Wicked are killing wicked in Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, and elsewhere. YES, a powerful CABAL, tool of Satan, rages the length and breadth of this once-more-humble & obedient nation. YES, the Lord is revealing the treachery and sin of Liberty's enemies (foreign and domestic). BUT, I take comfort in Psalms 7:9
"Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins."
Away from the coastal dens of sin; and the communist nests in Minneapolis and elsewhere, HEARTLAND AMERICA continues to seek to honor God and treat all men and women fairly. I am not afraid of
God's trials, so long as I stand shoulder to shoulder with friends, neighbors, and fellow-patriots who hate sin and love justice. Again, I find solace in Psalms:
"O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer." YES, a time of testing is coming
everywhere. I know in whom I trust. And if my aged, ailing life is required to assist freedom, let the enemies of freedom and honor come and take it. I know in whom I trust.
China is an existential threat to our freedom. Xi plans WAR; even now sending
arms, funds, and cunning spies and agents to our shores--digging deep wherever they might be accepted. To ignore foreign enemies and only count domestic foes, is foolish.
It appears past time to review the Oath of Allegiance:
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God." YES, "so help me God".
Nice oath. Took similar when entering the Service in 1969, but as third generation miliary, have ALWAYS lived that way.
The wicked only killing the wicked, does not, in any way define what is happening in over 150 American cities, or anywhere around the world.
EVIL is an equal opportunity slayer, not caring one wit, who, where, or when some one is killed. The helpless, the hopeless, and the innocent are considered "collateral damage." Likewise, the MSM has long gone by "if it bleeds, it leads."
Your God is not the only one that is pissed. Gaia/Mother Earth and Mother Nature, along with The Lady and Lord, as well as Nerthus, Odin, Freya, Tyr, and Thor are
ALL pissed at the arrogant stupidity of Humankind...
ALL Gods and Goddesses who are Life oriented, concerned/dedicated to the welfare of this planet, and all creatures thereon, are pissed.
So far, all I've seen and heard is Christians declaring their God is is bringing His judgment upon nationalities, without regard to the innocent. So much for mercy, love, and all the benefits of being a believer... Like Jim Morrison said, "Nobody gets out alive..." During the war, we used to say, "Kill 'em all, an' let God sort 'em out." Well no merciful, life giving God or Goddess would willy-nilly murder their own believers... No
rational God or Goddess would do such a thing. Yet, you have many preachers wanting to cleanse the earth with fire, or otherwise. Such arrogance, such stupidity...
Think of the gravity of your words. Are you trying to bring people into your faith because of desire of a better way of life? Or, are you trying to scare them into believing your God? If the fear disappears, will they remain? What if your God still lets the helpless, the hopeless, and the innocent die? What about voices that are never heard, or ignored? Omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent? Hmmmm? All powerful? If so, why do "good people" die. To teach others a lesson? Fear is not a good way to recruit new believers. It's a strategy based upon slavery and control. Free will? Not in the aspect of bringing new believers into the fold... Once in, depending upon the church, it may well devolve into the "sheep" becoming "cash cows" and slaves...
The people of one faith are no "better" than any other. It's what they think, say, or do, that makes a difference. Many of the attributes of your faith, are found in others... If they vary in any way from yours, are they inferior? Are they to be shunned, derided, or vilified?
You, or anyone, is the sum of their actions. It's how we are judged. Calling down the fires of an angry God upon whole cities and nations, is irrational. Like the tantrums of a spoiled child...
Yes, China's Xi is planning war- a war that he cannot win, and will denude much of Mother Nature's wondrous lands and waters. People will die in the millions, if not billions. He doesn't care, and after watching tyrants murder and enslave peoples and nations all of my life, I'm not impressed with the prayers of many, going unheard, or not acted upon. Righteousness is not measured in the number of unanswered prayers. It's being constant, active, concerned, and available. Hmmm...
Instead of railing against what "is," or fulminating and thumping your chest, why not look for solutions, and putting them into effect? You, as an attorney, know the meaning of "facta, non verba." Deeds, not words. Emotion, without action, may relieve stress, but it does not ameliorate or change the situation.
Humankind is in danger deep. EVIL is danger close. Ignoring EVIL is survival contraindicated, most likely to end in death.
Don't pontificate- educate and lead.
Waking up at 0056 was worth it, seeing this, and other posts...
If you don't like what's here, what's coming, then don't wring your hands, and lament what you consider to be inevitable. Work in concert with others of like mind, and change what approaches, to remove the threats... Otherwise, you join the long list of creatures that became extinct... Likewise, don't lead others over the precipice before you... If you want to lead, to influence for what is best, do so, or let others who are survival oriented, lead...
We are in charge of our own, individual, destinies. Don't lead as by ex cathedra. That's the route of charlatans, and tyrants.
Thinking about these things may change your mind, attitude, and your life. One can but hope...
Blessed Be,
