The number one question today is how did the most powerful nation in the world get into the mess its in today? First of all, it came about by being dishonest. The best way for politicians to get elected was to deny themselves their true beliefs and settle for the things that would help them get elected. Unfortunately, the candidate with the most exciting promises, for those of less privileges, were most likely to be voted in. The list is long and varied of laws that were made to benefit the foreigners, as well as the illegal ones who were already here in the U.S. In other words its like we turned our country gradually into a ‘holy hell’ of unwelcome foreigners and some who were welcomed, but should not have been. “We the people” have had to conform to other languages, accept unwanted laws, because of some of these new citizens, and risk our own lives every day to bombs and other destructive devices by enemies swarming like flies. The politicians had to keep their word even when they knew they had denied their true conscience to rightly act in order to get elected. If and when a president stands up to the principles that got him elected, an army of rebels, (U S citizens,) are trying with all force possible to get him out of office. The point I’m trying to make is because of dishonesty, and comprise, even at its lowest level, is by all means, the paved road to trouble and eventually defeat. The U S has by far too many citizens and non-citizens from other countries who want to take our freedom away. It is coming down to a civil war in my opinion.
The reason for me to write this kind of article is because of disagreement I have with those who make remarks like this; “We all got ourselves into this mess so let us all work together and get ourselves out of it.” Maybe a good thought, but one that will never happen. I believe our country will always remain the best and the most powerful, but not without much bloodshed and sweat from every brow. We have already seen much of that, but much is yet to come. Our most reliable source is the Almighty Power of God. Until America gets back to the foundation for which this nation was built upon it cannot stand firm much longer. To all of those who are looking for an easy way out, don’t kid yourself; Its up hill all the way from now on out.
God bless America

"ABOVE OR BELOW OR WHAT"
I received a telephone call today from a friend telling me how much she was enjoying reading my new book, “Above or Below.” I was pleased, but absolutely shocked that she was so deeply drawn into this book. It would be nice to get a lot more of those kind of calls. The book is ready for printing and should be available to order right away. Xlibris.com or 888-795-4274 ext. 7879. Arthur Myrtle Jean Sharp. The book is partly true and partly fiction. Its everyone’s guess which is and which is not. I personally don’t want to go close to the setting of this novel for fear I might become a victim of it. You will just have to read to know what I am talking about. This book is a mystery within a mystery. The fact that it took 32 years to complete is a mystery. The plot or storyline is full of mystery, some of which is left to the reader’s own imagination. I painted the picture on the book cover to depict the story. It makes the story seem more real. Of course it would have taken another book to hold all the paintings of every scene, but the reader’s mind is a good snapshot flash its self. I am hoping that the mind of everyone who reads this book will hold those mental pictures for a very long time. In time everything they read may come true.
Here’s hoping that many will order this book and enjoy it as much as the caller today did.
God Bless

"Landry's Seafood and Steakhouse Perryton Texas"
Today at First Christian Church was the ‘once-a-month’ pot luck dinner. The church board meeting always follows the good meal. The group serving the meal today decided to serve it Landry style from Branson Missouri. It was a perfect model of the real Landry’s Food served the Landry’s style. What a great job the cooks and waiters did! After going through a line to select your own food, a table with attractive cloth and centerpiece was inviting you to sit down. Soon after being seated a tall slender guy with a very loud voice started yelling, “hot roll anyone?” When he saw a hand go up he immediately threw a hot roll at them before they had time to prepare for the catch; however everyone seemed to catch it just in time. Charles saw our pastor walking to a table with a plate in one hand and a drink in the other. The waiter yelled out, “ hot roll pastor?‘ Then the roll was tossed several yards to land in the pastor’s plate with him juggling it to keep it from falling out. How exciting it was! At first a few hearts started pounding, but everyone quickly got adjusted to it. The laughs never stopped. A waitress was walking the isles constantly with bowls of side dishes, offering more delicious food. This group did a great job in feeding the flock, and we hope they will do it again; however it won’t be as exciting the next time because everyone will know what to expect.
What a blessed people we are to have such wonderful food and fellowship in a time such as we are living now with so much uncertainty. The love of God will no doubt take us through every dark trial we may be faced with. It certainly is a time when we must stick together forgetting all past hurts and disappointments, vowing to be all that God wants us to be. The old saying, “we can kill our enemies with love,” just may be true, that is if they don’t have a gun pointed at us.
God bless

"Will You Dare Stand Up For Jesus"
Am I, yes I am tough enough to take the sharp darts that Satan throws at me almost every day. Healing comes quickly when we tell God we need His spirit to kiss our wounds. He never fails to kiss the pain away.
Satan’s arrows are tossed by real live persons whom want to exalt their importance as they imagine it. Both Satan and the shooters are then elevated to a place where more darts can be thrown with much greater force. It would be wrong for me to say these followers of Satan know that they are his helpers. Like the scribes and Pharisees, they are trying to help Jesus out by telling him what Moses would have done when a woman was found in the act of adultery. “Stone her to death,” they informed Jesus. At least the scribes and Pharisees were not relying upon their own judgment. They did ask Jesus what He would do. Jesus didn’t throw a dart at them. He simply said, “he that is without sin, let him cast the first stone”. The accusers disappeared quickly.
The scribes and Pharisees kept only the part of the law that they liked. How true it is today when people justify their acts by their own desires and not by God’s word. It should be a shame for people to represent the church of God with worldly suggestions appearing from head to toe. Where is the reverence that was so divinely instructed by the early church? Where is the reverence and respect that I was taught as a child growing up a few years ago? Where is the respect we used to have for our own bodies, never a tattoo, or a relaxed dress code, that moved the mind away from the presence of God?
In keeping with the teaching of the Holy Bible, we are going to get pierced by the fiery darts of Satan. It will not make us popular in this world but, it will merit us a great reward in the world to come. Are we going to save our neck or serve our God?
God bless
