You are NOT alone!…
It might, heck, -check that- it does seem overwhelming at times. But that is the nature of this collectivist strategy. That is the purpose of this bombardment. We must hold strong and push back against the lies and manipulations. If you look closely at the attack, it is weak and much of it is psychological bait. Do not fall into the trap of despair.
When I share the message “live your best life”, it is not without purpose. Every moment that we allow the onslaught to deter us from living our dreams, is a moment those who oppose our nation view as us taking a knee. Do not allow this effort to succeed. You might ask yourself how I can, one person, a flea looking into a furnace, retain an optimistic disposition while all around me seems chaotic and mad.
Simple answer, it’s your choice. Two wolves fight – one filled with despondency, isolation, despair and dark imaginings; the other filled with faith, something bigger, unrelenting hope, focus and driven to remain connected. Which wolf will win? The one you feed.
The feeling of isolation begins first with a rejection of God… If you want to shake it, reconnect.
Shake it off. “Get up, get back on your feet, you are the one they can’t beat, and you know it.” WATCH:
The point? It ‘seems’ chaotic and mad because it has been created to appear that way. There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages and recognize the scale of our assembly.
And here we are… divided by a network of seemingly intoxicating systems; many purposefully driven by the modern dynamic of social media, steering a tribal outcome we are only now just beginning to fathom.
Ultimately the collective weight of progressive leftism is putting us is isolation. There are many historic references to this disconcerting sentiment to review with hindsight. However, ultimately the feeling of isolation first begins with a rejection of God. Defeat it by embracing Him.
In/around July 2020 it was obvious in my travels we were on the precipice of a disconnect from human interaction that would numb our psyche to what ultimately matters, fellowship.
Not only are various governmental agencies forcing the separation of people from their community networks, we were also seeing faith-based organizations, churches, buying into the fear.
Even in areas where churches were not forcibly shut down, we saw a structural shift where some faith leaders were willingly ostracizing their community under the guise of various medical, social and cultural alarms.
This is not good…. not good at all.
Fellowship is the essential ingredient to a purposeful life. How and why we interact with each-other is how and why we recharge our core humanity.
To see faith leaders willing to separate from the function of fellowship was alarming. However, as individuals we must not allow this foreboding sense to become the normal expectation.
Our nation needs more people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic however you need to do it. Then let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again.
Throughout history large armies have been defeated through the process of division. It is not a leap to see the same strategic objectives being deployed against social assemblies including congregations. It is puzzling how many in leadership cannot see the danger in social and spiritual distance when the bond of fellowship is needed more than ever.
Each of us has a different connection to our community. Each of us has a different level of internal strength… such is the nature of living. However, the distance between people is manifestly not a good outcome when combined with the lack of food for the soul.
The influence of social media is already troublesome, physically distancing from human engagement only worsens the impact. There is no digital replacement for the true fellowship of humanity on a personal level.
Ultimately it is the currency of human connection that is the true value in our lives.
We have each felt how our positive influence upon the lives of others nourishes our own sense of purpose and fulfillment… Do not lose that. Do not think you can compensate for that through other arbitrary measures; you cannot.
With local, state and federal leaders moving increasingly toward self-interest; with disconnected workplaces creating social distance; with faith-based leaders unfocused on the value of fellowship; and now government entering your home to tell you the importance of separating yourself from your family we must dispatch these arbitrary decrees very deliberately.
Perhaps we are in this position today because we didn’t sit still enough and contemplate the real priorities in our lives. Fellowship is the essential ingredient to a purposeful life.
I will not divide my humanity, nor concede my core view of fellowship, simply to comply with the demand of another that I consider my brother or sister of greater or less value than myself. Any system that seeks to steer my path will not benefit from my participation. I choose freedom!
My f**king choice…
Our Liberty is inherent.
Our freedom is inherent.
The removal of both requires consent.
I choose not to disconnect.
I choose purpose.
I choose my own humanity.
I believe in a generous loving God.
My faith stands.
Whatever it takes.
I’m going back into the battle, refreshed, renewed, rearmed and restored…. No weapon formed against us will prosper!
Love to all,
~ Sundance
A friend sent this to me and it’s appropriate here.
Perfectly said.
Oh Yeah!
Hear! Hear! Amen!
I call this time the “Obama Matrix” and it continues under Biden.
Even his own advisors were surprised at how easily they could persuade the press and the press the public.
One of Trumps gifts was the “fake news” call out. Simple and powerful at the same time.
The media took the Trump-Russia bait planted by Hillary and promoted it throughout the Trump Presidency. This alone was the biggest “misinformation” campaign in recent history.
And all the while those who had some curiosity were mocked, belittled and in some cases, their careers destroyed.
We need fighters and leaders. Non-violent of course but forceful in their communications.
And we need to reinvigorate that fake news. With the release of Durham papers, there’s plenty to shout about.
Amen! Tell it.
Well said! I agree with you.
All I can say is WOW.
Thank you.
I’ll say it again. Sundance you are the rock I anchor to keep my sanity. Thank you!

