TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL… ( a curse of irony )
Ahhh, with a title like this you would suspect I am a bit caffeine-ated over my concerns with DARK
FORCES. Maybe.. maybe not. Anyways.. to hell with him.

To hell with his schemes, to hell with his plans.. to hell with his defiance of the God we
serve. To hell with his torments, to hell with his temptations, to hell with the emptiness
he offers, to hell with the darkness he slithers in, and the rocks he slithers under.

My only real concern in writing this is that there may be some readers of this email that are more
concerned with me using the word HELL in this context, then you are concerned with the hell Satan
creates here on earth. So let me lighten up this email… and speak to those concerns…

To H – E – double hockeysticks with those concerns… and now back to my controlled tirade.

We as believers have many terrific holidays to celebrate the life we are blessed with. The birth of
of our Savior, and the Easter season. As Americans we have Independence Day, and we have
Thanksgiving (which my waistline is now recovering from), Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Presidents Day,
and even the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown on Halloween. We celebrate love and romance on
Valentines Day, We remember our Mothers on Mothers Day, and our Fathers on Fathers Day..
and for the rest of the holidays.. well those are only for the U.S. Post Office.

But anyways.. I have my concerns that this email will be received with a bit of concern for me..
and my emotional stability, but let me sum up the message of today’s email. Today, November
29th, 2004 I am going to celebrate TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL DAY. Well maybe not celebrate
but I am going to smile ( ironically with a devilishly grin) and remember that after all the HELL
he has shared with mankind, for all the wars, the Hitlers and Husseins, the Stalins, the Holocausts,
the Lions and Christians in the Roman Coliseums, and in the end so many have suffered because
of more than just man giving in to Satans lures, and hatreds, and evil.. MORE THAN THIS.. and
more than man’s role and responsibility there still SLITHERS SATAN.

So GO TO HELL SATAN!! What’s that you say Satan? you are there already?? Well get used to
it. Is it hot enough for you?? To hell to the sadness and despair you inspire.. to hell to the loneliness
and fears you encourage.. to hell with the rage you fuel. To hell with the hopelessness, and the mocking
you whisper in our ears. To hell with your plans.. TO HELL WITH YOU!! OBTW while you are turning
ever slowly in eternities rotisserie.. thank you for inspiring me to receive God’s free grace and love
and forgiveness, and ultimately eternity in Heaven.

When I think of the damage he has done, and will do.. and no matter who he tragically takes along
with him.. in the end.. in the very end.. I will smile that this source of madness, and hatred, and
controlled evil will be eternally damned to hell. The phrase eternal punishment never sounded so
good as when it relates to the devil.

Well.. hey.. I know I scared many of you today, but I feel much better. Dare I say.. a H – E-
double hockeysticks of a lot better. Better because my life has hope, your life has hope.. we will
stumble, we will fall, we will face trials, and our fears, but we live by grace.. not by our perfection, or
even our relative goodness. So while my TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL momentary attitude may
give my a bit of a raging sense of relief that this SNAKE will get his in the TRUE END.. and
while this does bring a mean smile to my face.. and a bit of guilty pleasure in my GET EVENISM
attitude towards Satan.. the real smile I have, and you should have is the smile of a sinner
saved by grace. Remember.. God does NOT need you or me, but more importantly he wants us!
Grace and forgiveness are true gifts from our perfect creator, and are the one true hope for
mankind. Guilt and Despair are only the result of an unrepentant heart, and of a grace unrealized.

May God give you the smile of peace that he is in control… and when life appears to have GONE TO
HELL.. that is the devil talking. So let’s live in the light and truth of God, and not deceived in the
darkness and lies of Satan.

One last comment. I am not looney, and this is will not be the ongoing focus of my emails. Most
days you will find me wandering my world smiling and focused on my deep personal faith that I intend
to affect my public cartooning policies. Today was just a day of therapy.. a little ‘scream therapy for
the soul’… but life is about Jesus being my answer, and my direction. I pray this is true for you too.
