Who are we? What do we stand for and by that stand immediately stand against? Where are we going, and can we get there from where we are? Will we have to have a sizable reconfiguration of our collective intelligence to find that path? How do we retrain or gather the cooperative opinions of our future leader’s America’s youth? What must be banned in the short term to guard from repeated, further external erosive componentry? How do we limit insurgents from entering the country or inserting themselves within the Public foundations of America? Do we still have a national motto and what is it? Will we allow people to make millions of dollars on sports, entertainment or corporate events then utilize that marketing position to downspeak America or dance upon our values, so to say? Are there limits to free speech or must we tolerate the worst of the worst to protect the best from tarnishing? What are our dreams as a Country? Do we foresee a positive outcome in a future where all Americans are part of the successes? Is that future as a Capitalist Nation or will we succumb to some hybrid socialists format eventually leading to full blown collectivism? What do we tell our children about the founding of America, how do we break there hearts about the Coup that is occurring or counsel them that it never happens again? What do we do about the Universities as they are hotbeds of ethical, relativist, progressive, rebellious thinking? Should we reign in those who are highly critical of our government or perhaps entertain having them in the public square that their ideas may be dismissed or accepted? What are most afraid of, that some idea will be voted into acceptance above our own? What is great about America? Are we a fragile people or an ideal that is easily defended and defensible? How often do we send our military abroad and what is the nature and limitation upon our cooperation with foreign intelligence agencies both public and private? Do we require that all immigrants learn English and sign an unavoidable allegiance document that they will abide by our laws, respect our customs and remain productive members of society for a certain amount of years or surrender their opportunity at remaining? Do we take in all comers as the Statue of Liberty declares or have we reached a limit in America. If there are armed insurgencies or armies on our borders that are not under the control of our neighboring country does Congress immediately declare war upon them that the President may have the authority to protect our borders? Have we planned for a surprise attack by a major player in the world military and industrial market? Are citizens prepared in the event of any crisis of eventuality that they might not be left stranded to their own care in any event? Do we dissolve Washington D.C. for being a sham invented Capital of the United States Corporation, run by Roman Law to circumvent the will of the People? Do we allow this federal government to again have their own lands? How big should this government get based upon the amount of people in the country, what controls do we have set in place that it never exceeds that envelope? Who controls our money if not the federal government? How do we as citizens have a transparency group that serves our rights and protects us from the Government concealing what it thinks it needs to conceal without input from the People? Do we have a volunteer Corps of Americans with clearances who can see all materials and determine what must be shared with Americans? What do we do about starving people around the world? Do we allow other countries to simply mistreat their people, is that somehow our responsibility? Do we need the United Nations and for what purpose? Should they be upon our shores and what authority may they possess that supercedes the Rights of the American People if any? Should multinational Corporations, think tanks, Public Academic programs be setting policy for this nation? What are the limits that should be placed upon foreign cooperation in the determination of our government standing? Should Universities be disciplined if they breed insurrection against the United States? How are professors provided the breath and freedom of thought to build thinkers but also comply to the strict requirements for anti seditious behavior? Can this be controlled or is it simply a battle of Civil Activism and dollars? When are the lands owned by our government going to be turned over to the People as they have always been our property? How are we going to be assured of some governance over AI technologies that is currently being left to Quazi Governmental Hybrid Multi National Corporations and Billionaire dollars to pursue? Do we need to rewrite our documents to include a new American Pledge or understanding that they might be less easily penetrated? Who should make these determinations and how. Is the Q component an answer to future insurrection in America that someone anonymous within the administration will alway rise up to defend this nation even when infiltrators have effectively taken ground among U.S.? Where to next?

Yes there are mysteries, but contentment is only found in what you have before you. In search of mysteries you will witness the spectacular but miss the wink of a child’s eye or the loving hand of your wife upon your own. Do not quest for the stars and forget the good Earth around you, the struggle is sometimes the most stupendous scene available. If you are hungry you will be fed, but if you are insatiable nothing may console you. The wondrous desire to see the ends of the world will leave you wondering why you hadn’t gone further into the unknown. The greatest gifts are right beside you and there in your heart.

