Acedia and tristitia, the two-fold gift of Belphagor, the demon of Sloth. In the sixteenth century, Peter Binsfeld, a German theologian, assigned to each of the seven deadly sins a demon "sponser", who was the
embodiment and bearer of said sin. I'm of the belief that I have been the recipient of such a gift, it comes gift-wrapped every winter, as I suppose it does to many others. I lack zeal, even just a little zip; all I want to do is stay
in bed. Cold, snow, long nights...all contribute to my general malaise. In the old days, folks called this thing "cabin fever". Blah.....!.....Where's my receipt? I wanna take this back.

May God Damn the Government & Have Mercy on the Rest of Us
On Christmas Eve, 1860, the government of the state of South Carolina
elected to seperate the state from the Union of the United States. It had
declared itself sovereign and no longer under the jurisdiction of the Federal government. Their reasons for such an action was the deliberate and continuing violation of the Constitution of the United States and encroachment on the rights of the states by the Federal Government. If the
men who had enacted the articles of secession in 1860 were alive today, I have no doubt they would do the same, perhaps even more vigorously than
they had done the first time. When will "We the People" wake up to the
continuing usurpations of those who reside in the halls of government?
It makes me ill to contemplate what vile machinations our so-called
"elected officials" have in store for us next. Even more vile are those who are NOT elected, i.e. the "bureaucrats". As I have stated before, the times we live in are at an apex of history; we will either retain our traditions of
liberty or be crushed under the boot of tyranny. May the God of Heaven
grace us with the tenderest of mercies!
