The UAW Says I Should Get What I Deserve.

Ask me about VW (Chattanooga plant) and the UAW potential strike, if you want my opinion. However, without you asking I will respond to 3 words of concern: “what we deserve.”

If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it…well, you know, a lot. And every time I hear it I cringe. That’s all the Union messaging pushes—you deserve more. Deserve, they say.

But what do we actually “deserve”? Well, how about we ask Jesus? And no, I’m not talking about hell. Jesus told a parable in Matthew 20 of workers being hired by a vineyard owner. He hired several groups at different times, each time making a wage offer they voluntarily accepted.

However, when it came time to receive their wages at the end of the day, the ones hired first complained. They were upset that the last ones hired late in the day were paid the same amount as those who worked all day. But how did the vineyard owner reply? “Did you not agree to the wage I offered when I hired you?”

Now, some might say, “But Jesus also said in Luke 10:7 that ‘the laborer is WORTHY of his hire.’” True, but in the same verse Jesus tells his disciples to take whatever they are given.

All I’m saying is that I felt privileged and blessed to be hired by Volkswagen. I had no experience with that industry. I had never even worked in a factory. So, even though the work was difficult at the beginning, I was very happy to receive the wage and benefits provided me (especially the lease car)! They didn’t hire me by force, nor did they deceive me regarding my pay scale. They offered me a job at a particular wage (just like in the parable Jesus told) and I accepted it.

So did every other employee I work with.

The only thing ANYONE deserved was for the other party to do what they agreed to. Jesus would probably ask, “Why does what other companies pay their workers make you deserve more than what you agreed to here?”

Therefore, no, I do not believe I “deserve” anything more than what I agreed to when I was hired. That is why I believe that the UAW’s primary argument (what we deserve) is unethical, unbiblical, and immoral when attached to threats (like to strike).

Feel free to Google it if you’re interested. I’m sick of this Marxist nonsense.

A Response to Social Media Comments Addressing the Michigan Mormon Church Shooting

Good grief, people. Mormons and the rest of orthodox (technical, not denominational term) are at complete odds on core Theology, Christology, and Soteriology. If you don’t know what those words mean, please don’t act like an authority on the subject. You only expose your lack of knowledge and affirm your ecumenical liberality.

That being said, Mormons are unquestionably conservative and hold to a religion that holds one accountable for their immoral actions. And whether or not they ARE Christian, they CLAIM to be, so that places a target on them. Because of this, all of us are in the same peanut gallery, and more and more shooters are coming to the carnival to play.

The recent shooting at the Mormon church is a tragedy because every human being has a soul, and each one is created in the image of God and is intrinsically infinitely valuable. You just don’t kill people because you hate them. Period.

But there is a growing worldwide spiritual conflict between those who believe hate justifies violence and those of any faith that preaches meekness in any form. The Christian world is NOT WEAK! We are meek. There is a difference. Should we rise up as militants do from other groups and defend ourselves, the cowardly jihadists of the world would either run in terror or die for their demonic causes as the untapped might of our assets were poured out upon their heads.

Remember, Jesus COULD have summoned 10,000 angels to deliver him from the Roman cross to which he was nailed. But he didn’t. When they came to Jesus in the garden to seize him, he didn’t have to allow it. For that matter, in just one humorous nod to the omnipotent power meekly restrained before them, all the soldiers fell backwards when Jesus answered, “I am.” I sometimes wonder if our Lord fought a slight grin when that happened. Those who were wise would have realized He wasn’t being arrested, but going willingly.

At the root of all evil stands the liar himself—Lucifer, Satan, the Devil. And whatever bears even a glimmer of Christ—be it His chosen nation Israel, whose unfaithfulness only magnifies God’s faithfulness, or His blood-bought church—Satan rages against it with a hatred as old as time and as fierce as hell itself. If Mormons want to be included as objects of Satan’s hate, that’s up to them.

Those who shoot children or praying adults in schools or churches, whether Christian, Mormon, or Muslim, are tools of Satan. They can clothe themselves in whatever cloak they prefer—Marine uniform, anarchist black, or Muslim hijab—the impetus for their actions is the Enemy of God. They are all the same. Our enemy is the same.

