Demilitarize The Police

Jul24

“Defund The Police” is a terrible slogan.
“Demilitarize The Police” is what we should be demanding.
We need Andy Griffith, to respect All our citizens and solve problems.
Not Rambo, to target black citizens and shoot up our towns.

Merry Yuletide & Happy New Year 2019

Dec21

The winter solstice, also known as midwinter, is an astronomical phenomenon marking the day with the shortest period of daylight and the longest night of the year. It occurs when one of the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. It happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere.

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, the solstice occurs on December 21st and marks the start of the Winter holiday for Pagans. This end of the year Solstice is also known as Midwinter, Yule for Pagans, the Longest Night, and Jól for the Norse.

Yule or Yuletide for Pagans, is a 12 day celebration. It’s the true 12 Days of Yule that have become known to Christians as the 12 Days of Christmas. But the 12 Days of Yule honors the Goddess in all 3 of her forms, the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. And it also includes a celebration to honor the rebirth of the God, in the form of the Sun. He is reborn at this time of the year, after a self-sacrifice in the summer time to nurture the fields, flocks and herds.

Each one of these representations of the Divine is honored and observed for a 3 day period beginning with the Maiden. The Mother Goddess comes next, followed by the Sun God, and ending with the Crone. It’s obvious to see how the cycle of life is recognized and honored during this winter festival that recognizes the Divine within each of us, and our connection to all things, seen and unseen around us and throughout the natural world.

Everyone here at Evilwordsmith sends out a very Merry Yuletide to you and yours during this holiday season; whatever that is for your family.

Many Blessings!

I Stand, So You Can Kneel

Jun30

I Stand, So You Can Kneel

I stand to honor the promise the flag represents.
You kneel because that promise has been broken.

I stand to affirm my belief that all are created equal, and to fight alongside you for that promise.
You kneel because too few stand with you.

I stand because we can be better.
You kneel to remind us to be better.

I stand to honor all that have fought and died so that we may be free.
You kneel because not all of us are.

I stand because I can.
You kneel for those who can’t.

I stand to defend your right to kneel.
You kneel to defend my right to stand.

I stand because I love this country.
You kneel because you love it too.

What A Busy Year It’s Been

Dec30

So Much To Do, So Little Time To Do It

Our last post was in May 2016! My stars I didn’t realize it had been that long since we posted on Evil’s blog. We’ve been pretty busy.

The biggest time consumer has been Evil’s new business venture, Southern Route Trading. Evil has become a Picker who buys, sells and trades toys, antiques, trading cards, action figures and anything else he thinks he can sell. SRT has been doing very well on our Southern Route Trading Store on Ebay so far.

On top of that we moved south below the Mason-Dixon line, out of the cold and snow. Well not really because we moved to the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. Still we don’t get as much snow as we did up north. Moving sucks! Still we got through it. Well we’re still getting through it. We still haven’t unpacked all the boxes.

We’re looking forward to 2018. We hope you are as well. So Happy New Year and may many blessings come your way during this exciting new year.

America Isn’t Easy

Oct19

kneeling “America isn’t easy. America is advanced citizenship. You’ve gotta want it bad, ’cause it’s gonna put up a fight. It’s gonna say, “You want free speech? Let’s see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who’s standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.” You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country cannot just be a flag.” – The American President 1995

“Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government: When this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved,” wrote Founding Father Benjamin Franklin in The Pennsylvania Gazette.

You can’t claim to be a Patriotic American and then oppose the First Amendment of the Constitution and those American values. Sorry, you don’t get it both ways. You want to complain about disrespect of the military, then remember what those Military forces have and continue to fight for. Anything less, is the true disrespect. #LetThemKneel!

Looking Back

I love the WordPress Jetpack year end in review. It’s interesting to see what’s popular, what we said and did. And how it relates to other things in the world.

Happy Holidays

Dec24

From our family to yours, we wish you a very merry holiday season and a happy New Year.

Here in our house we begin our celebration on December 24th. We have a simple family dinner and open presents. We honor the rebirth of the God in the form of Holly King. And then we fade off to dreams while Santa comes to visit, we hope to leave us a few more presents.

The 25th is our day for fixing a big family meal. For us that’s honey baked ham, scalloped potatoes, corn on the cob, fried okra, country green beans, brown sugar BBQ beans, geenbean/mushroom caserole and homemade baked dinner rolls. Garrett is a fantastic baker! Oh and of course dessert, chocolate silk pie and strawberry cheesecake.

What ever you do during this time of year, we hope it’s a happy and joyous time. And that you find yourself in a healthy and prosperous New Year.

Happy Holidays!
And Many Blessings,
Spring
