My coffee is brewing. The medicine is ready. I write best with a cup of coffee nearby. I was supposed to be off today. But instead, someone asked me to take there place at work. It is just four hours, 6 PM to 10 PM. Then, tomorrow I have my eye-exam at 10 AM. We are coming up on the twenty year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I was just seventeen. I remember I was up stairs. In bed. I could hear my Mom go quickly to the radio beneath the stairs. She turned it on. I could vaguely hear what was going on. Something about a plane hitting a tower. Then, I heard cries on the radio, as a second plane hit the second tower. I rushed down stairs to get closer to the radio. I did not see the towers themselves fall, as we did not get television. But rather, I heard it all as the towers collapsed on the radio, I could hear it still just like I did then. The rushing sound. I can remember that. Also, I remember hearing that the Pentagon had been struck as well. About Flight 93 and “Let’s Roll”. I had just joined the Navy. I was in the Delayed Entry Program for the United States Navy, or “DEP” as it was called. I also had just been called a “stalker”, a few days before, by Stephanie. In fact, my last e-mail from her on my Juno account was on 10 September, 2001. When the first plane hit, they thought it might be an accident. But when the second plane hit, they knew it was an attack.
Well, fast forward to today. We withdrew from Afghanistan, and we are now still dealing with COVID-19. All of the reporting is on Southern states, so they are bullying the southern states to try and get them to impose mandates. Meanwhile, other states are still dealing with the fallout from COVID-19.
The Daily Wire had an interesting piece. I thought I would share it here. Basically, Los Angeles County is going to pay, to Grace Community Church, $400,000 USD. This is because some of the rules imposed for the COVID restrictions were not meant to apply to houses of worship, according to the Supreme Court. Thats a hefty fee. This is from all that confusion about whether they could even sing in church. Although the Supreme Court stepped in, it is sad to say it, but Los Angeles County was trying to afflict the church. But it was all symbolic and they focused on John MacArthur’s church.
He defied several orders from the COVID restrictions, and won his case in the Supreme Court. It looks like it worked out. But I do not believe we are supposed to defy the Government. Defying the government is rebellion. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. “Where two or three are gathered in my Name, there also am I” is what Jesus said. So, Jesus already allowed for Social Distancing. This looks like a big win, but with the ease at which Los Angeles County decided to pay up, I do believe this will come back to haunt Grace Community Church. I do not think that John MacArthur is a witch, I am just saying that the government comes from God, not from Man, so we need to obey the government. What about a church that had less resources? Were they less faithful for obeying the government? Of course not.
What does this have to do with 9/11? I do believe COVID-19 was the Catholic Church’s “9/11”. This was the first time the government imposed any restrictions on worship in the United States. Nevertheless, we ought to still obey the government, where our safety is concerned. We are to be blameless before Man and God. We ought to obey God- which in this case means obeying the government. This time it was the Supreme Court that made it so that John MacArthur was blameless. I would never condemn someone for going to church- but an alternative was provided. By God himself I believe- the Internet. All while COVID-19 was going on, I attended services online, or listened on the radio. Because these alternates are available, they ought to be used because they allow us to do the motions of worship still, without breaking the laws, or endangering anybody. However false the claim might be. So, if you are in a southern state or a church, they will come for you about COVID because the left desperately wants to retake power after Trump ruined the whole thing for him. His shutdown lasted a month. After that, he left it up to the Governors to decide to re-open. President Joe Biden and others wanted an eighteen month shutdown. So, Trump took the bight out of it, by imposing his own shutdown, which was very tight. Yes, he imposed a shutdown. But when they re-impose a shutdown, the affect will be lost because we already had a shutdown/lockdown. So, we know what it is about.
The state of California will pay the church $400,000 as well, bringing the total to $800,000

Even the state of California was forced to pay John MacArthur, and his church. It looks like a big victory. But this is really just the beginnings of persecution. So the victory will be lost on people once that continues. Once they find a new way to get at the church they will be back for blood. They will remember not to mess with John MacArthur but rather to go for lesser victims that they can impose there will upon. But this is why God provided the internet. As long as we can still worship, we should obey the government. Still, for the most part, he did obey the government that is he was very orderly in what he did. I am not condemning but rather pointing out how I think it should have been handled. The Government showed its hand, took off its gloves, and was prepared to smack the church around a bit. Oddly, it is the church which helps the government, not the government which helps the church. John is a champion, He has been given much by God.
Anyways, I have been working long hours. But I am happy for short hours, still. I want to work full time, so I took the hours tonight to show motivation. Hopefully I will make it to my eye exam tomorrow. I set it early, so I could still make it to work. The point of working ful time is to save for a car, and money for school. I also want to invest. Who knows, maybe Albertsons will become my career. Yesterday, a Lady told me that because I work so hard, I will end up in Management. Wow, what a compliment. I realize she was flattering me, but it was so encouraging. But for now, I like being a Courtesy Clerk. It is exciting, and meaningful employment. I deal with hundreds of people per day. Sometimes even more, I am sure. I also deal with members of the Public.
Listening to Michael Anthony at Studio 10 broadcasting. I find it to be a good show, Michael has so much energy, and he reflects it in his broadcast. I first heard about Michael Anthony in Cajun Truth Seekers. Ever since, I have enjoyed his broadcasts. He is pro-Trump. So, if you do not like Trump, stay away from Michael.
Speaking of Trump, I have a YouTube I want to share from 2017, where Trump discussed our pulling out of Afghanistan. Not that trump needs to be defended. His actions speak for themselves. Trump was against a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan.
I found this video in one of my Facebook Groups. It doesn’t shed light on what trump planned to do in withdrawing, but it does share his words on the manner of withdrawal from Afghanistan. At the end of the video, Trump says, “In the end, we will win”.
Now that you know I’m a Trump supporter you might have stopped reading my blog. But that is ok. I put his video on here so you can know what he had to say, for himself, in regards to Afghanistan. We withdrew in a hasty manner, and sure enough the Taliban took over very rapidly. The Afghan military, trained by the United States did not even put up a fight. The operation, “Enduring Freedom” (OEF) ending did not reflect the beginning, where our brave warriors went in and dislodged a tyrant. In November 2001, the Taliban was beaten. Under a Republican. In August 2021, that same rabble became victorious over a democratic President. All the efforts of our troops have been wasted. My eyes and ears cannot believe it.
I got my eye exam today. Finally. Now, I need to save a bit and get some new glasses. Now, it is time for work. I hope this blog post finds you well. Have an excellent day!
