Our Plans Can Be Thwarted.....In A Single Day

             The books are starting to come out on who republicans will pick for their nominee for president in 2024. It is legitimate speculation but probably with no bearing whatsoever on what would happen....if God wills that we even get there. I say this because we just can't ever seem to learn that things can happen in a single day that upend....not only the shoe-in campaign of a politician.....but...."the best laid plans of mice and men."
             For the quote, unquote.....'conservative'....it may make sense....as the 2022 midterm campaigns are almost here....but for the Christian it is a different story....as we more than anyone should know that we do not know what a day brings....but more than we just do not know....we certainly cannot boast of what we will do....and we should not even depend upon what we plan on doing....add to that....we have been forewarned that when people will  say....'peace and safety'....that sudden destruction comes.
            We have a calling....and that calling comes first.....not liberty for all....and freedom....and democracy. Of course this is all turned around today. To put it in terms of say a yearly spiritual planner.....we are booked until November of 2024....November of 2022 at the very earliest....by this I mean that repentance will have to wait. 
            There is a scene from the end of the 1999 film....The Winslow Boy.....where one main character....a female....looks at another main character....a male....and says....How little you know about women Sir Robert....and he responds....Oh, Do you really think so? How little you know men, Miss Winslow." That came to mind for I believe that the general consensus among people who know me....towards my continuous warnings of our spiritual somnambulance would be....How little you know about us Special Dog.....whereupon my response would follow....Oh, do you really think so? How little you know about God's warnings.
