________(1) WGA, Weekly Golden Apples & Win-it Minute
This segment developed as a way to address current events in the news or look at timely issues from God's perspective, seeing wisdom from God at work applied to the issue at hand, which enables problems to be solved and hope to remain for God's Kingdom blessings. Applying God's word, and not just human wisdom, is a vital part of the key to having His approval and receiving His blessing, as we accept His incoming Kingdom. As one version (NLT) translates Proverbs 25:11, "Timely advice is lovely, like golden apples in a silver basket." (Psalm 127:1,2-5; Proverbs 10:22).
2/1/2022 PUBLIC STATEMENT:
I've gotten word that there be some false rumors, so I'd like to clarify. The primary articles on my website, under Christianity and Misc, are not cut and paste from others sources--they are entirely authored by me, with occasional research. They are based on things received by God's spirit, such as much good instruction and studious investigation of God's word over 35 years and more, among many other things, for which I ultimately credit the true God and His Son, but also many dear and supportive people.
2/3/2022 PUBLIC STATEMENT:
I wish to add a little further to my 2/1/2022 Public Statement. I've come to understand that a certain M. Johnson came upon my website, evidently in a form that had been corrupted by someone else previously, and began claiming my authored work for himself. Likely, he made some corrections to a corrupted version of my site, and believed this gave him rights to my material. My work, begun late 2018, has been copyrighted from it's inception, and I've not given anyone permission to change my authored material and call it their own. I've spent much time and effort offering such wisdom for the loving benefit of mankind, and it was after a prayer that no one use my instruction as a basis for hindering my own place before God in His Kingdom, as He has assigned me, before the world and the nation of the United States, for which I qualified as an Independent candidate in the Presidential election of 2020, the true results of which having yet to be made public, after reaching 1 million election fraud cases, the limit imposed by International law.

True Wisdom. Far easier to say than to acquire. But worth the effort? You bet! Most have obtained a degree of divine wisdom, such as God gave Solomon, and which Jesus Christ embodied, adhering fully to God's law. A vital aspect is "understanding," to put the pieces of the puzzle together, even as regards human nature, to deal well and peaceably with one another, helping to solve thorny problems, the right way. In the days to come, let's put some of these pieces together, and understand more completely the true treasures that divine wisdom holds out for all of us.

Distinguishing. The previous installment highlighted an important aspect of divine wisdom, that of understanding--putting the pieces together, esp. of human nature, seeking peaceful relations. Also essential and related is discernment--the ability to distinguish true from false, good from bad, right from wrong, and so on. How would you rate yourself, in such areas of judgement? Can you improve? I hope, as humans are designed, not to rely on ourselves to learn to see things straight, but to look above, and appreciate divine assistance to make better decisions in day-to-day life. We can be grateful that God has provided a source of such trustworthy guidance. More next time.

Godly Trust. Previously, considering divine wisdom, I spoke of trustworthy guidance that God makes available to us. One serious misunderstanding involves the meaning of the term "faith." Some have been taught that it is blind--how untrue! The faith that Jesus and others recommended demands evidence, and makes true understanding possible. When you see the effects of the wind on a tree full of leaves, you have evidence of what we do not see--the wind! Hebrews 11 defines faith as "being sure of what we hope for...being certain of what we do not see." In the Bible, we find abundant proof of God's power and love for the human family. As we investigate, we can grow in faith, in God and the success we can find by applying divine counsel.

Reference 02-164
Trusting. Previously, we considered the real meaning of the term "faith"--based on proof, trusting, or accepting truths that we cannot visibly see. The existence and love of God is one example. Proof is all around us, in the design of humans and God's other created works as found and seen throughout the earth! Human inventors, designers, and engineers are usually credited with their designs, which often benefit society in meaningful ways--what about God, and the multitudinous foods, creatures, land forms, and materials, not only making life possible on this planet, but even magnificently enjoyable! Let's give credit where credit is due.

Reference 02-165
Thankful Trust. Previously, we've considered the meaning of the term "faith." Understanding the meaning fully goes a long way toward progressing in your own spirit--in your mind and heart within and relating to others. The true meaning would not be complete without emphasizing both the ideas of trust and gratitude. Just as a happy child usually has developed great trust in hisr parents, so we should develop faith, or thankful trust, in our loving God and Father above, who has our best interests at heart! God's word the Bible and His wise law, embodied in Jesus Christ, make clear His loving interest in the human family as a whole, and in each member within.

Reference 02-166
Godly Trust & Wisdom. Let's reflect on a few recent lessons from this series. You may recall that two vital precursors to developing true wisdom are understanding and discernment. With God-given understanding, we put the pieces of the puzzle together, as regards God's loving will for mankind, which includes grasping human nature, to deal well and peaceably with others. Also, discernment enables distinguishing between things, like true & false, good & bad, right & wrong, and so on. As we grow in faith, or thankful trust, in God, by contemplating the evidence all around us by His marvelous design of things, we can benefit from His trustworthy guidance in life, which makes possible genuine peace, contentment, and even love among mankind.

Greater Peace. Hopefully, you've at least heard the summary of the week's material considering wisdom and faith. If not, you may find it on Spotify searching "flasep." How else might we apply this information? Perhaps we've gained greater respect for God and the wisdom or everyday guidance that His word inspires. I've defined faith as a "thankful trust." God's promises inspire confidence in Him, and rightly so. We can say He wants us to have a "tank-ful of trust" in Him, not doubting, but expecting good from our best efforts to know and please Him. In the days ahead, let's seek greater peace with God and others, while we consider more wisdom leading to successful living.

Win-it Minute
A daily short segment promoting divine wisdom and love for true success.
Primary Aim. As valuable as true wisdom is, it's not the most important quality we need to seek. Having it actually makes possible a greater expression of true Christian love. When asked about the greatest command of God's law, Jesus responded with two: You must love Jeho'voe your God with your whole heart, soul (life), mind and strength, and your neighbor as yourself. This says a lot--returning God's love is foremost, and to love your neighbor, we need to practice caring for oneself--necessary to love your neighbor as yourself. More on this quality of love and it's relation to wisdom next time. Ref. 02.200.
(Tuesday, Feb 15/22)
Win-it Minute
Aim Higher. Previously we considered the higher aim of true Christian love, for both God and neighbor. The more we come to appreciate God's tremendous love for all, including you and I, we are moved to show kindness to others as coming from Him, more than from ourselves. He, after all, is the One ultimately instructing us in the way of true unselfish love, with all it's rewards. As we gain wisdom, we understand more how to help others (and ourselves) long-term, which often brings both an immediate smile and a joyful outlook. We may plead to God to understand His love and use wisom He grants us aright to become better members of the human family. More next time. Ref. 02-201
(Wed Feb 16/23)
Win-it Minute
Easy as Pie?
Previously, we considered the relationship between wisdom and love, a higher aim. This matter of genuine love--is it automatic, or easy as pie, so to speak? Well, even after it's prepared, a pie usually takes time to bake--it's not done in a few seconds, or even a minute. Whereas an unselfish motive and compassion is a good start, seeking to honor God with integrity to Him is also involved, based on divine wisdom, which takes time to learn and acquire. Why, Jesus' apostles had the best example and instruction for more than 3 years, and they were still arguing over who was the greatest among them. Yet they did eventually understand more fully, helping many to acquire this love themselves. More next time. Ref. 02-202
(Thu Feb 17/24)
Win-it Minute
Divine Instruction. Complete godly love should be an aim of every person, gradually improving with time and effort. For many purposes, 3.14 is good enough for the mathematical pi. But for some cases, you need greater precision--like 3.14159. Our love, with integrity to God and understanding of divine wisdom can grow and improve--be refined, and we can handle more and more situations in a way that pleases God and reflects His love properly. King David is one who learned to rely on God through many challenges, while seeking to please and honor Him. Lessons from his experiences, proverbial wisdom of his son Solomon, and teachings of Jesus and his apostles, can all help refine our love today. Let's review a few next time. Ref. 02-203.
(Fri Feb 25)
Win-it Minute
Review High Aims. We began the week considering wisdom as a precursor to love, a higher aim. Per Jesus' words, love for God is foremost, and caring for oneself vital to loving one's neighbor properly. Considering God's tremendous love, shown by His works and ways, moves us to want to honor Him by showing kindness to others, seeking their long-term good--understanding more as we gain greater wisdom from God. This is found and refined by giving careful attention to God's word the Bible. Tune in to Win-it Minute and my website findlifeandsee.com for great help in your journey with hope for Promised peace and happiness. Let's apply more of these lessons next time. Ref. 02-204.
(Sat Feb 26)
Win-it Minute
Primary Aim, Revisited. Let's apply lessons from the past week. Love for both God and neighbor we've seen is a higher, even primary aim. Unselfishness and compassion for others with a pure motive is a great start, but the gaining of wisdom directs our love properly. If we truly love someone, would we not speak honorably of them? This is the meaning of the term "praise," and very much a part of returning to God (Jehovoe) the tremendous love He has shown to us, within His human and angelic family. As we gain wisdom from God, may we both speak and act in ways that show appreciation for all His good gifts. Written with love, the Bible has moved multitudes to grow within. Let's look to God in our journey toward the genuine global peace that His word, viewed properly, inspires. Ref. 02-205.

