I don't really have a Christmas Epiphany this year but then again, of course I do. I know a lot of people out there are scared. A lot of people are discouraged and pessimistic. Some are even considering MAIDS. The cost of housing is frightening.
I'm forced to recall the Charles Dickens poem about the best of times and the worst of times and remember tough times don't last, tough people do. God hath not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.
I always try to look at the bright side of life. Walk in the light so to speak. My parents sent me a poster on my mission of a workhorse pulling a cart in a blizzard. The caption read when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Indeed they do.
Gentlemen may cry peace peace but the war has already begun. So let's talk about the war of words that seeks to lead men astray into slavery and captivity and let's talk about that guiding light that leads men out of darkness and captivity into the light and freedom we were created to enjoy.
At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Christ. Christ experienced sorrow. He was born in a stable. Isaiah 53 states "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."
Psalms 118:3 states "The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner." The chief cornerstone which lays the foundation for not only the church but for our lives. The wise man built his house upon the rock.
The rock of our redeemer. That "when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." All men can fall but if we build our lives on a solid foundation the Devil's shafts in the whirlwind will not have power over us to drag us down to the Gulf of misery.
So if we see the big picture like Elijah did, we will realize that they that be with us are more than they that be with them. There's more good people out there than bad and I don't care what religion you belong to if any.
As the title page to the book Zen and the Art of motorcycle Maintenance declares, "And what is good, Phaedrus, And what is not good. Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?” No we do not. We all know. So let's be honest wit yourselves and each other. Let's use our discernment in the sea of lies to see where we want to go then head in that direction. Peace.
TPUSA is the wrong direction. Ben Shapiro is a bad man.
