FOX IN THE HEN HOUSE

EACH LEAF REPRESENTS AN EXPERIENCE, FRIENDSHIP, MIRACLE OR INSPIRATION
A LONG TIME AGO WHEN I WAS A CHILD, WELL ONLY 76 YEARS AGO.  I WAS BORN IN AMERICA TO A FAMILY OF 6 OTHER CHILDREN.   My FATHER SUPPORTED HIS FAMILY AS A COAL MINER IN THE STATE OF WYOMING.  I AM SURE IT WAS A MERGER LIVING BECAUSE IT WAS AT THE END OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION. WE WERE POOR BUT MY PARENTS NEVER SAID THE WORD “POOR” AND AS A RESULT NEVER FELT INFERIOR TO ANYBODY IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
THEN THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED PEARL HARBOR WAS BOMBED AND AMERICA ENTERED INTO WORLD11.

  I REMEMBER OUR VICTORY GARDENS, THE SAVING OF TIN CANS, RATIONING OF ITEMS FOR THE WAR EFFORT. OUR COUNTRY BECAME UNITED TO WIN THE WAR BETWEEN JAPAN AND GERMANY.  MY FATHER WAS NOT DRAFTED INTO THE WAR BECAUSE HE WAS EMPLOYED IN A HIGHLY DEMANDING PROFESSION, AND THE FACT HE HAD 7 CHILDREN.  THERE WAS HOWEVER MANY MILLIONS OF MEN WHO WERE DRAFTED AND MILLIONS OTHERS WHO LEFT THERE FAMILIES AND JOINED THE MILITARY.  IT IS ON RECORD THAT EVEN CHILDREN 12 AND 13 YEARS OLD TRIED TO ENLIST AND FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTY, SOME BEING ABLE TO GET PAST THE RECRUITERS AND GOING TO WAR. (THERE IS A MOVIE CALLED “TO YOUNG TO BE A HERO” THAT TELLS THE STORY OF SUCH A YOUNG MAN 12 YEARS OLD.  THIS WAS A TIME OF GREAT LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY AND PATRIOTISM.  I GREW UP IN THIS BACKGROUND.   WHEN VICTORY OVER JAPAN AND GERMANY HAD BEEN WON, MEN CAME HOME WITH THE FEELING OF GREAT PRIDE AND I REMEMBER THE CELEBRATIONS, IT WAS A TIME OF GREAT JOY AND LOVE FOR THE REUNITING OF FAMILIES.  LOVE AND PATRIOTISM WAS VERY INFECTIOUS, EVEN AT A YOUNG AGE I WAS STEEPED IN THIS ATTITUDE OF NATIONAL PRIDE.  SHOVEL IN HAND WITH HARD WORK AND LOVE FOR COUNTRY WE BEGAN TO REBUILD TO BE THAT SPECIAL COUNTRY AGAIN. I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF THE MUSIC OF THAT ERA AND WILL ALWAYS STOP AND LISTEN IF I HAPPEN TO HEAR A TUNE BY ONE OF MY FAVORITES ARTIST. MY MIND AUTOMATICALLY GOES BACK TO THAT ERA WITH THE SAME FEELINGS OF PRIDE AND PATRIOTISM

WHAT KIND OF CITIZEN ARE YOU?A dose of realism is overdue. Every parent should go back and re-watch the classic movie “A Rebel Without a Cause,” starring James Dean. It is a gem, because it shows that some things are worth fighting for.The generation that first watched this movie understood it: most of them had fought in World War II or lost family members in this fight against Hitler and his allies. They knew that sometimes you should fight, not just walk away and avoid fighting at all costs.
Today the majority holds a different view. Zero Tolerance means we don’t tolerate modern bullies (a good thing!) nor will we tolerate modern heroes who take a stand for things that really matter (ridiculous!). We’re so afraid of risk, we teach our kids to never take a stand.
THE RULE OF LAW:  A REPUBLIC FOR WHICH WE STAND IS THE RULE OF LAW. EVEN THE OLD TYPE WESTERNS TAUGHT THE RULE OF LAW.  A BANK ROBBER ROBS A BANK, RIDES AWAY, A GROUP JUMP ON THERE HORSES AND RIDE AFTER THEM.  CATCHING UP, THEY DECIDE TO HANG HIM HIGH. MAJORITY RULE, HERE COMES THE SHERIFF PULLS HIS GUN AND FIRES A SHOT IN THE AIR, NOPE, HE IS GOING BACK FOR TRIAL, THIS IS RULE OF LAW.

WAKE UP! WE ARE AT GREAT RISK, THE FOX IS IN THE HEN HOUSE AND WE ARE BEING DEVOURED!!
Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909 – June 12, 1972) was an American community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing. He is often noted for his book Rules From that book here are Saul's thoughts on how to create a socialist state:

There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.


1) Healthcare  Control healthcare and you control the people x

2) Poverty  Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live. WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

3) Debt  Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty. X

4) Gun Control  Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state. Pending

5) Welfare  Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income) 

6) Education  Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school. X Common core

7) Religions  Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools. x
     EXAMPLE – Movie “ NOAH”. Story from the Bible, doesn't even mention the Word God.    The producer is an Atheist.
8) Class Warfare  Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor. x     Any of these sound familiar? 

IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF AGAIN?
WHAT WILL YOU DO?  BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AND PRETEND IT ISN'T SO?  WE ARE A COUNTRY OF EXCEPTIONALISM AND IT COMES WITH A PRICE, FREEDOM ISN'T FREE, PEACE IS OUR OBJECTIVE, IT COMES WITH A PRICE. WILL OUR 12 YEAR OLD TRY TO STEEL INTO THE MILITARY OR WILL THEY WORRY THEY WILL NEED TO LEAVE THERE I PHONS BEHIND? TOO BIG  A SACRIFICE?