The universe is endless and beyond that void with no end you find God waiting with explanation of things we currently are incapable. This road is the one we travel, not the skylines of Mars or the harsh winds of Jupiter, but the cold breeze of winter’s calling right now. What then is so boring about making this life the best that it can become? What is so tragic that being blessed with children to carry on interrupts some personal quest for consequence and self evolution? What is so magical outside the yard that disappears each time we go around the fence to inspect it?

There is a place that is right for a man and man that is right for that place. Those with that singular understanding of what must be sacrificed to find the new worlds are not discontent with this life but fated to find the pathways to the next. However, their price is astronomical, in the contentment of family, friends and consistency lost. It is much greater thing for a man or woman to build from the gifts given early in the game, that they might produce 10 fold or 100 fold return on that original investment. Not all men are made for seeding, many are designed to feed, weed and sustain in preparation for harvest. The task is in determining your rightful place in God’s design. Are you looking, Are you asking Him, Are you willing to accept the answer even if it isn’t what you hoped and dreamt about?

Being Comfortable is all about contentment with the Right Here, the Right Now and understanding that everything changes, including the raging heart of man’s desire to discover the reaches of this world.  With what persimmon look do you review your corner of the sky? Or do you look upon today and thank the Lord for everything, good, bad and difficult with Joyful expectation of God’s Knowledge? I love you and pray for you peace on this day of Thanksgiving that briefly reminds us of what we should be in daily contemplation, the Grace and Mercy of Almighty God upon us all. In Jesus’ Name may you be filled with Peace and Contentment throughout the year.

If God demanded that we accept Grace and spend eternity by His Side would we? If He required our love and worship and set a tight regimen for us to pray at certain times per day would we love Him? If He remained distant, appeared only a threat against that day of judgment would we be in relationship with Him? If there were no changes in this lifetime, sanctification or transformation would we place all our hope and faith in that hereafter? What if there were no way for us to get rid of our sin, would we invent reincarnation that we might somehow at some distant lifetime become free from its curse? How do you believe the Jews are feeling since they have not been able to be free from sin since 70AD at the destruction of the Temple? Life could be much more difficult than it is. God loves you and gives you the choice to love Him Back. He provided the pathway to redemption and an end to the war between Him and Man, but it is all by choice, for that is the only place to find Truth, Trust and Love.

What have we invented to govern the people in our societies? Utopian dreams, nightmares of an angry, distant God or millions of gods in every leaf, tree or building? What have we carved from wood, stone or gold to sit on our mantle, at the doorway or in the garden to remind us that we are not alone and that some manner of fortune connects to the spiritual realm? To what have we given our children as offering for prosperity and posterity? What cruel rituals have we endorsed to set ourselves free from the curses of humanity in a world that seems fickle and unfair? What dark things occur nightly as obeisance to those in shadow for the quest of power and relevance?

There are only two schools; those who need God or gods and those who don’t. Within the school of those believing that there is a higher power there are those who humanize, demonize or fantasize about gods and there are those who have heard the Word of God and feel compelled to be obedient to those guidelines of the law and the prophets telling the story of what God has written. Someone has to be wrong. For those who do not need God I would ask them to investigate for a moment the motivations in this life and perhaps they will recognize themselves as the god of this lifetime. We all serve it is merely a question of the Matter; the who or what that we serve. In which camp are you? Someone will be fooled and someone right at the end of this play called humanity. I bet you think it is going to be you?

God intervened on behalf of men as we chose a road that led to destruction and self or service to the fallen. There was a chasm we could not cross that led back to God and Christ provided His Life as sacrifice to become the bridge that led back to Righteous Standing with God. God loves us so much that He leaves that door open to ALL who wish to be redeemed, by belief in His offer of Mercy and Grace. For it is in the choice that man can truly determine the nature of His acceptance and Love. That does not free us from the eventuality of God’s outcome, for it will come regardless of what we choose. It is just a treasure to know that God loves us enough to provide the way and allow us to choose that way or our own way. In Jesus Name I walk this path redeemed to my Creator and free from Sin, Death and Hades. Grateful.

Know the stars at the center of your universe. Even as child, restful in the ideas and dreams that drove you through life’s passages. Were you clear, resolute, decided and sure about the things that made up matter and mattered most to your heart? Was life certain, defined, established and sensible in all its frailty such that doubt never encroached upon that determination? Never shaky, always sound, lashed to rail with no pitch or yaw.

