I couldn't decide what to write this time...there are SEVEN things on my mind at the moment, so I'll do seven short blogs. Ready??
"They'll Be Hating Bishop Love." Episcopal Bishop WILLIAM LOVE (pictured above), of Albany, NY, is defying his denomination and refusing to marry same-sex couples. Good for him, he's following SCRIPTURE instead of following the CROWD!! Love was quoted as saying that the Episcopal Church has been "hijacked by the 'Gay Rights Agenda'," and he is totally correct. I'm not a betting man, but if I were I'd wager that the ones who whine for tolerance and acceptance all the time will HATE Bishop Love, and even feel justified in doing so. The reason gays feel so threatened at anyone who disagrees with them, and march around say they are "proud" of their sin, is because they know, in their consciences, that they are going against God's plan (one man, one woman). Pray for them AND for this brave Bishop!!
"The California Fires Are NOT God's Wrath Upon Liberals!" Apparently, some of my fellow politically-Conservative Christians think that's the case, and it's sad. Christians should pray for anyone and EVERYONE who's in need, not try to figure out why God allows things and NEVER refuse to pray for people!! We are to pray even for our ENEMIES, Scripture says....we are not to pray AGAINST them.
And why is it that some (not all) politically-Conservative Christians would be mad if they thought TERRORISTS started the fires, but seem gleeful at the thought that the fires are an expression of God's wrath, against California?? Think about that.
"CREED II." I cannot wait for the "Creed II" movie to debut next week!! It's basically a continuation of the Rocky series, but once again, as in 2015's "Creed," Stallone is in a SUPPORTING role as the trainer of Adonis Creed, Apollo Creed's illegitimate son. The great Michael B. Jordan reprises his role as Adonis, and Jordan MAY just be my favorite male actor at the moment. Like me, Michael B. went to Arts High in Newark but UNlike me, he didn't drop out (Lol). Anyway, I've seen the trailers for "Creed II" and they look GREAT...can't wait!!
"Yes, I am still a Yankee Fan!" Because I congratulated our rival RED SOX on winning the World Championship, and wrote a lot about my FIRST team, the San Francisco Giants recently, some seem to think I'm no longer a YANKEES fan. It's silly!!
But to convince any doubters, look at the MUG I'm hoping to get for Christmas (above.) Only YANKEES on there (Lol)!!
"Michelle Obama's Book." I have ZERO interest in reading Michelle Obama's new book, but because I follow the news, I'm aware that the title is "Becoming." And, I'm like......"Is she serious?"
".....BECOMING"??!!
(Lol), was she "BECOMING" when, as First Lady, she said disparaging things about America for the whole world to hear?? Was she "BECOMING" when, as First Lady she danced that time, squatting and spreading her legs in a young guy's face?? And, it's reported that she bashes the PRESENT President in her book...is that "BECOMING" while he's still in office??
"Becoming"?? You must be KIDDING, I say.
But of course, Michelle has the right to write what she wants and display her hypocrisy for the world to see. (I just wish she'd released the book a week BEFORE the election. Republicans might have won the House AND Senate!!)
Since yesterday, I've found "Stan's Soapbox" from 1968, the one where he spoke against racism in his monthly comic book column. This will help you see HOW Stan influenced me, 50 years ago (right after MLK got killed and riots were happening all across the nation.) Here's Stan's wise words...
Let's lay it right on the line. Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today. But, unlike a team of costumed super-villains, they can’t be halted with a punch in the snoot, or a zap from a ray gun. The only way to destroy them is to expose them—to reveal them for the insidious evils they really are. The bigot is an unreasoning hater—one who hates blindly, fanatically, indiscriminately. If his hang-up is black men, he hates ALL black men. If a redhead once offended him, he hates ALL redheads. If some foreigner beat him to a job, he’s down on ALL foreigners. He hates people he’s never seen—people he’s never known—with equal intensity—with equal venom.
Now, we’re not trying to say it’s unreasonable for one human being to bug another. But, although anyone has the right to dislike another individual, it’s totally irrational, patently insane to condemn an entire race—to despise an entire nation—to vilify an entire religion. Sooner or later, we must learn to judge each other on our own merits. Sooner or later, if man is ever to be worthy of his destiny, we must fill out hearts with tolerance. For then, and only then, will we be truly worthy of the concept that man was created in the image of God–a God who calls us ALL—His children
Finally, "Make THANKSGIVING Great Again!" I've been seeing "Black Friday" ads ALL MONTH now, and I'm sick of it. What happened to the days when Black Friday came AFTER Thanksgiving?? This nation is so covetous, we can't bear to even give thanks to God for what we DO have for one day a year....we now want to bypass Thanksgiving, and skip right to Black Friday, which is all about GETTING. (And whether or not you're GETTING stuff for someone else, or for yourself on Black Friday....if you're so anxious to GET that you can't pause, catch your breath and GIVE thanks to GOD for that one day now, something is very, very wrong.)
Make THANKSGIVING Great Again!! Refuse to shop for Christmas stuff until AFTER Thanksgiving Day!! The Bible says LOTS about thanking God but it says ZERO about remembering Christ's birthday, by the way...so what's the hurry?? See my "Things I'm Thankful For" blog from last Saturday if you need a jumpstart on WHY you should be thankful to Him.
