Creation shouts, 'God." There is no study of science, philosophy, theology, or any area of inquiry that "threatens Him" into submission ... or nonexistence. Indeed, He welcomes all honest inquiry into any realm - and stands ready to address all objections and contrarians. "Put Me into remembrance; let us argue our case together. State your cause, that you may be proved right" (Isa 43:26). Psalm 19, the basis of my song, first presents general revelation of God's existence, then revealed revelation of His will and expectations, followed by personal response of the convince party. What a piece of literature. Amazing.

Here's the song:

General revelation, then revealed revelation followed by sane personal response ... what a Psalm! And to let me put it to music - and throw in some of my own little quips .... I am sure I have no real idea how great of an honor this truly is.

So, ... does a Christian have to spiritualize everything? The song, "All Day" is the only song I have written since becoming a Christian that does not actually mention God at all (out of 178 ... plus a bunch of partial songs).
So, let's discuss the lyrics to this one - about children :)

Every governing structure, over any group, has laws (which is some sort of value) that comes down from it. It is like an umbrella over the people and establishes boundaries for what is deemed right or wrong, acceptable or unacceptable, "in-bounds" or "out-of-bounds". Who sets these - which for this video means - whose values are in that umbrella that then descends on all those under that jurisdiction? You will discover here what makes the Republic of the United States an indeed grand experiment in governance.

Mount Zion "in the far north, the city of the great King" (Ps 48:1-2). Where is it? What is it? Who gets to go there? The commentary on the lyrics (below) will explore this. If this is unfamiliar territory - well, here's your start!

Photo 1: Winter snow covered path in back property, Bowling Green, KY. a cold path with no traffic.
Photo 2: Now trafficked cold path. When we start searching for God, we still have a cold, hard heart ... but we now start a journey for an out ... rather than stay still and freeze to death. Which way? who knows ... but I am not staying here. The search is on!
Photo 3: Me on the way - gotta head "north."
Photo 4: Garret Hunt and me - heading "north" with great expectation ... maybe Mt Zion around the next bend (I am spiritualizing all this in case you don't know :).
Photo 5: Claire Hunt on the way too. Not always a straight path to get to Zion!
Photo 6: Come on, Garrett! Time to get up and go. Nothing here in Egypt.

We all are on our own path - that is heading somewhere. Is there just aimlessness - or can there be aim?

Sometimes He carries us through our more challenging seasons, but sometimes we can muster up determination to do things that serve us as we soldier on. Victimhood is a poor look for any Christian. There really is no place for it - and this song gives some reasons why.

WHEN: Originally somewhere between November of 1981 and April of 1982 . Edited some in November 2023.
WHERE: Whitworth Bible College Brookhaven, MS
WHY: This was one of my two most difficult seasons as a Christian. I must have latched on to this Psalm at that time and then music came that I put to it. This was song 90.

Is it possible unity can be achieved in this area of immense differences? The answer is a resounding, "Yes!" - but probably not in the way you might be thinking. And this can even be worldwide with each country maintaining its own sovereignty.

So what does the Declaration of Independence (1776), Original Constitution (1787), Bill of Rights (1791) and subsequent Ammendments say about religion and race? Did this government construct create a Christian nation? Did the Founders establish a white nation? Let's talk governance!

This was originally published probably December 2021, maybe January 2022. I had to re-load in Nov 2022 because it would not load from BitChute any longer.

Why did the domestic government of the United States entirely collapse before a very small leftist faction? Listen ... and you will learn this is just the latest in a systematic betrayal by one group - Congress. Overspending, Bureaucracies, Judicial Tyranny, Executive Branch Overreach, and now the coup - Congress was the heart of the problem. Now ... they are just a joke. A death joke - but a joke nonetheless.

This was originally published probably December 2021. I had to re-load in Nov 2022 because it would not load from BitChute any longer.

Sometimes reforms are nice. Sometimes they are pretty important. Sometimes ... they are absolutely critical. The material presented here falls into this last category. Listen, learn, live!

This was originally published probably October 2021. I had to re-load in Nov 2022 because it would not load from BitChute any longer.

Before I can get to the primary point of public unions - a poison to our Republic - an outline of union origins (which started in the private sector) is in order. As a bit of an aside, I address bailouts and tie in our governments further failings in regard to the workplace. It is truly amazing how ignorant and corrupted our governing officials have been and are in area after area. This is just one.
This was originally published probably September 2021. I had to re-load in Nov 2022 because it would not load from BitChute any longer.

So, who is at fault for the current crisis n the USA ... citizens who are asleep? If you watch this, you will never see the political class the same. Here is the real wake-up call. Help me flesh this out!

This was originally published probably August 2021. I had to re-load in Nov 2022 because it would not load from BitChute any longer.

The Supreme Court of the United States is a lawless bunch - regularly ruling in an unconstitutional manor. I discuss three main Constitutional principles they violate - and it is habit now. But, in the 2020 election coup, they exposed and defiled themselves in an unrecoverable way.

So what are some of the dynamics of a military being under civilian control - with the elected president being its actual commander? How is this possible? And how does that relate to the current crisis - the coup - that has occurred in the USA? This video just scratches the surface of what I wanted to say ... but I hope long enough to convey my main points ... yet, short enough to be watched!

While our Founders varied widely in many areas of the specifics in our Constitution, I do think there were some generally well agreed to basics of philosophy for governance. I briefly discuss seven (7) of these. These have been strayed from in varying degrees - and this has been a huge reason we are in the current crisis. If we survive this, there are some necessary reforms I will be proposing in future videos. I am sure there are more basic assumptions I may have missed, but we can start with these seven. :)

So what are the basic elements of a Constitutional Republic governing system? That is worth a common sense review ... as well as exposing a basic flaw that has been part of such a governance form from inception. Future videos will present some reforms that I think can help. But you first must accurately define a problem before you start seeking possible ways to strengthen a weakness - or correct a flaw. So, watch and think! this will lay some foundations for coming proposed reforms. God help us all.

I spend most of my free time working on Bible centered articles and ebooks and also recording original songs (with commentaries on each one). But, I have also been politically aware and active from early in life to the present. The Constitutional Republic of the USA has been the best of all the flawed governing systems, but it's flaws, some inherent from our founding, I hope will not now prove fatal.
If we are granted reprieve from the current coup, deep and overdue reforms may be truly discussed, hammered out and enacted. This current crisis, if survived, may be the catalyst needed to rethink some of the flaws in this experiment of governance.
I am hoping to add to this reformation as I believe I have some valid contributions on several areas - some being quite novel.
"Talking Governance" - seeks to address some of the flaws of this Constitutional Republic - to reform and strengthen it.
It is also my hope that other nations can learn both our positives and avoid our errors in their respective governing systems.
So, may the Lord help me get about twenty of these done ..."Talking Governance."
