The Moral Duty to Adblock

Posted on March 20, 2016 by ehurst

The Internet is a much better place if you and I agree to block advertising in our browsers.

We have that word from a former insider, one of the guys who designed the current intrusive tracking of advertising on the Net. He reveals what went into all the unethical and immoral developments, and how the aggressive demand that we submit or lose access to content is simply wrong and wrong-headed.

One of the pioneers of Javascript, the most widely used technology in the web today, Douglas Crockford argued that the most reliable and cost-effective method to inject malicious code on to a user’s device is to buy an ad. I don’t know a single researcher who disagree with this claim. Actually, because of the way 3rd-party tags can, and are commonly being nested one inside the other, more than one malicious code can be injected in a single ad delivery.

Naturally, the single greatest problem is the advertisers’ refusal to take responsibility for creating the single most dangerous means for delivering malware. This is why I recommend using uBlock, along with running Click & Clean after just about every different site you visit. If you are technically inclined, you might benefit from learning how to use NoScript. Even better, if you can stand it, is a “crippled” browser that refuses to process most of that crap — Dillo, Links2, Elinks, Lynx, etc.

As things now stand, it is your moral duty to reduce malware by blocking advertising as many ways as possible.

Oh, and experts tell us that it is trivial to bypass AV software in the first place.

A Sample of Dispie Folly

Posted on March 20, 2016 by ehurst

For those of you inclined to understand the madness of Dispensationalism from a safe distance, I wanted to share with you an outline of some primary features. This comes from a study offered at Jesus-Is-Lord:

Dispensational theology centers upon the concept of God’s dealings with mankind being divided into (usually) seven distinct economies or “dispensations”, in which man is tested as to his obedience to the will of God as revealed under each dispensation.

Dispensationalists see God as pursuing two distinct purposes throughout history, one related to an earthly goal and an earthly people (the Jews), the other to heavenly goals and a heavenly people (the church).

Dispensationalists believe that in the Old Testament God promised the Jewish people an earthly kingdom ruled by Messiah ben David, and that when Christ came He offered this prophesied kingdom to the Jews. When the Jews of the time rejected Christ and the earthly kingdom, the promise was postponed, and the “mystery form” of the kingdom — the church — was established.

The church, according to dispensational doctrine, was unforeseen in the Old Testament and constitutes a “parenthesis” in God’s plan for Israel. In the future, the distinction between Jew and Gentile will be reestablished and will continue throughout all eternity. The “parenthesis”, or church age, will end at the rapture when Christ comes invisibly to take all believers (excepting OT saints) to heaven to celebrate the “marriage feast of the Lamb” with Christ for a period of seven years.

God’s program for the Jews then resumes with the tribulation, Antichrist, bowls of wrath, 144,000 Jews preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and Armageddon. Then, the Second (third, if you count the preTrib rapture) Coming, the instantaneous conversion of the entire nation of Israel, the resurrection of the Tribulation and Old Testament saints, and the “sheep and goats” judgment. The “goats” will be cast into hell, the “sheep” and the believing Jews will enter the millennium in natural human bodies, marrying, reproducing, and dying. The “mystery church” and the resurrected Tribulation and Old Testament saints will live in the heavenly Jerusalem suspended above the earthly city. This millennium will be a time of great peace and prosperity, with Christ ruling on David’s throne. After 1,000 yrs. Satan will be released from the chain with which he had been bound at the beginning of the millennium and many of the children born to the “sheep” and the Israelites will follow him in revolt against Christ. The King will again destroy His enemies, followed by another resurrection of the righteous, another resurrection of the unrighteous, a final judgment, and at last the New Heavens and the New Earth.

The terminology alone is enough to make your head spin, and there is very little here compared to the mountain of verbal trash I’ve seen while serving in the ministry: Pre-Trib, Post-Trib or Mid-Trib Rapture; Preterism, Historicism, Chilliasm, etc.

Perhaps you now grasp why I pursue discussing how the Old Testaments saints experienced spiritual birth, too. Jesus spoke of it as a reality before the Cross, as if Nicodemas could and should have had a spiritual birth already. Thus, redemption is redemption is redemption, and that the church is the natural extension of something that lies under the Covenant of Moses. I also teach that the revelation of God is a single thing. Further, I emphasize that one revelation is the same one for this world and the world to come. I teach that the Covenant of Moses was closed forever because the New Testament says so quite bluntly. Truly, as the linked page notes, if you pay attention to the Bible and stop reading stuff back into it, you can’t cling to Dispensational teaching.

