NOTE: I should also address this notion that was recently put forward that working to gain "consensus" on something is not showing real "leadership." While I believe that this idea was expressed possibly to discredit me or this website when someone was working to promote his own political campaign, I would plead with any who may be inclined to believe that statement to look up the word 'consensus' in a respectable dictionary to find that it involves bringing people together to agree on something of importance, which I think is clearly something that a good leader should want to do.

WILDFIRES--SEEKING SOLUTIONS

In the News...

GA Last updates: 23/607,727,815,A29 added "Spring" to Low-Mineral (S.) Water; Purchase of Unmixed Fuel Prior to Mixing/Reducing. Oct 29 (A29) Update adds instructions for Octagon/45 Degree Line Approach to fighting fire, etc.

SEE: 2023 OCT 29 (23/A29) UPDATE below!

It is hoped that, with the recent Wildfires raging in California and Canada, and now Virginia, North Carolina and elsewhere, 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, and without further harm to wildlife and foliage.

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.

Of course this possibility has been confirmed.

2023 Aug 15 UPDATE! While everything below is acceptable and ideal, as mentioned there have been attempts by sellers to pass off cheaper mixed or reduced fuel as if it were true Unmixed. As mentioned, this must be understood and conveyed as Extremely Unethical and hazardous. Emphasis was placed below on ensuring that Only Unmixed Kerosene/Jet Fuel Continue to be Purchased, and the mixing performed at fuelup as explained below. A new standard is now being recommended that STILL allows for Environmentally Friendly use against Wildfires, increasing the fuel mixture to hedge against fuel range issues. The NEW RATIO should be 1:2, or 1/3 Jet Fuel and 2/3 Approved water. The resulting aircraft range would now normally be about 3/4 rather than half.

2023 OCT 29 (23/A29) UPDATE! Please understand that pure jet fueled aircraft should not be used to fight fires--the resulting spray over the fire is toxic to the environment, to the animals, especially certain sensitive membranes such as their eyes, and is only 2X as effective as plain water at reducing the fire. The combination as described below is THE BALANCE that is needed to produce a SAFE Combo that works well, similar to toxic sodium and chloride mixing to make edible salt. Now I've noticed two other wildfires that are increasing, one in Virginia (VA) and one in North Carolina (NC). There is a method I proposed that may have been used effectively to fight a threatening wildfire in Honolulu in a recent month. If a current/very recent photo from above can be obtained of the entire wildfire, with some reference to scale/dimensions, OUTLINE the entire fire using a SIMPLE OCTAGON OR 45 DEGREE LINE method on or just outside the edges of the fire (anticipating possible growth by time of releases). THE FIRE ITSELF SHOULD BE TARGETED, not just the area outside of it. By this simple method, actual length of entire lines or releases can be calculated, and divided up among aircraft. Have at least two in each aircraft, so that a copilot can watch out for other aircraft while the pilot can give more of his attention on the drop or drops (still watching out some to extent possible). Have the aircraft involved release on one line at a time, all aircraft aiming together to complete each 45 Deg. Line.

2023 Jun 07 & Jul 27 & Aug 15 & Oct 29 Updates: 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 UPDATE! NOW a 1/3 or 1:2 mixture of Jet Fuel and Low-Mineral Spring 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 2 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) two times the fuel amount, in this case 1.0 gal. Continue in this way, ALWAYS adding the UNMIXED JET FUEL FIRST, then up to the twofold 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 2/3 approved water, aircraft range is reduced only to at least half, actually NOW about 3/4, which is still usually quite adequate, as jets typically can travel many thousands of miles before refueling, although care must be given to ensure systems always have adequate supply, and fuel gages are monitored as normal. 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 1/3 with any water (resulting in a 1/9 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.

2023 Aug 10 & Aug 15 Update: Further, it should be clear from the above that no one should be passing off or selling already Reduced or Mixed Jet Fuel as if it is Pure and Unmixed--This is Extremely Unethical--Those Purchasing Jet Fuel MUST BE CLEAR that they are selling and purchasing PURE UNMIXED JET FUEL, as they should be the ones to decide whether to Mix the Fuel, WITH the Environmental Advantages mentioned above, and Overall Substantial Cost Savings But Reduced Flight Range of Distance, again to at least half, now about 3/4, still quite adequate for typical flight purposes AS LONG AS THIS IS UNDERSTOOD BY THE PILOT(S)! Also, FOR ANY AIRCRAFT involved in fighting a wildfire, etc., as recent incidents underscore, there should be a pilot and co-pilot involved in flight, with the co-pilot responsible largely for watching out for any obstacles to flight, especially Other Nearby Aircraft, to protect the safety of all involved. This message was passed along in the last few days but is being reiterated and made more public here.

AIM TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN TRUE LOYAL LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER

This Loyal Love as described in God's word has many appealing and helpful aspects and associated qualities, such as patience, self-control, and gentle mildness, all of which can do wonders to relationships!

LOYALTY. The term "patience" or "patient," also having been rendered "long-suffering," as sometimes used in the Scriptures may more accurately be translated as "loyalty." One translation of a proverb, for instance says this: "By PATIENCE a commander is won over..." (Proverbs 25:15). What commander of an army is deeply impressed by a man's PATIENCE? While an important quality, is is not rather a man's LOYALTY that deeply impresses such a commander? This is an important aspect of true love: Loyalty in a relationship, according to the definition as used in the Scriptures, enables one to put up with a disturbance in a relationship, while attempts are made in God-approved ways to right the course, or correct the problem, all with blazing hope of a restoration or attainment of an approved condition before God. Patience is involved, then, but so are other qualities, aspects of loyal love.

MILDNESS, or GENTLENESS carries great strength, in spite of the idea of some that it is somehow weak or ineffective. The same proverb mentioned above goes on to says that a "gentle tongue can break a bone"! Of course, this is referring, not to a literal bone, but a figurative one--for example a bone of contention or pride that may be strongly fixed in someone. Mild gentleness is such an appealing quality, that proud hearts have melted over the continual effects of this quality practiced upon them! This quality may be best defined Scripturally by Paul's words to the Thessalonian congregation, at 1Thessalonians 2:7: "On the contrary, we became gentle in your midst, as when a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children." This quality may best be practiced when someone speaks an angry word to another. How do you handle the situation? If you have self-control, you can choose not to react "in kind" or in the same way, but rather, with a "mild answer," or a gentle response, that can defuse an intense situation. Proverbs 15:1 says this: "A mild(soft) answer turns away rage, But a harsh word stirs up anger." We can choose, with self-control, to offer a mild answer, with a calming effect, or a harsh word, that will only escalate the problem, stirring up more angry feelings in the other person. WHICH CHOICE MAKES THE BEST SENSE TO PRESERVE THE PEACE OF OUR FAMILY?

SELF-CONTROL is vital for every person in the family. Our reasons for saying and doing things are to be based ultimately on the knowledge of God and His right ways, that we may gain the self-control or discipline to think clearly and make wise decisions--to choose our speech and actions that will have a good effect on others and ourselves, pleasing God. Children must develop a measure of self-control early, so as to listen to their parents or guardians, especially their warnings of danger or wrong conduct that could bring harm to themselves or others, spiritually or physically. If a matter is causing anyone in the family IRRITABILITY, that is the time to stop, take a breath, and take action before irritability turns to becoming upset, angry, and causing hurt feelings or worse. TAKE ACTION AS SOON AS YOU RECOGNIZE THE IRRITABILITY! It is then time to CHANNEL all the energy into FINDING A WORKABLE OR AGREEABLE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, or SEEING HOW TO COPE WITH IT, UNTIL THE SITUATION MAY IMPROVE IN THE FUTURE.

AVOID CONSTANT CRITICISM. One more caution, try not to be nagging others in a critical way. It is one thing to occasionally encourage someone in a gentle, loving manner to correct an unpleasant habit, for instance. But it is quite another to constantly use bitter language to find fault with the person, which may provoke quarrels. Each of us should want to avoid becoming as described in God's word as a "ridiculer" ["one who ridicules others"], "scoffer" ["one expressing scorn, or hatred for others"], or a "reviler" ["one who reviles or speaks abusively of others"]. It may be important for some to recognize that there is usually a way to speak the truth about something without being overly blunt or harsh. Please be careful to be considerate of the feelings of others in not only what we say, but how we say it! All, of course, can aim to be respectful and considerate of one another in what they both say and do. Let's AIM FOR RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER, CONSIDERATION FOR ANOTHER'S FEELINGS, AND THE PRACTICE OF TRUE LOYAL LOVE! If in spite of such encouragement, things do not improve, there may be definite physical or health issues contributing, such as ongoing pollutants in air, water or food, or other such influences that with God's help may be identified and adequately addressed!

A fine consideration for the family may be the article "LOVE EXAMINED," found elsewhere on this website, which offers a point by point consideration of Paul's description of love found in 1Corinthians 13:4-8.

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.

HEALTH AND HYDRATION, DRINKING WATER, PURIFIED HOW?

A REAL NEED. Most people realize from an early age how much we need and benefit from water. Whether its taking a bath or shower, swimming, or drinking a cold, refreshing cup of water on a hot day, we realize that our bodies need water, or hydration, to function at it's best. Yet, many have also come to realize in our modern society that there have been occasional pollutants that have been recognized in some water sources, that have been a cause for concern, and we count on providers such as bottled water producers to take the necessary precautions to protect consumers. For this reason, various filtration and treatment processes have been employed. It is important to realize that in many cases it is the FORM that a substance or element presents that will determine whether it has a positive or negative effect on the body. For instance, did you know that ocean water, and many reknown mineral springs or drinking waters, have a plethora of trace minerals found therein, that accompany the more well-known minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium? These may also be found in a good sea salt, or salt mined from ancient seabeds, such as healthful Pink Himalayan salt, and Redmond Real Salt. Ocean salt water, of course, is not normally meant for drinking as-is, but did you know that the process known as Reverse-Osmosis, is actually meant for converting SALTY SEA water to a water suitable for drinking? The resulting unsalty water in this case still does contain minerals and trace minerals, in the same IONIC form as found in sea water, which is a form that your body can turn either organic or inorganic, depending on your needs at the time.

NEED FOR MINERALS. However, our bodies usually need organic minerals the most, and these are found in a good mineral spring water. Does your body need such minerals, or electrolytes, to function properly? YES! Our bodies rely on such minerals to relay electrical impulses to function properly, so drinking overly purified water, which has often removed nearly all minerals and trace minerals, can be gradually reducing our bodies' abilities to function in such a way, and could eventually result in unexpected or unanticipated events, such as a collapse or fall, even into unconsciousness. Our bodies also need bicarbonate, especially sodium bicarbonate (i.e., baking soda), which is part of the salty taste of ocean water. This should be found in many of our foods and natural beverages, such as fruit juices, but is often lost to typical processing methods. When present, bicarbonate benefits the body in numerous ways, and can be part of healthy water processing in large- or small-scale municipal systems. When minerals are found in their proper form, and at beneficial levels in our bodies, we have a better chance of thriving and maintaining more stamina in our day-to-day life, as God intended! It has been found that Reverse-Osmosis, while removing impurities, removes nearly all minerals and trace minerals when used to treat well- or spring water. Some companies, however, such as PUR and to a greater extent AQUASANA (now with a North American headquarters in the U.S.), have developed award-winning water filtration processes that also retain good important minerals and trace minerals in the water, resulting in healthful drinking water, with such systems capable of serving the needs of even large numbers of people. Noteworthy also is the correct use of proper ozonation (O3) in water treatment. This may actually be effective against some so-called "forever" pollutants, making news recently. Also, why not look ahead to more compact gallon jugs of water that could fit better in a refrigerator, be used to fill portable cold cups/mugs, and to return for re-use, reducing need for small bottle recycling?

