Good Morning from the desk of Chaplain “Boots”

7/30/2013

            Greetings everyone, trust this post finds you well, both physically and spiritually.

If I were to title this post, it would be; WHO IS YOUR ALLY?

With the new and coming hopeful electoral candidates for the November & 2014 election, speeches are becoming VERY confusing…. This is not the time to select and positively toss your thinking and future vote on any particular person. Some are waffling and changing their platforms. WAIT till the REAL truth comes out in EVERY candidate. Most candidates are testing the waters, what works and what does not work. Hold your monetary support till the waters become calmer. There is a lot of speculation and false information being presented at this time. You know the Media is very biased, as in most of my posts, I suggest; DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!! Where has this candidate been? What has his stand been prior to this campaign? Many will promise to do this or that, we have been there many times before, right??? When they get into office, all the promises go out the window. I don’t need to tell you these things, you are wise enough to make a viable decision. 

            WHO IS YOUR ALLY? Above, we approached the meat in the nutshell, however; there is so much more to this communication than what I can relate. Some of which I hesitate to put in print, because I have no idea who is reading this. I do not intend to make myself a TARGET for any adversary, unnecessarily!!!!!! However, I will not bow to political or political correctness! If you need to know more of what I’m trying to communicate, then you know how to get a hold of me. False teachers and prophets are surfacing by the scores, these are both political & so called spiritual  voices in the wilderness! I’m sorry to say, this includes messages or lack thereof in our churches. I am very careful to whom I listen to and support - even pray blessings over! I receive volumes of information, some credible, some very distorted. I have countless  ACQUAINTANCES, who may not be my FRIENDS.  I have to be on guard with discernment & wisdom to sort out which information which bears keeping and or repeating! Using proper vernacular, NOW IS THE TIME TO BE [get] PREPARED, There is no possible SURE / VIABLE information which will be totally accurate, other than the SCRIPTURES! The rug [so to speak - sic] could be pulled out from under each or any of us in a moment, without notice!! Our present source [media] information is sketchy and unreliable. Have I made my point???? 

“Take heed,  that no man deceive you”  Matt 24:4

COMMUNICATION

7/10/13



Salutations;

Let’s get down to the nitty gritty of communications. Many folks HEAR but do not LISTEN. This was one of the first items mentioned in one of my classes years ago. Another by product of the same scenario is; making comments while the moderator is presenting his view, disrupting the flow of the class. Usually the moderator will open the floor to questions and comments during and after the presentation. I have a very difficult time with folks who interrupt. It’s downright rude and very impolite! But we live in a post modern culture, where nothing is sacred anymore. Have you ever been in a situation where someone asks you “HOW ARE YOU?” And proceed on their way without waiting for an answer! This is CRASS IGNORANCE, and DISRESPECTFUL! My Facebook says I have hundreds of social friends. Rarely does anyone respond to my posts, as if purposely ignored. Perhaps, it’s not of a social nature to respond? One thing comes to mind, maybe I’m wrong in assuming; me being a man of the cloth, folks are intimidated by my person or verbal gestures. I know for a fact that some are even jealous of the STRENGTH, I possess, physical, materially, & spiritually. That’s okay, I’ll NEVER judge you or make you feel insecure. When I was a child, the THING was “Children weren't made to be seen, or heard, just listen.” That stuck with me for years, part of that still hampers my communications. The loud mouth in the crowd always gets attention, in other words “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” Some folks have all the ANSWERS to almost EVERYTHING, even before you have a chance to verbalize your own views, if you have the opportunity to express them. I know, I’m considered a simple bumpkin with minimal formal education, at least some folks perceive me as that!

Most folks have no idea WHO Paul Reimer is; probably won’t take the time to find out! That’s your loss! I will never make the Who’s Who, write a book, entertain thousands, appear on tv, get elected. And by the way, I’m so glad I wasn’t!!!!!! I won’t be a part of the degrading of society. I have been taught values, morals and will in no way bow to POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, devalue my stand. I take pride in who I am [in the Lord] and in society, I will hold my candle to anyone who dares to stand up with me. You may have faculties that outweigh mine, but when it comes to endurance in the race of life and knowledge of survival physically, emotionally and spiritually, I will succeed. It’s been said that you learn through the hard knocks of life, if that is the case, I'm a Champion. If you will / could take a few moments of your time to challenge [yes I’m up to that] and know the deep thoughts of my heart & mind, you might learn so much.

