Jenkins, Jr. charged with seatbelt violation. However, there is a phil- osophical schism between politics and Christianity. The faith speaks of the spiritual and the everlast- ing. The Holy Spirit works to change the stony heart of man into malleable flesh that can be sharpen to love its fellow man. The longing of the spiritual man is for the kingdoms of man to be overthrown by the everlast- ing Kingdom of God! " By the political use of law and coercion, rulers seek to curtail what it [govern- ment] has identified as det- rimental to public good. It seeks to create a "Heaven on Earth" that will convert the stony heart of man in- to a desire to seek social justice. Examine the Preamble to The Constitution of the United States. Nowhere does it state the framers are attempting to enact Government for the ad- vancement of the Kingdom of God. Neither God nor Christ Jesus is mentioned as a foundational document to look towards as a model. In effect, wherever a Christian stands on the political spectrum is more of a statement of what he/ she thinks a real Christian should stand for, than how a Christian should live. If some consider me a right-wing or a conserva- tive, it is a coincidence and not the purpose. The po- litical will ask for my sup- port and financial contribu- tions, and deep down I will know they are fair-weather friends. But with Jesus, as John- ny Cash sang six decades ago [1958], "When I'm sick, He's there, and trou- bled He's there, When I'm burdened with a load, That's when Jesus is a com- forter to my soul." The political may scorn you and will turn its back on you, but for me, I've got Jesus, and that's enough. Think about it. Continued from page 10 JESUS I love meat and I have been puzzled why many of us love to eat steaks, ham- burgers, pork and the like. And I am not inclined to give them up. So as I read more about this matter, I think it is fine to consume in real moderation animal meat and substitute more fish meat if cravings for an- imal meat grabs us. Nowadays in the name of economics, it is harder to find naturally raised an- imals, because that's the direction our culture has gone. Here's another princi- ple the author mentioned. I have heard lectures on this matter by many scien- tists in the Western world and it concurs with the Eastern traditional medi- cine. Here it is- many cen- tenarians ate less than the average amount, some fast- ed either by reason of disci- pline or just due to econom- ics. Many follow the princi- ples only eating until they are three-fourths full. I don't like to hear that. Because when I go to res- taurants that says "Eat All You Can" or the buf- fet section has 12 sections to choose from, there is a small voice that whispers to me: "Get your money back." Truthfully- through the years, I have done well to control my impulse not to stuff myself and practice what I preach. Very hard to do. Next time- I'll share the author's ideas about sleep, stress, unhealthy habits, unhealthy vices, exercise and balance of life as seen from the eyes of an Eastern health expert. • • • Wisdom of the week: Moderation in all things lead to long life. Read Prov- erbs 25:26 -28 Humor of the week: Here's the law in relation- ships: There's Son in law, Daughter in law, Father in law, Sister in law. But moth- er is the law. Have a great week. A note of gratitude: We will be celebrating Veter- ans Day November 11,2019. To All those who have served our Country in ev- ery capacity to defend and maintain our freedom, we cannot thank you enough. We owe so much to all your faithful service and sacri- fices. God bless you all. Continued from page 10 LONGEVITY Continued from page 10 DEAD debating whether teach- ers should be armed. Americans who call for stricter and stricter gun control know that getting rid of rifles will do little or nothing for the nation's ho- micide rate. Their calls for more restrictive gun laws are part of a larger strat- egy to outlaw gun owner- ship altogether. You have to wonder what these peo- ple have in store for us when they've eliminated our means to defend our- selves. Venezuela dictator Nico- las Maduro banned pri- vate gun ownership in 2012. The result is that Venezuelans had no way to protect themselves from criminals and government troops who preyed upon them. A fter Fidel Castro's demand for gun confisca- tion, he said, "Armas para que? " ("Guns, for what? ") Cubans later found out. Walter E. Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University. Continued from page 10 DECLINE the only way, and President Trump is doing it. Many were killed on their side. On our side, only one military dog sustained serious injury. Let's follow Graham's ad- vice here also: Let's pray for the dog.
