In our journeys in life, we are going to have roadblocks, and at the very least, a lot of speed bumps. Right now, we're at a point where many of us feel that we could break. We won't break, though. Things have come across our paths all along the journey, and we wonder if we can get through it. Yes, we will, and this time should be no different than any challenging time we've experienced. As always, we will persevere.
The stock market, the economy, life without college basketball and pro sports. How soon will we bounce back? I hope that is your question, and not what we will do without out the normal things in our life, as if it will never come back. Okay? That's all I have to say about this. It will all be right again. It's just a journey in our life.

The Message For Myself: Keep working on it...
Tonight (this morning for some of you), I watched @JjMcNown's message on youtube.com, called "How to live life with STRENGTH. And how to finish STRONG." It was an older one from when he was pastoring Foundation Church Portland, via Fortis Media. It sent a message to me, beyond any of my expectations. JJ is talking about Jacob, and what he was able to tell his children (at some point) before his death.
Seriously, I really had to share this with you today! Really. Seriously. None of us know how long we are going to be given on this earthly plane. We all heard about Kobe Bryant's tragic death today, but there were other families, too, that lost loved ones. One family lost three. For those of us that have children, maybe a generation or two down from us, what would we tell them if we were on our death bed, or knew we'd be gone soon? No. We don't know. Too morbid? Too soon? Sorry. Well, really, not sorry. I know this is a struggle for many people to know what to want for our children. But, after you see this video, and what JJ is telling us here, you may know exactly what it is you are supposed to tell them. And you will know why.
Now, for some of the readers of this column, you may want to go back to the beginning of this video, and see something that I thought was noticeable. JJ McNown seems to be struggling to find the right words at first. He admits to struggles in his own life, where he needs the armor of God. Here is a verse that I know helped him through those trying days.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ~ Ephesians 6:12-13 NIVAnd now, for an encore, I bring you a song that I just wrote while playing by ear, when I was struggling with finding my purpose. This was back last Summer, when I had lost a love of my life. I wanted to be the right guy, but found out I wasn't. Very long story. But playing music, and sharing it, made me feel like I could stand my ground. Here's the song:

To me, Epstein's death sounds like a pre-meditated lie
By John Kubicek
January 13, 2020
Here's a quick confession that I must now write out-loud: I'm still infatuated with the Jeffrey Epstein "death" story. Well, okay, maybe "infatuated" wasn't the right word, being who the subject of this series is about. So, let's go with "obsessed," instead. What I want to do in this final - hopefully - episode in this series that began in August 2019, with "Meet your new neighbor: Why, he looks just like...", followed by my post, "So... If Epstein didn't kill himself, is he still alive?" posted in November, 2019, is to explain my obsession.
First of all, these posts aren't meant to convince you of anything other than there is circumstantial evidence, in the form of facts - Key word: Circumstantial - that might make you say, "Hmmmm..."
"Hmmmm... ," just comes out without you meaning any verbal communication, but the better half looks up from her laptop.
"What's on your mind this morning?" she asks, knowing that while it's still early in the morning, you're really on to something... "Already?" she asks.
"Well, yes, already," you reply, "and yes, there is something on my mind that seems to be an obsession... We may need to have a talk about that," you say with a wry smile and a wink.
"Honey," you say with a quick shift to seriousness, "what is something that we would really like to see, but never seem to get? Justice, in where elites get taken down? Finally? And I mean, we're talking about the really deep state."
You were on a very passionate rant, which was surprising for so early in the morning, with less than a cup of coffee so far. And you continue, more in the way of deep thought.
"I guess it was when we watched that 60 Minutes segment about Epstein's death. There were so many things that said to me, well, it's like they're doing all they can to say he is dead, whether by suicide or he was 'suicided,' but they're hiding the other side of the coin! We're being focused on his death, when it could be something totally different!"
"You're on to something there, my darling, but I really hope it's because you're a sane genius!" Yes, that's the way you know that she's paying attention, you're thinking, as a big smile comes across your face.
You're ready to state your "sane genius" theory, and you place your Trump2020 coffee cup back on the table. You're ready, time to spill the whole theory.
"There were a lot of reasons for President Trump to replace Jeff Sessions with William Barr. I think the big one is that he needed an AG, and a handful of people that the President could trust, to look into some very evil things, that wouldn't be intimidated. Being that the most evil crime we've known about is the international child sex trafficking going on, and that there may be many well connected people involved in it, a difficult challenge was looming. Are you following me so far?," you ask.
"Well.... Okay, yes, doing my best... Can I warm up your coffee for you?" But she was doing her best not to interrupt your thought train.
"Sure, more stimulation is needed," you kind of sarcastically answer, and then continue. "What if Epstein was an inside informant? What if he had been working undercover since his last conviction for a sex crime? That would be totally weird, but hey, this whole thing seems weird!" You know you're on a roll, and you continue. "I would imagine that the government would want to keep Epstein alive as a future witness. I can really hear them saying, 'We need to keep Epstein alive,' and the plan to get him out of the MCC hell-hole was hatched."
You look over the coffee cup you're sipping on, and see that she's in deep thought, and probably ready to say something, so you pause for a moment. You're right, and she has a thought to interject.
"So, if Epstein was alive, there would be an all out effort to make people think he's dead, and it seems to be working! Because... it seemed to me that there seemed to be ample evidence he is room temperature. Right... Well, until you kind of started making me think about it... There's a good motive for it."
Yes, there is only one way any of this could have happened. It would have had to have been planned out, so that we'd be convinced of a suicide, or a murder, and definitely, his death; but never consider that Epstein is still alive. But if I'm right, can you imagine the horror on the faces of the people that see John Durham in their peephole?
