WHAT’S WORSE THAN . . . ?

In marriage, what’s worse than accidents, illness, poverty, old age, death, even alzheimer’s, infidelity?

Even in the worst of the worst, one can have memories, good memories, intact, to review from time to time for the rest of life.

Divorce strips the good memories.

And, in truth, the pain often does not go away or subside.

IT’S GETTING BAD – – – SO . . .

What should we be considering for the time when things get really bad?

You mean, like now?—like real soon, maybe?

How to protect myself, and my family?

How can we get out of here?

Big talk—is it big cheap?

Is planning just talk?

Where can we go?

Can we survive?

What matters?

What works?

Any help?

“We see it’s getting bad, so . . . don’t develop an escape plan—develop an impact plan.”—–Frank Turek (on American Family Radio)

That resonates with me—my by-line on this site:

MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE, IN THE PARTS THAT ARE FOR KEEPS

The stuff that counts will soon be separated from the stuff that doesn’t count.

Then we will all understand what we really need—eternal survival.

OUT OF SERVICE – – – SORRY

Water fountains with sign:

“Out Of Order—Sorry For The Inconvenience.”

After many months, one word caught my attention.

Out Of ‘Order’?—Water fountains are not out of order.

Water fountains are out of service—by decision.

America—out of service—by decision—sorry for the ‘inconvenience’—thank you, China.

America will soon be out of order—with continued compliance to manipulative mandates.

FREEDOM – – – BY WORDS – – – BY ACTIONS

The words of preachers before the American Revolution gave a clear message from the Bible that inspired The Great Awakening, which prepared Americans spiritually for the Declaration of Independence, and the War, and the Constitution.

The words and actions of preachers at the time of the American Revolution inspired the Patriots to take action and take up arms.

After the preacher preached on Sunday morning, he took off his robe in front of the church, to reveal his uniform, and led the militia training on Sunday afternoon.

The preachers at the time of the American Revolution were more feared by King George than all the American military (according to George himself).

The preachers at the time of the American Revolution cared more about the cost of freedom than the cost of offending someone.

Their messages likely offended more than they inspired, but thank God they preached it.

Likewise today the cost of freedom versus the cost of offending someone is clearly laid out before preachers in the pulpit and Christians in the pew.

We must speak out now—we must act out now.

We don’t have time to wait and see how things will play out, like we did in the past, watching the pendulum swing back and forth.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS – – – EVEN ‘SLOW’

I have learned to be genuinely thankful for slow.

My body is getting ‘older’, but my spirit does not have to get ‘old.’

When the ups and downs are battling over me, and the downs seem to have the upper hand at times, ‘my spirit is renewed day by day,’ even when I don’t feel it—because God is still in charge of my life to the end.

Any reader out there, feel free to remind me of that when I need to hear it again.

MASKS MANIPULATE THE MASSES

My fellow Americans,

Do you now see that the mandate to wear masks is but the tip of the iceberg of everything the government leaders will demand next, and next—and is already happening now (see article 2020 QUESTION on 8-20-20).

I can’t believe how I’m the only one in the stores not wearing a mask—and I live in the middle of Texas.

Even folks who feel the way I do are complying—even though they don’t have to.

I can stop and talk to anybody—I haven’t found any government-worshipping leftists—but everybody’s still obeying.

And that in itself gives more power and boldness to the wrong government leaders.

And how does this play out in the rest of the disasters continuing in America?

Sadly, for so long now we’ve seen protests equal riots and violence.

Sadly, for so long now we’ve seen state and local leaders condone and thereby encourage the violence.

Sadly, for so long now we’ve seen state and local leaders brazenly threaten and spy on churches just like they do in communist China.

Because the government is intentionally not using its rightful authority to stop violence in our cities and threatening mobs at restaurants, the violence will be (is now) met with violence from the other side.

Question is, when justified force is restrained for too long, measured self-control becomes difficult, does it not?

There’s a revolution underway in America.

Have the good guys forgotten how to revolt and stop it—both on the streets and in the government?

I seriously wonder how many freedom-loving Americans, who are faithfully wearing masks everywhere, will now take action and take up arms.

We know the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun (or with riot equipment), is a good guy with a gun.

We’ve lost sight of the purpose of the second amendment—to stop bad government, with good guys with “Arms.” (and “. . . the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”)

Wearing a mask does not prepare or qualify anyone to stop the bad guy or the bad government.

Wearing masks now is like regarding the second amendment without guns or bullets.

And we have only begun to document the medical harm from wearing masks, making people unhealthy and ultimately less able to fight—along with less willing to fight (physical effects and psychological effects).

Talk about brainwashing Americans—underway, undetected, unsuspected.

AND, what really makes my blood boil, every time I see everyone wearing masks, is the devastating, unseen, emotional damage currently inflicted on communication and relationships.

Before the masking, every time I went to town, at least five to ten people went out of their way to greet me cheerfully and with a smile.

That’s gone, and it hurts, me and them.

I love greeting families with young children, telling a father how rich he is—or telling a family with teenagers, “Remember, these are the good old days.”

We’ve lost it, America, when we can’t trust each other, hiding our faces.

And our children are getting messed up, fast, big time.

For God’s Sake, we have to smile to be human, to be free, in the image of God ! ! !

And I am quite sure that all these effects are also intentional, just like the pandemic itself.

Giving medical reasons for masks is about as sound as saying the (Jonestown) ‘cool-aid’ was for your own good, medicinal—when understood that both exercise control, for destruction.

Some more specific, ominous observations in the town where I shop:

The largest grocery store faithfully broadcasts messages in the store every few minutes, basically giving pep talks how “together we can slow the spread of the corona virus in Texas.”

One message tells everyone to wear masks—another tells people to not hug or shake hands, just share a smile.

They just proved the point that we can’t do everything we’re told—can’t share a smile wearing a mask.

On top of that, over the top, one of the big chain home improvement stores has two solar-powered trailers in the parking lot (for several months now), broadcasting messages about wearing masks and distancing.

The first time I saw the trailers and looked closely, and then heard the loudspeakers, it hit me with a scary flash-back in history—and with a scary flash-forward in history.

Broadcasting the same message through public loudspeakers over and over and over, is exactly how the nazis conditioned the people to go along with and eventually support their ideology.

The same is set up to happen here.

How many Americans currently think we should be going along with masking and everything the ‘officials’ are telling us?

Obviously, way too many.

And something else about those trailers in the parking lot—they were a lot bigger and more powerful than needed for broadcasting a brief message several times an hour.

They had cameras and floodlights and close to a hundred square feet of solar panels—whatever for?—your guess as good as mine.

THIS IS ALL HAPPENING TO US NOW, AND MORE.

Americans, while you can, stop being sheeple* conditioned to ‘follow.’

The very least we can do is revolt against the masks.

Find out exactly what the letter of the law says on your behalf, and take it with you, and start a freedom revolution there.

And talk to people everywhere you go.

EVERY DAY WE ARE SILENT ABOUT ALL THIS, WE ARE ONE DAY CLOSER TO TYRANNY.

*sheeple—see my definition after article FAKE FRIENDS on 7-8-20.

NEW TWIST ON TURNING 70 TODAY

On my 69th birthday I said,

“I almost made it to the Biblical allotment of 70 years.”

If someone else made the exact same statement about me, it had an entirely different meaning,

“Larry almost made it to the Biblical allotment of 70 years.”

– – –

Now I can say,

“I made it to the Biblical allotment of 70 years.”

And, now anyone can say the same about me, with the same meaning,

“Larry made it to the Biblical allotment of 70 years.”

– – –

But we must add,

“. . . totally by the grace of God.”

– – –

No promise ‘of the days,’

but promise ‘for the days.’

SOCIAL DISTANCING – – – MISNOMER

After all these months of reading distancing signs on floors everywhere, I noticed the obvious.

From the beginning the signs should have been reading MEDICAL DISTANCING.

The stated purpose of the signs was medical, and would have nothing to do with social goals.

OR WOULD IT ?

In many ways it is becoming clear that nefarious goals behind the mandates we are subjected to, reach far beyond social distancing for medical reasons.

Social Engineering is more accurate, acclimating us to Freedom Engineering, Communication Engineering, Political Engineering, Election Engineering.

We can’t trust each other, because we have to stay away from each other (and ultimately we don’t know why).

We can’t see each other, so we no longer share facial expressions that keep us human.

We now have engineered fear, and the government is capitalizing on the opportunity for control.

– – –

In November, PLEASE do not vote for those who openly advocate more government control.

WHY THE RIOTS ?

The riots (ongoing) are far from spontaneous reaction to injustice.

The chanted slogans claiming a cause, immediately lose their initial meaning, however sincere by some at first.

It should be obvious to all that the riots are very organized by others not on the streets, higher up on the chain of money, power, and revolution.

Why the riots? So those behind the riots can destroy America and everything it has always stood for, and replace it with socialism—tyranny.

– – –

America—Americans—We have two and a half months to decide if we will keep our blessed country or not.

THE 2020 QUESTION ?

What will the government mandate next?
