity.

As such scripture communicates in parallel both a spiritual and human values which are treasured as sacred truths.

Abraham already had a son but wasn’t satisfied that he had not had a son with his wife.

We should know, without a doubt in those times the mother of a child always knew she was the biological mother of the children born to her.   But Abram, as his name was at the time, was a no mad who wondered from place to place and did not have a permanent home.  Another part of the story was this longing for a place to call home – the “Promised Land”

What brought Abram greater assurance that a child born to Sarah would be his child are there for us to evaluate.  Sarah was old and baron.  She had never had a previous child.   Chances are good Sarah was not the woman in Abram’s clan that other males would have desired or sought after.

The spiritual message should also be clear, nothing is impossible for God and those who place their faith in Him.  From Abram and Sarah would come a nation more numerous than all the stars.

The concept of the 1st born son was and still is a treasure for humanity and men in particular.  Just ask any potential father.  Does he want a son or a daughter?  It almost always a son, yet more often it is the daughter who captures his heart.

For a male versus a female, the father wants assurance the child is from his seed!  Although men may not think about it today, the man wants assurance his DNA will live on.

The spirit of the message of God lies hidden in the story.  God sends his Son.  A Son who unquestionably is of the father spirit / DNA.  This Son is sent into the world to testify to the Word of God, the Truth.  This Son is willing to die so that the fullness of Truth can be reborn in the human heart through the forgiveness of sins.

Jesus the first born son came into the world to birth a baby!  The church is referred to as mother because she is the authentic mother of the child.

The Father of the church is also always the Father as the one who implants the soul in every child.

The question is, who will the child lay claim to as the Father?

A First Born Child who is interested in the inheritance will lay clai9m to the Father who has ownership of the “Promised Land”.

The Death of Freedom – the cause of death Journalism

Protect and Defend the New American Idol Created by MSM

During the past few years thanks to the rise of the current Democratic administration, it has become clear that words are used to confuse and hide the fullness of the truth.  If fact both parties are guilty, but the new (first American Idol) president has perfected and the democratic progressive secular party has embraced a new langauge art form.  This new Art Form depends upon party members sticking to the same language set or choice of words.  They carefully select uses words people want to hear like “hope and “change” so as trigger positive reception while craftily avoiding full disclosure of meaning and to avoid triggering people inner critical thinking defenses.  Hence a lie is not a lie.  The lie become the truth simply because it is consistently said enough times with the “Hope” the lie will be accepted as the truth

Who is there to defend the people from this new language Art Form stealth language?  Should not the major line of defense be those employed in the “Journalism” field?  Or has soemthing happened to objective journalism which threatens the concept of a “Free Press”?

The unfortunately reality of 2011 is that many “Main Stream Media” outlets have been bought and sold for a price!  What we used to consider a “Free Press” passed some years ago, certainly in this new century and given way to a power and control propogada driven mentality not at all interest in a free press or any other values concept that includes the words of creator, God, right to life, liberty, self governess, or any other values held sacred by the founding fathers of this nation.

A new kind of “Bondage and Slavery” has been substituted for the goal of self determination.

The concept and idea of a Free Press is a critical component that works to assure this remains a nation of the people, by the people and for the people.  An informed and educated people will remain strong and free.  A misinformed or mislead people may eventually submit to slavery.

The main or Lame (in my opinion) Stream Media has become a propaganda Machine with an agenda hostile to the people, truth and therefore is a great threat to America’s founding principles of liberty and freedom.

The re engineering of the use of Words – or Word Warfare as I call it is on the rise!  Clutter, confuse, hide, distort, rename and then repeat repeat repeat are the methods used to avoid reporting the objective truth! — The Kinetic War called a “Not War” we are targeting people to be killed as one would in a war.  The feminist movement does not include conservative women.

Those who claim to be environmentalist or conservationist are not all really interested in the environment or conservation.  The environment and conservation have been taken hostage by those willing to distort the truth to achieve and agenda unassociated with the truth.

