“The Left Gives Us This as Their Face of Reason”

by Lawrence Morra

No wonder the world is running rampantly toward Helter-Skelter!

Dr. Michael Savage stated it so well when he wrote that, “Liberalism is a mental disorder.”

We’ve been observing the Desperate Loony Left rant and rave like spoiled rotten children for decades reaching this fever pitch in the last dozen years with their over the top agendas of communism, atheism, transsexuals with 52 assorted genders, legalized pot for all the Pot Head Liberals so their children can get an early start being stoned for true Liberal Living, Pedophilia, hatred of America’s history and heritage or anything that is truly good to be attacked and replaced with any unimaginable twisted perversion under the sun!  This crap has to end and soon or we will have an all-out hell on earth leading to total destruction!  Evil and Insanity cannot be allowed to rule! Period!

The way to a cleaner, sustainable planet is not to eliminate fossil fuels and nuclear power, but rather to expand their use, especially in developing countries to bring economic growth and prosperity, the way such sources did for the developed world.

This is one of the primary themes in the new book, Apocalypse Never, written not by a “climate denier” or “corporate shill.” Instead, author Michael Shellenberger is a 30-year environmental activist with street cred in various causes including saving California’s redwood forests and co-founding a “progressive Democratic, labor-environment push” in 2002 for the New Apollo Project, a renewable energy initiative that long predated the Green New Deal. He also is a Time magazine “Hero of the Environment.”

Shellenberger’s background is a key reason Apocalypse Never is so devastating to extremist environmentalism that has taken hold in politics, the media, K-12 education and popular culture…

Exclusive from Gen. Flynn: If We Don’t Act, 2% of the People Are About To Control the Other 98%

General Michael Flynn Sm Print.jpg

General Michael Flynn is a good God fearing man as well as a great American patriot who not only served and protected his Nation and its people gallantly but has had to fight the additional battle on the home front with the many corrupted Deep State evil minions that saw him as a threat to their agenda and the exposing of all their many crimes against America and its people. God has brought this measure of justice saving General Flynn from the clutches of the nefarious in our nation who will stop at nothing to get their own way and they are working for evil itself make no mistake about that, not only has the proverbial writing been on the wall, but, we have borne witness to these anti-American, enemies within carrying on blatantly lying and committing acts of outright Treason and Treachery out in the open now, which in past generations all of them would have been hung already for these most egregious crimes.  But, these times are different and so convoluted is the Justice System with what we have had going on namely the Deep State which is nothing more than a fraud and Shadow Government that has many participants who have no intention of following “rule of law” and abiding by the “US Constitution” which General Michael Flynn proudly defended during his entire military career!  These despots are writing their own rules as they go and so far because of the extent of this Deep State corruption they were able to escape scrutiny and the long arm of the law to face Justice.  But, that has all changed and God is helping His faithful to gain the momentum along with the inertia they needed and deserved to see that a full measure of justice will prevail against all of our domestic enemies and they are going to be brought to justice sooner rather than later.  God bless America and all of you out there who are as hopeful as I in our faith that God is with us and always has been with America, these United States of America, One Nation under God, inadvisable with Liberty and Justice for all.

“Tyrants Playing God”
So, now the CCP places itself, these intolerant tyrant atheists above God and declare themselves the God of the world and universe! These evil monsters are some of the most hideous vile human beings on the face of the earth and actually for them to be called human beings makes me actually want to puke! This is a wake-up call to anyone out there that has any illusions about what is going on with the Wuhan Corona Virus Plandemic-Pandemic, and the fact that The Biden family, Pelosi family along with many other top Dem leaders, but also including the RINO betrayer Mitt Romney; have been doing mega million behind the scenes backdoor deals with these monsters just like Bill Gates and his equally evil wife Melinda for more money and power. And, Biden calls himself a Catholic if that don’t beat all! Back when he was campaigning with Obama for their second term Biden yelled out to a massive crowd, “I have no problem with same sex marriage.” We also know he has no problem with full term day of delivery abortion! If anyone has a problem seeing that Biden’s outlandish hypocrisy, outright pandering and lying during his whole life long crooked politician career since back in the early seventies isn’t some kind of diabolical creature most likely now demonically possessed, then you would need as much help as he does, but, in his case I don’t even think the top exorcist in the world can save his immortal soul from damnation, just like Xi JinPing and the whole CCP as they have all blasphemed God Almighty and have chosen Satan over God, violating the First Commandment. The First Commandment states to us clearly not to accept a religion or philosophy that teaches that our life and well-being originate with or depend on anything other than the one true God. “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:2-3). There is no other power that rules over the heavens and the earth. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment” (Matt 22:37-38). They are eternally doomed to the pits of hell! On the other side of this, China you must realize has never been our friend nor never will be since becoming a full blown Lenin/Marxist Communist totalitarian regime and being antichrist they are no doubt key players ushering in the antichrist which could very well be coming soon! Regardless of when, in the meantime we all have to pray and strive toward supporting our President Trump and his team who are our only earthly hope to pull out of this graveyard spiral that that this nation was forced into by the evil NWO Obama/Hillary Cartel Cabal. Soros a sworn enemy of America is licking his demonic chops hoping to not kick the bucket before he can see the collapse of America into ruin and chaos and I say we with the help of God Almighty are going to turn the table on that SOB and all the traitors long before this country implodes, we can make what seems impossible very possible, if we keep our faith in Jesus Christ strong while doing all we can to support our President who was sent to us by God as our hero in time of desperate need, and, we have to give him a second term to get America back on its solid Constitutional Republic foundation of one nation under God!

