Father, Mother, Male, Female, an, Woman, Husband, Wife, Children, Boy, Girl.  God’s Design = One Flesh!

Warning: This is a Grappling Match Web-Site:

This is not a Roman Catholic Church supported Web Site.  Rather this site is essentially a personal journal of one man taking a risk to open self to the view of others.

It’s primary intended audience is the author’s children and Grand Children and perhaps future generations?  It is and has been engaged in reflecting upon the Spiritual War taking place in the modern world of today.

In the writers opinion, it is best described as a on-going grappling match / written description of the on going battle between the Great Deceiver and God’s design.  Often it can be described as a close intimate encounter when one is seeking to discern the truth – a la the original test in the garden.

       Grappling Explained: Main Rules, Sanctions, and History

Further it is based upon the story documented in the Book of Genesis referred to as the original Test in the Garden.  A story describing humanities nature initial fall called the original sinModern man seeks to deny sin as a reality while seeking to own the “Tree of Knowledge”! 

Yep!  Original Sin!

Arms Length – Smell of Sheep

Shepherd: Flock: So close: Takes on Smell:

The term used by Jesus to describe the leaders of the church was a Shepherd! Hmmm! Food for thought!! If one studies (perhaps even better lives with) what a “real” shepherd does, one learns a Shepherd spends so much time with the sheep, the shepherd takes on the smell of the sheep!
Seems to me that’s a lot of time among and exposure to real life human beings which has the potential to opening a doorway wide for the sheep to enter into the sacraments where the Shepherd seeks to lead the flock!

Take the Real Presence out into the Sheep’s grazing grounds:

Kinda the Shepherd’s task is to find ways to take the message, if you will the “real presence” out of the sacred place into the sheep’s grazing grounds!

Uncomfortable?

This might be a little -well maybe viewed as ohhh very uncomfortable for some Shepherd’s who might just encounter lost sheep including some who attend Mass every week!
Arms length might be a good description of one who is unable and unwilling to venture outside the sacred venues they have authority and essentially total control.

Arms Length – neither a “Yes” or “No”:

Arms length might be a good description of one who is unable and unwilling to venture outside the sacred venues they have authority and essentially total control.
This is not easy human reality! It’s just the reality of my journey! Arms length – neither a “yes” or a “no”!  Rather it is fear to enter into a relationship – and results in being non decisive!

A Gift I didn’t ask for:

Seems to me the good Lord gave me a gift I wasn’t shopping for!  Ten years with people suffering with HIV/AIDS fast forwarded facing the reality of death resulted in an immersion of myself into the world of sheep saying “I was born this way” – not understanding “in the beginning” they were exactly born this way – with “original sin” human natures in the beginning desire to define truth! Yes sin is still sin in spite of oh so many humans seeking to make real the original sin/unreality!

Kids – Puberty – Family – Anger – Do We have a Clue?:

Fast forward into the prison system and an encounter with 17 year old juveniles! Described not by me!!!! But by the veteran old timer incarcerated inmates! Just who qualified them?
Mad as hell with mom and dad is what they told me! How is it they can see it yet the modern world seeks selfie desire and silence truth! Throw away young people! Throw away the unborn! Throw away bodies based upon a facade! Throw away throw away all that does not meet the selfie agenda!

Suffering – the Message from the Cross:

Arms length – is my cross! Suffering is the hidden doorway behind which truth is found! Avoid suffering at all costs in favor of modern man’s dreaming, as catastrophe awaits!
Reminds me of these words!!! Turn around and come back to me! With whole heart, mind, soul and all your being = body!
Yep I will go to prison on Friday and if I some how smell different, forgive me! It is there I enter into the mystery and smell of the cost of faith and trust of the one who sent me!
If you read this May God Bless you!

Artificial Intelligence – Yikes:

In reference to AI ( artificial intelligence ) it is built upon a non living platform using software code while using the logic of the human programmer!
As a young man I wrote software that is still being used in the national Air Traffic System of this nation.  Always , the human Air Traffic Controller has the ability to make necessary adjustments.
The real reality is; AI by design will always have an embedded “Bias”!  As such AI posses a great threat to any balanced discussion of human principles and values!  AI as such is a simply a dumb non living pieces parts modern man calls a computer and as such a computer system can have no conscience!

