Merry Christmas

A wife was tired of her marriage and didn't feel loved anymore.  So, one day while her husband was at work, she decided to pack her stuff, leave a note, and leave.  When her husband got home and saw the note, he was crushed.  He called around to try to find out where his wife was.  He finally found out that she is staying at a hotel in another city many miles away.  He called her every day to try to get her to come back but she kept refusing.  That weekend, the husband packed his things and went out to the hotel she was staying.  He just had to try to convince her to return to him.  When he got to the hotel, he went to her room and knocked.  When she answered the door, he begged for her to return to him and told her how much he loved and missed her.  At that moment, she felt his love and returned to him.

A few days later, the husband was wondering why his wife returned to him when he went to the hotel to get her, but not when he called her.  He didn't say anything different.  His wife told him that it was because he came to get her.  When he showed up, she felt how much he really did love her.

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  How is everyone doing?  Things are going good out here.  It looks like I will be getting home tomorrow at around noon and will be home until Sunday.  Even though it will hurt our pay, the extra time off will be nice.  I have a lot of things to do at the house.  I will also be home when Micah goes for his therapy.  That will be nice because I miss most of his therapies cause I am on the road.

God is truly amazing.  Tomorrow, Christians around the world will be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.  But it is more than just a birthday.  It is the day that Jesus came to us and said, "I love you."  Of course God's people already knew that He loved them.  They had it in writing and they heard it through the prophets.  But, they didn't feel it.  God knew this.  In fact, God had this day planned even before Adam and Eve sinned.  God knew He would have to show His people just how much He loved us and He knew exactly how to do it.  By physically coming to us and asking us to return to Him and letting us know that He loves us so very much.

I want to wish y'all a Merry Christmas.  May your day be filled with joy and blessings.  Take care and God Bless.

CREATING VICTIMS

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dayna Morales made national headlines and received an outpouring of public support and at least $3,000 in donations after she claimed a family stiffed her and left her a note on the receipt reading, "Sorry, I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle and the way you live your life."

But after an unidentified couple came forward days later with a customer receipt and bank statement to prove that they had in fact left Morales an $18 tip on top of the $93.55 check, former friends of Morales also came forward claiming she was a compulsive liar.   http://is.gd/13343H

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don’t know why people got mad at Dayna.  What she did is exactly what many in society does, including many of our elected leaders.

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  How is everyone doing?  I pray that everyone is staying safe and warm.  Things are going good with my family and I.  We got hit with some snow and ice but the cold temperatures was the worst part of the storm for us.  I am currently in Hebbronville, TX and did have to go through the areas of Texas that got hit with the storm.  Lots of vehicles were off the road and the travel was very slow.  I just have one thing to say.  People, if you have to be out in bad weather, go slow.  Especially if you live in a state that only has five snow plows in the whole state.  Well, I don’t know how many snow plows Texas has, but it can’t be very many.

I started out this blog by posting information about a story that has made national news.  A waitress named Dayna who worked at Gallop Asian Bistro told people via Facebook that a Christian couple didn’t leave her a tip cause she is a lesbian.  The couple came out and showed the media and restaurant that they did tip her.  It appears (we don’t really know) that she not only lied but also conned people out of lots of money via donations.   What I want to focus on though is not so much Dayna, but how society does exactly what she seems to have done. 

What Dayna did was work on people’s emotions by creating a victim and create a bad guy.  In this case, the victim was her (as a homosexual) and the bad guy was a couple (Christians).  This was a perfect situation because the government and media has already worked on people emotions by making homosexuals look like poor innocent victims and Christians are evil hateful people.   So this situation is already an emotionally charged one.  She then posted it on a social network group and works on people’s emotions.  She did this in order to profit from it.  This really didn’t take much for her to figure out.  Take a look at our elected leaders, the media, and the people around you.  Society creates victims all of the time to benefit our agenda.  Lets take a look at a few incidents.  Do y’all remember the Duke lacrosse team that was accused of raping a woman?  A bunch of civil rights advocates saw a huge story that they can profit from.  The duke lacrosse team were white boys and the woman was a poor black prostitute.  The made the woman out to be a victim and the rich white boys to be the bad guys.  They then used the media to work on people’s emotions and the civil rights advocates profited from it.  How about the minimum wage fight.  People are using the fast food workers as the victims and the restaurants as the bad guys.  Use the media to get people’s emotions worked up by telling stories about how grown adults with children are starving.  Who profits?  Elected leaders do through votes.  The problem is that when we create victims, we create slaves.  We make people out to be helpless and unable to do anything on their own.  They are literally dependent on others.  Also it eliminates any responsibility that the “victim” may have had that caused them to get to where they are.  By eliminating personal responsibility, we eliminate any chance for the person to change, grow, and improve themselves.  They are now victims for life.  This is why the government loves victims.  They know that the “victims” will always vote for them if they act like they care.  Don’t believe me?  Just pay close attention to the election campaigns and see who the candidates go for and how they work on the people’s emotions.  Another problem is that people get hurt.  The “bad guys” turn out to be the true victims.  The Duke lacrosse boys turned out to be victims to those who hate rich white people.  The couple who got accused of not tipping fell victim to those who hate Christians.  The restaurant owners (and all those who work hard and become successful) fall victim to those who hate success.  In order for this to work, you always need hate.  The people who profit from this must feed on peoples hate.  The people who create victims are no better than this waitress.  Take a look at yourself.  Do you create victims?  Do you look at those who choose their lifestyle or their path in life as victims?  Do you look at those that made bad choices as victims?  We all make our own choices and we all have the ability to improve our lives when we mess up.  We have all messed up at one time or another and some of those mess ups affect us the rest of our lives.  But only one person can make things better, that is the person who messed up.  Rather than creating victims, lets encourage people to take a look at what they did wrong and to fix it so they can improve their life.  Lets stop encouraging hate and lets stop hurting people by making them slaves.