Technology and Tepid Theology
These lines strike me clearly so powerfully and compelling: “Our mission is to stand in stark contrast to the culture, even, sometimes, the culture within the Church herself. To challenge complacency and cowardice. To reclaim and protect everything that is good, and beautiful, and true.”

This is where we are and it took many decades and indeed through the millennium to arrive at this juncture which to me is the edge of the precipice because not to be cliché but we are literally heading to hell in a hand basket now! The cataclysmic and total annihilation of humanity and this earth are moments away if certain steps taken are allowed to be completed, which is the crux of our faith that we Trust Always in the Lord God the Creator of the heavens and the earth, that He is in control; and will either allow or take measures one way or another to bring about His will, now and until the end of this world.  I have to admit that with some things that happened to me personally over the last 15 years and what I see ratcheting up in the world now, tell me this is heading toward Armageddon, or some unexpected miracle from above will come to forestall the inevitable!  The world as we know it has never been in such a madcap out of control condition in modern times, and, because of the enormous weapon power at the fingertips of humans now coupled with AI and the digital technologies this is the most unprecedented time to have ever been, as far as life on earth; and the teetering on the brink situation we all are facing now.  I want to include several article/essays I published recently to hopefully supplement this fine work in a minor way to perhaps further inspire anyone who as you mentioned here is hiding behind “tepid theology and a feel-good gospel,” or even those who are lost presently in need of a bit of enlightenment. Thank you for this opportunity and may God bless you greatly.  Amen.

Dan Burke, founder of Catholic Spiritual Direction, wrote about a recent webinar conversation he had with Fr Dwight Longnecker concerning spiritual warfare.

“World events can feel oppressive, especially right now, but every now and then I have a discussion that’s so clear and convicting it re-energizes me for the battle.

Recently I had such a conversation in a webinar with Fr. Dwight Longenecker. We spoke about spiritual warfare and the lies and tactics of our common enemy, an enemy who has— for far too long — hidden himself in our everyday lives under anxious whispers and infiltrated the Church behind tepid theology and a feel-good gospel. The essence of the devil, said Fr. Longenecker, is that he is a liar. “Everything is a lie,” he said. “He is constantly lying.” He called it the “deep deception which is the sin of the world.”

Fr. Longenecker reminded us that when the…

America is turning into a “Banana Republic!” by Lawrence Morra
Look around, we already have plenty of cartels in operation and many waiting in the wings for the right chaotic moment to pounce! We’ve got the Dem Commie Cartel with its subsets of Radial Leftists, Socialists, Commies, Gangster Politicians, Satanists, Muslim Jihadists forming the quiet Caliphate in Minneapolis, MS-13 and too many to shake a stick at! Too many conflicted, and conflicting antichrist humans running rampant now; and this can only end in utter chaos and destruction!

An Eye is Taken for An Eye-I see Trouble on the Way

“I Hear the Voice of Rage and Ruin”

Modernism, Paganism and Freemasonry are within the very sanctuary of the Church, and Communism in the world at large.

Bad moon docu.jpg

That train of thought was the beginning of a blog commentary back and forth with a very devout Catholic that inspired me to open up my heart and soul today regarding things I prayed on last night and then again in the early morning upon waking too; when I realized I needed to start composing these thoughts and feelings from my own personal hard-fought experience to help others and this woman did give me the additional catalyst and insight via the Holy Spirit to say it right!  As I responded to words that caught my eyes more toward the end of her long comment, these stood out to me from the page before I even looked at the starting point of the text.  They basically said we are in a time when parents have to struggle incessantly worrying over the effects this modern technological world which is a hedonist, atheistic world of anti-Christian, materialistic secularism, and as we can see lately Marxist Communism rising to capture the multitudes.

Protesting minions web

Here is what I explained to her and then again responding to her commentary all of what I said amazingly was inspired because after I addressed her latter part of her message I returned to the blog and what she said before seeing my response which took some time to compose, but, you can see by this sample here of a paragraph I wrote to her was on cue 100% synchronized and could only be the Holy Spirit at work.  “Now we have people like author Rowling that promote sorcery and the occult like it’s a fun thing in Harry Potter, manipulating young minds and hearts to seek fanciful worlds of magic and mysticism over seeking to know God and their actual purpose for existing.” As you read I’ll hopefully explain well enough for you to understand my total sense of urgency and need for any of you who love Jesus Christ and believe or even if you have had a wishy-washy faith, and, know of others who don’t believe, you need to focus on the utter importance that this is urgent, this plea I make to others to seek God now!