A M E N ! 🙂
They reject God
They reject their own family
They hate their parents
They reject our culture
They resist capitalism
They reject marriage
Tney reject Laws, they mock “order”
They reject binary biology
then wonder why they’re so poor and miserable.
I do not reject God.
Nor have I found Him.
I regret this but it seems the time is not yet.
So I get my connection second hand as it were by hanging with Godly people.
Stop looking and feel. Get out into nature( woods, streams(go fishing), rural farm or botanical park), clear your mind, look around, listen and feel. Ask for inspiration, guidance and help. Then start living as you feel in nature. God will fill your voids if you just let your gut feeling of goodness and positive thoughts prevail. Be thankful each day and show it in your actions. The POWER of positive will guide your actions.
The man is indeed a rock! As my father would say, “The Rock of Gibraltar”. I, too, rely upon Sundance and the commenters on this site to help me ‘make sense’ of a world gone mad.
My many thanks, as well.
Rock of Ages
Agreed!
Don’t get me started on”faith leaders” !
Too many “go along to get along,” especially our pusillanimous bishops, cardinals, and anti-pope in the Catholic Church!
I once knew a priest who said toleration has its limits: “To be sure, turn the other cheek! But you only have one cheek to turn! After that, fight back and defend yourself!”
Where are the modern-day descendants of German Bishop Galen, who gave sermons against the Nazis?
Archbishop Vigano is the exception: he should be the rule!
When he was Archbishop of Krakow, the future Pope John Paul II led the fight against Communists! Where is his equivalent today?
Perhaps there are Christian leaders in other faiths who are speaking out, and are just not well known.
In either case, WE need to fill – or help to fill – that vacuum of silence and action against the Communists today.
“Archbishop Vigano is the exception: he should be the rule!”
.
He should be the Pope. I consider him the true pontiff.
Yes, he speaks the truth.
I’m in total agreement about Vigano and I’m not even Catholic.
I consider him the preeminent Western Christian holy man!
As do I.
“Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and FIGHT for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses.” (Nehemiah speaking to the people who were discouraged and under attack). ~ Nehemiah 4:14
And Glenn Beck turned everybody on to Dietrich Bonhoeffer years ago on his great tv show (which they took away from him because he was exposing George Soros who, if I remember correctly, was a big investor in FOX!).
I don’t recall Soros investing in FOX News. I think it was a Murdoch start up with Roger Ailes at the helm. I don’t run with those guys, but I think Soros usually puts his money where his mouth is. It is his primary method of discourse and that makes me wonder why he would have ever backed FOX News.
This is probably what I’m remembering (albeit dimly):

Do yourself a favor and listen to one of the greatest American preachers to ever teach the gospel….

The ending, in particular, is just so wonderful.
Truth.
After decades of faith, some within ministry, this is still refreshment for a parched soul. Thank you for posting, Steadfast.
And thank you, Sundance, for your daily encouragement.
Thank you for this!

