Today was interesting...I ate lunch with someone new (business related), and I quickly found out this person's hot button/passionate topic was religion. You might think, oh that is right up your alley....not this time. This person was a self-claimed agnostic (and if you don't know...agnostics are skeptical. Nothing is proven in their opinion). This person bashed Christianity, and every other religion...made extreme comments about religion, Christianity...and the more I've thought about it, mocked Jesus, the Trinity, and many other aspects of my Savior.
Here's the kicker...he made the statement that at one point he almost became a preacher. How does one go from choosing a career/passion that leads people to Christ and salvation...and then become agnostic and literally persuade people to question their values, beliefs, hearts, and ultimate Lord? As I told a friend on the phone...I am so thankful that I have a solid foundation, because this guy was an intellectual bully. He knew or talked about sooo much religion, history, some intertwined with politics...there are few people I've ever encountered that could hold their ground and actually challenge someone like this.
My take aways: 1. Pray for this guy...I won't name names, but his heart NEEDS JESUS. Pray for his soul seriously 2. I need to step up my learning and knowledge...I was not prepared for this guy. 3. Knowledge can be detrimental...it was in this case, and it was in the Garden of Eden (I wish I would have said that) 4. It's called FAITH...Hebrews defines it and obviously hits the nail on the head. 5. He said that religion is ultimately based out of fear of death...I have a problem with that. I hope it doesn't happen anytime soon for my family's sake, but I don't fear death itself because I truly know where I will spend eternity. I fear what it will do to my loved ones, but I actually have PEACE in the process of what's to come...not fear.

It's been waaaayyyy too long...government
So it's been months since I have been able to post...for those who don't personally know me, I just changed jobs. (It's a big deal). Through some of that, I haven't been able to keep up as much as I like...so consider this a come back, or atleast the start of a comeback.
Throughout my 3 full weeks of being in my new job, the interference of government in the health care industry has come up ALOT. I could go on and on and on about these two intertwined issues, but I'm gonna leave health care behind for now...and go into how government plays a role (or too much of a role) in our education system.
I heard this within the last couple of weeks, and literally got FIRED UP in my car. Possible coming to a public school near you...MANDATED HOMOSEXUALITY BEING TAUGHT TO YOUR CHILDREN!!! Seriously...Seriously. As my blood pressure goes up from thinking about this, let this serve as a warning and reason to take action or atleast be informed. The State of California and their Governor has mandated that the history of homosexuality be taught in every subject within their public schools. So, let's say your child is in English class...yep, along with grammar and writing...must come how a homosexual played an important role in English. Hmmm, is this math class you might add? Oh wait, this homosexual mathematician could add and liked the same gender...does this not sound RIDICULOUS to you?
Here's the deal...we would all agree that California is a huge state, in size and population right? Why is that important...because when text books are made for a state like California (or Texas), that is what books other states are offered to buy. So, your kids in North Carolina for instance...could be using the same books that the state of California is using...which includes homosexual references. Can we say absolutely insane. How is this happening?
Get involved people...I guarantee many parents have no idea of this, and would be irate if they knew. If I wanted to teach my kids about that lifestyle...I would be responsible for it, not the PUBLIC education system. I used to think private school was for the super wealthy...I now realize why parents choose to home school or put their kids in private school. It's because our government is corrupting our kids from an early age...they have NO BUSINESS teaching this to young kids. There is always hidden agendas...you better start paying attention.
For those of you who think this post is a bit extreme...my spouse is a public educator who will be teaching history this upcoming year. Yes, he was told to teach on homosexuality in his class (in regards to bullying...but no one wants or approves of their kid getting bullied; not just homosexuals) Catch my drift here...the homosexual ideology and lifestyle is infiltrating itself into a classroom near you...beware!
