Truth Crushed to the Earth Is Truth Still and Like a Seed Will Rise Again
Lord willing, I volition be retiring from my "secular" chore very soon. Every bit I've mentioned before, I intend to keep preaching and "talking a piffling treason" with my comrades at Free Florida First and via this weblog, Truth Crushed to Earth , and my electronic newspaper, Just for Your Consideration , for equally long as the Lord allows.
"Well information technology'due south a nice, soft night, so I call back I'll go and
bring together me comrades and talk a footling treason."
-- Michaleen Flynn inThe Repose Human, 1952.
Indeed, I suspect that circumstances may before long call for actions well beyond talking in the not too distant future and that'south all I have to say about that . . .
In any case, I aspire to be a "Dangerous Erstwhile Man" for the rest of my days. Such an occupation has a very long and honorable history.
In Psalm 92 we read: (12) The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. (13) Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. (14) They shall still bring forth fruit in old historic period ; they shall be fatty and flourishing; (15) To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Yes, to nevertheless bring forth fruit in old age is a swell gift and blessing from God. I pray that the Lord may be pleased to make information technology and so.
There are almost innumerable examples of dangerous old men, who brought forth fruit in onetime historic period. I'll share just a few that readily come to mind.

Some of the Brits had the misfortune of passing the fields of the old farmer, Samuel Whittemore, who personally ambushed the Grenadiers of the 47th Regiment of Human foot from backside a stone wall. Afterward dispatching 3 British soldiers with his rifle and 2 dueling pistols, he drew his sword and attacked.

"Old Jack" Hinson of Stewart County, Tennessee, made a valiant effort to remain neutral when the state of war for Southern Independence broke out. Simply as often proves to be the case, the yankees would not allow him to practice so for any length of time. Two of his sons were executed and beheaded, without trial, after falsely being defendant of being bushwhackers operating against the Federal forces. Their heads were placed upon the gate-posts of Hinson's home. In response, Hinson had a Kentucky Long Rifle custom made and began to engage the invading, murdering yankees equally a long-range sniper. Before the war was over, he had dispatched equally many as 100 of the invaders from distances of up to one-half of a mile (all this with open iron sights). At diverse times elements of four Union regiments pursued him, yet he was never captured. He survived the war, and lived until 1874.

And ane last example from my dwelling state of Florida
During the final weeks of the War for Southern Independence yankee forces landed at the mouth of the St. Marks River, determined to capture our capital at Tallahassee. The invaders were met past a hastily assembled force from Tallahassee that was composed largely of "a motley militia of one-time men (some every bit old as 70) and immature boys (equally young every bit fourteen)." This force repelled iii divide major attacks past the invaders at the battle of Natural Bridge and spared Tallahassee from capture, which was the but Confederate capital east of the Mississippi not captured to exist Spousal relationship forces.
In that location is a beautiful little land park at Natural Bridge today, with a monument to our defenders. If you are ever in the neighborhood, I would highly recommend information technology.
Free Florida First advocates for a Free, Inde pendent, Godly, Prosperous, and Traditionally Southern Florida.