Earlier R03.210c, UPDATED

This update: R05.253, footnote update 4/14/2023

ONE HOUSE-FIRE SOLUTION! An issue has come to light regarding those power-strips, making possible the connecting of several components to a single household electrical outlet. The issue is a serious one, involving electrical fire risk.

A typical home electrical outlet, which is sometimes called a receptacle, is in all actuality a duplex, which most realize that two receptacles are usually provided at each wall outlet. Indications are increasing that a power strip, not so much by it's individual design, but rather by it's very function, actually draws on nearly all the power of the entire outlet from the single receptacle plug. The point is this: Strange electrical things can take place when both a power strip and a lamp or other device of some sort are plugged into the same outlet together, potentially leading to a possible electrical fire catastrophe.

Therefore, when a power strip is in use, there should be no other device plugged in to the other receptacle in that same outlet--instead, another normal device should be among those plugged into the power strip itself--the outlet in this case should be solely and entirely for supporting the power strip only. However, it is usually understood that a power strip itself should not be overloaded. A device with a heavy power usage, such as a plasma TV, is best plugged in a separate outlet by itself, just like a power strip should be. A dummy plug or child-safe plug should be placed in the other receptacle with a clear notice or message NOT TO BE REMOVED as long as the power strip is associated to that outlet.

A careful check should be performed in every home to determine whether an unsafe condition now exists, so as to correct any such condition. All of us doing so, and alerting loved ones, friends, and neighbors to this potentially hazardous condition, may dramatically reduce the tearful number of house-fires nationwide and abroad.

ALSO, If corrections are not made, and such a fire begins, it usually is sourced INSIDE THE WALL. Therefore, using some of the fire extinguisher/etc. may buy time but MAY NOT COMPLETELY HALT THE FIRE, UNLESS you can SWITCH OFF THE POWER STRIP AND/OR OTHER DEVICE, OR use a thick glove or something to unplug the devices, which may be very hot, and then if necessary a sledgehammer or something similar is used to get behind the wall to reach the source of the flame! Aside from applying what you now know, real solutions have been found for this situation, for both temporary and permanent corrections, in cooperation with well-respected partners, as I'll soon update in a related CTC Corner article. This article is from segment (8) of my blog, Come to Consensus Corner, dated 2023 Jan 02-29, article under CTC[6] entitled Realities of God's Kingdom and Beneficial Standards, paragraph headed: One Such Intervention.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES had a significant increase in sales this past quarter, with some drop in price, despite some issues regarding public access to charging stations and some lingering safety concerns. What are some facts worth considering for any new purchases?

While it is true that many consider Electric Vehicles to be the wave of the future, it is actually not the only environmentally conscientious option. During my 2020 Presidential election campaign I discovered a method for making a Zero-carbon natural gasoline functioning no differently that has been in limited use in regular gasoline engine vehicles with no negative impacts, truly REDUCING our carbon footprint. Also of import, people should be aware, especially regarding earlier EV models, that an occasional situation leading to quick acceleration has contributed to neck thrust that could be serious, and should have led to recalls for mechanical or electronic upgrades. A recommendation was made for two gears for EVs, LOW and HIGH. It was/is recommended that the changeover between gears take place about 40 mph, a speed limit that is somewhat rare--limits are much more common as either 35mph or 45 mph. I recommend that 41 be used, this allowing for a 45mph speed with a few mph slowdown, etc., without any gearing change. Likewise, a 35-39 mph speed limit could be in effect, meaning normally 35mph, but allowance for an increase to 39 when passing etc. to limit unsafe travel situations, again without any gearing shifts at the 41mph crossover. Another idea I had: I believe EVs with the Low-High Gear Implementation, could also benefit by my shared patented technology conversion system for allowing a tank for gasoline that can be converted to electric power, making for another type of HYBRID EV that can solve the charging travel challenge, eliminating the need for charging stations in every corner of the world. Rather, such stations might be in use at sensible places such as sit-down restaurants, hotels/motels, malls or movie theaters, etc. In agreement with the patent, Why couldn't many current EV's be retro-fitted with solid tank storage for gasoline located in the frontmost portion of a car's trunk, leading to a safe fillup point/method, and leaving plenty of room still for misc. trunk storage space. Also, why couldn't the "supreme" fuel using No-carbon gas become a double-concentration (possible, getting twice the gas mileage), although more expensive, for a higher efficiency fuel for use in the smaller tanks in such Hybrid EVs? I believe some sensible solutions as these will make for a more balanced solution approach for an increasingly eco-friendly and stable world as well as U.S. and world economy.

TOPIC: RETHINKING HALLOWEEN

The month of October for many means a month of in-between temperatures, usually some leaves or color changes, a later harvest of apples and pumpkins, and ending with a celebration that often comes with mixed emotions--Halloween. Associated customs include respect for the dead and church services, but also some fears, such as fear of the unknown, practices such as trick-or-treating at the homes of neighbors, or friends and family, and some emphasis on scary or other practices disapproved by God, considered unclean. (Deuteronomy 18). Shortly afterward in the U.S. typically is a time for electing officials to represent communities for good government. Could we re-think this celebration, to place more emphasis on practices or customs that we know God approves of, and can leave all with a clean conscience and good memories or something of overall benefit to the human family?

The timing of this is not the best, as a full month's notice may have permitted much forethought and exceptional productions, but something might still be possible as mentioned below...

As mentioned, this holiday or celebration could be improved in some ways, to better respect our Creator and His ways. Are not people or neighbors kind or friendly enough to give candy to the 'trick-or-treaters'? Why couldn't children wearing a mask of some sort, thank the neighbor for the candy, possibly pulling up the mask and express thanks before turning away, allowing the neighbor to see their face like some of the other children, really meeting or greeting the neighbor in this way? Neighbors have often come to the rescue of children or other neighbors during some emergency or life-threatening situation! Our family experienced this at times, and many others have as well. This one time of the year could be one way to joyfully reconnect with fellow members of the community that may not be far from where you or your friends or relatives live.

Also, might it not be possible for churches or faith-based groups to arrange places for dinner theater, preparing upbuilding and enjoyable entertainment respectful of God's standards, to accompany well-prepared meals, having even costumed skits on a theme known in advance, including faithful reenactments of historical or scriptural events blessed by God? Of course good stories and such from other sources could also be used, why not honoring God and what is truly good? And good lighting--spotlight(s), etc. can be used effectively. These could be very entertaining, involving people known in the community, and bringing good things to mind, even good lessons from history, that result in lifting up the spirit of the audience, promoting real peace, joy, and love. Could these not take place during the week or two before October 31, and become increasingly well-done for good performances on the evening of Halloween, or All Hallow's eve, a reference to things sacred, pure, or set apart to honor God? Could this really become a holiday, or "holy day" like others that God could readily bless, on which we could find great refreshment?

It may have become clear from the above, and reflecting on Christian standards, that some of what has been associated with this 'holiday' in the past is in no way blessed by God, or in harmony with His love for mankind. While people in general have not intended harm by such things, some have effects and consequences that are obviously negative and promote worries and fears in a way that really does not benefit humankind--often quite the reverse! To rephrase a consideration of Proverbs 3:33: Seeking God's help, may we not become like a crooked one, who may still ridicule the doing of what is good and right, trying to make it seem or appear weak, ineffective, or somehow not beneficial. At the same time, there are ways to have a lot of good, clean fun! God has given us so many things to do and eat, for instance, that can make life so enjoyable! Let's continue this notion of re-thinking this holiday, so that we can promote the good things pleasing to God, such as in our selections and choices around this time of year, and other times as well!

Please be understanding, as this year there are those who may not be aware of these notions or their importance to God at this time in our lives.

Let's give consideration to such, as a people seeking to honor our kind and worthy God in the heavens, Jehovoe!

TOPIC: ON THE FORMER U.S. COAL INITIATIVES - ALTERNATIVE

Recently, a plan was revealed to address the use of coal, known to be a heavy polluter, i.e. carbon dioxide when burned. It is still in considerable use worldwide, although efforts have been underway to curb it use, eventually replacing it with other fuel sources, one particular kind I favor. The plan mentioned involves it's current use as an energy source in the U.S. and seemed to indicate a somewhat abrupt halt to it's use in the power industry, but a recent government report cites this as accounting for 22% of U.S. electricity generation in 2021. Yes, my plans rightly include several green initiatives, but these may be implemented in a balanced way that in most if not all cases can protect jobs and not cause excessive disruptions either to the power industry or the economy. Is there good reason for replacing coal as an energy source? What if there was a source that could be processed for energy in a similar way as coal, but was much more efficient, and it's use was not simply of economic benefit, but 'green' in other ways, such as helping to maintain the proper ozone layer surrounding our planet? What if this source was on average ten (10X) times as efficient, but with the most populous or readily available kind, actually fifteen (15X) times as efficient as coal? In other words, the energy produced by coal to keep a 100-watt light bulb (LED included) burning, could by use of wood, particularly elm, could either keep either fifteen of those bulbs burning, or keep that one bulb burning fifteen times as long. These preferable elm trees can be safely cut down by those understanding how, and could be cut into pieces similar in size to coal if need be. Previously, an idea was proposed and evidently adopted, for stores of coal to be sold for personal use, the pollution effect actually increasing considerably, because it's current use for large-scale energy is much less polluting per capita. Coal production could gradually switch to responsible wood production, with trees being replanted, with about a 10-year turnover, preserving their beneficial environmental impact. Power plants using coal may be able, quite economically, to switch to wood burning, with it's greater efficiency, and with possibly 5% of the carbon pollution, and possibly much less of other polluting gases and particulate. If this is done in a reasonable but timely fashion, without any abrupt halt, jobs can be preserved, working families not burdened, and power production adequately maintained with little disruption in these areas.

