Jesus Came to Martha's Vineyard!

Jesus came to Martha's Vineyard. No, not one of the Venezuelans named Jesus, Jesus himself, the very Son of God! The Bible speaks of this. In Matthew chapter 25, starting at verse 31 it tells us:

"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Like maybe an illegal immigrant? Martha's Vineyard put Jesus on a bus and sent him out of town as fast as they could! 

That's how he dealt with the sheep. What about the goats?

"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."

However, there is hope wherever there is still breath. Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.  Thus endeth the lesson.

Obama: Less Bread, More Circuses

Obama is going to make some last minute remarks before embarking on a two week long vacation to Martha's Vineyard, home to not a few of the "1%".

Back in 2011, Obama made a statement before leaving for Martha's Vineyard, that he would lay out his plan for turning around the economy. Ten days later, he gave a 45 minute speech, which, if you recall the last three years, did nothing at all.

I marveled at the time, how, if he genuinely thought he had a plan to turn around unemployment and put Americans back to work, why he couldn't delay his vacation 45 freaking minutes to do so, to handle what he said was both urgent and a "crisis".

Whatever self serving remarks he makes before this lavish vacation, about him being "in constant communication" and therefore able to ignore a crisis either foreign or domestic from Air Force One equally as if he were hunkered in the Oval Office or on a golf course, will be equally believable.
