However, there are those times that you simply do not have anything you really want to say at least nothing you want to write about in great detail. This is one of those times. Many things are going through my head but probably nothing worth writing on that I have not already written about.\u00a0 Therefore, I am posting without any rhyme or reason and even I do not know what I am going to say today.<\/p>\n<p>I hope all the people in Washington that hate global warming enjoy their snowstorm this weekend. Many of you politicians might move to another country and save us a lot of grief.<\/p>\n<p>Looks like I will soon be buying some acreage in the middle of nowhere. I already have 20 acres in the middle of nowhere but <strong>I can see four lights at night. That is four lights too many for me<\/strong>. Another problem here is the house. In the Ozarks there are no building codes and the houses are usually built by handymen without plans and the houses turn out to be kind of weird. Actually some not so handy men build very weird houses around here. I live in a fairly weird house built by one of the above but I would now like to get my own not so weird house built where I can actually sit on the deck and have a view off the deck and not see any trace of humans or hear vehicles on some road. A house with big windows would also be nice so I can look out the window while writing these blogs without any rhyme or reason.<\/p>\n<p>One of the issues I will have building on this remote property is that the nearest power line is 3\/8 of a mile to as much as 3\/4 of a mile from where I might want to build on the new property. The other problem will be keeping the road passable year around for the same distance. It goes down and up a big hill. It probably would make sense to go off grid rather than pay the cost of bringing in a power line but here in the Ozarks sometimes you do not see the sun for a week. Wind does not seem like an option either because we either get a lot of wind or hardly any wind at all.\u00a0 I thought of fuel cells but the price of that technology is still way to expensive and so it seems out of the question. <strong>Any suggestions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I found out this week that my first dog (Sparky &#8211; terror mix) has bone cancer. She has been a great dog and will be missed when we have to put her to sleep but right now she is in no pain and is living on sweet breakfast cereal and cookies since sweets are the only thing she will now eat. She certainly will not be around to see the Rapture coming before 2012. I don&#8217;t think my second dog Bubba will make the 2012 deadline either since he is a big dog and he is already over 11.\u00a0 <strong>I believe the great prophecy teacher Jack Van Impe said that your pets will go in the rapture<\/strong> so it just has to be true. Right? So there is hope for my other four dogs.<\/p>\n<p>Now a little about the economic recovery that is being hyped. <strong>Hahahahahahahahaha.<\/strong> Seriously, they obviously are reading tea leaves and are not reading what I am reading.\u00a0 The other shoe will fall on their stupid heads fairly soon. Wait to you see the number of property defaults coming this fall. How does government come up with the $1.5 trillion that will be necessary this year to pay for their previous government binges and also pay the 2 trillion budget shortfall projected this year? Simple. <strong>They just print $2 trillion <\/strong>of the 3.5 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Think of the implications of governments printing and paying their debts with monopoly money.\u00a0 There are only two reason why foreigners are still holding on to U. S. Treasuries (they are not buying them any more). They know if they suddenly start selling there will be a panic and they will lose their butt before they can get rid of all the dollars they hold. The other reason is that countries like Japan, Britain, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, etc. are in worse debt shape then we are. The reason there is a rally in the dollar right now it that some nations are in real danger of going into default this year. That is a recipe for a world depression but who knows if the world power brokers want a depression followed by a world war to bring in a world currency or world hyperinflation and civil upheavals? Honest people disagree on how this will play out. But there is no possible way to ever pay off the debt with dollars valued at anything near what they are worth today.<\/p>\n<p>I read a good article today about how almost all Christians in America are<a title=\"infected with the prosperity gospel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/theologian-most-christians-infected-with-prosperity-gospel-43604\/\"> <strong>infected with the prosperity gospel.<\/strong><\/a> The last thing in the mind of Western Christians is suffering or sacrifice for the sake of the gospel. Western Christianity promises people abundant living in the flesh. Even most of those that tithe in the West hold God accountable to give them riches in the flesh because in their mind there is some kind of spiritual law that gives them worldly riches if they give ten percent.<\/p>\n<p>I heard that Obama&#8217;s speech at the national prayer breakfast was so inspirational that everyone probably hopes he will never show up again. You can search for his speech on Google yourself. He never did mention Christ at the prayer breakfast but we already know why that could not happen.<\/p>\n<p>I also read the usual on Iran and what we will or will not do about them. No experts seem to agree. This one writer I read argued that Israel will soon threaten to use nukes to take out Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities in order to force the U.S. to take them out conventionally. Who knows? My guess is that we will do nothing unless someone is attacked.<\/p>\n<p>I also read about global warming and what a farce it is but nothing is new there except the continuing revelations about certain people cherry picking data so it will please the global warming taskmasters.<\/p>\n<p>I read an excellent article written by Dr. Norm Geisler and Dr. Ron Rhodes chiding the Christian Research Institute (CRI) and <strong><a title=\"Hanegraaff supporting a cult of Christianity\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apologeticsindex.org\/375-hank-hanegraaff-support-the-local-church\">Hank Hanegraaff for supporting a cult of Christianity<\/a><\/strong> called the Local Church (LC) movement (aka. The Lord&#8217;s Recovery and Living Stream Ministries) in a court lawsuit against counter-cult ministries. Apparently John Ankerburg\u00a0 and John Weldon labeled the LC movement as a cult in their <em>Encyclopedia of Cults and New Religions<\/em> so the LC movement sued them and Harvest House for over a hundred million bucks. The LC movement lost the lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Texas. This is not the first time that Hanagraaff&#8217;s actions and theological positions have been questioned by his peers and other notable Christian theologians.<\/p>\n<p>In the\u00a0 article that you can find below Dr. Geisler and Dr. Ron Rhodes rightly question Hank Hanegraaff\u00a0 and CRI for defending the LC movement in a civilian court and for Hanegraff&#8217;s position that the LC movement is orthodox when as they point out in the article the LC theology is not within Christian Orthodoxy.\u00a0 <strong>Seems the LC movement has a very unorthodox view of the Trinity and thinks all denominations are apostate but Hank Hanegraaff was supporting the movement in court calling the LC movement solidly orthodox.<\/strong> You will find the rather long article written by Dr. Geisler and Dr. Rhodes that explains the aberrant doctrines of the LC movement and CRI&#8217;s inconsistent positions on the LC movement on Dr. Geislers website under &#8220;articles&#8221;. It is the first article on his list at the time of this writing.
