  • Deuteronomy 13:15-18
  • Joshua 6:21
  • Joshua 10:28-37

Maybe ditching the television isn’t so extreme compared to these commands and events from The Old Testament.

EARLY FALL OF 1994

“We’ve got a situation here.”  –words from a Christian who didn’t exactly have the best intentions

  • Christians & “the world’s biggest something.”

Nightmares For Republicans & Geena Davis

DO ANNIVERSARIES MATTER?

After 2026, the 100th anniversary of the late 1920’s

  • The late 1920’s:  DEBT
  • Followed by five consecutive victories for the Democrats during the presidential elections…until 1952.

Can you imagine five consecutive presidential victories for the Democrats in the near future…five consecutive terms of Democrats in the White House?  Can you imagine the horror for our country?

 

MY TOP COINCIDENCE INVOLVING ANNIVERSARIES FROM TWO YEARS AGO…

Hugh Hefner’s 25 year-old fiancee second-guessing their wedding in 2011…25 years after the nightmare birthing scene from the 1986 remake of a movie based on a short story published in Hefner’s magazine.

Five consecutive terms of Democrats in the White House in the near future.  Something to think about for Republican lawmakers intent on unending tax cuts for the super-rich while the national debt is climbing towards $40 trillion.  Sweet dreams, people.  Sweet dreams.

Proverbs 29:14

“Let’s keep going.”  –Geena Davis
