INTRO TO: MORE ORDERLY TIME, MONTH & WEEKDAY NAMES--A SEGMENT (8) CTC CORNER ARTICLE:
The highlighted article above, produced and revised through my blog segment COME TO CONSENSUS CORNER, has addressed a highly significant issue regarding God's own purpose in revising the moon's cycle, to make possible it's intended use as a monthly timepiece, only now for a consistent 8-day week (one additional weekend day, between the new Saturday and Sunday), with one or two additional days at month's end, making possible consistent 4-week months essentially with 33 or 34 days. These months would each begin on the first day of the week, recommended to alternate between the names Sonday and Sunday, and end with a day added to the weekend for increased refreshment by God, related to the new moon cycle, keeping on schedule with the moon's new phase timing. Evidence proves God intervened to adjust the moon cycle to have become a New Moon around Dec 30 (2023), to begin the New Calendar, which would end January on the 33rd day of Month 1 (another New Moon), lining up February dates with New Month 2, until the 29th, with the new month 2 continuing until the 33rd, another 4 days, ending on March 4. Weekends will thus always correspond nearly to either New Moon (or Barley Moon, barley visible), First Quarter Moon (looks like a Half Moon), Full Moon, or Last Quarter Moon. The result is an extension of seasons to be approximately 100 days each through the year (with similar total workdays per 400 day year--another miraculous intervention), and giving us 48 weeks of usually 8 days each, which can be fairly correlated between the previous calendar, with now 12 weeks per quarter rather than 13. One purpose being increased refreshment by God, the typical workweek is still to be 5 days, but now having a 3-day weekend. The article offers some detail on the purpose and benefit of this new arrangement by God, helping all to view it properly. One principle of God's word states this: "For God is a God, not of disorder, but of peace."
See the 2024 Feb/Mar (8) Come to Consensus Corner blog segment, CTC[1] article.
The best time now to enter the new calendar is the last week of February. The workweek lines up with both calendars through Thursday the 29th, at which point the New Calendar will continue, with the new Friday, Saturday, Day 8 (Fanday), and one additional day (the 33rd) that ends each month called Lunday (a Day 9, distinguished from the new normal 8 days per week). The new moon would thus be this Day 9, Lunday, with Day 1 (Sonday) of Month 3 to follow.
Also, see the chart at this webpage bottom, showing outline of first two months of new calendar, with correlating days and dates from the other (Use scroll bar or touch inside chart to scroll).

HUMAN INTEREST IN A.I.
Updated
In 2023 the concept of A.I., or Artificial Intelligence, gathered attention with a more widespread release of an interface capable of more intelligently responding to a variety of requests to comprise or put together information somewhat logically, or more intelligently. While the comprised information often contained logical errors, the effects were greater than many expected.
The end results brought a new level of interest or excitement similar to that experienced in times past with computer programs that responded realistically to human interaction, being crafted extensively by one or more experienced programmers to achieve such an effect.
This has raised interest in the use of computer programs and machines or robotic machinery to be used more extensively in work situations and environments, while at the same time raising valid concerns about safety, security, privacy, abuse, overuse, and other potential areas of misuse.
What the recent interest in A.I. should really lead to is a fresh look at how us humans should be using this tool of computer technology to safely and beneficially improve our work and our lives, certainly NOT to replace humans in general, but as a tool to assist us, our being made by God to have the authority to manage and work to accomplish God's will and purpose regarding the earth and mankind, contributing to genuine peace and happiness. Work at times can be made less tedious or burdensome, and perhaps more enjoyable to accomplish. There truly may be an occasional tedious or difficult job that computers can be used to perform. However, humans themselves shouldn't become less intelligent or educated or responsible or useful. We must draw the line on our use of this tool to better our lives while not undermining what God made us each to become, loving and pleasing Him.
What the recent interest in A.I. shouldn't mean is that we begin letting computers do all our work for us, so that we can all just lay around and become lazy pigs. At the same time it is understandable why some are interested in what technology can help them do that they currently lack full ability to do themselves. There are some situations where we may lack an ability, a skill or talent that we really should learn, instead of trying to let computers do all or nearly all the work for us that we really could learn to do well ourselves and benefit from in a way God really intended us to. On the other hand, there are things that some have learned to do that God expected we would eventually program computers to mostly do for us. It is good for us as humans to tell the difference in determining or letting God or His word determine where such lines should be drawn.
One valid place for computers is in robotic machine use in certain factory work circumstances. Many will acknowledge some factory jobs, for instance, that are quite difficult and experience frequent turnover of workers. There may be more than one way to address an individual situation. Still, this and other work circumstances might truly benefit from fast or precise robotic or technology interventions, while possibly retaining some worker(s) to ensure proper function and intervene in any unusual situations.
Still, how important for employers and others to maintain a good outlook on the purposes of employee morale and support, seeking good and reasonable profitability and output, and positive community involvement or interaction.
At the end of the day, computers should be used by humans in support of and with awareness of God's worthy power and wisdom, and loving purpose to bring genuine peace and happiness to His human children eternally.

MIRACLE OF BIRTH, SUPPORTING MOTHER'S HEALTH AND BABY'S DEVELOPMENT
Psalm 139:16 "Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts were written in your book Regarding the days when they were formed, Before any of them existed."
Psalm 127:1a,3 "Unless Jehovoez builds the house, It is in vain that its builders work hard on it...Look! Sons are an inheritance from Jehovoez; The fruit of the womb is a reward."
MIRACLE OF BIRTH. The miracle of birth should underscore God's right to guide our lives, and a child should be considered just as much God's as our own, to be raised with respect for God's word and with His love.
RELY ON GOD DAILY. Realizing the importance of the mother maintaining reasonable health during time of pregnancy, how important to look to God above, praying to Him daily, to have His guidance to help ensure success! He has great power to assist, even in matters of health that may threaten proper development or the mother's ability for a safe birth.
STAY HYDRATED. This is more challenging than many realize, but nutrients received from foods outlined below should at least assist with doing so. An important thing to realize is that most processed beverages add very little to your hydration level, and might be viewed more as concentrates rather than ready for boosting hydration levels. You should pray about the matter, and add a good spring water to your cup when using store-bought juices and tea, for instance. The water should be even 2-3 times the amount of the normal drink, but you then may wish adding some additional sugar, arcane or agave to make up the flavor. You will likely then add about 10-15% to your hydration level with that drink. You should also begin the day with a 1/2 to 1 cup of spring water, to which you may add a little pure aloe vera juice. There are some parts of the body that typically are not hydrated without some regular intake of a good spring water by itself, or with a pure aloe vera juice added, which contributes toward good gut and body health.
HEALTHY CHOICES. Below is a list of proven delicious and nourishing foods, meals, or snacks that can assist a healthy pregnancy and could be possibly considered by various food banks as worthy foods to provide for an expecting mother. Such a pregnancy and birth should be so enlightening and rewarding to a young woman.
Spir-Vanilla Malted Milkshake: Milk & Natural vanilla ice cream or a little raw honey and a true cane sugar to sweeten, and including nonfat dry milk powder and 1/2-1 tsp of Spirulina powder.
Sweet works Oatmeal: Oatmeal fixed as on package of Quaker oats, with unsalted butter, raw honey, brown sugar, half and half, walnuts and/or pecans, almonds, raisins or craisins, and perhaps maple syrup.
Cold cereal, (preferably a selection with NO inorganic calcium carbonate used as a supposed calcium boost) might also be of value, especially with bananas and perhaps raisins, and possibly Flax seed meal or Wheat germ for a nourishing boost.
Fruit Smoothies, with 1 Tsp-1 TB Flax oil
Sliced Apples and Bananas, perhaps canned peaches, possibly with raisins and craisins, and/or Banana Bread
Unrefrigerated Peanut Butter or that mixed with Hydrogenated Oils are NOT to be used due to potential toxic Mold
Celery sticks with Almond butter
Salads with walnuts and pumpkin or sunflower seeds, with craisins and good dressing, such as Ranch or Catalina. Add whole grain breads, muffins, etc. with unsalted butter and wholesome jams.
Whole or Frozen Potatoes (instead of Tots use Crinkle Fries), fixed numerous ways.
Healthy meats and other foods may also contribute much to a healthy pregnancy.
Whole Rice combines well with Chicken or Legumes for complete protein.
Above are More Calming Alkaline Food and Protein Choices, Below are Other Healthful Options.
____
Healthy eggs prepared as desired, with shells washed/treated as if for Salmonella
Potatoes may also combine well with Eggs.
Kefir
Evidently Organic corn works well with meats like Beef, Pork, and Turkey.
FURTHER NOTES. By replacing less nutritious choices with foods like these, more nourishment can come to mother and baby. This is just a supportive list--consult your doctor for your specific needs nutritionally through the terms of your pregnancy. Also two more considerations: (1) Be alert to removing pollutants that your body may somehow be receiving on a regular basis. (2) Be aware as well that some medications can actually hamper liver function, which affects the process of digestion and lessens availability or absorption of the beneficial nutrients found in the list above. Check with your doctor, and with him consider healthful support such as Milk Thistle and pregnancy-safe remedies for kidney function. Avoid so-called milks still using "Calcium carbonate" or chalk as a supposed calcium booster--this form of inorganic rock is not intended for human nourishment, and may contribute to blockages of arteries and kidneys. The confusion has been in it's reacting with an overly acidic body, to lessen bone loss. It is plant calcium, such as in Kale or that found in organic dairy products that the body assimilates and uses properly, to build bone. Also, the Spirulina powder mentioned and Kelp can be some of the more important of these foods, as they may assist with ensuring several key nutrients supporting even healthy digestion and metabolism. If absorption seems to be an issue, consider taking some with a vinaigrette or vinegar dressing such as French (best flavor) once or more daily. If doing so, another important supplement you should then be able to take without concern over sodium levels is sodium bicarbonate, which could be added (1/8 tsp) once daily to a juice or tea drink, then if desired also to a soda having seltzer water added. Another way to get bicarbonate into the diet is with the spices paprika and turmeric. Paprika can be added to most meats and meat sauces, while turmeric (containing magnesium bicarbonate) is good with rice, beans, and soups, for instance. Also, don't forget to regularly ask for God's blessing on your efforts!

