TUE (10:33,58; 11:11,23,28,35,40 am; 1:30; 2:04 pm) Hello, wishing all well! I apologize for the delay--soon more Proverbs Commentary, chapter 18. NOTE: Somewhat recently it was found that the true meaning of Christ's name could acceptably be in the form of Josha', meaning "Jehovoe is Salvation," with "Jo" representing God, and "sha" indicating "Salvation." With the accent preferred on the last syllable, Josha' is with correct meaning and more readily pronounced in the English language, possibly aiding the young, with the true name being increasingly preferred over the name Jesus, which evidently was given him in mockery by Caesar, with the meaning "He makes wet." However, it has now been proven agreeable to God that due to changed circumstances, THE most accurate names of both God and Christ in English may be used--best Jehovoe' (as in GEO-VOE') and JEOHSHA' (as in GEO-SHA'). This is acceptably the most natural to say in English while preserving the properly accented last syllable. You should see that both are three syllables. Of course, in writ or print these need not be in all caps. Also, with the silent H these would be seven letters in length, eight characters when concluding with the accent mark. Notice again the accent on the final syllable of each name, which should be the preferable pronunciation by the capable. With God's blessing, use of these names would be met with joy by many sincere Christians looking to have these personal names restored to Christian discussions, esp. in many of their preferred Bible translations.

2020 ELECTION--FINDING TRUTH, UPDATED
Have you ever tried to solve a puzzling case, 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 may have recently claimed to have won the election, which earlier claims did allow legal cases surrounding the election results to reach the significant number of 1 million, and which is to alert us to carefully investigate, 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 some knowing of me, considering me a political rival. But the law allowed for my situation, and basically said 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 am rightly qualified, along with others, most already in the current administration, 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 my receiving a large number of mail-in votes, but which I believe had been unjustly redistributed between the other two candidates, possibly some being unsure whether I was truly qualified. But I was! 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 should, but hate to mention, that spells were being cast, which shouldn't be used, often hurting aims of peace, and which we have worked to subdue, as their usage is not blessed by God.
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.

Safeguarding Life--Both Mother and Child
R03.830 still without {Inserts}
JUST RULING. The recent Supreme Court ruling has reaffirmed the right of a child, yet unborn, to live, encouraging his or her dear mother to nourish and nurture that child and herself to a happy and healthy birth. Even if, for a time, that child must be placed in the arms of another loving family, it is hoped the mother aims to prepare and ready herself for the privilege and joy of resuming or supporting, at some time, the nurturing of the child to become adult. She has the right to loving motherhood, but of course it is the choice of each woman to desire the capability of raising her child(ren) well.
MOTHERHOOD. Becoming a mother in the fullest sense is not beyond the reach of most if not all women, despite current circumstances. God's word offers valuable insight and instruction that can develop this ability inside even a young woman, and much instruction that is based on such godly wisdom is also available. In fact, apart from God, this task would be much more difficult. God has created us to need his guidance, which we may receive freely. Psalm 127:1 of Bible record says this: "Unless Jehovoe himself builds the house, It is to no avail that its builders have worked hard on it." Notice how God wants us to see our children: Verse 3 continues: "Look! Sons are an inheritance from Jehovoe; The fruitage of the belly is a reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the sons of youth. 5 Happy is the able-bodied man that has filled his quiver with them. They will not be ashamed, For they will speak with enemies in the gate."
UNSETTLING CONDITIONS. It is important, however, to realize and include in laws regarding the process of pregnancy, that certain conditions still exist that can, only occasionally in certain circumstances, threaten the life of the mother to give birth. God is not to blame, as God's truthful wisdom and the sanctity of life have often been ignored, resulting in some foods not being as nourishing as they otherwise would be, the sometimes unwise use of certain chemicals and drugs that have proven harmful, and other factors, affecting such things as weakening the uterine wall, for instance. This condition is quite serious, and threatens the life of both mother and child. However, we believe tests exist for practically all such conditions, and in most circumstances, pollutants can be halted, and nutritional or other treatments also exist to hopefully remedy the problem so as to be able to continue the progression of birth without harm to the mother. Not all respond to such treatments the same though, and if ineffective, it is not impossible that a decision might have to be made to sadly end the pregnancy to preserve the lives of both mother and child, but with appeal to God, who can restart the pregnancy in the future. It is believed that these treatments can be attempted early enough in the pregnancy to avoid any consideration of {post-threshold or even} late-term mutilating abortion, which is an extreme trauma to a trusting baby beyond imagination, which no mother would ever approve of who truly understands what is taking place, and must no longer be tolerated. {The Reversal of Roe-Wade has greatly diminished such heartbreaking calamities.}
A TEST AT 12 WEEKS. It is now understood by many that between 14 and 16 weeks is the pain threshold, the time at which pain may be felt by the growing baby. As mentioned above, there are some conditions that should be tested for, that involve even the life of both baby and mother. At least one of these is necessary at 12 weeks, such as the test for the integrity or constitution of the uterine wall, and if there's a problem, treatment can immediately begin for 1 week. A return at 13 weeks can determine response to treatment, and if not effective, a stronger treatment can be applied, as well as an appeal to God for His guidance and assistance. The return at 14 weeks is then crucial to determine whether or not a pregnancy may be terminated without pain to the baby, still with God being able to restart the pregnancy at a future time when the health of the mother is suitable for carrying the child to birth, having no memory of any past termination. This two-week time frame between 12 and 14 weeks should be carefully guarded and recognized as very significant in determining the life of both mother and baby. {However, as may be expected, God Himself is fully capable of safeguarding such things for the health of both mother and baby--prayers to Him throughout the pregnancy could greatly diminish any disparaging results from such tests}. Despite promotion of a 15 week threshold, there is evidence that some drugs or other factors can shorten this to sometime between 14 and 15 weeks. Therefore 14 weeks should become understood as the Standard. With appeal to Him, God can ensure that the pain threshold is beyond 14 weeks, so that a terrorizing mutilation felt by a trusting child can be avoided at all costs, which could ruin his or her future life, and a restart of the pregnancy under God's Kingdom is wonderfully made possible!
REWARDING LIFE. Nevertheless, as the health of all generally increases under the loving rulership of God's Son, with improved breadth of nourishment, and replacement of all harmful chemical pollutants with more effective and healthful alternatives, such grievous circumstances will gradually subside, and life may become as God intended, bringing genuine happiness to mankind, developing greater peace gradually with the application of God's loving instruction. May all look to God, with hope in His blessing, on a rewarding life ahead!
HELP FROM ABOVE. It should be mentioned that, with understanding of these things, faith in God early in the pregnancy can assist in finding provisions and guidance that may prove beneficial to both mother and child. In most cases what is needed or helpful may be found. Still there are many with limited resources and/or health disorders. Trust God and ask for help. Another article under this segment is posted on my 2022 December blogpost under segment 1 entitled Considering Adoption over Abortion. This even lists some foods that offer additional nourishment for many expecting mothers. R03.830

