Truth Melts Glacial Divides

George O Well
Now, I have to ask you to do the same, dear one. I have to request that no matter who may be listening, you speak your mind, you state your opinion, and you do so freely without fear of sudden arrest or being constrained by the thought, word, or deed police. This is how people become enslaved: fear of repercussions for privately and publicly disagreeing with what they perceive is everyone else's preference, invisibly leashes the tongue. The feeling that we are being eavesdropped upon, and continually surveilled, causes self-consciousness and curtailing of what we really believe. Not speaking disagreement is a form of agreement, a form of giving yourself away to the enemy that you fear. It is a way of saying Big Brother is easier to pretend give in to, than to adamantly state no, no way, you are not my master, you are no sir to me, and your demand will never, ever, be my command.
Challenge
This is my challenge to you: keep a firm grip on your freedom of speech and action, trusting in God's Sovereignty. We can be muted muttons, or claim our place as solid citizens, by going against the norm of being dictated to by the already damned. The villainous have chosen the road they are taking, and they want to drag you with them, sullying your soul.
Choose ye this day whom you shall serve, dear one. It behooves you to realize that by speaking out, you will embolden others to do the same. You have impact, and can use it to change the trajectory of our collective future. If you decide not to, it may be the biggest regret of your lifetime.
Being a Christian
If I were to simplify what being a Christian is, I would say it is desiring what God wants for us, and trusting Him in all circumstances.
This is a state of being for me, and perhaps you too, have experienced this oddity? this alternating between chaos and calm, the one instigated by unseen forces, the other a quiet request of the soul that is troubled, and then soothed by the God that never leaves our side. These forces are ever present, and the sensitive cannot help but have a heightened awareness that the battle ensues, compassing us about.
I am still reading the Psalms daily as part of my Bible in a year plan. Some of the psalms leave me where I am, not moved in one direction or another, but then, praise be to God, bam, I get hit with what I have been craving, needing, wanting, hoping for. In times of trouble, Christians have the understanding that we get to ask God for what we desire, without apology. Being honest with God is the only option, because, dear reader, He knows what we are thinking and feeling at all times already. Why not just tell it like it is? Why not come clean with Him, and say what is on your mind, and in your heart? Pretending to be perfectly nice and sweet, smiley and forever mercifully gracious, is disingenuous and dangerously deceptive, causing dissonance and soul fracture. Being upfront and honest with God can deliver a person from spirit ache to wondrous relief.
Psalm 140 was the truth I needed to read from another Christian. I hope it is helpful for you too.
Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man: Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips (Psalm 140:1-3)
Dear reader, in the middle of the night, this was the panic that awoke me, this sense that evil and violent men that imagine mischief in their hearts, are continually plotting and planning war. And they are! The battle rages and the forces of evil froth and foam as they glome, gathering struggle from their frenetic frenzy. The taste of blood has them thirsting for more, and the discerning detect their presence.
Is it not true, that the forked of tongue serpentine speakers with cameras trained on them, spew poison perpetually, with words sharp and venomous? These evil ones are world wide and shameless.
Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings (Psalm 140:4)
The prayer continues in the same vein, with a request to be kept safe from the hands of the wicked, to be preserved from violent men. Do notice, dear one, that these men want to purposefully overthrow the goings, the way that the writer wants to travel. Evil interrupts and God intercedes ... know this, believe this, trust in this truth.
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me (Psalm 140:5)
A snare to fall into, cords to be bound with; a net by the wayside and a gin, or noose ... dear reader, the evil of our day have done what is described here. In their scheming, they do what their ancestors of old inclined toward; namely, setting traps for other humans, binding them and ultimately, taking life. If you are still with me here, you know of what I speak. Trapping and killing humans is a sport for the demonically driven. Knowing this is crucial, in order to avoid and evade their snares and gins.
I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. O GOD the LORD, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves (Psalm 140:6-8)
The psalmist declares the LORD as my God, and calls out his supplications: he is begging earnestly, humbly, to be heard! He calls the LORD his strength and salvation, and he knows that in the battle of the mind, there is also a battle for the soul, and that God is the cover, the protector in times of trouble. He not only asks for mighty coverage, he asks that the desires of the wicked be thwarted, so that they could not exalt themselves in puffed up pride over the successes of their scheming.
This is exactly what the faithful find so repugnant, isn't it, dear reader? The self aggrandized smugness on the faces of those that have accomplished the goal of not only setting traps, but people falling in en masse. It pains us to witness, not just because of the disguising smirking of the evil ones, but because of the loss of life for the unsuspecting.
As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits that they rise not up again. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him (Psalm 140:9-11)
Upon reading this prayer request my heart responds with an echo. Why oh why, would someone want to set a trap, bind, and then place a noose around the neck of another? Why would someone wait by the wayside for an innocent traveler to happen along, so that they can kill them for the thrill of taking life? Why? In the verses above, the psalmist knows these people exist and want him dead. He asks that what they want to do to him, happens to them. Good can see evil, it is not to be ignored. Knowing it exists and understanding it, are two different things. It is incomprehensible to me, and I hope to you too, dear reader, to want to plot and plan murder.
This is a declaration: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence (Psalm 140:12-13)
Dear reader, in the middle of the night, I called out to God when trouble shook me awake. It took but a moment to clear the cobwebs and declare Thou art my God, just as the psalmist does repeatedly in numerous ways. The threat is real, but the strength of my Saviour is powerful, and as I stated above, Evil interrupts and God intercedes ... know this, believe this, trust in this truth.
Being a Christian is desiring what God wants for us, and trusting Him in all circumstances, day, and night.

