Sipsey Street Irregulars: David Codrea needs our prayers. "Tell everyone to leave me the hell alone, okay?"

David Codrea needs our prayers. "Tell everyone to leave me the hell alone, okay?"

Just received this email from David's wife Maureen:

Hi Mike and Rosey,

David collapsed in the middle of the night last night and fractured two ribs and also put couple of lumps on his head. He is (in the hospital).

They are taking tests, and will keep him for a couple of days.

Maureen

David has been struggling with pneumonia but was getting better. This is a real setback and so keep him and his family in your prayers.

LATER: Spoke briefly with David who, in great pain (think pneumonic coughing with two broken ribs), confirms the above and asks politely, "Tell everyone to leave me the hell alone, okay?" I don't think that request prevents prayers offered in his behalf.

Kenny said...: Dear Lord, the Word tells us that You are the great physician – I still believe that and I know that you continue to heal today. I ask that you would touch David and heal his/her body. I ask that you touch every muscle, tissue and cell in his/her body and strengthen, heal and uplift him/her. Please place your loving arms around David and let him/her know that you love them. I pray that you would wipe away the discouragement, fear and anxiety they are feeling. Give his/her mind peace, comfort and rest. I pray that the pain would begin to diminish even today.

Lord, I now ask that you would surrouond David with heavenly angels. Let your angels bring him/her peace and comfort. Help David’s mind to meditate on you and your goodness. Now Lord I entrust my beloved to you. Help me to not be anxious but to continue to trust you throughout this situation. Help me to find words of comfort in your bible that I may share them with David. I know that you are a good God and I ask that you give me a greater measure of faith to continue to believe.” We ask all these things in Jesus name. Amen

Anonymous said...: Thank you Kenneth, your eloquent prayer brought tears to my eyes. I will add my own for David and Mike. The Scripture tells us that no matter how inadequate our utterances are He knows our heart and needs before we even ask. We pray for a speedy recovery.; March 22, 2014 at 10:47 AM
Radio Patriot said...: This is dismaying news. My thoughts and prayers are with David (and you too Mike) for a rapid recovery.

When you talk with him again, please convey my concern and best wishes to him. This can't be much fun. At all.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
