Of the many wonderful pictures of
animals taken by the photographer listed above, I chose this one because
it conveyed a feeling- anger!!! This is how I "feel", when I:
See people in our country burn our flag.
Know that our government accepts "refugees" who want to destroy us and yet veterans remain homeless.
Know that Christians are ridiculed as racist and yet I see pictures of Muslims pulling down Christmas trees.
Hear about the left complaining about "possible" voter fraud, yet millions of illegals voted this year.
Continually hear negative things
about Donald Trump, a man who left a billionaire lifestyle to serve our
country without pay and endure ridicule for "MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN"
When I constantly hear the left cry
for more and more gun control and yet the city (Chicago) with the
strictest laws in the country is a killing field.
When I know that our country is TRILLIONS IN DEBT and still gives away BILLIONS to countries that HATE US.
AND THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON!!!
Then I think of the Scriptures...
Jonah 3:WEB
1 The word of Yahweh came to Jonah the second time, saying,
2 ”Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you.”
3 So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of Yahweh. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey across.
4 Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried out, and said, “In forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”
5 The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, “Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;
8 but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.
9 Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?”
10 God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn’t do it.

Jonah 4:WEB
1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
2 He prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please, Yahweh, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.
3 Therefore now, Yahweh, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.”
4 Yahweh said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
5 Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.
6 Yahweh God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine.
7 But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered.
8 It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah’s head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
9 God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?” He said, “I am right to be angry, even to death.”
10 Yahweh said, “You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night.
11 Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?”

Was Jonah's anger justified? I think
NOT!!! Why? Because God is merciful to those who repent and we should
be accept HIS WILL!!!
I wonder, am I correct in feeling
angry about the things in my list? I think I am. Again, Why? Because,
left unchecked, they will lead to the destruction of a country designed
with a view to FREEDOM and RELIGIOUS LIBERTY!!!
You be the judge!!!!
One thing is for sure-
I want that dog as my watchdog!!!
