My Dad has had a positive impact on my life. He gives me a place to sleep, eat, and smoke. He put up with Max, though he doesn’t like dogs. He was tolerant while I was going to school, too.

No
But it never really is. I pictured still being in Washington State. Instead, I had to break my lease and come home. I am glad to be around my family once again, but I still miss it in Everett. I had the best spot. Close to a bus stop, to work, to Fred Meyer. Now I am back off of Little Road.

I Want To Visit Jerusalem
Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to visit this place. Jerusalem is the place where Jesus, and Paul went too. It is the City of King David. The place of the Holy Mountain. I remember reading descriptions of parts of Jerusalem in Ben-Hur by William Wallace. It was fascinating, and only served to perk my curiosity further. I considered going on one of Robert Jeffress cruises, because you visit Jerusalem, and you also see other parts of the area too.

I worked Twice
The other day, I worked twice. That is why I have not been on here. Nor have I made much progress in my book, about Paul. Yet, I am nearing the end of it. Paul is on his way to Rome. Destiny and History are about to collide. Destiny being the Roman Empire, and History being the light of Jesus shining for “The Jew first, but also for the Gentile”.
I decided to read Luke, for Advent. It is a productive thing. I am learning so much about Jesus. One thing I learned about Jesus, is that He said “Not to worry, because we are more valuable to God than the birds of the air, or the grass of the field”, and yet he has them numbered too. He knows each one, and its purpose.
I also made it to my appointment finally, for Voc Rehab. I was surprised by how many people were logging in, just like me. Just as the orientation began. Now, I have a follow on appointment. But I had to reschedule it, due to a scheduling conflict. I have an appointment at the VA, with my provider at the same time. So, I was given the option to reschedule. But I will call the interviewer on Monday. To make sure it is rescheduled. I am so excited about Chapter 31. Hopefully, they will help me finish my degree! I am so close to being finished with it. But I need to finance it somehow. The GI Bill is about to run out.
I am listening to J.S. Bach art the moment. Its beautiful music. Wish I could dance to it, with some beautiful woman. It also helped me sleep well the other night. It helps me in my thinking too. What a gift, the music of Bach is from God. I am going to listen to Bach for the rest of my life. No rap, or R&B for me. That garbage is filthy. I believe, it is the end of an era. Thats why I am listening to Bach. Yes I am celebrating. The fall of Christianity in America, and the rise of the church in China means the Church in America is in big trouble.
As the Church in China grows, so does the power of China. This is the real reason for the growth of China as a power, is that the church is growing. Right now its being persecuted, yes. But watch- and learn. The church in China is growing. Whereas, in America, each year at Christmas, you can see America leaving God for new idols. Its so sad, and happening right in front of me. I believe it all began in 2007, too. Perhaps earlier too. When I did not care about such things. Turn back, America!
I will go get a hotdog at QT. I will write more later. I have so many things to say. I hope you enjoy, my writings over all. I try to make them encouraging, and uplifting. But the matter of America losing her faith in God, is one matter that cannot be ignored! America is dying to drugs. Thats a fact. These drugs give us a false sense of what God really wants of us.

My First Day In Great Lakes
Daily writing promptTell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.On March 10, 2003 I reported to NAVY Basic training. The training is held in Great Lakes, Illinois. I remember being nervous, and a little frightened. There was a lot of yelling going on. I had to call my family to notify them that I had made it to Recruit Training Command (RTC). I remember being selected for my division- 164! I tried to be one of those who sneak through Basic Training- quiet as a mouse. Yet, I ended up sticking out like a sore thumb. My RDCs noticed me right away. It was a harrowing experience.
I remember standing in one spot, for a long time. Then, we had to do the NAVY drug test. Then, we had to select our jackets. After a while of filling out some paperwork, we were allowed to sleep. We had not yet made it to our ship though, and we were in what is called “P-Days”, which are days before training begins. But some elements of training did begin in those early days. I just remember missing my family, then. It was all snowy out the next day.

Brandenburg!
I shared Handel’s Messiah with my Mom. She then reminded me of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. I remember listening to them when I was a child, in our first house in Everett. So, I began looking up the Brandenburg Concertos, and at first all I could find was No. 3. But then, after listening to No. 3 for a while, the YouTube algorithm finally produced the entire thing. Here it is.
Thank you Mom, for helping me find this! I listened to it last night, and went right to sleep. Its interesting, how Bach never gets old. I could listen to it over and over again! Such beautiful music.

A Really Long E-mail
I wrote a really long e-mail to both of my parents. I stayed up till two in the morning, typing it out. To me, the subject matter, icanslamsatan, is important. A very depressing and disturbing topic. Not much hope remains, in my heart. But while there is God, and Jesus I believe hope remains. As I say, I don’t seek revenge, only restoration of what was lost. As I remember the good old days of that relationship, I am cheered up. I still do not understand what happened.
I finished two assessments over the last two days. One was numerical. The other was verbal. I have one more assessment to finish, but I plan to submit it tomorrow, as I have a form to fill out and submit as well. The assessments seem preliminary, as I was able to go back in, review my answers, and score 100s on my tests.
I visited my Mom today. She made Christmas cookies. She also shared her steak, which Joey had made for her, with me and my sister. She sat with us and watched part of Jingle All The Way. I forgot how funny that movie is. After a while, I left to come back to Dad’s house.
I have not heard from Scott. Last I heard, he was trying to get a new car, possibly, or perhaps another engine for his current car, “Big Red”. Speaking of cars! I need to get a new left front bulb for my headlight. Scott has been in talks with my Dad over this. Scott really looks up to my Dad.
Thank you for reading my blog. This is a small update. Enjoy!
