    I Had A Dream

    As I sit at my desk, today, February 1, 2021, at 3:15 AM (I have a sleep disorder that gets me up early in the morning.) I am reflecting on a dream that I had last night. As I reflect on it I believe that there is a message in that dream that it would be of value to share. First, I will digress a bit: In my construct of dreams, they are the product of an uninhibited brain that is unbridled by elements of rational thought. I have heard of people who seemingly have received a dream from God. I have never considered myself to have received such. I do not believe that my dream came from God. But, I am a reflective person. In the 80 years of my life journey, there have been times when I have gone through some struggles, which have included struggles of faith. At times those struggles have included consequences of my own stupidity, and inappropriate decisions. Those consequences did not come because God caused them. I was the cause. I was responsible. But, in reflecting on those times, I have seen that God was with me. God did not desert me Rather God walked along the path that I had chosen and sustained me in my spiritual journey back to faith. It is from that perspective that I approach the dream that I had last night. It is not that my dream came from God. Rather it is that in my irrational dream is a message of hope and of peace. In my dream, it was a stormy night. The wind and the rain were great. Floods and mud slides were expected. Roads were expected to be washed out. But, it was a moment of quiet. The winds and rain had stopped. I felt a need to go out and about, for some unknown call to do ministry. I do not know what that was about. My wife objected as she considered it to be dangerous. But, I went to our car and began to drive along the mountain roads. Where I was going, and why, was not an element of my dream. Well, a massive storm arose. The winds and rains came. A flood of water washed out the road on which I was driving and carried me off, down the mountain side, to where I do not know. Finally I was deposited safe and sound in a place that I recognized. I drove home to rejoin my wife. I say again, I consider my dream to be the product of my unbridled mind that was not bound by rational standards of thought. But, I am reflective. The message of that dream to me is that God will accompany me through the life journey that I must take, regardless of whether or not my choices were appropriate. The message that I have to give to you is: Regardless of where your walk in life takes you, regardless of the spiritual journey that you take, God accompanies you and will sustain you. Do not give up the faith.

    Biden Kills Up to 70,000 Jobs on First Day in Office

    Pollak: Biden Kills Up to 70,000 Jobs on First Day in Office (breitbart.com) To bad that includes those that did not vote for Biden because of these very issues President Joe Biden’s first day in office may have been historic in more ways than one: he may have set a single-day record for the number of jobs killed by an American president. Biden revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, as promised. In so doing, he killed some 11,000 direct jobs that the pipeline’s construction was to have created, and an estimated 60,000 indirect jobs in secondary, related industries. Over 1,000 workers already on the job — mostly union workers — will be laid off as a result of the decision, even if it is litigated, as many expect it will be, in the courts. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) confronted Secretary of Transportation nominee Pete Buttigieg over the Keystone XL decision on Thursday morning, during Buttigieg’s confirmation hearing. If the administration was serious about infrastructure, Cruz asked, why was it killing an infrastructure project with “good, paying union jobs”? When Buttigieg said the idea was that “net” jobs created in more climate-friendly industries would be positive, Cruz retorted that that was little comfort to the Keystone XL workers who were being laid off: “So for those workers, the answer is somebody else will get a job?” The Association of Oil Pipe Lines complained, as did the United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters — though the union may only have itself to blame: it endorsed Biden in August, after he had promised to kill the pipeline in May. Biden also halted the construction of the border wall on the U.S.-Mexico boundary on Wednesday. While the projections for jobs there are somewhat unclear, one analysis (by an opponent of the wall) in 2017 estimated that the wall, if fully constructed, would create 10,500 jobs. Moreover, on Thursday, the Biden Administration announced that it had suspended oil and gas permits on federal land Wednesday. It is unclear how many jobs that will cost — but the outlook is not good. Most presidents promise to create jobs. Biden killed up to 70,000 jobs in his first 24 hours — and the true total may be even higher. Joel B.

    There is a growing number of "regret voters" who wish they hadn't voted for Biden. There are two unions who supported Biden and got the rug pulled out from under them on the Keystone cancellation. As the country continues to go down the tubes, the stolen election will grow more and more a concern in the mind of many in the public. Of course, there are the true believers who will always hate Trump, America, and God's law.

    Anyone wanna see another Solyndra?! The number of "regret' voters is growing daily as the damage to the country is growing with little more than a week in office. It is amazing how stupid people can be sometimes. When will people ever learn that actions (elections) have consequences!

    You think Biden is bad? Just wait until he is removed from the presidency because of senility or the 25 Amendment; and Harris is President. Then we'll truly see how screwed up things can be. Look at the increases in the prices of silver and gold since election day. Wild gains in the prices of precious metals is almost always a sign of increasing uncertainty about the economy and the value of the dollar.

    At least China should be happy . 70% of solar panels are manufactured in China. Not sure how that will help our unemployed from the pipelines but it should make the Biden's more popular in China than ever. I wonder if those that voted Biden out of this blind unhinged hatred for Trump feel a sense of relief that China might like us again?
