“And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying, Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?”

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

Quirky Bill — Pinocchio, Democrats and the Lying Donkey

Wow! Imagine that! Now is this not the strangest coincidence, or what?! Different experiences, but the very same end result! Am I on to something?

The truth has been in front of our eyes all along. Even Walt Disney apparently knew and tried to drop us a hint. 🙂

Seriously. Those deceptive Democrats should just listen to the Spirit of God and tell the truth, just as Pinocchio should have listened to Jiminy Cricket and kept himself out of all of that trouble.

😂 😆 😀 🤣

TIN SOLDIERS

by Bill Kochman

See little tin soldiers standing in a row,
Called up for duty, and then off they go.
No, don’t question, do as you are told,
Just accept the lies you have been sold.

You’re required to blend in with the fold,
Don’t even try to break out of the mold.
Trained not to think, follow every order,
When the word is given, fire that mortar.

Harden your heart, and resist the pain,
Otherwise, you will no doubt go insane.
Time to go home now, your job is done,
A lot of blood spilled, but a war was won.

You are a big hero, they all now exclaim,
But yet deep inside, you still feel blame.
You remember many innocent lives lost,
And you question, was it worth the cost?

So many wars have been based on a lie,
Yet we never learn, and people still die.
