I’m a freedom advocate. Have been my entire life. Because I grew up in the freest country in the world. That description barely fits America now. And information, like the blurb I’m about to share with you, where so-called “laws” advocate freedom for schools to do the most horrific things to your kids, is why I say that.

Freedom for schools should never include this kind of deception.

“AB665 goes into effect today, July 1, 2024. AB665 removes the due process requirement of proof of abuse or neglect to remove parental rights and emancipate a child out of the family home. So, under AB665, children 12+ can leave home, under any circumstance, to stay at a residential shelter facility with secret help from adults at school & private/public services. Now, Newsom (governor of California) has AB1955 on his desk to sign or veto. And it would force schools to lie to or hide from parents the active social transitioning of their children with gender dysphoria. Everyone everywhere can call Newsom’s office to veto AB1955 at 916-445-2841 Don’t let Newsom California the nation.”

So, obviously the AB, in those “laws” or “policies” or whatever you wanna call them, stands for AntiChrist Bureaucracy. Because no one, who even remotely cares what God thinks, would ever consider it even remotely OK to call for the “social transitioning of their children with gender dysphoria.”

Side note: there is NO SUCH THING as gender transitioning. So, there is NO SUCH THING as an actual “trans” person. When you’re born with the XX chromosome, you’re a girl. And the XY chromosome means  you’re a boy. And the only way you’re ever gonna change that is to mess with God’s design. But I don’t recommend that. Especially if you’re not into GMO (genetically modified organism) mutants.

One solution to this junk is to give parents more freedom for school at home.

There are even homeschool organizations in California (gasp! Even California?!) that fight to give parents more freedom for schooling their kids at home. I’m not from California. And I’m not familiar with their whole programs. But I’m impressed with the resources they provide to help you homeschool your kids.

If you’re a parent (or you know parents of) who’d like to homeschool, but you don’t feel qualified, don’t underestimate yourself. I know a woman, who moved to America from Romania, and she homeschooled all three of her American-born kids. AND English isn’t her first/native language.

And here’s a rhyme that I hope helps to encourage you:

Today, you should share your love and smile.
You might help somebody else a while.
And then they might wanna do it, too.
That’s how it all bounces back to you.
So try. Just go see if I am right.
And then, when you sleep and dream tonight,
You’ll rest with the peace you’re longing for
And wake ready to go share some more.

An adult Christian man was a stupid boy on a social media channel early this morning. Because he wrote something stupid. And he writes a lot of things like this morning’s little jab. And I don’t why he’d say and do the things he does, in public, other than he likes picking fights with other Christians.

That’s why I said he was a stupid boy.

Because stupid boys pick fights. And it’s extra stupid for a Christian to do such things on social media for the whole world to see. And you can bet the whole world loves to see Christians arguing and airing their disagreements.

Just so you know. The guy’s blurb included a slight cut aimed at me and others like me. Here are his words:

”Don’t go with the crowd, even if that crowd is your church.
Go with God.
God isn’t pro family, pro life, political, a dispie.”

OK, the first two sentences are fine.

First one: “Don’t go with the crowd, even if that crowd is your church.” Yes, that’s true. The “crowd” is typically against God. So, don’t go with them. And many churches today follow the trends of the world. So, yeah, don’t go there either.

Second one: “Go with God.” Oh yeah, definitely. He’s your only hope.

And if the guy would’ve stopped there, or at least clarified his words, he could have avoided stupid boy syndrome. But then he followed up good stuff with stupid stuff. So, there you go.

Because God IS pro family. He is FOR family. And He Is pro life. He is FOR life. And God established government. So, He isn’t anti politics. I’m sure God hates what politics become when left in the hands of fools. But He wants you and me to live in a world governed by moral judgment based on real right and wrong. Government provides for that.

And then…

He implied God isn’t “a dispie.”

OK, that’s sort of an inside remark among Christians. Because if you’re a heathen…er…not a Christian, you might never have heard that term. It’s short for dispensationalist. I’m one of those pesky dispies. (side note: that word looks like someone who disses pies, and that would never be me)

A dispensationalist is someone who believes God has dealt with, is dealing with, and will deal with humans in different ways at different times. That’s the overview. And modern Christians didn’t make up the word. The apostle, Paul, even used the word in his letters.

Anyway…

I see so many church people who think of dispensationalists the way that guy does. And they even look at us, cross-eyed when we say we’re also young Earth creationists and open theists. That really drives ‘em over the edge. But, hey, the truth is the truth. Even when it rubs you the wrong way. Right?

Alright, I’m gonna finish out my miniature rant with something political. And I can only guess, of course, but I don’t believe God would be against my political position here. No matter who’s in charge of nations, give me…

God Over Government

Rights don’t come from government.
They only come from God.
Man’s words might acknowledge this,
But they can be outlawed.
No one here is sovereign.
And no one here is good.
And nations will disintegrate
Until that’s understood.
Truth will not prevail upon
The ones who choose to hate
The One who is the Truth, the Life,
The Way, and narrow Gate.
“Freedom isn’t free,” they say.
And you won’t disagree,
When you find out what it took
To bring you liberty.
The man-made “constitution,”
Amended to add rights,
Barely reflects the message
From the Father of lights.
He said perfect life awaits
For “who believes in Me.”
Choose God over government.
His Truth shall make you free.

I see it almost every day in so-called “conservative social media.” And I cringe every time I see it. Talk about the so-called “Second Amendment Rights” of every American citizen. I obviously don’t disagree with the right to life and liberty. But your right to defend your life and freedom doesn’t come from a document some well-intentioned men wrote almost 250 years ago. Even if they sort of acknowledged the hierarchy of God over government. Because their words were too vague.

They were brilliant guys. And definitely bold. Don’t think for a minute that I don’t realize that.

But they didn’t stand boldly enough on the Truth that can make you free. And Thomas Jefferson’s watered down religious beliefs probably had much to do with that. (side note: He actually re-wrote his own version of the Bible. And he left out parts he said were “so much absurdity, so much untruth, and charlatanism.” Plus, he said the Gospels were full of “vulgar ignorance.”

Early this morning, I wrote a rhyme based on that and SO much more evidence for the scarcity of wisdom in this world. It’s for anyone who understands something’s not quite right. And that the world is lost and needs…
