Hope springs eternal. President Trump had dinner last night with MAGA Governor Ron DeSantis….
.
CTH pointed out something a few weeks ago that bears repeating. There is a video which some have watched below; however, I would challenge readers and supporters of the America First agenda to re-watch the video with the sound “off”.
.
Keep the sound off and…. notice the mannerisms. Look familiar?
.
Faith…
All around us is this great sense of foreboding ugh, and it’s not just connected to an election, or politics; it’s everything. We notice it appearing on these very pages, in our conversation… in the expressions of our anxiety. Many things seem weird; many things seem not comfortable; many things seem less joyful and require an intensity of thought and focus just to carry-on what used to be ordinary events.
In our daily lives we encounter ordinary disconnects now. In addition to the increased tribalism, masked faces are disconnecting our sense of interaction, our human connection. Unfortunately, and as a natural outcome of these challenges, we are accepting disconnect and creating a void inside ourselves.
At the same time COVID is physically disconnecting people from their family. Many parents and grandparents will not see their adult children. Many friends have disconnected.
Amid all of this flux and ugh, even simple tasks somehow feel, sense, seem less joyful. Perhaps financial worry exists amid your home, your family or friends. Perhaps there is something destabilizing, we cannot quite describe it, yet we feel it.
Perhaps tears flow at times and we struggle to understand what this unusual anxiety is all about. Perhaps our own tempers are short, less willing to allow trespasses to be forgiven. Then, amid our human condition, we begin to struggle with the feeling of shame or guilt for being weak and allowing our humanity to pour out of our human-selves. Then, at the worst possible time our faith organizations are slow to understand the importance of fellowship and community amid an upheaval that takes our center from under our feet.
Regional leadership might even make this anxiety worse. As our grip on our familiar surroundings becomes more tenuous, we are faced with dictates and mandates that only exacerbate the issues. The media drumbeat an incessant noise that destabilizes us and yet we cannot quite put our finger on why the impact is worse now…. it is all ugh.
It is all just, ugh.
If you find the assembly of these words familiar to your current sense, first understand YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Second, understand there is nothing wrong with you. This blanket of anxiety is laying across our entire nation, and we are all sensing a various level of this ‘ugh’ with some familiarity. However, that said, it is important to know this is transitional. We will not be in this place long. This too shall pass.
How do we shake these destabilizing feelings and emotions?
How do we reconnect to the core-spirit we carry in our lives?
These are the questions we should use to leverage ourselves back to a center of peace and hope. These are the questions that empower us to recharge of our sense of purpose and life within the lives of others, including our community, family and friends.
♦ The first way we shake this ‘ugh’, is to give to others without reservation. Giving with purpose is the true spirit of human contact. The giving is not related to money or wealth; the giving is related to our human purpose. Perhaps we give a smile. Perhaps we give a kind word. Perhaps we give a compliment, or perhaps we just give time to another. You control your impact. You can choose to be the light that pushes back against the foreboding.
You could give a gift to another or perhaps send an email; or better yet write a letter to a dear friend or family member. Reach out and tell them they matter and express why their place in this life of yours is important. Remind them of your specific thankfulness, and connect to the purpose of why we endeavor in this thing we call life. The important thing is to give, and to do it without any other intent or purpose than to fill your own heart.
♦ Within the giving, remind yourself what this journey is all about and look around to recognize how fortunate we are to have this life. Choose to accept and cherish the ultimate gift from a loving God who wants joy and hope to permeate our human sense.
Hope is the one necessary human element beyond all other facets of life. Give the gift of hope and light to those you love by first reminding yourself of the gift that a loving God has given us all. It is too easy in our human sense to forget the biggest gift we have been granted, the gift of life. The ability to live and choose how we engage in the lives of others. We still have that… we will always have that.
No politics or false sense of security can overwhelm the message of HOPE that a loving God has provided. No effort of man or human disposition can surmount the greatest love of all. “No power of hell, nor scheme of man” can come close to the purpose of God’s intent and love for you as a unique person qualified to receive that love.
Wrap yourself in the blanket of that unconditional love.
Let the tears flow if needed and with them release the foreboding. Engage in the next moment with a loving purpose filled with the HOPE that He provides. Fall forward to the centered purpose of your life, a very special life, and reflect on the gift we are too quick to diminish.
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost.”
Revelation 21:1-6
.
