Where do you go when you’ve had enough?  Do you find yourself going the T.V., the pillow, the garden, couch, internet or medicine cabinet?  If you do these are indications that you have not yet surrendered to the Lord and are demonstrating the capacity to be overwhelmed with worldly sensory input.  Your attempts to slow them, reduce them, cope with them or escape them indicate you trying to deal with the problems of the world on your own.  Going to God is not the final destination or last resort when off loading or dealing with problems and data overload.

It is meant to be your first stop on the pathway to peace, for when you leave your troubles, burdens, cares, worries, sins and shame at the throne you will be given that wonderful peace that surpasses worldly understanding.  So stop trying to be so darn strong and learn from the outset how to diminish, dilute or do away with your cares and worries before the multi-step investigation or journey that would end up at the cross eventually.  God is there waiting upon you to give you rest and free you from your weariness.  Why would you make that your last stop?

I must be honest with myself when it is apparent that I am avoiding God.  Why?  Am I ashamed of needing help, well that is prideful enough to indicate that I need to spend more time with him to be free of that sin?  Am I thinking that I am troubling him with the small stuff that I should be able to handle myself?  Have I determined that I am going to do it on my own and only go to him for the things are tough or need a miracle?  Am I going to him only when it has gotten so bad that my life is falling apart, disregarding him when things are good and running to him in the bad times?

When I avoid the Lord it is generally because I wanted to believe that I was much better off now than I had expected upon seeing my concern for these worldly cares.  Rather than admit that I am struggling with the same problem for the 95th time, I again try and bottle it up inside or sweat it out at the gym, instead of taking time to spend time with the Lord and be absolutely freed of these burdens.

It seems that the idea of free will choice may be calamitous in these circumstances as I choose the most difficult method possible to deal with issues that should have been dispensed with immediately.  How close am I to the Father, that when I have troubles I would be reticent to share them with my Daddy?  Seems rather silly to me now but in those instances I still find the time to sit there and have a pity party for myself or carry around burdens looking for a convenient place at which to relieve myself of them.  I don’t make much sense sometimes.

I trust Him. He never fails. He never leaves me standing there with it all upon myself.  If He wants me to deal with something He gives me guidance, hope and healing.  He never forsakes me, always answering my prayers and calls for help.  There is nothing of which He is not yet aware in my life, so it makes no sense to believe that it is somehow secret set of problems meant for my solutions. He told me to bring them to Him for assistance and that He would give me rest.

At some point I must believe these things and stop trying to do it on my own or else I need to stop whining each time I fail to get rid of or escape my cares and worries.  I am not alone and never have been. At what point may I claim to have faith when I do not take the Lord’s promises to heart enough to respond in recommended fashion?  Wow this reflection stuff always hurts, but in a good way.  Time to drop that bag of burdens at the foot of the throne and ask the Lord for change because it is clear I will never, ever, ever, get there on my own.

In Jesus’ name I pray for my own understanding, release and surrender to His Kind and Gentle Will for my life.

Peace,  the desired yet elusive component which seems beyond the grasp of our own creation.  They cry, “Peace, Peace”, yet do nothing to resolve the conflicts that inhibit its revival.  Is it perhaps an error in definition or miscomprehension?  Do we know what peace is that we may achieve it through dedicated measures employed to usher in its arrival?  Or is it a thing ethereal in nature that may not be achieved through efforts but as in salvation only be brought into the heart through surrender?  If everyone wants it so much how is it that we have never seen the firm foundations of its footing?

From common definition peace is a harmonious lack of conflict between societal groups leading to a coalescence and freedom of disturbance, contention or fear.  Yet, to our reckoning one of the internal components of living is conflict and the measure of humanity the mature desire, effort and capacity to resolve those conflicts amicably.  What then of this unrealistic desire to dispel the nature of life’s conflicts.  Are we to clone everyone and come to some collective general understanding, the same opinion set imprinted upon our psyche that there is never a difference of opinion allowing this harmonious state of existence? It is the same unrealistic determination to keep everything the same in our lives, relationships, jobs, age, physical position, authority and wealth when we know the nature of life demands Change.

