God over man.

I choose:

GOD
over
MAN

•the God-given good news of the Gospel over the man-made nightly news
•any God-given smiles over all man-made masks
•the God-given, brilliantly designed immune system over man-made (brand new technology, unapproved) shots
•the God-given corporal works of mercy that require me to be in contact with other human beings over man-made secular works of mercy that prevent it
And most importantly,
•each and every God-given Sacrament over any and all man-made stay-at-home orders

None of this means I’m anti-science or anti-progress, or any other epithet people want to throw my way.

What it means is that my DEFAULT is to give blind trust to what GOD has given me (past, present, future, it all belongs to Him) and to be CIRCUMSPECT about that which comes from man, especially when that-which-comes-from-man has a multi-billion dollar profit margin and complete immunity from liability.

However, let it be known:

WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE, I love you. Yes, even those of you who wish I would die a slow painful death of Covid.

I already had it and I’m still here, praying for you and me and trying to build this world to reflect the Kingdom to come. So instead of fighting with you, I’ll offer my next rosary for you, because I choose God over man. 🤍
