SAT (8:27,40,55 am) Hello, wishing you fine things today! Finally, WM[2], the record of this past week's Win-it Minute episodes. You may notice within the text of R02.710 I've used "Jeho'shwa" to represent Jesus' more correct name, rather than "Jeho'sha." Evidence indicates that it was Caesar who chose the Greek form of his name, a term associated with water, but derailed it's true meaning. "Jehoshwa" reflects even more accurately the Hebrew pronunciation, and the meaning "Jehovoe is salvation." Initially the "w" was rejected, as it's use changed the meaning of the English term. However, an additional meaning for "w" was and is possible, and on this basis the correct way of speaking most accurately the name of God's Firstborn Son may be confirmed in the English language.

GOLDEN APPLES
Post-Ian, Home Considerations
Some have heard of a few of my recommendations related to housing in the Floriday Ian recovery. Let me be clear up front: I remain hopeful that, with the kind assistance of all those wishing to help, monetarily and otherwise, between community organizations and cooperative businesses, including insurers for those who were able to have flood insurance, that all who've suffered loss be able to recover and have, in line with their means, a place to call home and to continue as valued members of their community. I urge that any eager plans for new home or rental construction, or even renovation, while attention is given to property cleanup efforts, preparation, etc., be flexible enough to consider a new, more fire-resistant, economical, and in some ways time-saving approach to building, in line with worthy initiatives. This approach has the potential to greatly reduce the sense of loss by damage to home in case of a severe flood event, as well as associated costs to owners and insurers. This is especially recommended on most any populated peninsula, such as the Florida Peninsula.
PERMISSABLE IMPROVEMENTS. I strongly urge insurers, for future benefit and currently such for their own customers, to allow, even if proper documentation be required, that monies due for an event such as this, where much damage to property has occurred and is at threat to eventually occur again, be permitted to be used for something other than putting a home/etc. back nearly in the condition that it was prior to the hurricane, which in many cases only serves to perpetuate unnecessarily a tragic outcome when such a threat has any chance to loom again. Rather, may even the same insurance payment as can be estimated to restore the home, be permitted for use along with some relatively low-cost solutions to the homeowner that make possible a residence that is much better equipped to withstand such an event with considerably less damage to the average homeowner.
ONE OF NOW THREE CONCEPTS. At least three options are being recommended for consideration, at least to those in more vulnerable flood zones, but preferably even throughout a peninsula and inland from an ocean's beach in other land areas. Essentially such a home might have at least two floors. In areas closest to the ocean and lowest levels above sea, the first floor should be at ground level or above, with stairs ascending to the more secure second floor, which is believed in nearly every case with Hurricane Ian, to have proved in a well-built home to be quite protected from the flood waters. The first floor in this case may be built with standard or textured block and a more weather-proof interior wall, perhaps with somewhat of a patio area, with glass and screens, and quality outdoor furniture and carpeting, that may weather a storm. While there could be a recreational area on the first level, with such things as a slate pool table or slate ping-pong table, it remains reasonable to possibly or alternatively permit living quarters on this level, with certain precautions. A full bath could be available, and why not, a bedroom and such, with care in the selection of decorations and furnishings, either more capable of flood resistance, or recyclable and less costly? Might not certain things like files or file boxes be kept near the stairs leading to floor 2, where they can be transferred securely in a severe storm threat? In such a hopefully rare event, electronics could be unplugged, and a few other items be identified for safe transfer as well, along with all persons!
ALL CASES. Before mentioning the second concept, it is important to consider in both cases that thick-gauge steel doors be recommended (not a thin-gauge that readily collapsed under great water pressure), as well as thicker glass on bottom floors, and in both cases well-made seals to secure each from water penetration.
SECOND CONCEPT. The second basic concept, both of which might generate imaginative variations, is a SPLIT-FOYER. Many are familiar with this two-story home, which in this case should be brick, that enters on a level between the two floors, about halfway up. The main entry is usually a few steps up on the outside, but with securely sealed doors, front and back, and the upper floor windows are higher up on the outside due to this home design, meaning that a high level of water may be tolerated with little or no penetration. While the lower level is partially underground, Ian proved it can be made secure from water seepage, if any lower windows, etc. are as mentioned above. Ensure any wall penetrations are properly and strongly sealed, and any dryer on the lower floor may need to expel within the home, rather than penetrate the wall.
ANOTHER CONCEPT. Again more inland than concept 1, is also two-story, but potentially may weather a Hurricane Ian with no flood penetration. This home, with proper foundation work, etc., can begin several feet below grade, like the split-foyer, and needs to be block or textured block or something similar on the bottom floor, and with no windows, or extremely water-tight thick glass such as from a ship or submarine manufacturer. There would be solid, perhaps concrete, stairs or a porch from outside to the main or upper floor, then with sealable high windows, and the outer walls of brick, and water-tight seals on heavy guage steel upper level doors. Such a home, with proper design, can be quite affordable for many to consider. I have patented a few construction-friendly and modern designs that range from low- to mid-income levels, that upon completion may actually be valued on the market somewhat greater than build-cost.
IMPROVED FIRE-RESISTANCE, ETC. Other measures are presently in the works, such as an improved home electrical system that greatly reduces electrical fire risk, and an improved gypsum wallboard that is also more fire-resistant, which we hope all gypsum manufacturers may be willing and able to provide. Certainly it is worth it for families to feel more secure, and Insurers who offer both fire and flood insurance to find such initiatives of benefit to both their customers and themselves. Many Ian victims evidently had trouble affording to qualify for flood insurance. Going forward, think of the cost reduction if everyone with a home was required to have flood insurance--divided among so many, the cost could be greatly reduced! Insurers for those on a peninsula could be served by several, not just a few, such large insurers also serving large numbers throughout the country. This may negate any need for expensive or unnecessary financial qualifications. Let's look into approaches that make sense to help one another be better able to cope in case any such a storm threatens ever again. Also, please have arrangements in order for some other welcome place to go, among family, friends, or the like, a safe distance away, along with means of transportation, in case some evacuation order is received. It may be that a nearby friend could include you or your family with their own arrangements.
OTHER WORKS. Also, for those unable to afford a typical home, a few other things are in the works. For one, I've developed some apartment designs that are able to be built at considerably less cost, as both two- and three-bedroom. For a three-story apartment building, there could be eight apartments second floor or above. It may be in flood prone areas that the lower spaces could be left unfinished or for a lounge area. I invite agencies, builders, etc. to consider my patented designs. Other designers and builders may look for other ways to reduce rental costs. Two of my designs, in particular, allow for solid buildings with eight apartments on each level, two and three. They both are to be three-bedroom, one works out to cost about $14,000 per finished apartment, the other $19,000. These could profitably be rented for $325 and $400/month respectively. The lesser one, though smaller, may have included a storage unit in the eighth space on the same level. While most places have cost more to build and maintain, with insurance, and therefore have higher rent costs, it may be that the proposals for reduced fire risk may lessen some costs in the future. There is also a large-scale project, that can make possible temporary housing at very reduced cost, for those in-between more permanent living arrangements. Working together, doing things as God would have us do, we can truly care for one another and become more united and at peace.
ANOTHER PROPOSAL. Another part of the response in this matter is relocation, for those who no longer have a livable place to stay, or need a new place to reside and coordinate work on the former home or property. As just mentioned, there are plans for new construction on a large-scale project with temporary housing, but this may take some time to acquire properties, clear debris, obtain materials, and construct. Until then, what may be done? Some of the larger, central and northern cities of Florida have many apartments or rental units available. Also, what about lower Georgia--I've proposed that there might be some agreement made that would permit at least some of the benefits of living in Florida to be permitted in some southern counties of Georgia, permitting many without housing to find agreeable places to dwell there, either temporarily or more permanently, as each may choose. Perhaps also some new home/rental unit construction could take place there. Also, there are likely many agreeable units or properties to be found in nearby Alabama as well. There may be some available funding for help with rent in these areas for those looking to get back on their feet but needing a hand. Those already on welfare may find that programs exist for help with rent as well. For those in a totally desperate plight, the Salvation Army is helping people with my Step Up Plan, to receive money on loan for food & shelter, to be repaid currently at an additional 10%, as soon as can be managed, with help to find work near some limited places to stay, repaying and then with work income, to relocate. This is such a worthy program to donate to, whoever may be able, through your local site. With many needing help, may we be minded to look out for, not only our own needs, but that of our loved ones, friends, and neighbors as well (Philippians 2:4)! R03.700

