Why you need copy editors and proofreaders… and regarding ads

It is much easier to spot someone else’s errors because your brain will not as easily assume what the author meant to write. I do try to check my posts, but sometimes things will get by me and I do not have a proofreader. So, please show mercy if you see an error. Just make a note in the comments section and I will fix it.

This former copy editor and proofreader thanks you for your understanding.

By the way, I know there are ads showing on my blog. I have no control over them or over their content.

Be Ready!!

I know many are sensing something, but they may not be sure what it is.

People need to look beyond their immediate felt circumstances. They may not involved in politics and the like, but they do need to be aware of what is going on.

They may not be interested in other countries, but again, they need to know what is going on.

They may not be interested in other religions (or religion at all), but they do need to know about other religions–what they believe and how it impacts their actions, actions that can have an impact on the whole world.

The Bible has an accurate rate of prophetic fulfillment so far. There is more yet to come. Better study up. Even if you don’t believe in it, you need to study it–in case you are wrong.

Yeshua/Jesus fulfilled many prophecies on His first visit. He will fulfill more on His last visit. The first time He came He took on the penalty we deserve for all the times we broke God’s laws.

The next time He comes, He will bring judgment to the whole earth. The only way to escape that judgment is to be in right relationship with the Father through Yeshua.

Going to church does not protect you, even though it is important. Doing good does not protect you, although it is also important. Obeying Yeshua’s commands won’t protect you, even though it is also important and something He told us to do.

There is nothing you can do to earn your protection other than to give your life fully to Him and obey Him. Seek Him with all you’ve got and stop focusing only on the things you can see right in front of you.

Things are coming to a head. Do NOT wait! Please!

Know the Truth!!

There is a lot of cosplaying and LARPing going on. I really don’t think people have any idea just how much, even those who are pretty “in the know.”

People being replaced by others is just one example. But who is the replacer and are they acting for good or for bad? Is it a matter of an actor cosplaying a bad guy in order to show the good guys are actually in control of that person? Or, could it be an actor installed by the bad guys in an attempt to con the more aware into thinking the good guys are in control? How do we know?

So many people are LARPing. So many people playing a role. We all do it, which may make it harder to see. If I am going to interview for an office position, I am not going to go down dressed in jeans and t-shirt. I am going to dress for the part I am asking them to let me play. That is not a bad thing. It shows I understand the position and the work environment and am prepared for it.

We all have expectations of what a position should look like, whether it is in government or faith assemblies. We know (or should know–I am not convinced enough people actually do) what each role/position entails and how it should be handled. But do we know how to tell if the person is sincere–or just LARPing/cosplaying?

There is layer upon layer of deception taking place. Double agents, triple agents. Some are in it for a “higher cause” and some just for themselves. All of them are both playing and being played. I say that because a lot of them have no idea what dark spirits are behind so much of what we see. They are useful idiots and pawns, even the really intelligent ones. In fact, I would say the most intelligent ones are probably the easiest to fool IF they rely upon their intelligence alone to interpret the world around them.

We humans can be pretty arrogant, although most might just call it “over confident.” It is so interesting how changing the meanings of words over time is part of the deadly game we are in. Think about it. Gay used to simply mean happy. Gender dysphoria has now transformed into being “trans.” I’m sure you can think of other examples.

The point is none of us truly has the discernment to be able to spot all the LARPing, to spot whose cosplaying is positive way or negative. Who is genuine and who is not. Only the Spirit of Creator can show us that.

If you are not in a strong and right relationship with YHWH–God of the Bible as expressed as Abba/Father, Yeshua/Jesus, Ruach Qodesh/Holy Spirit–you are NOT going to be able to know who is who and what is what. Only HE can show us the Truth and only HE can preserve us from being overwhelmed at the level of deception and evil all around us.

I beg of you reading this, PLEASE get into right relationship with Him. If you already know Him, PLEASE strengthen that relationship. Let go of your confidence that you see it all with true understanding. I guarantee you do NOT. But if we know that & humble ourselves to Him, He WILL bring our souls safely through to the end.

