Judge Jeanine on the Benghazi-gate Coverup “FACTS”


Pirro_art_200v_20081013115538Judge Jeanine sat as a Judge for decades. She can tell a lie from the truth. She will not be fooled by the propaganda disseminated from the Obama Administration and State Department.

I posted this for those who want the TRUTH, not talking points.

God’s View on Benghazi Matters Most


130123101106-06-hillary-clinton-libya-hearing-0123-story-top

Jeremiah 23:23–24 (NIV)

23 “Am I only a God nearby,” declares the Lord, “and not a God far away? 24 Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.

I admit that for some–ON BOTH SIDES of the political isle–Benghazi is about politics. But not for God.

And not for many loyal, godly citizens–ON BOTH SIDES politically. Those of us who love truth and who love what is right, are not satisfied with the political posturing of either party. And we do not agree that Benghazi is “old news.” Nor will we stand by and allow it to be hidden or swept away. We stand with the Lord and with the families who demand the truth.

The past Secretary of State showed her insensitivity to truth by sweeping the lives of four Americans under her already lumpy carpet. According to God’s revealed will, the lies spun by the Administration and State Department over four human beings–sacrificed to political expediency–are unacceptable to God.

It’s time for everyone to get a clue, that God is not fooled by lies, whitewashes, and political deflection. To Him there is no such thing as “cover-up.” He sees it all!

“What difference does it make” Madame Secretary? Here’s the difference . . . 

aa-caskets-of-benghazi-victims

You may fool and deceive some of the people, but . . . what if one of these coffins had YOUR daughter in it? Would the lies and cover-up still be “old news?” Would it be unimportant to get to the bottom of the failures in order to correct the way we handle international security? Would you settle for a Secretary of State telling you that your daughter’s death is “old news?”

What if a Republican or Libertarian Administration were covering up and lying? Would it make a difference then? Do you think the Obama/Clinton Media would be covering it then? Or would they drop it as “old news”? Is there any genuine integrity left in Washington? Where are the real statesmen and women? Where are the real journalists . . . who will not allow themselves to be mesmerized by liars on the left or the right?

Ecclesiastes 12:14 (NIV)

14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.

Revelation 22:14–15 (ESV)

14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

What’s Wrong with Lucy’s Worldview?

Linus really gets how Lucy emotes (as opposed to reasons). Unfortunately, Linus can’t have a real conversation. It’s practically impossible. There is no firm, reasonable starting place because Lucy will not admit the inconsistencies in her thinking. Her worldview, based on emotion, cannot allow for reasonable honesty. So rather than laugh at her inconsistency and be willing to reevaluate and alter her view, Lucy has to bully, name-call, and shame her friend.

BOTH extremes–Right and Left in our country–operate this way.

My hope is that God will heal our nation–that Lucy & Linus will get tired of the polarization that separates them and find ways to listen to one another. My fear is that it’s too late. Lucy likes bullying and controlling Linus. And Linus won’t give up his freedom to her control.

Word of Warning to Politicians and National Leaders


ImageImage

A Word of warning to the politicians–ON ALL SIDES–who whisper, lie, and cover up. Be warned you who think that you will never be held to account:

Psalm 2:10–12 (NIV)

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. 12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Be certain:

Proverbs 17:13 (NIV)

13 Evil will never leave the house of one who pays back evil for good.

Proverbs 6:16–19 (NIV)

16 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood [think here abortion & infanticide too], 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes [think cover-ups too], feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

Proverbs 15:31 (NIV)

31 Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise.

Ecclesiastes 4:13 (NIV)

13 Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning.

Be warned, the mouth of the Lord has spoken!

Dancing in the Light

Reblogged from Marcy's Walk:

A couple years ago a friend gifted me with a small plastic penguin with a solar panel on its stomach. When the penguin was placed in the light, it danced. A few weeks ago I noticed that even though the penguin had not been moved from its place in front of the south-facing window in my kitchen, it was no longer dancing.

I couldn't help but post Marcy's insight this week. It's really a valuable nugget for the journey. Hope you'll enjoy reading her posts as much as I do.

Place a Ban on Facebook?


ImageShould a ban be placed upon Facebook?

Facebook is a helpful social media tool when it is used as it was originally intended. Facebook is a weapon when used destructively. But is this a reason to ban Facebook? Or should Facebook require background checks on all it members, past and future?

Recently, I have been quite ill. My wife posted requests for friends to pray for me. I have appreciated that many friends have responded positively to pray for me. Since we believe in prayer, this is one example of a positive use of Facebook. I could list others, but I want to save that for another post.

All positive examples share the same characteristics: they harm no one and invite caring community. I have been surrounded by a believing community to hold my needs up before our mutual Father. Whether one believes in prayer or not, he can see the value of such a rallying point for those who do.

One the other side–Facebook as weapon.

I have read the articles and heard the TV news stories of those who have been libeled and bullied through negative community using social media. Various evil people have used their words and photos to inflict damage by impugning the character ,or behavior, or looks, or whatever of others. These are examples of the negative use of Facebook.

Two examples of the use of Facebook. One positive, one negative. Yet Facebook is the vehicle for BOTH. Just as in the hand of one man a screwdriver tightens screws, so in the hand of another the same screwdriver could maim or kill.

Good leaders know that to deal with any problem–Go to the ROOT of the problem, not the FRUIT of the problem. So, to your mind, what’s the root problem? Facebook? Screwdrivers? Guns? or People?

QUESTION: What do you think?

Speakers for Book Clubs – Yes or No?


camels-nose-inside-the-tentShould your book reading group invite outside speakers? Here I’m thinking of visiting authors, publishing experts, librarians, and other book related speakers.

Each group should develop a policy. Why? Because everyone and his brother has a writer or would-be author in the family. Someone always knows someone who knows someone.

This can work to your advantage as a group, or it could open the tent flap just enough that the primadonna camel gets her head inside. When that happens, it’s not long before the rest of the camel comes in. Then Shelly wants to know why her aunt, who wrote a family history, can’t come in since April’s sister got to speak to the group. After all, an author’s an author. Then feelings get hurt, someone takes an offense, and the group is in turmoil.

If you know in advance whether you like camels and want to have them in your tent (which may be great) then your life will be much simpler. And there are camels and there are CAMELS.

A good, experienced camel, err . . . speaker or author of a book you’re reading could be a great enhancement to your group. A developmental editor can give your group real insight into the process that a book passes through to even make it into your hands to read. Or these guests could bore you to death. Make sure that if the group allows visitors from the publishing world, that they add value to the group.

So . . . decide on a speaker policy. Then, if you will invite speakers, try to get a few references [unless you're sure that the speaker will add value to your group because of who is recommending him or from his already established reputation].

A speaker policy will save you lots of grief later and keep those valuable friendships intact.

QUESTION: Does your reading/book group have a speaker policy? What experiences have you had with guest speakers?