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

R02.700 Opening the Sermon
Considered among the wisest sermons ever given, how does Jesus open the Sermon on the Mount, and why is this of significance?
Win-it Minute--A six-day weekly segment promoting divine wisdom and love for true success.
Opening the Sermon. Often considered among the wisest sermons ever given, known as the Sermon on the Mount, it was given by God's Son Jesus, and opens with the nine most essential traits or virtues of Christianity. Surely these are worthy of careful consideration, even timely reminder. In the next few episodes, let's begin with the first five, perhaps seeing some of the benefits of thoughtfully acquiring them. As might be expected of such a worthy speech, the very first trait opens our heart to the instruction to follow: "Happy are those conscious, or aware, of their spiritual need, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them." (Matth 5:3) Thus this awareness, or mindfulness, is essential to receiving the kingdom of the heavens, which kingdom became the theme of Jesus' ministry on earth, while beneath his heavenly, or royal dignity. All have a spirit within. God's word helps us understand this spirit and how to care for it properly. R02.700

R02.710 Further Introduction.
Recently, we considered the first five verses of the Sermon on the Mount, given by Jesus, or Jehoshwa. Each of these verses, along with the next four, states a trait that contributes much to the development of true happiness and the Christian new personality. It continues: "Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God." Thus to really see what God is like, one must acquire heartfelt purity. This is a clean spirit morally, that seeks no violation of God's law for self-serving purposes. Rather, the aim by faith in God's Son is blamelessness before God, upholding His standards of truth, fairness, and what is right. It helps to realize that God has made provision to satisfy our genuine needs within His law, not without it. Psalm 119:9 asks: "How can a young man keep his path clean? By keeping on guard according to your word." And James 1:17 says in part: "The wisdom from above is first of all, pure." R02.710

R02.720 True Wisdom is Reasonable
What is being reasonable, as used in God's word, and why is this trait beneficial?
In defining true wisdom, James writes that it is first of all, pure, then peaceable, reasonable..." and so on. Recently, we've reexamined the first two of these--purity and peaceableness. Certainly an important part of making peace with others is being "reasonable," which is a willingness to yield or compromise where it is right and fair to do so. Doing the right thing lessens or negates many problems associated with wrongdoing and responsibility for such. A person may not be aware of a all the factors or details of a matter, and is open to investigate. At some point an opinion is acquired, or a decision may have been made. But upon gaining a more complete understanding, a truly wise person can still adjust his or her view. Of course, reliance upon God can help greatly to avert poor decisions made with misinformation. Also, looking ahead at the consequences of both good and bad decisions contributes to wisdom and this trait of reasonableness. More next time. R02.720

R02.730 Becoming Truly Impartial
Recently we've considered more of the traits that make up wisdom that is divinely inspired of God, leading to success. As we've also considered, it is having God's blessing that we really need--seeking things in full agreement with God's loving will and purpose for humankind. After the aspects of being reasonable and ready to heed divine guidance comes the mindset of "not making partial distinctions," becoming truly impartial in our assessment of others. Certain improper beliefs or attitudes can alter our view of another, so that we're not seeing someone as God sees him or her, or as we should see that one. The most important concerns are misjudging one's character and not recognizing the good or potential within a person, leading to mistreatment. Qualities of discernment, understanding and empathy, and deep respect for God, all are vitial to correcting such a view. More next time. R02.730