Global warming is a fraude.  We do not tap into our own natural resources while simultaneously we import resources from unfriendly nations which are used to found wars and terrorism around the world.  We could kill multiple birds with this single stone.  Stop the funding of wars, terrorism, shorten the supply line risk of delivery, restore a major source of our food supply (corn) needed to feed a hungry world.

Racism is a word used entrap and hold bound people into a state of embracing unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness and continuing warfare against unity.  Those who nurture this new form of racism do so entrap and enslave this nation in a new form of bondage and slavery which is counter to the word of the Son of God.  Love your God with your whole heart and soul and your neighbor as yourself.

Class Warfare is alive.  Pit the rich against the poor without consideration to the dignity of the human person and the fullness of the truth.

Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ

Does anyone here know who we Christians are?  Can anyone tell me who we call ourselves?  What is the name of today’s Solemnity?  The Body of Christ!

Are you ready for a story about our history!  Children, this is a triple history story of the people of faith and our family right here at St. P.  Our stories are treasures to be carried in our hearts and to be revealed to our children, grand children and the people you encounter in life!  To top things off my grand children are here today.

Children are you ready to take notes?  Meme give them a note pad!

From the Book of Deuteronomy – For forty years He directed all our ancestors journeying in the desert, so as to test them by affliction to find out their intentions!  He tested them with hunger and feed them with manna in order to show us, not by bread alone does one live, but by every word from the mouth of God.  There is a hidden lesson in this story not to be missed.  My grand children’s mother is celebrating her 40th birthday this weekend.  Write it down – it often takes us humans forty years to begin to fully open up our spiritual ears so we can hear the truth revealed in the story.

And do not forget who brought us out of slavery; who guided us through the vast and terrible desert, with poisonous scorpions and serif serpents, with its parched land and waterless ground, who brought forth water for you from the flinty rock.  Throughout lives God is with us through it all walking at our side waiting for us to acknowledge His presence.

Did you know, children, we have people right here in this parish, St Peter the Rock, who can identify with the spiritual journey of the Israelites through the desert for forty years?  We have our own unique story.  We have a beautiful tradition as well when our young children invite or come and sit with our elderly children who know the journey through the desert – living saints tho they would not call themselves such.  Don’t lose that open invitation to be melted into one body no matter each persons age!

We are the off spring of a people who journeyed in adjacent towns for 46 and 48 years respectfully without a parish or a dedicated priest.  We are the off spring of a people who were virtual church orphans and were passed on from circuit priest to priest.  We too are a people tested to find out whether or not it was our intention to keep the commandments to love God with all our heart and to love our neighbor as our self.

We are the off spring of a people who took ownership for keeping faith alive.  We are a people who elected to let individual mission self interests die.  We are a people who were willing to risk death of one dream, for the hope of the birth of a new dream.  St Peter the Rock was born from the ashes of dreams willingly surrendered.  Two small communities decided to die that they could become one.

My own grand father helped build the first Catholic Church in my home town, the second largest Belgium community in our nation.

http://stbavochurch.com/

He was one the leaders who went to the local bishop to recruit a priest to minister to his people.  He and his wife ran a grocery store during the great depression and world war two.  The two of them willingly assisted the local community with food when food was rationed and money was scarce.  They carried a heavy cross when those same neighbors did not pay them back or support their local store when the war was over and chain stores arrived.  Their family built parts of the University of Notre Dame as well.

My father was a member of the Knights of Columbus and my dad took ownership for carrying metal folding chairs from the second floor of the Knights building down steep narrow steps to our car and then carried them up three sets of steps to the second floor of St Joseph school every time our community held an event.  I still remember as a second grader climbing those steep steps – that building would probably be condemned today, yet we never complained.  Year after year our family just did what necessary to support our larger faith family.

Each of us here has a rich family story to tell.  We are descendents of a people who clearly communicated in word and action the unity of the Body of Christ we celebrate at Mass as the Body of Christ.

Children this is a lesson to be remembered particularly on this Solemnity!  Self interest must die so that we preserve the unity of the whole Body of Christ.

