Amen brother! Some of the best things about all of this is meeting good, God-loving neighbors and patriots like you and the countless people who've leave indelible impressions upon us for good. You speak truth in a to way some may find hard to accept. But without those the Lord has placed in each time with such a gift from Him, we'd be like sheep without a shepherd wandering among wolves who'd love nothing more to tear us apart and devour us.

It's best we each pause when we hear what may seem hard at first to see if what God's messenger is saying is for us. "Test everything. Hold onto what is good." Most everything I've read that you've written is good and we need to listen to. Then give thanks to the One over all who not only loves us and laid down His life for us... but also loves us enough to correct and encourage us. He knows we are all weak in some ways, but He is strong and our Defender. We don't need to be afraid.

Anyway, thank you for what you write and do, Chris.
