Psalm 62:9 NIV Measuring the meaningless This is what our society is. It’s something that’s become our national pastime, cultural highlight. Every single day anymore all we seem to do is agree to lose more of both our lives and ourselves unto this idea that tells that the best thing we can possibly be doing is debating with the goal of diving in the hope of destroying what is what was once someone seen as a neighbor, a friend, a family member, a coworker, a human no matter. But no, we see not life in those measures anymore as it seems that anyone is always able to be deemed an enemy of this state of our assumptions assuming that we’re right in whatever this is that we’re doing. And that despite the glaring reality that shows us daily that all we’re doing is both trusting in people and seeking to ignore if not annihilate the same. Thus proving in real time that one line which says that a house divided cannot stand. And indeed, we are falling apart in some pretty remarkable ways here ins...

Isaiah 2:22 NIV For where can the lost lead? And indeed, though we are millions who say it not so, the truth is that we’ve none of us any idea as to where to go. Don’t often know what to do. Generally assume that all in life and of itself is nothing we’ve ever to lose as rather we live as if life’s not even a gift but instead a dread of the dead who dared to do what few try to anymore. A few which in truth seem only to prove that the more you lose the more you learn of what life was always meant to be and that because to lay something down is to trust that it shall either be taken back up or was never needed anyway. But sadly this is not our way for in this life there comes no day in which we say that it’s okay to lay down what we’ve known of life and walk away unto the Way who came to save from what we’d became having chosen to trust in ourselves so long ago. So long in fact that it’s left us living so fast that it’s only inevitable that we get lost and there lose our lives or at leas...

Hosea 4:7 NIV The moral authority Such is what a priest should be, what a leader should have, what a people should want in whatever, whomever they determine to follow, to look to, to lean on to lead them toward whatever, wherever it is that they happen to hope to find hope waiting to be whatever it is that hope might come to become. But the problem’s become that neither have the leaders any morals but nor do the people even expect them to for morality is too something everyone else has chosen to lose due to its perceived limitations in regard to laziness, lasciviousness and other general loserdom. And in fact I personally feel no guilt in saying that we have become a people at least plausibly considered easily to be losers. For losers lose, and, well, looking around you just can’t help but tell that we’ve not only lost a lot but we’re daily losing more in what is this swim not for shore but rather into our remaining assured that whatever we’re doing is right to be done simply because w...

Ezekiel 7:26 NIV In real time Can’t speak for anyone else as I’m not anyone else but for me personally I grew up with this tendency to see the Bible as some really old book that was written a really long time ago by people who then lived a really long time ago in what was, in light of our culture having long proven one of continuous advancement and progress and innovation and such, probably really not all that much like us. I mean, how could they be? We have cars and stuff now! And so the Bible has always seemed something of a promised antiquation from a truly bygone civilization. And so to see it unfolding before our very eyes is something which, to me, proves it very much still alive as just as active as back when it was likely more acted upon. Something that itself seems to be growing in a daily clarity. For anymore all it seems that we seem to see is but this sea of a burgeoning insanity consuming all but all of humanity up until this point today in which we all have so much to say...
