  • Three Books That Had An Impact

    Daily writing prompt
    List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

    The first book I want to list is probably the most important book. Tom Clancy’s Debt Of Honor. It was such a complex read, and my first Tom Clancy book. The Japanese fulfill there debt of honor to the United States. It gave a unique look into the culture of Japan. Billy recommended that book- kind of.

    The second book ended up being I Kissed Dating Goodbye. I read it right before I finished High School.

    My Third book, is none other than Ben Hur. I was fascinated by the detail in the book, the description of Jerusalem. Also SneffPoppy wanted me to read it. It was a great book. It detailed the story of the three wisemen. Cannot help but think he was right. I found an original print copy from 1902 at the Everett Public Library.

    I also really enjoyed the post-trilogy Star Wars books. For there time, that was all we had- the trilogy and the books. Each one was better than the last one.

  • One Thing I Do That Brings me Joy

    Daily writing prompt
    Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

    Is that I take a walk. It doesn’t matter how long the walk is either. Sometimes I walk as far as the park. Other times, I only manage to make it to the store, around the corner. Nevertheless, I find comfort and joy in going for a walk. It helps if I have music, too.

  • World of Warcraft

    Today, I logged into my computer. A couple of days ago, my Blizzard launcher told me World of Warcraft was “playable”. So, I decided to check it out. Had I updated my subscription? Yes. Yes I had, it turned out. So, I started playing, which gave me great satisfaction. I did several quests. They were easy, but I am still on one of them. I have to go around, and complete a bunch of leveling quests, in order to complete the one I am on. Its going to take a while, but it will be worth it.

    Anyways, usually, I mow the back yard, and my Dad mows the front yard. But today, my Dad mowed both the front yard and the back yard. It looked really nice. Especially because I didn’t have to mow it. Thanks Dad! After my Dad mowed, he did give me a chore, where he wanted me to cut up some branches he had piled up on the back porch. So, I smoked, and then after that I used some clippers to cut the branches up, and then I threw them into the garbage can.

    While my Dad mowed the lawn, I went to go visit my Mom. But when I got to her house, Joey was there, and he explained that my Mom, sisters, and niece Madison, all went to visit my brother William. He is at San Marcos getting his degree. I was so impressed with my Mom, for going and seeing how William is doing. I miss my Mom right now. But I am glad she got to do this. She needed it!

    This is the very first YouTube I ever watched in 2007. I don’t even remember how I found it. I would watch it on repeat, after watch. It is some politics and history for sure. I decided to share this with my readers. Because I am getting to know you all, maybe you want to know about me too.

    After I smoked, and refreshed my coffee, I noticed my Dad was still watching Lost In Space, on Netflix. He has been watching that for the last several days. Or, rather, re-watching, because previously we had watched it together. Its pretty good. But once I watch most things, I am ready to move on. But he sure seems fascinated by it.

    My friend, Leland just wished me a good night. Aw. I came across Leland on Facebook. He is from Kenya. He wants so bad to be a Minister of God. Speaking of God, I forgot to read my Bible again. I have a reading plan, and I have tried over and over to follow it. I find great peace in reading the scriptures. I feel God speak to me there. Here is a scripture I wanted to share

    Deuteronomy 5:16 “Honor your father and mother as the LORD your God has commanded you. Then you will live for a long time, and things will go well for you in the land the LORD your God is giving you.”

    Remember how I talked about this last time? I wanted to share the scripture, because it is a part of my reading. But it sticks out to me. This is one of the hardest commands of God to obey. Even for me, and my parents were both good parents. So, I try to imagine following this command if I felt my parents hadn’t been so good to me. It must be tough. But I believe we must obey it. I must obey it. Because God has commanded it. We honor our parents, to honor Jesus.

    I have not heard from Scott in a while. I will give him a call later on. But I expect he is busy. Scott works two jobs, has a girlfriend, and he wants to move out from his parents house. So, this means he is extremely busy. But I still want to hangout with Scott. He compliments me, I feel like.

    I need to begin sending money to the Shiloh Village Apartments. I broke my lease, that is why. The apartment was in Everett, Washington. Moved there in August. I moved back to Texas at the end of April. I drove for two days straight in order to get home. This is when I broke my lease. Now, I owe them a bunch of money. I would have stayed. But I just missed my family, and oddly- being in Texas. Never thought I would say that.

    Trump Indicted On All 34 Counts

    You may be wondering, do I still support Trump, even after his indictment. Which perhaps you have hard about yourself. Well, yes I still will vote for Trump. I just ordered a free Make America Great Again hat too! I will post a picture when it arrives. Jesus saved our souls and Trump is the savior of America. I believe in Trump still, and I believe Trump has a wall to finish! Remember, that the libs gush over Nelson Mandela.

    This meme speaks for itself.

    Well, anyways I am done writing for now. Time to finish my coffee. God bless you!

  • I Made It. It’s Friday!

    I made it! Like the title says. My favorite time is Friday night. Because you have the whole weekend to look forward too. This week, I have been watching the Left Behind series on YouTube. It’s free. So far. It has been pretty good too. I would say, the 2nd one was much better than the first one. But both films were good. I believe they show the truth. That Jesus will return soon!

    I went and drove to see my Mom. But she was not home. That’s ok. I am not so sure she wants to see me right now. I have begun to grow a beard. I am no longer in the NAVY, so I figure why not? At least for a little while. I just think that shaving every day is hard on my face.

    I am waiting for my disability to hit at Midnight. I destroyed my old phone. So, I am planning to buy a new phone. I am not sure what kind. Whatever is the cheapest. Honestly, I considered getting a flip phone. I use Facebook way to much, that’s why. I am also on Truth Social. I am just on there to support Trump during the difficult times.