Evidence. Recently, we've considered the noble aims of developing greater wisdom and love. The Bible is a resource. My article "The Divine Gift of God's Word" is available both on my website findlifeandsee.com and on Spotify, search "flasep". One line of evidence is in God's promises, such as to Abraham that his descendants would inherit what would become the land of Israel. Out of harsh slavery in Egypt millions came, along with many convinced Egyptians of God's loyalty and power, all experiencing the miracle of crossing the Red Sea, able to speak and write about it. They then conquered the land by God's power, God's servant Joshua summing it up: "You well know...that not one word out of all the good promises that God has spoken to you has failed. They have all come true for you." In our day, love is to subdue the world, in a peace-inspiring way! Ref. 02-220.
(Tue Mar 01)
Win-it Minute
One of the Keys to Happiness. Previously, we made reference to the Bible as inspired of God, leading us with love to a peaceful world. Notice what the first three verses of Psalm 119, or the 13th psalm of book 5, reveal that makes true happiness possible and realistic to find:
"Happy are those who are blameless in their way, who walk in the law of God. Happy are those who observe His reminders, who search for Him with all their heart. They practice no ungodliness, they walk in His ways."
Thus, happiness depends on always aiming to walk in God's law. WIth mercy for missteps, let's aim to know and keep it. Search findlifeandsee.com and Spotify for my commentary of this psalm, until other forms are available. Ref. 02-221.
(Wed Mar 02)
Win-it Minute
A Principle of Peace. Previously, we considered how keeping God's Law relates to our happiness. The Bible also contains divine truths that, when acknowledged and applied, aid our growth in wisdom. One is found at Proverbs 15:1: There we find insight that betters our dealings with others, helping resolve conflict in peace. Rather than escalating bitter words between two people, the verse says:
"A mild (or, gentle) answer turns away rage, But a harsh word stirs up anger."
WIth God-given self-control, we can learn to better choose our response to an angry word from someone, thinking about the results of our speech. Expressing ourselves in both an honest and a mild way can defuse a tense situation and help bring the peace we're all really looking for. Ref. 02-222.

In the News...
HOME-BUYING CONSIDERATIONS. I heard a recent news piece about single-woman home-buying on the rise. Many of you already know what I'm about to say--it has been my hope that this trend be going in the opposite direction. While this news might seem beneficial in some ways, and might even be considered as promoting a woman's prerogative, I am not objecting to every case of this, and do not wish anyone having recently done so to be criticized for it. Rather, I merely wish to promote the greatest happiness and welfare for all such women, realizing the potential for a good relationship leading to a wonderful marriage, to have a partner with which to shares life's ups and downs, or sometimes, under God's Kingdom, even ups and ups! Managing and taking care of a house, seeing to repairs, etc. is something I've recommended that a young man begin to do early on, in preparation for the marriage he seeks. The young woman, even high school age, on the other hand, could remain with parents, or if older, find another single woman who already has one, and share expenses with her, rather than putting out so much money for one's own furniture, etc. when that money could be saved for her future family, and avoid the trouble of having to figure out what to do when a good man with a home is found--what to do with two couches, two of all the other furniture and accessories that are almost necessary along with every home purchase. If you are one who has already recently made such a purchase, please consider putting greater effort into finding that man of your dreams, with God's help that very real man, that He wants you to find, perhaps one paying rent somewhere but already having a head start on the things necessary to turn a house into a home. I am putting up for this week's consideration the Come to Consensus article that made this recommendation under the theme, Marriage & Partnerships.

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.

One House-fire Solution!
An issue has come to light regarding those power-strips, making possible the connecting of several components to a single household electrical outlet. The issue is a serious one, involving electrical fire risk.
A typical home electrical outlet, which is sometimes called a receptacle, is in all actuality a duplex, which most realize that two receptacles are usually provided at each wall outlet. Indications are increasing that a power strip, not so much by it's individual design, but rather by it's very function, actually draws on nearly all the power of the entire outlet from the single receptacle plug. The point is this: Strange electrical things can take place when both a power strip and a lamp or other device of some sort are plugged into the same outlet together, potentially leading to a possible electrical fire catastrophe.
Therefore, when a power strip is in use, there should be no other device plugged in to the other receptacle in that same outlet--instead, any other device should be among those plugged into the power strip itself--the outlet in this case should be solely and entirely for supporting the power strip only. A dummy plug or child-safe plug should be placed in the other receptacle with a clear notice or message NOT TO BE REMOVED as long as the power strip is associated to that outlet.
A careful check should be performed in every home to determine whether an unsafe condition now exists, so as to correct any such condition. All of us doing so, and alerting loved ones, friends, and neighbors to this potentially hazardous condition, may dramatically reduce the tearful number of house-fires nationwide and abroad. Ref. 03-210
ALSO, If corrections are not made, and such a fire begins, it usually is sourced INSIDE THE WALL. Therefore, using fire extinguishers/etc. MAY NOT HELP, UNLESS a sledgehammer or something similar is used to get behind the wall to reach the source of the flame!

An Illustrious Name of God. Something wondrous has come to light. Many know that the personal name of Almighty God appears as the Tetragrammaton in the oldest manuscripts comprising the Bible. This name has largely been left out of Bible translations for centuries. Aside from mere superstition, we may now have a much larger reason as to why! Allow me to explain: The early copyists of the original Hebrew writings used consonants, leaving out the vowels. The true pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton became hidden, and largely replaced with the vowel marks of the term "Adonai" or LORD in later times. The name "Jehovah" came into common use in English, but now it has been found that an ending adjustment is all that's needed to solidify the true meaning of God's name as "He Who Causes to Become." The true ending is "oe" rather than "ah." Thus the true name of the Creator is JEHOVOE. Likewise, the short form, rather than "Jah" is really J-O-E, "Joe"--with a meaning: "God Increases." We cannot ignore these facts. Investigation into the writing of God's name in centuries past, on churches and elsewhere reveals some use of this form! With greater understanding and respect of Bible truth, even amid the establishment of God's Kingdom, now is perhaps a fitting time for this to become uncovered and well known. Ref. 03-220.

Free Will and Divine Intervention. Many have heard these terms, but the Bible helps us fit these and related concepts together as we contemplate God's loving purpose for mankind. First, did God design us to be robots, or people with freedom, like Him, to learn and make good choices in life, warming the hearts of one another? The Bible clearly states that "God is love," and as such wants us to love as He does. Thus we are not fated to fail or succeed--rather He instructs us to acquire knowledge and learn to tell true from false, good from bad, etc. and to choose accordingly. This ability to distinguish is called "discernment," but might be called "difftell," to tell the difference, for some to comprehend and benefit from this important aspect of wisdom.
However, what about things that sometimes happen in the world around us that appear to have been caused by God? At times, for instance, He seems to have protected someone's life miraculously, from tragedy. The Bible offers examples of God's intervention at times, but shows He doesn't always choose to do so. The ones saved often had prayed to God for His help. Thus we shouldn't assume that everything that happens in life is God's will--God doesn't purpose that people drive drunk or cause traffic deaths. There are other reasons for these things. Thus we should use knowledge to make decisions, rather than 'look for omens,' or signs from God in everyday events, as though God uses these to make decisions for us.
One confusion in English has to do with the question "Why?" Sometimes we are looking for a reason, and other times we want to know a purpose, for an action perhaps. You may have been late for a reason, but likely not for a purpose by God--He teaches us punctuality, after all. In this respect, the terms "reason" and "purpose" have different meanings. Thus the saying that "everything happens for a reason" is commonly misapplied--not everything happens is God's will--still we can investigate the reasons and make better decisions in the future. With God's word we can better "difftell" between right and wrong! Ref. 03-221.

of David:
Psalm 3
O Jeho'voe, why have my adversaries become so numerous?
Why are so many rising up against me?
2 Many are saying about me: “God will not save him.” (Selah)
3 But you, O Jehovoe, are a shield around me,
My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
4 I will call aloud to Jehovoe,
And he will answer me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
5 I will lie down and sleep; And I will wake up in safety,
For Jehovoe continues to support me.
6 I am not afraid of the tens of thousands
Lined up against me on every side.
7 Rise up, O Jehovoe! Save me, O my God!
For you will strike all my enemies on the jaw;
You will break the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongs to Jehovoe.
Your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
Notice where David turned for salvation from those opposing him--Jehovoe! Of course, with God's great love, so often we may find the source of opposition, even misunderstandings may be the cause. By looking to the God of truth, many times those once enemies have become genuine friends! Let us love God's word and it's power to work good in the lives of everyone!

