Even an elf knows, you have to believe before you can see.

I’ve been grappling with understanding why this global pandemic is dividing people and not uniting us. This past week several states made the decision to allow certain businesses to re-open. Colorado, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alaska, Texas and the one that has drawn the most ire, Georgia. According to Dr. Scott Atlas professor of radiology and chief of neuroradiology at the Stanford University Medical Center, the facts (The Data Is In) support re-opening. Yet, taxpayers in New York and California are calling the aforementioned state Governor ‘idiot’….and the people who support the initiatives, ‘sheep’. In other words, not everyone sees the data and facts the same.

Properly researched and studied statistical data is used to make models and algorithms that help us understand and control the visible and invisible. We use these models to predict an outcome and mitigate risk in business, government and our personal lives. This process is essential to science (COVID-19), economics (monetary theories) and day to day life (logistics, traffic patterns in a restaurant, building a hospital, red lights at an intersection). C19 is proving confirmation bias is more critical than accurate information.

So, why all the division even when data supports an action? The current pandemic is proving that believing comes before seeing. If you don’t believe 45, then you don’t believe anything that supports his words or actions. If you believe the Georgia Governor is a Republican stooge playing politics, then you don’t believe he is making the right decisions. Oh wait, but Trump doesn’t support what Kemp is doing. It’s not about facts and data, it’s about what and who you choose to believe.

Smart minds have lost touch with critical thinking and are being led by their bias and belief systems. Confirmation bias is the most prolific virus….THIS is the real pandemic.

I don’t need to see gravity to believe in it. Like gravity, belief requires faith in things you can’t always see. ‘Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.’ Hebrews 11:1. What and how you see everything reflects your faith and what you believe in. Our core beliefs in what is visible and invisible are the reasons for all division in the world today. Division is separating family and friends. ‘Agree to disagree’ will only stay civil for so long.

Faith is at the core of what you believe and therefore what you see. ‘By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.’ Hebrews 11:3. If you believe the Bible, it shapes what you believe about creation and evolution. It requires faith to believe everything in the Bible and not pick and choose what fits our lifestyle and the choices we make.  Pro-life or Pro-Choice? ‘ “Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for the least of these, you did not do for me.” Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” ‘Matthew 25:45-46.

I’m not a judge and I don’t claim to be the righteous one. I do believe that Christ died for me and I claim His promise that believing in Him saves a schmuck like me. I also believe Him when he said “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” ‘ I know that seeing what is visible and invisible requires light…and the only way to see the invisible is with the light of Jesus. Therefore, the root of everything we are seeing today has it’s origin in spiritual matters. My confirmation bias is towards the Bible.

Why am I making politics, C19 and all division about faith and belief in Jesus? Because, ‘He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.’ Colossians 1:15-16. And the next verse…’He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.’ Colossians 1:17. It’s always been all about Him. In turn, the battle against unity and holding everything together is a battle against Him.

Diversity of thought is good but when it divides it’s hard to see the benefit. Seeing things differently in business is an advantage and a strength. Because if all you see is what you see, then you’ll never see all there is to see. In life, we must see the invisible as well as the visible. Seeing what is unseen takes faith. Seeing the invisible takes faith and it can change your viewpoint and your life.

The Bible tells a story about a man from Egypt whose life was changed when his sight changed. Moses’ mindset originated in privilege with an ideology representing the home he was raised in and the career path he was on. In short, when he learned that all he had previously seen was not all there was to see, his life drastically changed. He then chose to endure hardship, ridicule and disgrace. ‘By faith…he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.’ Hebrews 11:27.

For the sake of our world and our country we all need to better see that which is seen and unseen…and this requires more faith in God. Where we place our faith will determine whether or not we remain a UNITED States of America or if the strength of our Union falls apart. Not a politician or a perspective or a policy…or an expert or data or a study. This means a two way street of abiding no hatred of MY beliefs as well as your own, regardless of how polarizing our beliefs may be.

What you believe will shape what you see and how you see it.

If you only believe what you can see then what you believe isn’t all there is to see.

The fear, facts, disinformation, masks, gloves, concerns and hype surrounding COVID-19 all center on the fear of death and dying. Although death has been around a long time and it happens to everyone, people are still scared and confused by it.

God explained death to Adam in the second chapter of Genesis…’And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” ‘ Genesis 2:16-17. Right after this warning, Adam ate the fruit from the tree and died.

