8/29

   Life is funny in a strange kind of way. Sometimes it moves at 90 miles an hour on the highway, and at other times it seems to move slow and enjoyable, like sitting in your lawn chair watching the cloud parade float by. Time goes by one moment at a time, clustered and fragmented at times, but still always forward one tick of the clock at a time. Obviously I would think, that fast and furious is not the way. It is more, easy does it. Take time and think it through before you act rashly. Think of time like driving on an inter-state. Many are flying by at 90 plus miles an hour. Be careful of them because they are also the tail gaiters, NASCAR fans would call it drafting. 

  Time management is a skill that few master. Sometimes, time seems to be moving too fast. Others seem like you might feel if stuck driving behind a Lancaster county farmer in a one horse buggy. But it's at the pivot point of the issue, the fulcrum of a scale. Right smack dab in the middle of too fast or too slow, that is where we find our point of ease. We'd rather be in the middle, right at the point of balance. The place of balance is where wisdom lives, and that is what we humans instinctively want. Extremes from neither side are just that, extremes. Dismiss them. Seek the middle, found at the core of the issue, you should learn to understand it, but also understand that there is little you can do, after all,  your red cape is still at the dry cleaners. You should never become wound too tight, nor should you be content to just sit on your couch and watch it go by. 

  There has never been a time like this, nor will there be one ever like it ever again. God knew of course, but the one two heavy gut punches this country just recently avoided, knew that it took something personal to awaken the still slumbering. For us, the one two of Covid, and a coup dreamed up and executed by evil men who cared for no one but themselves. That's the meaning of Narcissism. Nothing or no one is as smart as I am. Narcissists are so full of themselves, that they are legitimate by virtue only of what they think, such is the egotistical delusion of these types. Psychologically they are alone and afraid, but I have strayed too far. The point is I praise God for the gut punches we had to endure because that's what it took, but finally, America  woke up. 

  Like it or not, Jesus is using president Trump in the way of truth, that is just the way of it. If you can't see this, or, you see it and deny it, that's on you. Regardless of your emotional commotion, life is what it is, it always has been, and will be so till the end. The biggest question to all of humanity is, do you believe that creation and all that is has a Creator, or, do you think that everything came from nothing? Which takes more faith? Faith is active, it is a verb, it isn't just an opinion. But Know this, faith based in rock solid fact knows the truth, and these know that God is not only real but active.

Ignorance

   Lately at times I've been having a strange feeling, kind of like a weight on my chest. A strangeness that I could not identify, I just couldn't put my finger on it. But today, just about two hours ago it came to me, and now I know what the name of this feeling is. It's anticipation, but anticipation for what? From one question to the next. Great, so now the nagging strangeness of the last couple of days has a name, but that's all it has. Something this way comes for you poetry lovers, but where from here? For me I see gathering clouds some white bulbous and billowing, while others broil in darkness with flashes of lightning. But both types roll toward us in a front. Sometimes they span from horizon to horizon, ten stories high! An ominous sight whether bright shiny day or storm clouds, we see both of  those coming. Sadly, most don't see either, metaphorically speaking of course. What they see are endless bright blue skies and floating white figures above. White clouds on another perfect day, and that vision only, for scripture tells us that all of men's ways seem right to them, they are blind to the truth, they fear it. These visions of approaching weather changes, or any other condition you can think of, can only be seen through spiritual eyes. Spiritual eyes are always drawn to truth, in truth there is life. 

 But the point is that some of us see this oncoming change in weather, but we don't know what this change will bring, blessings or calamities, either way we are unaffected, just a rumbling through the world. Did you feel it? What comes is great power, no matter your vantage point, God is moving amongst you. Through you, all around each of us. Not speaking of good things or bad things, talking about pure power. Power comes this way. Good or bad you decide.. 

  Most people are unaware of the approaching power, because what approaches and who is involved are spiritual matters, and can only truly be understood through your spiritual eyes. We all have them, but few understand how to use them. The realm of the eternal, of sprit and eternal life awaits us, we will understand things fully, only when we see the matter from His perspective. There will be more sunny days than stormy I can assure you, but all that comes day by day, whether we see it as bad or good doesn't matter, because all that comes is as it must be, and all that is true is of life, and all that is untrue is of death and is from the Liar in chief, and all lies are evil. We see what evil does, and it is ugly on TV each day, but not of what is good. Death and carnage sell their wares and are brought about by deception. Blind to the Truth and reality of God by choice,? Tell us, Is ignorance bliss?
