Within the confines of Facebook I posted a question regarding whether people truly believed Al Gore and the Global climate change theory. It was brought to my attention that some did in fact believe, and some of those who do believe are also ones that believe in the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. It seems to me this is a contradiction in that if one believes in God and that He is the Creator of all things, and in this case the Earth and everything in it, that he also is great enough to sustain the Earth throughout all of mans merger existence here.
The question is can man destroy that which God has created and if so does that imply that man is greater then God? I would suggest it does and I would also suggest that it is false. Man cannot destroy that which God has created. God declared that he would supply all of our needs according to his riches. This is not limited to our personal needs, but to the needs of mankind, which includes all the fossil fuels we would ever need, as well as every other sources of energy and a planet that would continue to be a inhabitable place suitable for his creation.
Now to the question once again, yes I must admit that God created man and we can destroy other humans through the efforts of war, crimes, abortion as well as perhaps a few other methods I am unaware of. This, however is a unique situation in that because of the sin of Adam man can die. You see there were two trees in the Garden,the one of the knowledge of Good and Evil and the tree of life. Now had Adam eaten of the tree of life he would and all of mankind would be eternal beings living forever. However because he did not and ate from the other, being disobedient he was able to die, and all of mankind can also. So we have a situation in which this one part of Gods creation is able to destroy itself earlier then the normal span of time God has determined, unless of course those acts are somehow within his plan. I am not suggesting he has determined some people to be murdered or aborted, I am only suggesting God has all things under his control. If he does not, then he is not God.
Now to the point of climate change, the political motivated notion that we are in the midst of Global warming and that it is caused by mankind. How brash and self centered to think that puny little man can have anything to do with the power of God to sustain this Earth and everything in it until he has determined to destroy it.
Let me explain just a faction of the real science behind the falseness of this claim of Global warmer. First the Earth is warmed by the Sun, this is the God created way.
There are several factors involved here, the amount of Solar activity is one. This activity creates Solar wind. The other factor is the Cosmic particles that are constantly bombarding the Earths atmosphere. These particles combine with the atmosphere to product low level cloud cover, a thin layer sometimes not actually vi sable to the naked eye, yet still there. When these happen, these low level clouds block a portion of the Sun's rays that warm the planet and we have a global cooling.
When there is a high amount of Solar activity the Solar winds blow these particles away from the Earths atmosphere before they reach it and thus not allowing the formation of low level clouds and in turn allowing a greater amount of the Sun's rays to reach the Earth and this produces a warmer climate period.
This has been the science which has been at work for all of creation, before mankind had any machines or factories, cars, etc. And the fact is we are in a low Solar activity period and are ,in fact, in a climate cooling period.
Another factor to consider regarding the machines of mankind and God's creation.
The North American Continent has been declared a "carbon sink" which means the Earth has responded to the effects of mankind. Here in the Americas during the industrial revolution we created an increase of carbon dioxide, which Al Gore and the like would have people believe is the reason for Global warming, however, God in his greatness created an Earth that would respond, The facts are the vegetation here in the Americas has been growing larger and faster then anywhere else in the world, using up this carbon and in turn producing an abundance of Oxygen, if fact the vegetation is using up the carbon faster then we can make it, thus the carbon sink.
Just watch the Planet Earth series to see just how great His creation is.
There is just way too much proof of how God is able and has been able and will continue to be able to be greater then man then I can write in one blog. however, I did want to address these issues, at least the surface of these issues to demonstrate that God is in control, and man cannot overcome or overpower that which God has set in motion.
God has always been greater then man, and will always been.
Man should not think more of himself then he ought to, he is just man, created by God!

Now for your more traditional thanksgiving blog, I must tell you there are several things that I am indeed very thankful for.
1. For having been called and saved by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

3. For two great Son in laws that know the Lord and desire to be the husbands and fathers that God desires them to be.
4. For 4 Granddaughters who are growing into beautiful souls
5. For a sister I have recently reconnected with and appreciate being able to spend time with her.
6. For extras years my gracious Lord has given to me that I might spend:
with my wife
with my daughters
and to watch my granddaughters grow
but must of all to have more years here to serve Him,
to minister in His name for His kingdom
to prayerfully have some influence upon others for His kingdom.
I am forever grateful and thankful for all He has done in me and for me and through me. Truly this is that one day I can court along with all my other days, Thank you Lord, for saving my soul.

The Real Thanksgiving Story
I know this is not a popular story, and a story that our great liberal education system has infiltrated the minds of youth for far too many years in an attempt to create social change.
However, I want to relay the real story, a story that is based on the true records and accounts that have been discovered and are on the record.
A story that reveals the first efforts that caused so much failure and resulted in the death of many of the early Pilgrims was, at its fundamental root, socialistic or even communistic in nature.
Read the story:
Did you know that the first [Plymouth Colony Pilgrim's] Thanksgiving was a celebration of the triumph of private property and individual initiative?
William Bradford was the governor of the original Pilgrim colony, founded at Plymouth in 1621. The colony was first organized on a communal basis, as their financiers required. Land was owned in common. The Pilgrims farmed communally, too, following the "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs" precept.
The results were disastrous. Communism didn't work any better 400 years ago than it does today. By 1623, the colony had suffered serious losses. Starvation was imminent.
Bradford realized that the communal system encouraged and rewarded waste and laziness and inefficiency, and destroyed individual initiative. Desperate, he abolished it. He distributed private plots of land among the surviving Pilgrims, encouraging them to plant early and farm as individuals, not collectively.
The results: a bountiful early harvest that saved the colonies. After the harvest, the Pilgrims celebrated with a day of Thanksgiving -- on August 9th.
Unfortunately, William Bradford's diaries -- in which he recorded the failure of the collectivist system and the triumph of private enterprise -- were lost for many years. When Thanksgiving was later made a national holiday, the present November date was chosen. And the lesson the Pilgrims so painfully learned was, alas, not made a part of the holiday.
Happily, Bradford's diaries were later rediscovered. They're available today in paperback. They tell the real story of Thanksgiving -- how private property and individual initiative saved the Pilgrims.
And so we see the Indians had nothing to do with this story, nothing at all, it was a pure and simple change from a "spreading the wealth around" concept, those who worked hard had to share with those who did not work hard, all was in common,it created strife and hardship for all, to a system of free enterprise. When each person was allowed to own his own land and keep and sell the fruits of his individual labor, the colony was successful.
Let us learn a lesson, Let us not allow this new President to turn our country back into the same common state that caused so much failure and death in the past.
So Happy thanksgiving to all and to all a good feast

