I've been exremely busy and had not had the time to pay attention to all the media coverage of the Ford v Kavanaugh scandal.  Notice I said scandal for that is all this frenzy is, a scandal perpetuated by scandalous unrighteos people.  After talking with a brother of mine, I finally listened to both Ford and Kavanaughs opening speaches from the Senate Hearing last Thursday and found my self furious and unnerved.  My brother felt Kavanaugh should not be confirmed without further investigation of Fords allegations but I had not listened to any of the coverage so I didn't want to form an opion prematurely.

After listening to the speaches, I found myself passionately conveying the content of both speaches to my husband but also voiced my frustration that there was no righteous standard involved in the proceedings.  There was no common sense or wisdom being excersised in how Fords accusations were initially and presently being handled and viewed.  I chalked all of this up to confusion, straight up confusion and chaos.  That is what resullts from rebellion against Gods ways and standards, confusion.

Are these proceeding worthy of all the attention they have generated?  What is the motive?  As Judge Judy often says, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, it's a duck. This scandal is a duck.

I was surpised to learn that Judge Kavanaugh had already endured 31 hours of hearings, 65 senator meetings and answered 1200 written questions, not to mention he's been investigated by the FBI six seperate times over his career and been through two confirmation hearings before this one.  He was never accused of anything like this before and people are still calling for him to be "investigated" about events that alledgedly occurred thirty six years ago. 

My husband reminded

me of an example of true wisdom on display when King Solomon held a hearing regarding two women, both prostitutes, who had given birth to babies in the night.  One mother rolled over on her baby in her sleep and killed it.  She woke up and swithched the baby with the other mother while that mother slept too.  The next morning the other mother woke to find a dead baby next to her but knew it wasn't her baby.  Both mothers claimed the live baby was their own so they went before King Solomon to decide the matter.  King Solomon's approach was both simple and wise.  He ordered the baby be split in half and  each mother given a half of the baby sense they both claimed the child as theirs.  The real mother cried out no!  Let her have the baby!  The liar said yes, cut the baby in half!  Solomon flushed out the truth.  Wether she was the biological mom or not, the real mother did not want to see the child harmed. Solomon gave the baby to the "mother" that truly cared for it.

Oh God, where are the wise and prudent?  Where is the righteous standard?  Does it take 31 hours, 65 meetings, 1200 questions, seven investigations and three hearings to confirm anyone for any position? What does Gods word have to say about Fords behavior leading up to the alleged events and her present day accusations?

Deuteronomy 22 clearly defines moral and immoral sexual behavior according to Gods law.  Ford testified she didn't know how she got to the "house", she was drinking, she was apparently alone, no brothers, sisters or chaperone was with her, her parents would not have approved of her being there, yet she defied them and went to the unknown location.  If she was sexualy assaulted, she played a part in putting herself in that position.  She that was without sin should not cast any stones  especially 36 years later. If a woman or man is raped they must and will cry out, expose the rapist at the time of the event to receive justice.  If they refuse to do this, it is evidence that they were some how responsible or party to the circumstances. (Not referencing children who may be threatened or cleaverly seduced by pediphiles).

This scandal is only a reflection of how far our society has strayed from righteousness.

Righteousness exalts a nation.  Sin/rebellion against God  is a reproach upon any nation. Arise oh Lord.  Restore this nation to righteousness.
