So, today I woke up, right before Blizzard Maintenance. I ended up going to Stormwind to turn in a quest. I bought a new staff for my druid, also. Also, I noticed something:
I have exactly, 66 Deviled Clams! Haha. To funny.
Well, anyways, it was supposed to be cloudy. But as I drank my coffee and smoked my cigarette, I noticed not a cloud in the sky. But, it is early, so perhaps we will see. It was nice out though. But the grass is a little high.
Let me just say, I am taking a break from posting about Trump, because I believe it is all in God’s hands. We need to pray for our President, and be vigilant. A lot is happening all at once. Oh, I did it! I mentioned Trump. Well, what can I say? He has been in the forefront of the news for- nearing 12 years.
Anyways, my Dad and I ate at a restaurant called “The Cotton Patch”, and my Dad ordered the Chicken fried steak, while I had a regular steak. I thought my steak was delicious, it was so juicy!
So, I shared EntertheStars. Sometimes I share the perspective of people- who do not share my beliefs. Nor, does the host seem to understand why we voted for Trump. Still, sometimes he has good information. So, I shared the opposite perspective with you. He goes in and makes fun of Trump for wearing a catheter.
I was reminded the other day, of something. There are Christians inside Iran. Iran is one of those countries, where persecution of Christians is the norm. On top of this they are being bombed! We need to pray for, and remember that they exist.
Today, I was at work. At my work, as long as I file my report every hour, or thirty minutes, I can kind of carry on how I want. As long as I am visible. So, what do I do? I study about God! Also the things going on. Such as in Israel, or even in America in Los Angeles and around the nation.
A part of my goal, is to spread information on my blog, and on YouTube, from various sources. FOX News, or CNN, they are a search bar away, from you finding out what they have to say. But this is not the case, with everyday Americans, or people, or organizations, that may have something to say. I found one such source today. I watched, and decided to feature this person’s message.
This was the first video I found, that she made. I was just browsing through YouTube looking for something to fill the time. But it seems the Lord wanted me to fill my time with someone- who loves Him, and shares the message of “repent”! But she didn’t just talk about repentance. She discussed sexual sin, in particular. Its interesting, because Paul wrote a lot about sexual sin. She quotes some of it here. But she said there is a solution!
That solution, is repentance and changing your life style. To often, the church ignores this very thing, sexual sin. Which is so sad- because Paul wrote extensively about sexual sin. He wrote that those guilty of sexual sin, will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. You better wake up!
This was the second video that she made, which I saw. There are more, and I will watch some tomorrow. But its very fascinating, because she said she stands with Israel in this video. Plus, she discussed the rapture with her viewers. I recommend watching both videos. In both, she discussed the dreams people have been having. I think people are beginning to wake up. Its refreshing that she discussed Israel a bit.
To often, the church doesn’t discuss things going on. Watch, Sunday will roll around, and I bet there will not be a peep about what happened in Iran and Israel. But it seems so obvious to me- that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled as we are watching. She even said at one point, “If you asked someone in the 90s about what was happening today, they wouldn’t believe it”. I realize we are supposed to be Heavenly minded. But didn’t the idea of “News” originally come from the church? That was why Martin Luther hung his Theses on the door of the church! Jesus also said to keep a watch and be vigilant. The only pastor I ever hear mention anything relevant going on, is Dr. Robert Jeffress. Thats why I follow his service. But even he would not go so far as to call it all “biblical” prophecy.
I wanted to share my blog, and I will also share my YouTube on my blog. Hopefully, I don’t get any strikes, because my whole point is to help this person get there message about repentance out. I think of her, as the “Cannon of God”! Yep. What a profound message. Hopefully, people will see this message, so they can respond to it.
Well, anyways I am going to go play World of Warcraft. You enjoy this, and please watch the messages. You won’t regret it.
Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. The Earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep water. The Spirit of God was hovering over the water.
God created the Heavens and the Earth. God also protects His covenant children. What if Benjamin Netanyahu is God’s method of protecting Israel currently? Just the other day, I was reading in his book, and he had explained that a preemptive strike is the best way, to protect Israel from annihilation.
Israel has bombed Iran. During the bombings they killed several key leaders. Because the attacks are described as “preemptive”, I guess this means Iran was going to, or was planning to do something. But Israel turned the tables on them. I have decided to share the Trump response with you.
See how in the video, the speaker says “There are no surprises here”. Trump knew this was coming, and he had someone warn one of our allies in the Middle East. They never said who the ally was, but my guess would be Saudi Arabia.
