I’m getting edgy. I don’t like it. Too much tension for far too long. It makes me irritated and impatient when I see deliberate deception played upon ignorance. My soul cringes at the immoral indifference of greed that propagates the poor. My heart, oh my heart, how it breaks that violence has been given a seat at the table of our Nation’s Buffet. My sequestered rage is stoked by the toll man collecting his coin, knowing full well the bridge is out. My moral indignation is hoarse from screaming What would Jesus do? at deaf Christian Haters. Let me not leave out the fear mongers who milk us like cows and sell our fear for profit. Then lay this all neatly in the bed of a killing nightmare. I am on edge. I do not like deep sighs that echo in my toes a sense of helplessness. LGR(C)8/23/20 |

The world is changing. So much of the deliberate deception going on...it's a very hard task to keep one's eyes open. Sucks the life out of me, truly. Friends being wolves, huh...I can relate to that. Michael |

Yes, the change is terrifying but it was all foretold and warned...Jesus has it all in His hands and knows ALL that is happening...His time will come and I pray it will be soon...I feel every word and pray for you and all that have to live in such a world as this...thank you for putting my feelings into words that mean so much |
