I'm a simple man, a follower of Christ, a husband to one, a father to five, and a grandfather to 11, a lover of all things outdoors.
Life is about that simple on one scale.
There has always been a Truth versus evil backdrop to our world. Whether we lived lone ago or are alive today. Our troubles are just 2020's version and we don't need hindsight
to see Truth versus evil still existing.
Some say there is no Truth. I pray for them to find peace without it because vanity, vanity, vanity is not fun. May be comforting, but it's a non-stop anxiety producing life. Need proof, ask any doctor have many of their patients with a net worth over $1,000 are on meds for depression and anxiety. Answer: too many.
Some say there is no evil. We wish it weren't so, but only the naive can smile and say that. Hardship is not evil, and some confuse the two, but evil knows where to operate. It has since Adam.
We live in a blessed land for sure and have more than almost all by any measure. Perhaps most of us would support a new rising of American government grounded in faith and honesty (in that order) but most would not. They'd struggle with the faith portion. Toss that out. They'd struggle with the philosophy of "honest." Who decides that? And then we're right back where we started. Again. And again. And again.
It's not a reset. It's the Divine plan of Redemption for His Creation and He will see it through.
I'm just glad I'm a trapper. Seems other folks are a bit on edge these days.
Not getting outdoors will do that to you.
We are created from the earth and need some under our fingernails every now and again to keep off the meds!
Blessings,
Mark