The AI Question:

The question, humanity needs to be asking is simple! How far down this AI road is humanity willing to travel placing freedom in the hands of a non living device with no conscience?
People can change their mind during the process of an open debate! A computer can not! It is simply locked into the logic of the software running in a non living hardware that has no emotions, feelings, free will or any other God created eyes and ears to read and see the unspoken language only one with life, breath and soul can! Man is created in the image of God! Machine is non living!

Oh Oh – We are There — Government /  Political Use of AI:

When our government officials tell us they will use AI to eliminate bias we know we have embarked upon the most dangerous of journey’s! And they are today!
I was created for this day! So we’re you! Who will you serve? God or Man or a non living machine?

An Anti-Christ – with no Soul, no Conscience, no Eyes or Ears:

The Anti Christ’s description in scripture as if it is some form of a “multiple person” entity – not an individual! Computer programs are created and modified by multiples of various people over time who may never have experienced a joint discussion of the logic or purpose or followed up with sufficient testing to verify the system works as the designer thought!

The Programmer – human – fallible:

The above short description is what I encountered when I first began testing the software I wrote! I actually got mad at the computer for not doing exactly what my design concept was! The human = me – made the mistake! The computer did exactly what I programmed!
Fast forward – really real – with multiple layers of human programmers creating – who seldom if ever are able to enter into a discussion and debate!

By the nature of software creation and testing

“AI” will have an embedded multitube of layers of Bias!

Yes AI will have a bias! The trouble for mortal humans will be who can untangle the embedded multi person complex bias!
No One! Danger danger – the next God – the Anti- Christ! I was born for this day!

The New National Religion of the USA

Went to prison last Friday. Arrived on time – went to my assigned place. Guard told me no room for you! Go see the Chaplin and off I went – routine! Followed the Chaplin around and was assigned a room! “What do you have in mind for me today Lord!” My prison prayer – my classroom!

First inmate in is a young man who wants to become Catholic. I inform him I want him to pass a test. Write the Ten Commandments and the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church.

His response – he has talked with the older inmates and thinks I can answer his question better. So what’s on your mind?

I was born this way!

Something like – I am attracted to men and I was born this way!

Anyone think I was prepared for this? 1990 – 2000 I ministered to people with HIV / AIDS in the bowels of Atlanta. It was considered a crises in those days. HIV slowly overcomes the immune system and almost everyone thought it was a death sentence. I would say one could cut the atmosphere I walked into with a knife. Yes my classroom!

What did I hear repeated again and again. “I was created this way”! I describe it as a cry coming from deep down in the bones of one fast forwarded to facing the reality of Death. Yes many were dying and I learn to recognize the look of those as they approached deaths door.

The Body divided from the Mind, Emoptions without a Soul:

The body has a soul and the soul cries out in distress in multiple ways. Way back then I could not have told anyone but I was sent to be trained in preparation for today’s world and the LBGTQ+++ disconnect agenda from God’s design.

The young man’s question without hesitation told me I had managed to speak the truth without condemnation! I am not afraid of the LBGTQ+++ agenda or speaking the Truth.

In the beginning man demonstrated man could be deceived as man sought the eat the forbidden fruit – Modern man has not changed! Modern man has long been working overtime to disconnect human emotions, human imagination and the soul from the Body!

Abortion the Knife Used to Divide Body and Soul:

Abortion is a great analogy! To justify Abortion humanity has claimed an unborn child is not a person – just a piece of meat! We know better – science proves it – babies kick and turn – feel pain and on and on! Denial of Truth is the sand Abortion sits on!

When I was in middle school on I was afraid to ask girls out! But taking a shower with the boys was a piece of cake. Culture can manipulate humans! Malleable is the word to describe how humans can adapt to various cultural pressures.

There has been a ton of behavior study that has taken place that tells us young people’s imagination can be manipulated and data shows if left to natures process of puberty approximately 93% of young people are happy with their gender. The remaining roughly 7% have suicidal tendencies! I do not claim to be an expert in this regard yet know the studies are available.

The New Religion — Truth Upside Down — Fairy Tail Land = Reality:

Reality long ago the War was launched and prior to 2023 we had a new religion that is being propagated by the culture, supported by Hollywood, the new media, politicians and population control zealots.

The time I spent from 1990 through 2000 was walking in the midst of people crying out — “Who am I”!  My classroom for the great deceivers LBGTQ Agenda

That’s not all folks – No one went with me to the bowels of Atlanta in those days! But I know I was sent there to be taught in preparation for today!