PROVERBS 2:1-6
"1 My son, if you accept my sayings And treasure up my commandments, 2 By making your ear attentive to wisdom And inclining your heart to discernment; 3 Moreover, if you call out for understanding And raise your voice for discernment; 4 If you keep seeking for it as for silver, And you keep searching for it as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of Jehovah, And you will find the knowledge of God. 6 For Jehovah himself gives wisdom; From his mouth come knowledge and discernment."
"1 My son, if you accept my sayings And treasure up my commandments,"
(2:1): Proverbs 30:5 says "Every saying of God is refined." Jesus said in prayer, at John 17:17, "Your word is truth." We can count on God's word the Bible containing powerful, dependable truths. Let's appreciate the 'sayings of God,' and treasure up his commandments. "This is what the love of God means, that we observe His commandments, and yet his commandments are not burdensome." (1John 5:3). God's commandments, now primarily through Christ, are for our protection and benefit, essential to keeping God's standards in our life.
"2 By making your ear attentive to wisdom And inclining your heart to discernment;"
(2:2): Recall we have two ears and one mouth, so we should be good listeners before being good speakers. A truly wise person continues to humbly listen and learn from others, rather than becoming a "know-it-all." Of course, the gaining of knowledge is fine with proper motive, but is best preceded by the acquiring of a "heart of [true, divine] wisdom." May our ears be attentive to genuine wisdom from God, the successful application of knowledge, in God's view, and seeking discernment, the ability to see the difference between true from false, good from bad, right from wrong, wise from unwise, and the more important matters of law from lesser matters, though still required.
"3 Moreover, if you call out for understanding And raise your voice for discernment;"
(2:3): May we call out for understanding and discernment, by seeking God's assistance in prayer, that largely we may ensure proper motives in serving God, loving Him first and foremost (Matth 22:37-39). God is the One who loves mankind the most, so true love will faithfully act in line with God's will in seeking to love others, rather than doing things our own way, seeking our own glory. (Prove 20:6). With understanding, we can begin seeing the big picture, along with all the smaller pieces of knowledge and how they interrelate to one another, coming together to make the whole, seeking God's honor in making use of such knowledge, not our own (John 7:18).
"4 If you keep seeking for it as for silver, And you keep searching for it as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of Jehovah, And you will find the knowledge of God. 6 For Jehovah himself gives wisdom; From his mouth come knowledge and discernment."
(2:4-6): This quest for genuine godly wisdom should be valued and sought after like hidden treasures, seeking to understand true godly fear and truthful knowledge of God and His law and purposes. Godly fear includes a reverential awe of God and fear of displeasing our loving Father. We should be always appreciating God's gift of life, and the uncountable gifts we experience every day, from the incredible variety of foods, beautiful sights, smells, sounds, etc. that make a wonderful life possible and enjoyable, especially in God's new world of righteousness. It is ultimately from God, more than the worldly wise, that we receive true knowledge and discernment. And receiving it from God, it should therefore be used in agreement with God's will, and not simply according to our own ideas.
____PC[2]
"7 He treasures up practical wisdom for the upright; He is a shield for those walking in integrity. 8 He watches over the paths of justice, And he will guard the way of his loyal ones. 9 Then you will understand what is right, just and fair, The entire course of what is good."
These verses follow on the heels of instruction to find "the knowledge of God" by seeking understanding and discernment, as well as the healthy fear of displeasing God. Prov 2:6 added that "Jehovoe himself gives wisdom; From his mouth come knowledge and discernment." Discernment sees the difference between things, such as good from bad, right from wrong, true from false, serious matters of law from lesser ones, though still required. God instructs us in such things, educating and refining our God-given conscience, that we may be guided in the right way from His word.
"7 He treasures up practical wisdom for the honest; He is a shield for those walking in integrity."
(2:7) Jehovoe gives the honest, who are seeking Him, practical wisdom, to be able to successfully apply knowledge in life, for the loving benefit of others and themselves. Such ones, as we should desire, seek to walk in integrity, seeking to act the right way despite trials or difficulties, prayerfully confident that our faithful God Jehovoe "will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out so that you may be able to endure it." (1Cor 10:13). Yes in this way, Jehovoe "is a shield for those walking in integrity."
"8 He watches over the paths of justice, And he will guard the way of his loyal ones."
(2:8) Jehovoe "watches over the paths of justice," wanting to safeguard the freedom to serve Him faithfully among right-hearted lawmakers and judges of the earth. It is God's word that should be respected and revered as the touchstone of peace-loving right conduct among mankind. Jehovoe will guard His loyal ones, watching over them as they seek to walk with Him, by right conduct, on the path leading to endless life.
"9 Then you will understand what is right, just and fair, The entire course of what is good."
(2:9) By seeking to walk with God, and seeking to comprehend the knowledge of God, you may come to understand "the entire course of what is good." This evidently includes "what is right," or in accord with God's right laws, standards, and ways. It includes "what is...just," in harmony with divine justice, which takes into account God's merciful concern for His human creation. And it includes "what is...fair," or reasonably equitable between involved parties. May we seek to grasp the entire course of what is good--essentially all that is involved in the pursuit of God's will, that we may "calculate the cost" of building discipleship under Christ Jehosha (Jesus' more correct name, in both meaning and pronunciation). (Luke 14:27-28).

