Stumbling Blocks Reveled Yet Hidden In the Beginning:

Went to the Dump – Racism:
Went to the dump in Crawford County this week. The man in the truck next to me had a trailer loaded with broken cement blocks and lumber all mixed together. The dump attendant advised him he could not dump the cement material at this dump. So he began to slow process of pulling the old lumber out of the bricks and throwing them into the proper container.
Promise Keepers / Fathers / Men
I recalled attending the Promise Keepers gathering in Atlanta in 1995. It was an event that called men to be men of God and Fathers to their families. Men of all races attended that event in 1995 and it was extraordinary to listen to these men sing. The term Father as no color, rather it is a title for men who lead. I will never forget. Missing in today’s woke culture is the role of a Father to his family with an understanding of how the family was created to be in the beginning.
Family Building Blocks:
It is the building blocks of civilization, society, community and the church. Not much talk about the role of Father or Family in the woke culture. So what does one do? When I dumped my load, I put on my gloves and when over and helped my neighbor pull lumber out of the pile of mixed broken cement blocks and lumber. He told I didn’t have to help. He had all day and wasn’t in a hurry. Yes I herd what he had to say and continued to pull lumber out and throw into the dumpster. Took another 30-40 minutes and we got it done.
He had another trip to another dump to drop off the cement blocks.
So why am I writing? Something struck home in 1995, and I want you to know we as a have lost our way! This is America, brothers and sisters are we. We can all do a little something to demonstrate we are family. Father is being dismissed in our culture today!
Father and Discipline:
Our young people are mad as hell about it. I see it in prison and on television in young people rioting. Where is Dad? What happened to discipline? We no longer have time to discipline or reach out to our neighbor. We have become isolated into our magic technology kingdom – a magnet that disconnects people from each other.
So I did what a Father should do. I did what Promise Keepers taught. This was my brother and I took time to help him with his load. Our so called very recent modern woke folks suggest because I am white I am a racist. That’s just plain BS! The word racism is itself being abused beyond belief rendering it’s definition ambiguous. The attendant at the dump was an old black man, the man with the loaded trailer was a black man and I am white! Not a word of race was spoken. I just helped – simple!
Please I ask, help me show the people of this nation the load of manure that is being propagated by so called pundits with a stealth agenda to divide this red blooded American people are full of ____. No explanation is required – just act like a father / brother / sister / family and lend a hand!
Temptation – “In the Beginning”:
The Garden, Man, Snake and the Tree:
“In the beginning” where words understood by people in Jesus day! “In the beginning” was the story of God’s creation – the story of man, a garden and a tree! There is this “being” called a snake in the beginning. Yes there were spiritual beings we call angels in the beginning!
Angels / Procreation
Seems when these angels fully understood God’s plan to give procreative power to humans a war broke out in heaven! Envy and jealous leaped out of the pages In the Beginning! The War against God’s design began way back “in the beginning” and rages on into our modern world. Again who really owns that Tree? Knowledge hmmmm!
Fallen Angel / Snake / Jealousy / Envy / Original Sin / Temptation
The Original sin – what was it again? Fer sure the first War (angelic) is still going on? Trickery sits on ones shoulder whispering in ones ear! No such thing as sin today! We can be whatever we want to be – no limits! Truth – Oh yes there was that guy who came to earth and told us he came to testify to the Truth – he used the words in the beginning and the people of his day knew exactly what he was talking about. Envy and jealousy took care of him too! Shut up! Procreation – one flesh – male and female provide the tissue and God provides the spirit – again ponder just how does that one flesh concept thing work? Babies and children? Gifts to be thrown away? Get them while they are in God’s designed place of creation before they escape. Oh shucks some of them survive. Every child has a spirit and it appears the spirit picks up on the conflict when the one flesh concept is MIA.
Created in the Image: / The Spirit within knows:
Can children actually have an uncanny ability to detect and sense what so called intellectual can not!
Man now Contends for Ownership of the Tree:
Man that snake sure can deceive! And we earthly creatures want to call highly educated and sophisticated man – man who now contends man owns the tree – and has declared there is now no sin – we can and should modify boy to girl and girl to boy before puberty (God’s plan) because man is now so smart – yea let’s destroy the gift of procreation for them before God’s plan kicks in = puberty . More for me cause I am the tree! Which voice is modern man listening to?
Anger – Cultures Stealth Disease:
Forgiveness: the most difficult thing for humans to do! If we can forgive the most grievous offenses we have indeed stepped to new level! Riot’s, burning, looting, injury and yes death! Lord Have Mercy! Well isn’t that why we say those words? We need God’s help to do it!
