devices

Satan has for a long time waited for this moment in time when a such thing evil as devices arise. They take children and separate from their parents just as man turned away from God in self-absorption.  No longer do they play or pretend but they stay true to imitating parents who forever tap on bright boards.

So then, in our cleverness to connect everthing, we connect every mind letting no secret remain and no embarrassment sealed.  The sin of false witness through fake news and slander prevails.  True repentance is no longer through God's Son but through appeal to the likes of the hordes that condemned Him.

Oh I hope for his return one day when finally Good triumphs.  Then those not tweeting or chatting or posting on fb will truly have their eyes on the sky.  Their phones, now useless, in the gutter.  Others (we pray not) will, as they sensationallize their final post that faithful day.

Indeed, with this very typing we are drawn into it, but resent it still.  Good will win in the end.  But as was foretold The winter must preceed the spring. 

A glimmer of hope remains with the children we teach that true love comes from Him.  And prudent use is wise of such devices that are Satan's 'One Ring' to control them all.  That their hearts not be lead to self-condemn by the words of others but to know the true Judge looking down is a  merciful source of true everlasting love.

amen.

that school shooting again

Every time this happens it is sad.  The knee-jerk is to mess with 2nd Amendment.  The under-reported is how many lives are saved and how our freedom from tyranny is upheld by its promises. 

Think about this, for all its attention it is incredibly rare.  This kind of discussion seems cold.  However, consider all the resources and laws going into this now one would think this kind of event an epiphany to nation.

Consider a small population has a school shooting and in a year there is another one.  As a side note, in the blighted urban schools this actually happens in some form but is not newsworthy.  In this case giving the relatively small sample of the population, it should merit action. 

Now, spread this yearly frequency across an ever growing population that includes 'Mayberry' rural, suburbs, and metropolitan areas.  You get to the point where a school shooting becomes almost guaranteed statistically.  In fact, thinking philosophically, an infinite population would have this event happening all the time.  Somewhere it will happen, but the news fools the simple mind into thinking its pervasive.

Given that its rare, should every child now be required to purchase body armor?  Should we spend more on security that covers every possibility.  This is looking to government to solve every ill.  Yet our forefathers feared government in favor of natural law -- the God given natural right to protect oneselve.  

We must make more probable that the good citizen with the legally obtained weapon has it when that time comes.  That could be the principal, or a well trained teacher in this case.  Or just someone who happens by.  

With children at stake, we cannot use arguments like the schools' weapons being used against itself or law enforcement taking down the good guy as an excuse.  While possible, it is more probable to work out better than a school of sitting ducks.  

Indeed the very knowledge that the school has a weapon would bring second thoughts.   This latest shooting, now playing the system to stay alive, would have considered the same before his crime.

Sadly, the left will win this argument one day.  Soon after tyranny in many forms will arise from our own government to thugs trampling the good.  The irony will be more travesties than even this!
