This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. (Idaho, Montana, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Wyoming.) Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies of interest to preppers and survivalists that are located in the American Redoubt region. Today, we focus on the upcoming Inland Northwest Freedom Fest. (See the Idaho section.)
Idaho
The 2019 Inland Northwest Freedom Fest will be held Saturday, September 14th, 2019 at the Bonner County Fairgrounds, in the Main Exhibit Hall 8 AM to 6 PM. “Speakers include: Pastors Tim Remington, Shahram Hadian, and Dr. John Denny; State Representatives Dan Fisher, Matt Shea, and Heather Scott; Alex Barron, and many more!

Albert Camus was quoted at the end of today’s Survivalblog column. …. Albert Camus may have been on a Spiritual Journey like the Prodigal Son Parable from the Bible. … Rev. Howard Mumma, a Methodist pastor makes that claim in a book. ~Albert Camus and the Minister~
[Camus to Mumma] =
“Yes, you are exactly right, Howard. The reason I have been coming to church is because I am seeking. I’m almost on a pilgrimage — seeking something to fill the void that I am experiencing — and no one else knows. Certainly the public and the readers of my novels, while they see that void, are not finding the answers in what they are reading. But deep down you are right — I am searching for something that the world is not giving me.” … [Camus further exclaims] =
“Since I have been coming to church, I have been thinking a great deal about the idea of a transcendent, something that is other than this world. It is something that you do not hear much about today but I am finding it. I am hearing about it here, in Paris, within the walls of the American Church.”
“After all, one of the basic teachings that I learned from Sartre is that man is alone. We are solitary centers of the universe. Perhaps we ourselves are the only ones who have ever asked the great questions of life. Perhaps, since Nazism, we are also the ones who have loved and lost and who are, therefore, fearful of life. That is what led us to sense that there is something — I don’t know if it is personal or if it is a great idea or powerful influence — but there is something that can bring meaning to my life. I certainly don’t have it, but it is there. On Sunday mornings, I hear that the answer is God.”
[From ~religion-online~ reprinted from The Christian Century.]
*********************************************************************************
Whether or not, Camus completed his spiritual journey, will be revealed on Judgement Day. +Jean-Paul Sartre may also have been on a similar spiritual journey.
…….. Supposedly, ~ ‘On his deathbed Jean-Paul Sartre, the famous atheist French philosopher, confessed that,’ =
“I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured. In short, a being whom only a Creator could put here; and this idea of a creating hand refers to God.”
[Fr George William Rutler, in CatholicHeald, March 3, 2017]