Every human demands (instinctively) both spiritual and physical touch to be affirmed! The importance of holding and loving a child can not be overestimated. A child spent months listening to the heart beat of it’s mother!

Child brought up without a mother and a father is vulnerable!

1960’s: Prayer removed – JFK assassinated by our own government. LBJ war of poverty and the great society followed by the rapid decline of the black family followed shortly by all families regardless of faith!

The new “pronoun” religion placed into law!

Who is gonna speak up if not me?

What Do You have in mind for me today Lord?

No Room in the Inn ring a bell?

Went prison.  Guard “No room for you today”  Go see the Chaplin!  Off I went.  Followed Chaplin back to same location.  Not much said!  Few minutes and I had a room!

First inmate in is a young man who wants to become a Catholic.  Tell him I want him to be able to write the Ten Commandments and the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church.

Are You Ready?

His first comments are that he has been talking with older inmates and perhaps dues to my being an old man and a Deacon I might have a more clear answer.   Are you ready?  Well I was!  Way back in the 1990’s I spent ten years listening to his plea during the HIV / AIDS crises!

Holy Smokes:

Ready??  I am attracted to men and I was BORN this way!   How to answer raced my mind yet I realized just how valuable and deep probing was his acknowledgement.  It verified a few things immediately.  One who is unafraid to speak the Truth is not to be feared, but rather questioned in the search for the Spirit of Truth!  Wow how refreshing this young man’s questions is!  Obviously he did not immediately judge me to be homophobic or prejudice etc. Open I would say to the possibility that the Truth can set one free!  Who said that?

to be continued ……

 

 

A Talking Tattoo:

Friday Friday! Yep the day I go to prison. Yippie! On the way I pray! “Well Lord what do you have in mind for me today”?
Discipline:  Can anyone see Discipline?  Do you Love me enough?

Six Locked Doors – How many doors of your Heart are Locked?

Make it through six locked gates to my destination! Yep no place for me today! Long ago I learned to stand patiently and wait! And have learned long ago it is time set aside for me to be taught.

God’s Timing:

Has to be God’s timing! Door opens at the end of the hallway I am looking down. In marches white inmate with bold tattoos on his face! Arms behind his back handcuffed I am sure! On his right and left are guards each holding one of his arms.

The Command – Stand Up and Turn Your Back:

They sound a command and every inmate immediately stands and turns their backs to the inmate being lead to a unknown destination. Only myself and the guard next to me can watch.

Spiritual Bricks:  Non Verbal Message:

I wish I could express the ton of spiritual bricks that hit me that instant. The inmate was stocky, looked strong, might actually be handsome if not for the tattoos which made him so hard to look at.

Contrast Jesus Message to His Brave Followers:

I was reminded Every time Jesus met walked into a room with His disciples His first words were “Do not be afraid” and “Peace be with you”.

The Purpose of the Tattoos:  Yes Non Verbal Works:

You bet – those tattoos had a purpose -> “Fear”!  Oh yes I see!  Yet why was it, what I saw was the non verbal voice of a lost soul crying out!  An angry lost soul and the tattoos served as non verbal voice of His imprisoned soul crying out from deep within!  Oh not the same prison I was in! No no! The prison of deep wounds suffered ever so long long ago! A gang member! What the heck is a gang?

The Hidden Magnetic Unseen Force to be a Part of some Family:

When positive creative discipline is missing the question being asked is not answered (do you love me enough?) and the cycle accelerates down hill fast! Ultimately a substitute family will be sought out where any form of discipline will be acceptable! Finally somebody knows and cares I exist!

The Cross and Non Verbal Communications:

Hidden in the Cross lives Hope! Perhaps better said buried in the cross is the narrow gate where Hope can be found!

Come follow me says the Lord! Oh BTW pick up your cross! And just what does that require? Discipline = Love! Yea Dad I love you!

Patron Saint and God’s Armor:

Been praying a very very very very long time: Took me awhile to find myself. Spent a great deal of time doubting myself!

Turned to Saint Joseph Father of Jesus:

Turned to St. Joseph some time ago. My patron Saint for Confirmation 4th grade 1953!  Wondered at times if St. Joseph was doing his job as my patron Saint?

Stand your ground – do not doubt!

