I was sitting the other day reflecting on what the world was like when I was a younger; when I lived on Montana Street in St Paul MN. I do enjoy reflecting on those days from time to time but the reality hit me like a bullet. People today will never get to experience the life we lived and many today somehow thin it was wrong, that it was an entitlement or white society and my favorite piece of jargon white privilege. We’ll get back to those assumptions in a moment. I want to describe for you a place that almost seems like it never existed. Growing up, we really had it all. We live in a paradise by today's standards. The streets were safe, I was able to ride the city bus at age 12 to Maplewood mall (in Minnesota). When I was 8 I was allowed to walk 2 blocks and cross White Bear Avenue to get a footlong chili dog and a malt by myself. In the winter we play hockey outside and friends were friends; we used to have each-others back. Sledding down hills and just getting to be kids in a world no one has seen in a long time. It was not a perfect world but it was as close to it as it could be in this life.
Kids did not shoot other kids in school; taboo subjects were not all the rage and people genuinely did their best to mind their own business and try their best to treat others with respect. No; not everyone got a fair shake, and many people of color definitely did not, however, Dr. King was fighting for equality, he wanted people of color to share in the richness of our society and for people to not judge each base on race. Calling that world white privilege is the same as saying there is a divide as wide as heaven and hell themselves. That the world of the people of color and white people was still so far apart we could never bridge that divide. Even with working together to understand our differences and how to find new ways to understand each other without the aid of politicians creating and artificial race war and the media using hate sounding terms such as white privilege or entitlement of white society. Instead of us working together to raise us all up together and giving those things I had a child to all and make that the world we live in, we are striving to destroy the country and rebuild in some bizarre intellectually based society that demands white people suffer for what they have done rather they had anything to do with oppression or not. The country that was not perfectly founded on Christian values is being replaced by a socialist society where freedom of speech is determined by social media, certain political groups and the media. The truth and the narrative must be only what the party line says it should be and any dissenting opinion should be removed from all media and social medias rather it is based in facts or not it can only be called fake news or disinformation. The powers that be feel our past should be erased and a new history should be written. The French at least had the guts to stand up and say the things that happened in their history were there rather they liked them or not and their history would stand. Our country wants to revise it and strip it down to what those in power think it should be. Removing statues, destroying buildings, and turning most of our historical figures into the boogie man and should never be mentioned again. No matter what they had accomplished they should never once again grace the pages of our history except maybe in a footnote if you're lucky. No country or society or Democracy for that matter can be forced to be made perfect for everyone, because we can’t all agree what that should look like, and in my view, this is in insult to the fight for civil rights and only designed to sort out those who will not conform to the “new normal” ostracize them, destroy them, “re-educate them” or even wipe them out completely. This is coming and if you think it’s not coming, you're not paying attention. Or are so mesmerized by the media or political party speeches you refuse to see the truth, even if it is biting you on the nose. Conservative Judeao-Christian moral values are the bane to the existence of those in power in our country. Not killing babies, homosexuality not being ok, and an endless list of moral values that are now considered obsolete, even though the name Martin Luther King is mentioned his beliefs in God are never mentioned anymore, just his fight for civil rights. The 10 commandments have been replaced the “Many Shades of Gray”. God himself has been replaced by the all-powerful nothing that apparently created everything. Using the race card as weapon are actually keeping people oppressed, divided and angry. When Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, he did that so we could ALL rise up. His example of bridging the great divide should be the example we follow today. We should be working together to raise each other up. I have seen many examples of people coming together even during the Minneapolis riots to show each other love and to fight for their community’s the right way. We need to pray for our leaders and pray for a movement of God in the country like we have never seen before, and yes, I agree we do need to drain the swamp of the devil and his band who are currently cheering us on as we travel to a dark place in our nation's history on the could prove to be our last moments......if we do not stop the path we are on and correct our ways follow God and his laws and we will see a prosperous nation again.

Welcome to the Last Christian Underground. This all started due to many of my Facebook posts being deleted or limited simply for telling the truth about my Christian beliefs. In our society today those beliefs and those values are being challenged in every aspect of our society as Americans. There is little doubt that there is an attack on conservatives and especially conservative Christians. That is why I, with the Holy Spirit's leading and with a huge leap of faith, have started the "The Last Christian Underground" Here is one of the last safe spaces for us to share our ideals, our struggles, and our triumphs which all of these are for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is a place where the truth will be taught and not sugar coated to be more palatable or to be more politically correct. Here God's word will live and here I will make my stand. For this is my rock (Jesus) that I will stand on. It is time for us to once again become the city on a hill and the light in the ever growing darkness.......no matter what those costs may be!
