“IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT” {video link above}

“StillWatch” by Mary Higgins Clark

Mary Higgins Clark wrote a book entitled “StillWatch”, and a “stillwatch” was described as when someone, who senses that something terrible is about to happen to another person whom they care about, stays up all night, watching and waiting, in case they can help in any way, when the attack comes.

Well, I thought that fit in with what many of us are actually doing around the world right now, with what has been taking place in wars and conflicts galore. Especially with what has just taken place between Israel and Persia/Iran yesterday, as well as what’s been taking place between the murderers of hamas, and the Israeli military, due to the horrific, animalistic attack on civilians in southern Israel–men, women and CHILDREN–on October 7th, 2023.

“Heavenly Father, please protect Israel, and thank you so much that our country, the United States, along with other countries, such as Great Britain, have begun coming to Israel’s aid right now. In Jesus’s name, Amen.”

I do recommend watching current videos by Amir Tsarfati from Israel:

As well as videos from CBN {sorry that only some videos appear on here, yet others just provide their URLs}:

This has all become a genuine “nail bitter”, but also a call to prayer to God for His help and His comfort, His strength, and His wisdom, as we deal with all of this.

We, as mankind, try, and even do, our very best, yet we will never be capable of solving problems such as evolve into these awful wars between us, the way God can. In fact, God actually has insisted, in his written word, that we stop trying to rely solely on our own abilities, and begin trusting in Him, and in His Might, to help with all the horrors that we end up creating due to our fighting with one another.

“O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” [Psalm 34:8 KJV]

“In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.” [Psalm 56:11 KJV]

” Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.” [Jeremiah 17:5 KJV]

{Amen}

So, I will be keeping my own version of that “StillWatch”, with me staying up and watching over both Israel, and my own country, These United States of America.

{ To me, this is the Perfect song that fits the “occasion” , in which we now find ourselves.}

It’s past time we wake up to what’s been going on right under our noses and right before our eyes, yet we never really noticed, or if we did, we never thought the haters could ever get far enough to take over as many of the ‘reins of power’ that they now have. Enough of them to cause us to fight like crazy to regain control once again, and place us back under the genuine laws that frame our form, and under the auspices of those who will level them fairly, and rightly.

Right now, I guess many of us feel like we’ve been relegated to the proverbial “dog house”–and, having that cat perched on top of it adds stinging salt into the wound{Ouch!}

My Dream Home

A Song In Storm

    By Rudyard Kipling

“…No matter though our decks be swept
And mast and timber crack,
We can make good all loss except
The loss of turning back.
So, ‘twixt these Devils and our deep
Let courteous trumpets sound,
To welcome Fate’s discourtesy
Whereby it will be found, etc.…” 

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

J. R. R. Tolkien

  I suppose, at this juncture in my life, being able to ever live in the home I dream about is most likely out of the question, but that doesn’t stop me from going through with dreaming about it. Here goes then, with my attempt to describe what it’s like.

  I love log homes best of all, and the bigger the better. All logs, both inside and out, with very little-to-no dry wall to be found on the interior walls. I’ve looked at many log homes online over the years, and I find myself attracted to those with grand entryways, and sweeping staircase[s] near the front door. So breath-taking!

Unlike this one below:

   I have nothing against the living area, but egads{!} that staircase! Well, given a nice make-over, I’d never say “Never!” if someone gave the cabin to me. 🙂

  My dream house kitchen would definitely NOT look like this one:

  I’m not into the “Rustic Look” all that much. Don’t feel badly for those whose homes have been pictured here, because they are all “Public Domain”, So, I think they are either staged or, if owned, they might not mind comments, good or bad. [If they do mind, I’ll apologize profusely, believe me!]

  I’ve loved the photos of the log home kitchens that have a fairly low ceiling which makes the whole room seem so nice and cozy, warm and friendly. Of course, my cooking range must be like this one:

  That’s my dream stove. My husband took one look at it, heard it’s approx. price [around $7,000,once I’d finished with all the ‘ad-ons’ to be had], and he told me to “Dream on!” lol [Oh, how I love his subtlety [!] ] 

  I do love our present home, even if it’s definitely miles away from being a lovely log home. However, in spite of toying with the whole idea, I’ve decided against ever using any product on the interior walls that claims to mimic genuine logs. Once I actually touched a wall on which it was applied, and was shocked back into sensibility, I know I would just break down in tears. After all, it would remind me that what I’d love to have, has been left off of heaven’s gift list for me, as per the wishes of God. Because I believe in Him and His having my best interest at heart, come-what-may, I realize that to see my not achieving that area of my life’s ‘wish list’ as anything negative, is to tell my heavenly Father that I think His provisions for me are lacking in that way {which is to be telling God Almighty that I disagree with Him about that–and, I can’t even imagine ever doing that sinful thing!}

  Well, if I’m totally honest about my real ‘Dream’ home, I’d have to include this as one of the top few places on my tattered and torn ‘wish list’:

  Yes, and why not? I do believe my self-designed home-sweet-home would just fit under the Tower quite nicely, with an elevator from it clear up to the tippy-top. The top area would have a beautiful, flat area on which a table, complete with table cloth, flowers and candles, would rest. Along the outer rim would be a 4 ft.steel lattice-worked wall on every side, interwoven with lovely flowering vines.

  Aren’t dreams amazing–as well as shear torture when unrealized? Well, it’s said that, whatever doesn’t kill us is good for us, so there’s that for a positive.

…or Would You Like To…”

November 10, 2023

“…Friday’s child is loving & giving…”

“…swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar, and be better off than you are…or would you rather be a….”

I just finished listening to an assessment of what’s really going on within the war between hamas and Israel, and it’s just as shocking to me as it was to witness how many people claiming to be Americans came out to side with Israel’s sworn enemy, and demonstrating such hatred towards Israel that it boggled my mind.

