Doubling Down On Deception

I decided.

I am doubling down on my commitment quotient. I know it's a gamble, but I am game, and wanna really stick to me guns so to speak. If you aren't familiar with the double down, this is what Webster's has to say about the big DD: to become more tenacious, zealous, or resolute in a position or undertaking.

Now some might say, Linda, What are ya, nuts or something? I mean the big DD is crazy talk, and is gonna lose you some respect. You are bout to regret that decision. Well I say to them folk, O no, you can't talk me out of this: I am right, so move along now, go pester someone else with your silly little warnings and kiboshing nonsense. 

I did the right thing, and no one can suggest to me anything otherwise. I like Webster's description of me. Maybe they outta put me picture next to the words with some other words added, with me name included: Linda is so tenacious she is like a rabid dog with a bone and will bite your hand off if you try and take it; Linda's got so much zealous energy, she will fight tooth and nail, almost religiously, to prove her point of being righteously right, and take anyone down that disagrees with her massively correct view; Linda has that certain something, that resolution in her position, and she undertakes to make it well known, that to challenge her, is foolhardy and perhaps even, a little bit dangerous.

Grin, this is impressive to say the least: now to figure out who to contact at Webster's to get this stuff added to their way to impersonal and short description of doubling down. We need real people examples for goodness sakes. Any ideas who to contact, to rectify this whole situation?

Being caustic

Dear reader, of course I was being as caustic in my writing as I possibly could be, because frankly, I am annoyed! I got an email from a brain training company (I will not say their name, because I sent them mail challenging their thinking, in the hope that they snap out of the spell they are in), that spoke about the long term effects of covid, and how brain training helps people to get back to work. They mentioned covid isn't being talked about anymore but there are still many people suffering ... DURRRRR! Yes of course people are suffering, because they were poisoned repeated, and wore masks that left them breathless for months, years even - some people still sport the damn things, forsaking the truth in favour of doubling down on their own self-deception. 

In my neighbourhood, there is a lady that wears a mask while doing lawn work. To ensure no strangers come to her door, she has hung a monstrosity, a black tarp, from her roof, that hangs hideously down to just in front of her steps. She is sending a message: Do not come near. The woman is mentally ill and is clearly, signalling to all, that she has lost all sense of reason, and is tenacious, a zealot, and completely resolute, in her messed up thinking regarding the validity of covid. Why bother gardening ? is what I want to shout out the window when I drive by. Why bother eating, drinking, sleeping, going out into the world, if humans are the enemy and being in contact with them can kill you at any given surprise moment. This woman is living the height of hypocrisy, pretending human life is valuable, hers, but living death on the daily. Her soul is shrivelling up in her self-righteous denial of truth, and it is hard to witness. And she isn't the only one.

There are people filing in and filling hospital hallways and offices, getting treatment for cancer that suddenly came upon them, stage 3, stage 4: surgery, radiation, chemo. Fight Fight Fight the cancer, you brave warrior. Ring the bell; you can beat this thing! This is what people are saying to the suffering, and it hurts my heart to hear it, to read it, and to know that the fluffy words meant to encourage, are just that: empty, meaningless fluff that ought not be spoken to someone that may be facing the end of their life on planet earth, without ever being told that the soul lives on, and doesn't go to a "better place" just because they were considered "a good person". 

Maybe I am doubling down, dear reader. Maybe I am obnoxiously committed to speaking the truth, repeating it ad nauseam. Perhaps I beg and plead with God regularly to change things, spin the dial the other way and have people know that not only were they lied to, they were had, and that the only chance they have to spend eternity with him in heaven, is to admit to all their transgressions, plead for forgiveness, and see that Jesus died for the sins of the world, including theirs. Covid injections were embraced as a saving solution, when nothing could be further from truth. People are sick and dying, and I feel like I am on permanent mute, because people like me voicing what I know, are not appreciated. I don't care really, about my reputation as a covid crank that beats the same drum endlessly ... I care about souls, and their salvation. People were injured from the injections, and now they suffer, while some of us watch, weep, and anticipate bad news.  

Sigh. 

I want to tear down the tarp and tell the woman that God loves her and that she need not act like a crazy woman in control of her own life, because she can't even plan her next breath, or day for goodness sakes. She is dependant, you are dependant, and I too, am dependant, on the Sovereign; the sooner we realize this, the better life gets!

1 Samuel 2:6

The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

Try to fight the good fight, dear reader, as described in The Bible. It is futile to think that you are in charge of your own existence, since you didn't make yourself and admit it, you wouldn't even know where to start if you thought it possible. Arrogant self-deception keeps people clinging to lies told and believed. Humility lets us off the lie hook when we are willing to say, I was wrong, and now I will be an honest person, for my own sake and the sake of others in my vicinity. That is my challenge to anyone reading this: don't just unsubscribe because you don't like what you are reading, change your ways and listen to Truth, otherwise known, as Jesus Christ.
