The "seven swans a-swimming" refers to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.*
I chuckle often when I think about how God looks at us. We puff up ourselves thinking that we have it all together or know it all and we haven't the foggiest idea of what we're doing! It is said we are only using 10 percent of our brains. Well when we connect the other 90 percent in; we'd see how stupid we really are and that God is who He says He is. I believe we could make it to the other 90 percent. However, we need to commit ourselves 100 percent to God before He gives you full access to all of your brain.
I pray that today, the Lord will help every person to realize dumb we really are and cry out to Jesus Christ.
God bless you all and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

On the Sixth Day of Christmas
The "six geese a-laying" is the six days of creation.*
I alluded to this a little on yesterday's post but want to go in a little deeper today. The biggest lie we bought into was that man has evolved from apes. To those geniuses who espouse such a farce, why are there apes still here? If we have evolved, then who was left behind? Also, if all that is a product of random chance, why is everything else ordered (seasons, days, comets passing, eclipses)? There are a million other questions that could be asked but I will take you the most logical and most realistic is that God created! So, why are people so determined to prove that God did not create? One word people: Accountability!
We in our sinful and selfish natures want complete autonomy. We want to do what we wish without consequence and God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and His word is in the way. Laws bind, not free. Laws prevent me from willingly harming my neighbor. If there is no God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit or Bible; then adulterer, fornication, incest, bestiality, homosexuality, lying, stealing, raping and murdering can go unchecked because NO ONE can challenge us. However, the sad reality is that those who reject God have failed to fully live out their lives. Because if they truly believe that there is no God to create, then there is no law to enforce or abide by and if they are driving the speed limit, then they are violating their own conscience.
I pray that today, the Lord will help every person to realize that our lives will end and when it does, we better have the Only Hope for mankind, Jesus Christ as our doorway into Heaven.
God bless you all

On the Fifth Day of Christmas
The "five golden rings" represents the first five books of the Bible, also called the Jewish Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.*
The Bible starts with these five (5) books. These are the most attacked because they talk about the origin of life and the law. The first eleven (11) chapters of Genesis have been argued to be allegorical, but that is furthest from the truth. These Books show how humanity began: formed from the hands and mind of God; show how man sinned against God (the Fall) and He showed mercy and grace despite man's foolishness. It is the beginning of the Love Story and it sets the stage for Our Lover, Jesus Christ.
I pray that today, the Lord will help every person to read the Torah and see the Only Hope for mankind, Jesus Christ who saves us from ourselves.

On the Fourth Day of Christmas
The "four calling birds" refers to the four evangelists who wrote the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John;which sing the song of salvation through Jesus Christ.*
Of the sixty-six books of the Bible, this is where a person should start, if they want to see what the Bible says about Jesus.
I pray that today, the Lord will draw every person to read the Gospels and see the Only Hope for mankind, Jesus Christ.

On the Third Day of Christmas
The "three French hens" stand for faith, hope and love; the three gifts of the Spirit that abide (1 Corinthians 13).*
None of the three (3) are a component of the human heart without God being the author. Faith is the confirmed trust in someone or something. For Christians, it is coming to the inevitable truth that Jesus is who He said He was and He did what He said He would do. It is believing in the facts (seen and unseen) that prove His case. Hope is the assured confidence in that fact that Jesus will complete what He said He would do. He would come back for He kin and bring an end to evil (the devil and his minions) in this world. Our hope is not wishful but certain and it builds as we see God's faithfulness, mercy and grace in our lives. Love, that unselfish, sacrificial love that not only says, but lives the fact that another person's life is more valuable than my own. Jesus proved it on the Cross and He gives Christians a daily opportunity to do the same unto our neighbors.
I pray that today, the Lord will assist every person living in understanding this truth and make the commitment to honor Christ with all the existence.
God bless you all

On the Second Day of Christmas
The "two turtle doves" refers to the Old and New Testaments.*
It is interesting how people will see the Old Testament as nothing but God's wrath but completely miss His enduring mercy despite the disobedience and depravity of His people. The Bible in Its entirety is replete with God's love, mercy and grace. The Bible is God's complete love letter to humanity. Many of us struggle with the concept that someone could love us this way. We've seen so much negativity in our lives that to apprehend such a love is rejected. Some also don't believe that they're deserving of such a love. To tell you the truth, none of us are, which is why this is so awesome. We were not picked because of pigment, pedigree or potential. We were pulled out of darkness because of His Amazing Love!
I pray that today, the Lord will touch the hearts of every person living and help them see how much God loves them. Even though we reject Him, His love is still available while we have breathe in our lungs.

