Reuben, what you have written (quite eloquently) has been on my heart for years. We are indeed in for some troubling times ahead. Preparing with our eyes wide open by seeing through the lens of truth/wisdom written in the bible, all the subtle evils creeping into our society has kept me and my family calm, peaceful and confident. How…??… easy… “greater is He that in me than he that it is the world”.
Please keep spreading the truth that our hope …our trust …our very souls remain steadfast in an Almighty Father who loves His children to the point He sacrificed Himself to win us back from a fallen and broken (ahem… woke) world. Bravo, dear sir, Bravo!
PS. Praying your time of respite brings you back to health and vitality. This poem by Alice Hansche Mortensen seems apropos:
Thanks Chad for sharing your thoughts, for your prayers and for the wonderful poem, which touched my heart. Your comments are much appreciated. Steven Wilkinson pointed me some months ago to the great article by Albert Jay Nock about "the remnant". It was first published in 1936. Here is a link to the article in case you haven't read it - https://mises.org/library/isaiahs-job
There is great hope for us but we will have to discern it through the darkness. Fortunately, the light is great!
Indeed the Light is VERY great, Reuben. And thank you for taking a moment to reply to my comment. It made my day!
I will definitely read the article on “the remnant” Steven sent you. He has easily become a top 3 favorite of mine these last few months. Genuine, kind, erudite and a 21st century renaissance man. I admire him (and you) quite a lot. Enjoy your Lord’s day.
Fascinating about Fox. James was “my” boss and was very different to his father. I was surprised when they cut Fox Film loose. I’m mildly shocked that did same to TC but think you’re correct in your assessment that it’s to do with Trump. I don’t think they’re overly concerned with the too big a personality having run the film industry for so long (some of the personalities in this and the management team were big big egos) but if they’re not backing Trump it all makes sense now. TC will have known for a while anyway so no doubt has great things up his great big sleeves.
Thanks for the great insights. I watch a few episodes of Succession but it became too traumatic. It looks like it is closer to reality than we realized.

He Drew Me Aside
I needed the quiet so He drew me aside,
Into the shadows where we could confide.
Away from the bustle where all the day long
I hurried and worried when active and strong.
I needed the quiet tho at first I rebelled
But gently, so gently, my cross He upheld
And whispered so sweetly of spiritual things
Tho weakened in body, my spirit took wings
To heights never dreamed of when active and gay.
He loves me so greatly He drew me away.
I needed the quiet. No prison my bed,
But a beautiful valley of blessings instead –
A place to grow richer in Jesus to hide.
I needed the quiet so He drew me aside.
