I have been in prayer seeking His TRUTH...and the truth is, it seems easier today to blame God rather than take responsibility for our actions. You know, we push Him away...and then in arrogance we dare ask where He's been when our flawed plan doesn't seem to work.
How do we deal with our evil world? Well, some make the argument that guns don't kill people...people do. While others claim: we don't need a mag with thirty rounds of ammo in an assault weapon. And still others say: we don't need guns at all. Well - whats the truth?
Truth be told - in God's perfect world - you know...the one before the fall of mankind, we truly didn't need guns or any other type of weapon for any purpose. But after the fall, the new wicked and evil mankind invented guns for a single purpose - to displease our loving God. So we fast forward to the present where we discover, displeasing Him is but an understatement!
Evil mankind with black hearts of stone...how sad what we've become!
Evil is contrary to LIVE, and came about as a result of SIN.
An unfortunate actuality in today's world no matter where in it you go, is just how callus we as a nation (without God) have become.
On April 19th, 1995 - Timothy McVeigh didn't use a gun...but he was successful in killing 168 Human Beings, wounding more than 500 others.
On April 20, 1999, in the suburban town of Littleton, Colorado, two high-school seniors, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, enacted an all-out assault on Columbine High School during the middle of the school day. Shooting guns and throwing bombs, the two youngster walked the hallways and killed.
And what about the more recent mass shooting at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado, which left at least twelve people dead and 58 wounded.
And let us not forget about 911 - which claimed three thousand (3000) lives...at least!
Just to name a few!
The amount of crime that goes on in our country and in this world is not in line with light, but with darkness. Not with good, but certainly with EVIL.
Yes...you can take away all the guns, then all the knives, then all the baseball bats and hammers too!!! But not to worry - we will in any event find some way to destroy what God has lovingly created.
Yes - I have been in prayer. But not just for those in Newtown, but also for the world. Praying for - and against all the Bernard O'Hare's, the Ron Angle's, and all the John Stoffa's of the world, whom by their poor evil examples influence the world into a life of corruption with a passion for hate!
Many will say - take away all their guns... Oh yes...ban ban ban - all of their guns. Take away yet another right on our path to becoming a police state!
What they certainly won't say is that we are breeding a violent culture! And they won't say ban the VIOLENT video games that many respected psychologist refer to as a direct cause to the madness we are witnessing in the world. Why not?...because of the money being generated.
They won't say ban the nudity on the TV and the movies which exemplifies immoral behavior. Or the pornography on the Internet that leads to rape and the corruption of our very children. Why not?...because of the money being generated.
Give them condoms says our governing system, we can prevent so much with condoms, instead of promoting good morals and values like abstinence.
It seems they have taken away the parenting rights of the parents, who should be the responsible adults providing (when they feel the time is right) the necessary sexual education that our children require. Just imagine your 13 year old daughter coming home from school with condoms! What's the message the child receives? It's okay to have sex - just make sure it's protected sex.
They relaxed the laws that once prohibited the profane and perverted music on the radio, you know...the new norm in FREEDOM of SPEECH. No, they won't admit that those evil elements have anything to do with the state of affairs in our once great America.
Well, once again ladies and gentlemen of NorCo, I will wear my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on my sleeve, for I am not ashamed of the Gospel, even at the risk of persecution...
...Why? Because He is my Lord - The one for whom nothing is too hard.
I know him to be the shepherd and the door, and is always the good news to the bound and to the poor.
He's the one who saved Gracedale, using followers who with Him on their side would never fail.
He is the righteous one who paid the ultimate price for our transgressions. The Lamb that appeared in the bush for Abraham.
He's the only redeemer - the beginning and the end.
No matter the hardship, no matter the strife...Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
To prove He loves us , He chose to die, and became our best friend, never asking why?
He is the bread, and He is the wine - He is the future that we may leave our past behind.
He is Jehovah, the King of all Kings. He is the Messiah, King David's offspring.
He is the Resurrection, and He is the Christ...who paid for our sins with His very own life.
Let us turn back to Him, that we may receive his gifts of peace and eternal life.
May the true Joy and Peace of Christmas return to us all in this very trying time.
Merry Christmas
RMM
Bless you all and a Blessed Christmas to all people. This was a year of thankfulness in Northampton County. While we mourn the victims of evil in an imnperfect world at least we can know that there are times when people can come together and do something wonderful to help others.
ReplyDeleteThis post is hard to absorb. But deos make many valid points. From my point of view disarming America will only allow opportunities for the terroist of the world to invade our country. Most of the contries of the world understand that our country is armed and prepaed to defend itself against any worldly foe at any point in time. Disarming America is not the answer. A better mentle health program might be a better solution.
ReplyDeleteThis site is actually one of the best blogs for discusion when ohare is not part of the discusion. in my opimion, the u.s. masses have lost 2 many rights as it is and we can understand in many cases why. For example, we can't walk freely through the airports as we once did. We cant walk freely in and out of our schools. I think we get why. But when do we stop taking away rights and start dealing with the problems at hand. Maybe if we stop focusing on banning this or that and focus m0re on the actual casue to any effect we will be more capable of resolving the problems that exist and still be FREE. Just a thought!
ReplyDeleteWHO KNEW THIS?