GOLDEN APPLES
Considering Adoption over Abortion
Psalm 139:16 "Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts were written in your book Regarding the days when they were formed, Before any of them existed."
Psalm 127:1a,3 "Unless Jehovoe builds the house, It is in vain that its builders work hard on it...Look! Sons are an inheritance from Jehovoe; The fruit of the womb is a reward."
ABORTION? With the topic of Abortion in the news recently, how fine to reflect upon some of the reasons this became an issue in the first place. Some (not all) were lacking some regard for God and His involvement, as in His provision of marriage and the family unit, as so significant in the stability of society. Two important factors were claims that God was not even involved or interested in mankind's activities, and lacking the true understanding or purpose of engagement, understanding God's arrangement, as a potentially intimate though long-distance (limited or no direct contact) provision (without pregnancy risk) en-route to determination of a good and happy marriage, looking forward to such. The effects of some pharmaceutical drugs, chemicals from some cigarettes and even some food products, etc. have had undesirable effects on fertility. This, along with other factors may have interfered with the normal provisions of God regarding whether or not conception occurs. God desires to bless couples, and assist with their timing of a child and it's gender, but many have not realized this. For married couples, there is a completely natural method for preventing pregnancy, and even some pharmaceuticals can be effective. Also, many good women have not had access to the health care and nutritious foods that others have had, and thus have been concerned about the health and normalcy of the resulting child, and at times, the health of the mother through the pregnancy. If conception has occurred, however, in God's eyes this child is a life, which should be considered sacred, just as King David reflected upon his own conception, when presumably no one had any idea who or what he would become! (Psalm 139:13-16). A woman who has thought about abortion but may consider what is best for the child, respecting the rights of the unborn child as much as her own, should have access to images of the unborn and be reassured of her respect for life as she chooses to protect it.
MIRACLE OF BIRTH. The miracle of birth should underscore God's right to guide our lives, and a child should be considered just as much God's as our own, to be raised with respect to God's law and with His love. If, however, a woman has conceived, such as through rape, or some cases of incest, and is not wishing to be responsible for raising the child upon it's birth, can she not still be encouraged to give up the child for good foster care and adoption, and have genuine assistance for her pregnancy, including exceptional nourishment, so as to have the best opportunity to be of good health, and deliver a healthy child in a healthy way? She may still be able to be aware, from time to time, on the child's progress, as most children will prove grateful for their life and wish at some point, to get to know the biological parents who protected him or her during pregnancy. Below is a list of proven delicious and nourishing foods, meals, or snacks that can assist a healthy pregnancy and could be possibly considered by various food banks as worthy foods to provide for an expecting mother. Such a pregnancy and birth should be so enlightening and rewarding to a young woman.
Spir-Vanilla Malted Milkshake: Milk & Natural vanilla ice cream or a little raw honey and a true cane sugar to sweeten, and including nonfat dry milk powder and 1/2-1 tsp of Spirulina powder.
Sweet works Oatmeal: Oatmeal fixed as on package of Quaker oats, with unsalted butter, raw honey, brown sugar, half and half, walnuts and/or pecans, almonds, raisins or craisins, and perhaps maple syrup.
Cold cereal, (preferably a selection with NO inorganic calcium carbonate used as a supposed calcium boost) might also be of value, especially with bananas and perhaps raisins, and possibly Flax seed meal or Wheat germ for a nourishing boost.
Fruit Smoothies, with 1 Tsp-1 TB Flax oil
Sliced Apples and Bananas, perhaps canned peaches, possibly with raisins and craisins, and/or Banana Bread
Celery sticks with Almond butter
Salads with walnuts and pumpkin or sunflower seeds, with craisins and good dressing, such as Ranch or Catalina. Add whole grain breads, muffins, etc. with unsalted butter and wholesome jams.
Whole or Frozen Potatoes (instead of Tots use Crinkle Fries), fixed numerous ways.
Healthy meats and other foods may also contribute much to a healthy pregnancy.
Whole Rice combines well with Chicken or Legumes for complete protein.
Above are More Calming Alkaline Food and Protein Choices, Below Less Balancing but still Healthful Options.
____
Healthy eggs prepared as desired, with shells washed/treated as if for Salmonella
Potatoes may also combine well with Eggs.
Kefir
Evidently Organic corn (not grown on Atrazine-contaminated soil*) works well with meats like Beef, Pork, and Turkey.
By replacing less nutritious choices with foods like these, more nourishment can come to mother and baby. This is just a supportive list--consult your doctor for your specific needs nutritionally through the terms of your pregnancy.
* Farmers having such soil may in the future use it for growing Soybeans for Plastics processing only, or for Sugar cane (which can be processed differently for exceptionally nutritious ground sugar).

Update 23/625 corrections on acceptable black pepper.
PEPPER SPICE MIX
The segment on Pepper Spice Mix below has been added to the Coronavirus Relief Plan Page, found on the Home page or here:
One of the hallmarks of this segment, by scripture, is the proverb at 22:3:
"The (foresighted) prudent one sees the danger and conceals himself..."
Not long ago it was reported that even in the U.S., more worldwide, there were still hundreds dying of COVID daily--Here is one simple way to help all of us to lessen this danger, at least somewhat. Some spice mixes like this one can really save some lives--not all have had effective vaccines or their booster--let's do what we can so ourselves or our neighbors may have more protection from potential harm, at least until the danger has subsided. This mixture has been modified slightly to be even more powerful and possibly life-saving!
PEPPER SPICE MIX, etc.: At this time of spotty Coronavirus presence, there a few simple things that can help everyone to stave this off and get back on track to conquering this threat to our lives, health, and quality of life. When you're at a restaurant, if going in with a facemask, right now even if vaccinated and boosted, you may remove it when you receive a drink to begin drinking. It has been found that if someone is either EATING or DRINKING something at least once every minute, there is a GREATLY REDUCED transmission rate of coronavirus, but still honor requirements of the restaurant and locally. A NOTE on BLACK PEPPER--It has been found that adding black pepper to a dish, like some other spices, can combat coronavirus within a person's body--but only if it has been fermented properly, without a fungus like Aspergillus Niger, which has been actually contributing to susceptibility to Coronavirus. The fungal strain Saccharomyces Boulardii promotes human health, and the familiar spice brand McCormick is one of those recommended. Why not beseech God in prayer as to whether the available pepper is acceptable, and if unsure, just leave it out. This applies just as well to the following formula, though the other powerful spices likely overcome the issue. Here is a spice mix you can use at home, or possibly take with you. One HIGHLY EFFECTIVE combination is PAPRIKA with TURMERIC and BLACK PEPPER (NOT WHITE PEPPER), then smaller amounts of both CINNAMON and GROUND CLOVES spice, half and half, each one tenth the amount of each of the other spices, the cinnamon being the most important of the two, in total a 5:5:5:1 mixture. In other words, equal amounts of the first three, then 1/5 that amount of the combination of both Cinnamon (adding potent anti-germ activity and Cloves spice (a pungent spice that may be needed to protect from parasitic infection, which may be as much as about 10% involvement in current coronavirus infections). Do not discount how powerful this combination truly can be. **I NOW RECOMMEND ADDING ONION POWDER AS A FLAVOR ENHANCER, at double the amount of paprika, etc. Thus the total ratios would be 10:5:5:5:1.** If you wish, you may add Light Brown (Cane) Sugar, about half of the total volume of the spice mix--it doesn't lessen the effectiveness, but could increase caking a little, so only use if the holes are large enough. With larger holes to sprinkle, you could add the brown sugar up to equal parts spice and sugar. You should find the flavor agreeable in proper amounts, when used on many dishes, esp. combined with dressings, etc. If you don't have any of these spices on hand, please acquire what you are missing. Use this on pasta dishes, potatoes, meat, vegetables or whatever dish you can deem appropriate. One more, even if none of these are available, GARLIC and garlic powder are also powerfully antiviral and can make a difference as well. You may also find CRUSHED RED PEPPER available in some restaurants, and like garlic, it can be effective against the virus. And at home, any CURRY POWDER may also prove helpful. Ref. R03.813

College Admissions Supreme Court Ruling--Race No Factor
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!"
Many will recognize these words by Martin Luther King, Jr. from his 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech. He did much to lead the Civil Rights Movement from the 1950's, protesting racial segregation without violence.
This was the third of five "I have a dream" statements near the conclusion of that speech.
The U.S. Supreme Court, on June 29, 2023 ruled that Colleges and Universities are not to consider race in their determinations of School Entrants. While this did frustrate some proponents of Affirmative Action, a law that required intention that persons of minority races be included in a school's entrance class, it nevertheless paves the way for good and capable students to be selected regardless of race.
This struck a chord with fans of Martin Luther King, Jr., recalling his 1963 speech, that persons be judged, not "by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Does the new ruling still allow for persons of minority races to qualify at good schools? On this matter, are there other considerations of racial prejudice and diversity? What about College readiness and preparedness, regardless of race? How might college and university admissions standards and considerations properly adjust to the new ruling, or improve in fairness, including toward those who may be very intelligent despite a lower GPA than some?
I intend such questions or matters be the subject of a Come to Consensus Corner article/policy in the near future.

This is an earlier piece, posted and podcasted from February of 2021. I believe at the time a few were effective at suppressing this information. We might think of this as drawing attention to an imperfect situation still needing correction.

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

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.