"10 When wisdom enters your heart And knowledge becomes pleasant to your soul, 11 Thinking ability will keep watch over you, And discernment will safeguard you, 12 To save you from the bad course, From the man speaking perverse things, 13 From those leaving the upright paths To walk in the ways of darkness,"
"10 When wisdom enters your heart And knowledge becomes pleasant to your soul, 11 Thinking ability will keep watch over you, And discernment will safeguard you"
(2:10-11) True wisdom needs to reach our heart for it to do much good, affecting our actions or behavior, not just our speech. Abundant knowledge may do little good if it is not guided by a properly motivated heart. Knowledge should become pleasant to us, and having a wise heart will allow thinking ability and discernment to safeguard us. We should certainly develop and practice thinking ability or logical thinking. Anyone having trouble with important thinking and logic skills should pray about the issue, and find assistance to correct matters. Certainly Jehovah wants all lovers of Him to acquire "thinking ability!" Christians are instructed to use their "power of reason" in serving God effectively (Romans 12:1). Of course, any deficiencies now can be fully corrected under the rule of God's Kingdom. Also, recall that discernment is the ability to see the difference between true and false, right and wrong, good and bad, wise and unwise, as well as serious matters of the law and lesser matters, though still required. This discernment safeguards us, helping us walk uprightly despite potential hazards and traps that we may be exposed to.
"12 To save you from the bad course, From the man speaking perverse things, 13 From those leaving the upright paths To walk in the ways of darkness,"
(2:12-13) This thinking ability and discernment saves us from many things, "from the bad course," as we're able to see the difference between good and evil, favoring and choosing the good path. These things save us "from the man speaking perverse (or, corrupt) things." Thus we're able to identify corruption, when words stray from the path of integrity. They also save us "from those leaving the upright paths to walk in the ways of darkness." Those leaving the right path do not find the so-called happiness they seek, but this course leads eventually to misery, which we hope causes them to return, although battered spiritually. Thinking ability and discernment protect us from exposure to wrong influences, helping us maintain right desires before God, the course of true happiness, despite what others may choose. May our stand for faithfulness encourage others to remain on God's side, the side of the truth, true happiness, and eternal life.

Let's backtrack to include verses 10-11 to supply context...
"10 When wisdom enters your heart And knowledge becomes pleasant to your soul, 11 Thinking ability will keep watch over you, And discernment will safeguard you,...14 From those who rejoice in wrongdoing, Who find joy in the perverseness of evil, 15 Those whose paths are crooked And whose entire course is devious. 16 It will save you from the wayward woman, From the smooth words of the immoral woman, 17 Who abandons the close companion of her youth And forgets the covenant of her God; 18 For her house sinks down into death, And her paths lead to those powerless in death. 19 None of those having relations with her will return, Nor will they regain the pathways of life."
Lest we misunderstand verse 19, let's supply some background. This was originally written for the nation of Israel, living under the Mosaic Law covenant, which condemned sexual immorality and especially the sin of adultery strongly. Clearly, God understands the many beneficial reasons for two seeking a marriage and family, as He purposed, which has brought great happiness throughout history. The spiritual implications of a decadent immoral influence among God's people was taken seriously, although God in His mercy could intervene. This is why it is written that they will not "regain the pathways of life." It is life under the ungodly system that was meant--the "unrighteous" could still in God's mercy come back in the future resurrection and willingly submit to God's law and direction, finding eternal life. (Acts 24:15). Yet, all should take warning, as we have been in a time of judgement by God. How vital to learn to submit to God's direction now! As 1Corinthians 6:9-11 shows for those becoming Christians, that some had been sexually "immoral, idolaters, adulterers," submitting to homosexual acts, and so on. But then the inspired word of God says "And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean; you have been sanctified; you have been declared righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God." They thus changed their behavior to find agreement with God's will, and God forgave them, as they most likely weren't rebelling against God with full knowledge of wrongdoing. There are significant factors in some current gay and lesbian behaviors, such as a powerful herbicide Atrazine, having been used extensively on many U.S. corn crops, even turning male frogs female! Such exposed ones should nevertheless look to God for a determined and balanced approach to correcting matters, as may be found. We cannot continue to practice what we know is wrong and expect God's continued forgiveness--we can make the changes and find greater happiness in doing so! In harmony with God's love and will for humans, one vital principle of God's word declares: "Mercy triumphs over judgement." (James 2:13). And 2Peter 3:9 agrees, saying "Jehovoe...does not desire anyone to perish but desires all to attain to repentance."
"10 When wisdom enters your heart And knowledge becomes pleasant to your soul, 11 Thinking ability will keep watch over you, And discernment will safeguard you,"
(2:10-11) Wisdom is the successful application of knowledge, and thus knowledge should, with the gaining of understanding to see the big picture and all it's pieces, come "easily" and become pleasant to oneself. (Prove 14:6). Then, thinking ability and discernment will serve to protect one from many destructive traps. It is divine knowledge and wisdom that is a protection from serious wrongdoing. Included in this is "thinking ability" and "discernment"--the ability to discern between such things as right and wrong, good and bad, wise and unwise, more important matters and lesser ones, though still required by law. With prudent shrewdness we can see the consequences of our decisions, and come to hate what is bad in the healthy "fear of Jehovoe"--fearing to displease our loving Father, to hurt Him in any way.
"14 From those who rejoice in wrongdoing, Who find joy in the perverseness of evil,"
(2:14) Those rejoicing in wrongdoing are not acting in harmony with true love, which "does not rejoice over unrighteousness but rejoices with the truth." (1Cori 13:6). They are finding joy in lies, corruption and evil, their values becoming twisted as they are likely feeding their minds and hearts on foolish, corrupt or violent entertainment. Some comedies are providing laughing tracks, or sounds of laughter, over whatever is imagined should be funny, including wrongful speech and actions, at times harmfully twisting the values of the eventual audience. Wise ones are not misled into regularly feeding on such distorted ideas.
"15 Those whose paths are crooked And whose entire course is devious."
(2:15) Thinking ability and discernment may protect us from those rejoicing in wrongdoing who are following "crooked" paths--distorted from the path of righteousness leading to life--their deceptive course, riddled with spiritual snares and fallacies, troubled by hurtfulness and sorrow, leads only to death, or destruction.
"16 It will save you from the wayward woman, From the smooth words of the immoral woman, 17 Who abandons the close companion of her youth And forgets the covenant of her God; 18 For her house sinks down into death, And her paths lead to those powerless in death. 19 None of those having relations with her will return, Nor will they regain the pathways of life."
(2:16-19) A wayward or immoral woman could entice one lacking in true wisdom, thinking ability, or discernment. Her "smooth words" could penetrate one's mind and heart without the ability to reason on the matter, and see the implications of such a course. We must realize the spiritually destructive effects of sexual immorality, as well as the numerous benefits of treasuring the covenant of marriage God instituted from the beginning of the human family on earth. In this covenant, two can love God and each other like no one else on the planet, loyally caring for one another through thick and thin, in good times and bad, and have children that can be cherished and raised in a loving, peaceful, stable environment with the corrective influence of both a father and a mother, cooperating to bring them up in the "admonition of Jehovoe." (Ephes 6:4). It is God's will that we come to find genuine satisfaction and happiness in this arrangement, with both persons learning to truly love Jehovoe and each other in the way God instructs in His word. Should young ones worry that they won't find a marriageable partner when the time nears to consider this gift more carefully? Does Jehovoe God not want you to be happy? Can He not hear your prayers accordingly? Isaiah 59:1 says: "Look! The hand of Jehovoe is not too short to save, Nor is his ear too dull to hear." (Compare Numbers 11:23). Remember "engagement"? How many long-time faithful marriages began with high-school sweethearts, getting engaged and preparing themselves, sharing ups and downs, during that time for a future loving marriage?! Why not look for a faithful partner, one him- or herself keeping integrity to God, rather than succumbing to immorality (and by such, putting at risk the eternal life of any sharing participant--true love???)? If you find such a person before it's time to marry, why not agree to each other to be true to God, faithful in conduct, as you speak of your experiences, coming to know one another better, with your parents' permission? May we come to treasure this "good gift" of marriage, forgiving one another, especially unintended mistakes, both seeking faithfulness, to God and each other, without any immorality, drawing closer together for as long as God blesses it to last, into God's new world and perhaps, beyond. (James 1:17). If serious sin is not committed, you may find great delight by loyally loving the one you're with--see what can grow between you!

