2020 May 02-May 03 Proverbs 13, Third (Profaning) of the Ten, TWGA, weekly CTC
Welcome, wishing you a safe and pleasant day, as we continue cautious and considerate of others during this time. Let's continue in Proverbs 13, verses 17-21, then consider the Third of the Ten Commandments, Friday's TWGA, and the weekly CTC Corner.
"17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
But a faithful envoy brings healing. 18 Whoever neglects discipline
comes to poverty and disgrace, But the one accepting correction will be
glorified. 19 Desire when realized is sweet to a person, But the stupid
hate to turn away from bad. 20 The one walking with the wise will become
wise, But the one who has dealings with the stupid will fare badly. 21
Calamity pursues sinners, But prosperity rewards the righteous."
Prove 13:17 An evil messenger may fall to distorting the message for his own greed, or selfish gain. Such was the case with Gehazi, an attendant of God's prophet Elisha. After Naaman, the army chief of the king of Syria took ill with leprosy, an Israelite girl told him he could be cured by a prophet of the true God, Jehovah. Elisha tells him to wash in the Jordan, the river of Israel, seven times and he would be cleansed. He eventually humbles himself to do so, and is cured! He wants to give a gift to Elisha for his cure, but Elisha takes no credit, giving it to Jehovah God. After departing, however, Elisha's attendant Gehazi begins to get greedy, thinking he could receive the gift intended for Elisha. Gehazi actually returns to Naaman, at which Naaman asks "Is everything all right?" Gehazi then delivers his false "message." 2Kings 5:22 says: "To this he said: “All is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Look! Just now two young men from the mountainous region of Eʹphra·im from the sons of the prophets came to me. Give them, please, a talent of silver and two changes of garments.’”" He receives his "gift" and eventually returns to Elisha, who says to him: "Where did you come from, Gehazi?" He answers "Your servant did not go anywhere." Verses 26-27 explains what happened next: "26 E·liʹsha said to him: “Was my heart not there with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to accept silver or to accept garments or olive groves or vineyards or sheep or cattle or male or female servants? 27 Now Naʹa·man’s leprosy will stick to you and your descendants forever.” Immediately he went out from before him a leper, white as snow." What a lesson! May we never lie, cheat, or steal in the name of Jehovah!

What a lesson! May we never lie, cheat, or steal in the name of Jehovah!
"18 Whoever neglects discipline comes to poverty and disgrace, But the one accepting correction will be glorified."
Prove
13:18 It is "only fools [that] despise wisdom and discipline." Their
neglect of discipline, or the loving correction offered by others,
continues their foolishness, and leads them to "poverty and disgrace." Of course, reaching this point should be a "wake-up call" for the person, realizing the reason they came to such a situation in life. This "poverty" is primarily spiritual, although it could be literal as well. The person clearly needs to learn to accept correction, and improve their life dramatically! A
truly wise person "listens and takes in more instruction." Such a
person is humble, willing to accept correction, and "will be glorified"
in God's way and time.
"19 Desire when realized is sweet to a person, But the stupid hate to turn away from bad."
Prove
13:19 We need to be careful, as "expectation postponed is making the
heart sick." So we should not spend undue time longing for things that
may not come when we expect. Also, "do not be planning ahead for the
desires of the flesh." So, while having right desires, wait until they
come, then we may rejoice in the gift of God we desire, and it will be
"sweet to a person." The morally stupid one, who often knows what's right but refuses to do it, will not usually be blessed by God to receive the realization of His rewards. May we avoid spiritual stupidity, by learning to
hate what is bad in the genuine fear of Jehovah, desiring never to
displease Him.
"20 The one walking with the wise will become wise, But the one who has dealings with the stupid will fare badly."
Prove
13:20 It is 1Corinthians 15:33 that cautions "...Bad associations spoil
useful habits." So may we diligently find truly "wise" persons to enjoy
good company with, those who love Jehovah, turn away from bad, loving
what is right in God's eyes, what is truly right and good for the
benefit of all long-term, to live peacefully and endlessly before God. If we deal often with morally stupid ones, we will be affected. Another translation of 1Corinthians 15:33 says "...Bad company corrupts good character." (NLT, NIV). While seeking to help such ones embrace a right path, to make better choices in life, due caution is in order, lest we fall victim spiritually.
"21 Calamity pursues sinners, But prosperity rewards the righteous."
Prove
13:21 Calamity pursues, or "chases after" sinners, as they eventually
experience the undesirable consequences of badness afterward. The
righteous, however, tend to enjoy prosperity, the results that come from
holding to God's standards. Coupled with blessings from God,
right-hearted ones find great reward in serving Him, in doing His will. May we treasure a good relationship with God, seeking to hold to His righteous standards, happy that He is a God standing for everything good, fair, right and lovely in life.

TEN COMMANDMENTS
Let’s consider Exodus 20:7
“7 “You must not take up the name of Jehovah your God in a worthless way, for Jehovah will not leave unpunished the one who takes up His name in a worthless way.””
