"Duck, 'n cover!" These words were used to scare us into believing there was a real danger of a nuclear blast in our area. We were told by newspapers that our area was a target, in fact the front page was filled with 6,000 miles of range for ICBM's from koo-bah or some other such place.

Well the real danger, it turns out, was in disarming ourselves. Gunfights in the old west always had at least 2 six shooters, one on each side of town. Turns out that didn't happen much either. The threat of death was always greater than the actual turn of events.

So now, in the name of humanity, we are slowly disarming America. Protection is guaranteed by the 'organization' back east that can't protect little children world-wide of trafficing, can't protect 3rd world Christians of persecution, can't prevent rogue countries from get nukes and can't stop spending money unwisely. I'm just not going trick or treating for them like I did when I was a kid. Not gonna happen.

In the end, though, we knew this would happen. Any organization that claims it can reign in terror world wide is just fooling us and the horse we rode in on. When will we wake up? Never.

I'm ba-a-ack!

There is only one race, but many races. The human race is the only race God concerns Himself with. The Bible is a doctrinal (teaching) statement about the tri-unity and salvation of the humans he created. He created us with a free will, that is, we choose Him or we choose death. It really is not a hard choice. Who among us does not want eternal life with the Creator?

Once that choice is made, then come the races. Humans race toward many THINGS. Usually money, sex (the heavy kind), or creature comforts. The true minority race toward a higher calling. If it is of God, that race will be a genuine return of love from man to God. It does not involve works, good or bad and does not merit a single THING in heavenly rewards. Look, do you love your mate totally to get someTHING out of them?

Jesus Christ died on the Cross to merit heaven for you. It is a finished work by Himself through Himself. Religion tries to go around that and make it a race for self profit. Christianity is centered all around Christ and His giving of Himself in love for the human race, it's true, He loves us that much! Then the Christian life becomes a race for the goal of loving Him back. Telling others of His love and His works for us becomes the joyous joy there can ever be, even if it means getting in the way of obtaining THINGS. Think about it. Read the Gospel of John which is full of grace and truth, then Ephesians. You will see His object of love is the one race - you 'n me.
