Bob Dylan’s song asks a question about the troubling weight that hangs on the neck of every human, what is this treacherous life all about and why do people do the things they do?How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man? Even asking that question these days causes outrage because even the obvious has come under question. We won’t go down that rabbit hole, but it is indicative of the road we’re traveling on.

We all have a road we walk down. For some it is a monotonous journey of toil and strife. For others, it’s a new adventure every day. King Solomon told us that there was little difference in the end; we all end up in the grave. So, after he’d experienced everything in life, good and bad, his advice was to walk humbly with your God. Enjoy the life you’ve been given. He had learned that even the wisest of men are in the end simply a sinner ruled by their lust and in need of the grace of God.

Back to Dylan’s question; how many roads? The answer is not blown in the wind; there are only two roads we can walk down. The lack of care for suffering; turning our heads and pretending we just don’t see, stopping our ears from hearing gives us a mindless wandering life. How many years must some people exist before they’re allowed to be free? Till they hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.

John 14:6 Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father if not by me”. Our problem is we don’t have a healthy fear of God. Matthew 7:14 warns us, strait is the gate, and narrow is the way that leads to life, and few there be that find it. There is only one road that is worth the walk.

Think of the words Dylan uses, how many roads before you call him a man? Isn’t a man a man no matter which road he chooses? You’d think so. Dylan’s foray into Christianity remains enigmatic. His words are not holy writ. Am I trying to read too much into his words? Dylan told his wife he believed the whole Bible. He was the voice of a disillusioned generation that have grown up and had children that are even more unhappy, hopeless, and distressed. Dylan was asking the question we all ask, what is life all about?

We head down the road of life and what matters is simply this: do we remain a “man” at the end possessing eternal life or do we perish? How many roads? Just two.

Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, therefore choose life, that thou and thy seed may live.

Deuteronomy means repetition or copy. We are to train our children up in the way they should go, encouraging them to hide God’s Word in their heart. Then the road they walk down will be the right one.

These are the new F-bombs. Dirty 2020 words that hopefully will be forgotten in 2021.

Fauci is a typical all knowing bureaucrat on a quest for glory and power with the normal government propensity to contradict previous edicts. He’d be better off if he kept his mouth shut and maybe show us he earned his keep by getting that lab coat dirty. He’s nothing more that a Democrat Party tool well versed in holier-than- thou excrement. Good-for-nothings like him have ruined our lives. I’m alone in wondering how Doctor Do-little knew a couple years in advance that Trump would face a pandemic.

Saint Floyd was nothing more and nothing less than a career criminal. When arrested, he swallowed his fentanyl to hide it from police which he’d done the previous year. He complained of breathing problems before he was wrestled to the ground. It’s standard procedure to kneel on the back of an uncooperative criminal. I remember it took five Military Police to hold a drunk six foot six soldier down and haul him off to jail. The general public doesn’t have any idea what it’s like dealing with these violent offenders. Only the victims of their crimes get that pleasure.

Fraud is a constant problem in elections but the Democratic Party has boned it to a skilled trade. After years of skirting the rule of law they’ve become sloppy. They assumed the Covid coup would be largely unnoticed and underestimated Trump’s political abilities. The Democrats no doubt rigged the 2016 election but because the polls were so lopsided, they weren’t ready for such a close election.

Under normal circumstances the Democrats would have demanded a recount but couldn’t because the Dominion machine fraud would have been found out at that time, so they had to settle on a four-year coup strategy to get rid of Trump. Finally it was crucial for the economy to be destroyed and as “coincidence” would have it, Covid19 came along to assist that ploy.

Enter Fauci to instill fear and pit us against one another. Enter Floyd to legitimize violence as a means to an end to further intimidate and divide people. And to bring down the curtain on America, unabashed fraud to push the leftist agenda over the will of the people to facilitate America’s demise.

