Dear Ones
I am frustrated this morning. Wednesdays are my days to pray for you by name but truth is I am in need of you to pray for me.
I refrain from watching ‘lame stream media’ (borrowed from Sarah Palin) because I know it is lethal to me. The lies, the reprobate babbling that is spewed there just brings out the worst in me. But even Fox in their effort to be ‘fair and balanced’ is overload for me this morning. Case in point: Alan Colmes. Gracious! Is he really that blind? How much kool-aide has he drank?!
See what I mean? Frustrated!
This is going to be a long political season! I can see right now I am going to need Scripture more than ever to make it through November with any semblance of charity and mercy.
Truthfully though, I can say I wish no harm to the victims of reprobate thinking, but charity is not coming easy. I add to my frustration imagining that I could surely reason with them; ask the right questions, draw the proper contrasts and their eyes would open. Silly me! (Bring every thought captive, Kathie! 2 Corinthians 10:5 )
Only Almighty GOD can witness the sin, the evil, the reprobate thinking, the malicious deeds of the masses and be not frustrated. Oh I must draw close under the shelter of His Everlasting Wings for strength, for comfort, for love and mercy.
Psalm 91
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him will I trust.”
4 He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust; His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day,
6 nor of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that layeth waste at noonday.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation,
10 there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Root Rest
Suddenly as I was relating an incident to my beloved this morning, a message came that I am eager to write. I want to see how it develops.
Snow.
Snow is our beta. If in keeping with our previous betas that would be S.T. :) Each of them have been similar and yet different. I think Snow is the laziest one. And perhaps that is because we provided him with something that we did not provide the others.
A peace lily growing in his water.
I dropped food pellets in his water vase this morning and he barely noticed. Took one bite and went back to his root rest. You see the peace lily (plant) is such that he can swim into a space within the roots just beneath the water and just rest and sleep; when he needs a fresh whiff of air he can just lift his ‘head’ gulp and then lower again to continue his resting. And were it not for this morning’s happening I could think oh the poor thing he is old and infirmed.
Not so.
Not sure what possessed me but this morning, I lifted the peace lily from the water leaving Snow with no place to rest and he began to devour the food pellets. I’ve never seen him each so much! Two pinches of pellets!!
So I replaced the peace lily and he returned to his root rest.
What’s the lesson?
Truthfully, I am not so worried about Snow’s resting. He’s a fish! It’s not like he can raise a family, build a city, and preach the gospel in his vase world. Or can he?? :)
But people? Excluding real infirmities, of course, are not people prone to laziness as is Snow?
If the ‘root rests’ were pulled out from under them perhaps they would work. You think?
Multiple scenarios are coming to mind – adults and children alike.
2 Thessalonians 3:The Message (MSG)
6-8 Our orders—backed up by the Master, Jesus—are to refuse to have anything to do with those among you who are lazy and refuse to work the way we taught you. Don’t permit them to freeload on the rest. We showed you how to pull your weight when we were with you, so get on with it. We didn’t sit around on our hands expecting others to take care of us
via 2 Thessalonians 3:9-11 MSG – Our orders—backed up by the Master, – Bible Gateway.
I think from time to time for Snow’s own good I pull his root rest and force him to swim before he eats.
Thoughts? Comments? Actions, anyone?
We have the Right to do right in this wrong World,

Snow waiting for the water treatment to work so he can get back to root resting.