There is hardly any better place in Scripture for assuring our hearts of God's compassionate mercy and love, than the 103rd psalm inspired by (King) David of ancient Israel.
Psalm 103:1-5
Let me praise (speak honorably of) Jehovoe; Let everything within me praise his holy name.
2 Let me praise Jehovoe; May I never forget all that he has done.
3 He forgives all your errors And heals all your ailments;
4 He reclaims your life from the pit And crowns you with his loyal love and mercy.
5 He satisfies you with good things all your life, So that your youth is renewed like that of an eagle.
:6-11
Jehovoe acts with uprightness and justice For all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, His deeds to the sons of Israel.
8 Jehovoe is merciful and compassionate, Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love.
9 He will not always find fault, Nor will he stay resentful forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor has he repaid us what our errors deserve.
11 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So great is his loyal love toward those who revere him.
:12-16
As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset, So far off from us he has put our transgressions.
13 As a father shows mercy to his sons, Jehovoe has shown mercy to those who revere him.
14 For he well knows how we are formed, Remembering that we are dust.
15 As for mortal man, his days are like those of grass; He blooms like a blossom of the field.
16 But when a wind blows, it is no more, As though it was never there.
:17-22
But the loyal love of Jehovoe is for all eternity Toward those who revere him, And his uprightness toward their children’s children,
18 Toward those who keep his covenant And those who are careful to observe his orders.
19 Jehovoe has firmly established his throne in the heavens; And his kingship rules over everything.
20 Praise (Speak honorably of) Jehovoe, all you his angels, mighty in power, Who carry out his word, obeying his voice.
21 Praise Jehovoe, all his armies, His ministers who do his will.
22 Praise Jehovoe, all his works, In all the places where he rules. Let my whole being praise Jehovoe!

Proverbs 15:15-17
"15 All the days of the afflicted one are bad, But the one with a cheerful heart has a continual feast. 16 Better is a little in the awe of Jeho'voe Than great wealth along with anxiety. 17 Better is a dish of vegetables where there is godlove Than a fattened bull where there is hatred."
COMBATING PESSIMISM. Prove 15:15 The "afflicted one" takes a negative, or pessimistic, view on life, is unhappy no matter what good comes his way. One with a "cheerful heart," on the other hand, sees and appreciates the good things in life, is often thankful to God for such gifts, and therefore "has a continual feast." Nowadays there may be emotional imbalances in some taking a negative view--correcting one's thinking can be helpful for many. Some may be overly critical of others or even themselves, perhaps even being unduly suspicious of others' motives. They may be having a hard time forgiving or overcoming their own past failings, and are viewing others in a similar way. We should remember that Jeho'voe "is good and ready to forgive." (Psalm 86:5). Also, Psalm 130:4-5 says "If errors were what you watch, O Joe, Then who, O Jehovoe, could stand? 4 For with you there is true forgiveness, So that you may be held in awe." May such ones continue trusting in God's love and mercy, gaining in the awe of God, hating badness, looking to Jehovoe for His support and blessing as regards their everlasting welfare and happiness, and that of others.
16 Better is a little in the awe of Jeho'voe Than great wealth along with anxiety. 17 Better is a dish of vegetables where there is godlove Than a fattened bull where there is hatred."
SAFEGUARD PEACE AND LOVE WITH GODLY AWE. Prove 15:16-17 Great material wealth, or even great knowledge, can bring much anxiety, or stress, depending largely on one's reliance on God or failure to do so. We can pray to God for help to allay anxiety, relying on Him for His peace (Phili 4:6,7). It is possible to have money and wisdom and serve God faithfully, with due caution to continue relying on God, to serve Him faithfully. The proverb acknowledges the importance of cultivating godly fear--an awe of Him that moves us to seek never to displease Him--along with the spirit of contentment. Focusing too much on money or worshiping it, or even boasting of one's knowledge, may bring contention and hatred into our family--how important to maintain the right perspective, keeping such things in their place, and safeguard more important things, such as our love for one another! Let's find ways to safeguard the peace among all men, if possible, but especially among those willing to serve God faithfully, as in our family and among our friends. The Scriptures place a high value on safeguarding such peace among one another (Romans 12:18; Matt 5:23-24).

