A Christmas State of Mind

"Christmas is not a time nor a season, 

but a state of mind. 

To cherish peace and goodwill, 

to be plenteous in mercy, 

is to have the real spirit of Christmas."

How to Fix the United States’ Troubles

  

We are a blessed nation.

2 Chronicles 7:14 gives the solution to this nation’s troubles.

It all depends on us.

“If my people, which are called by my name,

(Christians)

 shall humble themselves,

(having or showing a modest or low estimate of one’s own importance)

and pray,

(just talking to God)


and seek my face,

(worship, Bible reading, prayer, quiet listening)

and turn from their wicked ways;

(What are we watching on t.v. or movies? What are we reading? Is it wholesome? Are we seeking a clean pure heart? Kind to others, even those at home? Honest? There are all kinds of sins that some Christians overlook. We need to really seek the Lord and ask him to reveal those to us. We need to be different than the average American.)

then will I hear from heaven,

and will forgive their sin,

and will heal their land.”

Let’s do our part!

Thank you God!

Many of my readers are not in the United States. This applies to your country as well!

It's Not Just About Firecrackers and Picnics!

 Happy Independence Day!

We are a blessed nation still.

Pay the Taxes or Pay the Rent?

You know and I know that taxes are way too high; and, so is the national debt.  I don't debate that.  I do not, however, get angry or upset about paying our taxes.  Why?  

• I see paying our taxes a little differently.  
• I see paying our federal taxes as paying rent to live in the most wonderful country in the world.  
• Rent to have freedom like nowhere else.  
• Freedom to make choices that contradict popular opinion.  
• Freedom to worship my God and my Lord Jesus Christ in the way I choose.  
• Sold out to Jesus and not hiding it...that's worth the price in itself.

Spread Sunshine All Over the Place!

My Grandma Mamie was a sunshine spreader!

Spread sunshine all over the place

and put on a happy face. 

I moved to this small Southern Missouri town nearly 30 years ago. I moved from a big city and thought I was moving to Mayberry! A lot can change in 30 years. The town has grown to about 15,000, which might seem big to some of you and small to others.

Small towns are supposed to be friendly, but they will only be friendly if we are. For that matter, my dad lives in Kansas City. He grew up in a very small town in Northeast Missouri. He is small town friendly in his neighborhood! Like father like daughter, I have a personal friendliness campaign. You can, too, no matter where you live.

Smile, open the door, offer to help others, talk to people—cashiers, people in line, other shoppers, receptionists, the librarian, the man who makes your sandwich, the gas station attendant, police officers, the postman—everyone!

Everyone needs a friendly word, or a smile, or even a prayer.

Don't be afraid to ask someone if you can pray with him or her, then do it right then if possible! It's a wonderful encouragement, and prayer works!

This is even more important than ever in 2020! No matter where we live, we need to make sure that the "social distancing" doesn't end up making us unfriendly and distant from each other in the long term.

God bless you! Have a wonderful week! Remember to share the love of Jesus with others!

Got to get busy now!

Keep on the Sunny Side!

I am American!

I am an American.

I was born in the U.S.A.

It's okay if you weren't, just go through the legal steps to citizenship.

It's hard, because it is a privilege not a right.

I support, respect, and pray 

for President Trump.

I respect the office of president and our election process; therefore, President Obama was my president even though I believe he did not put America's interests first. 

I fly the American flag.

I pledge allegiance to the flag 

and one nation under God.

I am a Christian,

and there is no other way to God 

but through his son Jesus.

I believe in the Ten Commandments.

Jesus summed them up in two:

Love God and Love others.

I believe in the Golden Rule.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I obey the laws.

I believe in The United States Constitution.

I believe in the 2nd Amendment.

Keep the guns in the hands of the good guys not just the bad guys!

I believe in marriage between one man and one woman.

I believe that God created us male or female. 

It was His choice not ours.  

We must pray for our country.

There are many who are trying to destroy it to gain more power.

There are many who are blindly following them.

There are a few people who are trying to lead 

this country into a downward spiral of sin.

It's ugly. 

Elections are this year.

Vote to keep this country

the land of the free

and the brave.

Thank you Veterans.

Thank you military personnel.

Thank you military families.

Thank you statesmen who are fighting for our country.

God bless America

Land that I love

Stand beside her 

And guide her

Through the night with the light from above....

God bless America

Prayer for America ~ July 2020

Dear Reader,

I ask you to pray in agreement.