Isn’t it a journey for just that reason, because in its unsurety, its undetermined possibility life becomes the reason for our discovery? Some may say that they knew, but when we discuss it with them who knew them better we find another story entirely. This is about doubt, bad decisions and a quest for determining what makes each of us tick. Not about convincing ourselves and those around us that we have always been and will always be contained, prepared and unshakable.

There was nothing certain about my past, present or future until I made that decision that sets each human apart from the temporary to investigate the everlasting. I am the epitome of that man who never meshed with his surroundings, never fit in, never felt comfortable in his own skin, because this skin was never meant to be fulfilled in this lifetime. Some experiences may not be found until accepted into the Kingdom, to pursue those dreams of a life spent as we were meant to be. Fortunately, we will be able to realize our true desires and fit in completely in the real life to come.

I have always been a traveler in this world. Desperately seeking that opportunity to settle down, put down roots, find a family and spend all that wonderful time just getting older. However, that has always been the fantasy that created the stress that never quite measured the silhouette of true destiny. Some were not meant for this world, just temporary assignee. This seems strange to most who believe that the answer to their dreams lay within the confines and limitations of mortal life, but my greatest achievements were not meant for this time.

I will be at home when I am with the Lord to be the creature that I even now can only stretch to imagine. Certainly I sing, in joy, love in strength and fight with veracity and the ferocious fealty of devoted man. However, my passions extend beyond the horizons of this lifetime into the next when the wisdom of the ages will be manifest for my application. I will never subdue or diminish this crucible that prepares and provides patience, but there is one thing of which I have become readily certain, that there is no answer to destiny for me here, this is preparation for the real to come.

In Jesus, I live.

As I am the origin of my own thinking, does that grant immediate license to believe that my thinking then establishes new parameters with which to diagnose the disease of humanity or the collective awareness of my empirical wisdom as the ethically relevant basis of moral conductivity? Am I the center of objective thought in my subjective determinations just because some philosopher or scholar says that my only solace is in “free thought”. What if I am freer within the explanation of God’s Objective Truth than I have ever been within the intellectual or experiential constructs of man’s paradigm?

When are we going to forgo smoking the same pipe that Eve refused to pass along? When are we going to realize that the pursuance of our sensory intelligence, epiphany or revelatory experiences deconstruct the foundations of the stars replacing them with our own progeny? When will science admit that the smaller or bigger items become as they are scientific, experimentally deconstructed the more complex the building blocks of the universe appear to remain? At what point do we eschew pursuance of that same blind road to our own awareness through experience that we accept the truth that each of us was given before we became a thing within the gateway to this world our material Mother’s Womb?

Yes, experiences should be sought, yes, experiments conducted as we are the only species that looks to determine the “how” of the things happening around us. However making this experimentation or the expectations of revelation from these outcomes is denying the Truth to chase some measure of comfortable explanation for the universe around us.  Especially to say that these experiential revelations become the basis for a societal understanding of “free thinking”.  Why is it so mandatory to ignore the objective truth that is God in order to have free thought?  It isn’t but the enemy would have you believe that is mandatory to become free.  This is the lie he has been proffering for the ages. Additionally, it is tantamount to self destructive journey for a nation that believes its rights are based upon the gift from a Sovereign God in their inalienable capacity to ignore that foundation in attempt to redefine something more comfortable for our own constitution.

Discernment comes from crying out to God for wisdom who gives it liberally to all who ask for it. That is the truth of God’s Word in Proverbs 2. We have choice to pursue man’s irrational dismissal of God as the origin and end of creation in their self minded pursuit of developing an alternate origin or end to escape the Judgment that God promises all men. Yes, free thought is available as God promises to those who abide in His Word and become His disciples and are given the Truth which sets all men Free. Beyond that any direction given that leads us to self-dependent thought as the origins of objective reason or Truth when by nature all our thinking is “subjective” is a fool’s errand to be happily handed out by fools to watch others fall around them. It is not necessary to stay in the woods and only read the Bible. God invented Time Warp and Space Travel and matter itself capable of splitting apart with the energy to destroy us all.

It should be studied but not in a vacuum that excludes its origins or warnings from the outset. AI should be investigated, but right now we are bolting headlong into something for which we have no controls and don’t even understand what the cork looks like to be put back into the bottle when we’ve opened it. Believing myself, arrogantly so as the origin of Objective Truth is the ticket to the greatest miseries man may ever experience.

