(y.725Rih, 810Sun 1:45; 2:31,40,44,54; 3:19; 11:19,44 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've wanted to remind how this week both calendars, old and new, line up between today through Saturday and Salvtuday. Most new daynames have similarity to 7-Day names, yet underscore a purpose for them by God. As regards a way to clarify which calendar is being referenced, there is preference to the y. designation, an early possibility, as the year is to the left of the decimal. Thus y25.725 indicates this day, 2025, the 7th month (Huli) and the 25th day (alternating Sunday, called Righzday, connected to making Rye or Croissant bread, which is naturally possible to make only on this day every two weeks, Rightdoing and the Sun of righteousness, like Sunday still the First day of the week, and Rizing as an early workweek makes possible the Four-Day weekend break to come afterward. So y25.725 is this day (8/10/25). In this first designation method, y25.725 the month is only one character, which is alphanumeric, with months 10, 11, and 12 being designated as capital A,B, and C. It can also be y25.7/25, which allows for the month to be two digits. Thus both y25.11/25 and y25.07/25 would be acceptable. It may be possible that difference could be recognized between 7(8/10/25) and 8(7/25/25), although in the second case the second number, day of the month, will need to be higher than 31. With the y25.725 designation, this could also be y.725 if the year is not necessary, or just 725 if it is something simple where the year doesn't matter, like the date on the lid of a newly opened carton of milk. Also, to keep track of both, sometimes I use y25.725 and add comma, f or p and 810 referring to the 7day calendar date. Also remember that a 3rd transition calendar would help all to relate closer 7-Day calendar dates to new 8-Day calendar dates, but this would call for referencing a 13th month, one week at a time between some months, but eventually also with more than 31 days, although this adjustment may not be needed THIS year for an accurate transition.

Recall the SUM More Orderly Time (Possible Months 7-8 Entry) article below, that discusses this time as an entry point to the new calendar, along with half or more of the world seeing God's gift. Again, this entire week lines up between both calendars, so appointments for next week could be discussed or adjusted, either on the same new dayname, the new monday date for the old monday date, or something else depending on the purpose of the meeting, etc. These appointments could be confirmed, if this changeover should take place. In many places last year, both calendars began to be acknowledged among people even here in the U.S., and some decisions were being based on the new calendar more than the old. There is one issue that hasn't been mentioned, and that's pay times as regards a changeover. Weekly pays could take place on a similar day of the week, although alternating between Starzday (first Friday) and Salvtuday (second Saturday), the second day of the normal four-day break, are recommended, the term Salary being originally based on use of Salt, associated with that day. Other reasons have been presented, and proper planning for this can overcome most if not all concern. The other issue is with Monthly payments. Of course many 7th month payments or early 8th month payments have already been made, but a two-week or 16-day difference between the calendars currently, or 18 days in about a week, could call for another payment with the beginning of a new 8th month. The half-month of time that would have passed by then could make possible a half-month's pay amount, then getting on track to a similar pay schedule based on the 8 day calendar. Alternatively, paydates could change on the new calendar from end or start of months to something mid-month, which would keep the money coming out about the same time as before through the changeover, without need for any additional payment.

The above information has now been inserted into the SUM More Orderly Months (Possible Months 7-8 Entry) article below. Also, a (8B) Weekly Golden Apples, WGA-B, (B-507) is now posted, on blogpost 3, Election Integrity 2024-2025. Another update to Finding Truth, par. 15. Correction. Update to WGA-B list.

(y.724Fwn, 809Sat 3:09 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I needed to update the article Finding Truth, having been one of my first articles years ago, and I didn't realize there were some statements I used in logic regarding the Trinity teaching that for quite some time I would have not been using, but I had forgotten it was used in this article, and would have been corrected so as not to give a wrong impression, having to do with understanding the term "world" in the Scriptures, which I do address in the more recent article "Finding More Truth". I have updated Finding Truth, and hope that if you questioned anything along those lines in that article, that you look over that portion of it.

 (d.710Mnd, f726Sat 1:26-27 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Update to blogpost 3, (Intro) Foundational articles.

