Much confusion today in IT Blogwatch, as the U.S. says it’ll cede control of the Internet. Maybe. Errr, well, not just now anyway, if it’s all the same to you. Not to mention being Jackson Pollock and how to stop your neighbor stealing your WiFi……

Article IV, Sec. 5 (J) Commander-in-Chief: The governor shall be commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the state, except when they are called into service of the federal government. He may call out these forces to preserve law and order, to suppress insurrection, to repel invasion, or in other times of emergency.

This would seem to indicate that the Louisiana Guard is under the control of the Governor. However, it seems the President is able to command all State guards.

For example, music reaches something deep in all of us and that translates to our enjoyment of it. To make the case that music is for worshiping and praising God inspires some but alienates others, the latter group being our focus. To them, it can be asked of what consequence is it that you ENJOY music? The same can be said for those who either devote or regularly reserve their music for singing praises to God Almighty.

So, enjoyment of music is not the standard. The purpose of music is indeed the point. The same, of course, can be asked of our purpose with regard to sex, acts of human kindness and charity, work, rest, defense of our values and lives, etc: the entirety of our consumption.

For most of us, these deeper questions are uncomfortable because Satan has successfully instilled in us the fear of loss of our individuality. Unable to have faith that the ultimate individuality is to
devote one’s life to God, we develop our individuality for the rest of the world to see … and experience.

And just as music contains so much unnecessary negativity, so does much of our individuality as we prepare if for the eyes of strangers. But what is our purpose? To socialize, to assimilate? Without higher
purpose, we become self-promoters, hanging onto our individuality at such costs as to boggle the mind – the excessively detailed clothing of our bodies and our arguments, our misstatements of loyalty, our
confusion over the role of society, and eventually – after years of self-absorption – the diminishing of our capacity to ask the questions necessary to forge a life with God.

Given the innocence of childhood, it is difficult to say that we humans have lost our way. More likely we never knew the way. And who can blame us for giving over our lives to pleasure? There is nothing
shameful in hoping that all people come to God, to live in that perfect world. The purpose of the music, remember, is the point. But those people who have not made the journey, never had the answers. And that is also important to remember. In a way, it will require
a set of calculations for these people to figure out their potential. First, though, they must understand the need for simple addition.

We must become active in going back and relearning about the Founding Fathers– relearning about their teachings and their ideas. There is no doubt whatsoever that this nation– both in government and in education– was formed on Christian principles, illustrated both by the textbooks and the writings of the Founding Fathers.

It it sheer folly to think that we can protect our foundations when we have no idea what our foundations are.

Best to you and I have enjoyed perusal of your blog- very well done