This exhortation ensues the warnings against ignoring divine wisdom and pursuing a selfish course that could result in calamity. “20 So follow the way of good people And stay on the paths of the honest, 21 For only the upright will reside in the earth, And the blameless will remain in it. 22 As for the wayward, they will be cut off from the earth, And the treacherous will be torn away from it.”
“20 So follow the way of good people And stay on the paths of the honest,"
(2:20) Therefore all are encouraged to appreciate and “follow” the way of good people. How fine that God has preserved such goodness among mankind that many, even in the difficult “last days,” could still see and recognize it being practiced. The honest and upright could still be found despite the presence of unseemly attitudes and practices mentioned at 2Timothy 3:1-5. Reasonably, however, there are places on the earth where such ones may be less common. May right-hearted ones in those areas rely heavily upon Jehovoe to continue setting a good example for their neighbors, in the hope of helping others be drawn to the truth of God’s word, as long as the way is still open for people to respond to the call of eternal life in peace. Revelation 14:6,7 speaks of the involvement of heavenly angels in declaring this message, saying: “6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people. 7 He was saying in a loud voice: “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of judgement by him has arrived, so worship the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the springs of water.””
"21 For only the upright will reside in the earth, And the blameless will remain in it."
(2:21) Notice God’s inspired word through King Solomon speaks of the earth as man’s true home, where even the blameless “will remain.” Before Jesus came there was no mention of man’s receiving heavenly life as a hope. That calling was to fulfill the need for a heavenly government by God, arranged by Him, having His direction, approval and blessing, to rule over mankind and the earth. For the majority, the hope is for God to finally be “...3 with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revel 21:3,4). Notice Isaiah 45:18: “18 For this is what Jehovoe says, The Creator of the heavens, the true God, The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, Who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am Jehovoe, and there is no one else.” But God wants those dwelling upon the earth to be “upright” and “blameless,” persons of integrity to God and loyal love, thus making for a wonderful SPIRITUAL Paradise on earth, to match perfectly the literal Paradise of beauty that is in the making for man to enjoy earth-wide.
"22 As for the wayward, they will be cut off from the earth, And the treacherous will be torn away from it.”
(2:22) Notice, again, it is from the earth that evil ones will be “cut off” and “torn away” from, not being allowed to enjoy the earthly Paradise home of mankind that the upright ones will. However, according to God's word, persons may be able to "die" to a former life course, and reawaken to a new way of life, as a true Christian.Ephesians 2:1 says, for instance: "Furthermore, [it is] YOU [God made alive] though YOU were dead in YOUR trespasses and sins. 2 in which YOU at one time walked according to the system of things of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience." Thus it may be that in just such a way, wayward ones will be cut off from the earth, and have a renewed life, submissive to God. It should be realized, however, since eternal life is a gift, not earned, that God can, at wost, bring death, the “wages of sin” (Romans 6:23; John 3:16). Still, it is God’s will that as many as possible be saved from such a calamity. May they repent of wrongdoing, turn to God, hoping in His divine mercy and blessing as they ascribe to the 8 H’s, with an updated order adjustment:
"(1) HOPING in God's approval and blessing, (2) HUMBLING themselves and becoming (3) HONEST, (4) HATING what is bad, (5) HURRY to turn around, (6) HUNGERING for what’s right, Taking God’s words to (7) HEART, and bringing the truth (8) HOME."
Isaiah 55:6,7 says: “6 Search for Jehovoe while he may be found. Call to him while he is near. 7 Let the wayward man leave his way And the evil man his thoughts; Let him return to Jehovoe, who will have mercy on him, To our God, for he will forgive in a large way.” And Acts 3:19 exhorts: "Repent, therefore, and turn around, so as to get your sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come from Jehovoe himself."