MISUSING GOD'S NAME. So what is meant by taking up God’s name “in a worthless way?” Let’s compare other Bible translations. One says this: “You must not misuse the name of the LORD your God. The LORD will not let you go unpunished if you misuse His name.” (NLT, New Living Translation). King James Version says “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain...” By comparing these, we can see that we must not worship the true God Jehovah in a false way, intending to misrepresent Him in any way. With imperfection, unintentional mistakes are understandable. Many newer ones to the Christian path have just begun to learn, but are making significant changes in their thinking and habits! However, there are some who know the truth about God, even how to do what is right before Him. They repeat this information to others in a religious setting, and appear, even claim, to be the most faithful of men, but then, out of public eye, they often choose to violate His laws and even intentionally practice outright evil! They do almost whatever they think they can get away with--what a reproach to Jehovah's name! For this reason, Jesus warned his followers about the religious leaders of his day, as we read at Matthew 23:1-3: “23 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying: 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the seat of Moses. 3 Therefore, all the things they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds, for they say but they do not practice what they say.” Rather than humbly serving God faithfully, these men were arrogantly lifting themselves up over others, claiming greatness before God. This haughty attitude was actually sinful in itself, although leading to further sin and, if unchecked, a terrible fall. Proverbs 21:4 says “ 4 Haughty eyes and an arrogant heart —The lamp that guides the wicked is sin.” And Proverbs 16:18 says “18 Pride is before a crash, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.”
PONDER TO HEED. The importance of pondering over God’s word or spiritual instruction as it is read cannot be overstated. The divine truth of God is not about mere “head knowledge,” but one must convince his heart to heed divine instruction, to consider how to apply it in everyday life, for the benefit of others and oneself. Prayer for God's blessing on one's spiritual intake should be taken seriously. Also, perhaps each paragraph of instruction should accompany reflection upon it, to ensure proper understanding of it’s benefits and application. At least two questions should be occasionally asked to gain the most from study material. The first is “Why is this instruction beneficial, and perhaps beautiful, or to be appreciated?” The second is, “How do I apply this information in my personal life, for the benefit of others and myself?” Thus in short, "Why B&B?" and "How apply?" Thoughtfully considering such things should help the material to penetrate our heart, where it will move us to act upon it. May we thus choose the right things to study, things upholding God’s word and it’s beneficial truths. While we may reasonably choose balanced entertainment to enjoy, Philippians 4:8 overviews standards evidently for the type of material a congregation of God should give spiritual attention to in a religious setting. It is good to be aware of these beneficial standards. We read: “8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well-spoken-of, whatever things are virtuous, and whatever things are praiseworthy, continue considering these things.” May we thus take seriously the things we feed our minds and hearts upon, that we not be persuaded away from the truth of God leading to true happiness, peace, and love, with eternity in view!
________THRICE WEEKLY GOLDEN APPLES (TWGA)
Arriving at May 1st, the issue of due rent for many unemployed is not one to dismiss lightly. What Bible principles could help in this matter?
WE SHOULD BEAR IN MIND THE TWO GREATEST COMMANDMENTS OF THE LAW, AS EMPHASIZED BY JESUS:
Matthew 22:36-40 reads: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.”
ACCORDINGLY, BOTH PARTIES SHOULD BEAR IN MIND THAT EACH LIKELY HAS BILLS TO PAY, BUT COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING SHOULD REIGN SUPREME AT THIS TIME WHEREVER POSSIBLE!
Could the landlords or owners make calls of their own, to see if leniency on their end may be possible in their case?
All should consider following the advice of Proverbs 6, verses 1-5, wherever applicable:
"My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, If you have given your handshake to a stranger, 2 If you have been ensnared by your promise, Caught by the words of your mouth, 3 Do this, my son, and free yourself, For you have fallen into the hand of your neighbor: Go and humble yourself and urgently plead with your neighbor. 4 Do not allow your eyes to sleep, Nor your eyelids to slumber. 5 Free yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand, Like a bird from the hand of the birdcatcher."
ALL SHOULD HUMBLY SEEK GOD'S ASSISTANCE TO MAKE GOOD, WISE, THOUGHTFUL DECISIONS IN THESE MATTERS.
Psalm 55:22 says:
"Throw your burden on Jehovah, And he will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to fall."
"Throw your burden on Jehovah, And he will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to fall."
Proverbs 15:22b-23 may also be of help to some:
"There is accomplishment through many advisers. 23 A man rejoices in giving the right answer, And a word spoken at the right time—how good it is!"
Discussing matters to come up with workable solutions, and considering thoughtfully how to best handle matters, may bring accomplishment to all--look for a WIN-WIN solution wherever possible!

COME TO CONSENSUS CORNER
Week 8:
ISSUE AFTER ISSUE ADDRESSED BY GOD’S KINGDOM: MARRIAGE & PARTNERSHIPS
Philippians 4:5 “Let your reasonableness become known to all men. The Lord is near.”
Hebrews 13:4a “Let marriage be honorable among all...”
MARRIED LIFE. For true Christians generally, God’s word throughout encourages married life.[For those struggling with such a view of marriage, the paragraph headed “OTHER SITUATIONS” below may contain some helpful information.] While the apostle Paul once recommended singleness, he was then speaking to original anointed Christians with the heavenly calling, to become “as angels” in the heavens above. Even at that, marriage while on earth was still an option. For God’s eternal universal purpose, clearly marriage may be considered a gift—to share life’s experiences with a beloved married companion. Who will be your partner, as we clean up our planet, and welcome our ancestors back to life on earth? Who will this partner be if afterward, God wishes you to start a family, even elsewhere in the universe? Supposing there is nothing interfering with the typical romantic feelings experienced by men and women, we might ask: What of one nearing marriageable age—a young man or a young woman?