Thank you for reading my blog.  Take care and God Bless.

The destruction of morals in America.

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."  - Benjamin Franklin

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  How is everyone doing?  I pray that this blog finds everyone in good health and spirits.  Things are going good at the Jones household.  I got home early Friday mornings and left back out on Saturday.  It was a very productive day at the house though.  I worked to get things set up so that my family was able to stay warm while I am on the road.  I sure can't wait to get a local driving job though so that I can get things done with the house.  The house is in need of some major work and I just don't have the time to do it all.  It really kills me.  The good news is that I may have a job with a company that has an extremely flexible work schedule.  It is a temp company that hires truck drivers and they pay real good.  The person I am talking to at the company really wants to hire me.  I filled out the application and now waiting on her to contact me.

I hear lots of people that complain about the children and young people today and that complain about the government not being honest, making deals with corporations, and doing things that are not moral like the many sex scandals that we hear about.  I remember years ago while sitting at a truck stop, a female truck driving and I was talking about the young people today.  People start getting defensive when I start talking about this topic because guess who I blame for the lack of morals in America today?  Us.  People start out disagreeing with me until I explain why it is all of us that created this mess.

It seems that after we hit a certain age, we forget how we all were born and how we acted at young children.  I am sorry if I destroy anyone's fantasy, but none of us was born with love or morals.  That is correct, we were all born greedy.  It is shocking that anyone who had children wouldn't know this.  No one has to teach a child how to have a tantrum when they don't get their way.  People will talk about a young child giving a hug or a kiss but do they do that because it makes you feel good or because it feels good to them?  I believe it is more because it feels good to them.  Now, this isn't to say that children are terrible.  I do look at my children as angles.  But it is very important to understand human nature and that we are all born with it.  We must understand this in order to understand what it takes to have a moral society.  The good news is that we are all born ABLE to love.  But love has to be taught because we are not born with it.  In fact, we don't even know what love truly is.  We have to be taught what it is.  Don't believe me, go around and ask people what love is.  Of course, you have to know what love it yourself.  Same thing with morals.  How many children under 3 years old knows morals without being taught what morals are?  Honestly.  A funny word to me is the word "Common Courtesy."  Is courtesy common?  Are we born knowing how to be courtesy?  So, how can we show love, be moral, or show courtesy to others or society if we are not taught it?  If we don't remember that we were taught these things, than we don't realize that we must teach our children these things.  Now, most of the responsibility does fall onto parents but we as society are teaching people that children are born loving and to let "children be children."  We are telling government (who is immoral) to take over the raising of children.  We are even using psychology to tell us how to raise our children instead of using knowledge of human nature and our own childhood.  So, we are indeed all to blame.

We are also telling people that it is OK to be greedy.  If you don't have something and you want it, use the federal government to take money from someone else and give it to you.  Yes, I am talking about socialism and communism.  This creates two problems.  It promotes laziness and it also makes it easier for us not to show love to our neighbor.  Without socialism and communism, people would help one another.  Remember, love isn't just a feeling, it is an action.  If you truly love someone, you don't look to someone else to help them, you help them yourself.  Socialism and Communism gets rid of this love.  It is human nature to be selfish and take the easiest way out.  It is much easier to say that you care and let someone else actually do the work to help those in need.  But, being forced to give money to the poor isn't love at all.

Another thing that we accept, is to end human life for our own selfish greed.  Yep, abortion, the morning after pill, and birth control pills.  We justify this by saying, "Well, if a woman doesn't want a baby, she shouldn't have to have it."  Did we forget how babies are made?  We want the gratification of unprotected sex and are willing to end life to have it.  We don't hold guys responsible at all for preventing the female pregnant.  He can have all the sex he wants and doesn't have to worry if she gets pregnant.  Society has left it up to her to either be on birth control pills, take the morning after pill, get an abortion, or raise the child by herself at the expense of the tax payer.  No morals, no responsibility.  Are you wondering why our children and government are the way they are?

It is real simple to me.  Our children learn from us and our elected leaders come from society.  We elect the people who are in office into office and they are going to be an example of what society is.  We can blame TV, Clothes, the Internet all we want but the real problem is us.  There is no way around it my friends.  If we want to change our children or our government, we must change ourselves first.  If we don't, our country will just be another memory in the history of once great countries.

Take care and God Bless.
