What Papa “J” has to say! #31

Christmas on Holiday; which is it? If you say Christmas… do you think of Santa Clause the myth; or if you say Holiday… do you think of Jesus Christ the Truth. The Holiest Day of the Year is the Celebrated Birthday of Jesus, the Son of the LIVING God.

The Devotional

Uniformity is lost in most legal tribunals these days. Oh this does not mean that foundation of the criminal justice system within the walls of our courts are corrupt; but it does mean that the persons who are assigned to protect life and liberty, use the rules of interpretation with methods that resemble the dress code of our day. Pants that are purposely placed below the waste and drag behind like a shredded rag at the feet. I read recently in a publication. That the link between biblical law and the root of American judicial practice is still intact. In 1988 the Supreme Court of Mississippi confronted a criminal trial record where the prosecutor had made argument to the jury for which he had absolutely no evidence. The court prosecuted the attorney as the Supreme Court said that the attorney had the right to advance a rebuttal in closing argument, but did not have the right to break the Ninth Commandment. “Thou shall not bear false witness…’ Exodus 20:16.” Since this foundation is still in place, there is hope for America… so young people – stop dragging your feet!

ECCLESIASTES 5

Ecclesiastes 5:13-17 – Lets talk a little more about the abundance of man and his desire to take it with him… wherever he goes. I once heard of a wealthy man who knew he was about to die. The story maybe true or false, but makes little difference since the man died. Before his death he explained to his wife that he wanted to be buried in his Cadillac and that he wanted his fortune to be buried with him too.

His wife was faithful in his every desire just as she had been all her wedded life. As his final days approached he made her promise again and again to carry out his wishes. Together they worked out the details of a funeral that included the Cadillac and someone to drive it to the big hole in the commentary. They even had the banks standing by with armored trucks to carry his fortune to the sight for burial with him.

On the day of his funeral all was in place, the car was placed in the hole; the wife had called the banks earlier that morning and stated that the armored cars would not be needed, but that her husband’s wish would be fulfilled. One curious banker popped the question. “How is that”? “Well” she said! “I decided to write him out a check for the whole amount of his fortune and tossed it into the car before it is lowered into the ground.”
