SJR 102

Vote “YES” on SJR102 in the November 8th General Election

According to Idaho law, the Idaho Legislative session starts early-January and typically ends April. That’s 3 months for legislators to handle the business of the state. After that they travel home, throw on their comfy cardigans, and their slip-ons. Nobody really knows what they do out-of-session, but this is my best guess.

There is a problem with this though.

If pressing issues arise when legislators are out-of-session (as we saw with vaccine mandates last year) the legislature can’t convene itself due to current language in The Idaho Constitution. The only person that has state power to call the Idaho legislature down to Boise for an extraordinary session is the Idaho Governor.¹

Actually, since March 2020 Governor Brad Little has called several extraordinary sessions. But we all know that when the enemy chooses the time+place then you’ve already lost the fight. These sessions never amounted to much.

This brings us to SJR102

SJR102 will amend Idaho’s Constitution to allow the legislature to call itself into session without the direction of the Governor.

“[SJR102] gives our legislature the ability to act as an equal branch of government during times of extraordinary circumstance.” – Bonner County Chairman Scott Herndon²

This law must be a vestige from older, nobler generations where bona fides adorned the office of the Governor. We do not live in that world today unfortunately.

The Label of "Protestant". A Redux.

As you might know, the word "Protestant" denotes a splinter group of Christians that protested the Pope and The Roman Catholic Church during the Reformation period (1500-1650). From the Oxford English Dictionary (the only dictionary worth its salt): In the 17c., 'protestant' was primarily opposed to

The Literary Voice in Scripture When Depicting Christ in His Humility & Glory

There is a certain “literary voice” shot through in Biblical prophetical-apocalyptical writing concern the Christ in His humility & glory. The literary voice bears a similar aesthetic as the visual montages you might see in a Terrence Malick film: there's a raw, yet entirely natural, full court press
