Have you ever seen someone kiss the ground when they disembark from a plane? I recall when I was a child, passengers in planes clapped when the wheels left the runway, and when they rolled to a stop upon landing. In the first instance, of kissing the ground, there is a sense that the person is relieved that they have arrived safely, and they are grateful for solid ground. In the second instance, passengers appreciate the skills of the pilot, with lift off and touch down talents that deliver travellers to their destinations of choice. There is reliance and trust placed in professionals, and celebrating successful outcomes is apropos! My thoughts go now, to the One that keeps airplanes up, and is there each time those heavy wheels, land runway perfectly.

The Legitimacy of Power
It occurred to me the other day that there must be some mechanism that is tripped in the human psyche, that triggers slavish thoughts and associated behaviours. If I follow you, does this mean you are my leader; and if so, will I follow you anywhere, and everywhere, no matter what you say, or what you do, because I believe your power, your authority over me, is legitimate?
When I consider Jesus, the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world, suffering persecution without immediately punishing the perpetrators, I see God's grace and mercy, his willingness to wait for us to become cognizant of our willful and destructive ways and repent. Thankfully, God is long-suffering, otherwise you and I would have been snuffed out after our first (of many), heinous sins. Donald is one of the least humble, most immodest men alive; a braggart that people admire, despite his distasteful self-aggrandizing. Please know, I do not compare the Don to The King of kings ... I juxtapose the two to make it glaringly obvious how very far from glory, this mealy-mouthed man, adored by thousands for his worldly wealth, has fallen.
I see the people in political power as grifters, pushing merchandise, and selling a story, with much pomp and ceremony. The more noisy and shiny-shiny these grifters get, the more the crowd goes wild with admiration, tears of appreciation, and sentiments of gratitude for all that the power mongrels are doing for them. As an aside ... what has a politician ever done for you, or for me, for that matter, that has positively impacted our lives? I can't think of a darned thing, can you? I see a lot of lips flapping when they stand endlessly in front of microphones, threatening us with identification authentication technology; I also see a lot of tent cities, and strung out people on the streets that make me nervous for humanity, along with many weed shops spotting the corners of every street, but I don't see any politicians comforting the homeless, or telling people to not get high ... oh wait, the politicians used tax payer dollars to incentivize the opening of these shops via shameless drug pushing opportunists, to encourage mindlessness and numbness in those that do not understand that the lures they are attracted to, if swallowed, will be the hooks that have them emptying their pockets over and over again, without any return on their investment, other than cravings that demand satisfaction, for more of the same drugs that enslave them.
I think of the fraud of the supposed assassination of Charlie Kirk, a factious character that completed his mission of promoting Trump for president to young people, and how he drew crowds, how he made a name for himself, and quickly became the darling of Christians, as though we needed a spokesman, other than Jesus Christ. When I saw the auditorium filled with people that paid to be at his commemorative memorial service, I realized they needed this unifying moment in time, because that is exactly what abused people crave from their captors. They want their political leaders to sooth their sorrow, to make things right, so that hugs and kisses can be exchanged; and for forgiveness, no matter what the powers that be have done to the people without apology, to be the lesson in all the drama trauma. The injured, the wounded, the abased victims, want to be moved, believe in the good, and know that evil is conquerable. The show, the strange and embarrassing display following the fraud perpetrated and displayed ad nauseam on social media of the staged assassination of Kirk (is this the actors real name?), was designed to emotionally manipulate the already soulfully suffering, that just want the world to heal and have hope. Keep in mind, dear, dear reader, that not long ago, people were told they must not gather in church, should get the propagated injections, and when other humans were near-by, a six foot distance was required between them, with the added instruction to wear a mask for increased protection from a make-believe virus. The stadiums that not long ago stood empty, were filled with lonely, lost, injected and rejected people, that craved community; they stood and figuratively, ate the poison right out of the hands of the imposters that seek to imprison there souls, by turning them into hero worshippers, rather than Bible believing Christ followers that discern the times we are living in.
Contentious. This topic is contentious. Christians are divided, and some Christian's have actually uttered threats and insults to perfect strangers, if there is even a hint of questioning the narrative, Emotional manipulation is not new, and when social media is ablaze with Christians fighting Christians, all of hell's future citizenry, meaning the political leaders, laugh their heads off, and scoff, Look at those losers that give us their money and praise, believe every word we say, and want to kill each other over our bit of playacting. Suckers are born everyday I tell you!
