Rights

I borrowed this from a comment by some guy on Vox Day's Blog
It says it so well, why try to do better.

ON RIGHTS:

1. Rights come from somewhere.
2. The Declaration of Independence claims our rights come from God.
3. Government recognizes out God-given rights.
5. Since rights don't come from government, government can't take them away.
6. Government can't also make up new rights to give you.
7. Any "right" you have that requires someone else to give up something for you to have, isn't a right, it is oppression.

A&M 29, Colorado 26 Overtime

Wow, this was a surprise. I thought this week would be a little easier, maybe that was our teams problem too. We played CU very close for the entire game. But two fumbles by Colorado made the difference in the game. One was in the fourth quarter that we took in to score 3 points. The other was in overtime that ended the game for the A&M win. This game would have been great to see, either in person or via TV; but, the networks decided two weeks ago that it wasn't worth televising. Don't you know they are kicking themselves now.

Reggie McNeal didn't look at all like a Heisman trophy candidate for the first 40 minutes, but he sure did for the last 20 and overtime. He threw the ball poorly for the first half and part of the 3rd quarter, but then he really stepped it up. CU scored and took a 3 point lead with 1:03 left in regulation. Reggie took us down the field and almost scored a TD on a run, but we didn't have enough time for another play so we kicked the field goal to take us to OT. In OT Reggie ran or passed for almost every yard. After a touchdown being called dead at the 1 we couldn't score the TD, but the defense came through with a fumble to end the game. Reggie now has 195 pass attempts without an inteception. That is an A&M and Big 12 record and an absolotely incredible statistic. Not only is Reggie good enough to win games, but he makes so few of the mistakes that can cost you a close game. The Heisman committee should certainly be looking at him. 22 rushes for 139 yards and23 of 38 passing for 243 yards and no INT. Of course, he didn't rush or pass for a TD, he must be slipping.

Freedom

Americans like to believe we live in a free country because we fought a revolution for freedom 228 years ago. We aren't really a free country but we should vote Freedom First.

1. A vote for the right to own guns is a vote for freedom. This country would never have been free without people owning guns and even now, a gun is your best defense of your own family.

2. A vote for lower taxes is a vote for freedom. The US collects far too much in taxes which are then spent on unconstitutional programs. Only 50% of the population pays income tax; but, 95% of the people pay too much in taxes. There is no such thing as a bad tax cut. Taxes should be lower, fairer, and more predictable.

3. A vote for less government control is a vote for freedom. The US government should be forced to live within the constitutional limits. But since most people have never read the constitution they don't even know what the limits are supposed to be. Government can not do anything well, so our constitution was created so the federal government only did the very few things no one else could do. They were given so little to do that they couldn't mess it up too bad.

These three things explain why I am not voting for George W. Let's grade him on these three 1. C He has not allowed any new horrendous gun laws, but he hasn't helped any either. He promised to sign a bill continuing the ban on Dangerous Looking Guns. 2. B+ His tax cuts were good and he fought hard for them, but they weren't really big enough he hasn't controlled spending at all. 3. F GW used 9/11 as an excuse to grow government while failing to do the things that would really help, like secure our borders.

Michael Peroutka of the Constitution Party is my choice for President. He won't even be on the ballot in Texas, but he is a certified write in candidate. But; to be taken seriously, the Constitution Party has to getting serious about getting their message our between elections. They are saying the right things, but are sort of weak on action.

Freedom is the right to make wrong decisions

A&M 36 Oklahoma State 20

Wow, I was incredibly impressed again. for 3 quarters we pounded OSU and then we were about even in the fourth quarter. We forced two fumbles while not giving up any turnovers. 5-1 amazing.

Reggie McNeal was all world Saturday. He was 19 of 25 passing for 288 yards and two touchdowns. He rushed 14 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns. After 6 games he still has not turned the ball over. He even had all the breaks go his way, he fumbled the football on a run and it bounced into the hands of our tight end. The very next play he throws a 60 yard Hail Mary which is tipped by one of our receivers and caught by a second receiver for a touchdown. Reggie was named the National Offensive Player of the Week. And halfway through the season, the Heisman talk is starting. If he keeps up this level of performance he deserves it.

We have Colorado and Baylor the next two weeks so we should be 7-1 then. Then we play Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and tu(texas university). So even if we lost the last three we would be 7-4 after 4-8 last year. Plus I think we have a good chance to win one or maybe two of those three big games. 9-2 is possible and you can even dream about 10-1 and a BCS spot. What a difference a year makes.