TOPIC: LOW WATER LEVELS, RESPONSE/CONSERVATION

CONSERVE. In recent times we've been facing loss of water levels in many communities across the United States and elsewhere. A few solutions have been proposed previously, things that can make and have made a real difference in many of these areas. For one, excessive showers and shower times can be reduced, as most people do not need daily showers to truly remain clean--normal hygiene practices are all that's necessary to allow for showers every 2-3 days or so, but especially after heavy physical labor, exercise, etc. One of the real problems in this regard has been some persuasive wrongdoers, who despite mistreating others, believe (and want others to believe) that by showering or bathing every day, they remain a clean person, as if doing no wrong. God's love for all should move such persons to desire to truly obey Him, becoming and remaining pure in God's sight, choosing not to lie, cheat, steal, etc., but rather look to God for right desires. This does not require excessive, but rather normal, hygiene and body care. Another important area is where there is already dishwasher use. Water-saving modes on dishwashers, or installation of newer ones having such features can make a substantial difference, especially in restaurants, with well-designed models and appropriate detergents. This should be accompanied by practices such as dish scraping/wiping food into garbage and preliminary spot wiping as needed. For those washing in traditional ways, here is another water-saving method. Rather than requiring excess running of water to get a hot temperature, most detergents will work being applied to a sponge that is then soaked by distilled white vinegar, making possible effective dish cleaning in cold water! Be sure to turn water off when possible to save while washing, etc. prior to rinse. The vinegar is the key to allowing for cold water washing and less waste. Be careful not to wash out the vinegar too quickly with excessive sink water.

TOPIC: ON THE WAR IN GAZA...

WHAT IS OUR AIM? Have you seen enough evidence of God's existence, His aims and ways, promises and purposes? While we have all been stung by a senseless spree of violence, and government seeks to urgently protect citizens and residents from harm, and to safeguard our peace and that of fellow nations, we certainly wish to get to the heart of the issues and causes. Of course we do not wish to tolerate such hateful and harmful acts of violence! However, threatening civilian lives is also something we do not wish! Clearly something is wrong when a human being that should hate such things as God does, fails to reason and violates the rights of others in such a way. There are various ways to make clear these points. But now consider God's word and promises for the near future--not only a blessed Kingdom to bring real peace earthwide, by thinking in agreement with Christ, but also a time of God's further stepping in to restore to life past ancestors--relatives we may all miss dearly and those we've never met! Who wouldn't look forward to having their relatives, loved ones brought back in the "resurrection of the just and the unjust," in a condition and way that will be blessed by God, in the more peaceful world that God and Christ are making possible? Let us not underestimate the power that such promises can have on a person's heart, (innocent and even guilty ones) to change their thinking dramatically, esp. as they are moved to consider more of God's word, promises, blessings, instructions and guidance. Recall God's aim, desiring all possible to "attain to repentance," rather than to lose out on life. (2Peter 3:9) Also, the Scriptures indicate that right-hearted ones may very well be resurrected sooner than others in the coming general resurrection. Let's trust God's will, word, and ways, to help us reach that blessed time of greater peace!

Search for the podcast title below, and you may sort first to latest or preferably latest to first, and scroll down to a more recent posting of the first season's episodes).

This series, both Seasons 1 & 2 are found on Spotify, podcast Find Life And See Earview Podcast (FLASEP). This is actually my second podcast, containing a few different shows each with a variety of episodes, including a Commentary on Psalm 119 (5Psalm 13, or 5PS13). This podcast was a follow-up to my first podcast, simply Find Life And See podcast (FLASP), which I had abandoned after a device containing my password disappeared. I've come to understand that an unexpected situation arose of taking over that podcast, a stealing of episodes from my current podcast above, in violation of U.S./international copyright law. I, now acceptably still Joshua Michael JMA Camelanjemy (formerly Joshua M. Campbell-Elanemy, originally Mark A. Campbell of Winchester, VA), urge you to please use the Find Life And See Earview Podcast (FLASEP) as above for my own authored work with my own voice, Win-it Minute, Psalm 119 (5PS13), Golden Apples (or Weekly Golden Apples) articles and other Articles such as the Divine Gift of God's Word, in 2 parts or 4, actually 1A&1B, and 2A&2B episodes, etc.! (Many know I'm merciful as our Father is, but this identity confusion is based on outright lies, not blessed by God, and is threatening to the faith of others, trying to know the truth about my own work and identity!)

The current episodes for this week (of 10/02/23, or 23/A02) are Win-it Minute WM2, R04.701-705, a continuation of the Article entitled "Let God's Will Be Done, On Earth As It Is In Heaven".

(The dates are presented here reflecting a more compact format I prepared back in 2020 and updated earlier this year, the 'A' standing for the 10th month. The slash is good for writing or presentation, but not always great for a compact computer format. It can be stored without any separator, such as 23A02, indicating any day of a current century. The format 23.A02 may also have some value in computer/internet display or communication.)

As of 10/25/23 or 23/A25 I am shortening the abbreviation for my current podcast site from FLASEP to FLSEP (Find Life and See Earview Podcast). I hadn't realized that six-letter abbreviations are not considered as acronyms. Since state postal codes used to be three letters, I thought it was still an easy way to remember my abbreviation as Florida-September (FLASEP). But without the A in "and" (which isn't usually made part of an acronym anyway), the new FLSEP, can still be remembered the same, since State codes have been only two letters for quite some time now.

I earnestly hoped in Jehovoe, And so he inclined [his ear] to me and heard my cry for help.

2 He also proceeded to bring me up out of a roaring pit, Out of the mire of [the] sediment.

I earnestly hoped in Jehovoe, And he inclined his ear to me and heard my cry for help.

2 He brought me up out of a roaring pit, Out of the slimy mire.

And he set my feet upon a crag; He made my footing secure.

3 Then he put a new song in my mouth, Praise to our God.

Many will look on in awe And put their trust in Jehovoe.

4 Happy is the man who trusts in Jehovoe

And who does not look to the defiant or to those who are false.

5 How many things you have done, O Jehovoe my God,

Your wonderful works and your thoughts toward us.

None can compare to you; If I were to try to tell and speak of them,

They would be too numerous to recount!

6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, But you opened up my ears to hear.

You did not ask for burnt offerings and sin offerings.

7 Then I said: “Look, I have come. In the scroll it is written about me.

8 To do your will, O my God, is my delight, And your law is deep within me.

9 I proclaim the good news of righteousness in the great congregation.

Look! I do not restrain my lips, O Jehovoe, as you well know.

10 I do not cover over your righteousness in my heart. I declare your faithfulness and salvation.

I do not hide your loyal love and your truth in the great congregation.”

11 O Jehovoe, do not withhold your mercy from me.

May your loyal love and your truth constantly safeguard me.

_____(3) Proverbs Commentary

_____PC[1]

PROVERBS COMMENTARY

Proverbs 11:27-31

“27 The one who diligently seeks to do good seeks favor, But the one searching for bad—that is what will surely come upon him. 28 The one trusting in his riches will fall, But the upright will flourish like the foliage. 29 Anyone who brings trouble on his household will inherit the wind, And the fool will be a servant to the wisehearted one. 30 The fruitage of the upright one is a tree of life, And the one who wins souls is wise. 31 If, indeed, the upright one on earth is rewarded, How much more the corrupt one and the sinner!”

Prove 11:27 Divine favor may be upon the one who seeks to practice what is good. Of course, we need godly discernment, or 'difftell', to tell good from bad, especially in this world where often what is bad is made to appear good. Isaiah 5:20 says “20 Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good, Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” What is truly good is in harmony with the light of truth and is sweet to taste, as opposed to the dark and bitter reality of badness. God understands the difference perfectly, and warns us from the problems, troubles, pain and stain of pursuing what is bad. Look for the benefits of doing what is right and good before Jehovoe. May we thus maintain His divine favor, while those seeking bad may not escape the bad effects thereof.

"28 The one trusting in his riches will fall, But the upright will flourish like the foliage."

Prove 11:28 Clearly, upright ones are not trusting in their “riches” or wealth, material or spiritual, such as only in their own acquired experience in life, but they instead trust in Jehovoe and His reliable word. As Proverbs 3:5-7 encourages, they do not rely on their own understanding, as if a know-it-all, but trust Jehovoe with all their heart, and take His view into consideration in all they do. They thus avoid becoming “wise in [their] own eyes,” but instead remain humble and obedient to God. If they would trust in their own selves or material wealth, they would likely become prideful, leading to a “crash” or “fall.” (Prove 16:18).

"29 Anyone who brings his household to ruin will inherit the wind, And the fool will be a servant to the wisehearted one."

Prove 11:29 Why needlessly “inherit the wind," vainly violating God's word or law/lall, to the extent of bringing ruin upon one's household? Have you ever heard someone say that they would rather not know God's law/lall, because they may say, knowing makes them more responsible to live by it? Knowing God's word is a protection in life, helping us avoid trouble! What's wrong with becoming more responsible, such as an adult needs for a successful life and family? Being accountable and responsible for our actions is one of the vital lessons in life, that can help prevent accidents and needless harm to ourselves and others. That law/lall of God can make one spiritually ALIVE--what's wrong with LIVING by it? The key is our EFFORT to live by it, with thankful trust in the ransom provision of God's Son to cover the unintended mistakes! This brings God's approval and "blessing...that makes one rich...And he adds no pain with it." (Proverbs 10:22). May a husband and father strive diligently to practice true love for his family, and turn to God in prayer for needed assistance, rather than to the bottle, drugs, or some other crutch of addiction, referring to unbalanced use of unworthy substances. Nor should one turn to unlawful practices as stealing to support his family or bad habits, setting a foolish, poor example for his family and others. Rather, trusting in God, may family heads learn to become “wise hearted,” looking to God’s word for the advice and wisdom needed to care properly for loved ones.

"30 The fruitage of the upright one is a tree of life, And the one who wins souls is wise."

Prove 11:30 Part of becoming “wise hearted” is understanding the course of living rightly by God, appreciating and keeping God’s standards, commands, and guidance in life. As 1John 5:3 states: “3 For this is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments; and yet his commandments are not burdensome.” At Matthew 11:19 Jesus or Jehoshua' says “...wisdom is proved righteous by its works.” Living in such a way can benefit others profoundly, leading them on the course of eternal life, rescuing them from the darkness. Proverbs 11:9 agrees in saying "by knowledge the upright are rescued."

"31 If, indeed, the upright one on earth is rewarded, How much more the corrupt one and the sinner!”

Prove 11:31 How fine that God rewards the upright with eternal life and many blessings throughout! Corrupt ones, however, receive no such reward if they remain on that course. If God intervenes in their life, it would likely be revealing to them the fruitless consequences of badness--the "reward" of wrongdoing. Such a course leads only to unhappiness and loss of God’s favor and blessing. Again, Proverbs 10:22 says “22 It is the blessing of Jehovoe that makes one rich, And He adds no pain with it.” May such ones, then, realize God's merciful love and change course, repenting over past wrong, and accept His loving assistance, considering God's worthiness of our due respect, and the wisdom of His word to guide our steps properly, leading to the genuine happiness of adherence to His standards. May we thus choose and remain on the course leading to endless blessings, happiness, and peace for humanity! There may yet be fine blessings in store for those who've turned from their corrupt and sinful ways to be ever determined to uphold God's loving and trustworthy standards, still accepting their responsibility and God's discipline, still at times additional, for their former conduct!

Let's backtrack to include verses 10-11 to supply context...

"10 When wisdom enters your heart And knowledge becomes pleasant to your soul, 11 Thinking ability will keep watch over you, And discernment will safeguard you,...14 From those who rejoice in wrongdoing, Who find joy in the perverseness of evil, 15 Those whose paths are crooked And whose entire course is devious. 16 It will save you from the corrupt woman, From the smooth words of the immoral woman, 17 Who abandons the close companion of her youth And forgets the covenant of her God; 18 For her house sinks down into death, And her paths lead to those powerless in death. 19 None of those having relations with her will return, Nor will they regain the pathways of life."

