Wrapping Up Today

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

This day started beautifully.  Clear, sunny and not too warm.  But by midday, the clouds had rolled in and the temperature really dropped, and the wind (a chilly wind) had picked up.  Now it is really gray and windy.

Did much of the usual.  Attempting to make order out of chaos, etc.  At least it isn’t as chaotic as it was.  I have to keep reminding myself of that.

I was really concerned about that car story.  My brother in law recently had to replace his pick-up truck and he absolutely hates the new one. He had his old one for close to 20 years, and he loved it.  The new one nags.  A voice comes on and tells him if he is “driving erratically” and says “perhaps you should pull over and rest”.  Also a screen comes up with any issues that might be going on and the screen covers the place where you can see how fast you are going.  Too much technology.  The reporting to a “third party” takes the cake.  Who?  Why?  It gives me a creepy Big Brother is Watching feeling.

We are in for two days of rain, if the forecast is right.

That’s about it for now.

Have a good night.

God bless everybody.

Voters Clobber Ebola Party REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From November 5, 2014

President Barack Hussein Ebola and Senate Majority Leader Harry Ebola got their disease-importing, open-borders, Global Warming  butts kicked yesterday. A few Democrats survived who would otherwise have been sent packing, thanks to third-party spoilers (shame on you, Louisiana) and the self-indulgent types who voted for them. But by and large, it was a good old country thrashing.

Thank you, Lord.

So we’ve been given a chance, maybe a last chance, to stop the piecemeal murder of our country and its purposeful deconstruction into a socialist, bankrupt, lawless, culturally degraded basket case. (Let me know if I’m being wishy-washy here.)

Now we have to worry about whether the Republicans are up to the job. We’ve put the ball in their hands, and they’d better not have butter-fingers. As Rush Limbaugh put it today, this election does not mean America has, overnight, fallen in love with Republicans.

Republicans must overcome their paralyzing fear of the nooze media, their penchant for venal deal-making, and their addiction to playing it safe and trying to get away with doing nothing. They must realize that we took power away from the Democrats to stop the Democrats, and that’s the job we’ve handed to the GOP. And they’d damn well better do it.

Here’s what we want from you, guys:

*Kill any plan to award any kind of amnesty to illegal aliens.

*Stop the appointment of any more left-wing federal judges and department heads.

*Repeal Obamacare in its entirety; and if that’s not possible, gut it piece by piece.

*De-fund federal policies and programs that are hurting the country.

*Rein in the lawlessness of the IRS, the DOJ, the NSA, the EPA and other federal agencies that have lent themselves to partisan political games, and punish those responsible.

*Take an axe to incontinent federal spending.

It’ll take courage, hard work, and perseverance–qualities foreign to many leaders of the GOP–to undo the havoc which six years of Obamaism have wreaked on the country.

But boy, oh, boy, they’d better do it. Because they will not be given a second chance.

REPRINT ‘The Call to Wonder’: R.C. Sproul Jr. Captures the Joy of Christianity

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From December 3, 2012

Part of my regular job as an editor for the Chalcedon Foundation is to review books; and I review a lot of them. There’s always a danger that I might get blase about it.

I didn’t expect much from R.C. Sproul Jr.’s The Call to Wonder. I’ve learned a lot from listening to his father, R.C. Sr., on the radio, but I didn’t know much about the son and I hadn’t heard anything about his book.

Now, I’m not quite finished reading it yet, but I think I can safely say, You gotta get this book and read it!

Look, I’m a tough old buzzard with a beard, I study swordsmanship and play basketball… and this little book has several times moved me to tears! I don’t mean those wimpy sissy tears that feminists want men to cry every time they see a flower. No–I mean tears of joy. The joy of realizing that God really is my father in heaven.

If I were a preacher or a missionary, and there were only one single lesson I could teach, it would be this: God is a person. Literally. That’s why He made us persons.

This little book by R.C. Sproul Jr. teaches that lesson better than I ever could, and a lot more besides. If you’re the dancing type, it’ll make you want to dance. You’ll throw your hat up into the air. It’s beautiful, it goes straight to your heart, and you’ll thank me for letting you know about it.

It’s available via amazon.com in both paperback and kindle format.

Very Busy Today

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Let’s just say I was very busy all day, but not very efficient.

Got involved in a number of things that I had to address and the day just disappeared on me.  That happens quite often and just now, would you believe it, the keyboard seemed to be acting up.

It’s better now.  That would be all I would need at this point in my day–the keyboard going out.

Very sorry that I didn’t post as much as usual, but it couldn’t be helped.

Things should be a lot better tomorrow.

I am going to quit while I’m ahead.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Patty
