Coffee Percs

He poured a tin cup almost to the brim with steaming coffee and held it high as enticement.”

Howdy, Pard.  Do yuh realize that we are now, this very day, startin’ on the second half of the year.  My mercy, where did the first six months go?  The heat of summer is now here, and we’re starting on the wanin’ side of the yearly cycle.
       How ’bout that coffee this mornin’?  Is it to yur likin’?  Lots goin’ on in the world.  People aren’t satisfied, and if’n they were, they wouldn’t know about it as they’re too occupied with themselves.  I was doin’ some readin’, and the more I read, the more I see that folks are downright imbecilic.  Why, people clamor for freedom and liberty and yet they open themselves up to more and more state control.  Talk about delusional.
       Go ‘head, take a sip, an’ I’ll tell yuh a few things I’ve discovered.  Yuh know, with all of this AI stuff, and digital control, and hackers, and scams, why we could all go crazy with the digital age.  I see where in September of this year that the EU is requiring “digital identity wallets” and the projection is that 80% of Europe will be registered by the year 2030.  Yep, Big Brother will be followin’ yuh around wherever yuh go.  
       With all of the shenanigans they’re trying to pull a person soon will not be able to speak the truth, or they will only be able to speak the truth as the powers-that-be say what the truth is.  Listen, Pard, if’n yuh don’t realize it, the fight is on–there’s a fierce war ragin’.  “Digital fingerprints” for the purpose of determinin’ the truth or falsity of a statement.  Digital information connected to yur bank account and if’n yur one that is not in agreement with what is bein’ said, yur account can be frozen (shades of the coming government of the Antichrist).  WHO is requirin’ everyone to have COVID certification.  There is digital trackin’ on those who say things that indicate they are dissatisfied with the government and with leadership–yep, Big Brother is goin’ to monitor yur speech, gone is the 1st Amendment.  The UN will begin to police anyone who uses “hate speech” and they will be the ones who determine what it is.
       As Brother Paul wrote Timothy, “but know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.”  Did yuh get that?  “Know,” for a fact, it is certain–perilous times are comin’, and are even upon us.  Why, Pard, I won’t doubt that if yuh don’t drink a cino, and only the straight, strong coffee, yuh’ll get on their list.  Sure glad I wasn’t born no later than I was.  Now, Pard, I only spoke of some digital issues that are on the horizon.  I didn’t say a word about the racism that is so apparent that folks hide from it.  Why, from what I see, the folks that holler “racism” are the biggest racists, and the most selfish.  Then we have that group of folk that Brother Paul tells us about in Romans 1, those who flaunt an immoral lifestyle.
       Yep, Pard, confusion, and we know the devil is the author of that.  That’s why we need to guard the words of the Bible, why they need to be in our heart.  That’s why we need  to be ready for the comin’ of the enemy, and the comin’ of the Lord.  Pard, that’s why yuh need to be checkin’ yur cinch, so yur not fallin’ on yur head when yuh need to be sittin’ tall in the saddle.
        Vaya con Dios.
