What Price Freedom??

These must truly be the last days! Never have I witnessed such chaos as we have in the world today. Not only here in the USA where we are living what they call "this time of economic crisis", "economic slowdown", "financial difficulty"...whatever you want to call our problem here, it pales in comparison to what is going on in Iran.
I must say that in times past, I would probably have said that whatever they get, they deserve, remembering the days in the 70's when, the Ayatollah Khomeini and his thugs who kidnapped Americans in a stance against the US and her policies. And considering that a major portion of the population in Iran is Muslim, and we are mortal enemies of Islam itself, it's hard to have an opinion towards their plight there, which is in constant turmoil with their government.
But in recent days the outcry of the people of Iran has spread around the world as the people there decry that the election to oust dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a farce and has been totally rejected by the people there in Iran. The election results, which supposedly counted over 40 million votes in just 4 hours, have been in question for 5 days now in the streets by thousands of unhappy citizens. After the death of 26 year old protestor by the name of Neda Salehi Agha Soltan, the Iranian people have been outraged by the killing and beating of her citizens there.
I must admit that I have been glued to Twitter for several days now reading updates as they come across the website by the thousands of citizens using the networking site as a live feed, since all news media have been ejected from Iran.
Fannie, Freddie, GMC nor Wachovia cannot utter a sound as despairing as a people who are crying out for Freedom and fairness, as we have here in the US. Let's not forget to pray for them and remember those freedoms that we so willingly take for granted. We are so Blessed!

Silence Of the Lambs

What is happening with the Church today??? I'm not talking 'churches', as in Baptist, Methodists, etc....I mean THE Church. The Chosen of God who will be Raptured soon...THAT Church! Where is our voice? Are we writing letters to our leaders? Are we writing letters to the editor of the local newspapers?? Do we speak out in public....outside the church walls... about what is happening in our world and especially in our country?? Do we care?? Does the Bible insist that we be involved with what goes on in our world?? Are there any Christian leaders today that we can trust??

WHY ARE THE LAMBS SILENT??

Why are we laying down? Does it not matter any more? Have we given up? Since our 'Home' is not of this world, do we have to give up on this one??

We are on the brink of global disaster....do we think that Iran and North Korea are just playing games with the FORMER World Power? (USA) Think we're NOT the FORMER World Power??? Who is in office that has been making a laughing stock of the 'good ol' USA' since January 20th of this year?? And add to that the global economy is driven by what happens in the US...why should there NOT be unrest in the world?

Are we the most loved nation on earth? Does the Muslim world love the US... or would they LOVE to see us defeated? They don't have to lift a finger because B.S. Obama is doing it for them and we're just sitting by singing our hymms and playing church....

Who cares anyway????????????

A Time Of Transition

(It has been my intention to write one per week, but it seems that time has not allowed my self-imposed deadlines--I'll try to do better....I have the topics if I can remember them....--DC)

Since my lay-off and subsequent time, I have discovered (by looking back) that I have been in a time of transition. One could say, "Well, duh!" but I think that it is more that just that! It's not really anything that I can put my finger on, nor will I express all the turmoil that is going on inside, because even I myself, cannot figure that one out! But the transition is there, none-the-less!

I have recently discovered some of what I call, 'Vintage Vestiges' (dontcha like that one??) Feelings and memories of some good times from the past that seem to have come to full circle and are conflicting with the present. I'm not exactly sure what that means or insinuates, but it is really a strange place to be, even for me! I'm not real good with dealing with my feelings, what ever they are....about different situations and in this text, the time...but I am torn between two chasms--one from that time, the other from now. Is it possible to blend them?? I can't say, because the path is before me yet! Either could be a good choice but a blend could be a much better match!

You know, in the past few months I have been with Denise and cared for her during her accident with her knee; gotten new glasses so that I can sortof see better; I've done some painting and stained the front deck, laid flooring in the 'foyer' (entrance)....that's like supper (dinner)--which is a pet peeve of mine....maybe for a future post--LOL! Done some reading, and some writing; re-did my website (worldofdanny.com ); took a deeper interest in what I loosely call my 'photography'--(I keep writing this out so as to spark a clue from within...you know if you write the 'pros' and the 'cons' down on paper, sometimes it clears up a decision some)

It's been many years since I've written in such mystery--it's a talent that has long since been hidden within because, quite frankly, I'm not too inhibited to write whatever my feelings and thoughts are because I have an audience of one (myself) beside my Father in Heaven, Who is audience of ALL! But writing this all down just seems to clear it up some,... if not muddy it up some as well!

The easy road or that which is more out-of-the-box? Actually, doors have creaked open that inspire 'change' but what is that to be? One could read this and read into it something that is not in my mind at all--like adultry, but that is TOTALLY not at all it. Nope, nope.... It is a journey that is neither harmful nor necessary.

What's really funny about all this is the fact that I HATE 'change'!!!!!!!

I just wonder if other so-called 'normal' people ever have these 'Vintage Vestiges'??

Confused?