How and why is that happening?! Yet, I need to remember that most of us, Americans included, have grown up with very little knowledge of God’s word which teaches us all about Biblical Israel, as well as we all have extremely little knowledge of just who Jesus of Nazareth was/is, and why we who believe in Him are called by His title of “Christ”–that’s Greek of course, but the New Testament was written in Greek

So, we, who belong to Jesus, go by the wonderful name of “Christian”. Yet, not enough Christians even have a viable, working knowledge of God’s written word, let alone the actual Word of God, which is Jesus Christ.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” [Isaiah 9:6 AKJV]

Yet, we, as Americans, have an inherent obligation to uphold the freedoms we have been guaranteed tohav e and to hold within our own constitution. We are told that we have the unalienable right to FREEDOM OF SPEECH. So, sure, it means those who hate Israel can say so outloud if they wish.

It also means that they can NOT try to shut down the free speech of those who support, if not love, Israel, so who support them. Especially support them in their ongoing struggles to keep others, such as adherents of hamas, from doing them harm, both physical harm, as well as emotional harm with their constant words, most of which are downright lies, spoken against them.

Certainly, freedom of speech means people can abuse others by lying about them, but, since that’s so, those who know the Truth need to speak it out far more loudly in order to rebuff the lies. Right? Of course!!

Yet, why does it seem as though the Truth whispers, while the liars seem to be shouting their lies from the rooftops, and from every publication, radio and tv station known to mankind these days? It’s atrocious!

When the size of those crowds of hamas supporters, from around the world, were shown on tv screens, I was not only shocked, but sickened! How in the world, I wondered, can so many people be in support of the murderers, and against the family members of those who were so brutally murdered?! It’s like having a judge and jury all made up of the family members of each murderer in this case–it’s ridiculous!

{I want to assure everyone right now that, should much harm come to Israel due to the medling by the dems in charge of our govt. right now, God Almighty still has this lovingly delivered to them, yet it’s a firm warning for you}:

” 12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: ² and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

“…³ and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed…” {Genesis 12:1-3 AKJV}

The thing is–God never rescinded what He said about that to Abraham. Therefore, I’m thinking that it’s still in effect. How else can I rationally, and logically explain why seemingly sane people from around the world could side with the murderers against those they’ve killed, whose kin are now attempting to eradicate those responsible? As well as to destroy their horrid cashes of arms that they’ve planned to use to kill even more Israeli men, women and children?! People who have always sought to live peaceably with/next door to those who want to go on hating them forevermore. It’s astounding

Is their undying hatred for the Jews based on lust for the land the Jewish people live on? Could that seemingly endless supply of animousity against the Israelis be based on jealousy because God chose the Jewish people for His very own? [Even though most of us were never chosen by God to be among His people, yet He still loves all of us.] As God has said about the Jewish people, they are “the apple” of His eye, so woe to those who harm them.

This time of the year is so special to all of us. It’s harvest time here, in the northern hemisphere, with the days and nights growing more steadily frosty with each passing week. It’s our time to give Thanks to God for His harvest, no matter how bountiful or meager. It’s His gift to us all, so if it’s meager we should stop to ask “Why?”, since our behavior is behind most of His gifts to us.

The constant struggle we witness taking place all around us, especially these days, is not merely a matter of “good vs. bad”. Instead, it’s the ongoing war between “Good/God vs. Evil”. So, if our thoughts and behaviors reflect more of the “Evil” we are capable of, rather than the “Good/God” side of our very nature, then perhaps our harvest will be far more meager than it could have been. That’s actually For Our Own SAKES.

Because, as the Lord Himself told us all through His own disciples, who wrote down all that God wished to be included in His written word to us all:

“⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” {John 3:16 AKJV}

Don’t look on what I said as some kind of nagging, overbearing guilt trip I’m trying to send you on. Just look at it as coming from someone who cares about you and wishes to let you know what God has said, both about how He loves Israel, and how He loves ALL of us. As well as how He views the sins we commit, not the least of which is lying[!], which brings immeasurable harm to us all in more than just one or two ways. Also, hatred is a soul-killer. Love leads to forgiveness, which together lead to a good life, and to healthy minds. So….

Miracle Of The Wild Cherry Tree Seedling

March 28, 2021

“And the child that is born on the Sabbath day, Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.“

There was a lady who loved the idea of gardening, but who never had the chance to develop any real skill at growing anything that would continue to live. A very sad predicament But, to her defense, she and her family had been a military one, that had moved quite a few times over 20 years, so she never really had a garden all of her own.

Finally the time came during which she had an amount of gardening area she could only have dreamed about having, so she was very excited to begin transforming her new yards into her very own version of “Kensington Gardens”, of sorts. Well, at least she’d be able to plant what she wanted, and sculpt the areas using plants, into the dreamscape she loved to envision.

She began slowly at first, and tried raking the front yard once Spring arrived. That’s when she spied a tiny sapling [seedling really] that had grown up unexpectedly in amongst a grouping of Lilac bushes. She recognized it as being the sapling of a wild cherry tree. It’s parent was already established in the front yard, along with what the previous owner of the property seemed to have viewed as pesky saplings that he had attempted to eliminate from existence by chopping their little tops off. They were a plucky lot though, even if a bit mangled. Two were Norway Maples, and the other was the parent cherry tree to the tiny sapling she was wondering about: should she just leave it where it was, or should she even dare to try and relocate it to her back yard where there were no trees at all?

Well, she finally decided to at least try and see if she could take the tiny sapling to the back yard, and try to replant it, and see if something she’d tried to plant and get to grow would finally live to see the next day, let alone the following days, weeks and months. She took a spade shovel and gingerly took as much earth up with the tiny baby tree as she could, then very carefully carried it all into the back yard. She then began excavating a new home for her new-found infant cherry tree. As she did so, she continued praying, asking God Almighty, who had made all things, to please help the little thing live, but to forgive her if it did as most other plants did when in her care, and just up and died!

She loved that little tree as much as she loved any pet she’d had during her whole life. So, right before she’d finished placing the last bit of soil into the hole, and had watered the little sapling well, she suddenly reached out to it with her right hand, and through her hand went such power it was breath-taking: she recognized who’s power that was, too, especially when her hand touched the sapling’s leaves and stem of a trunk, and she ‘heard’ in her head, or heart, God telling the little thing to “GROW!” It was awesome! Stunned, she put her shovel down, and sat on the back step, as she tried to help herself believe in what had just happened.

