Stand firm on this passage from God’s word as we do spiritual battle to recover and rebuild our nation and world, and defeat the evil that seeks to destroy us.
14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To slay those who are upright in conduct.
15 Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.
Prayer:

Chapter 1,984: A conversation overheard by a park bench on the mall in Washington, D.C.
“Thanks for meeting me on short notice. Our team has some questions with all that’s going on. We need to touch base to make sure we are on the same track. I did not want to do this over the phone, especially since we are not even supposed to know each other.”

Stand firm on this passage from God’s word as we do spiritual battle to recover and rebuild our nation and world, and defeat the evil that seeks to destroy us.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
Prayer:
Lord, it is your plan and structure of the universe that wickedness is its own punishment. Even if you did nothing, it would bring to death all who follow. But there is also today condemnation from your throne against them. Call your people to condemn the evil controlling our country and world, to pray by name, out loud, against the perpetrators, that they would be exposed, defeated, shamed, and their wicked schemes crushed. Awaken the deceived. Your refuge strengthens me, and it is not my place of hiding but my base of operations. Call your mighty spiritual warriors to join together in strength, striking out from your refuge, with your heavenly angels, to defeat this evil.

35 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
Fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take hold of buckler and shield
And rise up for my help.
3 Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me;
Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”
4 Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life;
Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.

There are so many enraging government activities these days. A worldwide socialism pandemic, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, the war on cash, trampling of freedoms, the government is meddling in everything. They are ratcheting up the pressure on the population, but the only ones feeling it are we who care about our rights. The sheep be like, “Pressure? What pressure? You using that mask?” And that’s what the government and elites are counting on.
A recent article at American Thinker talked about this pressure: “Our political polarization is a pressure cooker.” Many writers are noting the pressure, and the causes and instigators, but I have not heard much talk about the immediate purpose of the pressure. Let’s explore that here.

I previously wrote an article on sowing and reaping, and how it’s the mechanism of life, how life works. The usual reaping shock is the surprise of consequence, as when a dirt biker in high school earned a body cast by crashing in a particularly stupid stunt. Delayed consequences further serve to amplify the shock as people learn, no, they did not get away with anything. The most surprised are the people who have no clue that bad actions have bad consequences, and we call them liberals.
We are today seeing an entire people group voluntarily commit suicide-by-reaping. American liberals have embraced one destructive philosophy after another, at the behest of a virtually invisible elite pulling their strings through a puppeteer media. Conservatives think the elites are using liberals to destroy them, but the people damaging and killing themselves, and self-neutering, are liberals. Liberalism is literally a flesh eating ideology.

In Part 1, I wrote of a girl named Mia who lived on grubs in the desert, but journeyed to the Big City to discover a wealth of food and drink. The only problem was that her eating establishment was a dumpster out back of a restaurant. Mia was so taken with her new found food source that she refused to look for better, and she even rejected her best friend who was calling her forward to better. Take a minute and read Mia’s story if you have not already.
There are lots of dumpsters in life, some we discover, like Mia’s, and some we are forced into, or suckered into. Our benevolent government is doing its best to get every group of people to settle for some dumpster as their life’s normal. Might be a “we’re all in this together” lock down to flatten the curve, ridiculous face mask mandates in the name of safety, trading freedom for security, stimulus payments of play money while the currency is being destroyed, transgender mutilation for the praise of the woke, or welcoming infinite government as an eternal nanny. If you can get someone to accept eating out of a dumpster when they could be eating fresh food, and con them into loving it and even defending it, the game’s pretty much over for them.

I wrote this story for my daughter when she was a young teen. The title is taken from an Oswald Chambers devotional passage.
In Part 2, we’ll examine how this relates to our lives, and believe you me, it relates, so stay tuned.
In the desert lived a girl named Mia. She had lived in the desert so long that she could not remember not being there. It was a tough, lonely life, especially for one so young, not the worst of it all being the food she ate, mostly grubs and roots.
Now before you go getting all grossed out, let me tell you that grubs are a rich source of protein, and one does not have to chew them up, but only swallow them whole. That’s no problem given their slippery nature. Even though Mia lived in a desert, she appeared the right size for her age, though her skin was a little dark from all the years in the sun.
Not many others were around for conversation with Mia, but she did have a friend, Geoff. He, like Mia, scratched out a meager existence on what the desert could offer. They had a keen sense life in the desert was not nearly as good as they would like, but the commiseration of companionship gave them a common bond. Geoff did not let on to that, though.