NAMES OF GOD AND CHRIST
Somewhat recently it was found that the true meaning of Christ's name could acceptably be in the form of Josha', meaning "Jehovoe is Salvation," with "Jo" representing God, and "sha" indicating "Salvation." With the accent preferred on the last syllable, this name is with correct meaning and more readily pronounced in the English language, possibly aiding the young, with the true name being increasingly preferred over the name Jesus, which evidently was given him by Caesar, with the meaning "He makes wet." Due to changed circumstances, God is agreeable as THE most accurate names of both Him and His Son in English are uncovered--but note there are two ways that the most preferred pronunciation could be written. In the case of God, being pronounced GEO-VOE', this could be Jehovoe'
(acceptably pronounced with or without the 'h'). With the possibility of a silent 'h' however, and still accent on the final syllable, JEHOVOE' retains similarity to a form of God's name familiar to many for centuries, and could be pronounced preferably GEO-VOE' or still acceptably GEEHO-VOE'. It would be similar with the name of God's Son--as mentioned above, Josha' (JO-SHA') is acceptable, even preferred in some circles, and the name most similar to it's Hebrew counterpart is Jehosha', pronounced GEO-SHA' or GEEHO-SHA'. This is thus spelled JEHOSHA', and preferably pronounced without the 'h', or acceptably with it. Formerly, it was emphasis on best pronunciation that led to switching 'HO' to 'OH', but with the optional silence of the 'h', this switch is not necessary, and is much more agreeable to read and write, for both young and old. You should see that both complete names from Hebrew are three syllables. Of course, in writ or print these need not be in all caps. Also, with the H (silent or not) these would both be seven letters in length, eight characters when concluding with the accent mark. Notice again the accent on the final syllable of each name, which should be the preferable pronunciation by the capable. Again, the most correct translations to English are JEHOVOE' (God's Name) and JEHOSHA' (Christ's). With God's blessing, use of these names would be met with joy by many sincere Christians looking to have these personal names restored to Christian discussions, esp. in many of their preferred Bible translations.

104
Let me praise Jehovoe'.
O Jehovoe' my God, you are very great.
With majesty and splendor you are clothed.
2 You are wrapped in light as with a garment;
You stretch out the heavens like a tent cloth.
3 He lays beams of his upper rooms in the waters above,
Making the clouds his chariot,
Moving on the wings of the wind.
4 He makes his angels spirits,
His ministers a consuming fire.
5 He has established the earth on its foundations;
It will not be moved from its place* forever and ever.
6 You covered it with deep waters as with a garment.
The waters stood above the mountains.
7 At your rebuke they fled;
At the sound of your thunder they ran away in panic
8 —Mountains ascended and valleys descended—
To the place you established for them.
9 You set a boundary that they should not pass,
That they should never again cover the earth.
10 He sends springs into the valleys;
Between the mountains they flow.
11 They provide water for all the wild beasts of the field;
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Above them roost the birds of the sky;
They sing among the thick foliage.
13 He is watering the mountains from his upper rooms.
With the fruitage of your works the earth is satisfied.
14 He is making grass grow for the cattle
And vegetation for mankind’s use,
To grow food from the land
15 And wine that makes man’s heart rejoice,
Oil that makes the face shine,
And bread that sustains the heart of mortal man.
16 The trees of Jehovoe' are satisfied,
The cedars of Lebʹa·non that he planted,
17 Where the birds make nests.
The home of the stork is in the juniper trees.
18 The high mountains are for the mountain goats;
The crags are a refuge for the rock badgers.
19 He has made the moon to mark the appointed times;
The sun well knows when to set.
20 You bring darkness, and night falls,
When all the wild animals of the forest roam about.
21 The young lions roar for their prey
And seek their food from God.
22 When the sun rises,
They withdraw and lie down in their dens.
23 Man goes to his work,
And he labors until evening.
24 How many your works are, O Jehovoe'!
You have made all of them in wisdom.
The earth is full of what you have made.
25 There is the sea, so great and wide,
Teeming with countless living things, both small and great.
26 There the ships travel,
And Le·viʹa·than, which you formed to play in it.
27 All of them wait for you
To give them their food in its season.
28 What you give them, they gather.
When you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
29 When you hide your face, they are disturbed.
If you take away their spirit, they die and return to the dust.
30 If you send out your spirit, they are created,
And you renew the surface of the ground.
31 The glory of Jehovoe' will last forever.
Jehovoe' will rejoice in his works.
32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles;
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to Jehovoe' throughout my life;
I will sing praises* to my God as long as I live.
34 Let my thoughts be pleasing to him.
I will rejoice in Jehovoe'.
35 The sinners will vanish from the earth,
And the crooked will no longer exist.*
Let me praise Jehovoe'. Praise Joe!

_____(3) Proverbs Commentary
_____PC[1]
Proverbs 17:11-14:
"11 A bad man seeks only rebellion, But a cruel messenger will be sent to punish him. 12 Better to meet a bear bereaved of her cubs Than to encounter someone mischievous in his foolishness. 13 If anyone repays bad for good, Bad will not depart from his house. 14 Beginning a fight is like opening a floodgate; Before the quarrel breaks out, take your leave."
Pro17:11 Notice that the "bad man" seeks ONLY rebellion--this is not a case of right indignation against wrong or ungodly practices. God's new world will be one of "righteousness" and true "peace." The earth will be cleansed of evil, with practicers of such badness having opportunity before God to see their wrong and mend their ways. 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." May all right-hearted ones rejoice in what God is bringing about. As Psalm 46 proclaims: "Come and witness the activities of Jehovoe, How he has done astonishing things on the earth. He is bringing an end to wars throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the military wagons with fire."
"12 Better to meet a bear bereaved of her cubs Than to encounter someone mischievous in his foolishness."
Pro17:12 What a serious statement! The mischievous one often knows the right thing but is lacking the understanding to see it's value or importance, even life-saving. However, rather than seeking more understanding, this one brazenly exalts his foolishness. He has no sense of integrity. May such ones follow the advice of Jehovoe at Proverbs 2:1-5 and pray for divine wisdom, understanding, and discernment, thus learning to revere Jehovoe properly, giving Him due respect and reverence, viewing Him with awe as our Universal Creator and Life-giver, and coming to appreciate His life-giving counsel and guidance.
"13 If anyone repays bad for good, Bad will not depart from his house."
Pro17:13 Another serious statement! Are there those having such a practice of repaying bad for the good others may do? What an insensible response, with great disregard for the God of justice! May such ones repent, that God may show mercy, and end His judgement against their households.
"14 Beginning a fight is like opening a floodgate; Before the quarrel breaks out, take your leave."
Pro17:14 Gentle Christian mildness can defuse a tense situation when applied at the right time or in the right way. But if two or more have no such mindset, a quarrel may be nearly inevitable. Taking your leave when a quarrel is oncoming, is the wisest course, not to get involved in such a demoralizing experience.
_____PC[2]
Proverbs 17:15-20:
"15 Anyone who acquits the ungodly one and anyone who condemns the upright one—Both of them are detestable to Jehovoe. 16 What good is it that the mischievous one has the means to acquire wisdom When he has no heart for acquiring it? 17 A true friend shows love at all times And is a brother who is born for times of distress. 18 A man lacking good sense shakes hands and agrees To put up security in the presence of his neighbor. 19 The one who loves conflict loves transgression. Anyone who makes his entryway high invites a crash. 20 The one who is crooked at heart will not find success, And the one who speaks deceitfully will fall into ruin."
Pro17:15 How seriously does God take justice? Deuteronomy 32:4 says of Jehovoe: "4The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness who is never unjust; Righteous and honest is he." Jehovoe hates injustice, and the practice of bad, while loving people, typically even wrongdoers, hoping for their repentance. Injustice, esp. if commonplace, threatens the foundations of society. In this verse we find how God feels about someone who would release an evil person from proper judgement, as though he were innocent, and another causing an upright one to be unjustly punished. At Isaiah 5:20,23 God says: "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!...Those who acquit the ungodly for a bribe and who deny justice to the upright!" May we seek understanding of God's righteousness, that we may hate what is bad and love what is good, in harmony with godly wisdom. God would thus say, as at Proverbs 27:11: "Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, So that I can make a reply to him who taunts me." Our stand on the side of truth, justice and righteousness brings God great pleasure.
"16 What good is it that the mischievous one has the means to acquire wisdom When he has no heart for acquiring it?"
Pro17:16 The morally foolish one often knows the right thing but unwisely chooses against it. The proverbs laments that such a one could obtain godly wisdom while having "no heart," or "lacking good motive." He is not properly motivated, out of love for God with godly fear, or a healthy dread of displeasing God, and a love of neighbor. But the purpose of verses such as these found in God's word is not to condemn, but to correct! God loves us all, as He states at 2Peter 3:9, that He "does not desire anyone to be eliminated, but desires all to attain repentance." So while severe punishments exist, God wants all to be educated in the Lawl and it's right judgements, so that violations can be hated and avoided by all, wishing not to displease God, to hurt others nor suffer such punishment. This is helped by making clear the abundant evidence of God's wisdom, love, and power as can be seen all around us, that He be held in high esteem by all, willing to acknowledge the truth about Him and His insightful word. Using divine know-how with selfish motives--As the Proverb says, "What good is it" for this to happen? Let's aim to reach the heart of all students early on, to be properly motivated, with love as an aim, that knowledge can be used aright, honoring God for the benefit of society, rather than for it's downfall, with such dismal aims as greed, selfishness, egopride, and jealous contention.
"17 A true friend shows love at all times And is a brother who is born for times of distress."
Pro17:17 In contrast to one having "no heart," the true friend of Proverbs 17:17 has a true, deep, loyal love, eager to assist one experiencing "times of distress." Rather than fleeing those experiencing difficulty, he rather is made for helping such ones. Jehovoe sets the example for this, saying of Himself, at Isaiah 57:15b: "“I reside in the high and holy place, But also with those crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of those being crushed." May we strive for true love in our life, taking steps to obtain godly wisdom which true love acts in harmony with, making it possible for our desire to love others to be wisely directed, to do what is truly in others' best and lasting welfare.
"18 A man lacking good sense shakes hands and agrees To put up security in the presence of his neighbor."
Pro17:18 Proverbs such as this one shows we should be very careful before putting up security for a loan--it shouldn't be done just to "show off" any kindness toward others. How easy it could be to suffer financial losses in such circumstances! God's word repeatedly gives warning to be on guard. How much better for us and others to save for what we want wherever possible, rather than seeking loans, often with exorbitant interest. This practice can lead to greater and greater debt--eventually needing to be paid at great sacrifice! Let us be in the practice of saving, rather than borrowing.
"19 The one who loves conflict loves transgression. Anyone who makes his entryway high invites a crash."
Pro17:19 Loving conflict is out of harmony with the peace that God wants all mankind to enjoy, on the basis of genuine trust in God and all right-hearted humans. God's laws or Christian guidelines are set up to promote this genuine peace and associated happiness. Those loving violence and conflict, therefore, will tend to violate God's standards, sinning against God and others. Also, we would be wise to avoid flaunting any wealth we may have, as one unnecessarily 'making his entryway high.' This reflects unhealthy egopride in any sort of wealth we may possess, and as we know "Egopride is before a crash, and a haughty spirit before stumbling." (Prove 16:18). Proverbs 13:7 says "There is one who pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; There is another who pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth." In harmony with righteousness, however, this "pretending" would not go to the point of being overtly deceitful in speech or action.
"20 The one who is crooked at heart will not find success, And the one who speaks deceitfully will fall into ruin."
Pro17:20 Among the most important of qualities before God is humility and honest integrity. God loves and blesses such qualities including genuine honesty in speech, promoting trust between fellow right-hearted ones. Deceitful hearts will not find true success, despite what they are seeking. Deceitful speech, attempting to mislead others, leads only to "ruin." How much better to learn true wisdom and righteousness, learning to hold a course of integrity, loyal to God, which will have His blessing. Having God's blessing can make us truly successful in life, leading to the reward of eternal life.