Is peace then possible in a life that by nature is rife with conflict?  No it is not some mantra laden, trance filled state of being that produces harmony by denying the reality of conflict as a normal function of life.  Is peace then a destination that may be arrived upon or achieved through the collective and committed efforts of the ENTIRE population?  Why did you capitalize Entire Ezra?  Because I am seeking to show you the obstacles to this being a logically truthful statement.  Peace by cooperative agreement requires that agreement be universal in its inception.  So, peace is only possible when all of those who have alternative ideals, as in, all tyrants determine to forever forsake their ambitions and the wicked give up their self-centered desire to consume those around them in lust in order to produce that necessary state by which conflict is removed.  For with the injection of conflict peace is an irrational in-achievable objective.

Oh, you say that I am wrong.  Well, let us subject that claim to the painful reality of evil. Let’s say you determine with 99 of your friends to live in peace and you give up arguing, you appease all differences living in harmony with all your neighbors regardless of belief, practice, ritual, habits or morals.  You unlock your doors, let your children roam free and leave out your wallets and food that all might share in your abundance.  But, that 100th person who was not in agreement continues to argue, rapes your girl friend, kills your dog and continues to enter your house at all hours of the night to play your music, drink your beer and smash your belongings.  Or less yet, he just gives you the finger every time you greet him on the sidewalk or over the fence between your yards. Have you achieved peace in the 99 if the one remains unfettered and ill-dedicated to its harmonious requirements?  Have we seen peace in the history of mankind?  NO.

Somehow the best argument anyone can bring forth in their new age legalistic theory is that at some point we will achieve enlightenment, evolution and become one in our thinking, therefore capable of living without conflict thus erecting the necessary foundation for peace.  Well, isn’t that what Hitler tried to usher in, the destruction of the unfavorable for the collective of the absolute?  When are we going to for once be an honest species?  Peace is not possible because it is a requirement that lays outside of the nature mind set and functions of time and man.  Therefore, those who are crying, peace, peace are either professing false achievements or worse yet they are those evil in nature hoping that you will lay down your defenses so that they can observe all their lusts at your expense.

Peace will be achieved on this planet, not because of some harmonious agreement or global effort of mankind, but because the Lord Jesus, The Prince of Peace will come to rule and reign and do away with the wicked who would subject the innocent to unmerciful grief without restraint.  Father, come soon that we might observe that which is currently outside our understanding and beyond our capabilities.  We find peace here now through relationship with you, that surpasses the understanding of the world.  In Jesus’ Name I pray.

Father, This nation is in desperate need of your intervention. We are deeply divided along the fracture lines devised and implemented via self serving men, drawn from the plans of your enemies.  Many are operating and making these important decisions based upon the misinformation, lies or operative misdirection disseminated by the same group.  It appears that we are headed for a breaking point, now that you have brought anointed wielders of justice into the fray.  Please Father do not let the innocent be harmed, if at all possible use folks like myself to deflect the repercussions. We hold fast in faith and hope that we will again see this nation set free from tyranny’s aspiration to bring honor and glory to your name in our observance of the righteousness of Freedom.

Lord, I will not speak ill of things of which I possess scant understanding. I would humbly ask that you inhibit these influences as they find their way to dividing people who should by all rights be helping and cooperating with each other. I must admit that if you chose to banish this enemy at this moment and send him to the abyss until judgment I would not be upset, but I know that this is not going to happen as your glorious plan unfolds before us. We know that the reason for delay is your great love for man and that you are waiting for the last person to come to you before releasing and quenching your furious wrath upon wickedness and evil.  Give us the courage, patience and endurance of spirit to stand our ground until that moment that you take back this world. Lord, if it be your will it would be a true blessing to us that this nation be restored as the blessing that you gave us, in sovereign resemblance to your glory.  We pray that you forgive us our departure from the road you determined and give us the opportunity to turn our faces back to you in humility, truth and obedience to your commandments.  Let us live just, righteous and free lives making the correct choices not by force but by will of the people to be set apart from the wicked means of enemy intent.

