The Thirsting: Christ Have Mercy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4-gmpykw9o

Well someone take me back in time
before the sun refused to shine
to a world that was innocent of death that blows your mind
a little girl was born on earth
so you see now
that caused a billion dead because of choice not liberty
the devil was pleased as he could be
in this girl that wrote the book
they’d call it planned parenthood
don’t believe me take a look
1917 she planned and she’d hope you’d understand
there’s nothing wrong with killing baby’s of a race that just aint white
call it fate call it luck in 73’ she won the buck
and abortion was legal
just grab your knife your gloves your hook
well someone take me back in time
before the sun refused to shine
to a world that was innocent of death that blows your mind

Lord have mercy
(Lord have mercy)
Christ have mercy
(Christ have mercy)
Lord have mercy
(Lord have mercy)
Christ have mercy
(Christ have mercy)

The demon was born in her heart so you see
when she founded the American birth control league
exterminate eliminate a race that you can’t tolerate
just start with the baby daily grab his hands his toes and feet
we don’t want blacks we just want whites
so lets just kill what we don’t like
she never called herself a nazi
but with Hitler she’d agree
well someone take me back in time
before the sun refused to shine
to a world that was innocent of death that blows your mind

Lord have mercy
(Lord have mercy)
Christ have mercy
(Christ have mercy)
Lord have mercy
(Lord have mercy)
Christ have mercy
(Christ have mercy)

Lord have mercy
(Lord have mercy)
Christ have mercy
(Christ have mercy)
Lord have mercy
(Lord have mercy)
Christ have mercy
(Christ have mercy)

Can Pain Be A Blessing?

It has been sixty nine days since my last rant. I haven't been po'ed by much lately, perhaps I am ill. I'm sure that I will have something to say on the 20th of this month, but that is still days away.

I suppose that the only thing that really has me irritated right now is pain. For those who don't know me (if anyone actually reads this blog), I have depression, fibromyalgia, sciatica, and arthritis in my back. These all stem from a back injury in 2001. I've taken countless medications and tried numerous therapies to fix my problems.

For so many years I have been angry at God for giving me such pain, so many years have been spent wishing for the pain to go away. I have prayed and cried "why me?" many times.

By the grace of God I have started to move past that now. I look at my misfortunes as gifts. I see my pain as opportunity. Don't get me wrong, it would be hard to say to God "No, no, I wish to keep this pain forever!" But this is my life, this is what I have been given. Perhaps it has taught me to be more understanding of those less fortunate than I. Maybe I can comfort someone in need who is going through the same pain I am.

Tribute

O beautiful, for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.
O beautiful, for pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw;
Confirm thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law!
O beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
'Til all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine!
O beautiful, for patriot dream That sees beyond the years, Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!

I've had the words to "America the Beautiful" and "God Bless the U.S.A" stuck in my head all morning. I've dedicated this painting to this day. This is a tribute to every soldier who has served this great country. This is a tribute to those who have always been proud of the United States of America. This is a tribute to those who continue to pray for America's leaders regardless of party lines.

A post on IMAO really got to me today. It reads,

Mr. President
Posted by Basil on November 5, 2008 at 7:18 am

George Washington looked through his leveling instrument when he heard the sound of hoofs. He looked up, and saw the rider approaching.

A small cloud of dust rose, tracing the path the rider was taken down the dirt road that worked its way through the plantation.

It was wonderful here. He appreciated the life he had now. Was it life? He wasn't sure. He didn't care. He simply enjoyed it.

The rider pulled up.

"Mr. President," the rider said, tipping his hat.

"Mr. President," Washington replied, returning the salute.

"Are you going to see the results of the election?" John Adams, the rider, asked."Is it December already?"

"No, this is the November election," Adams replied. "The electors won't actually meet for another month. But the November election is always fun to watch."

This story left a sinking feeling in my being. I know God is in control. I know that I must pray for Obama, and I will do so. It just stings my heart knowing that the foundations that generations before us fought so hard for might be torn to shreds in a matter of a few years.

All I've seen in the news last night and this morning is how great it is to have a black president. Yes, it is great that a people who were once slaves now have one of their own in the highest position in the world, but that is not the issue here.

I'm not sure that the Obama voters have really thought this through. It doesn't matter if Obama is black, white, or green. Will he unite us? Will he help us defend our great land? Will he keep us safe? Is he willing to do everything he needs to protect us? Is he willing to uphold the Constitution that so many worked so hard for? Is he ready to lead the country into battle and die for her?

I'm not sure of the answers to those questions, and that is the part that makes me uneasy.

I'm proud to be an American where as least I know I'm free.And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the U.S.A

Why I Cannot Vote for Obama & Call Myself a Christian at the Same Time

Some have told me that the issue of abortion is not enough reason to not vote for someone.

I disagree.


More babies have died because of abortion than any tyrannical leader (Hitler, Pol Pot, etc.). The United States is responsible for over 40 million murders of babies. Over 40 million. It may not be the only issue, but it's a key point that ultimately affects other issues.

Maybe this quote will help put things into perspective: "But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?" Mother Teresa

After reading that quote, doesn't it seem that abortion may be just a tad more important that you think? If we say it's okay to kill children, how can we convince people that it's wrong to murder? How can we convince people it's wrong to beat their wives or children? How can we say abuse or rape is wrong?

The line "Innocent children die all over the world as a result of American policy and actions" has been thrown at me. That's pretty much a "so what?" attitude. Do you not care about these precious lives that have been taken just because of man's need for convenience? It sounds to me like you've given up if you believe this. Do you think that just because this two party system has a stranglehold on the country that abortion will never been reduced? The key is to take small steps toward eliminating it. Can it be stopped all at once? No. But it is definitely worth fighting for. Aren't these helpless babies some of the "least of these" that we should be fighting for?

Either you are pro life or you are not. There is no in between.

Obama supporters are choosing to vote for the most pro abortion candidate who will appoint judges who will increase abortion rights. He will sign the Freedom of Choice Act. In fact, that is the first thing he said he would do if elected. This would legalize partial birth abortions. Are you aware of this sick practice? Abortions will not decrease under Obama's reign. How can you support him? As a follower of Christ, aren't we commanded to care for the least of these?

What is More Scary Than an Eight-Legged Nasty?

If somehow you are unsure of "The One's" stance on abortion, you can get the facts here:

Obama's Abortion Extremism

Based off of just one or two of those points, Obama's integrity is questionable. After reading all of his positions on abortion and embryonic stem cell research, I have concluded that I have been giving Obama way too much credit. He is not a human being, he is a monster. Period. Maybe that's why he doesn't care about human life, he's got to be part demon or something. He's turned into Margaret Sanger. It just blows my mind that he is so oblivious to the facts of The Birth Control League that he so strongly supports.

This line is what I just don't get:

"...some Obama supporters insist that he is the better candidate from the pro-life point of view."

I have yet to hear a good reason from someone who is supposedly against abortion as to why they would ever even dream of voting for such a madman.

Talk about taking this country to hell in a hand basket. Get ready to start Goose-Steppin'!

"In Obama We Trust"

I'll ask this again. Where the heck was I when the Kool-Aid was passed out?

This isn't just about politics anymore. This is about good vs. evil. And no, I'm not saying that Obama = evil and McCain = good.

So many people have grabbed hold of faith this past year, and it's not the right kind. They have put their hope, trust, and faith into a man. It's one thing to say, "I have faith that he will..." but it's another thing to say,

"I've officially been saved, and soon, whether they like it or not, the rest of the country will be too. I will follow him, all the way to the White House, and I'll be standing there in our nation's capital in January 2009, when Barack Obama is inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States of America. In the name of Obama, Amen."

That literally makes me feel sick to my stomach. Something bad is brewing in this country. It wears a mask of peace, hope, love, and change. It's not really Obama that is bad, it's how people have started to cling to him. They cling as though their salvation depends on it, and eventually they will be like, "Jesus who?"

I pray for these people. I pray that they will find Christ to place their trust in, instead of this empty vessel. Men will fail, but Christ will not.

I am genuinely fearful of what will happen to this country if Obama gets elected.

Those which must not be named.

This perhaps is more than just a rant, it could be therapy.

I got into the shower this morning and shut the door. I was about to turn on the water when I saw a very large, fast moving creature race down the door handle. Of course I screamed like a sissy girl. Realizing that it was going to web the door shut, I quickly hopped out, threw on a robe, and raced to find a device of swatting. I ran back into the bathroom and there it was running as fast as it could towards me. "Vile creature" I screamed! I swatted once, twice, three times a lady, and flushed it's ass.

Anyone who knows me, understands my fear of the eight-legged nasties. This one was worse than most. It was large and fast. I compare them to fast moving zombies, which are much more frightening than their sluggish brethren. The fast ones move like they've been feeding on kids with ADHD filled with pixie stix. But I digress. Oh how I fear them. I've found myself throughout the day looking around to make sure the carpet isn't moving.

Maybe my rant about "those which must not be named" will help me with my fear. Then again...