Happy Independence Day 2020.

~~~~~

Father God, 

I thank you for the privilege of living in the

greatest nation in the world.

I know that Jerusalem, Israel

is your chosen capital for the world.

But you have blessed the United States

in a way that no other country in history has been blessed.

We were founded on freedom.

We were founded on Biblical principals.

We were founded on equality.

Father God, 

I thank you that you have given us a true

American president. 

President Donald Trump 

is doing everything he can to make America great again.

He is also bringing you, God, back into America.

I am thankful for that.

I ask you to bless him, his family, 

Vice-President Pence and his family,

and those who are trying to truly do what is best for 

our country and for our Christian faith.

Lord, You have been so merciful to our country.

We, as a country, have enemies.

The most dangerous enemies are those

within our own borders.

The most dangerous enemies are those

who choose to destroy our 

faith, our freedom, our social infrastructure,

our borders, our values, our work ethics, 

our marriages, our families, 

and especially our children.

There are powers that are using media, television, 

movies, magazines etc. to destroy America.

They are promoting division of every kind,

hatred, bigotry, racism, 

violence, disrespect, and every evil they can 

imagine.

Father God, 

please forgive those who have chosen

to hurt us all for their own perceived good.

Turn them from their wicked ways.

May your Holy Spirit lead them into truth

and repentance.

Father God,

please forgive us.

Forgive us who call ourselves Christians.

Forgive us for not truly following Jesus.

Father God, 

we are your people.

May each one of us who call you Father,

who call ourselves Christians,

turn from our wicked ways.

We have called on your name,

but we must repent.

We must look different than the world.

Father, forgive us for we have sinned.

Holy Spirit, please speak to each of us

individually.

Jesus, thank you for your salvation.

"For God so loved the world

that he gave his only begotten son

so that whosoever believes in Him

shall have eternal life."

John 3:16

Help us Lord!

God bless America!

Trust, Pray, Repent

Isaiah 40:31KJV

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Fear not!  Things are in a bit of turmoil in our country right now, but God! No matter what happens, you and your family are safe in God's hands. If our nation decides that they want to pursue a destructive path, they will. God has given each of us free will. We can pray that God will intervene, and I believe he did Election Tuesday. More Evangelicals voted than have in decades. Holy Spirit is speaking to his people.

We must trust God no matter what. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. I'm praying for a great awakening in the nation, a revival in the church, and true repentance among believers. 

You know the verse that says, "If my people, who are called by my name... I will heal their land." When it's quoted, it's usually without the "and turn from their wicked ways". Most Christians are too much like the world. Well, maybe all Christians are. 

We must ask Holy Spirit to show us where we need to turn from our wicked ways... even if they are wrong ways of thinking or bad habits. We must take our Christianity seriously.

Just a thought...

I know there is a lot of anxiety about the election. The waiting will be over before we know it. The course for America's future will be set.

For Today... November 3rd, 2016

Outside my window... I see a Novembery gray sky. We are just seeing a bit of color in Southwest Missouri, but leaves are already falling from the trees. I think that the strange temperatures may rob us of a beautiful display of rich colors.

I am thinking... about the election... like most everyone else.  Please listen to this most patriotic of songs as you continue to read.

God Bless America, First Radio performance, 
Armistice Day November 10, 1938, Kate Smith

I am thankful... that God puts leaders in their place. Romans 13:1. He knows the outcome of this election. I am praying that God will be merciful, that he will wake up his people, and they will vote.

I am wearing... a blueberry blue striped t-shirt and my denim skirt. Bare feet. Pale pink toenail polish.

I am creating... nothing at the moment, though I plan to make my list and check it twice very soon. The cooler weather has me in the mood to feather my nest and begin Christmas Kringling. By the way, kringling has my own definition. I once looked it up and it meant something different. To me, it's all that goes into making Christmas and gifts behind the scenes.

I am going... to a nearby town to take my daughter's sneakers to her. She's going to be literature dropping at American Government Camp, and she left them in the van.

I am wondering... who will win. What America will look like after November 8th.

I am reading... I'm reading The Cottage by Michael Phillips along with snatch reading from other books on my Fall Reading List.

I am hoping... to do some cleaning, some more fall decorating, some record keeping and planning, and some sewing this week. 

A favorite quote for today... 

"What we forget is that following God makes us different—from unbelievers, but also from one another. God has created each of us uniquely and for a specific purpose. And in that purpose we can dare to accomplish what he asks of us."

Thoughts on Voting 2016 ~ I LOVE MY COUNTRY

Since I will be working as an election judge this year, I voted by absentee ballot early. There are more than a few folks who don't feel they want to vote this year given our choices for president.

