Normal

Normal ,

Comfortable,

and 911

Fury hated his two stronghold weapons. They were so “cute” , he felt sick every time he used them. He sometimes wished even stupid humans could see that Normal and Comfortable were just two wheezing, snotty, wrinkled minor demons hiding behind their deceptive costumes.

Normal and Comfortable had so perfected their act... they even deceived the hard-working demons promoted above them into believing they could do great works. These two sloppy, lazy free-riders would boast in a human heartbeat about the “Volume Deception” award they received from satan himself.

All they did was establish a human standard of “normal” using media images...a standard that was always out of reach of any flesh,... tempted humans to desire it (everyone else is "normal" but you),... then sat back and watched as humans abandoned their originality designed by The Other Side to chase after “normal”.

Fury would make sure that this next assignment made Normal and Comfortable actually do some work for a change.

If they survived, he would turn in a disciplinary recommendation to let Pride take them apart limb by limb. It would not be a pretty sight…every demon knew the pleasure Pride got out of carefully carving his over-achieving colleagues into hamburger for The- Feast-Of-Hell’s-Best.

The Other Side had kept The Eagle Country protected for over 200 years,

however, Deception was continually winning many battles inside the country.

The residents of Eagle Country had begun to tear down their hedge of protection with their own hands.

Normal and Comfortable had even tried to take credit for Deception’s hard work.

“Brown Nosers”, Fury said out loud

as he carefully put the finishing

touches on his latest masterpiece cleverly entitled, “911”.

Normal and Comfortable writhed in pain as they got a glimpse of the aftermath of Fury’s latest feat. His “911” plan had been approved and implemented so quickly, Normal and Comfortable were caught off guard.

Fury had finally carried out his threat to expose Normal and Comfortable, eliminating their stronghold on Eagle Country with one fell swoop. With Normal and Comfortable out of Eagle Country, Fury felt he could single-handedly outperform every demon that ever existed. He had Despair and Destruction on leashes standing by... gnashing at the teeth to get at the stupid humans.

Suddenly, ...

Fury felt excruciating pain in his head. Wheeling around, he saw arrows coming at him in every direction...

Prayers!… humans had not screamed out to The Other Side like that in years!

Blinding light struck Fury as Faith began to grow in every direction...through his blood, Fury could see the light of eighty-story-high angels, Hope and Courage, covering Eagle Country ... Fury raged... as he was drug back to Hell.

Demonic replacements looked on wearily as they struggled to find a new platform for Stronghold. With Normal

and Comfortable dethroned...it would take a while to steady Stronghold. Tolerance and False Religion suddenly

rose out of the ashes and built a new foundation for Stronghold in a split second. Tolerance was in labor birthing

Same-Sex Marriage. False Security began laying brick-upon-brick, while Secular Worldview slapped the mortar

on with Separation-of-Church-and-State looking on happily....

The smoke was clearing... and Destruction’s work on Eagle Country was now coming into focus.

The demons smiled as they realized that the residents of Eagle Country were actually making their jobs very

easy...humans really didn't need alot of leadership once they allow Deception to sink its' teeth in deep.

Don’t let anyone under pressure to give in to evil say, “God is trying to trip me up”. God is impervious to evil, and puts evil in no one’s way. The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and only us. We have no one to blame but the leering, seducing flare-up of our own lust. Lust gets pregnant, and has a baby—sin! Sin grows up to adulthood and becomes a real killer. So, my very dear friends, don’t get thrown off course. Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light. There is nothing deceitful in God, nothing two-faced, nothing fickle. He brought us to life using the true Word, showing us off as the crown of all his creatures. James 1: 13—18