That doesn’t mean I endorse everything on that page, but you can make up your own mind. I’m not laying restrictions, but pointing out why I write what I do. The term “heresy” is used here only in the relative sense that I consider it harmful to follow that path.

Psalm 93

Posted on March 19, 2016 by ehurst

In just a few lines we are given a profound vision of the King of Glory.

In this vision we find Jehovah in His regal majesty, like a robe. Underneath we catch a glimpse of divine battle armor because He is a king of action. Indeed, He has put this on Himself. It’s not a status or power conferred from some other source, but an authority inherent in His Person. He has made all things and the world is subject to His will alone; no one else can interfere with His reign.

Go ahead and make some attempt to trace the genesis of His reign. You won’t find it because it started before anything else that existed.

Imagine the most powerful force in this world. Many would say it’s the oceans, with it’s unknown murky depths housing things men never see and able to pound the shores of the world, pulverizing all it touches. When it gets stirred up, nothing man can do withstands that mighty power. The noise alone is more than most human ears can tolerate. Combine all the stormy seas into one vast power, if you can imagine it. Yet the Lord in His majesty is unmoved because He made the sea with the hollow of His hand. The waves obey His commands.

And when He testifies of His moral character, when He reveals His personal law for Creation, there is no authority in any position to challenge Him. When He speaks, it is the end of every matter. His divine courts define holiness and they have no terminus.

Heart of Sanity

Posted on March 19, 2016 by ehurst

Privacy is dead.

That is, to the degree your sense of identity and personal integrity depends on keeping some part of your flesh and psyche away from the view of others, it’s gone. This is the ultimate failure of Western Civilization in terms of the dehumanizing factor.

Let’s back up just far enough to get a little perspective. One of my candy-sticks is that this world cannot be saved, and that attempts to make it better are generally stupid — okay, it’s “folly” in the sense of moral idiocy. That does not excuse making things worse. Does that not seem obvious? It’s a sin to make life more difficult than it has to be, and one of the worst sins of all is dehumanizing people. Rulers dehumanize us for their convenience in ruling. Dehumanizing people is an unmitigated and inexcusable sin, a flagrant poke in God’s eye.

The nature of the Fall itself is the decision to enthrone human reason and cut off the supremacy of the heart-mind. Whatever complex of failures that may manifest as any individual human travels the path of surrendering their will — the moral decision-making and sense of commitment — to the heart is not the point. There is no single factor in human life that will do them more good — humanize them — than helping them find their heart-mind. We can surely afford to trust God for how He works through something He designed for His own purposes. Since there is nothing we can and should do to steer things beyond some declaration and demonstration of how the heart-mind works, the rest is in God’s capable hands. This is about as un-fallen as you and can make other folks be.

Western Civilization presumes there is no heart-mind. Indeed, the whole of our social mythology vehemently denies it’s even possible. In the worst sense, Western mythos embraces the Fall as the basic truth of reality, as good and right. The presumption that human reason is capable of judging from the facts what is morally proper and just is the Fall; it’s the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Even when Western science discovers that the heart has it’s own sensory apparatus and a full-blown nervous system of its own, with a separate “brain” to boot, the rational mythology so deeply stains everything that those scientists have no clue what to do with the facts. They don’t know what the heart-mind is for because they fundamentally reject what it does best — sense and process the moral truth already woven into the fabric of reality. It’s the one part of us accessible to conscious awareness that can touch God and make it possible to fully surrender to His authority.

This is the real ESP, folks. This is the ultimate optimal operation in our fallen universe. Engage the heart-mind as best you can discern and run with it. Make the most of it, because whatever good you will receive from what God placed in His Creation can come no other way.

And this heart-mind stuff will always be outside the reach of anyone grounded in Western Civilization. They can’t touch it, in part because they can’t believe it exists. Nothing in the full range of Western science can deal with it, so if you operate this way, that part of you is forever beyond their grasp. It’s the one part of you completely wrapped inside the wings of God’s covering on your soul while you live on this earth.

Satan himself can’t touch that.

