In the last post, I shared a story about a manager that SAFO'd bigtime!
Last time I checked up on him, his LinkdIn still showed him as a beach bum in FL. I wonder if he ever made it beyond that? Maybe he is just living the dream. I do not wish him ill. I am actually grateful for the opening of my eyes to the intensely intense power of prayer and how God really does have the backs of those who do not falter in living a life modeled after His Son (at least attempting to). I do not subscribe to Jesus as the weakling hanging emaciated on the cross. I picture power in that event - precisely as I would have called uncle just in the hearing of what it all entailed, let alone in the enduring of just a sliver of what was endured.
Where ever I have gone, I have had to put up with a massive load of crap - and it always has to do with the Law of Chastity. That particular Law is a real humdinger. The implications are far-reaching as we are allowed to partner with the very God of Heaven to supply the clay vessels in which His children can come into to receive physical bodies. What a PRIVILEGE!! What a landmine! It is easy for me to look back on it all fondly as a 59 year old with waning T levels, but what a fight it was to keep it all in check when the hormones were a raging... Without a doubt, the most difficult commandment ever given to man. I mean, go figure. Give them enough T and drive so that they would literally kill for "it" as David found out, but a commandment to keep that all tamped down and under control while it consumes a guy pretty much every second of every day until he has a poor wife he can unload on and get some relief.
So, to put a damper on the "booty calls", the hook-ups, the ONS scenarios, is all pretty much too much for many folks - and some are driven with the need to kill to get the hated messenger out of their way. John the Baptist messed around - and found out. Nothing like having your head served on a platter... All because of one itsy-bitsy commandment. It is quite the thing.
I think about the wreckage I left at TheraTech and at Viking and even at Boeing the first time around. The first thing I will do is start dispensing with the stories of what happens when one decides to take exception to my (God's) values, and SAFOs. I do not do it to sound self important, I do it to protect what are (in virtually every case) unwitting victims. The ones who lash out against me and my values - and then receive a Divine portion of the Law of the Harvest. So far, the body count is three people who have perished when I asked to call in a favor and get relief from the withering attacks and hatred.
I marvel that these same folks generally leave the Muslims and Jews alone (similar or same value set), but the Christians and oh how lovely is the morning when they find a "Mormon" to let loose on. It is full auto, no choke, all calibers, hunting season. While the Extermination Order of JL Boggs is no longer in effect, it is still the same murderous spirit that pervades the hearts of many. And it is exceptionally sad to witness - because they must yet pass through many sorrows until they are humble enough to bend the knee, just as Joseph's brothers were when they returned to Egypt with the aging Israel and his younger brother. And how fitting to end this diatribe on Joseph. In a land of promiscuity, it was Joseph who held his ground and stayed the temptation and who set he and his children up for an eternal prize.