Americans have the attention span of a gnat; too ignorant to know that Covid19 is a virus and should be treated as such, too gullible to understand the Marxist underpinning of BLM and Antifa, and too desirous of “normalcy” to watch the testimonies of those exposing the election fraud.

Fauci. Criminal. Floyd. Criminal. Fraud. Criminal. Do something.

America, God shed His grace on thee and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

Oh beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self, their country loved
And mercy more than life, America, America may God thy gold refine
‘Til all success be nobleness
And every gain divined

The above verses are the description of a “fairy tale” place, a place of brotherhood, of caring for one another. God has blessed us and made us the power we are. Less than a hundred years after our founding we fought a war which cost 618,000 lives, maybe more. The North and South strife lingered for years and has degenerated into a division between the enlightened self-righteous and those who loved the original vision of America, a place where you could say whatever you wanted, keep the money you earned, own property your family could live on, and worship the God of creation.

So we are now divided between those who perceive themselves pure and those who know they’re sinners. I believe we’re falling apart and that may be without remedy. We’re not going back to “normal”. Normal is for fairy tales.

Luke 1:46-55

The Song of Mary

⁴⁶ And Mary said:

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
⁴⁷ And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
⁴⁸ For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
⁴⁹ For He who is mighty has done great things for me,
And holy is His name.
⁵⁰ And His mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.
⁵¹ He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
⁵² He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.
⁵⁴ He has helped His servant Israel,
In remembrance of His mercy,
⁵⁵ As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and to his seed forever.”

Mary was a young girl but so well versed in who God was, what He was like. She was given the honor of bringing Jesus Christ into the world. God did not just randomly pick Mary. Mary loved God with all her heart, soul, and mind. Her song demonstrates how well she knew God.

So what do we learn of God from this peasant girl? Rejoice! Why? Because like Mary, God regarded our lowly state, our helpless condition. He has done the greatest thing for us, given us His Son who paid the ransom for our sin. His mercies are new every morning for those that fear Him. We’ve seen God do great things. He takes down kings and confounds the proud in their foolish endeavers. Even if you’re poor and hungry, He fills you with His Holy Spirit. And those who have built bigger barns, in the end they have no standing with Him. We can depend on God because after two thousand years, He remembers Israel.

He remembers His promise to Abraham. He remembers His promise to Israel; He will remember His promise to you.

This all could very well be yet another well orchestrated ‘fake news’ story to deflect attention away from the inside job that is being carried out on the entire system. Just another excuse made palatable to the minions of software dependent geekage that blindly putter on as the uncertainty, shutdowns, and eventual shortages of everything continue. It’s the new logistics.

The previous paragraph is a comment from “mish talk on The Street. This recent hack which everyone is blaming on Trump’s “friend” Putin, has been going on for years. The breach with Solar Winds happened at least four years ago. It’s always handy to blame Donald Trump for everything but enough is enough.

America has had serious enemies for years and they all don’t reside in Moscow. The fact of the matter is that the deep state is the problem. Notice that it wasn’t our big cyber security protection racket that found this hack. It was a “little guy” working at FireEye. All this money spent by our government and corporations to protect us and this is what happens right under our noses?

In words, the left exalt the “little guy” doing his job. But in reality it’s the overseer, the people who head three-letter organizations who are so important. We needed a director of cybersecurity. NO. What we ended up needing is somebody doing there job! We probably won’t even know their name; that person is just a regular person not running for some position or office.

Our lack of preparedness has been nakedly apparent for years. Pointing political fingers for personal gain is inexcusable. Unfortunately most of the public doesn’t think longer than a tweet and so the dangerous game of demonizing Donald Trump and the deplorables continues.

It’s time for our civil servants to earn their keep and stop spending all their waking moments on PR for self-promotion. The public should demand it but they don’t even know what it is.

With all of our technology and access to knowledge, we are no better off than any generation of the past. There is no difference between those who can’t read and those who won’t. That’s always been the case. If the tree falls in the forest and no one sees, it didn’t really happen. That’s where we’re at.
