Jan Markell: Are Shepherds For Sale?

 

"Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has
made you overseers.  Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased
with His own blood.  I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come
 in among you and will not spare the flock.  Even from your own number,
 men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.

Throwback Thursday: A Letter To The Editor

 

"Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all
the days of my life were written before ever they took shape,
 when as yet there was none of them."
(Psalm 139:16)

Image courtesy/The Guardian

In response to the recent letter, "Pro-Life Politicians" as a woman, wife, mother,
and independent voter,  I will always vote in favor of protecting unborn life. 

 There is something terribly wrong when the Supreme Court of the United States
 declares that a ban against partial-birth abortion is unconstitutional. 

 Could there be more to this alarming response from the nation's highest court
 than meets the public's eye? Human cloning used to be mere science-fiction fantasy. 
 It is now reality.  

Suppose that during a partial-birth procedure, pieces of the infant's brain
 tissue are being extracted and sold to the highest bidder for experimental
scientific research.  Perhaps viable organs are also harvested and sold for
unlawful medical testing.  It might explain why this horrific procedure,
although concluded to be, "never medically necessary to protect a woman's
 health" by the Physicians Ad-Hoc Coalition for Truth (PHACT) as well as
 former Surgeon  General C. Everett Koop, is being so strongly and
 inexplicably  advocated in this country.

Has our society become so besotted with economic prosperity and living beyond our means

that we have willingly traded our compassion for compromise regarding the sanctity of life?

I believe that the time is now for strong, pro-life leadership. We need a president who is

not afraid to stand up for the rights of the unborn future citizens of America.  After eight

disgusting years of pro-abortion policy from the Clinton-Gore Administration, our nation

has been turned into a vast killing field.  The abortion mills are running at full speed,

and the baby killers of America are getting richer.

There is a wise old saying which states, "Those who do not remember the past are

condemned to repeat it."  During the Second World War,  babies arriving at the 

notorious Auschwitz death camp were ripped from their mothers' arms and put

to death immediately, deemed, "unfit to live" by their Nazi murderers. The

infamous Dr. Joseph Mengele, known as the evil  "Angel of Death" performed

hideously unspeakable "experiments" on innocent people, including helpless infants.

Is this where we are heading, America?  Can anyone besides myself see the

strikingly familiar parallels between then and now?

Full Harvest Moon/Partial Lunar Eclipse Tonight

 

September's Full Harvest Moon will be part of a spectacular celestial event!

In addition to being a Super Moon, there will also be a partial lunar eclipse tonight!

Image courtesy/Pinterest

According to Space.com the Moon will start entering Earth's partial shadow 
starting at 8:41 PM EDT.    The eclipse will turn the moon a murky red-
brown color when the Earth's shadow descends upon the lunar surface.

  The eclipse will reach its peak about 10:44 PM  and will begin to exit the Earth's
shadow at 11:16 PM and the partial shadow at 12:27 AM Wednesday morning.

Although the partial lunar eclipse will be visible from almost all of  North
 America, the skies are mainly overcast here in my neck of the woods so
 I am not sure we will be able to see the moon tonight. But, I hope the skies
 will be clear where you are at my fellow sky watchers!🌝

The Constitution Is The Solution! The Dangers Of Democracy

 

In this presentation from The John Birch Society, one sees the difference
between a democracy, where there are no government limitations, and a
 Constitutional Republic, which has government limitations and is ruled by law.

Contrary to what many Americans have been led to believe, our nation

PSALM 12

To the Chief Musician
A Psalm of David

HELP,  LORD!

For principled and godly people are here no more; faithfulness
and the faithful vanish from among the sons of men.

To his neighbor each one speaks words without use or worth or truth;
with flattering lips and double heart deceitfully they speak.

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and tongues that speak proud boasting.

Those who say, With our tongues we will prevail; our lips are our own to
command at will-who is lord and master over us?

Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the
groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants.

The words and promises of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an
earthen furnace, purified seven times over.

You will keep them and preserve them, O Lord; You will guard and
 keep us from this evil generation forever.

The wicked walk or prowl about on every side, as vileness is exalted
and baseness is rated high among the sons of men.

AMERICA 2024 BY DEFINITION

"It is the time of departure from the Lord; the godly and faithful have ceased. 
 It is a mass of corruption, lying lips, flattering lips, proud lips. They reject the Lord. 
"Who is lord over us?"  Then faith sees the coming intervention. The Lord will speak.