It reminds me of the email I have seen several times. A son asks his Father, “How much do you make?” The Father replies with a negative answer, and in disregard. Later the boy came back with ONE DOLLAR of his hard earned allowance. The Father sternly says, “What’s this??????” Waiting for a moment……The boy responds with a simple phrase. “Dad,,,,,,, Can I buy one dollars worth of your time?” The Father was crushed. J

Happy 236th Birthday!! 1776-2013

7/3/13

236th Birthday 1776-2013

Good Afternoon folks;

Many folks are getting their grills ready to barbecue some goodies, purchasing HOT DOGS, [quite a history about hot dogs] brats and burgers. Company & guests will arrive, possibly bringing a pot luck style meal. Some jurisdictions will even celebrate with a parade. American flags will be displayed at full mast across the land. A day of celebration without any cognizant meaning of what 4th of July is, declared a Federal Holiday June 1941. Initially it was called INDEPENDENCE DAY originated in Pennsylvania July 2, 1776, with five co founders, drafted by Richard Henry Lee. The original document wasn't fully signed by all colonies till months later. Most people have not researched the title, and claim only the 4th of July as fire cracker day. Did you know that the first celebration, they shot cannons? For your consideration; research, CONTINENTAL CONGRESS, [June 7, 1776] AMERICAN REVOLUTION, ARTICLES OF FEDERATION, [1789] REVOLUTIONARY WAR, [1775 - 1783] & KING GEORGE III, British King who opposed the Continental Congress a year earlier.

Despite the fact we celebrate many Holidays without knowing the true origins, we forget that AMERICA was born in & by great peril & distress. Countless wars and scrimmages made this country free from tyranny. Over the 236 years politicians have eroded the concept of a FREE government, principally founded on FREEDOM FROM RELIGION and tyranny. Those included excessive taxation. Folks in Washington & our local State houses, feel they can improve on the original documents, raising taxes for more services. Whatever happened to self preservation? EDUCATION & GOVERNMENT, has taken its place!! Some even want to rewrite the Constitution [with what? Sharia law?] Early settlers were sick and tired of being ruled by a tyrant King, does this fit BO? So they, [just a few] begin a revolution [and maybe we should again today?] to change what super powers had in mind.

As you celebrate this day of remembrance, take time to reflect the cost our forefathers who paid dearly for our Liberty. Just don’t eat, drink & be merry! FLY AND RESPECT OUR AMERICAN FLAG!!!!!!! Don’t make it a one day thing!

While you're at it, pause a moment to give thanks to the ONE who gave us our Freedom to begin with, along with all of our Military, and those who diligently serve us for our well-being. Include Law enforcement, firefighters & medical interventionist.

Father’s Day just passed, give THANKS for your parents and family.

Summer Time!

June 12, 2013

Greetings;
Just a few more days the calendar indicates that we begin SUMMER! The reports on the news by the weathermen, tell us that we have broken all records for all times, for high temperatures, in June. Yet, just last week Arapahoe Basin was still open to skiers. In the San Luis Valley, my childhood birthplace, they are still experiencing frost at night. Colorado is burning fast and furious with forest fires. Four separate fires are currently keeping firefighters very busy. The Black Forest fire near Colorado Springs has devastated 8,000+ acres, possible 100+- elite homes, and is still uncontained, 15,000 folks have been asked to evacuate. Just one year ago, on the west side of Colorado Springs, the Waldo Canon Fire consumed many thousand acres and more than a hundred homes. We are aware of the multiple tornados that have hit Oklahoma City / Moore area.

It appears that there are more instances of severe weather happening than ever before? To our amazement, very few lives have been lost. I believe that these are events that are indicating that our Sovereign God is speaking loud and clear for America to REPENT!

We read in the Old Testament that when people refused to follow God’s plan and or were enemies of God’s people, he destroyed complete armies and sects of people. And yet nothing has changed today, perhaps even got worse? I’m reminded of the scripture where the Disciples were aware of the decant lifestyles around them and they asked Jesus how they could take care of them. Jesus replied by telling them to leave the tares with the wheat alone, else some wheat would be pulled out alongside. This appears to be happening in our current society today. Quite a few so called ministries are taking the same attitude toward certain individuals & venues. In my mind, I probably feel the same? I know for a fact that some folks are presenting themselves as devout born again believers, saved, sanctified, filled with the Holy Ghost and are living double standard lives…. I’d like to expose them or worse, however; I’m very aware we are living in the final days, and I have to maintain my dedicated walk with the Lord, and leave the judgment to our Lord.