    I have my drink. A Red Bull Peach Edition. It is delicious. I cannot really afford it, but I bought it anyways. I just went to smoke a cigarette. I noticed the grass needs mowing. It has been storming almost this whole week, in Texas. But today, it was rather nice out. I just am not sure I am ready to mow yet. Might let it grow a bit longer.

    I am on a Batman Kick. Lately, I have been listening to soundtracks on YouTube. I think this is one of my favorite ones. I miss watching the Dark Night trilogy in theaters. I saw all but the last one in Theaters. I watched the second one in Bahrain. It made the movie special.

    Thank you for reading my blog. I just wonder, how is your family doing? Well, I hope. My family seems to be doing alright. My Niece is off to Air Force Boot Camp this week, I guess. Big step for her. I reminded her to document everything. She already knows that.

    I am just here in Texas again. I figure I will find work soon. I am always trying to find work. I hope I hear from my old employer. DefenseTex. I enjoy working as a security guard.

    I am going to be taking a free certification course through Cisco and IBM- offered by Goodwill. It begins in July, and ends in September. I hope to become certified. I will take my time, and study hard. First step is the assessment. Mr. Padilla at Goodwill sent me the instructions. I will begin self-paced courses.

    Anyways, I am just writing to give an update. My updates have been sparse. I am what some would call “Old Fashioned”. I believe we need to honor our parents. Its not easy, and if you have no parents it might prove a challenge to obeying the command of God. But if you are not sure about it, pray to God and ask Him to guide you. That’s what I do. As an adult I no longer obey my parents- rather I honor them. This honors God. It is so easy in our modern world to blow off this command of God. But it needs to be obeyed because it is fundamental. I am not trying to lecture you. I am just sharing what I do. It is something God convicted me about, even before I left the NAVY. When I was a child, I rarely honored my parents. But as an adult I do everything I can to honor them.

    Robert Jeffress says we will marvel, at what God has done. This is very uplifting to me. Because I am a Christian. Being a Christian is not just a religion- it is a relationship. With Jesus. Jesus came to His own people, and was rejected.

    Sometimes, they say that the Bible, and Jesus are ethnic- that it is for “white people”. But this is not true. Ethiopia was a Christian country in Africa. Just play Europa Universalis III. It will show you, that Ethiopia was Orthodox. Also, many Black Americans have come to accept Jesus as there savior. I doubt they would even be able to do that, if it were “ethnic”.

    Anyways, I am just rambling now. I have to ponder these things, because I think these factors above, will matter. That is, people will leave Jesus because they think He is ethnic. But Paul wrote “There is Neither Jew, nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female”. Why would Paul write that if it was all “ethnic”? Wouldn’t Paul emphasize being a Jew, or a Greek, if such was the case.

  • How do I Know When It Is Time To Unplug?

    Daily writing prompt
    How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

    I am a night owl. So, I often sit at my laptop well past midnight. Ok, for now, because I don’t have a job. It seems like time is going by faster, and faster. I look at the clock and it’s 8:30- time to take my medicine. By the time I look at the clock again, it is already midnight. So, to unplug I shut my laptop. Lately, I have been sleeping on my back. Sleeping on my back helps me to unplug. Usually, when I run out of coffee- that is when I unplug.

    I just have to say- this question was the most thought provoking so far. I enjoyed writing the response. Thank you for reading it.

  • This Video Left Me in Aw!

    I was so impressed with Israel in this daring raid on Entebbe. It seems like the world has a double standard for Israel, where they cannot defend themselves. Let me describe the images which I saw. I saw a terrorist pointing a gun directly at a hostage. I saw tanks. So, they used armor. I saw Amin, who it is said he lost his temper after the raid, and executed a bunch of people. I saw Netanyahu, he was involved in this raid. It was fascinating how the French government gave out those awards.

    I wanted to share this video, because I support Israel in defending itself. I have been reading about Hamas since I was ten years old. Nothing but death and destruction. Good riddance. This has been a long time coming. Hezbollah is also firing missiles at Israel on the northern border. The hatred of the Jews is demonic.

  • Those Who Died

    This is a meme that I discovered on Facebook. It struck me. I like what it says, because it is so true. We never met those who paid the price for freedom, but we owe them.

  • Psalm 87

    By Korah’s descendants; a psalm; a song.

    1 The city the Lord has founded stands on holy mountains.

    2 The Lord loves the city of Zion more than any other place in Jacob.

    3 Glorious things are said about you, O city of God! Selah

    4 The LORD says “I will add Egypt, Babylon, as well as Philistia, Tyre, and Sudan to the list of those who acknowledge Me.

    5 But it will be said in Zion,

    “Every race is born in it.

    The Most High will make it secure.”

    6 The LORD will record this in the Book of Nations:

    “Every race claims that it was born there.”

    7 Singers and dancers will sing,

    “Zion is the source of all our blessings.”

    What quality do you value most in a friend?

    Honesty! Being honest is what I value the most. Loyalty is overrated.

  • Edward Snowden

    I just finished watching the movie, Snowden.

    You can rent it for yourself on YouTube. If you haven’t already, you can learn of the government’s massive spying campaign under Bush and Obama. Apparently the spying program has been shutdown. But there is still the FISA courts. Secret courts for issuing secret warrants. The infrastructure to continue spying still exists. They can do it legally, because of FISA. They need to remove FISA. Why do we have secret courts in America anyways?

    After watching the movie, I was so impressed by Edward Snowden, and also his girlfriend, Lindsay. I would like to travel to Moscow to meet Snowden and Lindsay. They seem like great people. The greatest mind in America is in Putin’s Russia. God bless Edward Snowden and Lindsay!
