Two-Pronged Effort

As I peruse my Google Reader, which keeps blowing past 1000 with ugly regularity, I am struck by the climate of doom and gloom.  If we keep in mind our ultimate goal (eternal life with Christ), then a two-pronged effort is the only way to proceed.  All this outrage needs to be channeled into productive activity, both personal and public.  

Do we need to get active to oppose the forces of darkness?  Absolutely.  We need to educate ourselves and our friends.  We need to donate money, and volunteer for the few good people running for public office.  But the second prong demands that we understand our relationship with our Lord and Savior.

Listen to my favorite Redneck and take to heart what he is saying: 
Let's Get Off Our Collective Ass!

Yeah, that was crudely put. Tell me I'm an uncouth fink, I don't care.

Our elected representatives have passed a law that is very, very bad. Not only is it bad in the normal sense of we can't possibly pay for it, and the increase in taxation and deficit spending will do long term harm to our economy - it's bad in that it has opened the door for all of us to material cooperate with evil by using tax funds to pay for abortions. read the rest

Per Prong 1: Use the unemployment to our advantage: get your kids out of public school - hurts the NEA and DNC and will show Washington we're not as dependent as they think we are. We can spend the summer educating and networking to get our kids back.
(you can tell what I've been blogging about today:)
Per Prong 2:
This is bad for the United States to be sure, but don't forget what Jesus said, from Luke 21:24

"And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."

Fill your lamps with oil - tell your friends to get ready 'cause the King is Coming!

Thanks for the referral.
We gots lots of 'splainin' to do...and we better get on our knees, get those rosaries going (or whatever prayer you believe in), fast and repent.
The darkness is upon us.
Wake up, America!
