Conditional Patience

There is so much happening on the world stage at the moment, so many things happening on so many fronts. Put take heart in this: things rarely turn overnight - it can and does happen - but nothing happens in a vacuum.  

Amateurs discuss tactics, professionals discuss logistics, historians discuss conditions...

Great upheavals in history rarely "just happen." The American Revolution took nearly twenty years of back and forth between the colonies before Independence was declared. Never forget either how close the move for independence nearly failed. At Valley Forge, the candle flame of independence flickered, lowered, and was nearly blown out.

The American Civil War took nearly forty years of back and forth and various flare ups of violence before war was finally declared. 

Even today, what we see going on, those seeds were sown at least thirty years ago and longer. We want things to get better overnight. It can happen. But good things take time, especially when faced with some of the evil that we see today.

Keep the faith, prepare yourselves, your families and friends. Be charitable when needed and fight like furies always.
