Demons’ Must Find a Home or Perish; they cling to Fools like Dung
Life’s full of opportunities, chances to Connect and reward Glad-Tidings. Yesterday morning an opportune young lady reached-out to us for a Good-Cause; her voice carried a message, “Drug Abuse Resistance & Education (DARE).”[1] I’m afraid we haven’t spoken enough on Drug-Abuse and Gangs, maybe the topic is too close to home. Being a former drug abuser has its pitfalls. Mobs of all sorts attach themselves to addicts; Satan himself is addicted to their surroundings.
Once freed from the Perils-of-Addiction another battle begins. Our former Running-Mates attach themselves in Silent-Retaliation to whomever is closest; Demons’ must find a home or perish. Their targets vary far and wide. Lured by seductive Parties, Places and People they cling to fools like Dung. Beware Brethren, Loved ones are first to be attacked, some even want to fill our Soiled-Shoes!
“But you, our God, are good and true, slow to anger, and governing all with mercy. For even if we sin, we are yours, and know your might; but we will not sin, knowing that we belong to you. For to know you well is complete righteousness, and to know your might is the root of immortality.
For the evil creation of human fancy did not deceive us, nor the fruitless labor of painters, a form smeared with varied colors, the sight of which arouses yearning in a fool, till he longs for the inanimate form of a dead image. Lovers of evil things, and worthy of such hopes are they who make them and long for them and worship them.” (Wisdom 15:1-6 NABRE)
Peace, Love, and Dope was a sign of Drug-Use in the Sixties and Seventies past that’s never gone away. Nowadays Heroin’s made its way into the Suburbs in exchange for Crack & a running mate for Speed. Legal Pot-Growers have sprouted under a cover of Medical-Marvel and legal Pills are just a click or two away. Give them Life dear Lord; continue to expose their Roots-as-Evil, Amen.
