1 Corinthians 10:21
21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too;
you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.
1 Corinthians 9:24-26
The Need for Self-Discipline
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.
1 Corinthians 6:9-13
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 12 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Gettin a little off track but it needs to be said.
Deuteronomy
13:5;
17:7;
19:19;
21:21;
22:21,24;
24:7
Just over and over and over.
"Remove the evil from among you."
1 Corinthians 5 12-13
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church?
Are you not to judge those inside?
13 God will judge those outside.
“Expel the wicked person from among you.”
Never heard that one in a sermon or taught in Sunday School.
Maybe it should be.
1 Corinthians 4:2
2 Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
Livin it.
1 Corinthians 2 14-15
14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness,and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments
1 Corinthians 2:9
9 However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him
People are about to see this played out.
Know what?
They will still turn from him.
Watch.
1 Corinthians 1:18
Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Romans 15:3
3 For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written:
“The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
Romans 12:6
6 We have different gifts,
according to the grace given to each of us.
If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;
Romans 12:2
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Love this one.
Don't worry, conformity isn't one of my strong suits :-).
Romans 8:33
33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?
It is God who justifies.
Romans 8:24
24 For in this hope we were saved.
But hope that is seen is no hope at all.
Who hopes for what they already have?
Romans 8:30
30 And those he predestined,
he also called;
those he called,
he also justified;
those he justified,
he also glorified.
Romans 8:17-18
17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Romans 5:3-5
3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Romans 2:7-10
7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil:first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Romans 1:28-32
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
So
here we go again with this chosen thing :-).
How any one in the world can think that this is solely my doing at this point is well beyond me.
These verses are not the ones that stuck out at me while reading the book in it's entirety.
These are merely verses that stick out from the other days reading.
I just do what I'm told Lucy.
The parts will fall where they will.
Love you Sweetheart.
Romans 1:18-21
God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Morning

Love you.
(I mean hey, if you want to hear "Morning Beautiful" again all you gotta do is wake up by my side ya know? :-).

Amen!
It's the same problem I've always had with these "Right to life" types.
If you're so "Right to life"?
Then why aren't you in the streets raising nine kinds of hell about the 142 people who die every day due to the opioid epidemic in this country?
Or any other number of issues for that matter?
These are real people who have families, wives, husbands, children, brothers, sisters etc.
If you are so "Right to life"?
Why aren't you fighting to help them and their families?
They are not "Right to life."
They are "Right to birth."
Afetr being born?
They couldn't give two shits about you.
You're on your own.
Cause that's so Christian.
I've made this point before.
How do they know Gods not exterminating whole generations of demon spawn?
Maybe?
Gods getting ready to fight his battle.
Maybe he wants their to be less evil spirits in the world.
How do these people know better?
How ironic would it be, to be doing what I'm sure they belive to be "God's work" when maybe?
They are actually helping the forces of darkness.
Just a thought.
You
gotta pair right? :-).
Ya might wanna get several.
Seeing as how I plan on ripping them off of ya :-).
Boys 19
Giants 3
Hey, the Giants beat us both times last year.
They are the next best team in the division.
A win is a win is a win.
Know
why Christians should give thanks for being ridiculed and persecuted?
Mostly?
Because you're proving God is right to the world and they don't wanna hear it.
I mean if they thought you were wrong?
Why would they even bother to ridicule and persecute?
Wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Dear eveyone
who still wants me to be stressed or worried:
Bahahahahahahahahahaha
To late!
Not happening :-).
Five
more book in The New testament and I'm done with the entire bible :-).
Know what I can't find in there anywhere?
Keep forgiving people for their continued trespasses against you over and over and take their mental and psychological abuse for years until your self-esteem erodes to the point you become somebody you weren't before you allowed this to happen.
Nope.
I've been looking.
Cant find it anywhere.
I believe in turning the other cheek.
I really do.
I also believe in repaying evil with good.
I really do.
I would like to think that my life has shown this to be true.
I've seen first hand the good that comes back to you from these practices.
Know what else I believe?
Walking away from a situation when you've done all you can do for years and the behavior you find offensive still continues.
Perfectly acceptable to walk away and say, "No more."
Brother Joey was the only one I ever heard give a sermon on this subject.
Turning the other cheek doesn't mean letting others take advantage of, or abuse your good nature,.
Not in the least.
How
many years ago did I start saying this:
"I just wish people understood I have no choice in this matter."
This is not the work of my or our hands but Gods.
Period.
I'm, or were, just a vessel, a conduit by which people can see his work.
Been sayin it for years.
Nobody listens.
I
love letting people think they're pulling one over on you :-).
It's the greatest feeling in the world.
Intuition much :-).
And
I am absolutely loving not having a phone, alarm clock etc.
Talk about freedom!
The people that bought the refrigerator?
They were like, "Can we call you tomorrow when were ready to come pick it up?"
I just looked at them like, "Are you fucking nuts?"
They didn't even know I don't have a phone I don't think.
They just looked at me like, "Oh yeah, right, you don't want us to have the number."
Duh.
No shit Sherlock, if you were in my shoes would you be giving out your number to people you don't know?
People know whats up Lucy.
The whole county and beyond knows.
I can see it in their eyes.
Heres
some good advice:
never go around acting like it's the last time you're going to see someone when you know it's probably not.
It will surely backfire on you and you'll be wishing to see them and they won't be available for you.
If you hadn't done the former?
You wouldn't have had to suffer the latter.
Again, simple, easy.
It's really not that complicated folks.
Karma anybody?
Chickens come home to roost, etc?
If
they are not truly happy for us?
Then stay the ever-livin fuck at home.
You're not welcome at our day.
I repeat, you are not welcome.
How many times do you gotta say it Lucy?
I don't want one picture of one person with a scowl or frown on their face.
Every ones been helped more than they would have been if this hadn't happened to us.
Be happy for us, or stay away from our day.
Simple.
Easy.
Integrity is saying what you mean and doing what you say.
It's not that complicated.
If it's me and you and the justice of the peace or a constable?
So be it.
It won't make a hill of beans difference to me.
I've been saying it for years.
Why would now be any different Lucy?
Why would now be any different Lucy?

