They could have bowed down and worshipped that golden statue and saved themselves that day, but they didn’t. They chose God because they were faithful, steadfast and didn’t give a crap what others were doing around them.

There is a certain truth to the idea of a deep state. In fact, there is a deep state that is extremely deep as to be utterly unseen.

I kicked off on a journey of detailing every single blessing of the LORD in a diary. I did it for about 40 days then quit! But, I didn’t quit out of ingratitude, but from the reality that even if I’m given the whole world as a journal, it still cannot contain all of the blessings of GOD in my life.

I propose that our country and, specifically, our children, have gone through a trauma. Then layer that with the constant warning signs everywhere, being treated like a walking contagion, apps that connected you with infection rates in your area giving out alerts, businesses going out, non-stop social media posts, death tolls up on every news station, and being blocked from even participating in holidays, birthdays, weddings, or funerals. 

"JESUS died for you"...this isn't a cliché, JESUS was actually killed, JESUS was slapped, He was exchanged for a robber who was rightfully guilty of a felony,

It both haunts and intrigues, excites and exhausts. My choice is to view and mourn what’s taken for granted.
