  1. “When was the last time you were filled with joy?”

20 minutes ago while working on my farm and singing hymns to God.

  1. Quite a while. The prevailing attitude seems to be that it’s undignified.
  2. This morning, upon rising. (I have no dignity to maintain.)

I hardly witness anyone with smiles on their faces like I did in the past, there is a meanness to people now, maybe from the gene altering shots or whatever. but the Bible does teach us in the last day people will grow cold towards each other and hate one another and this is what we are witnessing now. sorry for the long answer but you can only go by what the Bible states would occur.
2. I get my joy from the Lord every day, but that does not mean I feel a sense of dread in my spirit for what Iam witnessing each and every day with the wickedness that surrounds us, but as David wrote in Psalms, my strength comes from the Lord, and in him I give praise and honor every day, either it be good or bad.

It has been years since I have seen anyone filed with joy. I believe 3 of the factors for the lack of joy can be attributed to first, the micro processor / iPhones that has made possible the 24/7 never ending conflict news availability. Second, the government eduction complex that teaches the destruction of the White culture of production and accomplished. Third, the 501C3 Christian churches that have embraced the LGBT mental illness coupled with the incorrect understanding of Romans 13.
It is really apparent that a large percent of the White culture has devolved to the point that they cannot even understand that allowing the invasion of millions of low IQ third world trash into America will destroy everything the White culture has accomplished. Who is $ John Galt?

It has been a long time for me. I get joy and happiness in my prayers and meditation, but the world holds nothing for me, if you do not own a sword sell your cloak and buy one.

1) since the whole stolen election my closest friends and family seem like they are filled with despair. Even the ones I didn’t expect it from.

2) I have a dubious relationship with “joy” and I can’t blame the election for that. I refuse to give up as long as there’s breath in my body.

Things this makes me consider:
If we are joyless, how does that reflect upon those around us? How does that reflect upon our Master?

I’ve got what appears to be troubles, but joy? yep today- I woke up to face it all with the good Lord’s help! I will smile and be pleasant while He does His work through me.

1. Sunday during worship — I think the entire congregation was full of joy. 2. I have been “training” myself to give thanks and find joy in small things: the fact the sun came up, our silly cattle dogs who think rolling around on us is a good wake-up, that first sip of coffee… I find that more beneficial then allowing myself to be disheartened by all that is happening. Oh, and I spend a lot of time engaged in prayer because right now, that is how we can fight.

Today, as a matter of fact. When I read that Hunters deal was dead, it brought a smile to my face. (7/26/23)
