I’VE HAD SIMILAR THOUGHTS. China Is Preparing to Start a War with America

“China is on the clock. Today, it is formidable, with a sophisticated and capable military. The Chinese may be able to win a confrontation, even a war, with the United States. Under Obama’s policy of surrender, China had a chance of overtaking us economically while growing its military until its primacy was a fait accompli. But Trump killed that dream with his trade war, exposing the inherent weaknesses of the Chinese economy. And should the aftermath of the pandemic play out without interference, China’s position in the world will be irreparably damaged.”

YOU KNOW HIS MUSIC. RIP BILL WITHERS (1938 – 2020). Bill Withers, Who Sang ‘Lean on Me’ and ‘Lovely Day,’ Dies at 81 I still think his original of “Lean on Me” was the best rendition among all the covers that inevitably followed. That song, in particular, reminds me of Galatians 6:2, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can’t carry
I’m right up the road
I’ll share your load
If you just call me

CHURCHES GONNA CHURCH. Should Churches Violate Shutdown Orders? The Answer Is More Complicated Than You Might Imagine. It is complicated and I have my concerns about any authority getting the chance to tinker with top-down control. But, for now, the right thing to do is cooperate with society and help stop the virus.

“Many churches—I dare say most—after weighing their options, have decided to obey the commands to love their neighbors by doing what they can to halt the spread of the virus and are submitting to stay-at-home orders issued by the governing authorities.”

NANCY PELOSI DIDN’T KNOW WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT. IN FACT, MOST POLITICIANS DON’T. OUR BETTERS AREN’T REALLY BETTER.
