Sound advice.. I definitely have been more intensely drawn to the Bible ever since the election happened...I cant even put it into words...I have always been a believer in Christ , but its just like something clicked back in Nov, like God saying “ok folks, time to get serious” and have been more or less studying at least an hour per day since and found a nice local church..
Also done with the MSM..No need to pollute my mind and depress myself with their liberal, Anti-American godless drivel...Newspaper subscriptions, CANCELLED...MSNBCS, all CNN networks, BET, MTV, channels-BLOCKED.. (Fox news is on the verge of finding my block list too, if they keep it up with the Obama crap...I mostly only like Hannity anyway, along with a few guests they have..)..Severely restrict my movie-going, Hollywood can take a flying leap.....Rush, Levin FR, and a few choice other sites are all I need to keep myself and family fully informed during this 4 yr fiasco...
Gonna be much more frugal as well... purchase practically everything used , preferably through private sellers in classifieds or Christian thrift.. no big ticket items..Deprive the Dems of as much sales tax revenue as possible...Its bad enough that they are gonna be jacking up the gas tax again.
Spend a lot more time hunting and fishing, even gardening to save some money, although I am pretty much clueless on that topic, lol, so add me to the gardening ping :)
Get back into my powerlifting and Boxing workouts, also read a lot..Sound mind, sound body, that type of thing..
There's great insight for us as 'rebuilders' of our burned and savaged nation, about perseverance and steadfastness in the face of fear from the enemy. Chapter 3 is a recounting of the names of everyone who helped build the walls and where they worked. Isn't that amazing that the little corner of the wall they helped rebuild is captured forever in the Good Book? It shows God cares about the little things we do to make a difference.
In Chapter 4, Nehemiah talks about how the laborers continued to build the wall while being under constant attack from their enemies, and how people worked with one hand holding a tool, the other holding a weapon. Chapter 5 is about the Jewish in-fighting and oppression that ensued amongst themselves during the rebuilding, and how Nehemiah handled it by calling the offenders out for their actions.
In the end, the wall gets rebuilt, without much Scriptural fanfare, but Nehemiah is clearly depicted as a true 'community organizer' of God and the stark contrasts of his leadership versus that of Obama's is quite apparent (particularly in Chapter 5, when he talks about his personal sacrifices for the poor). It's a good read. And I was encouraged. I think the message is that we're all supposed to be Nehemiahs, and we should be about the business of rebuilding the broken down walls of our own lives, whether the broken walls are in our selves, our families, our churches, our towns or ultimately, our country.