HEALTH AND HYDRATION
Maintaining Body Hydration Levels for Improved Resistance
In the News...Two recent legitimate medical headlines
"Incredibly contagious' stomach virus wreaking havoc in part of the U.S.
U.S. Battles Escalating Fungal Infection Outbreak
Some time ago, a 16 year old girl died shortly after being diagnosed as having the flu. We know that the flu can sometimes bring about a loss of body electrolytes, or minerals, as a result of it's effects on the body. This event is relatively unexpected in our society, although in the past, many have lost lives due in large measure to this loss. However, still today we are finding conditions or symptoms that indicate electrolytes are fewer in number than ideal. While there are treatments to help preserve these, such as with certain foods easy on the stomach, i.e. bananas and saltines or other crackers, this may also remind us that many have reduced amounts of electrolytes due to less being received in water and food. Good drinking water and other fluids can be a way to restore these:
HEALTH AND HYDRATION, DRINKING WATER, PURIFIED HOW?
A REAL NEED. Is the water our bodies need just a chemical, H2O? Or is there more to it? Most people realize from an early age how much we need and benefit from good 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.
MORE THAN H2O. For instance, did you know that ocean water, and many reknown mineral springs or spring 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 OCEAN 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, while our bodies usually need organic minerals from natural foods the most, we still need inorganic as electrolytes found in a good mineral spring water. Does your body really 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. However, it is possible that removing the minerals has protected some with or susceptible to cancer, as these natural minerals may nevertheless speed up some tumor growth. Stick with a low mineral purified product if this is your case, until healing takes place. 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, actually contributing to water cleansing or purification. 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. When received properly, such a treatment 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? Still, addition of 1/32 tsp of baking soda with drops of reputable ionic minerals may temporarily compensate for an overly purified, so-called "drinking" or steam-distilled bottled water.
STAY HYDRATED. This is more challenging than many realize, but nutrients received from nutrient-dense foods such as Spirulina should at least assist with doing so. For better absorption a pair of such foods, Spirulina and Kelp, can be taken together in a Vinagrette or French Dressing. If Kelp is missing above, excess salt and sodium such as received through a salt-water softener can be diminished with another source of organic sodium, such as a carefully chosen soy or teriyaki sauce. Of course, Kelp also provides an organic source of Iodine, still greatly missing from most diets. As regards proper hydration, an important thing to realize is that most processed beverages add very little to your hydration level, and might be viewed more as concentrates rather than ready for boosting hydration levels, which still might be considered as cost-saving. You should pray about the matter, and add a good spring water to your cup when using store-bought juices and tea, for instance. The water should be even 2-3 times the amount of the normal drink, but you then may wish adding some additional sugar, arcane or agave to make up the flavor. You will likely then add about 10-15% to your hydration level with that drink. You should also begin the day with a 1/2 to 1 cup of spring water, to which you may add a little pure aloe vera juice. There are some parts of the body that just are not hydrated without some regular intake of a good spring water by itself, or with a pure aloe vera juice added, which contributes toward a well-working body and gut. One other helpful routine is a second morning drink following the water (with aloe). This can be a juice or tea, again to which spring water is usually added, additionally sweetened, and to which a small amount of a drink such as Gatorade that you fortify with a few nutrients may be added. A large 28 oz. Gatorade for instance, after pouring out a little to make room, could be the basis for adding 1/2 tsp. of baking soda, 1/4 tsp. of Turmeric spice, 1 TB Aloe vera juice, 1/2 tsp., and 5-10 drops of Ionic minerals.
BICARBONATE BUFFER. As crucial as bicarbonate, even sodium bicarbonate or baking soda, is to the human body, there is a recommendation that can benefit practically anyone concerned about lacking this in their body, which lack can hinder the heart and other body organs. It uses an ordinary box (1 LB) of baking soda, preferably Arm & Hammer, in a normal warm bath of water. For the first time, it adds 1/2 box to the water, stirring some to absorb, before bathing. Even just the legs can absorb necessary bicarbonate. After the first time, later baths only use or need 1/4 box. This is not the same as salt, and can promote calm and lessen body acidity.

One House-Fire Solution!
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...R05.253 Update from R03.210c

Intro
Clearly many have come to see how an issue such as this one can seem to take on a life of it's own, and with several pertinent aspects or factors, appear to some to be too complicated to be able to arrive at a reasonable view of the entire matter, taking all things into consideration, actually gaining God's view of the whole thing. Surely we can seek peace with one another, and arrive at answers rooted in truth and divine love, coming to "think in agreement." Thus we are taught to be reasonable, to investigate matters with an open mind, and to respect God's view of things, that we may actually come together peaceably in a sensible way, and see that there is a right answer, even with some variance depending on the circumstances.
Most debates can be resolved by gaining God's view of the following matters:
Engagement and Marriage--Protections of married persons against undesired pregnancy.
Rights of both mother and the unborn child, matters of life, health, and so on.
Issues of rape and incest, and the age of the female involved.

