But A Spec of Dust Satan was having a good millennium. He had had many good millennia but this one was especially nice. He was surveying some of his accomplishments and how impressed others were with them. He was very brilliant and powerful after all. Most of those he came into contact with were so inferior he had difficulty communicating with them. He would see the bewildered looks in their eyes as he went into great detail about some impressive action or thing he had done. How could they ever appreciate his accomplishments with their inferior make up. He decided he would go and have a conversation with God. God could understand and appreciate it all. It was always good to talk with God. He was sure his creator should be able to appreciate the grandeur of his life. God was always patient with these dialogues although they were growing more into speeches. God would hear in great detail the impressive descriptions and clearly did understand how impressive they were. God had made Satan to be impressive and do impressive things. He loved his creation and would acknowledge the greatness being described. Satan interrupted his recitation of one of his most impressive acts and excitedly exclaimed, “I have an idea. It will improve things for both of us. We don’t really get the appreciation we deserve. Let’s create beings that are great like us that can appreciate how great we are.” God’s heart sank at the hearing of the suggestion. He knew Satan struggled with not getting enough attention. God had specially created Satan with his most spectacular attributes and improved on that by making him with the capability to grow and learn and understand all that was good and right. God had had many conversations encouraging that growth. Things seemed to be getting worse. God once again explained to Satan that all of his creation was impressed with what Satan was doing and they were in awe of the greatness of it even though they did not fully understand it or comprehend it. All of a sudden Satan’s heart was filled to over flowing with a burst of anger. “It is not enough” he declared in a low growl. “I need you to create beings that can fullyappreciate us and what we do. We do great things and it is not appreciated enough and that is wrong.” God was quiet for a very long time. When next he spoke, it was carefully and softly. “I will not do as you have demanded. It is not required.” Satan felt as though his heart would burst when he heard the rejection. With an uncontrollable scream he declared, “I must have it. I must have it. Do it. Do it. Do it or I will.” God heard the demand and with pain responded even more softly. “My heart breaks. But, I must do as you have prayed. I will create millions of creatures that will be able to appreciate more fully what I do and what you do. They will share my heart and mind as no other creation I have made.” Satan was taken aback. After he digested the words, he got excited. “Great! Great!” he declared. “I have been thinking about it for quite a while and I know just what to make. I have assessed the most important ingredients and attributes that are required. “I …., I …., I ….,” he seemed to drone on for an eternity. God would take no more. “Satan, be still,” God practically whispered. Satan was hushed. God very slowly and deliberately knelt, reached down and touched his foot. Upon standing he presented his finger to Satan to behold and asked him to describe what he was seeing. “Why, it is a spec of dust,” he declared with contempt. Satan never did understand why God would make something so without shape and void of any purpose or special quality. He had declared it a million times in his heart, “This is the lowest of all things God has created, why did he do it?” God’s voice was now rising. “You are right. From this dust I shall make universes and worlds and in those worlds I shall make man. He will be made in my image. He shall share my heart, he shall share my mind, and I will walk with him and commune with him and he will appreciate all that I do. He will also declare for all creation and eternity the folly of your rebellion and the fullness of your deficiencies. He will be the witness at your judgment day.” Satan in shock beyond words drank in the reality of the moment. Not only would he not be having creatures that would finally appreciate him, he would be mocked by this man made of dust creature. As he stared at the contemptible speck of dust still on God’s outstretched finger, his heart turned to pure evil. “I will not be mocked.” was the chant of his heart over and over as he turned and left. He vowed, “I will destroy this dust creature.” As Satan receded into the distance, God began to speak once again, “Let there be light…….”

Rich men all through history have always found the women that "will let you". That is promiscuity and not sexual assault. The LEFT is all lies. Teach your kids about human nature and history so they have the knowledge to navigate the real world

@JoJoFromJerz JD said not $1 of US money is being talked about. Lies that spring from darkness will die in the light.

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

Transparency is never an abuse of power. When things come to light, we can either congratulate you for a job well done or prosecute you if you have violated the law.

@JustineBateman It may not turn out to be illegal corruption but it is the ancient definition of corruption which is to mess up anything that is touched and destroy the process so you only end up with more mess.

As a California taxpayer, I hope the inquiry uncovers where the billions and billions and billions of dollars from fraudulent unemployment cards, trains to nowhere, partially-realized building plans, etc have gone under the watch of this governor. Whether wasted or stolen, every CA citizen deserves justice over the financial sieve that is CA governance. @DOJFraudDiv @dojphofficial @realDonaldTrump

Well said. Socialism and communism makes people deaf to the knowledge of wealth building because it kills their engine of lazy needy people looking to the government for everything that is never really ever sufficiently supplied. Wealth builders build the sufficient supply.

If incompetence were a crime and the negative consequences to homeless people was a crime because of dereliction of duty at the California government level, you would absolutely be in prison. Wildfires killing people Billions wasted on no train Homeless everywhere

Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one. He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President. He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history. We have nothing to hide.  Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere.  The country is watching.

@elonmusk I consider Elon Musk my managing partner and look forward to the fulfillment of the aspirational efforts of his enterprises. The world will get great tools that in the hands of a good person will produce many blessings. In the hands of bad actors, these tools are destructive.

The people of Iran have the right to their money if they act as a responsible nation. Trust but verify worked with the Soviet Union. It's kind of an obvious solution to not getting nuked by Iran.