Here's the thing.
I don't like Trump. I don't like Clinton.
BUT I LOVE MY COUNTRY.

I feel a moral obligation to vote. Where does that leave me as a Christian?

In order for my vote to actually count, I must vote for one or the other.

• One, Mrs. Clinton, has clearly shown herself to be a proponent for everything that I find to be against God's laws. Her disregard for human life, for justice, for national security, and the Second Amendment among other things, are alarming. I cannot vote for her. We won't even discuss her lying, her disregard for the Constitution, and possible criminal actions.

• On the other hand, Mr. Trump, while not a model citizen, has pledged to support the Constitution, the Second Amendment, Pro-Life, national security, etc. I don't expect he would be a perfect president. BUT I have a deeper concern.

The most important issue of this election, to me, is The Supreme Court.

Who is going to appoint judges who will uphold the Constitution and Bill of Rights in a manner consistent with the Founders' original intent?

• I am absolutely certain that Hillary Clinton will not be that person.

• I believe that Trump will appoint conservative judges who will do their best to uphold the Constitution. That is major for our country. The Constitution is the glue that holds us all together. It's what will protect our children, our grandchildren and future generations until the Lord returns—IF WE DON'T LET THE JUDGES LEGISLATE FROM THE BENCH!

One final issue—President Obama has made Executive Orders that bypass Congress. I believe that, following his example, Mrs. Clinton would do the same.

I do not believe that Mr. Trump would do that—unless there were a reason that fit in with the original intent of that privilege.

Well, that's how I see it. I want to commend my readers on being very kind and open about this. Mr. Trump has prayed the prayer for salvation. Whether he was serious or not will show itself in time. This I do know. I thank God Christ can change us. I am not who I was. Thank you God!

We all must pray, and please vote.

Election 2016: The Christian's Dilemma ~ A Message from Dutch Sheets About the Election and America's Future

Mr. Sheets has asked that this message be shared if we agree with it. I agree. Please take time to read this. I know it's long. But it is IMPORTANT.

Election 2016: The Christian's Dilemma

Dear Fellow Believers,

As you can tell from my greeting, I am writing primarily to you, the American church. I am doing so personally, not representing Dutch Sheets Ministries. Though this is longer than the blogs I normally send, please read it as an urgent, heartfelt appeal. The sense of urgency I feel is hard to put in words. I have prayed and wept much over the condition of our nation, and continue to be deeply burdened. We are so close to the precipice of a complete self-destruction—a devastation of such magnitude that it would take decades to recover. Some believe a complete recovery would never be possible. The America we have known and loved is being systematically dismantled and reshaped.

Voting is a precious right and a serious responsibility; I realize it is also a very personal and private one. We do it by secret ballot in America for a reason. I don't want to be another voice of manipulation—there are so many in presidential election campaigns—therefore, it is with the utmost caution and conviction that I do this.

I also want to state upfront that I am neither a registered Republican nor Democrat. Years ago, I concluded that if my "calls to prayer" were to be trusted by believers across the board, I would have to issue them as an independent voter. With this in mind, I relinquished my party affiliation, along with the rights to vote in primaries, help shape party platforms, possibly become a delegate, etc. and became an Independent. Since then, like many of you I have become fed-up with both parties—disillusioned with the Republicans, offended and appalled by the Democrats. I say this to assure you that I am not making this appeal in order to stump for "my party's candidate."

Finally, I want to also preface my appeal by saying I have not been a huge Trump fan. Had I been allowed to vote in the primaries, he would not have been my first choice. His seeming arrogance, insults, history of philandering, personal ambition, etc. were very disconcerting to me. I kept an open mind, however, knowing God uses imperfect people and that He is very merciful—I don’t condone sin, but neither do I cast the first stone—and knowing that people do, indeed, change. I was also challenged to remain open-minded about Trump by the fact that several spiritual leaders I trusted were convinced God wanted to use him to overthrow an ineffective and corrupt system. Over time, I came to agree with them. However, for me, this election is not nearly as much about who I am for, as it is who and what I am against; and frankly, even with my initial concerns, the decision has never been easier.