I had written recently about this period we’re in now how it isn’t just a most  unprecedented of times but the “most” unprecedented that will ever come to this weary world because, there is no way the confrontation coming will be quelled without utter ruin, the likes of which this planet and all of humanity has never witnessed!  Even I believe far beyond the cataclysmic end by the flood and a new beginning of Noah’s time; because this is a ruin from the inside out, and from without, together in order for diabolical evil to gain complete control, and, not like the sweeping flood from a deluge of rain water from above!  I remember in a movie this character says “free your mind and your ass will follow,” and how that is what the Devil is working to prevent, because, he and the many evil minions some of which are in our high government positions see that enslaving the minds, then the asses will follow like sheep!

Auschwitz docu.jpg

I just heard that a city council meeting may have started out with a prayer to Allah and Satan, which I certainly will investigate, but, I bring it up not because I already know that is quite possibly true, but because of what you mentioned already in your writing on the blog along with my own insights of how the Free Masons and Illuminati along with the Luciferians, and all manner of evil occult practices are thoroughly permeated into the fabric of our high-tech digital, AI networked global society, that has turned its back on Jesus Christ and thusly God the Father; with a rebellion I feel is not unlike the beginning of all rebellion, when Lucifer with the fallen angels rebuked and transgressed God.

Kerry eyes of evil web.jpg

I see the striking clash of this present time mind-set so strongly contrasts the period when C.S. Lewis was writing for the sake of children in some of his writings, to inspire Christianity and the love of Christ in their hearts, after having lost his faith when his mother died, later regaining it miraculously and so beautifully.  Now we have people like Rowling that promote sorcery and the occult like it’s a fun thing in her Harry Potter series manipulating young minds and hearts to seek fanciful worlds of magic and mysticism over seeking to know God and their actual purpose for existing.  The world has played with fire for too long and now the magnitude of this folly or vanity is so massive that there will never be another time so ripe, for not just the communists Marxist devils of the world, but, no better a moment for the Devil himself to seize this opportunity to steal most if not all of humanity he figures from God, as his one final ultimate act of contempt and hatred of God Himself!

missile web

In my mind there is no doubt we are in WWIII and this is the final battle, but, not just as you are well aware of war by attrition, to as in the past, slug it out until the good guys prevail, and then rebuild, only this is to have that one huge spiritual battle of Armageddon the clash between Heaven and Hell when all the forces both material and spiritual will be unleashed like never before and it is coming sooner I’m sure, barring any act of God Himself to postpone this inevitable demise.  There is no way all the powers and principalities are going to sort this earthly man-made mess out to some comfortable good compromise or peace.  Its one big poker-game and the stakes are never going to be higher; winner takes all!

Solidiers and Jets above docu.jpg

I prefer to think you’re the one in the greater state of grace being truly inspired, but, I’m a hit or miss sort who wants to do better for God and do at times and then I allow the bad that has happened, to gain my attention and distort my feelings or clarity.  I mostly let anger get a grip and my blood boils, but, never to actually strike out at all, just only hurting myself with stress and worry which the Devil loves any of us to do.  It’s best to look at it like my father always told me, “they can do anything to this body and even destroy it, but my soul belongs to God!”  That sums it up as to being strong in ones faith not letting anything come between us and God through our faith in Jesus Christ!  We just need to do the work and commit daily, religiously and even a regimental practice keeping our asses in alignment with His will.

Jesus speaking to diciples web

What I admit there is I’m a very passionate and compassionate man, but, by the hand of the dirty crooked world I was damaged and because of that have some residual anxiety, which we all actually have honestly speaking if you’re a human being with a real conscience and feelings in these insane times, how could we not be stressed, sad and worried with all of what is happening in the world and even in our own backyards, it will surely take away your ease or true peace of mind.  So, besides having to survive day to day with the work and toil of the living, we now are faced with this added stress factor which is real and people can choose to ignore it or numb it, and the final option which I utilize is turn it over to the Lord with genuine humility allowing Him to manage it or even heal it giving inner strength to any who follow Him, to carry their own cross, and, this is indeed part of doing that which is mandatory in today’s Helter-Skelter Mad-cap World! 

rioters city clash cops docu.jpg

Riots docu.jpg

It will never overpower my faith and love for Jesus, I’ve been tested in fire, as one good man and friend put it to me a few years ago in a deep conversation, how it really is, that not many people actually truly comprehend and know this about me.  I should be dead several times over, as I have fought a battle within society where I was set-up and then antagonized or provoked to elicit anger, so that I would mess up and then give the fascists the upper hand to clobber me and tear me to shreds, but, I outwitted these devils by God’s Holy Spirit touching and giving me strength!  For the most part people don’t give a damn when a person like me takes on the evil system alone, and that is OK with me, I used to care what people think about me or want them to like me, but, that is so much vanity and is foolish to me now, I only need Jesus Christ, I have no one else anyway really, none of us do, because, we all face our own death with only ourselves in that moment of leaving this life, I know that, and this world means nothing to me.  I think I can safely say that I know what martyrdom tastes like up close and personal, its hard, but, Jesus is there to help.

