Slavs was the name given by the Greeks. The only reason the Viking of the Northmen is so engrained in our history is because they preyed on the Popes churches. Northmen were largely hunters, fishermen, explorers and traders.

I was from the Celts and we feared you guys!!!!!
but hey, you liked how our lasses sang pretty.
And YES, I admit it. I get mushy when I hear O' Danny boy, hear 'dem pipes, and see a man in a kilt.

Every time a group of Northmen ventured down south the pretty girls just couldn't help themselves, they went head over heels for those good looking fellows and jumped straight into their boats, this is why the Nordic people are the best looking people on the planet.

Pretty sure God can get who he wants elected without cheating.

So no.

Stand up for what is right.

Well y'all were forever starting trouble with other civilizations!
Why couldn't you just have fought amongst yourselves like regular people seem to do!!

That's why the girls jumped in your boat. You weren't good looking.
Just looked content is all.

Ladies value peace and tranquility.

You are the one who says you are descended from Jews, they completely wiped out other civilizations, all the Northmen did was hit a few priest with axes.

As far as ladies valuing peace and tranquility... find me one of those under 30 and ill give you a finders fee.

I'm not Jewish. That's maybe msg. Just kidding msg!!!!
Who really knows.
I don't really care so I have a bit of fun with it.
We came from Noah's loins.
We all did.
Cuz.


Gotta run.
Be safe.

There is fear and superstition today that is troubling.

You hit that nail on the head MsgRet.
Bing-Bang

I remember Michelle saying (paraphrased): "Barack knows we have to change our history, change our traditions...

Perhaps you, like we, are the traditionalists who Fear the Lord MsgRet. Like our nation's first President did. Fervently.

Perhaps you've seen General Washington's personal Bible that accompanied him into every battle at his estate museum in Mt. Vernon?
I have, and the hand written notes are incredibly deep-thinking and revering to God. He was a devout Christian man.
Much like Habakkuk however, Washington wrote often asking "Why God seemed to have abandoned the righteous in times of trouble?"

We could use another George Washington right about now.
So we trust, you'll extend those who are traditionalists a bit of grace as we pray for our nation and stand as our 1st President did: For individual liberty which comes from God.




Blessings,

If you can find a way to separate politics from any and all aspects of our lives let me know. Politics comes from the Greek (politico) which means "of the people" so it is in our nature to be political even with ourselves, families and beyond. Politics by nature is not a bad thing it is how we use this basic behavior of man. When reading the scriptures the ministry of Jesus for his 3 year ministry was almost all about politics at the street level. That is how he could communicate with those that were upset that he was not going to restore the geographical kingdom of Israel, but was ministering about the spiritual kingdome.

I pray nightly that our Individual Freedom still has a real purpose for God's Will. (I believe that is why He allowed a ragtag "army" of farmers and shopkeepers to defeat the world's Superpower a couple centuries ago).

If our Freedom still has such a purpose, we will be okay.

if not, we're screwed. (but we did it to ourselves.)

I love Christians!

Things work out their way, it's the will of God.

Things go the other way, it's the work of Satan.

Such convenient beliefs.

Jim

Mute point as Christians believe in what God wants and against what satan wants

laugh all you want, Jimmy...you can mock me. I'll wear that PROUDLY!

love you, man! (praying for you).

Just helps us make it to Heaven.

I think Christians have an appreciation for the folks who came over here fleeing religious persecution. I think we have an appreciation for the emphasis our founders and framers put on the guiding hand of God in our affairs. We have an appreciation for our holiday traditions like Thanksgiving and Christmas. We hate to see those things casually tossed aside.

When Barack Obama took office in his first term there was a palpable sense of apprehension within the Christian community about the man and his mission. Turns out that apprehension was well founded.

Their is a God as their is a devil but God let's us chose are own path . I have lived a long life and I know their is a God or I wouldnt be hear now I've faced death many times and been busted up pretty bad on several occasions so I tell it this way all my life I didn't believe in God but God has always believed in me and now in my older age I m very great full that he has The Bible is I very interesting book written thousands of years ago but it is like it was written for each reader not long ago so I believe that their are messages in it for everyone and maybe of the end of times or a new beginning

James,

You're getting a mite crusty about the rebuttals of the faithful lately.
You know, General Washington was a pillar of our nation and we respect his heritage and efforts.
Would you tear down his stature, or just smash the statues of him asking the Lord in prayer?
I personally revere the entire man.

Washington was the ranking General yet he humbled himself (and thought it an honor and blessing to do so) in the presence of the Almighty, as Washington so often called his Maker.