YOUNG MEN. Considering a restored standard of marriage for most every person, trusting God to help one find a suitable partner, or to help two near marriage to take that step, how might we view the growth process in preparation for this potentially joyful relationship? A young man who is able to work to support himself, upon reaching a marriageable and responsible age, might choose to leave his parents’ home and begin to find and manage a home of his own. He could certainly have begun preparing for such a step years before, with the help of parents and others. All such men should learn how to manage their own home, as they will need to do this well in the caring of a wife and children. If he has not yet found a suitable wife, or a woman that is yet ready to take the step of marriage, how might he proceed? If he has a well-paying job that can support him alone and the paying of taxes for a single person, he may choose this course, while looking for the one to become his wife. However, many young men find it a challenge to rent a place or even pay mortgage on a home early in their working careers.
PARTNERSHIPS. What if two such men, perhaps already friends, neither yet having a marriage relationship, could take a stance as partners—let’s call them “Term Growth Partners.” One could take the lead in finding and paying for the home, being the primary owner or renter, while both work and contribute financially to the home and various expenses and needs that come up. Both are learning or practicing skills necessary for the management of a home that will be essential to begin a marriage and family. Neither one should practice laziness or shirk responsibility. Both should contribute almost equally for the benefit of one another, learning to be considerate of others as if having a family of one’s own. Why not allow such T.G.Partners to receive a tax credit similar to that of married folk, as these men are seeking and readying themselves for this relationship? And if they qualify, why not allow these responsible men even, if they wish, to foster a child who is without loving parents, either a young boy or girl, as long as one of the two men take primary responsibility for the child, and continue looking for a suitable wife, as a mother to the precious child? It should probably be the owner of the home, or primary renter, that be the responsible caregiver and provider for the child, but both should qualify to provide responsible care for the child in this partnership. Once again, a tax credit should be provided as in a family situation.
YOUNG WOMEN. What about a young woman, who herself has reached a marriageable and responsible age, and yet has not found a suitable partner? Why must she be burdened with the care and management of a home, that most young men are already preparing themselves for? Why shouldn’t the young woman remain, if possible, with her parents at their home, while perhaps finding suitable work, also practicing the skills that will be beneficial in support of her husband and children, when she finds him, with God’s blessing? With work, she may contribute to the parents’ expenses while hopefully having something to save for her own family’s needs in the future. This arrangement would prevent unnecessary burdens and expenses on the would-be new family, once she finds a suitable marriage partner! She may have been able to save up more for the family, that otherwise may have been lost to rent or mortgage costs. What does a new family do with two homes, two mortgages, or two rented properties—how much work goes into selling one of them, selling and/or consolidating furniture and other items accumulated in each home? Of course, this must be done in the case of those already on their own, and it may be considered a task helping the two to work out any differences fairly and agreeably between them. However, if the young woman can be free from such unnecessary burdens, how much more easily will be the transition to married life! Perhaps depending on her work situation, she may or may not be considered a dependent for tax purposes, the parents possibly receiving a tax credit to make up for the added expenses associated with her stay. Either way, this would appear to be the most beneficial situation for a young woman looking to marry. Evidently, “Philip the evangelizer” was able to support his four virgin daughters, even as they shared with him in the Christian ministry. (Acts 21:8-9). There are many examples throughout the Scriptures of women remaining at home until marriage—if this is possible in a given situation, we’ve seen many advantages to this. (Genesis 24; 29).
A PRECIOUS CHILD. Considering the foregoing, might there be adequate young families to care for a child who may have been born to a mother that is unwed and is not yet adequately prepared to raise him or her, if there are no relatives in a position to accept this responsibility either? Even if the child was conceived in rape or incest, is he or she not still a precious life? Certainly every precaution should be taken to prevent such a situation, but in the case that it does occur, how does God feel about any child conceived in or out of wedlock, according to His inspired word? Even God’s servant David wrote about his pre-birth self, in Psalm 139.
Notice verses 13-16: “13 For you produced my kidneys; You kept me screened off in my mother’s womb.14 I praise you because in an awe-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, I know this very well.15 My bones were not hidden from you When I was made in secret, When I was woven in the depths of the earth.16 Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts were written in your book Regarding the days when they were formed, Before any of them existed.”
EVEN “AS AN EMBRYO.” David refers to his time in the womb of his mother, and even as an embryo, before any body parts even existed! It was still David, who would go on to become King of Israel! There is another Bible passage, in the Mosaic Law, that reveals God’s view of an unborn child. This is found at Exodus 21:22-23:
“22 “If men should struggle with each other and they hurt a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but no fatality results, the offender must pay the damages imposed on him by the husband of the woman; and he must pay it through the judges. 23 But if a fatality does occur, then you must give life for life”
GOD’S VIEW OF THE UNBORN. Yes, the unborn child was considered a life to God, such that if it was harmed before birth, the one causing the harm was even to die, if the child died as a result, according to the principle of eye for an eye, and in this case, life for a life. The purpose of such a strong penalty is so that those knowing the Law would AVOID becoming guilty of such things, so as NOT to receive such a harsh outcome. But as mentioned this reveals God’s view of the unborn child—just as much a life or a person as the one causing harm to a pregnant woman. Many women have suffered emotional pain after going through an abortion procedure—why not rather have this precious child, and give it up for adoption if the mother or a relative is yet unready to care for him or her? Yes, God did increase the pain of pregnancy after sin entered the human family, but it wasn’t done so as to prevent a woman from giving birth—it can be a tremendous bonding experience, even talking to or reading to the child before birth. And that increase of pain may well be ending, as the start of God’s Kingdom nears! It may well be that many aborted children will be resurrected by God and Christ in the new world, that they may see the light of day and the love of their parents, if possible, having renewed appreciation for this gift of life! Let’s consider God’s gift of life sacred and precious, and do what we reasonably can to protect it!
