Lyrics:
Now Daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along
Everyone that knew him knew which side that he'd be on
He never was a hero, or this county's shinin' light
But you could always find him standing up
For what he thought was right
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
Now we might have been better off or owned a bigger house
If Daddy had done more givin' in or a little more backing down
But we always had plenty just living his advice
Whatever you do today you'll have to sleep with tonight

I just heard this song recently after my husband got demoted at work. He was doing great in his new role until his superiors literally told him that he needed to start lying to customers and selling them things that they didn't need so the company could meet their sales quotas. My husband immediately told his superiors that while he was more than willing to work on selling more, he wouldn't do it by deceiving people. He was demoted shortly after that. When one of his coworkers asked him why he did it, he said "I have to answer to a much higher authority than (manager) and (assistant manager)". While the extra money from the promotion was nice, I'm so proud of my husband for standing up for his values. Thank you Lord for giving him an honest and caring heart.

Most Americans (I don't consider they who shall not be named Americans) are afraid to stand up, and in my opinion it's time we stand up and say enough is enough and take back our government, and our home. First through lawful protest and contacting government officials but unfortunately a LOT of people don't even know we can contact gov officials and speak our minds and if they don't listen, then we protest. Its to much work to contact them, go to council meetings etc. There will be a straw that breaks the cammels back, and that straw is getting mighty heavy.

[@2a.l.e.x246]

