“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.”
This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb, with a plumb line in his hand.
And the Lord asked me, “What do you see, Amos?” “A plumb line,” I replied. Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.
All which ye seeks, man who climbs mountain-top for wisdom, is found only within the cloth which girds thine loins at the bottom!
Our Purpose:
It seems to be the glaring liability that most men only aspire for the minor degrees of knowledge. This fallacy has inculcated such a liability of drastic proportions upon the institution that raising it back up to its former glory is an up-trestle ladder-climb!
The historic metamorphosis from an operative Craft (a tangible, constructive ablative of means,) to a speculating population has caused the masses to assimilate into an incoherent, purposely self-deceived anti-ouroboros). (Mackey)
Remaining exist a purview which treads beyond Common Man’s ambition.
“This is a true saying, If any man desire the office of a Bishop, he desireth a worthy work. A Bishop therefore must be unreproveable, the husband of one wife, watching, temperate, modest, harborous, apt to teach, Not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, no fighter, not covetous.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
“… Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls. …”-JEREMIAH 6:16
“…ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it,…”

–Words of God-
“Flee for safety, people of Benjamin! Flee from Jerusalem! Sound the trumpet in Tekoa! Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem! For disaster looms out of the north, even terrible destruction. I will destroy Daughter Zion, so beautiful and delicate. Shepherds with their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents around her, each tending his own portion.”
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
“And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”

Book of JOHN
The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
“Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.”
“The While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.”
“While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.”
These people do not like me, because I do what the boss would want done when the boss is not around!
The Bullshit I Put Up With
I do what the boss would want done when the boss is not around. That is why coworkers do not like me. I am a guy who, “pulls the wooden shoe out of the cogs of the gear.”
The Lazy Racetracker
Nobody wants the boss or the boss’s son around all the time; and the Lazy Racetracker wants a promotion for doing nothing.
“I believe in God, the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.”
What is the beginning? Where is that end? Who seeks a question? How tell an answer. When middle is, “middle,” “now, middle,” is middle, now!
You would think that to love the Lord, God, our creator, would be inherent,… a, “given,” … just an understood fact of life! Who wouldn’t love the one who created everything? That’s easy! … Right? Ahh,…but many do not believe they were created. They do not believe that there is a being to express gratitude towards! They do not believe in God. They believe that randomness and luck are the primordial conditions which have initially catalyzed life!
If randomness and luck were the beginning, (the only, two ingredients which formed the zygote of all of which has ever been,) how is it not random and lucky that there is a God, who, himself, was created by that randomness and luck, thereafter, such God created order and predictability, … the world?
Picked up my check, Leave work. Stop at gas station. Battery Dead. Don’t have enough cash for a new battery. Battery is $121.00. I have $42.00 on one debit card. $72.50 on my other debit card. Hmmm,… … Paycheck = $260.00 Get a Jumpstart. I payed a gas station $20.00 to cash my check, because I had a whopping 114.00 available funds. -(Step number, “Fuck!”) Take battery out. Purchase new fucker. Install new fucker. As I am installing the thing that holds it down- (You know the long bolt with a U on the end), I think, “Maybe, I should put the key in and see if it works before I tighten this down.” I had faith. Crank it! Put key in ignition. NOTHING. Repeat step number, Fuck! Bring Dead New Battery back in. Get another one. I suggested counter-testing it. DEAD. Third battery was a charm. Being a man is fun.
“Man longs to live in comfort and pleasure, but nature, who knows better what he was made for, gives him toil and painful strife so that he may raise himself above the sphere of his sorrows.”
I held back the tears,
washing that dish,
Knowing that those eyes would soon
shimmer no more upon me;
Glimmer no more in my sight;
Blink neither a tear of sorrow with me,
Nor open in excitement at me!
Leah’s eyes – They shine and glimmer as if two stars from Orion’s Belt have escaped their constellation to take throne upon the most beautiful place known to the universe!
“That was so good!” She smiled.
“Thank you! …. I washed the dish!”
I’m doing dishes for the Invisible Woman.
Leah Hates Doing Dishes.
I’m doin’ the dishes for Leah.
No, Leah was not going to do the dishes; I am doing the dishes because Leah wants me to make her pancakes, But I only have enough dishes for myself; So I am doing my own dishes so Leah may eat off of a clean plate.
If I were cooking only for me, I would not bother to clean the dishes! … As I scrubbed my little, bluestone plate, I thought of her- How she said she never does dishes.
Leah eats finger food- she even plucks sizzling, steaming onions from the pan while they’re still cooking! With her bare hands, she slurps them down in second-degree-tongue-burning style!
“I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.”