Are you ready???

God is good! Ever since I started trusting Him to wake me up at night to feed the wood stove, neither of us have had to set an alarm at night, which was disrupting both of our sleep regardless of whose turn it was to get up. It sure makes sleeping on nights we use the wood stove for heat a whole lot easier.

He has also provided wonderful folks who come load the wood into the house since I tweaked my back. It is frustrating not being able to bring it all in myself and I am very grateful for the help. I am not used to not being able to take care of these things without help.

God is good. The people He has sent our way to help us in time of need are perfect and good gifts.
Jas 1:17 MKJV1962 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning.

The best and most perfect gift of all was sent by our heavenly Abba/Father–His Son, Messiah Yeshua/Jesus. Yeshua gave us eternal life and access to the throne of Yah. A most perfect and good gift. But it came with a heavy price. He took on our eternal death sentence so we would not have to.

It also comes with responsibilities. There are a lot of “if” statements all throughout the New Testament/Covenant. Many are from Yeshua’s own mouth. We need to make sure we study them and walk in them.

Here are a couple of examples.
Joh 8:51 MKJV1962 Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keeps My Word, he shall never see death.
Joh 14:15 MKJV1962 If you love Me, keep My commandments.
Joh 14:21 MKJV1962 He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will reveal Myself to him.

There are some serious implications in these (and many other) verses. We need to make sure we are studying and understanding the plain meaning rather than simply taking what someone says it means. Study the whole Bible, not just verses which are often taken out of context.

There is a lot of false teaching out there. Faith leaders are human and able to err. It is possible for even the “majority” of teachers to be in error due to the root error being introduced so long ago that current understanding is built upon an error that has compounded.

Study! Know the Truth! Most importantly, know the One who IS Truth! He is coming back and the signs of His return grow every day. Know what those signs are and be watching and ready.

Cold Weather Thoughts

The days are already getting longer. When that shift takes place, I eagerly watch as we get more sunlight. However, the spraying of chemicals and metals in the sky to block out the sun saddens me.

I cannot remember the last time I saw a really dark blue clear sky. Most days, it is a shade of either very pale blue or gray. It almost feels surreal, as if I am living out some scifi movie. Except this is real life. They really are trying to kill us and make us sick in the process so they can make money off us on our way out.

I know. It sounds like a “conspiracy theory”, which is a phrase started by the CIA when JFK was assassinated. They were trying to denigrate anyone who looked closely enough to know it was obvious Oswald did not kill JFK…or certainly not alone. Anyone who questioned anything was labeled. Thing is, many conspiracy theories have a way of turning out to be true.

I notice they spray more at night now and early morning. From what I’ve heard, people complained so much they switched the times to “hide” it. But we are not stupid. Clouds from spraying are not the same as natural clouds. We can see the difference.

Gray, gray, gray…so much of the time. It robs us of Vitamin D and the other benefits of sun on the face and just the bright cheeriness of bright light and clear skies. Even when it is cold, those things make a difference in mood and health. In fact, it is even more important when it is cold.

Speaking of cold, the spraying makes things colder and contributes to messing with the weather. But that is the supposed point. They say the earth is warming but those of who are paying attention know it is a hoax. First it was global warming. Then it was cooling. They had to change it to climate change because we were just seeing the natural cycling of temps that have been happening for a long time…until now. They are messing with things and actually causing the very thing they say they are trying to prevent.

So, the days are getting longer. That is a positive to me. But what about the temps? The last few months have been really off. It has been bouncing back and forth between abnormally high temps and abnormally low. I am grateful we were able to start this cold season off with more wood than ever before. However, the abnormal cold also had us using wood earlier than ever before.

It doesn’t just feel like the annual season of winter; it also feels like the season of winter for time itself. So many people feel something big is coming. For those who know the Bible, it is pretty obvious.

We are seeing the signs of the coming of Yeshua/Jesus. The prophecies, even though a bit confusing at times, do give us specific things to watch for. Yeshua Himself told us about it. And those things are happening. Now. And they are increasing. The birth pangs have started.

