In the span of 24 hours, a federal judge ruled that a governor can’t be investigated for helping illegal aliens stealing taxpayer money evade the law.
Then a foreign-born judge named Sparkle ruled the government can’t verify whether those same illegal aliens are voting illegally.
Then another judge ruled taxpayers must buy illegal aliens and their anchor babies all the junk food they can cram into their shopping carts.
That happened. In that order.
We can either have a country or out-of-control judges, but we can’t have both.
This is from C.S. Lewis's essay, "Delinquents in the Snow." I often wonder what he would have to say today.
"According to the classical political theory of this country we surrendered our right of self-protection to the State on condition that the State would protect us. Roughly, you promised not to stab your daughter's murderer on the understanding that the State would catch him and hang him. ... At present the very uncomfortable position is this: the State protects us less because it is unwilling to protect us against criminals at home and manifestly grows less and less able to protect us against foreign enemies. At the same time it demands from us more and more. We seldom had fewer rights and liberties nor more burdens: and we get less security in return. While our obligations increase their moral ground is taken away."
We have MMA fighters preaching the word of Jesus Christ and telling people to save their lives by putting their trust in God on the White house lawn and you're blackpilling?
All that matters with your mistakes is that you learn from them, stumbling forward; falling, but quickly rising after. The growth that occurs from your shortcomings transmutes disasters into blessings. To waste failure is fool's folly. To avoid it, is coward's. Think bigger. Aim higher. Try harder. Be bolder. Do more.
The quality of your life largely depends upon your willingness to endure seeming failures and be comfortable with unknown risks
And the question i think of often is, "Where is your faith?" Luke 8:25
All you desire is on the other side of showing it
“Read books. Travel when you can. Learn how to cook one meal exceptionally well. Sit in old bars and talk to strangers. Wear your best jacket to dinner. Appreciate good wine, good music, and good conversation. Do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Set the example for younger men who are watching you. Call your parents. Take long walks. Leave your phone behind sometimes. Become the kind of man people feel better after being around. Life is short, so live it well.”
-J.B. Lloyd
Leaving yall with this tonight:
I think one of the healthiest things a person can do is become easy to delight.
To still stop for weird clouds and dogs wearing bandanas and the smell of garlic cooking somewhere down the street.
The world already has enough cynicism.
Be the person who still points at the moon.