However, the fatal flaw of our enemies’ strategy is that fear and bloodshed will secure victory. They are convinced violence will void valor, deceit will destroy decency, and terror will trounce the timid. But they, just like those who supposed their chains could bind Omnipotence, are truly impotent. Their end will come. Their progeny will cease.

“Blessed are the meek, for THEY shall inherit the earth,” said Jesus. He also cried from the cross, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.” The simple truth is that the proof of who is winning the war can be seen every time the victim says, “I forgive.”

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. —Ephesians 6:12

Trying to Understand the Undead

The ghoulish day is here, so time for a rerun of a favorite, timely post. 🙂

Halloween

This time of year gets on my nerves, and one of the biggest reasons is the proliferation of horror movies. Horror movies don’t scare me that much; they tick me off! They are always full of idiots walking into the dark asking, “Buffy, is that you?”

And what’s worse, so many of today’s horror flicks involve ghostly, demonic hauntings by creepy dead kids. HINT: if a soaking-wet dead girl crawls out of a well and starts climbing through your TV, change the channel (preferably to a Christian station).

The Undead

But what I really don’t understand are the “undead”…zombies… Michael Jackson’s dance partners. Can someone help me understand the logic behind their supposed capabilities and actions?

English: A participant of a Zombie walk, Asbur... English: A participant of a Zombie walk, Asbury Park NJ, USA. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

All I know is that the walking dead make absolutely no sense. Consider the following:

Health. Why is it that when I have the flu I feel as good as dead, yet when a zombie is dead he feels more alive than me? If I break a bone I can’t function, but a zombie can have all his bones broken and break into an armored car!

Why is it that zombies can have more energy once their skin has rotted than while they were still exfoliating?

Appetite. Why is it that the walking dead never seem to recognize that their fellow walkers are also human – and edible? And why are humans the only meat worth eating?

Why don’t the walking dead break into grocery stores, butcher shops, and kennels? Seriously, don’t the dead understand that there is far more meat and brains in a cow?! Why eat the farmer???

Blood. I’ve had too much experience in funeral homes to buy the idea that zombies coming out of graves have bright, red, flowing blood. Ever heard of embalming fluid?

Speed. Why can’t healthy people, including clumsy women in high heels, outrun people with muscles falling off the bone? Bones need muscles to function, especially when the function is running.

Even if one tripped over every blade of grass in an attempt to flee a rotting granny, how fast could granny be when her anterior muscles, such as the quadriceps femoris, iliopsoas, and sartorius (not to mention her hamstrings and gluteus maximus) are nothing more than brittle beef jerky?

It’s a matter of simple mechanics.

Minor Practicalities. Speaking of grannies, if old people become zombies do they have to keep their false teeth in order to chew their neighbor? I mean, if one did bite/gum you, would you still be infected if no teeth were involved? For crying out loud, how long does Fixodent last?

Theoretically, if the dentures of a zombie did come flying out after the first bite, could a non-zombie then use them as a zombie-creating weapon?

What is the life expectancy of something that is already dead?

Oh, and when a zombie eats a human, where does the ingested material go? Do zombies have functioning digestive tracts? If not, then how much could a zombie eat before becoming bloated, impacted, and for all intents and purposes worthless as a killing machine?

Do zombies poop?

The Real Undead

To be very honest, I am more afraid of my own stinking flesh than the “walking dead.” I cause myself more problems than any zombie can.

“O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” (Romans 7:24)

I can’t outrun my old nature; I must crucify it on a daily basis! If I live in the power of my own zombie-like self, I will die. The only way I can survive is live in the life of Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

So, don’t worry about what’s already dead and buried; through the Spirit put to death the deeds of your own stinking flesh, and live (Romans 8:13).

What Would Make Me NOT Vote for Trump?

Please allow me to share a LOT of words with you. That’s all they are, after all. Just words.

But words have meaning. Words are powerful. Words expose the heart. And sometimes, believe it or not, it takes more than a sound bite or meme to get the full picture.

So, at the risk of losing your attention, I want you to see my heart. I want to be transparent.

