He walked to the fire and tried some of the coffee out of their pot. Usually they made fair coffee, but tonight it wasn’t fit to drink… He sipped a little and turned the cup upside down.”
–Elmer Kelton (Captain’s Rangers)
Come on in, Pard. Yep, yuh caught me shakin’ my head. Pard, just how fruity can these fruitloops get? My land, they’ve put a whole new spin on the ol’ Sage Solomon’s words, “There is a time for everything.” I was watchin’ a clip from that cowboy blogger, Chad Prather, and on it was this “wonder” sayin’ that “queer and trans people actually experience time completely differently from cis-het people? It’s a concept called queer temporality.” Oh, an’ I had to google what in the world is “cis-het”.
Oh man, sorry Pard, I didn’t mean for yuh to spurt out a mouthful of coffee. No worry, it’ll clean, there’s no varnish on that table to be worryin’ about. But I understand… Do folks sit around dreamin’ these things up, or do they eat enchanted mushrooms to illuminate what little brains they have? Pard, there’s still a drop on yur chin…
More an’ more I see what Paul meant when he said that the Lord will send a great delusion. Why, half the folks now are in that stage; it wouldn’t take much more to push them on over into never-never land, or maybe it should be wonder-wonder land, the land that time forgot. Yuh think it’s bad now with all the nonsense and foolishness and chicanery, it’s hard to imagine what it will be like after the saints are taken on up to glory.
Ahh, good coffee, an’ see I didn’t spill a drop. Don’t know if yuh look at social media much, but I see more an’ more junk regarding new and/or personal interpretation of the Bible. Woe, that is dangerous pard. That’s like sleepin’ next to an ol’ rattler hopin’ yuh won’t roll over on him in the night. Those folks are addin’ to the visions and dream, and what the Spirit has already laid out for us. Mostly I think it’s ’cause they want to feel high and mighty ’bout themselves with their new revelations. Why I saw where one preacher said that there needs to be a third testament. One that fits our culture. What she really meant one that fit her agenda and lifestyle and morals and ethics.
Whooeee, ol’ Pecos Bill would have trouble ridin’ some of the lyin’ broncs out there. Yuh know, I’ve been studyin’ Proverbs, and my oh my, there’ a lot in those words regarding the use of the mouth. Liars and shysters…we know who their father is. Yep, ol’ slewfoot hisownself. Imagine wantin’ to have the devil as a father. Goodness the extent fools will go to…
Well, Pard, yuh be sure to speak the truth. Do it with yur mouth and with yur life. Yur actions speak loud, so watch what yuh be a-doin’. Have yurself a week, remember it’s one the Lord has given yuh so be using it wisely and for His glory. Yep, yur right, that includes checkin’ yur cinch. Why some youngster may be a-watchin’ an’ if’n he sees a grown up not doin’ what’s right he might get some ideas of his own that ain’t plumb proper.
Vaya con Dios.
