Love & "Honor"
Dear N1M Brothers & Sisters,
God put on my heart to attend a local Board of Education meeting this past Thursday evening here in Orange County, NY. The Holy Spirit gave me the spirit of David before I entered the school. It was not David’s warrior spirit as much as it was his heart of love for God that fueled his warrior spirit. Most all of us would die to protect our mothers, wives, and children. David fathomed God’s love as immeasurably beyond our love for even our own children. He could not allow the Giant to mock the God he loved…while his own people cowered.
When I got inside the school I was told to put a mask on. I said, “No”. They said, “You cannot go in without a mask.” I went in without a mask. When I got inside the auditorium, I was told by the chairman of the BOE I needed a mask. I said, “I will not wear a mask.” He said, “We will call the State Police and have you removed.” I said, “Go for it brother.” And then I asked why they (the BOE) are not fighting for our children. This got the entire room going. It appears the spirit of David is more contagious than the lie of Covid. The young boy sitting to my left looked at me like I was from another planet. Later his mother sent me a note thanking me and telling me how impressed Wyatt (her son) was with what he saw in me. I told her he intuited what God means for him to be, and that they removed Rudyard Kipling from public education for a reason, and gave her the Kipling poem “If”.
The State Police came and stood in the back of the auditorium. The BOE acquiesced and allowed the meeting to proceed with masks optional. They know they have no legal grounds in a public space to mandate masks. As the public was making their comments I went to the back of the room and introduced myself to the three troopers and thanked them for their service. I wrote a song about this entire experience 12-years ago called “Honor”.
I have VERY good news my friends…He’s back!
God Bless,
Chip
