Two thought processes

If a conservative believes seat belts save lives he wears one while riding in a vehicle.
If a liberal/progressive likes seat belts, he wants laws requiring them and penalties for not doing so.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal/progressive is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative thinks certain foods are not healthy, he does not eat them.
If a liberal/progressive thinks certain foods are not healthy, he tries to have the food banned from restaurants and store shelves.
If a conservative is home schooling his child, he quietly pays his taxes for the public/government school system.
If a liberal/progressive has a child in public/government school, he demands higher taxes and the right to home school chilren be abolished.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he works to better his situation.
A liberal/progressive who is down-and-out wonders what government program is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
But Liberals/progressives demand that those that are not politically correct be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal/progressive non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a false religion, of course!)
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he buys it or finds a job that provides it.
But a liberal/progressive demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative reads this, he'll have a good laugh.
A liberal/progressive will want this censored or deleted because he's "offended" by it.
So if you do not believe this post should be removed you may be a conservative. If you dislike this post pointing out the difference in thought processes between the two, then you are currently a liberal/progressive. Now I used the word currently because I know people can be changed and even if you're a conservative that is not what will matter in eternity. God has a plan for us so we will be able to spend eternity with Him. See John chapter 3 in the Bible to see how to be changed from the inside out.

Time for Thanks

In USA this day is set aside as thanksgiving day and most of retail and commercial businesses are closed along with all levels of government offices. It is nice to take time to reflect on the many things there are to be grateful for. Our nation is still a leader in freedoms enjoyed by our people, we are a nation where no one has to go hungry and shelter is available for all regardless of a lack of financial resources to pay. Health care services are available for all even if unable to pay, free dental clinics abound. Those who have good health, a job, decent housing, investments, savings accounts and private transportation are numerous. Although these things are nice and we should be grateful for them there are other things that are even more important. Our families, freedom to assemble together to worship God, true friends that care about us and that we can call on in time of need. But most of all that God who created us loves us and allowed His son Jesus the Christ to pay the price for our sins so we would not have to and gave a free will to choose to accept or reject His love....Now that is real Love. May all who read this find peace for their journey through life.

Not? Offended...

Have you ever noticed that no one gets offended when someone tries to sell them a product or service. They do not get offended if someone offers them something to drink that could cause them to vomit or have a headache the next morning. They do not get offended when someone offers them something to smoke that could lead to cancer. They do not get offended if a "gay" person demands others accept their lifestyle and pick up the resulting health care tab. They do not get offended when the media makes fun of or puts down a person of faith. They do not get offended by cursing and foul language in public or over the airwaves. They do not get offended by public funds being used to promote anti-family values. They do not get offended by those who would remove the word Christmas and replace it with the holiday season. They do not get offended when Judges do not follow the law they swore to uphold. They are not offended by the debase or crude conduct being accepted in our society.
Their motto is live and let live, everyone should be free to do their own thing with out someone silencing or putting them down. But.............I forgot there is an exception. If you care enough about others to go out of your way to reach out and attempt to help them out of their problems or spend time warning others that there are consequences for life choices... And you do this because you are a follower of the son of God Jesus Christ watch out you will be attacked, put down, laughed at, scorned, shouted down or otherwise silenced no matter the cost. The darkness that surrounds our time has become so thick that few what to hear about Light for living their lives and even fewer look for the Light so they may see. Many believe and place their hope in the darkness, they do not want to hear, see or be challenged by Truth or what is to come..... Ever wonder why that is?

What is real Love

Love is always kind, is not jealous nor does it brag. Love is not prideful, arrogant, self-serving or rude. Love is not irritable, selfish, and does not hold grudges. Love is not easily offended or demand to have its own way. Love is patient and always is willing to give the benefit of any doubt rather than be offended. Love regrets any injustice and rejoices when truth prevails. Love bears all, is full of hope, faith and trust in that which is right.
Love will never fail or die, it is unchanging and forever. When all is lost, Love will still be available for it can not be lost. Faith Hope and Love are all gifts from God and will sustain all who embrace them. May you experience and your life be full of real Love. To know God is to know real Love.

Election is over now what

Many are excited by the big gains by GOP in national elections, but reality is all they can do is slow down the march to socialism. With senate still controlled by Dems, the President will not allow any undoing of the last couple of years of government take over of much of the private sector. Those who continue to place their faith in political leaders for real change and a turn around in the job and housing market will be disappointed. The next thing that can not be avoided is inflation which will only add misery to those who managed to escape the current hard times, while doubling down on those who are already in financial hard times. So what is left do we just give up and accept the fall into a second rate country. There is another choice which is that we finally humble ourselves and pray seeking God and turn from our wicked ways. Then God will hear and forgive our sin and heal our land. Hope is within reach but humbling ourselves before God will not be easy for a nation who has worked so hard to remove knowledge of God from our society. Not to late yet but will be sooner than we think. Seek God now while there is still time that our land may be healed.