See, how in the video he says “We will defend Israel if necessary” and also the Iron Dome had been replenished. So, Iran may still be planning to do something, according to this video from Fox News. See, they expect a retaliation.
God chooses different ways to protect the Jewish people. First, he parted the Red Sea, in Exodus. Then, in Esther, Haiman ends up hanging on his own noose. Thats what Greg Laurie, said this morning, about God’s intervention on behalf of Israel.
I wanted to share another video with you, real quick.
This video is from Watchman1963. He wondered whether the prophecy regarding Elam is being fulfilled.
I really like the Watchman, though I doubt Trump would survive a review by the Watchman. Still, he has good information, and he always shares the Good News in all of His videos. Please, be informed, trust God. In the end, He wins! He is not finished with the work He started, at the Creation.
I had to calm myself down, because I was upset about Blizzard’s maintenance on a Wednesday. So, I made a pot of coffee, and smoked a couple of cigarettes. Ah, yes. Now, where to begin in my writing?
I guess I will just start with the first thing I did today. I got my oil changed, in my car. But I wanted to be the first person in line to get my oil changed. I hate waiting around, for now apparent reason. I googled the place I was going to go, to check the hours. It said “Open 7:30 AM”. So, at just before 6:30 AM, I took off and bought a 7/11 and cigarettes. Then, headed to Valvoline.
I knew I had a long time to wait as I pulled up to the oil place. It was only about 6:45 AM. The attendant was already there, and he politely told me that they would be open at 7:30 AM despite some of his employees being late. I was so relieved. Not sure what else to do, I began reading my book. I read about three chapters of Bibi, while I waited. The chapters aren’t very long.
AT 7:30 AM, they had me pull my car in to get the oil changed. Finally, I thought. It didn’t take very long, 15 minutes to be exact. Thats pretty good. They had several recommendations for maintenance. I asked for a print off, and I will discuss each one with my Dad. Maybe one of them is time sensitive and needs to be done shortly.
Bibi, My Story
So, I told you earlier, I was reading a book. A couple weeks ago I heard an interview between Bibi and Dr. Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist at Dallas church. It was a good interview, but during the interview Bibi, Prime Minister of Israel, plugged his book. So, I ordered it. The man pulls no punches- first off, he admits he has killed people. But secondly, he also admits his emphatically in love with Israel and the Jewish people.
One thing I have learned, reading through the book was with Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Now, Israel is poised to take it back. If you ask me, Gaza belongs to Israel! They shouldn’t be giving up territory. Israel is already a tiny country as it is!
My Mom and I had a brief discussion about Israel. SHe said, “They are the people of God”. I admit, she is right. What is more, the Messiah, Jesus, comes from them! In fact, He was born as King of the Jews! He will return. Abraham is still alive, according to Jesus. That means the promises of God, to Abraham are still alive. God bless Israel! Long live the House of David!!
Anyways, I am just here now, hoping the maintenance ends soon. My plan is to level my warlock’s herbalism a bit more so he can pick herbs in Desolace. His herbalism isn’t high enough yet. Now, let me look at doing the daily prompt. The daily prompt is about my favorite childhood book. So, I will do that one. Have a good day!
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.
You know those lineages in the Bible? There long. Boring, and if you lose your place at any point, you pretty much have to start all over. But I am going to show you a lineage that is not boring. Let me show you a lineage that is not boring! Joseph:
The Ancestors of Jesus
Luke 3: 23B Jesus, so people thought, was the son of Joseph, Son of Eli, Son of Matthat, son of Levi, Son of Melchi, son of Jannai, son of Joseph, 25 son of Mattathias, son of Amos, son of Nahum, son of Esli, son of Naggai, 26 son of Maath, son of Mattathias, son of Semein, son of Josech, son of Joda, 27 son of Joanan, son of Rhesa, son of Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, son of Neri, 28 son of Melchi, son of Addi, son of Cosam, son of Elmadam, son of Er, 29 son of Joshua, son of Eliezer, son of Jorim, son of Matthat, son of Levi, 30 son of Simeon, son of Judah, son of Joseph, son of Jonam, son of Eliakim, 31 son of Melea, son of Menna, son of Mattatha, son of Nathan, son of David, 32 son of Jesse, son of Obed, son of Boaz, son of Salmon, son of Nahshon, 33 son of Amminadab, son of Admin, son of Arni, son of Hezron, son of Perez, son of Judah, 34 son of Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham, son of Terah, son of Nahor, 35 son of Serug, son of Reu, son of Peleg, son of Eber, son of Shelah, 36 son of Cainan, son of Arphaxad, son of Shem, son of Noah, son of Lamech, 37 son of Methuselah, son of Enoch, son of Jared, son of Mahalaleel, son of Cainan, son of Enos, son of Seth, son of Adam, son of God.
