2020 ELECTION--FINDING TRUTH
Have you ever tried to solve a mystery, and you receive several clues, what you might think should be enough to figure it out, but things still don't add up? Until this one important clue is discovered, and then it all starts to make sense and come together? Such is the case with the current plight of our nation and it relates to the 2020 Election for President of the United States. While Donald Trump still claims to have won the election, there was another party, if you will, a candidate that reached the public by educating, revealing policies, and responding to current events all via a website, findlifeandsee.com, largely the blog. You see, my campaign was hindered by a few knowing of me, considering me a political rival. But the law allows for my situation, and basically says to do what you can do. So through my website, while promoting peace, and reasoned examination of several key issues, many came to see that I was rightly qualified to address our nation's needs, respond to challenges, strengthen our economy and solve problems in agreement with divine wisdom that honors God in the way most of our founding fathers did, that started this nation on a course of greatness. This led to receiving a large number of mail-in votes, that through some sort of technological trick, managed to disappear before the eyes of those covering the election results. Because I got left off the general election ballot, without being truly given an opportunity to confirm my qualification, those were the only votes I was able to receive as an Independent candidate, still rightly able to receive votes alongside then President Donald Trump and Joe Biden--but still enough to win the election! I became "Independent" legally without my initial realization, as I had begun my campaign as Republican, but then switched to Democrat with concerns over then-party integrity. By law, this made me an Independent candidate, as was George Washington. Since some voters still considered me Republican, and others Democratic, I believe it was on this basis that my votes got redistributed between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
I appeal to all lovers of truth, justice, and Election Integrity, to consider this matter and see that I indeed remained a qualified candidate, and that this redistribution was not as acceptable as it somehow may have been made to appear. God prepared me for this role, with what I've learned and experienced over some 50 years, to handle, along with peace-loving, wise, and talented followers, issues that can bring about many improvements, the peaceful conditions for which human hearts long, and even the "more perfect union" that our founding fathers intended.

ELECTION TRUTH OF 2020. Have you ever nearly finished a puzzle, maybe a picturesque scene, only to find one important piece is missing? You begin a search for the missing piece, do you not? This is quite the case with the Presidential election of 2020. Not only was there another qualified candidate, one that had become an Independent candidate, qualified to receive votes by mail-in voting and qualified to be on the General election ballot, alongside Joe Biden and Donald Trump, but this one did indeed receive a significant number of votes, enough to change the outcome of the Presidential Election. Therefore, the reason for all those election fraud lawsuits was indeed not just Donald Trump trying to finagle a few more votes to declare victory--the number of cases actually reached One Million--the limit imposed by law, under the presumption that if such a number was reached, there would be legitimate reason to investigate further into the entire election, to look more carefully at the election process and results, to determine whether any decisions were made that could prevent the true outcome from being realized. Due to interference, I had to run my campaign largely out of the spotlight, but was lawful, and public via my website, findlifeandsee.com, nonetheless. Recently, former Vice President Mike Pence spoke publicly, before reporters, and speaking in the context of Donald Trump's claim that he could have overturned the election results (of course, to his own favor), Mike made this statement: "Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election..." I believe this statement was made for two reasons. One, his intentions were to be fair, and not win the presidency for Donald Trump underhandedly. But secondly, I know that a decision was indeed made by someone, to give away my election votes--most likely between the two frontrunner candidates. A decidedly large number of votes did come in at the tail end of the election counting, as mail-in votes were tabulated, without any mention of my name, running as Joshua M. Campbell-Elanemy--having become an Independent candidate qualified to be elected by the people, under God, as President of the United States. R03.162

PROVERBS COMMENTARY
Proverbs 7
The remaining verses of the entire chapter, verses 6-27, involve somewhat of a story, a lesson against getting seduced into a course of immorality. Not only can sexual immorality be destructive physically, retracting diseases, even those deadly, but it is also spiritually damaging, not only to our relationship with God, our loving Father, but also to our relationships with others, among other things contributing to becoming disloyal in our dealings with others. How much better to wait and pray for God's blessing to find that person you can enjoy spending a lifetime with, becoming truly loyal to that one, as you both maintain or gain loyalty to God. This can begin with God's blessing sooner than many may yet realize, with a real engagement that permits a long-distance relationship, getting to know the other person--intimate from a distance, and working toward a beautiful marriage, but looking forward to the more direct intimacy meant for the marriage bond. What happiness this brings, in harmony with the arrangement of God! As expressed in Hebrews 13:4, "Let marriage be honorable among all". How loyal marriages and families have contributed to the happiness of communities and nations! Let's look at Proverbs 7:6-12:
"6 From the window of my house, Through my lattice, I looked down, 7 And as I observed the naive ones, I discerned among the youths a young man lacking good sense. 8 He passed along the street near her corner, And he marched in the direction of her house 9 In the twilight, in the evening, At the approach of night and darkness. 10 Then I saw a woman meet him, Dressed like a prostitute, with a cunning heart. 11 She is loud and defiant. She never stays at home. 12 One moment she is outside, next she is in the public squares, She lurks near every corner."