OTHER SITUATIONS. Now, of course not everyone is in the same position as the young men and women mentioned previously. Many are happily married, and have families of their own. Of course, those with more experience in life and a strong Christian faith would also be suited to accept foster children, if their hearts were ready for such a gift. And why wouldn’t two older men, unmarried, qualify as T.G.Partners as well, having even more experience in life, each looking for a married partner, and also perhaps qualifying to care for a foster child, if desired? Also, as God’s Kingdom nears, His power will certainly be available upon the human family, manifested in various ways. He can, for instance, restore transgender persons back to their original gender, but this time with the proper feelings appropriate for them, as “male and female He [God] created them.” (Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4). Recall that humans are not just spirits—we are physiological creatures, affected by various chemical processes and substances, some of which could create imbalances or disturbances if left unchecked. Some petroleum and plastics molecules, for instance, mimic hormones such as estrogens. As discussed previously in another article, one such substance, a pesticide called atrazine, has been used on some 75% or more of corn crops in the U.S., and can cause male frogs to turn female! Just what effect could it be having on humans? There are similar chemicals no doubt having a similar effect on many, even from a young age. Jesus spoke of a time of “re-creation.” (Matthew 19:28). So why wouldn’t Jehovah God be able to restore precious humans to the condition He intended them to be in for their genuine happiness and satisfaction in life? And let the Kingdom investigate to find alternatives to things that would contribute to “ruining the earth.”
CONCLUSION
GENUINE HAPPINESS. With God’s unfolding eternal purpose in view, brought about through His Kingdom, He doubtless intends many, if not all persons, to be happily married, sharing life’s experiences with a beloved partner. Thus the exhortation to “let marriage be honorable among all...” (Hebrews 13:4). God and Christ are also reasonable and understanding of various factors inhibiting the proper feelings of some men and women toward one another, and can correct such matters. May even young men and women be blessed by God to prepare for married life, and then to find that suitable marriage partner, delighting in the joys associated with that precious bond of union. May all others likewise appreciate this gift of God, and come to bring their lives into harmony with God’s loving purpose for humans, that we may look forward to genuine happiness, in a new world of peace and righteousness, by God’s divine standards!

Of course, those with more experience in life and a strong Christian faith would also be suited to accept foster children, if their hearts were ready for such a gift. And why wouldn’t two older men, unmarried, qualify as T.G.Partners as well, having even more experience in life, each looking for a married partner, and also perhaps qualifying to care for a foster child, if desired? Also, as God’s Kingdom nears, His power will certainly be available upon the human family, manifested in various ways. He can, for instance, restore transgender persons back to their original gender, but this time with the proper feelings appropriate for them, as “male and female He [God] created them.” (Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4). Recall that humans are not just spirits—we are physiological creatures, affected by various chemical processes and substances, some of which could create imbalances or disturbances if left unchecked. Some petroleum and plastics molecules, for instance, mimic hormones such as estrogens. As discussed previously in another article, one such substance, a pesticide called atrazine, has been used on some 75% or more of corn crops in the U.S., and can cause male frogs to turn female! Just what effect could it be having on humans? There are similar chemicals no doubt having a similar effect on many, even from a young age. Jesus spoke of a time of “re-creation.” (Matthew 19:28). So why wouldn’t Jehovah God be able to restore precious humans to the condition He intended them to be in for their genuine happiness and satisfaction in life? And let the Kingdom investigate to find alternatives to things that would contribute to “ruining the earth.”
CONCLUSION
GENUINE HAPPINESS. With God’s unfolding eternal purpose in view, brought about through His Kingdom, He doubtless intends many, if not all persons, to be happily married, sharing life’s experiences with a beloved partner. Thus the exhortation to “let marriage be honorable among all...” (Hebrews 13:4). God and Christ are also reasonable and understanding of various factors inhibiting the proper feelings of some men and women toward one another, and can correct such matters. May even young men and women be blessed by God to prepare for married life, and then to find that suitable marriage partner, delighting in the joys associated with that precious bond of union. May all others likewise appreciate this gift of God, and come to bring their lives into harmony with God’s loving purpose for humans, that we may look forward to genuine happiness, in a new world of peace and righteousness, by God’s divine standards!

Between Winchester, Virginia, and hopefully, Washington D.C., having confidence that our thankful trust in God will not fail to inspire us to the peace He has purposed via His Kingdom!

