While We’re Waiting (and Waiting and Waiting…)

So I’m pretty tired of waiting and I’m sure you are as well.



I’m tired of reading depressing stories. I had some truly disturbing Naomi Wolf articles and videos about the impact of the Pfizer jabs on women and babies (that Pfizer knew about early on). I even downloaded the videos from Twitter so I could embed them in a post. I deleted them. I simply could not bring myself to share them here. I’m tired of bringing bad news.

Truth is, I’m just tired of it all. I try not to write or podcast when I’m kind of fed up and tired, but here I am. I never imagined things would drag on this long. I’m tired of reading depressing things. I’m tired of all the negative things happening. I’m tired of losing online readers and real-life relationships because people think I am stupid. I know I’m not alone. It’s all over social media like Gab and Truth Social and even Twitter. People are fed up, but no one is quite sure what to do because there is only one thing left to do and no one wants to do that thing.

Life is short and I don’t want to invest a lot of time tracking all the negative things right now. The years I have left with my daughter at home are short and I’d rather be making memories with her than trying to figure out what’s going on with (insert scandal or news story here).

So things may continue to be slow here for now. I’m giving myself permission to not post or podcast unless my heart is really in it. It feels like an endless treadmill of making very, very slow progress. For the people who do this as an actual job, that’s great. They are making a career out of tracking news. I’m not.

As always, keep an eye on the comments because I often do go back to posts and add more materials to them when I see them. I added more to the Prager post since I published it if you missed that.

I’m still taking time here and there to clean out the forums so I can be done with that. I don’t want to spend a lot of time on it though so many things will just get deleted. Some will get saved here as posts, but a lot will just go away.

So if something pops up that motivates me enough to write, I’ll share it and send out an email to let you know. I thought about starting a weekly post with an open comment thread where people could share and crowd source news items, but I’m not sure there would be enough interest to make it worthwhile. If that does interest you, let me know in the comments. I’m willing to do it, but there is no point if people only want to read and not share.

Anyway, how are you holding up? Are you feeling like what Clandestine wrote? I’m way beyond wishing for merely arrests. At this point and with the level of egregious crimes we’re seeing, arrests will barely even move the needle for me.

    I read this post of his yesterday, and it describes me perfectly. I am so tired of waiting for justice and vindication. It is wearying to the bones.

    But the reality is, we may not see justice this side of Heaven. So I personally am trying to figure out how to listen and process the news with that in mind.

    I would be happy to contribute to a crowd-sourcing thread should you choose to do so in the future.

    I always appreciate the news you share and your views, Sallie.

    I read that same post yesterday on Truth Social. I truly don’t think we will see all the justice we would like this side of heaven. Even though I wish we could see more justice on this earth. Satan currently believes he is winning. Ultimately, Jesus wins in the end and I try to keep that in mind knowing He will bring His justice on all these people.

    Volunteering and giving a hand-up to someone helps me keep eternity in mind and valuing the relationships I can. I can only listen to the Holy Spirit and take each day step-by-step. It’s the best I can do.

    I understand that we all need a break at times. It gets hard reading all the negative stuff. I comment when I have something to say. We do appreciate the things you put up. Thank you!

    Hi Sallie,

    Like others have written, I do not think we will see justice this side of Heaven. In fact, if one follows Israel – God’s timepiece, so to speak – in light of Bible prophecy, the world as it is now begins to make more sense.

    I would exhort you to look up, and not at the cliff the world (including the US) is racing toward.

    The unbelievers have been becoming, and it appears are now, a Romans 1 society. A largely Christ-rejecting people given over by God.

    The something that is really going on is that we are on the cusp of the rapture. Satan knows his time is short and he is on the prowl, influencing whole governments to implode.

    If I may offer some suggestions to gather more teachings – as it relates to the scam vaccines, but even more so, what in the world is going on from a Biblical worldview:

    JD Farag @ his website by the same name. Check out the prophecy updates.

    Tom Hughes @ Hope For Our Times

    Jan Markell @ Olive Tree Ministries

    Pablo @ Serpents and Doves on youtube

    Athey Creek on youtube (prophecy updates and through-the-bible teachings

    CJ Lovick @ Rock Island Books on youtube

    For encouragement:
    Tom @ Watchman River on youtube
    Watchman88 on youtube
    Tyler at Generation2434 on youtube
    Pete Garcia @ Rev310 on youtube (he also has a blog and website)

    God bless, Sister!

      Hi Jaime,

      Thank you for sharing the various links. I’m well acquainted with that theological position regarding the end times. I’m not convinced it is correct nor is my husband. We’ll see how things play out.

      One thing we can all agree on is that people need Jesus Christ as their Savior from sin and to be reconciled to God!

    Hi Sallie,

    I think he is very astute in his observations. I have been preparing for the worst, yet hoping for the best. BUT they just keep moving the worst even worser! 😉 The more evil that gets pointed out, I think, “They can’t ignore this!” Then they go right ahead and ignore it. It’s very disheartening. It was bad enough when authorities ignored crime and didn’t arrest the criminals. Now the authorities are arresting the good guys and laws are twisted to fit whatever crime they want to make up. If I did not have hope in Jesus, I would be in sad shape. Thanks for keeping on. I’m sure it takes a toll on you.

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
