Word Pictures - Green Bay Tree

I posted the below quote from Psalms 37 a few days ago. I still believe it. In case you don't believe wickedness is widespread and to show the quote is appropriate today and not just in Biblical days, I'm posting some headlines from news stories just yesterday and today. It might be an interesting comparison to see first IF the mainstream media even covers these stories, and what their slant on them is if they do, as well as what pictures they post. 

Psalms 37:35-36

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

36 Yet he passed away, and , lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Transgender Satanist Whose Slogan Is “F*** The Police” Wins GOP Primary For New Hampshire County Sheriff

PAY ATTENTION TO WHO IS RUNNING FOR LOCAL OFFICES, OR YOU COULD SEE STORIES LIKE THE ABOVE ABOUT YOUR TOWN.

This person says about her/him/itself:
Anarchist. Shemale. Tranny. Libertarian. “Fuck the police.” Free Talk Live. Bitcoin. Reformed Satanic Church. Black Lives Matter.
....
It’s all there. None of it is a secret. I couldn’t possibly have been more upfront about who I am, or my position on things. Did none of you pay attention to the election two years ago, when I criticized Eli Rivera for not going far enough with his sanctuary policy? Did none of you remember the six foot tall tranny who ran for sheriff and then city council?

______________________________________
All the above stories can be found on The Gateway Pundit, an independent Conservative Internet News site. There are other such websites. To my mind, any person who wishes to find out truth will read some or many of those as well as the major news networks. Gateway Pundit makes no secret that they support our duly elected President Trump. And neither do the mainstream networks make any secret that they hate the very thought of President Trump. An open mind will seek truth.

 

 

 

 

Christmas Blessings

Looking back over this year I seem to have lived in a kind of fog for most of it, doing whatever was necessary in fits and starts. A little lonely, in spite of having people around most of the time. How do you learn to be a single again after more than fifty years? Like most things, put one foot in front of the other, then do it again.

Christmas has always been one of my favorite times of the year. I love the carols which remind us of the reason for the season, decorating the tree. Cleaning and straightening the house, not so much! The last three Christmas seasons were hard with my husband bedridden from a stroke and in a nursing home under hospice care the last one.

But those three years brought blessings, too. A special joy was great grandson Tyler, whose smiling little face and burbling laugh brighten the darkest day. I pray that as he grows up, Tyler will look to the Jesus whose birth we celebrate for guidance. And that we, his parents, grandparents and great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins will be examples of those who also look for that guidance in our lives.

Much as we love Christmas, Jesus did not suffer arrested development and remain a babe in Bethlehem. He grew up and accepted the suffering, death and separation from God that His human body would have to endure to save those who believe in Him from eternal death. And because the Holy Spirit raised Him from that death, we can now celebrate His birth and His life and the life we ourselves live and will live after our last breath on earth. My Christmas may be a little more subdued this year, but celebrate I shall. Because I believe our loved ones in Heaven celebrate with us when we remember the
Reason for the Season, Jesus!