North American Martyrs.jpg

I was forcefully attacked both spiritually and physically on North American Martyr Day after having sprinkled Holy Water on the interior of a building I worked in where a tyrant and evil minion of Satan’s ruled with impunity within a government operation, and, I was told to do that by a man who once studied in the seminary to be a priest and didn’t go through with being ordained.  Obviously, his not doing this task himself is very telling, and, I happened along to have the honors and sprinkled plenty of Holy Water throughout praying as I went, especially on the big head honcho’s office!  The man I was up against within the government circles was so bad that many used to call him the Devil and he was proud of that title and told me so when I was first employed there, saying to me, “there are many who call me the Devil himself!”  Mind you this is a person in a government agency with a big responsibility to the public and all of the personnel that worked in that location; and this blatant arrogant vile statement was beyond the “Emperor having no cloths,” but, was telling me clearly this man was either demonically influenced with a network of the same within this overall organization to be so flippant and brash, or he was actually possessed!  He was even witnessed as saying he blames God for everything.  Me, the happy go lucky nice big brother to anyone was put in this predicament for a good reason, just like my Dad always said, there is a reason for everything!  My priest friend now, knows all of these things and not even family know the half of it, nor have time for it.  Some people don’t care out of selfishness and being somewhat weak, not having a strong enough faith that they practice.  I’m telling anyone who reads this I do it only for one reason, because, we are in the End Time and you better get your ass in gear to prepare your own souls for judgment; I know this is part of my duty to say this, and, I do hope in my heart I’m helping someone out there.

I had a few ladies lately speak about Catholics and how they being in other churches see this all as too much pomp or tradition and ritual!  I say this today to anyone that will listen.  Don’t you see how conflicted and sick humans are and how much sin they possess?  Do you really think you can skate though life and be devoid of making huge mistakes in your faith for Jesus?  I see the regimented doctrinal practice of faith as an only tool that keeps people on the straight and narrow, because, what did Jesus say!  “Enter the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road is spacious which leads to destruction, and many are those who are going in it.” Matthew 7:13

EbONJxZUYAAL0Ju

People think they can have their cake and eat it too, because, they say I’m a Christian and I don’t hurt anyone.  I love Jesus!  So, that will do it for many; they so think.  If it were that easy why is all of this confusion and mayhem going on all around us and even in our own families?  Or people that call themselves Christians are fighting other Christians and the oldest and strongest of the original Christian Church the Roman Catholic Church is infiltrated with evil and bad people among many good ones; the diabolical conflict within and without!  I would never be so stupid as to throw the baby out with the bath water.  And, if this strongest pillar of the Church the Church Jesus told Peter to build and be the head of, the first Pope in essence, has been so corrupted to ruin it you don’t think many smaller denominations are being infiltrated by evil spirits or weren’t when they broke away from the original Church in the big Reformation?  The Devil is working on all levels and was since the beginning with all peoples, to corrupt and manipulate to his own nefarious designs.

Jonestown maasacre web

All one need do is look at the Jim Jones story and how the Church he established from Reformation-Fake Christians, his People’s Temple, which this cult led by Reverend Jim Jones, “Jonestown Massacre,” How 909 people followed a cult leader to Guyana, ‘drank the Kool-Aid!” (history.com)  Some people put themselves up on a huge pedestal of knowing so much and many self-proclaimed expert authors are making plenty of money selling their own brand of Christianity, who are apparently geniuses knowing so much, that God wants them to set us all straight, but, 909 people and souls died as a direct result of the Reformation or one of these splinter cult groups of which there are too many to count, having caused much loss of life and souls.  So, because all of this mayhem and corruption abounds everywhere we look, now seeing our earthly lives are in a quagmire of deception, destruction and ruinous sin.  And, the road to destruction is the road we are on and in!  We are living in SIN and no hope of escaping it by our own plans or conceptualizations, Jesus didn’t say I died for you, so have your sins and then I will fix the books!  NO WAY, we better “shape up or ship out,” like my Mom said!  “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12, that’s no silly thing; we should fear the possible loss we face now, not down the road when dying or when I feel like it!  On the other-side of this life is eternity; and, can any of us say with certainty that we are home free?  NO WAY!  And, Satan is looking to trip up as many as he can before they die!  Look at these minions in the streets and all the higher notable people that live in horrendous sin and lust for power like George Soros, Hillary or Obama and Xi JinPing with his Chinese Communist Party, along with so many others that the list is countless!  I didn’t suffer; this is nothing, because we all deserve hell!  As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.” Romans 3:10