PROVERBS COMMENTARY
Proverbs 17:21-25:
"21 The one who fathers a mischievous child will experience grief; And the father of a senseless child has no joy. 22 A joyful heart is good medicine, But a crushed spirit saps one’s strength. 23 An unworthy man will take a bribe in secret To pervert the course of justice. 24 Wisdom is directly in front of the discerning person, But the eyes of the mischievous wander to the ends of the earth. 25 A mischievous son brings grief to his father And heartache to the one who gave birth to him."
LOVINGLY CORRECT WRONG TENDENCIES! Pro17:21 May such "grief" move loving parents to take steps to correct any wrong tendencies in their child! It is "the fear of Jehovoe" that is the beginning of both divine knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, how does a child learn "the awe of Jehovoe?" Proverbs 2:1-5 outlines the steps to acquiring it, showing that both qualities of discernment and understanding are necessary. A person is to "call out" for such qualities--may parents and children alike petition Jehovoe to receive these! James 1:5,6 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..."
Discernment is vitally required for true wisdom. One needs to clearly see the difference between right and wrong, true and false, good and bad, wise and unwise, and lesser matters from more important ones. Find games that offer practice in reasoning on such things, or invent your own. Math and logic puzzles may be helpful, as well as deciphering words and statements. Using clues to solve riddles may be especially challenging, fun and beneficial, working powers of deduction. Some newer television Game shows can also be helpful.
Regarding the quality of understanding, Proverbs 17:10 says "A rebuke makes a deeper impression on one having understanding Than striking a mischievous person a hundred times." If a child needs understanding, the ability to see the big picture and all its pieces (especially of God's will for humans)--how pieces fit together to make the whole, explain the quality to him or her, and then practice this quality by going to a toy or hobby store and finding appropriate puzzles to work, and models to put together of something that interests the child. With puzzles, start "easy" with 25, 50 or 100 pieces. Once these are mastered, move up another 50. While going much higher is a greater challenge, I'm not sure that it adds much benefit to the thinking process, especially for younger children. The model would add the element of three dimensions--you may just need to help at first if glue is involved--teach caution with this if the child is old enough to use this on his or her own, or assist as needed--be sure safety precautions are understood! Also, with a model, the purpose of some parts may be more obvious, like a steering wheel, for instance, whereas other parts may allow for further explanation. Take advantage of the opportunity to enhance the understanding of the child.
Any child tending to make bad decisions should also be helped to see the harmful consequences of badness, learning foresighted shrewdness or prudence. This is so they may come to hate what is bad, as the "awesomeness of Jehovoe means the hating of bad." (Prove 8:13). Proverbs 22:3,4 say "3 The prudent one sees the danger and conceals himself, But the naive keep right on going and suffer the consequences. 4 The result of humility and the healthy fear of Jehovoe Is riches and glory and life." At Psalm 34:11, David is inspired to say: "Come, my sons, listen to me; I will teach you the godly fear of Jehovoe." Using this psalm as a basis, look for the article Revere God, Receive Divine Wisdom, on this website, regarding the learning of this healthy desire not to displease our loving Father, Jehovoe.
"22 A joyful heart is good medicine, But a crushed spirit saps one’s strength."
JOYFUL HEART. Pro17:22 Two contrasting circumstances, nearly all persons having experienced both. When one's spirit is crushed, how such a person needs comfort, hope, and encouragement! Romans 15:4 says "For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope." And 2Corinithians 1:3,4 says regarding Jehovoe: "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Josha'/Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God." So may we look to Jehovoe through prayer, as well as God's word and perhaps other spiritually-minded loved ones and friends if our spirits are low, pouring out our hearts primarily to Jehovoe, perhaps also to others, but being "quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger." (James 1:19). How fine when one is experiencing a "joyful heart," as this has proven to be "good medicine." People have been healed by appropriate laughter or spending time with someone genuinely joyful--perhaps we can find an upbuilding talk or speech that we enjoy listening to, or some fine comedy routine or particular show that may be one of our favorites. While we shouldn't foolishly laugh at everything people do or mistakes they make, we can try to see any humor in things that happen or things that we read or study, and collect some enjoyable jokes, puns, riddles, and so on that might come to mind or be shared when they need a lift. Doing so may help others maintain a positive, joyful outlook. May we not overlook, however, the deep-seated, genuine joy that comes from appreciating God and spiritual things, that may not always be evident by laughter, or a smiling face. Proverbs 14:13 says "Even in laughter the heart may feel pain, and rejoicing may end in grief." Thus loving and practicing what is right and good in the eyes of Jehovoe will bring His pleasure and blessing, and truly uplift others.
"23 A crooked man will take a bribe in secret To pervert the course of justice."
REJECT CORRUPTION, LOOK TO GOD. Pro17:23 Notice that such bribe-taking is practiced by the "crooked." We are not talking about lawful fees for services rendered. Rather, impartial, fair justice is not being practiced. People in positions of authority are wanting, or being coerced into accepting money to perform some favor for someone with the money, often to get around a rule, law, requirements, or "red tape" to get what they want as soon as possible. This discourages fair-minded respect for law, which can result in a disobedient, rebellious spirit among others. There is no need for this! Yes, we still have to put up with imperfection and be patient, showing understanding when things don't always go our way as influences of an old system of things may still be lingering. We can look forward to God's kingdom setting all matters right, and bringing the true peace and harmony that God intended for mankind. Even now, if there is too much "red tape" involved in a process, those in authority should take a look at simplification, to save precious time for those involved. For instance, how might information already obtained about someone be used to reduce the amount of paperwork necessary to get something done? Some states, for instance, have honed good procedures for accomplishing necessary tasks of their citizens, that other states or even the Federal government might perhaps benefit from. The same principles can be applied perhaps within the family or home. Look for ways to simplify necessary work, that so much time may not be spent needlessly. Still, may we show patience when it simply cannot be avoided.
"24 Wisdom is directly in front of the discerning person, But the eyes of the mischievous wander to the ends of the earth. 25 A mischievous son brings grief to his father And heartache to the one who gave birth to him."
GAINING DISCERNMENT. Pro17:24-25 Recall that the mischievous one often knows the right thing but does not do it, as if he or she doesn't appreciate that God is looking out for our happiness and welfare in giving us His lawls and guidelines, to protect us from unnecessary harm both spiritually and physically. Such a person is contrasted with a discerning one, who has pondered a little more, and discerns God's interest in us and that it is a matter of importance to obey Him. Thus, wisdom is in front of a discerning person, likely properly fearing God, and hating badness. The mischievous, however, with eyes wandering "to the ends of the earth," may be looking everywhere except where they are heading. Proverbs 4:25 says "Your eyes should look straight ahead, Yes, fix your gaze straight ahead of you." As children grow, help those with wandering, trivially curious eyes, to learn to appreciate the more important things to be considering, and to disregard things that are much less important. By doing what we can to assist those dangerously leaning toward badness, they may happily avoid bringing grief--instead happiness to parents and loved ones.