(d.710Mnd, f726Sat 1:26-27 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Update to blogpost 3, (Intro) Foundational articles. (d.709Rih,f725Fri 6:16,18,20,49-50,55,58; 7:02; 8:05; 9:58; 10:41,55,59 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Upcoming: To post the Review of Psalm 119 Stanzas 12-14, also aiming for other segment posts to further orient the latest blogpost pages. NOTE: Of course, my primary focus is on this nation and things related to my doing and being what God has prepared me to do, be, etc. As regards the 400-day calendar, now the 7-day is off about 16 days for the year, and I noticed that the 1st of August, being a Friday, could be an entry point, if it was accepted and organized properly. Many companies could give workers off that day, with one more day off following, then it would be Sunday but essentially Monday/Moonday of the new calendar, the 18th of Month 7 Huli, for another 5 days work, unless the Sunday was also given off, for a 4-day workweek, then still another 2 days off, before the next 5-day workweek would lead to the 4-day week-ending break. Thus technically Month 7 would be extended, while both calendars can be understood and acknowledged, going from the 7-Day to the 8-Day Calendar. There are ways to pad the 7-day calendar to better line up with the 8-Day going forward, so the seasons do not continue to get off-kilter year after year from the 7-day, as a transitional calendar, which is excellent for planning and correlating dates, etc. to the new calendar. I urge many to think about how this transition would be implemented in what you or your team does, as over half the world knows that this is the true calendar, and has already transitioned to it, and even much of the United States was acknowledging it as the true calendar astronomically, scientifically, etc. for a considerable time last year. At least we might get the conversation going again, with God really having intervened to bring about this change--are some having difficulty realizing God's love for all? This time of consideration actually leads to a period of three weeks (!) where the two calendars nearly match up on the weekends, confirming this as an excellent time to look into transitioning, which again was being considered and in some practice at times previously here in the U.S., where the revealing of God's intervention and calendar originated. The third weekend mentioned has the 16th-17th of August aligning with Days 7-8 (31st-32nd) of the final weekend of Huli, Month 7. (As regards days 32-33 or 34 of months, new computer data fields have been created for the new calendar, different from what has been in place for the 7-day, to accommodate.

I apologize that I let the podcast this week take time away from posting like I would otherwise do. It is time as well for the new blogposts, moving into the 7th month of the 400-day, extending through the middle of the 8th month with this current format. Thus much will be retained, with the ongoing material continued into the new blogposts. If you wish, please use this time to review anything else you might benefit from, and there still is an additional article or two not on these pages that I plan to post soon to the new. I may post some of the podcast in text format later, perhaps the first episode for those interested in the week's theme and introduction.

(d.627Trs, 710Thu 6:58-7:01,19,41; 8:24 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I apologize for the delay, I expect to get back to my punctuality that I was known for, throughout my 2020 election year, for example, and afterward, with God's continued blessing! NOTE : As you may realize, I've continued this blogset based on the 400-day calendar (the true one, astronomically, meteorologically, scientifically, etc.), and hopefully which we will acknowledge here, as many localities and regions here in the United States were doing for much time last year! There was some confusion about the reality of this or the connections to my Come to Consensus article, referring to it as the 8-Day Calendar, having God's blessing on new sets of month- and daynames that carry real meaning into our lives, benefitting us more, and underscoring God's interest and love for us. I'm looking to post a few more articles, some Persistent Articles, which I think will replace the Persistent/Introductory Posts designation. Thus PA's will usually be articles that may benefit more people, or benefit people more, in some way, with God's blessing. The full 8-Day Calendar article, as a CTC article, is one I actually thought was posted already this blog cycle, but I wish to post soon today, although it is available on the last blog 3C/8C. I want to review before posting on 4C/8C, blogpost 3 (the C in 4C/8C). I may change referring to blogpost 3 to blogpost C. I may also update the wording of the Educational Note on blogpost 3/C. Update, but article still coming. Article is there, under PA's (Persistent Articles) on blogpost 3/C, as (8-2). There are still other articles I wish to include in the next few days...I've updated that article, month 1, and more updates are possible. (d.626Mnd, 709Wed 8:45-46 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well!

Formatting, clarity on (8B) location. (d.621Hvn, f704Fri 10:58-59 am; 8:18,28,36; 9:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well and a happy sorta 4th! I've completed the text of the podcast Winit500 theme of last November, w0840-44 U.S. Election for President, 2024. It is in the list under (1B) the Win-it Minute Series work., podcast available on Spotify, elsewhere. Also, don't forget about the Significantly Revised article, What It Means To Be Righteous or Upright, on the Top Menu above. Let's continue to look to God and Christ above, as we navigate current circumstances--there is much we can accomplish together when we look above and stand for what's true and right, and what the Founders of our Nation stood for, the same, and looking for God's blessing for things to be as they should. Let's not assume that just because someone may want us to believe a lie, that we just need to go along with it--that's not who we are! Americans across our nation voted, elected me President of the United States, for good reason, and I'm the one blessed by God to be so, doing what I can despite our circumstances--recall that Donald Trump acknowledged at one point that he was not the President of the United States, but seems to have managed to sweep that under the carpet somehow. Nevertheless we want the best for all, recognizing God's love for all, but we also want our Nation truly as it Should Be, and as GOD will blessing it to Become! ALSO POSTED (7) Proverbs B Commentary, chapter 11 conclusion, verses 27-31! (d.620Wdn, f703Thu 8:03 am; 9:38,55,58; 10:50 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted (1B) Winit500, text of Episode 2, w0841 U.S. Election for President, 2024. W5a w0840- under Win-it Minute Series below. NOW also the REVISED ARTICLE, What It Means To Be Righteous or Upright. Titles. Some correction. (d.619Too, f702Wed 9:59 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted (3) Proverbs A, chapter 4, verses 24-27, concluding chapter 4. (d.618Moo, f701Tue 7:08-09,15,31,44,48,58; 8:03 am; 7:17,59 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Got the Podcast Episode 1 Text posted from yesterday, on the W5a w0840-44 U.S. Election for President 2024, listed under the (1B) Win-it Minute Series, explaining how Donald was attempting to defraud the public by claiming victory in the Presidential election, covering the TRUE results of the election by America. Later, however, as addressed in a later podcast, and after still staging an inauguration, he was willing at one point to be honest with the American people and admit that he was "not the President of the United States", as many who voted for me (and Washington, etc.) hopefully