Father, free us from the clutches and hidden tactics of an enemy that remains hidden and powerful.  Fill us with your overwhelming spirit that they might be forced to give way before us as we proclaim the Truth of Your Gospel message.  Let us take back the places of worship that they once again are free of enemy involvement or compelling influences.  Father let us be set apart for you in honesty and truth.  Father give us a compassionate heart that we are merciful to those left in bondage or those around us suffering from the wounds of this caustic world.  Lord give us abundance with which to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and heal the ill or dying that they might have the opportunity to know you in this world in preparation for the next.  We thank you and we love you for hearing our prayers and coming to our aid in effort to restore this nation we were gifted.  I ask these things in Jesus’ Name.  Amen

Simple things like honesty and wanting them to smile,

The reasons for our willingness to fight

Pursuing all our passions within the rank and file,

The purpose of ambition won’t make wrong right

A calm before the storm caused each of us to think,

Deception and the lies that we’d been taught.

We saw ourselves falling as we stood upon the brink,

We never checked the items that we’d bought.

Seeing is believing then we are left no doubt,

We’ve awakened to the danger in our plight.

Revival in our passions causes each of us to shout,

To gather all our Brothers for the fight.

So gladly we assemble as we value living free,

Encouraging our Brothers on the line.

Our eyes scan the horizon as far as we can see,

Looking for their symbols and their sign.

For we will stand for freedom we understand the loss,

Will capture us in the fist of tyrant’s wish.

The rolling stone keeps moving avoiding all the moss,

Resisting their great clutches as a fish.

Yearning hearts for freedom the night awaits the dawn,

Counting out each second that its gone.

Metronome is ticking the dark begins to yawn,

As it exchanges a great bishop for a pawn.

The King will soon surrender into the People’s Hand,

That we might once again proclaim our worth.

He’ll acquiesce to power when We all take a stand,

Our sovereignty arise in proud rebirth.

When liberty again calls this land her own,

And our children make plans to defend their rights.

The seeds of freedom and justice will each again be sown,

Keeping the objective in our sights.

A restoration or building of what we once called free,

This nation that God gave our blessed right.

This beacon of that Freedom will shine from sea to sea,

A lighthouse for those lost  in endless night.

Stand by her this moment in her torn and tattered state,

Loving her as much as when she’s pure.

We may be a bit tardy but it still is not too late,

The Stars and Stripes will certainly endure.

There is freedom, even if is a lengthy discussion with myself about a place where I wish to live.  Times of trouble intrinsically test the limits and ardor of our endurance factors.  If I have taken no time to prepare and even less to contemplate it is tragically apparent my resultant outcome.  Learning to dance is a parlay of forgiveness and joy as we step upon toes, hip check and meander around a crowded room wearing a groove in the carpet or flooring.  These are not the days to be a wanderer, for pilgrims wear a target to those who have staked out defensive position for the assault they technically believe is way over do.  What then are the components of freedom?  It must be a planned event, not occurring naturally in the dog eat dog of secular man.  Is it so simply born of the hope of a group of collective men yearning for some semblance of self-understanding and empowerment?  Or is it the natural occurrence of men subjected to tyranny and oppression for considerable time and determined to never again allow such result?

Do I want to be free so badly that I am willing to march into the teeth of cast iron incarceration to liberate those stuck hopelessly behind the iron clenches of power drunk men?  For I may not live without the knowledge, commitment and agreement between all men that we are going to protect that liberty, for to immediately close our eyes and lay down our defenses leads immediately to the same low point in the flooring.  So freedom is a plan born of hope in release from tyranny and freedom is a shared commitment to defend that liberty of others while they protect yours.  What then of freedom’s future, since it has been proven a thing of past planning and current defense?

The future of men living free, secure in the wisdom and peace armed with solid and reasonable assumption that their lives, property, family and lands shall remain outside the grasp of wanton and wicked is the cornerstone of liberty.  Yet how is this perpetuated to develop that lengthy understanding and surety required to maintain freedom out to some distant time calculated by sight and projection?  The Youth, they are the key to freedom, for they some day will be the protectors of that device if is to be lasting or God help us eternal.  For we are mortal and looking beyond our own expiration requires investment in the administrators and defenders of our liberty that we loved and hope that they shall as well.  What then is the assault point of any enemy hoping to end the successive freedoms given us by hope, defense and investment?  The Youth.

