Long ago a dear and wise friend warned me that in life you do not draw to yourself the kind of people you like and admire; rather you draw only those who are exactly what you are. In my lifetime I have never been able to prove that my old friends’ advice was wrong.

In politics we see a President who was weaned and tutored in the socialism of Alinsky, Ayers and Wright who now surrounds himself with Czars, cabinet members and appointees who are exactly like his mentors.

In religion Americans are about one hundred times more likely to listen to a preacher or prophet whose message is more akin to Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry be Happy” than the “repent and be saved” of a Billy Graham or Jerry Falwell. No surprise, since the Apostle Paul did warn that in the last days men and women of the faith would apostate and “heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” (2Tim 4:3b)

A few days back, Louse Speaker Pelosi “urged Catholic leaders to ‘instruct’ their parishioners to support immigration reforms.” (“Pelosi Urges Catholic Church to Play ‘Major Role in Immigration Overhaul” Fox News dot com) To quote Dana Carvey’s Church Lady, “Well isn’t that special.”

The horrific harridan continued, “the people, some (who) oppose immigration reform, are sitting in those pews and you have to tell them that this is a manifestation of our living the gospels.” Later, a “Pelosi spokesman” issued this statement, “from health care to energy security to immigration reform, the speaker believes the faith community has played and will continue to play a critical role in our national debate.” “Energy Security”? That is as vapid as “Climate Change.”

I have a few questions for the “speaker,” why have you and your liberal contemporaries had such a problem with “the faith communities critical role” in your abortion obsession? For that matter, please explain how your infanticide matches up with this “manifestation of our living the gospels” tripe.

Infantophobia is a neologistic word whose life expectancy may be no more predictable than the unborn-children it makes reference to, but the word homophobia has a life all of its own, even if in reality it does not deserve one.

Recently attention has been focused on the merging lines of reality and perception in the American psyche. Studies show that those lines are both merging and even blending together in our national life. The effects of Hollywood films, TV, gaming, the Internet and fictional literature have left some Americans in a hazy middle of the road lurch where reality and perception have overlapped and, in some cases perception has fully overtaken reality.

One study showed that for millions of Americans their knowledge of a historical event is so colored by Hollywood that they would discard the history they learned in classrooms and substitute it completely with an altered Hollywood version of the same event.

It is said that all young ministers are bubbling over with the need to say something. It is also followed with the hope that one day when they are more mature; they may actually have something to say. After years of pondering it, here’s something I’m sure, must be said.

It doesn’t take a voluminous theological treatise, a long list of scripture references, an introduction, three points, accompanying illustrations and a conclusion to say all that needs to be said on this subject. All it takes is just a few words spoken by Christ.

Jesus said, “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.” (Mt 18:10)

Following the battle over Obamcare has been daunting and has left millions of Americans exasperated if not in shock. On the surface it looks like a victory for the Dems but, just under the surface is a festering if not slithering heap of lousy politics and dishonesty at the highest levels.

Disregard for rules and procedure was the first thing to enter the sideshow that was Congress on the evening of Sunday March 21, 2010 and, nothing says it better than the clip of Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida who said of the rules, “We make up rules as we go along.” To some degree he is correct because both the House and Senate can make rules to some extent, but they are not to conflict with common protocol and never to interfere with the Constitution.

My, how heroes fade to zeroes in a matter of moments– or in a matter of votes.  Suddenly everyone who was ready to give Scott Brown Obama’s key to the executive washroom is having second thoughts.

In an era where change is touted, it is becoming apparent that most of what is being offered as change is really just taking a chance. Many of the changes offered are being rejected because they seem to be flattening our freedom to make a choice, with one exception.

Over four decades ago I had a dream vision of many of the details of the second coming of Christ. It sent me on a lifetime quest to find out all I could about this great coming event. Today I am far from alone as more people than ever are having visions, dreams and revelations about this wonderful change coming to the world.

One of the side benefits of the call to the prophetic ministry is the ability to discern the dreams, visions and revelations of others. Sometimes it may just be a Freudian thing or that someone ate a sour pickle before retiring for the night that brought on an apparition. At other times God has clearly spoken and even when the recipient of the vision is not sure God has spoken, I am.

I have always treaded cautiously when I hear someone has had a revelation for obvious reasons. Some revelation is false and very misleading. I don’t haphazardly accept everything I hear but I am also reticent to dismiss a matter too quickly. I have often been guided by what the Pharisees concluded when listening to the Apostle Paul’s rendering of the gospel and the vision of Jesus Christ he had as he traveled on the road to the city of Damascus.