A&M 34 Iowa State 3

4-1 wow! I did not expect that we would be 4-1 at this point. I didn't see the Iowa State games as it was on pay per view, but it must have been good. We scored on our first two drives and kept rolling from there. Now; Iowa State is not a great football team; and we still have lots of room for improvement but this year has started very well.

We have still been getting too many penalties and too many stupid penalties. But I know the coaches will continue to work on that. We had some problems in kickoff coverage this week. But anytime you kickoff that many times at least you have some good film to find the weak areas.

Reggie McNeal is the real deal. After 5 games he has not thrown an interception. Before the Iowa State game there were only 3 teams in Division 1A that didn't have an interception and the other two were very small schools. That statistic by itself is amazing, but he reads defenses very well, makes good decisions, and is athlete enough to fill in any gaps he might have. Keep your eyes on Reggie.

Wake Up

Amazing that 228 years after we declared independence and fought a war for freedom we have drifted so far. The Founding Fathers would be embarrassed, probably not surprised because they understood human nature enough to know which way the country would naturally tend to drift.

Read this article by Joseph Farah or this one by Michelle Malkin, or how about this action by our elected representatives(apparently some crimes are more important than others, or some crimes are committed out of love and not hate)these are serious issues that neither of the big 2 presidential candidates have addressed. These are issues costing billions of dollars per year and possibly many lives, but the major media aren't reporting them either. In 2004, you can find more accurate and truthful reporting on the internet than on network TV news. Of course not everything you read on the internet is true, but it is probably more true that what you hear on TV and is certainly deeper discussion than 5 minutes dedicated to serious issues on Network TV.

There has been a lot of discussion lately about Dan Rather and the fake documents that CBS portrayed as real. But; most people don't know that Rather and CBS have been doing that for years without getting caught publicly. If you think Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, and others don't have political views, or that their reports aren't biased by their views then you need to educate yourself. Those guys have views and opinions as strong as Rush Limbaugh. Their newscasts show their biases, but unlike Rush they say they are unbiased. How can anyone intelligent enough to do what Dan Rather has done for years not have an opinion, and if you have a strong opinion, it will come through in what you say and what you report. Jesus said "You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. Matt 12:34 NASU. It is at true today as it was 2000 years ago. Everyone has an opinion, it is not wrong to have an opinion or to report with a biased. What is wrong is saying you are unbiased, but everyone else is biased.

Freedom includes the right to make wrong decisions.

The Law

People who don't know God personally tend to think that he made up the law to keep us from having fun. Actually, just the opposite is true. God gave us the law to protect us from things that we didn't even know could hurt us.

The Jews were given many laws when they were wandering in the wilderness after leaving Egypt. They were given dietary and sanitation laws hundreds of years before germs were discovered. The were told not to eat food that modern science has shown are more likely to have deadly germs in them. They were told to isolate people with communicable diseases so they wouldn't spread. They were told not to touch the dead to keep from spreading disease. They were told to bury human waste instead of leaving it in the street like everyone else. All of these laws were obviously to protect them, many of these laws are why the Jewish people are alive today and not destroyed when plagues ripped through Europe. Their laws protected them.

Why do we think that the other laws are to hurt us. God's laws against fornication(unmarried sex), theft, homosexuality, bestiality, adultery, murder, fraud, etc are all for our benefit. If we will do things his way our life will work out better and we will be happied. How many lives have been hurt by these sins, but yet we try to say murder, adultery, theft and fraud are wrong, but fornication and homosexuality are okay. We can argue all day about why God says they are wrong, but it comes down to he knows more than we do about the world; after all, he created it.

I wish people could understand God's heart. He wants to protect us and help us live the good life, but he won't force it upon us. He gives us a choice, but we have to live with the consequences of the choices. Sure he could have forced us to choose right, but then it wouldn't have really been a choice.

Freedom is the right to make wrong decisions. But the right ones always work out better.

A&M 42 Kansas State30

It was very close. With about 1:00 left to go it was 35 to 30 and K State was driving. We stopped them and then Reggie McNeal broke a 62 yard touchdown run. K State was the best football team, but they turned the ball over 4 times and we took advantage of it.