"18 A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, But one who is slow to anger calms a quarrel. 19 The way of the lazy one is like a hedge of thorns, But the path of the honest is like a level highway. 20 A wise son makes his father rejoice, But a flagrant man despises his mother. 21 Foolishness is a joy to one lacking good sense, But the man of discernment walks straight ahead. 22 Plans fail when there is no consultation, But 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! 24 The path of life leads upward to one with insight, To turn him away from the Grave below. 25 Jehovah will tear down the house of the haughty, But he will preserve the boundary of the widow."
CALM TENSIONS, SEEKING PEACE. PR 15:18 As James 1:19 says, "everyone must be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger." For the world to sustain peace in the future, we all must learn not to be "hot-tempered," but to treasure Christian mildness and slowness to anger, or patience. Christian mildness is a gentleness of spirit that should pervade our life throughout each day, affecting all we say and do. It is a gentle manner, that is sensitive to the ideas and feelings of others, not wanting to hurt them but rather help and heal. Anyone impatient and quick to anger threatens true peace among humans, 'stirring up strife.' We should learn to quickly recognize when we are beginning to be agitated by something--that is the time to act to think through the situation, seeking to fix the problem, find a solution, or see how to cope with it until we can. Try not to get to the point of angry words escalating tension with another dear person. However, serious sin committed against us may rightly cause hurt or angry feelings. God's word says, at Ephesians 4:26, "Be [agitated] but do not sin; do not let the sun set while you are still angry." We should resolve the matter in a God-approved way. Especially among true Christians, who are not seriously sinning against one another, we should be "forgiving one another freely even if anyone has a cause for complaint against another. Just as Jehovoe freely forgave you, you must also do the same. But besides all these things, clothe yourselves with godlove, for it is a perfect bond of union." With true love and patience, we can often 'calm a quarrel,' seeking true peace with others in harmony with God's laws and guidance for us. We should tend to patiently react to any temper of others with a gentle, calming response, thus defusing an otherwise unhelpful or harmful conversation. (Prove 15:1).
"19 The way of the lazy one is like a hedge of thorns, But the path of the upright is like a level highway."
BECOME DILIGENT, UPRIGHT. PR 15:19 A lazy person tends to focus on or imagine the difficulties and thorny problems in situations and does not want to get involved, thus excusing his inactivity. A diligent upright person, on the other hand, has learned how to cope with most problems, trusting God's help in good faith, while focusing on the rewards of accomplishment--to such ones the path is smooth, "like a level highway."
"20 A wise son makes his father rejoice, But a flagrant man despises his mother."
HELP YOUTHS GAIN UNDERSTANDING. PR 15:20 How important to seek to correct a child going morally astray, to help him or her become wise, as godly insight shows such a one is actually 'despising his own mother.' This one is resentful of his own mother's correction, no matter how loving it may be offered. May parents ensure their discipline is rendered with genuine love, in imitation of the way Christ corrected his disciples, offering illustrations and stories to teach important lessons. We can get to know Christ's teachings and share these with our children, helping them to understand the way of true Christianity. Still, the child needs to come to understand and appreciate such loving guidance and instruction. Helping him or her gain understanding in matters of life and spirituality will go a long way in helping him appreciate counsel. Proverbs 17:10 says "A rebuke makes a deeper impression on one having understanding than striking a flagrant person a hundred times."
"21 Foolishness is a joy to one lacking good sense, But the man of discernment walks straight ahead."
YOUTHS TO GAIN PRUDENCE, DISCERNMENT. PR 15:21 Foolishness in the Scriptures is clearly a negative trait, causing one to "go astray," even "die" for lack of discipline. (PRove 5:23). Remaining naïve will result in foolishness, and it also comes out in one who is impatient (Prove 14:18, 29). Thus young ones need to be taught to look ahead with foresighted prudence at the consequences of their speech and actions, and to act accordingly to steer away from badness, and its resulting troubles, problems, and grief. This would include the dire consequences of being impatient, running ahead of Jehovah rather than waiting on Him to provide for our needs and wants, or desires. We could impatiently let go of God's loyal love, leading to treachery and spiritual ruin. Let God satisfy us, as we are "content with the present things," until we reach our goals--for instance, a loyal Christian marriage partner. Foolishness is also here contrasted with discernment, to see true from false, and right from wrong. And with prudence, we're better able to choose what we believe more carefully. Proverbs 14:15 says "The naive person believes every word, But the shrewd one ponders each step." May we avoid merely believing everything strangers may say, but rather learn to examine their words, checking facts if necessary, to accept what is true, right, good and wise. Thus we may walk straight ahead, successfully.
"22 Plans fail when there is no consultation, But there is accomplishment through many advisers."
CONSULTING OTHERS.
PR 15:22 A wise person "listens and takes in more instruction." (Prove 1:5). Thus may we be humble, as truly wise persons are, considering others superior to us. They have gifts and talents we may not possess, and may have knowledge to share of which we do not know. May we consult especially with ones affected or impacted by our decisions, taking their points of view into consideration, benefitting from their advice.
"23 A man rejoices in giving the right answer, And a word spoken at the right time—how good it is!"
TIMELY ENCOURAGEMENT. PR 15:23 May we delight in words spoken "at the right time," and with joy to seek to give the right answer to one in genuine need or peril. This, of course, is one of the treasured benefits of growing in true divine wisdom and godlove. We become better able to lovingly share with others timely encouragement, giving them what they need and when they need it. May we continue to absorb divine instruction from our loving Father, Jehovoe, through His precious divine gift--God's word.
"24 The path of life leads upward to one with insight, To turn him away from the Grave below. 25 Jehovoe will tear down the house of the haughty, But he will preserve the boundary of the widow."
TREASURE GOD'S ELEVATED WAYS, HUMILITY. Prove 15:24-25 God's ways are elevated above mere human ideas and thinking. God told the wayward nation of Israel, at Isaiah 55:8-9: "“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, And your ways are not my ways,” declares Jehovoe. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So my ways are higher than your ways And my thoughts than your thoughts." May we benefit from God's elevated thinking as we learn to think as He does, and as Jesus did. Remember, Jesus once strongly corrected Peter for thinking, 'not God's thoughts, but those of men,' which threatened to stumble Jesus from his faithful course. (Matth 16:23). May we always let God's word trump mere human ideas, even if it means we may be 'proved a liar.' (Romans 3:4). This takes honesty and humility before God, to acknowledge a mistake, but will bring God's favor and blessing. Those arrogant, or haughty in spirit, refusing to humble themselves before God, and whose arrogance gravely threatens the fine spirit of others, should take a lesson before they suffer the loss of their "house," their good family name and reputation, or even by their egopride causing the spiritual downfall of their own family. On the other hand, Jehovoe looks out to support faithful widows, especially those serving God while lovingly waiting to be reunited with their dear husbands in the resurrection.

"26 Jeho'voe detests the schemes of the ungodly one, But pleasant sayings are pure to Him. 27 The one making dishonest profit brings trouble on his own household, But the one hating bribes will keep living. 28 The heart of the upright one meditates before answering, But the mouth of the ungodly blurts out bad things. 29 Jehovoe is far away from the ungodly, But he hears the prayer of the upright. 30 Bright (or, Enlightened) eyes make the heart rejoice; A good report invigorates the bones. 31 The one who listens to life-giving reproof Is at home among the wise. 32 Anyone refusing discipline despises his life, But whoever listens to reproof acquires understanding. 33 The awe of Jehovoe is a training in wisdom, And before glory there is humility."
HATE EVIL SCHEMES AS GOD DOES! PR15:26 The "ungodly" or corrupt one spends time plotting schemes out of selfishness, greed, or jealousy, for instance. Proverbs 24:8 says "Anyone who plots evil will be called a master schemer." How much better to spend time pondering pleasant and wise sayings! Such sayings are "pure" to Jehovoe God, and if from Him, "refined" and entirely good. Proverbs 30:5 says "Every saying of God is refined." By pondering what is good and upright, ones may develop heart appreciation for goodness, and learn to hate and turn away from what is bad, or evil.
"27 The one making dishonest profit brings trouble on his own household, But the one hating bribes will keep living."
MAKE A LIVING CONTRIBUTING TO GOD'S PURPOSE. PR15:27 Jehovoe rewards and blesses the upright, not those making "dishonest profit." Lacking God's blessing, and encouraging greed among even family members, such ones open themselves up for trouble on their own household, for instance, by jealous trouble-makers, wanting their "piece of the pie." Life may even be involved, as the contrasting statement says that the one hating unjust bribes "will keep living." We should therefore seek God's blessing on our life by making an honest living, seeking our means of maintenance in ways that are in harmony with God's laws and standards of truth, justice, and uprightness. Proverbs 10:22 says "It is the blessing of Jehovoe that makes one rich, And He adds no pain with it." And Psalm 127:1 says, in part, "Unless Jehovoe builds the house, It is in vain that its builders work hard on it..." Also, the importance of living and acting in accord with God's standards, in whatever we do, is emphasized by one of the first Proverbs beginning in chapter 10. Proverbs 10:2 says "The treasures gained by ungodliness will be of no benefit, But uprightness is what rescues from death." Therefore, choose to find your treasures the right way, in accord with God's laws and standards, giving you heartfelt reason to rejoice over your contributions to a peaceful, happy, and prosperous new world."
"28 The heart of the upright one meditates before answering, But the mouth of the corrupt blurts out bad things."
MAKE IT A HABIT TO THINK HOW TO ANSWER. PR15:28 Perhaps the lesson of this verse is summed up by the saying "Think before you speak." The upright ponder before answering someone, as they wish to say the right thing, in the right way, in a way their specific audience may comprehend and benefit from. The corrupt, on the other hand, may often have no such concerns, rather 'blurting out' what is bad. Such ones are usually prideful, being 'wise in their own eyes,' perhaps believing their every idea is great, worthy of speech. (PRove 3:7). Proverbs 18:2 says "A flagrant person takes no pleasure in understanding; He would rather disclose what is in his heart." Such ones should learn to be "quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger." (James 1:19).Thus we should become excellent listeners, and be cautious when we choose to speak, that what we say may be in line with God's loving will and word.
"29 Jehovoe is far away from the ungodly, But he hears the prayer of the upright."
SEEK CLOSENESS TO GOD. PR15:29 If such ungodly ones do not repent, Jehovoe is "far away" from them, but in contrast hears the intimate prayer of the upright. Who should not want to be close to the Grand Creator of the Universe? (Eccle 12:1). What a privilege! The ungodly instead have no appreciation for this privilege, choosing to be "close" to other selfish ones. May they investigate reasons to appreciate the Giver of Life and every breath, Jehovoe, and ponder His tremendous love and mercy, that they may come to have more heart appreciation for Him, and be moved to respond obediently to His loving correction and counsel. Psalm 103:2-5 says, for instance, to those determined to obey Him with integrity: "Let me praise Jehovoe; May I never forget all that he has done. 3 He forgives all your errors And heals all your ailments; 4 He reclaims your life from the pit And crowns you with his love and mercy. 5 He satisfies you with good things all your life, So that your youth is renewed like that of an eagle." (See all of Psalm 103).
"30 Bright (or, Enlightened) eyes make the heart rejoice; A good report invigorates the bones."
SEEK THE LIGHT OF TRUTH. PR15:30 Bright, or "enlightened" eyes, receiving light of truth from God, brings rejoicing to the heart. Psalm 97:11 says "Light has flashed up for the upright And rejoicing for those upright in heart." Of course, it is responding in action to the enlightenment we receive from God that brings true rejoicing, and upright ones will typically respond to beneficial knowledge with faithfulness, holding to God's standards. As 1Corinthians 13:6 says, godlove "rejoices with the truth." Thus a good report also "invigorates the bones," refreshing our spiritual core.
"31 The one who listens to life-giving reproof Is at home among the wise. 32 Anyone refusing discipline despises his life, But whoever listens to reproof acquires understanding."
TREASURE "LIFE-GIVING REPROOF."
PR15:31-32 Proverbs 12:15 says "The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, But the wise one accepts advice." May we aim to appreciate advice, even strong, but loving, discipline from others. Such correction is often given with much considerate forethought, even prayer. We need such discipline to remain squarely on the path of eternal life. Strong correction should add to our understanding of life, aiding us to continue walking in the fear of Jehovoe, hating what is bad. (Prove 8:13). However, such discipline must be given in love to be truly beneficial, after the example of Jesus' loving treatment of his "disciples." To refuse such correction would reveal a lack of appreciation for one's hopes of eternal life, as Proverbs 6:23 says "...the reproofs of discipline are the way to life."
"33 The fear of Jehovoe is a training in wisdom, And before glory there is humility."
HUMBLY SEEK TO PLEASE GOD. PR15:33 The healthy fear of displeasing God is shown to be the "beginning" of both divine knowledge and wisdom. (PRove 1:7; 9:10). Thus, this should be taught at a young age, helping youths to grasp the qualities of both understanding and discernment (PRove 2:1-5). Humility must also be treasured among genuine servants of God, truly considering others as superior to us, valuing their gifts and knowledge that even we may benefit from. How appropriate that one receiving just or due honor have this view of themselves in relation to others.