Ronald Reagan
“Well, I don’t believe the people I've met in almost every State of this Union are ready to consign this, the last island of freedom, to the dust bin of history, along with the bones of dead civilizations of the past.  Call it mysticism, it you will, but I believe God had a divine purpose in placing this land between the two great oceans to be found by those who had a special love of freedom and the courage to leave the countries of their birthhttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png.  From our forefathers to our modern-day immigrants, we've come from every corner of the earth, from every race and every ethnic background, and we've become a new breed in the world.  We’re Americans and we have a rendezvous with destiny.  We spread across this land, building farms and towns and cities, and we did it without any federal land planning program or urban renewal”.

Glenn Beck, speaking at the Summer Retreat for the David Horowitz Freedom Center, said this ““We are at a crossroads.” “On 9/12, I really didn’t understand the progressive movement. It wasn’t until about 2005 or ’6, I’m thinking to myself, ‘What is happening to us?’ How did we go from this country that understood who it was to something I don’t even recognize? What happened to us?” “What happened to us was that we got fat and lazy. We said it would never happen here; it could never happen here.” 
We conquered communism. They just changed their outfits. Progressives are nothing more than patient communists.” 

IT HAS BEEN PREDICTED THAT WE ONCE AGAIN WILL BE DRAWN INTO ANOTHER WORLD WAR.    THE PREDICTION!  It would start in Tunisia and then it would spread across the Middle East into Europe and the rest of the world,” Glenn explained. “So this is just a more formulated updated version of this. The unrest will spread. Communist, Radicals, and Islamist will work together to destabilize the Middle East and the Western World. It will spread to Europe, first to restore the Soviet borders, next our enemies will see our lack of unity, military, and financial resolve and collapse and transform the U.S. and the West. The new world order will be China, Russia, socialist outliers, and poverty zones.
As I've said before: America is the Last Beach.—Ronald Reagan
When we worry about the rattlesnake we forget the scorpion! --Thomas Chandler
  The crow may be caged but his thoughts are in the cornfield.      -- Belizean (on temptation
 The first delusion that the devil sells to the simple-minded person, is that, “if he is good to everybody, then everybody will like him.” For in being so-programmed, the simple-minded-person will drop his guards and forget what the real lesson of spiritual warfare is. And that real lesson is this, “you are a soldier of Christ, and no good soldier performs well, mingling all-day with civilian affairs, and a soldier is a soldier because he has enemies to keep at bay from encroaching on his territorial integrity
WILL WE BE ASKED TO FORGET BECAUSE IT MAY OFFEND SOME?

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every Kingdom divided against itself,  it is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against it shall not stand.
 Matthew 12:25

MAN WALKS AMONG US - Be Still

Each leaf represents an experience,  a value, a memory or a friendship
Every waking day we are bombarded with the chaos of the world events, Wars and rumor of Wars, gang fights, school shootings and marches for equal rights with entitlements. It seems there isn’t peace anywhere. Our minds try to live each day and find that peace which is so fragile; our family’s seem to be having financial, spiritual or marital problems.  It all seems so overwhelming. 
It remind me of the children’s fairytale  of “Little chicken Little”  There are several Western versions of the story, of which the best-known concerns a chick that believes the sky is falling when an acorn falls on its head. The chick decides to tell the King and on its journey meets other animals (mostly other fowl) which join it in the quest. The moral to be drawn changes, depending on the version. Where there is a 'happy ending', the moral is not to be a 'Chicken' but to have courage.

The challenge is to Be Still! And listen! to all the other wonderful thoughts and actions that are taking place in this awesome country called America.  A Café in Idaho where all the personnel donate their time and services for 3 hours on Mondays to give free lunch meals to seniors who come thru their front doors.  They are treated with full service and courtesy. While walking away from that café you have a wonderful sense that people still care and are willing to sacrifice to show it. Be Still! and listen. These are the peaceable warriors.  Special  Young women with families of their own who take the time to visit care facilities that have special angels living there who are sick and weary, women living alone who barely have visits from  their own families, looking forward to these visits with the hugs and concern that is shown. Be Still! and listen., These too are the peaceable warriors..  Husbands that have lost a love one from cancer or another disease, taking the time to send a “Thank You Card”  stating appreciation to you for your kindness and care for his family during his wife’s funeral, his wife finding you to be a true friend and loving her time with you. Be Still! And Listen”.  Look for the all the untold deeds that go about quietly and never ask for anything in return, these too are peaceable warriors.  Young men and women who have made mistakes in their lives and  looking for that connection again to past friendships and relationships, needing acceptance and forgiveness, finding family and friends with unconditional love Be Still! and listen, these too are peaceable warriors.  Young families who take others into their home and let them live there until they can stabilize their life again and make it on their own; sometimes these families have as many as 8 or 9 persons living under one roof trying to maintain cooperation from all who live within those walls.  These too are peaceable warriors.  Be Still! and listen to couples who give up their bed and sleep on a mattress so you can will be more comfortable. Creating a meal and apologizing for it not being good enough then not allowing you to help with clearing and helping with the dishes, because you are a house guest. These too are peaceable warriors. Be Still! and listen.  Young men and women who go to a foreign country and fight for the freedom and dignity that humans deserve, some never arrive back home but made the ultimate sacrifice, true heroes and warriors in every sense

Our challenge is to maintain an attitude of gratitude in all things, and then Be Still! and listen we too will be worthy to be the peaceable warriors.  


Mark 4:39

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, B Still and ceased, and there was a great calm

 

Psalms 46:10

 Be Still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