Anger can be seen around the nation! What can I possibly do? Our nation is broken and bent on all sorts of agenda’s! Punishment for sins because of the color of ones skin! Yikes! No one asks today where are mom and dad of all these young people of every skin color! Where does this anger originate?
Babies aren’t angry! They need to be nurtured, held, hugged, feed spiritually and physically! There really is Truth! Parents are the first teachers and best teachers of their children! When did we forget? Yes we have!
Whose is teaching modern day kids? I walk through a room of angry young juveniles (kids) when I visit prison. The old inmates tell me why they are so angry! And the old inmates don’t want them in their dorms because someone may get killed!
Why is it we do not have leaders who have eyes to see and ears to hear the cries coming from so many young people and the courage to speak? Why isn’t the issue of father and mother the highest issue in our modern day hi tech world?
No rather our political and Silly Con leaders want to BAN Father, Mother, Wife, Husband, Boy, Girl as outlawed words on capital hill!!!!
Its’ a War against God’s Design:
Does anyone remember the Story of Adam and Eve in Garden? The first teachers and the best teachers assassinated in the land of the free and the brave!
And we wonder why our young folks are angry. Our political leaders want to kill the influence of mom and dad. Whose going to walk into the anger being played out in the streets? Won’t be a governor, or mayor, or council person! The building block for civilization is the family = mom, dad, mother, father, male, female, marriage the original source of boys and girls
And where is greatest treasure hidden in our modern hi tech world? Yep!!! Grandparents, Granny, Grand Pa, papa, meme, every family has a favorite title! You know – granny and grandpa you are our most most MVP’s!
Critical Thinking – Rationalization: the End Justifies the Means::: taught in 6th Grade!!!
Taught 6th graders today – Class on the 10 Commandments: When I was in sixth I was too! The nun who taught was my most unfavorite teacher! Somehow she managed to teach me about “rationalization” and the “ End Justifies the means”.
Boy oh boy did I dislike that old nun!!!
About 10 years ago I began to realize just how well I had been taught in ancient times!!!! She long ago passed away and I didn’t care. But now I better understand how grace works!
It reaches across time and gives you an embrace you would have avoided at ALL costs way back when! We are watching unfold in our time! Truth turned upside down by people who think they are smarter than that old old nun!!!
Anger – Young People??
We are told Rioters are peaceful as they burn and loot because it’s owed to them – somebody did something sometime logic!! 8 year or younger old kids can decide gender – what oh what happened to God’s design – a stressful nature driven puberty magical maturing period that last a lot longer than most think! Yep man can replace God and nature using just man’s brain! Rationalization at it’s finest!
Naw these kids are not human and have no soul we can abort them! The End (a broken mother and a murdered father can’t hurt us!).
In Prison so many Angry Young Men:
Come with me to prison and I will introduce you to angry young men! They don’t know it but they already know – life is not sacred – they will not be allowed to protect their children – they are a father destroyed twice! The girls won’t be upset – nothing to it!
Tell me again – who are those peaceful protestors who are looting, burning and confronting anyone with authority!
Oh yea – least I forget – someone murdered the father some where some time! Yep those are kids just the same kids I visit in prison and look how they use freedom!
Rationalization hmmm!
The End Justifies the means! Hmmm!
Great Teachers are Hard to Find
Dam, I had a great teacher in the sixth grade when I lacked the ability to know how God’s grace works! Critical thinking comes with the examination of conscientious in contrast to following the Ten Commandments.
Yep, I pray for her now to the only one who can occupy all time at the drop of a hat and tell her thanks I was just a kid and you were to me just an old lady I didn’t care for, who somehow managed to penetrate my soul!
Lord Have Mercy!
Speaking with no Ears:
Have we have lost the ability to talk and listen to one another. It is a break down of the spiritual family! We have surrendered and become obtuse and ours brains unable to consider the really real beyond ourselves! Selfie dominates family – individual pleasure cancels community!
The Best Teachers:
The primary teacher of Truth is failing due to a lack of courage to proclaim Gospel principles- the Good News is really really hard and provides a mirror the pleasure world rejects! Happy talk is not the Gospel! Reading a sermon that puts young people to sleep while explaining to the old folks what they already know misses the mark! Technocratic preaching about perfection misses the mark when Christ came to lead the sinner to walk while still imperfect to begin learning to listen and speak about the hope hidden in the good news to the younger generation! In the Beginning who was the building block of humanity?
