God's oily wrathMe and DS are wearing out wedding rings!
June 29, 2010 9:05 AM
The oil spill along the Gulf Coast has most of us wondering why something of this magnitude could happen. With so many people?s livelihoods as well as wildlife and sea life in peril, we just may be having a spiritual wake-up call!
Having recently studied the Old Testament, my understanding of God?s ways has become more clear. Each time God chastised the Israelites, it was principally because they were not teaching their children the commandments. Nor were they following them. In addition, they were worshipping false idols.
We can readily see how the money motive in our country has replaced the desire to serve God first above all else. Our young people are steeped in sexual sins and are contracting sexually transmitted diseases in epidemic proportions. Teen suicide is far greater than in any other country, as are abortions caused by both surgery and abortifacient contraceptives.
And where are the wedding rings these days?
Just perhaps the God of Genesis, Whose first command was to be fertile, multiply and fill the earth, and Whom even the winds obey ? perhaps His cup is full. Perhaps!
I?m told that military chaplains can no longer pray in Jesus? name with our troops, although they can still mention God.
May God help us and have mercy on us!

I personally blame Allah for the spill and hope he will fix it. And Buddha's not that innocent either.

This oil spill is an Obama-nation brought on and bought into by this socialist/communist/fascist/non-American shadow man/President and he must take blame for it and all other spills, explosions, leaks, and the horrible attempts to control and clean-up the whole entire stinking mess.....I think he said that anyway. If he didn't, he wanted to say it. Instead he impugned our paltry efforts in Afghanistan for which Obama is also to blame and accept as "his war."
Anyway, saw Jesus face in the tidal swirl near Inlet Beach yesterday. Then it was gone, just loike that. Only He can do that stuff. Then I thought I saw His face in a pile of sea foam, sea weed, old plastic, rubber stuff, cigarete butts, and lime rinds, and He looked very sad. Then the tide took all that away, too.
The oil is tragic. The spill is monumental. The blame shared by Us all. But look at the beaches and see what We have left as our footprints - crap! Just crap. Let's get on with what must be done in the best way we can - clean it up, spend whatever it takes. Then try and explain and legislate and enforce rules and laws to get us off oil, and get tourists to look behind them selves as they walk and litter our beaches.
