Many walk in a world of uncertainty because they are afflicted with Forrest Gump’s attitude: “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” While we live in an uncertain world, but for the Christian it is also certain, for God is on His throne: “Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!” (Revelation 19:6).
Every morning when Christians get up they can know that God is on His throne. Sometimes we behave as though God has vacated His throne. It appears to us as though evil is controlling God’s world.
Things were not good for the apostle John when he wrote the Book of Revelation. In fact, he was a prisoner of Rome. He had been exiled to the Island of Patmos because he refused to say, “Caesar is on the throne;” instead he said, “God is on the throne.”
Some D.C. politician isn’t on the throne. God is on the throne, and we can count on Him, for He is a high-performance God. Though we live in a world of many uncertain things, there are certain things we can depend on, and the greatest certainty of all is the fact that God is on His throne, and the final decision as to what will happen to this world is in His hands.
In the month of November, Americans will decide on righteousness or unrighteousness. We need to turn to God for help, as we shoulder our responsibility to help get this nation back on track, for right now it is a run-a-way train, traveling on a broken track.
We cannot afford four more years of the same. God is on His throne and we must pray to Him for help.
God Bless America! |

Seven French Fries, But Hold the Hamburger |

The lavishly dressed wives of D.C. politicians have decided that the children and youth of America are too fat and they intend to do something about it. Apparently, some of them haven’t looked into the mirror lately. It doesn’t bother them when their husband’s pilots crank up the government planes and away they go on a spending spree, including $200 steaks and $100 cocktails, and all at the expense of the American taxpayer, while the poor little children of our nation eat their seven French fries. That’s right, the do-good liberals of D.C. have exerted enough influence over the federal powers that be to hand down to the school systems of American a daily menu that is robbing our children of food and sending them home hungry. And when they have hamburgers on the menu they can’t have French fries. They have to be on separate menus. Fries, but not with hamburger, and there can be no more than seven fries. Suppose a compassionate cook were to place 10 fries on a child’s plate, what would be her punishment—10 days in BI without pay?
I doubt if the President’s family dines without the traditional hamburger and fries. Keep it up do-gooders, all liberal Democrats, and ya’ll will make Republicans out of America’s children.
We know being fat isn’t good for us but, the last time I checked, we are living in America. So living in America we have the freedom to eat what we want and as much as we can hold. I’m not trying to promote bad eating habits, but I don’t like the direction our country is going—A King, and the rest of us peasants.
Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but I “ain’t” cooperating.
Michelle and all the other ladies in D.C. need to come and visit the Upper Cumberland’s poor school children and watch them eat breakfast on a Monday morning after having gone a weekend without food.
By the way, you Country Club Republicans who have jello in your back bones are no better than the liberal Democrats who have ruined this country and are on the way to destroying it; you should call the hand of the these menu changers.
These people are an oxymoron—eating the best of foods while America’s children go hungry. Our government has authorized food stamps for Mexico; but put our children on a low calorie diet—too low.
Please be advised that the local school system didn’t plan these menus. No, they were hatched in D.C.
God Bless America! |

Some have dubbed President Obama “The Welfare Kid” because of his liberal give-a-ways to welfare recipients. President Clinton cut out much of the waste in welfare and made it mandatory that those receiving welfare had to work. But a new day has dawned and those on the welfare roll have increased in numbers with 46 percent of Americans getting food stamps. Furthermore, under the Obama Administration, work is no longer required. Reading a book is considered sufficient for one to receive welfare. I can’t help wondering if the reading of playboy magazine qualifies one to receive welfare. We are told that 40 percent of Americans are now keeping up 60 percent of the American population. Taking from those who work and giving it to those that don’t is the order of the day.
While the U.S. is only 400 years old, she has outdone the other nations economically. France and Britton are 1000 years old, China 3000 and Egypt 5000, but the U.S. economic history is far beyond these nations. All this time the U.S. has been leading the word politically and economically. However, the last 4 years have been a disaster.
No work, only play, has been the cry of a socialist administration. Four more years of the same philosophy and America will be on its way to becoming a third world |

Liberals Choke on Chicken Bones |

All the way from D.C., across the Potomac, down through Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, multiplied millions were awakened from their sleep to the sound of coughing, gagging, and other unknown sounds. What in the world? Some asked. It was not until the next morning, when their televisions were turned on to Breaking News which read: Countless millions of liberals almost choked to death last night when they heard that their plot against Chick-Fil-A had boomeranged. The worst part, reported by some, though not confirmed, was a ‘certain congressman’ sitting on the steps of the Capital, flapping his arms like a chicken, and crowing like a rooster and chanting, “Don’t buy chicken at Chick-Fil-A.” Upon hearing that the liberal’s boycott against Chick-Fil-A had failed and multiplied millions were rushing to Chick-Fil-A stores, according to one source, the congressman cried, whipped out his cell phone, and called his new wife and said, “honey, get over here quick, we’ve got to organize a “kissing party” in the front of all Chick-Fil-A stores.” It is difficult for me to believe this story. Perhaps it was started by the Tea Party. However, since the congressman said two days before the financial collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack, both were in strong financial condition, I guess I can believe this story.
President Obama, that congressman, and others are killing the Democrat Party with the promotion of same sex marriage. Sixty five percent of all democrats, according to one poll, now support same sex marriage.
In my opinion, the only way the liberals can clear their throats of chicken bones is by a big dose of Bible knowledge; read Leviticus chapter 18:22 and Romans chapter 1:24-27. Of course, they don’t believe the Bible, for if they did they would know that marriage is between a man and a woman.
By the way, in the future I’m going to eat at Chick-Fil-A more often. Liberals, your little ploy against the owner of Chick-Fil-A stores may cost you your election. Stupidity is the mother of failure. |

In Loving Memory of Veronica Snow |

The loss of a child is one of the most devastating tragedies that can occur in the human family. It is even worse when it is a small child whose life was cut short as result of a tragic accident. Veronica was only three years old when the accident occurred, and for eleven years she had struggled to survive, but on Sunday morning, July 8, 2012, she had to relinquish that struggle, leaving behind a grieving family and friends. My family has been very close to Veronica’s parents through the years, and we’ve watched the past eleven years as little Veronica suffered and as her parents sought countless medical opportunities to help her. Her parents, sisters, and other family members, along with many friends, loved this sweet little girl and prayed and cried, hoping she would recover, but God knows best and it was time to cease her suffering and to rest for all eternity. The times I visited Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital to see Veronica, her mother was always there. When I drove to Lexington, Kentucky to see her in the Children’s Hospital there, her mother was there. All the family worked hard to care for Veronica and we extend to them our deepest sympathy. The following scripture should be a big encouragement to all: “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed to us” (Romans 8:18). The suffering is over for Veronica and the memories of her smiles and the big tears in her eyes will never end so long as her family and friends live. “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26) |