Don’t be dumb or uneducated, but neither believe that when you become educated that it somehow makes your experiences, knowledge or understanding the basis for a world that God created for you to investigate. Caution is prudent. Arrogance is the last step before a fall. And believing myself the origin of objective thought is asinine to the Nth degree. I pray for us all as this is the division of mankind between believers and people of faith, this is that line, knowledge is not power it is the promise of satan to overcome God. The Lord rebuke Him if He so chooses. In Jesus’ Holy Name.

Thankfully brought to my knees, Lord. No living or dying by the sword. A body this body to believe of one accord, living divine purpose toward, eternity none can take a loss to afford. See this is the time for choice, a day to lift our voice, filled with Spirit we rejoice called upon by passion each in form or fashion that beating and the lashing taken none may simply cashin without faith were left within the dark. No light without a spark or fuel to feed to fire, forgiveness without desire no word to cleanse or to inspire, making God a liar.

What then is left to man, armed with his own plan, cheering as his only fan a fickle handed fate born too early or too late loving within my sense of hate, failure to negate the impact of the plan effecting each and every man from Benjamin to Dan no matter how far we ran, confronted, hunted, wanted, wanton left heaving, huge gulps of breath deceiving never got believing the burden’s He’s relieving were just not worth receiving. Cooking without fire.

In this glory hope, way beyond my scope no vicar or the Pope just a relationship with Jesus, He sees us, from the inside out, knows what we’re all about, each action and every shout, faith and even doubt the arrogance we tout. The fasting and the praying, the hidden or displaying the leaving and the staying and all the Words worth saying. Left with no excuse no politics or muse for purpose of misuse no opportunity for recuse. A single Burning Briar.

Days filled with reason another season with leaves and trees and breeze so brisk it knocked my knees then brought a great big sneeze. Left with empty hand no scar or grain of sand just as He had planned to make of me demand that I could not understand without gifting or canned phrase to me miracle or maze the wonders He displays never cease to amaze, my gifts are fed to blaze casting light upon the ways and paths from night to days. Hopping fields and wire.

Forgotten are the pleasures as are the golden treasures left only soulful measures of how I lived for God. Shod with souls of peace we nod at the increase thinking odd to doubt in promise or Trust in what we must place our promise, no regret or remiss we dismiss the life gone bye no tearful itchy eye or question pondering why to heaven or just bust even forgetting how we once cussed our cadre stand nonplussed for the promise that we must hold our heads that much higher.

When you aren’t that hungry you just don’t eat right. What has happened to your appetite, my Son? Have you been intrigued by the fascinating display of thought and inquisitive reason feeling compelled to participate and in so doing losing focus on the righteous things of meditation and song? Have you set for yourself idols upon the mantle to gaze upon in hopeful wonder, looking to things crafted of wood and metal to provide for your blessings? Have you simply lost interest in the mysteries of the Word seeking miracles and signs and never seeing them in response?

The squirrel’s are every where, bright shiny objects of wonder and sound. They flash, sizzle, shake and twirl, capturing attention, diminishing focus and producing catatonia. In their spectacle the magic sustains your awe an awe reserved for God alone. What then in this temporary world suffices replacement of the eternal majesty and infinite depth of God’s gift’s of wisdom, insight and understanding? Measure your measure for soundness sake.

Atop the mountain you sit. Are you pondering the upcoming visit with God on this Holy Ground or capturing and seeking the valley views below, taking in every sight, bird flight and wind swept field wanton in return? There are moments that take your breath away do they pale those that give you breath? What song plays within the concordance of your heart? What evidence of contentment is reflected in your baited breath seeking social recognition? Who are you and who are you meant to become? Is this the road to reason or sanctification for both may not be traveled by these narrow feet. Perhaps pause is the order for this moment.

Does it matter what happens? We will be left in reaction to whatever occurs, why then must we master its prediction or feel failures in life’s equipping? This road is paved by God and its direction, twists, meetings and reflections are all provided to achieve specific objective? Must I be perfectly aligned to my own understanding to foster this mission accomplishment or consistent with the folds and flows in flux of a pathway perfected in His Timing, Saturation and Station? Chomping on the bit ruins my teeth and lays raw the edges and corners of my smile.