Put on God’s Armor:

Ephesians 6: 10-18. Yea still wearing the same belt. Have a two edged sword cuts both ways! Truth is still the Truth! Found book in my house – Saint Joseph – consecrate yourself to Saint Joseph! 33 days the process! I wonder who can follow? Some do not want to hear the Truth! Come follow me is the call that lead me through the valley! One could use that armor on such a trip!

Devil’s Religion and Agenda to Get There

In the current and on going Spiritual War against God’s design, modern man seeks to replace God! To do so every issue and every Truth is now claimed to be and addressed as purely a political reality which is open to man’s desire to Play God!
Free Will!  The Lure and the Test!  How are you doing?

Truth is Truth – it Simply Does not Change:

Truth is Truth! It does not change over the course of history and time! The advancement of technology when honestly analyzed reinforces the Truth is the Truth!
The War is against the Spiritual “One Flesh”! In the beginning God created man, male and female he created them! Truth = there are only two genders!!!

I own the Tree:  I am God:  I can recreate Myselfie:

LBGTQ ++++ is a mean spirited hoax and the work of the same Satan who showed up in the Garden in the beginning! Yes the devil uses human nature to desire and the very same apple from the forbidden tree!  I own the Tree and I am God!
Not a single human is born without a female mother and male father!
The great deceiver has indoctrinated many with the help of corrupt leaders and a corrupt news media (no longer interested in objective truth) that has sold it’s soul for fame, power and money!

Abortion the Launching Pad!  The Body has no Soul:

Instrumental in this War is the acceptance of Abortion! In the beginning God created man in His image! Every body has a “Soul” = spirit! The abortion argument is a building built on sand! The unborn babies body does not have a soul!
The cries of the unborn have been reaching the ears of heaven and God is granting nations the consequences of evil! We have given away the light and truth of our Nations birth!

A False Prophet – Anti Christ in the White House:

We have a President who claims to be a devout Catholic while all of his actions support the devils War against God’s design and proactively oppose the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church!!!
Does anyone have the courage to ask “Does the hierarchical leaders of the Roman Catholic Church have courage to rebuke such evil on the same national / world stage as it is being propagated???

Gone Fishing –> The Discovery of my Heritage:

Stowell Family:

Back in the late 1980’s I told my mother Martha Stowell Meuninck I was in the process of becoming a Deacon in the Roman Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Atlanta.  My mother’s response was you are joining a long line of preachers.  At the time I did not have the wisdom to ask my mom, exactly what and who are you talking about?  Short sighted was I!

33 Years Ago:

Well it is 2023!  Whew more than 33 years ago this year!  Well circumstances have lead me to search for an understanding of the current situation in regard to my own ministry and just exactly what is the Lord’s plan for me?

Well I began a google search for the name Joseph Stowell a name I ran across listening to New Life Radio.  I knew at one point Joseph Stowell was the President of Moody Bible Institute.  Funny coincidence I worked at the Chicago O’Hare Airport in the 1970’s.  When I heard the name I began to wonder if this man Joseph could be the grandson like I was a grandson to my grand dad Tilton Cheney Stowell.  Funny first name Tilton Cheney.  I have a story to tell about me and kindergarten.

Another funny incidence.  I took a Course “Theology of the Body” Saint John Paul II’s teaching through the Dallas Theology Seminary in 2011?

Bejamin Ellijah Stowell March 6, 1847 (my Birthday Month and day)  Married Rosa Jane Livermore:  Children:  Mary Alice,  Joseph Michael (Grand Dad of Joseph Stowell – Moody fame),  Alma Livermore, plus  My Grand Parents:

Tilton Cheney – Oct. 4 1874 (Grand father) and Anna Marie Walsh – May 9, 1880 (grand mother):  Children:  Kathern B., Joseph Michael, Mary Margueritt, Richard Robert, Thomas Albert, Margueritte Carrol – May 18, 1915 (my mom)

and Rosa Nell.

A Long line of Preachers:  That’s what my mom told me over 33 years ago.

Ultimately I ran across this video and took the time to listen:  Give it a listen:  See if you can figure out the invisible that ties us together?

Conspiracy Theories:

Do you know where the term

“conspiracy theory”

comes from?
It was a term concocted by the CIA in the mid-60s
to ward off those who were beginning to raise questions
about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
A murder that is suddenly back in the news.

2023:  No longer a theory!!
