This is one of those things that really makes me sick of politics.. This young girl wears a Romney/Ryan shirt to school… She said the teacher compared her to the worst racists in history — the Ku Klux Klan…. This is childish and demeaning… Why is it that politics and religion has to bring the worst out in people… I’m not necessarily a Romney supporter, but it shouldn’t matter who I vote for because each person deserves to have their opinion and vote for who they think would do the best job…

The offending teacher saw the Romney / Ryan shirt “and told her to get out of the classroom, She said no,” Samantha explained on “The Kudlow Report.”…The girls father said the teacher was joking… My guess it must not have sounded like a joke to Samantha… This is one reason I never post who I’m going to vote for… People can get downright mean and hateful when it comes to politics and not voting for who they think we should be smart enough to vote for…

Lately on Facebook, I have seen many hateful and horrible things said about both candidates… And then when you get into a conversation with someone, it seem’s to always come around to why I shouldn’t vote for Obama or Romney… And, OMG, if I were to say Obama, the daggers come out and the tone of voice changes… One of the worst images is where Obama is dressed up as Osama Bin Laden standing in front of the White House… When I see things like this, I think immature…  Or when I see the messages about how stupid or ignorant a person must be if I vote for so and so…

This is one that gets me too… You should vote so your voice can be heard… I do agree with this in most cases… But when it comes to the presidential campaign  it is already decided for Utah, so ,my voice doesn’t count… 4 or 5 people that was elected to decide what I want has already decided that… So case is closed on that… Now when it comes to the Governors race, Senators, Commissioners and such, i do think each persons voice counts…

I felt bad for this 16 year old girl who as ridiculed and humiliated at her school because she wore a shirt for Romney… That shouldn’t happen and those over zealous individuals should just put it to rest and stand up for what you feel is right in an adult and responsible way… OH Wait! That isn’t going to happen when it comes to politics and religion… Sorry I even suggested such a thing… But I’m going to get off this soapbox now…

I was on Facebook the other day and someone made a comment “Cute as Hell”…  I know they didn’t mean it the way I took it… But when I think of the phrase ‘cute as hell”, I don’t think about hell being cute… Actually  when I think of hell, I think of a horrible looking place that I would never want to see or even contemplate being at… When reading the Bible, this is how it is described…

Hell According to the Bible: 

(1) Hell was designed originally for Satan and his demons (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10).

(2) Hell will also punish the sin of those who reject Christ (Matthew 13:41,50; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8).

(3) Hell is conscious torment.

• Matthew 13:50 “furnace of fire…weeping and gnashing of teeth”
• Mark 9:48 “where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched”

Hell is eternal and irreversible.

• Revelation 14:11 “the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever and they have no rest day and night”
• Revelation 20:14 “This is the second death, the lake of fire”
• Revelation 20:15 “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire”
• Revelation 14:10 “he will be tormented with fire and brimstone”

Some people would say that God is loving and would never send anyone to Hell… I also think that God is just and has laid out what will happen… There are many verses in the Bible that are difficult to interpret .. My own views is that no matter what someone thinks Hell would be like, I wouldn’t want to be there… I would never want to be somewhere where  God isn’t present…

I have friends of all faiths and some that have no faith at all… Some think that hell is a out darkness without the pretense of God… Some say that it is a place of tremendous torment and gnashing teeth… Nowhere in my thoughts is it a place that is “cute”... If someone thinks that, they need to have a heavy dose of reality…

I would like to say that peoples views vary greatly… But my thoughts is that your destination and hope lays only in the hands of God… I feel that in order to be saved we must accept and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He alone died for our sins… Without Christ dying on Calvary  we would have no chance at all… There is no way we can live up to the standards that God has set for us… But because Jesus died for our sins and took on our sins, we fall under Grace… Thank God for grace…

 

OK… So here is the lowdown… For all of you that doesn’t already know this, I’m a Phoenix Suns fan… Not a Lakers or a Spurs fan… Those teams give me a bad taste in my mouth… And now that Steve Nash is playing for the Lakers, he is on my trader list… 

My daughter Jessica is the culprit to this rant… She sent me a link to Oriental Trading and they have a whole line of Phoenix Suns party items… So now my brain is whirling around and wanting to do a tip off party… I will even invite Miss Shirley to the party…  The games begin on Weds October 10th… But I’m thinking about this little get together for Friday November 16th… My reasoning is that I want to see the Suns beat the Lakers on their home court… Now if they loose, I may be whining all night long… So they best beat them and wipe the court with them… My thinking for this is all because of Jessica… So thank you Jessica for showing me the link to the Suns Party stuff… Now I have to put it to good use… That is hard to do ya know? 

Now the image below is just not natural… There is no way that Kobe and Nash should be wearing the same team Jersey… Not Cool AT ALL!
