The definition of the word "conundrum" is something that is puzzling or confusing.

Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:

America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:


1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.

Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering...

2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money! What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.

3. Think about it.....and Last but definitely not Least : . Why are we cutting benefits to our veterans, no pay raises for our military, and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII.......

but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to i*****l a***ns.

Am I the only one missing something?

"If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." – Plato

Many Christians assume that if God really loves us, he will fill our lives with good feelings, satisfied desires and things that make us happy. That may be a common assumption, but it certainly isn’t what God told us he’d do. The Bible is clear that for now, because we live in a fallen world, function in fallen bodies and interact with fallen people, we will experience a life of difficulty. Yes, God loves us (so much so that he was willing to provide for our forgiveness by punishing his Son as though he was the sinner we are), but he has delayed his ultimate blessings until we are done drafting the rest of his yet-to-be enlisted followers. Our goal is to maintain our faith, hope and love until the job is done.

In the meantime, Jesus reminds us that “No servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also” (Jn.15:20). Jesus experienced both, and so will we. Unfortunately, more people rejected, disdained and h**ed Christ than rightly responded to his call to be reconciled to God. But some did obey his teaching, and occasionally with us they do also. There are those choice few who hear us out, repent of their sin and trust in Christ – which makes all the opposition worth it.

So, when things in this sinful world make your life hard, know that it was the same for God’s beloved Son. We certainly can’t expect our earthly experience to be any better than the King of kings. But remember that just as Jesus finished his race and entered the perfection of “paradise”, we will too. When our job is done, the love of God will be manifest in uninterrupted good feelings, satisfaction and happiness.

Maranatha!

We are constantly told the world is heating up due to Carbon Dioxide!

The atmosphere is like water if you drop a brick in a pool it sinks, if you drop a cork in the pool it floats!
If you took science in school you understand mass and density.

So, you should know that our atmosphere is 21% Oxygen and 78% Nitrogen. That leaves 1% which is Argon, neon, krypton, methane, and Carbon Dioxide, not much room for all the CO2 we keep hearing about!
Few know that CO2 is just 0.04% of our atmosphere! You should be asking HOW CAN THAT BE?

Well, Oxygen has an atomic weight of 16 and Nitrogen has an atomic weight of 15, while CO2 has an atomic weight of 42! It's 3 times as heavy as 98% of air, so it sinks to the ground, will flow down, and well's or any low place. It can not get into the upper atmosphere to cause heat from the sun to cause warming of our planet, it's too heavy!

Water loves Carbon Dioxide, water sucks up CO2 like a sponge. When it rains any amount in the air is sucked up and ends up in rivers, lakes, and in the Ocean. In the ocean, down a mile or so the pressure turns Carbon Dioxide into a solid called Methane Hydrate.

If you doubt any of what I write here you can Google it or ask your smartphone to see if it's all true.
There are people who want to trick you into believing lies for their gain!
