Liberals And Coņservatives Are Welcome
It doesn't matter if you live a liberal lifestyle, a conservative lifestyle, or something in between. The libertarian party is the only party that welcomes all lifestyles and gives you the right to live it.

Why I am a libertarian
In this video blog, I explain why I am a libertarian and why the libertarian foundation aligns with my Christian faith. I want to make it clear that the libertarian party doesn't endorse or cater to one religion. But just as the Constition is for all religions and aligns with the Christian faith, so does the libertarian platform.

Kim Davis And Homosexual Marriage
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A lot of national attention has been given to Kim Davis and her refusal to issue marriage license to homosexual which led to her being put in jail. As a Christian, I applaud her for following God when it comes to not supporting homosexuality, but she didn't follow God's word in the way she handled this. I explain in this video blog and I also talk about what America should do when it comes to marriage.

Not My Country, Not My Government
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 in the Jones household. We are doing better financially but still have a lot of work to get to where we once were. It is amazing how far behind you can get in just a few years. It is just another reason why I must remain with CRST until I retire. But once we get caught up we can't stop. One reason we got into the mess we did is because I have been a poor steward of the money God has given us. I must start saving money once we get the bills paid.
There is something that is bothering me a lot. I hate the direction this country is going. And I am not talking about the fact that we are now an Oligarchy and no longer a Republic. If the people want an Oligarchy and put their faith in a human government, OK. What bothers me is how this country has become so hateful and selfish. How can I love something so hateful? Doing so would go against God. How can I pledge allegiance to any country that hates? How can I fly a flag represents a country that hates God and God's greatest creation? I can't.
In recent years, my eyes have been opened to just how hateful this country is. People are being forced to go against their beliefs and pay for abortion causing pills, Christian companies are taken to court because they refuse to run their business contrary to their belief, and government keeps tying the hands of non-profit organizations that try to help others. Some will say that we just need to change government, it is the government doing this. Well, here is the problem, who elects those in power? The people in power didn't just get there by magic. They were elected by the people. It is the people who want this. And here is what really woke me up. In recent weeks we have seen several videos that showed Planned Parenthood aborting babies and selling human organs and body parts. They even went as far as doing partial birth abortions and turning the baby around to protect the organs they needed. In the videos they even mention human organs, not tissue masses. No doubt that what they were killing and selling wasn't human. What was the reaction from the American people? Maybe a whisper. And it isn't just that the media that isn't reporting it. Take a look at the number of signatures on petitions to defund Planned Parenthood, what is trending on social media, and I bet you that the politicians that support funding Planned Parenthood will still get lots of votes. The American people support ending human life. Now lets take a look at a lions life. Cecil the lion was killed by a trophy hunter. Now, I am against trophy hunting. Not because I care about animals, but because I believe we should be good stewards over what God gives us. If you are not killing an animal for food, clothes, or defending humans or property, you shouldn't kill the animal. But when I see the Americans reaction to the killing of a lion, I am amazed. Not just on the news, but on Social Media and petitions. The number of people outraged over the killing of a lion far outnumber the people outraged over the killing and selling of human life. There are people who even say that humans who trophy hunt should be hunted and killed or injured. They love animals more than humans. The American people have spoken loud and clear. I can't support in any way shape or form hatred towards God's greatest creation. I can't support people, organizations, or countries that go against God. I can't support America. This isn't my country. I am a man without a country on this earth and will be until the return of my Lord.
Take care and God Bless,

A Lawless People, A Lawless Government, A Lawless Society
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. Everything is going good out here on the road. Orientation class went smooth and so did lead driver class. I have now been on the road for a week as a lead driver. Well, I don't have a student yet, but should have one in a couple of days. Actually, they do have one assigned to me, I just have to be routed by San Antonio, TX to pick him up. I am currently in Laredo, TX waiting on another load and getting some much needed rest. I have been running pretty good as a solo driver and have been given a brand new 2015 Freightliner Cascadia.
What I want to blog about today is lawlessness. Society today tells us that lawlessness is good and promotes lawlessness. We see it in our elected officials, on immigration, and we see people look at criminals as good guys and criminalize police officers. We can look at history and the Bible and see that this is bad for our country and society. The fact is that no lawless society can remain free. The founding fathers have said that a government is a necessary evil for this very reason. Without government and law, people can never be free. The Bible tells us that unless government makes a law that goes against God, we must follow government law (Acts 5:27-29, Romans 13:1-14). But in the United States, government also has a law it must follow too, doesn't it? That law is the Constitution and it is the law of the land. So it boggles my mind as to why people love lawlessness. Why do we want to reward those who break the law? Why do we re-elect people who break the law? Why do we side with criminals and tie the hands of law enforcement officers? Why do we let people get away with lying and cheating? Is it human nature? Should we just get rid of all laws and let everyone protect their own homes and family? Where is the freedom in that? If we are to remain a free society, we must really rethink things. If we disagree with a law or with the Constitution, we should work to change it in the proper way, and it is OK to speak out against a law. But until it is changed, we must follow the law ... unless a particular law goes against God. Lets stop promoting lawlessness and lets stop supporting those (elected, immigrants, and criminals) who break the law.
I pray that this blog has been a blessing to you. Take care and God Bless.

And The New Job Begins
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Creator, Jesus Christ. How is everyone doing? I pray that this blog finds everyone in good health and spirits. Things are going on schedule here. Friday was my last day at Ball Pipe and Supply and I start orientation class at CRST tomorrow. This made for a very busy Saturday. Today we went to church and then my wife dropped me off at a hotel in Oklahoma City so that I can be at the CRST Oklahoma Terminal tomorrow morning. I will be staying at the hotel this week while attending orientation and the lead driver class. By Friday I will be in my truck and have my first student. It is bitter sweet. I don't like the idea of being away from my family again but on the other hand, the money will be good and I have to admit, I do like driving OTR and teaching new drivers. It is in my blood. The big reason for doing this is that I hate not being able to provide for my family. It drives me nuts to see my family not being able to get what we need. It drives me nuts to see vehicles breaking down and not being able to fix them. It drives me nuts to see our house falling apart and not being able to fix it. I also don't like having to depend on the government to provide for my family. I get very short tempered and upset when I don't have the money to take care of my family and our needs. I have driven trucks for over 12 years and have a pretty good record. There is no reason that I can't take care of my family. That is the main reason I must do this. That is also why my wife and I knows that this is the job I must retire from. I must drive OTR for at least 20 more years. If CRST is as good as they were when I first drove for them, I will retire with them. My goal is to bring home at least $1000 a week when I work the whole week.
I know not everyone is on board with me doing this. They want me to be home with my wife and kids. But what good is being home when I can't provide for them? Things are getting more expensive, not less. Oil fields are not dependable employment. The scrap metal industry doesn't pay good. I need something that pays real good and is dependable. OTR is both because very few people is able and willing to do it and, as long as people need items, truck drivers are needed.
Well, I have to be up early tomorrow and I have to be well rested. So, I will go ahead and end this blog. I am planning to blog a lot more now that I am back on the road. I have a lot of things to blog about and have gotten far behind. Y'all take care and God Bless.
Love,
The Oklahoma Tomcat