are coming to realize. I've also posted the 2025 Claim to Presidency text in the main body of Winit5to9 Posts, with the more recent Harvard and Issue of Government posts to follow sometime. Formatting, text accuracy. Now also, posted (7) Proverbs B, PR-B(11.5) chapter 11, verses 22-26. Formatting. (d.617Son, f630Mon 5:33-34; 8:56,58; 9:53; 10:22,36,48 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've moved last year's podcast from after the 2024 November election to the top of my Find Life And See Podcast on Spotify, W5a w0840-44 U.S. Election for President 2024. I have a place for the text of this podcast below, which I intend to begin posting today. NOW please consider carefully (when you are able) the PIP article below, Names of God and Christ, Clarified, for a carefully composed revision! You may also see the Note from yesterday, just below, regarding God's Name. Updates. (d.616Fan, f629Sun 10:16,18,34 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! As I've occasionally referred to, there has been interference by some, trying to corrupt good work or rob me of much of my own work, whether claiming my own website articles or my podcast work, ideas/designs/patents, etc., and especially even my rightful win as President of the United States, after already being the true 46th President of the United States, fully expecting this time to finally make it to the White House, where I can be and do fully what the American people have looked forward and expect me to be and do. Another thing has come to my attention--my work on restoring God's true name. At one point I was clarifying God's name to be JEHOVAHZ, not Jehovalz. Someone with power attempted to take credit for this, and try to cause confusion about JEHOVALZ, which is now understood to be one of the three GODs that make up the Complete JEHOVAHZ. While knowing Him as a GOD of Vows/Valz, altogether He brings things about, especially His will, in many ways, not only by the keeping of Promises. I'll be updating the website accordingly, and the NAMES of God and Christ article, to again reflect this position. I've already updated the recently posted (4B) Psalm 119 Review 4 Stanzas 01-11 to reflect this change. Also now the most recent (3) Proverbs A, PR-A(4.5). Also (7) Proverbs B, PR-B(11.4) Correction.

Posted 1B-1 so far the Conclusion of the podcast Proper View of God and Life Rewarding, the episode 5 w0834 having become a theme for my campaign, entitled 'Restore Good - Move Forward'. Also, posted this year's entire podcast, the carryover as Winit5to9, w0850-0854, with the theme: 2025 Claim to Presidency. This is under segment (1B) as 1B-3. Also, yesterday's 13th of Month 5 was Thunderday, a day when you more often will hear thunder as from God, realizing He can lend forth His mighty voice to things taking place, as a God of true justice, reminding us of His power, truth, and love. Still there have been interferences, etc.--NOT all storms are from God. Today's 8-Day Calendar day is the second week's Friday, the first week of two being Starzday, for movie-going, etc, with the second being Prayerzday, which begins a four-day or five-day weekend, a day which could also be used for entering court pleas, etc. Prayers of course help all to maintain closeness to God and His Son, and provisions for life. Also, 1A posts, WGA-A, previous. The reference is 1A-2 Previous GA(1A-102-217) on Presidency, Economy, Tariffs, Govt Cuts, etc. This post is originally from the 2025 2/8 START page (blogpost 1), where it (in 2 posts) may still be found. Correction made to most of those individual posts for this page to match the original reference number format, for technical purposes; I will make that change if appropriate on the next blogpost 4A/8A, planning to carry it over. 25d.513Thd,f524Sat 5:31; 6:20-21,39-40; 7:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted 1A-3 Golden Apples Post, GA(008) On the Number Eight (8). Included as a Latest GA post. Also soon to come, a Psalm 19 rendition. Posted, as latest and Psalms Post 1, numbered 2.1. Updates Psalm 19, note. 25d.512Wnd,f523Fri 9:18-23; 10:15 am; 9:50-53,55,59; 10:27,33,37; 11;11:08-09,59 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've added another post to (1A) WGA-A, after the A-306 from last night, on the Penny news. This one, A-307, is regarding an important lesson from ancient Greece. Again, these are on this blogpost 1 below, under segment 1A (Weekly) Golden Apples. Also now another (3) Proverbs A, PR-A(3.6), chapter 3, verses 31-35, concluding chapter 3. NOTE : Now letting you know I'm planning to fill-in the missing pieces on the 3 blogposts, but possibly just on the new 4A-C/8A-C posts which normally begin from the middle of month 5 through month 6. Most of the work done on 3A-C/8A-C will be carried over into the 4's. Along with adding WGA-A/B posts, planning especially the next 2 days if possible. I could however finish the essentials on the 3A-C's in time for Memorial Day, then carry over most into the 4's to post a day or two later. The reason this may be better is that we, as the United States, should not be ignoring the 8-Day Calendar, which half the world is already on, as a step forward in life, toward a greater world of peace, with God's blessing. After all, it originated here, in the U.S. with God's blessing on me, so why should we consider being the last to begin using it, unless we're helping others to get on it before us, like people getting into lifeboats before the captain of a ship that's slowly sinking, but such an illustration is NOT to apply to us, or in this situation, except for our captains having such genuine concern for those under their care! God's spirit is still with us to straighten things out, and to have a leading role in bringing blessings from God to other countries, even as "one nation under God". Perhaps we may begin thinking in terms of the 8-Day, I could reference the days in an article/post to remind of the purpose of the day, which I believe God is blessing for it's particular purpose that day, whether it's to strengthen our bodies with the right kind of salt intake, or acknowledging that the day might be more windy like today really was here on this Windyday the 12th of the 5th month Agreehelp (Agr). But I realize it would help for me to get where I should, and the true election results regarding the U.S. President to be acknowledged, which was or is not simple due to the AI media control that Donald had over DC, VA, and MD for the last 4-5 years or more, with at least TV, radio, and internet in the region, beginning likely with smaller measures aimed to lessen opposition to his reputation or ideas. Not everyone knew that I was on the ballot in 48 states last November, with much backing across the nation. 25d.511Tro,f522Thu 6:04,07-08,21; 7:11 am; 11:18,53 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added an Introductory/Persistent Post, Aim to Develop True Loyal Love. More work, including WGA-A/B posts today...Initially prayers that food can continue to get into Palestine, where some 11,000 lives of children and adults are currently being threatened daily, and that love and diplomacy, or mindful and peaceable discussion, be the way, rather than more war or violence. Also, other matters of course need attention. Let love and truth prevail again, as it may rest in our hearts and minds. Added to WGA-A the post (A-306), Last Run of the Penny (As We Know It)? Update. 25d.510Mnd,p521Wed 9:08-09 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 3, verses 27-30. 25d.509Rih,p520Tue 6:41,50 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added some GA posts. More coming on all 3 blogposts, and WGA! If you noticed, the post on Former U.S. Initiatives on Coal is on the blogpost 3, (8B) WGA-B on post 2C/8C, numbered (1-217). 25d.508,p519Mon 9:06-08 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well!

