You cannot invent, create or manufacture Truth. Truth is an immovable object. Regardless of the presentation of reality in Washington right now, the Truth is something very different. Somehow, I think that evil has overplayed its' hand and some evil people are running scared.
Come, quickly Lord, Jesus!
Pray! At all times Pray!
“and they conceded the body to Joseph.” (Mark 15:45)
About a week ago, this sentence fragment stood out to me. I thought, “No way, Lord! We should never concede our nation to Joseph!” But we did. Nevertheless, three days later, God raised Jesus from the dead. Might God have a similar intention for the USA?
Liked “These are times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.
Thomas Paine”
Here is an appropriate song for the day:

29 But the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left.
30 So the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 When Israel saw the great [m]power which the Lord had [n]used against the Egyptians, the people [o]feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in His servant Moses.
24 But at the morning watch, the Lord looked down on the [g]army of the Egyptians [h]through the pillar of fire and cloud, and brought the [i]army of the Egyptians into confusion. 25 He [j]caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians each said, “Let me flee from Israel, for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.” 27 So Moses reached out with his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing [k]right into it; then the Lord [l]overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; not even one of them remained.
19 Then the angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them. 20 So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud [d]along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Therefore the one did not approach the other all night.
21 Then Moses reached out with his hand over the sea; and the Lord [e]swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 So the sons of Israel [f]went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left. 23 Then the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea.