A Prayer – Lord, help me to hear you saying, “I am your hope” over all the other voices. Lord, your word says, you are the hope for hopeless so I’m running to you with both hands stretched out and grabbing on to you. Fill me up with hope and give me a tangible reminder today that hope is an unbreakable spiritual lifeline (Hebrews 6:19-20).
God, you know those things in my heart that I barely dare to hope for, today I give them to you, I trust them to you, and ask that you because I know that you can do more than I could ever guess, imagine or request in wildest dreams (Eph 3:20). God, you are my hope and I trust you. Amen.
Abiding love to all.
Steadfast,
~ Sundance
Two men that need to be surrounded in prayers.
And we need to also be praying for our enemies as tough as that may sound.
DD
Its not hard to pray for their utter destruction — and why would you pray for anything less knowing what we do about the acts of our “enemies”.
King David would agree with you.
It’s good that you noted the “king” part, as that related to a specific kingdom chosen by God at the time versus those in rebellion against God. Let’s remember how pre-king David responded to the taunts of Goliath: “David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”” (1 Samuel 17:26).
What was spoken of by David in the Psalms and so forth reflected the reality of the time of the set-aside kingdom of God‘s people versus their enemies. Is there a nation set aside in like manner to that at the present time clearly representing the “armies of God” being led by God’s anointed at the throne of David?
Exactly, & this is something many people do not understand about imprecatory prayers, as they’re called, in the Psalms. Good article linked below for more on this, but here’s the TLDR version:
“Using imprecatory prayers from the Psalms today should only be done against our spiritual enemies (Ephesians 6:12). Praying imprecations on human foes is unjustifiable, as it would require taking these prayers out of context. In the New Testament, Jesus exhorts us to pray for our enemies (Matthew 5:44–48; Luke 6:27–38), but praying for their death or for bad things to happen to them isn’t what He meant. Instead, we are to pray for their salvation first and foremost, and then for God’s will to be done. There’s no greater blessing than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that’s what Jesus means by praying for and blessing those who curse us.”
https://www.gotquestions.org/imprecatory-prayer.html
Christ’s army. I’m a soldier for Christ and you should be too. He’s going to destroy them and he tells everyone to rejoice in their destruction. I won’t prop them up.
King David is my favorite!!!! He often prayed destruction down upon his enemies!
I think they key for us is to understand who our real enemies are.
I pray that they receive Justice – whatever that is. I am too limited to judge.
Why would we pray for our enemies and bless those persecuting and not curse? For the acres of Scripture relating to that spoken by Jesus, Paul, Peter…
Luke 23:34
“And Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they cast lots, dividing His garments.”
Romans 12:14-21
“Bless those persecuting you. Bless and do not curse; to rejoice with the rejoicing, to weep with the weeping; minding the same thing toward one another, not minding the things haughty, but going along with the lowly. Do not be wise in yourselves, repaying to no one evil for evil, providing right before all men; if possible of you, living at peace with all men; never avenging yourselves, beloved; instead give place to wrath, for it has been written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” On the contrary, “If your enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him to drink; for doing this, you will heap coals of fire upon his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
1 Peter 3:8-9
“Now the end: All be single-minded, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tender-hearted, humble, not repaying evil for evil or insult for insult; but on the contrary blessing, because to this you were called, so that you should inherit blessing.”
James 3:9-10
“With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, those being made according to the likeness of God. Out of the same mouth proceed forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.”
Hmm, guess I have to call off my Nasty Gram attack on McCathy and Mad Max.
.
Because Roman soldiers are adept at finding ways to make a conquered people suffer excruciatingly.
Curse a soldier, lose a tongue. How will you now offer praises to God or be able to preach the Gospel?
Keep your anger under control. God is well able to visit punishment on your persecutors.
I will not pray for anyone who is preying on America. Might as well pray for Satan.
Nobody is beyond the salvation of Jesus. God commanded that we love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.
Imagine the early church attacked by Saul…suffering immensely. I’m sure they followed the command of Jesus, and Saul, (Paul) went on to be the most ardent supporter of the church.
Imagine the results if Dem leaders had a Damascus road experience?
DD
I’m not aware of Jesus praying for the Pharisees or anyone of that sort. He treated them harshly and with disdain.
Could be helpful to consult Scripture as to who “they” were in each given situation:
Luke 23:34
“And Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they cast lots, dividing His garments.”
