A repost:
Free Will and Divine Intervention.
Many have heard these terms, but the Bible helps us fit these and related concepts together as we contemplate God's loving purpose for mankind. First, "Free Will." Did God design us to be programmed to always do things a certain way, or (rather) to be people with freedom, like Him, to learn and make good choices in life, warming the hearts of one another? That's "Free Will." The Bible clearly states that "God is love," and as such wants us to love as He does. Thus we are not fated to either fail or succeed--rather He instructs us to acquire knowledge and learn to tell true from false, good from bad, etc. and to choose accordingly. This ability to distinguish is called "discernment," but might be called "difftell," to tell the difference, for some to comprehend and benefit from this important aspect of wisdom. However, what about things that sometimes happen in the world around us that appear to have been caused by God--experiencing "Divine Intervention"? At times, for instance, He seems to have protected someone's life miraculously, from tragedy. The Bible offers examples of God's intervention at times, but shows He doesn't always choose to do so. The ones saved often had prayed to God for His help. Thus we shouldn't assume that everything that happens in life is God's will--God doesn't purpose that people drive drunk or cause traffic deaths. There are other reasons for these things. Thus we should use knowledge to make decisions, rather than 'look for omens,' or signs from God in everyday events, as though God uses these to make decisions for us.
One confusion in English has to do with the question "Why?" Sometimes we are looking for a reason, and other times we want to know a purpose, for an action perhaps. A number of languages actually distinguish asking for a purpose with a term that basically means "What for?". You may have been late for a reason, something may have happened to cause it, but likely not for a purpose by God, intended--He teaches us punctuality, after all. In this respect, the terms "reason" and "purpose" have different meanings. Thus the saying that "everything happens for a reason" is commonly misapplied--not everything happens is God's will--as though designed to accomplish something--still we can investigate the reasons and make better decisions in the future. With God's word we can better "difftell" between right and wrong! R05.252.

WGA- Wildfires--Seeking Solutions
In the News... (Original 2022 post,with current update.)
WGA R05.402, Last update: 23/607
It is hoped that this update may help us turn the corner on the proper mixture and safe use of jets for great aid in safely fighting and putting out wildfires and most other typical fires in as short time as possible.
WILDFIRES--SEEKING SOLUTIONS
Original 2022 Post/Appeal: The terrible wildfires in the U.S. are causing disheartening destruction. At Yellowstone, long-time oaks are burning up by the minute. I'm proposing that a test be done as soon as possible, to see whether a large jet, the fuel of which actually produces a form of water as it is used, carefully brought lower and slower without jeopardizing flight, could actually produce enough effect to assist with combating the blaze, or help cut-off further pathways of flame. Of course, all clearances of lower flying planes, etc. would be needed, and again every precaution taken to ensure safe passes, keeping careful watch on fuel levels, altitude, nearby mountains, etc. If this idea is considered reasonable, may we do what we can to halt this calamitous situation.
2023 Jun 07 Update: While jet fuel tank distance/range is reduced to half (but still usually thousands of miles), cost and waste is reduced significantly over the pure, unmixed jet fuel. It has been known now that a 1/4 or 1:3 mixture of Jet Fuel and Low-Mineral Water (NOT Zero-Mineral water, which is essentially R.O. Purified spring or well water--Reverse Osmosis is intended for processing ocean water to be drinkable) is best in most cases for Jet fueled Aircraft, or 3 times as much water as verified pure, unmixed Jet-fuel, preferably decided NOT pre-mixed, but rather fuel with pure jet fuel first, aware of the amount, perhaps 1/2 gal., then add the approved water, at preferably (and no more than) three times the fuel amount, in this case 1.5 gal. Continue in this way, ALWAYS adding the UNMIXED JET FUEL FIRST, then up to the threefold amount of water afterward. Combined in this way poses little risk and may then be used for good fuel efficiency and possibly emergency use over forest fires, etc. Although up to 3/4 approved water, aircraft range is reduced only to at least half, which is still usually quite adequate, as jets typically can travel many thousands of miles before refueling, although requiring care to ensure systems never fail to have adequate supply, even if sensors or alarms should be newly installed. This ratio is therefore useful in many important ways, as this mixed fuel may be more safely and efficiently applied over forest fires, essentially eliminating harm to creatures and their habitat. Also, this same mixture further combined 50-50 with any water (resulting in a 1/8 amount of the fuel) to fill fire engine tanks, may then be effectively and harmlessly used in providing powerful fire-reduction, about 10 times the effectiveness against fires over plain water.

WGA REPOST, having campaigned for U.S. President, despite difficult circumstances, the truth reveals where God's blessing is to be found:
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.

PSALM 86
Incline your ear, O LORD (Jehovoe), and answer me,
For I am troubled and poor.
2 Guard my life, for I am loyal.
Save your servant who is trusting in you, For you are my God.
3 Show me favor, O LORD, For I call to you all day long.
4 Make your servant rejoice, For to you, O LORD, I turn.
5 For you, O LORD, are good and ready to forgive;
You abound in loyal love for all those who call on you.
6 Listen, O LORD, to my prayer;
And pay attention to my pleas for help.
7 I call on you in the day of my distress, For you will answer me.
8 There is none like you among the gods, O LORD,
There are no works like yours.
9 All the nations that you made Will come and bow down before you,
O LORD (Jehovoe), And they will give glory to your name.
10 For you are great and do wondrous things; You are God, you alone.
11 Instruct me, O LORD, about your way.
I will walk in your truth. Unify my heart to revere your name.
12 I praise you, O LORD (Jehovoe) my God, with all my heart,
And I will glorify your name forever,
13 For your loyal love toward me is great,
And you have saved my life from the depths of the Grave.
14 O God, presumptuous men (defying law) rise up against me;
A band of ruthless men seek to take my life,
And they have no regard for you.
15 But you, O LORD, are a God merciful and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and show me favor.
Give your strength to your servant,
And save the son of your slave girl.
17 Show me a sign of your goodness,
So that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame.
For you, O LORD, are my helper and comforter.

