“Who doesn’t call a dork like that back?”

Michael has asked Pam and me to dinner at least nine times. And every time we’ve been able to get out of it. But I’ve got to give him credit. He got me.

She’s right. How do we know we can trust him?

The mark of the godly man is he likes to change. The mark of the godly man is he says, ‘Lord, show me where I should change, and I’ll do it. Show me where I should obey, even where it’s hard, and I’ll do it.’

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word; just to rest upon His promise; just to know, thus saith the Lord.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him, how I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er, Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more.

"My gun will protect me from the government takeover." Someone who doesn’t realize what a trillion dollar budgeted military stocked full of tanks, nukes, drones, rocket launchers and every other weapon known to man can do.

The point is not that you can win pitched battles against a modern professional military with all its weaponry as a ragtag citizen’s militia with small arms. The point is that you can fight.

You can bleed them. When the US Army come patrolling through your neighborhood, you might be able to take a few of them with you. Hell, you might be able to run away and do it again and again- theoretically, you wouldn’t be alone, and they couldn’t possibly engage in endless manhunts for every single person who dared to resist them. And they’d never feel safe, with the possibility of a sniper behind every window.

Of course the Army could call in artillery and air support to just level your neighborhood. What would this get them? Well, it would piss off a lot of people off when innocents die, and play into the hands of the rebels. It would make a lot of soldiers in the professional military seriously consider whether they were doing the right thing or not, whether they were on the good guys’ side. And finally, it would simply kill innocent people, and nobody wants to rule over a nation of corpses.

The aim of a tyrant is to control, not to kill. What they want is to be able to have militarized police point guns at people and cow them into submission to whatever dictates they might want to impose. If those people are instead waiting behind their doors and ready to shoot first when the jackbooted thugs come around, they’ve already failed.

So the point is to fight. If you resist, you’re not being controlled, and you’re also undermining attempts to control others who can’t or won’t fight; you might die, of course. That’s more or less why Patrick Henry famously said “Give me Liberty, or give me Death!”

As long as people can resist, they can be free, and tyrants can never succeed. But when you’re talking about people who have no firearms using swords and knives and clubs against modern military weapons it actually becomes pointless, because you can’t bleed them at all- they’ll just gun you down.

That’s why having guns is so important.

young married christian blogger: Guys. I get it. Singleness is SO tough. I’ve been there! During those 6 months in 8th grade before meeting my wonderful soulmate (jared the sexiest hubby in the world :):):) ) I was so alone. It’s a season of life that just knocks you off your feet, doesn’t it?! Haha. I’ve been there ladies. So if you’re 25 and have a crippling fear of being alone, WAIT ON GOD’S TIMING. His timing was conveniently perfect for me so I guess I just feel like I am the appropriate person to give you advice :) By the way, we’re expecting!!!!!!!!!

When I was a very small child, my mom used to bury coins in my sandbox, leave huge boot prints in the sand, and tell me pirates had come in the night and buried treasure. I would be out there happily for hours, with my little sieve, and my mom got a quiet morning to herself for the price of a handful of pennies.

I was always kind of skeptical about Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy, because visiting every kid in the world did not seem reasonable. But the pirates only visited me, so they were probably real.

So that’s the story of how I ended up being an archaeologist. How about you?