After Adam ate the fruit and died he had a son when he was 130 years old. Adam and Eve had many more sons and daughters and Adam was put in the grave at the ripe age of 930 (Genesis 5:5). The first man God created was a dead man walking and breathing for at least 800 years after he ‘died’.

Obviously, death involves more than being put in the ground when you stop breathing. Spreading fear and disinformation about death is one of Satan’s oldest tricks to steal our God-given freedoms. ‘”You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman’. Genesis 3:4. Fear of COVID-19 is the latest chapter.

The fear and loathing with COVID-19 is more about taking power and making changes than actually dying. The number of deaths from Type-A flu, cancer, alcohol and smoking during the same time period we have shut down the world for a small virus, are multiples of the number of deaths from COVID-19. Not to mention the number of unborn children that have been killed all while the world is fixating on a new strain of the flu. Satan uses death and the fear of death as a distraction and a grab for power; same as it ever was.

The world changed drastically after Satan fooled Adam and Eve into choosing death over life. The new Covid World Order will usher in drastic changes as well. The complications from social isolation and economic hardship will manifest in more suicides (Suicide Calls Rise) and divorce.  5G will advance more rapidly since current systems are overloaded. Universal Basic Income (Steady Income Without Working ) and digital currencies will appear in Europe sooner than you think. These changes will effect how you live by killing your God given freedoms.

The concern and fear of COVID-19 is the fear of death not the disease. The symptoms of death include a lack of pulse, no breathing or any sign of life. Let’s look at the symptoms of why the world has shut down today.

The mortality rate for COVID-19 fluctuates somewhere between 1-2% of the people who test positive. We don’t know they die from the disease but we DO know they die with the disease (99% Who Died in Italy Had Other Illness)…among other issues. Are we overestimating fatality rates and when the curve will flatten (Should Fear Be In The Rear View Mirror). The facts will emerge with time, but watch how quickly world powers and principalities try to make changes. The agendas have been set for years (Winds Of Monetary Change With Currencies)  and waiting for the right distraction. I think COVID-19 is the distraction.

My point is simple and straightforward…God told us the absolute truth about death from the get-go. We die as a result of sinning against God not from a virus or a cancer. Paul wrote, ‘ Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned- ‘ Romans 5:12. When you understand your last breath doesn’t define death, you don’t need to fear your last breath. But, the COVID World Order is whipping up a mean dose of fear right now.

God spelled it out so we don’t have to fixate on when we die but how we live. ‘Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty if our strength endures;’ Psalm 90:10. With that knowledge, are the fears and concerns of dying from COVID-19 YOURS or are we being fooled by the media and other experts with their own agenda? Just like the original lie Satan planted about death, the result effects LIFE, not when you die.

The threat of death is not new. Neither is the idea of living without the fear of dying. In 1948 the new Atomic World Order was inciting fear (C.S. Lewis on Coronovirus ) Covid fear is being used to take away individual and economic freedoms that won’t be given back when the crisis has passed. Peter addressed the end of such freedoms when he said, ‘The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.’ 1 Peter 4:7-8.

The end of ALL things is near…the end of freedoms, jobs, relationships, economic systems, currencies, financial systems and life. This verse reminds me that while it’s all coming to an end, I need to love deeply…Deeply love those who are throwing shade on me for not being scared of this virus (Doctor Says Don’t Be Scared ). Deeply love those who stay 6 feet away and those I can’t even see because of social distancing. Deeply love those who are calling the Christian faith a crutch to lean on when a pandemic is ‘ravaging’ the world.

Once sin entered the world we became dead men walking. The work of Satan was to steal and take away Adam and Eve’s freedom in the Garden of Eden. The same battle is taking place in 2020. ‘The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.’ 1 John 3:8. Jesus gave His life so that we didn’t need to fear death…….Fear God, not death; or a virus. It IS that simple folks.

‘Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” ‘ John 11:25-26. Are you living through COVID-19 like you believe this?

‘Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.’ Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.

We are all dead men walking……..We need to face the fears of COVID-19 and our fears of dying….and get back to living. If you have trusted Christ with your eternity, live like you know you are dying….convert retreating into advancing towards eternity and a better world.

 

 

I confess to enjoy binge watching shows on television. Some of the most popular shows involve kings and kingdoms, death and disease, deception and deceit, struggles and suffering. Think, Game of Thrones, Big Little Lies, Outlander and Ozark. My latest binge watching has been the show, Covid-19. It’s great because I get it on every network. No subscription needed, it’s on 24-7 and it’s free; well, kinda.

