Remember, Remember...


Recently, I have been pondering the 5th of November.  It seems that the tumultuous times we live in have me wondering what this date means to us today.  We are surrounded by people rising against injustice (perceived and actual) in a few ways, the most regrettable seem to also be the most effective.

So, I sit here (again in my pajamas) pondering the state of our State and can't help but wonder, what would it take to "fix" our nation and what does "fixing" it even mean?

Really, these are rhetorical questions that point in only one direction: a greater hope.

P.S. Again, the links are pivotal.

Remember, remember the 5th of November
The gunpowder treason, and plot
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

It has always been man's natural recourse to resort to violence to resolve our problems and "correct" injustices. Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament, we riot and overturn cars.

Praise God that even through this violent nature He worked for our salvation and allowed us to inflict violence upon Himself to pay our our injustices.
