Thanks for the info!

I miss the hover 'parent comment' button!

Wait...I've read that she was a 14 yr vet, but also that she was a 16-yo girl. Now I'm confused. Which is it?

Check out a book called Conservative Insurgency. It's basically a roadmap about how we'll need to do this. Also, it's fun, thinking about the timeline with conservative (spoiler: NOT Republican) control.

I pray you're right.

Yep, we're going to need a MASSIVE paradigm shift to pull this off - law and order are gone. Justice as we know it is a memory. 'Fair' flew out the window months ago, if not years ago.

Lots of people are saying, "This is war," when they don't fully understand what that really means.

Yep, on his live stream around 3-4 oclock, just before they went to his show.

Lol, Alex Jones, "Everybody go home, we'll prosecute this."

WTF?

Most 'republicans' are only conserving their own positions, not the constitution.

I like the term "constitutional conservative" from Schlichter's book, Conservative Insurgency.

I found seeds too (on Etsy, there are a lot of small farmers on there), but they are hella expensive and you have to be careful that you aren't ordering fake chinese seeds.

I didn't know they had a canine program! How cool.

I'm worried about some false flag 'incident' suddenly shutting down flights into DC.

My new phone background!

It looks like starter plants are really expensive, too. Hmm, I'll have to think about it. Thanks for the info!

And 0 children in need, and 0 veterans waiting for help or medication, and 0 families who are trying to decide between paying the electric bill and putting gas in the car to go to work. I don't like handouts, but if we're going to hand it out anyway, let's hand it to our own people.

there's a religious revival.

Where are you seeing signs of this? I've been praying for it, but I would love to see more evidence.

Freedom Square

Or Trump Terrace Based Boulevard American Avenue Patriot Plaza

I think we should just rename every street in DC.

Well, it's safer for the kids than what they're doing now, indoctrination. I don't have kids in the system anymore, but I still think we should completely choke out public schools and revamp the whole mess.

This is cool info! I'm going to try to grow some.

And if you notice, sin always comes from actual needs, taken too far:

Gluttony. We need food, but we eat too much.

Adultery/fornication. We were designed to enjoy sex, but we take it to dangerous places.

Greed. We need money to live, but we let it take over and hurt others in the pursuit of it.

And so on and so forth.

I was you, years ago. I decided, based on the premise that the Bible has survived thousands of years and is still around regardless of how many have tried to destroy it, there must be something there. But what?

So I read it. Then I asked Him, studied, asked some more, argued with Him in my prayers about what I learned, then went and learned some more. He met me where I was and started answering my questions. Sometimes He spoke through others, sometimes it was like a lightning bolt of certainty when the answer came. It was crazy, but it was precious, too. His Spirit was right there with me, leading me to the answers and reassurances I needed.

I figured if God wasn't big enough to handle my questions and concerns, he wasn't big enough to be my god. He handled it just fine! Ask Him. Argue with Him (just be ready to listen to His answers). He respects that - He gave us brains to use and hearts to feel. Just be deeply honest and humble enough to consider that you might be wrong about some things.

Pro tip from an old preacher I once knew: Praying is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you shut up and listen. God is big, bigger than any of us can wrap our head around.

Also, if you enjoy reading, check out The Sacred Romance by Jon Eldridge.

Wow, there's a name I haven't heard in a long time! I was just looking for something to read, so I'm going to see if he has any new books out. Thanks!

Thank you for your civility in this conversation. We all find our own way to God, and I respect your beliefs whether I share them or not.

Merry Christmas!

My ex-husband was raised in an LDS church. I think it was the one thing that kept him from completely destroying himself with drugs after we split.
