Dear Journal;
What am I to do? I have been pressured by the congregation to give a sermon on witch side, the Jacobins or Girondins, does God support and all I can think of is that is like asking, “does God support the Devil or Satin?” God’s will is not being truly accomplished by either side.  I do although know this will not be an acceptable answer for the people.

Let me think the Jacobins: have proved themselves to be murders, the Girondins have not proved this as of yet, but I don’t suppose there is much of a difference.  The Girondins and Jacobins alike have called each other royalists, so no one really knows which side is telling the truth.

Really I believe despite my feelings I must chose to support the Jacobins for I believe they will win the power struggle in the end.  I do this not because I see them as the lesser of two evils.  I do it simply for a matter of personal safety and that of the people under my care.

I honestly believe that the people will side primarily side with the group I chose, thus putting their lives on essentially the flip of a coin.  I feel horrible for this; I didn’t work to be a model of my town to control their destiny.

I had another dream last night, this time the devil had his back to me and was fighting with Michel, the Arch-Angel of God, when suddenly Michel disappeared.  When the devil turned he had no face, just a black spot.  I was then transported to a mob scene of fighting Jacobins and Girondins.  I then woke up abruptly; I believe this was a sign from God foretelling that the Anti-Christ shall rise from the ranks of one of these groups.  As of which one it is a mystery.  I fear, and pray that the end is rapidly approaching.

May the Lord reveal what he has in store,

Jean