There’s an old mythology attached to some branches of mainstream Western Christianity, and it’s one of the few things that approaches the truth: If you are “born-again,” Satan can’t read your mind. This is not precisely accurate, but is looking in the right direction. Satan can estimate a Hell of a lot from observing you, and can make observations on a level above humans, but he cannot see what transpires between you and God if you are committed to God. A practical application is that you praying inside your head is silent to the Devil. He can’t tap that communication. If he can’t, then neither can any human force or technology ever tap into it, either.

But if you are a Western human, then you have no access to anything beyond flesh and reason. Thus, your sanity rests on a sense of self that is hopelessly fragile. With rising technology, your physical privacy is long gone. Maybe you didn’t know just how far gone, but it was presumed in government policy long ago. And not just US government policy, but the global shadow government had this written out quite some time back (longer than a century). At this point, it is feasible to read your mind in terms of brain-waves without implants. Implanted technology devices would simply make it easier to track and collate the same as, say, the NSA’s vast recordings of all cellphone and Internet transmissions. Whether they can record as much as they can read is doubtful, and we already know they can’t process even a tiny fraction of what they have, but that’s not the point. If they target you, your goose is cooked.

Unless your sense of identity rests in your heart-mind, that is. At that point, whatever sanity is possible in this fallen world is within reach. You might not succeed, but you could in theory hang on through a complete collapse of the universe itself. That’s because your heart-mind is in some indescribable way a piece of your eternal self. When this is all over with and we stand before God in Heaven, it’s the heart-mind that remains from our life here.

So the thing to study is how to make our best use of that faculty because it’s the only thing Satan himself can’t mess with.

Your Servant

Posted on March 18, 2016 by ehurst

Just a reminder folks: I am your servant.

Some of you already communicate with me — comparing notes, asking questions about something I’ve written or even seeking pastoral counsel. At least a couple of you call me from time to time. It’s all good; I have the so-called “unlimited talk and text” service on my cellphone. So far, nobody has sent any text messages, but that’s your choice. I do have time and inclination, so don’t be afraid you’ll irritate me. That’s what I’m here for.

So if you need something private and/or individual, start by emailing me using ehurst909 at gmail OR br073n at outlook.com. At the Kiln blog (edit: now closed) I have a private message input form you can use right there in the right-hand column. I’m not posting my phone number here, but if you check my resume it’s up near the top. Ignore the mailing address because that’s out of date. I’ll send that by email or whatever.

If you take a notion to see what I’ve got on my FTP server, just ask for the password.

Put me to work if you need me.

If People Can Talk Out of Their Butts…

Posted on March 18, 2016 by ehurst

It’s typical of Western intellectual processes to get things backward. We have a long, fat record of theologians and teachers insisting that we have to lean more toward a literal rendering of Scripture. This legalistic approach has caused no end of folly when it is thrust backward into a language that is inherently parabolic and symbolic in nature. Hebrew seldom expresses anything literally.

But there are times it does come close to it. Scripture is loaded with references to Creation testifying of God. Our Western culture insists that this is a mere figure of speech, but I contend that the folks who wrote it would have meant it more literally.

This is where you stop reading if you aren’t ready to entertain the notion that a tree would talk to me and I could understand it on some level.

We have precious little lore on this in our Christian religion. That is, while Scripture seems to take it for granted, almost nothing in Church History addresses it without first adding a major taint of Western intellectual assumptions. And given that the English language is so very poorly suited to the task, we stand in the place of having to start from scratch rebuilding a lost legacy. Why do we struggle so hard with the story of Balaam’s onager talking to him about an angel standing in the road (Numbers 22)?

Over the past couple of years I’ve often tried to explain the doctrine of Two Realms, that we are inside of a constrained bubble that suffers distinct limitations that don’t exist outside of it. We are under the Fall in a realm where time and space are limitations upon us, but that God and His angels are not affected by such things. God’s Person is rooted outside of our realm of existence; He is in the Spirit Realm. We are in the Fallen Realm. I use language like that as parable, because Jesus set the pattern for discussing such things, relying on parables to convey things that can’t easily register in the intellect. He’s the one who established the basic principle in John 3 about Two Realms, and in other places told His disciples that parables were necessary to separate between those who are redeemed and those who are missing something critical in moral awareness.

