Hang in there u/Falling_ferret.
I was listening to BardsFM's excellent podcast this morning, he shared a vivid reminder of the dark days of February 1778, where Washington had lost a good 1/6 of his 12,000 men to sickness. Insufficient food and supplies, living on hard-tack I did not know it was just water and flour dried into a disk. Here's the episode if interested.
And to view our battle today as in that winter. Having nothing. Overwhelming enemy. Nothing working. And then he (Scott Kesterson, host of BardsFM) shared a first-hand account of a person who saw Washington praying. Turning to God when there was no other resource.
We are now in the depths of that lonely information war indeed. I am also in a heavily Blue state, in the DC suburbs, and all around me it is 'business as usual' but I know in my heart-of-hearts it is not. I am admittedly no longer a super-devout, praying evangelical (although was one for many years), for a true Great Awakening to appear, there's got to be a lot of pain.
For everyone to feel.
I also just finished Lin Wood, speaking over on Rumble (that I hardly knew of at the beginning of November) on a channel I never heard of (the 'Patriotically Correct Radio Show'). Here's the link if interested. He is such an honest person, who truly has paid a high price for telling the truth, and keeps the faith (and encourages others to do so) as we count on a higher power, God, to come through.
You bet.
Talking about this with brother-in-law this afternoon, he used to be an insurance auditor when he was working (now retired), and we both agreed the good-versus-evil, especially with Evil giving up Power, is going to take some miraculous, super-natural activity.
Every night since oh about September I've been reading to the boys (11 and 13) one chapter of the New Testament, we take turns reading, and it's fun as they get to read the Olde English KJV (what I am most accustomed to). In the book of Romans last week, how interesting the connections were with the suffering and persecuted flock in Rome, and where we are today.
And to think that Paul was in prison during almost all of the Epistles written, does make you think 'what have I suffered'?
IMHO God has blessed our country from its founding, and is currently at a clear crossroads. 'God shed His grace on thee' as the song goes.
As churches open up I'm going to start taking the boys again, and get active again.
Source: lost my religion about 20 years ago, after 15 years of being as devout an Evangelical as you will ever find. Ex-missionary, ex-lots-of-things. Am reconsidering big time now.