PSALM SELECT
GOD'S KINGDOM PURPOSE
Psalm 87
(Book 3, 15th psalm, 3Ps15) refers, not only to the former literal earthly Jerusalem when it had God's favor, but also to New Jerusalem, "Mount Zion...a city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem." (HEBre 12:22; REVel 21:2-4). This has reference to the rulership of God's Kingdom over mankind, which must be acknowledged by all who will gain eternal life among the people of God. Especially those chosen as anointed kings in association with Christ Jesus/Josha are "born again" as adopted sons of God, receiving his scourging discipline and training to be worthy of the privilege. (JOHn 3:3; HEBre 12:6). Verse 5 says "And about Zion it will be said: "Each and every one was born in her." And the Most High will firmly establish her." As mentioned in verse 7, it will be said of Zion, "All my springs are in you." Just as a spring comes from one parcel of land, and moves on to be a source of life-sustaining water through many other areas, so Jesus/Josha and Zion will prove to be a source of living water for humanity, spiritually sustaining.
_____PS[3]
PSALM SELECT
GOD'S FIRSTBORN
Psalm 89
(Book 3, 17th psalm continued, 3Ps17) verses 27-29 further speak of God's blessing upon his anointed ruler in His Kingdom expressed on earth. These verses read: "And I will place him as firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth. 28 I will maintain my loyal love for him forever, And my covenant with him will never fail. 29 I will establish his offspring forever And make his throne as enduring as the heavens."
This one, like King David of ancient Israel, seeks God's honor, not his own. He trusts God completely as he seeks to abide by God's word and grow in true godly wisdom as found therein. As "firstborn" and having "offspring," he sets an example as a loving father or even older sibling might do for younger children, encouraging them to remain on the path of life. Because this one trusts and loves God, seeking divine approval and authority, he receives an enduring throne, just as others may hope in eternal life by also learning to trust and love God implicitly, following Christ's teachings and example.
_____PS[4]
PSALM SELECT
HONOR TO GOD THE FATHER
Psalm 106
(Book 4, psalm 17 continued, 4Ps17) verses 29-32 recount other sins of Israel, as well as God's blessing on Phinehas, who stood up against Israel's sin of sexual immorality. Notice the reading: "29 They provoked Him by their actions, And a scourge broke out among them. 30 But when Phinʹe·has stood up and intervened, The scourge was halted. 31 And it was counted to him as righteousness Through all generations forever. 32 They provoked Him at the waters of Merʹi·bah, And it went badly for Moses because of them." Evidently near the end of Israel's 40-year sojourn in the wilderness, Moses was instructed by God at Meribah to strike a rock and supply water to Israel. But Moses was evidently so frustrated with Israel's complaints and quarreling that he and Aaron sought their own glory from the event, rather than giving Jehovoe due credit. Moses said to them: "Hear, now, you rebels! Must we bring out water for you from this crag?" Was it Moses power that brought the water, or Jehovoe's? This cost Moses and Aaron entry into the Promised Land of Israel. It would prove to be Joshua who would lead Israel into their new homeland. Jesus/Josha always found a way to credit his God and Father for the power to heal, often saying "Your faith has made you well." Even at the point of resurrecting his friend Lazarus, Jesus/Josha "raised his eyes heavenward and said: "Father, I thank you that you have heard me..." Of course, this one wanted people to have faith in him as well, being the "Chief agent" of salvation for mankind. (HEBre 2:10; 12:2) But still proved to be Lord "to the glory of God the Father." (PHiliP 2:11). May we imitate and honor such an example, as well as the other times of humble Moses' life, in putting God's glory and honor ahead of our own. (JOHn 7:18).
_____PS[5]
PSALM SELECT
Psalm 15, a song of David, outlines essentials to the course of an upright person. Despite it's simplicity, it in no way negates our need to consider God's word, but rather helps to guide our aims regarding our examination of it.
Psalm 15:
O Jehovoe, who may be a guest in your tent?
Who may reside in your holy mountain?
2 The one who is walking faultlessly,
Practicing what is right
And speaking the truth in his heart.
3 He does not slander with his tongue,
He does nothing bad to his neighbor,
And he does not defame his friends.
4 He rejects anyone who is despicable,
But he honors those revering Jehovoe.
He does not go back on his godly promise,
even when it is bad for him.
5 He does not lend his money on interest,
And he does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things will never be shaken.
_____PS[6]
PSALM 103, Underscoring God's Merciful Fatherliness for All, Turning around from Past Wrongs
Do we need or want God's blessing? Could or should we "bless" Him--how? "Praise" involves speech that honors Him in some way, and significantly, right conduct "speaks louder than words." Still such speech and actions are ways we can express our appreciation to Him. Also, helping others turn from wrong thinking that we may even have wrongly promoted in the past, is also quite pleasing to God and rewarding. God is eager to extend mercy in such situations, wherever it may be, as Psalm 103 clarifies. Also, to "revere" God is to consider Him worthy of great honor, duly respecting His great power and authority.
Of David.
103 Let me praise Jehovoe; Let everything within me praise his holy name.
2 Let me praise Jehovoe; May I never forget all that he has done.
3 He forgives all your errors And heals all your ailments;
4 He reclaims your life from the pit And crowns you with his loyal love and mercy.
5 He satisfies you with good things all your life, So that your youth is renewed like that of an eagle.
6 Jehovoe acts with righteousness and justice For all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, His deeds to the sons of Israel.
8 Jehovoe is merciful and compassionate, Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love.
9 He will not always find fault, Nor will he stay resentful forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor has he repaid us what our errors deserve.
11 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So great is his loyal love toward those who revere him.
12 As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset, So far off from us he has put our transgressions.
13 As a father shows mercy to his sons, Jehovoe has shown mercy to those who revere him.
14 For he well knows how we are formed, Remembering that we are dust.
15 As for mortal man, his days are like those of grass; He blooms like a blossom of the field.
16 But when a wind blows, it is no more, As though it was never there.
17 But the loyal love of Jehovoe is for all eternity Toward those who revere him, And his righteousness toward their children’s children,
18 Toward those who keep his covenant And those who are careful to observe his orders.
19 Jehovoe has firmly established his throne in the heavens; And his kingship rules over everything.
20 Praise Jehovoe, all you his angels, mighty in power, Who carry out his word, obeying his voice.
21 Praise Jehovoe, all his armies, His ministers who do his will.
22 Praise Jehovoe, all his works, In all the places where he rules. Let my whole being praise Jehovoe.
_____(3) Proverbs Commentary
_____PC[1]
PROVERBS COMMENTARY
Proverbs 16:1-3:
"1 A man prepares the thoughts of his heart, But the answer he gives is from Jehovoe. 2 All of a man’s ways seem right to him, But Jehovoe examines the motives. 3 Commit to Jehovoe whatever you do, And your plans will succeed."
Pro 16:1: How do we answer someone who questions our faith or needs to hear the hope we have that they may have hope themselves? We should ponder such things, as we seek to find the right words that will touch the hearts of others. When we do so, we can look to Jehovoe to help us say the right thing when it's needed.
"2 All of a man’s ways seem right to him, But Jehovoe examines the motives."
Pro 16:2: Men may believe they have it all figured out, but what is the motive behind each individual? The motive we should have is seeking the glory and honor of our loving God, pleasing Him as a true Christian with faith, seeking to represent Him well. Like Jesus, we should not be seeking our own glory, but God's. John 7:18 says "Whoever speaks of his own originality is seeking his own glory; but whoever seeks the glory of the one who sent him, this one is true and there is no sinfulness in him." Thus Jesus, our exemplar, sought his Father's glory, and proved true to Him, with good motive.
"3 Commit to Jehovoe whatever you do, And your plans will succeed."
Pro 16:3: As we plan our lives with Jehovoe's help in prayer, we can look to Him for success in our activities. Jehovoe cares about our ideas and plans and wants to bless our efforts as we keep seeking first His Kingdom and righteousness (MATth 6:33). This is a promise that God would supply our needs--such as food and clothing--if we would do this. But why not just seeking first "the Kingdom"--largely involving sacrifices we make in service to God, supporting Kingdom interests? Why also "His righteousness?" This involves keeping our integrity to God, seeking obedience to Him, not just to share our hope with others, but in all aspects of Christianity. Obedience to God is actually more important than any sacrifice we may offer. Such genuine obedience makes our clean sacrifices acceptable to God. Of course, God is not now requiring perfection, but He expects us to keep aiming for the target! We may occasionally miss, and God's grace and Christ's ransom can cover those misses. But we keep aiming right, accepting God's help to recover from a miss. Thus the definition of "sin"--missing the mark. Studying God's word, pondering to apply it--to live it--we may come surprisingly close to the obedient example Jesus/Jehosha sets! This is true of anointed co-rulers with Christ, as well as "the whole world." As the apostle John wrote, at 1John 2:1-2 "I am writing you these things so that you may not commit a sin. And yet, if anyone does commit a sin, we have a helper with the Father, Jesus/Jehosha Christ, an upright one. 2 And he is a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins, yet not for ours only but also for the whole world’s."
_____PC[2]
"4 Jehovoe has made everything work for his purpose, Even the ungodly for the day of disaster. 5 Everyone proud in heart is detestable to Jehovoe. Be assured that he will not go unpunished. 6 By loyal love and faithfulness, error is atoned for, And by revering Jehovoe one turns away from bad. 7 When Jehovoe is pleased with a man’s ways, He causes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8 Better is a little with righteousness Than a large income without justice."
Pro 16:4 We all have the gift of free will from God--he wants us to use that gift to His honor. For a discussion of free will, see the article "Heart Matters." God did not make us like robots, to force us into obedience, rather, He wants us to obey Him from the heart, out of love for Him and His ways. God is loyal and patient with mankind, desiring all to repent of all badness that promotes selfishness and sin, interfering with genuine peace and happiness. Ultimately each one must answer to Jehovoe for the path we choose, because selfishness and sin must be brought down in favor of God's loving rulership over man.
"5 Everyone proud in heart is detestable to Jehovoe. Be assured that he will not go unpunished."
Pro 16:5 This statement provides insight into those pursuing evil, their own egopride is a powerful motivator for their evil course. They must humble themselves before Jehovoe, viewing Him and others as superior to them, finding willingness to listen to God's loving counsel and correction. God disciplines those whom he loves--they should learn to appreciate the love of God evident in their life--His many gifts he allows them to enjoy. Once again, a proud person will be called to account for his or her haughty attitude over others, a view of people that is imbalanced and unreasonable.
"6 By loyal love and faithfulness, error is atoned for, And by revering Jehovoe one turns away from bad."
Pro 16:6 Acts 3:19 says "Repent, therefore, and turn around, so as to get your sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come from Jehovoe himself." By pursuing loyal love and faithfulness to God, the error of even proud, evil men can be forgiven on the basis of Christ's ransom sacrifice. Regarding his selection of close followers, Jesus/Jehosha said "I came to call, not upright people, but sinners to repentance." Of course, he was in no way finding fault with those who were already right-hearted, but wanted to help persons to leave behind dishonest or misguided ideas and ways, responding to God's love and mercy to come to terms with their past and make the changes needed for a truly happy life. Jehosha proved himself to be a merciful, compassionate shepherd of the sheep of humankind while on earth. Jehovoe God likewise has such mercy. (ISAiah 55:6-9)
"7 When Jehovoe is pleased with a man’s ways, He causes even his enemies to be at peace with him."
Pro 16:7 What a blessing to have Jehovoe intervene in such a way! Jehovoe's ways do promote genuine peace among people, especially when His right standards are respected. What a lesson that pleasing God promotes true peace. God's way is the way of eternity, the way of eternal peace and happiness!
"8 Better is a little with righteousness Than a large income without justice."
Pro 16:8 We may only have a little, but if it's acquired with integrity to God and His standards, we can rest with a clean conscience, among the softest of pillows. Those pursuing greater wealth may be tempted to violate Christian standards in order to obtain it, or may have temptations daily in their work, in a business. Such ones should pray to Jehovoe, and endeavor to stand firm with integrity, appealing to managers or others to do things the right way, without violations against God's law/lall. A business and others may thus be saved from trouble. Some may need to find a lesser position or form of work in order to maintain their integrity. If so, God will certainly bless their efforts to please Him fully. Businesses themselves should come to realize that it is "the blessing of Jehovoe that makes one rich, and He adds no pain with it." (Prove 10:22).