We are a decent football team playing very well. We don't have what it will take to beat some Big 12 teams, but if we keep up this level of play at least we won't have another year like last year. Plus success breed success. As our players get used to winning again it makes it easier to keep winning. If you had told me six months ago that we would start the season 3-1 and would have said no way. Good job Coach Fran, keep up the good work.

Cars and Freedom

I talked some last time about unintended consequences. Where the government attempts to solve a perceived problem and ends up creating several worse problems. That really relates with our cars.

You probably think you are free to buy a car with the features you want. WRONG!! You are free to buy any car on the market with the features closest to what you want. The difference is that your government has told the cars makers certain features that cannot be included and certain features that must be included. The car makers only make the cars they are allowed to, so your freedom(and maybe your life) is limited by the government.

CAFE is a federal law requiring all cars to meet certain gas mileage standards by certain dates, or pay fines added to the price of the car. To comply with this law the carmakers had to make smaller and lighter cars. The quit making large family cars and station wagons. The consumers didn't like smaller lighter cars so guess what, the consumers demanded and the automakers provided SUVs that are family size, but the CAFE standards don't apply to them. Of course they are more expensive and get worse mileage than the cars they replaced. But; that's not all, smaller lighter cars are also more dangerous. You are much more likely to be killed or seriously injured in an accident in a small car than a SUV. So either you can afford a SUV that is bigger and gets worse gas mileage than the car you would have bought, you buy a small car that get's great mileage but is more likely to kill you, or you can't afford either so you keep your old car that get's bad mileage and puts off more emissions but you can afford. Some freedom of choice.

What about safety, we can't compromise on safety can we? Well the federal masters imposed airbag rules that required a very powerful airbag to protect a large man with no seatbelt. Guess what, those federally mandated airbags were so powerful that they killed small adults or children. So the gov change the rules to allow lower powered airbags, but only after many people died and then sued the automakers for the airbags. So the cost of the lawsuits was added to the cost of the safety improvements and cars moved further out of financial reach. So again, more people drive older cars with no airbags because the new ones are too expensive.

I could go on all day, but you get the picture. Every requirement put on cars by government raises the price of the car, and many of the requirements don't even help the problem they are intended to solve. Often they create more numerous and more serious problems. Really each regulation is saying that consumers aren't smart enough to make their own decisions. So some beaureacrat will make the right decision for you. But sometimes their bad decisions can kill you.

Freedom includes the right to make wrong decisions.

Unintended Consequences

When laws are passed to solve a problem, people think that is great. But we don't think about the additional problems that did not exist before but now do due to the new law. This is because the elected officials often don't understand or care about the results of the law. They just want the political benefit of passing a law to solve a problem. Here is an article showing how a law passed to stop people from getting tax benefits from real estate deals set up just for tax benefits had the unintended consequence of cutting off tax benefits from legitimate deals that help build the economy.

Dennis Prager writes about the unintended consequences of our modern legal climate. By the way whenever you want to complain about the legal system, remember that most of the really stupid cases you hear about are decided by juries. We can blame the lawyers, judges, and plaintiffs all we want. But 12 (normal?) Americans made the decision. Maybe we need to educate people of the benefits of businesses instead of denigrating business every time we get the chance.

Freedom means the right to make bad decisions.

Freedom

A Friend told me I hadn't posted enough recently. I said I didn't know anyone was reading. If you are reading, at least comment occasionally. I love the feedback.

The Bible compares people to sheep, and when you watch American citizens you really see the profound truth of that comparison. After the Sept 11 attacks, we gladly accepted airline security that strip searches grandmothers, war heros, even Al Gore. While at the same time, we don't demand that our elected leaders close off our borders. We are at war, but millions of people enter the U.S. illegally across our border with Mexico every day. How many of those millions are terrorists? Who knows. If we are seriously going to fight a war on terror, the first step must be to close our borders. Do whatever it takes. If we aren't willing to do this we WILL lose the war on terror.

After we close the borders, we can debate wars on foreign countries and other things. We have to wake up to the size of this problem and do something about it. And then get the Government out of the airline security business. The government can't do anything well. Let the airlines do their own security and let them advertise the differences. Would you rather fly the most secure, or the one that gets you on the airplane the quickest. Give people the freedom to choose and watch what happens.

Freedom means the right to make wrong decisions.

Democracy

Here is another opinion on our "Democracy" I agree that limiting voters is more important that increasing possible voters. Limit it to those who pay taxes, or at least don't allow anyone to vote who gets "Government"(it's is really ours, stolen under threat of force) money.