It is legitimacy, giving these people the sense that they have authority, that backfires on the average person that just wants a bit of normalcy, and maybe a return to the pre-cv days, before the ruining of livelihoods, relationships, and lives.
I invite you to compare the political players in power, to the saints found in scripture, for the sake of clarity, regarding who belongs to God, and who is the seed of Satan, based on their respective fruit.

Sensible Seasoned With Suspicion Thinking
Can you see the dummy drool dripping from chins as they watch endless streams of manipulative media, mesmerized and frozen in place, dear one? Have you had to wipe your own chin, give your head a shake, and tell yourself, Snap out of it, go do something productive, for goodness sakes! Have you ever deemed it necessary to go on a social media sabbatical, as though media had become your full time job and you needed a vacation, or had to enforce a similar ban for your child or children?
I was listening to a sermon the other day and the preacher repeatedly commanded, Read books. He said it so many times that I felt a little remiss. I do read, in the mornings, but later in the day, when I am not gainfully employed, spending time with friends, exercising, or taking care of household tasks, I give myself permission to coast along a stream of nothingness, where my mind is not firing with sparks of intellect, stimulating my thinking, because it is preoccupied with the nonsensical stuff of media mania. Brain flatlining is a real phenomena: all we have to do is turn on our phones and go to any number of "channels" to have devilish things move into our psyches and souls, taking over like leaches, sucking us dry of deductive reasoning and sensible seasoned with suspicion thinking. Fight or flight is confused now in most people ... pass a troop of university aged young adults as they wait for a bus, necks bent, palms open as they gaze and scroll for perhaps the thousandth time that day, through their many media applications: Would they jump back in time if the bus they await, happened to hop the curb, or would they all be flattened, because they had no awareness of their surroundings, being so absorbed in the nothingness of their phones?
Thinking of this scene, and knowing that I too, have been captured and released, captured and released, from this prison cell of emptiness by being sucked into my phone and having my emotions toyed with, has me experiencing a sense of loss, coupled with a critical analysis calm. The calm, it must be embraced, dear one. We must be even keel, cool as cucumbers, sensible in our assessments ... we must read books. I clearly, am speaking to you, and of course, to myself.
I think of the apostle Paul, and Jesus standing next to him while he is in the custody of Roman soldiers in Jerusalem, after an enraged crowd attempted to rip him limb from limb following the hearing of his salvation testimony: Jesus spoke these words:
Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also in Rome (Acts 23:11)
The apostle Paul modelled himself after Jesus. Jesus lived his divine plan while he walked the earth. He came to heal the sick, give sight to the blind, deliver the demon occupied from their enslavement, and raise the dead, without fussing or fighting with the powers that be, because he stated:

Just A Little Bit Of Arsenic
Now, what shall I select as the solution in the bottle? I have been thinking on this for quite some time, and while there are many options, I have decided on ... arsenic! Yes, yes, that is the one! I have heard a little won't kill me, and since I am committed to being frugal with my dosage, it will take me quite some time to see any ill effects. Sure, my skin might start looking splotchy and discoloured, and my organs may rebel while cancer forms there, but it is worth it to see what might happen to me. I have my reasons for doing this, and while some might disagree with my choices, they are mine, and I really don't want to be talked out of this, and talked into someone else's idea of what is right for me. Mind your own business, is what I want to say to people, that try to interfere with my process and program, MYOB!
One of the great things about arsenic is how subtly it will affect and change my body, over an extended span of time. Taking this naturally occurring compound is no big deal really, I mean others have taken it and survived. As long as I stick to one tiny droplet each morning, I will be around for a very, very, long time. My thinking is kind of like this:
1. A little sex outside of marriage doesn't make me a fornicator, per-say, if I am monogamous. I see this all the time; people think marriage is archaic and out of date, but being committed to one person only, and having sex with them, doesn't break any rules, really, so what is the big deal?
2. Since we are talking about sex, and since fetuses are sometimes formed when sperm and egg meet up and become one, there isn't anything wrong with that morning after pill, just to make sure this doesn't happen to me, I mean, I don't want a baby, for goodness sakes! I know abortion is an option if I happen to get impregnated, but man alive, I would rather just get rid of the problem early on, ya know? And besides, it is my body, and I get to do with it as I please.
