SATAN HAS DISCOVERED DEMOCRATS!

-

Listen to this essay read aloud:

Do we live in the United States of America? Or do we live in the land of Uz? Twenty-five or 26 centuries ago, a gentleman's agreement' between God and Satan was recorded in The Book of Job. Perhaps a short synopsis is in order for those of us whose shadow seldom falls upon the threshold of a church door.


Job was a good and successful man who honored God. He had sons and daughters and friends who admired and loved him. He owned flocks of various livestock and by all accounts was a righteous man.

One day God and Satan were sitting around Heaven chatting.
Satan said to God, "You know, I believe that that fellow, Job, only honors you because you have given him so many blessings. I'll bet you that I can make him curse your name."
God accepted the bet and gave Satan permission to have a go at Job. Satan, using the all of the latest technology available, immediately began his program to destroy Job so that he would curse God.

Job's children and flocks were killed. His body was covered with boils, and on top of that, Job's friends immediately began to pile on about how Job must be guilty of something... after all, where there is smoke, there is bound to be fire!

At the time, Satan was unable to get Job to curse God. But Satan is not just an ordinary run of the mill Joe Schmoe. For the last 25 or 24 thousand years, he has been looking for something more effective method than merely killing someone's children, destroying their livelihood, reputation, and physical health. It looks as though Satan's patience, diligence, and unending malevolence is finally paying off. Satan has discovered the Democrats! All of Satan's efforts in the past are children's games compared to what the Democrats are trying to do to the American people!

The parallel between a story that was written 25 centuries ago and what is happening today in the Washington, D.C. is obvious. You don't have to be a "Bible thumper", to understand that the Bible contains a lot of wisdom. And you don't have to have a doctorate in psychology to understand that the Democrats are playing everyone in the country for suckers!

Not the most beautiful place to awaken, but it was nice to have hot coffee waiting for me! Spent last night in the parking lot of a small truck stop in the town of Riesel. It sounds much worse than it was. The Casita has blackout coverings over the windows and is insulated well enough that little sound from outside gets through. And, of course, it was quite nice to walk inside the truck stop this morning and find fresh coffee ready and waiting. We had looked for a more aesthetically pleasing spot, including one rather long, after dark tour of a series of narrow gravel roads. The roads cut between crops of corn and sorghum that seemed to tower over the FJ, Once I had started down the road, there was no place wide enough to turn the FJ and Casita around.  Our luck held and we wound around and came out back in Otto, where we had started. That is when we decided to go back to a more traveled road and found the truck stop. We got up at 6 am so we could get t...

Why is it called "Playing" when you make Music?

-
As I woke this morning, that is the question that was rolling about in my otherwise empty head. Most people would dismiss such a useless question as merely the result of indigestion from the prior evening's meal of greasy canned meat, but I could not so easily dispose of the thought.    I don't suppose that it makes much of a difference, but, yes, the words we use are important. The denotative and connotative thought patterns associated with the word "play" are diminutive:  engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose For at least the last 2500 years, philosophers have considered music to be an essential element of being human. They have considered music to be a foundational cornerstone to education and life. Why, then, do we use the word " play " when we talk about making music? It seems to me that music has a serious and very practical purpose: music allows us to communicate things that cannot be communicate...