Acts 7:59-60
“And as they were stoning Stephen, he was calling out and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” And having fallen on his knees, he cried in a loud voice, “Lord, do not place this sin to them.” And having said this, he fell asleep.“
1 Cor. 2:8b
“For if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.“
I never said “they”. You did. I won’t pray for Pharisees and their evil comrades and neither did Jesus. He mocked them and condemned their hypocrisy. He treated them like the crap they were.
Sorry, but you don’t have the right heart about this. Your last sentence is proof enough of that. And I won’t say it’s always easy. I often find myself having to confess & repent of my feelings towards these people.
Just remember that by the measure you use it will be measured back to you.
I understand how you feel, I frequently pray that if those in power refuse to open their hearts to Jesus, that God will allow them to fall into pits of their own making. But I know that no one is beyond redemption. My eldest son rejects God. He won’t even enter into a conversation with us. I pray for his salvation daily. I am thankful that as long as someone is still living, then God can transform them. I pray that those in our government that know Jesus as their Savior will do what is right in His sight and those that don’t know Him will encounter Him and be transformed.
My prayer for our enemies is that they might turn from their evil ways.
Thank you Sundance. And Menagerie — I sense her presence too. Well said, well said, well said. God will guide us through this transition. Something wonderful is being born.
Spot on, Sundance. Blessings to you.
We have some real heroes out there fighting on our behalf: President Trump, Pompeo, Grenell, DeSantis, Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell. We may not know what is going on behind the scenes but, rest assured, we have not been abandoned. Happy Warriors, folks. Remain Happy Warriors. It will encourage those of like mind & completely confound the enemy. ?❤??
And they have not been abandoned by the millions of we Patriots!
That is the absolute truth.
We are still here.
Speaking of Pompeo….that isn’t he to POTUS’ right, is it?
body language – same as PDJT.
confronting the media, with no fear, and confidence in conveying the truth to the media knowing they wont report it.
Yes, Whiteboard…Trumpian gestures.
Even down to the jacket adjustment at 2:12
yep, my favorite is the palms out saying my chest is wide open – fire them weak arrows.
Many years ago I was trained in cognitive coaching. One of the parts of that training, when coaching teachers or anyone for that matter, was to mirror their body language. This allowed me to be in focus with the other person and encouraged a closer and more meaningful discussion. I found it to be absolutely true. I believe we see it in this video of President Trump and Governor DeSantis.
Correction… the video of Governor DeSantis at news presser. His body language that so clearly portrays our beloved President is received by his listeners who I feel unconsciously focus on the information given. I know I recognized immediately a MAGA hero, and the mannerisms used helped!!
You realize it is PDJT with the advantage of CGI — right?
Love the fighting spirit in DeSantis. Hopefully Trump is teaching him well. It will either be Trump in 2024 or DeSantis, but I like DeSantis for 2028. Will give him the needed time to groom his successor for Gov. of Florida.
Thank you for sharing this, Sundance. Your words are profound, and as always the case, most welcome and appreciated.
This was not what ” the big ugly” was supposed to be.
Well it sure as Hell was big AND ugly as sin. But this too will pass.
“We will vote to put this corrupt government cartel out of business. We will remove from our politics the special interests who have betrayed our workers, our borders, our freedoms, and our sovereign rights as a nation. We will end the politics of profit, we will end the rule of special interests, we will put a stop to the raiding of our country – and the disenfranchisement of our people. Our Independence Day is at hand, and it arrives, finally, in November. Join me in taking back our country, and creating a bright and glorious new dawn for our people. ”—Donald J. Trump, 2016…
The best IS yet to come
Rev. 21:1-6, the scripture I chose as one of several used in the funeral mass for my husband several months ago. It is one of great promise of God’s faithfulness to those called by his name.
Life really is beautiful.
~Only good thoughts for you and yours, cplgics.
Our God reigns!
I’m sorry for you loss. God bless you!
MY VSGPresident Donald J Trump has been cloned .
~>How many are there? ??
Not only sound off — look at the reflection.
There is much more going on here than meets the ear and the eye.
There is a reason Sundance is talking about “ugh” and anxiety: its in this video.
Deception is the sword: deepstate lived by the sword and will die by the sword.
“Gifts will be given” in full measure to how they were earned.