This is the lineage of Joseph, the husband of Mary, in the Bible. What I want you to notice, at the end, in bold is the phrase “son of God”. See how, Joseph is, because of the lineage of Jesus, a son of God.
I have been reading through Luke, for Advent. I came across this, and wanted to share it with you. I wrote it down, also so that I would remember it. Thank you for reading my blog!
My Mom sent me this video. It is about the Christian heritage of America. Including the founders who loved God. This video is the beginning of a series, in which the first video, defines what it means for America to be a Christian nation. Meaning, that our laws, our values, are Christian.
Its a reminder of things for our nation- and things for me, personally. For one, America needs to turn back to God. Things that are evil, have become the norm. While things that please God, have been spurned. America has made one step in the right direction- by re-electing Trump. But we really need to turn from our (For all have fallen short of the glory of God) wickedness. We need to stop pointing fingers, and repent.
Remember that Jesus is our Master and our Friend. When we call Jesus Lord, I do believe, and have experienced, that He enters our lives. Jesus has experienced all manner of temptation just as we have- and as He put it, “I have overcome the world”. Also Jesus said: “Greater love hath no man, than that he lay down his life for his friends”. Jesus laid down His life on the cross, for us. So, Jesus has gone above and beyond to be not only our Master, but our Friend too.
I am sitting here, listening to Christmas music, as I type this. I listen to Star 102.1, which plays all the Christmas music. They play the music through Christmas day. Hence, why I am probably talking about Jesus- His birthday is coming up. But first, we have Thanksgiving. This day was set aside to thank God for what He has done for our nation, and also to thank each other for the various sacrifices we make for each other. It is an important tradition, and I believe we should stick with it till Jesus returns. Along with Christmas.
So, anyways, I just find it to be a fascinating debate about the historical foundations of America being Christian. I remember reading in Rush Limbaugh’s book about the Pilgrims, how even the “Strangers” didn’t dare step off the ship, without first helping to form the Mayflower compact- and to pray. Before they even set foot on land, they had approached God. It seemed to work, because later they became a successful colony. Even though they didn’t land in Virginia as they had hoped.
This blogpost is about the video- I need to rewatch it so I can discuss the material- and I really think you should take a moment, to watch the introduction of the video to get an idea of what the speaker has to say about America’s Christian Heritage. Another reason I need to watch it, is because I want to return to school, and my major is History.
I really like the introduction. The speaker is Gary DeMar. The Title of the first part, is “Fact Or Fiction”. Gary argues, during the introduction, that you cannot appreciate America’s History, without understanding the Christian foundation of it. Just watch it- and appreciate the wisdom being put forth.
Now, for me personally. I believe things in my life, need to be dedicated to God. I have seen it over and over, when I leave God out- I fail. But when I have put God at the center- I met success. I think it will end up being the same thing for America- and I believe America is a preview of what the Millennium will look like, when Jesus reigns on this Earth. God bless you and thanks for reading my post!
If you have followed my blog at all, you know I have reason for discouragement. When I get discouraged, I know to turn to the Lord. I am turning to the Lord- because I want Him to direct my path. I have posted this Psalm before I am sure- but it means so much to me.
When I was a kid, my family would sing this Psalm, from the Psalter. So, here it is:
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the person who does not follow the advice of wicked people, take the path of sinners, or join (sit) in the company of mockers.
2 Rather he delights in the teachings of the LORD, and reflects on his teachings day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted beside the streams-
a tree that produces fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither.
He succeeds in everything he does.
4 Wicked people are not like that.
Instead, they are like husks that the wind blows away.
5 That is why wicked people will not be able to stand in the judgment
and sinners will not be able to stand where righteous people gather.
6 The LORD knows the way of righteous people,
but the way of the wicked people will end.
This is how I know everything will be alright. I am nervous about going to school again. But I know I can be excited- because God will take care of me. I worry, yes, but I have my Master and my Friend- the Lord Jesus to comfort me, and to encourage me along the path that I believe God has set for me. If it is God’s will- He will make a path. I believe it is His will. Know doubt. A burning desire to finish school burns within me. I have learned a lot during my hiatus. I have learned to lean on Him. Always. God bless you, and thank you for reading my blog.
I decided to include Psalm 1 here, from the Psalms Project. It is very good. Enjoy!!