Thanks Sundance! A much needed boost after a week of just unbelievable and infuriating info.
Good advice, Sundance.

Not sure how long ago it was that you first posted this message. But I know that after reading it I took your advice and found a church community to connect with for fellowship and worship. I had not been to any church in a long time – even though I was raised as a Christian.
I had already dropped off all social media and have no intention of returning to it. I contact my friends and family by text or call and set up times to get together. Not always successful, but I try. I am done with virtual friendships. I want real life.
So thanks for posting this again and reminding me to keep pushing back against the enemy.
Despair is the work of the Evil One. His entire focus is to drive you into that deep, dark pit.
But we serve a God of Light, a God of Hope. Our calling is to be witnesses to His Light, His Hope.
Choose you this day whom you will serve. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!!

And here is a bit of music along that vein with a bit more raucus telling of the message. Not much to it, but sometimes we just have to repeat it until we believe it.
Been taking days off from work to go bird watching, and what I’ve observed is that any time a Bald Eagle is seen, the people seeing it express a special kind of happy excitement. I take this as a good sign.
Terrific post!
We are blessed to own a truly special place, a place we can share with others.
Immediately above the cottage is a home to a pair of Bald Eagles..and one cottage down is a fresh water culvert that leads to a home for a family of otters.
Visitor are enthralled at the majesty of the eagles and their adeptness at scooping up the oceans bounties.
The elusive otters and their synchronicity with the tides is a marvel to watch.
All Gods creations.

A majestic bird, and flys around like he knows why he is doing it.
God, family, country. Still find it amazing how few people realize how pivotal this moment in history is. Still so many asleep as to the scope and gravity of it all. I pray for them and us all.
God made us to be here now. Not because He wanted us to suffer, but because He knew we were exactly who He needed in His army at this very moment…
I wish my nation wasn’t corrupt and in need of repair, but since it truthfully is, I couldn’t be more honored than to be the one God put here to fight it.

Sorry for the second post, but I have a serious comment. I believe American churches are on the verge of a great reawakening. People are desperate for fellowship, in-person fellowship. Churches that provide opportunities for that fellowship without the social justice harangues will thrive. Those that do not will fade away. But I expect church attendance to explode come fall when everyone is back in town, summer stuff is over, and regular life resumes. It might be called Desperately Seeking Normal. Pandemic’s over, back to Life.
Our church is almost capacity for 9 and 11:00 AM service, it’s awesome. The majority are young people.
Yeah, one Sunday I was a few minutes late to church due to road construction. All the seats were taken except for three in an outer room where you couldn’t see anything. I ended up going to Mass somewhere else that Sunday, and honestly it was great seeing all the people there … they also have a HUGE and talented choir now, bigger and better than before the pandemic. 🙂
Another week on a Saturday evening, went to a different church, nearly packed, where 40 young people were receiving Confirmation. And what struck me was seeing all the young men neat and clean and handsomely well-dressed in suits and ties, and the young women looking beautiful in fancy dresses, skirts, or suits. Their sponsors also wore their Sunday best. 🙂
Thank you soooo much for sharing that story.
Hearing about the dedication and well dressed appearance of those young men and women and their sponsors is a sweetness of imagery for the mind.
The tilt to casual dress on Sunday has turned into an avalanche of “I can show up in anything” . Call me old fashioned, but I think we should dress respectfully in church.
Right there! A great starting point.
Dress for work as you need to, according to your station in life. But dress better for the rest of your day, even at home. There is no need to go about your grocery shopping in sweatpants or pajamas (!)
Refuse to be a slob. The sloppiness in the name of comfort diminishes us.
It feels uniquely Anerican to do the opposite of what those in charge wrongly and forcefully tell you not to do. So as backs are pushed closer and closer to the wall, the push back against these forces feels quite empowering.
Truth has no agenda.
You are “definitely” not alone.