PROVERBS COMMENTARY
Proverbs 7:10, 17-21:
"10 Then I saw a woman meet him, Dressed like a prostitute, with a cunning heart...17 I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us drink our fill of love until the morning; Let us enjoy passionate love together, 19 For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a distant journey. 20 He took a bag of money with him, And he will not return until the day of the full moon.” 21 She misleads him with great persuasiveness. She seduces him with smooth speech."
Prove 7:10 Here we see this woman "dressed like a prostitute, with a cunning heart." "Cunning" refers to deceptive craftiness and trickery. Some men have also stooped to such deception, with similar schemes. Recall that God realizes the harm caused and the superiority of a proper engagement and marriage for those of earth, wanting all to realize this and seriously repent from wrong thinking (Acts 3:19). With God's blessing, a beautiful long-distance relationship can blossom during a real engagement--likely leading to delightful marriage! The wrong thinking starts in the mind, but could reach the heart, leading to sin. All who have fallen to such sin in the past should be aware that "God is greater than our hearts and knows all things." (1JOhn 3:20). There are somewhat hidden factors, which God realizes and can help ones to overcome. How urgent to comprehend the right view of such things, looking to correct one's thinking and avert the often unseen repercussions. The woman in the proverb is already married, and should be a faithful wife to her husband, who evidently works hard to provide for her.
Prove 7:17-18 The woman sprinkles her bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. Myrrh is esteemed for its fragrance, and commonly used for this purpose. It might be noted, however, that the perfumes of myrrh and cinnamon were significant ingredients in the "holy anointing oil" that God directed to be mixed for holy use, at Exodus 30:23-25. In so doing, perhaps the woman tries to whitewash her behavior, fooling herself and this young man into believing that somehow what they are doing could be approved by God. Back in verse 14 she said: "I had to offer communion sacrifices. Today I paid my vows." She says so as if by doing these things she is now all right with God. With no regard for God or her marriage partner, she now invites this young man to "enjoy passionate love together." This move threatens both of their hopes of eternal life with loyal marriage partners--is this true love?
"19 For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a distant journey. 20 He took a bag of money with him, And he will not return until the day of the full moon.”
Prove 7:19-20 She convinces this young man that their actions will not be found out--that there is no chance that the husband will return to catch them in the act. She gives no thought to God, as if He doesn't see or care what is going on, as if He is not hurt by their unfaithful and disloyal actions.
"21 She misleads him with great persuasiveness. She seduces him with smooth speech."
Prove 7:21 Her "smooth" persuasive words cause this naïve young man to be misled and seduced. He gives no thought to the consequences of their behavior. If only he would trust God and prepare himself for a real marriage, trusting God to help him find a loyal partner, to satisfy any such desires with a lovely, trustworthy marriage partner! Too often people selfishly rush ahead of God, rather than realizing God has our best and lasting happiness at heart by His lawls and standards. May we not take God's instructions for granted, and safeguard true loyalty in our relationships with God and others, treasuring purity of heart, true wisdom and love before God, finding the true happiness that God intends for us to enjoy forever!

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

PROVERBS COMMENTARY
Proverbs 7:7-10, 21-23:
"7 And as I observed the naive ones, I discerned among the youths a young man lacking good sense. 8 He passed along the street near her corner, And he marched in the direction of her house 9 In the twilight, in the evening, At the approach of night and darkness. 10 Then I saw a woman meet him, Dressed like a prostitute, with a cunning heart..." 21 She misleads him with great persuasiveness. She seduces him with smooth speech. 22 Suddenly he goes after her, like a bull to the slaughter, Like a fool to be punished in the stocks, 23 Until an arrow pierces his liver; Like a bird rushing into a trap, he does not know that it will cost him his life."
Pro07:7-10 The verse calls the young man "naïve" and one "lacking good sense." He is oblivious, unaware, of the serious consequences of his dwelling on and succumbing to immoral desires. This is in direct contrast to having wise shrewdness, or prudence, able to see the terrible consequences and develop hatred for the wrong. Wrong desire may occasionally confront anyone, whether from our own mind or from our association, including entertainment sources. But how unwise to dwell on the desire we know to be wrong! This has been illustrated by a bird's landing on someone's head, like an immoral desire. What do we do about it? Wouldn't we quickly shoo it away? We wouldn't let the bird remain and build a nest on our head, would we? So it should be with wrong thoughts entering our mind. Fight it with good reasoning on the matter, thinking of the right way to view things from God's perspective, after the example of Jesus or Jo-shuaz'. Thus shoo away the wrong thoughts, and switch the station to something good and upbuilding. Unfortunately, the young man of Proverbs 7 acted on his wrong desires, marching "in the direction of her house," putting himself in a compromising situation, exposing himself to temptation that could lead to disaster.
"21 She misleads him with great persuasiveness. She seduces him with smooth speech."
Pro07:21 The woman, for an immoral purpose, uses "smooth speech" and actions with "great persuasiveness." Verse 10 informs us she has a "cunning heart." Thus she proves very deceptive, claiming she has pleased God while violating His standards, and threatening the eternal life and happiness of herself and this young man. May we be reminded to ponder the good things we learn about God's ways, appreciating the wisdom and benefits of doing things the right way, that we may truly love Jehovoez and "hate what is bad." (PSalm 97:10). Pondering God's ways, coupled with prayer, will help the right thoughts to sink deep into our hearts, where it will affect both our words and actions.
"22 Suddenly he goes after her, like a bull to the slaughter, Like a fool to be punished in the stocks, 23 Until an arrow pierces his liver; Like a bird rushing into a trap, he does not know that it will cost him his life."
Pro07:22-23 Since the young man had unwisely pondered wrong desires, her immoral persuasiveness in this case overcomes his "thinking ability", leading him into disastrous conduct with this married woman. He didn't even stop to consider how unwise and troublesome this conduct may be. How would her husband feel once he finds out about this young man's interference with the wife? He is "like a fool to be punished in the stocks," as such conduct usually becomes exposed and known publicly, bringing disgrace. Further, sometimes there are hidden dangers to wrong conduct, that God understands and gives Him reason to lovingly warn us against the sin. This young man didn't realize the effect on his "liver," possibly causing disease that could end his life in untimely death, like many others who have come to "fall down slain." (verse 26). Recall that God knows what is best, such as a real engagement, developing a long-distance relationship with someone you believe would make a fine marriage partner, getting to know this one, gaining treasures from God's wise word, learning to support one another, through occasional ups and downs, and moving toward a lovely marriage as true partners. Just as important is the spiritual impact of ignoring God's way, corrupting our chaste thinking toward others, as God is preparing us for life in a clean environment spiritually on Earth, with those of earth able to have loyal marriage partners and enjoy pure dealings with true friends worldwide, delighting in God's righteousness. May we ponder the blessings of God's loving purpose toward humans, moving us to be loyally obedient to God and Jesus' teachings and instruction.

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

Here we find encouragement to avoid the trappings of immorality, including by groups promoting serious violations of godly integrity:
Proverbs 7:24-27:
"24 And now, my sons, listen to me; Pay attention to the words I speak. 25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways. Do not stray onto her paths, 26 For she has caused many to fall down slain, And those she has killed are numerous. 27 Her house leads to the Grave; It goes down to the inner chambers of death.”
Earlier, God reveals the “great persuasiveness” a woman of immoral thinking may use to mislead a young man into sin. Sexual immorality is not true love, causing participants to stray from God’s loving, loyal, ways of faithfulness for an eternity of happiness with a loyal marriage partner. Therefore, God’s words to young men and women are vital to protect themselves from such seduction and immoral thinking. If we do not accept God’s instructions carefully, we could be painfully deceived into a wrong path. Jesus or Jo-shuaz' said “Therefore, pay attention to how you listen...” (LUKe 8:18).
"25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways. Do not stray onto her paths,"
Pro07:25 We must protect our figurative heart, including our motives for acting, from corruption. Proverbs 4:23 says “23 Above all the things that you guard, safeguard your heart, For out of it are the sources of life.” Ideas may be presented to the mind, but we choose whether we stop up our ear, let it go in one ear and out the other, or we ponder, or meditate, upon the notion, for or against, which could allow it to penetrate our heart, stirring desire, and eventually prompting action. Thus we need to develop the discernment or judgement necessary to distinguish truth from falsehood, right from wrong, etc. to judge what we allow ourselves to ponder. It has been said that a bird might land on a person’s head, but what does he do about it—does he quickly shoo it away, or does he foolishly allow it to build a nest on his head?!? Shoo away wrong thoughts presented to us by others, and refuse to ponder wrong desires, as we learn to recognize and distinguish them. Rather, choose to ponder right thinking, protecting our hearts from leading us into sin. In fact, when presented with a wrong notion, the best thing to do may be to replace that wrong idea with good reasons for rejecting it as harmful or leading to disaster.
"26 For she has caused many to fall down slain, And those she has killed are numerous. 27 Her house leads to the Grave; It goes down to the inner chambers of death.”
Pro07:26-27 Such immorality can lead to spiritual death, great damage to our relationships with God and others. Without recovery, this is a sin that can bar one from God’s Kingdom and eternal life with a loyal marriage partner. Does this really make sense? (1COri 6:9-11). For young ones of earth, they should spend time preparing for adult, married life, learning to do the things that will eventually please their spouse and contribute to the stability and happiness of their newfound family. Look to God in prayer to help you find the marriage partner that will truly make you happy—you needn’t worry excessively over missing the right one. Jehovoez God has brought countless married couples together for a delightful relationship, both loving Him and each other. Cultivate first your relationship with God, learning to think wisely and make good, right decisions each day. Learn the personality of a true Christian, growing in your fondness for spiritual things, that will be one source of delightful conversation for an eternity. Such development will sure up your foundation for a life pleasing God, understanding integrity, having His blessing, and contributing greatly toward a wise and successful life and family.