As she sat there wondering if she had really experienced a miracle, that had been her heavenly Father doing something so loving and kind for both her and her new little charge, the two puppies that were out in the back yard with her ran passed the little sapling. However, as one of them did so, she reached out and bit off the top of the now-seemingly-ill-fated cherry tree! She would have screamed in abject horror at what she’d just witnessed, but she was far more dumb-struck by it, since the pup appeared to have killed the very baby tree that she had thought God had just commanded to grow!

Well, she finally decided she only had one choice, and that was to trust in what the Lord had done by telling the cherry tree sapling to “Grow!” If He really had done that then the little sapling would live. So, sure enough, it hadn’t been killed by the pup, and it did continue to grow. However, as it did so, it developed two ‘leaders’, instead of just the one. That was disconcerting, at least it was alive!

As the next spring arrived, the little, now ‘two-headed’, sapling began showing leaf buds. However, she was very disheartened over the fact that it would have two trunks, not just the one, so it might not develop as it should. While feeling so upset over that fact, she flipped on the tv. On the channel that came on the screen just so happened to be a gardening show. As she half-heartedly stood there watching what was going on during the show, the head gardener suddenly began explaining to his audience what can be done to help correct the very situation that afflicted her little tree. She turned and grabbed a good pair of sharp scissors [no time to hunt up the pruning shears!] and she immediately headed out the back door. Once she reached the little sapling, she said a silent prayer asking God to please help in that situation, then she took the scissors, looked closely at the two stems, made her ‘executive decision’, and snipped off one of it’s two limbs. She had been holding her breath during all of that, so she could finally straighten up and breathe again. Whew! Glad that was over!

All through that spring and summer the little sapling grew straight and tall. Well, it was taller than it had been the summer before anyway! By the time it’s third summer was well underway, the little sapling wasn’t so little anymore! In fact it was big enough that she could spread wildflower seeds under it’s spreading branches. It must have been about 6-7 feet tall by then, too. A very healthy height for such a young sapling. But, it was no longer a tender sapling, because it now had genuine bark covering the outside of it’s trunk and on it’s branches.

It’s now been 26 years since she first found it, and miracle of miracles, it’s grown into a very large, handsome-looking specimen of a wild cherry tree, with rugged, well-weathered bark on it’s trunk. To her that rugged look just seemed to fit her not-so-little charge. After all, it has to be tough coming back after having your top bitten off by a precocious puppy, as well as surviving the operation that left you with only one ‘leader’ instead of two!

“⁵ O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

⁶ Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

⁷ I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

⁸ I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.”{Psalm 119:5-8 KJV}

Amen.

Christmas-Hating Grinches

November 10, 2021

“Wednesday’s child is full of woe…”

“Thank you so much, I so appreciate all you and Dr. Carter are doing to help us with this very thorny type situation of dealing with people who seem to have been born minus a heart. At least a heart for others, instead of just for themselves. I have wondered how this one family member came to dislike, and even hate, Christmas, and I told him I thought it was due to having no good memories of Christmas times as a child, thanks to his mother. That woman even went so far as to decide that her ‘favorite’ grandson didn’t need a Christmas tree on his very first Christmas. What a hard-hearted person!
A movie I love to watch on occasion that actually deals with this type of thing[ not just about holiday grinchiness, but all types of grinchiness] is a Bette Davis movie called “Now Voyager”. I love it when she finally ‘comes of age’, and, with help from a very skilled, sympathetic psychiatrist, is able to rise above being beaten down by her over-bearing, hyper-critical mother. It’s so refreshing to see that. Plus, it contains some things that can help someone like me have hope that all is not lost, and recovery is a possibility after all.
My own mother is not the one who tried to do that sort of thing to me, thankfully. I have wonderful Christmas memories as a child. But, having anyone in my life who tried literally to step on my heart at times, and who ended up hating me by the end of her life, which brought me nothing but even more heartache and grief from others who believed every lie she ever told them about me, was hard enough. Being around someone like her for so many Christmas seasons nearly ruined my own view of the holiday by the time she passed away.”

“The real offense, as she ultimately perceived, was her having a mind of her own at all. Her mind was to be his–attached to his own like a small garden-plot to a deer-park.” {Henry James}

Shakespeare is perfectly describing the injustices that too many of us have been facing for far, far too long:

“Through tattered clothes small vices do appear Robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, And the strong lance of justice breaks Arm it in rags, a pigmys straw does pierce it.” {Shakespeare}

“…Because He Was Secretariat, More Than Just a Horse…”

October 14, 2021

“Thursday’s child has far to go…”

What else can be said about the apparently greatest race horse/stallion who ever lived? Well, probably not much else. Except to recount how knowing about him, and being able to watch him race, even if only on video, has added beneficially to my life, through my heart. Never did I ever think the time would come when I could see a horse like Secretariat run like no other horse on earth has ever run. But, why? Why now? [Never mind why him!]

So, why did a horse like Secretariat show up back in 1970, his birth year, and grow up to become that greatest of all race horses beginning with becoming “Horse of the Year” as a 2 yr. old, then winning the Triple Crown of racing, not by a hair or a whisker, but literally “By a mile!”[?][31 lengths in the Belmont Stakes], then win “Horse of the Year” again that same year[1973]? Most people will sadly say “No reason, just chance”. Sort of saying that all the molecules in your body just happened to arrange themselves, mindlessly, in the proper order so that, when you look in the mirror you see you, and not a frog, or a tree. The reason they’d believe something like that is due to not knowing enough about God, and what He says in His written Word.

Without that knowledge, both in heart and in head, the world can seem like a “random act of order”…like if you threw down a fist full of ‘Pick-up Sticks’, and when they landed they formed the very shape of, including in size, the huge log home you’d always dreamed about–nice thought–but, we know that would never happen, if WE tossed those sticks ourselves. However, if we believe that an Omniscient Being, whom we refer to as God Almighty, were to throw those same sticks? Couldn’t He then arrange to have them land in such a way as to create that beautiful log home, Himself? [No wonder many people hate analogies–I now think I do, too!]

