dear hub,

Let me clarify. I don't know who wins these little games. My guess is that Satin's team gets their collective-asses kicked pretty often. Power is relative. I suspect that both God and Satin have a lot more than we can comprehend. I don't want to give Satin more power than he already has. I am in no way worship Satin. BUT, I think it would be foolish to ignore that dark power factor. I have trouble thinking of Satin as some poor stupid whimp who keeps nipping at the heels of God like some little puppy dog.
God gets all my credit for the good things in life. God shows up at these little games to make life better. The escaped demon screws with the chemistry in the brain and God shows up, sometimes sooner than later, and eventually ends an attack. See, God gets all the credit to ending the attack.
All the rest of what I know at this point is that I'd wish the games were held in some other venue, like far, far away, (New Jersey would do, may even El Paso) instead of center-stage in my head. To the extent that I have a mental picture of what is going on I am better able to cope. I know this is a fanciful theory, but during the throws of the CH-attack, something simple is about all I can do to keep sane sometimes.