"I am now and have been for years a firm advocate of developing a system to limit the people who can vote in this country. We need to find a way to restrict the number of people who can vote. If we don't weed out the chaff soon it may well be too late. Don't give me that 'democracy' nonsense. In spite of what you hear from your government school teacher, your leftist college professor, or that smiling talking head on television, we are not a democracy. Never were. Weren't supposed to be. You won't find the word 'democracy' in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States or in any constitution of any of the 50 States. There's a reason for that. Our Founding Fathers hated the idea of democracy. They knew that a government of majority rule would dissolve into a tyranny of plunder and chaos. In anticipation of yet another knee-jerk response to my proposal that we limit voting, let me remind you that there is absolutely no constitutional guarantee of your right to vote in any federal election. Do some reading. It isn't there. A latte to the person who can find anything in our Constitution that sounds remotely like 'each citizen shall have the right to vote in a federal election.' Happy hunting." --Neal Boortz

Republic vs Democracy

It amazes me how few people even know what type of government we have in the United States of America. We are NOT a democracy. We are(were) a Representative Constitutional Republic. Representative means that we elect representatives instead of all of us voting on whatever the issues of the day are. Constitutional means that the federal government is (supposed to be) limited by the Constitution in what areas it can control. Republic means that the rule of law is more important that majority vote so that the rights of minorities are protected.

This months Readers Digest has an article titled "Democracy Undone" about how our voting systems are not true democracy. Amazingly enough the author quotes Benjamin Franklin being asked what form of government the founders had given us. He reportedly said "A republic if you can keep it". This author quotes a founding father saying we have a republic in an article about how are democracy is being undone by the rules of how we elect our President and Congress. How can you write an article in a major magazine and not even understand the difference between the words you use.

Republican and Democratic systems of government have in common that the people have a voice in the government. But they are very different in practice and form. Learn the difference and be a part of moving us back to a republic as we were intended to be. Not a democracy no matter what the president or his opponent in the current election say.

A&M 27 Clemson 6

Wow, for the first time in almost two years I think the hype about Dennis Franchione might have a basis in truth. For the second week in a row we looked like a good football team, and this time we were playing a much better opponent. A&M dominated Clemson we were better than them offensively, defensively, and on special teams. We forced 5 turnovers while giving up none. It is amazing to see this after watching our team get worse every game for 13 games.

Reggie McNeal is the real deal. He made Clemson's defense look silly at times. If we needed a pass he threw a stike, if we needed an option he provided, and if we needed a run he did that too. The whole package. Pray for his health to stay good, and his ego to not grow. He could be incredible.

Election

I am not a great writer, but I can recognize logical arguments. Read this article by Chuck Baldwin where he lists similarities between Kerry and Bush. I still say a vote for Bush is a vote for the wrong direction. He and Kerry are more alike than they are different. Although, there are a few real differences between them.

A&M 31 Wyoming 0

A&M had it's first shutout in several years yesterday. We looked like a good football team all the way around. We ran the ball well, we threw the ball well, and we played defense well. I know the level of competition was different than at Utah, but we still didn't look like the same football team.

Remember the name Reggie McNeal. He is A&M's junior quarterback. If he can avoid injury this young man will be playing on Sundays in two years. He has all the skills you want in a QB: he can throw, he can run, he is intelligent, he is football smart, he can read defenses, and he can win. Get ready, if our offensive line can give him some time he can beat many good football teams.

Worldview

I have been busy flying for several days so I haven't posted so here goes.

I talked earlier about all education being indoctrination. Young people come up with their view of the world from the people they grow up around. It is learned from parents, grandparents, siblings, babysitters, teachers, church workers, friends, classmates, etc. If a child is spending time with someone, they are learning from them. So, it follows that if a child is homeschooled they are learning their worldview from their parents. If they are sent to daycare and then government schools then they are still learning some from their parents, but much comes from other people.

This idea of worldview is even more important that the actual education the child receives. There are basically two worldviews. One is that GOD exists, and the second is that HE doesn't exist. Now in the US, most people would say that GOD exists. But, when you look at the way they view the world you can see a disconnect between their values and GOD's way of thinking. They know there is a GOD, but think abortion should be legal, evolution created man, it is okay for two men to get married, and the government should help the poor. So their every day decisions are based on a secular (non GOD) worldview.