Anyway, the point being is that a Creator-God could do what we could NEVER do–take those same molecules and bring them into an arrangement that enabled you to actually see you in that mirror, and not anyone, or anything, else but YOU. Make sense? So, that’s why I see Secretariat coming ‘on the scene’ as He did, to run and win as he did, nothing short of a God-created miracle. But, doesn’t a miracle need a reason before it can happen?! In other words, why would God create and then place a ‘superhorse’, like Secretariat, where He did–to accomplish what exactly? Because, after all, miracles are serious occurrences, whether they are large or small, so not to be taken lightly.

not Here is how I now view the reason[the main one] as to why God placed ‘superhorse’, Secretariat, when and where He did, and possibly why He did, as well. It has nothing at all to do with the people involved with racing, or with those involved with his main competition in those races. It has to do with what God was showing to us by whom he raced against–not the horse, but what it’s name represented. Because, it’s the only idea I could come up with that made enough sense to me: Secretariat outran the greatest race horse of that year, who, in trying to keep up with Secretariat in those races, broke track records himself. Secretariat’s main competition also had a very large heart that was also passed down to him through his mother, as well. However, he didn’t have the benefit of the breeding that God gave to Secretariat through his father, Bold Ruler, and through his mother, Somethingroyal, who was able to pass not just that huge heart onto her son, but, thanks to her father, Princequillo, passing the genes for great stamina onto her, that she was able to gift Secretariat with: the strength, and stamina, he needed to go the distance and literally leave his competition ‘in the dust’.

I suppose you’re all about to scream, “We, that’s all fine, but, who was Secretariat’s main competition especially during the Triple Crown races?!” Ok, ok, I know…but, rather than tell you, let me show you via a fitting video tribute to that wonderful, but ill-fated Thoroughbred[if you love horses, and animals in general, you might shed a tear or two while watching this]:

{Then, let you all figure it out the way I did!} Rest in peace both of you, Secretariat, and Sham. God did, does, and always will, love you both. You did me a great service, and I’m so glad God enabled me to finally see what that ‘small miracle’ was–only it wasn’t a small miracle, but a very great one! Now, “Onward Christian Soldiers[marching AS to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before…]:

“Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe
Forward into battle see His banners go
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before

At the sign of triumph Satan?s host doth flee
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise
Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise
Like a mighty army moves the church of God
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod

We are not divided, all one body we
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity
What the saints established that I hold for true
What the saints believed, that I believe too
Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold
Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled
Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane
But the church of Jesus constant will remain
Gates of hell can never against that church prevail
We have Christ’s own promise, and that cannot fail

Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song
Glory, laud and honor unto Christ the King
This through countless ages men and angels sing

{Amen}

           JFK was not a perfect person, just like the rest of us are not.  However, once he became president something seemed to happen within him, that led to him challenging the secretive societies that try and rule this world.  He loved this country, and took the office of our president very seriously.  That’s why, when he realized the extent of the corruption within our govt., and how it desperately needed to be stopped before it ended with the deaths of this country, along with it’s citizenry, he decided to begin speaking out against it.  The last time he did so was only 7 days before his assassination.

            So far as I can see, we are either at the beginning of a brand new chance to make our society, along with our country, move closer to God, thus quite possibly, making it better-than-ever, or we are in for the fight of our lives against what disguises itself as “the progressive left”.  I have felt two diametrically opposed ways since this last election on November 8th:  Over-the-moon happy & terrible dread that wells up from within.  The quote I’ve used as the title to this blog comes from Ray Bradbury’s book entitled, “Something Wicked This Way Comes”.  I couldn’t agree with that sentiment more right now if I tried.  It’s as though many of us are feeling that exact same thing:  Happiness, coupled with dire…

Honest Investigation Is a GOOD Thing….

“October 13th, 2021”

“Tuesday’s child is full of grace…”

Hi Roger! I had to blog post my comment to you on this video because youtube seems to have taken away my posting privileges. [I just don’t know how to arrange for you to see this blog post from me, since youtube won’t allow me to post anything now]

“The sheer weight of the flood waters might be one reason things like your goose, Caesar, were compressed flat as the minerals in the water gradually replaces all, or most, of the flesh[etc.], which ended by ‘petrifying’ it. What grosses me out the most about dead giants making up most of what we walk on every day now, or view as gorgeous mountain ranges, is the idea that our ancestors, who lived after the flood, carved into the flesh of dead giants while it was still wet. Yikes! Like at Petra, or all the ‘stones’ that they used to build things like the pyramids, and walls found all around the world that appear now as stone. It might mean that those ‘stones’, that now are hard as rock, were still pliable while being built.
As Americans, we need to stand strong against those who would try to prevent us from speaking freely about things like this, instead of our capitulating to those who bully us to keep us from talking about things like this, [or even if we try to investigate the idea that the earth is an enclosed system, not a spinning ball hurling through space, etc.] What’s wrong with doing some investigating, and even testing those conclusions we were taught as we grew up? Nothing! Yet, we are ridiculed, made fun of, called ugly names, but why?! They say that you take on more ‘flack’ the closer you are to the true ‘target’, since what they seem to be protecting they either can’t defend, or what they wish to believe is built on nothing more than a ’tissue of lies’.
I find this subject fascinating, as I do the investigation into the shape of the earth, etc. What’s repulsive, imo, is being attacked by those who can’t even begin to defend the ‘truths’ we were taught in school about the universe or even about this subject, of rocks being petrified giant beings whom God did away with due to the horrible creatures it appears that they were[Genesis 6}. Thank you for what you do! If your conclusions are wrong, then why doesn’t someone step up to honestly challenge your ideas, instead of trying to shut you up?!”

Thank you for what you are doing, and thanks to all who are like you, and are keeping the avenues to freedom of investigation on our parts alive, not allowing those who ‘throw rocks’ at those like you who are just trying to get to the bottom of the anomalies you’ve found, and many of us have come across, such as all the “Ooparts”[Out Of Place Artifacts] found all over the world!

