Rally, rally, rally—let’s all gather and rally for a cause

East coast, west coast and Texas. The so called important people cancelled the “White Nationalist” gathering at College Station, Texas. I am glad too, because it is (if I am mistaken) getting ready for football season in which we should all be concentrating on more than anything else. 

Will Texas A & M attempt at beating the Roll Tide this year? What say you Nick Saban? What say you Ken Sumlin?

I am just a native of Alabama and a resident of Texas. This is the only game that matters to me. Of course, I like the US Navy games when they play Wake Forest. Those boys in white look awfully good; unfortunately, I am not a cougar but I am not dead!

I am so tired of hearing about White Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter, Gay Lives Matter, Trans-Sexual Lives Matter, Unborn Lives Matter, and so on, and so on, and so one, etc.  Did anyone stop to think that all lives matter. Why? Life is a gift from God—it matters. It actually isn’t a gift it is a loan on earth for a short period of what we really and truly have no understanding—God’s time.

You know we all have some things in common as being human beings: (a) every adult has had a pimple on their butt at one point in time, (b) we all have butts, and (c) we all have opinions.

In our life-time every one will be discriminated against racially, age, sexually, religiously, politically, and just plain discrimination because of the way they look. No one person and or group is exempt from this happening to them. Not only is it happening in the United States, but it is happening all over the world. Discrimination of one type or another has been recorded since written history began.

I hate to state this because it is hard to understand--- if a person is shot and killed – it is their time to go. If a person is run over by a car and killed—it is their time to go. If a person is at a gym working out and they die—it is their time to go. If a person is asleep and dies—it is their time to go. If an embryo is aborted and does not become a life—it is their time to go. Though, intentionally killing any human being is truly not an honorable thing to do and is truly frowned upon, but it happens for various reasons. Regardless death is part of the life in which we live. 

God breathes that soul of life into all us. When? We honestly do not know. We know that God takes us out like a “thief in the night”. When? We honestly do not know. There is a time for everything. When? We honestly do not know because we do not know God’s time.

Examples:

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 37:5-6

“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.” 1 Thessalonians 5:2

“Therefore, keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” Matthew 25:13

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heaven are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9.

“…What are you doing? Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm, and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure. For there is proper time and procedure for every matter, through a person may be weighed down by misery. Since no one knows the future, who can tell someone else what is to come? As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has power over the time of their death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.” Ecclesiastes 8:4-8

We should save our souls and then… we should treat people as we want to be treated without fail. We may be human but be humane, with a lot of humility and a lot of respect for each other. It doesn’t matter what other people do. You be the one to set the example.

Incidentally I am not a white life. I am just an American—and according to my DNA, I have a whole bunch of different races including but not limited to N African, Scot, French Carolinian, Greek, and Baltic regions. What is more important than my life is my soul. 



May God bless you all.
