This posting has nothing to do with modern Christianity. At least, I don’t think so. This is just a stupid thing that made me scratch my head in wonderment.
Sometimes dreams are just irritating and mess up my night’s rest. Sometimes they’re very curious and cause me to mull them over the day after (that is, if I remember the details). Last night was one such occasion.
In my dream I became aware that I had a whole empty bedroom full of cosmetics and all sorts of beauty and bath products. It looked like I had looted an Avon lady or something. I got to going through it and saying, “What was I thinking!? Why do I need all this STUFF!?” I told my husband that we needed to have a garage sale right away to move this mess out of the bedroom as it was taking up space that could be put to better use. Also, there was no way I could use it all and it would go to waste. He got the word out that I was having a garage sale to move these things. Subsequently, I’m contacted by someone else I can’t recall who told me that I had all sorts of household possessions (both appliances, home décor items, etc.) that HAD to be moved out of this warehouse immediately because they had a need for that space. I had to have everything gone by the next day. This presented me with a dilemma. I was having to run both of these events on the same day. I tried to cancel the garage sale I had planned earlier, but realized I had already advertised it, so I had to do both.
I didn’t recall what I was supposed to have had stored in the warehouse. I thought I would do a walk-through to examine the contents. I recognized none of it as being my own. I didn’t recall buying it, inheriting it, or just how I came to own it. Some of it was very attractive and some of it I could have cared less about. The first area of the warehouse I walked into was roughly the size of a mom and pop grocery store with high ceilings. Everything was neatly displayed and went from the floor to the ceiling. I said, “Wow! Where did I get all this stuff!?” The person told me to wait a minute; that that wasn’t all of it. There were rooms both to the left and right of me full of all MY STUFF. I was dumbfounded. I started being attracted to some of it and made a mental note to keep certain things for myself. I walked back into the main area and a lady wanted my attention. There was a large but rather worn-looking dining table there and she asked me who much I wanted for it. I had no clue what to tell her because I didn’t recognize it as belonging to me. I told her that I didn’t know, but to make me an offer. She offered me $250 and I took it. She was overjoyed and acted as if she had just gotten the best of me because she had priced one similar elsewhere for $520. I didn’t really care, but was happy that I had moved that piece of furniture.
Yeah, I know this is a stupid post. However, it could mean something, so I thought I would toss it to any of you who fancy yourselves able to interpret dreams. I thought some of you might give me your take on it or accuse me of smoking left-handed cigarettes. HA!
Love Ya,
God Bless!

Political Correctness Is Evil
I've said many times that I am not politically correct and don't care to be. I make a point not to keep it a secret and don't particularly care how anyone else feels about it. As it turns out, my instincts have been proven correct; that I should call things as I see them. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying not to incorporate tact. That's an art acquired with practice.
I used to think political correctness was merely stupid and annoying. Now I have come to realize it has a very sinister agenda attached to it. Marxist father, Georg Luckas (no, not Mr. Star Wars) taught his followers to incorporate it as a tool against both civil and religious America to provoke it in a socialist/communist direction. It also begets a postmodernism mindset. Like the deadly ebola virus, our nation is already in its clutches. Don't believe me? Let me shore up my opinion with the following points:
* It all starts with the indoctrination of children. Make them praise-addicted. Never critique anything they do, no matter how gently you might deliver the constructive criticism. Don't give real grades. Don't help them discover their strengths and weaknesses. Tell them everything they do is fantastic even if it isn't and you know they're capable of much better. Congratulations! You just created an egocentric individual.
* Ask a young person, teen or adult, a hypothetical question. Ask them for a proper, moral solution to the proposed dilemma. While there can be and are exceptions to the rule, many young people will either give you a situational ethics answer or complete silence. The silence would signify that the young person feels it's wrong to express moral absolutes. What you're seeing and not hearing is postmodernism's hold on that person. R. Scott Smith said, "In a postmodern world there is no objective, universal truth. Indeed, all is relative."
Postmodernism tears apart doctrine and absolute moral laws. Every person gets to decide for himself or herself what THEIR own definition of what's moral or immoral is.
Postmoderism considers Christianity harsh, intolerant, and judgmental. They consider Christians to be stupid, superstitious knuckle-draggers.
* Political correctness leads to mediocrity and kills intellectual creativity. How many movie sequels can you name off the top of your head? When and if you do watch television or movies, do you find the scripts as unflavorful and lame as a rice cake? That happens when people become lazy and refuse to THINK. This goes back to the kid thing--not trying to polish their strengths and help them to excel (I do watch television, but not much of it. It bores me if it's not scary or funny).
* A socialist/communist or dictatorship/totalitarian regime will seek to control America's highest producers by confiscating the fruits of their labor, relegating them to a life of servitude, and redistributing it to those who believe they shouldn't have to work for a living. It is not, nor should it ever be, the government's job to babysit and spoon-feel such people. The private sector which is comprised of intelligent and wealthy individuals, is responsible for the employment of millions of American citizens, present company included. When the best and brightest are squelched, so is their ability to produce, grow larger, and hire more. Unfair redistribution will put the final nail in industry's coffin.
This same mindset will also seek to abolish American democracy's First and Second Amendment rights. You can't say what you please because you might offend someone; and I believe that the real agenda of gun control supporters is to eventually be able to exert total, malicious governmental control over us and they don't want us to be able to defend ourselves.
Brave service personnel have fought and died over the centuries so that you and I could enjoy our precious freedoms. Freedom allows each individual dignity and is made up of beliefs and values that bring about a just, moral, and beneficient society. Anything less is substandard and produces extreme depravity (Rom. 1:18- 21; 24-32).
Friends, be on guard and stand up for your beliefs (Rom. 1:16). Call evil by its name when you see it (Mt. 7:15-19; 1 Thess. 5:21). Speaking for myself, I'll be mule-headedly clinging to my guns and my Bible. Peace out.
Love ya,
God Bless!