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

Proverbs 16:13-19:
"13 Upright speech is a pleasure to kings. They love someone who speaks honestly. 14 The king’s rage is like a messenger of death, But the wise man appeases it. 15 In the light of the king’s face there is life; His favor is like a cloud of rain in spring. 16 How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To gain understanding is to be chosen over silver. 17 The highway of the upright avoids what is bad. Whoever safeguards his way preserves his life. 18 Pridefulness (or, "egopride") is before a crash, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. 19 Better to be humble among the meek Than to share the spoil of the haughty."
Pro16:13 Are you in the practice of keeping honest integrity? The upright one that is finding God's pleasure in Psalm 15 is "speaking the truth in his heart." (PSalm 15:2). If you are honest-hearted, it will be natural for you to 'speak honestly' before kings or anyone else. Also, as you continue to give attention to God's word and law/lall, you will grow in understanding God's righteousness, or the course of integrity. You will thereby be learning, not just how to speak honestly, but also how to live and act in a right, fair, and honest way in practically every situation in life. Being honest doesn't mean we have to reveal every detail of private information to those who may do harm with it. We need to learn to be discerning. God's word cautions: "There is a time to keep quiet and a time to speak." (ECCle 3:7). Also, "In the abundance of words there does not fail to be transgression, but the one keeping his lips in check is acting discreetly." Still, God's new world is to be built on genuine trust, in God and in one another. So we are generally able to find trustworthy persons among the human family, and their numbers should continue to grow--look for them!!!
"14 The king’s rage is like a messenger of death, But the wise man appeases it."
Pro16:14 The wise man may appease the king's rage by understanding or discerning it's cause(s) and reasoning on the matter accordingly in a gentle manner. (Prove 15:1). Is such wisdom valuable to you?
"15 In the light of the king’s face there is life; His favor is like a cloud of rain in spring. 16 How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To gain understanding is to be chosen over silver."
Pro16:15-16 Do you want to find favor in the eyes of a right-hearted king? Then choose wisdom, or spiritual wealth, over material wealth. The latter may still follow the former, but God's favor and blessing should be the motive with love for Him and others. Why not prefer the favor of the Loving Creator of the Universe? Psalm 95:3-5 says: "For Jehovoe is a great God And a great King over all [other] gods, 4 He in whose hand are the inmost depths of the earth And to whom the peaks of the mountains belong; 5 To whom the sea, which He himself made, belongs And whose own hands formed the dry land itself." Jehovoe God is thus a source of tremendous wisdom, and love with which He formed humans. May we continue to look to Him and His word for guidance in life, seeking divine favor.
"17 The highway of the upright avoids what is bad. Whoever safeguards his way preserves his life."
Pro16:17 May we choose the path of the upright, which may be considered a "highway" accessible to multitudes. When we fear to displease our loving and powerful Creator, knowing His goodness and not wanting to hurt His feelings, we come to hate what is bad, along with it's undesirable consequences. We can thus come to learn and see or discern the bad results of violating God's laws or standards, of disobeying Him. Choosing the right way throughout our day preserves our hope of eternal life, benefitting others, and with God's blessing may even spare us untimely death in a world still somewhat lacking in integrity.
"18 Pridefulness (or, "Egopride") is before a crash, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. 19 Better to be humble among the meek Than to share the spoil of the haughty."
Pro16:18-19 Another significant one of the Proverbs, pridefulness or haughtiness is the "sin that easily entangles us" that Paul mentioned when discussing true faith. (HEBre 12:1). The term "entangles" can refer to the garment worn in ancient times, which may become entangled when running, causing "stumbling." Such is the snare of pridefulness, or "egopride," causing a devastating fall. While the terms "pride" and "proud" can be used in a good way, as regards that feeling of accomplishment when we've perhaps been successful or shared in another's successes, there is also the false, or excessive pride that is self-exalting and exceedingly headstrong. We should love to maintain a humble view of ourselves, appreciating the value of others--their gifts and talents which may at times exceed our own. We should appreciate that any such that we may possess are gifts emanating from God himself, and should be used mainly to seek His praise and glory--not our own. Any glory or "spoil" obtained by egopride or arrogance is only temporary, as Proverbs 10:2 says "The treasures gained by ungodliness will be of no benefit, but righteousness is what rescues from death."