"Unity is the world's key, and
racial harmony.
Until the white man stops calling himself white and the
black man stops calling himself black, we will not see it.
All the
people on earth are just one family.”
God made all of us.
Do people think he cares about skin color then?
How lowly do you have to think of yourself to consider yourself better than an entire block of people due to a physical characteristic?
How sad.
Racism = evil.

Knucklehead.
Made it through Civil Disobedience and A life without Principal last PM.

Love you.
More than you'll ever know.

Finished
The Old Testament BTW :-).
Only about six books in The New Testament to go and I will have finished the whole thing cover to cover.
And...
Drum roll please...
I remember it like yesterday.
Sitting there in Junior English.
Reading this and then staring out that window thinking...
"There aint no way in fucking hell I let that happen...
(cause it's true)
I'd just as soon die as live a life like I see others around me living."
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
“The best thing a man can do for his culture when he is rich is to
endeavor to carry out those schemes which he entertained when he was
poor.”
Plan on it Lucy :-).
Family and friends houses and post-secondary education for their children if applicable.
Whatever else you can come up with :-).
That voice?
Yeah, that one.
It told me last night to go grab my copy of "Walden" :-).
I think we can all see why now .
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
“By the words “necessary of life” I mean whatever, of all that man obtains by his own exertions, has been from the first, or from long use has become, so important to human life that few, if any, ever attempt to do without it.
(It's amazing how little we can get by on if we try.)
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
“I learned this, at least, by my experiment:
that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
“Most men appear never to have considered what a house is, and are
actually though needlessly poor all their lives because they think that
they must have such a one as their neighbors have."
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
“No man ever stood the lower in my estimation for having a patch in his clothes: yet I am sure that there is greater anxiety, commonly, to have fashionable, or at least clean and unpatched clothes, than to have a sound conscience.”
:-).
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
“The millions are awake enough for physical labor;
but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion,
only one in a hundred millions to a poetic or divine life.
To be awake is to be alive.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
“In the long run, men only hit what we aim at.
Therefore, they had better aim at something high."

"Now you get, what you want,
Do you want more?
Now you get, what you want,
Do you want more?"
Ironic isn't it?
The guy that doesn't really want anything and is quite content with very little will have his cup overfilled, yet the people who want everything all the day long will have it taken away from them?
Proverbs 13:7
There is one who pretends to be rich, but has nothing;
Another pretends to be poor, but has great wealth.

"Our God, is an awesome God..."
The
boys have been awful clingy here lately.
For the life of me I just can't figure out why that would be :-).
The whole county knows now sweetheart :-).
Gigs up.
Sold
the refrigerator today :-).
Still got more money than I had two weeks ago :-).
Betcha I eat.
Betcha I sleep with a roof over my head.
Betcha I got clean clothes to wear.
Betcha I got water for all that I need it for.
Betcha I give thanks.
Betcha I pray for others.
Betcha I glorify God.
Any other questions? :-).
I'm like one of those Bozo the clown punching dolls :-).
You can just keep hitting me.
I'll just keep coming right back at you :-).

You know
what amazes me?
When I was in grade school we had three channels on the TV, four if we were lucky and could get WDRB, no remotes, one FM channel, two daily news papers (soon reduced to one) and were blessed enough to have a set of Funk& Wagnalls Standard Encyclopedia (Thanks mom and dad). That was it. That is what we had as far as media in our home.
Today?
People carry around more processing power in their pocket than sent the first rocket into space and have for all practical purposes most of the information in recorded history available to them at their finger tips in their pockets and what do most people do with it? Watch insipid videos and argue with people they haven't met, let a lone know anything about.
Think about it for a second.

I've
"If music got to free your mind
Just let it go cause you never know,
you never know
If your rhythm ever falls out of time
You can bring it to me and I will make it alright
And if your soul is let go
Oh you never know, no you never know
And if your heart is beating free
For the very first time it'll be alright"
been tryin' to tell ya :-).
"Dizzy
found me last night
Saw some kind of new light
I woke up in a whirlwind
Just you watch my head spin…"
"The Donald"
It's been put forth that the reason he said:
"There are very fine people on both sides" about Charlottesville
and the reason he pardoned "Sheriff Joe"
and the reason he rescinded DACA is because he knows criminal charges and indictments are forthcoming.
Think about it.
Could he get any closer to a call to arms for his base?
Dear the thirty six or whatever percent of the populace that still support this nitwit.
YOU
are the minority.
These people investigating him know his plans before he even executes them.
That's not an accident.
While everyone was worried about North Korea and watching hurricanes?
Special investigator Robert Mueller teamed up with New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman in the Paul Manafort probe.
Presidents can only Pardon you for Federal crimes.
Due to the "Dual Sovereignty Doctrine", states could still prosecute.
Why would you even talk about pardoning people if it was really fake news?
Why would you even talk about pardoning people if it was really fake news?
This guy has never went up against somebody with more resources than himself.
There is no escaping this.
It's why he's doing what he's doing.
Have fun Donald.
Bet he folds and runs when the shit really starts heating up.
Even then?
It won't make a lick of difference.
All the commentators suggesting that Putin did this because he wanted to disrupt our democracy?
I think they are getting it wrong.
That was just the by-product.
I think it was about what this kind of thing has always been about.
Money.
If
it's at New Chapel?
I only have one request.
I want everyone to sing "Victory in Jesus" right before we're introduced right at the end of the ceremony. :-).
Remember
Going to Colorado and visiting David Lash and his wife in Idaho when we can are on the top of my to-do list.
Always has been.
Oh and those seven totes of stuff I wanted to take with me?
It's down to about three or four now.
Not that anything was sold.
Just that the longer I stayed here the less things I wanted to take with me.
Wait till you here what I want to do with all the pictures from each of the different rooms :-) and the things that were on the refrigerator.
Yes, they're coming.
Most of the stuff?
Nicholas things when he was small.
Love you.
Wanna
take a guess what has 10 cylinders,
dual clutch automatic transmission,
all wheel drive,
and does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds?
:-).
I betcha know.
Sweetheart?
If you ended up with a man who had half the character and a fraction of the integrity I do?
You would have overachieved.
Bahahahahahahahahahaha
Oh I do crack myself up :-)
One :-)
"One love, one blood
One life, you got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
One"
Afternoon
Knucklehead :-).
Lets just say...
These newer minions of yalls?
Not very experienced :-).
Took out the trash.
Just thought it might be a good idea :-).
Hey, the burn barrel is pretty full.
Only bout 70 pages left in the Old Testament. :-)
Got more water :-).
You do know there is a public park right behind me that has campsites with potable water right? :-)
I always told you I could hold out longer than y'all could continue this nonsense :-).
Sold some more stuff at the Fire-sale :-).
It's weird.
It seems like whatever I spend?
That's what I take in that day or close to it.
Haven't drug anything else out there yet.
Don't plan to.
Someone was supposed to come for the refrigerator so I took all the business cards, pictures and nick-knacks off of it.
They never showed.
Love you.

Saturday Huh?
New Chapel
or HD Dealership in Bowling Green?
I'm gonna go with New Chapel.
Just seems like you/us.
Gotta get.
Chicken fajitas are calling my name :-).
2 Samuel 7:18
David’s Prayer
Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:
“Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?
Lets just say, it resonates.
A lot.
:-).
Not
much to say today sweetheart.
Made a lil bit more money this AM at the fire-sale :-).
Actually made a fire with some wood from the yard in the grill by where the picnic table was so I could boil some water to make some ramen the other day.
Didn't have to.
Could have went to my neighbors or a gas station and got the water.
Just did it to see if I could. :-).
I'm cool like that you know?
:-).
I guess you do since you're going to marry me :-).
I still just can't believe I'm gonna marry the baddest bitch on the planet :-).
Love you sweetheart.
