@NahumOBrien Something about fire-watching is so beguiling. Whether you’re a young earther or old earther, our ancestors felt the same thing while watching embers burn.

A plank-eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided. But You died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet. Here I am Lord, send me. Isa. 6:8

The truth is, it doesn't matter what a verse means to me, to you, or to anyone else.
What matters is what the verse means!

@Sadie_NC I’ve hung rock in my time. Although these guys are fast, me and the clients I serve, would be more interested in craft and accuracy.

Many evangelicals exist merely to lull the middle class to sleep while it is destroyed. They shroud cowardice with pietism.
The cultural marxism people from the 1960s relied on the same trick: psychologize and pathologize your opponents.
Guy: "Hey, the left is destroying our institutions."
Pastor: "You should focus on your own piggy little heart, you seem to be crackling with envy."
Guy: "No, seriously, the immigrants are at my door and want to rape my wife and kill my kids."
Pastor: "You could call the cops, but honestly I should wonder that doesn't betray a heart that's out of step with the gospel."
Guy: Can I at least defend myself?
Pastor: I mean, you're ready for heaven, and the criminal isn't. I won't say what you should do, but getting killed like Jim Elliot seems to be noble.
Guy: Well, I still think illegal immigration is bad.
Pastor: You know what's really bad? Your lack of joy right now. You sound like the Left. You think you're a victim.

The constant underhanded accusation from conservative Christian pastors that Christians who complain about the prevailing order of our time are lazy, joyless, victim-mentality, bitter complainers is just one of the more common ways the sheep are abused. Sin is in the heart. Do we need encouragement to turn from faithless despair and press on in the joy of the Lord? Yes. Do we need constant inquisitions and accusations? No. There is a difference, and the constant discouragement of conservatives who aren’t fake enough and politically suave enough to win, win, win in the name of Jesus is cruel and dishonors his name and people.
“If you just had the right frame of mind you’d be successful” is a common conservative trope that has little to do with reality.

My whole life, liberals have always been motivated by a perpetual victim mentality, even when they control something. They’re always up against better financed corporations, deep seated bigotries, all powerful hate groups who can muster numbers. Meanwhile, they control most of the powerful institutions and are way better funded than the people they accuse of their devil words like racism and misogyny. They get political traction by comparing reality to their utopian pipe dreams. If only they were in charge it would be perfect, but they’re always foiled by some shadowy cabal. The conservative instinct was always to make do with reality, live content, take initiative, trust Providence, never claim victimhood, win instead of whine, tell the truth, don’t let complaints turn to bitterness, argue ideas. There used to be a popular bumper sticker: “How to Ruin a Liberals Day: Work Hard, Succeed, Be Happy.” I think about this sometimes.

@SavvyUnbowed Ugh. Turn that lower right screw to three o’clock, immediately.

Back on my feet. I think I’m finally on the downhill side of covid. Some symptoms remain, but far less severe. Grateful for your prayers.

@thisisfoster Amen to this. And many more years of experiences just as fulfilling as those to you, and me.

A nice evening to cook some great northern beans over the fire.

@TruckerDanUSA Brother, I’m praying now and tomorrow for the best outcome for you. I had colon cancer five years ago and had the same Doctor you have. None better.
BTW, I just saw this truck in person at @SqueegsKustoms in Chandler AZ last week.

Good evening y’all ! I have to go in for a long CAT scan in the morning. Trying to determine if I have lung cancer. I’ve known about this for a couple of weeks, no one knew.
It will be a couple of days before they read the scans. I’ve got a great Doctor. Carry on.
English
@NahumOBrien Ugh.
But, God’s mercies are new every day. Your day too my brother. I continue to pray.
English
One upside about having come down with Covid is that I’ve forgotten all about having cancer for a few days.

Lost my favorite pair of fencing pliers so I bought a new pair in the hopes that the old ones would reappear, as one does.