Proverbs 16:20-24
"20 The one who shows insight in a matter will find success, And happy is the one trusting in Jehovoe. 21 The wise in heart will be called understanding, And the one kind in speech adds persuasiveness. 22 Insight is a fountain of life to those possessing it, But fools are disciplined by their own foolishness. 23 The heart of the wise one gives his mouth insight And adds persuasiveness to his speech. 24 Pleasant sayings are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and a healing to the bones."
Pro16:20 What then is insight? It is a compassionate or empathetic comprehension of other's circumstances, a seeing beyond the obvious to understand what has led up to a situation or incident. This may be seen by comparing Proverbs 19:11, which says: "The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, and it is beauty on his part to overlook an offense." Compassionately grasping what caused or led up to "an offense" by another, we are better able to overlook it, or forgive the person for what was done. For example, at work a woman approaches another man for some information she needs, but he is rather rude to her. Rather than let it rattle her, she uses insight to ask him why he is speaking in such a way to her. He apologizes, and realizes that it was because he had recently bought a new dress shirt, and just spilled his coffee on it. With such insight into the situation, she readily forgives him, and he proceeds to kindly give her the information she needed. She thus found "success" (lit., "good") in the matter, and remained happy as she trusted in Jehovoe's way, a Christian way, of handling matters.
"21 The wise in heart will be called understanding, And the one kind in speech adds persuasiveness."
Pro16:21 The gaining of true wisdom is worth great effort, as it brings untold blessings and hope of life to it's owner. While it seeks the honor and glory of Jehovoe and holds to His elevated standards, still one blessing from God is His watchcare of one's reputation in the long-term. Right-hearted ones of mankind will see and appreciate the wisdom we work hard to cultivate. Still, as Christ foretold, we may have to endure negative talk or even persecution by some for a time, but our enduring it with kindness may even in time persuade some persecutors to the truth.
"22 Insight is a fountain of life to those possessing it, But fools are disciplined by their own foolishness."
Pro16:22 Here insight is contrasted with foolishness. Insight is a "fountain of life," as compassionately seeking to understand others makes it possible to teach them more effectively, especially important with spiritual matters leading them to eternal life. A fool however may not often seek this, but if so it is often for a wrong purpose, as he or she is normally rather self-centered. The foolishness of his reactions may discipline him in some way, although he normally scoffs at advice from others, being "right in his own eyes." (Prove 12:15). The fool needs to appreciate kind counsel from loved ones, ultimately from God, being helped to gain high regard for Him, gaining right motivation. Also important is discernment, seeing good from bad, and foresighted prudence to see the consequences of good and bad decisions, to reject the bad along with its associated problems. God gives us His guidance to save us from grief and trouble, as He knows best how we can maintain true happiness!
"23 The heart of the wise one gives his mouth insight And adds persuasiveness to his speech."
Pro16:23 Recall that "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." (Matth 12:34b). A wise-hearted one with insight then, will compassionately speak with such insight, with kindness, and prove to be more persuasive, helping others gain more understanding of matters. Notice that a wise one sees the value of speaking with insight, or empathy. A truly wise heart is also loving--is not Jehovoe the God who "IS love" (1John 4:8)? Therefore true love motivates all He does, and guided His acquisition of wisdom. So while humans need certain things in place to grow in love, and a complete love is a crowning goal to achieve, once the right motivation is obtained, an important aspect of true love, it may guide the acquisition of true knowledge, wisdom, and further empathetic understanding of others. May such ever be used to honor and please God, and be used by Him with pure motive to unselfishly care for others, and experience the rewards that only God can provide. Hebrews 11:6 says "Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please God well, for whoever approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those persistently seeking him."
"24 Pleasant sayings are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and a healing to the bones."
Pro16:24 May we treasure "pleasant sayings," especially those coming from God's word, that are encouraging, upbuilding, and positive. True wisdom contributes to speech that is "healing," as Proverbs 12:18 says "...the tongue of the wise is a healing." Do you treasure sayings that have such a positive effect on you or others, strengthening them spiritually, to bolster their love for God and others, helping them find a happy course in life? We might search the Scriptures for such sayings, and come to know and love many of them, to help others and ourselves to stand firmly for God's righteousness, His right ways and standards that serve as a framework for a happy and successful life and family, leading to God's reward of endless life.