Proverbs 17:26-28:
“26 To punish the worthy one is not good, And to flog honorable people goes against what is right. 27 A man of knowledge restrains his words, And a discerning man will remain calm. 28 Even a fool who keeps silent will be considered wise, And the one who seals his lips, discerning.”
Pro17:26 People should come to see that pursuing righteousness leads to blessings even now! Surely blessings will come in God’s new world, under His Kingdom rule, where “righteousness is to dwell” (2Pete 3:13). But we want as many as possible especially now to appreciate the rewards that come from following a right path. Punishment and flogging are meant as disciplinary correction—surely to be intended for wayward and dishonorable ones, yet still out of love, for their long-term welfare. If those in authority at all care about the eternal lasting welfare of their citizens, then they may honor right-hearted ones pursuing the will of Jehovoe whole-souled!
"27 A man of knowledge restrains his words, And a discerning man will remain calm. 28 Even a fool who keeps silent will be considered wise, And the one who seals his lips, discerning.”
Pro17:27-28 Godly knowledge promotes peace, self-control or restraint, and the wisdom to know when not to speak. Along with this, the ability to truly discern between things such as the difference between reacting gently and angrily, enables one to maintain a gentle, calm demeanor. Having faith in God, one needn’t usually get bent out of shape over something, but can treat others with a mild gentleness that should pervade the life of a true Christian. We should be able to look ahead and generally foresee the end results of our reactions—for instance, “15 A mild answer turns away rage, But a harsh word stirs up anger.” (Prove 15:1). Thus, holding back our words and remaining calm can defuse an otherwise tense situation. May we continue to apply godly wisdom in our actions, and even affecting often our reactions, for the benefit of others and ourselves.

Proverbs 18:
"1 Whoever isolates himself pursues his own selfish desires; He rejects all practical wisdom. 2 A mischievous person takes no pleasure in understanding; He would rather disclose what is in his heart. 3 When a wayward person comes, contempt also comes, And along with dishonor there is disgrace. 4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters. The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook."
Pro18:1: Humans are gregarious by nature--we are designed by God to need others, to be social. It is a danger for one to become embittered by the actions of one or more, and become an isolationist. God may be willing to forgive us, but we need to be merciful toward others to receive of His mercy (MATth 6:12-15). Also, we should learn to be peaceable, or a peacemaker, and once again rejoice to be in the company of fellow humans. We are helped by focusing on unselfish giving toward others. Especially should we seek out as companions those who love God and who seek earnestly to please Him. Such good company will warm our hearts as we learn together to please God fully.
"2 A mischievous person takes no pleasure in understanding; He would rather disclose what is in his heart."
Pro18:2: We are to seek diligently the quality of understanding, in order to find the very knowledge of God (PROve 2:1-5). This is like putting the pieces of a puzzle together, examining each piece of knowledge as it relates to the others, until we see the complete picture of something, including that of God's beautiful Kingdom purpose. A flagrant person, one who knows what's right but often will not do it, lacks understanding along with other aspects of wisdom, and instead of listening to the good counsel and correction of others, would rather express his own ideas. This one needs to appreciate more the discipline from God, realizing God loves those whom he disciplines (PROve 13:24; HEBre 12:5-6).
"3 When a wayward person comes, contempt also comes, And along with dishonor there is disgrace."
Pro18:3: A wayward person brings with him contempt for others, having an attitude that regards some persons as inferior or beneath human dignity. Such a one has a haughty attitude, and needs to humble himself before God, and also before others, "considering others as superior" to himself. He needs to turn around from bad practices, habits, and thoughts. "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." (ISAiah 55:7) Such a one can come to appreciate the beauty and goodness of God's love for him, the happiness that results from truly pleasing God and doing His will. God's justice seeks that the evildoing ones turn around from wrong thinking so as not to mar the peace and happiness that God promises in His new world.
"4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters. The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook."
Pro18:4: As a person gains genuine wisdom from God, he becomes full of good things to share with others, and learns to do so with tact and kindness (LUKe 6:45; MATth 13:52). He becomes a "bubbling brook" imparting the knowledge of God to others, leading them to endless life in peace and happiness. The deep waters in the heart of a man can require empathetic insight and tactful questions to bring them out, that one's heart may be better understood, and proper encouragement provided.

Proverbs 18:
"5 It is not good to show partiality to the wayward one Or to deprive the upright one of justice. 6 The speech of the mischievous one leads to quarrels, And his mouth invites a beating. 7 The mouth of the mischievous is his ruin, And his lips are a snare for his life. 8 The words of a reproacher are like tasty morsels; They are gulped right down into the stomach."
Pro18:5 We should be impartial in our judgements and dealings with others, and trust God's judgements motivated by love, even if they are temporary. This is an important aspect of true wisdom and of showing true love. (JAMes 3:17; MATth 5:43-48). We're to love even our enemies, but deal with all on the basis of God's word and law, looking to God for His protection and blessing as we choose to decide and act with integrity, doing what is right before God. Thus it is God's will or purpose that soon all should experience equal or fair justice under the law.
"6 The speech of the mischievous one leads to quarrels, And his mouth invites a beating."
Pro18:6 The mischievous one scripturally often knows the right thing but doesn't do it. Such a one often acts selfishly and with contentiousness, thus being argumentative. He needs to humble himself before God, accepting His loving counsel and correction, appreciating God's love as evidenced by His many gifts to us each day. He should turn his ear to God's wisdom, and begin listening to God and others more than speaking his own ideas.
"7 The mouth of the mischievous is his ruin, And his lips are a snare for his life."
Pro18:7 We should all heed the words of James, at James 1:19: "Everyone must be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger." We all have two ears and one mouth, reminding us that we should usually listen about twice as much as we speak. Prove 10:19 says "When words are many, transgression cannot be avoided, but whoever controls his lips acts discreetly." Also, sadly, the more a person speaks foolish ideas disrespecting God and His standards, the more these ideas may become entrenched within, possibly becoming "a snare for his life." May we thus act to correct foolish talk, in hopes of saving the lives of such ones. They are in dire need of the skill of listening, of discernment and understanding, to acquire the proper awe of God, which "means the hating of bad," and which is the start of acquiring genuine wisdom (PROve 2:1-6; 8:13; 9:10).
"8 The words of a reproacher are like tasty morsels; They are gulped right down into the stomach."
Pro18:8 This is stating a sad fact about imperfect human nature--we should work to avoid 'gulping down' the words of one speaking lies about or reproaching another. We should turn a deaf ear, try to change the subject, or speak something good of the person being wrongly attacked. Clearly this has been ongoing into our time, but it needn't and must not be something that continues to threaten the peace and happiness of the human family into the future! Let's be determined to remain loyal to God and others, not searching for reasons to be suspicious of one another's motives, but rather, seeing the good in one another. Of course, if someone has clearly violated God's orders or serious laws, we do need to stand against such wrongdoing. Nevertheless, most people, lovers of God, who wish to live rightly, usually have good reasons for their speech and actions, and we should lovingly aim to give them the benefit of the doubt. We want to maintain faith in the human family, as God does, expecting eventual good from people, seeing their potential as loyal, faithful servants of God. Each person, made in God's image, may be likened to an artistic masterpiece that has been damaged by imperfection, yet seeking to be painstakingly restored by professionals, ultimately under God's supervision, working tirelessly to bring life back to the beautiful work of Jehovoe.

