I remember this particular comment not because of his statement but because of how it was prefaced. Before this gentleman shared what was on his heart, he said "I am making an observation, not a declaration."
I appreciated his humility and his candor.
Candor, I have no problem with...humility in my "observations" may not be as apparent. So while I make my observations, please bear with any personal opinion that may be painfully obvious...but then again, transparency is a good thing right?
Once again I am observing the actions and statements of our nation's leaders and scratching my head bald. I will make a few sarcastic comments and then give some serious perspective.
For the sake of time I will keep it short....ha, ha.
I will not mention the 300,000 dollar Manhattan fly-over, while "fiscal responsibility" rhetoric and the dangers of "unsustainable debt" are proclaimed.
I will not bring up the budget that will be over a TRILLION dollars in the red.
It would be pointless to talk about the Speaker of the House saying that she was not "briefed" she was only "told that someone else was briefed" while she was a member of the oversight committee that was briefed by the CIA about enhanced interrogation methods used on suspected terrorists.
I will not talk about the Secretary of State responding to a report from the Taliban and apologizing profusely for the loss of civilian life in the war zone.
I will not point out that the Taliban does not have a Washington Bureau...yet.
I mean, come on, this is pretty normal stuff in the Bizarro World so what's the big deal?
Why wouldn't the Alameda Unified School District in California consider supplemental curriculum specifically designed to eradicate "homophobia" in kindergarten children?
And why should parents have the right to opt their children out?
Why wouldn't Congress push legislation that would make all kinds of sexually perverted people specially protected classes?
And why would this bill include the homeless? Or the elderly? Or military veterans?
And while our country is headed for bankruptcy why not make Internet gambling legal?
Why should we oppose Barney Frank's latest brilliant idea?
And what is the big deal that 10,000 or so "stimulus" checks were sent to people who have been dead for years?
In the Bizarro World, that should not make us concerned about who is running the IRS nor should we question their competence just because they don't pay their own personal taxes or send millions to dead people.
And why should anybody think that there is any conflict of interest just because GE owns NBC, hires Tom Daschle and seeks billions in government contracts under the "Green Initiative."
Just because they own the press and hire Presidential Appointees means nothing in the Bizarro World.
And finally...in this Bizarro World that we now live in, that is so determined to uphold the Separation of Church and State, and has the ACLU ready to bring legal action against anyone who would dare challenge their interpretation of the Constitution...why wouldn't Barak Obama, the most radical, left-winged supporter of abortion that has ever held the office of President be honored and cheered at a religious, private, Catholic University?
And why shouldn't the peaceful protesters demonstrating their agreement with the teachings of the Catholic Church, that this private University represents, be arrested?
Why shouldn't the Catholic student body break into an Obama inspired "Yes We Can!" mantra when a vocal minority dares to say "Stop Killing our Children!"
In the Bizarro World you don't really stand for what you say you believe!
In the Bizarro World you appoint the most radical abortion Governor in the history of the United States as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, lift as many restrictions on abortion as you can, appoint a Homeland Security Secretary that puts abortion protesters on the "terrorist watch" list and then stand at Notre Dame and proclaim that we should find "common ground" and work to reduce the number of abortions while not making caricatures of opposing viewpoints.
In the Bizarro World the Government kindly abstains from making caricatures of opposing viewpoints, they just arrest people with opposing viewpoints.
And so now as I have given my cynical little observations from Bizarro World I hope my point is not lost in the sarcasm.
In all seriousness, it becomes more and more apparent to me and many others that we are nowhere close to being at home here on this earth.
While the truth should not be ignored and a dose of sarcastic humor can give an opinion that might otherwise be ignored, bizarre is precisely how the world's ways should look to the true believer.
We can make observations and I will continue to do so.
I refuse to call evil good, but I have no false hope in any person, party or government to make any lasting change that would be good and right here on this earth. My hope is in promises that are seen with eyes of faith from afar. Mine is an eternal and living hope through the death, burial and resurrection of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His eternal word of truth will never pass away and will never be eradicated.
He offers this hope to all who would repent of their sins and put their faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Our God is not willing that any should perish but that all should reach repentance! Believe on the Lord Jesus and be saved from this wicked and corrupt generation!
Christ is coming again and He will judge the world in perfect righteousness. There is none good enough and only His work on the Cross is sufficient to save you. His blood will cleanse from sin if you repent and believe!
No President will ever stand in His court and proclaim compromise with evil.
No Government will ever legislate the murder of children in His Kingdom. There will be no need for legislation to make sexual perverts a protected class of citizens. According to scripture, they will not be there (Revelation 21:8; 22:15).
His Truth cannot change and those who hope in Him have been promised a bright and glorious future of wonders that eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor mind has even conceived. The things that scripture has prophesied are taking place. We were told ahead of time and our Lord said when we see these things taking place that the Kingdom of God is very near. Lift up your heads for your redemption is near! I acknowledge that I am a "stranger, an exile on this earth." I want to be like those people of faith that Hebrews 11 refers to:
" For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city." (Hebrews 11:14-16)