  "Now will I arise," saith Jehovah. I will set him in safety whom they would puff."

   Jehovah will keep His people in these coming dark days,
 "when the wicked walk on all sides  and the vilest men are exalted."

Saturday Poetry Corner: For All We Have And Are

 

In the wake of this week's disastrous political debate and the 23rd Anniversary
of the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, may these words of the great English
writer Rudyard Kipling inspire all Americans who read them today.

Image courtesy/iStock

For all we have and are,

For all our children's fate,

Stand up and take the war.

The Hun is at the gate!

Our world has passed away

In wantonness o'erthrown,

There is nothing left to-day

But steel and fire and stone!

Though all we knew depart,

The old Commandments stand-

"In courage keep your heart,

In strength lift up your hand."

Once more we hear the word

That sickened earth of old;-

"No law except the Sword

Unsheathed and uncontrolled."

Once more it knits mankind

Once more the nations go

To meet and break and bind

A crazed and driven foe.

Comfort, content, delight,

The ages' slow-bought gain,

They shrivelled in a night,

Only ourselves remain.

To face the naked days

In silent fortitude,

Through perils and dismays

Renewed and re-renewed.

Though all we made depart,

The old Commandments stand:-

"In patience keep your heart,

In strength lift up your hand."

No easy hope or lies

Shall bring us to our goal,

But iron sacrifice

Of body, will, and soul.

There is but one task for all-

One life for each to give,

What stands if Freedom fall?

Who dies if England live?

One of the most moving songs from American country-western singer Marty Robbins'
iconic 1959 album, "Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs"  the story of a young
outlaw who comes to faith in Jesus Christ after falling in with a gang of outlaws
was a reflection of the balladeer's own Christian faith.

  Once when asked if he believed that God had played a role in his career, Mr. Robbins
 told his interviewer: "I started praying for this long before I ever got it, and long
  before I ever got into the business. Because I do believe in prayer.  And I prayed
   for all these things, and God gave me the strength to get them.  I have never
    set up any particular goal. Never. I just let it happen. Because I knew
 it was going to happen."

Throwback Thursday: 50 Years Ago This Week...

 

One of the most beloved and enduring shows premiered on primetime television.
 Called,  "Little House On The Prairie" this Emmy Award-winning, NBC series,
loosely based on the "Little House" series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder,
  ran for nine seasons (1974-1983) and is still a popular favorite on family-
friendly streaming services, cable channels, and on DVD today.

The 1970's marked the beginning of a changing world for the television industry
in America.  What was called a "rural purge" of networks (in particular CBS) began
as a series of cancellations of  popular, rural-themed TV series like, "The Beverly
Hillbillies"  "Mayberry R.F.D."  "Petticoat Junction" and "Green Acres",
not to mention country music variety shows such as "Hee Haw".

Tired of being called, "The Country Broadcasting System" and "The
Hillbilly Network",  CBS decided to move away from these countrified 
classics in order to appeal more to urban and suburban audiences, and
particularly young people, who rejected the rustic in favor of more here and now
 entertainment like Norman Lear's groundbreaking sitcom, "All In The Family".

Of course, one show that CBS did not cancel was "The Waltons" a heart-
warming weekly drama centered around a close-knit rural Virginia family 
living during the Great Depression and World War II.   The show aired
for nine seasons, with each episode ending with family members
 saying, "Good Night" to each other before going to bed.

Mary Ingalls (Melissa Sue Anderson) and Carrie Ingalls (played by twin sisters
 Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush).

Unlike the Ingalls family in the "Little House On The Prairie" set of historic
 fiction novels, the television Ingalls family lived for most of the series on their   
 little farm at Plum Creek,  located near the town of Walnut Grove, Minnesota.
 Pa purchased the farm from town elder Mr. Hanson, after the family was
  unceremoniously kicked out of their home in Indian Territory, Kansas
 by soldiers, as depicted in the pilot movie for the series.

Although mostly light-hearted fare with lots of moments of love
 and laughter, the show did not shy away from addressing serious, 
 even controversial subjects, in order to resonate with the modern viewer,

tackling issues such as alcoholism, adoption, drug abuse, affliction, poverty,
  sexual harassment, racial prejudice- even rape, not to mention portraying
the reality of frontier lawlessness on the prowl, as in the suspenseful,
Season 6 episode, "Darkness Is My Friend" when Mary and
Laura are menaced by a trio of desperate criminals.

