Rudyard Kipling, during the siege of Mafeking in the Boer War, used to call his newspaper The Lyre, because the man knew how to joke.

Maybe it was an allusion to the harps of ancient Israel? And Kipling was quite the poet. Song was a way of keeping evil at bay.

Presumably the Lyre told the truth....

But yes, all go to judgment alike, and this mortal coil remains just that: mortal. Nobody expects it to be anything else, leastwise myself.

Those who gave themselves adamantly to evil will suffer the consequences. Those who let the Lord redeem them from evil will see a reward.

So I mourn when I see evil, and sometimes I burn with anger when I can actually do something, but I don’t give up the ship. And I get wry where necessary. Hotovely seems to be taking things a bit TOO seriously. Calm down, God never left the throne. The bible promises are, as always, the bible promises. Right now America seems to be in a process of trial, of showdown and separation between good and evil.