Proverbs 16:
"25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But in the end it leads to death. 26 The appetite of a laborer makes him work hard For his hunger urges him on. 27 An unworthy man digs up what is bad; His speech is like a scorching fire. 28 A troublemaker causes dissension, And a slanderer separates close friends.
"25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But in the end it leads to death."
(Pro16:25) Do you grasp the significance of this inspired proverb? Is it not God's way that brings life to a person, both within and with hope of eternity? Do you count only on your own ideas for happiness, peace, security, and life for how long? We have not been designed, nor can we be truly successful, counting only on ourselves. God knows we are so much happier looking to Him, even depending on Him and His guidance and His eager assistance to help us learn and know how to handle various situations throughout each day in a way that brings peace and happiness not only to ourselves, but to those we deal with, whether loved ones, friends, or neighbors. Even if our own ideas seem right to us, may we compare them with God's word, and seek Him, pleading with Him in prayer when an idea or decision really matters or can make a difference in our own life or that of others. We want to do things a truly right way, a wise way as His word directs, that we may truly be successful in all our endeavors. Psalm 127:1 says this: "Unless Jehovoe builds the house, It is in vain that its builders work hard on it. Unless Jehovoe guards the city, It is in vain that the guard stays awake. 2 It is in vain that you rise up early, That you stay up late, That you toil for your food, Since he provides for his loved ones while giving them sleep." Also, the beautiful truth of Romans 8:28 is this: "We know that God makes all his works cooperate together for the good of those who love God..." As we all look to God and His way, seeking to honor Him more than ourselves, we can truly find the joy, the peace, the prosperous success for which the human family has long yearned.
"26 The appetite of a laborer makes him work hard For his hunger urges him on."
(Pro16:26) This insight into what compels a worker might also remind us of the importance of setting good goals in life, and working to acheive them. Truly good goals, such as Jehovoe would bless, can be turned into smaller, more manageable steps, in the right direction. Recall Proverbs 10:22, which says "It is the blessing of Jehovoe that makes one rich, And He adds no pain with it." Another verse says "Expectation postponed is making the heart sick..." Sometimes people set goals that do not line up with the will of Jehovoe, His wonderful purpose for mankind. If we're pursuing a wrong course, in violation of God's law or word, we should abandon such a thing, and choose instead something more in line with the talents God has given us in support of His loving will for humanity. That last verse continues, "but the thing desired is a tree of life when it does come." Let's look to God to reward us for being reasonable, realistic, and upright in the goals that we set, and with His blessing, reach, that bring God gladness to His heart.
"27 An unworthy man digs up what is bad; His speech is like a scorching fire."
(Pro16:27) Seeking God's wisdom, to keep His law and prove upright in our ways and dealings with others helps us see the good, and potential, in both ourselves and others. Ignoring these things, lacking wisdom and good motive, a person might tend to look for faults in others, likely ignoring his own faults, thinking so highly of Himself. Psalm 36:1-4 reveals: "Transgression speaks to the corrupt one deep within his heart; There is no awe of God before his eyes. 2 For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much To detect and hate his error. 3 The words of his mouth are hurtful and deceptive; He shows no insight for doing what is good. 4 He plots hurtful schemes even on his bed. He is set on a path that is not good; He does not reject what is bad." May we always aim to please God, and help others do the same, using whatever wisdom God has given us for a good purpose, to strengthen others in the doing of good, as God instructs. Being truly honest with ourselves, God can offer the loving guidance we need.
"28 A troublemaker causes dissension, And a slanderer separates close friends."
(Pro16:28) Once again, ignoring God's word and law can cause one to be sidetracked in life, causing trouble rather than seeking peace with others. Without gentle kindness and self-control, our words can stir up wrong thoughts and feelings. Proverbs 3:7 says "Do not become wise in your own eyes. Revere Jehovoe and turn away from bad. 8 It will be a healing to your body And refreshment for your bones." As regards our speech, we should pause before saying just whatever comes into our mind--Think before we speak. A negative word about someone else usually does little to help a situation, and can cause pain to that one and others. Proverbs 12:18 says "Thoughtless speech is like the stabs of a sword, But the tongue of the wise is a healing." Rather than marring the name or reputation of others, let's seek wisdom from God to show mercy and help others correct their ways, rise to their potential to love as God does, truly loving our neighbor as ourselves.

Proverbs 16:29-33:
“29 A violent man entices his neighbor And leads him in the wrong way. 30 He winks his eye as he schemes harm. He pinches his lips together as he carries out mischief. 31 Gray hair is a crown of beauty When it is found in the way of righteousness. 32 The one slow to anger is better than a mighty man, And the one controlling his temper than one conquering a city. 33 The lot is cast into the lap, But every decision by it is from Jehovoe.”
(Pro16:29-30) The connection may not be clear here, but a violent man is not placing God first--rather is typically prideful, thinking his own ways are superior, and wants to draw undue attention to himself, rather than having proper regard for God and His ways. Such a person needs to realize the wrongness of his ways, and repent from such badness. Still violent and prideful, he may also be persuasive, and entices his neighbor to do as he pleases, feeling justified in his course of wrongdoing as others also comply. It is, however, “the wrong way.” Such a one tends to scheme badness, deceive, and trick others. While he might make his voice “gracious,” he is still violent, perhaps immoral, but not yet fully versed in mildness and compassionate patience with others. His anger may flare over any slight against him, even if intended as loving correction. While perhaps “loving” those who love him, he can also hate others, ‘scheming harm’ against them while winking his eye, feeling justified as he takes revenge on an innocent one. Proverbs 3:31-32 thus says “31 Do not envy the violent man Nor choose any of his ways, 32 For Jehovoe detests a devious person, But His close friendship is with the upright.” May such ones realize God's love for all and willingness to respond to requrests and needs as they may arise. May each one and all of us learn to steer clear of deception, trickery, and scheming against others, but instead let true love and peace dominate our motives for acting toward others with compassion and kindness. We must recognize God's love for all and the value of His inspired Word, the Bible, to help each one to make spiritual progress. May we choose to be upright before Jehovoe, seeking to please and honor Him as He so deserves as our Life-giver and ultimately “the Judge of all the earth.” (Genes 18:25).
"31 Gray hair is a crown of beauty When it is found in the way of righteousness."
(Pro16:31) Yes, Leviticus 19:32 states: “32 “‘Before gray hair you should rise up, and you must show consideration for the person of an old man, and you must be in awe of your God. I am Jehovoe.” Of course, do not older persons tend to be wiser with experience gained in life, but how much more so when such ones have treasured their relationships with God and others, seeking to live by the teachings of Christ! Thus learning to love God and neighbor, and seeking to live peaceably with others as they practice God’s right ways, hating what is bad in godly fear, would they not thus tend to have even more to share with younger ones to encourage them toward eternal life? May we delight in receiving of their encouragement and treasure dear faithful ones among us!
"32 The one slow to anger is better than a mighty man, And the one controlling his temper than one conquering a city."
(Pro16:32) What a powerful proverb, encouraging genuine patience among true worshippers of God. Who hasn't been at least irritated when something goes seriously wrong in their life? Of course, a minor offense or mishap is one thing. If you have been wronged or seriously hurt by others, then feeling hurt or frustrated is quite understandable. It is normal to have these feelings, but we need to keep them in check, to avoid taking vengeance in our own hands, overstepping justice by sinning or hurting another. God is the One whose word says "Vengeance is mine--I shall repay, says Jehovoe." Let's thus maintain control and act quickly to find a resolution to the problem. As King David encouraged at Psalm 37: “8 Let go of anger and abandon rage; Do not become upset and turn to doing evil. 9 For evil men will be done away with, But those hoping in Jehovoe will possess the earth.” Returning to normal problems or offenses: Naturally, something may begin to agitate or even irritate us—this is the time to act, to channel any energy into finding a solution to the problem or seeing how to cope with it. Do not allow such irritation to escalate beyond reason into anger that disrupts your ability to think clearly, and often causes hurt feelings and other damage. This is well expressed at Psalm 4:4: "Be agitated, but do not sin. Have your say in your heart, upon your bed, and keep silent." By cultivating self-control, mild gentleness in dealing with others, love and patience, channeling any energy into finding solutions, we may safeguard our relationships to the delight of our loved ones, friends, and neighbors, and especially the God who “is love,” Jehovoe (1John 4:8).
"33 The lot is cast into the lap, But every decision by it is from Jehovoe.”
(Pro16:33) This was a God-approved way in ancient Israel for certain matters to be determined. God has ways to give us answers we need! Thus we needn’t turn to witchcraft and sorcery to have divine direction in our life. Rather, we need to reject witchcraft and sorcery, and 'looking for omens,' all part of “spiritism,” which is considered by God to be one of the “works of the flesh” that can disqualify one from eternal happiness (Galat 5:19-21). The practice of spiritism includes the use of such things as Ouija boards and Tarot cards. Let’s turn to God! For instance, whose help would you rather have in finding a loyal marriage partner—Jehovoe God’s or one of his enemies, such as the demons? Does not our loving and considerate God want to count you worthy of receiving His assistance? Cannot Jehovoe, the God of love, know you well, what you delight in and desire, and help you find someone you can truly delight to share life with? In fact, the first book of the Bible, Genesis, contains the actual history regarding descendants of Abraham, where Jehovoe intervened to bring loyal persons together in heart-stirring love stories—Isaac and Rebekah, and Jacob and Rachel, also Leah. This was real history—the early origin of the Jewish people, as Jacob would proceed to have 12 sons, mostly constituting the 12 tribes of Israel. Thus, “Trust in Jehovoe with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways take notice of him, And he will make your paths straight.” (Prove 3:5-6). Receive of God’s loving guidance available, for example, in Josha’s Sermon on the Mount of Matthew 5-7, and the book of Proverbs, starting with chapters 1-10. With Proverbs, don’t be discouraged over the “big words” in the first few verses—use a dictionary if necessary, or benefit from my commentary—these words refer to some of the aspects of true wisdom that you will gain understanding of as you read this book, which God has provided in part “to give to a young man knowledge and thinking ability.” While even youths can benefit from proverbial guidance, this should come gradually. It is especially a young man or woman who needs familiarity with such wisdom to handle the greater responsibilities being placed upon them. Pray to God for help to understand this book, and utilize resources such as this website. James says “So if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching, and it will be given him. 6 But let him keep asking in faith, not doubting at all...” (James 1:5-6).

