Psalms 150:6 says “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord”. In the book of Genesis, we are told that everything was made for God’s pleasure. This knowledge is crucial to understanding why we are on earth. We are here to praise God. If we don’t, the very rocks would cry out in worship because God is worth to be praised.

God warns us that is dangerous to fall into the hands of the living God. This is why we need to find the mercy of God through Jesus Christ. The world has long ignored/rejected God. Oh, they’ll find other gods that are more to their liking, but the real God? No, the real God doesn’t allow us to participate in justice. The Ten Commandments are too restrictive. Lesser gods make room for sin and cozing up with them is comfortable. We kind of enjoy lust, envy and doubt.

The earth is in continual distress because of drought, flood, earthquakes, etc The apostle Paul tells us that the earth is in turmoil and groaning for the return of Christ. If we don’t praise God and worship Him only, the earth will and does cry out. Creation is furious, unsettled, and vindictive because mankind has covered the earth with violence and hatred of Jesus Christ. The earth longs to be at rest with the Creator. The lion and the lamb will live in peace when we accept the Prince of Peace.

Those were the words the thief on the cross said to Jesus. We who claim to be Christian assume Christ will remember us. Jesus told us that if we love Him we would obey His commandments. The thief had no opportunity to do anything but Jesus assured him that very day he would be with Him in paradise. Why? Why does that thief get to go to paradise when we who are alive and yet remain have to obey a bunch of commandments?

Before all that obedience we have a wicked heart to take care of. Jesus knew the thief was wanting to be with Him. Isn’t that the key ingredient in our relationship with Christ? Do we simply want to be with Him? I think it’s that decision that makes us willing to do anything for Christ. The thief was willing, wanting to be with Christ.

We have nothing to offer Christ except our hearts, and the desire to be His bride. That’s enough for Jesus. Obedience is just preparation for the marriage supper of the Lamb. Whether five minutes or a long life, Jesus just wants us to be wanting to be His bride.

Christmas has come and gone. It’s celebrated by millions of people. For some, it’s about Santa and gifts. For Christians it’s all about Christ, at least we say it is. We do plenty of gift-giving, parties, and to a large degree, copy the world.

Two thousand years ago Jesus Christ was born. There are Christians who say we shouldn’t celebrate His birth. We didn’t used to do that they say. Just because you didn’t do something before doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. There is something to be said for the wisdom of those who came before us, but not everything from before our time needs to be relived.

If God made peace with man through Jesus Christ then I would think His arrival would be worth celebrating. The Bible states that God is angry with the world continually. The flood of Noah is an indication God isn’t some loveable fuzz ball ready and willing to forgive people’s sins. He saved Noah and his family worth saving, eight people.

If God is that dangerous to sinners then whatever provision He makes to escape HIs wrath should be celebrated, shouted from the rooftops. It’s good news. God loved the whole world, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Men were and are in bondage to sin and thanks be to God that Jesus Christ is our go-between Him and us.

God, creator of everything, was willing to humble himself to the image He had created, to be born, grow up in a world by its very nature offended Him daily, and at the very pinnacle of youth, thirty-three years old, gave up His life to God, receiving in His own body and spirit the anger of God.

I thank God for sending His son to take my place on that cross and giving me a friend who sticks closer than a brother. And for that reason, I celebrate His birth. I am glad Jesus was born. Happy day when Jesus took my sins away.

Elizabeth Gutfahr, Santa Cruz County treasurer, 2014-2024, embezzled $38,000,000 during her tenure. Santa Cruz is a county with less than 47,000 people. My question is, how can someone steal almost four million dollars a year and nobody is the wiser?

I’m guessing the new treasurer looked at the books and caught the swindle. She bought over twenty vehicles, made lavish improvements to her ranches, (ranches?), and helped her family out when needed. Didn’t anyone notice the new cars? All governments cry about lack of money, so why didn’t a small community’s local government notice the shortfall? Could it be that there’s more to this story? I would think so but I have a feeling if there is some bribery going on, the other crooks accepted cash only and probably were a little more discreet.

Now just imagine a big county or a state, or our country. Could it be that Vivek and Elon will discover so much corruption that the whole nation will come to its senses and stop funding the cabal that’s destroying us? We can only hope.

Since George H. Bush’s election, the Republican/Democrat cabal has finetuned its process of submitting deep-state-approved candidates for our consumption. Bush, Clinton, then Bush again. Obama was an outlier, a necessary distraction to draw the publics attention away from the building destruction of our constitution. Obama was a key factor in implementing the communist agenda (as outlined by Soviet defectors) and the obvious economic malfeasance by both parties led to the 2008 collapse. Obama, a black man, became the symbol of change. What kind of change? In his own words, fundamental change.

Over the last hundred years, our system has been groomed to transfer power from the electorate to the government. As government and corporate people became more proficient at sleeping with each other, we little people have been robbed of our power over our lives. The progressive era began under the tutelage of Teddy Roosevelt, Taft, and the archetec of our current tyranny, Woodrow Wilson.

This fundamental change implemented by Obama was the final knife in the back of our country. Obama succeeded in dividing our country, painting everything with a racial brush. Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush were the obvious choices of the cabal to pass the monarchal torch to. But a bowling ball appeared on the Republican side of the stage name Donald J. Trump. Rather quickly Jeb was exposed as the little corrupt man he was, and one by one the other dominoes fell and Donald stood there alone.

A large part of the Republican Party was thrown into chaos because their boat was hit with a big wave of common sense. Someone was actually challenging the corruption of Washington D.C. The elites had huge power to spend tax money on whatever pet project they wanted. Now a businessman was trying to bring some sense and proficiency to how money was spent. In other words, something had to be achieved with the spending of money.

Trump’s first term accomplished much but the plandemic was a well-orchestrated operation and unfortunately, Donald Trump fell for the ruse and let the machine destroy what he started. No need to talk about the disgraceful tactics of the Democrat Party. Lawfare and weaponization of the FBI and justice department is now well documented. 2024 is a new era. Will the scum of the earth fight like mad to stop us from the pursuit of happiness? Of course, evil people must resist or end up in jail where they belong.

Now the work begins; it’s morning in America once more. There is a storm coming. Be ready to fight, fight, fight. We’ve been taught how by President Donald J. Trump. Let’s do it. Winning is our only option.
