Well this is going be a simple post.
(Well I thought it would be when I started writing.)
I left work early, and was looking forward to writing a post. Decided to take the Peakd platform out for a spin. First time creating a post using it's platform. Must say I like the set-up.
Work was busy, which is the norm ever since this plandemic hit. It's nice to see things opening up again. (Check out my post on a cute little park that was just reopened)

Despite my past feelings towards our governor. I'm pleasantly surprised at how she's dealt with the situation. We're still in the middle of it, and only time will show her true intentions. Here's giving her the benefit of the doubt.
It's unfortunate to speak that way of an elected official. Yet lately it's becoming necessary. All over the world distorted agendas are becoming more and more clear. Though there were a few who were warning us before hand.
Lately I find myself giving thanks for things, that I might not have considered earlier this year. Despite having started this year off newly single and seriously ill. I continued this year looking forward to what new opportunities this year would bring.
Over the years I've sorted out my news sources, filtering out the crud. So I knew something weird was coming. No way of predicting this mess, but I did a decent job of preparing for what I could. It's so hard today to find reliable, trustworthy, and competent sources of information.
Though it's tempting to just ignore the mess all together. I've learned that ignorance isn't always Bliss. Though being aware, in a world of ignorant bliss can be mind splitting.
I say that because there several people devoting their lives to fighting the confusion. They're not always right, but their hearts are in the right place.
I've noticed more and more people speaking on topics. That even a few months ago, would have left people staring at me like I had only one eye. Like it or not there's a lot of confusion in our world, and the evidence is there that it's intentional.
The misinformation has well meaning people arguing with friends, family, and coworkers. Completely distracting their attention from the source of their discontent. People throwing the right darts, but at the wrong targets.
1 Corinthians 13 verse 1 says: Though I speak in the language of men and angels, but I have not Love. I am merely a resounding gong or a banging symbol.
It doesn't matter if what you are saying is 100% factual. It wouldn't even matter if you could say it in every language that exist. If there was no love in you, when you said it. It was just noise.
I've had to do a lot of soul searching lately. When this whole plandemic started. I found myself befuddled as more and more people were coming up to me somewhat emotional. Speaking on subjects that several months ago they had no attention span to discuss. I even wondered if maybe they were better off in their recent state of Bliss. I watched them as they discussed their newly acquired perspective. They looked stressed, annoyed, maybe somewhat ill. Was this what I'd been trying to accomplish, when I myself had tried to discuss the topic.
It wasn't. I too was processing the information. Looking back I wonder if I was speaking out of Love or frustration.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part [for our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete]. But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away.
1 Corinthians 13 verse 9-10.
There's really no way of knowing 100% of what's happening in our world. We'll never reach that point, and we'd probably go insane trying.
Whenever I listen to a speaker. The questions I find myself asking are the following:
Where is their heart.
What's their motive.
Are they competent, and are they associated with reliable people.
I wasn't expecting to go this direction in this post. Yet it was something sitting in my heart. There's nothing wrong with questioning a narrative. Different perspectives give us a stronger base from which to get our own understanding.
