Into the Breech - a stone's throw back to the stone age?



This world is filled with phenomenal opportunities to see beauty and power. It is also a place where our passions can become inflamed so that the simplest of truths becomes overwhelmed with the cares of this world.

People are working on the newest wealth builder for this ... I'd say generation, but it's moving so fast, it's lasting 2 to 3 years at a time now. At the same time, the oldest institutions continue on in rock solid power and strength.

Am I the only one to see the irony? Vanity of vanities ... an earthquake, a natural disaster, a change from the heavens ... we can go back to the stone age at a moment's notice, with the majority of our social networking wiped out at the stone's throw of adversity. Are we prepared?

What is wealth for some is bondage for others. That, my dear people, is called bondage. We take things for granted that basically ensnare our creativity for life ... maybe not for society ... maybe not for financial gain ... maybe not for pleasure ... but for the vitality and power of life.
If not this generation, for the next, or our grandchildren's? Just like the debt our country is ringing up now, somebody will have to pay for it. Be aware, be wary ... the time will come when the debt will have to be paid.

I'll share more on this very shortly. I've been doing some research, making some observations, and putting 2 + 2 together. For most, it will not be of value. For those who care about their generation, and the generations to follow, I hope it brings pause to stop and think. Make your own conclusions. For me, God is in control, and I know where my salvation comes from.
The term putting your eggs in one basket is a metaphor that has great value. As we head into the breech ... life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness must be examined for a people to maintain dignity and freedom!

[EDIT, 2015: happiness, from life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness should actually be life, liberty and the pursuit of blessedness. The founding forefathers used happiness from the beatitudes, and the proper translation should be blessedness. How different would life be in this country if we actually strove to seek blessedness instead of happiness? More on this later.]
