Eat More Chicken

-


I read this on Facebook.



Am I homophobic?  (unreasonable fear of homosexuals )  NO!

Do I agree with homosexuality?  No

Why?  Because The Bible says that it is a sin - and as such - these people are doomed to spend eternity in hell for this decision.  

What do I do?  I welcome homosexuals to attend church with me - they will not find themselves in a hostile environment.  I welcome their friendship.  

Why would I do that?  I love them so much that I want to get to know them and for them to know me.  Before I say anything about their lifestyle I want them to know who I am - for my words to mean something - for my actions to have the opportunity to prove what I say. 

Will I eat more chicken today at Chick- Fil- A?  Yes. 

Why?  Because I believe that any person in this country has the right to say that they are a homosexual and that any person in the country has the right to disagree with that statement.  I’m not eating chicken to send a message to the homosexual community that I hate them - I am sending a message that I will not tolerate someone rights being trampled on.  

Now some would say that Dan Cathey’s statements trample on homosexual rights.  Really?  There are radical Islamists who say I am an infidel and should die - but I don’t see anyone complaining about that.  There are high ranking government officials who say that religion is a plague on America - but I don’t see anyone running them off.  

When we, as a country, decide that it’s wrong to disagree with someone else, that’s the moment that liberty ceases to exist.  Is this a political statement?  I guess so.  

So let me make a spiritual statement.  Jesus loves you!  Let me prove it to you!

What A Day!

Today is Mothers Day.  On this day:  More people purchase fresh flowers and plants for Mother's Day than for any other holiday except Christmas/Hanukkah. In 2019, the National Retail Federation (NRF) estimates that US consumers will spend $25 billion celebrating Mother's Day. Shoppers will spend an average of $196.00 on Mom. According to the Insure.com 2018 Mother's Day Index, the various tasks moms perform at home would be worth $68,875 (up from $67,619 in 2017) a year in the professional world. https://www.cnn.com/2013/09/06/us/mothers-day-fast-facts/index.html Motherhood is God's idea, and He had a great idea!  He created Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and said in Genesis 1:28, "... And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply... "   They had kids, their kids had kids, and the rest is history.  But where did Eve learn how to be a mom?  She didn't have one, remember?   I can only surmise, but I think these are good

Parenting Simplified (Well I tried to.)

Betty doesn’t like me blogging about her too much. So let me go with one more for now and let you see a bit of her heart.  She doesn’t like the world any better now than when she gave birth to Anneka. (Neither do I.)   If you think that’s a strange thing to say, you’re right. But let me explain myself.  The idea that a child will make your world a better place isn’t accurate. Stop shouting at the screen. Just keep reading.   Before we got pregnant, both of us had enough wisdom to understand what we were doing, in as much as we knew that this would change our lives.  Would it be for the better? That was the plan.  Would it enrich our lives? We hoped so.   But to think that a child would turn our world into a magical place of perfection and joy was never a thought.   If anything, the world worked against us from day one. (Still is.) There were challenges of all kinds and new hurdles to jump. Just about the time you thought you were out of the woods, BAM, here we go again.   Betty was and

Back From Nashville

-
We are home after a very long drive from Nashville yesterday. Something about being locked up in a small car for hours with the people you love will test your patience.  But here are a few observations that I took away from yesterday.  Everyone took care of each other. Driving on strange roads afforded us different challenges. While there was some yelling, "Watch out!" Everyone took care of everyone else.  Teamwork made a difference as we drove and slept in shifts. This didn't make the drive any shorter but a little easier.  Questions were valuable. While using the Wayz app, we would ask, "Are we on the right road?" and "Are there any cops ahead?"  Everyone cared about the other person "Are you hungry? Do you need to go to the bathroom? Did you get some sleep?"  After 12 hours of this, we arrived home. Tired and happy it was over. The reward of arriving at your destination feels great.  When you look at your life, ask yourself a few of questi
