"For Damion DiGrazia, joining the Air Force, graduating from Harvard and Columbia and putting together a lucrative career as a management consultant at a top investment bank in Manhattan wasn’t enough.
He had one more, slightly less conventional item for the bucket list. When this Sunday school teacher isn’t spreading the Good Word, he prefers a metal fist to the teeth. DiGrazia is the captain of the New York chapter of the Armored Combat League — a sort of medieval fight club whose members smash the hell out of each other while dressed like attendees of the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones. “This is a sport that requires passion,” he explains. “Because there’s no responsible way to do it.” "
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
- - Ephesians 6
But can he face down principalities, demons and spirits in the solitude of his prayer life?
Ephesians 6:12 (ESV) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at May 8, 2016 3:38 PMConan the Cimmerian was a barbarian. He was chaos in human form. He was the chaos from which a new, more robust order, would spring.
He wasn't stupid, and he wasn't a fool (well, women...but what man has ever mastered that?)
When he became responsible he was very responsible. It takes a very discerning mind to understand that, when over-turning apple carts, to select which apple carts need over-turning.
Posted by: Mikey NTH at May 8, 2016 7:52 PMWhich apple carts to overturn....ask for Wisdom and it shall be granted to you by Him. Mix that in with a dose of Sun Tzu and you will know which carts, and what battle ground to upset them on.
