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
“Perhaps tears flow at times and we struggle to understand what this unusual anxiety is all about.”
Thank you Sundance. You put your finger on a very sore spot.
AMEN and AMEN, my brothers and sisters.
Amen, dear Brother in JESUS.
Some more optimism here to contemplate and share: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/i-object-start-turn-against-woke-tyranny/
Yay Team! 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement and fellowship, Sundance, Menagerie, Ad Rem, and fellow Treepers!
Yay for “the phoenix”…… ?
Does anyone know who is sitting on the other side of President Trump?
Looks like Mike Pompeo.
It is.
It is.
I don’t think its Pompeo. The nose doesn’t fit.
Here is a photo from a better angle
I hope it is Pompeo. My favorite quote from him, was regarding bounties:
“So lets backup, lets backup, a lot of what you said suggests knowledge I don’t think you actually have (heh).”
I saw the Covid train coming last March. Got very angry for a few days. Saw the riot train coming in May. Got very angry again for a few days. I REFUSED TO ALTER MY CONDUCT, PERIOD!! I do not wear a mask, except to fly. A woman asked me at the store where my mask was and I told her, “Ma’am, I don’t wear a mask. Have a good day.” That was it other than telling her I hoped she stayed well after she said the same to me. We can be polite while not collapsing and caving into the lies that surround US. I am polite and kind to mask wearers, even though they annoy me to no end.
My family and I will in no wise be getting the vaccine. Most people I know refuse to get it too.
Trust the Lord Jesus Christ. Stand your ground where you live. Don’t be afraid to refuse to capitulate to the insanity that has gripped our nation while keeping a good attitude. Fear and anger only pollute our hearts and minds. I know my God has been faithful to me through various trials, and He will continue to guide and protect me. May He guide and protect you. God bless you.
I took my last commercial plane ride in 2007, after 30 years and a million+ miles – I will never fly again, it was destroying my life for the same reasons that Sundance so eloquently writes about here today. I would become almost uncontrollably angry watching little old grandmas and grandpas, and small children being manhandled, physically tortured, and strip searched by blue gloved and shirted goons and goonettes, while standing in line to get my own dose. Day in and day out, several times a week. It was quite literally maddening, and I had to walk away from it before I did something jailable. I see now that it is a good thing, as the addition of masks to the humiliating and undignifed regimen would have been the straw for this old camel’s back.
Don’t fly, and break their back instead. United, Delta, American (Ha!), all of them. It is inhuman and undignified, and it will destroy you. Think long and hard about this, and find, and make work, alternatives.
I agree, TSA, sucks. Interesting that these intrusions into our liberties happened under the watch of Republican Presidents. All the more reason to trust Jesus Christ.
Two wings of the same bird, Eliza – God bless!
This is the site that explained the UniParty after all.
Reagan and Trump are the only modern presidents who weren’t in the UniParty, and were the most effective and most beloved.
I enjoyed your post.
Sadly many are under mask mandates and have no choice.
If you can help free the rest of the country without losing your own peace and joy, it would be a blessing.
But your story is quite inspiring.
Read Jeffrey A Tucker, Dr. Naomi Wolf, Alex Berenson on Twitter for good info about COVID/Vaxxes. I don’t have an account but I read these people. Go to aier.org for research to send to govt officials. If more of US get informed and petition our govt for redress they cannot ignore us. Don’t wear a mask. It is your right. The nation has to be ADA compliant and HIPPA protects your right to medical privacy. The more of US who stand up to the tyranny the more they will back down. And just like fear is contagious, so is courage. Keep a stern face but be ready to be kind. God bless you.
At about that same time, I was flying 100+ flights a year, clearing the TSA gauntlet over 60 times a year. I did just the opposite. I learned their rules and procedures. Every time I went through security I made them earn their money. I would get to the airport and hour earlier just so I would not be pressured by the issue of missing a flight. My favorite tactic was Nexus, the US-Canadian program for pre-screened travelers. it required fingerprints and an iris scan. The card was used on both sides of the border to more quickly clear immigration. It was an early trusted traveler program.
