*warning, today’s blog is straight to a point, I even use some $20 words.

That was me manning the WWI battleship, the USS Texas docked in San Jancinto Battleground off the Houston Ship channel near Houston Texas.  The battleground at San Jancinto was the decisive battle in the Texas Revolution, led by Sam Houston over Santa Anna.

Are we as US citizens on the verge of another battle for freedom, where, enough is enough?   At what point do we believe the government is looking out for the genuine health of the populous.  Where do we draw the line between cooperation to have this contagion’s curve flattened to help the greater good, and when do we suspect the government is beginning to decide what is good, or not good for us, based on their own skewed ideologies, or worse, dictatorial control and power craziness?  Just when is enough, enough.

We are now dragging into day 22 of the 30 day ‘stay at home’ order.  At some point people have to go back to work.  When can we be sure we won’t get sick by going around a large number of people.  When can we know it is 100% safe to go to work, a concert, a movie, a restaurant, school, or most importantly to me, church.  We can’t 100% be sure, of anything.  When our movements are being restricted to the point that we need permission to leave our home for anything but essentials, then how far are we from an Orwellian society?  How far will the control continue?  Already, some governors have placed ridiculous restrictions on citizens.  Ticketing them for going to church, fining them, destroying tires in church parking lots.  Is this acting in an over abundance of caution, or is it something much more sinister?  I fear the later may be possible.  Are radical governors little by little discovering what they can, and cannot get away with?  Will citizens lie down in submission every time a new executive order on the state level is issued?  Will at some point people finally say “enough is enough, no more”.  When a governor says an abortion clinic is an essential business, but church attendance is not, folks, we are crossing that threshold.  A government cannot say it is concerned for the health of it’s citizens by curtailing school or church attendance, but then freely support keeping open a clinic that murders babies.  This is not concern for health and welfare.  This is power and control.  It is not only dangerous, it could be fatal.  It already is for the babies.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
