Think about it. How many people listened to her? How many people started talking about it? How much coverage did it get? She accomplished plenty.

You are right, the answer is NOT government, it is God. I have joined the RCIA team at my church to bring in new Catholics. I am back to an extra mass each week and the Rosary. I can count on God, government continues to disappoint me. So does my husband’s continued refusal to treat his cancer. I need some calm in my life, so I turned to God.

I know that. My guess is, many of the things he was shown were things that had not yet come into existence, and so...he had to use his frame of reference.

But...

The writing is awesome.

I will keep you and yours in my prayers, but if he continues to refuse treatment...

Hit him with guilt first, a bat second....

I would expect my wife to do the same, and I think XS would go inverse. ;)

And infuriating at the same time. A conundrum.

Obamacare, reeking like ordure
And if you ever need a procedure
Your appendix will burst
Because Barry comes first
He’s immune; so’s the whole legislature

I like that word...

His minions praise Obamacare
And award it golden stars-
But more have signed up for
A one-way journey to Mars

So the spirit of adventure,
The need to discover and thrive
Believes that a barren planet
Gives better odds to survive

Than more government run ordure
That signs you up to steal
Cash through higher premiums-
Mars may be a better deal...

I just pray that God gives us courage for whatever lies ahead of us, so that we don’t falter. Going galt at a moment’s notice, among those with the same mindset seems the best way to be ready to deal with whatever comes.

Heck, let’s make an appointment with our neighborhood undertaker. Good idea. He won’t see the doctors.