I’ve also tried to describe a realm of awareness that bridges the chasm between this Fallen Realm and the Spirit Realm. I refer to it as the Moral Realm, a boundary layer we can touch that is reflected in all of Creation, but only with our heart-minds. God created all things and quite naturally we should assume that His Creation is a product of His moral character. Further, the Bible keeps saying flatly that Creation is a living thing in itself, so we shouldn’t struggle so hard with the idea that Creation operates by His moral character. I keep referring to Paul’s statement in Romans that all Creation is groaning with torment in hopes that some of us would catch on and start sensing this moral fabric of reality. We have the capacity to read this moral fiber in all things as the signature of God’s Person living in Creation.

So I struggle with the words to tell you that moral content is supreme, far more critical to our grasp on reality than any factual knowledge. The whole concept of “miracle” is that factual reality can be altered for moral purposes. Moral awareness trumps facts because facts can be changed; morality can only be observed. All the facts in the universe with a full grasp of how they interrelate will not answer any moral questions at all. Our Western obsession with facts is why there are so few miracles among Western Christians.

When I rode my bicycle (11 miles) to the spot out there where Aubrey McClendon crashed his SUV, I clambered around to see things from a perspective most folks wouldn’t bother trying to get. I climbed up the steep embankment where the construction crew had cut down into the earth to make the road pass under the interstate highway. All up the embankment grew a smattering of trees, shrubs and grasses native to this area and able to maintain a grip with their roots in the soil. Among them was an Oklahoma Redbud tree, standing near the top and among some other kinds of lightweight trees. The best I could do was capture with my camera one branch of this thing, and it’s mixed in tightly with all the other stuff growing there. I climbed around the end of the fence meant to limit access to the turnpike and took this picture from behind a fence, facing across the cut for Midwest Boulevard.

I’ve had communion with trees in the past and wrote about it on my other blog. I still have that polished oak stick in the mementos I keep near my computer. Our dear Sister Christine (Wildcucumber) writes about such things on her blog, but I didn’t get all of this from her. My experience is my own. This is the first time I have encountered anything quite like this: The tree seemed urgent to pass onto me some moral impression from that crash. Not factual information; I have no salacious secrets from McClendon’s life to reveal. On the other hand, who’s life does not include things they’d rather keep private? What the tree wanted me to get was something of the peculiar moral sorrow of the bigger picture. That tree watched McClendon’s life bleed and burn away in the wreckage of that SUV. Something about that whole event speaks of a critical moral truth about our world.

Maybe it will be awhile before I quite know what to say about that experience. As noted, I’ve communed with trees before, but this was like a heart-broken child asking someone to hold them for awhile. So my immediate reaction is that this crash carried a moral importance that I need to consider and pray about. It’s meant to result in a decision somewhere in the future that I might not make without that impression. Balaam eventually kept going down that road to Moab, but he definitely needed to stop and notice that there was something critical he needed to consider before he continued his journey. Would you want to claim our Creator no longer speaks through His Creation? We have all kinds of folks “talking out their asses” but we can’t take seriously something less spiteful?

At least some of you will be impressed to take this seriously. Let’s consider ways we can put this into words and develop a teaching that matches Scripture, because I, for one, would like to have all that God left us in Creation.

Win10 Upgrade as Malware

Posted on March 17, 2016 by ehurst

Honestly, genuine IT managers are treating the upgrade with the same intensity and depth of analysis as a malware attack. They do this because they say that the unwanted upgrade acts just like malware.

Go ahead and keep your Windows installation, but I submit you might get a lot of mileage out of learning an entirely different strategy for handling updates. I suggest you try Autopatcher. Their primary contention is that not all the updates are in your best interest, so their own technicians look them over and encourage you to ignore just about anything that isn’t a genuine security update or bug fix. But honestly, it requires you spend time reading and studying how their patcher works and completely disable the Windows Update Service. In fact, it’s complicated enough that the Autopatcher guys start you off reading their forum posts to find out how to start using their stuff.

Cycling: McClendon Memorial Area

Posted on March 17, 2016 by ehurst

AubreyMcClendonMemorialThat redbud kept calling my name, so I went back out to visit. There is no good way to capture it with a camera; I’ve tried a couple of times but there is no good angle. Instead, I’ll let you see how elaborate the memorial has become for Aubrey McClendon: numerous hats, t-shirts, flowers, posters, signs, crosses and even a small spotlight powered by photocell. There were plenty of other odds-n-ends people drop at such sites. I did climb up the slope and stood holding onto one of the tree limbs for awhile. I’m not sure I can explain a tree that begs for human company like that, simply because I rarely encounter it

FarmDouglasHefnerFarmsnrHefnerMWB English language can’t express the odd sense of divine Presence I felt on the ride, so I’ll just let you see some of the shots I took in no particular order as I rolled out in the northern hills near the crash site. It was just a long peaceful ride with very little motor traffic most of the time.