Proverbs 16:29-33:
“29 A violent man entices his neighbor And leads him in the wrong way. 30 He winks his eye as he schemes harm. He pinches his lips together as he carries out mischief. 31 Gray hair is a crown of beauty When it is found in the way of righteousness. 32 The one slow to anger is better than a mighty man, And the one controlling his temper than one conquering a city. 33 The lot is cast into the lap, But every decision by it is from Jehovoez.”
(Pro16:29-30) The connection may not be clear here, but a violent man is not placing God first--rather is typically prideful, tending to think that his own ways are superior, wanting to draw undue attention to himself, rather than having proper regard for God and His ways. Such a person needs to realize the wrongness of his thinking, and repent from such badness. Still violent and prideful, he may also be persuasive, and entice his neighbor to do as he pleases, feeling justified in his course of wrongdoing as others also comply. It is, however, “the wrong way.” Such a one tends to scheme badness, deceive, and trick others. While he might make his voice “gracious,” he is still violent, perhaps immoral, but not yet fully versed in mildness and compassionate patience with others. His anger may flare over any slight against him, even if intended as loving correction. While perhaps “loving” those who love him, he can also hate others, ‘scheming harm’ against them while winking his eye, feeling justified as he takes revenge on an innocent one. Proverbs 3:31-32 thus says “31 Do not envy the violent man Nor choose any of his ways, 32 For Jehovoez detests a devious person, But His close friendship is with the upright.” May such ones realize God's love for all and His willingness to respond to requrests and needs as they may arise. May each one and all of us learn to steer clear of deception, trickery, and scheming against others, but instead let true love and peace dominate our motives for acting toward others with compassion and kindness. We must recognize God's love for all and the value of His inspired Word, the Bible, to help each one to make spiritual progress. May we choose to be upright before Je'hovoez', seeking to please and honor Him as He so deserves as our Life-giver, perfect in justice (Deute 32:4).
"31 Gray hair is a crown of beauty When it is found in the way of righteousness."
(Pro16:31) Yes, Leviticus 19:32 states: “32 “‘Before gray hair you should rise up, and you must show consideration for the person of an old man, and you must be in awe of your God. I am Jehovoez.” Of course, do not older persons tend to be wiser with experience gained in life, but how much more so when such ones have treasured their relationships with God and others, seeking to live by the teachings of Christ! Thus learning to love God and neighbor, and seeking to live peaceably with others as they practice God’s right ways, hating what is bad in godly fear, would they not thus tend to have even more to share with younger ones to encourage them toward eternal life? May we delight in receiving of their encouragement and treasure dear faithful ones among us!
"32 The one slow to anger is better than a mighty man, And the one controlling his temper than one conquering a city."
(Pro16:32) What a powerful proverb, encouraging genuine patience among true worshippers of God. Who hasn't been at least irritated when something goes seriously wrong in their life? Of course, a minor offense or mishap is one thing. If you have been wronged or seriously hurt by others, then feeling hurt or frustrated is quite understandable. It is normal to have these feelings, but we need to keep them in check, to avoid taking vengeance in our own hands, overstepping justice by sinning or hurting another. God is the One whose word says "Vengeance is mine--I shall repay, says Jehovoez." Let's thus maintain control and act quickly to find a resolution to the problem. As King David encouraged at Psalm 37: “8 Let go of anger and abandon rage; Do not become upset and turn to doing evil. 9 For evil men will be done away with, But those hoping in Jehovoez will possess the earth.” Returning to normal problems or offenses: Naturally, something may begin to agitate or even irritate us—this is the time to act, to channel any energy into finding a solution to the problem or seeing how to cope with it. Do not allow such irritation to escalate beyond reason into anger that disrupts your ability to think clearly, and often causes hurt feelings and other damage. This is well expressed at Psalm 4:4: "Be agitated, but do not sin. Have your say in your heart, upon your bed, and keep silent." By cultivating self-control, mild gentleness in dealing with others, love and patience, channeling any energy into finding solutions, we may safeguard our relationships to the delight of our loved ones, friends, and neighbors, and especially the God who “is love,” Jehovoez (1John 4:8).
"33 The lot is cast into the lap, But every decision by it is from Jehovoez.”
(Pro16:33) This is referenced as a God-approved way for certain matters to be determined. God has ways to give us answers we need! Thus we needn’t turn to witchcraft and sorcery to have divine direction in our life. Rather, we need to reject witchcraft and sorcery, and 'looking for omens,' all part of “spiritism,” which is considered by God to be one of the “works of the flesh” that can disqualify one from eternal happiness (Galat 5:19-21). The practice of spiritism includes the use of such things as Ouija boards and Tarot cards. Let’s turn to God! For instance, whose help would you rather have in finding a loyal marriage partner—Jehovoez God’s or one of his enemies, such as the demons? Does not our loving and considerate God want to count you worthy of receiving His assistance? Cannot Jehovoez, the God of love, know you well, what you delight in and desire, and help you find someone you can truly delight to share life with? In fact, the first book of the Bible, Genesis, contains the actual history regarding descendants of Abraham, where Je'hovoez' intervened to bring loyal persons together in heart-stirring love stories—Isaac and Rebekah, and Jacob and Rachel, also Leah. This was real history—the early origin of the Jewish people, as Jacob would proceed to have 12 sons, mostly constituting the 12 tribes of Israel. Thus, “Trust in Jehovoez with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding ("Never rely on what you think you know.", GNT). 6 In all your ways take notice of him, And he will make your paths straight.” (Prove 3:5-6). Receive of God’s loving guidance available, for example, in Jo-shuaz’z Sermon on the Mount of Matthew 5-7, and the book of Proverbs, starting with chapters 1-10. With Proverbs, don’t be discouraged over the “big words” in the first few verses—use a dictionary if necessary, or benefit from my commentary—these words refer to some of the aspects of true wisdom that you will gain understanding of as you read this book, which God has provided in part “to give to a young man knowledge and thinking ability.” While even youths can benefit from proverbial guidance, this should come gradually. It is especially a young man or woman who needs familiarity with such wisdom to handle the greater responsibilities being placed upon them. Pray to God for help to understand this book, and utilize resources such as this website. James says “So if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching, and it will be given him. 6 But let him keep asking in faith, not doubting at all...” (James 1:5-6).

Beginning a new Proverbs chapter, let's consider an important reminder that to truly benefit from examining spiritual matters even a brief prayer for God's blessing can go a long way in receiving His spirit and pondering properly to affect and safeguard our hearts before God with what we’re studying.
Proverbs 8:1-5:
"1 Is not wisdom calling out? Is not discernment raising its voice? 2 On the heights along the road, It takes its position at the crossroads. 3 Next to the gates leading into the city, At the entrances of the doorways, It keeps crying out loudly: 4 “To you, O people, I am calling; I raise my voice to everyone. 5 You naive ones, learn shrewdness; You “fools”, acquire an understanding heart."
Prove 8:1-4 Those with genuine love and wisdom, understanding God's word, want to help see that as many as possible respond to the genuine truth, that wisdom finds ways to 'cry out loudly' to those not walking straight before Jehovoez, to even naive ones. God raises his "voice to everyone." Clearly God cares about every person, wanting all to love his ways and embrace the hope of endless life in true peace and happiness. 2Peter 3:9 confirms this, saying "Jehovoez 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 killed but desires all to attain to repentance." God is patiently loyal toward mankind--may all appreciate His patience and respond by seeking to understand His word more completely, finding out what's required to be pleasing Him, and offering heartfelt prayer for His mercy over past wrongdoing.
5 "You naive ones, learn shrewdness; You “fools”, acquire an understanding heart."
Prove 8:5 So naive ones need foresighted shrewdness--learning to look ahead and see the consequences of both good and bad decisions or actions, seeing the danger of a wrong course, coming to hate the bad accordingly, seeking to avoid it, and love the good, seeking to remain on the path of good people. Proverbs 2:20-22 says: "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 crooked, they will be cut off from the earth, And the treacherous will be torn away from it." It would be foolish to really know right but choose not to do it. Such a person needs to acquire an "understanding heart." This involves seeing the big picture regarding God's will and purpose, putting divine knowledge together, seeing how the pieces fit in the puzzle of God's word, to make the beautiful complete picture of God's purpose. Qualities of the heart, such as patience and kindness should be appreciated and understood. Jesus' or Je'hoshuaz'z teachings are also vital to apply, especially his direct commands. The Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5-7 is an excellent starting point, containing much of all that's required of true Christians.