Remember 1917 “Marxism”…Russian Style

12/14/2020

“Monday’s child is fair of face…”

“Remember what happened in Russia back in 1917? Remember the term “Coup D’Etat”? That’s what’s going down right now, with the leftists lying and cheating their way into taking over this govt., and planting their own puppet ‘president’ into the White House. Isn’t that called an “Insurrection”, even if they are trying to cloak it under a mantel of ‘righteousness’, thanks to the ‘election’? If so, doesn’t the president have any way that it can be thwarted, or brought to a stop? If so, imo, that’s what it’s going to take to prevent the leftist lovers of karlmarx from running roughshod over us all, and commandeering our govt., and turning the country into what was depicted in George Orwell’s “1984”, or outright horror on earth, with ‘big brother’ doing what he wants with those of us who oppose him, and with “the sky’s the limit” on what he can do to us, tragedy will ensue, of that I’m very sure.”

I wrote the above paragraph and posted it online, as a comment on that subject. I just wanted to preserve what I said, in case all censorship breaks out, in the way people have described hell breaking out over somethingorother–Those in the wrong never even try to discuss the real merits, if any, behind the ideas they have embraced, and wish to live by–they do the exact opposite of discussion–they scream, shout […and, knock {themselves} out…], using some of the foulest language known to mankind.

They even threaten violence against those who oppose them, and constantly resort to using the psychological “projection” tactic, in which the guilty accuse the innocent of being guilty of what those in the wrong are guilty of doing themselves–ugly, and it can’t work if it’s opposed by those armed with the truth. However, it seems that most in positions from which they might help counter the lies, have come to the battle unarmed–why is that? I believe I know why, but trying to explain what’s behind it all would take more than the time I have right now. Suffice it to say that the left’s seemingly brainless adherents may act like 2 year old children throwing tantrums in order to get their own way, but in reality they are adults whose threats of violence against their so-called opponents is far worse than a 2 year old kicking you in the shins once they are told “No!” You can give a 2 year old a “Time out” by seating the child in a chair facing a corner, but what can be done with an adult who acts like a 2 year old, but comes armed with some type of weapon, be it brick or be it bat, it still can easily be recognized as a type of weaponry, that can do major harm to whomever it’s used against.

Some people have been claiming that we are at war, and I have to agree with them on that–the whole of mankind is involved in this current form of warfare–war of a spiritual nature as well as a physical one–but that doesn’t mean that, those on the side of the devil are throwing marshmallows at us–oh, no–anyone who’s been injured by one of their ‘weapons’ understands how very dangerous their weaponry can be.

However, God, the Father, has equipped us with far greater weaponry:

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” [Hebrews 4:12 KJV]

And, also realize this:

“2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. 3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly… 4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.” [Micah 7:2-4 KJV]

Hmmmm….I wonder what God meant by what was said in verse 4, especially the last part of that verse? I wonder–should those who hate Him, and reject His Son, Jesus, be worried as to the prospects of their eternal futures–or not? I mean, adopting that “devil-may-care”[but I don’t] attitude stays good for just so long–in the end, those who have adopted it probably wish they could still have it annulled! Just sayin’…

I, said the Sparrow,
with my bow and arrow,
I killed Cock Robin.

Who saw him die?
I, said the Fly,
with my little eye,
I saw him die.

Who caught his blood?
I, said the Fish,
with my little dish,
I caught his blood.

Who’ll make the shroud?
I, said the Beetle,
with my thread and needle,
I’ll make the shroud.

Who’ll dig his grave?
I, said the Owl,
with my little trowel,
I’ll dig his grave.

Who’ll be the parson?
I, said the Rook,
with my little book,
I’ll be the parson.

Who’ll be the clerk?
I, said the Lark,
if it’s not in the dark,
I’ll be the clerk.

Who’ll carry the link?
I, said the Linnet,
I’ll fetch it in a minute,
I’ll carry the link.

Who’ll be chief mourner?
I, said the Dove,
I mourn for my love,
I’ll be chief mourner.

Who’ll carry the coffin?
I, said the Kite,
if it’s not through the night,
I’ll carry the coffin.

Who’ll bear the pall?
We, said the Wren,
both the cock and the hen,
We’ll bear the pall.

Who’ll sing a psalm?
I, said the Thrush,
as she sat on a bush,
I’ll sing a psalm.

Who’ll toll the bell?
I, said the Bull,
because I can pull,
I’ll toll the bell.

All the birds of the air
fell a-sighing and a-sobbing,
when they heard the bell toll
for poor Cock Robin.

Donations vs. Fixed Prices

October 22, 2020

“Thursday’s Child has far to go…”

“I am thankful to you for all of the work you have done on behalf of our heavenly Father and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to reach those who do not know Christ, and to help teach those who do know Him, important things that have been skipped over, ignored, or disbelieved by much of the world, including those who profess faith in God and Christ, who dismiss these types of subject, and/or who scoff at them. The disbelief surrounding miracles, and the power of God and Christ, and of God’s working in the lives of people here on earth, is not just dismaying, it is literally despicable. However, what I’d like to say to you about those things that you have produced to sell to others, please think about this: what if you asked people for donations, instead of setting a price on things such as your books and dvds? I am sure that many of us would own them all if we had the wherewithal to purchase them. I just believe that many more who can not afford to buy everything you’ve produced for us, would be recipients and be blessed by the things you teach us, than can ever be reached right now. I understand profit, and how vital it appears to all of us, in order just to survive in this world. However, when I think about you and how it might work out for you that would be beyond your wildest dreams for yourself, and those in your life, I see heaven’s blessings pouring out on you, in thanks and gratitude to you for helping some of the least among us to learn the things contained within your work. Those who could give even more for your work would, given the chance, and prompting from our Lord, and those who have not, could obtain the work for whatever they could part with, if anything at all. God’s blessings, Trey.“

Just a copy of the note I wrote this morning and published on YouTube:

{I don’t know if that link will work, because things have changed on Word Press since I first began publishing my blog on here years ago.}

I said what I did about Christians putting together some great researched information, and wonderful insights into God’s word, as well as some great investigative information concerning Biblical characters such as King Og of Bashan, as well as what was meant by God in what is said in the verses from Genesis 6:

“Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, ² that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were ^[a]beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. ³ Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not ^[b]strive with man forever, ^[c]because he also is flesh; ^[d]nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” ⁴ The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

⁵ Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ⁶ The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved ^[e]in His heart. ⁷ The Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the ^[f]sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.” ⁸ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.” {Genesis 6:1-8 NASB}

Numbers! Numbers! Numbers!