This is just a few states, the most interesting being New York.
Everybody thinks New York City you get out of the cities and it’s as country (Red) as any state
We are not alone.
Ultra-MAGA! Keep God and family close.
I have been posting comments for awhile, that I do not believe there ARE “Blue States”, “Red States” or “Purple States” at all.
That the whole premise is a construct; that States are just painted, to look that way.
NYS, California, Massachusettes or Delaware are no different than Az, S. Carolina, or Kentucky.
ALL are rural red, with metro areas, where they can mask the cheating, painted to look blue.
Its ALL illusion.
So-called “blue states” are actually election fraud states. I lived in both New York and Washington State. I witnessed the fraud in WA and also followed government takeover financed by wealthy globalists over the past 25 years. Election rigging in NY City and other urban areas has been going on a very long time. What changed?
In the past, election fraud and corruption were primarily for personal monetary gain. Now the goal appears to be intentional destruction – harming people and destroying their communities.

CALLED TO CONQUER
“Do the STRONG WORDS of My prophetic voices seem UNBELIEVABLE? Would I really ARISE to come and SAVE your Land from DARK-HEARTED EVIL?
Let’s look to My Word for a PATTERN of RESCUE: ISAIAH 28:21 ‘The Lord Yahweh will suddenly arise as on Mount Perazim (Perazim=”breakthrough”, 2Samuel 5:20) and in the valley of Gibeon (Joshua 10:8-14). He arises to accomplish His strange work—peculiar as it is—His strange work of judgment.’
Would I use WEATHER and other NATURAL SHAKINGS to bring JUDGMENT to the darkness and their LIES and to SWEEP AWAY the enemies who seek to CONTROL and DESTROY you? ISAIAH 28:17-19 ‘I will set justice as the true measurement and integrity its plumb line. My hailstorm will sweep away your refuge of lies, and My floodwaters will overwhelm your hiding place. Then your covenant with death will be annulled and your pact with the underworld will not stand. And when the overwhelming scourge sweeps over you, it will sweep you away! As often as disaster passes by, it will carry you away; morning by morning, day after day, it will sweep you away! When you fully understand this message, it will bring nothing but terror to you!’
So, My children, you can see that I do use WEATHER and NATURAL DISASTERS to UNCOVER, to DEAL WITH, and to SWEEP AWAY our enemies. Your ASSIGNMENT is to RELEASE THE HOST to CARRY OUT My PLANS and that the Host and Angels would PROTECT the innocent and keep them out of HARM’S WAY. Don’t get WIMPY on Me when My POWER BREAKS OPEN the heavens and the earth. I AM with you and those you COVER in prayer. These EPIC EVENTS are meant as JUDGMENT against the wicked. I will be your COVERING and your PEACE. FIGHT by My side—you are not WEAKLINGS; you are CALLED TO CONQUER!” …….
ACTION ITEMS
*Hold on while the storm passes over, and we will receive the Divine Exchange of blue skies and fresh air.
*Continue to call on the Father to arise from His Throne and to release His great power into the earth.
*We are invited to call forth living, breathing proofs of what He’s said will happen. Call forth: indictments of the wicked, righteous judges to rule in those cases. Say: show forth Your power O Lord, and remove wicked and compromised judges and leaders; close the mouth of lying Leviathan and bind it shut! Prove Your promises of healing, let it manifest in our bodies, our families, and our Nation.
*He is telling us to be bold in our faith and to call in the fulfillment of His promises. This kind of bold faith will mow down the enemy and cause His fulfillment to come flooding in.
*We are not to shrink back from intimidation and threats from the enemy but we are to confront darkness with the light of His truth and promises. Declare: your darkness is exposed, your lies are laid bare, and the light of God is piercing the web of lies, schemes, and is exposing and destroying them. Back up! Get off of My King’s territory! You have lost, we have won! We are to be bold, be strong, be courageous. We are to carry His promises as banners of victory and triumph into the battle. We win!
*We have an assignment to release the Host to carry out His plans and that the Host and Angels would protect the innocent and keep them out of harm’s way. We are not to get wimpy when we see His power move in the earth, but we are to fight by His side—we are not weaklings; we are called to conquer!

Rest in the Vine: The Prophetic Word
We live in a messy and messed up world
and it will remain that way till the return of Christ.
Paul spoke of living “in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation.”
But he spoke of a future hope,
of that day when
“at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.”
Thank you Sundance. I needed that pep talk and doses of reality. After seeing the testimony of those FIB agents yesterday, well it was crushing to hear them say – they will CRUSH you. I’ve seen it up close & personal but hearing their stories angered me. I’m at the point of don’t get angry, just get even.
I’m not a vengeful person and don’t believe in tit for tat. But these autocratic agencies need to be destroyed by the roots, not the stems. And those in the GOPe who don’t believe that need to be voted out. I know all won’t be removed but enough need to be gone for it to send a message to the likes of Miss Lindsey.
Just a side note – Tim Scott declaring a bid for President is nothing but a grift. He’s a joke of a man. Maybe he’s been hanging around Miss Lindsey for too long.
Chris Christie is also planning on announcing a run. It’s amazing when they poll in the toilet and somehow think it’ll turn around. Even Mr “born on the eight day” Ron told his donors that he was the only one that could beat biden. I have no idea where he is getting this information when his polls are terrible and they are already stacked on the deep states favor. And he’s changing laws so that he can run and hiding his travel records. Does he think people are going to be ok with that? The demonic rats have been changing the rules to play the game instead of playing the games by the rules. Filthy disgusting people.
Must constantly work, to dimiss and dispell from our minds, the false narratives of the enemy.
The goal is NOT to “win”; the goal, “winning” from their point of view, is “ANYBODY but Trump”.
We mistakenly view their personal ambition as being to serve in office, but for many thats NOT their goal.
Their goal may well be wealth, and if they can get more wealth, easier by running and losing, they are FINE with that.
Thank you once again, Sundance, for the priceless perspective. To see this reminder, and OMG, that goosebump inducing video, has made my soul soar and brings tears of gratitude to my eyes. The young musicians involved in that production were amazing. The choir voices were uplifting. And one little glimpse of the choir showed that they, too, were uplifted. As others note, you are our rock in this chaos. Thank you for all you do for us. I am truly, truly blessed to be part of this community.
The most disturbing thing I have been seeing is the Leftist willingness to let us all see who they are. The underground army movements of the 60’s and 70’s never wanted anyone to know what they were really doing, because they feared the enemy they were fighting against. Lefties these days no longer fear anything about us and believe they are now in complete control of what used to be our Country. I believe that we face an uphill battle just for parity against them.
I also believe that God wants us to defeat these intellectual and moral reprobates and follow that with a great period of reckoning. Make no mistake, the ancestors of these revolutionary tribes have succeeded several times at taking over the power structure of previous National targets. Now they seek political control over the entire world. I don’t know whether they will eventually accomplish their goals, but I know they have made an enemy of most of us. It is time to stand for what we have always wanted for our children, a bright future where people get to live as the creatures they were born to be.
Sundance is spot on with the need for us to reconnect with our Creator, because our cause is also His cause. Failure to believe in Him will not help us at all. I have always had one sided conversations with God, and have never thought He talked to me, but I am sure he does hear me because I see Him in all that is good around me. I am sure He will make a way for me to help, even at my age.