Every fighter on D-Day went ashore “giving” everything — not more than one or two went by hate and rage.
Consider what has to be “given” to who out of love for innocents and less capable around you.
There will be plenty of time for “loving” those close to us when the enemy/evil is far far away and you know it.
Always pray.
Words of wisdom. Amen.
Thank you for this reminder Sundance , very uplifting! I needed it.
Each of us gets to choose in our life if we will carry a basket of faith and hope or carry a basket of fear, you can’t have both. All the fear from others can effect us but spreading an encouraging word with a smile helps everyone.
Inspiring words and inspiring picture. Thank you Sundance.
Is that Mike Pompeo in the left side of the picture?
You are correct, FarmerRen.
Yes
I posted this yesterday evening and am inspired to re-post it today as it seems apropos of Sundance’s essay.
I would also like to add to Sundance’s very perceptive observations about the stress that we have been living under for over a year. It is undeniable that stress is a killer, albeit a silent one and our enemies in the Government and the Media have weaponized it just as they have weaponized FEAR.
I submit that stress and fear cannot abide with FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY (love).
Of all the amazing things that Sundance does, to me the most remarkable is his ability to give us HOPE. Things have been pretty bleak around here for the last few months since the election was stolen from our President Trump. Yet despite all that we have been through, Sundance has never let us down, not once, in the HOPE department.
I have been coming to this magnificent site for a few years now- time flies by at my age- and I am grateful every day for the Fellowship of the Tree House. There are so many wonderful people who come here, just like me, for the information, the congenial company and our daily reminder that it was Divine Providence who gave us our President Trump and it will be Divine Providence who again will save us.
I also believe that it is through Divine intervention in desperate times when they are most needed, that we are blessed with people like Sundance who is not just a gifted journalist, but also a prophet who reminds us that we are all spiritual beings, made in the image and likeness of G-d.
I am eternally grateful for the invaluable work that Sundance does but more so for the daily inspiration he provides with his writing.
Thanks, as always- the pen is surely mightier than the sword.
Well said Seneca. God Bless this Treehouse.
A heartfelt and mature response to the stress we’ve all been subjected to. Very well put and thank you for it.
Ohj Seneca the Elder, your writing is always so lyrical and just what we need to hear. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Meant to add…the resemblance of DeSantis’ mannerisms are uncanny!
DeSantis reminds everyone including the enemy there is not just one Trump.
….”We will not be in this place long. This too shall pass.” ~Sundance
I hate to use the phrase “we are legion” but that’s what comes to mind
Ohhhhh……, Sundance ?
~>You warm the cockles of my heart…… my soul.
Thanks –again.
Your own soul is nourished when you are kind…
Proverbs 11:17
Trust in the Lord and do good. Beautiful.
Love and prayers to Sundance & Co. and all Treepers.
I’m shaking it off by working hard to recruit, train and energize America First people. Our Republican club is working to vet and educate people. We’re looking at book lists and curriculum in our local schools and the board just vote NO CRT or SEX taught under 5th. Then only select books allowed. At the same time another group is working on our Board of Supervisors by having a team look at agendas, evaluate them & inform us so we can write & call. We’re also doing it on the state level. In AZ we’ve forced the RINO McCainites on votes and WE WON. Ducey didn’t like it but he’s going NOWHERE in AZ politics. Get on fire folks. It’s certainly up to us and we’re NOT happy campers. Lovin’ DeSantis. I wish we had him here.
Love what you said. Agree totally. What “Board of Supervisors”? Maricopa County? I wish but I get the sense you are Mohave?
Pima. The big blue county run into the ground by leftists. We’re going to this ship around.
AZchick….never, ever give up. Just….never, until the end. Hope/Faith is at the end. Thank you.
This is what’s needed now. Get involved locally, starting at the precinct level and on up. The state legislatures need to take back their state’s sovereignty under our Constitution. Too much power has become concentrated at the federal level.
There is no hope for change until the mail-in voting fraud scam is terminated. DeSantis cleaned up Florida voting fraud. Use his experience to correct the criminal behavior in those swing state precincts.
Imagine!
Imagine millions of Americans in all walks of Life, standing or kneeing in public and saying the Lord’s Prayer in unison! And asking the ONE GOD who is ALL LOVE, PEACE, JOY to guide us!