On the First Day of Christmas
The partridge in a pear tree is Christ Jesus upon the Cross. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge because she would feign injury to decoy a predator away from her nestlings. She was even willing to die for them.
The tree is the symbol of the fall of the human race through the sin of Adam and Eve. It is also the symbol of its redemption by Jesus Christ on the tree of the Cross.*
Hence, Jesus is the Reason for the Season. I was at Target yesterday and the place was a sea of cars of people buying last minute gifts (I was there to pickup, tortilla chips, and ginger ale: making tachos). Many of us (Christians) are sad to see how commercialized this time has become. But, I know that this day is supposed to be celebrated as the day my Saviour was born so He could die for me and the rest of mankind.
I pray that today, the Lord will touch the hearts of every person living and awaken the reality, that without Jesus, were are nothing.
God bless you all

Last NEO write for 2008
I am not ending my writing, but will try not to end this year on a negative note. I am still troubled about the coming administration. And I believe we will see things never imagined in our lifetime with the next administration. I will not say "I told you so" because it will not solve anything. The the Lord allows me to survive the next administration, maybe I will be around to see a frightened and awakened America made the right decision for 2012.
So, no matter how bad the story, I will try to find the positives in it for the Twelve (12) days of Christmas. After that, who knows......
For now, MERRY CHRISTMAS (while we can still say it! LOL!)
Love yall, NEO, SOC

The Most Stupid Criminologist and Sociologist, Richard Moran
I was reading about the Adam Walsh case transformed missing kid searches when I came across the following comment from the biggest idiot who refuses to give John Walsh any credit:
Others are more hesitant to dole out credit. John Walsh's efforts, said Mount Holyoke College sociologist and criminologist Richard Moran, have made children and adults exponentially more afraid of the world.
"He ended up really producing a generation of cautious and afraid kids who view all adults and strangers as a threat to them and it made parents extremely paranoid about the safety of their children," Moran said.
What? Are you freakin' kidding me? Instead of Moran, it should be MORON!
The man woke the world up to the sad reality that people are not inherently good! It pulled many parents out of "CONDITION WHITE!" Too many parents even in this day and age are still acting in a September 10th mentality.
He did not make people more afraid, he made them AWARE! I wonder if Moron has kids? I wonder if he leaves his doors at home open when he goes to sleep. I wonder if he leaves the keys to the car in the ignition.
Hey jerkoff, post your account information and pin numbers online. Also, send me a signed letter with permission to withdraw all your assets. IDIOT!
Sociologist? Criminologist? How about Idiotologist! Laws were not created because of good people! LAWS WERE CREATED BECAUSE PEOPLE DO BAD THINGS! And the law usually is designed for the welfare of every individual to protect them from the ills of unsavory people. Come out of your bubble, idiot! And whatever school you received your education should be closed and your citizenship should be revoked because you don't exhibit any form of intelligence!

This couple did and is wondering why people are offended. The idiots even requested to have a swastika added on their son;s birthday cake in the past. Charles Manson, Saddam Hussein, Jack T. Ripper, I could go on. What if I decided to name my child some derogatory name? These people should not have been allowed to breed!

More Corruption from where? Illinois
Corruption probe in Illinois. Interesting, selling the seat that Obama had. Who would have thought you could do such a thing.
Um, duh?
There were news reports yesterday about liberals being upset with Obama's failure to come through on his cabinet appointments and other promises. I have to laugh a little here because he did exactly what any politician would do, especially an extremist like him, he lied! Instead of dealing with the rich people as he said he would, he is going to allow the "crappy" Bush policies the left has been slamming for two (2) more years. Strange...Change? No, no change and the left went so far as to say that America is about to get four (4) more years of Bushenomics.

Historial to be Histerical
I saw a news article the other day that said Bushes administration failed to put better restrictions on the housing laws back in 2005. Now this tickled me because the leftists knew that conservative (fiscally or ideologically) had shown how the economy began severely collapsing once the Democrats took control in 2006. So, what kind of article did they post next? Let's go back the year before and blame the President. Now, most of my fellow bloggers know this already, but for the rest of you:
This is only the beginning! The next administration will be rewinding the tape back to the Bush administration on every failure, every hurdle that could not be crossed. For crying out loud, on election day the left was already conceding that they may not be able to accomplish all their tasks.

By God's grace, the Democrats did not win Georgia! Praise God! I can say more but I think "Praise God!" covers it.
Sorry, I have been out for a while. My work pulls me away at times but I'm back.