Lest we misunderstand verse 19, let's supply some background. This was originally written for the nation of Israel, living under the Mosaic Law covenant, which condemned sexual immorality and especially the sin of adultery severely. The spiritual implications of a decadent immoral influence among God's people was so serious that it was capital punishment for both consenting sharers in adultery--death by stoning for the perpetrators, unless God in His mercy intervened. This is why it is written that they will not "regain the pathways of life." It is life under this system that was meant--the "unrighteous" could still in God's mercy come back in the future resurrection and willingly submit to God's law and direction, finding eternal life. (Acts 24:15). Yet, all should take warning, as we are living ever near a time of judgment by God, from which there may be few returns to life. How vital to learn to submit to God's direction now! As 1Corinthians 6:9-11 shows for those becoming Christians, that some had been sexually "immoral, idolaters, adulterers," submitting to homosexual acts, and so on. But then the inspired word of God says "And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean; you have been sanctified; you have been declared righteous in the name of the Lord Jehoshua (Jesus) Christ and with the spirit of our God." They thus changed their behavior to find agreement with God's will, and God forgave them, as most of them likely weren't rebelling against God will full knowledge of wrongdoing. We cannot continue to practice what we know is wrong and expect God's continued forgiveness--we can make the changes and find greater happiness in doing so! In harmony with God's love and will for humans, one vital principle of God's word declares: "Mercy triumphs over judgement." (James 2:13). And 2Peter 3:9 agrees, saying "Jehovoe...does not desire anyone to be eliminated but desires all to attain to repentance."

"10 When wisdom enters your heart And knowledge becomes pleasant to your soul, 11 Thinking ability will keep watch over you, And discernment (or, difftell) will safeguard you,"

Pro02:10-11 Wisdom is the successful application of knowledge, and thus knowledge should, with the gaining of understanding to see the big picture and all it's pieces, come "easily" and become pleasant to oneself. (Prove 14:6). Then, thinking ability and discernment will serve to protect one from many destructive traps. It is divine knowledge and wisdom that is a protection from serious wrongdoing. Included in this is "thinking ability" and "discernment"--the ability to discern between such things as right and wrong, good and bad, wise and unwise, more important matters and lesser ones, though still required by law. With prudent shrewdness we can see the consequences of our decisions, and come to hate what is bad in the healthy "fear of Jehovoe"--fearing to displease our loving Father, to hurt Him in any way.

"14 From those who rejoice in wrongdoing, Who find joy in the perverseness of evil,"

Pro02:14 Those rejoicing in wrongdoing are not acting in harmony with true love, which "does not rejoice over unrighteousness but rejoices with the truth." (1Cori 13:6). They are finding joy in lies, corruption and evil, their values becoming twisted as they are likely feeding their minds and hearts on foolish, corrupt or violent entertainment. Some comedies are providing laughing tracks, or sounds of laughter, over whatever is imagined should be funny, including wrongful speech and actions, at times harmfully twisting the values of the eventual audience. Wise ones are not misled into regularly feeding on such distorted ideas.

"15 Those whose paths are crooked And whose entire course is devious."

Pro02:15 Thinking ability and discernment may protect us from those rejoicing in wrongdoing who are following "crooked" paths--distorted from the path of integrity (rightness) leading to life--their deceptive course, riddled with spiritual snares and fallacies, troubled by hurtfulness and sorrow, leads only to death, or destruction.

"16 It will save you from the corrupt woman, From the smooth words of the immoral woman, 17 Who abandons the close companion of her youth And forgets the covenant of her God; 18 For her house sinks down into death, And her paths lead to those powerless in death. 19 None of those having relations with her will return, Nor will they regain the pathways of life."

Pro02:16-19 A wayward or immoral woman could entice one lacking in true wisdom, thinking ability, or discernment. Her "smooth words" could penetrate one's mind and heart without the ability to reason on the matter, and see the implications of such a course. We must realize the spiritually destructive effects of sexual immorality, as well as the numerous benefits of treasuring the covenant of marriage God instituted for mankind from the beginning of the human family on earth. In this covenant, two can love God and each other like no one else on the planet, loyally caring for one another through thick and thin, in good times and bad, and have children that can be cherished and raised in a loving, peaceful, stable environment with the corrective influence of both a father and a mother, cooperating to bring them up in the "admonition of Jehovoe." (Ephes 6:4). It is important to understand the marriage arrangement, even though God has permitted some humans to be of a heavenly sort, angelic, even as humans. Such ones are to continue faithful to God, seeking God's will, but have responsibilities and rights among each other within God's law/lall, even as regards matters related to family, etc. As regards the rest, it is God's will that ones come to find genuine satisfaction and happiness in the arrangement of marriage, with both persons learning to truly love Jehovoe and each other in the way God instructs in His word. Should young ones worry that they won't find a marriageable partner when the time nears to consider this gift more carefully? Does Jehovoe God not want you to be happy? Can He not hear your prayers accordingly? Isaiah 59:1 says: "Look! The hand of Jehovoe is not too short to save, Nor is his ear too dull to hear." (Compare Numbers 11:23). Why not look for a faithful partner, one him- or herself keeping integrity to God, rather than succumbing to immorality of various kinds (and by such immorality, putting at risk the eternal life of any sharing participant--true love???)? If you find such a person before it's time to marry, why not agree to each other to be true to God, faithful in conduct, as you plan to court one another, getting to know one another better, even with your parents' permission? May we come to treasure this "good gift" of marriage, forgiving one another, especially unintended mistakes, both seeking faithfulness, to God and each other, without any form of immorality, drawing closer together for as long as God blesses it to last, into God's new world and perhaps, beyond. (James 1:17). If serious sin is not committed, you may find great delight by loyally loving the one you're with--see what can grow between you!

Proverbs 2:20-22

This exhortation ensues the warnings against ignoring divine wisdom and pursuing a selfish course resulting in calamity. “20 So follow the way of good people And stay on the paths of the honest, 21 For only the upright will reside in the earth, And the blameless will remain in it. 22 As for the corrupt, they will be cut off from the earth, And the treacherous will be torn away from it.”

“20 So follow the way of good people And stay on the paths of the honest,"

Prove 2:20 Therefore all are encouraged to appreciate and “follow” the way of good people. How fine that God preserved such goodness among mankind even during the difficult “last days,” so that many may still see and recognize it being practiced. The honest and upright continue to have God's blessing despite the lingering presence of unseemly attitudes and practices mentioned at 2Timothy 3:1-5. Reasonably, however, there are places on the earth where such ones are “few and far between.” May right-hearted ones in those areas rely heavily upon Jehovoe' to continue setting a good example for their neighbors, in the hope of helping others be drawn to the truth of God’s word, as the way remains open for people to respond to the call of eternal life in peace.

"21 For only the upright will reside in the earth, And the blameless will remain in it."

Prove 2:21 Notice God’s inspired word through King Solomon speaks of the earth as man’s true home, where even the blameless “will remain.” Before Jehoshua/Jesus came there was no mention of man’s receiving heavenly life as a hope. That calling was to fulfill the need for a heavenly government by God, arranged by Him, having His direction, approval and blessing, to rule over mankind and the earth. For the majority, the hope is for God to finally be “...3 with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revel 21:3-4). Notice Isaiah 45:18: “18 For this is what Jehovoe' says, The Creator of the heavens, the true God, The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, Who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am Jehovoe', and there is no one else.” But God wants those dwelling upon the earth to be “upright” and “blameless,” persons of integrity to God and loyal love, thus making for a wonderful SPIRITUAL Paradise on earth, to match perfectly the literal Paradise of beauty that is in the making for man to enjoy earth-wide.

"22 As for the corrupt, they will be cut off from the earth, And the treacherous will be torn away from it.”

Prove 2:22 Notice, again, it is from the earth that evil ones will be “cut off” and “torn away” from, not being allowed to enjoy the earthly Paradise home of mankind that the upright ones will. The punishment for such ones in the Scriptures, at worst, is death, the “wages of sin” (Romans 6:23; John 3:16). Still, it is God’s will that as many as possible be saved from such a calamity. May they repent of wrongdoing, turn to God, hoping in His divine mercy and blessing as they ascribe to the 8 H’s:

"(1) HOPING in God's approval and blessing, (2) HUMBLING themselves (respectful) and becoming (3) HONEST, (4) HUNGERING for what’s right, Taking God’s words to (5) HEART, (6) HATING what is bad, (7) HURRY to turn around, and bringing the truth (8) HOME."

Isaiah 55:6,7 says: “ 6 Search for Jehovoe' while he may be found. Call to him while he is near. 7 Let the corrupt man leave his way And the evil man his thoughts; Let him return to Jehovoe', who will have mercy on him, To our God, for he will forgive in a large way.” And Acts 3:19 exhorts: "Repent, therefore, and turn around, so as to get your sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come from Jehovoe' himself."

FOUNDING

Proverbs 3:1-8:

"1 My son, do not forget my teaching, And may your heart observe my commandments, 2 Because they will add many days And years of life and peace to you. 3 Do not let loyal love and faithfulness leave you. Tie them around your neck; Write them on the tablet of your heart; 4 Then you will find favor and good insight In the eyes of God and man. 5 Trust in Jehovoe with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways take notice of him, And he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not become wise in your own eyes. Fear Jehovoe and turn away from bad. 8 It will be a healing to your body And refreshment for your bones."

"1 My son, do not forget my teaching, And may your heart observe my commandments, 2 Because they will add many days And years of life and peace to you."

(Pro03:1-2) Notice we're to observe God's commandments with our heart. What a good reminder that we can take information into our mind, but to truly benefit, we must ponder how we can truly use it to benefit others and ourselves to make it a part of us, to reach our heart. We should see the rewards, good consequences of observing God's commands, perhaps also the sadness and distress caused by one disobeying God, that we may hate what is bad. Here a general reward is mentioned for obeying God, doing so adds "many days and years of life and peace."

"3 Do not let loyal love and faithfulness leave you. Tie them around your neck; Write them on the tablet of your heart; 4 Then you will find favor and good insight In the eyes of God and man."

(Pro03:3-4) Next, loyal love and faithfulness are to affect everything we say, and are to be written on our hearts, affecting our very motives in all we do. Faithfulness inspires us to be persons of integrity, practicing God's integrity (right way), being true to Him under trial and test, recalling that "God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation He will make the way out in order for you to be able to endure it." (1Corinthians 10:13). Proverbs 20:6 says "Many men proclaim their loyal love, but who can find a faithful man?" Let's appreciate both: true loyal love and faithfulness, to God and others. One reward is you "will find favor and good empathy in the eyes of God and man."

"5 Trust in Jehovoe with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways take notice of him, And he will make your paths straight."

(Pro03:5-6) A favorite verse of many. Look for God's direction, through his word and prayer, not simply relying on our past experience or even our own understanding of things. We should be ready to adjust our thinking when we see good reason for doing so, especially when the truth from God's word corrects us. Jehovoe, by his word, can make our paths straight, helping us remain on the road of eternal life, without turning to the right or left. In 'all of our ways,' or in everything we do, we are to humbly seek God's direction, His way of doing things. How we benefit from God's wise guidance!

