"....And now I think we are just what God made us to be, and to have a wisdom of acceptance."

Your thoughts so resonate with me and strike me as profoundly true. I had similar thoughts when I was contemplating the life and current circumstances of Trump. It appeared to me that he was exactly where he needed to be, when he needed to be there and it took his entire life to get him there. This is especially true when he came out of literally nowhere to win in 2016, totally unanticipated by the cabal and upsetting their well-planned apple cart for Hellary. As you said, "we are just what God made us to be." I shall be content with where He placed me.

This Trump circumstance may well be, and it seems to be so by what we may humanly detect by our powers of reasoned surmise. As corollary to your Trump comment, all the twelve apostles were imperfect men ... and their imperfections were there for our instruction. Now if one were just an ordinary mortal dude, you'd think that in order to get into the Apostles Club one would have had to have been a perfect boy scout, or some kind of shining example, or maybe the most perfect of chivalrous knights, but no! The cock always crows and someone always has to stick their fingers in the wounds. Humanity with all of its foibles is always on parade. And with all that, some still remain humble enough to settle for the crumbs which fall from the Master's table in this doggy dog world.

I see a lot, but not enough to see the all the moving parts. I do get some of the patterned world. And I do detect patterns as they emerge and make educated guess based up some uncommon learning. For example, I see some of the mistakes the West has made ... and very egregious miscalculations which a kid in a sandbox would not make. But I was say that for us, it is a very, very dangerous world.

The below very short article has some crumbs in it, the significance of which would pass by undetected by many a reading eyes. For the miscreants, it's all about money and control. And lying and stealing, and murdering and maiming ... and of trying to make it all look so clean and respectful. And as it is getting late, I leave it there.

Thank you for the link. I will check it out tomorrow as it is late.

Your observation about the characters of the Apostles Club is so profoundly sublime I wonder why I did not see that before. Though I'm sure I must have seen it, I did not recognize the universal lesson of that profundity till you pointed it out. Suffice it to say, we do indeed look through a glass darkly. If I am able to learn anything new from the information linked, I will respond later. I have gotten to the point where I now question myself as to exactly how much I am actually able to discern as opposed to what I thought I always knew.

Yeah! The Apostles Club? That may be a little too cute! However, I do like to have fun with words. But I have to say, having fun with words is a bit like marriage vows. It for better or worse, and worse requires a supreme effort in a prudent paring down. I really do have to work at containing myself because the horses are incorrigible. And my! How they like to get away from the cart! Speaking of which, I once had a girl friend who told me a story. She spoke of how her grandmother was riding a train and looked out the window and spotted a cart rolling down a hill. Her grandmother thought 'the horses had gotten away'. But instead of horses and carts, it was one of them new fangled horseless carriages.

In a world which runs on deception, stealing and murder, non-stop false flags and cover-ups, one does have to be cautious at what one presumes. For example, I now assume that there is a kind of Pivot/Roll Back in progress and away from Rabid Woke. I see evidence all over the place, and that would be a growing mountain. Regarding this, I first have to ask why a roll back? And after hours of deliberation and examining, and just thinking about it, I come back to The Franchise and the Money Machine. I come to fact that the whole Franchise (Collective West) in going down the drain ... and the Apex Money Power sees it and knows it. The Apex Money Power now knows that 'they' have created a monster of insanity and they see that full throttle insanity cannot be controlled ... not even contained within their model of controlled chaos. So they have to pivot, pull in the loose cannons and strap them down. And if they cannot do that, then there is always the chopping block. The Apex Money knows how to get though if the have to. And the Apex Money knows that, as with mad dogs, the only solution is to put mad dogs down. But there are always flies in the analysis ointment, and so it has been ever since the inception of known history. Now here is an example of yesterday's prime Fly in the Ointment moment. We begin with things having to be reigned in, but then comes Christine Lagarde, the current President of the European Central Bank, who states that Trump being elected president would be the worst thing that could happen? And yet Trump could be the Pivot back to sanity roll out candidate. And so who is on first? Second or third? And see how complicated it is? I could go into the intricacies of this, but instead I will say this. When studying complex systems, ambiguities abound. The are the prime factions, usually two big ones. But there always is a host a factions within factions, and this with man being zoon politikon and by nature being give over to factionalism powered by perceived self-interest. And then there is, miscalculation as a monkey wrench inserted calculation variable. People always are prone to miscalculation and miscalculation is an ever present directional factor. So, 2024 is a huge year. It will tell a good deal more as to where the forces in play are going.

Our favorite Troll. He wrote reams of replies as to my sport of Troll Ridicule cracks. I read two sentences of one and promptly decided to 'troll, troll my boat' in the opposite direction. However, I do have one big lesson take-away from Troll-dom. And that is this. That dipping oneself too many times in the Sea of Talking Points will certainly addle the brains and lead to intellectual ruin. And too much intellectual ruin makes a wasteland out of the soul.

LOL right. Didn't someone say, "Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh"?