Honesty, what is its primary potency.  I mean it is just a noun, a characteristic a practice that determines reality’s standing in a subject area.  Where does the capacity for its determination arise?  Is it objective, beyond opinion, translation, perspective or whim?  How then if it is not an objective asset beyond the mutation by human perspective do we all arrive or understand its importance in making decisions or coming to collective understanding?  If it is subject to permutation by human design, how then will we ever know the Truth, but rather only grasp at the most reasonable estimation of that which constitutes historical, evidence and believable fact?  We cannot.  Therefore honesty, may never be a subjective analysis, the Truth is then something beyond the adjustments or wiles of men?  Or is it?

If I control the literary or documented history of an event, to include the eye witness testimony and physical elements of the scenes in a particular period, might I, for establishment’s sake change those elements to bring about a specific, custom response in the listener’s of this modified Truth?  We all must admit, Yes?  Okay then, who was in charge of history at the time of Christ or shortly thereafter?  Rome to the greatest extent was at the highlight of its Post Augustan Period.  So arguably if we look upon the texts of Rome then we should easily see the “modified” outcome or adjusted Truth.  Ah, this guy is not as dumb as he appears.  He has now gotten us to agree that if the texts are modified for a specific public or historical outcome it would have done by this authority in this period of time, adjusted to an acceptable permutation for Rome’s desires.  Do we see this, of course we do.  But we are also left with our original problem set is there an immutable Truth, that according to the Gospel of John, states that once it is known it “set’s the reader free”?

This is our dilemma, if we acknowledge that there is an absolute truth we are both committing ourselves to; destruction of the personal excuse due to the lack of knowledge of the defining differences between wrong and right and admitting that God is possibly the only origin of immutable truth.  For repeated attempts over thousands of years and millions of stellar human minds have yet to abolish or transform the absolute truth of Christ’s visitation and sacrifice for all mankind.  Certainly we will acknowledge that the repeated attempts or successes to mutate this original tale have taken place and found adequate footing among those swayed by individual perspectives.  However, the truth of the original Honesty, has not been disestablished, making perhaps the only truth in history that has escape adjustment by those holding political or religious authority.

Oh we do see now that the Vatican, has continued to change the story, adjusting it for personal whim or gain and many other false churches have arisen replacing the truth with their own version.  Yet still we are left with that knowledge that escapes the realm of human capacity that leads us to the knowledge that the Truth is the Truth when we’ve heard it.  For that is a gift described in the Bible that all men have been given the knowledge of the Truth that is God, for He programmed it into each of us.  It is our prerogative to make a decision and active choice to turn away from a belief in that Truth.  At which time, which is also addressed in the text of Roman’s 1 we are turned over to our own decadence and we must construct our own version of reality in replacement.

The only source of indisputable truth is the Lord and His Word.  The greatest evidence for its truth is the understanding that there is a unique quality to the truth which is palpable and that all hands which have attempted to transform it over the years have faced only limited successes.  Turn away from false recordings of the original truth that is God and His rescue of mankind by sending His Son to die for all mankind.  Why would the Vatican change that story if is the basis of something so grand it could be called the only absolute truth, because they, being power had to change the truth to suit their eternal quest for control and power over mankind.  Otherwise they would have left it undisturbed by revisions.  The truth is in the movement to cover their tracks or establish justification for their evil and self-serving actions, even to establish themselves as the Roman Emperors had as the physical manifestation of Deity on Earth.  The truth of their lies in born to light in the manufactured nature of that story to sell the truth they created.  The Truth of God is known without evidence, without question without argument or manipulation.  It simply is Truth.  In Jesus’ Name

Discussing the appropriate feelings, as emotions are often our guide in life, what then are the expected feelings of someone going through this war of attrition between the deep state and the globe?  Taking into consideration that all people have differing levels and capacities to withstand pain or negative impulses we may still find a range of predictable outcomes.  First we must look at the prompters, the catalysts the perceivable or identifiable feelings being launched against people in the states.  This is done to identify their opposites or the feelings that would be expected as response to that individual stimuli, ie.. you get attacked you experience fight of flight.

