A Nooze-Free Sunday REPRINT

From August 26, 2018

 

God has set aside one day in seven as a day of rest. For some of us, that’s Sunday; for others, Saturday.

By now I’m frazzled by a week’s worth of really bad news. By Friday opening the Drudge Report is like opening a dumpster left out on the sun too long.

So let’s do no nooze today. Rest, and let the seed planted by God germinate and grow, we know not how. Let’s have a bit of Memory Lane, Oy, Rodney, cat video, and another hymn if anyone requests one.

God uses things that don’t exist to bring to nothing things that do (I Corinthians 1:28). So let’s step out of the way and let Him do it. He commanded a day of rest for a reason.

Tomorrow we can crank it up again.

Can We Please Rest Today?

I couldn’t tell you how many lizards have fallen asleep in my hands, or on my lap; but I can tell you that I wish that I was one of them. I had a very bad night, last night.

Tomorrow it’s another doctor visit, which I’ve come to dread. What’ll it be this time? At least when you’re already in the blinkin’ hospital, they can’t threaten to pack you off to it. But man, oh, man! The whole month of November, plus half of December–no, precious, we don’t want to go back!

So today we mean to rest, Patty and me. Hurry up and rest! We need it, and after all, isn’t that what Sunday is for?

 

No Nooze on Sunday

There won’t be any dinosaurs around tomorrow, but you can bet the nooze will still be there.

As you probably know by now, I try to stay away from the nooze on Sunday. Judah the Maccabee wouldn’t fight on the Sabbath unless he were attacked. So unless something unusually bad comes up, let’s stick with a day of rest.

Not that there’s nothing to write about! There are things that deeply trouble me. You can be sure I’ll be writing about them during the week.

But today… Leave it in God the Father’s hands.

Saving the Nooze for Tomorrow

Judas Maccabeus - Wikipedia

I will not get into this business on the Sabbath day, the day of rest. Yes, I know we’re governed by venom-spitting dindles who think of nothing but new ways to make our lives harder and harder–gotta do it, see, to Save The Planet.

When Judah the Maccabee fought the Seleucid Empire to re-establish his country’s independence, his custom was to refrain from battle on the Sabbath, unless he was attacked and forced to defend himself. For his part, this was a declaration of his trust in God.

Nor did David attack his enemies until the LORD said “Go.”

So let’s rest while we have the chance. Our country needs saving. Our historic liberties are all at risk. Any leader who takes our side, they try to destroy.

Tomorrow we will fight again. We will not permit the Far Left Crazy to devour our country.

Nooze? On Sunday? (Naaah…)

There’ll still be plenty of bad nooze to report tomorrow. I like to follow the example of Judah the Maccabee, who never fought on the Sabbath unless he was attacked.

Instead, I propose to read Patty the first couple chapters of Ozias, Prince Enthroned and see what she thinks of them. I think they’re coming along nicely, but what do I know?

And then, because the day is pleasant, some little while outside with a nice cigar… and maybe the next chapter will suggest itself. Which is to say, maybe the LORD will suggest it.

And then we’ll see if Violet Crepuscular has a new chapter of Oy, Rodney for us, because a laugh is a blessing and so is Monumental Mainstream Literature (MML). We leave if to you to classify Ms. Crepuscular’s work.

Sabbath Rest

I want to rest, this Sabbath day. We should all rest: God knows we need it, and if we’re going to take our country’s future seriously, we’ll need to be well rested for the week (and weeks) to come.

I don’t see how you certify or ratify an election so rife with fraud as this one. I don’t see how the authorities can refuse to allow a thorough audit: because how do you govern when better than half the country is convinced you have no right to be there? Do they think it’ll go away? No–it will hang over any Biden regime (it sickens me to say it) forever. It will never go away: they cheated to get there. They cheated us. The stole our country from us.

So pray. We need to repent the sins, the sloth, and the foolishness that got us into all this trouble. We have to stop doing wicked stupid things. Our country is in the most danger it’s ever been in, not excluding World War II. The enemy is here and he has stolen our election.

It must not stand.

Fight it until it’s defeated; and may God the Father fight for us.

Nooze-free Sunday!

From A Shaded Glade To A Sunlit Glade With Trees Disappearing ...

There has to be a clearing somewhere in this wilderness. All we have to do is find it.

I want to keep the Sabbath by steering clear of nooze. We have an infinite supply of it, no fear of running out. There will be plenty of it waiting for us tomorrow–all of it bad, I expect.

God ran out of Assyrians and Huns, so He uses Democrats to scourge us.

But not today! Judah the Maccabee never fought a battle on the Sabbath unless it was literally forced on him by the enemy–and he was battling for Israel against virtually insurmountable odds. He won anyway, by God’s grace.

Let the sword come out of the sheath again tomorrow.

Today, the Sabbath rest.

‘My Favorite Lines from Movies’ (2013)

Enjoying our Sabbath rest, I like to kick back with a movie in the afternoon. My father always used to do that, although he liked to watch from a prone position on the couch and almost always fell asleep.

Anyway, here are some of my favorite lines from movies: https://leeduigon.com/2013/08/18/my-favorite-lines-from-movies/

What are some of yours?

Fun Fact: Roy Scheider’s immortal line in Jaws, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat,” was an ad lib! Probably the greatest single line in his whole acting career–and he came up with it himself, on the spur of the moment.

Noise, Noise, Noise!

Whatever happened to the Sabbath rest? Has it been outlawed or something?

This Sunday, every gavone in this neighborhood was out there with a leaf-blower, lawnmower, weed-whacker, air compressor, or any combination thereof, hour after hour, making the whole place sound like New Year’s Eve in Mordor. There was even a roofing crew loudly tearing off the roof of a nearby house.

And this morning it was first the jack-hammers, for an hour or two, and then, the moment they stopped, the guy next door with his leaf-blower and weed-whacker. He also has an outdoor light with a 1,000-watt bulb which he kept turning on and off throughout Saturday night, waking me half a dozen times.

Something’s going on here that I don’t understand.

Where Is My Sabbath Rest?

By the time Sunday rolls around, I’m pretty much shot, spiritually. You guys only see the stuff I write about. You don’t see the stuff I don’t write about, but still have to read. So along about now, I need a day of rest. Spiritually, I mean.

So I’m eating my breakfast and my wife starts reading me this revolting story about Canada changing their national anthem to make it “gender neutral,” blah-blah, and I start singing to myself, O, my Sabbath rest got blown away, doo-dah, doo-dah/ I got no Sabbath rest today, O doo-dah day/ Wait another week, another rest to seek/ just listenin’ to dem lefties speak, O doo-dah day!

Maybe if I go outside and pray, I can get some of it back.