"7 Do not become wise in your own eyes. Fear Jehovoe and turn away from bad. 8 It will be a healing to your body And refreshment for your bones."

(Pro03:7-8) By humbling ourselves and seeking God's direction, fearing to displease or hurt Him in any way, we avoid pridefully relying on ourselves, and seeking our own glory, leading to selfishness or self-centeredness. "Turning away from bad" may include such things as avoiding forms of idolatry. For instance, we may have favorite actors or actresses, and enjoy watching an occasional show they appear in. Let's delight in the good ways they may act or speak, but realizing that God is the ultimate Source of such wisdom and conduct! Also, a true star that honors God does not go out of his or her way to seek glory for oneself. Seeking God's honor, representing Him, we should unselfishly seek true love, having concern for others and their welfare, and reap true happiness in life.

Proverbs 12

Proverbs 12:1-3

"1 The one who loves discipline loves knowledge, But the one who hates reproof is unreasoning. 2 The good person obtains Jehovoe’s approval, But He judges the man of crooked schemes. 3 No man is made secure by corruption (or, injustice), But the upright will never be uprooted."

(Pro12:1): Do you comprehend this? A child should 'love knowledge.' This, in turn, helps such a child to love something just as important--discipline, or correction. What does this mean, since most of the time we are at least a bit unhappy that it was deemed necessary at the time? (HEBre 12:11) We see that the Bible term "discipline" here refers to a loving correction that trains and teaches. A child loving knowledge can usually see that properly given discipline aids understanding and growth in knowledge. Recall that the word "discipline" comes from the same root as "disciple." Did Jehoshoia/Jesus go around punishing his disciples, or did he lovingly correct and train them? Yes, punishment may be acceptable at times if the motive is clearly love for the child, and the lesson(s) are made clear. But primarily a child or student should look forward to the loving guidance of a parent or teacher, appreciating the instruction given. One hating "reproof," or strong correction, while unpleasant, is not seeing the good reason(s) for it, and if continued, could lack discernment to see the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, true and false, etc. Such ones need to ask "why" and have their questions kindly answered, to learn to reason on things.

"2 The good person obtains Jehovoe’s approval, But He judges the man of crooked schemes. 3 No man is made secure by corruption (or, injustice), But the upright will never be uprooted."

(Pro12:2-3): Clearly God approves of the good, and condemns evil. May this motivate us to seek to please God in all we do, and help others to do so, with everlasting life in true peace and happiness at stake. Seeking this, Jehovoe will not abandon us! Psalm 9:10 says, for instance: "Those knowing your name will trust in you; You will never abandon those seeking you, O Jehovoe." Those 'knowing God's name' would come to know His true personality and ways, and place confidence in Him accordingly. Jesus or Jehoshua once said, "And the One who sent me is with me; he did not abandon me to myself, because I always do the things pleasing to him.” (JOHn 8:29). May we not imagine giving up on Jehovoe's loyal love! HE is the God who "IS love." While taking time and effort to cultivate, true loyal love is worth every effort, making life as it should be possible.

Proverbs 3:9-12:

"9 Honor Jehovoe with your valuable things, With the firstfruits of all your produce; 10 Then your storehouses will be completely filled, And your vats will overflow with new wine. 11 My son, do not reject the discipline of Jehovoe, And do not loathe his reproof, 12 For those whom Jehovoe loves he reproves, Just as a father does a son in whom he delights."

"9 Honor Jehovoe with your valuable things, With the firstfruits of all your produce; 10 Then your storehouses will be completely filled, And your vats will overflow with new wine."

(3:9-10) - We want to have a good name with God. He rewards those who put His name ahead of their own. At John 7:18 Jesus says: "Whoever speaks of his own originality is seeking his own glory; but whoever seeks the glory of the one who sent him, this one is true and there is no corruption in him." Who is worthy of more honor--we ourselves? some superstar? or Jehovoe the Creator? We may have talents and possessions, valuable things, material and spiritual. Let us seek to honor Jehovoe with such things, by giving Him our best effort to obey Him, loving Him and our neighbor. We will thus receive the blessing of Jehovoe on our efforts. Proverbs 10:22 says "It is the blessing of Jehovoe that makes one rich, and He adds no pain with it." It is fine to desire a good reputation. May we prosper, spiritually and even physically and materially, by putting God's name ahead of our own, having His blessing, while we trust God to safeguard our own name with Him.

"11 My son, do not reject the discipline of Jehovoe, And do not loathe his reproof, 12 For those whom Jehovoe loves he reproves, Just as a father does a son in whom he delights."

(3:11-12) - God's love is manifest in receiving His loving correction and guidance. Some often link discipline with punishment. Recall, however, the term "discipline" comes from the same root as "disciple". Did Jesus go around punishing his disciples? Or did he lovingly correct and train them? Yes, discipline primarily involves loving correction and readjustment. Punishment may be necessary, at times, but love should be the clear motive, and the lesson(s) should be made understandable if possible, as well as how to avoid such punishment in the future. Also, by studying God's word personally, we may discipline ourselves before ever needing it from others. Another aspect of training is another scriptural term, "admonition." This involves training with good guidance, apart from discipline. Lovingly guiding your children when they've done nothing wrong, can build such a bond of trust and affection between parents and their offspring. Ephesians 6:4 says "And fathers, do not be irritating your children, but go on bringing them up in the discipline and admonition of Jehovoe." This is primarily what's being encouraged at Deuteronomy 6:4-9, which says, by God's inspiration: "4 “Listen, O Israel: Jehovoe our God is one Jehovoe. 5 You must love Jehovoe your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength. 6 These words that I am commanding you today must be on your heart, 7 and you must inculcate them in your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as a reminder on your hand, and they must be like a headband on your forehead. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." Thus may we show our love for our children by the way we guide, teach, train, and correct them for their everlasting happiness and welfare!

Provebs 12:4-7:

"4 A capable wife is a crown to her husband, But the wife who acts shamefully is like rottenness in his bones. 5 The thoughts of the upright are just, But the guidance of the corrupt is deceptive. 6 The words of the corrupt are a deadly ambush, But the mouth of the upright saves them. 7 The corrupt are crushed and are no more, But the house of the upright will keep standing."

Prove 12:4 How grateful a husband can be for a "capable wife." Perhaps his genuine love for her may encourage her to thrive in their marriage, as she gives him deep respect for his loving headship. Reliance upon God may help a wife to thrive even under unfavorable circumstances, being loyal to her husband. Both should be loyal to God first, and show genuine love for each other by helping each other to first be loyal to God and His standards. Yes, with their marriage the two become "one flesh", but God is the primary strand in the "threefold cord" of marriage. (GENes 2:24; ECCle 4:12) Forgetting God, we would be putting other things above Him, as though greater, and be displeasing Him, the God who "is love" and who can bless the marriage union. In the case of Christ's spiritual bride of 144,000, how this one appreciates all she does to support genuine peace, holding integrity and remaining true to her bridegroom and God's reliable Word!

"5 The thoughts of the upright are just, But the guidance of the corrupt is deceptive."

Prove 12:5 As we seek God's righteous ways in our lives, we see how important our thinking is, to be right and just before God. We should desire, as David expressed in prayer at Psalm 26:2: "Examine me, O Jehovoe, and put me to the test; Refine my innermost thoughts and my heart." While we generally do not wish to invite problems in our life, when they do occur, with our faith or thankful trust in God and His word we may be able to handle them in wise and faithful ways, contributing to our maintaining His favor and experiencing true success in life, having the blessing of Jehovoe that makes one rich." (PROverbs 10:22). The corrupt, who may offer guidance, are often proving selfishly motivated, seeking their own interests, thus any so-called guidance from them is deceptive. Proverbs 21:4 says "Haughty eyes and an arrogant heart, the lamp that guides the corrupt, is sin." Those who match this description are likely not even aware how harmful their thinking is to others and themselves, or are not understanding or caring about God, and greatly need to humbly turn to Him that they might gain or regain an honest conscience that could allow them to become trustworthy in time with Jehovoe's mercy and assistance. Psalm 86:5 says this: "For you, O Jehovoe, are good and ready to forgive; You abound in loyal love for all those who call on you."

"6 The words of the corrupt are a deadly ambush, But the mouth of the upright saves them."

Prove 12:6 Sometimes the words of the corrupt may be persuasive, but "are a deadly ambush", or "lie in wait for blood" (AMP). Paying attention to them can kill us spiritually. However, listening to upright ones, and God's word, can be life-saving. However, this verse says it is their "mouth" that saves the upright. Thus, as we give attention to matters of the spirit, growing in appreciation for God and His wise word, our speech becomes more in line with God's will. We can develop qualities, such as self-control, mildness or gentleness, and love. Such traits will greatly affect our speech toward others. Thus, if someone speaks angry words, an upright one can respond with a controlled, mild answer, that "turns away rage." (PROve 15:1). This could also, with God's protection and blessing, safeguard the peace between them, promoting life.

"7 The corrupt are crushed and are no more, But the house of the upright will keep standing."

Prove 12:7 The corrupt must not be allowed to carry on their wrongdoing indefinitely, hopefully many or all will repent. But in God's love their so-called end is not necessarily literal death, but may be a crushing in spirit as they come to realize the depth of pain they may have been causing others, even those they love--however, with repentance, their corrupt aim should be what ends. Isaiah 57:15 says this of our God: "For this is what the High and Lofty One says, Who lives forever and whose name is holy: “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." Thus, it is God's will that ones leave their corruption, transforming as a caterpillar to a butterfly, into one finally honoring God, changing so much that their past life and corruption is "no more." The house of the upright will keep standing. Let's aim not to compromise, but hold to what is right before God, with His help and support, truly pleasing Him. Thus we may have His blessing on our life and family, our house or home.

Proverbs 12:8-12:

"8 A man is praised for the discretion of his mouth, But one with a twisted heart will be treated with contempt. 9 Better to be lightly esteemed and have a servant Than to glorify oneself and have no food. 10 The upright one takes care of his domestic animals, But even the mercy of the corrupt is cruel. 11 The one who cultivates his land will be satisfied with food, But the one pursuing unworthy things is lacking good sense. 12 The corrupt man envies what other evil men have caught, But the root of the upright bears fruit."

Pro12:8 Discretion involves using good judgment in our speech or conduct, reasoning on matters to show foresight and speak or act accordingly. One using such discretion will typically be viewed favorably by others. This is contrasted with one having a twisted, or perverted, corrupt heart, which will result in having disfavor in the eyes of others.

"9 Better to be lightly esteemed and have a servant Than to glorify oneself and have no food."

