I had quite a day today: Shrove Tuesday 2009.
One guy would have shown up for the advertised sausage-and-pancakes pre-Ash-Wednesday Shrove at the Twin Cities anglican church where he had eagerly played the organ for Sunday-morning congregational hymn singing ten full and happy years under the open-minded and accomodating leadership of the previous Protestant-Episcopal-tolerant pastor (now relocated to Iowa), but being that certain cultic-catholic congregants of that parish had had a growing repulsion against evangelical Biblical witnessing through his singing and e-mailed Scripturally-rich witnessing.....while instead fermenting a feminist-sexist-embraced craving to worship cultic-catholic heresies of eucharistic-self-atonement, catholic-not-Christian-creeds-equal-Bible, maryolatrous and apocryphal ritual worship in liturgy manipulations, silly iconic imagery mountings, and at-the-altar adoration of and allegiance to fancy-and-different-robes choreography.....the new rector/priest appointed by the cultics - rife and reeking with satanic jealousy and spiteful deviance - ousted him from the well-paying organ-playing job into sudden and devastating no-unemployment-compensation no-trespassing-on-the-premises exclusion and replaced him with a chauvenist-female-senior-warden-approved girl organist of inferior organ-playing substitution.
Oh well. I guess it was not appropriate for that man to continue to be funded for life-supportive expenses-payment monies by the wayward fake-"christian" heretics. It would sort of be like working for and getting paid by Al-Qaeda terrorist operatives, a narcotics gang dealer, or Playboy, Hustler, etc.
Mt 5:10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
John 16:2 They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
Joh 16:3 And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Ga 6:12 It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
Nevertheless, the ousted individual I mentioned needs to play the organ for Christian-church congregational hymn singing for SOME church group.....and get paid for it enough to help pay off his residual-expense and recurring monthly bills, plus supplement his spouse and dad who have somewhat come to his temporary rescue. The LORD will see to it as He apportions, in His good time and way.
The wife and I had Shrove-like pancakes at the International House of Pancakes in Brooklyn Park (MN). It was free, except for the donation to Miracle Children's [whatever] organization.....and the two cups of coffee with creamers for me.
Instead of hearing Barack's 8pm Budget Speech, we were with some church-attending friends at some public hearing in Minneapolis where at least two hundred people were attending, testifying in front of a panel of Minnesota legislators.
The reputedly-homogay-supportive dibble was there, as was the albrecht who falsely accused and convicted a certain someone of antisemitically threatening to harass and/or harm jews because that someone pronounced a spiritual prediction of God's future judgment on publishers of a metro-area pro-abortion jewish newspaper because they supported abortion-homicide choice.
The forum hearing was interesting and informative, and orderly - except for one very noisy and weepy female human quite loudly bemoaning her autistic son. She should have been told to sit down and let the next person speak, or be removed by the cop present outside if she did not quit voluntarily after being told that.
About half of the testifiers told the legislative panel that they did not object to having their income taxes raised (so that their pet special-interest pork projects could continue to be funded). It was a dishonest and deceptive request. What in effect they were asking was having the legislature force everyone in Minnesota by law to have their income taxes increased so that each and everyone would indirectly pay for those pet special-interest pork projects of those raise-my-taxes advocates [IF the legislators decided to fund such at all with the acquired and requested employment-and-innovation-discouraging income-tax revenue].
It is about as ridiculous as a member of the inferior-gender weaker sex telling someone that she needs $10 a.s.a.p. for a tank of gas, and says: "Here's $10. Now, give it back to me so that I can immediately buy $10 worth of gas. Better yet, force each of your neighbors to involuntary contribute $1 to you so that you might give me $10 for gas." Why does she not instead take that $10 of her own and pay for her own gas without going through legislative middlemen - middlepersons who might choose to spend the acquired $10 for things other than her gas?
And, instead of the legislators taxing everyone for someone's earmarked special-interest pork projects, why does not the one who wants their income tax increased simply write out a check out of whatever excess money they supposedly have and are willing to give up as a charitable donation to the legislature....without burdening everyone else?
The pork projects which proponents begged for with do-it-now-or-you-will-pay-more-later irrationalizations and complaining (who generally ridiculed Governor Pawlenty and his budget-cutting proposals) consisted largely of women-run advocates for wasteful and non-productive medically-related "disability" funding and legal-aid assistance, particularly for "disadvantaged" "people of color." And what has First Corinthians chapter 6 stated about not engaging in lawsuits? Not heard was the opposite side of the coin, as to WHY Pawlenty and his staff decided who and not simply what to cut with their line-item-veto pens. It is a pity when subversive special-interest porkers have to depend on government handouts to survive and thrive.
There are some deserving "minorities" who have lost jobs because of being persecuted related to rejection by employer, other employees, and/or customer clients because of them despising authentic and reasonable on-company-time Christian testimony and witness, relating to:
Re 14:12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
Re 17:14 .....they will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful."
Such true-minority misfortunate victims of godless and tyrannous oppression are genuinely "disabled" and "handicapped" - and as such rightly deserve State accomodation and support to compensate for wrongly-discriminatory unfair disadvantage.
Others, however, merely take advantage of the State-budget gravy train...and thus do not deserve to be on it.
That reminds me of the Bible verse:
Mt 19:12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
Abhorrent within the testifying of many who got up to speak, and among the many ready-to-get-something-for-nothing negroes present, was a repeated reference to "people of color" (whatever the duce THAT means or does not mean). As the old adage goes: "Who are the real people 'of color?' Caucasians are pink when born, green when sick, brown when tanned, and gray when dead." It obviously is illegal discrimination and racist to use the term "people of color" during testimony - as if "blacks" or "browns" or "afro-americans" are innately deficient and incapable of bettering themselves by themselves but rather are victims of lack of forced-giveaway post-slavery reparations.