Proverbs 16:1-3
"1 A man prepares the thoughts of his heart, But the answer he gives is from Jehovoe. 2 All of a man’s ways seem right to him, But Jehovoe examines the motives. 3 Commit to Jehovoe whatever you do, And your plans will succeed."
DIVINE HELP, LEARNING TO SAY THE RIGHT THING. Prove 16:1: How do we answer someone who questions our faith or needs to hear the hope we have that they may have hope themselves? We should ponder such things, as we seek to find the right words that will touch the hearts of others. When we do so, we can look to Jehovoe to help us say the right thing when it's needed.
"2 All of a man’s ways seem right to him, But Jehovoe examines the motives."
SEEKING RIGHT MOTIVE. Prove 16:2: Men may believe they have it all figured out, but what is the motive behind each individual? The motive we should have is seeking the glory and honor of God, pleasing Him as a true Christian representative of Jehovoe. Like Jesus, we should not be seeking our own glory, but God's. John 7:18 says "Whoever speaks of his own originality is seeking his own glory; but whoever seeks the glory of the one who sent him, this one is true and there is no sinfulness in him." Thus Jesus, our exemplar, sought his Father's glory, and proved true to Him, with good motive.
"3 Commit to Jehovoe whatever you do, And your plans will succeed."
SUCCESSFULLY AIMING FOR THE RIGHT TARGET. Prove 16:3: As we plan our lives with Jehovoe's help in prayer, we can look to Him for success in our activities. Jehovah cares about our ideas and plans and wants to bless our efforts as we keep seeking first His Kingdom and uprightness (MaTth 6:33). This is a promise that God would supply our needs--such as food and clothing--if we would do this. But why not just seeking first "the Kingdom"--largely involving sacrifices we make in service to God, supporting Kingdom interests? Why also "His uprightness?" This involves keeping our integrity to God, seeking obedience to Him, not just to share our hope with others, but in all aspects of Christianity. Obedience to God is actually more important than any sacrifice we may offer. Such genuine obedience makes our clean sacrifices acceptable to God. Of course, God is not now requiring perfection, but He expects us to keep aiming for the target! We may occasionally miss, and God's grace and Christ's ransom can cover those misses. But we keep aiming right, accepting God's help to recover from a miss. Thus the definition of "sin"--missing the mark. Studying God's word, pondering to apply it--to live it--we may come surprisingly close to the obedient example Jesus set! This is true of anointed co-rulers with Christ, as well as "the whole world." As the apostle John wrote, at 1John 2:1-2 "I am writing you these things so that you may not commit a sin. And yet, if anyone does commit a sin, we have a helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, an upright one. 2 And he is a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins, yet not for ours only but also for the whole world’s."

"4 Jehovoe has made everything work for his purpose, Even the ungodly for the day of disaster. 5 Everyone proud in heart is detestable to Jehovoe. Be assured that he will not go unpunished. 6 By loyal love and faithfulness, error is atoned for, And by revering Jehovoe one turns away from bad. 7 When Jehovoe is pleased with a man’s ways, He causes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8 Better is a little with uprightness Than a large income without justice."
GIFT OF FREE WILL. Prove 16:4 We all have the gift of free will from God--he wants us to use that gift to His honor. For a discussion of free will, see the article "Heart Matters." God did not make us like robots, to force us into obedience, rather, He wants us to obey Him from the heart, out of love for Him and His ways. God is loyal and patient with mankind, desiring all to repent of all badness that promotes selfishness and sin, interfering with genuine peace and happiness. Ultimately each one must answer to Jehovoe for the path we choose, because selfishness and sin must be brought down in favor of God's loving rulership over man.
"5 Everyone proud in heart is detestable to Jehovoe. Be assured that he will not go unpunished."
OUR VIEW OF PEOPLE. Prove 16:5 This statement provides insight into those pursuing evil, their own pride is a powerful motivator for their evil course. They must humble themselves before Jehovoe, viewing Him and others as superior to them, finding willingness to listen to God's loving counsel and correction. God disciplines those whom he loves--they should learn to appreciate the love of God evident in their life--His many gifts he allows them to enjoy. Once again, a proud person will be called to account for his or her haughty attitude over others, a view of people that is imbalanced and unreasonable.
"6 By loyal love and faithfulness, error is atoned for, And by fearing Jehovoe one turns away from bad."
PURSUING LOYAL LOVE, FAITHFUL OBEDIENCE. Prove 16:6 Acts 3:19 says "Repent, therefore, and turn around, so as to get your sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come from Jehovoe himself." By pursuing loyal love and faithfulness to God, the error of even proud, evil men can be forgiven on the basis of Christ's ransom sacrifice. Regarding his selection of close followers, Jesus said "I came to call, not upright people, but sinners to repentance." Of course, Jesus was in no way finding fault with those who were already right-hearted, but perhaps those insincerely "faking it," while seeking glory from others--self-righteous ones. Jesus proved himself to be a merciful, compassionate shepherd of the sheep of humankind while on earth. Jehovoe God likewise has such mercy. (Isaiah 55:6-9)
"7 When Jehovoe is pleased with a man’s ways, He causes even his enemies to be at peace with him."
PLEASING THE GOD OF PEACE. Prove16:7 What a blessing to have Jehovoe intervene in such a way! Jehovoe's ways do promote genuine peace among people, especially when His right standards are respected. What a lesson that pleasing God promotes true peace. God's way is the way of eternity, the way of eternal peace and happiness!
"8 Better is a little with uprightness Than a large income without justice."
SEEK GOD'S APPROVAL AND BLESSING. Prove 16:8 We may only have a little, but if it's acquired with integrity to God and His standards, we can rest with a clean conscience, among the softest of pillows. Those pursuing greater wealth may be tempted to violate Christian standards in order to obtain it, or may have temptations daily in their work. Such ones should pray to Jehovoe, and endeavor to stand firm with integrity, appealing to managers or others to allow them to do their job the right way, without violations against God's ways. Some may need to find a lesser position or form of work in order to maintain their integrity. If so, God will certainly bless their efforts to please Him fully.