October 20, 2020

“Tuesday’s child is full of grace…”

I wrote the note posted below to someone on YouTube, because I wish to preserve the things I write about online, due to the subject matter.

“

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I wish I could buy everything you put out for us, but I did manage to purchase Nimrod in Kindle form, and I’m excited to learn whatever is contained in it. As for certain numbers showing up these days, I’m presuming they are noticed mostly on digital clocks, when a clock is involved. I began noticing 1111, and 111, ir even 1011, years ago, and since I wasn’t sure what it meant or why I kept seeing it on my husband’s bedside clock, I tried to ignore it. I do not like digital clocks but he does, so that’s why I kept on noticing certain numbers like that. [I have this love for clocks, real ones{!} :), so I have them all over the house, big and small ones, and I always tell people that “”All times in this house are approximate”, lol, since it’s tough to set them exactly on the right time.] Also, not long after that, I also began noticing 3.33 , or simply 333 , and even 3333 on other sources unrelated to clocks. I knew 333 represented the portion of angels who threw in with satan, but not what it might mean that I kept on noticing those , as well as other numbers together like that. However, lately, the numbers in combination with one another that I have begun to notice on his clock are 3 4’s: 444, and on other sources it’s shown up as 4444. I understand that the number 40 represents trials and tribulations that God might have His people experience, to help strengthen their faith in Him and in Christ. My house address is 40, and believe me, the trials I’ve gone through over the years should have turned my hair white, but it didn’t, thanks be to God! [I am going to need to re-watch your video to be sure I understand what it all means exactly. Another thing I’d like to mention has to do with the Twin Towers in NYC, that were destroyed on 9/11/01. As I looked at pictures of them after they had been destroyed, I began to cry, and I realized how much our heavenly Father had loved those two building for whatever reason. Of course He loved those who had perished because of their destruction, but this was about those two buildings. He had loved them. The new one they erected to take it’s place, is one that is hated by Him. It’s as though they had destroyed something God considered precious and replaced it with something He considered very profane, including that [those?] damnable square hole in the ground that seems to just suck down every thing that is near it. I know they claim something good about it, but I see it as though it’s a hole straight down to hell, and the devil had it built to represent just that. God bless you, Trey, and all the work you do on behalf of God and Christ, for all of us.”

The subject was numbers and why many of us have been seeing certain number comfbinations as of late.

“The Russians” are NOT coming, but the ‘Spirit’ Behind 1917 IS!

“Why does this [not] surprise me, that someone claiming to be a man of God, follower of Jesus Christ, would so totally misconstrue what the “Q” movement has been about from the first day?! Please, do yourself a huge favor, and anyone who would ever listen to a word you have to say, and take off the ‘fear of the antichrist’ glasses and go back and re-read the Q post, keeping this in mind: a coup by Marxist communists in 1917 managed to destroy old Russia, ended in the deaths of millions of people at the hands of the communists, who’d persuaded the Russian people that to over-throw the Czar would end by ushering in this wonderful Utopian land of happiness, at last. Kind of like when poor Marie Antoinette was reported to have said, about the starving people of her country, “Let them eat cake!”[not wedding cake, however, but a French version that was not like a layer cake, but a type of ‘cake’ which they ate all the time anyway.] And for that comment she lost her head at the hands of some very blood–thirsty, rioting Frenchmen out for blood, or bloody revenge. If you would look into all that is surrounding “Q” you will find that the president, coupled with our military’s intelligence capabilities, is attempting to STOP that very same sort of govt. overthrow taking place in OUR country this time. What is behind those who wish to over-throw our govt. the way they overthrew the Russian Czar, as well as first overthrowing the King of France back in 1789[I guess that was practice for them, getting themselves all worked up over seeking the blood of their imaginary ‘enemies’]. It worked in France, and later it worked in Russia, for a season in each case. Now the Russians are once again in charge of their own country’s destiny, but the cost was so very high, as it was for the French. China managed to fall victim to the ‘spirit of 1917’, so to speak, and millions of her people were murdered by that Marxist regime as well. I guess now it’s our turn, hmmm? Yet, after president Kennedy was murdered in Dallas, those who realized what was on it’s way in our country decided to try and put together a plan to try and keep 1917 from happening here. What you read when you read a “Q” anon information drop is MI reaching out to us, by way of asking us questions, then telling us to use open-source info in order to do our research into the subject of the ‘drop’, and never allowing any classified info to be given to us–ever. When we are told something it’s because it no longer needs to be kept secret, since it’s an accomplished fact. However, MI wishes to help us understand, and learn about what the poor Russian people never really had a chance to learn about: who it was that was about to recruit them to help bring down their own Czar, in order to install their own version of a leader, who was Lenin, then later a brutal man named Stalin, who slaughtered many of them. This is going to take place here in our own country, led by those who’ve been hoodwinked by the same type of brutal liars and thieves, who only want their help in taking down this govt., but who will have no use for them once they achieve their primary goal, ala 1917 in Russia. Remember Trotsky, and what happened to him. You can scoff at all of this and make fun of us all you wish, but if you continue to do so there is no way I can ever consider you to be the minister of the Lord you apparently claim to be.”

October 19, 2020

“Monday’s child is fair of face…”

I wrote that note [above] to that so-called ‘minister’, after listening to him making fun of what amounts to the evil “spirit’ behind the overthrow of Russia back in 1917–it’s a very ugly thing, yet it first struck back in 1789 in France. Remember Marie Antoinette, and the “let them eat cake!” remark she supposedly said, that ended with those beastly members of the French version of the Bolsheviks [who rallied poor Russians to help them oust their Czar], having her beheaded! [The Bolsheviks, in that revolt of 1917, then replaced their Czar with someone far worse than he was, and later his successor was far, FAR, worse to the Russian people].

Yet, people continue to wish to believe that, what happened in France, then in Russia, then again in China, would never happen here–HA! Been taking notice of all the rioting, burning, pillaging and plundering taking place in many of our cities as of late?!

