Howdy all! Well, after a full sweep yesterday, it looks like there is a clear message to tell. Yes, it was a full sweep. Now the only thing left to do is clean last night’s dishes.
Any hoo,..
Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
~ 2 Corinthians 5:17
In disquisitions of every kind there are certain primary truths, or first principles, upon which all subsequent reasoning must depend." --Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 31, 1788
OK, I had to look up disquisition: dissertation or formal discourse, a debate. So, as Hamilton opines, in every debate there are principles or truths required to conduct a debate of substance. Otherwise there is nothing but superficial blah blah. So why does this ring a bell in my head? Of course! Just listen to the political debates going on in the lamestream media. Listen to the managers of the parties. Remember, they are managers, not leaders. Leaders lead the way while managers manage to muddle through. So, the managers of both parties are so stuck on their positions, they sound like broken records on every issue. It doesn’t even matter if their jargon has an ounce of truth or not. As long as they stick to the party line you know… So, to have a substantial debate with anyone, you need to know your facts. Armed with facts, you cannot lose any debate with anyone, especially with those who follow the party line, either party! Instead you will end the debate with one of two possible outcomes; the debaters will agree on one of the positions, or you will agree to disagree, with smiles on the face. Either side comes with punchlines, mottoes or slogans; they will be crushed in the debate. Now, the verse from 1 Corinthians does play a role here. Those who belong to Christ, who believe in Him have become anew in their faith; reborn. I know, because I have grown closer to Him than I’ve been for decades, which has definitely awakened a part of me that I almost forgot about. I’ve carried this awakening into my tea party world. I am not fearful of castigation, or ridicule. Instead I stand by my oath; I stand by my God and I stand by my family, friends and country. My awakening has helped me speak the truth against those who wish not to debate, but crush the truth. Yet I will not be silent. We all need to find our awakening. With it, there aren’t issues or complications in the way. The path becomes clear. You can see it. You just have to have faith. And stand with your principles – truths.
Take care, God bless,
AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