The neat thing was the the Nexus card was an official ID that was to be accepted by TSA. It was the only one that I would use. They would look at it and turn it over and over and look at me and ask, “Do you have any other ID?” I would say “The Nexus card is an acceptable form of ID per your regulations.” I would show them the info from their own web site. I would stand there at the document checker until they approved it. I would get bumped up to supervisors and managers. The worst was one time that the director of the airport TSA/Homeland security got involved. It was the busiest travel day of the year-Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I was there 45 minutes but was finally allowed through.
In dealing with the TSA, as long as you are looking at someone with a TSA uniform and a tin badge, you are dealing with petty bureaucrats. When you finally get to talk with someone wearing a suit, you are in the big leagues. I got to meet a lot of “suits.”
When you are right and the regulations are on your side, you can not lose and they know it. All they have to threaten you is time. I always made sure that had more time than they did. One down side is that my wife refused to go through security with me. I would catch up with her at the gate.
Thank you for the perspective, VibeMan – I do not suffer fools well, I tip my hat to you. Still and all, commercial flight is the Greyhound of travel. I only strive now to make the journey the trip.
I stopped flying in 1996. I was like you, one of those 4 to six flights a week. The rules were just starting to onerous for me so I stopped working at the business that required all the travel, scaled back obligations and retired 3 years later. I found I enjoyed driving to Florida much more than flying.
I will be driving back down to Florida this week, gotta see an old friend who is not long for this mortal coil. I will arrive in Zen time, with my dignity and grace, and humour, intact, so that I may share it with him one more time before he goes. I’ll be avoiding Denver, KC, St Louis, Nashville, Atlanta and Tallahassee, and enjoying the backroads as I go. I’m just a middling old white guy, haven’t graduated to very yet. I traded the career travel for peace, as well. Good on ya, mate!
Well, Jeff, I have a much different take. I too have traveled many untold miles by commercial air. Now, at 72, and after going through the TSA “feel-good” phony security motions many, many times, I am quite HAPPY to take everything out of my pockets and toss them into my briefcase, put my laptop and coat into a little bin to be x-rayed, walk through a metal detector and proceed to the gate.
I quit Delta, United and American long, long ago before Covid, because they cancel flights AFTER CHECKIN and lie about the reasons and don’t care how it affects your plans. I fly super low cost Frontier out of Denver to Destinations all across America. For example we’ve flown to New Orleans with my wife round trip total $98. Cleveland for $48. Less than a full tank of gas in my full-size SUV. We’ve been to The Free State of Florida 5 times since a year ago today and love the people, the places and the beaches. You’re missing out on a lot of Good Times; meeting Good People, and the exercising your God-given Freedoms.
I suggest that Delta, United, and American haven’t missed you (or me) one whit. See you in Bozeman, or Charleston, or St.Augustine, or Santa Fe, or anywhere but NYC, Chicago, Minneapolis, or Detroit.
I watched the DC10 cartwheel into the ground in Chicago, and arrived at DFW over the still smoking wreckage of the L-1011 that got microbursted into the ground on final. I felt like my number was coming up. Riding a plunging aluminum tube filled with zero-G vomit and screams is no way to go. And I’m not missing a thing, I love to drive! I will not submit. God bless, may your luck continue for you!
Yeah I feel more angry than down. We’re really finding out a lot about who’s real and who’s a fraud. Like my local Church. Still closed. No balls. Looking a lot like no Faith to me. There’s more. I could go on and on but I think you get the point. Lots of people folded quickly that I had hoped to see better from.
These caving churches really are the problem. Unified to stand for freedom nothing could stop us.
Churches created the abolition movement, civil rights movement and are the reason for the foundation of America.