A “Coup” & Unconstitutional Censorship

September 24, 2020

“…Thursday’s Child has far to go…”

Please watch this video if you love this country[United States] at all. Things are growing more serious by the day now, and if we don’t realize this we most likely are ‘done for’.

When was the last time you realized that a hostile take-over of the govt. of our country was suddenly imminent and we were about to be forced into living under an evil, oppressive ‘regime’ whose roots were within one of the worst forms of human govt. that has killed millions upon millions of people whom they’ve come to control. It’s called by many names, such as “communism”, “Fascism”, and even “socialism”. Those helping to usher it into the United States probably have no clue that, once they’ve finished killing off millions of us, they will be NEXT.

“2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?…

…⁷ I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

⁸ Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

⁹ Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

¹⁰ Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

¹¹ Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.” {Psalm 2:1, 7-10 KJV}

Why[?] indeed! For the ultimate answer to that question please read the complete book of Genesis, and mainly what is told to us in chapter 3, especially in verse 5:

“⁵ For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

Did that happen? Well, yes and no. Mankind’s eyes were definitely opened, but humans also died spiritually, which opened us all up to having the ability to commit the most heinous crimes, as well as smaller ones such as telling “little white lies”. It’s not been as much fun as the serpent tried to make our founding mother and father believe, has it? Ask someone who’s lost a family member to violent crime, or to a terrible disease, how much ‘fun’ it’s been to have our eyes opened to both good and evil, and to have the ability to commit sins against God, who loves us, but who refuses to tolerate sin in His Kingdom–which is why we have an “advocate” with Him, who’s name is Jesus Christ, His Son, Our Savior, and Our Lord.

“And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” {Acts 16:31 KJV}

Saturday’s child works hard for ‘it’s’ living…..

Words coming from a lying mouth resemble what greeted the Trojans when they accepted that Greek gift without thinking things through…

I am trusting you will be able to understand what I will be attempting to convey on this subject, since sometimes words can actually serve to obfuscate when they were originally meant to enlighten. Ok, here goes:

To begin with, try to imagine that you are the victim of this gossip, but you are unaware for the most part, not realizing how that gossip is steadily eroding whatever bit of good reputation you had in the first place. So, this is your story:

We have far more than two or three people involved in your story of heartbreak and woe thanks to this gossip, but I can convey this story by only focusing on the three of you. That way it won’t become endlessly complicated, or convoluted.

You meet “the Gossip”-turned-mortal-enemy through a close relative, better known as your son. Things are fine, or so you think. You try to chat with her, try getting to know her better, and you believe all is going pretty well. However, you’ve been warned that she has some emotional issues, and they’ve made her unstable, and unpredictable. That’s fine, you think, since you’ve definitely had your share of emotional difficulties since you were 23, and with hard work on your part you managed to actually progress to the point at which you no longer needed to take any type of psychotropic drug. The intern on your case even stood up and applauded you the day you told him you were finally psych-drug free. That was a very proud moment for you and a very important one. It meant you had achieved what extremely few people ever achieve. You overcame intense hysteria, that is so destructive to the human psyche, most people never even bother to try and overcome it’s debilitating damage to their minds. However you are among those very few who did!

That’s why you think nothing of what you’ve been told about her, since you’ve talked to some who’ve outdone themselves when it comes to being emotionally disturbed. {I am referring only of those who seem to enjoy being among those who don’t even want to try and ‘get well’. Those who you can easily tell never want to even bother to try.}

However, as your chat with this young lady progresses, you seem to have made a mistake. You’ve made some kind of misstep that has caused her to look down at the floor, then finally it was as though during that brief period she had made up her mind: she didn’t like you a bit. Only, you have no idea just how much she now ‘dislikes’ you. Until the following weekend when she and he-who-is-your-son come for dinner. At first, you can’t quite believe what seems to be happening. She is chatting happily with your son, and your husband, yet never looks you in the eye, or speaks to you at all. Only, it’s worse than that. It’s not that she can’t look you in the eye. It’s that she’d apparently decided to write you off, altogether. Later, it would be rejection of your entire family, except for your son, of course, and the more-well-off-members of it.

Yet, you never actually understand something: it’s far worse than you could ever imagine. Later on, as the relationship between your immediate family, and she and your son-now-her-husband, goes steadily down hill, and you can’t quite figure out why things are as bad as they are. Nor can you understand the hateful way your son-now-her-husband has treated your husband-his-father. That fateful day, when your first-born son calls just to talk to you, and you are so upset you tell him that his brother’s behavior towards his dad has made you so angry, and as you are still speaking, your older son tells you he’ll call you right back. In the mean time, he has called his little brother and informed him via message[his brother was out of town] that perhaps if he couldn’t treat “mom and dad any better than that, maybe” he “shouldn’t see them ever again”! He called you right back and told you what he’d done, and you became very upset, and told him to call them right back and apologize!!!! So, he did, and he told you how sorry he was, but his brother’s behavior angered him that badly. It angered you that badly as well, but you had feared for some time that something might happen that would be the tipping point she was waiting for, so she could end everything, and pull your son away for ever.

You didn’t have long to wait. Only over the weekend, and until Monday afternoon. The phone rang, and as you answered it you heard her voice on the other end and she sounded so happy, so cheerful, that you breathed much easier, thinking that they must have heard your older son’s apology for what he’d said, and had accepted it. All was well–or, so you thought.

Yet, it only took a very brief moment or space of time before you heard the words you knew inside would arrive on your doorstep some day. The words, accompanied with unwarranted acid-laced glee, “Yes, I’m so happy that I NEVER have to have anything to do with YOU again!”

In total shock at hearing her say that, you hang up the phone and begin to walk to the nearest chair to sit down in, before the shock causes you to fall down! But, you never make it to that chair. Instead, she is calling you back. You numbly answer the phone, only to hear her say to you, “Oh don’t hang up–we aren’t through!” You feebly tell her “Yes, we are!”, and hang up again. Your worst nightmare had just come true. The one no one though was even going to ever happen, since they all had decided you were most likely just being paranoid, or mistaken about how bad things really were . You’d truly hoped they were right.