"9 A man may plot out his course in his heart, But it is Jehovoe who directs his steps. 10 Inspired decision should be on the lips of a king; He must never betray justice. 11 Honest balances and scales are from Jehovoe; All the weights in the bag are his doing. 12 Corrupt practices are detestable to kings, For the throne is firmly established by uprightness."
GOOD PLANS. PR 16:9 When we look to Jehovoe for guidance and support, He can 'direct our steps.' But notice we should still 'plot out our course in our heart,' giving Jehovoe efforts to bless. In fact, without plans we may be hasty. "The plans of the diligent surely lead to success, but all who are hasty surely head for poverty." So become a planner of your day, scheduling especially your more important activities.
"10 Inspired decision should be on the lips of a king; He must never betray justice."
TO ACT WITH JUSTICE. PR 16:10 God's word should be familiar to kings, that they may know how to act with justice, and do so consistently. The king on God's throne will especially uphold God's written word and it's divine principles and standards, as applying them can bring genuine success, with God's blessing. Of course, it is His honor that should primarily be sought, as the Author of His own Word and Universe.
"11 Honest balances and scales are from Jehovah; All the weights in the bag are his doing."
HONESTY, INTEGRITY. Prove 16:11 Clearly, Jehovoe cares about the laws and justice among mankind, He is interested in man's affairs. He loves honest integrity, as Paul expressed: "We trust we have an honest conscience, as we wish to conduct ourselves honestly in all things." Violations of honesty and integrity bring Jehovoe displeasure. Conversely, how pleased He is with our honest speech and conduct!
"12 Corrupt practices are detestable to kings, For the throne is firmly established by uprightness."
GOD'S DECISIONS. Prove 16:12 By seeking God's uprightness, a king may firmly establish his throne, while hating what God determines to be corrupt practices. What a world we can have when kings respect God's decisions and seek to live in harmony with His standards! Such authorities exist "in their relative positions by God" (Romans 13:1-7).

"13 Upright speech is a pleasure to kings. They love someone who speaks honestly. 14 The king’s rage is like a messenger of death, But the wise man appeases it. 15 In the light of the king’s face there is life; His favor is like a cloud of rain in spring. 16 How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To gain understanding is to be chosen over silver. 17 The highway of the upright avoids what is bad. Whoever safeguards his way preserves his life. 18 Egopride is before a crash, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. 19 Better to be humble among the meek Than to share the spoil of the haughty."
HONEST INTEGRITY, SPEECH. PR 16:13 Are you in the practice of keeping honest integrity? The upright one finding God's pleasure in Psalm 15 is "speaking the truth in his heart." (PSalm 15:2). If you are honest-hearted, it will be natural for you to 'speak honestly' before kings or anyone else. Also, as you continue to give attention to God's word and law, you will grow in understanding God's uprightness, or the course of integrity. You will thereby be learning, not just how to speak honestly, but also how to live and act in a right, fair, and honest way in practically every situation in life. Being honest doesn't mean we have to reveal every detail of private information to those who may do harm with it. We need to learn to be discerning. God's word cautions: "There is a time to keep quiet and a time to speak." (ECcle 3:7). Also, "In the abundance of words there does not fail to be transgression, but the one keeping his lips in check is acting discreetly." Still, God's new world is to be built on genuine trust, in God and in one another. So we are generally able to find trustworthy persons among the human family, and their numbers should continue to grow--look for them!!!
"14 The king’s rage is like a messenger of death, But the wise man appeases it."
A KING'S ANGER. PR 16:14 The wise man may appease the king's rage by understanding or discerning it's cause(s) and reasoning on the matter accordingly in a gentle manner. (Prove 15:1). Is such wisdom valuable to you?
"15 In the light of the king’s face there is life; His favor is like a cloud of rain in spring. 16 How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To gain understanding is to be chosen over silver."
A KING'S FAVOR. PR 16:15-16 Do you want to find favor in the eyes of a right-hearted king? Then choose wisdom, or spiritual wealth, over material wealth. The latter may still follow the former, but God's favor and blessing should be the motive. Why not prefer the favor of the Loving Creator of the Universe? Psalm 95:3-5 says: "For Jehovoe is a great God And a great King over all [other] gods, 4 He in whose hand are the inmost depths of the earth And to whom the peaks of the mountains belong; 5 To whom the sea, which he himself made, belongs And whose own hands formed the dry land itself." Jehovoe God is thus a source of tremendous wisdom, and love with which He formed humans. May we continue to look to Him and His word for guidance in life, seeking divine favor.
"17 The highway of the upright avoids what is bad. Whoever safeguards his way preserves his life."
SAFEGUARD LIFE.
PR 16:17 May we choose the path of the upright, which may be considered a "highway" accessible to multitudes. When we fear to displease our loving and powerful Creator, we come to hate what is bad, along with it's undesirable consequences. We can thus come to learn and discern the bad results of violating God's laws or standards, of disobeying Him. Choosing the right way throughout our day preserves our hope of eternal life, and with God's blessing may even spare us untimely death in a world still somewhat lacking in integrity.
"18 Egopride is before a crash, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. 19 Better to be humble among the meek Than to share the spoil of the haughty."
AVOID CALAMITY, TREASURING HUMILITY. PR 16:18-19 Another significant one of the Proverbs, egopride or haughtiness is the "sin that easily entangles us" that Paul mentioned when discussing true faith. (HEbre 12:1). The term "entangles" can refer to the garment worn in ancient times, which may become entangled when running, causing "stumbling." Such is the snare of egopride, causing a devastating fall. While the term "pride" can be used in a good way, as regards that feeling of accomplishment for another when we've perhaps shared in that one's journey or successes, there is also the false, or excessive pride that is self-exalting and exceedingly headstrong. We should love to maintain a humble view of ourselves, appreciating the value of others--their gifts and talents which may at times exceed our own. We should appreciate that any such that we may possess are gifts emanating from God himself, and should be used for His praise and glory--not our own. Any glory or "spoil" obtained by egopride or arrogance is only temporary, as Proverbs 10:2 says "The treasures gained by ungodliness will be of no benefit, but uprightness is what rescues from death."
____PC[8]
"20 The one who shows insight in a matter will find success, And happy is the one trusting in Jehovoe. 21 The wise in heart will be called understanding, And the one kind in speech adds persuasiveness. 22 Insight is a fountain of life to those possessing it, But fools are disciplined by their own foolishness. 23 The heart of the wise one gives his mouth insight And adds persuasiveness to his speech. 24 Pleasant sayings are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and a healing to the bones."
INSIGHT?
PR 16:20 What then is insight? It is a compassionate or empathetic comprehension of other's circumstances, a seeing beyond the obvious to understand what has led up to a situation or incident. This may be seen by comparing Proverbs 19:11, which says: "The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, and it is beauty on his part to overlook an offense." Compassionately grasping what caused or led up to "an offense" by another, we are better able to overlook it, or forgive the person for what was done. For example, at work a woman approaches another man for some information she needs, but he is rather rude to her. Rather than let it rattle her, she uses insight to ask him why he is speaking in such a way to her. He apologizes, and realizes that it was because he had recently bought a new dress shirt, and just spilled his coffee on it. With such insight into the situation, she readily forgives him, and he proceeds to kindly give her the information she needed. She thus found "success" (lit., "good") in the matter, and remained happy as she trusted in Jehovoe's way of handling matters.
"21 The wise in heart will be called understanding, And the one kind in speech adds persuasiveness."
WISDOM, KINDNESS. PR 16:21 The gaining of true wisdom is worth great effort, as it brings untold blessings and hope of life to it's owner. While it seeks the honor and glory of Jehovoe and holds to His elevated standards, still one blessing from God is His watchcare of one's reputation in the long-term. Right-hearted ones of mankind will see and appreciate the wisdom we work hard to cultivate. Still, as Christ foretold, we may have to endure negative talk or even persecution by some for a time, but our enduring it with kindness may even in time persuade some persecutors to the truth.
"22 Insight is a fountain of life to those possessing it, But fools are disciplined by their own foolishness."
INSIGHT!
PR 16:22 Here insight is contrasted with foolishness. Insight is a "fountain of life," as compassionately seeking to understand others makes it possible to teach them effectively, especially important with spiritual matters leading them to eternal life. A fool however may not often seek this, but if so it is typically for selfish purposes, as he or she is normally rather self-centered. The foolishness of his reactions may discipline him in some way, although he normally scoffs at advice from others, being "right in his own eyes." (Prove 12:15). The fool needs to appreciate kind counsel from loved ones, being helped to gain high regard for God with discernment, seeing good from bad, and foresighted prudence to see the consequences of good and bad decisions, to reject the bad along with its associated problems. God gives us His guidance to save us from grief and trouble, as He knows best how we can maintain true happiness!
"23 The heart of the wise one gives his mouth insight And adds persuasiveness to his speech."
EMPATHETIC SPEECH. PR 16:23 Recall that "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." (Matth 12:34b). A wise-hearted one with insight then, will compassionately speak with such insight, with kindness, and prove to be more persuasive, helping others gain more understanding of matters. Notice that a wise one sees the value of speaking with insight, or empathy. A truly wise heart is also loving--is not Jehovah the God who "IS love" (1John 4:8)? Therefore true love motivates all He does, and guided His acquisition of wisdom. So while humans need certain things in place to grow in love, and a complete love is a crowning goal to acheive, once the right motivation is obtained, an important aspect of true love, it may guide the acquisition of true knowledge, wisdom, and further empathetic understanding of others. May such ever be used to honor and please God, and be used by Him with pure motive to unselfishly care for others, and experience the rewards that only God can provide. Hebrews 11:6 says "Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please God well, for whoever approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him."
"24 Pleasant sayings are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and a healing to the bones."
"PLEASANT SAYINGS." PR 16:24 May we treasure "pleasant sayings," especially those coming from God's word, that are encouraging, upbuilding, and positive. True wisdom contributes to speech that is "healing," as Proverbs 12:18 says "...the tongue of the wise is a healing." Do you treasure sayings that have such a positive effect on you or others, strengthening them spiritually, to bolster their love for God and others, helping them find a happy course in life? We might search the Scriptures for such sayings, and come to know and love many of them, to help others and ourselves to stand firmly for God's uprightness, His right ways and standards that serve as a framework for a happy and successful life and family, leading to God's reward of endless life.

