Beautiful Things
It's a beautiful thing to God when a Christian does battle with pain. When he faces threats, punishments, and tortures by mocking death and treading underfoot the horror of the executioner; when he raises up his freedom in Christ as a standard before kings and princes; when he yields to God alone and, triumphant and victorious, he tramples upon the very man who has pronounced sentence upon him. God finds all these things beautiful. (Minucius Felix, The Octavius 37, c. 200)

It’s gittin weird out here.. lol... I always got my sense of humor, thank God!.... (i love that He gives us a sense of humor...LOL... that’s some deep creation stuff!...Aaaaand handy in times such as these! ๐ .... But yeah... peeps are losing their minds!...(which makes me think they never HAD them to begin with) (note... that comment is what could be called “Calvinist humor”)
... Dig deep, my friends... We be being surrounded!... on all sides..... Gotta smile and bless and nod...cuz u know Who rules the roost! Aaaaaand He got a sense of humor ... amidst the horror... (God is blessedly terrifying, and funny... which is just one of myriad, plethora, infinite reasons i am in awe of, and love Him.....

Can't But Not (Love Him) All Is Well
Oooh boy.... We (as I said not so long ago) are headed into the fast moving waters.....
Of course, lately, I'm aware of all the . . . chatter . . . . .
PLEASE . . . recall . . . what this is all about. . . . .
GOD!
GOD!
THE LORD!
THE ONE WHO IS ALL IN ALL!
The One who SUFFERED . . . all kinds of ignominy . . . sleights . . . calumnies . . . spitting . . . slaps . . . beatings . . . mockery . . . sluffing-off . . . tortured . . . ignored. . . . His best friends ran away when He was being set up, criminalized, in front of them and all the public. . . . Yet He forgives. Yet He forgives.
I know it is hard to see His love and grace and mercy in these times. . . .
BUT! That has always been the case!
It is actually a curse to live in "good times". . . .
It is a blessing and a mercy . . . to live in times where things are quite clear, who is who and what is what. In times such as these, in other words. . . . .
So, actually, you should be humiliated, humble, grateful yet, that He Created you for this time, where everything is quite obvious. Imagine living in a time where all seemed quite well . . . plays, balls, food, celebrations, peace, parties, cruising, material comfort? . . . . What a curse!
[Well, for those of the Chosen wrought in those such times, of course, He had a place for them there as they were so designed] . . . .
But don't think things were easier or less scarier in those "easier" years. Nope. THAT was a much more dangerous time, because a soul can easily be continuously complacent and . . . cruise through a life . . . without EVER being challenged . . . as to faith, because material comforts/blessings are harsh in their subduing the subtle Spiritual need to find ultimate meaning, transcendent. . . .
BUT you are who are . . . you are made for this time. Yes, it is now (superficially) quite challenging and "scary", ... lol ... but . . . SAME AS IT EVER WAS!!!!! You're not special. You're not in a special time. ALL of God's time is special! Don't get too fancy. . . .
He is absolutely fair. Loving. Love. GOOD!
So, obviously, . . . everything that is happening now is GOOD ..... and PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And . . . because you were not strong enough to be in a time when things were "good" . . . thank GOD He allowed you to be in a time where things are quite obvious... heh... yep. Meditate on that!
Humble thyself . . . (and as always, I'm telling myself this first!)
:) God blesses you
...in SO many ways! LIFE IS A BLESSING! ... EVEN as crappy as it can seem to be! ;)
We are (as always) blessed to live on this plane at this time . . . . .
Always . . . God is sovereign. God is good. God is love. God, the Lord, Savior . . . . IS THAT HE IS.
Period.
Yes, demons are swirling, attacking, left and right . . . on your shoulders, in your house, swooping through your head . . . heart . . . friends, neighbors, family, in the public square, et al--they are swooping in and through everybody . . . and always have been . . . this is nothing new.
Those who love God--I dare say, the Author of The Word--LOVE HIM! And can't but not. . . .
So, ALL IS WELL!

Remember....
Jesus?!
Either do or don’t....
Grasp the intention of your calling....
Or not... I certainly ain’t judging....
He is that He is....
Or, as He said, “I am that I am.”
.... it doesn’t get any more @based” than that.
Period.

