Lathspell!! Stormcrow I Name Thee!!
Well, now I am thoroughly disenfranchised. Perhaps I always was and just did not know it. I have become a sojourner in a land I once called home.
God’s people have always been sojourners, even In the land where God called one tribe of people to live in. Indeed, the US is not my home if I do in fact belong to a particular tribe of God’s people. But the recent turn of events in the US has driven that home with the stark realization that rabid people have taken over the land.
I no longer can trust the press for the truth. Perhaps we never should have trusted them. But now I am ‘red pilled’, to use modern vernacular. My eyes have been opened. I should be wary of people who desire to lead me, whether they be the county commissioners or the President of the United States.
Though we have been given discernment over evils effects, we have not been given eyes to see the evil in men’s hearts. But when a class of people begin to call evil good, and good evil, you can know which spirit is walking the land. And it is indeed an evil spirit. An ill wind that blows. A bad omen to ponder. And no good can come of it.
If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.
And if it not be possible, what then? Either pick up the sword and be slaughtered, or meekly go to the slaughter. Not real pleasant options, are they …
The compound láðspel (literally, ‘evil tale’ or ‘evil news’) comes from Old English. It is in fact the almost exact opposite of the much more familiar Old English term gospel (which means ‘good news’).

The media has not been trustworthy to tell the truth for many years.
Last time I remember trusting what they told me was when Walter Cronkite was still around.

I am not so sure that even Walt was that pure, but I don’t think he carrried anybody’s water …

Very profoundly written Sir. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear know where this all is going. I also know where I put my trust so here I stand.
Just this morning I told my kids that now they can say they have seen true EVIL.

This won’t end well for those who choose Evil. Those who have perpetrated hate will eventually be held accountable for their actions. Sadly, there are those in my personal life who would rather support a side that goes against everything we were raised to believe just because they are filled with hate for a particular person. This goes far beyond respecting their right or my right to choose as we see fit. I may love them, but my heart hurts for them.
