Here I am in my car all alone at night. I'm on my way home from an undisclosed place and listening to a mix of songs I created on a CD that I labled "Good Ol Fashion Music". I'm so relaxed listening to Gordon Lightfoot as I'm driving and reflecting on life during this solo time. I had an itch to listen to some Willie Nelson so I skipped a few songs and made it to the song "poncho and Lefty". The intro to the song isn't all that great, but I left it. As soon as the song really started it was like my life was flashing before my eyes. Honest truth I felt like I was about to cry. It was like the inner child in me was yearning to come out again. I don't mean the running around hyper child in me, it was the innocence of the child in me. I cranked the music loud, and laid my head against the head rest and took in this song as I drove. When a person reaches their inner child they can be quick to realize this world really has gone crazy. It had nothing to do with the lyrics, but more so an X factor that I can't explain I guess. The moment felt perfect and I didn't want the drive to end, I didn't want the night to end, and I didn't want the song to end. I started thinking about what a wonderful culture we live in, and the wonderful talent that can be unleashed because of our God given freedom. Then all of a sudden I began thinking about all of the crap in North America that has been going on and the freedoms that we have are a stake and under attack by people in our own governments, and by people in our own country after so many lives have been lost to keep our freedom from vanishing. Then I just thought to myself with anger "fuck you all!". I fought to forget about that stuff during this moment cause I just wanted to enjoy the moment like I was in a day in age where life made sense. The thing is my life never made much sense since day one. I think that when a grown man reaches the innocence of a child state, but fearless as a veteran soldier, but fearful of the Good Lord, then you have a man like no other. You have yourself a warrior. We all need to stand on Guard for the land that the Good Lord gave to us. World War 1, and World War 2 is proof that God didn't raise a bunch of pussies in Canada and the United States. We are individual countries, but we are as two cubs born from a Lioness (England). We are brothers and we need to look out for each other. Sure one brother grew to be stronger and ready for battle at any moment, and the other is larger, but is known for more peaceful approaches. In the beginning (The War of 1812) it was like we were two young brothers fighting, but of course we grew up and we came to terms with each other and became best of friends. As long as we work together and always realize that the God of the Bible is our Father then we will never fail. Psalm 72:8 historically is Canada's foundation. I don't believe that God will ever change His mind. God will never start something that He can't finish, and I believe that Canada will once again be known as God's land despite what the illusion is portrayed as. God has claimed Canada and the United States as His land, and I don't think He is about to let his prized possession go. Sure there will be turmoil, there will be many bad things to happen in this land of North America. We haven't exactly been following God's word, so yes I believe that bad things can and will happen, but it's not like a person has to do something bad in order for something bad to happen to them. No one really knows why anything bad happens to anyone. Yes there is such thing as the end times, but what if I told you that I believe that North America will stand for Jesus as a whole in the last days? If you read Psalm 33:12-22 you will find that God is rather happy when He is a nations heritage. All of North America's heritage is that of Jesus. Look, an extreme atheist won't sacrifice his/her life that easily because this life is everything that person has, where as the true strong Christian believes this life is not the end conclusion and the real true life starts only after this life. I believe that most sacrifice in the last days will be from Christians once again to preserve our Christian heritage. Is being a Christian an automatic ticket out of fear, I can't say that this is true what so ever. I do however believe that much sacrifice has to do with knowing with absolute certainty that weather you live or die everything will be OK in the end. You do however have a duty to protect this land that God has given to you. The Bible says that if you sacrifice your life for a friend that it's very honorable. When people think the Bible says that men that die at war shouldn't have a good burial, I think they're reading it all wrong (correct me if I'm wrong), but I believe it's saying (with the right translation) that there is no burial good enough for someone that dies at war. Anyway, I really trailed off on this one. Thanks for reading my blog.
