Make Yourself Happy

I really dislike solicitors and often donate to a program grudgingly and out of obligation. Recently when I interviewed a community fundraiser I was taken aback by the enthusiasm she had for her job. Her personal belief is that everyone should be giving more than they do, both financially and with their talents. “I love putting people in touch with something that makes them happy. Giving makes people happy; people feel good when they give.” I think she unknowingly took a page from the Apostle Paul, “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Cor 9:7 NIV).

Gail;

-----You’re so much nicer than I am. Occasionally, and I mean very intermittently type occasionally, one of these cold callers will impress me with their faith and honesty. They’re able to get a few bucks out of me. And I am sure to tell them that the only reason I am giving anything to their cause is because I so much like their faith and honesty.
-----To the rest of them I give guff, not about the cheerfulness of giving, nor even the importance of giving, but about the target of giving and what needs to be given. And the more time goes by, the more deceit consumes Americana, the more envy destroys our social fabric, the more left wing pundits accuse everything normal, the less I care how hard-hearted I appear.
-----I can’t say I challenge these cold callers with the truth. The truth is an awfully big thing. Left wing pundits won the concept of the non-existence of the truth because nobody stood up soon enough, steadfastly enough, profound enough with the reality that the truth is known a piece at a time by each individual’s mind who has it in his heart to know truth. And a piece of the truth I know is that if respect for the simple concept of truth itself is not elevated again amongst our people, this nation is going to break apart on the reef of its own lies. Therefore, rather than a few bucks to be helpful for them, I give these cold callers a protest with a piece of advice.
-----The protest is that I am holding onto my charity dollars for the organization that is shooting its arrows directly at the heart of the dragon’s deceit. We who know the truth, even though only in part, know that the truth does not set anyone free who does not abide by truth. We know it is true Obama’s father was not an US citizen. We know the Constitutional requirement for a President is that he was born to a mother and father both being US citizens (one of the factors at the heart of “natural born citizen” obscured by the left-wing deception that it means born on American soil.) We know the lies Obama used to sell us ObamanableCare. We know his ambitions to destroy our energy industry. We see him disrespect and abandon our allies, while freeing our enemies from Guantanamo Bay. We see him snipping fence wire for the Muslim Brotherhood and leaving foreign gates unlocked for their jihadi benefactors. We’re watching him do all he can to assure Iran’s nuclear capability. Maybe he is stupid. Maybe he is insane. But he is persistent, deliberate, lawless, and destroying American fabric.
-----The Lord always gives His people a last call and a last chance before switching their behinds with something like the destruction of their homelands. We have been given the chance to stand upon the truth that Obama is an imposter by Constitutional definition until he crumbles like the bad cracker he is (remember, he’s half white.) And his crumbling forced by the truth held long enough in the light would in turn expose every left wing pundits who supported and covered for him.
-----Therefore my challenge to every charitable cold-caller: what is your organization doing to secure the decent and good future of this land for our children? Are you crying out for the truth and standing up against this enemy within? Or are you adding obfuscation to the darkness by playing like it does not exist, collecting all your little pittances from all the little minions soon to be enslaved? Help kill the culture of deceit by toppling the imposter. Then we all will have an America in which a little giving might do some good. Until then, if you want any money from me start exposing the big deceit.

Love you all,
Steve Corey
