If I Should Die Before I Wake


We finally broke the barrier, we had to see more than faces on a screen, touch more than a keyboard.

It was Mother’s Day.

We hugged and kissed and laughed and played and mom and grandma blew out a million candles on a cake, spewing germs all over the place…we ate the cake.

The whole time I was thinking; it was like we'd been dreaming. Now, it’s time to wake up. Get back to living. Not just surviving. But living.

We survived. 

It’s been days, and we’re still fine. We escaped the most dangerous part without a scratch (the car ride there and back, not covid-19).


Yes, I know, corona is a real thing. It’s a dangerous real thing. So is driving. Nearly 1.25 million people ​are killed in ​​car crashes each year. On average, that's 3,287 deaths a day. An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled. (Source: https://www.thewanderingrv.com/car-accident-statistics/)

We still drive. We get in, buckle up, obey the rules, and drive. When we’re at a red light, we wait. But, when it turns green, we go. To just sit there is more dangerous than moving.

We stopped on China-red.  We studied the new kid in town called corona. We paused the world to watch it move. We may have overreacted…but, that’s okay, better safe than sorry. We really had no choice; we followed the advice of those WHO were supposedly in the know. Perhaps, they led us astray, perhaps they had/have a hidden agenda.

They’ll eventually be exposed.

We just know, it’s time to go. Time to get up, get out into the light and start living again. Come to find out…that’s the best medicine. The virus hates being exposed to light. It can’t stand the heat.

It’s certainly been a great teacher.

Crisis doesn’t create character it exposes it.
  
Creativity and ingenuity have surfaced to spectacular levels; like transforming socks, bras and scraps into facemasks to converting warehouses into hospitals.

Conversely, greed & fear, have reared their ugly heads. Folks gobble stimulus checks, complain it's not enough and hoard more toilet paper than could be used in two lifetimes.

Worst of all revealed, was the character of those who should have been leading. At a time when axes should’ve been replaced with rolled up sleeves and shovels…folks were fined and arrested for taking walks, playing catch with kids, cutting hair, doing nails, fishing, kayaking, going to church, going to work. Main stream media looked the other way and social media gurus censored the dissenters.

Behind these acts against freedom are the bared, bloody, rotted, fangs and filthy talons of those overreaching with lust for socialistic power.

Actually, this behind the scenes evil is nothing new. The only thing new, is today. This day. This moment. The rest is the same. It’s an old evil…but, it’s and older Good. Remember, only a third of the angels fell with lucifer. That means two out of three are good. 

The Truth is, greater are those that be for us, than those that be against us.

The Truth is, we can heal, we can win, we can live. The virus, the greed, the fear, the demonic-rat infested socialistic left, cannot not stand exposure…cannot live in light.

The Truth is, the choice is ours.

The trouble is, some good people, nice people, peace loving people, are asleep. They snooze with evil because they covet freebees. Let me lay on the couch, watch television, drink beer and get a check. They follow leftist leaders straight to socialism because they like lazy. They only hear out-of-context talking points and read agenda driven headlines, without studying to know the facts. They say, “Lord, Lord,” say good words, go to church, do good deeds, but stand with those who openly do evil and would vote for the devil simply because it starts with a, D. They’ve become so deceived that if Jesus showed up in Person and endorsed President Trump, they’d deny it was Him and crucify Christ all over again.

Apathy atrophies mind & soul. 

Bottomline is, we’ll battle the evil, until God sends them all to hell. We may never see a change in the hard left lies and leanings of folks like, Pelosi, Schiff and Schumer. 

But those sleeping souls in the middle, our family, neighbors and friends, can make all the difference between night and day. Those lukewarm deceived; if only they’d wake. They're the hardest to reach, because they think they're right...as they stand soundly on the left. 

Let's unite in prayer for their eyes to be opened. 

Just think if their eyes were opened, collectively we’d shine a sin and virus killing light so bright every demonic-rat in the world would scatter. 

As a kid I used to pray 

"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; 
If I shall die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take"

 Now, I just pray we wake...before we die.

Thanks for this post. Much to think about for all of us. I like the words that Crisis doesn't create character it exposes it. Let us be salt and light at this time.

Wow! What a full of truth post. And I'm still searching for an alarm clock loud enough to wake the living dead. And it seems to have become worse because now they're tired of hearing the blaring of the evening news, and the morning news and everything in between.

Truth is if they would limit their news watching to once a day. Then get up off their backsides and read The Word, clean up their own garbage so they could catch a whiff and glimpse of the desperate time we've created for ourselves perhaps it would drive them in desperation to prayer.

I've noticed throughout the Word God allows people to have the desires of their heart so they can see how debilitating their desires are. But there will come an end to God's patience and His mercy and from the landscape it sure looks to me like we're closing in on the end of the age...a time when if you have any knowledge of God and the Word many will realize they've been left behind...and now to "enter in to fellowship with God" they will pay for it with their lives.

God gave Israel what they wanted and the Assyrians were sent to take them away. God gave Judah what they wanted and the Babylonians took them away. It's frightening to look at the list of prospective taker-awayers salivating ... waiting to take us away...and just in case I've not gotten your attention...no where in the Bible is America mentioned in those last days. Are you awake yet? Sorry Doug, your post really spoke to my heart.

Many are just plain old willfully ignorant. They hate the light and love the darkness. They take pleasure in unrighteousness.The cobwebs of hate have taken them captive to do their own thing and go their own way.