Proverbs 18:9-12:
"9 Whoever is lazy in his work Is a brother to the one who causes ruin. 10 The name of Jehovoe' is a strong tower. Into it the upright one runs and receives protection. 11 The wealth of the rich is his fortified city; It is like a protective wall in his imagination. 12 Before a crash a man’s heart is lofty, And before glory there is humility."
Pro18:9 A lazy person often has not been commended for his efforts to practice what is good, but rather for having knowledge of things. One should be commended for using knowledge aright, to the benefit of others. Having not seen the benefit of applying knowledge in agreement with right standards, or being motivated to benefit others, he is a brother to the one causing ruin.
"10 The name of Jehovoe is a strong tower. Into it the upright one runs and receives protection."
Pro18:10 Romans 10:18 says "For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovoe' will be saved.”" The apostle Paul is quoting Joel 2:32. Calling on God's name of course implies more than knowing God's personal name Jehovoe' and using it. We must also highly regard all that name stands for, "getting to know" God (and His son), which John 17:3 says leads to everlasting life. Strong faith or trust in God, with trusting and loving obedience to Him, will mean our life.
"11 The wealth of the rich is his fortified city; It is like a protective wall in his imagination."
Pro18:11 The key is reliance on God. Money will do us no good on "the day of fury." The Scriptures say nothing about money leading to eternal life, or to protection from God's judgements. May wealthy ones continue to follow the inspired counsel of 1Timothy 6:17-19, looking to God for help, protection, and salvation more than anything material: "17 Instruct those who are rich in the present system of things not to be arrogant, and to place their hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God, who richly provides us with all the things we enjoy. 18 Tell them to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be generous, ready to share, 19 safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, so that they may get a firm hold on the real life." And let those having less than they wish, or even less than they should, use the right and lawful methods of correcting things, blessed by God--we must not pursue money at all costs. In that regard, 1Timothy 6:9-10 mentions those so determined to be rich, saying these "fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge men into destruction and ruin. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains."
"12 Before a crash a man’s heart is lofty, And before glory there is humility."
Pro18:12 Humility is the quality we're aiming for here, it's an attitude, or a viewpoint in life, viewing "others as superior to you." The scriptures say that "Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up." (1Cori 8:1). No amount of knowledge alone makes us better than another person. We must use that knowledge in a humble, loyal, kind and wise way to benefit others. Jesus said whoever wants to be great among his disciples must be as a slave and a minister. Humility and love go hand in hand. And without love we are nothing. "And if I have the gift of prophecy and understand all the sacred secrets and all knowledge, and if I have all the faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." (1Cori 13:2).

Proverbs 18:13-16:
13 When anyone replies to a matter before he hears the facts, It is foolish and humiliating. 14 A person’s spirit can sustain him through illness, But who can bear a crushed spirit? 15 The heart of the understanding one acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks to find knowledge. 16 A man’s gift opens the way for him; It gives him access to great people."
Pro18:13 How should we listen? Do you recall Jesus' words, "Pay attention to how you listen?" Do you listen with discernment, empathy, and understanding? We need to have a discerning ear, to recognize the truth or a lie, and ask the right questions to get to the truth of a matter. If we've discerned sincerity and truth, we might apply empathy to our listening so as to comprehend the speaker's words and ideas more readily, gaining insight into the situation. We need an understanding ear, to see the big picture, and to see each piece in it's place, to piece together the truth of a matter. Then might we be able to reply to the matter with a proper perspective, and avoid appearing foolish, and being humiliated.
"14 A person’s spirit can sustain him through illness, But who can bear a crushed spirit?"
Pro18:14 In this world, one may still lack proper nourishment, or have poor digestion, for instance, and may become ill despite having a positive, upbuilding spirit, which can sustain one as he recovers. One may thus need attention by a medical or health practitioner. A weakened faith in God's provisions for salvation can exacerbate the problem. A thoroughly depressed or crushed spirit, however, is difficult to bear. What is needed by such a person? Isn't hope vital, especially hope from God based on His inspired and inspiring Word, the Bible. Such a one also needs to trust in God, looking to Him to recover, searching with prayerful communication to understand the causes of the broken spirit, and find the right assistance as needed to deal or cope with them.
"15 The heart of the understanding one acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks to find knowledge."
Pro18:15 If we've gained discernment, or difftell, to tell true from false, right from wrong, etc., the quality of understanding should help us to build knowledge and skill in using it for the benefit of others. Gaining the quality of understanding enables one to fit new pieces of knowledge into the bigger picture. Proverbs 14:6 says "knowledge comes easily to the person with understanding." Such a person's ear is attuned to picking up new facts and learning from them.
"16 A man’s gift opens the way for him; It gives him access to great people."
Pro18:16 We should be in the practice of heartfelt giving, and realize the effect of an appropriate gift on the receiver. Such giving needn't merely be material, but in whatever form, should reflect consideration for the interests, values, and welfare of the one(s) receiving. Over time, or in various ways, we may even help others come to appreciate and acquire valuable treasures of a spiritual nature, such as qualities contributing to their peace and happiness, with hope of an eternal happy future. Still, a material gift as well when considered customary, can reveal thoughtfulness toward others, and promote good relationships.

Proverbs 18:17-20:
"17 The first to state his case seems right, Until the other party comes and cross-examines him. 18 Casting lots puts an end to disputes And decides between strong opponents. 19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a fortified city, And there are disputes like the bars of a fortress. 20 From the fruitage of a man’s speech his stomach will be filled; He will be satisfied with what his lips produce."
RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT. Pro18:17 How important to recognize this principle, especially if judging a case. This reminds us not to place full stock in the first opinion we hear, but rather to be willing to hear both or all sides of a case before drawing definite conclusions. The quality of understanding should move us to aim to see the big picture in a case, see all the factors affecting the incident(s) being examined, and then to begin to draw proper conclusions with godly discernment, differentiating between the important factors involved, and lesser factors, although not necessarily negligible. We need to be able to discern between truth and falsehood or deception, among other things. Above all, trust in Jehovoe' God, rely upon Him in prayer to see what's necessary to render a righteous judgement.
"18 Casting lots puts an end to disputes And decides between strong opponents."
HELP FROM GOD. Pro18:18 In ancient Israel, the practice of casting lots was used at times for even highly important matters when decisions were not clear for all, appealing to Jehovoe' God for the necessary answers. Likewise today, God has ways in agreement with His word for helping us make good decisions. Especially we can appreciate when clear instruction and clarification is provided by God for serious matters affecting the human family.
"19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a fortified city, And there are disputes like the bars of a fortress."
REVERE GOD, SEEK HIS VIEW OF MATTERS. Pro18:19 One in court likely has a legitimate cause for complaint. However, some are more easily offended by less serious issues. Ecclesiastes 7:8-9 counsels: "Better is the end of a matter than its beginning. Better to be patient than to be haughty in spirit. 9 Do not be quick to take offense, for the taking of offense lodges in the bosom of fools." Another Proverb says a fool considers himself "right in his own eyes" rather than revering God and turning away from bad. (Prove 3:7). Of course, a person can commit a serious offense, or violation of a Christian standard or man's law. There are Christian guidelines for properly handling more or less serious matters of offense. While certain serious matters may involve the law, others may be more peaceably resolved within the congregation arrangement. (ROMans 13:1-4; 1COri 5:11-13; ACTs 3:19; MATth 5:23,24; MATth 18:15-17). At times there really needs to be respectful cooperation among the various "tribes" or branches of Christianity, in order to handle a dispute or problem most effectively. In any case, it is good to ensure that all involved have a healthy fear of displeasing God and Christlike humility, a hatred for badness, but a love for their fellowman and desire to live peaceably with all men if possible. (Romans 12:18). We should also be patient, or slow to anger, compassionately seeking insight into the situation of others, finding the cause of any offending conduct, promoting understanding of the circumstances leading up to it.
"20 From the fruitage of a man’s speech his stomach will be filled; He will be satisfied with what his lips produce."
UPBUILDING, HELPFUL SPEECH. Pro18:20 How fine, then to spend time contemplating our speech--what we can say that will be upbuilding or uplifting to others each day. Positive speech begins in the heart. The integrity-keeper of Psalm 15 is "practicing what is right and speaking the truth in his heart." (PSalm 15:2). Have you learned to 'practice what is right'? Do you treasure up good sayings, stories, and experiences in harmony with God's word to better understand the truth of God, and even sharing these with others? What delight we can experience, humbly listening to others, and then sharing appropriate upbuilding things with them! (MATth 13:52; 1TImo 4:13).