3. Okay, we are still on the sex thing, because I have one more, tiny little confession to make. I experiment sometimes, I mean not like a porn actor or anything like that, more like just a bit of dabbling so to speak. If I like someone, and I am attracted to them, I might make out with them, but I always tell them I prefer a committed relationship, and that I am not into doing it with lots of different people around the same time. Really what is life about, if not having fun and being happy? Two adults, and even some sexually aware and active consenting younger people, can do what they want, can't they? It's a free world and we have freedom of will, so I say, Have a good time everyone, just be safe about it.
---------------------------------------------
A little bit of arsenic, a little bit of sin, what is the difference, dear reader? They are both poisonous to the body and to the soul, and yet, it appears to be acceptable to play with either or, and believe that there will be no ill affects, no shocking after math, no hell to pay for pretending that consequences do not exist.
I have a massive drum, and I have been relentlessly beating it to deaf ears., and today I will be artless in my presentation of what I see happening in the form of duplicity:
The Bible commands, Thou shalt not kill, and yet some suggest that there are circumstances that are acceptable regarding the killing of babies in the womb. You cannot be a bit of an abortionist, you either agree with abortion, or you do not. Mothers become murderers when they destroy the life God has formed within, and anyone that suggests it is agreeable to do such a thing, regardless of how the woman became impregnated, is an abortionist by definition.
The Bible commands, Thou shalt not bear false witness, and yet the globalists, the cv pushers and perpetrators, lied to the point of making me nauseous, to the point of making my heart and soul sick, because people believed them, and now there is illness, suffering, and death, all around us, that did not have to be. The most atrocious part of what has occurred is the fall of the church ... it simply crumbled as though it never existed, and just like Samson being buried with the Philistines, under the rubble of their temple, pastors and parishioners alike, are dead things that cannot be revived: their strength is spent. When I hear people rallying for any of the pushers of poison, I see duplicity, especially in those that profess Christ as their Saviour. How can it be, that they embrace anyone that willfully misleads, bearing false witness repeatedly, and at the same time, espouse Truth as their foundation?
Two frequently observed occurrences pain me greatly:
1. Seeing and hearing poison pushers defended
2. Christians making excuses for murderers of the Word, and of God's people. Christians explaining away duplicity, as though God will be accepting of his Word being diced and sliced to accommodate human error, human sin, human inclination to make The Bible fit their world and personal view
- We cannot be a bit of an abortionist
- We cannot be little liars
- We cannot be periodic professors of true faith in Christ, while condoning those that live and act like the devil

Accessories
I ask you:
The apostle Paul could say unequivocally, Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men, Acts 20:26. He follows this assertion with a qualifying statement in verse 27: For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
The counsel of God, dear reader! That is what gives Paul the right, to adamantly proclaim I am pure from the blood of men.
I am considering seriously whether or not I can make similarly bold statements, as this man of God. When I think of Paul, previously known as Saul, jealous for his faith as a Jewish man, committed to old testament fervour for the law, so much so that he was persecuting Christians with holy misplaced zeal, and compare him to the humble, meek, willing to be beaten, be thrown into prison, suffer ill tempered malignant misuse, and ultimately be martyred as a servant of the living God, I am stunned at the transformation. I confess, my "transformation" has been snail slow, with lots of stunted growth, missteps, and periodic regressions, and I do believe I am not alone, meaning; sanctification isn't a rapid get holy quick schema, it is more like a progressive plan over a lifetime of getting to know the Lord, and following in his ways.
Paul had single minded focus, directed at sharing all he knew about God, declaring unto attentive listeners, those that wanted to hear and receive truth, the counsel of our God. Many a folk don't want to read or hear that God is our God, the One and Only, and yet, it is impossible to avoid, no matter how much magical thinking people engage in ... God is undeniably Creator and Sovereign, and Paul knew it with such confidence, he had to share this wisdom with all, so that he was more then qualified to state: I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Think with me now about the first question I asked you above, Are you an accessory to the ruin of precious souls? I hope you are not, and I sure do hope I am not an accessory to this type of crime either! This begs the question: Who are these accessories to the ruin of precious souls?
Well there aren't enough blank screen pages available to place all the names on, dear reader. Suffice it to say, that all who deny the living God, all that insist upon others turning their backs to him, all that lead and mislead people they say they love, away from him, ruin precious souls, or at least, they attempt to ruin precious souls, whether they are cognizant of the fact or not.