One of the most devastating occurrences in America in our lifetimes, ranking up with The Supreme Court's decisions of Roe vs. Wade and Engel vs. Vitale (the removal of prayer from schools), was the election of Barack Obama. I gave a strong warning about what would happen to our nation if he was elected. Sadly, it has all come to pass: a continued liberalization and empowerment of the judicial system in America; a weakened economy (our national debt has doubled in 7 years to $19 TRILLION!)[1]; further moral deterioration, along with a rebellion to and mockery of God (does anyone remember the White House lit up in the colors of the LGBT movement after marriage was re-defined by the Supreme Court? If that wasn't an "in your face" to God and those of us who "cling to their God, guns and religion" by the man who mockingly said it, I don't know what could ever be!); increased violence; a weakened position in the world, along with a weakened military; the advance of radical Islamist terrorism; a setback in race relations; and more. I rejoice that our nation has been able to elect our first black president. I am deeply saddened, however, that it was Barack Obama.

The damage has been so great that America is now one president away from a complete transformation to secularism, a loss of our Judeo-Christian foundation, the loss of our position as the stabilizing force for good in the earth, and the leading voice of the gospel to all the world. If elected, Hillary Clinton will be the president who finishes the job. She stands almost entirely against everything we, the church, are for, and for everything we are against. Hillary is pro-abortion, including partial-birth abortion, the most insidious evil of the last century; will raise taxes while continuing out-of-control spending; will further weaken our military; is for completely open borders[2]; is pro-gay marriage; supports Obamacare; has no respect for our Judeo-Christian heritage; sells influence; and is a proven liar. Do not be fooled—she will completely finish what Obama started.

The notion peddled by some "Never Trump" Republicans that they can keep Hillary from accomplishing what she wants for 4 years, then replace her with someone they prefer, is laughable. The fact that they should know this, and don't, is truly scary. Even more frightening is...perhaps they do. The Republican Congress has done nothing to stop Obama; why should we believe they will do so with Hillary? When they threaten to curb Obama with "the power of the purse," he simply calls their bluff and either bullies them into giving him what he wants, or simply does as he pleases through unconstitutional executive orders. A Republican controlled Congress has done nothing to defund Obamacare, slow down the TRILLIONS of dollars of debt he has accrued, prevent his treasonous acts with Iran, defund Planned Parenthood and their selling of babies' body parts (can you even believe such a thing even exists, and that the Obama’s and Hillary condone it?!), or stop any number of other inappropriate actions and wasteful expenditures. Much of Washington, DC is an out-of-control cancer that must be cut out.

To be sure, there are Republican leaders who desperately want to change things but the entrenched, lobbyist-owned, career politicians–many of them liberals in conservative clothing–have neither the will, backbone, and perhaps not the intellect needed to change it. Radical surgery is necessary. Again, it is laughable to think that the leadership of this weak and diluted Republican Congress would be able or willing to stop the agenda of the libs once they enjoy an even greater momentum from another White House win. Someone please tell me why we should believe that. If the Republican Party has not sold us out, why did they spend $18.2 million on Bush's election in 2004, $53.5 million for McCain in 2008, $42.4 million for Romney in 2012, and $0 on ads to elect Trump?![3] They have sold us out.

It is also ridiculous, and perhaps insincere, for the "Never Trump" Republican leaders to suggest "we would only need to reverse 4-8 years of damage if Hillary is elected, which in the long run isn't much." Again, these leaders are either lying or horribly deceived. The damage presently occurring to our nation is—in the sense of time—exponential. Every year of damage means closer to 10 years in it's longevity.

How long will it take America to reverse another $4-8 trillion of increased debt? Decades!

How long will it take us to recover from the decimating of our military? Decades!

How long will it take to defeat a now entrenched Obama/Clinton-enabled ISIS? Decades! (And honest military and intelligence leaders admit that we now have many radical Islamist terrorists here in the US, not just abroad.)

How long will it take to undo the loss of appropriate fear, which our enemies, and the enemies of freedom around the world, once had toward us? Decades! (Our enemies now laugh at us, while attacking us with our own weapons, or weapons purchased with millions in ransom money we paid them. While Putin rebuilds the Soviet empire and China makes plans to rule the world, we are disarming. We can’t even identify our enemies. Obama and those around him are foolish and spineless, and our military leaders know it. We are the laughingstock of our enemies. Hillary helped to set this debacle of foreign policy, and she will continue it.)

How long will it take to recover from 2–5 Clinton lifetime appointees to the Supreme Court? Decades! If she appoints five, which is feasible, she will have single-handedly appointed over half of the Supreme Court, and will have given the liberal, non-constitutionalists a 30-40 year, 7–2 majority advantage! (There is one vacancy now, and of the other 8 Justices, the three oldest are 77, 79 and 83; two more are in their late 60’s.) Then there are the several hundred lifetime Federal Judges she would appoint. Obama has already appointed nearly half of our Federal Judges—all liberals—and Hillary would appoint the other half. This entire scenario is unthinkable! If all this occurs, these overreaching, legislating ideologues will finish the job of decimating everything you and I stand for. America as we have known it may then be gone forever. We have less than three weeks to stop this.

