Whoa...

September 24, 2018

Another episode of trump as chicken.

Not man enough to fire Rosenstein? He’s not even there. Left town for New York. Left his underlings to do his dirty work for him so he doesn’t get his wee hands dirty? Guess we’ll have to see.

"I can't stand by and watch him lie."

That says it all.

September 24, 2018

Hope so!

September 24, 2018

Yes. That's him.

September 24, 2018

Which is totally pathetic.

September 24, 2018

Wouldn't surprise me.

September 24, 2018

Gee - whooda thunkit?

This is one of those Gospel passages that phonies like Franklin Graham

NEVER seem to remember. When’s the last time any of us heard any of them quote this bit of Scripture?

Or the story of Jesus and the rich young man? Rich young man approached Jesus asking about joining His movement. Jesus tells him to go and sell all he has and give the money to the poor and then come and join up. The story ends with the rich young man going away, sad.

Or the story about the rich dude who sashays down the center aisle in church with big money bags to set down at the altar right in front of everybody so they wouldn’t miss it, versus the little belt widow who hid in the shadows, embarrassed that she only had a couple of pennies to donate because that was all she had. And whose offering was more pleasing to God? HERS. NOT the rich dude’s.

Or the recommendation of Jesus that when you pray, go into the closet and do it, where only God sees you and hears you. Because it’s NOT about making a big public show to demonstrate how supposedly “holy” you are.

Or the lesson about how it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Does anyone ever remember hearing any of these bigtime televangelists with their earthly empires repeating THESE passages from Scripture? Probably not. I’ve never heard any of them focus on these Teachings. They seem to have other priorities.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