Pro12:9 This reveals the vanity of seeking one's own glory, which will not result in God's blessing, possibly not even His assisting hand of provision for necessities as food. Jehoshua (Jo-shua) [Jesus' more accurate given name, and original designation in English] was well aware of such vanity, as this one set an example in refusing to seek his own glory. We should keep in mind, here, that this one taught, by word and example, that God was the One to worship. Jesus is God's spokesman, and now represents Him, serving AzGod. Some are still causing him distress, as he wants his Father Jehovoe to primarily receive such praise, or glory. For instance, once he healed a man acting violently, who was evidently possessed by thousands of demons at one time. The man wanted to tell others about his newfound freedom. Who did Jehoshua want him to praise for this saving act? He is told: “Go home to your relatives, and report to them all the things Jehovoe has done for you and the mercy he has shown you.” (Mark 5:19).

"10 The upright one takes care of his domestic animals, But even the mercy of the corrupt is cruel."

Pro12:10 Evidently crooked, or corrupt ones may mistreat their own domestic animals, or show cruelty to people even when claiming to be merciful. Since verse 8 shows that one with perverted conduct will be viewed unfavorably by many, he needs to turn around from such to lastingly receive blessings from God and right-hearted men.

"11 The one who cultivates his land will be satisfied with food, But the one pursuing unworthy things is lacking good sense."

Pro12:11 A person or adult tending toward foolish behavior (less appropriate than for children) does not have his priorities in order, and often gives almost exclusive attention to things, even knowledge, that contributes little to spirituality, and a godly, successful life. One acting with godly wisdom, however, while properly enjoying the life God has given us, will also learn and do things that will enable him to provide for himself and his family, or family-to-be, both in matters of the spirit as well as materially. Ecclesiastes 7:12 says, for instance: "For wisdom is a protection just as money is a protection, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves the life of its owner."

"12 The corrupt man envies what other evil men have caught, But the root of the upright bears fruit."

Pro12:12 Envy and Jealousy have caused great distress to humanity. It is the Tenth commandment that says: “You must not desire your fellow man’s house. You must not desire your fellow man’s wife nor his slave man nor his slave girl nor his bull nor his donkey nor anything that belongs to your fellow man.” (Exodu 20:17). Notice this commandment involves the very desires of our heart, not the act of robbery which is outlawed in the eighth commandment. God can read our thoughts and heart, so may we learn to please Him, being happy at the good things others acquire, and trust God for His help to find the things we really want or need, in line with His will.

Proverbs 3:13-18:

"13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom And the man who acquires discernment; 14 To gain it is better than gaining silver, And having it as profit is better than having gold. 15 It is more precious than corals; Nothing you desire can compare to it. 16 Long life is in its right hand; Riches and glory are in its left hand. 17 Its ways are pleasant, And all its paths are peaceful. 18 It is a tree of life to those who take hold of it, And those who keep firm hold of it will be called happy."

"13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom And the man who acquires discernment;"

Prove 3:13 Wisdom is the ability to successfully apply divine knowledge for the true or lasting benefit of others and oneself. Discernment sees the difference between things, such as between a minor irritation that moves one to find a solution to the pressing problem or see how to cope with it, and full-blown anger that is a violation of Christian self-control and gentle Christian mildness, that interferes with clear thinking and causes hurt feelings, and that may even provoke the serious sin of reviling another. True Christians are to manifest self-control and refuse to allow anger to escalate to an extreme level. They learn to quickly channel the energy of simply agitation or irritation into efforts to think through and fix the problem or see how to cope with it, as mentioned.

"14 To gain it is better than gaining silver, And having it as profit is better than having gold. 15 It is more precious than corals; Nothing you desire can compare to it. 16 Long life is in its right hand; Riches and glory are in its left hand."

Prove 3:14-16 True wisdom leads its owner to everlasting life in true peace and happiness, something that money cannot buy. Have you yet come to experience the genuine joy associated with having true wisdom? It brings us close to God and to other devoted ones of integrity, in a bond of trust, unity, and brotherly affection. This brings such spiritual security, happiness and delightful experiences that cannot be compared to any other desirable thing. It increases the beauty and joy associated with other wholesome desires, giving meaning to life, making enjoyment more delightful. And such delights may continue into an endless future, bringing much spiritual wealth, honor, and at least eventually, material prosperity.

"17 Its ways are pleasant, And all its paths are peaceful. 18 It is a tree of life to those who take hold of it, And those who keep firm hold of it will be called happy"

Prove 3:17-18 True wisdom is the way to enjoy life in peace as it was meant to be enjoyed, knowing how to get along with others peacefully. Can you imagine a life in which every neighbor could become a true friend and not only loves peace, but truly deals peaceably with one another? All the ways of true wisdom thus seek lasting peace. Such peace and pleasantness may be fully experienced when as many as possible will have learned to live in such a way, in harmony with God's loving will and purpose! Many who once fought as enemies have learned true wisdom largely through Christian teachings and examples, and have become true friends! As 2Peter 3:9 says: "Jehovoe is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be eliminated but desires all to attain to repentance." Even now, gaining true wisdom can result in inner peace and contentment, helping us deal peaceably often even with unpeaceable warmongers. Such wisdom ultimately results in true happiness and God's GIFT of eternal life. Romans 6:23 says: "For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord."

"13 The practicer of evil is ensnared by his own sinful speech, But the honest one escapes from distress. 14 From the fruitage of his speech a man is satisfied with good, And the work of his hands will reward him. 15 The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, But the wise one accepts advice. 16 A fool immediately shows his annoyance, But the prudent man overlooks an insult. 17 The one who testifies faithfully will tell the truth, But a false witness speaks deceit. 18 Thoughtless speech is like the stabs of a sword, But the tongue of the wise is a healing"

Prove 12:13 The practicer of evil has allowed his heart to be corrupted, or perverted. Thus his speech is also corrupt, or sinful, as he places priority on badness, disregarding God's right and happifying standards. Such a person is not truly happy, regardless of how he or she may appear on the outside. And the speech of such a person gets him in trouble in various ways, as ridicule, reviling, and negative talk are likely commonplace. The honest and upright one, on the other hand, often "escapes distress" by speech that is wholesome, upbuilding, and, when appropriate, lovingly corrective of mistakes.

"14 From the fruitage of his speech a man is satisfied with good, And the work of his hands will reward him."

Prove 12:14 Continuing with the speech of an honest or upright one, his speech rewards him with good things, for instance commendation approved by God for his efforts to build up others, and 'rescue them with knowledge.' (Prove 11:9). Also "the work of his hands" rewards him, perhaps also with commendation. It is such efforts for which young ones should be commended, however not for simply having knowledge of something--rather, for using that knowledge skillfully to assist others in some kind or beneficial way. One study showed that young ones commended for their display of knowledge alone logically were not as motivated to work for others, but became lazy and potentially prideful. Those commended for their efforts instead showed more diligence in their activity. May we be generous with kind commendation to encourage our youth in the practice of good toward others.

"15 The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, But the wise one accepts advice."

Prove 12:15 The foolish one tends to be arrogant or high-minded of himself, and believing more in his own ideas than even God's. He is often moved by such arrogance to act without foresighted prudence, not seeing ahead at the troubles caused by making mistakes. Not humbly willing to acknowledge his own error, he may continue on a path leading to trouble, or turmoil. To help, we should all seek wisdom rather than foolishness, be or become truly honest, and admit we could make mistakes, but learning from them. It is far better, however, to avoid mistakes and their consequences. Still, Psalm 130:3 says about Jehovoe: "If errors were what you watch, O Joe, Then who, O Jehovoe, could stand?" The wise one is respectfully humble, eager to listen to others, and willing to accept advice. This helps him to 'ponder each step,' being more careful what he believes and how he accordingly proceeds to act in life. (Prove 14:15).

"16 A fool immediately shows his annoyance, But the prudent man overlooks an insult."

Prove 12:16 Further underscoring the lack of prudence in a foolish one, he quickly reveals his annoyance, lacking self-control, not really listening and considering other opinions, and without giving thought to how it may impact others, not being sensitive to their feelings. The foresighted prudent one, however, "overlooks an insult," with empathetic insight to readily forgive others for occasional slights. God sets the example as one who is "good and ready to forgive." (Psalm 86:5). Such mercy allows a conversation to carry on toward its intended purpose, rather than needlessly being interrupted. How fine when a conversation permits a considerate exchange of ideas, when ones are able to restate in their own words an idea that was just heard from another, and be free to state an honest but respectful response to it, continuing where appropriate.

"17 The one who testifies faithfully will tell the truth, But a false witness speaks deceit. 18 Thoughtless speech is like the stabs of a sword, But the tongue of the wise is a healing"

Prove 12:17-18 One "testifying faithfully" may be under pressure to compromise, to accept a bribe, but refuses to do so. A false witness, however, has not integrity, and gives in to such pressure, whether for money, out of fear, or for some other seeming benefit. We should trust Jehovoe God as our refuge and shelter, to be honest, revealing what is appropriate, in matters of law, with integrity to Him, upholding true justice. Jehovoe sets the example for us to imitate, as "a God of faithfulness who is never unjust; Righteous and upright is he." (Deute 32:4). May those who've not yet learned to act with such integrity 'turn to doing good,' and receive an exaltation by God for their repentant and renewed spirit.

Proverbs 12:19-23:

"19 Truthful lips will endure forever, But a lying tongue will last for only a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot mischief, But those who promote peace have joy. 21 No harm will befall the upright one, But the crooked will have their fill of calamity. 22 Lying lips are detestable to Jehovoe, But those acting faithfully bring pleasure to him. 23 A prudent man conceals what he knows, But the heart of the fool blurts out his foolishness."

Prove 12:19 God just doesn't lie, and doesn't want us to either. Of course, in harmony with God's word, there is "a time to be silent and a time to speak," meaning we don't have to tell everybody everything. (Eccle 3:7). Not everyone has a right to hear the truth, or all the facts, especially if they will do harm with the knowledge. We may thus keep silent or change the subject in such a situation, as Jesus/Jehosha did so as to carry out the will of God when with Pilate (John 19:9-11). Still, Jehovoe hates a lie, Proverbs 6:16-19 detailing 7 things Jehovoe hates, among them a "lying tongue" and a "false witness who lies with every breath." Even a lifetime of such lying, 70-100 years or so, is "only a moment" when compared to the millions upon millions of years Jehovoe wants humanity to enjoy in truthful living forever. So let us put our trust in God that we may be honest and open with those deserving of the truth, including God himself in our honest prayers.

"20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot mischief, But those who promote peace have joy."

Prove 12:20 Those 'plotting mischief' are not promoting true peace, based on sincerity, seeking the welfare of others rather than their harm. Such mischievous ones carry deceit in their hearts, meaning they likely haven't pondered the benefits of living by God's right standards, so as to affect their real conduct. They may know what's right, but they are not moved to practice it, allowing selfish desires to lead them astray. Those promoting peace, however, have joy. They are learning the way of true happiness by learning to live peacefully and in accord with God's righteousness. As James 3:18 explains, "The fruit of righteousness is sown in peaceful conditions for those who are making peace."

"21 No harm will befall the upright one, But the crooked will have their fill of calamity."

