Opinion

  • Written by Dr. Robert Owens


God’s immediate immensity overwhelms me.  He’s present everywhere and yet He’s present to me.  There are more planets, and stars, and galaxies than we have a number to describe.  God created them all.  He upholds them by the power of His word.  And yet He touched me.  He touched me and now I’m no longer the same. 

The God shaped hole in my life ached for Him even when I denied Him.  Stumbling like a blind man in a world filled with light I couldn’t see what was around me and I couldn’t see where I was going.  Landing in a ditch I thought the fetid water was clear and the over grown wilderness of weeds was a garden.  Then He touched me and oh what joy filled my soul. 

Raising me up from my graveyard of sin He gave me a new life, gave me my soulmate as a wife, and allowed me to work in His garden.  And since I've met this blessed savior, since he's cleansed and made me whole I’ll never cease to praise him I'll shout it while eternity rolls, “He touched me, Oh He touched me, and oh the joy that floods my soul! Something happened and now I know He touched me and made me whole.”

Dr. Robert Owens’ Newest Book 

 

While neither the first nor the last Hippie, Backstreet was in many ways the quintessential Hippie.  Today the Hippie experience has been glamorized and sanitized by the dreaming of the young and the gleaning of the old. 

Backstreet's experiences covered the whole range of experimentation and rebellion that the Hippies came to symbolize.  From the "Summer of Love" in People's Park and Haight Ashbury, (he helped bury the Hippie in San Francisco) through Drop City, Colorado to the Armadillo in Austin, Texas Backstreet was there. 

More than the Lost Generation of the post-World War I era or the Beat Generation of the 1950's the Hippie Generation represents the ultimate in missed opportunities, lost dreams, and eventually counterproductive goals.

Make America Great Again - AGAIN!

This book is filled with some of the positive accomplishments of President Trump’s first Administration.  Most of this has never been covered by the echo-chamber megaphone pretending to be an objective media.  Some of it has been covered as if through a carnival mirror, distorted and reshaped to fit the negative agenda of the Left. 

Though the media elites, the perpetually re-elected, and the bureaucrats of the deep state are united in their determination to defeat Donald Trump they’ve forgotten one thing … most Americans still believe in America.  And though they’ve used the Plandemic to shut down our economy and their shock troops are burning down our cities they’ll not be able to terrorize us into staying home on election day. 

And when the dust settles,  

four more years may give us enough breathing space to: 

Make America Great Again – Again!
