Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Wow-where do I begin! The news media are shouting such conflicting information; famous individuals continue to blatantly lie from "I did not have sex with that woman", to "I was beaten up by two white guys wearing MAGA hats"; Russia is threatening to bomb us if we station offensive weapons close by; the Pope is having meetings with the church's leadership about priests sexual sins and many of our young people are open to Socialism instead of Capitalism and the free market.
 
What planet did I wake up on (excuse the lazy grammar)? It's at times like these that I am ever grateful to have a direct line to Jesus Christ. Some may scoff at that, but our problem today is that we are bereft of the truth, in all of our settings. (Bereft-if you dropped out of school, or went to a public one...look it up. JK, JK!!)
 
Today, I'm shaking my head in disbelief as I hear some use the term, "my truth" Whaaat? It's either true or it's not true...not, "my truth". Example: a whole bunch of people believe with all their hearts that there is a God; a whole bunch of people believe with all their hearts that there isn't a God; and a whole bunch of people believe with all their hearts that there are many gods. Stop and think now, yes, I said think...they all can't be true. If there's only one God, the others are not true, or many gods etc. So if your truth is not true, wouldn't you want to know it? Heck, a whole bunch of really smart people believed with all their hearts that the world was flat--but it didn't make it true.
 
So your quest then is not for a "my truth" moment, but rather your quest should be for the truth. Whether political, educational, emotional, scientific or spiritual, etc...the quest is really for the truth. Let me give you a hint on the spiritual front, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no one gets to God except through Him. John 14:6 gives you the scoop. But, heh, don't trust me, trust Him. He's the only one who can say, "My truth", and when He says, "My truth", you can bet on that.
 
Told you this was a tough workout! Suck it up Buttercup...and get goin'!

Special Forces Training

 Ever feel like you're being pummeled left and right in life. Just think of the Navy Seals and the Army Special Forces trainees. They go through punishing training days and nights. Physical extremes like we can't imagine. Does the military do that to punish them...of course not. These men and women volunteered to do some of the most dangerous, sacrificial, life-threatening missions to protect the Homeland and those who are in need in far away places. It's like that for those of us who have given over our lives to the Lord. If you are serious with Him, be prepared, for you may go through some rigorous training. You may not have the luxury sometimes of the softer things in life; you may be pushed beyond your limits, physically, mentally and spiritually. But, if you are led by the Spirit of God, it will be for a perfect result.  As I shared with a friend the other day, "You are destined to be a strong warrior in the Lord. Satan knows that, and is badgering you to death. I

I believe in tolerance...except with YOU!

Are people drinking crazy juice or something? Twitter, Facebook...you name it. All sorts of comments and stuff that make ZERO sense! Knock it off...get back to your work out!   People go busting windows, knocking people down, cutting them, beating them up and kicking them, all the while calling the poor slob on the ground who's head is being beaten in a "fascist". Is this a bad nightmare? What the heck!!   Really? Screaming for free speech for themselves but totally blocking others. That ain't gonna work. Nothing but bad times ahead if that doesn't stop.   So, whutchu lookin' at...just standing there. Where's your prayer life for wisdom as to what to say or do? Where's your random acts of kindness, your volunteering in a local school or at a local hospital. Just think...if people were so busy helping others (or working), they wouldn't have time to be out splitting open the heads of those with which they disagree.   And you snowflak

Shoot Those Squirrels!

  SQUIRREL!! Do you spend dedicated time alone with God, or are you “chasing squirrels”? It happens to all of us. You just get settled in a quiet place, you’re talking with the Lord, or just listening and the phone rings, or you think of the call you said you’d return, or the laundry that needs to go in the dryer…on and on.   If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that if you want wisdom, understanding and a good day…you better start it with some lone, non-squirrel time with the Lord! In that lone time, be ready to hear from God too. It’s not just a one-way conversation from you to Him. He will speak back to you, to show you, lead you, reveal something to you. You may not like that revelation either, so be prepared. It may be your stubbornness, impatience levels, anger, hidden dishonesty etc. God is not tormenting or rejecting us in these revelations, rather He’s trying to let us know what parts are still broken and need repair.   And…hold on…it gets tougher…sometimes He has to ge