Such savvy-about-giveaway freeloaders certainly do not look disadvantaged as they are coaxed into and placed within nice houses and drive around in their good-condition Cadillacs, as they sidelight rocking the neighborhood with noise-pollutive thudding-bass f-word rap noise, vandalizing by terroristically spraying gang-territory-marked graffiti and thus defacing public property, dealing drugs, and blattering incomprehensible eubonic jibberish among irritated others who do not understand such babble.
When I got back home, a couple cable channels were broadcasting replays of Barack's Budget Speech. Now the sane and sensible know that there is ONLY one true Messiah who lived for a short time on Earth around 2000 years ago, was murdered by pseudo-"legal" crucifixion lynching, was resurrected back to life by whoever Persons of the Holy Trinity the Bible indicates, ascended back to Heaven, and someday soon will return with power and glory in the clouds of Heaven to establish a Righteous Millennial Reign on this planet before Final Judgement Day when all around us cataclysmically disintegrates in colossal fervent fire:
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.
So, Barack is no real messiah, though some have miscalled him such. However, he is an inspirational and determined orator - but so was Adolf Hitler. Moreover, people (especially the network media) should understand that the Means of Salvation are not renewable energy, anti-human protection of so-called "endangered species," women's so-called "equality," legal acceptance of homosexual pseudo-"marriages," nor post-high-school education in college or a trade school for at least one year, nor "reform" of health services (which reform means providing for some and depriving against others). Obviously (and sarcastically), receiving a government loan for schooling immediately enables one to pay non-schooling monthly expenses right away. No? So what would you want: costly training to do something else with no money coming in meanwhile....or prompt employment to get enough money to pay your life-supportive bills?
During his speech, Barack never mentioned home-schooling associations nor parochial schools, but did mention charter schools. I suppose that mention of the religious would interfere with alleged "separation of church and state" to the irreligious, even though such censorship and omission of reference to superior and safer parochial education non-lawfully disregards the non-prohibition clause of the First Amendment while one-sidedly only proclaiming the anti-establishment clause.
Without ending his speech with reference to the Creator whom he should have stated to be: "Jesus Christ" (and objecting anti-Christian atheists, homos, antisemitic muslims, and jews be damned), "God" is not therefore defined, but is merely a metaphorical and allegorical cliche similar to "Have a good one," "Have a nice day," or "Good luck."
Speaking of homos, the pro-homogay mayor of San Francisco was interviewed on cable-TV's Hardball later this evening, and the mayor - when asked about the status of judicial court appeal pertaining to same-sex marriage in California - insinuated and inferred guilt on the "previous" administration for abrogating "rights" because of the presumed disparity of the Ballot Initiative of Proposition 8 requiring [only] "50%" vote being on par as to making public policy, with adjustment of State Constitution in contrast requiring two-thirds majority approval.
By declaring such, the handsome angel-of-light/wolf-in-sheep's-clothes mayor gavin was dishonestly deceptive in two ways.
First, the broad field of "rights" was never on the ballot initiative, being that there are many rights for many different things. By being too all-inclusive, and not specifying homosexual same-gender "marriages," the mayor was being dishonestly deceptive in his mis-semantics. Secondly, there never has been, nor is now, nor ever will be a "right" to commit any ideological allegiance to or behavior consisting of same-gender homogay perversion, as there never will be any "right" to commit (and clearly not perform) murder, adultery, theft, blasphemy, gossip, slander or libel, or kidnapping. It is a misnomer to misconsider homosexual unions "marriages" which are never to even be considered "civil" unions. There is nothing civilized about same-gender effeminate sodomy. If the reader must, the reader is referred to the Absolute and Never-Changing Divine Standard of Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:26-28, and First Corinthians 6:9-10....applying to not merely the early-church disciples who first heard it, but to their children's children down through their generations to the present time. And there is NO "god" who has authoritatively changed anything relating to that along that timeline's way.
Speaking of San Francisco, the remote control I was using when watching Barack give his Budget Speech was useful in blocking out my view of the obnoxious sight of feminist pop-up-pandering/jack-in-the-box Nancy Pelosi sitting next to Joe Biden - which Nancy Biden (like Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Livni, etc.) should NOT be authority over men, according to:
Isa 3:12 My people--children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your leaders mislead you, and confuse the course of your paths.
1Ti 2:12 I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
15 Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
My, how many times there was pop-up standing ovation in response to Barack's rather vague utterances. Over and over and over and over and over. And over and over. And over. At least Biden got the exercise he needs, as he patronizingly eyed pop-up Pelosi congenially every once in a while, perhaps and hopefully thinking how he is [thankfully] closer than she is to becoming President, should something happen to Barack.
Well, another day is tomorrow, while demoncrat advisors and supporters plot the sieg-heil-reminiscent Hitler-youth-like early-childhood-"education" propaganda curriculum and brainwashing of America's deeply-indebted regulatable and impoverishable planned-parentlessnessed, loosely-mopheaded-during-winter/bare-armed-and-legged-during summer, tattooable youth from pre-kindergarten infancy to adulthood. At least Wall Street and other investment speculators and big banks got enough stimulus bailout money to continue to piecemeal must-pay-back-with-interest anti-foreclosure loan money to those without jobs to buy or pay back anything. Right in line with: "Owe no one anything except to love one another" of the New Testament, yes?
