True Love
I asked our Bible class teacher as we were discussing marriage, "I know people who are not Christian, yet they have an excellent marriage. How can this be?"
"You don't have to be a Christian to follow Godly principles. The better you follow those principles, the better your marriage, (and your life) will be."
The course of true love, so they say, never runs true. Neither does history. Three game changer happenings came about in the 1800s. Horace Mann's ideology on public schooling in 1838, Karl Marx Communist Manifesto in 1848, and Darwin's evolution theory in 1859.
Intertwined with the Civil War, several Depressions, World War I and II, and the Great Depression. All of these set back the steady growth of big government and its usurping the rights of the citizens.
It set it back, but didn't stop that creeping agenda. And it crushed most opposing obstacles in it's way. Horace Mann's public schooling marched school children to school in front of military troops with firearms. Parents had to sneak into the schools to get them out.
Several countries fought Karl Marx's Communists, with horrendous results. Darwin's evolution theory created a controversy that still lasts today.
Pretending to be settled science with no evidence what so ever only theory. It has taught that either there is no God, or it has minimalized His being to a mere disinterested old man.
None of those things made a difference when I was in my twenties and thirties. What I could witness with my own eyes, felt with my mind, and weighed by my understanding of what God told me, those were the important items.
God was important to Old Fuzzy and I, and we were told to love and nurture our own children. I didn't realize there was a problem sending our children to a public school. We had been raised that way.
When my sister and I had lived with our mom she was a warrior that was involved in our schooling. In second grade they told her I needed remedial something. She told them she had a friend, a specialist. Before they did anything she would have me tested with her specialist...
That was the end of their remedial idea. Apparently schools were beginning to get extra money for 'special needs' education, and schools were looking for people to slap in their classes. What better way than for a recently divorced single mother's child? My mother could be difficult, probably why she was divorced...
They tried that again in the smaller school I attended where my grandparents lived. The problem was although the traumas life had dealt me had fashioned me into a difficult child, I was not mentally deficient—just difficult.
Malachi 3:1 "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts."