As I observe the mass insanity in America and the larger Ball of Confusion, for that’s what the world is today, hey, I ponder the motivations, thought processes or lack thereof, and emotional reptilian brain stem outbursts from the left. No horror movie, no bad acid trip, no bath salts zombie fest even approaches today’s naked reality. What kind of person supports this idiocy?
Some people are genuinely deceived, perhaps from birth. Some people go along because of peer pressure and the garbage that spews out of their phones. Some people ride the wave, profiting off the twisting of the basics of life, like, oh, whether you are a boy or a girl. Others orchestrate the wave, shoving society toward collapse and destruction.

I have a confession to make. Sometimes I lie awake in bed plotting moves against the evil overtaking our country today. But how? I need a perfect plan. It must be a plan of attack that involves many co-conspirators, but leaves no trace of relationships. The plan needs a powerful, portable, yet affordable weapon, but leaves no evidence of purchase, transportation, or setup. The plan must be constructed intricately, but without Internet searches or computing help. The plan has to be executed invisibly or remotely, for there are cameras everywhere. The plan also must provide for the perfect getaway, with no trail to follow.
These are questions criminals concern themselves with, then review in pain during extended prison sentences. If only I had…

As a person of white privilege (but who says I’m white?), I engage in certain white-oriented activities around the house (which house I own outright as an act of explicit racism). One of those activities is mowing the grass. You may be thinking, “lawn,” but my lawn contains too many weeds to be considered a proper lawn. In that one area I fall down as a white privileged suburbanite. But I do identify as a lawn owner, and that’s what counts.
Anyway, I use a CO2 belching lawn mower that runs on polluting and global warming racist gasoline. I fill my lawn mower with gasoline from what you and I call a gas can. Now I’ve been using gas cans since I was a kid, and my father (possession of which is another indicator of racist white privilege) paid me hard cash to mow the grass, or Coup de grâce, as he humorously put it. We had a gas can like this one:

Exo-archaeologists today published findings about a newly discovered planet the former inhabitants called “Earth.” This planet is somewhat near our own, but has not merited study because of a lack of intelligent life, though it is covered with plant and animal species. However, on a long shot, archaeologists sent a probe to Earth and discovered a long lost civilization which was not apparent from space.
The probe and later in-person visits revealed a civilization fraught with potential and failure. An extensive network of roads and utilities covered all land mass on Earth, but the cities connected by this network were mostly in decay, paradoxically even in their heyday. Evidence suggests that the inhabitants of Earth did not die in a nuclear or environmental holocaust, but that their society, worldwide, simply rotted from the inside out and died with a whimper.

As a young skull full of mush at the community college I took this one credit health class, a throw away elective that everyone had to take. It was taught by a salty man in his 50’s who had a dry sense of humor, the kind of guy young students enjoyed listening to between classes as he smoked a cigarette down to the butt and authoritatively complained about everything, while leaning on a vending machine.
There was this nursing student in the front row, a young lady, and she was front and center, eager to get her A+. In the first class the professor asked us all a question, “Does the FDA protect us?” Miss Nursing Student raised her hand and confidently said, “Yes!”

There was a good article at The Federalist recently, “Dear Christians: Get Off Your Couch And Back In The Pews,” by Georgi Boorman. The content of the article is right down the line on target, canonically correct and theologically accurate, but it still left me screaming NO! What could be wrong? What’s wrong with getting Christians back in church, back in their normal, usual places? What’s wrong with restoring what the covidian cult stole from us?
Heresy alert! The problem is that the pew is religion-run prison. Huh? Yes, religion captures people with philosophy, excitement, belonging, slick music and lights and fog and video, and sometimes even the truth, then screws them down to the floor in a literal and figurative pew, inside some building which is isolated from the world we should be changing. Now that pew does not look like a prison, and the hard wooden benches we called pews in ages past have been replaced by steel framed powder coated foam padded warmly upholstered individual serving size chairs. How could that be a prison?
Anything that prevents you from doing God’s mission for your life is a prison. Even if you like it.

The most amazing thing happened over the weekend while the spouse and I were planting sweet potatoes in one of our gardens. I say one of our gardens because we are people of white privilege, and white privileged people obviously have multiple gardens. (But who says I’m white?) Anyway, two hours into the three hours of our planned one hour dirt workout I saw something shiny on the ground. It looked like a dime and I picked it up. The coin is pictured in the lead photo and turns out to be an 1837 capped bust half dime, mostly silver. For those readers who have abandoned racist mathematics, a half dime has a face value of five cents. This coin is 184 years old! Unfortunately, in this condition it is only worth about 60 bucks, but that works out to some 3.9% interest per annum since Martin Van Buren. Not bad compared to todays rates.