In addition to the Ingalls family, other memorable characters on the series
included the gossipy, trouble-making store owner,  Harriet Oleson (Katharine
MacGregor) who liked to make life hard for the Ingalls family; her nasty,
spoiled brat daughter, Nellie (Alison Arngrim) frenemy of  "country girls"
Mary and Laura:  her mischievous son, Willie (Jonathan Gilbert); and
  her hen-pecked, but kind husband, Nels Oleson (Richard Bull); dedicated
 town physician Dr. Hiram Baker (Kevin Hagen); feisty mill owner and
 founder of the town Lars Hanson (Karl Swenson); pretty schoolteacher
Miss Eva Beadle (Charlotte Stewart); sweet-natured, elderly town seamstress
Mrs. May Whipple (Queenie Smith);  the rugged, yet good-natured mountain
man Isaiah Edwards, (Victor French) first introduced in the pilot movie,
who comes to Walnut Grove and later marries town postmistress
 and mid-wife, the widowed Grace Snyder (Bonnie Bartlett), and of
  course, the much loved circuit riding minister of the Walnut Grove
 church, Reverend Robert Alden (Dabbs Greer).

Many famous celebrities and entertainers made guest appearances on "Little House".
 Veteran screen and stage actress Patricia Neal played a terminally ill mother 
  of three children in the two-part Season 2 episode, "Remember Me".

 In this story, Charles promises to find good homes for her children, and after 
 some setbacks, the kids are adopted by newly married Isaiah and Grace Edwards.

The poem read at Julia Sanderson's (Patricia Neal's character's) funeral brings a
 poignant twist to the story of "Remember Me".  It was written by Michael Landon
 himself and was read aloud by Melissa Gilbert at his memorial service in 1991:

"Remember me with smiles and laughter,

For that's the way I'll remember you all.

If you can only remember me with tears,

Then don't remember me at all."

Others who made guest star appearances on "Little House" over the years
 included actor Ernest Borgnine, who portrayed an angel sent to watch over
  runaway Laura; comedian Red Buttons as a seller of "miraculous cures",
  American country music legends Johnny and June Carter Cash as a con artist
 and his wife out to fleece the flock of Walnut Grove; actor James Olson
as a phony faith healer; and Broadway stage and screen star Theodore Bikel
as a poor Russian immigrant ignorant of America's property tax laws.

Another acclaimed Broadway, movie, and television actor,
Louis Gossett Jr. played a wagon freighter, who, along with Charles
and Isaiah, agrees to haul dangerous blasting oil for the railroad 
in Season 2's  "The Long Road Home."

In another Season 2 episode, "For My Lady"  actress Mariette Hartley
 plays a beautiful young widow and new neighbor, who comes under
 suspicion after Caroline Ingalls learns her husband is taking off from
  working at Hanson's Mill early to do extra work at the woman's home.
In reality, Charles is working on restoring her woodwork in exchange 
 for the young widow's old set of pretty dishes as a gift for his wife.

1980's TV sitcom actor Willie "Charles In Charge" Aames played Seth, 
a schoolmate of Mary and Laura in the Season 3 episode, "Injun Kid".
Actor Sean Penn, whose father, director Leo Penn, worked on the show
during the fourth season in 1977, also appeared  as one of the kids
 attending Walnut Grove school, along with teen idol Jimmy McNichol,
in the Season 1 episode, "The Voice Of Tinker Jones".

One of the future stars of the hit NBC comedy, "Different Strokes"
Todd Bridges, also made a guest appearance on the show 
 as a runaway farm boy who longs to go to school in the
Season 3, episode,  "The Wisdom Of Solomon".

In the two-part, Season 4 episode, "I'll Be Waving As You Drive Away" 
 teen-aged Mary, who is studying to become a teacher, learns that 
 she is going blind as a result of contracting scarlet fever.  Charles 
 and Caroline decide to send her to a school for the blind in Iowa
where Mary gradually learns to accept her condition.

She also meets handsome Adam Kendall (Linwood Boomer), a
teacher at the school, who later invites her to teach at a new blind
 school in the wild frontier town of Winoka in Dakota Territory.