I’m not perfect, so don’t misinterpret my stand! On the other side of the coin, many are just coasting through life with no concern about their salvation. Our churches have for the most part left the OLD TIME RELIGION preaching, and given in to the modern ways, accommodating & caving in more and more to the ways of the world. People aren’t being taught the WORD, so how could they live a righteous life? Maybe because we have watered down versions of what we think / believe is the BIBLE? Many believe that GRACE will cover all the sins? And everyone will get to heaven, and we are free to do / believe whatever we choose?! Paul told Timothy, to KNOW what we have been taught and by whom? To hold FAST to the teachings of Christ. There will be a great reckoning day for many, very soon, someday, and may now be???? So, do you think all these catastrophic events are just a phenomena, which are we are just becoming more aware than before? In the WORD, some folks in Bible days even said “HE delaieth HIS COMING.” Why do we not take heed of our intuitions and convictions [if we have any] of the times at hand. I would pray that each of us would take a serious inventory where we stand with our Lord, don’t be so strong headed [sure] your [self] righteousness will be sufficient to carry you through. The WORD is very clear, for those who live a pure life what benefits are reserved for them. We don’t have to succumb to false doctrines, government control, and I might add, relinquish our 2nd Amendment rights.

More next time, Do I hear an AMEN?

Dysfunctional Corruption

Greetings once again;
My heart is in a quandary this morning, I guess it's due to the fact that so many dysfunctional things are going aria! Our Legislature has adjourned for the year, only accomplishing special interest agendas. Should that surprise me? Sufficing nothing that promotes job growth, in fact the opposite! Firms and businesses are moving out of State and some are considering closing shop. Rules, regulations and taxation have dominated most bills passed, 400+. Bypassing the TABOR AMENDMENT entirely! So how did they go around that? Can't call it a TAX, but a FEE! If this isn't an undermining of our liberties I don't know what, so close to Communism and most folks are sleeping!!!!!!!! Don't get me started!!!!
Not only dysfunctional, [that's putting it mildly] but there are righteous [sic] folks out there taking advantage of the system!! Those in charge even admit the system is broken, children are slipping through the cracks [dying]. Apparently the SYSTEM is designed to facilitate CORRUPTION! Blatantly in disregard for any conviction, weather moral or spiritual! Where have morals and values gone? Anything goes? I'm going to pick on those who profess to be Christians [born again] too! My foot! No compassion, no commitments, moral or ethical values. It's all covered by GRACE! WHAT?????? Many are so self centered and concerned, it's pitiful!! And to make things worse, they aren't even aware of it!!!! To me it's alarming, but what can I do about it????
I am convinced that had I been elected last November, I'd been overridden, out voted! Being outspoken, I probably would have heaped upon myself more problems? But that is who I am, and for the most part, people hate that! HONESTY HURTS! Furthermore, I'm glad that I wasn't elected, I can live with my conscience! Talk about and EDUCATION, and no diploma! chuckle I will continue to support those who stand up for the RIGHT! Some of this has caused me greater stress & concern. However, I know how to deal with that.... You got it!!! I've tried to be a citizens ADVOCATE, and for the greater part that too has gone un-noticed! Don't get me wrong, what I have learned has benefited me tremendously, in avenues I am not at liberty to divulge. One more thought! Most folks aren't willing to step forward and do anything about it. The adage is, "I don't want to get involved." The sorriest statement ever concocted. That's the reason this nation is where it is today!
I usually don't go with the FLOW, I'm a Salmon, I swim upstream!!

May Day, May Day;

Greetings from the Mile High City,
It's May 1, and we are celebrating another bout of snow, which we well need. However, some folks are very tired of winter, so be it! This is Colorado! No, this is SPRING, just happens that it sometimes furnishes us with some solid moisture. Just because we are anxious, that will not change the picture! People are never happy, regardless what is GIVEN to them. Oh boy does that open up the avenue for a new topic today.