Memorial-n-MWBNCdnnrHefnerMWB Maybe the images will be self-explanatory as to why I took the shots. Frankly there are some places that look better in the winter brown coat and some that definitely need the green.

We Have This Treasure

Posted on March 17, 2016 by ehurst

What we have here is powerful, rich and sweet. Do we need any further excuse to offer it to others? Actually, the thing itself won’t tolerate silence. It would be wholly unjust to keep this divine justice to ourselves.

But the same justice constrains the means to sharing. It is inherent in this justice and cosmic sense of harmony and peace that we tend to be peaceful about it. There’s no bait and hook, no strings attached. We help those who ask; otherwise we seek God’s command in defending what He has given us. There’s no doubt we end up helping a lot of folks who don’t tell us.

Most of you know this instinctively. Once you surrender your reason to the convictions of the heart, everything changes. No two of us experience it the same, but the only real agenda here is restoring the divine justice that was missing internally. It’s a mission that we expect to find unfinished in some ways when the final call comes to stand before our Creator. This thing we do carries with it the ultimate confidence in Our Creator to remake us, and in similar fashion to remake everyone else who shares this thing.

So on the one hand, we cannot possibly keep this to ourselves. On the other hand, we dare not transgress anyone else’s boundaries in any way. This whole thing is about divine justice, God’s character, cosmic moral truth, etc. It’s all the same thing. The highest art form is discerning the fluctuating contextual boundaries to satisfy God’s moral imperatives in the moment. But we can’t avoid this moral justice oozing out into the world around us. It’s the miracle of our Father’s Presence in us as we go about shining His light into every corner of our own existence. We can’t avoid bumping into other people who happen to populate portions of our private world.

You have to find your own path, but I would never presume to infiltrate my person or my teachings into an existing religious organization to disrupt things there. That will surely happen to some degree, but not by my design or intent. People who absorb what I share will eventually come into conflict with the existing system of their world and handle it according to their own calling. But there is no conscious effort at shaking things up. The truth of God does that by itself. It certainly shakes me up, and to all appearances, does the same to some of you, dear readers.

So all we have to do is live out the implications of that shaking and shattering before the world. God will catch the attention of whom He will, by whatever means pleasing to Him. To the degree we are any threat to the existing order, it’s simply because we exist as proof that there is something not right in the system. God is adding to our number. We aren’t keeping count in any human sense, because too many will need to move along and take this thing with them once they get what they need. Others will stay to help with the incubation process. Today I’m addressing myself to those who feel led to stick around for awhile.

Don’t worry about cooking up a strategy. Just be and the actions will become apparent in their time. By all means, notice how it works, insofar as you can discern it. That’s part of the incubation process: We can tell others what we have seen. So sometimes I get the craziest ideas in my head and they won’t let go, yapping at my heels and demanding action. It’s because I’m not God and can’t comprehend what He’s planning, so I do well enough to respond when I can discern something rather concrete that I should try. It’s not even the doing, per se, but moving in the right direction to intercept something I can’t possibly see coming.

Just those things we find calling from within our convictions is enough. It tends to be more than we can handle anyway, so that’s plenty without trying to devise a plan that might interfere with God’s moves. Stay loose.

Some practical implications for me: I haven’t seen the end of this ghost server. How I use it now is not how I’ll use it somewhere down the line. There is a lot I can’t see in the misty future, but my heart tells me this is just a passage along the way. This thing is parish property, so to speak, and I’m simply the guy tasked to handle it. I still need a serious laptop, but this is a prayer request, not a call for funds. All I understand right now is that I’ll need to isolate my personal stuff from the server some day because the server will be somehow open to the public. Just pray with me; computers are the primary way I carry out my mission. I’m not a gamer and this is not about feeding my ego, as most of you already know. I’ll share the specs if you ask.

