Small axe fall big tree. Senegal’s seminal success in containing the Corona virus outbreak….or at least in minimizing it’s fatalities, shows up the blister and blunder of the USA’s catastrophic mismanagement of the whole affair.
But to even compare the two, I agree, is unfair granted the huge difference in both situations…as far removed in scale and nature as David from Goliath – (Exactly!!!).
Although American prophets love to cover their ears like ostriches from the trumpeting taunts of truth (concerned no doubt that a Rachel Maddow exposeé might defile the purity of their self-deception), Trump’s executive order for the reopening of America’s flesh shops. (or meat markets if you please) at the height of the pandemic’s destruction does put into stark relief the mercantile exigencies of a gigantic empire against a traditionally pastoral hinterland more concerned with the survival of their scattered and peeled people.
I know, I know. I must not give upon America just yet…even if she is past redemption and has become a putrefying stain upon the cloth of humanity.
But how can I help, after listening to her most zealous prophets, like Lance Walnau, fired up with a vision of the reformatory potential of an awakened church, stirred not only revitalized to reclaim the towering heights of a culture under siege, yet apparently completely insensitive of even weightier matters ….the tipped scales of justice and truth….the divine requirements for compassion and mercy….insomuch as i am given to admire the tenacity of his pursuit in lapping up the trail of prophetic crumbs to piece together purpose, how can I help but pronounce America’s prophets dumb dogs barking at the wind?