I’m a CASA – a Court Appointed Special Advocate for a child in the court system usually due to abuse or neglect by the parent.
I visit for an hour with the child (or sibling set) once a week for an hour. We try to give them a taste of real childhood either with the park, or museum or some other activitiy – even hiking Keeps me young.
Then I also investigate and look for other relatives who might help out.
I also go to court with that child until the case is resolved, the whole time communicating with the child’s lawyer.
It makes a big difference to the quality of the child’s life.
Look up, people. He is there! Always and forever there. And times when we need Him most, He is right beside us.
We are the two or three gathered together. His promises to be amongst us, and He always keeps His promises.
Know it!!
“Whenever you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
Faith in what we cannot see at the time…and then in retrospect as is always the case, Mike, we understand it. Blessings, sir.
The institutions were the first things they took over. They have held these positions for what feels like forever. You can see it as plain as daylight against the cover of night. The reason the masses do not is because they hide their heads in the sand where no light can penetrate. This is why I do not need ‘the church’ to speak with God, why I do not need a mediator in my relationship with God.
I hear a lot of people tell me that they put their faith in God to fix all of this. They do not need to raise a finger for God will solve all of these problems. My grandmother used to tell me.. “God helps those who help themselves. God can not help you if you do nothing, if you never try, if you never put in any effort to make things happen. Complacency is sloth and is just another sin.”
Amen!
I’ve heard this said before, and I think people may be missing a key point. Faith in God is by no means a ‘passive’ pursuit. It is definitely a positive action that leads to *greater* results than one gets when relying solely on one’s own wits.
Have you ever stopped and pondered the reason and purpose you are here now, alive at this time and not at another point in history past?
I’m often overwhelmed by the thought of how inadequate I know myself to be. By inadequate I mean, unprepared. I have learned however that if I can find purpose I can overcome being unprepared, I have.
So, you are here now, what is your purpose?
I regularly thank God, for the grace to ALLOW me to live in these times, and to be witness to this greatest spiritual battle, perhaps ever in the history of the World.
I feel the same and hope not to disappoint our Creator.
This strategy is a fundamental of psy ops = psychological operations. Our corrupted government is, itself, perpetrating a gigantic “psy ops” campaign against the entire nation. But, if you realize that this is being done, it becomes powerless against you.
And your LORD, who sees all things clearly, will always guide you through the storm. Listen to your “instincts.” Listen for a still, small voice.
Both “sides” of the political aisle seek to divide. Reparations. LGB-whatever. The rich. The poor.
I choose to volunteer. I coach basketball, baseball. I lead a group of middle school kids at my church. I invest in kids and their families. I know the parents, I know the siblings. I know and talk to the kids on my kids’ high school sports teams and other activities. It doesn’t matter what race they are, how much money they have, where they live.
We are all in this together. I fight to make sure people know and understand that.
Thank you Sundance! I needed that pep talk today! I’m going to bookmark this and read it daily for inspiration!
Excellent!
Thanx.
Wow I SO needed this right now! Thank you!! Relatively new fan. You are an amazing writer, Sundance.
And what a bonus the Tommy Shaw version of Fooling Yourself with the fantastic talented young musicians!
Now, we see why the Covid scare was necessary, not a hoax , but an overhyped mass scare tactic. DJT had China on the ropes, thus the release of Covid. The Globalist scheme has been thoroughly exposed.

