Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Supporting Death

How do you defeat a presidential candidate who openly distorts the truth and gets away with it because of his charisma?  How can you run against him when he has twice the money to spend on false advertising because of his backing by Hollywood, TV stars, abortion supporters, the homosexual lobby, other special interest groups, and the national media?  What recourse do you have when it is not possible to refute publicly his distortions because the media is in his pocket?  Today I heard of another sad case of this distortion of the truth.  On Christian radio, several folks shed light on Obama's radical stance on abortion, detailing how he's voted multiple times against born-alive infant protection acts — even when such legislation was supported by the majority of his Democratic colleagues.   In 2001, he argued that he thought this born-alive infant protection act would overturn Roe v. Wade, and he voted against it in committee. He went on to be the sole senator to speak against it on the senate floor two years in a row.  Over the course of three years, he voted against this bill four times.   Effectively, he voted to prohibit to withhold critical treatment from any child born after a botched abortion test if the child had any physical disabilities.  This is the same Obama who even voted against the partial birth abortion ban.  Now, to make it worse, he claims - even in the debate - that he would never vote to withhold such medical treatment.  That is a lie,  the public records show otherwise.  Then, he supports negative ads which chastise McKain for daring to even bring up such a matter.  This is the same candidate who has promised to eliminate any restrictions on abortion, promote homosexual rights, and fight any attempts to define marriage as being between two adults of different sex.   There is much more I could say, but that is plenty for you to think about today.    His is a sick ultra liberal agenda and it appears that this country is now going to elect such a man.  I guess America may get what we deserve.  We have turned our backs on God as a country and now we - including many Christians - are being deceived by charisma.  How do we defeat this?  Pray and vote.
