Have you ever been in a situation where you are focused so intently on your every move that you loose focus on the overall purpose of what you are doing A good example of this is using a GPS system for deciding which way to go. Example: You are in a boat on a large body of water (a lake) in a dense fog. The lake has a number of islands, a shipping channel, some dangerous shallows, and is known for sudden storms. Knowing all of this you have equipped your boat with the latest electronics. What this gives you is the confidence that you can navigate safely under even the most difficult conditions. As you leave the harbor you hit the button to record your “track” insuring that you will have a map drawn on your screen that will record your every move enabling you to retrace your steps if you choose or take a more direct route back to the harbor no matter what the visibility is. All of the islands are marked on your map as well as the other dangers so you proceed with the confidence that your only concern will be if the fish are biting. A few hours later it is time to head back in. Everything has gone quite well, you have made your way around the islands, avoided the shipping traffic, and had saved your path back to the launch. It’s a simple matter of following the “path” back to where you started. So you put the boat in motion set your course, and “zoom in” so that you can stay “right on” the line you came out on knowing that is a safe route. Unknowingly you have created a situation that could put you in a very bad spot. Because the GPS relies on satellite signals, there is a delay that varies, and with the movement of the boat it can get a little confusing. Going slow (bad visibility) and the slight delay in GPS signals makes it tough to stay on course. You will end up going in circles trying to stay on line because you are too focused on where you are instead of where you are going. Frustration and apprehension builds even though you have all the tools and information needed to prevent it. What is the answer? BACK AWAY………..zoom out…….. take a look at the larger picture of where you are headed instead of where you are. That is just the opposite of your inclination to stay right on track or at least as close as possible. The “whole picture” makes it much easier to reach your destination safely.

This example couldn’t be better for finding what way to go in a lot of situations. If you take the where we are with our national problems, our social problems, and our moral problems, and accepting “little” changes to whats acceptable, it might help if we take a look at the larger picture of the things we face. Trying to ensure that everyone accept everyone regardless of how weird, unnatural, immoral, repugnant, or even illegal, their actions and thoughts might be is a fools errand. That is not to say that I am trying to tell anyone how to live their lives. I am just unwilling to be told that I have to accept all of any bodies thoughts or actions as “NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE”. These “different” lifestyles are permitted under our system of governing and local laws, but to get in my face and try to make me agree that a man is a woman, a cat is a dog, or any other such nonsense is just not going to happen! Then to hear a Supreme Court nominee say she can’t say what a woman is, or a Senator say that this candidate is “supremely qualified” because of her views???????………….. where is the rabbit hole and where is Alice. People are cowed into accepting “chosen” behaviors as “normal” when in reality these behaviors represent a very small minority. If that isn’t bad enough schools are now teaching that there is “NO MORAL STANDARD” to be adhered to! They have made available, pornographic material in school libraries that would get a person arrested for if they gave it to kids on the street. School boards, or someone should be held accountable for this abusive behavior. With what has been taught to my sixteen year old grand daughter, at school, she is of the belief that 80% to 90% of the girls in her school are lesbians. What can be more destructive to a society than that? Do as you will, and are willing to answer for, but don’t try to adjust society to fit whatever YOU THINK should be viewed as normal. That is just La La land.

WE ARE A CHRISTIAN NATION FOUNDED ON JUDEO CHRISTIAN VALUES!!!! Without that compass as a Nation we will be chasing our tails in a tight self destructive circle like a zoomed in GPS. It is past time to back out a little and look at the larger picture. People can live their lives as they choose, but to change our nations moral direction for the sake of accommodating every perversion, just to be “fair”, is self destructive behavior. We have, and do survive as a nation by the Grace of God! Good and Evil are the driving forces. Try to keep that in mind when trying to decide on what YOU are willing to accept as normal and of value. You are guilty of nothing for thinking that weird is weird and unnatural is unnatural. From a tree stand or an ice shanty somewhere it’s ………. Dave of the Woods
