A message from the other side of the aisle.
When they tell you what they are going to do, believe them.
I can understand someone thinking that this woman is crazy and a suitable place for her is a mental institution.
What I cannot understand is the growing chorus of women determined to turn the murder of three children into yet another indictment of the “patriarchy,” inadequate husbands and bad fathers.
Lindsay Clancy strangled Cora, Dawson and Callan. Their father came home to a nightmare and lost all three of his children, yet somehow he, men generally, and society itself are being judged as guilty by this cohort of liberal (mostly white), radicalized Nazi-feministas.
Mental illness may explain what she did and may ultimately determine her criminal responsibility. But transforming the killer into the principal victim, the murdered children into scenery, and their grieving father into a convenient symbol of male failure is not compassion. It is disgusting.
Metaphorically, this is what the government tried to do to the COVID-19 dissidents during Biden’s COVID reign.

The Bright Side
There is much to be said about where our attitude leads us. We’ve all faced situations we thought could bury us. The loss of a loved one, a sickness, an injury, the loss of a job, someone walks out on us. Running a business has certainly had its ups and downs. Landing jobs, losing jobs, gaining customers, losing customers, employees come and employees go. If I believed every negative change would have buried me I would have been out of business decades ago.
When the going gets tough the tough gets going. If we think positive, some of our toughest times made us resilient, more committed, it helped to make us who we are today. If we get bitter and lose our enthusiasm we will allow the difficulties of life to bury us, they can keep us from our God given destiny.
Find the positive message in every event instead of always seeing the negative. Shake off the dirt and step up. The difference between being buried or being planted is like the magic in a seed. A seed can sit comfortably on a shelf for years and never reach its full potential. If you were able to ask the seed what it would prefer, it would probably choose to be left alone, I’m fine here on the shelf. But when the seed is planted, covered with dirt, in that dark and lonely place, it begins to germinate. The pressure of all that heavy dirt doesn’t stop that seed from growing. It pushes itself out of the ground and starts producing beautiful flowers or fruit. Notice when you plant a seed it doesn’t come up and just give you another seed. It doesn’t come up equal. It grows into a beautiful producing plant. Much like a plant, a person, with all of the pressures of life, blossoms into just what God had meant us to be. The pressures of life are not an end, but are a beginning.
I heard this story of a farmer who had an old mule that had fallen into an empty well, the well was about 40 or 50 feet deep. The farmer was so disappointed he really loved that old mule. When he surveyed the situation he realized it was almost impossible to rescue him. The well was very narrow and the mule was crammed at the bottom. He figured the mule was probably already seriously injured.
As much as he didn’t want to he decided the mule nor the well was worth saving so he was just going to fill the well in with dirt and bury the old mule. He called some friends to help and they began to shovel the dirt in, one shovel at a time.
When that old mule felt that dirt hit his back he realized what they were doing. Instead of wallowing in self pity, thinking to bad for me, the mule decided every time he felt the dirt hit his back he would shake it off and step up, shake it off and step up. Time after time no matter how he felt, no matter how tired he got he’d shake it off and step up, shake it off and step up. Finally after hours of doing this he was able to step over the wall of the well and walk out triumphantly to freedom.
What’s interesting is the dirt that was meant to bury him actually saved his life. So when you feel the dirt hit your back, when life treats you unfair, when you go through disappointment, don’t let it bury you, shake it off and step up. The same dirt that’s trying to bury you can be the very dirt God will use to promote you. Your attitude should be I may be down but I’m not staying down. This difficulty may have been meant to destroy me, it may have been meant to harm me but I know better, God’s going to use it to my advantage. He’s going to use it to increase me.
Know the only difference between a hard rock of carbon and a priceless diamond is the amount of pressure that it’s endured. How we handle adversity can make or break us. Keep pressing forward with a smile on your face. You know that God is in complete control. So do the right thing even though the wrong thing is happening. Instead of complaining declare a victory. This problem didn’t come to stay it came to pass. I have all the strength for everything I need. When you do that the seed of victory will begin to release and you will blossom into the fullness of what God made you to be.
Happy Sunday Everyone!