Now added Numbers 6-7 of The Ten Commandments. Now also Commandments 8-10! (25d.505 Hvn, f516 Fri 7:03,05,24,29,34,37; 8:11; 9:27 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted work from last evening (8B) WGA-B, B-304 post theme: Drive for Clean Energy Can Continue! on blogpost #3. Hoping to be writing again from the real START page, blogpost #1, soon! I'd like to also say, Let's thank God for blessing what we all can do regarding His will, for genuine peace--let's stand for what's true, with God's guidance and love! Some have been seeking their own glory rather than God's, and hurting others in the process, against God's will; May they humble themselves and be honest. We need divine wisdom and God's blessing on all we do! If time, planning to post (4B) Psalm 119 Part 2 of Review within the hour, Stanzas 7-8. Posted! Format update. (25d.504 Wdn, f515 Thu 9:41,50; 10:15-16,23-24,46 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've posted Part 1 of the (4) Psalm 119 Stanzas 5-8 Review (Stanzas 5-6), with two good stanza/themes. More of something to come...Posted as LATEST Psalm 119, and format updates. Also now, added (7) PR-B(11.1), Proverbs B, chapter 11 verses 1-5 on blogpost 3. Format change. (25d.502 Moo, f513 Tue 9:38,40-41 am; 9:55,58; 10:03-05,10-11; 11:01 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well, again from the Blogpost #2, not the normal messaging/notes post of the START page, blogpost 1. So much to be considering, knowing where I should be and still aiming to be, but also wanting to, within limits, address things this way, to share, offer insight, etc. Plan to make some progress on these posts today, while giving attention to the important things of our nation, etc. Several things came up, but I did review Commandment #4 of the Ten, which I've posted by itself, without numbers 5-7 yet. Looking for getting up the START page and/or more Golden Apples pieces and WGA posts on what's taking place, whether WGA-B or WGA-A (blogpost 1). Formatting update. Update, further. (25d.501 Son, f512 Mon 11:53 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Updated the Commandments 1-3 of the Ten, specifically #1. (25d.434Lun,f511Sun 10:27,38 am; 4:53; 5:41 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Again this is blogpost 2, not the normal start page, but more notesy for now until it's up! I've updated the Ps119, S08 post(s). Also, this ending of the 4th month of the 8-Day Calendar is the Hymneth long weekend, the days to include the 34th actually get switched up, so that the 30th is (Prz) Prayerzday, 31st (Hym) Hymneth, 32nd (Slt) Saltuday, 33rd (Fan) Fanday, and 34th (Lun) Lunaday. Again, the normal progression in a 33-day month is 30th Prz, 31st Slt, 32nd Fan, 33rd Lun. Now the first 3 of the Ten Commandments has been posted, looking to review before posting remainder. Update. (25d.433Fan,f510Sat 8:01; 9:01,44-45 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well again, on this page! Format basically complete for this Blogpost 2, with the Psalm 119 Stanza 8 A and B parts posted as latest segment 4B post and in the 4B list! The Memorial that many anointed ones haven't yet commemorated this year could take place this Monday evening/night (7-Day Cal.) one month following the normal one, after the example of Hezekiah's delayed Passover. Unleavened bread and red wine are symbolic of pure, genuine instruction and the ransom provision, with faith and associated joy of heart that comes with the aim of wisely keeping divine standards. Jehoshua/Jesus said 'until I drink it new with you..." Meetings that discuss the significance of this occasion and provide for both of these provisions figuratively are one way that the Passover statute in God's law that for Christians became the Memorial commemoration ('Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed') can continue to be appreciated and recognized.
Blogpost 3 (7-9) PR-B, CTC, GLH: EPH06P1: Format. Update. Also (9) GLH, Loyal Love article. Update. Added number (7) to CTC Foundational list (orig 5th article). Added (8B) WGA-B post B-304!

