Do you remember the old TV game show from the 60's "You Don't Say."   It had a tag-line that went like this.  "It's not what you say that counts; it's what you don't say."  Well pardon me if I steal that line and edit it a bit.  I would say that it is "not what you see that counts, It's what you don't see."  

Helen Keller is reported to have said "There is nothing as tragic as men with sight who have no vision."

Last week I saw a story in the local paper that made me squirm.  It seems that a public library was putting up a fight over the placement of sexually-suggestive books in the children's section of the library.  When a politically incorrect parent complained about the placement of such materials in an area that was open to the perusal of young eyes, it seems that the local librarian got all bent out of shape over the attempt of the parent to "censure" from children "educational" materials that the library board had deemed "appropriate."  Somewhere along the line, some God-hating humanist had made the determination that if any material had "educational" value, then the material should be made available to all children regardless of the concerns of the tax-paying clientele.

How long are we going to put up with this?  Is it just me, or does it seem that the god-hating progressives love to take our money and promote their agenda?  It is becoming abundantly clear that anything labeled "public" in America is becoming increasingly decadent.  Public schools, public library, public restrooms, public beach, public streets, public radio, public television, public opinion, are all just curtains that the god-denying secularists hide behind. 

The eye in the sky does not lie.

That is a line that is popular in coaching circles. It is a way of telling the guys on the football team that they are not going to be able to get away with telling us they got a block when they didn't. We filmed every play of every game and when we asked a young man what happened on a particular play it was not unusual for a guy to tell us, "I got my man." In the heat of the battle we would always answer him, "We'll see on the film. The eye in the sky does not lie."

As the old-timers would say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. John 8:44 I spent last Saturday at the Gay Pride parade in Columbus, Ohio. I try to go every year, at least for the past seven or so. Try as I might to avoid the confrontation there is just something inside of me that will not allow me to stay home. There were about twenty of us who made the decision to go. For several it was the first time they had ever ventured outside the safety of their church. As is usually the case they know that it is much easier to preach to the choir about the sin of homosexuality than it is to venture into enemy held territory with the Truth of the Gospel. No matter how hard I had tried to prepare them for what they were about to experience the old saw "some things are better felt, than telt," was most applicable to the experience.

Amoral---having no moral standards, restraints, or principles; unaware of or indifferent to questions of right or wrong: 

Shallow. That is the best way to describe those who are being paraded before us as legitimate contenders for election to the highest office in the land. Men without chests is what C. S. Lewis coined them.

Has that ever been more apparent than what the two major parties present to us today? Oh, how I long for a man who will "call them as he sees them." 

"Last thing I remember, I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 'Relax,' said the night man, we are programmed to receive. You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!" Hotel California, The Eagles Hell is a real place. I know most churches and church leaders don't like to talk about it, but the truth is, hell is real.

By any other name would smell as sweet."   -- From Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)

America and Communism.  For most of us those are two words that just don't seem to go together.  We all saw the Berlin Wall fall and crumbling with it onto the ash-heap of history was Communism, the brain child of God-hating Karl Marx.  "Communism is dead" we have been assured and anyone who tries to present evidence of the false burial is engaging in a much more dangerous ideology, the sin of McCarthyism.  In today's politically correct environment the label of "McCarthyite" has become synonymous with racist, bigot, and homophobe.  The facts show, however, that McCarthy was right.  Those facts have become an inconvenient Truth, though, haven't they? 

I am heartsick this morning. I don't know what it will take for Christians to wake-up. In a society that bends over backwards to make sure that our children have everything they need, why is it that we have so neglected the souls of our children?

Everything we own will someday belong to another. The only thing that has any significant value is the soul of another human being.

What is the soul? We throw that term around a lot but how many of us really understand what the soul is? The soul is made up of three parts.

Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.
As sung by Judy Collins Circus--a troupe of performers, esp. a traveling troupe, that presents such entertainments, together with officials, other employees, and the company's performing animals, traveling wagons, tents, cages, and equipment.

Psalm 119:97-105 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.

I never go bowling. I used to love to when I was younger, but being the competitor that I am I no longer enjoy it because the stinkin' ball won't go where I roll it. I remember when I used to roll 200 plus, but now when I go I struggle to break the century mark.