Yes, Lord, we both know what has been going on here. Thank you for allowing its admittance into the record of my unwillingness toward congruence in persistent tangential impulses. One accord is what we seek. Please forgive the childish responses to stimuli and begging at the counter for something I should not have or want. In Your Precious Name I sing, learn and walk. Jesus, My King.

For those waiting to accept Jesus until He is physically standing in front of you, unfortunately for you that time will come but it will be to administer justice against those who have risen against Him. The fact that you are waiting for that proof will undoubtedly and regrettably include you in that remainder of people deserving of His Wrath and Judgment. Failure to decide has always been ground for a decision in this world.  If you fail to help your child when choking, you have made a choice. Failure to leave the seen of a crime makes you legal accomplice to that crime. What then is your defense for not taking God’s current offer of Forgiveness, Mercy, Cleansing and Escape of His Wrath? You are not choosing by choice to not choose for whatever reason that is the one unforgivable sin is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. In turning down God’s offer of the seal and indwelling of His Spirit you are blaspheming that offer of Grace. So if you are waiting for God to show up in order to believe, you will get that wish but it will not turn out well for you at that meeting.

I get it that you want to taste of life on your own as in any adolescent. You want to be free to make your own decisions and enjoy your life on your own two feet, pursuing your dreams free from the burden of answering to elders.  How is that working for you? Last time I checked’ you have a boss you don’t like, a wife you cannot stand being around because she constantly nags and kids who can’t stand being around you because you always pursue your goals and desires and not theirs. You don’t have the money you wanted, the dreams you wanted and you are stuck listening to a bunch of people tell you how to live your life. Or there’s your Brother, who has nothing, does nothing, believes in nothing but eats when he wants, sleeps when and where he wants and drinks all day because that what he wants to do. Last time I checked you thought he was a fool.  He thinks the same of you.

The greatest mistake in our thinking is that the God who created us for a purpose and loves us dearly enough to send His son to die that we might be saved and redeemed to Him, doesn’t have the best plans, the best intentions and the greatest understanding of the absolute best road for us to travel through this life. Can we stop being so frail, so palsied in our understanding, so ill equipped to make sensible decisions that we see the truth and the wonder in the preceding statement. God made me. God knows what I was made for. God has the power to make whatever He wants happen in my life, including miracles that lead me to joy. How can I do a better job at running this life by exercising my poorly considered decisions, based upon partial information when all I can think about is when my belly is next filled?

If you are waiting one more day to make decision about Christ, remember that one day you will waiting a day that is the Last One. What if this is that Last Day? If you knew that it was tonight you would be on your knees right now begging Him for forgiveness. Or maybe you would just let it pass and accept it as fate that you have been included with this wicked world and the fallen. I don’t know your heart, but HE Does. That is why there is no excuse because choose or not choose you will get exactly what you are seeking by a perfect judge who Knows YOUR heart. I pray that your heart is clean and that you choose Life everlasting in Jesus Christ today. However, it is your choice to make unless you don’t choose then it will be made for you. I don’t have the authority to make that choice or the subsequent judgment but HE DOES>

In Jesus’ Name I pray for you today.

Evidence is fine in matters of court. Presuming innocence is the fair minded reality of a Sovereign Society that protects all citizens from despotic false accusation and imprisonment. What then is the proper method to look upon evidence in matters that are based upon a faithful belief without such evidence?

We are highly blessed and have the avenue to approach and please God because we have eschewed the requirement of evidence in our pursuit of a relationship with Him. It is not that evidence would be dismissed when it is presented in His appearance before us, it is that evidence is not a requirement of faith. In fact, a demand for evidence becomes evidence itself of a believer’s lack of faith. Does this present an additional barrier to belief or produce an obstacle to discipleship?

Clearly those seeking evidence will be the largest segment of those having not accepted the gift of grace for absent that requirement of proof they will not surrender. However, this is a benefit for many things in this life exist without our ability to rationally explain them, black holes, quarks, deja vou, gravity. Yet we believe in all of these anomalies, assuming at some point that we will be given the evidence or rise to level of understanding commensurate in accepting them as fact. Is faith a discipline consistent with this “wait and see” acceptance?

