He drank the last of the coffee from the pot sitting beside the fire. If that fool don’t get back here soon, we’re goin’ to be hurtin’ for coffee. I don’t think there’s enough left to make even one pot. He better get back here today, ’cause he knows what I’m like if I don’t get my coffee.”
–C. Wayne Winkle (Reno Gates)
Pard, I made the coffee extry strong this mornin’ for what I’ve got to tell yuh. Go ‘head, take yur first swaller, the a deep breath. My mercy, some of the things I’ve read this week is beyond common sense, but then I don’t understand much these days nohow.
Here’s the first one. “Gen Z is getting ‘tramp stamps’ to feel more empowered.” Goodness, why not just develop some backbone. Empowered?? What does that mean? It will give you the ability to get up for work? It will give them ability to stick to a job? Maybe, this is it, Pard, it will help them become a contributor to society. Just a little tattoo will add to your mental and physical strength. Deception! I will never understand the attraction of a tattoo, and I just don’t know why a person would want to put graffiti on the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Tolt yuh, we needed the coffee strong this mornin’. Here’s one that’ll frizz yur hair. Get yurself another swaller. Pard, yuh tell me–tell me why four women sittin’ on with those long black robes on in the high court would want to vote to keep that heinous Venezuelan gang in the United States. The five men upheld the President’s rulin’, but the women said they could/should stay. Don’t make no sense for sure. Those women aren’t interested in justice nor in protecting the public. Yuh know, Pard, when I read Jeremiah, Amos, and the other prophets, one thing is clear – makin’ the judgment of God necessary. That is the perversion of justice and the corruption of the legal system and purpose. Sure, it was not the only thing but it is on the list.
Here’s the last one, that’s enough for today. That’s plenty for any day. Take another deep swaller. Oh, yuh need yur cup filled up first. Here yuh go, now slurp away. Number three for this week. “Nextgen Sexuality”, a webinar about gender confusion and what to do about pronouns. My mercy, this was under AG Youth Ministries. Pard, we’ve come a long way an’ I’m ‘fraid it ain’t upward. Why, right off’n the bat yuh can see it’s about confusion. I tell yuh, Pard, God is not the author of confusion, to quote the ol’ Apostle. Ol’ Slewfoot is that bein’, confusin’ the mind, confusin’ the life, confusin’ the truth. Pard, if’n there’s confusion around be lookin’ for the ol’ devil.
One more thing Pard since the pot is empty, and we’ve got to be on our way. Stick to the doctrine of the Bible, don’t be led ’round by the nose and don’t be puttin’ no ring in it for someone to be grabbin’. Many out there fit the bill–their thinkin’ became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened; claimin’ to be wise, they became fools. Pard, drink yur coffee strong, keep yur mind on the Word, yur gun oiled, and check yur cinch and yu’ll be on the way to a good week. Don’t be waverin’ or even totterin’.
Vaya con Dios.