If you believe GOD exists and that he told us how to look at the world then you will have concrete beliefs about many decisions of life. But if your worldview is non GOD, then your ideas can vary from day to day and will mostly result in making decision based on what will give you short term pleasure or benefit. There can be almost no rational discussion between people from these two groups because their foundation is so different. They can't even agree on the rules of the debate without a common foundation.

You can see this so clearly in politics today. Al Gore's recent statments about President Bush's religion being as dangerous as extreme Muslim views is a good example. I am not so sure that we can continue to exist as a country with so much diffence in our world views. What made this country free and great was a common foundational worldview. We could argue policies, but that argument began and ended with a common worldview. That is no longer the case. Those of us with a GOD worldview must work to show others GOD through our lives, because if we don't bring them to our worldview, then our nation will continue down the same path and that is somewhere most of us don't want to go. So spread the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST, he is the only answer to most of our problems.

Are teachers bad?

I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea from my last post. I don't think all teachers are bad. In fact I know a lot of caring people who are teachers. But they are good cogs on a broken wheel. Some teachers are teaching because they couldn't get a better job and they want 2 months of vacation. Some teachers are there because they want to help children, these are the ones we want but the system has a tendency to frustrate them so many of them leave. But in general, the teachers are not the problem

With money comes power, and the federal government's funding of education has increased so they have to power to mandate programs that don't work and end ones that do. The National Education Association is a teachers union that is teamed up with the Department of Education to keep effective programs and accountability out of the schools.

Just like any bureaucracy, government education is made up of some good and some not so good people working under rules that prevent them from succeeding. And for that reason it can never work, like any bureaucracy, it is doomed to collapse of it's own weight.

Education?

Fred (whoever he is) has some very interesting solutions to the our government indoctrination program(some call it public education). While some of his thought are good, they are not the American freedom solution. The problem is clear: our government funded schools have had huge increases in per student funding, huge decreases in teacher/student ratios, so what has happened? Our schools continue to be abject failures. All moral rules have been removed from them so we can't tell the children it is wrong to steal or cheat. Children graduate without learing how to read, write, or do arithmetic; but they are well versed in sex, drugs, and welfare dependency. We must all realize that ALL schools are for indoctrination. The leaders teach the children how to think the way they do, while hopefully teaching the tasks of reading, writing, and arithmetic. The problem with government schools is not that they are indoctrinating children, but that they are indoctrination children with their beliefs instead of the parents beliefs.

The solution is simple: for two parent families- homeschooling, for single parent families-private schooling. Get government totally out of the education. If you take the dollars spend on education at the local, state, and federal levels and don't steal it from the people then parents can afford these options. Companies would probably willingly donate some of the tax savings to private schools. This would give us schools that would teach what the parents want taught for much less money. Homeschooling puts the responsiblity for education where God put it; on the parents. Check out HSLDA and THSC for ideas on how you can get started.

If you aren't willing to take the responsiblity for your children's education, then keep sending them to government schools, but don't be surprised when they come home thinking government can solve any problem and God doesn't exist. For more info on totally eliminating government schools and how it would work, check out this site.

Football

College Football starts tonite. Texas A&M vs Utah 6:30 pm. I don't know if it is 6:30 Mountain or Central time. Apparently the A&M sports information department has never heard of time zones because the press release just says 6:30.

This should be an interesting year. For those who don't know, after the 2002 season the Aggies fired the winningest coach in school history. RC Slocum was there 14 years and had a .721 winning percentage. He never had a season below .500. But because he didn't win a National Title in those years the powers that be thought they could do better. So they fired him and hired Dennis Franchione Now Fran does have a good history, but not in the Big 12. He went 4-8 last year. So he managed to do in one year what RC couldn't do in 14, go below 500. He also set lots of records for turnovers lost, points scored against us, those types of things. But you have to remember that the Big 12 is the toughtest conference around.

So was firing RC and hiring Fran the wrong thing to do. Time will tell. You are really taking a chance when you fire a coach of the caliber and character of RC Slocum. But, although he had done fabulous in the old SWC he hadn't done great in the Big 12. So, if Fran can recruit better than RC and get them ready to play maybe it was the right decision. I respected RC both on and off the field, but IF Fran can out-coach him and keep the respect of people outside of football, it was the right decision. But last year was sure a disappointment.

So tune in to ESPN at 6:30 tonight and see the beginning of Fran 2004. The Utes have a pretty good team and are playing at home. Let's kick it off and get started, I am tired of waiting.