The Coup Criminals docu

Many churches and its followers think a modern designer approach is good enough or they know Scripture and stand by it.  Then, many of these same people live lives of selfishness or lack true humility, thinking they know what they are doing!  Wake up; every one that wants to make it to heaven, this world is passing away and your opportunity to make it there is disappearing before your very eyes; don’t you get that? And, you’re not going to cut it if you are halfhearted and not in all the way and willing to carry your cross every day without fail fighting this sinful world that wants to devour your time, energy and soul!  This is the world of vanities and sin where the prince of darkness has his way.  It’s not a fluff and puffed up affair of I do a bit and I live a bit!   No, it is all in, and, do or die, especially now there is no excuse, you get that?  The proverbial writing isn’t just on the wall it’s everywhere and in your face!  Look at all those fires in Australia the likes of which have never been seen before on earth in Modern Times destroying billions of animals along with their habitat which were all arson, intentionally set fires to increase havoc and suffering on earth, fear factor and misery, by the evil people like the Jihadists or minions of Xi JinPing and Soros! 

Soros devils own  web.jpg

Then, here in the US because of one Black man Floyd all this carnage and death occurred around this land and you think that was just erupting because of Floyd?  It was planned by the same evil people and the Devil; just like the Plandemic the Wuhan Corona Virus or COVID-19.  On a microcosm level personally, I’ve gotten to relate to some people online very personably and because I have a heart and care they took me for money, in one case even playing the role of a devout Catholic and being a shyster, conning people to pity and extend a helping hand with cash.  Another was a, Southern Born Again Denominational Church member.  I did help, with quite a lot, that I know most if not all of you would not have done, but, I got fooled and when I realized I was taken, it angered me, but, then I said let that person find their way, hopefully that person wakes up soon.  It’s like that with Jesus we can pretend and talk the talk, but, what are we really after? This person wanted money to do whatever and get it easy.  NO SHORT CUTS OR MALARKEY WILL DO WITH GOD!

To this other fine blogger with an exemplary article I had already typed some text in the blog reply window and was also writing or composing my text in other text pages to transfer.  I do this occasionally being in a hurry then not checking over and over to make sure it’s correct, especially when using multiple sources, and of course in my own blog I can edit and fix them; but, on someone else’s obviously I can’t.  See, here by example, regimentation and stronger checks and balances is needed in our faith too!  Being careless or flimsy and in a big hurry can throw us off our balance or maintaining the bench mark we need to maintain for the highest standard or in other words the strongest faith we can muster.  My Dad I must say again, was reminding us often saying that, “we need a routine and discipline without them we are going to surely run into more troubles than we should.”  How else can one stay on the straight and narrow when we live in a chaotic upside down mess?  A world of confusions and temptations abounding, so many conflicting humans, and especially now being manipulated by powerful evil people, and; this all from Satan.  We don’t get away with, “well that’s above my pay grade,” like the people I worked with that knew like I, that this boss was evil, and, that the crooked system was wrong to enable such people to have the upper-hand, but, they just went along to get along!  Like Hannah Arendt states in her writings about evil, “And so, the vast majority of evil done on Earth traces back to minds and wills that have been abandoned to fear and laid on the Altar of Obedience.”  Or the prophetic words by Edmund Burke “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing,” Corruption begets more corruption.  At least in our personal affairs of duty, responsibility and obligation we can strive to be disciplined and as accurate as possible, asking Jesus through the Holy Spirit to help us; please.  Thank you for this opportunity God, and, all of you out there.  Amen.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 10: 37-42

“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.

Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man’s reward.

And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple – amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”

I hope all of you out there can have the contrite, humble heart that is needed in order to allow God Almighty, by His Holy Spirit to take charge of your immortal soul and lead you to paths of righteousness, so that you will enter by the narrow gate into His eternal kingdom.  Amen.

God bless you all.

Feast of The Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
St. Josemaría Escrivá: Finding God in Daily Life
Posted on June 26, 2020 by Catholicism Pure & Simple
Today is the feastday of the founder of Opus Dei, whose full name is St Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer. He is the saint of everyday holiness and has been called “the saint of ordinary life” for his message that holiness and sainthood are attainable by all the faithful. St. Josemaría taught that such everyday holiness could allow countless people to meet God right where they were.

St Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer brought to humanity a precious gift by his living example expressing God’s will through him as an ordinary man but with an extraordinary soul which was in alignment and affixed to God’s Holy Spirit. This is what I’ve experienced myself when we allow God to speak to us in little things, where usually we are part of the clamor and background noise of this fallen world becoming caught up in the ways of the world, we lose sight of God’s presence in our personal lives; His gentle ever-present mystery of this world full of miracles that most people are unfortunately not seeing or hearing, and in essence “not seeing the forest for the trees,” running blind, as they get pulled into the vortex of deception and tumultuous conflict where all things tend to vie for their own survival only, even though all is vanity and futile without the life sustainer Jesus Christ, who is the only pathway to the door we must truly want to find and enter through into our eternal lives with God the Father. This is by no means an easy road to travel, but, the truth is it’s not an impossible journey, because, we always have the shining hope and true guidance of Jesus Christ who is the way the path and the life! Amen.