This morning a friend asked a legitimate question on Facebook. A friend of that friend gave an answer. To that answer I responded.

Read if you’re interested.

The Original Question

Is there a moral or a red line that Trump could cross that would turn you against him? He mentioned once that he could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and he wouldn’t lose any supporters. I’m not being facetious, I am being very serious. Is there any one thing or more than one thing that would make you have second thoughts?

The First Response

You’ll never get an honest answer to this question but it’s probably no there’s nothing he could do to turn his supporters away.

My First Honest Answer

To begin with, teachers and professors often claim that “there is no stupid question.” However, there are questions that cannot be answered simply because of the flawed premise on which the question is based. For example, “Would you rather be eaten alive by a shark or an orange?”

Your question is not to the level of unanswerable, but it’s close. The problem is that it assumes that Harris has NOT already done something that would make us not vote for her. The fact is that, in order to not vote for Donald Trump, he would have to exceed the unacceptable level of Kamala Harris.

My vote is based on my love of country, along with my love of family and church. Both candidates have histories from which I can draw conclusions. Both make plenty of claims, but only one’s history supports his claims. Therefore, based on what is readily knowable, despite propaganda, Trump may or may not “make America great again,” but Harris will certainly cause it irreparable harm. Her radical support for abortion alone, not to mention everything else she would support, if not mandate, will only pollute the land even more with the blood of innocents.

Assuming all the accused evils of both candidates were blatantly observable and undeniable, I could not vote for Donald Trump if, and only if, he was a greater danger to the republic and the moral fabric of this country. But we are not comparing Hitler to Nero. Even if we were, only one of those set fire to his own kingdom. Which would you choose?

The Response to My Answer

I think I disagree – I think it is the hypocrisy that drives everyone crazy. He can do no harm no matter what and the other side it criticized for everything – that’s the bottom line. He’s just not a “good” person in any way, shape or form.

My Final Reply

But I have to ask… what harm has he done that is supposed to make me vote for Harris? Rape? Murder? Treason? If he did those things, then we’d have a problem. But is it just possible that the media, which is TOTALLY and unapologetically biased, done everything possible to deceive the public? Just think of how many things Trump claimed to be happening that was labeled as crazy. And how many of those things were proven true?

  • The Dems and the FBI did spy on Trump’s campaign.
  • China was responsible for Covid.
  • The Hunter Biden laptop was legit.
  • The Bidens were making money off of Ukraine and China.
  • All of the “crimes” he’s been convicted of…do you seriously believe that wasn’t a witch hunt?

[Let me add that several years and millions of taxpayer dollars were wasted on the Russia collusion hoax.]

You and others say unequivocally that he’s a “bad man.” There have been plenty of accusations, sure. But do you believe them? What about the credible accusations leveled against the Biden/Harris administration? What about the lying about Joe Biden’s health?

Think about this. I’m sure what Trump said about women is seared into your memory, that as a rich and famous man he could just walk up to any woman and grab her (privates) and nothing would happen. Was he lying? But did he do it? Was he just making a point?

Trump, like many men, including former presidents, have been unfaithful. Trump was even divorced. Yet, look at his family. How does he treat them? How do they love him? Is that a mark of a scoundrel? During the whole 4 years he was president, what immoral thing did he do? As much as he is hated, don’t you think it would have surfaced if he had been with an intern in the Oval Office? You see, it’s just too easy to claim he is evil with no impartial evidence.

Do you realize that not one soldier died over seas while Trump was president? No new wars. Not a bomb dropped. Three peace treaties were signed in the Middle East. We became energy independent. He moved the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He strengthened religious liberty by ditching the Johnson amendment which limited speech from church pulpits. And he ended Roe v Wade, just as promised. And he’s a bad man?

If you are still reading, let me describe what will happen should Harris be elected. For one, the weaponization of the DOJ against political opponents will be permanent. Based on what has already been done, further, more dramatic catering to LGBTQ causes will have a major impact on churches, Christian schools, Christian business, Christian or conservative media, parental rights, and free speech. Tax law, such as taxes on unrealized capital gains, will cripple our economy, bankrupt our farmers, and destroy investment. And make no mistake, there will be more war, particularly involving China [and Taiwan], Iran, and Russia.

