When I saw this picture, I just knew that someday I would use it for the blog. Why? Because it says a great deal on many levels. It is: funny, truthful, imaginative, inspiring and motivational- all at the same time. We need people in our government who have the enthusiasm of this man.

Solomon said...

Ecclesiastes, Chapter 9 (World English Bible)

¹⁰ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

Those of us who are Christians could learn a lot about dedication from retired Marine Gen. James "Mad Dog" Mattis!!!

Jesus said...

John, Chapter 14 (World English Bible)

 ²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” 

  ²³ Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.   ²⁴  He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

And...

Matthew, Chapter 28  (World English Bible)

 ¹⁸ Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.  ¹⁹  Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,   ²⁰  teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

I don't know about you, but going against Jesus is far more dangerous than just going against a mere human being- even if that person has a live bear rug!!!
