Merry Christmas everybody! Today we celebrate the birth of The Lord Jesus Christ!
He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
He is the Alpha, Omega, beginning and end, the Prince of Peace, The Creator, The Redeemer!
I have not posted in several days, partly because our family was focused on our own personal celebration of Christmas, and partly because I have been so burdened about the fraudulent election taking place under our nose, that I just wanted to take a few days to get away from the fraud, cover ups and deception of the Obama machine.
Taking a quick break from the Presidential lawsuits, lets just take a brief moment and pause with thanks for the wonderful gift we celebrate each year during Christmas. This year as every year, our family tries diligently to keep our focus on the real reason for Christmas, not the shopping, not Santa Claus, not the gift exchanges per se, but a true celebration over several days where we appreciate the day set aside as the day the greatest gift ever bestowed on mankind. The Creator stepped out of Heaven in form of a man and ultimately died on the Cross to offer the "Gift" of Salvation to those who would accept the gift. To receive the gift, we repented of our sin, and received the free gift of Salvation through Christ. This may seem foreign to you, but if it does, I encourage you to find copy of our "owner's manual"-The Bible, and consult the section on how to remove the lifelong effects of the "sin virus" we have all received. (a little bit of symbolism there)
Our family does find itself in a strange kind of struggle that we deal with during this time. One the one hand we want to keep a positive outlook on the Gospel, spreading the word, visiting the sick, caring for those in prison, caring for the hungry, caring for orphans, and yet on the other hand we continue to find ourselves in another struggle. This struggle is over how we should spend time on these activities vs spending time trying to have an impact on the future of this country so that it can be blessed by God in the future, and so that it can be used as a launching platform for spreading the Gospel around the world. I hope other Christians struggle with this concept as I do because I would like to know I am not alone in this struggle.
My wife and I see our "ministry" in the last half of our lives as a "pay back" to society whereby we try to keep a focus on the needs of the others and try to let our last years on earth be dedicated to spreading the Gospel, and serving the needs of others. Yet, we continue to find ourselves involved in a need to help protect our country from those who would wish to "steal its soul" and thus render America useless for spreading the gospel. Currently we find ourselves convinced that if we allow a fraudulent election to continue, and to have a Usurper in the White House, that our nation faces turning its back on its Constitutional Republican form of government. Additionally, we feel that we can almost see our nation turning on itself because of "rebellion" of God's commandments which will have a net result of finding America "cursed" by God.
May each of us find a balance in this struggle during Christmas and keep our focus on the celebration of "Christmas".
Merry Christmas!

A Merry Christmas to you and yours, too! Thank you for working so hard to keep us informed about this fraudulent election and the cases that the Supreme Court keeps negligently turning down.
