Innocence Lost.

 


Sometimes I find the world I live in today to be just too much, and I listen to music from my youth to take me back there. To try to remember what it was like to be so carefree. So invulnerable, so innocent, and so blissfully ignorant. 


So much has happened. So, so much. And it continues to happen, almost on a daily basis. That is, if you're watching. We can't go back. We can just never go back. Our innocence is lost. Trampled underfoot, forgotten... Gone forever, replaced only by a stoic cynism about everything under the sun. 


We've had our Pearl Harbor AND Kennedy Assassination. And more. We've experienced more world events than the people that lived in those times could ever imagine. The people that lived their day to day in those eras couldn't even begin to comprehend the total dissolvement of faith in any form of government we live. They thought, "Don't ask what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country". We instead think, "What's our country going to do to us next!?" We're worlds apart from our grandparents. I just shake my head in dismay at the comparison. 


The number of scandals we have watched; we've just lost count. Nobody ever is held accountable. They appoint their own cronies to "investigate" them. Nobody goes to prison. No court restitution order is ever made to anyone. If they're not ever even found guilty in a court of law how can we ever expect them to make good on their moral responsibilities? 


The HIGH Court, however, IS watching and taking note and keeping record, presided over by He Who Never Sleeps. In these crushingly depressing times, that is the only thing that gives me any comfort at all. They are marching toward their Judgement, and, as evil and premeditative as they are, I can't help feeling a twinge of sorrow for them. Well, more pity than anything, for the ultimate fools they are, and the eternal toll there will be to pay that can't ever be paid.


Cherish truth. Whoever it comes from. Wherever it comes from. Revere it and hold it close to your heart. Don't let evil people getting away with constant lies tempt you to let your Honour and Integrity slide for temporary gain. Remember Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?


Those are terrifying words, friends. Make sure you never wind up on the receiving end of them. Thirty pieces of silver is not worth your eternal soul. That knowledge is wisdom's warmth seeping into your spirit. Kindle those embers with more of like brilliance and make your holy fire burn bright.


I grieve for our collective loss of innocence. Sometimes even ahead of time as I wonder what is coming next that might take us by surprise even though we think we're past being caught off guard. I just hate being blindsided and made a fool out of yet again for not being able to stop the hamster's wheel or cut the puppeteer's strings. 


I look forward to a world reigned over by the King of kings and Lord of lords. A kingdom that has no end. A Court that never fails to bring Justice. And a rule with a rod of iron. 


Those days are coming, friends. We just have to hold on; hold on. Cling to all that is holy and good. This world holds nothing for us. We are only sojourners in this land. It is not our home. Remember that. Look up, for your Redemption draws nigh.

Save the SS United States!

When the fastest ocean liner the world has ever known is about to be decapitated and sunk something needs to be done! Think about it: The entire goal of an ocean liner was to cross the Atlantic (or to a lesser degree, the Pacific) in the shortest time possible. Luxury was a secondary matter. Notice how so many stories of ocean liner travel involved business magnates, politicians, or famous actors or authors. Ocean liners were the only vehicle of international businessmen. As there was no wireless communication at first, they could not conduct or manage important business while at sea, so getting them to and from land masses as fast as possible was of critical importance. Those businessmen built nations and industries. Besides that, being at the mercy of the sea was no picnic. The sooner it was over the better. That went for wealthy businessmen and poor immigrants looking for a better life abroad alike. Greater and greater vessels of higher and higher endurance and speed were built by a...

Tim Tabbert

  Some people really leave a mark on you. I mean an indelible mark. And, their absence leaves a hole nothing and nobody else can fill. Tim Tabbert was for sure that kind of person.   It's well over two years ago since Tim passed into the Lord's everloving arms. I think about him a lot because we spent so much time together. He was truly one of a kind. Nowhere near perfect, but who among us is? There's a definite spirit to being a Queen's Liner. Membership has its benefits. It's an Exclusive Club, and it has Prestige, and nobody's getting in. They can want in, but they're not getting in. You can only get in by birth, marriage, or moving there and living there at least ten years. And before anyone brings it up, you're right: I no longer live on the Queen's Line, but I personally ratified the rules to effect Lifelong Status for members like myself and Cory McClure and the MacKay boys. Tim Tabbert was for sure a Queens Liner. As a matter of fact he was p...

The Ice Cream Man of Deception

Image
  These days deception takes so many routes and arrives in so many varieties it is just bewildering. Everywhere you turn, there is an ice cream man of deception with exactly the mouth-watering flavour you couldn't possibly resist right in his outstretched hand. He can intimately and intuitively sense your weakness. That is the most sinister part. Through constant monitoring of practically your every spoken or texted word, he knows you better than you know yourself, so he will bring forth that irresistible combination of flavours and textures and colours that he knows you will not only fall for, but jump at. Don't feel bad, though; he's been at this for a long time, and he has a well-trained army in lockstep with him. That Q-Anon stuff is just a prime example. Consider that, as of September 20, 2024, it's been over 244 weeks since Jan 6 2020. There are stories of planes 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑙𝑦 flying in and out of Guantanamo Bay with political prisoners. If they got rid of ...