I think back to the days when I attended Village Green Community Church, here in London Ontario, Canada. During the week, space in the church was rented as a place of second language learning for immigrants, mainly Muslims. Since devote Muslims pray at specified times during the day, and they were in a church, the staff faced a moral dilemma, with the question: Do we allow this praying to a foreign entity, in a church dedicated to Christ and his followers? The sound decision of No, this must not be permitted, was arrived at, and subsequently, the contract, and income for rental of the facility, were respectively terminated, and discontinued.
Fast forward to 2020, and the very same people shamelessly locked their doors to their parishioners, while performing church "on-line", in compliance with lockdown demands from the government they bowed before, without hesitation, or seeming regret. These people were not on-line, they were out-of-line, and the abominable behaviour continued when they opened their doors as a vaccination clinic, thus turning themselves into accessories to the ruin of precious souls, and they weren't the only ones.
Men of God are commissioned by God to share his counsel. Men of God do the work of believing in the One that God sent, namely, in Jesus as Christ, the promised Saviour of the world. Men of God proclaim the King at all costs, without worrying about their next meal, or what others think, say, or believe. Men of God suffer hardship willingly, and never ever, acquiesce to wicked governmental imposition at the expense of their flock. Here is what Paul had to say in parting to the Ephesians, Acts 20:28-31:
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn everyone night and day with tears.

Change Catalysts
Another definition of placid is calm and peaceful: these adjectives appeal to me, and I aim to accomplish the goal of being calm, represented in a tranquil and peaceful demeanour, before this year is up. I have my work cut out for me, dear reader; I come from a long line of reactionaries, and I must model myself entirely, after Someone else.
If I am not placid, and I am easily upset and or excited, the question would be, Over what? or at least, that would be the question I would want asked of me: Linda, what has you so upset? A follow up question can run along the lines of: What makes you excitable?
My answer to my own questions:
If we look at excitement in a good sort of way, we can leave it out of the equation, because I do get excited over wonderful people, animals, plants, places, and things. When I look at the descriptor upset, I see that it is the very thing I cannot stand, that I want excised out of my being.
Now, to fine tune this process for the both of us, dear reader, I will explain when I get upset, and perhaps you can relate.
I get upset, in fact I become infuriated, when I am cheerily going about my business, and somebody I know, throws verbal dirt in my eyes, my ears, my mouth, so that all I can see, hear, and taste is, well, dirt! I am being kind of funny with this metaphor, but that is precisely how it feels when an unsuspected attack takes place. I rub my eyes in unbelief, scratching my eyeball lens; I shake my head, tipping it sideways hoping to unearth what has gathered there; I fill my mouth with water, rinse, and try to spit out the grit, but man alive, the stuff is hard to rub, shake, and wash off. The assault on my senses, have me upset in seconds flat, and before I know it, I become the Tasmanian devil from Bug's Bunny, whirling and muttering unmentionables!
While I may be reasonably miffed at my assailant, and suspect them forever and ever after this, and previous incidents, it is me I am irritated with, for following their lead into a snare set for me. If this sounds paranoid to you, then clearly, you either haven't experienced a difficult person in your lifetime, or you think other people are just plain old innocent, and must not be considered evil or wicked enough to plot and scheme against you, or anyone else: that is delusional thinking, and as I am inclined to say frequently, your naiveté ought to be dropped on its head, and you must make sure it is dead, before you carry on with your saintly minded self. Back to me now ...
I recognize that not everyone upsets me, but there have been some people in my life that caused me grief, and vexation. They are the ones I now consider as my change catalysts. I think of the apostle Paul, persecuted, beaten, driven out of synagogues and towns for preaching and teaching the gospel, and how he modelled himself after our mutual Master, Jesus Christ. He knew Satan's ploys and tactics, and he went about the business of professing Jesus as the Saviour. He washed his hands of those that brought damnation upon themselves with their blasphemies and vicious violence, and dear reader, Isn't it all we can do, when we are kind and thoughtful and yet, it is somehow turned against us, by those that have a disgruntled and dirty disposition?
I am working my way toward calm tranquility, and peacefulness, in all circumstances. As long as we walk this earth, we get to practice perfection; we get to eliminate our own wiley ways; we have opportunity to be more like the King of kings, as sons and daughters of the living God.
In the mean time, I do not want to be on my guard. I want to be aware, and then from there, choose The Way, over my learned from family ways, when once again, I have dirt thrown in my direction.
Peace, be still, the Father loves you.