And the mission is not confined to some future exodus from mainstream churches. That is a major focus for obvious reasons, but we’ve long had a stream of folks coming here from outside of organized religion. God uses our limited grasp of the situation, too, but it seems this thing we do here calls to a lot of folks from all across the human spectrum. Divine justice is sweeter than any siren song and certainly does no harm. However, my conscious effort is mostly a matter of reaching out to folks consciously professing Christ who bear a sense they are being held back from really serving Him. I remain convinced that something ahead on the road for humanity will cause an exodus of conscience. I’m trying to be ready to help them and asking you to consider joining that effort. That we are sure to bless others is hardly a mission failure.

Not Just the Dispies

Posted on March 16, 2016 by ehurst

While I’ve made a lot of noise about the need to be ready for some level of exodus from the Zionist-Dispensationalist claptrap in churches, that’s not the whole story here. I’ve also predicted for quite some years that churches in general are at high risk of alienating a large portion of their membership on a whole range of issues. A lot of what I write and offer on my FTP server is aimed at this broader set of problems.

It’s bad enough that way too many folks attend church only as a social ritual. They don’t go to get closer to Christ but to fulfill some cultural obligation. As far as they are concerned, it’s all one thing, which is as much proof as we need to show this isn’t a spiritual activity at all. It’s just called that.

But particularly here in the US, there is a serious underlying compromise, a time-bomb waiting to go off. That tax-free designation comes with a cost. We’ve already seen where FEMA went all out to enlist as many pastors as possible into their system to help herd folks into compliance with the kind of murderous takeover we saw during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Just use any search engine with the keywords “pastor” and “FEMA” and you’ll see plenty of references. FEMA was being nice when they made that first appeal; they could have simply ordered the pastors to comply. That tax-free stuff comes with strings attached and saner folks have been talking about that quietly.

Let’s put this in perspective. I’ve noted several times that among the global ruling elite there are at least a few who would relish the thought of a civil war here in the US. They would profit from it regardless who fought whom, and would profit regardless who won. So we are watching the Republican primaries and already the GOP leadership has said things like, “The voters don’t decide who runs for office; we do.” And they’ve already said Trump will not be allowed to take the Republican nomination. And Trump has said quite plausibly that when the GOP leadership shut him out, there will be rioting and revolt that destroys the Republican Party as we know it. Meanwhile, Soros is funding rioting leading up to that moment on the left side. But if there is rioting either way, as many commentators have warned, this plays into the hands of Washington DC, “forcing” them to shut down the election and maybe even declaring martial law. That’s all plausible, and maybe even the plan of some.

So if there is any kind of social unrest on a scale that approaches what we saw in the Vietnam War protests, I’m quite certain there would be martial law on some level, at least in some locations. We can speculate why, but I sense that TPTB have lost touch with reality and are quite willing to destroy everything in their impatience with humanity. But in the midst of all this crap, we should be totally surprised if they don’t pull out that tax-exemption card and demand churches do their part to bring the herds under control. You can check for yourself, but legal analysis of the actual tax code and associated federal policies tell us that government officials can restrict what pastors say in the pulpit, and demand some kind of assistance in emergency situations.

As always, I have no plans whatsoever to get involved in advocacy for any side in this mess. What I do plan is to keep this ministry going and prepare as many of you as feel the call to have some idea how you can help folks disillusioned by how the churches will be forced to act. This is a major element in how we can exploit the situation for the glory of God. As much as possible, I’m trying to establish a collection of backups, ways I can keep this virtual parish intact. If I lose this account, if I lose the server hosting the other blog, then I can still quickly run the whole thing from my ghost server at home and pray that a dynamic DNS service is available so I can at least maintain some kind of online presence. Or maybe we can come up with some other kind of service somewhere that will help fill in the blanks.

No, I don’t have all the equipment I would like to have, but I can get by. I’ll do what I can and trust God for the rest. Would some of you like to keep a copy of my stuff? Just ask; we’ll work something out. Need guidance in writing up your own? Again, ask and I’m sure we can work something out.

This is not me waving my hands in panic over some imaginary nightmare scenario. I’m plotting ways to keep the message out there where we can help folks who need it. Keep your eyes open. Read the news sites, as much to see what they are lying about or hiding as to see what’s new. Read alternative news sites, whatever appeals to you. I find it hard to imagine this will all blow over and things will keep stumbling along as they are now. But I’m not in any kind of panic. I’m praying and watching and trying to be ready to move at His command. I’m preaching that you should do the same in your own way.