Proverbs 3:1-8:
"1 My son, do not forget my teaching, And may your heart observe my commandments, 2 Because they will add many days And years of life and peace to you. 3 Do not let loyal love and faithfulness leave you. Tie them around your neck; Write them on the tablet of your heart; 4 Then you will find favor and good insight In the eyes of God and man. 5 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. 7 Do not become wise in your own eyes. Fear Jehovoe and turn away from bad. 8 It will be a healing to your body And refreshment for your bones."
"1 My son, do not forget my teaching, And may your heart observe my commandments, 2 Because they will add many days And years of life and peace to you."
(3:1-2): Notice we're to observe God's commandments with our heart. What a good reminder that we can take information into our mind, but to truly benefit, we must ponder how we can truly use it to benefit others and ourselves to make it a part of us, to reach our heart. We should see the rewards, good consequences of observing God's commands, perhaps also the sadness and distress caused by one disobeying God, that we may hate what is bad. Here a general reward is mentioned for obeying God, doing so adds "many days and years of life and peace."
"3 Do not let loyal love and faithfulness leave you. Tie them around your neck; Write them on the tablet of your heart; 4 Then you will find favor and good empathy In the eyes of God and man."
(3:3-4): Next, loyal love and faithfulness are to affect everything we say, and are to be written on our hearts, affecting our very motives in all we do. Faithfulness inspires us to be persons of integrity, practicing God's righteousness, being true to Him under trial and test, recalling that "God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation He will make the way out in order for you to be able to endure it." (1Corinthians 10:13). Proverbs 20:6 says "Many men proclaim their loyal love, but who can find a faithful man?" Let's appreciate both: true loyal love and faithfulness, to God and others. One reward is you "will find favor and good empathy in the eyes of God and man."
"5 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."
(3:5-6): A favorite verse of many. Look for God's direction, through his word and prayer, not simply relying on our past experience or our own understanding of things. We should be ready to adjust our thinking when we see good reason for doing so, especially when the truth from God's word corrects us. Jehovoe, by his word, can make our paths straight, helping us remain on the road of eternal life, without turning to the right or left. In 'all of our ways,' or in everything we do, we are to humbly seek God's direction, His way of doing things. How we benefit from God's wise guidance!
"7 Do not become wise in your own eyes. Fear Jehovoe and turn away from bad. 8 It will be a healing to your body And refreshment for your bones."
(3:7-8): By humbling ourselves and seeking God's direction, fearing to displease Him, we avoid pridefully relying on ourselves, and seeking our own glory, leading to selfishness or self-centeredness. "Turning away from bad" may include such things as avoiding forms of idolatry. For instance, we may have favorite actors or actresses, and enjoy watching an occasional show they appear in. Let's delight in the good ways they may act or speak, realizing that God is the ultimate Source of such wisdom! Also, a true star that honors God does not go out of his or her way to seek glory for oneself. Seeking God's honor, representing Him, we should unselfishly seek true love, having concern for others and their welfare, and reap true happiness in life.

Proverbs 3:9-12:
"9 Honor Jehovoe with your valuable things, With the firstfruits of all your produce; 10 Then your storehouses will be completely filled, And your vats will overflow with new wine. 11 My son, do not reject the discipline of Jehovoe, And do not loathe his reproof, 12 For those whom Jehovoe loves he reproves, Just as a father does a son in whom he delights."
"9 Honor Jehovoe with your valuable things, With the firstfruits of all your produce; 10 Then your storehouses will be completely filled, And your vats will overflow with new wine."
(3:9-10) - We want to have a good name with God. He rewards those who put His name ahead of their own. At John 7:18 Jesus 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 unrighteousness in him." Who is worthy of more honor--we ourselves? some superstar? or Jehovoe the Creator? We may have talents and possessions, valuable things, material and spiritual. Let us seek to honor Jehovoe with such things, by giving Him our best effort to obey Him, loving Him and our neighbor. We will thus receive the blessing of Jehovoe on our efforts. Proverbs 10:22 says "It is the blessing of Jehovoe that makes one rich, and He adds no pain with it." It is fine to desire a good reputation. May we prosper, at least spiritually, in some ways materially, by putting God's name ahead of our own, having His blessing, while we trust God to safeguard our own name with Him.
"11 My son, do not reject the discipline of Jehovoe, And do not loathe his reproof, 12 For those whom Jehovoe loves he reproves, Just as a father does a son in whom he delights."
(3:11-12) - God's love is manifest in receiving His loving correction and guidance. Some often link discipline with punishment. Recall, however, the term "discipline" comes from the same root as "disciple". Did Jesus go around punishing his disciples? Or did he lovingly correct and train them? Yes, discipline primarily involves loving correction and readjustment. Punishment may be necessary, at times, but love should be the clear motive, and the lesson(s) should be made understandable if possible, as well as how to avoid such punishment in the future. Also, by studying God's word personally, we may discipline ourselves before ever needing it from others. Another aspect of training is another scriptural term, "admonition." This involves training with good guidance, apart from discipline. Lovingly guiding your children when they've done nothing wrong, can build such a bond of trust and affection between parents and their offspring. Ephesians 6:4 says "And fathers, do not be irritating your children, but go on bringing them up in the discipline and admonition of Jehovoe." This is primarily what's being encouraged at Deuteronomy 6:4-9, which says, by God's inspiration: "“Listen, O Israel: Jehovoe our God is one Jehovoe. 5 You must love Jehovoe your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength. 6 These words that I am commanding you today must be on your heart, 7 and you must inculcate them in your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as a reminder on your hand, and they must be like a headband on your forehead. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." Thus may we show our love for our children by the way we guide, teach, train, and correct them for their everlasting happiness and welfare!