I’m leaving many links to blog essays I’ve written that I see do correlate here with this wonderful article and my hope is someone may be inspired a bit from what I wrote. God Bless You. Lawrence

FIFTEEN LESSONS FOR DAILY LIFE FROM ST. JOSEMARIA ESCRIVÁ:

1. Don’t compromise your principles

‘One must compromise.’ Compromise is a word found only in the vocabulary of those who have no will to fight — the lazy, the cunning, the cowardly — for they consider themselves defeated before they start. (The Way No. 54)

2. Don’t waste time

Don’t let your life be barren. Be useful. Make yourself felt. Shine forth with the torch of your faith and your love.

With your apostolic life, wipe…

“What no Al Sharpton in all of this by now?”
FBI Concludes No Hate Crime Took Place-Looks like it’s time for a huge pity party!

A lot of people are comparing this guy to Jussie Smollett…I actually think he’s WAY MORE arrogant and nasty https://t.co/pyp4yEunyM
— ✭ Wayne Dupree ✭ (@WayneDupreeShow) June 24, 2020

What no Al Sharpton in all of this by now? The guy who can lay claim to having made a fortune being the biggest mouthpiece, race baiting-race card playing expert, with the loudest mouth in the business; to whip this into more riots like he did for George Floyd? I’m dumbfounded, where are you Al, when the world needs more divisiveness, and wild crazy nights of burning, looting and rioting across America! Hey Bubba, what’s taking ya, can’t you get Jussie and big Al to join you for a major MSM junket to start blasting the world about how bad you have it and explain how there’s all this racial hate going down by whites all over the place? I’ll tell you this, I’m pretty fed up with the likes of the small minority of losers within the mostly sensible and hardworking Black community; but this smaller subgroup of malcontents who will never be happy think that they can still play the blame game for things that happened hundreds of years ago, as this old excuse that means nothing to us in the present as far as living our lives and accomplishing constructive things, rather than all the destruction and bellyaching that’s been transpiring the last several weeks! What kind of pitiful messed up people want to play these games and do so much injustice to others in the process with businesses and lives destroyed, and helping to cripple their hurting country!

“Women’s Beauty Sin or Curse?”

The great equalizer is “Conscience”

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” Romans 3:10

A nice lady who was blogging about a beautiful specimen of a woman who could be a seductress and indeed had gone through several hardships over her feminine beauty in dealing with men or even in a love/romance relationship always being eventually disappointed, hurt and damaged but going on to fight the next battle with determination and a stubbornness to prove herself right. The blogger thought of her as a brave warrior because she kept dusting herself off and going on to the next skirmish or battle in life mostly in dealing with men as they relate to her beauty and femininity.  She asked why does the world look at this woman with contempt and judge her some kind of failure when it was the men and world that failed her!

Ways of the World docu

This blogger was asking what was this other woman’s mistake?  I think seeing the woman as not doing anything wrong was this nice lady’s misconception, as she isn’t perfect, so she must make mistakes!  The blogger continues saying, how in every relationship she, that most radiant beauty, was the victim by men and the world, how she was the one who was used, betrayed, abused ultimately causing her great suffering both emotionally and mentally; yet, the patriarchal world or society looks upon her and addresses her as a sinner!  Of course when we look at this circumstance clearly we have to know that we are all sinners, the men, women and the society or, ways of the world by which men and women can live by, or not let that become their trap and vicious cycle of try and fail over and over.

I believe this blogger was seeing this woman too much as a two dimensional being and agreeing with her failures due to seeing it as a matter of depending on self only; not seeking the higher calling for her being alive to begin with. This limiting perspective will only fail each and every time anyone sets themselves against the world and thinks they will find a way to beat it and come out on top by sheer determination or just learning how to fight the world harder, while perhaps learning the ways of the world better and go along for the ride. That will always lead to doom; and here is why in my humble opinion.

There are lines we must not cross regardless of personal perspective or even upbringing, because God will judge all human beings by what is truly in their own heart! What fills that heart is the sum total of all one’s life experiences, but, the great equalizer is Conscience and every person has one excluding the exception of a sociopath or pure evil which does exist. One must learn through life to choose carefully what actions or behaviors they display or elicit from others for that can become a pathway to temptation and sin which are the ruin of humankind from the original fall from grace when Adam and Eve transgressed God, who is God, the Omnipotent always right in all matters, no exceptions.  So, that is who we should attune our hearts to nothing else, not worldly fashion or promise nor the allures of fame and fortune nothing will bring everlasting peace and happiness to any soul unless it is through God Almighty the Creator of the universe and we broke humans.  It starts with humility and people today lack it sorely putting themselves and some others up on high pedestals, which is complete folly and some stay on that path thinking they are god-like which is what pagan ancient civilizations produced in Greece, the Roman Empire or Mayan among many other empires, which even went as far as human sacrifice in their evil behavior.  So yes, there is benevolence and there is actual evil in the universe and mankind is plagued with the dilemma of this dichotomy, the choice is up to each person, but, all have the opportunity I believe to turn things around before they are doomed!  The pure example of this is when God came as one of us to say this will be the only way to redeem the fallen sinners, if I God suffer their punishments and transgressions out of my eternal love, but, all they have to do is appreciate and accept this gift from God showing in their heart of hearts by faith in Him, that they believe in Him and will do His will not their own; which even while God Jesus was dying for all our sins on a cross an illustration of this forgiveness was made.

Gospel of Jesus Christ docu.jpg

When Jesus was on the cross, there were two criminals beside Him.  One of the criminals hurled insults at Jesus.  But the other one said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”  Jesus answered him, “Verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with me in paradise.”  Luke 23:43 That criminal did a lot of bad things in his life. But, God showed him right then that there is hope and Jesus is it, the Savior who will judge and forgive those who humble themselves and have faith in Him.

Does the bible give the names of the two thieves on the cross next to Jesus?  According to Nicodemus, their names are Dismas and Gestas.  Gestas made fun of Jesus, while Dismas rebuked Gestas.

What this tells us is we are the instrument of our own destruction or salvation “through Jesus Christby making the simple decision to turn to Jesus and ask for forgiveness or reject Him and be banished for eternity! biblestudyresources.org

“Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, Vanity of vanities! All is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 1:2,

Romans 8:20 says that all creation was subjected to vanity because of God’s curse. When Adam sinned, God cursed all that He had made (Genesis 3:17–19).  In other words, perfection was lost.  All of creation is now falling short of its original purpose; rather than working in harmony with God and creation, inhabitants of the earth have turned on each other and against God.  We still reel from the effects of that curse.  Everything meant to be right side up is upside down.  The chaos and insanity of the world as we know it are due to the fact that God has subjected creation to vanity until the time when it will be set free (Romans 8:21).

At the root of all vanity is self, which demands to be protected at all costs.  Self cannot co-rule our lives along with the Holy Spirit. God will not share His throne. That’s why Jesus calls us to die to self in order to follow Him (Luke 9:23).  Vanity is an enemy of the Spirit and must be constantly brought to the cross and crucified (Galatians 2:20; Romans 6:1–6). gotquestions.org/Bible-vanity

Women’s Beauty Sin or Curse?  We’re all Sinners, seeking God’s guidance, His will through Jesus Christ is the only way to turn from all sins of this world.  Amen.

These Deaths Truly Shake Me to My Core

“hear that chorus of manipulated crowds of thugs”

Yesterday I was a mass of jumbled up conflicted emotion and deep pain in my heart.

I had two massive Freight Trains colliding in my soul because one blog I wrote pertaining to the George Floyd MSM Event with its accompanying riots, looting, violence and mayhem I knew from the start was an orchestrated manipulated event with its many players and actions.  Then when truth and fact finally arrived that the MSM blocked out in order to continue the AGENDA I only wanted to post it in a reblog to help get the word out and inform people which led to me and my blog being attacked and put down.  But, that is nothing that I won’t stand up to, I can eat that load of crap for breakfast seven days a week!  What crushed me and brought a more important harsh reality and truth to my own lap was another blog a doctor and blogger presented which tells us of five month old slumbering babies in the wombs being surgically removed alive so their little beating hearts can be removed without any anesthetic which is, excuse me, I have to stop I’m about to cry again and want to smack somebody simultaneously; these innocent lives are being VIOLATED in the most unbelievable way and there is no huge outpouring of sorrow and pity for them but for George Floyd a man with a tainted past and record who helped make matters much worse for himself and then many others is supposed to be getting all this pity?  I’m not going to accept this bullshit no way no how! Look at this country what happened with all this carnage and ruin for what? For Shit!  This is all hypocrisy and lies, nothing but a dirty trick to ruin and destroy!

Liberty shocked by riots docu

Then I got a text message from a kind soul who has personal reasons to be more upset than me for a number of reasons one of which she is a mother and wife and has much to worry about in this climate of wickedness!  Her truth and genuine heart said very little by words but in those few words the trumpets of truth were playing to my soul immediately and I wrote a long reply.  I’m putting much of that and a few other words along with it here to hopefully dampen the madness running rampant and hopeful if God willing do some good in bringing enlightenment to others.  I try my best is all I can do; so please believe me.

