It Is Well With My Soul

Totally Wiped Out Today

This morning, while it was sunny and nice, I managed to get out to the store, but that was it.

I’m wondering if I could be fighting off one of the new viruses floating around.  I’m sure that in some corner of the world they are busily mutating existing viruses to create new ones. (So we can have a vaccine for the new ones, too).

I intend to have an early supper and go to bed.  I have been fighting sleep all day, which is not typical for me.

I haven’t really checked on the news today, either.

Let’s hope tomorrow is better.

God bless everybody.

Atheist Chic REPRINT

From December 31, 2013

I have a forum on chessgames.com–which I pay for–where I and my Esteemed Colleagues discuss a variety of issues, including religion and politics. As host, I insist that the conversation be civil.

But of course that never stops atheists from coming in and calling me “stupid” for believing in God, and calling themselves “smart” for not believing in Him. They come into my virtual living room, as it were, and pee on the rug.

Where do they get their enormous sense of entitlement? I guess all they have to do is look around the culture and see that those who hate God and despise God’s people are hailed as oracles and intellectuals, and they want a piece of that. Either that, or they were all raised in some incredibly rustic environment where even the most rudimentary good manners are entirely unknown.

Well, I don’t care. God is God, His word is presented to us in the Bible, the blood of His Son has washed away my sins, and I would rather win eternal life than eternal praise from fools. I don’t care how many letters they have after their names. I don’t care what schools they went to.

I’m nothing special. But it doesn’t matter. I have God’s word to guide me, delivered through Moses and the prophets, through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, through the apostles, and by Jesus Christ Himself. I may be a pygmy, but I stand with giants.

Happy New Year, everybody. And thanks for visiting this blog.

PS Something Good Happened

Today Was An Absolute Disaster

Today started out with me oversleeping.  I get up at an insanely early time, because I go to bed very early.  Never do I oversleep.  I did this morning and that should have been a clue that the day was not going to be a very good one.

To start with, I post a hymn first thing in the morning.  Today I posted the hymn but forgot to put on the title.  I went back in and posted the title.  A little while later I saw I had a typo and had misspelled glory.  Went back in and fixed that.

Then I had one of those days where every other post I tried to share would not grant permission.  That is so totally frustrating.  I honestly don’t know why they have a share button if they don’t want to share.

I decided to have a very simple day.  No challenges and nothing that would require me handling anything sharp. 

I was very glad to see the Southern Poverty Liars Center get their comeuppance.  It is well deserved and long overdue.

Most of the news space was taken up by coverage of the shooting at the correspondent’s  dinner.  It was a lot of talking, with very little said.  I did read the shooters “manifesto” in which he accused President Trump of every crime but the Lindbergh kidnapping.  That was a giant waste of time.

Tomorrow has got to be better.

At least I hope so.

God bless everybody.