Imagine our leaders crumbling to the ground in tears, because of the changed attitude that flowed towards them from the PRAYER OF millions of people saying the same prayer in unison! White People, Black People, Old People, Men, Women, young people, all uniting in a spirt of LOVE and graditude pouring into the people praying and that outflow of God’s Presence spreading out into the world.
Imagine that!
(we got a taste of that feeling at some of Trump’s rallies, didn’t we. Now we have to depend on GOD to unite us again , and radiate, radiate, radiate!)
That would certainly be a Revelation if we could see a shot of all those woke FBI agents if they were kneeling in prayer instead of solidarity with blm.
Some time ago it occured to me that with there being “no absolute privacy”; as stated by James Comey, and the never-ending spying on Americans….. ,HOW can people communicate? The long used cod e s. Color, patterns; and their direction, hands, arms, fingers, head bobs….. and the timing and sequence of them.
I might also like to add:
“The Prayer of St Francis”
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring love.
Where there is offence, let me bring pardon.
Where there is discord, let me bring union.
Where there is error, let me bring truth.
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith.
Where there is despair, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, let me bring your light.
Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.
O Master, let me not seek as much
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love,
for it is in giving that one receives,
it is in self-forgetting that one finds,
it is in pardoning that one is pardoned,
it is in dying that one is raised to eternal life.
Anyone who plan trip to ITALY… visit place where St. Francis lived -Assisi- very peaceful, tranquil, very special place not only for Catholics….
Sound off is definitely the way to go. I talk with my hands so I’ve always loved President Trump’s gestures. I’ll be watching DeSantis with fresh eyes now. This was so much fun to watch.
Thank you SD for your inspirational words. The existence of this site is it’s own uplifting message. I’ve thought many times about how different life would be without CTH. I feel ugh too but never for long. Ugh doesn’t have to be a permanent state—not when we have God, each other and our great President and great Governor. ??
Amen
Thank you and God Bless You!
Rubio defended Antifa. He needs to be primaried and replaced by a great MAGA patriot.
Harry: Although FL is not my place of residence, I agree. Rubio has shown himself not to be helpful. He’s had plenty of time. He’s not going to change and a replacement is in order.
The necessary ridding and ending the present Left-wing Communist Totalitarian Democrat government may be sooner than I had been thinking. It may not be necessary for a Stock Market crash.
People are starting to “Feel” without the financial “pain”. The reconciliation appearing coming much sooner. A favorable result of the Arizona audit will be the needed catalyst.
yeees…also JB& Co’s disastrous warmongering policies toward Russia….
in Jesus name Amen
Thank you Sundance ! God’s Blessings !!!
Start Each Day With A Grateful ❤
There is enough grief & aggravation in the world without creating more……Shalom ???
Great Post! Thank you for reminding me of life’s purpose and meaning. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith meekness, temperance. If more people had this fruit of the Spirit in their lives things would look a lot brighter! God bless you, Sundance.
Amen ? +
That looks a lot like Pompeo at the very left edge of the still shot. That strikes me as interesting. I recall a tweet about a month or so ago by Mark Meadows: [parapharasing] “President Trump is putting together the next administration.”
Am I making something out of nothing? Dunno. This is certainly not nothing, though.
Thank you for this, Sundance.
President Trump runs in 2024 with DeSantis as Vice President— then DeSantis goes in next election 2028 as President.
President Trump returns in 2021! God will prevail!
My fondest wish.
Sunny …VSG/ESG PDJT…I believe he will continue his 2nd therm after “short break”…
What is it so difficult to understand there is no Trump 2024 or anyone else pro America unless fraudulent elections are remedied. Once you realize this to be the case, you will realize the 2020 election was not about votes but about rigged vote counting. What makes you think 2024 would otherwise be any different?
The fraudulent election has to be reconciled now and if so, Trump is President NOW.
right – so see my comment below
It’s not difficult — I didn’t forget 2020
I -like everyone else – is waiting for the election to be reconciled.
It doesn’t stop me for pushing and needing leadership that will put America First.
Dear Sundance:
Yes, prayer and faith are pretty great – but do you know what’s even better? Action. Do something: I’m Canadian and legally can’t get directly involved but I do have a prescription Americans can act on. How about putting it on these pages for discussion?
see: winface.com/oldwin/amt/maga2.html
Everything they do to separate, isolate, and control us is having the opposite effect.