Now they fight the wrong battles, lose them, then get battle scared and frightened and do nothing when we really need them.
And some are full on bought off like those helping destroy the country with the immigration fraud.
Like the UniParty, when Marxist and fake religious both do the wrong thing you end up with the same satanic result.
Call it the “Mike Pence” syndrome.
Really vital reason we must pray for repentance and revival starting in the church. So many have gone astray casting God’s Word behind their backs to wallow in the deception of man’s writings and sinful opinions.
That was one of the biggest disappointments for me, seeing my fellow American citizens cave to callow fear without taking the time to research and exercise their critical thinking skills. All in the home of the brave and the land of the free.
They already know all about their insane, destructive mask policies. Read it and weep!

No-one liked the tomatoes.
But I don’t see how De Santis gets elected President while the left control the voting process.
It’s still legally possible to truck in 135,000 ballots with 131,000 of them voting left and 4,000 voting otherwise. The States are yawning, the UniParty doesn’t mind at all.
“No one liked the tomatoes”, and I’ll bet they were not drinking Diet COKE.?
A true story. While driving from San Jose down to the Imperial Valley in 1973, my then father-in-law asked me to noodle on this question. Since his company (FMC) had invented the automatic tomato picker and he was a VP involved in the project, we were driving down to have a look. He asked me, a computer guy, “how does the machine know which tomatoes are ripe for picking?” Well, I noodled for about 2 hours and finally gave up. I said the computers available for the job were too large to fit on the machine, fiber-optics were still a dream and just using compute power the job couldn’t be done. He said “we found out the same result about computers after spending a couple of million dollars, so we went over to the AG side of the business and they said the answer was simple; just make all the tomatoes ripen at the same time.” Now, when you go to the grocery store and see all those boxes of tomatoes, all exactly the same size and color, you know that you have been eating genetically-modified tomatoes since at least 1973.
Yes… dominion is alive and well, as are their “voting” machines which will be used by MANY states in 2022…
People forget how screwed up Florida was, for decades, during Presidential elections. RINO after RINO promised to fix it, but somehow it never got fixed.
Then DeSantis was elected.
No more Broward County stupidity.
The elections have to be fixed at the state level. Focus on fixing your state. There were only 5 states with insurmountable problems last election.
Citizen Trump has been a problem solver his entire life. That is what made President Trump so formidable, even with his own party stabbing him in the back. If we all do our part it will put the fear of God in the RINO’s, leftists and progressives.
It will work on the Democrats as well.
Yes and no. Yes, DeSantis singlehandedly stopped the bleeding in FL which requires him to be there for a bit to keep that up.
We really need a unified push against the new move which is the 6 state steal.
Dems have concentrated on increasing their fraud in blue cities, stealing the civil rights of minorities, to get the numbers over the top statewide and nationally.
So they’re doing this in states that are actually red, but with blue installed puppets like Michigan and the rust belt.
We can’t rely on locals to fix Dems disenfranchising, vote stealing trapped slave minorities.
Going to have to address the voter fraud in Detroit, Philly, Atlanta etc
I’ve caught myself borrowing Trump’s mannerisms when I want to be emphatic. I can’t help it — very effective.
Powerful! Thank you!
What a gift this post is. It helped some tears flow. I thank God for CTH. I heard Rush Limbaugh say one time it was his favorite source. And I have come to find why. It’s so much more the news. Thank you Sundance for sharing your heart and your hope~
So perfectly encapsulated Sundance…
I am having a moment, Sundance. You captured how I feel. God willing our new, earthly Jerusalem comes to us.
I noticed the body language of Desantis is much like President Trump. I noticed that when that video first came out. I am a trained observer.
Me too. It was comforting!
Thanks. Beautiful essay.
Col 3:12-17
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
Amen, Curtis. A good reminder as we await the return of King Jesus.
and remember,”his fury knows no bounds for he knows his time is SHORT.” 2022 is going to be a big year, and there are other turning points to come. Hang. On. Hold On. Joy is on the way, dawn is coming, always darkest before the dawn, hold on.
States are passing Voter-ID laws. This has the “Deep State” in a quandary. This was not supposed to happen but it is happening.
Arizona audit exposes fraud things will escalate rather quickly. Other States will follow with their vote auditing. Assume Arizona does show fraud, it probably will take until the middle of May before finalized.
Thank you, Sundance, for this uplifting message. It is good of you to do this from time to time.
Last March, when the slogan “Be safe!” or “Stay safe!” started going around, I tried to remind people to think like a Christian. I would remind them of the ending of Psalm 31: “Be strong, let your heart take courage, and hope in the Lord.”
Well, that is easier said than done, and I have had my share of ups and downs during this Covid craziness. I am training myself to stop all the unproductive fears that I get from time to time by making the effort to turn to God with a short prayer or two and then get back to business.
I have also found it helpful to do things for people. Last summer I grew an extra plants so that I could give away vegetables to people who can’t or don’t garden. I sew sheets and blankets for a low-income child care center. I gave small goodie bags to people at Christmastime.
I pray more, asking God to shoulder my burdens. Two of my sons are facing difficult circumstances right now. Both my husband and I are self employed, and by the grace of God, we can pay our bills, but savings are nil. Health insurance and medical expenses have overwhelmed us at times. I think of how people struggled with circumstances far worse than we have right now, and kept fighting.
Another thing I think may be important is to share with people the new sites, blogs, etc. that will provide better reporting than the mainstream media. It may not be enough to say “cut the cable,” without providing the wide array of sources that are available to help people get hooked on the truth.
Finally, as some commenters here have posted, we need to recognize that we are at war with the leftists. Big tech knows we are at war, and they have all the data to confirm that Americans are not happy campers right now. So let us continue to fight in all the big and little ways we can think of and know that God is on our side. The left hates even our small acts of kindness. We are supposed to be isolated and divided.
Pray with confidence.
The left and their multinational-corporatist allies seek the elimination of human ties to nation and family: they seek a globe peopled of consumers only, disassociated from family, organizations, church (religious loyalties), and nation.
The imposed isolation, social distancing, mask-wearing, and other measures aimed at restricting our rights to live as free citizens: to shop, eat in restaurants, attend funerals, weddings, even to play in the open air at city parks— all — have nothing to do with the virus but have everything to do with separating us from one another. In short, these repressive measures serve to condition us, to transition us, from social beings with allegiances to family, faith, and nation and into a people of the globe, mere consumers, and bearing loyalty only to the self and the gratification of our material desires.
Truly diabolical.
I finally saw a video of maybe 10 seconds of the men walking to their table. I was right. Pompeo is to POTUS’ right.
Thank you Sundance.
Today has been a dark day of news across the country. Again, a 7 year old child has lost their life (amongst other, older victims). Let us remember to also to be thankful for the safety that we enjoy and find a way to share it with others. And be prayerful that these evils do not visit us…and be prayerful for the victims who are hurting.
Trump-DeSantis ticket? am i reading this wrong?
Many possibilities… Too early to tell… Pompeo’s attendance is interesting… He could be in the mix somewhere…
i do know Trump will run again in 2024. He said so. When? The C-pac Speech. He as much as said it without saying it. in fact he said it 3 different times in 3 different ways but you have to pay very close attention. He has said though he will decide after the 2022 races. Meaning, if the state legislators clean up the process and we have free and fair elections in 2022 then there will be a free and fair election in 2024. Trump wouldn’t say he will run if doesn’t intend to. imho saying it 3 different times in 1 speech is a clear sign he will. i do get his concern about free and fair elections. You don’t want a 2020 repeat. He knows he won that election. Everyone knows he won that election;except for the not too bright ppl on the left. The Democrats in DC know he won. What we watched in real time was a coup. Why do you think they’ve tried to pass HR 1 right off the bat? So they could cheat AGAIN. i think he’s going to size things up just like we will in 2022. If they pull it off in 2022 like they did in 2020 what would be the point? IF the Republicans get with the program by then they could take the House and Senate if the Dems don’t get away with murder in various states. The Republicans aren’t with the program Somebody better get them off the snooze button and wake them up. They do care about winning re-elections. It’s the one thing most of them do care about. To me it looks like Trump is building a decent coalition this time realizing you aint gonna do it in DC. Vernon Jones was there. Pompeo. DeSantis. a MAGA group. No phonies. People he can count on. They’re not in DC that’s for sure.
We gave my wife a surprise 60th birthday party this weekend with 90+ people in attendance. We are not mask wearers. We are not Covid Vaxxers. We accept those who are, yet we choose to live life..fully and freely. We had a great party. We hugged. We laughed. We reminisced. And we hugged some more.
People had a genuinely great and relaxing time…with only one mask being worn. Live life. Live it fully. Live it boldly. Live it knowing there are more of us than there are of them. Live life and be an encouragement to others. Live it knowing He wins in the end.
Your wife is an Aries….(like me). You chose wisely. 😀
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AD REM!
Thank you!!! ?
I am too.
i saw amish people shopping and none of them are wearing masks. A beautiful sight.
Sundance, this is the message I wish I had heard from my pastor today. Thank you.
Videos from Vernon Jones FB page.
Vernon Jones | Facebook
I connect everyday with new people. It’s easy when you pull your Trump MAGA gear out of the closet and wear it.
Love, love this post, Sundance. Thank you and amen
Thank you Sundance….that hit the spot!
We are blessed to have your voice here.
I had noticed the DeSantis mannerisms being very similar to Trump’s some time back, and even commented here at CTH about it. I’m not trying to claim to be ahead of Sundance, he is most certainly ahead of just about everyone on all issues of importance. But I also commented at the time that DeSantis would become democrat enemy number one in the very near future. Looks like very near is about now.
Even Bill Maher agrees with how DeSantis dealt with Covid
Thank you, Sundance! I recently moved from a blue state to a red state. With the exception of one person, everyone I have talked to, when sharing we have recently moved, has opened up to me about keeping our red state red. We ARE the majority. Thank you for the reminder. I will further remind everyone I engage with that their viewpoint is roundly shared by all I have come in contact with (excepting one).
Ha! Trump hand gestures.
Sundance, I am so incredibly grateful to you for saying just the right thing at just the right time. We will get through all of this, and we are already stronger than we were to begin with.
With God’s help and through our faith, we will emerge victorious. Love to all my friends and family here at CTH.
God’s will, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.
Jesus Christ, I trust in You.
Great post.
That really is stunning to see his mannerisms. He’s definitely studying and aping the master, which is awesome
Funny that he’s one of the only people to learn the right lesson from Trump, to stand strong and stick to reality not regressive Leftwingery
He’d be a good VP, if someone equally good replaces him in must-win FL but only if.
I’m sorry to say he’s a really boring guy but evidently truly smart and we see he’s got the toughness necessary.
Shocking but Bill Maher was praising him the other day for getting COVID right because he actually does read and look at science.
He’d be what Pence was supposed to be but was not.
He’s boring to me for the top spot.
So… Ann Coulter thinks that’s a good thing.
Is it?
The boring guy has never won the top spot since the invention of television.
But as VP –IF FL is secured– I’m all in
The only Presidents I seen not boring was JFK, Reagan and Trump.
Thanks for the words of hope Sundance, we clearly all need it.
God bless to all.
Have a great week.

Than you Sundance. Since the steal of 2020 I too have rode the rollercoaster of emotions. I decided to reread my Dr. Joseph Murphy books from the 1950’s, it has been my solace and my reconnection to the proper way to pray and the removal of negative thoughts. It has helped me immensely, as well as connecting here.
Thank you for this. I am always cheered and encouraged when I read your writings. I live in a small rural town in Mississippi, we are open but there are still so many people walking around in their face diapers. I have started commenting to people without masks what a joy it is to see their whole faces and their smiles. It always brings a brighter smile to them and to me too. I tend to talk to anyone and everyone when I’m out and about. Can’t seem to help myself.
I refuse to let the “ugh” get to me. There is a peace here and I hold on to that. People are kind and good here and I hold on to that. I know that I know that our Lord God Almighty is in control and has already answered our many prayers. So much deep state darkness is now out in the open, in the light. So many lies are being claimed by the liars in all areas like they are proud of the deception they wrought. Its like a dam has broken all over the world and we feel the evil seeping into everything. For those of us who are believers in the saving grace of Jesus Christ we pray on our armor everyday then we sing, “this is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it” NO MATTER WHAT.
You all have a blessed and wonderful week and in everything give thanks.
Thank you for this message of hope, so badly needed during these trying times. “… and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” Someday I believe all of God’s creation will truly know, understand, and feel His great love. Thank you for pointing us to that precious Love.
Once again Sundance proves to be a wonderful group therapist in addition to being a top notch researcher and analyst.
Someone once said the best cure for depression is to get up out of your chair, go out in the world and do something…for someone else.
I am in the fortunate camp to have children and a spouse who are not mentally ill. I also have close friends who are not mentally ill. And lastly, I work with people who are not mentally ill. Consequently, my life goes on relatively unmolested by those who will not go out, will not see anyone, who wear masks even outside while riding their bikes and who live in fear and are allowing people to manipulate them into misery. One simply must let go of those who do not feed their souls. It is difficult when you call those people friends and family, but it must be done. That doesn’t mean that you are mean to them, are unkind to them or refuse to help them. It simply means that you let go of them like a balloon that you release into the sky.
Beautiful. That reassurance that I am not alone. Although I do wear a ring inscribed “this,too, shall pass,” i had been forgetting that message. Steve Deace’s talk on the inconvenient facts of where we are was heartbreaking. I hold onto that concept of civil disobedience, that he briefly mentioned, but realize that will be more effective if we are united.
Yes, but Pompeo is on Trump’s Right side.
Oh my gosh!
With the sound OFF, he has President’s Trump’s mannerisms!!!!
I don’t know if that is intentional or not but he sure seems to be MAGA supporter!
Things are working. Love to see this.
Can’t wait for President Trump and his allies (us) to run it up the RINO backsides.
The ate up academics on the left will implode of their own accord. They always do. The question is, will they take us with them.
Ain’t taking me, that’s for dang sure.
This is the best article I’ve read when your site since I started! And a wonderful prayer – God bless you for this much-needed reminder

Excellent post!
remember, we are the light. They are darkness. A single flicker of our light can pierce a galaxy of their darkness. This is why they fear us. Our faith is indestructible as is our God. For this reason it is abundantly clear why they want to try to extinguish our faith. They will fail.
Amen! Thank you! I needed that.
God fills all voids in the human spirit. Having said that, Next month I’m going to MO to see my son in the KC area.
What a wonderful article, Sundance! Just what we – and all of our fellow compatriots – needed. I have much support in my family and friends, but these are indeed times that try men’s souls. I am steadfast but deeply saddened by all that’s swirling around me. Continuous unrelenting and outlandish disconnects come one after another, Yet, I will absolutely hang on to righteousness and courage, knowing I am on the side of God. I keep being surprised that I have been chosen to live during this momentous challenge!
OMG DeSantis is doing a full-on Trump impersonation. He must have practiced that. I don’t know if President Trump will run in 2024 although he clearly intends to at this time; but if he does then DeSantis needs to be his VP. Or, if President Trump does not run then DeSantis is the clear successor, who has already proven himself to be the real deal by his actions in Florida.
