The Angel of The Lord Is A Guard

In my desperation I prayed (and the Lord listened).
She saved me from all my troubles.
For the angel of the Lord is a guard.
She surrounds and defends all who fear her.



The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
She rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
The righteous person faces many troubles,
But the Lord comes to the rescue each time.

For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous;
Not one of them is broken!

Psalm 34:6

The Good Shepherd

“I Myself will look for My sheep and find them.
As a shepherd looks for his sheep
When they are not together,
So I will look for My sheep.

And I will save them all
From the places where they were spread out
On a day of clouds and darkness.
I will bring them out from the others
And gather them from the countries,
And bring them to their own land.

I will feed them on the mountains of Israel,
By the rivers, and in all the places of the land, where the people live.
There they will lie down in a good field
And feed on good grass
On the mountains of Israel.
I will feed My sheep,
And give them rest."

Says the Lord.

Exekiel 34:11

Loyal Hearts

For those who would be military leaders?
They must have loyal hearts,
eyes and ears,claws and fangs.

Without people loyal to them?
They are like someone sleep walking at night.

Without eyes and ears?
They are stumbling though the dark.

Without claws and fangs?
They are like hungry men eating poison food
just waiting to die.

Therefore good generals always have:

Intelligent and learned associates for their advisors.
Thoughtful and careful associates for their eyes and ears.
Brave and formidale associates for their claws and fangs.

Master Zhuge Liang - 222 A.D.

Ladies and Gentlemen Start Your Engines! 

The general election is on bigtime! 
Governor Mitt Romney's speech yesterday was firing on all cylinders.
 It was superb.
I think he nailed it hard.
 It's a good model for a general stump speech in my opinion.
 I'd really have to study it more to break it down. 
Yet the general consensus seems to be that
 it was well received among the chattering classes. 

No doubt doubt it. 
Even President Obama hit it hard yesterday too. 
("Slow jam news" hit it out of the park B!) 
This race is on! 
The President has a real nice way about him. 
He's much more at ease with an audience then Mitt. 
Mitt just has to stay focus on the message if he wants traction.



Message control will be pivotal in this campaign for both teams
I think the general public is already mentally prepared for 
one historical nasty campaign to begin. 
I think both candidates will be wise to take the high road
 while their mud teams get down and dirty with the nasty. 

This is really exciting stuff folks! 
I wish both the fellas the best of luck!
 I love this stuff! 
This election is on! 
 Ladies and Gentlemen start your engines!

The Prophets

Can two people walk together
Without agreeing on the direction?
Does a lion ever roar in a thicket
Without first finding a victim?

Does a bird ever get caught in a trap
That has no bait?
Does a trap spring shut
When there’s nothing to catch?

Indeed, the Sovereign Lord does nothing without
Revealing his secrets to his servants the prophets.



The lion has roared—
So who isn’t frightened?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—
So who can refuse to proclaim his message?

Announce this to the leaders of Philistia
And to the great ones of Egypt:
“Take your seats now on the hills,
And witness the chaos in Israel.

For my people have forgotten how to do the right thing,"
says the Lord.

Amos 3:10

Morning In America (Part Deux)

Here we go folks!
The general election is on!
Governor Romney vs. President Obama
will break all financial records yet.
This is exciting stuff ladies and gentlemen.
A whole lot of money
and a whole lot of nasty will be headed our way.
If you thought the Republican race was a brutal fight?
This is going to be a knock down, drag out,
horse race right up to November.
Yes sir!

Personally? I don't like the nasty.
They call them contrast ads but I call them nasty.
I hate the nasty.
But nasty is in!
Yes siree.
There ain't nothing nobody can do about it.



Senator Marco Rubio is a sure bet for V.P..
Mitt needs women and Hispanics.
I think any other choice then Senator Marco Rubio
would be a regrettable choice for the Governor.
One does not want to live in the land of regret.
He's a natural.
You my friend need a natural,
since they call ya' stiff and wooden.

What ever happens in this race?
I want my American economy and business
to be thee number one focus of this race.
America's business is business.
Not war man. It's business.
Let's get back to work America!

I like working.

Strength of Character

Because of our faith,
Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege
Where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully
Look forward to sharing God’s glory.

We can rejoice, too,
When we run into problems and trials,
For we know that they help us develop endurance.
And endurance develops strength of character,

And character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
And this hope will not lead to disappointment.
For we know how dearly God loves us

Romans VI
