Viking In Valhalla

Tax season is upon us! Get those checks that you owe the government because you worked, to the department of Revenue! Let’s get that cash collected and sent out to these people!

I ask all men if they are ready. Most reply yes. When I ask what they are doing to remain prepared, most remain silent.

‘If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.” — Thomas Sowell Civilization is only sustainable by grace through faith in the One whom everything is held together. It is not passively obtained, but actively maintained. Nothing and no one drifts toward order. All history is heading towards consolidation under its one Head because He is forcing it into that mold by His good and sovereign discretion. Civilizations undefended lead to barbarism unintended. Our radical corruption ensures that without a sustained faith in our Sustainer, we will either tear down our walls from within or watch them be torn down by unbelievers from without. Sin is devastation and salvation is civilization. Sin tears down. Love builds up. If you are not prepared to fight for what you love, you will watch your beloved be ravaged by the barbarism of your neighbors or your enemies. What we are not willing to sweat for in peace, we will bleed out in war.

The Modern Viking: A Guide to Self-Reliance and Resilience
In an age where many of us feel increasingly disconnected from the world around us, there's something undeniably appealing about the Viking ethos. Those fierce warriors, with their focus on strength, resilience, and community, seem like distant, almost mythical figures. But what if there were a way to channel that spirit in the modern world?
Let's start with the basics. Just like their ancestors, the modern Viking needs to be self-sufficient. Growing your own food is a great start. Even if you've got a tiny balcony, you can grow herbs, some greens, and even some surprisingly hardy vegetables. Not only is it satisfying, but it also gives you a sense of control over what you're putting in your body.
Of course, self-reliance isn't just about food. It's also about being able to defend yourself. This doesn't mean you need to be a martial arts expert, but knowing the basics, like how to throw a punch or how to escape a hold, can make a huge difference. There are plenty of self-defense classes out there for all different fitness levels.
Then there's the mental side of things. The Vikings were known for their knowledge and skills. In our world, that translates to self-education. Whether it's learning a new language, mastering a musical instrument, or picking up a trade skill, lifelong learning keeps your mind sharp and opens up new possibilities.
But being a modern Viking isn't just about the practical stuff. It's also about building strong relationships and being there for others. The Vikings were known for their loyalty and dependability. In our fast-paced world, being someone others can count on is more important than ever.
And let's not forget the importance of family. Raising kids who are both kind and capable takes a special kind of balance. You want them to be empathetic, but you also want to give them the tools to navigate a sometimes-difficult world. It's about teaching them things like respect, responsibility, and how to stand up for themselves and others.
Finally, the modern Viking has one eye on the future and one on the past. We can learn so much from history, but we also need to be ready for whatever the future holds. It's about finding that balance between honoring traditions and being open to new ideas and ways of doing things.
So, are you ready to embrace your inner Viking? It's not about cosplay or pretending to be someone you're not. It's about taking control of your life, building a strong foundation, and being the kind of person you'd be proud to have as a friend or family member.
