Back Pocket Prophets

 

Back Pocket Prophets

     “All evidence points to…”

     Be careful of that statement.  Life is Good (LG) channel 270, DECLASSIFIED, the show’s title ‘Naked Science’ at approximately 4:46 PM Central Standard Time, on Friday, June 7th, 2024 stated,. “Mystery solved.”

     An absurd amount of money is spent on theories.  “Oh, please!  Please!  Tell me another one Grandpa as we sit around the fire.”  Stories are stories and this is the context which they should keep.  Grandpa’s eye glows with a flickering gleam as he spins another tale from his long since yesteryear when things were quite different.  If I gently lifted the geezer’s hat, would modern horns protrude through his silver hair?

     God killed false prophets.  What is He do with conjecturalists today?  Some are called scientists for lack of a better term.  I once knew a true scientist.  He wasn’t a false prophet.  He was my father-in-law.  He taught chemistry at my local community school.  See, he performed repeatable experiments to prove the elemental essence of things.  Copper wire did glow green when held over the Bunsen burner, but why?

     Archeologists cannot prove the past.  They at most can offer loose explanations to today’s wonderments.  In the king’s court, we see them heralding their dark sounds.  Even “Peace!  Peace!”  with a twisting of arms and prostration to the god Rah.  Up and down they seismically move about his chambers approaching his throne.  Seduction lies uncovered and the scene turns to a rated X movie.

     4:46 PM on a Friday afternoon.  My flat screen is about 56” inches across.  It lights up a dark corner of my living room.  If I’m not careful, it’s darkness can illuminate my young grandson’s mind.  Does he really need slithering stories of the Niagara Falls’ origin?  Men made out as realists passionately tell of their own private take on history.

     “All evidence points to… horns?”

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...

She Doesn't Tell You That You Are A Loser

She Doesn’t Tell You That You Are Loser Grace:  The incredible pink cushion between your screwed up decisions and the ramifications wrought by them. Mercy:  withholds the rod.  Grace says, “Now what?  Given you’ve gotten yourself into a marijuana muddied bowl of slime, would you like a hand up?”  She gets her hands dirty. “That’s ok, its just something I have to work through.”  And she does.  Her incredible prayer power burns a hole through overhanging clouds of gloom. My ears pierce in my usual confronting atmosphere.  An auto E.Q. does its job to focus the vibrations to the rear-view mirror.  Anger aligns my head to look straight into traffic.  Twenty minutes of a sub-woofer gets my energy out of the windshield. “Hey, you’re messing with my woman!”  We have an understanding.  She is to be under my wing.  I have violated before, running in a tangent to the graph.  I’ve learned not to overreact.  I conc...

Perhaps You Don't Know

  Perhaps You Don’t Know      Those present sat in the first pew, on the left and on the right.   The ring bearer was my faithful dorm mate.   Nearly my age and goofier to catch my sister-in-law’s eye, his antics spiced the military wedding.   We, known as a couple since high-school, were definitely going ‘steady’.   Mother-in-law held up the Panasonic cassette player to march the bride.   Proud Papa did say, “Her mother and I.”      It was a humble wedding.   A few were invited.   Even fewer braved the September roads.   The medium-sized First Christian Church of Aurora, Colorado let in the light.   Lack of air flow brought sweat under my suited armpits.   Finally, drops found their place to my forehead and I dropped to one knee.   Grandma thought I had already proposed previously.   A bit of confusion hung in the air until I stripped off my outerwear and got comfortable in the ...