Proverbs 17:1-3
"1 Better is a piece of dry bread where there is peace Than a house full of feasting along with quarreling. 2 A servant with empathy will gain more respect than a son who acts shamefully; He will share in the inheritance as one of the brothers. 3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But Jehovoe is the examiner of hearts."
Pro17:1: Genuine peace. A primary aim for lovers of God. Happy are the peaceable, or the "peacemakers," since they will be called sons of God. Peacemakers generally manifest humility, with due respect for others, and the other tender affections of Colossians 3:12, along with self-control. They are able to control their reactions, thinking about the results, to give a mild or gentle response to an angry word, maintaining peace. These are qualities we can pray for, and that also lead to true joy of heart, satisfaction and contentment.
"2 A servant with empathy will gain more respect than a son who acts shamefully; He will share in the inheritance as one of the brothers."
Pro17:2: Empathy mentioned here is a compassionate understanding of others and their situations. When we can see what others are facing or going through, "the empathy of a man certainly slows down his anger, and it is beauty on his part to overlook an offense." We're not so quick to get angry at another when we compassionately understand the reasons for the offense. We are more inclined to forgive, or overlook it. Whether a son, or a servant, we should one and all cultivate insight, or empathy for others.
"3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But Jehovoe is the examiner of hearts."
Pro17:3: Jehovoe God examines the hearts and motives of all. Are we motivated, like Jesus or Josha, to "always do the things pleasing to Him?" We want to seek God's honor, and let Him primarily take care of our reputation. Recall that God's Son Josha innocently suffered as a terrible criminal, yet what was Jehovoe able to do as regards his reputation afterward and long-term? While we may take reasonable steps to safeguard our reputation before others, can you nevertheless trust God with your long-term reputation, as you put Him first in life, holding to His standards, with a good and pure heart and motive? You may be rightly proud of others or even yourself for doing so, as this requires humility, rejecting selfish egopride, but such will find the blessing of Almighty God.

Proverbs 17:4-7:
"4 An ungodly man pays attention to hurtful speech, And a deceptive man listens to a malicious tongue. 5 Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker, And whoever rejoices over another’s disaster will not go unpunished. 6 Grandsons are a crown to the aged, And fathers are the glory of their sons. 7 Upright speech does not befit a fool. How much less does false speech befit a ruler!"
Pro17:4 What powerful insight! True Christians should turn away from harmful and malicious speech that is harsh, painful, hurting others, including slanderous speech that tears down the reputation of others. Wherever possible, let's feed our minds and hearts on upbuilding, positive speech that loves truth, and encourages and strengthens others, imparting peace and true inner joy. (ref. article "Encouraging Upbuilding Speech")
"5 Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker, And whoever rejoices over another’s disaster will not go unpunished."
Pro17:5 What counsel against prejudice! We should seek to love and respect, or give dignity, to all persons, although we may have more affection for those near us, loving God as well, as we grow in brotherly affection for one another and we loyally obey God (and love others) together. (1Pete 1:22) Those who are poor materially or spiritually typically had sad or unfortunate circumstances, that most any person could face in their lifetime. As God's word elsewhere says, "Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep." (Roman 12:15) We should have compassion for one facing such a situation. For instance, such a person may not be aware of services that are locally available for their need. If we can discern that they are sincerely in need of help, with discretion we may choose to help such a person, whether materially, or spiritually, or both. (1John 3:17-18)
James 2:15-17 says: "If any brothers or sisters are lacking clothing and enough food for the day, 16 yet one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but you do not give them what they need for their body, of what benefit is it? 17 So, too, faith by itself, without works, is dead." The Scriptures thus encourage us to make enough income to care wisely for the needs of ourselves and our family, with something saved, and at least a bit left over to assist someone in need. (see also 1John 3:17).
"6 Grandsons are a crown to the aged, And fathers are the glory of their sons."
Pro17:6 Sons raised to love God and His ways, and loving their parents and grandparents, bring them due honor. Such parents prayerfully and wisely look to God for direction and guidance in life, and lovingly instruct their children in the right way to live. May families be moved to look to God, "the One to whom every family in heaven and on earth owes its name." (Ephes 3:15).
"7 Upright speech does not befit a fool. How much less does false speech befit a ruler!"
Pro17:7 Upright speech is not typical of a foolish person, while we would encourage such a person to humble themselves before God and listen to His counsel and correction. A ruler likewise should not be known for speaking lies. While still using discretion, truthful speech in the wisdom of God is fitting for such a person. Others should be respectful of what an upright ruler chooses or chooses not to reveal about a matter.

