In dependence Day

"Trust - who do ya?"
Apart from a referrence to an obscure song from the original Batman "soundtrack" by Prince (circa 1989), this question has great merit.

I've been challenged by a great number of "what if...." questions lately: The machinations of 9/11 & 7/7 (UK), our tax system, wars and rumors of wars... and on. With some of these, the data just doesn't add up. Too many coincidences. Too much simply does not fit with explanations given. Deceit abounds - on one side or the other.

Mind you, while I'm still in the investigation stage of many these hypotheses credibility (and lack thereof), the question remains - who do you trust? and likewise - where is your trust?

I recently decided I will no longer affiliate with a political party. For in that affiliation is the subtle lure of trust - trust that some person who wears a certain label can help solve my concerns, or my concerns for my country.

I don't know those individuals apart from TV sound bites and published "platform" statements. I do not experience life with any of them to the degree that I can say I trust their motives, or even their stated beliefs.

I need to remain in dependence of God.

I will only trust the One who alone knows the end from the beginning.

I will only trust the One who alone has the power to cause change.

I will rejoice only in that One.

"The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him in song."
Psalm 28:7 NIV

"He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast,
trusting in the LORD." Psalm 112:7

with that said, enjoy this slice of Irony-Americana:
