Resolving the most important question

First resolve this question in your life, "Is there a Creator, or are we simply the result of chance?"  All other questions fade in comparison.
At the heart of the collectivist's philosophy is the denial of God and they have replaced Him with their religious belief in chance and evolution.
The weight of evidence supports creation and intelligent design, yet the collectivists continue to force schools to teach the flawed and failed theory of evolution.

When we have certainty in this question, we have a foundation to build our lives upon.
To recognize that there is a Greater Power, an Intelligence, leads us to the place of humility where we can ask Him for guidance and direction in our lives.
For me, the most important commands which our Heavenly Father has given direct us to love, and Jesus taught us that the two great commands were to love God and to love our fellow man.  There is another complimentary command which Jesus gave us, and that is that we should love as He loved us, that is to say at the cost of our lives: John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

On starting a blog

Einstein once said: "The right to search for truth implies a duty, one must not conceal any part of what one recognizes to be true."
This thought has motivated me for almost 40 years, and though my beliefs have changed, my desire to share what I know has not diminished.
This blog will touch on many topics. Spiritual issues will underlie many others, because in my opinion, our spiritual nature is foundational and controls the physical side of life. Issues of preparedness, health, liberty, small scale agriculture, and analysis of the problems caused by corrupt government will comprise much of my writing.
Because I believe that beauty reflects our Creator's efforts and desiring to give glory to Him, I will post some of my photographs, hoping to give inspiration to others.