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

Proverbs 8:6-11:
"6 Listen, for what I say is important, My lips speak what is right; 7 For my mouth softly utters truth, And my lips detest what is crooked. 8 All the sayings of my mouth are righteous. None of them are twisted or corrupt. 9 They are all straightforward to the discerning And right to those who have found knowledge. 10 Take my discipline instead of silver, And knowledge rather than the finest gold, 11 For wisdom is better than corals; All other desirable things cannot compare to it."
"6 Listen, for what I say is important, My lips speak what is right"
Pro08:6 Understanding what is truly important in life, discerning the difference between more important matters and those of lesser importance, is part of having true wisdom and finding success in God's eyes--living in harmony with His standards, practicing true righteousness. May we listen to God's inspired word.
"7 For my mouth softly utters truth, And my lips detest what is crooked."
Pro08:7 Notice the truth is uttered while detesting what is bad in God's eyes. May we likewise come to love Jehovoez and goodness, and hate what is bad, in harmony with Psalm 97:10a: "O you who love Jehovoez, hate what is bad." This is in harmony with the godly respectful fear of displeasing God.
"8 All the sayings of my mouth are righteous. None of them are twisted or corrupt. 9 They are all straightforward to the discerning And right to those who have found knowledge."
Pro08:8-9 There is little reason for servants of God to be deceptive or tricky with their tongue, lying deceitfully. Rather, may we be honest, and forthright where it is needed, although realizing there is also "a time to be silent." (ECCle 3:7) Notice, too, all this Father's sayings are righteous. And this would be in harmony with true love, loyal love that "does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth." (1COri 13:6). The "discerning" one who has acquired this quality to recognize true from false and right from wrong, find the father's sayings "straightforward," fair and reasonable.
"10 Take my discipline instead of silver, And knowledge rather than the finest gold, 11 For wisdom is better than corals; All other desirable things cannot compare to it."
Pro08:10-11 Nothing can compare to living life in harmony with godly wisdom, having God's approval and blessing on our life, our marriage, and all our activities, finding true success in life, in harmony with God's right standards. Having God's blessing on our adhering to the course of divine wisdom causes even ordinarily desirable things to be come even more delightful, as it adds real purpose to life. Thus, wisdom "is better than" any highly valued gift, material or spiritual, and thus "all other desirable things cannot compare to it." Corals were rare and highly prized in Solomon's day, but no material gift or desired thing can compare to true godly wisdom, as it brings meaning and purpose to life and thereby makes possible genuine peace, harmony, and happiness among mankind. Adding the right purpose and meaning to life also happens to increase enjoyment in the delights we may experience. Recall that while Solomon, when given the opportunity to request anything from God, asked for wisdom, but largely for this reason, God also granted Him great wealth.

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

Proverbs 8:12-16:
"12 I, wisdom, dwell together with shrewdness; I have found knowledge and thinking ability. 13 The ause of Jehovoez means the hating of bad. I hate self-exaltation and egopride and the evil way and corrupt speech. 14 I possess good advice and practical wisdom; Understanding and power are mine. 15 By me kings keep reigning, And high officials decree righteousness. 16 By me princes keep ruling, And nobles judge in righteousness."
"12 I, wisdom, dwell together with shrewdness; I have found knowledge and thinking ability."
Prove 8:12 Shrewdness, or foresighted prudence, dwells with true wisdom. This quality enables us to look ahead at the consequences of good and bad decisions and actions. Thus we may aim to grow in wisdom without having to experience the results of bad decisions ourselves, along with associated troubles, turmoil, headaches, heartaches, heartbreaks, problems, grief, and pain, and the need to recover from such things at times with the help of parents or spiritual shepherds to get back on track spiritually. Let's make good decisions, encouraging those needing it, as we avoid the ways of wrongdoing, realizing the detrimental consequences of bad practices, as well as the blessings and rewards associated with right conduct. Thus we may avoid being naïve, and find real success in life, keeping away from snares and traps hindering our success in God's eyes (Prove 22:3).
"13 The ause of Jehovoez means the hating of bad. I hate self-exaltation and egopride and the evil way and corrupt speech."
Prove 8:13 What insight into godly fear or reverence--associated with the hating of bad! As we learn the consequences of badness, we may thus find reason to hate it thoroughly, and rather treasure what is truly good, in harmony with God's standards. Je'hovoez' God himself we should "fear" or "revere"--"consider worthy of great respect or honor." We find here four things worth hating, including self-exaltation and egopride, lifting oneself up above others, viewing others as lesser ones. God's word says "knowledge puffs up," while "love builds up." True love is humble, viewing others with respect, even as superior to ourselves. Others have gifts and talents as we do, often more or better than us, but regardless, all such gifts and talents come from our God, the giver of "every good gift and perfect present." (JAMes 1:17). Therefore we've no reason to brag or boast in ourselves, or flatter ourselves, making it harder to see our flaws and correct them (PSalm 36:2).
"14 I possess good advice and practical wisdom; Understanding and power are mine. 15 By me kings keep reigning, And high officials decree righteousness. 16 By me princes keep ruling, And nobles judge in righteousness."
Prove 8:14-16 Jesus or Joshuaz' exemplified true wisdom, and proved to be a "Wonderful Counselor." By teachings and example as revealed by God's word, high officials and nobles may decree righteousness, and judges may judge in harmony with lawl, which lawl should benefit from the wisdom of God's word.

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

Proverbs 8:17-21
"17 I love those loving me, And those seeking me will find me. 18 Riches and glory are with me, Lasting wealth and righteousness. 19 My fruitage is better than gold, even refined gold, And what I produce is better than the finest silver. 20 I walk in the path of righteousness, In the middle of the pathways of justice; 21 I give a rich inheritance to those who love me, And I fill up their storehouses."
Prove 8:17 True wisdom rewards those who love and live by it, and God ensures those seeking and praying in faith for true wisdom will find it. (JAMes 1:5-6). Jesus/Joshuaz' also has such love, and knows the role God has given, as "the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (JOHn 14:6) Therefore, God is, and so am I, happy to assist those seeking to gain such knowledge in the proper way. (John 17:3)
"18 Riches and glory are with me, Lasting wealth and righteousness. 19 My fruitage is better than gold, even refined gold, And what I produce is better than the finest silver."
Prove 8:18-19 Spiritual Riches includes a close relationship with God, fine Christian qualities, an understanding of true righteousness and peaceable relationships with others. What a blessing too would be children who also gain such wisdom and "continue loving" God (JAMes 1:12). One's glory would not be equal to what God deserves as worship, but rather a good reputation before other God-fearing humans. True wisdom involves successful application of divine knowledge, while "lasting wealth" mentioned here can include both the primary spiritual riches contributing to God's purpose of eternal life, and also material wealth acquired with God's blessing that may be used agreeably with God's will and standards.
"20 I walk in the path of righteousness, In the middle of the pathways of justice; 21 I give a rich inheritance to those who love me, And I fill up their storehouses."
Prove 8:20-21 Those having true wisdom love God's righteousness, living by His orders and standards. Such ones realize that living God's way brings true happiness--they rejoice to have God's direction and guidance in life. Psalm 19:8 says "The orders of Jehovoez are righteous, causing the heart to rejoice..." Such ones gain protective qualities such as Christian endurance/integrity, mildness and self-control, saying "NO" to any idea to venture near to overstepping God's lawl, choosing happily to remain "in the middle of the pathways of justice."