ReplyDeleteThe Bath School disaster is the name given to a murder and three associated bombings by Andrew Kehoe in Bath Township, Michigan, on May 18, 1927, which killed 38 elementary school children, two teachers, and four other adults and injured at least 58 people. Kehoe first killed his wife, set off two major explosions, and committed suicide with his last (and third) explosion. Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7–14 years of age[1]) attending the Bath Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest mass murder in a school in United States history.[2]
The 55 year old school board treasurer, Andrew Kehoe, was angry after being defeated in the spring 1926 election for township clerk. He was thought to have planned his "murderous revenge" after that public defeat; he had a reputation for difficulty on the school board and in personal dealings. In addition, in June 1926 he was notified that his mortgage was going to be foreclosed. For much of the next year, a neighbor noticed Kehoe had stopped working on his farm and thought he might be planning suicide. During that period, Kehoe carried out steps in his plan to destroy the school and his farm by purchasing and hiding explosives.
Kehoe's wife was ill with tuberculosis, and he had stopped making mortgage payments; he was under pressure for foreclosure. Some time between May 16 and the morning of May 18, 1927, Kehoe murdered his wife by hitting her on the head. On the morning of May 18 about 8:45, he exploded incendiary devices in his house and farm buildings, setting them on fire and destroying them.
Almost simultaneously, an explosion devastated the north wing of the school building, killing many schoolchildren. Kehoe had used a timed detonator to ignite dynamite and hundreds of pounds of incendiary pyrotol, which he had secretly planted inside the school over the course of many months. As rescuers gathered at the school, Kehoe drove up, stopped, and used a rifle to detonate dynamite inside his shrapnel-filled truck, killing himself, the school superintendent, and several others nearby, as well as injuring more bystanders. During rescue efforts at the school, searchers discovered an additional 500 pounds (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and pyrotol connected to a timing device set for the same time as the first explosions; the material was hidden throughout the basement of the south wing. Kehoe had apparently intended to blow up and destroy the entire school.

ReplyDeleteThe government is filled with killers.
We just removed two derogatory comments from BO - Stay off our blog.
ReplyDeleteLet the Hairy One comment! It's fun to answer him and he gets SO MAD.
ReplyDeleteMr. O'Hares appears to be claiming that his lawsuit will shut down this blog and make his the only politcal news blog about Northampton County. Is that true? He wants to slence all who disagree with him.
ReplyDeleteIf you need donations for lawyer fees please let the community know, he is making these threats on his blog. We don't want "Saving Private Gracedale" to disappear.
The lawsuit was reported in the express times on
Deleteoctober 3 SO FAR NO LAW SUIT COME ON BO WE ARE WAITING FOR IT . 3 months and no suit. what is taking him so long? could it be that he does not want to testify in court, because the truth will come out? as i said before we are waiting. in a few more days it will be 4 months no suit, all brag no facts.
He claims the court will allow him to get the "Fake Rev" Mr. Delasandrro and others. He wnats to use Mezzacappa's words as a way to get at the COAF and even political leaderts he and Angle want to hurt. He wants to shut your blog and organization down through intimidation.
ReplyDeleteHe has no real case against you folks but at least be prepared.
The judge will no doubt limit what he is allowed to do in disovery. Rememebr this is not about him being "defamed", this is about revenge and O'Hare wanting any and all who comment to be identified so he can attcak them in public.
Actually if you read his own words, I beleive Rev. M has a slander case agaisnt O'Hare. Being called a "fake" reverand cannot be very good for ones reputation when preaching the word of the Lord.
Vengence is mine sayeth the Lord, it does not belong to O'Hare.
4 Months and no suit yet, he knows we get our chance too I do not think our lawyer will not pass up the chance to chalange him. BRING IT ON.....
DeleteThis is the thrid time he is going to file a lawsuit. None yet why?
DeleteHO HO HO, AND MEEEEEERRRY CHRISTMAS!
ReplyDeleteSanta has arrived on Ridge Street in West Easton with a stocking full of tax returns. They belong to Angle and O'Hare.
Folks, have no fear, this is going to be an explosive and joyous ride through discovery.
I am well, and geared up for the phenominal trip ahead. I have packed all my goodies and supplies, and am ready to go full throttle against the king of hate.
Again, have no fear. He wont be entitled to a goose chase.
If he tries, I'll have to swat his nose with a rolled up newspaper, no ammo of course!
Cheers!
And happy new year. Its going to be a juicey one!
I am sorry a so well written post has degenerated like this with the most recent comments.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of opportunities to bash O'Hare - can't this post stand as one opportunity to think and reflect?
Rev. Martinez, please take control.
I agree with anon 3:51 but this post mentioned hate and rage and that is a reality right here. This blog came about in response to lies and hate and to prevent a great injustcie.
ReplyDeleteThe person bo is a main reason. He has clearly stated that he is out to get the leaders of COAF and this blog. That is something many of us fear. Do you want the O'Hare hate blog to be the only source of your information about the county?
We should not just be bashing O'Hare but we cannot afford to ignore his threats. He has Angle money, an attorney and an agenda and that agenda is to close down this blog.
So as I think and reflect, I agree there are many. many more imporetant things in life than "bashing O'Hare" but as we move forward we must do so with our eyes wide open.
Remember Gracedale, never again!
There will always be a way. The truth about these people who lied and cheated to shut down Gracedale has been the shot heard heard around the County.
ReplyDeleteNothing will ever break-up COAF.