Recall addressing you more on this page has been temporary, until completing the new format for all 3 Blogposts, wanting them to display in order, needing to start with the third and work back for this to happen (normally I write most of these notes on Blogpost 1, the START page/post). I've finished with the formatting for this Blogpost 3, and am moving on to the other two! I plan sometime today to have Blogpost 2 started with a Psalm 119 posting from stanza 8, and with it being Saturday on the 7-Day calendar, would recommend the song Back In Time, from the movie Back to the Future, as regards, while being royal, in this case confusion over my election win(s) for President, but getting me where the President should be, especially the true one God is blessing to be so, that I may truly accomplish what the American people voted for me to serve as President and do, looking forward to what God prepared me over much time to be able to do! I've become aware of an adjustment, and am making it, to make two lists on the segment 8, a CTC list and a WGA-B list, rather than mixing them. Complete. (25d.432Fan,f509Fri 8:45,53; 11:46 am; 10:39-40 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! The post of WGA-B, (B-303) now soon to come! Topic is chosen, etc. I apologize again for the delays or the being delayed in various ways, although I aim once again to be more consistent as I had in the past with making posts on thinking and activity. Part of the reason for this has been my continued aims to be where the true U.S. President, blessed by God, should be, as I know many share this important standard that our nation has upheld in most elections throughout it's history! Added the post (B-303), Regarding Department Cuts, Some Excessive...Also posted to Seg.8 LIST (25d.430 Prz,f507 Wed 7:13,15,19 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Improved some things, still upcoming WGA-B post(s), which is a secondary form of the WGA's previously on the start page, moving some to this post on themes not as necessary for the start page content.

This is posted as the LATEST CTC POST, as well as the FIRST in the list of CURRENT CTC/WGA-B Posts, as (8.1). More preparation for upcoming WGA-B post(s), under GA(302) WGA-B #1; At least one, GA(303) to be next before ensuing blogpost work... Update to P&R article. Inclusion of Podcast reference. (25d.426Mnd,f503Sat 11:58 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added the (8-2) Persistent Post of the 8-Day Calendar article, called More Orderly Time, Month and Daynames, revised some! I've again had some interferences, for which I apologize. (25d.424Fwn,501Thu 5:08-09 pm EDT) Hello, and welcome! I've had delays, but posted is now the podcast example policy insertion into the Foundation articles from the Podcast series, WM2, on Pushing Reset: Letting Work Become More Enjoyable, Rewarding! (25d.423Psd,430Wed 8:33 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! More layout of post, aiming for WGA-B posts soon... (d25.422Stz,429Tue 9:37-38,50 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to the CTC Foundational articles with the inserted one mentioned previously, helping see the place of government in relation to God and His Kingdom. Also, I've posted one of the Persistent Posts, a CTC on Proper View of Law(l). (25/421Hvn,428Mon 3:27,53; 7:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I know this is blogpost 3, but I'm in the process of preparing to post all 3, and I wanted this third one posted first, so that it appears third in the list after the other two are up. I went ahead and included a few posts on this page, including another (7) Proverbs B (ch 11-20), from chapter 10, verses 28-32, the conclusion of that chapter. Also, the CTC Foundational articles I've been intending to post for a while now, but which were on a previous post from last year, I'm also posting. The CTC Corner (Come to Consensus Corner) Startup post is included, as well as now four of the first 5 articles/policies. There is another newer article I've planned to include among this grouping, believing it's more helpful now to underscore some important things relating God's interest and much-needed blessing on good government, to maintain civilized society, often taken for granted. Up to 4 CTC articles!

(25/416Fan,423Wed, 12:10 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Had a technical issue I believe is now resolved, which slowed me some on the blog while at the same time I was focused on accomplishing other things and still am--I do apologize for the blog delay. I'm working on the new full set of blogposts 1-3, segments 1-9 as previous. All three blogposts are to have a similar format to this one, despite the varying subject matter. I did update the first two articles under Christianity, and am about to add something else to the second article, The Basics. (25/410Min,417Thu, 10:10 am; 5:30 pm EDT) Hello, wishing you well again! Added to the 10 Points with explanation of the change from LGBTQ+ to simply LGTQ, still to be addressing this important issue. It may actually be that simply 3 letters will suffice for the abbreviation, as in GTQ, as Gay had come to represent both male and female gender conditions. This could also possibly be TGQ. (25/408Fwn,p415Tue, 8:20 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added new Proverbs A segment of chapter 3, PR-A(3.4), verses 19-26. I apologize that getting the entire blog up as usual, but with the updated format, is taking time. Still looking to God, asking for prayers, for things to be right, to take place as they should, for everyone's benefit! (25/405Hvn,p412Sat, 7:18-19 pm EDT) Hello! Memorial night, like true Passover, but of Christ's death, the literal and the figurative. You might reflect on the meaning, and read a chapter, perhaps Luke 22, or more, considering lessons. Love of God and His wonderful power and purpose toward mankind, a beautiful and peace-loving world, is made possible! Have faith in the Son, the ransom for forgiveness of sins, and aim for the target of righteousness in your decisions, to honor God and reflect divine wisdom in how you do things, contributing to His will! {Recall that truly anointed ones are to be in attendance to partake, and all were to commemorate on Passover night, honoring God and Christ. Paul also said "As often as" you do this, which can indicate allowance for another month's observance, at least occasionally. It could well be that as anointed ones all reached their new heavenly position, in the secondary application, that the commemoration could consistently involve and recognize a figurative or emblematic eating of spiritual bread, or life-sustaining instruction, as well as drinking of spiritual wine, recognizing Christ's sacrifice and also the rejoicing that wine scripturally signifies, true happiness being made possible with proper understanding and application of God's word and Christianity.} (25/404Wdn,p411Fri, 11:37-38,41 am; 3:27,35 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well again.