I know I’ve written a lot. I’m sorry. But I truly believe that what you think of Trump is the result of years of corrupt media propaganda and lies told by the sexually deviant groups that hate God and Christians. It’s just too obvious.

To Wrap It Up

There an old proverb that says, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Donald J. Trump is not an angel. He may even be a bad person. Yet, he is the only candidate for the office of President of the United States who will take a pay cut to serve, willingly risks his life for this country, and cares more for the sovereignty of our borders than the feelings of hostile regimes.

We have enemies, but only one flawed human is the most qualified choice to confront them. I’m voting for him.

Reflections On the Trump and Harris Debate

A lot has been said about the debate on the 10th of August. Nearly all the Democrats believe their candidate for president won. It was a mixed bag in the Republican camp, on the other hand. That being said, I would like to offer my take, what I think happened.

At the end, I would like to make some predictions, should Kamala Harris become POTUS.

And the Winner Is…

Having won debates in school, I know a little about how to do it. That being said, from a stylistic standpoint, I believe Vice President Kamala Harris won her first debate with President Trump. She caught him like the Japanese did the US Navy at Pearl Harbor. She shocked those who underestimated her with a display of uncharacteristic verbal skill and acuity.

There were no “word salads,” only cutting, coherent sentences fired from the mouth of a seemingly seasoned trial lawyer.

Trump was a battleship and Harris was a nimble Mitsubishi Zero. He was only able to hit her a few times and found himself most often on the defense. This time the battle went to the Democrats.

She wants another debate, I hear, just like the Japanese wanted to wrap up their victory with a final battle at Midway. But let’s not forget how that turned out. It did not go well for Hirohito’s navy.

A Strategy Revealed

Another thing I witnessed was Harris continuing with a strategy previously used by her boss. Just like Biden did all the time, she brazenly applied Joseph Goebbles’ doctrine to her method of attack: if you tell a big enough lie, and you tell it often enough, it becomes truth.

She did this with her “no late-term abortion” lie; the Charlottesville “fine people” lie; the “inherited chaos” lie; the “anti-military” lie; the “Trump is a racist” lie; the “bloodbath” lie; the “first day dictator” lie; the “personal gain” lie; and the “he’s always lying” lie. And sadly, which is par for the course, the media never called her on it, for they have been doing the same thing.

My Prediction

If the American people continue to put 2 and 2 together, they will look past the polished rhetoric delivered during the debate and see the steaming pile of feces for what it is.

The economy IS in shambles; babies ARE aborted late term; she WAS the beneficiary of a soft coup; she DID lie about the health of the current sleeping president; she WILL push for mandatory gun buy backs; she WILL destroy private insurance; she WILL continue to use the legal and justice system to squash opponents; she WILL NOT fix the border she never visited; she WILL attack parental rights; she WILL NOT bring peace to any conflict; she WILL raise taxes on the middle class; she WILL push more industry out of the country; and she WILL bring us closer to global war through her continued nasally weakness. And don’t think for one moment that being the first “black woman” president will ease racial tensions – they WILL get worse.

Other than that, if I understand it correctly, should Harris win the next election, we will finally be unburdened from the past and there will be joy.

Has anyone got an extra vomit bag?

Two Thoughts on Rumors and Conspiracy Theories

Hey, everyone. I just want to say two things about all the “did you hear?” stories that keep coming up.

The FIRST thing is: even trusted “sources” can relay bad information.

What you hear might actually be factual, but information can be true and false at the same time when context and interpretation are skewed. Remember, even your “sources” have world views and agendas. If you cannot go to the ORIGINAL source of the information and see for yourself what is being reported, be careful what you repeat.

But here’s the SECOND thing, and it’s really, really, important. Don’t be blind to the obvious while in search of the hidden.

We are so likely to jump on the bandwagons of juicy, new conspiracy theories that we will ride them off the cliff of insanity, ignoring the obvious street signs and billboards as we zip past.

I say all this because despite all the hidden agendas, secret societies, and billionaire evil donors out there, it DOES make a difference for whom you and I vote or support. OBJECTIVE MORALITY based on an Immutable Standard does exist, and it is our job as citizens to be the first to vocally and politically advocate for it.