Initially we must look upon the assaults leveled against the foundations of liberty; speech, personal property, family, religious and cultural freedom.  If we feel silenced then we change our motive or speech patterns and practices lending to the creation of political correctness as we struggle to contemplate the appropriate words rather than those that reflect our immediate response feelings.  If our ideals of personal property are challenged we begin to become plain  or overprotective in our desire to conceal and defend those things which we feel may be taken from us as result of the right to personal property is challenged.

When the family unit is assaulted we may express the irrational or childish acceptance and denial for the need of a nuclear family, but the typical response is receding into the imaginary or personal places of the mind to conceal the true feelings of loneliness and loss associated with familial deterioration.  The assaults on religious and cultural freedom may by process be the most impact as they cause a us to adopt multiple in defense.  We are no longer able to be who we are so we must first develop alternate characteristics of personality, we might hide our prayers, our beliefs and our affinity or relationships with those of like belief.  Or in each instance we take the stance of direct conflict, choosing to fight these emotional assaults with counter attacks and declarations of commitment to lasting competition for the continuance of person.

How then have we processed this acknowledgement of the slow precipitous execution of an effective plan to diminish and dissolve all that is American about us.  First we stopped displaying our sovereignty, felt funny about our words, our freedoms and our desires to express opinions on subjects that had become taboo.  This produced a contorted version of American where we knew that we had free speech but each time we spoke we had been attacked for the views that we expressed so we either muted, mutated or simply stopped expressing our true feelings.

This led to secrecy and division in this instance America, as we felt that to avoid conflict or wearing some social label of homophobe, elitist, racist, anti muslim or other derogatory construct.  Effectively this ploy transformed free speech into the two segments of acceptable speech and unacceptable speech, which frankly means no free speech exists.  There have been those who naturally chose to fight this onslaught and simply wore the labels given by the perpetrators as they continued to “call it like it is”.

The tools of this assault are chameleon and camouflage by nature.  Meaning, that in order to contort the normal practice of rights and freedoms an intelligent enemy must take a fringe ideal or concept and elevate it’s inclusion into the norm as “paramount to the success of mankind”.  If you look you will see a host of these “fringe” ideals that were touted as crippling, abhorrent, hypocritical and bigoted.  Once these labels were accepted the emotions of their assignment caused normal folks to feel poorly or inhibited about saying anything in defense of the typical morals associated with being American.  In effect they took the fringe ideals and by casting them as norm, accomplished two objectives at once; further silencing free speech and dividing Americans along moral and sometimes religious differences.  Then again there are those who have fought back from the outset and have been painted as cro magnun bigots for simply standing upon established rights and freedoms.

Okay how do we feel currently; well we haven’t gotten over the sense of betrayal accompanying the realization that we had almost lost our Sovereign Representative Republic to the grasping hands of totalitarian infiltration.  That is going to take a while.  We have harbored considering worry and concern about this circumstance believing at times that the war may have already been lost, this in turn producing a desire to hide or run.  We have been overwhelmed by the attempts to change the narrative to one that makes being an average American Patriot as something cherished to one where we have become the obstacle to the bright socialist future that they have painstakingly sold our children.  We have rejoiced that apparently the Lord has heard our prayers and delivered us a considerable rebellion to this attempted coup and brought adequate legal and military responders to counter these insidious assaults.  Or we have expressed the knowledge that we will be victorious no matter the appearance of our inevitable capitulation.

What I am seeing is people again expressing their ideals in a normal fashion.  People are calling out against abortion and its horrific outcomes and hidden intent.  Folks are displaying their patriotism openly, displaying the American flag and daring others to attempt to tread upon it.  Folks are standing up to the silence police or the brown shirts who have labeling people bigots for defending the rights of humans to speak their minds in a civil manner.

People have been praying openly and expressing their faith as a matter of the normal process of living in a nation that allows that free expression.  Our children are beginning to champion the ideals of liberty, freedom, morals and characteristics associated with what made this nation prosper dispelling the lies expressing communism as a pliable option for our future.  We have begun to embrace the things that really matter, not our gold, our successes or our treasures but the hope,  the people and the adherence to the ideals that all of us have been endowed by our Creator with rights that CANNOT AND SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

Emotionally, we have traversed the spectrum of possible reactions.  Generally we see a trend toward the positive or perhaps a shift back to the ideals that made us a unique and free nation envied by the world.  What remains to follow is yet to be seen, but it will in some sense be measurable and definable in the emotions of its people as insight into the conditions within our hearts.  How do you feel today?  What may I pray for your about?