Proverbs 3:13-18:
"13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom And the man who acquires discernment; 14 To gain it is better than gaining silver, And having it as profit is better than having gold. 15 It is more precious than corals; Nothing you desire can compare to it. 16 Long life is in its right hand; Riches and glory are in its left hand. 17 Its ways are pleasant, And all its paths are peaceful. 18 It is a tree of life to those who take hold of it, And those who keep firm hold of it will be called happy."
"13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom And the man who acquires discernment;"
(3:13) Wisdom is the ability to successfully apply divine knowledge for the true or lasting benefit of others and oneself. Discernment sees the difference between things, such as between a minor irritation that moves one to find a solution to the pressing problem or see how to cope with it, and full-blown anger that is a violation of Christian self-control and gentle Christian mildness, that interferes with clear thinking and causes hurt feelings, and that may even provoke the serious sin of reviling another. True Christians are to manifest self-control and refuse to allow anger to escalate to an extreme level. They learn to quickly channel the energy of irritation into efforts to think through and fix the problem or see how to cope with it, as mentioned.
"14 To gain it is better than gaining silver, And having it as profit is better than having gold. 15 It is more precious than corals; Nothing you desire can compare to it. 16 Long life is in its right hand; Riches and glory are in its left hand."
(3:14-16) True wisdom leads its owner to everlasting life in true peace and happiness, something that money cannot buy. Have you yet come to experience the genuine joy associated with having true wisdom? It brings us close to God and to other devoted ones of integrity, in a bond of trust, unity, and brotherly affection. This brings such spiritual security, happiness and delightful experiences that cannot be compared to any other desirable thing. It increases the beauty and joy associated with other wholesome desires, giving meaning to life, making enjoyment more delightful. And such delights may continue into an endless future, bringing much spiritual wealth, honor, and at least eventually, material prosperity.
"17 Its ways are pleasant, And all its paths are peaceful. 18 It is a tree of life to those who take hold of it, And those who keep firm hold of it will be called happy"
(3:17-18) True wisdom is the way to enjoy life in peace as it was meant to be enjoyed, knowing how to get along with others peacefully. Can you imagine a life in which every neighbor is a true friend and not only loves peace, but truly deals peaceably with one another? All the ways of true wisdom thus seek lasting peace. Such peace and pleasantness may be fully experienced when as many as possible will have learned to live in such a way, in harmony with God's loving will and purpose! Many who once fought as enemies have learned true wisdom largely through Christian teachings and examples, and have become true friends! As 2Peter 3:9 says: "Jehovoe is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to perish but desires all to attain to repentance." Even now, gaining true wisdom can result in inner peace and contentment, helping us deal peaceably often even with unpeaceable warmongers. Such wisdom ultimately results in true happiness and God's GIFT of eternal life. Romans 6:23 says: "For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord."

Proverbs 3:19-26:
"19 Jehovoe founded the earth in wisdom. He solidly established the heavens in discernment. 20 By his knowledge the watery deeps were split apart And the cloudy skies dripped with dew. 21 My son, do not lose sight of them. Safeguard practical wisdom and thinking ability; 22 They will give you life And be an adornment for your neck; 23 Then you will walk on your way in safety, And your foot will never stumble. 24 When you lie down, you will have no fear; You will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant. 25 You will not fear any sudden terror Nor the storm that is coming on the wicked. 26 For Jehovoe will prove to be your source of confidence; He will keep your foot from being caught."
"19 Jehovoe founded the earth in wisdom. He solidly established the heavens in discernment. 20 By his knowledge the watery deeps were split apart And the cloudy skies dripped with dew."
Prove 3:19-20 Just ponder the wisdom with which Jehovoe God made not only this earth and all that is within and on it, but also our sun, the other stars in this galaxy and countless others in this universe, and any other planets, which are being found surrounding other stars in habitable zones, or distance ranges allowing for continued life. Can we not appreciate God's willingness to share divine wisdom with mere humans? (James 1:5-6). Not only does God know how to create and sustain life among humans, but of much more importance to Him is knowing how to help all to have a close relationship with Him and with other humans--to help us find joy knowing God and in living peaceably with others. God's ability to discern truth from false, good from bad, more important matters from lesser ones, among other things, assisted Him in His creative work and understanding in the way He made us, making it possible for us to delight in His good gifts in life (James 1:16-17).
"21 My son, do not lose sight of them. Safeguard practical wisdom and thinking ability;"
Prove 3:21 We are to safeguard these qualities, letting no one or thing interfere with our developing and maintaining full use of them. Practical wisdom is skillful use of knowledge, putting it to good use, or using it to accomplish good things, truly benefitting others and oneself, hating all badness in the genuine fear of God. Ability to think through a matter, to see various ways to approach a situation, and to come up with the most helpful way to handle it, also is a quality worthy of protection. May we thus treasure divine wisdom and thinking ability, in modest imitation of our God and Creator, with humble appreciation for, and submission to, Him, in awe fearing to displease or hurt Him in any way.
"22 They will give you life And be an adornment for your neck;"
Prove 3:22 We will thus be on the road to eternal life, and the words coming through our throat can be lovely before others, rooted in love and appreciation for our God, who is the Source of, and sets the example in, true love, "the flame of Jah." (Canti 8:6).
"23 Then you will walk on your way in safety, And your foot will never stumble."
Prove 3:23 God's wisdom as mentioned previously, includes also foresighted shrewdness, or prudence, enabling us to look ahead at the consequences of our speech and actions, that we may hate what is bad, and it's resulting trouble, pain, and sorrow, and continue loving what is good, with its rewards and blessing from God. By considering God's wisdom before we act, we can thereby see to avoid many hardships and troubles, walking in safety, loving God's protective law, now through Christ. For such ones, God's word says, "Nothing can make them stumble." (Psalm 119:165).
"24 When you lie down, you will have no fear; You will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant. 25 You will not fear any sudden terror Nor the storm that is coming on the wicked. 26 For Jehovoe will prove to be your source of confidence; He will keep your foot from being caught."
Prove 3:24-26 Letting Jehovoe be our source of confidence, rather than merely human power, oneself or our own understanding of things, maintaining our love for, and reliance on, God, will bring His blessing and approval, and true spiritual security, practically eliminating fear as our love for God and others grows. "There is no fear in love, but perfect (complete) love casts fear out, because fear restrains us. Indeed, the one who is fearful has not been made perfect in love." (1John 4:18). Such complete love, for example, deals with others impartially, without prejudice, upholding what is right toward another regardless of their economic standing, social status, race, color, etc.

