I have been watching the latest project of the left as they try to erase history. It reminds me of the Taliban destroying all of the antiquities in the cradle of civilization. Anything they disliked they destroyed including the destruction of a centuries old carving of Buddha on the side of a mountain which was blown to smithereens with a bomb.
Democratic strongholds are taking down statues of anyone they don’t like and that doesn’t just apply to confederate generals like Robert E. Lee, but one of Christopher Columbus is being removed and rioters have burned a flag and taken down a statue of venerable George Washington. Nancy Pelosi has ordered that all of the portraits of former Speakers of the House that served in the confederacy be taken down. It is the same thing the Bolsheviks did in Russia to anyone who opposed Stalin.
It’s not just statues either. Journalists have been fired for writing articles that are deemed insensitive, actors are being blackballed if they dare to break away from the prescribed mantra, CEOs and other employees are summarily fired for expressing opinions contrary to the established doctrine as are professional athletes. Even the stepmother of the police officer who was charged in the Rayshard Brooks shooting in Atlanta was abruptly fired from her position in HR.
So they seem intent not only upon destroying the lives of those they have convicted without a trial, but their family members as well.
And if all that is not enough the mother of all free speech atrocities and tragedies has occurred, Aunt Jemima pancake and syrup mix is being discontinued. I’m not the only pancake lover that is disheartened by this action, a great-grandson of “Aunt Jemima” says that his family legacy will be “erased” now that Quaker Foods plans to eliminate the Aunt Jemima brand of pancake mix and syrup.
Freedom of speech apparently applies only to those who adhere to the party line. They are free to desecrate our flag by burning it or kneel when our national anthem is played. They can drop “F” bombs and curse our President with impunity. They can edit out anything negative about the cause they are embracing and embellish or lie about events they support. The list is long and depressing. We have taken these freedoms for granted and now we face the real possibility of our country being run by socialists and/or communists. The people in North Korea, Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and many other Socialist/communist nations get one side of the story and so it seems we are heading in the same direction.
We can do our part by repenting and crying out to the Lord in prayer. I asked the Lord this morning what will become of Israel if our country falls into the hands of those who despise her. All I can do is pray for both countries and I can vote.
Don’t be disheartened by the media. 1,000,000 signed up for the Trump rally in Tulsa Oklahoma with just 20,000 seats available in the stadium. All polls show Biden leading, but guess who conducts them. The left wingers.
Jesus always told the truth, but the truth is not what the people wanted to hear. They crucified Him along with truth. Today there are many in our nation that do not want to hear the truth unless it enhances their position. Let’s hope that Christians aren’t crucified again as our Father was . . .
So you want to hear something funny this morning. I have an automatic boat lift. I can push a button and it will automatically descend into the water or raise up. It has limit switches on it to keep it from going too low or high. So yesterday I was going to lower it a little so I could board it and do some work on it. I pushed the lower switch and then got a phone call. I walked in the house and forgot about it. In about an hour I remembered it and shot out the door only to discover that my boat was gone. The lift had lowered it so low that the boat floated, and the strong incoming tide carried it down my canal. I was aghast because I couldn’t see it anywhere and then I spotted it nestled against a neighbors dock down the canal. I ran down the street and cut through one of my neighbor’s backyard and got in the boat and returned it to my dock.
This has nothing to do with today’s subject matter, but I wanted to end it with something that would put a smile on your face.
Galatians 4:16
Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Have a great weekend and go to church this Father’s Day Sunday!
