...thanks to many prayers and some good folks who've given me their strong shoulder to lean upon. God bless you - you know who you are.
Over the years I've become wiser to the ways of ass-clowns like the Clintons who are obsessed with controlling others, manipulate the system to their benefit and take advantage of folks unable to defend themselves against pure bullshit or too ignorant to give a damned in the first place. That's the reason why I keep this site going. It's not enough to just turn on the TV, see all the misery that goes on in the world today and walk away feeling like you are incapable of making any kind of difference, powerless to counter the evil that seams to have all but taken over this planet, but try we must, if for nothing else but to know that when you stand before God on the day of your judgment, He will know that you at least made the effort. Therefor I will continue to use this forum as my platform from which to wage war against the forces seeking to tear apart the very fabric of our society. I have found this to be one of my defining God given talents and I plan on returning that gift ten fold.
"Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. So also, the one with the two talents gained two more. But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
"After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.'
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
"The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.'
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
"Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.'
"His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
" 'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' . . ." -- Matthew 25:14-30
One thing that I have learned more recently is to not be as focused on the evil in our world and the snares of the devil, but to be focused instead on the light of our risen Lord. For as it is part of my mission here at this web site to help others see through the bullshit (or should I say "donkey shit") piling up around us, I must also remember that my focus should not be so much on ranting about what is wrong in society, but knowing and helping others to see and know what is right.
With that out of the way, let me say that I am truly saddened by the needless tragedy that occurred this past Monday, the 16th in Virginia. One of the victims was from my county and being heavily involved in equestrian riding, being from the same high school and graduating class as my younger cousin who was also an equestrian rider, I feel some sort of connection. I pray for the family's terrible loss. Sure, there are a million reasons why it happened and how it could have been prevented, but until today I have not heard anything that even comes close to the most dead-balls-on accurate explanation which I am about to share with you now. When I watched it, the first thing that came to mind was a phrase that my friend SondraK coined as "Today's Bowling Ball To The Head Award" and it was enough to break my year long silence.