The Catholic catechism teaches we are a people who gather around the altar that is the symbol of Christ himself, present and united in the midst of the assembly of his faithful people journeying though life.  It is in the sacred gathering of God’s people at the Eucharistic Mass that we encounter the fullness of unity.  It is during the course of the Mass that we are taught and experience a melting away our individual self and become united with Christ into one Body.  At the end of Mass we take that Spirit of Christ out into a world thirsting and hungry  for the truth and hope that can only come with a change that takes place in the spirit of ones heart.

The celebration of the Eucharistic sacrifice is wholly directed toward an intimate union of the faithful with Christ through communion.  We become the Body and Blood of Christ in union most clearly when we receive the Body and Blood of Christ at communion.

Who do we say we are?

Fathers Day and the Destruction of Dad

Holy Scripture speaks of having eyes but not being able to see!  Of course scripture is speaking of both physical and spiritual eyes!  With our human eyes we can see while simultaneously we are often unable to see the spiritual implications of what is directly in front of our nose.  Watch Out or we will bump into the wall we are constructing of unintended consequences!

Brace yourself to confront the truth.

We honor our fathers while all around us we are eliminating to the presence of dad.

We only need a few statistics to see this modern day battle taking place to remove dad from the equation of family.  How’s your eyesight?  Can anyone see the consequences of good intentions actually resulting in the destruction of dad and the make up of the ancient traditional family model described by Abraham the father of faith for the Jews, Muslims and Christians?

Boy, that brings up a lot of philosophical and faith questions.  Aren’t we all from the same family and father?

And if the father is missing from the modern family equation who then is replacing dad?

Remember the story of Abraham?  What was so important to Abraham?  We know he already had a son, Ismael by his wife’s slave Hagar?

Yet Abraham was not satisfied.  What is it about the human condition that made Abraham dissatisfied?  Put on your spiritual eyes!

Thirteen years after Ismael is born – a long time to wait, finally miraculously along comes Isaac the son of Shariah!

Humans are mamal’s and as such have animal survival instincts.  God placed us here on earth to procreate – participate in the creation of new life!  But we humans are also created in the image of God therefore have a spirit or soul which separates humans from animals.

It is this spiritual dimension that Abraham longs to satisfy.  The Lord God promised Abraham he would be the father of a great nation – not any nation but the Jewish nation, a nation chosen to be a light to the world for the one and only true God.

Why was it so important to Abraham to have a Son?  Didn’t he already have one?

To fulfill this spiritual dream, Abraham instinctively knew he needed to have a child with his Jewish wife Shariah creative a pure blood son of Jewish ancestry.  It could be no other way from Abraham.

Ever pay attention to the animal kingdom and the great sacrifice and effort animals instincts play in the procreation of their offspring.

A mother always knows, without exception the child she bears is of here seed.  But what about the father.  A father can not automatically be so certain.

Therefore, in nature for every species, a father has an inherent instinctive need to assure within his capability the child born is of his seed and not someone Else’s child.

For example, with homing pigeons the male pigeon begins to drive his mate about the time she is ready for her egg to be fertilized.  This behavior is called driving the hen.  The male pigeon will essentially wear himself driving his hen.  He will not let her rest, stop to eat or drink until she lays those two eggs.  This behavior is designed to keep another male pigeon from mounting her and thus assuring the resulting offspring are truly and purely his.

This behavior and instinctive drive is natural in every male.  Conversely the female always knows the child is hers!

Your spiritual eyes open yet?  The story of the first born son is from antiquity!  Why a son and not a daughter?  Because it is a lesson about a relationship of faithfulness and purity.

The life seed of a father requires complete faithfulness on the part of the mother.  The life seed of a father demands action and behavior by the father to protect, defend and assure the mother and child conceived are nurtured and protected.

Marriage – What is Married???

Marriage is a word used to describe this unique relationship of faithfulness between a man and woman where the purity of children born into this family are pure.  It is a relationship where a man and a woman open themselves up to the most intimate of relationships that open the possibilities of being responsible for the children brought into the world through this intimate relationship.

The fullness of the spiritual story is woven into the fabric of the human story of the journey of life on earth.

When the father of a child is destroyed by circumstances of life, every child born into this circumstance instinctively searches for the father who by nature is called to protect and defend that child.  A single mother can raise a child but she can not completely replace the spirit of a missing father.

In the world of 2011, over half the children being born in the land of the free and the brave are born to single unwed mothers.  These children face a life time of wondering who their father is and why he was not present to protect, defend and nurture them?

And who are the mothers turning to replace what nature created – a father.  More and more women are turning to a federal government, who itself is turning toward a political correctness value system unfriendly to the father, that not only defies the spirit of truth but seeks to replace the father with an image, a pagan idol which is not alive.  A progressive secular humanism God is seeking to become the new religion of the land.

Open spiritual eyes are required to see the battlefield unfolding before our eyes.

The Truth will set us free!  Only the truth can save us from human natures desire to replace God with self.

Children without a father and a mother who places her trust in a government to nurture defend and support her increases the potential to lead an unaware and unseeing population into a new form of bondage and slavery.  A form of share croppers who owe their survival to a human god who seeks to become the land baron who owns the flesh & blood of it’s citizen slaves.

Destroy the father, destroy dad and with them one begins to replace the one true God with a self serving human idol.

The battle has long been underway and the casualties many.  Yet the War is neither over nor lost!

For the Truth is always the Truth – no one can change the Truth and the Truth can set every spirit free!

The questions is???  How many angry young men will be sacrificed on street corners fighting mad over abandonment by an unseen or unknown dad?  How many children will these young men create themselves?  How many new single mothers are being created with this model of indentured servant implanted upon their spirit?

A Grand Fathers Dream

A grand dad doesn’t always know it until it happens.  Grand children are the fulfillment of the Dream he has been waiting for his whole life.

Yep – you are my best ever dream!

Watching you grow is a treasure buried in the journey of life.  Getting to see that first smile melts an old man’s heart.  Hearing those first sounds is music to his ears.  Heck, even getting the chance to change those dirty diapers was a blessing.

Wondering what your personality would be makes an old man young again as he watches  every phase of growth as nature unveils it .  I didn’t know it until it happened, the name you called me was better than any I could chose for myself.  It didn’t really matter if you couldn’t say it correctly or not.  It was a name that was authentically given by you talking to me as if for the first.

Getting to hold you, feed you and burp you were treasures unfolding as you grew.  Then your first setup, crawl and shaky stand up.  Guessing the day you would crawl and walk required no effort on my part.

But sometimes the coldness hidden the depths of the human heart presents a stumbling block to natures call.

I can still remember how proud I was of my children and how I wanted the world to see just how beautiful they were.  Anything else was foreign to my experience in life.

To stand back and wait for one without normal instincts is an unexpected challenge for a grand father.  Trusting time is a healer and solver of unseen barriers caused by childhood  wounds and brokenness carried into parenthood is a difficult task.

A grand father never dreams standing outside is an  act of love, especially when this necessary expression of love is used to justify greater rejection and fault.  Stone cold is a term I never dreamed I would understand.  Yet, waiting is exactly what a loving God does until his children encounter the necessary experiences of life that penetrate a heart made of stone.

God’s wisdom is revealed to those who encounter the blessings learned through rejection and suffering.

Pray for the day hearts of stone are converted to open spirit filled vessels of pure love which risks all by entering the dominion of a stone cold heart.

The Forbidden Line

The “Line” between Church and Sate!  Who said we couldn’t walk on that line?

WWJD = What would Jesus Do?

I suppose Jesus would say – by whose authority does the Church have power and authority?  And by whose power and authority does the state have it’s?

Hey Dad!  Look at these folks walking in fear of stepping on the line of Truth!

Does anyone see a material barrier or is constructed of air?

While Jesus walked the face of the earth he walked all over that line like he owned it!

And how did the world treat him?  Better One Man should die than for the Truth be left standing!  Come follow me said the Lord!

Walking the Line — Are we ready to follow?
