The Gospel Of John, Chapter 4

This Easter season, I am presenting the Gospel of John. John tells the story of resurrection better than the others, and so it is logical to present his version of Christ as the focus is on the miracles, teaching, death, and resurrection of Jesus. 

So, without further ado, the Gospel of John: Chapter 4

I appreciate your coming to visit. I truly do. I ask but small favors:

First, pray for me. I am always in need of prayer.

If you like reading, I have four books I’ve written/edited/contributed to that are in need of purchase: ASSAULT ON SAINT AGNES, NICHOLAS OF HAITI, THE COVID QUARANTINE CANTINA, and REASONED RESILIENCY: A RATIONAL DEVOTIONAL FOR FIRST RESPONDERS

If you like the way this series sounds, I have a bunch of audio books available for purchase. They cover a wide range of topics. Some Christian, some very secular, most military thrillers, some science fiction and a book on keeping Kosher.  The language and stories are not always “G” rated, but they are some darned fine reads. You will find them at this link: Audible Works by Joseph Courtemanche.

Finally, look around the last few years of the blog and read some of the posts. If you like them, share them with others. 

See you tomorrow.

The Devil, You Say

Recent political activities in the United States, and Western Europe, have taken on a dark, dystopian flavor with those in power persecuting critics by imprisoning them, bankrupting them, or killing them.

The most egregious examples are here at home: the ongoing criminal prosecutions of Donald Trump are classic authoritarian state tactics to silence and eliminate political opponents. 

Say what you like about Donald J. Trump, but he never chucked his opponents in prison, didn’t tie them up in court, and didn’t try to destroy the followers of his opponents in smear campaigns labeling them as criminals and murders. Nope. He made fun of them at worst. 

But, currently, there is a creature in the White House who insists that about half of the population of our republic are hell-bent on destroying it because they disagree with him.

The long string of spurious prosecutions involving Trump and his associates is nothing short of Third-world demonic activity. Prosecutors bring cases because of who he is, not what he’s done. Judges won’t allow evidence into the case that might clear him, and in the latest unreal evolution, the judge seeks a penalty for a crime that didn’t happen. 

If Trump had not paid back his loans, or had truly suckered anyone into the financial dealing, he’d deserve some sort of punishment. But the judge was obviously trying to bankrupt the former president so that he couldn’t effectively run for office again.

Heap that in with New York state law being changed so that a 30 year old allegation of rape (from a woman who said rape is sexy, and has accused no less than a dozen others of the crime) would be allowed back into the court system long past the statute of limitations. Mind you, she couldn’t be sure of the day, the year, or … Well, all she was sure of was the dress she wore. A dress, it turns out, that didn’t go on the market until years after one of the many possible dates for this alleged sexual assault. She got millions in that judgement. Anyone else as the defendant would have been walking free before the first court session as it was a bogus case.

Now, in Atlanta, the prosecutor of the case turns out to be the lover of the DA, who paid him a gigantic wad of money. He wasn’t/isn’t qualified to try a case of this magnitude, and a strangely large amount of that money wound up paying for vacations with the DA. Yeah.

My point is, if you love this because you hate Trump, remember that if you can railroad one of the most powerful men in the history of the world in a vendetta like this, you are as nothing when the government chooses to crush YOU. 

Take a moment to think about all that is going on, and why it is reflective of great evil scorching our society. If you don’t object when your enemies are needlessly tormented, don’t wait for help when it happens to you.
