Read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to refer to it someday. Maybe we should all take some of his advice! A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company:

1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put ‘PHOTO ID REQUIRED.’

2. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the ‘For’ line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling (more…)

My Christmas Eve
By Bob Welsh

The hour’s late, should go to bed
Near midnight I believe
But memories keep me wide awake
This snowy Christmas Eve.

Yes, memories of my kids moved on
Each has their separate life
Now the holidays have changed
Since angels took my wife.

The toys, the food, the Christmas cheer,
My wife would bear the load
Because I would work most holidays
State Trooper on the road.

Just sitting in my easy chair
So many years retired
I reminisce of times gone by
And all that’s transpired. (more…)

I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes when I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily apprising a basket of freshly picked green peas.

I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes.

Pondering the peas, I couldn’t help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.

‘Hello Barry, how are you today?’

‘H’lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus’ admirin’ them peas. They sure look good.’

‘They are good, Barry. (more…)

I liked the old paths, when
Moms were at home…
Dads were at work…
Brothers went into the army…
And sisters got
married BEFORE having children!!!
Crime did not pay; Hard work did;
And people knew the difference…

Moms could cook;
Dads would work;
Children would behave…
Husbands were loving;
Wives were supportive;
And children were polite…
Women wore (more…)

Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae ducit !

O God, our Father, it is with grateful hearts that we acknowledge Thy hand in all things and recognize; that Thou hast promised us Eternal Life with Thee through our obedience and the Atonement of thy Son, Jesus Christ; that Thou hast given unto us our loving spouses and goodly parents; that Thou hast provided home and clothing to shelter our family from the storms of life and a bounteous harvest with which to provide for our needs; that Thou hast granted unto us personal strength and charity that we might serve Thee and our neighbor, who may be sick or afflicted, poor or needy, or who may have cause to mourn; that Thou through Thine Divine Providence hast granted to us our unalienable Rights to Life, Liberty and Property in this great land of the United States.

Hear now, O God, our prayer for an ungodly nation. Deliver us from deceitful and unjust politicians and send us Statesmen who will honor their oath of office and defend the Constitution which Thou hast caused to be established. Hear the prayers of Thy faithful children as they ascend to Thee that we, as a nation, might remain free and have Thy help to turn us from our wicked ways; that our national sins might be forgiven; and, that Thou might thereby heal our land.

Cleanse our land of the ills of Progressive Ideology that destroys initiative and self-reliance through covetous greed; that bends equal-justice, or opportunity, into social-justice which has already enslaved 47% of our citizens; that creates attitudes of entitlement that rob Thy children of their unalienable right to Liberty; that bend private ownership, Christian charity and brotherly love into the compulsion of state redistribution. Cleanse us from unwise and unsound fiscal policies and laws which deny entrepreneurs and risk takers of the just reward of their labors and have burdened our nation with a $15 Trillion debt. Cleanse us from the genocide of abortion which has murdered more than 53 Million unborn children of God destroying their unalienable right to Life.

Help us, O God, to have the fortitude, courage and faith of our ancestors, our fathers and mothers, they who built, with Thy aid, the greatest nation the world has ever known, a nation that has stood as a beacon of hope to all those chained by tyranny and oppression throughout the world. Grant us now the will and determination to make the hard choices which confront us to restore our Constitutional Republic to that which our Founding Fathers gave us through Thy divine providence. Grant Almighty God, through Thine divine help that we, as a nation, might once again “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

In the blessed name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and the Redeemer of the World. Amen.

May God Bless and Save the United States of America.
Our Constitutional Republic !

Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae ducit !

In 1787 our Founding Fathers gave us our Constitutional Republic. The Preamble of that sacred document begins with “WE THE PEOPLE of the United States.” This seems like a simple enough statement that even an elementary school student should be able to understand it. If not perhaps President Lincoln can help our understanding. In his Gettysburg Address he explained that we, as a nation, are a “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” Why is it then that our elected Representatives and Senators, most of whom are “supposedly” well educated, cannot understand this? What is so hard to understand? They seem to have forgotten “WE THE PEOPLE” in favor of “we the special interest.”

Semantic infiltration (SI) is a phenomenon of language that occurs when certain people deliberately replace one word or phrase deemed offensive with another term that better frames and strengthens their point of view. With the help of the Courts, Media, Academia and even the Church they successfully circulate, popularize and legitimize SI jargon to establish their frequently anti-Christian agenda.

An early modern example of SI comes from the Cold War era, when the Soviet Union deployed terms like “wars of national liberation“, their real purpose being “global conquest“. Since then the use of SI has proliferated, especially in the moral sphere. Designer terms like “sexual diversity training” have been fashioned to obscure a hidden agenda. Like a Trojan horse, these code-like words release moral presuppositions and values into the minds of people who use them that are contrary to the Judeo-Christian ethic.

Some examples of SI are quite obvious, such as replacing “Christmas lights” with “holiday lights”, or “Merry Christmas” with “Happy Holidays”. Other examples (more…)

Read 1 Samuel 18:1–4

God knew that David needed an intimate friend to walk with him through the valley that was ahead of him. Intimate friends are rare in life. Often we have only one, occasionally two, usually not more than three in our entire lives. There’s something about an intimate friend that causes your souls to be knit together. It’s what we call a kindred spirit.

You don’t have to beg a close friend for a favor, which was (more…)

Having four visiting family members, my wife was very busy, so I offered to go to the store for her to get some needed items.

I scurried around the store, gathered up my goodies and headed for the checkout counter, only to be blocked in the narrow aisle by a young man who appeared to be about sixteen-years-old. I wasn’t in a hurry, so I patiently waited for the boy to realize that I was there. This was when he waved his hands excitedly in the air and declared in a loud voice, “Mommy, I’m over here.”

It was obvious now, he was mentally challenged and also startled as he turned and saw me standing so close to him, waiting to squeeze by. His eyes widened and surprise exploded on his face as I said, “Hey Buddy, what’s your name?”

“My name is Denny and I’m shopping with my mother,” he responded proudly.

“Wow,” I said, “that’s a cool name; I wish my name (more…)