The movie. It is titled: The Life Of Jesus. I am watching it, now. I am not very far in. It is the part where Jesus chases the money changers out of the Temple. I have seen this movie before. I am watching it on YouTube. You know, I may have to reschedule my appointment tomorrow, but I am going to watch this movie. I love Jesus. He is my Master and my friend.
I came to Jesus at Billy Graham, in 2002. Just before I went into the NAVY. In 2007, I was just living life how I thought I should- and suddenly a change occurred. I quit going out. Certain songs, I no longer want to hear. Taste in movies and shows changed too. I believe it is the Holy Spirit. After I tried going out again, but it just was never the same. I was not always faithful to God. But I can see He was always faithful to me, taking care of me, even when I was in the NAVY.
Jesus is in His ministry now. He as at the well with the Samaritan woman. This part is really touching to me. This is where Jesus says, “Salvation is of the Jews”. I keep this in mind. If Salvation is of the Jews- Israel then we should br praying for Israel. Not condemning it. Jesus is the Messiah. But these people did not understand that at the time. But now we know, because of the Bible.
The Bible
I saw a meme once, that explained they do not really know where the Bible came from. I found this meme to be encouraging, because to often they give credit to mere mortals for crafting the Bible- usually for nefarious purposes. But if they do not know where the Bible came from- maybe that is the sign that the Bible is from GOD- they don’t know where it came from. It came from God. Like when Paul named the “unknown God” in Athens. The Athenians had been worshipping God all along, and they did not even know it.
Now, Jesus is healing the man at the well. He had been sick for 38 years. Jesus asked Him, “Do you want to be well”? Amazing, how Jesus did that! I find it how the Bible is such a comforting book, in light of Jesus. Without Jesus, the Bible would be a stinking pile of garbage.
I guess my Dad decided to stay at the farm again. He does this a lot. Dad really enjoys that camper, they put out there. Last time I was there he showed me how to setup the generator. It was easy to do. I think I can remember it, next time I go out there.
Jesus is now explaining how He is the Son of Man to the Pharisees, and His disciples. He explains that He judges based on the authority of God. He does only what His Father sent Him to do. How the Father is His witness. Where did Moses write about Jesus? Are there hidden books, that we know nothing about.
Jesus is now feeding the 5,000. Actually, it was more than 5,000. Back then, only the men were counted. Not including there families. They even had twelve basket fulls of bread left over, after the meal with Jesus. Jesus then goes off into the hills, to be by Himself. Then Jesus appears to the disciples, when they were in the boat, and they thought he was a spirit.
Jesus is now teaching in the synagogue. He is the Bread of Life. Pastor Kilman did a sermon on this, and I was there for it. Very fascinating. We must drink of Jesus blood, and eat of His flesh too. Or we cannot be saved. Jesus then travelled the Galilee. Even in Galilee, the Jewish authorities were looking for Him.
Jesus spared the life of the adulterous woman. Once again, He is confronted by the Pharisees on this matter. Jesus explains, “The Father who has sent Me, is with Me”. The Pharisees knew neither Jesus, nor the Father. Yet, they claimed to be Holy. Jesus is the Good Shepherd.
Jesus is waiting to raise Lazarus from the dead. He is also going back to Jerusalem. Jesus no longer traveled openly, because they were looking to kill him. The Pharisees and the Chief Priests had given orders, that anyone who saw Jesus must turn Him in.
Jesus is entering Jerusalem riding on a donkey. He is headed for His moment of humiliation and death. Jesus is discussing how He is the Light, and how we can be the people of the Light. Even though He had performed all these miracles. They refused to believe. Isaiah said God has blinded there eyes, and there minds. It was God who blinded them to the truth. So, that He might be lifted up for us.
Jesus is being betrayed. He is being handed over to the Chief Priests and Pharisees. Jesus calls us friends, not servants. a servant doesn’t know what its master does. But Jesus told us everything. “Love one another”. If people persecuted Jesus- they will persecute us. They no longer have any excuse for there sin. They hate both Him and His Father. They hated Him for no reason at all. Jesus is prophesying not only His Asencion, the coming of the Holy Spirit, and His eventual return. Jesus has defeated the World.
Judas led the Temple guards, to find Jesus. At the garden, where He prayed. Jesus asked them twice, “Who are you looking for?” “Jesus” they said. Now Peter denies Jesus. Three times. Before the rooster crowed. Jesus said, “My Kingdom does not belong to this world”.
Now the Jews want Jesus crucified. Even though Pilate found nothing to condemn Him for. The Jews wanted Jesus killed for “blaspheme”.
Here, you can watch it for yourself. Its very moving.
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!
The Courier
