Pit Bulll

My Pondering

I am glad yours is all that because I know of a young man was mauled by three Pit bulls in his own place. Apparently two of them were fighting each other so he tried to break them up and then all three attacked him. The dogs he fed and cared for did that.

He barely survived and was severely injured. If he wouldn’t have been a strong 20 some year old man, he may have not survived. He was severely injured and was unable to work for months. These animals were not mistreated but they exhibited a wild pack like behavior. Anyhow, that is how it was described to me.

Creation: trees rings / finger prints.

My Pondering

Yes. We both have a physical presence. God created us both from simialar genetic material, both from the dirt. We are created by the same Creator BUT we humans were created especially in God’s image with a mind, body and soul. We are multidimensional transcendent beings. Tree are not.

Let’s always worship the Creator and appreciate His creation and never confuse the two as humans are prone to.

Moments to memories

Moments to Memories

Let’s make the most of our present circumstance and not dwell on imperfections, especially the ones we have little to no control. Having an ‘attitude of gratitude’ is a choice. It takes conscience effort to think positive, claim joy and just be content and happy.

Let’s make the most of current moment in time for it’s called the present for a reason, time is a gift indeed. Yes, I shall make the very most of the moment!

the world and those who dwell therein.”

Select Commentary


The earth is the Lord’s – The whole world belongs to God. He is the Creator of the earth, and therefore, its Proprietor; or, in other words, “the property vests in him.” It belongs to Him in a sense somewhat similar to our right of property in anything that is the production of our hands, or of our labor or skill. We claim that as our own. We feel that we have a right to use it, or to dispose of it, as we choose. No other person has a right to take it from us, or to dictate to us how we shall employ it. Thus, God, in the highest possible sense, has a right to the earth, and to all which it produces, as being all of it the creation of His hands, and the fruit of His culture and skill. He has a right to dispose of it as He pleases; by fire, or flood, or tempest; and He has an equal right to direct man in what way He shall employ that portion of the productions of the earth which may be entrusted to Him. All the right which any person has to any portion of the earth’s surface, or to what is treasured up in the earth, or to what it is made to produce, is subordinate to the claims of God, and all should be yielded up at His bidding, whether He comes and claims it to be employed in His service, or whether He comes and sweeps it away by fire or flood; by the locust, or by the palmer-worm.
And the fulness thereof – All which it contains; everything which goes to “fill up” the world: animals, minerals, vegetables, people. All belong to God, and He has a right to claim them for His service, and to dispose of them as He pleases. This very language, so noble, so true, and so suitable to be made conspicuous in the eyes of human beings, I saw inscribed in a place where it seemed to be most appropriate, and most adapted to arrest and direct the thoughts of men – on the front of the Royal Exchange in London. It was well to remind the great merchants of the largest commercial city in the world of the truth which it contains; it does much to describe the character of the British nation that it should be inscribed in a place so conspicuous, and, as it were, on the wealth of that great capital.

The world – The word used here – תבל têbêl – is a poetic word, referring to the earth considered as fertile and inhabited – the “habitable” globe; the same as the Greek, οἰκουμένη oikoumenē.

And they that dwell therein – All the inhabitants of the earth, embracing men and animals of all kinds. Compare Psalm 50:10-11. God has a claim on people – upon their services, upon their talents, upon all that they can acquire by labor and skill; He has a right to all that fly in the air, or that walk the earth, or that swim in the sea. On the occasion on which it is supposed that this psalm was written, in bringing up the ark of God, and placing it in the tabernacle provided for it in the capital of the nation, no sentiment could be more appropriate than that which would recognize the universal supremacy of God

Barnes’ Notes on the Bible

My Pondering

I am fully persuaded that if one gets this paradigm right, then we may see the big picture of a BIG God in operation, along with our purpose and role in life; generally and specifically of our existence and ultimately our destiny.

If one gets this fundamental worldview wrong, we are likely operating counter-intuitive to nature and more importantly counter to the Creator. This inevitably leads to an improper elevation and devaluation of self and more importantly: God.

God is the definer of everything including gender.

God defines Himself, as He does everything. As the Creator, the one and only ‘big G’ God is by default the ultimate definer. He calls Himself a ‘He’ not ‘she’, ‘they’ or any other pronoun but He. Obviously, He isn’t a regular he, like a man, but rather He as in ‘almighty God’.

These G words define themselves as the Creator rules! God defines Himself. Genitals define gender. We get to chose a lot but far from everything.