I look at all I see happening in front of us and what is happening more behind the scenes. Quietly, and not so quietly, the foundation is being laid for total control. Those who are have eyes to see, see it.

I hope and pray everyone is ready. I pray that everyone gets their life right with God of the Bible. Yeshua is coming back to judge the world. However, He could come back for any one of us individually at any time. We don’t know when we will draw our last breath. Where will you end up when that happens? If you don’t know one hundred percent for sure, you had better seek to find out.

Eternity has two choices. With God. Without God. He will honor your decision. If you want to be with Him forever, you need to know what He requires. Read (and study) the Bible. Get the answers you need. Yeshua/Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is the only way. Seek the Son while He may still be found. Once it is over, whether individually or collectively, it is over. No more chances.

Please seek Him and make the choice for real life!

It’s Been Almost Eleven Years

I wrote this last year. But it still holds true. How can it ever stop holding true? I don’t think the pain will ever go away.

===
It’s Been Almost 11 Years

It’s been almost 11 years.
A very, very long almost 11 years.
I am weary.
What you did tore the family apart.
Blew it up and
scattered it everywhere.
It resulted in already tenuous connections
being ripped to shreds.
Anger and hatred arose
in the family
and understandably so.
And in all of that
I loved and I cared
as my heart shattered,
exploding into a million tiny pieces
as I had to choose between
family members and you–
all because of what YOU said/did.
I hurt for them
and I hurt for you
as I wonder what the hell went wrong.
I am tired of compartmentalizing,
of having to put on a mental shelf
the memory of what you did
just so I can communicate with you.
I don’t have the energy to do this anymore.
If it were someone else,
I would push for the death penalty.
I cannot reconcile this.
The cognitive dissonance
is so great.
It’s HUGE!
I am tired of pretending
I don’t know why you are there.
I don’t know what you did.
This mama’s heart can only
take so much.
I really need to be done with this.
But how?
I have given you almost
11 years of my energy and life.
How can I reconcile the fact
that my heart wants you to die
so I can be set free?
And then I feel selfish.
For what?
For struggling with what YOU did?
Many were angry with me
because I didn’t cut you off.
I no longer have them,
not that I ever really did.
They judge me for what you did.
If it’s mental illness,
I should be sympathetic.
But illness is NO excuse!
I am a mother, yes.
But I am also a grandmother,
something you seem to forget,
but I, ultimately, cannot.
I simply cannot reconcile this.
I cannot put back together
the pieces of my heart that
are scattered across the universe.
I cannot even find them all.
I am weary, so very weary.
It’s been almost 11 years.
A very, very long almost 11 years.

Whenever You Look Evil In Its Eyes

Whenever you look evil in its eyes,
you cannot help but long for its demise.

You yearn for the perfect world to come
when Yeshua finally says, “evil, you are done!”

But while you wait, you take a warrior’s stance,
for now you can see evil with a glance.

Evil cannot hide from you, nor you from it.
You battle while awaiting evil’s end in the pit.

So be faithful and courageous, keeping your King in sight.
He will empower you to battle with might.

One day, perhaps sooner than you think,
in victory before Him to your knees you will sink.

In worship and adoration, with joy and praise,
He will heal you, O warrior, and to your feet raise!

To Him be all glory, our Mighty King.
To Him our hearts will forever sing.

King of kings, Lord of lords, leader of the heavenly hosts,
He will reward those who faithfully kept their posts.

Only In Him

Only In Him

No longer do I see deep blue skies.
They're hidden behind sprays I despise.

Arrogantly seeking to control,
they spray until we're no longer whole.
The air we breathe and water we drink
they poison causing our health to sink.

Deluded into thinking they're god,
they're trying to put us in the sod.
Their schemes will someday be brought to naught
and they'll no longer be found if sought.

Foolishness comes from the heart of man.
It's only in I Am's ways we can
find true success and peace and shalom.
He'll make this planet into our Home.

Only through Yahweh do we have life.
Only Yeshua relieves our strife.