I can’t remember which recent episode of Covid-19 included one of the characters referencing Benjamin Franklin’s infamous quote, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”.  The episode questioned whether liberty and security can exist in some kind of balance with one another. By the way personal freedoms have disappeared in the name of safety, you know it’s a popular episode to watch.

The ‘Liberty-Safety” episode reminded me of when God liberated the Israelites from Egypt…another great show to binge on in the book of Exodus. That show had plagues, pestilence, death and a crazy plot with a surprise ending (wander for years on a journey that should take weeks). The Israelites were given their liberty by God but they soon looked to another source for security.

Security and liberty are original gifts tied together with God, from God. Since He bundled the package in the Garden Of Eden, competition to provide the same has been fierce. Covid-19 is just the latest show involving an old story line.

Essential in any binge-worthy show, the earliest episodes of Covid-19 featured fear, loathing and a disparate impact on everyone. Some characters were easily panicked and fearful of the virus. Others assumed their positions and possessions would provide a buffer against the virus. But we know from history, lasting safety and security only come from One place…’But you have now rejected your God, who saves you out of all disasters and calamities. And you have said, “No, appoint a king over us”…’ 1 Samuel 10:19.

In Covid-19, civilization is demanding answers from the kings in government, health agencies, economics and finance. ‘Successful’ investors are weighing in (Hell Is Coming), the CDC, FEMA and ‘experts’ from all areas want to be heard. Covid-19 has leaders across the globe jockeying for position. Some are looking for credit in solving the calamity, others are looking to place blame for the disaster.

The Fed, G-7, Democrats and Republicans, the European Central Bank and you name it. The list of usual suspects are trying to balance liberty and safety in a prescription so the world can ‘move on’. Meanwhile the true King has never left His throne. ‘But God drags away the mighty by his power; though they become established, they have no assurance of life. He may let them rest in a feeling of security, but his eyes are on their ways.’ Job 24 22-23. God has been binging on our ways since He created this show.

During the current episode, churches and Christ-followers have run to one of God’s ‘go to’ promises. ‘ “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain…or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.  ” ‘ 2 Chronicles 7:13-14. Sounds like a vaccine isn’t needed, but stay tuned…it’s coming.

2nd Chronicles is a great promise but full of conditions… for Christians. Not everyone is a Christian and Americans live in a republic ( Republic not Democracy ) with a separation of church and state. Mankind has chosen to be represented by governments which are kings, in the old vernacular. There will be no healing by divine intervention without serious action by Christians. Those actions include real humbling, earnestly praying and desperately seeking Him. Oh, yeh…and a change of ways.

The change of ways God is talking about include more than a daily quiet time, fasting from lunch and corporately praying once a week. These changes were called for 2000 years ago when Peter reminded us, ‘For it is time for judgement to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?’ 1 Peter 4:17. I think it looks like the Covid-19 show I’ve been binging on the last month.

Even when the current season of Covid-19 ends there is still more to come for fans. So far, the show is popular around the globe. I can’t remember where I read the next season will feature a vaccine. I wonder if the vaccine will be available globally for free. Some spoiler sites believe the vaccine may even be legislated as mandatory to save the world from suffering. I’m telling you, this show has all kinds of story and character development.

A guy named Peter has a site I’ve read where he believes the small group of Christ-followers in this story will be persecuted and endure all kinds of suffering because they have the vaccine. He writes, ‘…do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice…However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.’ 1 Peter 4:12-16 ( Peter’s Site ) Suffering is a major theme in this show, so buckle up.

I don’t think the show is over after the next season, but who knows. Jesus is the main character in the show to keep an eye on. Christ is such a big star you know He will be around even when the show ends. The writer of Hebrews gives us a sneak peak on how to prepare for when the end does come. ‘Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.’ Hebrews 12:3.

Covid-19 is best watched with spiritual eyes and ears. This story has been around for-ever and has it’s origins and answers in the Word of God. Don’t let the drama distract you from the plot of God in this current reproduction.

Stay tuned because this show is just getting good. But don’t just binge watch, join the cast. Speak up and voice your thoughts on the plot and the characters and the cure. Use this site to comment if you want.

“Just keep shakin’ that bush so we know you’re there. Just keep shakin’ that bush”. Shakin the bush ( Shakin it here boss ) was the distraction Paul Newman used in the movie, Cool Hand Luke. Newman’s character used a distraction to help him escape from prison. A distraction is a diversion that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else. Have you noticed an avalanche of distractions the past few weeks?

