Right & Wrong

I am a bit perplexed by the current sensation that seems to be sweeping the country and world for that matter. I see that it has become popular for people to use the rainbow as a symbol of the alternative life style. It has found its way into the Face Book realm and other areas of life. Posting the rainbow behind your picture and the like to symbolize this choice of behavior. One more time I see that Lucifer is about his normal tricks of calling good evil and evil good. I was raised with a belief in the bible and my understanding has always been and still is, that the "bow" was placed in the sky as a symbol and reminder of the covenant between God and Noah and all of mankind that the earth would never again be flooded. Now we see that it has become a symbol of Sodom and Gomorrah. Old scratch is at his twisting matters and terms again. Gay was a term of happiness and enjoyment and laughter when I was young, now it is a symbol of Sodom and Gomorrah, will he ever stop trying to twist and confuse truth and reason? NO!! It has been that way from before the foundations of this world and will ever be so. To our joy and happiness though he will be bound and cast out to an area where he can never tempt the souls of man again. He will be left with his minions to their misery and sadness, alone and detached from the light of celestial beings.
No matter what man or his wicked judges and lawyers do, Gods laws will stand immovable and steadfast as eternal laws can not be broken without the repercussion that comes from that irrevocable decree.
I pray each day that the coming of our Lord and Savior might be hastened, that he might come quickly, that this earth might once again receive its paradisaical glory.

I am so thankful for the gospel and for the blessing it is in my life and the rock of stability that is provided through an understanding of it and faith in it and in my Savior and my Eternal Father.

The bow is a symbol of a covenant between God and man and I refuse to let others cloud my understanding and faith in this!!

Holidays

I am not a fan of the early holiday blitz.  Before Halloween was here we had Christmas music being played on radio stations, displays and merchandise for sale in stores, adds and hype from the media.  I love Christmas and the holiday season!  I also think that we are by nature not a very thankful or grateful people.  Thanksgiving seems to be just a blip on the calendar and an excuse for big shopping days and more store and media hype.  We need to be more thankful and spend some time in this hustle and bustle of life to acknowledge the source of our great blessings.  That is from our Heavenly Father.  We also need to let our families and friends know just how much we appreciate them and how thankful we are for their love and support and strength in our lives.  Let us not get so mixed up in the ways of the marketing world.  Stop and pay attention to what we are truly blessed with and what matters most in our life.  I for one am thankful for the love and support of my Father in Heaven and for the most wonderful wife and best friend in the world.  I also have the 4 best children that a father could be blessed with and with an extended family that is simply awesome.  A home and a job that provide safety and the necessities of life.  The blessing and opportunity to live in the greatest country on earth and in a state that supports and allows me to worship how where and what I may.
These are just a few of the things that I am giving THANKS for at this time and season of the year.