Hurt – Necessary Stumbling to Open Ones Mind:
Conversion is a journey that takes years while one stumbles all over themselves often for years. One of the road blocks to the human heart is the serious lack of understanding life is sacred – yes the unborn can be detected crying out in the intense anger coming from young people abandoned by family and community and in our modern society. Does my life matter is the cry! The young people’s spirit long ago detected respect for life is a facade! The spirits of the black men whose lives have been snuffed out are crying out adding to the long standing sustained cry no one hears!
For years Modern man has lacked the ability and worse the will to listen with spiritual ears! Selfie self rules as we have long been sacrificing the unborn, broken families, created orphan after orphan of divorce, and surrendered to pleasure and profit that wastes the potential of our young as they fry their brains with marijuana and other drugs as the wealthy prosper! We are human not God! We are eating our own young and sacrificing many on the selfie altar.
Smart Phone Technology Replaces the Soul:
A phone has replaced God and humans! Our politicians have failed us especially those who have attained and sustained the highest level of selfie self rule for ages and ages!Corruption to maintain power is destructive! Even many Church leaders have failed us as well as they focus on obtaining a higher stipend and building play and entertainment mansions while compromising the meaning of the cross!
One Flesh the Building Block of Civilization:
The building block of civilization, a nation and the church are all built from the same rock as in the beginning! One flesh, the best and most effective teachers = marriage –> father + mother, male + female have been aborted at the altar of the new Selfie god which is unable to procreate any new life.
Who I ask – above all – should be leading humanity back to the only Truth that can set humanity Free and restore the sacredness of life while opening the door simultaneously to release Hope from the chains and darkness of the modern culture of death that has wrapped it’s arms around the world?
Prayer – the Door Opener:
St. Joseph foster father pray for us! Mary mother of God open our ears! Holy Spirit send us courage to penetrate the hardness of our human heart! Jesus son of God help us understand we know not what we do! Help us do what you did! Forgive as you forgave – We indeed are a stiff necked people!
Balance Corruption:
The Journey to Freedom – confronting Man’s Nature:
From Holy Week to Pentecost in Georgia and across the world. This is a great time to reflect upon the journey of a single man who clearly understood the difference between freedom and slavery. He knew well the nature of man to be tempted and willingly fall into the depths of corruption. He understood the stubbornness of the human heart and man’s willingness to cover, hide and protect corruption from being exposed to the light of day.
This single man knew full well the full cost of freedom and that human’s in every age and generation would be confronted and tested with this same truth . The unanswered question has from the beginning been the same. What will humans of this day do with the creative spirit within? Will they submit to untruth, resort to lies and cover themselves with sophisticated words of deception? Who among them will have the courage to choose to expose carefully selected deceptive words that conceal and hide the corruption hidden in layers of sweet sounding lies? A voice calls out from within – the truth will set you free!
Foundation of the American Dream:
This nation is facing the greatest crises in our history. For from within we are being challenged to define and defend the original values and principles upon which this nation was founded? Will we allow ourselves to be deceived or will we stand tall and begin to face the truth? So many claim to be a leader, yet so many choose to compromise the very founding principles and values that made this nation great and have turned to answers long ago rejected by our founders!
Freedom to Choose – A Path to Slavery through Corruption or Truth:
So what are we to do? Perhaps more to the point – What are you going to do? Submit and bow to the loudest voices, political correctness or muster the courage to examine the truth of who this nation was created to be in the beginning!
Are we, the modern day American, willing to embark upon the same journey our founding fathers traveled? Will we confront the enemy that lives within? Will we have the courage to pray again as they prayed or will we resort to butting heads and submit to some form of human god?
The Cost! Are We willing to Pay?
Our history is not hidden, it is paved with blood, tears, failures and the death of so many heroes willing to pay the greatest price so that we the people, the next generation can keep alive the eternal hope of freedom, liberty and the right to discover where happiness is hidden.
Will you Put on Some Old Shoes?
Who will join me on this new journey to rediscover and recapture the spirit, vision and the light handed to this nation for all the world to see – Hope lives in the hearts of a people willing to join the one whose breath passed over a people at odds and at each others throat until they sought the spirit concealed in the Declaration of Independence?
A Convention of States is the founding process that enabled this nation to make a leap of 5000 years where the self governed people were to be served by the government and government people longed to return home to be among the people. Hummm! That man I spoke about. He was a King but didn’t act like a earthly king, he wanted to help us find the way Home and was willing to pay the full price for all.
I have put on my traveling shoes to begin the journey to recapture the spirit that birthed this nation, will you join me?