Political parties and their candidates are always quick to tell us what we want to hear, but their track records are not secret. As long as we don’t erase history, all we have to do is look back to determine what kind of future will unfold. Therefore, more important than bringing to light dark agendas and conspiracies, we should not be silent when fundamental, foundational Truths are destroyed right before our eyes.

Ultimately, we are not responsible for the plots hatched around boiling cauldrons, but we will be held responsible for how we steward the obvious.

June 6th… Would We Do It Again?

d day

Eighty years have passed since the pride of the Allies, 156,000 strong, stepped out of landing craft and jumped out of airplanes into the mouth of a monster ready to eat them alive.

Eighty years have passed since young men from America, England, and Canada (and we must not forget Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Poland) landed on beaches called Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword.

Eighty years ago, long before the fancy rock-climbing walls which are so popular in today’s health clubs and gyms,  the 2nd Ranger battalion “led the way” up the 100 ft. cliffs of Pointe du Hoc.

Eighty years ago, on the 6th of June, 2,499 American and 1,914 from the other Allied nations, a total of 4,413, gave their lives for the sake of freedom.

Eighty years ago men were stepping on the backs of their comrades as they sloshed through red water, breathed in the mist of war, and wondered if they would live to see the ground only yards (meters) in front of them.

On June 6, 1944, eighty years ago, it was said of those who landed:

“They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate.” — President Franklin D. Roosevelt, radio broadcast, June 6, 1944

It is the 6th of June, 2024, but are we still a people with the stomach to liberate? If we were the ones living eighty years ago, where would we be today?

Ask those who take a knee, or hide in a locker room when the anthem is played.

Ask those who protest the same American flag that their African-American ancestors fought and died for – the same ancestors who fought in segregated units, but were still ferociously proud to be Americans. What did the pilots of the Red Tail Squadron do when the flag was raised and the anthem was played?

For that matter, what did Tuskegee Airmen Dr. Harold Brown, a pilot with the renowned 332nd Fighter Group in World War II (an all-black squadron) say when asked the following question during a recorded conference call: “Why [when the slavery trappings, the discrimination was all there] would you raise your right hand and swear to defend this country?”

“Oh, that’s very, very simple, in my opinion. I was a citizen of the United States of America! This was my country, too! Even though it had some shortcomings, it was still the greatest country in the world. There is no other country I would ever trade for it.” (Feb. 28, 2018)

Ask those who are burning the American flag because “America was never great.”

Ask the protesters who don’t even know why they protest.

image

The reflection pool at the WW2 Memorial in Washington, D.C. Each gold star represents 100 Americans who died or remain missing during the war.

It cost a lot to buy eighty years of freedom. Would we do it again?

They would have to be willing to fight to defend something, and too many no longer believe what was purchased with the blood of others is worth fighting for.

Would we be willing to do it again?

If not, God help us.

YouTubing Older Posts

Good evening, everyone! I thought I would take a moment to share with you what I’m about to do.

As some of you may already know, I started a new YouTube channel called Edify!. Yes, that’s with an explanation point because there is another channel out there by the same name without one.

The goal of the channel is to upload videos every day of the week (which is a rather monumental task when one works a full-time job). They are less than 10 minutes long so they can also be posted to TikTok on the same days as YouTube.

Honestly, since I am not regularly preaching anywhere these days, this is a good outlet for me. I guess what I do in these videos is teach more than preach, but you will catch me on a soap box once in a while.

But since preparing new material for 5 times a week can be challenging, it should not surprise you that some of what I am going to be sharing on video are older posts I wrote for this blog. Why not? All I have to do is tweak them a little, add them to the teleprompter software, and then presto! A video!

One of the first post-to-videos I do will be on my “pre-salvation testimony.” For that matter, next week’s theme will be about having a personal testimony, a story to tell.

If you haven’t already visited my new channel, I’d really appreciate it if you would. And, if you have any suggestions on how I could make the channel better, please let me know.

October 20th Video

God bless you all!

My Thoughts on the Latest Trump Indictment

Here we go again.