PROVERBS COMMENTARY
Proverbs 17:8-10
"8 A gift is like a precious stone to its owner; Everywhere he turns, it brings him success. 9 Whoever forgives a transgression seeks love, But the one who keeps harping on a matter separates close friends. 10 A rebuke makes a deeper impression on one having understanding Than striking a mischievous person a hundred times."
Pro17:8 This is Jehovoe's word--sometimes a colorful uncut gemstone can have a positive influence! Since God is the Creator, He is the One enabling the good that may come from such stones! But how fine a useful gift from someone--let's be mindful of others and their needs, not just our own.
"9 Whoever forgives a transgression seeks love, But the one who keeps harping on a matter separates close friends."
Pro17:9 What insight! With love in our hearts, we don't wish for someone to suffer excessive sorrow over a mistake, whether a minor one or a serious one--rather, when their grief is appropriate to the offense, which isn't always perceivable, we're eager in love to forgive them, and try not to bring it up again. This does not mean every mistake must be treated as if no mistake ever took place--an individual should be truly repentant over a wrong if we're to gain trust them in a similar matter in the future. Still, we want to forgive them wherever we reasonably can. One typically needs real attention and help of the right kind if they have shown little no remorse over a serious error. Recall the Model Prayer, requesting that God forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven others. Therefore, an unforgiving or unmerciful person, on the other hand, may be dealing treacherously with relationships, being somewhat disloyal to God and others by not seeking to resolve a matter in peace. See Psalm 103 for God's view of mercy in more detail.
"10 A rebuke makes a deeper impression on one having understanding Than striking a mischievous person a hundred times."
Pro17:10 Let's help our dear young ones to grow in understanding by answering their questions whenever possible. Perhaps an occasional youngster could use help to know better when not to ask a question, or a better question to ask, but still this is how they grow in understanding of life. Perhaps just help some learn to be more choosey in the questions they ask. Encourage them to ask you, especially regarding things pertaining to divine knowledge of God, life and spirituality. Your loving corrections, and timely explanation, or even if a rebuke is necessary, may well reach deeper in their hearts, reducing need of more discipline later.

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

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

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

Formatting, clarity on (8B) location. (d.621Hvn, f704Fri 10:58-59 am; 8:18,28,36; 9:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well and a happy sorta 4th! I've completed the text of the podcast Winit500 theme of last November, w0840-44 U.S. Election for President, 2024. It is in the list under (1B) the Win-it Minute Series work., podcast available on Spotify, elsewhere. Also, don't forget about the Significantly Revised article, What It Means To Be Righteous or Upright, on the Top Menu above. Let's continue to look to God and Christ above, as we navigate current circumstances--there is much we can accomplish together when we look above and stand for what's true and right, and what the Founders of our Nation stood for, the same, and looking for God's blessing for things to be as they should. Let's not assume that just because someone may want us to believe a lie, that we just need to go along with it--that's not who we are! Americans across our nation voted, elected me President of the United States, for good reason, and I'm the one blessed by God to be so, doing what I can despite our circumstances--recall that Donald Trump acknowledged at one point that he was not the President of the United States, but seems to have managed to sweep that under the carpet somehow. Nevertheless we want the best for all, recognizing God's love for all, but we also want our Nation truly as it Should Be, and as GOD will blessing it to Become! ALSO POSTED (7) Proverbs B Commentary, chapter 11 conclusion, verses 27-31! (d.620Wdn, f703Thu 8:03 am; 9:38,55,58; 10:50 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well!

Titles. Some correction. (d.619Too, f702Wed 9:59 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted (3) Proverbs A, chapter 4, verses 24-27, concluding chapter 4. (d.618Moo, f701Tue 7:08-09,15,31,44,48,58; 8:03 am; 7:17,59 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Got the Podcast Episode 1 Text posted from yesterday, on the W5a w0840-44 U.S. Election for President 2024, listed under the (1B) Win-it Minute Series, explaining how Donald was attempting to defraud the public by claiming victory in the Presidential election, covering the TRUE results of the election by America. Later, however, as addressed in a later podcast, and after still staging an inauguration, he was willing at one point to be honest with the American people and admit that he was "not the President of the United States", as many who voted for me (and Washington, etc.) hopefully are coming to realize. I've also posted the 2025 Claim to Presidency text in the main body of Winit5to9 Posts, with the more recent Harvard and Issue of Government posts to follow sometime. Formatting, text accuracy. Now also, posted (7) Proverbs B, PR-B(11.5) chapter 11, verses 22-26. Formatting. (d.617Son, f630Mon 5:33-34; 8:56,58; 9:53; 10:22,36,48 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've moved last year's podcast from after the 2024 November election to the top of my Find Life And See Podcast on Spotify, W5a w0840-44 U.S. Election for President 2024. I have a place for the text of this podcast below, which I intend to begin posting today. NOW please consider carefully (when you are able) the PIP article below, Names of God and Christ, Clarified, for a carefully composed revision! You may also see the Note from yesterday, just below, regarding God's Name. Updates. (d.616Fan, f629Sun 10:16,18,34 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! As I've occasionally referred to, there has been interference by some, trying to corrupt good work or rob me of much of my own work, whether claiming my own website articles or my podcast work, ideas/designs/patents, etc., and especially even my rightful win as President of the United States, after already being the true 46th President of the United States, fully expecting this time to finally make it to the White House, where I can be and do fully what the American people have looked forward and expect me to be and do. Another thing has come to my attention--my work on restoring God's true name. At one point I was clarifying God's name to be JEHOVAHZ, not Jehovalz. Someone with power attempted to take credit for this, and try to cause confusion about JEHOVALZ, which is now understood to be one of the three GODs that make up the Complete JEHOVAHZ. While knowing Him as a GOD of Vows/Valz, altogether He brings things about, especially His will, in many ways, not only by the keeping of Promises. I'll be updating the website accordingly, and the NAMES of God and Christ article, to again reflect this position. I've already updated the recently posted (4B) Psalm 119 Review 4 Stanzas 01-11 to reflect this change. Also now the most recent (3) Proverbs A, PR-A(4.5). Also (7) Proverbs B, PR-B(11.4) Correction.