Corona Virus ImPact = Goofy
I am becoming “Goofy”! I didn’t know what day it is?? Friday – Fast – Lent – oh I am the perfect age = 77 – exempted from fast! My normal day to go to prison! Upon reflection this Goofy guy thinks most of us are learning a little about being imprisoned!
1. It can be lonely.
2. It can be boring.
3. It can be at moments be filled with anxiety and fear.
4. One can be confined with another who gets on yours nerves.
5. Lots of people want to tell you what to do – I mean everything!
6. Prisoners can’t give blood – suggests we have a behavior problem related to anger!
7. Inside a prison one can find the major problem when they look in a mirror!
8. I thought I knew why I started willingly to visit prisoners only to discover I was sent there to be taught.
9. There is something very much needed in a prison and it’s a Goofy word = discipline.
10. The Corona Virus is a gift and most folks will be blind and unable to see but it might could teach folks about discipline – thinking beyond self, thinking about what’s really important and what true freedom is!
Cars Can Fly: Life Hanging in Balance Stop Help
Exodus 17: 8-13 In those days, Amalek came and waged war against Israel. Moses had climbed to the top of the hill with Aaron and Hur. As long as Moses kept his hands raised up, Israel had the better of the fight, but when he let his hands rest, Amalek had the better of the fight. Moses’hands, however, grew tired
I met a man in Home Depot who said have we met before? At an accident. Yes I was at an accident two years ago.
I was driving up a hill when a car coming the opposite direction went airborne perfectly vertical, came back to earth hitting the ground with the rear bumper nose pointed perfectly straight up. Due to the speed the car was traveling it then flipped three times as it crossed the road in front of me into a yard. I knew instantly the driver was in real trouble. I pulled to the side, got out, ran to the vehicle and tried to open the door. It would not open – probably jammed.
Another person ran to the other side and was able to open the river side door. I hurried around to help. It was this man, a retired fir fighter. He knew what we needed to do! The driver was a young woman and she was not breathing. We needed to move her so her breathing passageway would open. He climbed to her side of the car where he was able to have a little leverage to to lift her body so she could be moved. I held her head, in case her neck was injured and so her breathing would not be restricted. Another person climbed into the back seat and together we gradually moved her so her head and shoulders rested on the driver seat. Still she was not breathing.
I did the only thing I knew how. Our Father who art in Heaven, a gurgling sound came from her throat as some blood leaked out. Finally, at least she was breathing very irregularly. I was knelling on the ground and holding her head as the breathing became more and more regular. The fireman called for help and recognized she needed a life flight to a hospital that could handle her injuries.
Soon my arms began to become weary as the position I was in as well as the stress of moving her while managing to keep her head stable was beginning to take a tole.
And then a policeman wanted to arrest the man who saved this woman’s life because he left his vehicle in the road! Which come first? Life or Authority?
The Need for the Unspoken Word:
I am an Old man on the mend! Took on task of replacing floor boards on 18’ trailer. Lots twisting, pulling, lifting and wiggles to get those boards free. Leaped up on the trailer to find the bolts still holding! Old man twisted left leg – oh oh! Pain overtook the day – kneeling and praying Lord have mercy on this old man who hasn’t bought into = on sneaky aging! Now what am I gonna do???
Can’t put weight on that leg and in the middle of part done mess! Well one advantage an old man has – is go slow – think every movement through – go slow – don’t be in a hurry – got all day – we can do this!
Memory of an Old Man who did What by himself?:
It helped that I remembered my dad move a double garage all by himself and connected it to his house in his sixties! Leverage is an old man’s friend – just need to think how to use it. Lean on stuff to ease the weight – got the lose boards off so I could drive home and begin “RICE”.
Sitting in my chair, watching TV, leg lifted with Ice under knee, blanket on so I don’t freeze haha! Picked up knee compact will put it on after minimum 30 minutes On ice! Was able to almost walk normally late yesterday! Just have to remember I am old and go slow giving my body time to heal! And give thanks for what my dad taught me without ever saying a word! You can move mountains if you open your mind avoiding those who seek to lock you up in doubt and dependence!
What a way to start the New Year!
Ham pulled, PCL strained, aches and pains smothered by hope the Good Lord already gave me what I need to continue this adventure another day and eventually get those new trailer boards installed!
Thanks to my dad who suffered with early Parkinson’s – I have a vision to sustain hope even when I am down!
No politician can do this for me! Yep, thanks dad! I still remember him climbing the steps to St. Joe Church in Mishawaka, Indiana – there was something at the top of those steps worth every single step!
So I ask? – who gave you a treasure without speaking a word?
Happy new Year – Hope is birthed again! May the one and only God Bless You!
