I never understood a scripture until we were all saddled with you,
Grey. The one about satan before the throne of god accusing the brethren night and day.
And in a way I feel like James. We must fight any feelings of vaguest pride or sense of anything, and I know James has less than zero in that aspect, but there is a great line in Jeremiah Johnson which, what? A little bird? A voice in the wind? My imagination...
who knows, but I was reminded of the line in Jeremiah Johnson where the old mountain man was speaking to him about the unendling line of Crow taking vengence upon him for something he had not been at fault in in the first place--crossing the burial ground because it was absolutely the only road to take--and the line, "The greatness of a man is measured by the number of his enemies." In that, of course, they were talking Indian talk. But I'm sure everyone above an IQ of 65 understood the meaning implicitly. Great line for a great, great movie. Lots of lessons in that movie. The comparison between then and now is also enough to chill the blood cold in the veins. But then you love it Grey. You love the great melting pot that brings all of the theft, murder, porn, prostitution, filth, addictions, and a generation of kids on the faces in the gutter. You probably just love watching it all. It finally and completely rips away all fabric of that "sickening" early Christian America history so romanticized over, doesn't it? All that goody-goody Little House on the Prairie stuff.
How you must love every new evil statistic being broken.
Just hope God's wrath doesn't end up washing or blasting you and YOUR house away in the fury of a nation gone satanic, as apparently even the four elements are now voicing their utter digust in chaotic rage. But then the devil's name was early on "Chaos". How fitting.
So, bring on more jeering pagans. It is inevitable anyway, since daily the army grows around us except here in my nice little town. But it's on the list. don't worry. People like you will surround them soon. I plan to be pushing further into the brush by then. |
