I agree. My main directive on earth as a redeemed daughter of The Most High is to honor Him and be available and useful in making the Name of Jesus known in this world.Psalm 105:1 All else is to take the second, third, or even fourth Chair. Like it or not resisting evil at the voting booth, writing letters to Elected Officials, making phone calls, writing blog posts just to name a few IS part of making Jesus known in this sin-sick world. Resisting evil and the works of darkness IS being available and useful in making Him known, especially when it intersects with politics.
Micah 6:8 (NLT) 8 No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.source
Father GOD, there is no one we can with full confidence believe other than You. The world is filled with Liars and Opportunists – none of them can we safely trust. It is hard to live in this world of Sin. There was a time when life here was more desirable but corruption is abounding and there is NO ONE on earth to save us. There is None good, no not one You said and I believe You. You said the death of your saints is precious in Your Sight. I understand that more and more now. Yet I am still here as are many of Your Children and because we are, we are crying out to You for some early justice. We understand and accept The Great White Throne is yet to be. We understand the Bema is yet to be and we await those days, but for now, in the here and now, we petition You with all our hearts asking You to avenge us – we dare not do the avenging ourselves but ask that You please by Your Very Own Hand strike down long-standing evil in America and give us an extended space of grace with signs and wonders to deliver the Saving Gospel to the few it would seem who are interested in turning from death to LIFE. I long to see You come and show us Your Kingdom on earth. Satan and those who do his bidding have corrupted this place until it is barely inhabitable for Your Children. It is only by Your grace that we can bear staying here. But since we are we desire to do some good and we desire to stand against and push back the darkness and the evil that is running rampant. Please help us submit to You and resist the evil. Please fortify us Holy Spirit. Fill us and engage us in the message of Salvation to every soul who desires to hear and be saved from the wrath that now is and is yet to come. Amen and amen in the name of Adonai Yeshua.
Romans 3:10-18 (NKJV) 10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. 12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.” 13 “Theirthroat is an opentomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”; 14 “Whosemouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” 15 “Theirfeet are swift to shed blood; 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways; 17 And the way of peace they have not known.” 18 “Thereis no fear of God before their eyes.”source

Hot Water. Not the kind you get into for this or that but the free-flowing kind that washes away the grime of the day and soothes tired achy muscles – a hot shower. I have said one of the greatest blessings of living here in America is a hot shower. I am grateful for every hot shower I get to enjoy. Epson Salt baths too.
And I am grateful for the Water of The Word. It washes the grime and soothes like nothing else. The Water of The Word is plentiful here in America. May it continue to be.
A few pics – no hot shower spigots available but I think you will enjoy these.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
