My wife loves roses and over the past several years she has planted at least twenty plants. Many different varieties including climbing roses and knock outs create a beautiful and natural barrier along the pasture fencing and around our yard. To walk out in the morning sun and see them flowering in their full glory is not only a sight to marvel at, but it clearly tells me that Our Master is hard at work showing himself through the beauty he provides.
As I look closely at the flower, I see perfect organization, purpose and result. Look at the wonderful color, the arrangement of the petals, and the bees drawing out the nectar and it is clear that the are meeting their intended purpose. And when you add to that the enjoyment that we humans get out of just looking at them and enjoying the arrangements that we can bring into our home made of them, they have more than succeeded.
Now compare this to the fiasco which is our government and its three branches in Washington, D.C., and you see that God has the answers and sinful man, which makes up our government as well as all of us, is woefully inadequate and incapable. It is clearly impossible for most to avoid the temptation to gain power and material wealth instead of focusing on the needs of the country. One only need to look at the two items that are on the front burner today to know that something is terribly wrong.
In the Supreme Court's handling of gay marriage, it has decided to overturn thousands of years worth of God's law based upon reasoning that doesn't even meet legal standards. In a nutshell, Justice Kennedy, writing for the majority, basically stated that those of us who are opposed and believe that only marriage between a man and woman can be moral, are somehow bigoted or misguided. I think those of us who follow God know who is really misguided. And even on the California proposition case, they punted, but in so dong may have killed the real opportunity for citizens to overturn laws by referendum.
I even hear that there is a movement in the national Republican establishment to quickly jump on the bandwagon of the gay marriage goal nationwide. All I can say is that I cannot be a part of support for this; moral values are important, much more so than any political factor at least one thousand fold.
And then there is the immigration issue. Despite the clear knowledge that the majority of Americans believe the country should have secure borders before any further immigration consideration should be made, the United States Senate just thumbed its nose at the very people who they are supposed to represent. For the first time in American history, a national legislative body chose foreign and currently illegal immigrants over their own citizens. And it was all done to appease big business and its thirst for cheap labor by those Republicans who supported it and to gain more votes, legitimately or otherwise, by the devious Democrats.
I hope each of you will remember the names of the Senators listed below, and if they are your supposed representative and you are a conservative, I hope you will vow to never vote for them again:
ALEXANDER (TN), AYOTTE (NH), CHIESA (NJ), FLAKE (AZ), GRAHAM (SC), HATCH (UT), HELLER (NV), HOEVEN (ND), KIRK (IL), MCCAIN (AZ), MURKOWSKI (AK), RUBIO (FL), CORKER (TN), COLLINS (ME)
Ladies and Gentlemen, these fourteen Senators sold us out for sheckels, just like a modern day Judas. And further, many got some fat pork perks in the bill as a reward, just like a repeat of Obamacare. And the picture of Marco Rubio hugging Harry Reid is something I will never forget. It was disgusting.
I haven't mentioned anything about the Executive Branch because I think we don't even have to address its position on these and other important issues, including national security, coal, the Keystone Pipeline, Benghazi, and the IRS. We clearly don't count for anything in their continued destruction of America.
Keep following these issues, friends, and continue to speak out, particularly right now with the House of Representatives, and never sell out your love of God and country for a few cheap skeckels. We will just have to live to carry on the struggle another day.