Republican Drift

It is amazing and sad to see the current Republican party. I am from Texas and have seen my state change form 80% Democrat to 70% Republican. The amazing part is I don't think the views of the people have moved rightward(they have probably moved left), but the parties have both moved so far left that old Democrats find themselves comfortable in the Republican party. The only problem is where do the old Republicans go?

There are a couple of choices. Though they don't have much chance in the 2004 election, third parties such as the Libertarian and Constitution parties(links to their website are to the left) are attracting people who still believe in Freedom and the Constitution, unlike the Republicans. Check out their positions and see what you think. But remember, the official platform of the Republican party is pretty good, but their actions when elected are not even close.

Some peopel have argued that if they can't win you shouldn't vote for them because it hurts Bush. But if you don't agree with Bush and the Republican party and their actions(not their talk) then you can't in good conscience vote for him. Look at Bush's good things: Tax Cuts, and maybe the handling of the terrorist attacks, what else good is there? Then compare his bad things: increased spending, Every Child Left Behind act(with Ted Kennedy), Patroit Act, Campaign finance act, the undeclared(and therefore unconstitutional) war in Iraq, failure to close our borders or enforce immigration laws while we are at war. He has nominated some decent judges, but has been unwilling to really fight for their confirmation. Here is a President that after 3.5 years in office has NEVER vetoed a single bill passed by Congress. That has never happened in our almost 230 year history.

As for me, I figure I am in agreement with Bush about 30% of the time(Kerry Never). I don't have a problem with compromising and voting for someone I don't totally agree with. But 30% means he is on the other side. I would like to vote for Michael Peroutka with the Constitution Party, but they won't be on the ballot in Texas(see their website for how hard the two major parties make it to get on the ballot). So I will vote for Badnarik with the Libertarian party. I don't totally agree with some of their postions but it is about 70% agreement.

Of course, we each have to decide for ourselves who will we vote for. I just wanted everyone to know where I stand and why.

Political Circus

It occurred to me lately that the whole campaign process is directed at about 7% of the population. The rest of us are forced to listen to it. Where did I come up with the 7%; about 50% of the eligible voters are registered to vote. About 50% of registered voters vote in any given presidential election(less in state and local elections). So now we have 25% of the population electing our leaders. But probably 35% of the people had decided long ago that they were going to vote Democrat and 35% Republican regardless of who the candidates are. So that leaves about 30% of the voters(undecided and third party voters) that decide the election. So 30% of 25%(actual voters as percentage of eligible) is 7.5%.

Think about that, the whole campaign. Millions of dollars for TV, for travel, for the conventions to convince about 7% of the people to vote for them. Wonder how much that is per vote?

First Things First

It always amazes me that most people think they will go to Heaven, but don't know what the criteria are for going. It is like going in to take a test, but the teacher hasn't told you what a passing score is. Except here, the test is forever and if you fail you can't imagine how bad it will be.

But there is an answer, the GOD that created Heaven and Hell gave us a book that tells us what it takes to get into Heaven(the Bible). The bad news is it takes a 100 on the life test to get in. So, none of us can make it. It doesn't matter if you are making a 95 or a 20, it isn't enough. GOD is so holy that he can't tolerate sin(none, zip, zero, zilch, nada). If you have ever sinned, then you don't qualify for Heaven. Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; KJV.

So now what, we have a problem. GOD can't let us in with sin and we have all sinned. There is only one possiblity. Someone else had to take the test for us. GOD sent his SON, who made a 100 on the test. But he is willing to trade his test for yours, just so you can get in. If you give him your life, he will give you his. That is the only way to Heaven. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. KJV

So just admit to JESUS that you aren't good enough, give him your life and take up his. He is ready to take you. He wants to trade your test score for his. It is the only way and he won't turn you down. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. KJV

Why don't you ask him today. Then, get a Bible and read the Gospel of John, and find a good church and start going. You can never be good enough without HIM, just admit it and be good enough in HIM

I guess you have to start somewhere. Isn't the blog world interesting. Anyone can have their own website that they can publish whatever is important to them. Maybe one has thousands of readers and one may not be read by anyone but themselves, but it is out there. That is freedom of speech. You have a right to write, but not a right to be read.

If you found this blog accidently or on purpose, stop by and visit awhile. Let's talk about religion, politics, football(college), family, or freedom. And I intend to have fun too.