Prove 7:6-7 The loving father of Proverbs notices the "naive ones." Such ones are lacking wisdom, needing shrewdness, or foresighted prudence, to look ahead at the consequences of right and wrong decisions. They also need to comprehend God's will, and the discipline that prompts good judgment, gaining discernment, to further appreciate the difference between right and wrong, truth and falsehood, etc. The particular one he observed was lacking "good sense" [lit., "heart"], or good, pure, upright motive. May we strive for good motives first, to honor and obey God fully, with good judgment and discernment, knowing right from wrong and acting accordingly, that we may properly apply any understanding we may then gain in a useful, loving, and productively wise way, and thereby not putting the proverbial "cart before the horse."
"8 He passed along the street near her corner, And he marched in the direction of her house 9 In the twilight, in the evening, At the approach of night and darkness."
Prove 7:8-9 This one evidently knows about this woman, having meditated on wrong desire, going in the direction of her house. He has seen her before, and is falling prey to the snare of her attempts to seduce one away from God's law, away from God's blessing and true happiness.
"10 Then I saw a woman meet him, Dressed like a prostitute, with a cunning heart. 11 She is loud and defiant. She never stays at home. 12 One moment she is outside, next she is in the public squares, She lurks near every corner."
Prove 7:10-12 Here the woman is described. It is not mentioned yet, but she is already married. She has a "cunning" heart, seductive, deceptive, tricky. She is loud and defiant, attributes opposite those of a loving, humble, respectful wife. As highlighted above, such sin is destructive to the spirit that helps families to thrive before God. May we rather treasure, not just physical beauty or appearances, but the genuine godly qualities that make true happiness possible--including honesty, sincerity, purity before God, with humility and integrity to Him and His law. All of this makes genuine loyal love possible, with a lovely romantic attachment, between two people who seek and honor marriage as God's arrangement for a lasting relationship between a man and woman. Thus, may true marriage once again become and remain the order of the day, promoting happiness among families, communities, and entire nations.

Proverbs 7:13-16:
"13 She grabs hold of him and gives him a kiss; With a bold face, she says to him: 14 “I had to offer communion sacrifices. Today I paid my vows. 15 That is why I came out to meet you, To look for you, and I found you! 16 I have spread fine covers upon my bed, Colorful linen from Egypt."
(Pro07:13) While her husband is away on a journey, this unfaithful woman has immorality on her mind. Not only can such activity cost us everlasting life with a loyal marriage partner, but it can have devastating effects now on our spirituality and our relationships with others. (1COri 6:9-11). There are those who would have us believe that such a practice is not harmful. God, however, forbids it for good reason! Rather, it causes us to lose our sense of loyalty and faithfulness to God and others. It leads us astray from God's righteous standards, which promote true happiness and peace among people. Jehovoe once told his prophet Hosea of Israel, at Hosea 1:2, that "by prostitution (or, "immorality; promiscuity") the land has turned completely away from following Jehovoe (God)." How that hurt Jehovoe--what a calamity! At that time God would use such prophets to teach important lessons to His people, to help them understand their wrong ways and repent.
"14 “I had to offer communion sacrifices. Today I paid my vows. 15 That is why I came out to meet you, To look for you, and I found you!"
(Pro07:14-15) This woman wants to believe that offering a few sacrifices to God is enough to make up for her serious sin, her serious lack of integrity to God. This is not the case. We must seek loyalty to God, and only in the case of sincere repentance, with a turning around to serve God faithfully might forgiveness be extended in God's mercy. Still, there are consequences to sin, especially serious sin. Even God's loved servant King David suffered many family troubles for his serious sins. May we not take God's loving warnings for granted, but aim to stay away from sin, and far away from the most serious transgressions, or violations.
"16 I have spread fine covers upon my bed, Colorful linen from Egypt."
(Pro07:16) This woman clearly has meditated on her immoral desire, preparing her bed for such activity while her husband is away. How she tries to entice this young man into a disobedient course bringing harm to their spiritual lives. Is that true love? To engage someone in a practice that threatens your and that one's future of everlasting life with a loyal marriage partner? How much better to treasure God's marriage arrangement, and trust in Him to find that person that you can enjoy a lovely lifetime with together, looking forward to the day of your marriage for satisfying appropriate sexual desire. Such is the privilege of the marriage bond, with a willingness to love God first, and then this person like no other, as "one flesh." (GENes 2:24). This is a treasured bond of loyal love, loving one another as you help each other be loyal to the God of love, Jehovoe, who is the Ultimate Giver of "every good and perfect gift." (JAMes 1:17).