Well home sweet home
Just a short and sweet story about a couple deeply in love and how after 10 days of being apart they have been reunited once again. I am home after driving my dear sister to her new Southern residence in Naples and doing a little fix up work to help her get settled in. So here I am back in the arms of the bride of my youth.

The time is almost here
Well, I am starting to think about getting ready to drive my sister to Florida, I know I have been so preoccupied with this election, so much is at stake and I can't help felling a little hopeless because of all the media bias and the like. But I still am putting my trust in the Lord and am thinking about getting to the Southern potion of the Country. I admit I am not sure how much space will be left in my sisters car for some of my clothes that I will need to the week I am staying with her to help her get settled in before I fly home, I really don;t need to bring anything back with me at all, as I can leave whatever I take there. Like no bag at all on the plane except my Laptop of course, where would I be without it. But I am the pack-master and I will find some room. My sister is of course packing for 6 months now that she is a condo owner and will be there for a lot longer time then in the past, It has been neat to watch her change from being there one month to two months and then 3 and now 6. It is far better for her to be completely out of the cold. I have mixed emotions about the 3 months we will be gone, I am looking forward to spending time with my sister, although our views are so different, and this year who will have there candidate in the White House, OH BOY! yet I am so much going to miss being around my little sweetpeas. Isabelle and Sophia, not to mention my daughter, who is going to have her back surgery before we leave, which may delay our departure a week or so, due to helping her thru this recovery period. But I am getting in the mode of thinking about Florida, and what that all means.

Excuse me Sen. Obama
Once again I yield my space to the words of another. who I am not sure, yet I know these truths to be self evident. I have heard each of these exposed on a number of places of which I have confidence in. and so I offer this for your reading pleasure or pain, depending on your persuasion
Although I must admit for those who are devoted and persuaded to the cause of liberty and personal freedom, to those who believe that the fruits of ones own labor should actually belong to that one who worked for it, to those who do not wish to have the orsenwellion future of big brother not only watching, but rather overseeing each and every persons life and death, this could be a painful read, if the left has done enough voter fraud work to actually achieve it's goal.
Nevertheless please read on:
Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean Senator Obama, sir. Um . . know you are busy and important and stuff. I mean running for president is very important and . . . ah . . . I hate to bother you. I will only take a minute ok, sir?
See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.
I can't seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be "locked" or "not available'. I'm sure it's just some oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are . . . I . I . . . have them written down here somewhere . . . oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out. I'll just read it to you.
Could you help me please find these things, sir?

You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.
You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.
BUT....
'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. After
143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World .... 143 days.
We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is - a start.
AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public is okay with this and campaigning for him. We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are okay with this for the President of the   ; United States of America ? Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol!

The Sum of Good Government
Here it is my friends, 1st a quote from one of the founder fathers of the constitution of this great land. and a Federalists at that!
A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.
- Thomas Jefferson, 1801
NOW THIS IS WHAT IS DEFINED AS TRANSFER OF WEALTH. OR TAKING THE MOUTH OF LABOR THE BREAD IT HAS EARNED.
The transfer of wealth can occur in various ways. Some methods for transferring wealth are voluntary transfers from those who have it to those who do not. Other methods involve forcibly removing the wealth from those who have it and redistributing it to those who do not. Redistribution of Wealth, in political/simple terms is "taking from the rich to give to the poor". Although this is a simple view, the ideas and implementations by governments to facilitate this process is generally considered negative, and the impact is negligible. It could be argued, that Redistribution by choice creates as many positive outcomes (or more) than "by force".
All political and economic systems facilitate the redistribution of wealth including Capitalism, Communism and Socialism, however the favored method of redistribution varies from system to system. Capitalism relies primarily on the voluntary purchase and sale of goods and services, whereas Communism and Socialism typically use involuntary methods such as taxation and nationalization of property.
AND FINALLY THIS IS THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN LABOR AND THE WOULD BE GOVERNMENT
Wurzelbacher explained that by working hard (10-12 hours a day) he was in a position to buy a business. If he bought a truck and expanded the business, he wondered if his success would be greeted by a penalty in the form of higher taxes.
“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” Wurzlebacher asked.
“It’s not that I want to punish your success,” Obama explained. “I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
IN ORDER WORDS SEN OBAMA DESIRES TO ACT OUTSIDE THE CONSTITUTION AND FORCE LABOR TO GIVE UP FROM ITS MOUTH THE BREAD IT HAS EARNED SO HE CAN GIVE IT TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT EARNED IT.
THAT IS SOCIALISM!