Proverbs 18:21-24:
"21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; Those who love to use it will eat its fruitage. 22 The one who finds a good wife has found something good, And he receives Jehovoe’s favor. 23 The poor man implores when speaking, But the rich man answers harshly. 24 There are companions ready to crush one another, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
Pro18:21 Clearly, our words to others can promote their grasp on eternal life, or it can contribute to their loss of life--usually the choice is ours. Proverbs 12:18 says: "18 Thoughtless speech is like the stabs of a sword, But the tongue of the wise is a healing." Those who use their tongue well can promote spiritual healing and one's welfare, and will often be rewarded by appreciative ones for their efforts, and blessed by God. You might review the article elsewhere on the website entitled "Encouraging Upbuilding Speech."
"22 The one who finds a good wife has found something good, And he receives Jeohvoe"s favor."
Pro18:22 Why? One who finds a "good wife" usually has sought Jeohvoe"s direction and guidance in prayer, and may have prepared himself for a good marriage. This one recognizes the value and gift of marriage, and willingly accepts the responsibilities and privileges that come with it, being willing to loyally love his dear wife. He shows a willingness to wait for the right person if necessary, looking for one who likewise appreciates marriage and it's Originator. He thereby receives Jeohvoe"s favor, for acting in harmony with God's righteousness. Still, those who didn't yet fully know Jehovoe' may have yet had His blessing to find a good spouse, compatible with one another, capable of loving God and each other as they come to know Him better--HE is the Originator of Marriage and the Family unit! May all look to Him to make their marriage the joy it is intended to be for those honoring this gift from our loving God and Father!
"23 The poor man implores when speaking, But the rich man answers strongly."
Pro18:23 The poor man tends to have a humble attitude, and "implores" or pleads earnestly, when he speaks. While in this case it may be excessive, is it not refreshing to hear someone speak humbly or graciously toward others? Of course, we need a measure of self-respect, and therefore should not go overboard, begging for all we need. May we confidently trust Jehovoe to provide for what we truly need. Still, the "rich" or wealthy man may answer "strongly." He could, if he's not careful, come across as having a proud demeanor, and be more demanding in his requests. His strong speech may seem rough, or unpleasant, or it may reflect His love for God and others, and just a firmness for what he knows is right. Proverbs 13:7 says "There is one who pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; There is another who pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth." Even if we may have some "wealth," may be prefer to treat others with thoughtfulness, kindness, humility, 'pretending to be poor,' as it were. To clarify, we shouldn't however "pretend" to be humble--this quality is an essential to walk with godly awe and to be cultivating true love for God and others. Thus, "consider others superior to you," recognizing that their stores of knowledge, gifts and talents often outshine our own. A truly wise person is NOT a know-it-all. Proverbs 1:5 says "A wise person listens and takes in more instruction..." Thus true listening involves learning, and perhaps asking the right questions to enhance our knowledge.
"24 There are companions ready to crush one another, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
Pro18:24 Clearly, many have not learned how to be a good "companion." It is not merely being with each other that makes for good companionship. Such persons should learn how to be a good friend, to be thoughtful and kind in word and deed, and patient with one another's mistakes, for instance. Proverbs 29:22 says "a man prone to anger stirs up strife..." and should quickly turn to Jehovoe' to acquire greater self-control and gentleness, a mildness of temper, that is displayed throughout each day in kind, thoughtful dealings with others. Everyone should be "slow to anger" (James 1:19). One often hot-tempered does not make good company until he gains more of the vital quality of self-control. May he do so quickly, with God's patient assistance and powerful holy spirit, producing the fruitage that includes "faith, mildness, self-control." (Galat 5:22-23). Faith, or thankful trust, in Jehovoe' should also help prevent us from losing our temper so easily. As soon as we become irritated about something take swift action--channel any energy into thinking through the problem to find a solution or a way to cope with it--refuse to let it get to the point of anger, which rarely leads to good results--it hinders clear thinking, often causes hurt feelings, and can even make one sick! Thus David says, at Psalm 37:8 "Let go of anger..." Upholding God's standards, look to God's word for advice on being a good friend, and may we thus find companions that stick "closer than a brother."

Proverbs 19:1-3:
"1 It is better to be poor and walk in integrity Than to be mischievous and speak lies. 2 A person without knowledge is not good, And the one who acts rashly is sinning. 3 It is a man’s own foolishness that distorts his way, And his heart becomes enraged against Jehovoe'."
(Pro19:1) While we know, and Proverbs shows, there are problems associated with being poor or destitute, still in such a state many realize their need to rely on God and walk His way, keeping integrity, which includes being honest in all things. By remaining so, God can bless such a person and help them have what they need, until they can become more prosperous. David said, at Psalm 37:25, that he had not seen "anyone upright abandoned, nor his children looking for bread." The mischievous one justifies his own rejection of discipline by clinging to lies, which he will speak to others, as he loves declaring his own ideas, rather than listening to much needed counsel. This, of course, can and should change, for his own benefit and that of others!
"2 A person without knowledge is not good, And the one who acts rashly is sinning."
(Pro19:2) It is not good to be without knowledge, especially the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-5 shows how a person can find the "knowledge of God" and the godly fear of Jehovoe', respect and reverence for Him as our Creator. We need such knowledge of God and His ways that we might be obedient, and avoid acting rashly. We need to be in the habit of thinking through our decisions, thinking of the consequences of our actions, before jumping into something and regretting what we've done. If we are in the habit of jumping into a course of action without thinking ahead, this is in itself a sin.
"3 It is a man’s own foolishness that distorts his way, And his heart becomes enraged against Jehovoe'."
(Pro19:3) By not realizing what God's word has to say about something, we may act foolishly. This can result in problems and difficulties that could cause some to become angry and actually blame God. This is not His fault--He encourages us to become familiar with His word so that we can know how to live in a right way and avoid many problems in life. He is "the One teaching you to benefit yourself, the One guiding you in the way you should walk. If only you would pay attention to my commandments! Then your peace would become just like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea." Knowing God's perfect law can bring abundant, at times overflowing peace and the practice of doing right that is constant, like ocean waves. What blessings await lovers of God and His word!