Prove 12:21 No lasting harm will come to the upright, even if some good people do suffer problems in the time we're now living. Upright ones are not guaranteed a problem-free life in the midst of unwholesome influences. Psalm 34:19 says "Many are the hardships of the upright one, but Jehovoe rescues him from them all." Corrupt or crooked ones, however, typically have many more problems, lacking God's blessing and the benefits of living by right standards. There are great spiritual and physical benefits from living the way of genuine truth, peace, and love--God's way. This is why God warns us against wrongdoing in the first place, because He loves us, wants to be happy and avoid the troubles, grief, pain and stain of sin. Thus, those ignoring God's standards "will have their fill of calamity," which could end up in death without heartfelt repentance and turning around (Acts 3:19).

"22 Lying lips are detestable to Jehovoe, But those acting faithfully bring pleasure to him."

Prove 12:22 In contrast to lying, persons acting faithfully are true, honest, sincere. They are faithful to God by adhering to His ways, and faithful to others by helping them do the same, to remain on the path of eternal life. Such ones are consistent in obeying God, just as the moon is called a "faithful witness in the skies," consistently maintaining it's place and function in God's purpose (Psalm 89:37).

"23 A prudent man conceals what he knows, But the heart of the fool blurts out his foolishness."

Prove 12:23 While we like to share good things with others, we need to recognize the difference between public and private matters, as well as looking ahead at the outcome of revealing things, whether the outcome is ultimately good or bad, with or without God's blessing. A foolish one may be quick to say things that would appear to benefit them in some way, but it may not be entirely true or for the real benefit of others in the long run. Seeing the unblessed outcome of wrong thinking, speech, and actions helps us to cultivate godly fear, which 'means the hating of bad."

Proverbs 3:19-26:

"19 Jehovoe founded the earth in wisdom. He solidly established the heavens in discernment. 20 By his knowledge the watery deeps were split apart And the cloudy skies dripped with dew. 21 My son, do not lose sight of them. Safeguard practical wisdom and thinking ability; 22 They will give you life And be an adornment for your neck; 23 Then you will walk on your way in safety, And your foot will never stumble. 24 When you lie down, you will have no fear; You will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant. 25 You will not fear any sudden terror Nor the storm that is coming on the crooked. 26 For Jehovoe will prove to be your source of confidence; He will keep your foot from being caught."

"19 Jehovoe founded the earth in wisdom. He solidly established the heavens in discernment. 20 By his knowledge the watery deeps were split apart And the cloudy skies dripped with dew."

Prove 3:19-20 Just ponder the wisdom with which Jehovoe God made not only this earth and all that is within and on it, but also our sun, the other stars in this galaxy and countless others in this universe, and any other planets, which are being found surrounding other stars in habitable zones, or distance ranges allowing for continued life. Can we not appreciate God's willingness to share divine wisdom with mere humans? (James 1:5-6). Not only does God know how to create and sustain life among humans, but of much more importance to Him is knowing how to help all to have a close relationship with Him and with other humans--to help us find joy knowing God and in living peaceably with others. God's ability to discern truth from false, good from bad, more important matters from lesser ones, among other things, assisted Him in His creative work and understanding in the way He made us, making it possible for us to delight in His good gifts in life (James 1:16-17).

"21 My son, do not lose sight of them. Safeguard practical wisdom and thinking ability;"

Prove 3:21 We are to safeguard these qualities, letting no one or thing interfere with our developing and maintaining full use of them. Practical wisdom is skillful use of knowledge, putting it to good use, or using it to accomplish good things, truly benefitting others and oneself, hating all badness in the genuine fear of God. Ability to think through a matter, to see various ways to approach a situation, and to come up with the most helpful way to handle it, also is a quality worthy of protection. May we thus treasure divine wisdom and thinking ability, in modest imitation of our God and Creator, with humble appreciation for, and submission to, Him, in awe fearing to displease or hurt Him in any way.

"22 They will give you life And be an adornment for your neck;"

Prove 3:22 We will thus be on the road to eternal life, and the words coming through our throat can be lovely before others, rooted in love and appreciation for our God, who is the Source of, and sets the example in, true love, "the flame of Jah." (Canti 8:6).

"23 Then you will walk on your way in safety, And your foot will never stumble."

Prove 3:23 God's wisdom as mentioned previously, includes also foresighted shrewdness, or prudence, enabling us to look ahead at the consequences of our speech and actions, that we may hate what is bad, and it's resulting trouble, pain, and sorrow, and continue loving what is good, with its rewards and blessing from God. By considering God's wisdom before we act, we can thereby see to avoid many hardships and troubles, walking in safety, loving God's protective law, now through Christ. For such ones, God's word says, "Nothing can make them stumble." (Psalm 119:165).

"24 When you lie down, you will have no fear; You will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant. 25 You will not fear any sudden terror Nor the storm that is coming on the crooked. 26 For Jehovoe will prove to be your source of confidence; He will keep your foot from being caught."

Prove 3:24-26 Letting Jehovoe be our source of confidence, rather than merely human power, oneself or our own understanding of things, maintaining our love for, and reliance on, God, will bring His blessing and approval, and true spiritual security, practically eliminating fear as our love for God and others grows. "There is no fear in love, but perfect (complete) love casts fear out, because fear restrains us. Indeed, the one who is fearful has not been made perfect in love." (1John 4:18). Such complete love, for example, deals with others impartially, without prejudice, upholding what is right toward another regardless of their economic standing, social status, race, color, etc.

Proverbs 12:24-28:

“24 The hand of the diligent ones will rule, But idle hands will be put to forced labor. 25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, But a good word cheers it up. 26 The upright one searches out his pastures, But the course of the crooked leads them astray. 27 The lazy do not chase after the prey, But diligence is a man’s precious treasure. 28 The path of rightdoing (integrity) leads to life; Along its pathway there is no death.”

Prove 12:24 Would you like to become wisely skillful in your work? Proverbs 22:29 says “29 Have you seen a man skillful at his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before common men.” One of the first of the proverbs, in chapter 10, verse 4, says “ 4 Idle hands will cause poverty, But diligent hands bring riches.” You may recall that laziness is often brought on by being praised excessively for simply having knowledge of things, contributing to pride, rather than for the work or effort to use that knowledge wisely and skillfully to benefit others or perhaps yourself. The Scriptural encouragement is found at Proverbs 6:6-11, beginning with the words: “6 Go to the ant, you lazy one; Observe its ways and become wise.” The ants work individually without even needing a “commander.” They are what are often called “self-starters.” Our motivation to work should largely come from God, as we seek to represent Him well before others. If we worship and represent the God who “created all things”, can we not become capable as a diligent worker? Colossians 3:23 instructs: “23 Whatever you are doing, work at it whole-souled as for Jehovoe, and not for men.” When learning a new skill, simply take it one step at a time, trying to see the purpose behind each step in the procedure. You, too, can become skillful and a diligent worker, to God’s honor!

"25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, But a good word cheers it up."

Prove 12:25 We should recognize the role anxiety can play in how one feels, contributing to depression, or feelings of worthlessness. Clearly, we want to avoid such feelings whenever possible, not touching them with a 10-foot pole, so to speak. Some opposing God may have simply been lacking faith in the hope of day-after-day endless life, but we should be determined always to seek God's promised blessings. Hope is like “an anchor for the soul [or, “life”]” and is considered the “helmet of salvation,” protecting the mind, or our mental faculties. Perhaps Philippians gives us the finest counsel, revealing the powerful effect prayer can have on a person. We read, in Phili. 4:6,7 “6 Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jehoshua (Jesus).” The God of hope, Jehovoe, is eager to come to our aid if we look to Him for guidance and direction in life! (Psalm 25:5). A “good word” cheers up a man’s heart. God’s word is full of fine counsel and encouragement that helps us maintain a positive, joyful outlook. Proverbs 15:15 says this: “15 All the days of the afflicted one are bad, But the one with a cheerful heart has a continual feast.” This powerfully shows the pointlessness of having a negative attitude on things, seeing only the bad, as if it’s unavoidable. A cheerful heart is one with a positive, hopeful outlook, and is said to have a “continual feast”—appreciating many fine gifts that each day may bring. May we, to the extent possible, choose a positive outlook, hoping in our great God, Jehovoe, all day long.

"26 The upright one searches out his pastures, But the course of the crooked leads them astray."

Prove 12:26 Pastures are a feeding ground for sheep, for instance. So we might conclude that an upright one searches for good instruction to feed others, especially those under his watch care. Thus another translation says “The godly give good advice to their friends; the crooked lead them astray.” Especially should family heads be on the lookout for what will encourage family members in their various challenges or steps of progress spiritually or otherwise. A weekly time for family discussion, besides daily interaction such as a family meal, works well for many to address issues that have come up during the week or that may arise in the near future, or that may prove to be of assistance in a group setting. Reserve more private counsel where appropriate. However best for your family, let family heads aim that none of those in their care are neglected physically or spiritually. Learn to rely upon Jehovoe to provide for all such ones. Psalm 37:5 says "Commit your way to Jehovoe; Rely on him, and he will act in your behalf."

"27 The lazy do not chase after the prey, But diligence is a man’s precious treasure."

Prove 12:27 Again, diligence leads to success, the rewards of skillful work. This may help substantially in being able to provide for our family, one of the responsibilities or duties of a family head, usually the husband and father, sometimes a single mom. 1Timothy 5:8 shows the importance of the matter, to avoid intentional neglect and look to God, in saying: “8 Certainly if anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith.” Now situations vary, including the economic environment where a family may reside. God is ultimately the one to judge such matters, but certainly knows how to help those rightly looking to Him to provide as needed. While enjoying occasional rest and refreshment, may we be moved to avoid laziness and care well for our loved ones, also caring about others--such as friends and neighbors. This may be both spiritually and physically.

"28 The path of rightdoing (integrity) leads to life; Along its pathway there is no death.”

Prove 12:28 This must refer to spiritual or lasting death, as even faithful early Christians are spoken of as being "asleep in death." (1Cori 15:6). No lasting death will befall one on the path of rightdoing. You may recall that such integrity is the framework for a happy and successful life, as has been possible, now even more so everlastingly in God’s new world. True rightdoing is built on faithful trust in God and His Son, and the ransom sacrifice for forgiveness of sins, with a determination to happily live in harmony with God’s standards. This is with recognition that God knows what’s best for us, what way of living will bring us the greatest happiness and satisfaction. He knows how humans can get along with one another in genuine peace and harmony. He alone can give us the best life possible into an eternity, including a loyal marriage partner to share life with. May we delight in God’s wonderful purpose for mankind, as we lovingly serve “the happy God !” (1Timo 1:11).

Proverbs 3:27-30:

"27 Do not withhold good from those to whom you should give it If it is within your power to help. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go away; come back later! I will give it to you tomorrow, ”If you can give it now. 29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor When he lives in a sense of security with you. 30 Do not quarrel with a man for no reason If he has done nothing bad to you."

