Virgie Bell's View: Bright Light! Bright Light!

To cap everything else off about Madam Speaker, she gushes. You know, little breathy voice, with her 100-watt smile as she explained how she has single-handedly determined the solution for peace in the Middle East. What a great woman! Where was she all these years when we needed her expertise in international affairs? It has gotten to the point that I am going to need a barf bag by my chair in order to get through all of her meddling. I listened to her press conference yesterday and Ms. Pelosi was gushing about the fact that she went to all the temples, churches and mosques, and was just so thrilled with such a heady spin of worshiping, and worshiping, and worshiping. I was sitting in my chair nearly in tears to behold such a saint, but then she got to a part of this loquacious speech settled on her visit to the Mount of Olives. She shook her little head up and down when she said "You know the Mount of Olives…?" How inspiring this blessing had been to her little ole self!

Well, it just so happens that I read about the Mount of Olives recently, so let me tell you what’s there. It is a genuine tourist’s treat, a bar with little tables so one can witness this sight where twice a day, free little foody treats for the patron are served. I know, I was horrified too, and even started to post something about the fact on this blog. I seem to always be finding something that takes all the sparkle out of our dearest and most cherished beliefs. As I thought about doing that, I said to myself, “Virgie Bell, you like nothing and no one it seems, and you seem to hunt parades to rain on.” So I kept it to myself.

There is The Church of the Ascension somewhere near by. The place where Jesus rose into heaven. What you have to understand about the Holy City is that at the time of the crucifixion there was a great earthquake, the rocks were rent and day turned into night. I think right then was when the soldiers who were gambling for Christ’s cloak picked up the dice and said, “I think we may have crucified the Messiah.” I defy anyone to find a rock anywhere on this earth that is not split.

I am sure that it is where the fault lines run beneath the oceans which cause earthquakes. Now the science community will disagree with me. The greatest scientist that ever lived put it this way. "It is not the miracles which make one believe in God; it is that the universe follows such a strict law of nature that I am in awe of this.” He went on to say “this was not a god that rolled the dice. This was a master that laid down a perfect law of nature." This from the smartest man who ever lived. It puts a new emphasis on the Beginning and I intend to run every reference contained therein, and to do the original translation. I have always wondered why Christ said “not to call him good, because only his Father in Heaven is good.” If I hadn’t read the report on Einstein's beliefs, I would never have known where to start. I am a dunce in math and science. A gifted reader might have thought "start at the Beginning". That is why I believe that God’s Word is revealed to us. You may ask questions for a year and then you think, yeah, that’s it … that’s right. So you see that the Speaker of the House really makes me want to throw up. She is such a jerk! SUPPORT THE TROOPS!
