Voice of the Introverts

It is hard to believe, we have been doing this for a whole year. We were determined to get through a year and we are almost at our goal. I guess our writing will live on somewhere in the vast nonsense of the internet. The thing is, we were determined to get through a year and it is almost there.

This morning I am sitting in my car, with my laptop actually on my lap, writing this article. There are home inspectors ravaging through our house in the transition of getting ready to move. It is an awkward balancing act; trying to think and balance this thing for an old guy is quite a sight. I have been displaced.

I have written in other articles about the narrow path. A path, that when you take your spiritual walk on, it can be very hard at times – just like the physical walk that Christ took while he was on this earth. Why can you not obtain Heaven by another path? Because this is the path that Christ took, and we can only get there by following in His footsteps. And where does the path start? It starts at the foot of the cross.

What are you looking for? Are you looking to become wealthy? Are you looking for popularity? Or are you just looking for your keys you lost? How are you coping with what is going on around you? Are you joining in? Are you leading the pack? Or, are you just coping?

How Can I Fear

by Ron Hamilton

When shadows fall and the night covers all 

There are things that my eyes cannot see.

I never fear, for the Savior is near.

My LORD abides with me!

I do not know whose side you are on in this war, but it looks like the battle is heating up. I hope and pray that you are on the side of right.

4“Take heed that no man deceive you.”

5“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”

We want everyone to be like us. Everyone. Apparently no exceptions. Everyone wants everyone to be alike, to think the same way, to believe the same beliefs. At least, that’s what it seems to be in today’s society. If you believe different that the social norm, then you are an outcast, deemed a fool.

Does that title sound harsh? Good. If you believe the idiocy traveling around today to change all pronouns to gender non-specific you need to be thumped in the head by my great uncle’s big thumbnail! Mind you, this drivel is being propitiated by so-called Christians. What does God say about this?

You have to admit, that as a society, we do not respect fathers the way we used to. Let’s look at the past by way of the media in the past 60 years. Take, for example, the sitcom “Leave It To Beaver” from the late 1950s, early 1960s. Ward Cleaver was taken seriously by his children. They respected his opinion and even asked his advice once in a while. Fast forward to any show on the Disney Channel. Dad is a joke. Kids make fun of him constantly.  He is a doofus klutzy moron that cannot do anything right. Don’t look at me, you let your kids watch this as harmless entertainment. Think about it – it is not really harmless, is it? Disney, and other kids’ entertainment venues are telling your kids what to think and how to think it. I could go on with so many more subjects that these conglomerates are filling your kids’ minds with, but for now, let’s just stick to the subject of Dads.

I watched a video called, “All Dads are Heroes,” and in the video there were a bunch of dads doing lifesaving things for their kids. I was thinking, “wow, these guys are amazing”. Then I looked at the comments, and it saddened me. Some of the comments were positive, but most were bashing dads and men in general. Even the positive comments were saying that they wouldn’t call these dads heroes, but just some great dads.
