Help Is On The Way

Grief is part of living... my grandparents (1999), my brother (2003), my father (2005),
my husband (2019), my mother (2022) ... save a place for me.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
-Psalms 118:17-29

The Edge

 

 

 

 

 The Edge

 

Most of us will never know
How dark this world can seem
When life becomes more nightmare than a dream…

...though my world
Might seem so torn apart,
Most often it is joy that breaks the heart…

So to all of you who have survived
A visit to the edge
I trust that you will understand this pledge.

I promise I will always leave
The darkness for the Light.
I swear by all that's Holy
I will not give up the fight.
I'll drink down death like water
Before I ever come again
To that dark place where I might make
The choice for life to end.

 

-Michael Card

We hold these truths to be self-evident. Stand in this Room at your own risk...

Decide for yourself

President Trump’s Tribute to George Floyd that the biased Media did not want you to see.
Here is the transcript for you to decide for yourself:

I understand the pain that people are feeling. The death of George Floyd on the streets of Minneapolis was a grave tragedy. It should never have happened. It has filled Americans all over the country with horror, anger and grief.

We support the rights of peaceful protesters and we hear their pleas. The voices of law abiding citizens must be heard and heard very loudly. We stand with the family of George Floyd, with the peaceful protesters and with every law abiding citizen who wants decency, civility, safety and security. But what we are now seeing on the streets of our cities has nothing to do with justice or with peace. The memory of George Floyd is being dishonored by rioters, looters and anarchists.

The violence and vandalism is being led by Antifa and other radical left wing groups who are terrorizing the innocent and destroying jobs. The mobs are devastating the life’s work of good people and destroying their dreams. It harms those who have the least. We cannot and must not allow a small group of criminals and vandals to wreck our cities and lay waste to our communities. We must defend the rights of every citizen to live without violence, prejudice or fear. Healing, not hatred, Justice not chaos are the mission at hand.

I stand before you as a friend and ally to every American seeking justice and peace. No one is more upset than fellow law enforcement officers by the small handful who failed to abide by their oath to serve and protect. We support the overwhelming majority of police who are incredible in every way and devoted public servants. We must all work together as a society to expand opportunity and to create a future of greater dignity and promise for all of our people. Every citizen in every community has the right to be safe in their workplace, safe in their homes and safe in our city streets. We are working toward a more just society, but that means building up not tearing down, joining hands, not hurling fists, standing in solidarity, not surrendering to hostility. This is the sacred right of all Americans that I am totally determined to defend and will defend.
- President Donald J Trump

This is a Test

Thou art charged with sedition and heresy...
thou hast displayed the mysteries of the scriptures to the commoners
without the permission or the guidance of the archbishop...
Thou art a heretic!! Who do you think you are!!
Pray, recite to us. What is your doctrine! - medieval Inquisitor, 1600s.

 

"...with the word of God in your hand, you can be a bigger threat to the evil of your day
than the evil of your day is a threat to you." -Carmen, Great God the Video.

Are you Ready for your test?

Sounds of Silence

And the people bowed and prayed
to the neon god they made....

Can You Hear Me...

Mike and the Mechanics (1985)

 
Take the children and yourself 

And hide out in the cellar 

By now the fighting will be close at hand 

Don't believe the church and state 

And everything they tell you 

Believe in me, I'm with the high command 

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 

Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 

There's a gun and ammunition 

Just inside the doorway 

Use it only in emergency

Better you should pray to 

God The Father and the Spirit 

Will guide you and protect from up here 

Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 

Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 

Swear allegiance to the flag 

Whatever flag they offer 

Never hint at what you really feel 

Teach the children quietly 

For some day sons and daughters 

Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 

Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 

 Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?) 

(Can you hear me) hear me calling you?

 (Can you hear me running) hear me running babe? (

Can you hear me running) hear me running? Calling you, calling you

Hold On Tight A Little Longer

The Meshuganeh-Cat is Back - For Good

Hard Love
By Need To Breathe

Trading punches with the heart of darkness
Going to blows with your fear incarnate
Never gone until it's stripped away
A part of you has gotta die to change

In the morning you gon' need an answer
Ain't nobody gonna change the standard
It's not enough to just feel the flame
You've gotta burn your old self away

Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love

You know the situation can't be right
And all you ever do is fight
But there's a reason that the road is long
It take some time to make your courage strong

Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love

When the wolves come and hunt me down
I will face them all and stand my ground
'Cause there's a fire burnin' in me
They will see my strength in this love I found
 
 Oh - Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love

It's a hard love... Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger 
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
 Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
'Cause it's a hard love 

May I be like Gideon - Judges 6:36-40
