Happy Thanksgiving 2023 A.D.
The World Has Gone To Hell In A Handbasket! Keep Your Head Up And Watch Your Six.
This isn’t really a post, it’s just a happy holidays to all readers of this Substack.
I hope you are with family and friends or else just safe and enjoying your day today.
It’s easy to get depressed nowadays, especially with things the way they are now.
Don’t give in to the doom dog. Pet him on the head and give him his own plate in the garage with some turkey.
Natural born survivors know despair is a sin. It is good to laugh when your heart is heavy, it lightens the burden and gives rise to hope.
Remember that if God had it in for you, you’d already be dead. Say grace today and be grateful we are still a blessed people with enough to eat on our plates. Our biggest menace remains obesity in the West. Many wish they had those kinds of problems.
We are better positioned than other people who have few options that they have not willingly surrendered. The Americans are still cheerful because the most important freedoms remain in our domain and we still have some autonomy to be thankful for.
It is a holy principle that being Christians, we strive to avoid giving the bastards any satisfaction by not permitting them to ruin our holidays. Like the residents of WhoVille in the Grinch by Dr. Seuss, let’em listen for wails but only hear laughter, song and praise for God today. That’ll mess with their heads.
The thing about a grim future is that can often be the start of reform for a better one. Really bad things tend to destroy themselves from excess and our civilization has stretched that rubber band about as far as it is going to go before it snaps back. You can chase nature out with a pitchfork but she will always return.
I am invoking God’s mercy to ask that he keep you happy, safe, free of want and secure in your home and together with your loved ones.
I apologize for being late with my software, it’s been a rough year but I am not using that as an excuse. There have been endless delays getting it together again, it makes me wish I had never shared any of it with commercial clients to be honest. Since it was intact a year ago I don’t think I have too much more work before I can at least demo it for subscribers.
I also intend to get podcasts going soon. I want to complete at least one in the coming month and I hope to have at least one a week on some topic by January 2024. I think it’s going to be an interesting year and I want to keep people informed about the major plot points as that year is in progress. I have zero doubt we are about to enter interesting times.
Keep planning, prepping and practicing. If you’re not vaxxed and you’ve got any kind of plan at all, you’re already doing better than 99.99999% of the population of the Western world. Never forget, you already withstood everything these jerks threw at you and they missed you, so far. You might be on a winning streak here.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