Proverbs 16:
"25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But in the end it leads to death. 26 The appetite of a laborer makes him work hard For his hunger urges him on. 27 An unworthy man digs up what is bad; His speech is like a scorching fire. 28 A troublemaker causes dissension, And a slanderer separates close friends."
"25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But in the end it leads to death."
GOD'S WAY MORE THAN OUR OWN. Do you grasp the significance of this inspired proverb? Is it not God's way that brings life to a person, both within and with hope of eternity? Do you count only on your own ideas for happiness, peace, security, and life for how long? We have not been designed, nor can we be truly successful, counting only on ourselves. God knows we are so much happier looking to Him, even depending on Him and His guidance and eager assistance to help us learn and know how to handle various situations throughout each day in a way that brings peace and happiness not only to ourselves, but to those we deal with, whether loved ones, friends, or neighbors. Even if our own ideas seem right to us, may we compare them with God's word, and seek Him, pleaing with Him in prayer when an idea or decision really matters or can make a difference in our own life or that of others. We want to do things a truly right way, a wise way as His word directs, that we may truly be successful in all our endeavors. Psalm 127:1 says this: "Unless Jehovoe builds the house, It is in vain that its builders work hard on it. Unless Jehovoe guards the city, It is in vain that the guard stays awake. 2 It is in vain that you rise up early, That you stay up late, That you toil for your food, Since he provides for his loved ones while giving them sleep." Also, the beautiful truth of Romans 8:28 is this: "We know that God makes all his works cooperate together for the good of those who love God..." As we all look to God and His way, seeking to honor Him more than ourselves, we can truly find the joy, the peace, the prosperous success for which the human family has long yearned.
"26 The appetite of a laborer makes him work hard For his hunger urges him on."
A GOOD AIM, HONORING GOD. This insight into what compels a worker might also remind us of the importance of setting good goals in life, and working to acheive them. Truly good goals, such as Jehovoe would bless, can be turned into smaller, more manageable steps, in the right direction. Recall Proverbs 10:22, which says "It is the blessing of Jehovah that makes one rich, And He adds no pain with it." Another verse says "Expectation postponed is making the heart sick..." Sometimes people set goals that do not line up with the will of Jehovoe, His wonderful purpose for mankind. If we're pursuing a wrong course, in violation of God's law or word, we should abandon such a thing, and choose instead something more in line with the talents God has given us in support of His loving will for humanity. That last verse continues, "but the thing desired is a tree of life when it does come." Let's look to God for rewarding us for being reasonable, realistic, and upright in the goals we choose to set, and with His blessing reach, that bring God gladness to His heart.
"27 An unworthy man digs up what is bad; His speech is like a scorching fire."
DO GOOD WITH KNOWLEDGE. Seeking God's wisdom, to keep His law and prove upright in our ways and dealings with others helps us see the good, and potential, in both ourselves and others. Ignoring these things, lacking wisdom and good motive, we would tend to look for faults in others, while ignoring our own, usually with arrogance. Psalm 36:1-4 reveals: "Transgression speaks to the corrupt one deep within his heart; There is no awe of God before his eyes. 2 For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much To detect and hate his error. 3 The words of his mouth are hurtful and deceptive; He shows no insight for doing what is good. 4 He plots hurtful schemes even on his bed. He is set on a path that is not good; He does not reject what is bad." May we always aim to please God, and help others do the same, using whatever wisdom God has given us for a good purpose, to strengthen others in the doing of good, as God instructs.
"28 A troublemaker causes dissension, And a slanderer separates close friends."
AVOID HURTFUL SPEECH. Once again, ignoring God's word and law can cause one to be sidetracked in life, causing trouble rather than seeking peace with others. Without gentle kindness and self-control, our words can stir up wrong thoughts and feelings. Proverbs 3:7 says "Do not become wise in your own eyes. Revere Jehovoe and turn away from bad. 8 It will be a healing to your body And refreshment for your bones." As regards our speech, we should pause before saying just whatever comes into our mind--Think before we speak. A negative word about someone else usually does little to help a situation, and can cause pain to that one and others. Proverbs 12:18 says "Thoughtless speech is like the stabs of a sword, But the tongue of the wise is a healing." Rather than marring the name or reputation of others, let's seek wisdom from God to show mercy and help others correct their ways, rise to their potential to love as God does, truly loving our neighbor as ourselves.

