  A City on a Hill

    This following article was taken from Above Rubies e-newsletter. 

“PRAYER CONCERN:

     On September 25th there will be a national prayer gathering of Muslims on the west front of the U.S. Capitol Building. They are expecting at least 50,000 to attend from mosques all across  America. They’ll gather to pray from 4:00 am until 7:00 pm. The
gathering will take place by the site where U.S Presidents have been inaugurated since 1981. The organizers say that it was Obama’s inauguration speech in January and his speech broadcast from Egypt in June that gave them the idea for this prayer gathering on Capitol Hill. 

     One of the Sheikhs who is leading the gathering, stated, “Muslims should march on the White House. We are going to the White House so that Islam will be victorious, Allah willing, and the White House will become into a Muslim house.”

“ OUR TIME HAS COME!”

II Chronicles 7:14

     I love a good holiday!  My husband has been working for a couple of weeks without a day off, so having that end on a long holiday weekend is really great.

    In honor of this holiday, here is a tribute by our favorite comedian to our government.  Enjoy and have a great holiday weekend!

     In dog breeding language, “throwing a litter” means producing a litter.  One breeder may say of a stud dog that he always throws blocky headed pups.  Now, in terms of golden retrievers, being a block head is really good!

     As you may have read, my daughter raises golden retrievers.  That means breeding.  Considering whether to keep one puppy who is going through the ganglies right now, it made her think “Gee, I wonder what kind of children I’ll breed?”  Next comment from brother was, ” Yup, you don’t want to throw any bad litters!”

     No need to worry, our President and his Science Czar would like to take care of this for us!  If they feel you will throw bad litters, you will not be allowed to throw any.  If you pass the “Most likely to Throw Acceptable Litter” test, you will be allowed to throw litters, but only an acceptable amount determined by them. 

     John Holdren, as part of Obama’s quazi government, is the Science Czar.  Back in 1977, he wrote a college textbook, extolling the need for forced sterilization, and population control, including an international regime to police births.  No more bad Litters!  You can read more about this in an interesting post at http://terrysoapbox.blogspot.com/2009/08/we-interrupt-this-blog-break.html.

         This does make one wonder “Who will be allowed to breed?” 

     Will  those problem people who hold to their guns and their bibles?   How do they plan to stop them from throwing litters? 

Lock them up?

Chop off heads?

(he does look a little too happy with that hatchet)

     Well, you see the birth/population control crowd forget one thing.  God is in control!  Even of the womb.  Man can’t see the future or the outcome of any life, but God knows before we are even born.  Before we were, He knew us.  That makes us pretty special.  We may even grow up to be

Capable of great humor,

Able to make silly faces

And clean up after dogs.

Who can make awesome chocolate chips cookies,

then build a retaining wall?

Look, he is chopping down trees… it’s

“The Boy”

     This young man has great value, even beyond his humor!  He very probably would be considered a bad litter by our science czar.  You see, this treat came to us through adoption. 

     In God’s eyes, we are all valuable, so valuable He wanted to adopt us into His family.  The life of His Son was the adoption fee.  Our part is to present ourselves as a living sacrifice  to Him.  That is only reasonable.  You see, no man can put a value on human life.  We really don’t create it; we are only the caretakers of life given.  Treat it special!

     So, what can we do?

We must not just take it any more!

      PRAY!   Daniel was led to pray for the forgiveness of the sins of his forefathers.  Study the prayers of Daniel.

      REPENT!  Clean out our own temples.

      GUARD THE GATE!  Keep the enemy away from your family.

      GAIN KNOWLEDGE!  People perish for lack of knowledge, the biblical worldview kind.

And

Relax !   “For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.”  2Timothy 1:12,

I will get back to the final post on homeschooling soon, but I thought I would share this little bit of humor with you first

     Last November, we replaced our 20 something refrigerator with a new one.  The old one was falling apart and the ice maker had busted when we moved.

     We were all so excited about this brand new shiney appliance in the kitchen.  It is larger, has water and ice in the door and the ice maker works!  Here in the south, that REALLY matters. 

     Little did we know then how important our ice was to our civil government, but recently we found out.  We were having problems with the ice maker not working correctly.  The basket had cracked and that ice maker just wasn’t making much ice.  As I said, ice in the south in July is important!

     Thankfully, it is still under warranty, so out comes the repairman.  He replaced the basket and adjusted the temperature, but could not do anything about the output.  Our civil government’s Department of Energy a couple of years ago decided these refrigerators were causing us to use too much energy making ice and by golly, what about all the water those ice cubes take!   They created regulations  that ice makers cannot make more than about 8 cubes every 1-1/2 hours! 

     Wow, do I feel safer!   But it does make one wonder…

Could the next Czar be in control of Ice Cubes?

       They also decided we were using too much energy preheating our ovens.  Preheating causes the upper and lower elements to both stay on until the correct temperature is set, usually between 5-10 minutes.   They regulated that new ovens should have the top and bottom elements alternately come on until the correct temperature is reached, taking about 15-20 minutes to preheat.  I’m so glad those guys up there are keeping busy. 

     I wonder what Sam Adams would think about all of this? 

Guess I better go fill my supplemental ice trays. 

                                           Keeping cool,

                                           Marcie
