Satan’s Good Intentions
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. That’s what dad always said. Maybe that’s because Hell is, in fact, the destination of “good intentions”.
By “good intentions” I mean mere good intentions… as in, when intentions are given greater priority than results.
Jesus said to the Church of Thyatira, “And all the Churches will know that I am the one who searches mind and heart, yet I render to each one of you according to deeds.” (Jesse’s translation from Greek.)
This was the Fifth of the Seven Churches Jesus addressed in the beginning of Revelation. To this Church, specifically, Jesus introduced Himself as the one with eyes like fire. To the Greek mind, that means that His sight pierces every shield and even brings about change.
So, Jesus sees everything. So what? you may ask. And that’s exactly His response: So what! He sees our intentions—every one of them. · · · →
Quoth the Raven: Nevermore!
It lends itself to endless tongue-in-cheek analysis. I couldn’t resist… (Bear in mind, some of this reflects more entertainment than actual opinion.)
Baltimore Ravens Safety, Bernard Pollard, says that, the way things are going, the NFL may not be in existence in 30 years. His comments seemed more bent around the “sissyfying” of the All-American “man’s” game.
It seems a lot of things have been commandeered by “Great Successors” these days…
North Korea is inching toward normalizing relations with their Southern kin. Talk about departing from a nation’s founding! Wow.
Apple’s root market feels alienated in lieu of Jobs’ departure, especially with all the talk of branching out toward “lesser quality” Apple products—DAH! Quality was why everyone raved over Apple before the 2010’s—an Apple without a “quality” buzz is like a bee without honey. STING! Maybe “bad Apple products” is just a rumor started in the Big Apple on Wall Street so someone could buy up bigger Apple stock at an even bigger discount. · · · →
Tear down that wall!
Flashback:
“Now, the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom.
We hear much from Moscow about a policy of reform and openness.
Some political prisoners are being released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from State control.
Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet State? Or are they token gestures intended to raise false hopes in the West or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it?
We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together—that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.
There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.
General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. · · · →