-Morning-
Sunday is church day.
I attended church service at the Ocala Farm Ministry this morning. It was a light congregation- smaller than it was a couple of years ago when I had attended. Chaplain Bob was so inviting! His smile was the light of the room!
Before the service began, I wrote about a recent experience. I wrote:
“The Scout goes by compass, both morally and navigationally and ventures only to glean the best of the whole. Mankind is dependent on The Scout. Information is The Holy Grail. Clarity is the Treasure! In our Scouts, our Rangers, the young men of the old, Mankind instills its faith.”

“In arrogance, there is great ruin and great instability. In idleness, there is loss and dire poverty, for idleness is the mother of famine.”
Book of Tobit 4:13
“Do not keep with you overnight the wages of those who have worked for you, but pay them at once. … Be on guard, son, in everything you do; be wise in all that you say, and discipline yourself in all your conduct. Do to no man or woman what you hate yourself.”
Living the dangerous life, my psyche is always right at home within my own skin whilst dancing in synchronicity with the turmoil in the throws of the Punk-Rock pit.
“…His neurons tend not to carve-out the necessary pathways to the doors- beyond which the candle of truth flickers relentlessly for eternity.”
The Face Which Tries to Look at Itself
A man interprets, “doing the Lord’s work,” as living as the example of compassion and unconditional love. The man knows that, “the ultimate answer,” is to love the Lord above everything else. The man deems the act of loving himself as being the most selfish action a man could possibly undertake. (PROVERBS 16:5) The man, rather, deems that sacrificing himself for the sake of the happiness of others is, “doing the Lord’s work.” The man fails to actively share the love with himself which he yearns to share with others. In order to become the light of God for others, the man must learn to love the one person whom he deems to be most unworthy of such unconditional love!* This man has trained his mind to employ self-sacrifice over self-love. His neurons tend not to carve-out the necessary pathways to the doors- beyond which the candle of truth flickers relentlessly for eternity.

A horse who slow-walks off of the track with the intention of being near other horses who are acting-up, therefore, giving them an excuse to act-up as well.

How many women in your circle know how to bake a loaf of bread from scratch or how to potty-train an infant?”
Two Reasons Why Women Wearing Sexy Pants Is Corrupting Our Culture.
For many women, today, sex is the only thing they have to offer!
Did women ever wear mini skirts in the 1930’s,… why not?
We are living in an overly-sexualized culture where women walk around wearing spandex- which is the equivalent to a woman wearing a short skirt in the 1930’s!
Let Us Quote: “…I also want women to dress mosdestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”
1 TIMOTHY 2:9-10
Women use sex as a magical power- a power which men do not possess. This phenomena has ravaged our culture to the point of devolving us into camel riders, again!
How many women in your daily life know how to bake a loaf of bread from scratch or how to potty-train a toddler? How many men do you know who can change the oil in a car?
“… speaking of it in terms of a man’s Christian walk. He needs mature Christian men to mentor him He needs Christian brothers roughly the same age to walk with him through life. He needs younger men to mentor.”
“There is no time in nature. There is rhythm in nature, yes. There is motion in nature. But the clock as a measure of motion is a human artifact. The world, as it spins on its axis, doesn’t tick.”

“After this , I will return
and rebuild David’s fallen tent.”
This is the beginning of, or cornerstone of, the Temple. As the Sela Hammahlkoth is a fresh, encouraging Attitude, the destination is exactly that Unknown Feeling! ‘Tis a school, this project. ACTS 15:16 is not the journey. The destination is its own mystery.