Sun Tzu was a Chinese military strategist, Taoist philosopher, and general in the 6th century BC who is widely recognized for his work The Art of War, a treatise on military strategy. Sun Tzu taught that all warfare is based on deception. He believed the secret in winning a war was to confuse the enemy. When the enemy is distracted and confused they aren’t able to understand the real intent behind what is happening. Can you relate?

2000 years ago during the middle of the day, history records a series of events that were distracting as well. ‘From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land.’ Matthew 27:45. ‘…the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.’ Matthew 27:51-53. Something happened but not everyone would understand and learn about it until later.

The headlines in 33 AD would have read about an eclipse, an earthquake, a holy place being vandalized and numerous reports of zombies walking around the city. These were natural phenomena and miraculous happenings regardless of how you try to explain it away. Today is different.

In 2020 we see the steepest drop in the history of the stock market…the fear of Covid-19…travel restrictions near and abroad…entire countries being closed…social distancing  resulting in bans on gathering and seclusion. These are man made happenings and distractions. This may be a ‘Pearl Harbor’ moment and the result of something we don’t know about or haven’t seen, yet. We do know there is a lot of deception about the truth behind the statistics and headlines.

Whenever you have chaos and crisis there is opportunity. Chaos can be defined as unpredictable behavior, disorder and confusion. You may not relate to the word chaos, but it’s not a stretch to see the struggle, disorder and confusion in the world. The Word I use to try and understand the headlines teaches ‘..our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.’ Ephesians 6:12.

Rulers, authorities and powers in this world claim to be acting altruistically to save lives. The results look more like economic death, restriction of freedoms and control of lives. In comparison, ‘God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’ John 3:16. The Kingdom of Heaven gives life. The kingdom of this world is promoting fear, relational and economic death.

Deceit is when the facts are misrepresented and concealed. The World Health Organization (WHO) had a $500 million financial motive behind declaring COVID-19 a global pandemic (Deception Pays). The impeachment aftermath proved lies and deception were the foundation of the case to impeach the President (Impeachment Collapses For Lack of Foundation) We do live in a world at war against many foes. All war is based on deception and the real enemy often stays behind the curtain.

Douglas MacArthur was possibly ‘America’s greatest soldier’ and one of only 5 five-star generals in history. MacArthur preached ‘in war there is no substitute for victory.’ Yet, the greatest military leaders in history never believed the ends justify the means to achieve victory. Those who believe in doing whatever it takes tend to be socialists, communists and politicians with ulterior motives.

There are some willing to do and say whatever it takes to win the war against Covid-19, regardless of the consequences. According to mortality rates, more people have died from heart disease and cancer in the same time period we have been fighting Covid-19 ( Mortality Rate is 3.4% ). Why is there not a similar jihad against a greater known killer? Is coronavirus a greater threat or a greater distraction? I’m not sure.

Jesus tries to keep us focused by describing the real enemy as a thief. ‘The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.’ John 10:10. The actions made in the war against Covid-19 are stealing individual freedoms, killing businesses that support families and destroying jobs and national economies. The resulting fear and loathing people have today is real. The collateral damage in this war will leave scars and lasting changes. This is definitely a life-or-death fight to the finish…but a fight for what?

‘ “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more…fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.” ‘ Luke 12:4-5. The deception is that your way of life and economic security depends on governments and political leaders instead of God. Watch who is ‘shakin the bush’ to discern their underlying motives. The battle is for your mind.

In a time of war, the role of deception for the strategist is to show something the enemy wishes to see and believe, but to do it in a way that creates a false impression, thus deceiving himself. There are many good people with good intentions and good hearts. There are also many pretending to be righteous. Remember, ‘…Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.’ 2 Cor. 11:14-15.

The bush is definitely being shaken to deceive and confuse. ‘Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith…’ 1 Peter 5:8-9. KNOW where and with whom you have faith. Don’t put your faith in anything or anyone before or instead of the One who created it all.

The truth is ‘There will be terrible times in the last days. people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive…without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self control…Have nothing to do with such people.’ 2nd Timothy 3:1-5.

Shakin it here, boss. Shakin it.

 

 

 

 

My senior year in High School, I won two state awards from the Henry Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia. One award was for Best News Story and the other for Best Feature Story of the Year for High School Newspapers. I learned it was not the words I used but the underlying story I revealed that brought me the recognition.  Words can impact but most importantly, they reveal. When it comes to words, I am definitely pro-choice.

