I don’t dwell on it much in public, but I have suffered quite an ordeal over the last few years by refusing to bow to evil. My purpose in mentioning it is to make note of the many encouraging words I have had in private from strangers. Occasionally it has been just what I needed at a low point. It makes a difference.
What people see is my “witty upbeat beacon of clarity and encouragement” persona. Morale matters, and I resolutely refuse to moan or draw others down when I am in the dumps. That means keeping my personal woes and struggles pretty private. They don’t help the collective effort, but are part of my life nonetheless.
It really is true that you have no idea what battles other people have off-stage (OMG!!!). Conversely, you may not realise the positive impact of a few kind words behind the scenes. If my experience is a guide, everyone “notable” in the fight is in a similar place. Family, health, daily life — common setbacks still hurt.
Stay human(oid) and WWG1WGA!
Martin Geddes, you tell us that you "refuse to bow to evil."
May God continue to bless and protect your heart, your vision,
your ever-expanding wisdom.
The past years have been agony! We are vilified, mocked, scorned, shunned, spat at -- for trying to tell the TRUTH.
This agony, in turn, becomes a transformative blessing.
As we all REFUSE to bow to evil, our Spirits grow STRONGER.
"You fight a spiritual war by a constant vigilance against wickedness, which seeks to predate the young, so it is never over. Deceit, divide, and conquer is the enemy’s method.
"Unity, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, and love are the only way out from the conflict."
~ Martin Geddes, WWG1WGA: Four Years Of War
GOD BLESS YOU, MARTIN GEDDES.