For some this may be effective argument, but a true acceptance of grace is rarely associated with a factual proof of an evidentiary argument, as in the case with Thomas the Apostle. For how many will have the opportunity to see the Christ standing before us in order for us to accept and believe? Well, none it appears. So, in this day and age we are left with the requirement placed upon us by God in that He clearly wanted us to make a choice based not on evidence but upon a spiritual understanding of the objective Truth that is God’s Existence.

Did people believe in God before Jesus came, of course, having seen His hand in their lives, having seen His Masterful Work in the creation around them, but it was still a thing of faith above all other evidence? It is possible that Christ was the evidence of God provided for our understanding. However, any way it is viewed,. faith remains an ideal based not upon evidence or proof but upon Spiritual Understanding and acceptance of something greater than our intellect.  For if I only believe in things that I can explain and understand than I am a fool dismissing the majority of a world that confronts my rational sensory acceptance.

God does not need my belief in order to exist, for that makes me the center of the universe and its definitions, which clearly do not depend upon me for anything. God defines the universe, we are merely observers of that candid definition we often struggle to explain and tolerate. We all die, it is a fact that is inescapable. Yet man continues to find evidence to suggest that somehow we can be immortal without God’s intervention. The angels are immortal, yet they owe that immortality to God’s design. Our Spirits are immortal yet again owing the same debt of invention to the Lord. Why then would the creator of all things require evidence of His existence as a prerequisite for belief in His Rules, Parameters, expectations or offers of Mercy and Grace? He wouldn’t. God does not need me to believe, He offers me the benefit of that belief without proof, called faith, without which it is impossible to please Him.

I don’t care what evidence you produce to the contrary, God to me is the Truth that I wholly and completely accept in faith. This faith provides a foundation upon which my world may not be shaken or moved. That is enough evidence for me. In Jesus’ Name.

Lord why so many questions? What internal compunction drives me to know? If I were content but to view instead of review this world would appear less complex. Is my analysis a worldly urge and urgency or something placed in my DNA as prompting to seek answers? What is this grand internal pressure that I should know that which I presently do not? Didn’t they say that somehow ignorance is bliss? How then do I create my own discontent in the quest for revelation?

Even now I am asking you questions about my questioning spirit. Am I incapable of simply being observer and learning through the quiet sensory reflection upon visual stimuli? Must my mind and mouth be attached that upon my lips appears immediate question of what I have seen? Why must I take apart the watch to discover its inner workings in presumption that there is some elevating concept in “knowing” its origin? And when confronted with that origin finding that it creates even greater questions about the maker of that origin, isn’t that the answer to my own line of questioning?

Did you make me to seek you from the word go, when as a child I immediately began to ask everyone around, WHY? What is the origin of this inquisitive nature this prompting to analyze with these senses over which I have little mastery? Data, data, data, swamped with data, over which there is little escape but to wall oneself off in a dark plaza. Are we made to be susceptible to sensory input as a production or device of enemy tactics to overwhelm the receptors that they near or find incapacity and overload? What then is the mastery or reluctance and tolerance or control of input? Are there limiting powers given within rebirth that protect these receptors from any unwanted or spurious data? Do we have filters? Is that the answer that somehow we are in You protected from this bombardment of fiery data darts or sinful visualization, auditory or epithelial input?

Father, I am always on a quest to understand, to know the comprehend, seeking controlled mastery of the world around me. Is the victory in life the decision regarding process? Am I to be given that knowledge by Your Hand for the asking instead of biting the fruit of the poisonous separation from you in seeking it through my own line of questioning? That sits well with my stomach. Yes, that is it, that I am to come to you with my questions and they will be answered in perfect timing with clarity and purpose, rather than seeking knowledge of my own accord which opens me to the wiles of this deceptive enemy. Putting the collection of knowledge first on my priority list creates enmity with you because it is looking to the world to answer the questions you stand ready to provide. I acknowledge you in my quest for understanding, depending not upon my own, but fully reliant upon your direction and provision as to what I should know and when. Thank you for bringing me contentment that I no longer seek power, control and comfort through the quest and limitation of my carnal inputs and analysis, but look to the eternal wisdom of God for revelations beyond my static capabilities.

You are My King and My God, it is you alone that I follow, In Jesus’ Mighty Name.
