"Better get ready!" 

Ready for what? For whatever is coming next. 

Ultimately, we need to be ready to “meet our Maker.” You often hear that one. What does that even mean? Are you ready to go? 

We have recently been doing some necessary end-of-life planning in our household. For us, that means cleaning out some nooks and crannies, getting rid of some “stuff” that we don't use or need anymore, and even trying to identify what some things even are or what they go to. 

It also means doing some paperwork about our “stuff” - like who has a say in how our “stuff” gets divied up among our beloved children or friends. And deciding on who gets to have something of a final say on certain end-of-life medical issues. 

YUK! Who likes thinking about such things? Well, certainly lawyers do, as they charge hundreds of dollars per hour to discuss and formalize these things on paper. But the rest of us, not so much. I guess it is necessary to do, so our heirs can get our stuff from us. Then, I go and look up “heirs” and find this:

“Heirs are determined by law when no will exists, whereas beneficiaries are specifically named in a will or trust.”

They have legal language for everything!!! And this old guy often says, “Why can't they leave things alone and make it all easier rather than more difficult?” I guess there's a reason for it all, but it sure seems to me not to be very good reasons.

The question still remains - ARE YOU READY? Ready for what? For whatever is coming. The end is coming, sooner or later, for each one of us. I am being reminded of that more often as I get older. I have different thoughts about most everything in this stage of life. It is different, and more reflective for me at least, and sobering in a good way. I seem to consider everyone and everything from another perspective now. 

As a believer - I absolutely believe in God and His love shown to us through His Son Jesus - I look forward to a spiritual place that Jesus said He would prepare for us. He came as Light and Love into the world, to bring and share Life more abundantly. It is that preparation that should concern us. And it is far less complicated than all the complicated legal language and exacting formatting of who gets what of our “stuff.” 

Well, enough of these ramblings… I need to go get ready…

Blessings, Everyone!

One of the oldest themes in the Bible is God putting His will into the hearts of rulers to do what He wants them to do. In fact, He not only chooses the rulers, raises them up, or takes them out, but He decides what they will do during their administration, or during the period of their rule, even though they think they are in charge.  

A kindergarten teacher was observing her class as they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. She asked one little girl, who was working very diligently, about her drawing. The girl replied, “I’m drawing God.” The teacher paused and said, “But nobody knows what God looks like.” Without missing a beat or looking up from her drawing, the little girl replied, “They will when I’m finished!” That’s confidence.

Except for the wise people of Arizona and Hawaii, who have year-round standard time, Americans were once again forced to “spring forward” and lose an hour of sleep on Sunday morning. With the time change, accidents increase, as do health-related issues. Losing an hour of sleep disrupts our “body clocks.”  As William Shughart, II writes in the Miami Herald, daylight-saving time misaligns “our human body clocks with morning sunlight, thereby disrupting circadian rhythms and causing the spikes in heart attacks, strokes, depression, and other health problems observed in the days following the one-hour spring and fall time shifts.”  

On Saturday, March 7, the usual collection of communists and fellow travelers will have arrived in front of the White House for a “No War on Iran!” rally. This time, however, the “No War on Iran” cause was joined in advance by Stephen K. Bannon and his “Real America’s Voice” channel of MAGA malcontents and others, such as Trita Parsi, the co-founder and executive vice president of the Soros-funded Quincy Institute. Bannon treats Parsi as a font of wisdom for America’s Middle East policy, which was appeasement of Iran until Trump took command.  

For those of us who often lamented the state of government in America, and had on our wish list, “If only we could get a businessman in there to run things,” well, we’ve gotten our wish. And as the old adage goes, “Be careful what you wish for.”  

At a time when President Trump has acted in national self-defense against Iran, Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul has joined with the Democratic Party to subvert his ability to wage war and win. It is another indication that the “libertarian” philosophy of Rand Paul plays into the hands of America’s enemies. He might as well be a Democrat.  

In this historic year, as we celebrate America’s 250^th anniversary and President Trump’s accomplishments, the truth must be uncovered, and President Trump must be protected.  

He created Hell for so many, now it's his turn. The Ayatollah just got his ticket punched.