Albus White Lies, Lies, and lies. Open the bible if you want truth pal. Macro evolution is scientifically impossible. Natural selection cannot extend outside the DNA limit, in other words, two creatures of the same species cannot mate and produce a new species, only new breeds. Another fact to consider is that genetic mutations are harmful most of the time as well as extremely rare. Biological information comprises a complex, non-repeating sequence which is highly specified relative to the functional or communication requirements that they perform. Such similarity explains, in part, Richard Dawkins’ observation that, “The machine code of the genes is uncannily computer-like.” What are we to make of this similarity between informational software-the undisputed product of conscious intelligence-and the informational sequences found in DNA and other important biomolecules? If our genes and cells arose randomly through competition for supremacy, then how can we explain so many wonderful processes where cells are programmed to sacrifice themselves for the good of the whole, especially during development? I have done chemical synthesis on parts of the DNA molecule. The nucleotides and nucleosides, or sub-units, have bases that act like 'letters' carrying genetic information. I worked many long months connecting just three of these bases, but everyone is told that this complex molecule needed for life, needing millions of bases in the proper order, just 'happened'. I found that to connect these DNA 'letters' together correctly, a protective group must be attached on parts of the molecule to prevent wrong connections. A catalyst is also needed as a condensing agent, and the chemical reaction must take place in a completely water-free environment. If the environment is left open even momentarily, the humidity in the air would prevent the reaction. So I thought, I am connecting only three bases together. How could DNA randomly form out in an ocean or pond? What about all the proteins, sugars, and lipids also needed for life? The DNA in a 'simple' bacterium carries so many 'letters' in sequence that, if you typed it out, it would fill about 2,000 ordinary pages. One human cell would take about a million pages. I did not read any specific creation literature.. Evolution is just unscientific. It violates the laws of chemistry including the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the laws of probability, and information theory. Anti-creationists commonly charge creationists with misusing the Second Law of Thermodynamics, saying that an 'open system' solves the problem. If you put a drop of dye in a body of water, it is an open system, but the molecules are going to diffuse out, not collect together. Systems tend to move into states of greater disorganization. The complex DNA molecules I was working with have a tendency to break down into less complex forms. Very hard, directed work is required to get even the simple parts to form in a particular order. Random processes just won't do it. Chemical synthesis is a very exact science. In fact, a number of scientists are now acknowledging this and admitting that there must be an undiscovered scientific law that caused simple molecules to organize themselves into life. "This scientific law" is know as a creative agent. For their to be a creation and design, there must be a creator and designer. This creative agent is God. In physics, the concept of cosmic fine tuning gives further support for design. The concept of cosmic fine tuning relates to a unique property of our universe whereby the physical constants and laws are observed to be balanced for permitting the emergence of complex life. The degree to which the constants of physics must match precise criteria is such that a number of agnostic scientists have concluded that, indeed, there is some sort of transcendent purpose behind the cosmic arena. British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle writes, “A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question.” One example of fine tuning is the rate at which the universe expands. This value must be delicately balanced to a precision of one part in 10 to the 55th power. If the universe expanded too quickly, matter would expand too quickly for the formation of stars, planets and galaxies. If the universe expanded too slowly, the universe would quickly collapse before the formation of stars. Besides that, the ratio of the electromagnetic force to gravity must be finely balanced to a degree of one part in 10 to the 40th power. If this value were to be increased slightly, all stars would be at least 40% more massive than our sun. This would mean that stellar burning would be too brief and too uneven to support complex life. If this value were to be decreased slightly, all stars would be at least 20% less massive than the sun. This would render them incapable of producing heavy elements necessary to sustain life. With modern discoveries in the field of cosmology, the concept of a definitive beginning of the cosmos has been demonstrated almost beyond question. The Kalam argument states that 1. Everything which begins to exist has a cause apart from itself. (except God who is infinite, eternal, self existent and is outside our universe) 2. The universe began to exist. 3. Therefore, the universe has a cause apart from itself. It thus appears from the data that an uncaused first cause exists outside the four dimensions of space and time, which possesses eternal, personal and intelligent qualities in order to possess the capability of intentionally bringing space, matter-and indeed even time itself-into being. So, to ask what was before God or creation is illogical, as there was no before God. He created time and transcends the physical universe. This is evidenced by what one can infer just from the fact of creation alone: • He must be supernatural in nature (as He created time and space). • He must be powerful (incredibly). • He must be eternal (self-existent, because there is no infinite regress of causes). • He must be omnipresent (he created space and is not limited by it). • He must be timeless and changeless (He created time). • He must be immaterial because He transcends space/physical. • He must be personal (the impersonal can’t create personality). • He must be necessary as everything else depends on Him. • He must be infinite and singular as you cannot have two infinites. • He must be diverse yet have unity as unity and diversity exist in nature. • He must be intelligent (supremely). Only a cognitive being can produce cognitive beings. • He must be purposeful as He deliberately created everything. • He must be moral (no moral law can be had without a giver). • He must be caring (or no moral laws would have been given). The Judeo-Christian God perfectly fits this profile. The universe we live in is only part of a multiverse. Science has all but proven there are other dimensions, something the Bible has always taught. THERE IS A GOD OF ALL GODS, A LORD OF ALL LORDS, A KING OF ALL KINGS, who created TIME, SPACE, ENERGY, MATTER, LIFE AND SPIRIT. The real God is a being of immense power and intelligence that sits outside His creation and runs it. He is not a part of it, He is OUTSIDE OF TIME AND SPACE, a place we call “eternity”, a place where there is an ABSENCE OF TIME, something we cannot fathom!!

I listen this on repeat! I was raised like this. In 1962 when I was born my Daddy was 41 years old. He'd served in WW2 in Germany and was a hard working Kentucky man. I was the youngest of 9 and the baby. You bet we were taught right from wrong. He never had to raise his voice, he had a PRESENCE about him. You just knew better. Upholding the family name was a given, as well as protecting each other. 4 big brother (one 15 years older) No one who found out I was a North, bothered me..ever. They knew my brothers would throw their ass back at them as they walked away.

I shared this song with somebody who really needed to hear it in a time when he had to stand up for what was right, but it was so hard. He said he drove for miles relistening to it over and over, and this song gave him the strength to move forward in strength, understanding why he actually had no choice. He HAD to take that stand even if it meant he has to betray his word. This just happened, so the outcome is yet to be seen. Sometimes being too responsible in one part of your life can stop you from being responsible in another; especially when you find yourself enabling a tyrant while believing you're helping a person change. Then, finding out you're doing things to help, but being used because the person is secretly doing the same bad things to others and wants to keep doing it. He's been lied to so the person gets his help. I think he was afraid of failing, but it's the person he tried to help that is failing, not him. It's time to speak up now that he sees an enemy of the people enjoys being that enemy.
