He is Risen. He is Risen Indeed.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Happy Easter!

Daylight Saving Time

Set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to sleep tonight. It’s Daylight Saving Time. clock

Of course, if you’re up, you can set them to 3:00 am when the clock strikes 2:00 am.

Many clocks in your home will change automatically, the cordless phones, the cable boxes, computers.

Don’t forget your programmable thermostats, microwaves, stoves, coffee pots and other appliances when changing the clocks.

Don’t forget your vehicle too.

Change your clocks and you won’t be an hour early to church.

 

Now is also a good time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Spring is just around the corner!

Hugo Chavez is Dead

My prayers go out to his family. They are dealing with a great loss. The loss of a family member is hard.

Way back on September 20, 2006 I actually scooped the Associated Press on this story:

Chavez Recommends Chomsky – Calls Bush ‘The devil’

I happened to be watching the news, and it was showing Chavez speaking at the U.N. Then I heard him recommending Chomsky. That piqued my interest. So I backed it up on TiVo, hit the record button, and started transcribing.

I think that the first people who should read this book are our brothers and sisters in the United States because their threat is in their own house. The devil is right at home. The devil, the devil himself is right in the house. And the devil came here yesterday. Yesterday the devil came here. Right here. (crosses himself) Right here. And it smells of sulfur still today. This table that I am now standing in front of, yesterday ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the President of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as ‘the devil’ came here talking as if he owned the world. Truly as the owner of the world. I think we can call a psychiatrist to analyze yesterday’s statement made by the President of the United States. As the spokesman of imperialism he came to share his nostrums. To try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world. An Alfred Hitchcock movie could use it as a scenario. I would even propose a title, ‘The Devil’s Recipe’.

As Chomsky says here clearly and in depth, the American Empire is doing all it can to consolidate its hegemonistic system of domination and we can not allow them to do that. We can not allow a world dictatorship to be consolidated.

I pray for the Venezuelan people, that they get a leader who’s first for them, not him or herself. Someone who won’t steal private property and make it “public” property. Someone who will develop policies that benefit the people while not being “benefits” that someone else has to pay for.
