Deer Cuzzin Val:
Hat’s off to yore guv’ner Brian

had a guv like Kemp here in ol’
Virginney but the liberals in
Northern Va. are currently in
the driver's seat. Guv “Rotten

keep us shackled fer the fore
seeable future or until they can

Dear Editor:
“The LORD seeth NOT as
man seeth, for man looketh on
the outward appearance, but
the LORD Looketh on the
heart.” (I Samuel 16:7)
The foregoing text of script ure
reveals to us the words spoken
by God to Samuel when Samuel
went to Bethlehem to anoint
one of the sons of Jesse to be
king of Israel. As Samuel
looked at the sons of Jesse, one
of them, Eliab, was of such a
striking physical appearance
that Samuel thought immedi
ately that Eliab w as surely the
one to be chosen and he ex
pressed these thoughts. How
ever, God did not agree with
this choice and let Samuel
know this in no uncertain
terms by saving “I HAVE RE
FUSED HIM.” This lets us
know then that God has infi
nitely greater vision than we
have because He has the power
to read the heart, an ability no
human being has.
Another text that reinforces
this truth is found in Isaiah
55:8 & 9: “For My thoughts are
not your thoughts, neither are
your ways My ways saith the
LORD, For as the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are
my ways higher than your
ways, and My thoughts than
your thoughts.” GOD DOES
NOT THINK LIKE MAN!
1 often think, “What if some
human had been given the task
of choosing Christ’s twelve dis
ciples? Well, I readily come to
the conclusion that none of
them (except perhaps Judas)
would have been the same ones
that Christ chose, because in
our estimation of things, none
would have met our standards

My nayber sed she’d used so
much bleach an’ Lysol an’ sech

Take care an' stay away from

for everyone afflicted by it. But
don’t succumb to fear & panic;
more people will suffer from
fear than the virus itself. Prac

they’re after YOU..,Prez.
Trump just happens to be in
their way!
YORE CUZZIN BOB
In Of Virginney
bob by 1 e cma y@y a h oo, com
of qualification - educationally,
socially, morally nor spiritually.
I THANK GOD THAT CHRIST
DID THE CHOOSING and not
man.
I often marvel at the fact, that
among Christ’s earthly ances
tors there were two heathen
women, and one was a prosti
tute. Those familiar w ith scrip
tures remember the story of the
fall of Jerico during the days of
Joshua. When God overthrew
the city, every citizen of Jericho
was killed except those who
w T ere gathered at the home of
Rahab, a harlot who was raised
among a city of heathens but,
in whose heart, God saw some
thing special, and as w r e read
the ancestry of Christ in Mat
thew 1:5, particular note is
made of Rahab being a part of
Christ’s Earthly parentage.
Also, we see in Christ’s earthly
ancestry, the name of Ruth, a
Moabitcss (another heathen
woman), in whose heart God
saw a truly godly woman
though raised among heathens,
and whose position is also at
tested to in Matthew' 1:5.
Societal standing, educational
achievement, possession of
great earthly wealth, political
station, immense worldly popu
larity, while in and of them
selves are not bad things, they
are by no means the criteria
upon which God makes His
judgement, because He does
not look at the “outward ap
pearance, but God looks on the
heart." This being the case, we
can then say like Peter in Acts
10:34, “Of a truth I perceive
that GOD IS NO RESPECTER
OF PERSONS.”

Dear Editor:
Deuteronomy 28:1 ASV, “Je
hovah will make thee the head,
and not the tail; and thou shalt
he above all, and thou shalt not
he beneath; On the other hand,
if thou shalt not hearken unto
the commandments of Jehovah
thy God, which I command thee
this day,” 28:44, “the foreigner
shall lend to thee, and thou
shalt not lend to him: he shall
be the head, and thou shalt be
the tail.
America's Founders, including
those who tied from a nation
that had basically enslaved
them, to Plymouth Rock, had a
vision, of a country where they
and their posterity could be
free, having the right to liberty,
unlike many of their posterity
of today and the foreigners liv
ing among them.
The wording of the U.S. Con
stitution is witness enough that
many today have adopted a for
eign mentality, w hich is in op
position to the doctrine of lib
erty, written into the U.S. Con
stitution by America’s Found
ers.
The adopting of the foreign
mentality by many of the citi
zens known as the modern One
Nation Under God has led
many to fight against the lib
erty of their own posterity,
Might America be following in
the footsteps of an ancient na
tion known as One Nation of
God, that being the nation Is
rael, who bowed down not to a
monkey, hut to a golden calf,
and rejected God who had
blessed them so much?
Because of doing so, Israel lost
her status as the head nation.
Will America fare any differ
ently, because of doing the
same?
Many Americans agreed with
kicking God out of America’s
public schools in 1963 and re
placing Him with the state
mandated monkey business,
mandated Evolution Curricu
lum.
After bowing down to the im
age of a monkey, many of
America’s Founders’ posterity
no longer fought for liberty tor
their posterity as their ances
tors fought lor theirs, but fight
in the courts of law, denying
their posterity’s right to life and
liberty, resulting in nearly 70
million, including black lives
too, losing their liberty.
As the old idiom states, there
is a consequence for every ac
tion.
Choosing to bow down to a
false god, as many of the pos
terity of America’s Founders
have chosen to do, resulted in
the U.S, BecomingA DEBTOR
NATION, reported by Peter T.
Kilborn, Special to The New
York Times, Sept. 17, 1985.
Remember, there are three in
Heaven that bear witness to
the sanctity of life. 1 John 5:7.
The Father, the Word, and the
Holy Ghost: and these three are
one.
Remember that there are
three on Earth that bear wit
ness to the sanctity oflife. The
Constitution of Liberty, signed
into law by America's Founding
Fathers, the Republican Plat
form that states, even the life
in the womb has a right to life,
and then the Word of God, the
Bible, that is a witness to that
fact.
Then, there is the odd man
out, that being the Pro-choice
Party, Democrat Party, whose
platform basically states, a
woman has a right to deny the
posterity in her womb life and
liberty.
I don’t know about all who
read this article, but my vote
will be a ’witness that I support
the Pro-life Platform of the One
who gave me life and any and
all who support that platform,
revealing, as Donnie Swaggart
said in a round table discus
sion, anyone who is a real
Christian, who hears fruits
worthy of repentance, in no
way could vote for nor support
the anti-life platform of the
Democrat Party, because if they
did so, they would be in oppo
sition to God, the God of Life.
