"Chetitorializing (Includes "Walgreens" Update)

As usual, I've been CHETITORIALIZING in different places other than HERE, recently....

1.) From my Facebook page (which is set to "Friends Only," it is not "Public.")....

I say this every year around this time of year...EVERYONE IS NOT HAP, HAP, HAPPY SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S THE CHRISTMAS SEASON. In fact, for many, like those who've lost loved ones around the Holidays, the Holidays THEMSELVES trigger a sense of loss and pain. Those of us who ARE cheerful ought to be on the lookout for such and seek to comfort them, or at least PRAY for them. They are all around us, if only we have eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart that isn't dulled by the preoccupation with giving and getting MATERIAL things.

MOST who are suffering silently are afraid to be known...they don't want to be called "Party Poopers" or "Grinch" or "Scrooge" just because they are SAD when all others are apparently HAPPY. We Christians should ask God for wisdom and discernment to SEE the suffering in our midst and reach out to them in their loneliness. Didn't JESUS leave HEAVEN to meet OUR need, and isn't that why we celebrate Christmas in the first place?? Is it too much for us, then, to leave our festive state of mind for an hour and seek to "Weep with those who weep" in keeping with His Word??

Okay, that's all I have to say for now, except that losing my unsaved dad ten years ago on Christmas Day was a real eye-opener for me as to how someone can be sad but have no one who wants to empathize WITH them "because it's Christmas". I only hope God will use something I've written here to be the eye-opener, and HEART opener, that someone needs. Yes, CHRISTIANS who are suffering ALWAYS have the LORD to go through the valleys WITH them, but never forget the burden He puts on US to "bear one another's burdens" and to "weep with those who weep!!"

EVEN when it's the Christmas Season!!

2.) My car dealer asked for Feedback about my recent experience, as I had my car worked on last week, so I e-mailed THIS...

"I think you should re-evaluate the idea of having a television on, tuned in to network TV, in your common waiting area. While waiting 2 hours for my car, I had to endure the discomfort of listening to Dr. Ruth talk explicitly about sexual relations in the midst of a room with men and women I don't know, total strangers (this was on the "Tamron Hall" talk show). After that, "The View" was discussing President Trump (who I support) and the Impeachment fiasco. It is extremely aggravating to be forced to endure mental midgets' drivel without the ability to talk to the TV, like I would at home.

"The days of needing a TV in a waiting area are over, everyone is on their cells texting or playing games, entertaining ourselves now. These days, television is a distraction and CELL PHONES are the DIVERSION that TV once was. And, in this divisive political climate, I suggest you play a channel that has soothing background music rather than these ridiculous shows from network TV. Thank you."

3.) This is from ANOTHER Facebook post, regarding this link....

Democrat traitors are determined to let criminals (that's what Illegals are....criminals) VOTE in my state. They have taken a big step towards their goal of CREATING new Democrat voters, with this move. Sad thing is, many out-of-touch Christians WELCOME illegals into our state, saying "the Mission field is coming to US"....Christians like that HELP the Democrat traitors, albeit naively.

When CRIMINALS are given the same, or MORE rights than law-abiding citizens and when criminals have a SAY in the voting booth as to the future DIRECTION of a state, that state is DOOMED.






Finally, THIS was my "2019 Letter of the Year" to our weekly paper. Anyone remember THIS?? I took some heat for it, and I've blogged about it here BEFORE...

Just to refresh your memory, Walgreens DENIED they were closing that store  by us,      even putting up signs in their window which caused people from my church and even FAMILY to question the veracity of my info.  However, I stuck to what we had seen on the WALGREENS website (before it was removed) and our TOWN'S website, namely that THAT store was slated for closure.  (A Public Relations rep from Walgreens even wrote to the paper in a carefully worded statement DENYING it.)

Well, recently NATIONAL media has verified that Walgreens is looking to sell ALL of its stores, across the nation!! I feel vindicated but I hope the point of my letter was not lost in the shuffle.

Trenton lawmakers today voted in favor of enabling residents who are not legal residents of New Jersey to obtain driver's licenses.The Walgreens store in question denied they were closing, even posting SIGNS in their window.  This led to some in my church (and family) questioning the veracity of my info, but I stood behind what we once saw on the WALGREENS website, as well as our TOWN'S website.  BOTH said that Walgreens store by us was closing. A public relations rep for Walgreens wrote to the paper a few weeks after MY letter, insisting (in a carefully worded statement) that there were no PRESENT plans to close that Walgreens. Well, recently national media has been carrying stories that Walgreens is trying to sell ALL of its stores, nationwide!!  I feel vindicated in one way but I just hope the POINT of my letter was not lost in the shuffle.
