Gotcha - I just don’t like internet warriors slinging arrows about, while sitting in the apparent safety of their own home. Seems to me that one ought to post as though they are talking with the big fellow on the adjacent barstool and temper their words accordingly.
This is a difficult situation.
The farmer, as best as I can see, takes the Scripture and its admonitions quite seriously, which is exactly what the Lord God wants.
What the Lord God also wants, however, is some seasoning of grace in dealing it back out. Methinks something essential from the divine spice cabinet is still lacking in the farmer’s recipe. And it has way too much vinegar. Been there, done that, myself. It makes a body rather touchy.
It’s frustrating in this context. We all want a good conservative to succeed and not be pulled down by lesser company or be compromised by wrongdoing. Yet the party mechanism appears necessary to deal with. I could pull out parallels with the earthly life of the Lord, but not now. Sarah will not literally walk on water. We should not expect that. We should expect that Sarah pulls the party discourse upward rather than letting the plebeian mud drag her downward.
I, personally, think she will do the former. Let’s watch.