Prove 3:27-28 Goodness is part of the "fruitage of the spirit" mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23 which we can ask God for in prayer, in accord with Luke 11:13, Christ saying if one knows "how to give good gifts to [his] children, how much more so will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those asking Him!" Therefore, practicing "goodness" would involve what's described in this verse 27. If we see someone in need that we discern or judge we should assist, then by all means render aid! God's word itself helps us to be "fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." (2Timo 3:17). And Galatians 6:10 encourages us, "as long as we have the opportunity, let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith." Thus while we work good toward our literal family, friends, and others, we also place some emphasis on our Christian "family," to encourage or assist all related to us toward faith, peace, rightdoing, and love! Husbands and fathers are mandated in Scripture to provide for the needs of their families, and by all means this would include caring for their spiritual needs, loving them, offering them loving guidance as needed to grow in true wisdom and their relationships with God and others. (1Timo 5:8). At the same time, we should also appreciate those heeding Christian teachings in a brotherhood that God and Christ are making, as Jehoshua described at Luke 8:21, saying "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."

"Do not plot harm against your neighbor When he lives in a sense of security with you."

Prove 3:29 True faith is going to be the foundation of God's new world--many people becoming true Christian neighbors of each other, though some may at times may need corrective discipline, able to trust God and, by and large, one another! Imagine traveling the world, finding genuine friends everywhere you go! Some would have us keep the world as it is, full of suspicion, greed, selfishness and the like. How obscene to ignore God's wonderful purpose for mankind, God having the power to fix all of these problems through His son! This verse contains an example of one really trusting another, living "in a sense of security with you." How could we violate that trust by plotting harm against him? We should be careful not to take advantage of one another's trust, always seeking the genuine benefit of each other. Those seeking to advance business interests can do so with proper motive, without coming across as merely seeking selfish gain, refusing to let warlike contention drive them. Look to do well with God's blessing, which "makes rich," meeting the genuine needs of people, while not putting undue pressure upon them.

"Do not quarrel with a man for no reason If he has done nothing bad to you."

Prove 3:30 Along the same lines, we should be careful to maintain a loving, appreciative spirit toward others, especially if they have done no wrong to us! The Scriptures warn us, at Ecclesiastes 7:9, "Do not be quick to take offense, for the taking of offense lodges in the bosom of fools." If we have a tendency to be easily offended by what others say, we may be quick to quarrel with them. Let's be careful: Proverbs 1:7 says "Only fools despise wisdom and discipline." Perhaps discipline has not always been administered compassionately, in the way that Christ demonstrated toward his own "disciples", the word "discipline" coming from the same root word, involving correction out of love. Thus most correction can be given without causing needless embarrassment. Yet we should still try to appreciate lessons of value or needing to be learned from any discipline we may receive, and seek to grow in true wisdom. Try to appreciate correction offered by others to the extent possible, without much arguing with them. Sometimes, we really need it! Also, is there a dispute? Remember to put yourself in their shoes--try to see things from their viewpoint. The Golden Rule often assists: 'Treat others as you would like them to treat you.' A friendly or sincerely kind response will often help temper the spirit of an unpleasant conversation! (Matthew 7:12)

Proverbs 3:31-35

“31 Do not envy the violent man Nor choose any of his ways, 32 For Jehovoe detests a devious person, But His close friendship is with the upright. 33 The curse of Jehovoe is on the house of the crooked one, But he blesses the home of the upright. 34 For he mocks those who ridicule, But he shows favor to the meek. 35 The wise will inherit honor, But the mischievous ones glorify dishonor.”

“31 Do not envy the violent man Nor choose any of his ways, 32 For Jehovoe detests a devious person, But His close friendship is with the upright."

Prove 3:31-32 We are not to envy, or desire what the violent man has, materially or spiritually, possessions or talents. Verse 32 shows this “violent” man is also devious, so we’re not simply talking about athletes who happen to be able to take a lot of pain in their sport. The “violent man” mentioned here deviates from a right course and loves his forceful, destructive ways, usually taking no true delight in gentle mildness, a manner of life for true Christians. We are not to seek to emulate such a man, or choose any of his ways or practices. Normally Jehovoe hates WHAT is bad, but in this case God’s word says Jehovoe “hates anyone who loves violence”—How serious! (Psalm 11:5). Caution is in order regarding the realism of most modern movies, music and video games when it comes to promoting violence--what does the work in question teach about violence--that it should only be used for right by those with authority to do so when necessary, or that it may be used wantonly for selfish purposes? Youths are especially impressionable, and at risk for adopting violent behaviors by involving themselves with such choices of so-called entertainment. Certainly there are many finer options that can be chosen! If possible, don’t limit yourself to a few games available at a local store, unless they carry several good choices. Try to find sources that carry many enjoyable, God-approved options in all forms of entertainment, recreation, and education.

"33 The curse of Jehovoe is on the house of the crooked one, But he blesses the home of the upright. 34 For he mocks those who ridicule, But he shows favor to the meek."

Prove 3:33-34 Which would we rather experience—the curse of Jehovoe, or His blessing? How happy we may be when acting wisely in harmony with godly truth and right ways, having Jehovoe’s favor upon us, humbly seeking His powerful assistance in doing good. The crooked often ridicule the doing of what is good and right, trying to make it seem or appear weak, ineffective, or somehow not beneficial. How unfitting! At Isaiah 5:20 God responds: “20 Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good, Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” May we rather treasure the truth, and help all to appreciate the good, lovely, and marvelous ways of Jehovoe! If crooked ones refuse to repent of their errors, despite Jehovoe’s loving appeals, their harmful ways will come back on them. Isaiah 3:11 says: “11 Woe to the crooked one! Disaster will befall him, For what his hands have done will be done to him!” May such warnings move one to turn around from bad ways and practices, in God’s mercy, and experience true happiness with God’s blessing.

"35 The wise will inherit honor, But the mischievous ones glorify dishonor.”

Prove 3:35 As a result of pursuing God’s ways, seeking true wisdom and aiming to always represent Him well, thus honoring Jehovoe by the way we speak and live, we will experience honor from Him that will continue into eternity. Ironically, the mischievous ones, while often seeking to glorify, and give or demand honor for, themselves, actually glorify dishonor, as their corrupt ways and practices are not worthy of such honor or esteem, and thus could bring them shame or disgrace. Such ones need to acquire an understanding heart, to see the big picture as to reasons for practicing right and hating what’s bad, seeing the ill consequences of badness—the troubles, turmoil, grief, pain, sadness and more caused by sin. Then perhaps such ones may begin to respond to or take to heart the loving discipline that God may provide through parents and others.

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

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.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!

Update, format, etc. Update, v.91. (d.623Psm, 706Sun 8:08,35; 9:03,08,46,58 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to (8B) WGA-B, GA(403), adding to. Added. Update. 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.

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! Prepared this, posted some articles, etc. to begin.

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.

Recall addressing you more on this page has been temporary, until completing the new format for all 3 Blogposts, wanting them to display in order, needing to start with the third and work back for this to happen (normally I write most of these notes on Blogpost 1, the START page/post). I've finished with the formatting for this Blogpost 3, and am moving on to the other two! I plan sometime today to have Blogpost 2 started with a Psalm 119 posting from stanza 8, and with it being Saturday on the 7-Day calendar, would recommend the song Back In Time, from the movie Back to the Future, as regards, while being royal, in this case confusion over my election win(s) for President, but getting me where the President should be, especially the true one God is blessing to be so, that I may truly accomplish what the American people voted for me to serve as President and do, looking forward to what God prepared me over much time to be able to do! I've become aware of an adjustment, and am making it, to make two lists on the segment 8, a CTC list and a WGA-B list, rather than mixing them. Complete. (25d.432Fan,f509Fri 8:45,53; 11:46 am; 10:39-40 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! The post of WGA-B, (B-303) now soon to come! Topic is chosen, etc. I apologize again for the delays or the being delayed in various ways, although I aim once again to be more consistent as I had in the past with making posts on thinking and activity. Part of the reason for this has been my continued aims to be where the true U.S. President, blessed by God, should be, as I know many share this important standard that our nation has upheld in most elections throughout it's history! Added the post (B-303), Regarding Department Cuts, Some Excessive...Also posted to Seg.8 LIST (25d.430 Prz,f507 Wed 7:13,15,19 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Improved some things, still upcoming WGA-B post(s), which is a secondary form of the WGA's previously on the start page, moving some to this post on themes not as necessary for the start page content. (25d.428Wnd,f505Mon 9:01,53; 10:13 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Adding the CTC article, fully: Issue after Issue Being Addressed by God's Kingdom: Prejudice and Racism. This is posted as the LATEST CTC POST, as well as the FIRST in the list of CURRENT CTC/WGA-B Posts, as (8.1). More preparation for upcoming WGA-B post(s), under GA(302) WGA-B #1; At least one, GA(303) to be next before ensuing blogpost work... Update to P&R article. Inclusion of Podcast reference. (25d.426Mnd,f503Sat 11:58 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added the (8-2) Persistent Post of the 8-Day Calendar article, called More Orderly Time, Month and Daynames, revised some! I've again had some interferences, for which I apologize. (25d.424Fwn,501Thu 5:08-09 pm EDT) Hello, and welcome! I've had delays, but posted is now the podcast example policy insertion into the Foundation articles from the Podcast series, WM2, on Pushing Reset: Letting Work Become More Enjoyable, Rewarding!

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

(25/416Fan,423Wed, 12:10 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Had a technical issue I believe is now resolved, which slowed me some on the blog while at the same time I was focused on accomplishing other things and still am--I do apologize for the blog delay. I'm working on the new full set of blogposts 1-3, segments 1-9 as previous. All three blogposts are to have a similar format to this one, despite the varying subject matter. I did update the first two articles under Christianity, and am about to add something else to the second article, The Basics. (25/410Min,417Thu, 10:10 am; 5:30 pm EDT) Hello, wishing you well again! Added to the 10 Points with explanation of the change from LGBTQ+ to simply LGTQ, still to be addressing this important issue. It may actually be that simply 3 letters will suffice for the abbreviation, as in GTQ, as Gay had come to represent both male and female gender conditions. This could also possibly be TGQ. (25/408Fwn,p415Tue, 8:20 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added new Proverbs A segment of chapter 3, PR-A(3.4), verses 19-26. I apologize that getting the entire blog up as usual, but with the updated format, is taking time. Still looking to God, asking for prayers, for things to be right, to take place as they should, for everyone's benefit! (25/405Hvn,p412Sat, 7:18-19 pm EDT) Hello! Memorial night, like true Passover, but of Christ's death, the literal and the figurative. You might reflect on the meaning, and read a chapter, perhaps Luke 22, or more, considering lessons. Love of God and His wonderful power and purpose toward mankind, a beautiful and peace-loving world, is made possible! Have faith in the Son, the ransom for forgiveness of sins, and aim for the target of righteousness in your decisions, to honor God and reflect divine wisdom in how you do things, contributing to His will! {Recall that truly anointed ones are to be in attendance to partake, and all were to commemorate on Passover night, honoring God and Christ. Paul also said "As often as" you do this, which can indicate allowance for another month's observance, at least occasionally. It could well be that as anointed ones all reached their new heavenly position, in the secondary application, that the commemoration could consistently involve and recognize a figurative or emblematic eating of spiritual bread, or life-sustaining instruction, as well as drinking of spiritual wine, recognizing Christ's sacrifice and also the rejoicing that wine scripturally signifies, true happiness being made possible with proper understanding and application of God's word and Christianity.} (25/404Wdn,p411Fri, 11:37-38,41 am; 3:27,35 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well again.