God bless you and your family in these most trying times for the true of heart, which you are.  I can’t fully deal with the reality of what other human beings have become and how mechanical or even nonchalant it appears most people have become; about how they can ignore the cries and even screams of innocence all around them while they can insist and even be willing to riot and break all rule of law or civility, because one group or another says they should; especially over this recent Floyd death!  The MSM and many organizations along with elected officials or leaders immediately made it a Black against Whites or a racist matter that deserved retribution and violence the likes of which this country hasn’t seen in many decades with an added animosity and hatred tied into this vile arrogant contempt for authority and obedience, especially toward Law Enforcement, the people who risk their lives to protect!  They these wild rioters and so called social revolt groups are all being played and deceived by the powerful liars and most corrupt of this world, who take their marching orders from the master of all lies.

Divide and conquer docu

Its sickens me how so much destruction and evil violence has been perpetrated across this country and beyond; rather than all of those who did these things coming together in peace and prayer to address the real underlying issues that we all face living in a volatile corrupted world full of sin beyond measure now.  I’ve found lately for people like me to see things as they truly are and then repeat or spell out what I see brings hostility, and even hatred that I should dare to be so outspoken and honest; and what then?  Not follow the herd or mob mentality!  I stand out when I don’t go along to get along!

Another popular blogger says in affect, she just wants to ignore things and not let it ruin her day!  Can you believe that selfish, arrogant, useless attitude that some people sell themselves and then try pushing off on others!  Her words were so sickening and alien to me and I’m sure they would be to Jesus if He were here now hearing them firsthand. That as she put it, being impervious to the sporadic whims of life, or just roll with it and be unbothered by things that would have usually sent me into negativity, or I guess what she meant give her a bad hair day!  With the amount of debauchery and destruction that had already taken place across this Nation lately and then to speak in such a cavalier selfish way shows me a person is totally bonkers or lost! 

Riots docu

Then, to top it off this same person was part of the public outcry about poor George Floyd and jumped in on the bandwagon and media hoopla to say how this was “so unjust and I hear you all out there rioting and wanting to kill cops she basically said when all of this rampant insanity was playing out in the streets.  But, now to where she only says, I won’t let things bother me, and so this matter of a five month old human being in a womb slumbering that is suddenly ripped out and while feeling and living with its little beating heart and then having that heart surgically removed without any anesthetic isn’t worth getting all stirred up about; I reckon.  But, this woman of the cyber world is saying I’m not going to let things muss up my hair!  What a Hideous person she is to be so phony and two-faced while innocence is screaming out, but she don’t want to hear it; only when it comes to racial injustice because Al Sharpton came out of the cracks in the floor saying “it’s us against them again,” like he did all of his life making it a media spectacle, and she could only hear that chorus of manipulated crowds of thugs saying poor Floyd!  No humility in this wench I can tell you that, and I wouldn’t trust her with anything, who knows what kind of demonic forces play with her heart and soul.  So many are that self-centered and vain today, and we actually see people doing this to unborn innocence.  Which reminds me of the ritualistic sacrifices of babies made by ancient pagan idolaters and those people back then were, and, these today are, all motivated to do these things by Satan; just like those in the riots were of late, I do believe!

These are atrocities being effectuated by the diabolical and some chick thinks she will just tune it out and that is fine, so, we should do the same! That would be the blind leading the blind and I’m not going to join that crowd.

Here were a few thoughts that came to mind immediately upon reading this attitude about self worship and ultimately not serving God, being displayed online that was all justified with, God loves me more than anything, so I can do and be fine with Him each day.  Apparently saying, I just have to worry about me and all those things out there, that’s not my problem!  But, only things that will boost my ego or favor with the world, then I’ll give some lip service, play the game; “the way of the world.”

Yes, Jesus Christ dies on the cross for our sins, but, that doesn’t mean we have a license to be phony hypocrites and enjoy the party while it lasts.  It’s up to each individual to produce a “genuine faith” full of humility and sorrow for what wrongs we have done; having a contrite heart full of love for Him which we show daily by being willing to pick up our own crosses and follow him, giving up the pleasures and vanities of this world, making our own ultimate sacrifice in order to be found truly worthy of forgiveness and eternal life, by not being lukewarm and a pretender, who gives plenty of lip service, but underneath all of that doesn’t do enough lifting of that cross that each of us has to carry until the day we drop.

Pslam 119 docu

God please help us we are in the worst of times on earth I believe, and we need you to return, dear Jesus. Amen.

After I wrote the above thoughts referring to the woman with an attitude that I shared here with this fine woman, I came upon the following verses of Scripture immediately.

“Those who love their own life will lose it; those who hate their own life in this world will keep it for life eternal.”

John 12:25

 

“For if you want to save your own life, you will lose it; but if you lose your life for me and for the gospel, you will save it.”

Mark 8:35

 

“For if you want to save your own life, you will lose it; but if you lose your life for my sake, you will find it.”

Matthew 16:25

First John 2:15-16 says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world.  If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.  For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.”