Noah Means Rest, Peace
I find it entertaining that Yuval Noah Harari plays on words, using flood survival prophetically, while publicly, repeatedly, blaspheming God. Does he have any clue of what he speaks? Anyone with a read Bible, meaning you have been reading yours, dear one, knows that God is the beginning and the end, and while we believe we are filling in history books, He already knows how it all turns out.

A Gentle Page Turn
The month of May is a promise kept and a promise broken for me. God gave me the best gift of my life in the month of May twenty-five years ago, my son Matthew. God also placed my fathers death in this month, and my marriage too ... on May 9th, 2017, on what should have been a 25th wedding anniversary, I heard the words "I don't think our marriage has a future". Death and delivery ... they seem to go hand in invisible hand.
Sometimes I think I am over it all, healed and somewhat heart hardened, just like a good little soldier. Carry on, Christian soldier, forgive, move on, look up and not back. Most of the time my joy of the Lord supersedes my sorrow, but not so in the month of May. While the trees are dressed in summer leaves, and flowers smile at the sun, I celebrate them and sometimes cry at the same time. They are so pretty, so happy ... I want to love like they do.
If I accept the page turning, it still feels like waiting. We are in a time of wait and see, aren't we, dear reader? Life goes on and yet, we are holding our breath collectively, with the uncertainty of the future. The invisible hand is ever present, I can see it as it ruffles the tree tops, making them dance to and fro : making them move.
We are meant to move. The month of May is bitter sweet to me. While nature seems to speed up, filling in and filling out, with fluffy feathery goslings and full branches, I am slowing down to appreciate it. The bloom of youth is tender, and fades as the summer heat ages the green to yellow to dried up blow away brown. Death and delivery, death and delivery ...
My hope is in the LORD, the One that I died for, the One I gave up my marriage for, the One that hath delivered me from my own wretchedness. I put nails in my own marriage coffin, in more ways than one. We all contribute to our own demise, isn't that right, dear one?
I want to be moved by the invisible hand, guided, led, page turned. I want my ways to be His, and I know, He was a man of sorrows ... dear reader, the calendar page just turned again as I typed these words. He told us that there would be tribulation, but He also instructed us to be of good cheer, because He overcame the world:
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world (John 16:33)
Bitter sweet 💖

A Matter of Conscience
I grin as I consider conscience, and tip toeing through the tulips with the pretenders. My conscience and your conscience may speak strange and foreign languages that cannot be interpreted by eavesdroppers. If the conscience is the voice that instructs us as individuals, then we are in deep do do, dear reader.
1. What of a mass murderer, that looks like a human, smells like a human, does humanesque things and yet, is devoid of conscience?
2. What of a person who say, gives themselves permission to abandon their family, because their "conscience" tells them that they just aren't happy, and their family will be better off without them?
3. Or this ... my conscience tells me that raising a baby in my current socio economic position is not good for the child to be, or me for that matter, so I will do the "right thing" and eliminate the problems having the baby will create.
Let us answer these questions, shall we, not with conscience, but with commandments:
1. The murderer knows he is not to kill, but does so anyway. The excuse of no conscience for culpable criminal activity does not relieve him of the burden of guilt.
2. The person that decides that they do not want to be responsible in relationship, is bound to the obligation of perennial self-punishment, because they have abandoned the vulnerable in favour of their own freedom to do as they please. Happiness is not a good enough excuse, for excusing oneself from relating.
3. Now this one, dear reader, has many layers to it. Sex, for the sake of pleasure alone, is animalistic. You read that correctly : sex outside of marriage, sex for the sake of experiencing momentary release that may result in impregnation, is a pathetic excuse for engaging in this activity. It is a fatalistic fix for those that indulge thusly, because eliminating the results of what is sordid, destroying a baby as though they are a "mistake", is the purest form of the corruption of conscience.
Think now about the twisting and turning inside of the soul, that must occur to justify getting injected with the re-useable marketed bits and pieces that are extracted from aborted babies. If our society is ok with abortion, and yes indeed it seems to be, then why not take advantage of what these "cells" have to offer us in the way of protecting us from say, a pan-dem-ic, aging, and ultimately, death? Why waste what can save society ... that is the "it is a matter of conscience" argument that condones committing a crime against Christ, the Author and Finisher of life.

F150's Kill
Planting an idea in someone's mind to get them to think and behave in patterned ways isn't new. Each human has the capacity to trick, and be tricked. It is when we recognize this truth, dropping naïveté on its fragile little head, that facing off with the enemy becomes possible. Everyone must stop pretending people are nice, have good intentions, and want only the best for others, when their actions say nothing of the kind. We have abundant evidence of this duplicitous reprehensible behaviour, as politicians and their pansies, promulgate their "hate your neighbour" propaganda.
It doesn't make sense for me to hate you or you to hate me. It just doesn't make any sense, and yet this is exactly what the wicked want for us and from us. It is a murderous spirit that wantonly lusts for blood, yours and mine. The chaotic thinking that lives in the minds of the fallen ones flows from their mouths like projectile vomit, and while this is evident to many of us, it seems hidden from the masses, that regurgitate the vileness ad nauseam.
Dogs, dear reader, return to their vomit. People that act like dogs do the same:
It is plain old embarrassing to see what is happening and how many gullible adults have given themselves over to be manhandled by dogs. As weird as this sentence is, I am leaving it as is, because it is apropos.
I like F150's. I think they are cool, and manly. I like guns, I think they too, are cool and manly. I think trucks, guns, and tent pegs have their uses ... and in the hands of the righteous, each can be used for their intended, or newly created, purposes.
To decode my encrypted message, do look up the story of a woman and a tent peg in scripture.
Lastly, I made up that the government wants to ban trucks ... just in case you took me seriously. But then again, who knows? They seem to want to ban our driving, with these elevated gas prices.