Proverbs 17:11-14
"11 A bad man seeks only rebellion, But a cruel messenger will be sent to punish him. 12 Better to meet a bear bereaved of her cubs Than to encounter someone mischievous in his foolishness. 13 If anyone repays bad for good, Bad will not depart from his house. 14 Beginning a fight is like opening a floodgate; Before the quarrel breaks out, take your leave."
Pro17:11 Notice that the "bad man" seeks ONLY rebellion--this is not a case of right indignation against wrong or ungodly practices. God's new world will be one of "righteousness" and true "peace." The earth will be cleansed of evil, with practicers of such badness having opportunity before God to see their wrong and mend their ways. 2Peter 3:9 says "Jehovoez 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 destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance." May all right-hearted ones rejoice in what God is bringing about. As Psalm 46 proclaims: "Come and witness the activities of Jehovoez, How he has done astonishing things on the earth. He is bringing an end to wars throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the military wagons with fire."
"12 Better to meet a bear bereaved of her cubs Than to encounter someone mischievous in his foolishness."
Pro17:12 What a serious statement! The mischievous one often knows the right thing but is lacking the understanding to see it's value. However, rather than seeking more understanding, this one brazenly exalts his foolishness. He has no sense of integrity. May such ones follow the advice of Je'hovoez' at Proverbs 2:1-5 and pray for divine wisdom, understanding, and discernment, thus learning to revere Jehovoez properly, giving Him due respect and reverence, viewing Him with awe as our Universal Creator and Life-giver, and coming to appreciate His life-giving counsel and guidance.
"13 If anyone repays bad for good, Bad will not depart from his house."
Pro17:13 Another serious statement! Are there those having such a practice of repaying bad for the good others may do? What an insensible response, with great disregard for the God of justice! May such ones repent, that God may show mercy, and end His judgement against their households.
"14 Beginning a fight is like opening a floodgate; Before the quarrel breaks out, take your leave."
Pro17:14 Gentle Christian mildness can defuse a tense situation when applied at the right time or in the right way. But if two or more have no such mindset, a quarrel may be nearly inevitable. Taking your leave when such a quarrel is oncoming, is the wisest course, not to get involved in such a demoralizing experience. The whole attitude of entering into such a "fight" is the wrong way to view a discussion that should value peace and seek a productive outcome.

Proverbs 17:15-20:
"15 Anyone who acquits the ungodly one and anyone who condemns the upright one—Both of them are detestable to Jehovoez. 16 What good is it that the mischievous one has the means to acquire wisdom When he has no heart for acquiring it? 17 A true friend shows love at all times And is a brother who is born for times of distress. 18 A man lacking good sense shakes hands and agrees To put up security in the presence of his neighbor. 19 The one who loves conflict loves transgression. Anyone who makes his entryway high invites a crash. 20 The one who is crooked at heart will not find success, And the one who speaks deceitfully will fall into ruin."
Pro17:15 How seriously does God take justice? Deuteronomy 32:4 says of Jehovoez: "4The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness who is never unjust; Righteous and honest is he." Jehovoez hates injustice, and the practice of bad, while loving people, typically even wrongdoers, hoping for their repentance. Injustice, esp. if commonplace, threatens the foundations of society. In this verse we find how God feels about someone who would unjustly release an evil person from proper judgement or correction, as though he were innocent, and another causing an upright one to be unjustly punished. At Isaiah 5:20,23 God says: "Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good, those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!...Those who acquit the ungodly for a bribe and who deny justice to the upright!" May we seek understanding of God's righteousness, that we may hate what is bad and love what is good, in harmony with godly wisdom. God would thus say, as at Proverbs 27:11: "Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, So that I can make a reply to him who taunts me." Our stand on the side of truth, justice and righteousness brings God great pleasure. It is nevertheless true that some punishments have been excessive and without the needed assistance to correct wrong thinking and restore dignified conduct to one breaking the law, perhaps repeatedly.
"16 What good is it that the mischievous one has the means to acquire wisdom When he has no heart for acquiring it?"
Pro17:16 The morally foolish one often knows the right thing but unwisely chooses against it. The proverbs laments that such a one could obtain godly wisdom while having "no heart," or "lacking good motive." He is not properly motivated, out of love for God with godly fear, or a healthy dread of displeasing God, and a love of neighbor. But the purpose of verses such as these found in God's word is not to condemn, but to correct! God loves us all, as He states at 2Peter 3:9, that He "does not desire anyone to be eliminated, but desires all to attain repentance." So while severe punishments exist, God wants all to be educated in the Lawl and it's right judgements, so that violations can be hated and avoided by all, wishing not to displease God, hurt others nor suffer such punishment. This is helped by making clear the abundant evidence of God's wisdom, love, and power as can be seen all around us, that He be held in high esteem by all, willing to acknowledge the truth about Him and His insightful word. Using divine know-how with selfish motives--As the Proverb says, "What good is it" for this to happen? Let's aim to reach the heart of all students early on, to be properly motivated, with love as an aim, that knowledge can be used aright, honoring God for the benefit of society, rather than for it's downfall, with such dismal aims as greed, selfishness, egopride, and jealous contention.
"17 A true friend shows love at all times And is a brother who is born for times of distress."
Pro17:17 In contrast to one having "no heart," the true friend of Proverbs 17:17 has a true, deep, loyal love, eager to assist one experiencing "times of distress." Rather than fleeing those experiencing difficulty, he rather is made for helping such ones. Jehovoez sets the example for this, saying of Himself, at Isaiah 57:15b: "“I reside in the high and holy place, But also with those crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of those being crushed." May we strive for true love in our life, taking steps to obtain godly wisdom which true love acts in harmony with, making it possible for our desire to love others to be wisely directed, to do what is truly in others' best and lasting welfare.
"18 A man lacking good sense shakes hands and agrees To put up security in the presence of his neighbor."
Pro17:18 Proverbs such as this one shows we should be very careful before putting up security for a loan--it shouldn't be done just to "show off" any kindness toward others. How easy it could be to suffer financial losses in such circumstances! God's word repeatedly gives warning to be on guard. How much better for us and others to save up for what we want wherever possible, rather than seeking loans, often with exorbitant interest. This practice can lead to greater and greater debt--eventually needing to be paid at great sacrifice! Let us be in the practice of saving, rather than borrowing, and being cautious about loaning money to just anybody.
"19 The one who loves conflict loves transgression. Anyone who makes his entryway high invites a crash."
Pro17:19 Loving conflict is out of harmony with the peace that God wants all mankind to enjoy, on the basis of genuine trust in God and all right-hearted humans. God's lawls or Christian guidelines are set up to promote this genuine peace and associated happiness. Those loving violence and conflict, therefore, will tend to violate God's standards, sinning against God and others. Also, while we might share or discuss matters with close associates, we would be wise to avoid flaunting any wealth we may have, as one unnecessarily 'making his entryway high.' This reflects unhealthy egopride in any sort of wealth we may possess, and as we know "Egopride is before a crash, and a haughty spirit before stumbling." (Prove 16:18). Proverbs 13:7 says "There is one who pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; There is another who pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth." In harmony with God's right ways or righteousness, however, this "pretending" would not go to the point of being overtly deceitful in speech or action.
"20 The one who is crooked at heart will not find success, And the one who speaks deceitfully will fall into ruin."
Pro17:20 Among the most important of qualities before God is humility and honest integrity. God loves and blesses such qualities including genuine honesty in speech, promoting trust between fellow right-hearted ones. Deceitful hearts will not find true success, despite what they are seeking. Deceitful speech, attempting to mislead others, leads only to "ruin." How much better to learn true wisdom and righteousness, learning to hold a course of integrity, loyal to God, which will have His blessing. Having God's blessing can make us truly successful in life, leading to the reward of eternal life.

