Don't Be A Tool

People, seriously...
Today people died, actually, they were killed. I hate to break it to you, but people die EVERY DAY. It's true.

But what is special about the people that died today?

You will hear words like "gay", "lesbian", "Islamist", "terrorist", "gun", "shooting", "democracrat", "president", "Trump"...

All of these words used with today's shooting are words that invoke a reaction from you. This is what the news is feeding you, propoganda if you will, to incite emotions to drag a designed response, or to train a future response to be drawn out later.

If you haven't noticed, (but you have because the media has been feeding it to you every minute of every day) there is an election coming up. The news outlets are feeding you what they need to get a desired result in the elections.

If you are in an uproar over what the media showed today, you are a tool. Or at least the media has turned you into a useful idiot... nah, I'll stick with tool...

Don't be a tool.

Turn off the news.

There are 500 other channels on the cable box. Try one.

Better yet, read a book.

Play with your kids.

Call your mother; she loves you.

Call your grandmother; she loves you too.

Don't be a tool; TURN OFF THE NEWS!!!

Guard Your Heart

"Guard Your Heart"

Proverbs 4:20-27
(20)  My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words.
(21)  Don't lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart,
(22)  for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.
(23)  Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
(24)  Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech.
(25)  Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
(26)  Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.
(27)  Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.

We Have This Confidence

"we have this confidence..."

1 John 3:20-22  For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.  (21)  Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.  (22)  And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

1 John 5:14-15  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:  (15)  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
