I wish I’d been first to coin the term ‘Obama Fatigue’, but I only felt it and Ace got there first. Optimal blogging conditions occur when there are two or three outrageous items per week. When they come at a rate of two to three per day, the exercise takes on a different tenor. One has to go ‘meta’ to take it all in and make some sense of it.

I’ve figured out several of those ‘meta’ things to my own satisfaction in the last few months and even more so in the last few days, with God’s help. I’ve shared many of them here. The rest are personal — part of why I’ll be going quiet for awhile.

First is what I’ll call an extremely strong hunch, backed by lots of research, reasoning and prayer, about the cosmic backing and eventually to-be-revealed role-identity of our new president. With that has come a good sense of his real agenda and thus some confidence about what time it is on the Biblical prophecy ‘clock’ (hint: very late).

Thus, while I’m still hardly a prophet, I have more clarity than I’d like about the trajectory going forward. I have elucidated various aspects of it in previous posts, though those should by no means be construed as covering all of the things I’ve run across that have helped me draw the conclusions I have. The rest are just too arcane or shaky to blog. They tend to help confirm the already-convinced but do little to change anyone’s mind. Go back and read the archives if you’re interested.

I am no longer surprised at each morning’s headlines because, in view of the dark agenda I think is driving this administration (much larger and more depraved than most suspect — a truly big lie) the majority of new developments make perfect sense. Some might take that as arrogance — my using exaggeration and over-the-top language to get attention and make a point. It is anything but.

The feeling is more like serenity and confidence. The political fight is largely over. A sideshow. Not ‘meta’ enough to really explain things. Against more well-established frameworks used to measure the actions of previous presidents, very little makes sense… except the theory that Obama is grossly incompetent and/or that virtually nothing is within his control and I don’t believe either one.

Second is a sense that I’ve said what can be said and what needs to be said. If you’re not already thinking in the direction I’ve outlined above… if you are inclined to think that I’ve put on a tinfoil hat all of a sudden and have too much time on my hands to come up with such total lunacy… then there is nothing I can say that will convince you.

In fact, as an unprecedented flurry of derisive, sarcastic hate mail confirmed late last week, there is every likelihood that further efforts at rational argument on this subject will only drive some into further partisan apoplexy, self-justification and bewilderment. The Spirit will move and show you what I think he’s shown me… or he will not.

Third is a sense that I’m called elsewhere. I’ve been given a sign (in a dream, a few weeks ago), as clear as any I’ve ever had, that I need to finish a book project and get it out there… that it is part of the battle, even if only a bit part of value to just a few. There are other things too: family commitments, a stream of paid work heating up, new exciting things going on at church, and a marathon I’m signed up to run that tends to leave my brain kind of mushy for a few days after some harder training efforts.

So, browse the archives, blogroll and especially the life-changing audio section. Hang out. Chat… but be nice. I’ll be back. I just don’t know when. Thanks for reading.
