"We Answer To A Higher Authority"

This is just an oddity that I had to share with the you while I am going through the pains of mid-term exams.

I took this with my cell phone at a local Kroger's in Crawfordsville, IN.
For the record, there is an IGA that has the same display - I just wonder if the people at Hebrew National are OK with this...

If you are wondering what I am talking about, nothing in the cooler is kosher - it is all pork sausage and pork (among other things) bologna.
Hebrew National might "answer to a higher authority," but Kroger's ain't havin' it.

UnFreezing Hillary

Sorry about the lack of posts - I am going through final exams.
I had a few minutes to make this beauty though.
Charles at LGF calls this the "Full Beam" the "Serious Dimple" and the "Cackle"
I put them together using UnFreez and PowerPoint. I could have been more elaborate, but the thought of 15 more minutes manipulating pictures of Hillary made my stomach churn a bit.

The stills are from Little Green Footballs, and the video was from O'Riley.

My Basic Instinct Tells Me We Are Looking At Basic Judgement.

With things like this in the mainstream 'entertainment industry,' you can't tell me that our country isn't headed for judgment.

From Foxnews.com

In his upcoming biography of Jesus, "Basic Instinct" director Paul Verhoeven will make the shocking claim that Christ probably was the son of Mary and a Roman soldier who raped her during the Jewish uprising in Galilee, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Unfortunately, this thing will probably fly off of the shelves in California; not to mention every liberal arts college in the country.

We're watching it happen, people - these things point toward a coming judgment.

Why is Sunday Revered Today?

The Catholic Mirror, official publication of James Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893.

“The Catholic Church, . . . by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.”

- emphasis mine.

...is that enough? Considering that God said that the Sabbath was His day; a day to be remembered and observed as a day of rest forever?

I have said it before, and I believe it needs to be repeated: even if the apostle Paul himself declared that Saturday was no longer the Sabbath - if he made a direct command for the followers of Jesus to observe Sunday as the Sabbath - it wouldn't be enough. No man on this earth, then or now, has the authority to "change" the day that God Himself declared to be the Sabbath.

Is There A Bigger Earthquake Coming?

We had another earthquake just after midnight last night - this one was just a 4.5.
All of the recent activity along the Wabash Valley is sparking new concerns that there may be a whopper coming.

The fault that is causing all of the speculation is the "New Madrid Fault" which runs along the Mississippi River, through the Illinois and Indiana boarders. The New Madrid is responsible for the devastation of the Mississippi Valley in 1811 and 1812.


(from Yahoo news)
One scenario predicts that some stress is relieved on the local faults where this earthquake occurred and will cool things down for a few decades. The other scenario is not so happy.
"There is the possibility, and we can only see over next few months what will happen, that the redistribution of stress on neighboring faults might trigger further earthquakes, and we can only guess as to whether they'll be equally large as today's earthquake," Forte said.

The map above comes form a website called: greatdreams.com that has a ton of information about the New Madrid.

NEW MADRID FAULT BEWARE
Scientists have pinpointed a set of faults in the Midwest
that cause severe earthquakes every 500 years. The
quakes are so powerful that they can cause the
Mississippi River to temporarily flow backwards.

FLU SEASON WORSE IN 4 YEARS; VACCINE DIDN'T WORK WELL

pr 17, 12:17 PM (ET)

By MIKE STOBBE (Newsvine.com)

ATLANTA (AP) - This year's flu season has shaped up to be the worst in three years, partly because the vaccine didn't work well against the viruses that made most people sick, health officials said Thursday.


I've never had one, and will never make my kids have one. Every person that I have ever known to get one has said that they still get the flu, and every year there is a story like this one.

Call me crazy, but I have a serious problem with the government telling me that they would really like to inject something into my body that "may or may not work."

...no offense to those who get them of course.

How To Tick Off A WWII Vet

...and the people at Time still can't figure out why their stock numbers are falling.
I agree with the vets. How dare they replace the flag of the United States of America - the flag that so many of those men died for - with a tree. What kind of person can equate the hoax of global warming with the efforts that went into World War 2?

Left wing Democrat liberals, that's who.

It was a 5.4

From Fox news

WEST SALEM, Ill — A 5.4 earthquake early Friday rocked people awake as far away as Indiana, surprising residents unaccustomed to such a large Midwest temblor.

The quake just before 4:37 a.m. was centered 6 miles from West Salem, Ill., and 66 miles from Evansville, Ind. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

"It shook our house where it woke me up," said David Behm of Philo, 10 miles south of Champaign. Windows were rattling, and you could hear it. The house was shaking inches. For people in central Illinois, this is a big deal. It's not like California."

"That was an earthquake"

Right now it is 5:48:00 AM.

I woke up about 10 minutes ago, and the first thing I said was "That was an earthquake."

My wife said, "Go back to sleep - its thunder."

For the record, if I had to guess, I would say it was between a 3 and a 4, but I'm no expert.

...not the thunder, but the earthquake.

"God Still Has Work For Us To Do"

...Indeed.
By Jim Kavanagh
CNN

"God Still Has Work For Us To Do"
(CNN) -- A missionary family from Minnesota is glad to be alive and together after surviving a plane crash in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the father said Wednesday.

Barry and Marybeth Mosier were on their way to visit their son Keith, 24, in Kinsangani, Congo, with two younger children when their plane crashed on takeoff Tuesday in Goma. More than 30 people died as the plane plowed through a market and burned.

April Mosier, 14, managed to escape quickly, her father said by phone from Goma.

"April raced ahead, and she got to the front of the plane as one of the first people, I think," said Barry Mosier, 53.

The girl encountered a man who was tearing through an opening in the fuselage, Mosier said.

"He was pulling parts of the plane in or pushing them out, trying to make a hole. And she told him -- she speaks Swahili well -- she said, 'We've got to get a hole in this plane or we're all going to die.' " Watch as Barry Mosier describes the chaos »

Born Again: PianoMan's Great Grandmother

...and this is the Piano Man showing her the song written about her.



I love seeing extended families that love the Lord. It is an awesome thing to know that God put you with your family for a purpose - like the way my own mother's walk with Christ effected my life, it seems obvious that Betty Joe (Great Grandma) has had a profound impact on her kids and grand kids.

Thank God Sabbath Is Finally Here

(photo from:www.blessingscornucopia.com)

Here we are again; Friday afternoon, the news is out of control, the Democrats are actively trying to destroy our country... along with the Muslims.
The Liberal Leftists are considered to be "intellectuals" while they personify the scripture that says, "with their wisdom they have become fools..."
Hillary and Obama are bombarding the television stations in Indiana, pandering to every pink-o, fascist, communist pansy that will listen.

School in overwhelming, and work is confusing.
Finances are in ruins.
The stock market is crumbling.
Oil just reached $112 a barrel.

With all of this stuff going on, I often wonder how the rest of the
world can manage to get buy without observing Sabbath.
I can't help but think about how ignorant we have become - to think that we have fallen for a lie that says it is "bondage" to obey a command from our loving King, telling us to sit down and rest and reflect on Him on the day that He calls holy.

Call it what you want, but He says that I should call it a delight.
I'll err on the side of Truth any day of the week.

Good Sabbath - Shabbat Shalom!