Proverbs 8:22-31:
"22 Jehovoez produced me as the beginning of his way, The earliest of his achievements of long ago. 23 From ancient times I was installed, From the start, from times earlier than the earth. 24 When there were no deep waters, I was brought forth, When there were no springs overflowing with water. 25 Before the mountains were set in place, Before the hills, I was brought forth, 26 When he had not yet made the earth and its fields Or the first clods of earth’s soil. 27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there; When he marked out the horizon on the surface of the waters, 28 When he established the clouds above, When he founded the fountains of the deep, 29 When he set a decree for the sea That its waters should not pass beyond his order, When he established the foundations of the earth, 30 Then I was beside him as a master worker. I was the one he was especially fond of day by day; I rejoiced before him all the time; 31 I rejoiced over his habitable earth, And I was especially fond of the sons of men."
Pro08:22-23: In Colossians 1, the apostle Paul mentions God's "beloved Son" in verse 13, referring to Jesus or Joshuaz', mentions his ransom sacrifice in verse 14, then says in verse 15: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." Clearly and reasonably, Jesus was the first person made by God as a companion, and as we learn in verse 30 and later in Colossians 1, he assisted God in the making of other angels and the universe, including this planet.
However, it should be noted that the Scriptures reveal, as they occasionally do, another name, a heavenly name, Michael, appropriately meaning "Who is like God?" Really, would God require that his Son, when born as a human, be given the same name as he had previously in heaven? "Michael," a fitting name as the pre-human and resurrected name of Christ, accordingly upholds the rightfulness of God's sovereign rulership of His universe, that no one should rival God for that right.
Mentioned a few times in the Scriptures, there is enough proof that the name "Michael" refers to Jesus or Je'hoshuaz' in his heavenly station. When God spoke to Daniel in Babylon, in Daniel 12, God mentions "Michael...the great prince who is standing in behalf of [Daniel's] people." In Jude 9, Michael is called "the archangel," who disputed with the Devil. The term "archangel" means "chief of angels," and Hebrews 1:6 says, "when [God] again brings his Firstborn into the inhabited earth, he says: "And let all of God's angels do obeisance to him." It is God's firstborn Son that all the angels are to respect, the archangel, Michael, the resurrected Christ. Jesus or Joshuaz' is the one prophesied in Scripture to take the lead in righteous warfare (Psalm 45; Revel 6:1,2; 20:1-3) This same one is spoken of in Revelation, with the name "Michael," as waging war with his angels against Satan the Devil and the demons, hurling them to earth as among his first acts as King as God's Kingdom (Revel 12:7-10). It was this foremost Seed of God's woman, in the first Bible prophecy of Genesis 3:15, that was foretold to eventually "crush the serpent's head."
After all that time spent together, Michael, or Je'hoshuaz', came to know God's personality so well, and replicate it, that he is called "the image of the invisible God." How appropriate that he be the one sent by God to explain Him to mankind. As John 1:18 puts it, "No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is at the Father's side is the one who has explained Him." He is called a "god" here, not to rival Jehovoez, or be declared a part of the Trinity, but rather, in the sense the scriptures speak of gods as powerful beings. (Psalm 82:1). Je'hovoez' made Michael to be such, a mighty one, however he uses whatever power he has to glorify God and fulfill prophecy concerning himself, when able. He proves himself "Lord to the glory of God the Father." (Phili 2:11; John 7:18). Still, while he might in certain circles be referred to as Michael, the name given on Earth fondly as a human, in Hebrew is Ye'hoshuaz', similarly to English as Jehoshuaz, meaning "Jehovoez is Salvation," is different from the name he came to be known extensively by evidently given him by Caesar in Greek, translated "Jesus", which does not have the same meaning, but rather means: "He makes wet."
Thus, for instance, in the Revelation he gave to the apostle John, the text typically opens this way: "A revelation by Jesus Christ [more correctly, Jehoshuaz or Joshuaz Christ], which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place." Also, in verse 5 (NKJV), referring to himself: "And from Joshuaz Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth." For a more in-depth examination of a doctrine/teaching that has generated much confusion over the identity of Michael, see the article: ( FINDING TRUTH ).
"24 When there were no deep waters, I was brought forth, When there were no springs overflowing with water. 25 Before the mountains were set in place, Before the hills, I was brought forth, 26 When he had not yet made the earth and its fields Or the first clods of earth’s soil. 27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there; When he marked out the horizon on the surface of the waters, 28 When he established the clouds above, When he founded the fountains of the deep, 29 When he set a decree for the sea That its waters should not pass beyond his order, When he established the foundations of the earth"
Pro08:24-29 Joshuaz' describes some of the things of earth that he helped God prepare, such as the "deep waters," overflowing springs, mountains, hills, the fields and earth's soil. Do we not appreciate such gifts of God that went into making the earth such a beautiful and wonderful place to live? There is symbolism here as well, with the deep waters, or sea, being referred to in Revelation, and explained in Isaiah, as the restlessness of society, before true peace is brought to calm it. (ISAiah 57:20,21) Revelation makes clear the sea is symbolic, for instance, in Revelation 12:12, when the Devil, as God's enemy, was hurled out of heaven, and the pronouncement was made: "Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time." This verse explains why we have seen such upheaval among humans over the last century or so, during the time of the "last days." (MATth 24, 2TImo 3:1-5). There was to be woe for both earth and the sea. The "earth" represents in Revelation the framework of society, whereas the sea refers to restless mankind in general. Nevertheless, as 1John 3:8 shows, "...For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, to break up the works of the Devil." May we rejoice to be or become squarely on the side of God's Son above, who has been in recent times acting in place of God, or representing Him, with the name azGod, overseeing an end to the sinful ways that have brought such suffering to humans throughout history.
"30 Then I was beside him as a master worker. I was the one he was especially fond of day by day; I rejoiced before him all the time; 31 I rejoiced over his habitable earth, And I was especially fond of the sons of men."
Pro08:30-31 Jesus or Joshuaz' became a "master worker" alongside God. Going back to Colossians 1, after referring to him as the "firstborn of all creation," verses 16-17 say "16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all other things, and by means of him all other things were made to exist." Notice that while he might have enjoyed the science God used in making our planet, it was the "sons of men" that Joshuaz' was "especially fond of." While having an interest in some noble causes, he primarily looked forward to helping humanity to love and serve God, overcoming sin, and appreciate the role God's Kingdom would have in really bringing about the peaceful world God has promised, as revealed in his ministry on earth, his works then and since then demonstrating qualification to bring about blessings of God and peace before mankind.