Do not listen to the "only four years" crowd!

I also want to make an appeal to those who say their conscience won't allow them to vote for either Trump or Clinton, so they simply won't vote at all. I sincerely respect your convictions, but in this election, that argument fails the logic test (as does voting for someone who cannot possibly win). Trump’s potential negative developments do not come close to the magnitude of those Hillary would produce. We simply cannot—regardless of our concerns regarding Trump—allow all the above-mentioned consequences to happen. I respectfully appeal to you to turn your "conscience" and "principles" toward the unborn, your children, grandchildren, and the destiny of this nation. Please! We have already been down this “not voting” path once before when millions of evangelicals refused to vote for Romney because he was a Mormon. As disgusted as I am with Romney’s current choice of Hillary over Trump, how much better off would we have been with him, rather than 4 more years of Obama?

To see how Trump would actually lead, I would challenge you to look at those with whom he has surrounded himself: Pence; Carson; Huckabee; Giuliani; Christie; Gingrich; Palin; trusted generals; law enforcement officials; border patrol officials; evangelical leaders of all races; and otherwise, ethical, conservative leaders. What does this tell us? It is probably the greatest indicator of who Trump now is, clearly making the case that he has changed his moral ways over the past 10 years, as he claims. I personally believe he has changed. I also believe God has gripped his heart for the nation, and is in the process of further transforming Mr. Trump. God has certainly allowed him to be humbled. Of course, the statements made by Trump on the video released from 2005 were despicable. However, if we reject him because of the sins of his past, we would also have to reject Abraham, King David, Rahab, “the woman at the well”, Mary Magdeline—all adulterers in their unrighteous past. And don’t forget murderers like the Apostle Paul. A lot of formerly despicable people will be in heaven! And a lot of them, by the way, became great leaders and champions for God. Some changed the world.

These associations also tell us that Trump’s stated conservative bent is genuine, and they state that he is wise enough to know what he doesn't know! I believe Trump is showing us that he will function, if elected president, as any wise businessperson does: find qualified people who know how to get the job done, as in the above examples, and empower them to do it. I like those whom he is signaling to us would be those leaders. They are proven, trustworthy and honorable. If you cannot vote for Trump, vote for them.

Hillary, on the other hand, would give us 4–8 more years of polytheists, liberal progressives, media elites, police-haters, global statists, financially irresponsible leaders and a weak military.

Perhaps a better way for the disenchanted to approach this election is to vote AGAINST someone. I would suggest to you that voting against a candidate is a good reason to vote! "Neutrality" is not a valid option at this critical crossroads in history. The times demand that we make a stand! If not for, make your stand against:

Vote against the foolish, selfish, shortsighted, establishment Republicans fighting to maintain their power.

Vote against an immoral, ungodly Democratic Party. (To those who take issue with this characterization, don't forget that they booed God at their convention in 2012.)[4]

Vote against an unelected, unaccountable, overreaching, out of control Judiciary that believes it has the right to reshape America.

Vote against the unethical, biased, lying and untrustworthy media. (We will never reclaim America until we reject their influence. They may be the single greatest obstacle to America's recovery.)

Vote against a weakened military.

Vote against a loss of national sovereignty and a one-world government.

Vote against open borders.

Vote against policies that enable radical Islamist terrorism.

Vote against the removing of our 2nd Amendment rights.

Vote against higher taxes.

Vote against Obamacare.

Vote against the redefining of marriage. (It is not too late to reverse this.)

Vote against abortion-on-demand, partial-birth abortion, and Planned Parenthood with its selling of babies' body parts.

Vote against liberalism and progressivism.

Vote against the silencing of the church. (Only the totally naïve do not see this coming quickly.)

Vote against revising our history and the loss of our Judeo-Christian heritage.

Vote against the politicization and exploitation of racism, and the polarizing of America.

Vote against the slandering and weakening of law-enforcement.

Vote against the politicization of the Justice Department, the FBI and other important departments of government. (Both departments are now undeniably and shamelessly used for political purposes and to oppose Christians and conservatives.)

Pastors, if you've ever made a stand, make one now—it may be your last chance. Tell your people the truth…clearly. Pray and fast! Turn your services into prayer meetings.

To all believers, if you agree with what I have written, forward it to all of your friends and family members. Most of them hear only from a hypocritical, lying media, which is now the propaganda arm of the liberal agenda. Speak up. Appeal to them to read this and think about it.

And vote!

Vote for a future, one that includes what you love and believe in. Trump has flaws, but Hillary will be fatal.

Sincerely,