Notes, Formatting NOTES: (25d.515 Slv, f526 Mon 1:56, 9:41; 10:23 am; 3:41; 6:29 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Updating, I've added posts on blogpost 2, finishing the Ten Commandments and adding a Persistent post of 4B, Psalm 119 Intro of Stanzas 1-4. Also, let me clarify that there are places on the 3 blogposts that are meant to be filled as the half quarter (month and a half) proceeds, and the 3A-C blogposts have not been up all that long. So the move to 4A-C up through month 6 will allow more posts as on the site previously, before the new format. Soon adding two Psalm Selects to the Persistent/Introductory Posts on this blogpage. Posted,both Psalms 1 and 15. Now, added posts to pages 2 and 3. This includes 4A Godz Lawl posts in PIP, Persistent/Introductory Posts, and another Godz Lawl post in segment 4A, on the Golden Rule, also in (5) Eternal Express, on Protecting Peace from Ephesians 4-5, and (6) Golden Bellz, on the Salvtuday dayname recommendation from Saltuday. Also, added the 7) article under the CTC Foundational list, actually the original 5th article, Realities of God's Government and Beneficial Standards, and then to (9) Godlove Home, I added the article Aim to Develop True Loyal Love. Misc. updates. 25d.514Prz,f525Sun 8:53 am; 1:15,29,56; 6:29 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted 1B-1 so far the Conclusion of the podcast Proper View of God and Life Rewarding, the episode 5 w0834 having become a theme for my campaign, entitled 'Restore Good - Move Forward'. Also, posted this year's entire podcast, the carryover as Winit5to9, w0850-0854, with the theme: 2025 Claim to Presidency. This is under segment (1B) as 1B-3. Also, yesterday's 13th of Month 5 was Thunderday, a day when you more often will hear thunder as from God, realizing He can lend forth His mighty voice to things taking place, as a God of true justice, reminding us of His power, truth, and love. Still there have been interferences, etc.--NOT all storms are from God. Today's 8-Day Calendar day is the second week's Friday, the first week of two being Starzday, for movie-going, etc, with the second being Prayerzday, which begins a four-day or five-day weekend, a day which could also be used for entering court pleas, etc. Prayers of course help all to maintain closeness to God and His Son, and provisions for life. Also, 1A posts, WGA-A, previous. The reference is 1A-2 Previous GA(1A-102-217) on Presidency, Economy, Tariffs, Govt Cuts, etc. This post is originally from the 2025 2/8 START page (blogpost 1), where it (in 2 posts) may still be found. Correction made to most of those individual posts for this page to match the original reference number format, for technical purposes; I will make that change if appropriate on the next blogpost 4A/8A, planning to carry it over. 25d.513Thd,f524Sat 5:31; 6:20-21,39-40; 7:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted 1A-3 Golden Apples Post, GA(008) On the Number Eight (8). Included as a Latest GA post. Also soon to come, a Psalm 19 rendition. Posted, as latest and Psalms Post 1, numbered 2.1. Updates Psalm 19, note. 25d.512Wnd,f523Fri 9:18-23; 10:15 am; 9:50-53,55,59; 10:27,33,37; 11;11:08-09,59 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've added another post to (1A) WGA-A, after the A-306 from last night, on the Penny news. This one, A-307, is regarding an important lesson from ancient Greece. Again, these are on this blogpost 1 below, under segment 1A (Weekly) Golden Apples. Also now another (3) Proverbs A, PR-A(3.6), chapter 3, verses 31-35, concluding chapter 3. NOTE : Now letting you know I'm planning to fill-in the missing pieces on the 3 blogposts, but possibly just on the new 4A-C/8A-C posts which normally begin from the middle of month 5 through month 6. Most of the work done on 3A-C/8A-C will be carried over into the 4's. Along with adding WGA-A/B posts, planning especially the next 2 days if possible. I could however finish the essentials on the 3A-C's in time for Memorial Day, then carry over most into the 4's to post a day or two later. The reason this may be better is that we, as the United States, should not be ignoring the 8-Day Calendar, which half the world is already on, as a step forward in life, toward a greater world of peace, with God's blessing. After all, it originated here, in the U.S. with God's blessing on me, so why should we consider being the last to begin using it, unless we're helping others to get on it before us, like people getting into lifeboats before the captain of a ship that's slowly sinking, but such an illustration is NOT to apply to us, or in this situation, except for our captains having such genuine concern for those under their care! God's spirit is still with us to straighten things out, and to have a leading role in bringing blessings from God to other countries, even as "one nation under God". Perhaps we may begin thinking in terms of the 8-Day, I could reference the days in an article/post to remind of the purpose of the day, which I believe God is blessing for it's particular purpose that day, whether it's to strengthen our bodies with the right kind of salt intake, or acknowledging that the day might be more windy like today really was here on this Windyday the 12th of the 5th month Agreehelp (Agr). But I realize it would help for me to get where I should, and the true election results regarding the U.S. President to be acknowledged, which was or is not simple due to the AI media control that Donald had over DC, VA, and MD for the last 4-5 years or more, with at least TV, radio, and internet in the region, beginning likely with smaller measures aimed to lessen opposition to his reputation or ideas. Not everyone knew that I was on the ballot in 48 states last November, with much backing across the nation. 25d.511Tro,f522Thu 6:04,07-08,21; 7:11 am; 11:18,53 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added an Introductory/Persistent Post, Aim to Develop True Loyal Love. More work, including WGA-A/B posts today...Initially prayers that food can continue to get into Palestine, where some 11,000 lives of children and adults are currently being threatened daily, and that love and diplomacy, or mindful and peaceable discussion, be the way, rather than more war or violence. Also, other matters of course need attention. Let love and truth prevail again, as it may rest in our hearts and minds. Added to WGA-A the post (A-306), Last Run of the Penny (As We Know It)? Update. 25d.510Mnd,p521Wed 9:08-09 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 3, verses 27-30. 25d.509Rih,p520Tue 6:41,50 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added some GA posts. More coming on all 3 blogposts, and WGA! If you noticed, the post on Former U.S. Initiatives on Coal is on the blogpost 3, (8B) WGA-B on post 2C/8C, numbered (1-217). 25d.508,p519Mon 9:06-08 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well!

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

Recall addressing you more on this page has been temporary, until completing the new format for all 3 Blogposts, wanting them to display in order, needing to start with the third and work back for this to happen (normally I write most of these notes on Blogpost 1, the START page/post). I've finished with the formatting for this Blogpost 3, and am moving on to the other two! I plan sometime today to have Blogpost 2 started with a Psalm 119 posting from stanza 8, and with it being Saturday on the 7-Day calendar, would recommend the song Back In Time, from the movie Back to the Future, as regards, while being royal, in this case confusion over my election win(s) for President, but getting me where the President should be, especially the true one God is blessing to be so, that I may truly accomplish what the American people voted for me to serve as President and do, looking forward to what God prepared me over much time to be able to do! I've become aware of an adjustment, and am making it, to make two lists on the segment 8, a CTC list and a WGA-B list, rather than mixing them. Complete. (25d.432Fan,f509Fri 8:45,53; 11:46 am; 10:39-40 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! The post of WGA-B, (B-303) now soon to come! Topic is chosen, etc. I apologize again for the delays or the being delayed in various ways, although I aim once again to be more consistent as I had in the past with making posts on thinking and activity. Part of the reason for this has been my continued aims to be where the true U.S. President, blessed by God, should be, as I know many share this important standard that our nation has upheld in most elections throughout it's history! Added the post (B-303), Regarding Department Cuts, Some Excessive...Also posted to Seg.8 LIST (25d.430 Prz,f507 Wed 7:13,15,19 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well!

This is posted as the LATEST CTC POST, as well as the FIRST in the list of CURRENT CTC/WGA-B Posts, as (8.1).

I've again had some interferences, for which I apologize. (25d.424Fwn,501Thu 5:08-09 pm EDT) Hello, and welcome! I've had delays, but posted is now the podcast example policy insertion into the Foundation articles from the Podcast series, WM2, on Pushing Reset: Letting Work Become More Enjoyable, Rewarding!

Added to the CTC Foundational articles with the inserted one mentioned previously, helping see the place of government in relation to God and His Kingdom. Also, I've posted one of the Persistent Posts, a CTC on Proper View of Law(l). (25/421Hvn,428Mon 3:27,53; 7:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I know this is blogpost 3, but I'm in the process of preparing to post all 3, and I wanted this third one posted first, so that it appears third in the list after the other two are up. I went ahead and included a few posts on this page, including another (7) Proverbs B (ch 11-20), from chapter 10, verses 28-32, the conclusion of that chapter. Also, the CTC Foundational articles I've been intending to post for a while now, but which were on a previous post from last year, I'm also posting. The CTC Corner (Come to Consensus Corner) Startup post is included, as well as now four of the first 5 articles/policies. There is another newer article I've planned to include among this grouping, believing it's more helpful now to underscore some important things relating God's interest and much-needed blessing on good government, to maintain civilized society, often taken for granted. Up to 4 CTC articles!

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