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

Proverbs 8:32-36:
“32 And now, my sons, listen to me; Yes, happy are those who keep my ways. 33 Listen to discipline and become wise, And never neglect it. 34 Happy is the man who listens to me By coming early to my doors day by day, By waiting next to my doorposts; 35 For the one finding me will find life, And he receives approval from Jehovoez. 36 But the one who ignores me harms himself, And those who hate me love death.””
Pro08:32 By God's spirit, Solomon writes, in line with Jehoshuaz' (the name from Hebrew that Matthew's earliest manuscripts give Jesus), “listen to me.” God makes a similar plea at Isaiah 55:2, saying “2 Why do you keep paying out money for what is not bread, And why spend your earnings for what brings no satisfaction? Listen intently to me, and eat what is good, And you will find great delight in what is truly rich.” Yes, the words of God and His Son bring great satisfaction and happiness to those who truly listen and heed them. Joshuaz' (as 3 syllables, ending with short o sound, a more agreeable transliteration into English) also said “Pay attention to how you listen.” (LUKe 8:18). We need godly discernment to make good judgements as to what we choose to ponder, that may affect our heart and actions. Certainly, though, we can trust the words of God and Christ to be reliable and truly beneficial. Do you ponder these thoughts, or read the Bible merely for head knowledge? May we take the time to appreciate God’s word, consider how we should apply it, and why it is so beneficial and worthy of appreciation, as it leads to our genuine happiness.
"33 Listen to discipline and become wise, And never neglect it."
Pro08:33 The words of God and Christ offer fine discipline leading to true wisdom. Recall that this word “discipline” comes from the same root as “disciple”—meaning loving correction, as Joshuaz' aided his disciples. A child receiving such discipline should feel loved and appreciated, not dejected by constant punishment. May parents thus be proactive in lovingly helping and guiding their children, that they may be understanding what they need to do to make their parents, God and others happy. Proverbs 23:24 says “24 The father of an upright one will surely be joyful; Whoever fathers a wise son will rejoice in him.” Try not to discourage all the questions of a child—providing age-appropriate answers as parents are able. How fine that they may look to loving parents for the guidance they need!
"34 Happy is the man who listens to me By coming early to my doors day by day, By waiting next to my doorposts;"
Pro08:34 Some enjoy rising early to give consideration to God’s word and spiritual matters. Psalm 1:1-3 discusses the happiness found thereby: “1 Happy is the man who does not walk according to the advice of the crooked And does not stand on the path of sinners And does not sit in the seat of scoffers. 2 But his delight is in the lawl of Jehovoez, And he reads His lawl in an undertone day and night. 3 He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, A tree that produces fruit in its season, The foliage of which does not wither. And everything he does will succeed.” May we appreciate God’s instruction daily, especially the words of his Son that have explained God to us more clearly. (JOHn 1:18). We needn’t view God’s word as overwhelming. Recall, for example, that Joshuaz’z Sermon on the Mount is contained in just three chapters of Matthew, Matthew 5-7, and has been said to comprise nearly a quarter of all that God requires of true Christians. Add the Ten Commandments and the first 10 chapters of Proverbs for another sizable percentage of value.
"35 For the one finding me will find life, And he receives approval from Jehovoez. 36 But the one who ignores me harms himself, And those who hate me love death.””
Pro08:35-36 May people thus find Christ by being familiar with Joshuaz’z teachings and recognizing their value and application. Thus such may become true Christians, genuine followers, and find God’s approval. Joshuaz' always gave attention to his Father, honoring Him. This one has thus become “Lord to the glory of God the Father.” (PHiliP 2:11). While learning from the Son, it is ultimately God’s approval that he taught us to seek. Still, “...I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to Father except through me." (JOHn 14:6). All will therefore benefit greatly by persistently studying and applying these teachings. Ignoring such teachings brings harm to oneself, perhaps even leading one to actually love this one less, blocking the way to God and eternal life.

I apologize that I let the podcast this week take time away from posting like I would otherwise do. It is time as well for the new blogposts, moving into the 7th month of the 400-day, extending through the middle of the 8th month with this current format. Thus much will be retained, with the ongoing material continued into the new blogposts. If you wish, please use this time to review anything else you might benefit from, and there still is an additional article or two not on these pages that I plan to post soon to the new. I may post some of the podcast in text format later, perhaps the first episode for those interested in the week's theme and introduction. (d.632Fan, f715Tue 7:55; 8:09 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (4B) Psalm 119 Stanza 13. Also current podcast on Spotify, etc. is W59 w0865-69 Addressing Some Current Issues--How?

(d.628Wnd, f711Fri 10:41 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to PA (8-2) More Orderly Time article, paragraph just before Month 5, starting "NOW" about recommended adjustment to monthnames 2-4. (d.627Trs, 710Thu 6:58-7:01,19,41; 8:24 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I apologize for the delay, I expect to get back to my punctuality that I was known for, throughout my 2020 election year, for example, and afterward, with God's continued blessing! NOTE : As you may realize, I've continued this blogset based on the 400-day calendar (the true one, astronomically, meteorologically, scientifically, etc.), and hopefully which we will acknowledge here, as many localities and regions here in the United States were doing for much time last year! There was some confusion about the reality of this or the connections to my Come to Consensus article, referring to it as the 8-Day Calendar, having God's blessing on new sets of month- and daynames that carry real meaning into our lives, benefitting us more, and underscoring God's interest and love for us. I'm looking to post a few more articles, some Persistent Articles, which I think will replace the Persistent/Introductory Posts designation. Thus PA's will usually be articles that may benefit more people, or benefit people more, in some way, with God's blessing. The full 8-Day Calendar article, as a CTC article, is one I actually thought was posted already this blog cycle, but I wish to post soon today, although it is available on the last blog 3C/8C. I want to review before posting on 4C/8C, blogpost 3 (the C in 4C/8C). I may change referring to blogpost 3 to blogpost C. I may also update the wording of the Educational Note on blogpost 3/C. Update, but article still coming. Article is there, under PA's (Persistent Articles) on blogpost 3/C, as (8-2). There are still other articles I wish to include in the next few days...I've updated that article, month 1, and more updates are possible. (d.626Mnd, 709Wed 8:45-46 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well!

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.

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.

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

Now added Numbers 6-7 of The Ten Commandments. Now also Commandments 8-10! (25d.505 Hvn, f516 Fri 7:03,05,24,29,34,37; 8:11; 9:27 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted work from last evening (8B) WGA-B, B-304 post theme: Drive for Clean Energy Can Continue! on blogpost #3. Hoping to be writing again from the real START page, blogpost #1, soon! I'd like to also say, Let's thank God for blessing what we all can do regarding His will, for genuine peace--let's stand for what's true, with God's guidance and love! Some have been seeking their own glory rather than God's, and hurting others in the process, against God's will; May they humble themselves and be honest. We need divine wisdom and God's blessing on all we do! If time, planning to post (4B) Psalm 119 Part 2 of Review within the hour, Stanzas 7-8. Posted! Format update. (25d.504 Wdn, f515 Thu 9:41,50; 10:15-16,23-24,46 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've posted Part 1 of the (4) Psalm 119 Stanzas 5-8 Review (Stanzas 5-6), with two good stanza/themes. More of something to come...Posted as LATEST Psalm 119, and format updates. Also now, added (7) PR-B(11.1), Proverbs B, chapter 11 verses 1-5 on blogpost 3. Format change. (25d.502 Moo, f513 Tue 9:38,40-41 am; 9:55,58; 10:03-05,10-11; 11:01 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well, again from the Blogpost #2, not the normal messaging/notes post of the START page, blogpost 1. So much to be considering, knowing where I should be and still aiming to be, but also wanting to, within limits, address things this way, to share, offer insight, etc. Plan to make some progress on these posts today, while giving attention to the important things of our nation, etc. Several things came up, but I did review Commandment #4 of the Ten, which I've posted by itself, without numbers 5-7 yet. Looking for getting up the START page and/or more Golden Apples pieces and WGA posts on what's taking place, whether WGA-B or WGA-A (blogpost 1). Formatting update. Update, further. (25d.501 Son, f512 Mon 11:53 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Updated the Commandments 1-3 of the Ten, specifically #1. (25d.434Lun,f511Sun 10:27,38 am; 4:53; 5:41 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Again this is blogpost 2, not the normal start page, but more notesy for now until it's up! I've updated the Ps119, S08 post(s). Also, this ending of the 4th month of the 8-Day Calendar is the Hymneth long weekend, the days to include the 34th actually get switched up, so that the 30th is (Prz) Prayerzday, 31st (Hym) Hymneth, 32nd (Slt) Saltuday, 33rd (Fan) Fanday, and 34th (Lun) Lunaday. Again, the normal progression in a 33-day month is 30th Prz, 31st Slt, 32nd Fan, 33rd Lun. Now the first 3 of the Ten Commandments has been posted, looking to review before posting remainder. Update. (25d.433Fan,f510Sat 8:01; 9:01,44-45 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well again, on this page! Format basically complete for this Blogpost 2, with the Psalm 119 Stanza 8 A and B parts posted as latest segment 4B post and in the 4B list! The Memorial that many anointed ones haven't yet commemorated this year could take place this Monday evening/night (7-Day Cal.) one month following the normal one, after the example of Hezekiah's delayed Passover. Unleavened bread and red wine are symbolic of pure, genuine instruction and the ransom provision, with faith and associated joy of heart that comes with the aim of wisely keeping divine standards. Jehoshua/Jesus said 'until I drink it new with you..." Meetings that discuss the significance of this occasion and provide for both of these provisions figuratively are one way that the Passover statute in God's law that for Christians became the Memorial commemoration ('Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed') can continue to be appreciated and recognized.
Blogpost 3 (7-9) PR-B, CTC, GLH: EPH06P1: Format. Update. Also (9) GLH, Loyal Love article. Update. Added number (7) to CTC Foundational list (orig 5th article). Added (8B) WGA-B post B-304!

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

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.