Unfortunately, she had just proven that you weren’t wrong, and it was like a knife through your heart , along with a stab in the back, at the very same time. You immediately called your husband-his-father to tell him what had happened, and even though you were crying he could figure out what you were talking about. He comforts you by telling you he’ll call your-son-{her-husband}, and get it all straightened out, and for you not to worry. Later, when your husband comes home, he reassures you that your son-her-husband had reassured him that they would both be over that evening, and get things all straightened out.

Alright. We’ve arrived at where the lying began in earnest on her part, to your son-her-husband, and your son was good to his word[“Mom, I know how no one stood up for you against grandmom, and I will never let that happen to[his-wife-your-now-enemy] Even if she is wrong I’ll still stand by her!”] So, when he never came over that night, you knew what had just happened, and that you would probably never be able to even see your new granddaughter ever again either, thanks to how much she irrationally hated you. A friend even cautioned you, when you found out where they had moved, and asked her to please just drive you by their house, that if she hated you as much as she apparently did, she might turn you in as some kind of stalker if she spotted you. That really frightened you, so you settled for seeing where they lived via Google maps! And, sending birthday cards and presents to your granddaughter, if and when you could.

The thing you didn’t know, though, was how your son-her-husband, and she had lied about what had happened, to other family members, who managed to believe her version because her husband-your-son backed her up–he lied, too. He lied to protect his ‘fair lady’–trashed you in favor of staying in good with his wife-your-[apparently]-sworn-enemy-for-no-good-reason–abominable!!

However, it never stopped there, and the way you were treated by several younger members of the family had it’s roots in misunderstandings, all the way down to outright lies. Gossip, behind your back had literally been destroying your life the way termites destroy a home. Yet you had NO clue just how terribly destructive it had deceptively become. You thought, {wrongly of course}, that “family is family”, and even though that was your ”motto” that you lived by, and because of it you never trashed another family member–ever–you didn’t realize what some of them were doing to your reputation.

You began to get some small inkling of it at a family member’s funeral, when perfect strangers to you stared un-smilingly at you as though you had two heads. A friend reassured you that they were just ‘NIBBY-NOSERS”, and for you to just ignore them. But you knew, inside, instinctively, that it was far, far worse than even she could ever have imagined. It wouldn’t be until the worst kind of tragedy struck, that the severe degree of the betrayal of you, by those family members, would begin to come to light. When your older son is killed, and your younger son-her-husband decides to defend her-his-wife’s ‘honor’, by denouncing you as being the one who had caused their estrangement from you for 5 years. When, in total disbelief over the lies you had just heard, you become incensed and tell him he’s lying, and he knows what had really taken place. Yet, he doubles down on the accusations against you, and you realize it’s because his cousin is sitting on the couch, and unbeknownst to you of course, he has backed up his wife-your-enemy’s lies to the rest of the family–and, they have believed them, and sympathized with them both. Yet, because your immediate family had never had the chance to have any type of close relationship with them, you didn’t really know any of them very well at all, nor they you. But, someone had misunderstood why you didn’t say goodbye to a certain other family member, before they passed on, and one of their children decided to ‘retaliate’ against you at the funeral, so was openly hostile towards you. She, too, had believed some apparently nasty comment, yet she never once asked you about the gossip that had caused her to become so angry at you.

That entire situation could have been and should have been averted by the family simply being a real family, who talked to one another, so knew each other. But, because you had never had the chance to have even a cup of coffee with any of them, which might have involved an actual chat, they didn’t really know you, or were you ever able to get to know them. Yet, look at how they’d ended up treating you, because of misunderstandings, second-hand-off-the-cuff remarks from others, and even deciding that since they’d heard bad things about you from a few others, maybe-just-maybe the gossips were right after all. So, you probably were that terrible a person, who only pretended to be nice. Plus, after she-his-wife-[of-your-son], must have laid it on pretty thick, along with her-husband-your-son backing her up, you could just hear the tongue-clucking, the heads shaking, and the wings outspread to take the poor waifs into the family fold–and to freeze you out!

None of the family ever bothered to comfort you or your husband the day your older son was killed, and after your younger-son-her-husband decided he’d rather try and hit you instead of letting his cousin know the truth about what had really taken place 5 years earlier, you had to tell him to “GET OUT!!” after you told him to “Go ahead–HIT ME!”–your older son-his-brother had just been killed, yet your younger son decides to perform another unthinkable act by continuing to perpetuate the damnable lie, in defense of his wife-your-enemy!

Oh, things only grow worse after that, for you and your husband, over the many ensuing years, with NOTHING ever being resolved, and the truth made known. There you are, an outcast, all thanks to a family member who acted more like the woman in the book, “Leave Her To Heaven”[made into a movie starring Gene Tierney]–the woman turns out to be a cold-blooded sociopath, and things only grew worse and worse for everyone as the movie progressed! Perhaps a good reminder…..

Anyway, that’s the sad tale of what gossip ended by doing to you, and the terrible heartache it’s brought you. How to fix it? If it were your own family–mom, dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.–you would call for a family meeting, and talk things over with everyone, who had known you since you were born–that would help to end it–however, it isn’t your family–it’s inlaws, who never did get to know you, yet who seemed to enjoy believing whatever lying piece of gossip involving you that came down the pike. Like the lie that you were jealous of their money, so had turned your children against them all. The truth is just the opposite: your children began becoming resentful of them due to their money. It was a little bit more than that. They had begun to notice that ‘that side of the family’ never called, never wrote, never visited, and it must have hurt them more than I even realized at the time.

Of course this kind of story is ‘as old as the hills’ but it’s still as deadly to the human heart, and to a human being’s life. And, for what?! All for nothing! It’s like that sad tale of the kingdom that was lost, all thanks to the want of a horse shoe nail:

“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”

― Benjamin Franklin

So said Ben, and when you realize the truth in that, then you tie it in with the effects of rotten gossip, you understand just how very right that all is–sadly, sadly so.

How GOSSIP Destroys

Saturday’s child works hard for ‘it’s’ living….

{This is so frustrating–I can’t get used to this new way of writing on here–it’s awful!}

Ok, see if you can follow this, because I am hoping I can illustrate the truth contained in my title by putting my thoughts on it onto this page:
