Christmas will soon be upon us, with hearts turned to Peace, Love and the Joy that only Jesus can give. He said the earth was not His world, and that we shouldn’t hold too tightly to the physical aspects of life.
It is a good thing that our rewards and security are in a different realm because our leaders here on earth, local, state and federal are bent on squeezing out of us every drop of sustenance we can muster.
At this writing, the Dunces in D.C. are doing a Dueling Dance to extend/end the Bush tax cuts—in the process, the amendments and inclusions will add over $600 Billion—with a B more dollars to our debt with China. State governments are trying to balance state budgets currently very much in deficits; and local leaders in many states, counties and municipalities have so cowed to the pseudo-science of global warming that they are passing “green” building codes that restrict how many light bulbs we can put in our kitchens—latest rule is (4) 60 watt bulbs per average kitchen. Now, THAT is intrusive!!
Holiday travelers are sexually accosted in the name of security by TSA workers with no common sense, who strip search, both virtually, and physically, law-abiding Americans who want to visit Grandma on the holidays—all because they don’t want to “profile” would-be Muslim terrorists.
Meanwhile, as our POTUS finally found his TOTUS, he has been reaming out both sides of the political aisles. He rails that the Republicans are taking hostages over this tax cut/extension. The Democrats suddenly don’t understand that to NOT extend those tax cuts at this time, will throw the country into double dip recession in January. And, while all this political theater is taking place, Iran is making plans to move missiles into Venezuela capable of reaching the USA!!
The Shining Light in all this chaos is Jesus. When His trumpet sounds to call out the Church, and we fly to higher ground, all our needs will be met, all our ills will disappear, and we will be with the King—the Real King. And all this without being manhandled by the TSA to get there!!
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.”
--President Thomas Jefferson
Merry Christmas