The first thing I want to ask is this: Does anyone even remember what made them hate Donald Trump in the first place? It’s been so long; I would venture to guess that most people have forgotten and have just become accustomed to a daily desire to see him crucified.

The second thing I want to ask is this: What did Donald Trump ever do to you to hate him so much? Seriously, there may be a few people in the country who’ve gotten into disagreements with President Trump and cannot forgive him for some reason. I mean, seriously, he was a New York businessman, the one who “fired” people on national television – some people loved him; some hated him; most just didn’t care.

Third, what did Donald Trump do so bad that it’s worth pursuing any and every hint of a wrongdoing, not to mention a punishable crime, in order to finally destroy him (and by “destroy” I do mean it literally)? What other people in this world have garnered so much long-term hatred and persistent attacks? Anyone? Bueler? Anyone?

Fourth, aside from what the radical Hollywood type, the sexually-perverse, and the baby aborters claim, what harm has President Trump done to anyone in the country, especially the average Joe, by keeping documents at his residence? How far will the claim that “no one is above the law, not even a President” be applied in the future?

Every claim that the Left has made until now has either been shown to be made up, exaggerated, or a flat-out lie meant to drum up rage. NOTHING has stuck to President Trump because there was nothing sticky. How are we really expected to believe that this last attempt to arrest Trump is based on a Scout-honoring, moral-high-groundish, damned-if-we-don’t kind of ethic?

Who is being arrested and prosecuted for creating false documents, false narratives, false accusations, and FAKE NEWS in order to remove a sitting President? What is wrong with this picture? Since we are ALL human, dig deep enough and search far enough and all of us will be found guilty of something, if only intent. However, there have got to be a dozen people guilty of treasonous and scandalous federal crimes against our nation AND the President who are getting off Scott free in the pursuit of ANYTHING unscrupulous in Donald Trump’s entire life!

So, what if Trump is guilty and found to be so? In the meantime, why shouldn’t the American people rise up in righteous anger? We the People did NOT want this charade of justice to go on and on and on like this, and we certainly didn’t want our President to be constantly maligned in front of the world for eight years!

So, to make things fair, starting with ANY Kennedy, Clinton, Obama, and especially Biden who was/is associated with the White House, each Democrat should have a special investigator allotted unlimited funds to scour the hidden their hidden records, search their underwear drawers, and pay their ex-boyfriends and girlfriends to talk about what led to their breaking up.

That’s my thoughts. What’s yours?

More Offensive Words, More SMH

The University of Southern California School of Social Work has decided to eliminate the world “field” from its curriculum and replace with language that is “more inclusive” and less likely to offend.

To be clear, it is not USC as a whole, only the School of Social Work.

The reasoning is simple: going out into “the field” to work “may have connotations for descendants of slavery and immigrant workers that are not benign.” In other words, using “field,” as in going out into the field to do social work, is racist, specifically anti-black and anti-immigrant.

I’m not making this up. Unfortunately, it’s not joke, either.

Folks, how much more of this are we going to have to endure? Would it help if we simply did away with that nasty, imperialistic, white privilege language of English and replace it with something else? That might be the easiest and least offensive option!

For example, we could go back the native languages of the American continent since they were here first. We could switch from English to Cherokee or Creek.

Or, since we are including immigrants in this, not just slaves, we could surrender the English language to Spanish! Because, as we all know, the Hispanic and Latin nations never sent slaves into the “campo” to work.

Wait! Doesn’t “campo” sound a lot like “campus”? It definitely sounds like “camp.” Do you know how many people have been placed in camps to work? We can’t use that word anymore because there are connotations for Russians, Jews, Christians, Japanese, and Muslim terrorists that are not benign.

Maybe this is more complicated than I thought!

Just think for a second of how many other words are also racist! What kind of language will we have left if we ban them all?

  • Cotton
  • Hoe
  • Whip
  • White
  • Pick
  • Row
  • Soil/Dirt
  • Beat
  • fence
  • chain
  • link
  • guard
  • dog/hound
  • rope
  • knot
  • string
  • up

Because, when you’re already thinking about something, when it’s on your mind all the time, just about any word can be associated with that something.