Parents couldn’t see their grown children in separate households, but as a result each of our individual households became closer. And as our circle became smaller, we became stronger, not weaker. In our isolation we were forced to find our selves again, and perhaps even confront some things we saw about ourselves that we did not like. Some things that were once so important, now no longer were.
Working from home, a venture out in the afternoon for a dose of daily human contact perhaps resulted in the local barista with the blue hair, a pronoun button, and a cheerful “hello” becoming a new friend. And in an instant we got it. We remembered. We are all God’s children. All of us. And we are all flawed. Condemnation replaced by Christian love. And we looked around for other places to practice it.
God’s hand is at work. We are being transformed from the ground up, beginning at the most fundamental levels, a family, a household, a block, a neighborhood. Something is happening. Something they didn’t foresee. And when we all come out again, they will not recognize us.
The 2022 FL gubernatorial election is vital. The hordes of hell will be descending into FL to knock DeSantis off. We can’t let them do it. If FL falls to the Left, it’s pretty much game over.
We must all be invested in that fight. Trump understands this and so is already planning for the great battle in FL in 2022.
Patriots we have to lick our wounds from the 2020 defeat and stay engaged. Our country isn’t lost yet, though it truly stands at the precipice. We must support leaders like Ron DeSantis who can fight and are willing to fight for our values.
The timing is not 2022. The time is NOW.
I hope the RINOs will look at this so they can feel the way I felt when I saw that picture of Jeb Bush seated next to Romney on an airliner right before the Republican primaries were to start. You knew then the GOP establishment was rigged to push Jeb!.
The RINOs still rule the GOPe. Even Marjorie Taylor Green backed down on her America First caucus after the likes of Kinzlinger (!) mounted an attack and threatened any Republican who joined with losing committee assignments. It speaks volumes that Kinzlinger is in a position to make threats. Not because of any following but because he accurately represents the GOP establishment.
When this is all over, Kinzlinger is going to be lucky to stay out of jail.
“Then, amid our human condition, we begin to struggle with the feeling of shame or guilt for being weak and allowing our humanity to pour out of our human-selves”. This quote from your moving piece spoke to me especially today. Thank you.
” However, that said, it is important to know this is transitional. We will not be in this place long. “
I know this is meant to be encouraging, but it makes me think of that old line, ‘cheer up, the worst is yet to come’.
So much now depends on Arizona which could well be a direction changer. Without a substantial direction changer, it will be a transition from frying pan to fire.
Georgia is also working on a recount that the s.o.s. is now fighting…….so that helps! not/sar
Do a Google search on Ron DeSantis and you will already see that the eye of Sauron is trained on him.
The battle of Florida 2022 is going to be a major one and will portend what 2024 will ultimately bring for our country’s future.
Sundance, thank you for your beautiful words… and especially for the encouragements at the end.
DeSantis is my great Guv, and will receive my vote and support should he run.
But for me, it has always been Psalm 46;10 that runs deep within my soul – that constant reminder and the rock upon which I stand,
“Be still… and Know that I am God.”
This website has helped keep me sane for the past year or more. When even closest family have swallowed the fear porn and still believe the powers that be are at heart benevolent, the clarity and constancy of your messaging has been a godsend. I suspect that deSantis and the other resistant State Governors are all that remain between us and the ultimate dystopia. (I’m from across the Pond, by the way.)
Just took the time to read this one SD…the timing and message is what I needed today. Powerful…THANK YOU! God Bless You!
Wow! I really had never bothered to pay attention to his mannerisms, but now I can’t unsee it. If I cover up DeSantis’s face I would have thought it was Trump I was watching. You know, I used to laugh when Trump would do his thumb-up thing. Back at the start I basically rolled my eyes, thinking it was… I don’t know, kinda “corny” I guess. But little by little I changed, to the point that now I even find MYSELF doing it on occasion. I’ll be talking to someone at a store or wherever, and find myself giving them a thumbs-up in agreement about whatever. Weird. 🙂 (And now that I think about it, my wife does it too. 😀 )
??
?
Nice, but I sure do hate seeing all those kids wearing masks. 🙁
Yeah, me too?.
Masks are meant to silence us. Do NOT be silent!
A beautiful post. Thank you.
So much societal breakdown. “Then, at the worst possible time our faith organizations are slow to understand the importance of fellowship and community amid an upheaval that takes our center from under our feet.” How true.
