Last night's pep rally in Indiana was the first one that I have missed. News reports that I've seen have the President saying that he doesn't think "we've ever done better as a country"...and...."we are rockin." Upon hearing words like these....that are antithetical to the reality of America today....the Christian should immediately sit up and take notice of a problem in the making. We are also slowly giving up our identity as conservatives and falling prey to manipulative techniques we've seen in the past from charismatic leaders and even gurus.
KEEPING UP APPEARANCES.....March, 2017
We are not as of yet holed up in our homes, although many truly are, but we are holed up in the gated community of our minds. An unwanted visitor wants in with information that would upset us but we refuse to open the gate. An intruder invades our peace and we call for security. A message is not filtered so we block the sender. When we travel by means of special news bulletins, dark stories that cannot be avoided by newspaper editors and even tragedies close to home, we lock the doors of the vehicle and hurry through to our destination, and perish even the thought of our GPS running amok where we might get lost and be forced to confront reality.
No...we will not tear down the Asherah poles nor burn the bronze idols. That's phase two and phase three! We won't entertain any evidence that God will judge us. We will cover our ears and shout baby syllables should anyone disturb our serenity with biblical warnings. We will cut out of the Bible, not miracles as Thomas Jefferson did, but anything that might convict us as to our having compromised God's commands to us to be set apart.
God loves us! He knows our heart. We blush at how much God must be pleased with us. We elected Donald Trump! OK maybe he doesn't give a rat's posterior about God but he gave us a good Supreme Court nominee! We shall continue to keep up appearances.

We will not recant our primary vote for Donald Trump....unless convinced by the plain truth of 'sort of thinking'....for to do so would be to go against Make America Great Again....here we linger....we don't have the slightest idea of what the Old Testament prophets were talking about or the Olivet Discourse....God bless America!