I love you in Jesus’ Name, your feelings matter.  We must take time to know the things the Bible says is coming.  In that knowledge we find discernment, direction and peace

Written without idiom, rhyme, reasoned research or rhetoric for the distinct purpose of arousing the delight in readership or promoting further review.  Easy stuff made to make you come back for more and buy stuff when you do.  Pragmatic prose, complicated meter and rhythmic adaptation of literary and linguist assemblies pregnant with potential and purpose.  Cool words that rhyme and have beat using words from books and the street to make the most of your time.

Why then reflection upon invective and allegory sweet, captive in the basement of ones psyche only to repose hopeful of return to ignorance?  What fantasy makes you look at your time in prison with some weird desire for the familiar?  Minus cartilage the knees oft quite stiff lend judgment to steps taken or walkways not adventured.  Don’t walk up hill if you got bad knees.

Bold or inane, frequenting tales of harlots and brigands we sat top the livery when privy to uninformed herald and his sheep yet shorn.  We sat upstairs not caring if the conman below us knew we were watching him take advantage with his silver tongue.  Dusting off jackets for objective madness our lusts and philandery measured only in the history of our Iberian foundings.  Two Irish dudes drinking, fighting and chasing ladies as expected.

Of the mourn shall we sing when dawn does so bring illumination unkind to a sensitive spirit returned directly from the doorknobs and doorsteps of daydream.  Get the light out of my eyes I’ve just been awakened.We for this were well met like horse hand to vet prepared for the battle ensuing.  Old soldiers designed for this moment.

When shall we turn our heads in reluctance showing our posterior in trust as the minister bids us ado at this wake aficionado?   There are no volunteers at their own execution.  Upon the Lord we doth deposit our reserves believing the investment well spent and properly directed as recompense for the gifting.  We give everything to the Lord because he is worthy of our surrender.

Confidence man.  The small coveted whisper of the surly gent with the raised eyebrow and an over sized jacket leaning over with cupped hand to tell you something meant for no one but you.  The poker face.  Having heard the results of an horrible invention gone off to perfection, you rejoice internally but the outside must be calm waters for the digital flashers record every dimple, wrinkle and stain.  The churlish grin, adept in the surety that steps, measured, calculated steps have been taken by unseen men to put aside any response you were thinking of taking.  Falsified adoration, having recently left the arms of a passionate lover, yet knowing that was a moment, as the money, debt, family and true wealth lay within this loveless lifetime.  She asked that I never divulged where the answers were hidden to protect her claim to innocence and to avoid the successes of evil men, I always wondered why she disappeared after securing that pledge.

Secrets held by the mountains and valleys, peaks and passionate reckonings of man.  Are they good?  Is there ever a time when something being held in check from one party who couldn’t be privy to information of another party without a third party or perhaps themselves being inculcated in derision?  What then of the times when those to whom the knowledge is owed are kept from its handling, in the dark so to say?  What of the secrets kept from those who would desire or demand accountability for treason or Philandery or plunder?  Am I a lesser man for having demonstrated a willingness to expend a secret claim, disregarding oath, that all men might live free in the notion that nothing threatening to their lives, their honor, their pursuits be kept that they might be ill prepared or incapable of action?  What then of those whispers meant for ears select?  Is the validity of a secret only seen by those from whom the knowledge kept?  Or is there a noble, dark, handsome, refined character of man that would only share that which may be shared in privilege, in tribe, class or membership?  What then of the information  that would cure all men’s palsy but make some men wealthy beyond worldly consideration?

Secrets are false.  Tidings of some special relationship, held tight the knowledge with which entrusted, but to what end?  Dark pleasured things, disobedience, dalliance and evasive technologies, somehow become the playthings and apportionment of men who would increase their worth through representative fealty.  Is he of worthy character?  Then what of those quiet whispers kept by kings, of which their release to the ruled would set men marching or heads rolling?  What then is the value of a hidden kiss?  Men of intent, with ideals of their elevated understanding, determining the direction of families placed in the hands of those thought trustworthy without understanding of the nature of Secret Society and the ploys of engineering.  What then when secrets kept are the answer to the dilemma that faces normal man?  Shall those who have some conviction alarm them or simply play along for safety or self gratification and station?  This is the stage upon which we are set, players we, with some given ideas, knowledge and plans beyond our ignoble birthing.  What does fair have to do with it all?  This is life, this is war, to them the survival of the fittest and guess what we are their pray.