Very inspiring. Thanks.
Thank you Sundance for standing tall so that we have someone who will keep the TRUTH flowing.
God Bless
Sundance. I live out your oft repeated words almost daily.
“Live your best life!”
Last week I took my 12 year old son turkey hunting for his first time. The hug I got from him after he pulled the trigger and downed a turkey will forever remain in my soul.
Tomorrow I take my daughter. We now have seven cows and thirty chickens on order. Last week we started a massive garden. This weekend we join another family from church at our farm. Fellowship will never be lost at our church!!!
I try to have a good attitude at work. Sixty six hours this week. God gave me this job. Live your best life is always on my mind and soul.
It is Friday. I have to ensure my daughter has a turkey tag. She is extremely capable with the youth model 870 twenty gauge.
Off to pack the car and head out to live my best life.

Amen.
Going down swinging.
Not going quietly down into that good night.
If I’m good enough for Jesus to sacrifice for, I’m good enough.
Love back to you. Thank you…..sigh…….I needed to hear that.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Those Tommy Shaw videos with the kids make me tear up every time I watch them.
I just got back from Gateway Pundit, where I got bloodied up defending Marsha Blackburn and Ted Cruz on their attempts to pressure Anheuser Busch to remove Mulvaney as spokesperson – because of Mulvaney’s heavily minor Tik Tok audience (marketing alcohol to kids, which is illegal). I was defending the Senators against an onslaught of trolls who were claiming “culture” should fix this and the Senators should stay out of it. My point is that we need every ally in the fight against this kind of culture rot that we can enlist…
It’s so refreshing to come back to CTH, where the people are objective, rational… frustrated, yes, but optimistic.
And Godly, or at least appreciate the workings of the Divine in their own way.
Peace to you all and let’s keep up the efforts to make sure others know we are not alone, and that there are principles worth getting banged up for!
This is such a timely essay! Choose to talk to people and have no fear of tilting at windmills. You have no idea when something you say will make a difference for someone else. I picked up new glasses from the optician and casually chatted with him while he made adjustments. Had I not listened to him and responded to small talk as if I knew him, I would not have met someone who shares a lot of my social and political beliefs. I had the opportunity to encourage him to accept reality of evil he sees and not doubt himself. Maybe I added something to his courage. I know hearing him speak added to mine.
The first shall be last and the last shall be first.
When we fight alone it is only because we have put ourselves last by standing up first against the onslaught. This is where, by all perception, our actions appear ultimately suicidal. But, now more than ever, we all realize that perception is not reality.
Behind each and every one of us is everyone we love so dearly while before us is the one who loves us more, Christ.
The depth of the feeling of loneliness is nothing more than the size of the glory being brought to our Creator.
The greater the hole to fill, the greater is he who fills it.
Embrace the loneliness because never are we nearer to Christ than when all human perception tells us we have been forsaken. Christ holds our hand tighter than we hold His, always.
In a sane world, the crazy are ignored. But in a crazy world, the sane are ignored.
These United States were originally forged by a few men, many of whom died with less than they had when they swore their sacred honor. At the time, their actions would have looked down right suicidal, yet we see 230 years later, how their sacrifices were a great gift. And not just their sacrifice, but the sacrifice of all who have given to keep the flame of liberty alive.
So when we sacrifice it is not that we do so alone, it is that we have been given the great opportunity to join the ranks of those we respect so greatly. Do not misunderstand me, I wish no one to suffer for doing what is right. I want future generations to only be rewarded for choosing what is right. Which is why I do what is right today to try and create a better world for them, as those before me have done for me.
Loneliness when following Christ, is nothing but the feeling that let’s us know who we really are. Trust in what isn’t yet seen as surely you are participating in it’s creation.
Defiance to tyrants is duty to God.
Thank you for this today.
Very encouraging.
Join the fight.
Now you know why they are attacking Christians every chance they get, even accusing them of being terrorists.
Yeah. They did that to Jesus too. He didn’t back down either.
This is a very powerful post.
We all have personal challenges, and the state of America, is a big one.
It’s not healthy to be consumed with negativity.
I try and smell the roses, enjoy family, frens, garden, meditate, exercise, music, dance, read, laugh and PRAY, to cleanse my mind and body. Sometimes the simple things in life can bring the most joy.
The good news, is I have honey bees in my garden !
Uplifting message Sundance, so happy I found this blog. .
Thanks to you and all the posters.

Keep the big picture in mind, always.
But, make your life as simple as possible.
Keep your relationship with the Creator 1st, family second, good friends next and so on.
Trust but verify (as best you can).
Manage your fears/concerns and live a good quiet life.
Will do my best, thank you Bronco.
That was a cool airplane, btw.
But doing those things means a removal from anything that will reverse the rising tide of tyranny; as much of an introvert as I am, and as much as I already do those suggested lifestyle characteristics, the left is not about to let us remain peaceful.
..and a bumble-bees…humming birds..butterflies and on top of the evenings..” concerto” of frogs ..what a relax with smell of -gardenia…….
Mrs. SWR thinks (knows?) I’m nuts when each spring I come running into the house and exclaim “There’s bees in the garden!” I am rewarded with an eye roll.