Listening Through The Stormy Din
Hands steady on the rudder..... ( I’m grateful for HANDS, fingers everyday, btw... they are an amazing, not oft appreciated tool of the ever amazing human form!)....
So, hands steady on the wheel, which links to the rudder, guiding the ship—YOUR ship .... in stormy waters.... And ABOVE ALL be listening—above the din of the roaring waves and shouts of the scrambling crew—to the calm, confident, strong commands of The Captain.
;)

What’s Coming
What’s coming? What’s coming is death. The “wages of sin”. Same as it ever was. People trying to “change the world” . . . “make the world a better place” . . . “live my dreams” . . . are whistling past the graveyard.
This struck me at a very young age. Still does.
“The bottom line ... is the bottom line” I wrote in song and recorded several years later . . . meaning . . . YOU WILL DIE. Get down with that! Few will remember or care about you. Yes, a few will . . . and then . . . they do too (die).
THAT is the “elephant in the room”. . . .
Stop ignoring it. Make friends with it. And quick figure out Who has your back.
Otherwise . . . you are just a prop. A fleeting grass, come and gone through the seasons.
It’s time to brace oneself and go within . . . seek the Kingdom Of God. For real. Truly.
Once you have met your Maker and (potential) Executioner . . . well . . . you throw yourself on the ground, awestruck . . . and go with Faith in His Word . . . or , piffle out, like an insect or animal, blade of grass......
There is a bold, blazing meaning in the Word referring to Those “made in the image of God.” Meditate on that. What does that truly mean, and why did He make such a point of it?!
Praise and thank The Lord always. What else is there?
(Aaaand, oh yeah—we at war baby!) Giiiirrrrddddd!

Aaaaaand it would be cool (and encouraging) if some of y’all would comment once in a while! You are already written in the Book Of Life... so don't sweat it. I ain’t afraid of man or beast... (only God:) !!!! Nor should you be. A lot of this wizard of oz stuff is just “smoke and mirrors”... Ya gotta stake your claim. Don’t be a Peter... thrice going “i see nothing”.... God favors the BOLD for HIS cause.... He don’t like lukewarm.... spits it out.... jus’ sayin’....
Anyway.... fwiw... if things go wacky ... i have no fear saying.. my email is brotherthomas75@gmail.com .....
Was made for this time... like YOU ๐๐๐๐ป❗️๐ฅณ

Purges Are For The Weak
Well.. as expected... and as I've been long time saying where it all goes...the purge of all voices contrary to party line is apparently fast underway.... Dont know how long I’ll be allowed to keep writing here... I’ve tried to be relatively savvy without shirking the need to speak Truth... Hence why i re-upped my rocknroll persona and some social media related to that re past few years....
Having long studied and understood how totalitarianism works.... what generally has happened... is that clever artists/writers/musicians etc., have learned to speak using satire, metaphor, comedy, code lingo etc.,.... Sooooo find my music persona pages.... I’m a bit clever myself๐....
I expect there to be a big broad sweep/purge.... then we weather that.... then dust settles....
We’ll see how this one goes.... but so long as i can, i intend to keep communicating to my friends and Family and Children of God... It just may be cloaked in a bit of “artfulness”....., er, artifice.....
Don’t get too despondent... remember... these knuckleheads are degenerate losers... and can’t but help screwing up their “best laid plans” lol.... They can barely get out of bed in the morning because the sin weighs so heavy within and about them..... THEY ARE NOT invincible as they would have you think. Think instead of.....the little grabbley wizard of oz once the curtain is drawn back๐! Pathetic loser desperate demons scrambling about... same as it ever was...๐๐

The Story Ain't Over
I Posted this 3/17/16: "What I'm afraid of with him (Trump) is not so much that he won't follow through on his more strident threats to the "elites" . . . but that, even if he were to follow through, they will simply collapse the system on him and we will quickly be in a world of chaotic hurt. But then, I expect that anyway, regardless of who gets in. It could be that with a Democrat (ie., socialist/communist) they will try to prop the thing up a little longer. . . . But the economic forces and laws, combined with the cultural rot, combined with the spiritual malaise, added to widespread war and civil war repercussions . . . I just don't see how this mess can be turned around any time soon. It is crashing, falling apart, by design, and the bloodthirsty, megalomaniacs who have been generationally conspiring to bring it down in order to reform their new ("illuminated") Utopia . . . will not be denied one way or the other.
I don't bemoan anyone desperately wanting a temporal savior . . . and grasping for anyone who might fit the bill. . . . I am just concerned that they will be sorely disappointed once again and will lose heart for the greater purposes we are here for. . . ."