In Season 5, the Ingalls travel to Dakota Territory so that Mary can
 start teaching at the blind school.   She later marries Adam Kendall and the
 couple eventually returns to Walnut Grove to open another blind school.

Charles and Caroline also return to Plum Creek  from Dakota Territory,
bringing with them a street urchin named Albert Quinn, (Matthew Labyorteaux)
 whom they later adopt. In Season 7, they adopted an orphaned brother and sister,
James and Cassandra Cooper (Jason Bateman and Missy Francis) after
their parents are killed in a wagon wreck.

In 1982, the ninth season of the show premiered as "Little House: A New Beginning"
after star Michael Landon left the series.  This drama centered around the lives of
Laura, who married Almanzo Wilder (Dean Butler) and their young daughter, Rose,
(twin sisters Sarah and Jennifer Coleman) and of course, the residents of Walnut Grove,

  including long-time resident villainess Harriet Oleson, who adopted an even
   more obnoxious child than Nellie ever was, daughter Nancy (Allison Balsan).

Meanwhile, a new couple, John and Sarah Carter (Stan Ivar and Pamela Roylance)
moved into the Ingalls former home on Plum Creek with their two young sons,
Jason and Jeb (David Friedman and Lindsay Kennedy).

The ninth season also featured actress Shannon Doherty as Almanzo's niece,
  Jenny Wilder, who comes to live with them after the death of her father.
Bratty Willy Oleson grows up to become a responsible young man and marries his
  hometown sweetheart Rachel Brown (Sherri Stoner) against his mother's wishes,
 while Laura and Almanzo invested in the large home of a widower and turned it
into a boarding house. Meanwhile, Nellie Oleson, who married a man named
Percival Dalton (Steve Tracy) and moved away to New York City,
comes home to Walnut Grove for a visit.

There were also three post "Little House" series movies:

"Little House: Look Back To Yesterday"  (1983)

Little House: Bless All The Dear Children"  (1983)

*"Little House: The Last Farewell"    (1984)

"I wanted to destroy the entire town, which I did.  We were together for
nine years, and that's why we blew it up. That, plus the fact I didn't want
anybody making a trashy movie at Walnut Grove because I like that town."
-Michael Landon

* In "The Last Farewell"  the town of Walnut Grove is blown up by the townsfolks 
so that a greedy railroad tycoon can not claim the site. The mid-1980's was the height 
of the slash-and-trash horror film era.  I am sure Michael did not want the memory of 
 his beloved "Little House" set tarnished by some teen-stalking, knife-wielding serial killer!

Always Remember, Never Forget.

On that terrible morning  23 years ago today,

 regardless of  politics, religion, race, economic

 or social status, in our mutual shock and sorrow,

for one brief, shining moment, we were all Americans.

e pluribus unum.  Out of many, one.

Always Remember, Never Forget.

"Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;
except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain."
(Psalm 127:1)

Always Remember, Never Forget.

"Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism."
-President George Washington

Always Remember, Never Forget.

"A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom,
can never be restored.  Liberty, once lost, is lost forever."
-President John Adams

Always Remember, Never Forget.

"Restricted immigration is not an offensive but purely a defensive
action.  It is not adopted in criticism of others in the slightest degree,
but solely for the purpose of protecting ourselves. We cast no aspersions
on any race or creed, but we must remember that every object of our
institutions of society and government will fail 
unless America be kept American."
-President Calvin Coolidge

Always Remember, Never Forget.

"Without God, there could be no American form of Government,
nor an American way of life.  Recognition of the Supreme Being is
the first-the most basic- expression of Americanism. Thus, the
Founding Fathers saw it, and thus, with God's help it will continue to be."
-President Dwight Eisenhower

Always Remember, Never Forget.

"The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always
paid it.  And one path we shall never choose, and that
is the path of surrender or submission."
-President John F. Kennedy

Always Remember, Never Forget.

"We must always remember that America is a great nation today
not because of what government did for people but because of what
people did for themselves and one another."
-President Richard Nixon

Always Remember, Never Forget.

"I've said before I believe this land was set aside in an uncommon way,
that some divine plan must have placed this continent here between
two oceans to be founded by people from every corner of the Earth,
but who had one thing in common, and that was a special love
of faith and freedom and peace."
-President Ronald Reagan.