Proverbs 3:27-30:
"27 Do not withhold good from those to whom you should give it If it is within your power to help. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go away; come back later! I will give it to you tomorrow, ”If you can give it now. 29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor When he lives in a sense of security with you. 30 Do not quarrel with a man for no reason If he has done nothing bad to you."
"27 Do not withhold good from those to whom you should give it If it is within your power to help. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go away; come back later! I will give it to you tomorrow, ”If you can give it now."
Prove 3:27-28 Goodness is part of the "fruitage of the spirit" mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23 which we can ask God for in prayer, in accord with Luke 11:13, Jesus saying if one knows "how to give good gifts to [his] children, how much more so will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those asking Him!" Therefore, practicing "goodness" would involved what's described in this verse 27. If we see someone in need that we discern or judge we should assist, then by all means render aid! God's word itself helps us to be "fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." (2Timo 3:17). And Galatians 6:10 encourages us, "as long as we have the opportunity, let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith." Thus we do place a priority on our spiritual "family," and this should include members of our literal family! Husbands and fathers are mandated in Scripture to provide for the needs of their families, and by all means this would include caring for their spiritual needs, loving them, offering them loving guidance as needed to grow in true wisdom and their relationships with God and others. (1Timo 5:8). At the same time, we should also appreciate the worldwide Christian brotherhood that God and Christ are making, as Jesus described at Luke 8:21, saying "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it." Therefore, may we help our family spiritually to find the path of life, not hold back in assisting our remaining spiritual family worldwide, and then "work what is good toward all."
"Do not plot harm against your neighbor When he lives in a sense of security with you."
Prove 3:29 True faith is going to be the foundation of God's new world--eventually all people will be true friends with each other, being able to trust God and hopefully one another! Imagine traveling the world, finding genuine friends everywhere you go! Some would have us keep the world as it is, full of suspicion, greed, selfishness and the like. How obscene to ignore God's wonderful purpose for mankind, God having the power to fix all of these problems! This verse contains an example of one really trusting another, living "in a sense of security with you." How could we violate that trust by plotting harm against him? We should be careful not to take advantage of one another's trust, always seeking the genuine benefit of each other. Those seeking to advance business interests can do so with proper motive, without coming across as merely seeking selfish gain, refusing to let competition drive them. Look to benefit others by what is available, while not putting undue pressure upon them.
"Do not quarrel with a man for no reason If he has done nothing bad to you."
Prove 3:30 Along the same lines, we should be careful to maintain a loving, appreciative spirit toward others, especially if they have done no wrong to us! The Scriptures warn us, at Ecclesiastes 7:9, "Do not be quick to take offense, for the taking of offense lodges in the bosom of fools." If we have a tendency to be easily offended by what others say, we may be quick to quarrel with them. Let's be careful: Proverbs 1:7 says "Only fools despise wisdom and discipline." Perhaps discipline has not always been administered in the loving, compassionate way that Jesus demonstrated toward his own "disciples", the word "discipline" coming from the same root word, involving correction out of love. Thus most correction can be given without causing needless embarassment. Yet we should still try to appreciate the lessons needing to be learned from any discipline we may receive, and seek to grow in true wisdom. Try to appreciate correction offered by others to the extent possible, without much arguing with them. Sometimes, we really need it, but the more we consider God's word, and learn to readjust ourselves, gaining more self-discipline, we will need as much correction from others.

PROVERBS COMMENTARY
Proverbs 3:31-35
“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. 33 The curse of Jehovoe is on the house of the wicked one, But he blesses the home of the upright. 34 For he mocks those who ridicule, But he shows favor to the meek. 35 The wise will inherit honor, But the mischievous ones glorify dishonor.”
“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."
Prove 3:31-32 We are not to envy, or desire what the violent man has, materially or spiritually, possessions or talents. Verse 32 shows this “violent” man is also devious, so we’re not simply talking about athletes who happen to be able to take a lot of pain in their sport. The “violent man” mentioned here deviates from a right course and loves his forceful, destructive ways, usually taking no true delight in gentle mildness, a manner of life for true Christians. We are not to seek to emulate such a man, or choose any of his ways or practices. Normally Jehovoe hates WHAT is bad, but in this case God’s word says Jehovoe “hates anyone who loves violence”—How serious! (Psalm 11:5). Caution is in order regarding the realism of most modern movies, music and video games when it comes to promoting violence--what does the work in question teach about violence--that it should only be used for right by those with authority to do so when necessary, or that it may be used wantonly for selfish purposes? Youths are especially impressionable, and at risk for adopting violent behaviors by involving themselves with such choices of so-called entertainment. Certainly there are many finer options that can be chosen! If possible, don’t limit yourself to a few games available at a local store, unless they carry several good choices. Try to find sources that carry many enjoyable, God-approved options in all forms of entertainment, recreation, and education.
"33 The curse of Jehovoe is on the house of the wicked one, But he blesses the home of the upright. 34 For he mocks those who ridicule, But he shows favor to the meek."
Prove 3:33-34 Which would we rather experience—the curse of Jehovoe, or His blessing? How happy we may be when acting wisely in harmony with godly truth and right ways, having Jehovoe’s favor upon us, humbly seeking His powerful assistance in doing good. The wicked often ridicule the doing of what is good and right, trying to make it seem or appear weak, ineffective, or somehow not beneficial. How unfitting! At Isaiah 5:20 God responds: “20 Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good, Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” May we rather treasure the truth, and help all to appreciate the good, lovely, and marvelous ways of Jehovoe! If wicked ones refuse to repent of their errors, despite Jehovoe’s loving appeals, their harmful ways will come back on them. Isaiah 3:11 says: “11 Woe to the wicked one! Disaster will befall him, For what his hands have done will be done to him!” May such warnings move one to turn around from bad ways and practices, in God’s mercy, and experience true happiness with God’s blessing.
"35 The wise will inherit honor, But the mischievous ones glorify dishonor.”
Prove 3:35 As a result of pursuing God’s ways, seeking true wisdom and to represent Him well, honoring Jehovoe by the way we speak and live, we will experience honor from Him that will continue into eternity. Ironically, the mischievous ones, while often seeking to glorify, and give or demand honor for, themselves actually glorify dishonor, as their corrupt ways and practices are not worthy of such honor or esteem, and bring them shame or disgrace. Such ones need to acquire an understanding heart, to see the big picture as to reasons for practicing right and hating what’s bad, seeing ill consequences of badness—the troubles, turmoil, grief, pain, sadness and more caused by sin. Then perhaps such ones may begin to respond to or take to heart the loving discipline from parents and others.

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

(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!

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!

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.

Notes, Formatting NOTES: (25d.515 Slv, f526 Mon 1:56, 9:41; 10:23 am; 3:41; 6:29 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! 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!

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.