The right words can bring recognition. Words can close a business deal, create a friendship or make a girl give you a second look. The wrong words, well, ask Chuck Schumer last week…or Biden or Trump at any given time. Between Twitter, Facebook, fake media, 24-7 talk radio and news casts we are drowning in words. James, the half brother of Jesus, had the best advice ever. He said, “..Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” James 1:19.

Words carry weight and are powerful. Words are the fruit of the seed they represent. The God of Creation can create ex nihilo (out of nothing) and He chose to ‘speak’ the world into existence. ‘And God said. “Let there be light,” and there was light…’ Genesis 1:3. He chose four words. Enough said.

Along with power comes responsibility. The Bible teaches us the size of an object doesn’t determine it’s power. Power can be used for good or for evil. A bit in the mouth of a horse, a rudder on a ship, a spark to start to flame…and our tongue. “The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.” James 3:6. Interesting how James emphasizes more of the destruction that is done with the words we choose than the good.

Every blogger, poster and politician should be reminded it’s not the quantity of words you use, it’s the quality. Once a word is spoken it can’t be taken back. Words are a reminder that you can’t always win, but you can always lose. Jesus put it bluntly, “…For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgement for every empty word they have spoken” Matthew 12:34-26. Choose your words wisely.

I learned early in life my ability to use words was one of my greatest strengths. It took me a LOT longer to realize it was also one of my greatest weaknesses. I’m still learning an economy of words is the best economy to have. I hear words of arrogance and anger from leaders in Washington. I see words of division from people I know and love on Facebook.  I wonder if anyone else sees their choice of words as a weakness to control.

In this age where internet searches reveal enough data, sound bites and studies to choke a horse, people aren’t using their own words as much as they used to. The internet allows you to search and find someone else’s words to use in place of your own. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search, find, interpret and favor information in a way that confirms and strengthens your personal beliefs. But, the internet and confirmation bias are destroying original thought and critical thinking.

So, if people are choosing to express themselves with less original words and using other sources for their words, what and who are we hearing expressed? Peter reminded Christ followers, “The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray…If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God…” 1 Peter 4:7-11. Peter’s advice would be to choose the Word of God for all confirmation bias. Ask God what to say before you speak and then speak boldly.

The ‘hate speech’ movement and ‘safe zones’ sound well-intentioned, but are veiled attempts to replace original thought, stifle free speech and steal the words we can use. Our children are being taught to fear using words because they may offend someone. If you ingrain this behavior at a young age, when they get older and more people listen to them the behavior will likely remain. The result is the same. Less original speech and more mimicked words from an approved source. Originating where? Approved by whom? Make a choice.

Free speech may sound like an amendment or an ideology, but it goes deeper. If our words are God’s Word, the battle becomes more clear. If what we say reveals HE is our source, the source is under attack. The attack doesn’t come from the left or the right, it comes from an enemy that was cast out of heaven before time began. The people leading the attack are merely representatives of the source. We are responsible for making sure our words come from the source we truly represent. Choose your source.

So, where do we go from here? The Bible reminds us, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs (my emphasis), that it may benefit those who listen.” Ephesians 4:29. There is a difference between using words for someone else’s needs other than your own. Too often we hear words being used to promote an agenda and for personal gain. I choose God’s agenda.

Instead of tearing down a Supreme Court Justice or potential rulings, why not build up the Constitution and the judicial branch. Build up your candidate without tearing down someone else’s. Is it worth saying you have a right to choose if it destroys someone else’s need and right to life? These words have been stolen by the world and reveal the battle is between life and death, powers and principalities. Choose a side.

I am pro-choice when it comes to choosing words. Words are powerful. Words build up and they tear down, they unite and divide. Words start things and end things. Words reveal and words cover up. We must choose what we say wisely. When we speak from the heart we need to ask who and what is directing our heart.

God is pro-choice with free will and the words you can use, but…everyone who calls themselves a Christian must remember, “For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:37.  I’ve run my mouth enough over the years to plead guilty and know I need a savior. Thank you, Jesus. I also need to remind others that I’m sorry for any things I’ve said that were hurtful and harmful. I choose to admit I’ve been wrong more times than I care to know.

The day is coming when we will all be held accountable for the choices we have made regarding what we say and do. The last words in the last chapter of the book in the Bible are in red…and they are a mic drop.

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.” Revelation 22 12.
