A LONG EXHORTATION

THEME - What if...

Woke up this morning with a puzzling question in my spirit. Dint pay much attention to it, but, as I got out of bed to begin my morning & daily drill of 60mins-90mins of Thanksgiving, that question again interrupted my thoughts 💬.

2.
The question was just packaged in two words....WHAT IF?

Before I could process the thoughts, a barrage of other questions began to roll in, and then, I knew I had to UP my game in my daily Thanksgiving drill.

You see, I do this Thanksgiving "drill" every morning before I
3.
progress to praying in the spirit and then in my understanding and with relevant bible passages. (Thanksgiving is key to my relationship with God, because, I Know this for sure...THE UNGRATEFUL CARRIES A MARK OF RESENTMENT)

NOW;
4.
What if you woke up this morning and you began to "knock" on the gates of heaven, and as you did, an angel appeared and told you, "hey, sorry bro/sis, God is still resting. He had a busy day yesterday, and cannot attend to anyone until 4pm...")
5.
What if you knocked on heaven's gate and was denied access because, the accuser of the brethren just used his reggae to spoil your blues the previous night

What if you needed to pour out libations before seeing God?
6.
What if you needed to come with a fattened, spotless cow worth millions of =N=?

What if you needed a fellow human to gain access?

What if God gave you the deserved judgement instead of mercy?

What if you had no one to watch over you?
7.
What if God actually sleeps and slumbers?

What if His love had grown cold because, you wearied him out with consistent and persistent wickedness and disobedience?

THE WHAT IFs ARE JUST INEXHAUSTIBLE.

What if God resists you, who can come to your aid?
8.
What if you have to pay for the oxygen you breathe in freely? (Your guess is as good as mine)

What if God abandoned you when you were going through the numerous vicissitudes of life?

Well, thank God there are no "WHAT IFs"
Thank God He never sleeps nor slumbers.
9.
Thank God we don't need any human intermediary to get to Him.
Thank God we have access to Him consistently, and freely.
Thank God we have no need to pour libations b4 we access Him.
Thank God there is no waiting room in the scheme of things, waiting room to wait for our turn
10.
You see, if there are words for Him then we don’t have them.

You see, words are few, and to try to capture the one true God, using our vocabulary will never do, but we use words as an expression,
an expression of worship to a Savior,
11.
a Savior who is both worthy and deserving of our praise, adoration, Thanksgiving, worship.

#My God,
His grace is remarkable, mercies are innumerable,
strength is impenetrable,

He is honorable,

accountable,

favorable,

He is unsearchable yet knowable,
12.

indefinable yet approachable,

indescribable yet personal,

He is beyond comprehension,

further than imagination...

Christ of unsearchable riches

constant through generations, King of every nation.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
And here they are...
