On Consent

I came to a realization this morning, after waking from possibly the purest sleep I've had in a long time: there are certain situations that really hit home for us, and can put us in a child like state. This is biblically referenced as well Matthew 18:3 "And he said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.'" (NIV). This is a very vulnerable position, and makes anyone seeking to follow these words highly suggestible. I believe this was known from the start, by both darkness and light, also by angels and demons, and finally became clear to both woman and then men.

So if the score is to be settled, it must be settled by men (sorry ladies). It is because the jury is still out, the lawyer has yet to arrive in full, and God remains a silent observer until God's plan is realized in full on Earth.

Basically, when the outcry becomes so great, it will reach the Lord:

"Then the Lord said, 'The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.'” Genesis 18:20-21.

This story is not what it seems at all. It is not about homosexuality, but about rape, not-consentual forced action, spoken broadly.

I witnessed such action this Sunday and into Monday morning brutally and in full, while voluntarily visiting a mental health facility. It was evident in both the staff and patients, both sets involuntarily imprisoned. It took some time, but I feel like I made a difference while there, I pray that is true. Amen, and happy Tuesday!

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite. We sail through winter Eyes scanning for a Spring Day On the horizon Omelas be damned. Let waves wash worst days from mind Best are yet to come We seek a shared realm With no more dream(s) to distract Though they might buoy Our blood sweat and tears Will be worth each step taken Our footfalls swear it They say 'life goes on' Perhaps it does on some shore Here, we claim the NOW!"

(W)rest Control

Need I say one word? We've tried [that] one already And yet here we are So in silence sleep May your perfect Dream meet you Across the lim line An echo is heard "I do not exist" replied An echo is heard Ink fresh on the page Contracts diverge and collide With you in my arms Intersection stays Written deeper than our code Indelible Mark This turn naught taken That the first might rest at last Finally at peace When looking to (w)rest Remember the lesson learned Fly, fly back to me Nothing gained or lost Nothing is impossible Nothing out of reach

Verdict

I have held this back for long enough. This wicked generation sickens me. This distasteful generation disgusts me. 1,000 generations promised, nonetheless, and so it will be. Did you know that one can build an image of Jesus so clearly in their mind that they will see an idol in his place and feel certain of their eternal fate? A cloned image, without the power of God. Perhaps considered fine, here on Earth, but what of on Judgement Day? How horrific would it be to find out that you have been lied to? How terrifying will it be to hear "I never knew you" in the silence, while you ask the lawyer by your side to proceed? Jesus is not coming for you. You hung him on the cross, you pierced him and left him there in your heart, never even thinking to repay the forgiveness he would ultimately offer. You blasphemed his name and the Holy Spirit with your contempt, and lied about it, every day, even to yourself. So, intentional contempt is summed, your will removed from the verdict, th...