“29 A violent man entices his neighbor And leads him in the wrong way. 30 He winks his eye as he schemes harm. He pinches his lips together as he carries out mischief. 31 Gray hair is a crown of beauty When it is found in the way of uprightness. 32 The one slow to anger is better than a mighty man, And the one controlling his temper than one conquering a city. 33 The lot is cast into the lap, But every decision by it is from Jehovoe.”
NOT ENVY DEVIOUS, VIOLENT. PR16:29-30 The connection may not be clear here, but a violent man is typically prideful, thinking his own ways are superior, and wants to draw undue attention to himself, rather than having proper regard for God and His ways. Such a person needs to realize the wrongness of their ways, and repent from such badness. Still violent and prideful, he may also be persuasive, and entices his neighbor to do as he pleases, feeling justified in his course of wrongdoing as others also comply. It is, however, “the wrong way.” Such a one tends to scheme badness, deceive, and trick others. While he might make his voice “gracious,” he is still violent, perhaps immoral, but not yet fully versed in mildness and compassionate patience with others. His anger may flare over any slight against him, even if intended as loving correction. While perhaps “loving” those who love him, he can also hate others, ‘scheming harm’ against them while winking his eye, feeling justified as he takes revenge on an innocent one. Proverbs 3:31-32 thus says “31 Do not envy the violent man Nor choose any of his ways, 32 For Jehovoe detests a devious person, But His close friendship is with the upright.” May all of us learn to steer clear of deception, trickery, and scheming against others, but instead let true love and peace dominate our motives for acting toward others with compassion and kindness. We must recognize God's love for all and the value of His inspired Word, the Bible, to help each one to make spiritual progress. May we choose to be upright before Jehovoe, seeking to please and honor Him as He so deserves as our Life-giver and “the Judge of all the earth.” (Genes 18:25).
"31 Gray hair is a crown of beauty When it is found in the way of uprightness."
VALUING AND RESPECTING OLDER ONES. PR16:31 Yes, Leviticus 19:32 states: “32 “‘Before gray hair you should rise up, and you must show consideration for the person of an old man, and you must be in awe of your God. I am Jehovoe.” Of course, do not older persons tend to be wiser with experience gained in life, but how much more so when such ones have treasured their relationships with God and others, seeking to live by the teachings of Christ! Thus learning to love God and neighbor, and seeking to live peaceably with others as they practice God’s right ways, hating what is bad in godly fear, would they not thus tend to have even more to share with younger ones to encourage them toward eternal life? May we delight in receiving of their encouragement and treasure dear faithful ones among us!
"32 The one slow to anger is better than a mighty man, And the one controlling his temper than one conquering a city."
VALUE PATIENCE, AVOID LETTING ANGER CAUSE SIN. PR16:32 What a powerful proverb, encouraging genuine patience among true worshippers of God. Who hasn't been at least irritated when something goes seriously wrong in their life? Of course, a minor offense or mishap is one thing. If you have been wronged or seriously hurt by others, then feeling hurt or frustrated is also understandable. It is normal to begin to have these feelings, but should we not keep them in check, to avoid sinning or hurting another? Let's thus maintain control and act quickly to find a peaceful resolution to the problem. As King David encouraged at Psalm 37: “8 Let go of anger and abandon rage; Do not become upset and turn to doing evil. 9 For evil men will be done away with, But those hoping in Jehovoe will possess the earth.” Naturally, something may begin to agitate or even irritate us—this is the time to act, to channel any energy into finding a solution to the problem or seeing how to cope with it. Do not allow such irritation to escalate beyond reason into anger that disrupts your ability to think clearly, and often causes hurt feelings and other damage. This is well expressed at Psalm 4:4: "Be agitated, but do not sin. Have your say in your heart, upon your bed, and keep silent." By cultivating self-control, mild gentleness in dealing with others, love and patience, channeling any energy into finding solutions, we may safeguard our relationships to the delight of our loved ones, friends, and neighbors, and especially the God who “is love,” Jehovoe (1John 4:8).
"33 The lot is cast into the lap, But every decision by it is from Jehovoe.”
LOOK FOR TRUE DIVINE GUIDANCE! Prove 16:33 This was a God-approved way in ancient Israel for certain matters to be determined. God has ways to give us answers we need! Thus we needn’t turn to witchcraft and sorcery to have divine direction in our life. Rather, we need to reject witchcraft and sorcery, and 'looking for omens,' all part of “spiritism,” which is considered by God to be one of the “works of the flesh” that can disqualify one from eternal happiness (Galat 5:19-21). The practice of spiritism includes the use of such things as Ouija boards and Tarot cards. Let’s turn to God! For instance, whose help would you rather have in finding a loyal marriage partner—Jehovoe God’s or one of his enemies, such as the demons? Does not our loving God want to count you worthy of receiving of His assistance? Cannot Jehovoe, the God of love, know you well, what you delight in and desire, and help you find someone you can truly delight to share life with? In fact, the first book of the Bible, Genesis, contains the actual history regarding descendants of Abraham, where Jehovoe intervened to bring loyal persons together in heart-stirring love stories—Isaac and Rebekah, and Jacob and Rachel, also Leah. This was real history—the early origin of the Jewish people, as Jacob would proceed to have 12 sons, mostly constituting the 12 tribes of Israel. Thus, “Trust in Jehovoe with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways take notice of him, And he will make your paths straight.” (Prove 3:5-6). Receive of God’s loving guidance available, for example, in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount of Matthew 5-7, and the book of Proverbs, starting with chapters 1-10. With Proverbs, don’t be discouraged over the “big words” in the first few verses—use a dictionary if necessary, or benefit from my commentary—these words refer to some of the aspects of true wisdom that you will gain understanding of as you read this book, which God has provided in part “to give to a young man knowledge and thinking ability.” Pray to God for help to understand this book, and utilize resources such as this website. James says “So if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching, and it will be given him. 6 But let him keep asking in faith, not doubting at all...” (James 1:5-6).

(y.725Rih, 810Sun 1:45; 2:31,40,44,54; 3:19; 11:19,44 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've wanted to remind how this week both calendars, old and new, line up between today through Saturday and Salvtuday. Most new daynames have similarity to 7-Day names, yet underscore a purpose for them by God. As regards a way to clarify which calendar is being referenced, there is preference to the y. designation, an early possibility, as the year is to the left of the decimal. Thus y25.725 indicates this day, 2025, the 7th month (Huli) and the 25th day (alternating Sunday, called Righzday, connected to making Rye or Croissant bread, which is naturally possible to make only on this day every two weeks, Rightdoing and the Sun of righteousness, like Sunday still the First day of the week, and Rizing as an early workweek makes possible the Four-Day weekend break to come afterward. So y25.725 is this day (8/10/25). In this first designation method, y25.725 the month is only one character, which is alphanumeric, with months 10, 11, and 12 being designated as capital A,B, and C. It can also be y25.7/25, which allows for the month to be two digits. Thus both y25.11/25 and y25.07/25 would be acceptable. It may be possible that difference could be recognized between 7(8/10/25) and 8(7/25/25), although in the second case the second number, day of the month, will need to be higher than 31. With the y25.725 designation, this could also be y.725 if the year is not necessary, or just 725 if it is something simple where the year doesn't matter, like the date on the lid of a newly opened carton of milk. Also, to keep track of both, sometimes I use y25.725 and add comma, f or p and 810 referring to the 7day calendar date. Also remember that a 3rd transition calendar would help all to relate closer 7-Day calendar dates to new 8-Day calendar dates, but this would call for referencing a 13th month, one week at a time between some months, but eventually also with more than 31 days, although this adjustment may not be needed THIS year for an accurate transition. Recall the SUM More Orderly Time (Possible Months 7-8 Entry) article below, that discusses this time as an entry point to the new calendar, along with half or more of the world seeing God's gift. Again, this entire week lines up between both calendars, so appointments for next week could be discussed or adjusted, either on the same new dayname, the new monday date for the old monday date, or something else depending on the purpose of the meeting, etc. These appointments could be confirmed, if this changeover should take place. In many places last year, both calendars began to be acknowledged among people even here in the U.S., and some decisions were being based on the new calendar more than the old. There is one issue that hasn't been mentioned, and that's pay times as regards a changeover. Weekly pays could take place on a similar day of the week, although alternating between Starzday (first Friday) and Salvtuday (second Saturday), the second day of the normal four-day break, are recommended, the term Salary being originally based on use of Salt, associated with that day. Other reasons have been presented, and proper planning for this can overcome most if not all concern. The other issue is with Monthly payments. Of course many 7th month payments or early 8th month payments have already been made, but a two-week or 16-day difference between the calendars currently, or 18 days in about a week, could call for another payment with the beginning of a new 8th month. The half-month of time that would have passed by then could make possible a half-month's pay amount, then getting on track to a similar pay schedule based on the 8 day calendar. Alternatively, paydates could change on the new calendar from end or start of months to something mid-month, which would keep the money coming out about the same time as before through the changeover, without need for any additional payment. The above information has now been inserted into the SUM More Orderly Months (Possible Months 7-8 Entry) article below. Also, a (8B) Weekly Golden Apples, WGA-B, (B-507) is now posted, on blogpost 3, Election Integrity 2024-2025. Another update to Finding Truth, par. 15. Correction. Update to WGA-B list. (y.724Fwn, 809Sat 3:09 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I needed to update the article Finding Truth, having been one of my first articles years ago, and I didn't realize there were some statements I used in logic regarding the Trinity teaching that for quite some time I would have not been using, but I had forgotten it was used in this article, and would have been corrected so as not to give a wrong impression, having to do with understanding the term "world" in the Scriptures, which I do address in the more recent article "Finding More Truth". I have updated Finding Truth, and hope that if you questioned anything along those lines in that article, that you look over that portion of it.

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.

Updating, I've added posts on blogpost 2, finishing the Ten Commandments and adding a Persistent post of 4B, Psalm 119 Intro of Stanzas 1-4. Also, let me clarify that there are places on the 3 blogposts that are meant to be filled as the half quarter (month and a half) proceeds, and the 3A-C blogposts have not been up all that long. So the move to 4A-C up through month 6 will allow more posts as on the site previously, before the new format. Soon adding two Psalm Selects to the Persistent/Introductory Posts on this blogpage. Posted,both Psalms 1 and 15. Now, added posts to pages 2 and 3. This includes 4A Godz Lawl posts in PIP, Persistent/Introductory Posts, and another Godz Lawl post in segment 4A, on the Golden Rule, also in (5) Eternal Express, on Protecting Peace from Ephesians 4-5, and (6) Golden Bellz, on the Salvtuday dayname recommendation from Saltuday. Also, added the 7) article under the CTC Foundational list, actually the original 5th article, Realities of God's Government and Beneficial Standards, and then to (9) Godlove Home, I added the article Aim to Develop True Loyal Love. Misc. updates. 25d.514Prz,f525Sun 8:53 am; 1:15,29,56; 6:29 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! 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.
