Washington National Cathedral, Up close and Personal....

Quotes directly from the Washington National Cathedral website:

"Gargoyle Tours Available April through October, this tour explores the whimsical stone gargoyles and grotesques that decorate Washington National Cathedral, and includes a slide show followed by an outdoor tour.

Admission is $10 per adult; $5 per child (12 and under); or $30 per family. Meet at the 7th floor auditorium, using elevators just inside the Wisconsin Avenue doors. No reservations required. Binoculars recommended. Cameras welcome. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate bus groups on gargoyle tours."

My dear brother, J. Michael, just pointed out the pictures of gargoyles to me. Unfortunately, they are part of the cathedral and you can see them for free on the web. Perhaps tolerance for the above explains a bit of our current problems. Most likely, these represent just one of the windows left open to welcome counterfeit gods into our nation's capital. Remember: "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." Ephesians 6:12.

This is Not a "whimsical" nor laughing matter, Saints.

According to Wesley's Notes, Ephesians 6:12means:

"For our wrestling is not only, not chiefly, against flesh and blood - Weak men, or fleshly appetites. But against principalities, against powers - The mighty princes of all the infernal legions. And great is their power, and that likewise of those legions whom they command. Against the rulers of the world - Perhaps these principalities and powers remain mostly in the citadel of their kingdom of darkness. But there are other evil spirits who range abroad, to whom the provinces of the world are committed. Of the darkness - This is chiefly spiritual darkness. Of this age - Which prevails during the present state of things. Against wicked spirits - Who continually oppose faith, love, holiness, either by force or fraud; and labour to infuse unbelief, pride, idolatry malice, envy, anger, hatred. In heavenly places - Which were once their abode, and which they still aspire to, as far as they are permitted."

Yes, and that warfare makes intercession all the more important, even critical for such a time as this.
