Mercy's Child
In Blessing
The infinitesimal standpoint is the worry for two hearts beating
No amount of tapping will still now
The overreach brings harbingers to the equator
The clouds bring a comet shining
The march is on oh future's parting
In the darkness of the night given the platform splits for none
The mighty surface is the soundstuck between mercy's child and you
The dismal few who see no further than the end of their nose are no more
The honor guard forgot it's service
All the mayhem went out to play and reintroduced itself to the mirror in the corner
Middle earth now grows stronger
After picking at the vessels two by two
*
Dedicated to Thomas, my nephew, who was one of two teenagers mugged for money and viciously attacked and stabbed multiple times on his birthday. He is alive and on the mend by God's hand. Many thanks to all the Prayer Warriors, 300 and growing, who are praying for him.
Love, 'ol Aunt Lisa ;)

What is Vladimir Putin's new plan to destroy NATO?
As the war in Ukraine continues, it's become apparent that Putin's ambitions extend beyond Ukraine, with NATO being a key barrier to Russia's expansion plans. 🕵️♂️🌍 Before invading Ukraine, Putin approached NATO with three hard boundaries: prevent NATO's expansion near Russia's borders, remove weapons deployed near Russian borders, and dismantle NATO bases in countries that joined after 1996. 😠📜 Putin's not just trying to push NATO around; he wants to destroy it completely! And how does he plan to do that? By constantly threatening to go to war with NATO countries, especially with the whole nuclear weapons card. ☢️😱 Imagine this: Russia decides to launch an attack using its military bases in Kaliningrad and Belarus. They could create a wall between Poland and Lithuania, effectively cutting off the Baltic countries from the rest of Europe. Sneaky, right? 😏 While the integration of Sweden and Finland into NATO has complicated Russia's plans, Putin may still rely on Russia's willingness to sacrifice its soldiers in a war of attrition against NATO. 😢💀 Russia is also exploiting the unequal military spending among NATO countries and the possibility of the U.S. leaving NATO if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election. 😈🤷♂️ Putin's been using the threat of nukes to keep NATO countries from helping Ukraine too much. It's all part of his "reflexive control theory," which is basically just a fancy way of saying "I'm gonna scare you into doing what I want." 🤐☢️ Economically, Russia has managed to surpass its growth projections despite numerous sanctions, largely due to shifting its export strategy to China and central Asia. But Russia's been hit with more sanctions than a kid with a fake ID trying to buy beer. 🍺❌ Russia's actions have led to a noticeable shift against global trade, with the U.S. and China drifting apart economically. If this trend continues, the world may revert to a Cold War-like economic structure. 📉💰 While Putin's plans face significant challenges, such as Sweden and Finland's accession to NATO and the uncertainty of U.S. politics, the threat to NATO's unity and effectiveness remains a concern as the war in Ukraine continues. 😤🤬

Can You Drive a Ford Fiesta Through a Desert?
I’m flying down the B1 highway from Windhoek to Keetmanshoop with a map and a boot full of camping gear. I’m excited for the first stop of my Namibian road trip: the Quiver Tree Forest. I spot the sign and turn onto the C17, off the tarmac and onto the gravel. I’ll be there soon; it’s only ten miles or so. I am unprepared for what comes next. The car slides and slips across the road. I am not fully in control anymore. I slow to a crawl. The car judders and shudders, the noise deafening, the vibrations rattling the teeth in my skull. It takes me around an hour to drive the ten miles. I arrive at the campsite relieved to be in one piece, even if it feels like all my bones have been shaken slightly out of place. I will later learn that this is what happens when the gravel road becomes “corrugated”, and that the roads authority goes round once a week to “grade” them. Seems I arrived about 6 days after the grader had last been round.
