I have always been a fan of Gandy Goose, but it has been years since I have seen any of these cartoons. Now a few can be found on YouTube. Just thought I would share this one.

The Seventh Seal
This is the latest video produced by decop1 on the book of Revelation. In chapter 8 the seventh seal is opened, and seven angel with seven trumpets appear before God’s throne.
As each angel blows his trumpet, God’s wrath is poured on a world which has sworn allegiance for the Anti-Christ.
The first four trumpets are recorded in chapter 8.
First Trumpet-One third of vegetation destroyed.
Second Trumpet-One third of the sea becomes blood.
Third Trumpet-The falling star Wormwood
Forth Trumpet-the sun, moon, and star are smitten.
As stated before I think these videos are excellent illustration, and help me to visualize what the Apostle John saw on Patmos.

Little Kings Are Not the Answer
The last few years I have stated that hope cannot be found in political leadership. I used references in the Bible where the kings led Israel into division and captivity. Many called me a liar when I stated that our Founding Fathers believed in God. Then I read “Common Sense,” by Thomas Paine, and discovered that I was not liar. Thomas Paine made the reference about Israel’s mistake in seeking a human king.
In other articles I talked about how world empires were built , and how they had total disrespect for God. This can be found in Genesis before and after the Great Flood. All through the ages people have sought dependence through kingdoms, principalities and governments.
Once upon a time America was unique, and not like other nations. People were taught to be self-reliant, and that dependence upon society was not a good thing. Sadly things started to change with Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Their leadership fundamentally transformed America. The cartoon below is example of the mindset that was established in the last century.
Don’t get me wrong I am a fan of the “Little King" comic strips and cartoons. They are truly great works of art. I just don’t agree with the ending. All I can say is where do these people go once the gift of food has been eaten, and they become hungry once again?
Little kings are not the answer.

What Easter Means to Me
This week has been a very trying time for myself. Last Thursday I had a bone graph done on my gums, and have been on medication ever since. This has slowed me down, but I wanted to share with everyone what Easter means to me.
When thinking about Easter, I picture a tomb where the stone has been rolled away. The sun is shinning, the sky is blue, and the birds are singing. Hope fills the air. Despite all the hardships that we face in the world, we have a Savior who defeated death and hell. He lives today in the glory of heaven.
One day he will return, and take those who have accepted him as their personal Savior. Our political leaders, our clergymen, and even loved ones may fail us at times. Also we may let down those who loves us. Just remember Christ has never let mankind down. The empty tomb, where the stone has been rolled away, proves he never fails.
Have a Great Easter!