Proverbs 19:4-8:
"4 Wealth attracts many friends, But the man in a poor condition will be deserted even by his friend. 5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And the one who lies with every breath will not escape. 6 Many seek the favor of a noble, And everyone is a friend to the man who gives gifts. 7 All the brothers of a man in a poor condition relegate him; How much more he is shunned by his friends! He pursues them with requests, but no one responds. 8 Whoever acquires good sense loves himself. Whoever treasures discernment will find success."
(Pro19:4) Here is another sad truth about imperfect humans. A person in a poor state who may be treasured by God, is at times abandoned by a friend. Should we really judge another on the basis of wealth? Nearly every person could face such unfortunate circumstances at some time in their life. May we be compassionate to those in such circumstances. Also, we may be understanding toward those who are distressed spiritually, lacking what they should know to have good relationships with others. Let's seek to help them know, as they desire to please and love God and others.
"5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And the one who lies with every breath will not escape."
(Pro19:5) One who judges on the basis of wealth, may be tempted with a bribe to give a false witness, but God hates a lie, and giving a false testimony is even a violation of one of the Ten Commandments. May we seek to live with honest integrity, ever searching for the truth to live by. By all means may a person turn around from a life of falsehood, that stifles genuine growth and success. Look to God with sincerity on coming to terms with the past, while seeking an honest life, but that realizes that there is "a time to be silent and a time to speak." (Eccle 3) Privacy has it's place, and there are some who may do harm with an honest word.
"6 Many seek the favor of a noble, And everyone is a friend to the man who gives gifts."
(Pro19:6) Understandably, we all like to receive a gift from a dear friend. But we shouldn't use such gifts to bribe others in any way. Our gifts should be from the heart, regardless of how much they cost. And we should avoid the appearance of giving a gift so as to obtain some personal advantage.
"7 All the brothers of a man in a poor condition relegate him; How much more he is shunned by his friends! He pursues them with requests, but no one responds."
(Pro19:7) If such as person realizes he has not been relying upon God, certainly it is time to do so--seeking God's blessing and assistance to have what's needed. We should recall, as stated at Proverbs 10:22, "It is the blessing of Jehovoe' that makes one rich, And He adds no pain with it." Those seeking wealth apart from God, or by wrongful practices such as stealing, cheating, or lying, are not to find benefit from such wealth, as a discipline to turn from such practices. Proverbs 10:2-3 says this: "The treasures gained by ungodliness will be of no benefit, But righteousness is what rescues from death. 3 Jehovoe' will not cause the upright one to go hungry, But he will deny the unnagodly what they crave. 4 Idle hands will cause poverty, But diligent hands bring riches." So to help such ones, we should lovingly assist their faith in the Giver of Life, Jehovoe'. The capable wife of Proverbs 31, for instance, "extends her palm to the lowly one, and she opens her hands to the poor." May we likewise have compassion for those in unfortunate circumstances.
"8 Whoever acquires good sense loves himself. Whoever treasures discernment will find success."
(Pro19:8) Discernment is a vital quality for one wanting true wisdom. It allows us to see the difference between things--right from wrong, true from false, good from bad, wise from unwise, and serious matters of the law from lesser matters, though still required. We should become skilled at discerning such things, as this will help us be truly successful in life. It is really best to learn to discern such things early on in our development of wisdom, that we may better know what is most important to seek understanding of in life.

PROVERBS COMMENTARY
Prove 19:9-11:
"9 A false witness will not go unpunished, And the one who lies with every breath will perish. 10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury; How much less for a servant to rule over princes! 11 The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, And it is beauty on his part to overlook an offense."
(Pro19:9) Lies are clearly among the seven things Jehovoe' hates, as we find in Proverbs 6:16-19, including "a false witness who lies with every breath." How serious! Jehovoe' is the "God of truth" and His word says it is "impossible" for Him to lie. How we should treasure the truth, and with purity of heart and mind to see the truth clearly. While seeking to be upright and speak with an honest heart, we should still have in mind that there is "a time to be silent and a time to speak." (Eccl 3:7b).
Prove 19:10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury; How much less for a servant to rule over princes!
(Pro19:10) A foolish one tends not to appreciate discipline and true wisdom as much as he should. He may also tend to lack humility, which can often get him in trouble with his speech. One tending toward foolishness, therefore, does well to humble himself and give more thought to the benefits of seeking to live in harmony with God's righteous laws and standards. May we not use underhanded means to obtain riches, but rather find success in harmony with Proverbs 22:4, which says "The result of humility and the godly fear of Jehovoe' is riches and glory and life."
Proverbs 19:11 "The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, And it is beauty on his part to overlook an offense."
(Pro19:11) Empathy, or Insight into a situation, with compassionate comprehension, seeing the reasons for an offense, helps us to be more calm about it, and to mercifully forgive another. For instance, a woman in an office seeks information from a man, but he speaks unkindly to her. Rather than becoming irate, she seeks to understand, and notices a stain on his shirt. He then apologizes, and informs her that he had just spilled coffee on his brand new dress shirt, and proceeds to give her the information she needs. May we take this to heart, as "everyone must be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger." (James 1:19).

Proverbs 19:12-17:
"12 The king’s rage is like the growling of a lion, But his favor is like dew on the vegetation.13 A brazen son brings adversity on his father, And a quarrelsome wife is like a roof that never stops leaking. 14 A house and wealth are inherited from fathers, But a discreet wife is from Jehovoe'. 15 Laziness brings on a deep sleep, And a sluggish person will go hungry. 16 The one who keeps the commandment keeps his life; The one who is reckless about his ways will die. 17 The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovoe', And He will repay him for what he does."
(Pro19:12) The king's power should not be underestimated or disrespected by others, whether it is power to discipline or to bring blessings to others. The king in the favor of God himself judges righteously--no truly upright and honest person should receive his disfavor, rather such conduct pleasing God and this one brings blessing from heaven.
"13 A brazen son brings adversity on his father, And a quarrelsome wife is like a roof that never stops leaking."
(Pro19:13) How much better to raise a wise son, one respecting God's lawl, able to comprehend it using discernment and understanding, in the true godly fear of Jehovoe'. A "nagging" or "quarrelsome" wife is disrespecting her husband, although his expressed love might be lacking as well. Look carefully at the situation, seeking how to correct it, so a difficult circumstance does not continue. It is a woman's "quiet and mild spirit" which is of great value in the eyes of God. (1PEter 3:4). Deep respect from his cherished woman is so important to the satisfaction of a godly man. (EPHes 5:33).
"14 A house and wealth are inherited from fathers, But a discreet wife is from Jehovoe'."
(Pro19:14) Jehovoe' is aware of a godly woman who practices discretion. Godly men may look to Jehovoe' in prayer to find a suitable wife, that can work together in doing God's will and finding true delight in their companionship.
"15 Laziness brings on a deep sleep, And a sluggish person will go hungry."
(Pro19:15) What are you needing to accomplish? Do you have a to-do list? Have you converted it to a schedule, making time to do the things on your list, prioritizing them and choosing a time to accomplish each item? Proverbs 16:3 says "Commit to Jehovoe' whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Look to God and his word, and perhaps your parents, to determine suitable goals, short-term and long-term, then set about planning to accomplish them. Break down your goals into achievable steps. Reward yourself for completing steps toward your most important goals. Thus avoid laziness and sluggishness in life, learning to "find enjoyment for all [your] hard work. It is the gift of God." (Ecc.3:13).
"16 The one who keeps the commandment keeps his life; The one who is reckless about his ways will die."
(Pro19:16) Clearly, one should avoid carelessness or recklessness, acting without restraint or self-control. Self-control and Christian mildness, or a gentle manner, with faith in God, should all mark the life of a true Christian, as part of the fruitage of God's holy spirit (Gal.5:22-23). Trusting in God, life may be spared, where otherwise it may have been lost.
"17 The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovoe', And He will repay him for what he does."
(Pro19:17) It is a Christian recommendation to have at least a little something on hand to help those in need (James 2:16). Such consideration, without fanfare, will be rewarded by Jehovoe'.

There is a real need for clean water in the right form for drinking, natural minerals included. Some factors, such as bicarbonate and good ozone can help greatly with water treatment. Still, staying hydrated each day requires balance, as in supplemental water, or some beverage concentrations. Understand that We Need More than H2O! Most “Purified” and even “Drinking” waters have 1/5 or less of the electrolytes in a normal Spring or Well water, and especially if there are practically None this can seriously diminish power over time and even diminish life itself!

Update, par. 1. Also, update to (1A) Golden Apples, Free Will article. (d.702Moo, f718Fri 6:16,20 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! 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.632Fan, f715Tue 7:55; 8:09 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (4B) Psalm 119 Stanza 13. Also current podcast on Spotify, etc. is W59 w0865-69 Addressing Some Current Issues--How?

(d.628Wnd, f711Fri 10:41 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to PA (8-2) More Orderly Time article, paragraph just before Month 5, starting "NOW" about recommended adjustment to monthnames 2-4. (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.