In Genesis, we see that He created Adam first as a male and Eve second from Adam’s side (not front or back, not head or foot) second and distinctly similar but different for He created her as a female. He only created two genders. Adam for Eve and she for he.

Any fool who who thinks he know better or clearer than God is deceived. It’s odd and perplexing that some fail to recognize such fundamental truth. Nature itself shouts these truths boldly. When a foundation is flawed everything built upon it is as well.

Just looking for a good image to use for this blog, it is rather pathetic portrayal so many small people have of Adam and Eve.

I pity the person who confuses his or her sexual genitalia born with and fail to define and identify his or her assigned gender. If one is so confused with such a basic thing, how crazy must life be.

Some things just ‘are what they are’ because ‘it what it is’. The only way we people can prosper and sustain long term is to have unity with fundamental principles. With these fundamentals, there are no ‘if, ands or buts’ that won’t come back to bite and bite harder the longer and further they are unfollowed.

Unfortunately, all to many people in this so called ‘enlightened’ age with ‘AI’ fail to understand and co-operate with God’s creation. Beyond transgenderism, I am also referring to the false science of macro evolution, creation without a Creator, situational ethics, and other errors which embolden false beliefs.

God sovereignty commands – we either trust & obey / or rebel in sin

  • When we were born (birth) – for Life / not Abortion
  • Whom we were born (mother and father) – for family / not Neglect nor Disrespect
  • Why we were born (purpose) – Love, Relationships & Creational sustaining work / not Un-fulfillment, Idolatry nor Laziness
  • How we were born (intercourse) – for Union & Procreation / not Fornication nor Adultery
  • What gender we were born (male or female) – for first it was Adam then Eve / not Transgenderism nor Homosexuality
  • When we shall die (physical death) – when the soul departs from our natural body / not Suicide

Anytime, we humans usurp our free will and interfere with His divine design, it is a mistake aka the three letter word so many disregard and disrespect: SIN.

Yes, of course there are rare exceptional ‘abnormalities’, due to our living in a fallen world. Yet it’s our only world, at least for the time being. Regardless, we are called to make the best of it. We most certainly aren’t called to make believe that the abnormal is the new normal by further usurping and abusing our free will.

One must be blind not to see the stark Contradiction of nature with transgenderism, homosexuality and who knows what is next with a capital ‘C’.

We are indeed lost if we look to the fallen world for guidance, ignoring nature of design, legitimate science and most importantly God’s holy Word.

“Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.”

John 8:32

Let’s not make a mistake and overlook the ‘then you will’. What did Jesus say the ‘then’ actually is?

…if you continue in My Word…

John 8:31b

Yes, we can and should learn from nature, science, experience and so forth but the fundamental and ultimate truth comes directly from the Creator and His Word. If you doubt or belittle this macro truth, you are making a grave mistake.

Why should we complicate matters and usurp nature with it’s divine design?

The following are not my words but God’s, so don’t blame the messengers. Either you go with God’s flow or the fallen world’s.

“1But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. 2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, 4traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!”

2nd Timothy 3:2

Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.

2nd Peter 3:3

Folks, we are in the ‘last days’. No one knows when the last song will stop. It could literally be today, tomorrow, next year, hundreds of years or more. Let’s hope for the best (living for God) and be prepared for the worst (defying the devil).

The bottom line we either part of the solution or part of the problem; we are either with God or against Him. Silence is acceptance, ignorance is no excuse and denial becomes dangerous to our culture and fulfilling our calling.

God gave us free will to chose quite a lot. It’s a wonderful gift and awesome responsibility. As awesome as it is, we are NOT free to choose our choice consequences.

We are called NOT to away from reaching and loving people but to turn away from the sin (180 repentance). We called to be IN the world but not OF it. To excel still more, to glorify God more and more, to love and live the abundant life.

If I say it once, I will say it a thousand times because its tried and true:

Hate the sin, love the sinner!

It starts with me, then to you.

His grace is more than enough when we place our belief and faith in Jesus. We are called to trust and obey, for there is no other way (that leads unto anything good or redeeming).

My Pondering

This is a preborn baby with a God created soul NOT an blob of tissue or an alien…life begins at conception and certainly where there is a heart beat there is life. If we to consider life precious after birth, we should treat the most innocent life precious prior to birth. Otherwise, we as a society are treating other persons like trash by disposing it.
