My daughter has a Blog and told me I should get one. In fact, she said I already had one. Well, I don't like the name Blog so I changed it to Blob which rhymes with slob and as I am somewhat of a slob that sounded just right! |

Someone asked, through the comments page, for my Testimony so HERE it is!
As I watch our Citizenship being stolen from us by Illegal aliens.
As I watch the Fraudster-in-Chief and the Progressive DemocRATS destroying our Republic, I can't help but believe we are in the last days.
But enough of this talk. Let us talk about something useful. Back in 1971 I joined the United States Army and enlisted for Airborne school and Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic school. Most enlistees were poor and had low draft numbers. If you were drafted, you went in for two years. If, like me, you enlisted, you went in for three years.
Talk about equality. We were all GREEN. Green shirt. Green pants, Green hat, GREEN. We all looked the same. We all got paid the same too. We all had the same rank, Private. The lowest of the low. We were all as equal as you can get.
Now, fast forward a year. A large number of my fellow soldiers are now flat broke. They have basically nothing. No money, except what the army pays them each month and that quickly disappears. No physical things except a state of the art stereo system. Others have money in the bank and a start on a fruitful life. What happened? We were all equal and yet now some have a lot more then others. So what is the difference between these two groups that started out so equal? At least equal economically. Culturally? Well that is another thing entirely.
In my sociology and anthropology classes in collage we studied different Cultures. Wikipedia defines Culture as "an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals in these groups. A cultural norm codifies acceptable conduct in society." All of my college teachers told us that while many Cultures were different from each other, they were all basically equal. Which is, of course, total hog feces. Some Cultures are good, some are bad, and some are horrible. It depends on the Norms or Mores of each Culture. Norms and Mores are the customs of a group people.
So where do Cultural Norms or Mores come from? They come from two different sources. God or man. I'm not going into too much detail on man made Mores. They are pretty much a disaster wherever they are exclusively applied. look at places that apply man made mores. Most recent is former Capitalist, now socialist, Venezuela. Chile is now following. Then there is Russia, China, most all of Africa, I could go on and on but I won't. We need to look at something that works. That leaves us with God. God or, more accurately, Jesus made us so it stands to reason Jesus would know what works best for us.
As I write this, I am watching the TV show "I (almost) got away with it." You know, the crooks always think "I'm a lot smarter then the police", but they never are. Same thing with communists and socialists. They think they are so smart, but they are not. Their polices, man's mores, NEVER work.
Coming back to my fellow Paratroopers. I saw something very interesting. If you followed good mores your economic position went up. Slowly but surely up. So what are these Mores? Look in the Bible. Let me list some of them for you.
I'm sure you can add more to the list. The point being Cultures that adhere to these mores produce a better lifestyle for their members at every level of that Culture, from poor to rich. No matter what anyone says a high tide does indeed float all boats. But you have to have a boat in the water to float higher.
Cultures and people that follow these rules move up the economic ladder. The more you follow these beliefs the better you will do in life. Prove it to your self. Get a world map and look where the "rich" countries are and where the "poor" counties are. The "rich" countries are not "rich" because of natural recourses but because they are following these principles and mores.
Look at Africa. There are many places where diamonds are found but the people in those places are poor because their Cultures do not follow these principles. Notice this too. These principles and mores will work for rich or poor, black or white or any other skin color, race, creed or nationality. I saw this happen many times in the army. Follow Biblical principles and you will thrive and get ahead in all things in your life. Follow poor values and mores, like those common to communistic societies, socialistic societies, inner city societies and you will always be doomed to live on the lower economic tracks.
If you think about it, these mores are not white privilege, like the "woke" Democrats say. They are Biblical privilege and these privileges are open to, and will work for, anyone who wants to use them. That is the trick though, you have got to commit to and use these mores. You can't break the law by sneaking over the border and then claim to be law abiding. You can't obey the law only when it benefits you and then break it when it suits you. The same with all the other mores. As Yoda said "Do or do not, there is no try."
If you commit to these mores and stay true to them you will receive their benefits. If you don't, you will loose their benefits. That's just the way it is.
I am but a voice crying in the wilderness.
John 3:15-18 "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." |
