Two Forces Are at Work

 

 Even the wind knows. "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." John 3:8

Two forces seem at work at all times. One says, "That is the way it is, has always been, and will ever be, no matter what everyone says at the moment."

The other one says, "We must change everything, because tradition has held us back, blinded us, chained us, and imposed horrible punishments against us - like the Four Freedoms."

The Creation Garden is apolitical, since it is under divine management and only knows the engineering built into it, since "All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made." (John 1:3)

The birds have packed their bags and left for more suitable weather, because that is what they always do. The invention of the hummingbird feeder has kept more of them in the States, but most other birds are snowbirds elsewhere, though called "winter residents" by those with more sensitive feelings. Yes, I heard a snowbird say, "We are not snowbirds. We are winter residents." 

If the process of correction continues at this pace, where everyone is attacked by anyone who is woke, I will be almost perfect in a few decades.

People are in a state of wonder and almost inert at the idea each plant has its own schedule, strengths, weaknesses, and demands. Daffodils will do everything needed when planted in the fall, except rise above the soil and bloom. The bulbs form roots, swell up with moisture, and send the flower toward the surface, only to wait out winter. Depending on the variety, the flower will finish its work and bloom in the spring, then work on doubling the bulb beneath the soil.

Lutheran leaders saw how much fun the other denominational bosses were having, tossing away the mildewed and cobwebbed past, welcoming the insights of Marxists, Universalists, and anarchists, as long as the bishops and their acolytes were obeyed, honored, and well paid. One cleverly forced Fuller Seminoids on the rest of his district while maintaining the strength of tradition in his own parish. Likewise, he stole back the property and funds of a parish after expelling it and giving it freedom years before.

The only problem with the new order is that nothing bears the stamp of Creation, the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, or the Faith of Christ. Nothing works anymore and each denomination is like a used car that only has motion when pushed to a steep hill, crashing near the bottom.