Proverbs 7:10, 17-21:
"10 Then I saw a woman meet him, Dressed like a prostitute, with a cunning heart...17 I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us drink our fill of love until the morning; Let us enjoy passionate love together, 19 For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a distant journey. 20 He took a bag of money with him, And he will not return until the day of the full moon.” 21 She misleads him with great persuasiveness. She seduces him with smooth speech."
Prove 7:10 Here we see this woman "dressed like a prostitute, with a cunning heart." "Cunning" refers to deceptive craftiness and trickery. Some men have also stooped to such deception, with similar schemes. Recall that God realizes the harm caused and the superiority of a proper engagement and marriage, wanting all to realize this and seriously repent from wrong thinking (Acts 3:19). With God's blessing, a beautiful long-distance relationship can blossom during a real engagement--likely leading to delightful marriage! The wrong thinking starts in the mind, but could reach the heart, leading to sin. All who have fallen to such sin in the past should be aware that "God is greater than our hearts and knows all things." (1JOhn 3:20). There are somewhat hidden factors, which God realizes and can help ones to overcome. How urgent to comprehend the right view of such things, looking to correct one's thinking and avert the often unseen repercussions. The woman in the proverb is already married, and should be a faithful wife to her husband, who evidently works hard to provide for her.
Prove 7:17-18 The woman sprinkles her bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. Myrrh is esteemed for its fragrance, and commonly used for this purpose. It might be noted, however, that the perfumes of myrrh and cinnamon were significant ingredients in the "holy anointing oil" that God directed to be mixed for holy use, at Exodus 30:23-25. In so doing, perhaps the woman tries to whitewash her behavior, fooling herself and this young man into believing that somehow what they are doing could be approved by God. Back in verse 14 she said: "I had to offer communion sacrifices. Today I paid my vows." She says so as if by doing these things she is now all right with God. With no regard for God or her marriage partner, she now invites this young man to "enjoy passionate love together." This move threatens both of their hopes of eternal life with loyal marriage partners--is this true love?
Prove 7:19-20 She convinces this young man that their actions will not be found out--that there is no chance that the husband will return to catch them in the act. She gives no thought to God, as if He doesn't see or care what is going on, as if He is not hurt by their unfaithful and disloyal actions.
Prove 7:21 Her "smooth" persuasive words cause this naïve young man to be misled and seduced. He gives no thought to the consequences of their behavior. If only he would trust God and prepare himself for a real marriage, trusting God to help him find a loyal partner, to satisfy any such desires with a lovely, trustworthy marriage partner! Too often people selfishly rush ahead of God, rather than realizing God has our best and lasting happiness at heart by His laws and standards. May we not take God's instructions for granted, and safeguard true loyalty in our relationships with God and others, treasuring purity of heart, true wisdom and love before God, finding the true happiness that God intends for us to enjoy forever!

"7 And as I observed the naive ones, I discerned among the youths a young man lacking good sense. 8 He passed along the street near her corner, And he marched in the direction of her house 9 In the twilight, in the evening, At the approach of night and darkness. 10 Then I saw a woman meet him, Dressed like a prostitute, with a cunning heart... 21 She misleads him with great persuasiveness. She seduces him with smooth speech. 22 Suddenly he goes after her, like a bull to the slaughter, Like a fool to be punished in the stocks, 23 Until an arrow pierces his liver; Like a bird rushing into a trap, he does not know that it will cost him his life."
Prove 7:7-10 The verse calls the young man "naïve" and one "lacking good sense." He is oblivious, unaware, of the serious consequences of his dwelling on and succumbing to immoral desires. This is in direct contrast to having wise shrewdness, or prudence, able to see the terrible consequences and develop hatred for the wrong. Wrong desire may occasionally confront anyone, whether from our own mind or from our association, including entertainment sources. But how unwise to dwell on the desire we know to be wrong! This has been illustrated by a bird's landing on someone's head, like an immoral desire. What do we do about it? Wouldn't we quickly shoo it away? We wouldn't let the bird remain and build a nest on our head, would we? So it should be with wrong thoughts entering our mind. Fight it with good reasoning on the matter, thinking of the right way to view things from God's perspective, after the example of Jesus. Thus shoo away the wrong thoughts, and switch the station to something good and upbuilding. Unfortunately, the young man of Proverbs 7 acted on his wrong desires, marching "in the direction of her house," putting himself in a compromising situation, exposing himself to temptation that could lead to disaster.
"21 She misleads him with great persuasiveness. She seduces him with smooth speech."
