At my church, we're having an all-night prayer vigil starting Maundy Thursday evening and going until noon on Good Friday. We have a sign-up sheet to choose a one-hour "shift" to spend alone with Jesus in the chapel during that time period, in prayer and meditation, with most time slots falling in the dead of night.

I'm planning to choose an hour in the middle of the night to go to remind myself of the loneliness and darkness Christ endured during his final hours. It's also a reminder of where we are in time as human beings, waiting for the light to come back to this world while so many of us feel lonely and hopeless and lost. I'm hoping some of you frens will want to join me Thursday night or Friday morning, wherever you are in the world, in praying for one hour to thank Jesus for what he endured and for peace for all people around the world who are suffering from all forms of tyranny, oppression, violence, cruelty, and trafficking.

I'm curious if anyone else has similar plans for Good Friday and what you'll be doing. In any case, I wish you a peaceful Holy Week.

My husband works on a major military base. There was a power outage at the base today at the same time the cellular network was down. He said that a few of the guys he works with were thinking something serious was about to go down. Later in the afternoon, at the exact same time their phones started working again, the power kicked back on. He said the timing seemed too perfect. I have no idea if or how these two things were connected, but it was certainly an interesting coincidence if they weren't. It feels like today was a test run for something far bigger and more sinister.

There's something changing in this country and across the world, and those of us who observe real life have noticed it, while those who watch the lamestream media 24/7 think that the races and classes all want to kill each other.

My husband has his pickup truck decked out in anti-Biden and conservative stickers, including a large "Fuck Biden and fuck you for voting for him" sticker, and even his license plate expresses a very clear opinion, though for obvious reasons I can't mention it here.

Thursday evening, he had to work late, and then he had to stop at a couple of stores on the drive home to get parts for some problems he's been having with his truck, including a headlight that was out. We live about 35 miles from where he works, so he has a commute, and he was wiped out coming home and frustrated with everything going on. He passed a slow car on the highway, and then came the blue lights flashing. A state trooper. The evening seemed to be going from bad to worse.

My husband watched in his mirror, and the state trooper turned out to be a young black man. My husband said he just took a deep breath because he automatically assumed that the cop would see his stickers, and more importantly his tags, and show no mercy. And, of course, like any state trooper, he was stone-faced and stern as hell once he got up to the window, so it was impossible to read him.

The state trooper did all the usual checking licenses and registration, then came back and told my husband he would let him off with the lowest possible speeding ticket he could give him, even though he clocked the speed at 14 mph (conveniently) over the limit. He also gave him a warning about the headlight but no ticket, and then told my husband to be blessed.

My husband felt relieved and was about to roll up the window when the trooper turned back to him. He started smiling, pounded his fist on the side of the door, and said, "Man, I LOVE your tags!" They both started laughing and nodded at each other in a total MAGA bro moment. My husband said that it made the whole night worthwhile, even with all the trouble, because it just felt so good. And we know it's not unusual for law enforcement to be conservative, but it's a reminder that our preconceived notions about certain races and types of people are no longer correct in most cases. Most of those notions come from the news, the music and movie industries, social media, etc. It's all fake and it's all intentional deception.

I really do believe that black, white, hispanic, Asian, and all Americans have more in common now than we ever have in history. We're all under the thumb of tyranny and oppression together, and the only way out is to come together and fight it, and fight for each other.

On that same day, Thursday, I went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch with a coworker. The guy who rang up my check at the end was Mexican and pretty quiet. He looked like he was having a shitty day. Then he noticed my necklace, which has the Christian fish on it and also a couple of tiny shells from the Sea of Galilee. He asked me about it and we talked for a minute, and by the end of the short conversation, it felt like we'd made a positive human connection, no matter how small. He lightened up considerably, and again, it just felt good to interact on that level with a stranger. It feels so rare in these days of division and disconnection. But I think this is going to start happening more and more often, if we want it to and will allow it. We need this to happen for this movement to continue spreading. We need this soul connection, even with total strangers and all the random people we encounter each day. This is what God wants and, I believe, is a large part of the plan.

Spoiler alert if you haven't seen the film, but it shouldn't be any surprise.

In the movie, one of the main characters describes the laughter and clapping of children as "the sound of freedom." And while it might seem like a cheesy line to some, it is a true statement. The sound of happy, innocent children at play is the sound of a healthy society. And we don't hear that sound anymore. At best, our children are addicted to technology and formed into self-obsessed, entitled narcissists. At worst, they are indoctrinated by deviant fetishists, or sexually abused, or, in the absolutely most evil scenario, sold into sex slavery as the film portrays. While there are pockets of innocent, protected children around the country, our world is sick. And we no longer hear the laughter of children because children carry the burden of the damaged adults at the helm of society.

I am a teacher, one of the few conservatives left in the field. In my job, I have encountered so many children who come not only from broken homes, but have experienced various forms of abuse and neglect. I have one whose father was arrested last year for drug-manufacturing, and another who lost all his teeth because he chewed on furniture in response to being raped over the course of several years. And those are only two examples of the damaged kids I've seen lately. Young people's minds have grown so dark and hopeless that the only satisfaction they find is in the fantasy world of video games, social media, and pornography.

The movie is right. Until we hear the widespread innocent laughter and outdoor play of children and teenagers again, our world remains enslaved. Adults must start with themselves and spread this healing and joy to all young people. The last few generations, starting particularly with the Baby Boomers, have been lost. We must get right with God and with our souls before anything will improve. Most of us are not there yet.

Love him or hate him, trust him or not, this story from Alex Jones rings true. It absolutely seems to be the reason we're seeing these sudden attacks on illegals from other hispanics. And it's likely to get worse, and you can thank your CIA and Biden administration. The video is worth the watch.

Be vigilant. These commies know that churches across the West will be full tomorrow morning, and I'm worried about my family and frens who will be attending services. Enjoy a blessed Easter Sunday, but be careful. They're out for blood.

I caught a Fox clip this morning in which they talked about the current UFO situation. One of the commentators quickly mentioned landmines off the coast of California being another concern right now. Did I miss something? I can't find anything about this anywhere.

We have tablets and horse paste that we've been saving for a rainy day. Well, my husband and I have both come down with pretty bad head colds and I'm curious about trying ivermectin so I can recuperate over the weekend and be ready for Monday.

Has anyone here ever had a BAD experience with this stuff? Negative reactions or side effects?

I hardly ever get on Facebook anymore, but I did earlier, and a friend of mine from high school is "transitioning" into a "man." This has been going on for years with her, but this weekend she proudly announced that she "cut off her tits" and is celebrating it in her posts because now she's a real man, as if being a man means having a flat chest. The disturbing thing is how many people, including some I knew from high school, are cheering her on and saying how great it is and how proud they are.

As a woman, I find it extremely disturbing and offensive that another woman would butcher herself in this way when so many women have to go through this surgery against their will due to cancer. It disgusts me that this mentally ill individual is gloating about how "easy" the surgery was and how awesome she feels now. All while sporting a fake hormone beard and smiling in her pictures with her thumbs up.

In every possible way, the trans agenda mocks and destroys womanhood. And the only way to stop it is to reject it in every way. Refuse to play the game, to use the fake pronouns, to pretend to be okay with it. I'm just really bothered and disgusted tonight.

Esther 4:14 "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

You were created for times such as these.

This Bible quote popped up for me earlier and, on a worldwide scale and on a personal level, it hits me hard today. I often wonder why we were all placed here right now during such bizarrely dark times, but I also know that God wanted us here for this moment. Just wanted to share this because we are all a part of the Great Awakening. Take care of yourselves and stay healthy so that we can keep going.