I'd like you to open your BIBLE to Mathew chapter 24, read the complete chapter. [You have one, don't you? I'd suggest King James Version] Pay attention to verse 8 in particular! It doesn't matter if you subscribe to what it says or not. YES IT DOES! If you are a believer or not, scripture if you like it or not, is EVIDENT / FULFILLMENT of the last days. I could define BELIEVER! You can ignore it, smooth it over with everything from Science to myth, It's always been this way, read history. Now if that isn't a bunch of rhetoric, [non-sense] I don't know what is! I'm sure many folks will argue with me, however deep inside their agruments don't hold a bit of water, and they KNOW it! Nature is changing, people are changing, and everything around us. Morals and values included! I keep referring to the publications I get, and it is very disturbing what is happening [Legislatively / Executive Orders speaking]. Our rights and freedoms are eroding at a rapid speed, not so suttle anymore. It's only a matter of time if you haven't been affected yet, it will soon! I won't go into details, each one that reads this blog is able to discern and read how our elected officials are blatently ignoring our voices. To heck with the Constitution! And you call this a Democratic Government? BS!

You Holyier than thou folks have some surprises ahead of you too! I'd wear some holes in my jeans on the knees if I were you! It's not a cake walk anymore, and if you haven't noticed it never was. Some have escaped the reality for one reason or another, but judgement is coming; Spiritually & Physically. Our Colorado branch of Government is having a hey day, of course they're Democrats, passing over 600+ bills while they can! If I offended you, I'm not sorry! I haven't kept track of how much it will cost the taxpayers, come July 1, they don't care, they will retire with hugh pensions! Where was your voice at the ballot box, and the Capitol? Your government will and has taken away your right to bear arms, will you be able to defend your family & yourself if necessary? Calling 911 may not be timely! READ HISTORY!!!!!!!
Enough for you to digest, if you care to!

History 101

Greetings from my desk; 4/18/13
 We've been experiencing a rift of cold weather here in Colorado, and the front range. As we get older we forget what winters in the past have been. Boy am I getting soft? We rely on the Weather Bureau to make forecasts, often missing accuracy. I'm a native and a long time resident in the Denver area. However; the Denver & front range are set in a bowl right off [east of] the Rocky Mountains, a difficult place to predict accurately . The calendar says it's Spring! :) For those who have lived in Colorado, for any length of time, it is no surprise to have frosts and snow storms even as late as June 8. The weather patterns have changed a lot over the years, and it's not surprising with what's happening in our world today. Which leads me to the paragraphs & comments following.
 As a boy raised on a farm, one experiences a wealth of information that urban kids NEVER have the opportunity to acquire. Incidental, they don't teach that in school. HARD WORK comes to mind, foremost! Next in line are SURVIVAL SKILLS. You learn to adapt very quickly to the environment around you, MATURE almost before the age of accountability! Working together as a team, not self sufficient. [Or selfishly] You understand and accept RESPONSIBILITY at an exceptional early age. Learn the value of the monetary system and how to attain & keep it. My first paying job was (75¢) yes, seventy cents and hour, picking potatoes by hand. I was fifteen at the time, hard work for a small statured boy, not to mention a ten hour day. After you got through from a day of labor in the hot sun, you still had chores to do when you got home! That involved milking [by hand] a dozen cows, bringing in fire- wood and coal. We didn't have running water, we had to pack it in morning and evening by the bucket full. The two holed privy was out by the barn. Baths occurred on Saturdays! Complaining was almost never heard of! Meals were made on an old fashioned wood burning stove, by my Mother [a LADY I remind you] that worked in the fields as well. As boys we learned how to cook,wash & iron, sew and other crafts. Coal oil lamps were our method of reading at night. We didn't need pep talks from our parents, we had the intuition to KNOW what was needed without being told. Mis behaving resulted in spankings. A complete different concept of what our generation is being taught and required today. We HONORED & RESPECTED our elders and parents, no questions asked. That early training has served me well, in my nearly three quarters of a century of life. I have never regretted any of the disciplines I received. With the education available today, our current generation has no clue what & how to live a balanced successful life, raise kids and be self supporting! We even helped our NEIGHBORS. Sound familiar?
WE ARE IN TROUBLE!
 Without the adopting the values & morals stated above, and history repeating itself, we are destined to succumb to the delegation of super powers [Washington] ruling masses of people, who will not stand up for our God given privileges & rights. America has become weak, unable to fight the fight the necessary battles that are before us, unless a great HOLOCAUST transpires, and it will! If you & I aren't aware of the environment around us, and PREPARED, the words of the wise "ONLY THE FITTEST WILL SURVIVE" will pertain to each of us.
God help us. God helps ONLY those who help themselves!!!!