With all the manipulation that has been going on; social engineering, window dressing, gas lighting and false fires lit, it is a wonder folks would still have the capacity to adore the simple, plain old Truth.  We don’t associate or promote lying within our families, friendships or business relations but we tolerate career politicians, lawyers and members of secret societies who have professed the need to shape the truth to their liking.  Why is it that we truly want to believe that people are honest and true even after years of lets say sitting in the halls of legislation pushing their own agenda and having professional speech writers compose anecdotal fibs to maintain assured power?  Could it be that we want everything to work out to the best and although we intrinsically understand that they are not going to turn out for our favor we still fantasize about the possibility and therefore buy the headline that is being sold?  Isn’t that why we continue to watch the news, in hopes that some evening we turn it on and it’s all kittens, puppies, sunshine and rainbows?

Let’s take homelessness for example.  The cities are full of people living on the streets, defecating in the alleyways, behind dumpsters and making setting up their tents beneath the causeway.  We all remember the day when liberal thinking said that this is acceptable behavior because people should be able to live free and it is our national responsibility to give them a living wage.  So for years they have funneled them around by harassment, food coaxing, code enforcement and intolerance.  What are we left with now, the crevasses in cities jam packed with people who don’t have a cause or purpose are not assimilated into society and frankly have become a weight on the neighborhoods in which they temporarily reside.  Yet, we aren’t doing anything to resolve the problem.  Certainly we here manged bluster from politicians regarding a planning session or some grand study but no one has had the courage to tell the truth, that this society has systematically bred a new population of people who don’t want nor do not believe that they have to face any personal accountability.  The proffered mendacity.

Or let us regard the incoming flux of migrants who do not wish to become part of America but rather to change its face or rather be part of an organized deconstruction of this sovereign nation.  Certainly America yearns to see those wishing to breathe free find that hope, respect and love within our familial structure that they might realize the American dream, but this prevarication that people who will not assimilate into our population and social norms will somehow provide or become a welcome benefit to this nation is sold daily.  Many politicians have made a conscious decision because of power, money and continued supply of the same that they will lie indefinitely to maintain this recipe for failure.  Even the least educated among understands the truth of this indifference yet leaders having received advanced degrees seem blind to its simple clarity.  Proffered mendacity.

Perhaps the answer is to be less than hopeful about the future of America?  Ahh, this rings true, they want us hopeless that they might offer and we may accept any line thrown into the pond of social understanding.  Maybe people with little or low expectations are easy to lead, allowing those in perpetual power to profit all the more?  We know this is the truth yet we go to work, pay our bills, kiss our wives and kids and continue to put these people in office replete with the knowledge of their continued resolve to prevaricate.  No We were built on the ideal that if we work together and put out the brain and muscle power collectively that we could resolve these problems that will eventually arise in each of our journeys through life.  We were not born free to be sold the lie that puts in a personal cage.  We will stand for nothing but truth and demand that the same be taught to our children in the schools or we will educate them ourselves and keep the money you keep taking to provide that service.  This is not a game this is real life and it requires honesty that we may find our way in the dim of day.

So, thousands of years of the same old thing, leaders lying and we keep buying.  It will end when we say that we will refuse to accept the proffered mendacity that they keep handing out as wisdom every night a 5 and 10.  If I won’t eat the food that a restaurant serves me because it is ill prepared, sour or of poor ingredients, then they have to take it back.  The embargo should be on the information peddlers, the truth shavers, the prevarication pushers who come out daily and tell us the measure of truth that they have determined adequate for mastering their objectives.  Shut them off, shut them down, send it back, argue the points and show them new ideas that they are forced to realize we as a people, the people in charge of this great nation will no longer buy the lies they have been selling.

Be edified and Rejoice in the Knowledge and Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