Prove 7:21 The woman immorally uses "smooth speech" and actions with "great persuasiveness." Verse 10 informs us she has a "cunning heart." Thus she proves very deceptive, claiming she has pleased God while violating His standards, and threatening the eternal life and happiness of herself and this young man. May we be reminded to ponder the good things we learn about God's ways, appreciating the wisdom and benefits of doing things the right way, that we may truly love Jehovoe and "hate what is bad." (PSalm 97:10). Pondering God's ways, coupled with prayer, will help the right thoughts to sink deep into our hearts, where it will affect both our speech and actions.
"22 Suddenly he goes after her, like a bull to the slaughter, Like a fool to be punished in the stocks, 23 Until an arrow pierces his liver; Like a bird rushing into a trap, he does not know that it will cost him his life."
Prove 7:22-23 Since the young man had unwisely pondered wrong desires, her immoral persuasiveness overcomes his "thinking ability", leading him into disastrous conduct with this married woman. He didn't even stop to consider how unwise and troublesome this conduct may be. How would her husband feel once he finds out about this young man's interference with the wife? He is "like a fool to be punished in the stocks," as such conduct usually becomes exposed and known publicly, bringing disgrace. Further, sometimes there are hidden dangers to wrong conduct, that God understands and gives Him reason to lovingly warn us against the sin. This young man didn't realize the effect on his "liver," causing disease that could end his life in untimely death, like many others who have come to "fall down slain." (verse 26). Recall that God knows what is best, such as a real engagement, developing a long-distance relationship with someone you believe would make a fine marriage partner, getting to know this one, gaining treasures from God's wise word, learning to support one another, likely through ups and downs, and moving toward a lovely marriage as true partners. Just as important is the spiritual impact of ignoring God's way, corrupting our chaste thinking toward others, as God is preparing us for life in a clean environment spiritually on Earth, with all able to have loyal marriage partners and enjoy pure dealings with true friends worldwide, delighting in God's righteousness. May we ponder the blessings of God's loving purpose toward humans, moving us to be loyally obedient to God and Jesus' teachings and instruction.

Proverbs 7:24-27:
"And now, my sons, listen to me; Pay attention to the words I speak. 25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways. Do not stray onto her paths, 26 For she has caused many to fall down slain, And those she has killed are numerous. 27 Her house leads to the Grave; It goes down to the inner chambers of death."
Here we find encouragement to avoid the trappings of immorality, including by groups promoting serious violations of godly integrity:
Earlier, God reveals the “great persuasiveness” a woman of immoral thinking may use to mislead a young man into sin. Sexual immorality is not true love, causing participants to stray from God’s loving, loyal, ways of faithfulness for an eternity of happiness with a loyal marriage partner. Therefore, God’s words to young men and women are vital to protect themselves from such seduction and immoral thinking. If we do not accept God’s instructions carefully, we could be painfully deceived into a wrong path. Jesus said “Therefore, pay attention to how you listen...” (LUKe 8:18).
"25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways. Do not stray onto her paths,"
Prove 7:25 We must protect our figurative heart, including our motives for acting, from corruption. Proverbs 4:23 says “23 Above all the things that you guard, safeguard your heart, For out of it are the sources of life.” Ideas may be presented to the mind, but we choose whether we stop up our ear, let it go in one ear and out the other, or we ponder, or meditate, upon the notion, for or against, which could allow it to penetrate our heart, stirring desire, and eventually prompting action. Thus we need to develop the discernment or judgement necessary to distinguish truth from falsehood, right from wrong, etc. to judge what we allow ourselves to ponder. It has been said that a bird might land on a person’s head, but what does he do about it—does he quickly shoo it away, or does he foolishly allow it to build a nest on his head?!? Shoo away wrong thoughts presented to us by others, and refuse to ponder wrong desires, as we learn to recognize and distinguish them. Rather, choose to ponder right thinking, protecting our hearts from leading us into sin. In fact, when presented with a wrong notion, the best thing to do may be to replace that wrong idea with good reasons for rejecting it as harmful or leading to disaster.
"26 For she has caused many to fall down slain, And those she has killed are numerous. 27 Her house leads to the Grave; It goes down to the inner chambers of death.”
Prove 7:26-27 Such immorality can lead to spiritual death, great damage to our relationships with God and others. Without recovery, this is a sin that can bar one from God’s Kingdom and eternal life with a loyal marriage partner. Does this really make sense? (1COri 6:9-11). For young ones, they should spend time preparing for adult, married life, learning to do the things that will please their spouse and contribute to the stability and happiness of their newfound family. Look to God in prayer to help you find the marriage partner that will truly make you happy—you needn’t worry excessively over missing the right one. Jehovoe God has brought countless married couples together for a delightful relationship, both loving Him and each other. Cultivate first your relationship with God, learning to think wisely and make good, right decisions each day. Learn the personality of a true Christian, growing in your fondness for spiritual things, that will be one source of delightful conversation for an eternity.