 (d.709Rih,f725Fri 6:16,18,20,49-50,55,58; 7:02; 8:05; 9:58; 10:41,55,59 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Upcoming: To post the Review of Psalm 119 Stanzas 12-14, also aiming for other segment posts to further orient the latest blogpost pages. NOTE: Of course, my primary focus is on this nation and things related to my doing and being what God has prepared me to do, be, etc. As regards the 400-day calendar, now the 7-day is off about 16 days for the year, and I noticed that the 1st of August, being a Friday, could be an entry point, if it was accepted and organized properly. Recall that on the 8-Day Calendar, the days are consistent, such as the 1st through the 8th always being the associated days 1-8, beginning Sunday/Sonaday. Many companies could give workers off that day, Friday Aug. 1 (16th, Day 8 of 2nd week), with one more day off following, then it would be Sunday but essentially Monday/Moonday of the new calendar, the 18th of Month 7 Huli, for another 5 days work, unless the Sunday (8/3) was also given off, for a 4-day workweek, then still another 2 weekend days off (Fri-Sat), before the next early 5-day workweek (8/10-14 Sun-Thu, m.725-29 Rih-Thd, calendars lining up) would lead to the 4-day week-ending break (m.730-33). Thus technically Month 7 would be extended, while both calendars can be understood and acknowledged, going from the 7-Day to the 8-Day Calendar. That lined up workweek could allow for mutual planning of future weeks and appointments, to make adjustments (at first just a day or two difference, if at all). Most Mon-Thu appointments could remain Day 2-5 appointments as appropriate, with alternating Fridays/Day 6's being off. There are ways to pad the 7-day calendar to better line up with the 8-Day going forward, so the seasons do not continue to get off-kilter year after year from the 7-day, making a Transitional Calendar, which is excellent for planning and correlating dates, etc. to the new calendar. I urge many to think about how this transition would be implemented in what you or your team does, as over half the world knows that this is the true calendar, and has already transitioned to it, and even much of the United States was acknowledging it as the true calendar astronomically, scientifically, etc. for a considerable time last year. At least we might get the conversation going again, with God really having intervened to bring about this change--are some having difficulty realizing God's love for all? Thus again this time of consideration actually leads to a period of three weeks (!) where the two calendars nearly match up on the weekends, confirming this as an excellent time to look into transitioning, which again was being considered and in some practice at times previously here in the U.S., where the revealing of God's intervention and calendar originated. The third weekend mentioned has the 16th-17th of August aligning with Days 7-8 (31st-32nd) of the final weekend of Huli, Month 7. (As regards days 32-33 or 34 of months, new computer data fields have been created for the new calendar, different from what has been in place for the 7-day, to accommodate. Posted (4B) Psalm 119 Review Stanzas 12-14.

 (d.708Fwn, f724Thu 6:41,57 am; 6:53,55 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 5, verses 7-10, PR-A(5.2).

Then, Series Win-it Minute refers to my podcast series I began on Spotify, originally under a second podcast show called Find Life And See Earview Podcast, recently shortened to Find Life And See Podcast. The original series was/is my authored work set to podcast, to aid in the gaining of divine wisdom for better success in life, and spanned 9 months between mid-Feb 2022 to mid-Nov, receiving some radio coverage. Following this was WM season 2, and then Winit500, an expanded series for more in-depth coverage of broader issues, permitting 500 or more seconds total in usually 5 weekly episodes. This quickly became a Nationally Syndicated Broadcast. I would like to continue this as Winit5to9, with varying time allotment, planning even 500, 600, 700, 800, or 900 second total weekly topic coverage, depending on subject matter, etc. Planning the first episode multiplied by 5 to give the total for the week, i.e. 140 seconds resulting in a 700 second total, although each episode may vary some at about 10 second intervals. This likely on average every other week as a way to continue connecting with the public on important issues.

 Scroll down for (1B) Win-it Minute Series podcasts W5a w0830-34 and w0840-44, two important series podcasts from last season, Winit500.

This segment is meant to offer good and insightful translations of valuable, moving, and/or timely psalms and later also included the segment on timely or inspiring song selections.

This is a commentary on the beginning of this Bible book helping all to acquire the right kind of thinking so as to gain good judgement from God, and see things as they really should be seen or understood.

GOLDEN APPLES

AIM TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN TRUE LOYAL LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Love is loyal and kind. It is not jealous (from envy), it does not brag, it does not get puffed up (from pride), 5 does not behave indecently, does not look for it’s own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. 6 It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. 7 It bears all things, hopes all things, believes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails...”

Again, that’s from 1Corinthians 13:4-8, NWT.

HEALTH AND HYDRATION

Maintaining Body Hydration Levels for Improved Resistance

Short Sum:

Knowing the importance of hydration can help in the battle against disease. There is a real need for clean water in the right form for drinking, natural minerals included. Some factors, such as bicarbonate and good ozone can help greatly with water treatment. Still, staying hydrated each day requires balance, as in supplemental water, or some beverage concentrations.

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. However, still today we are finding conditions of lower electrolytes than ideal. While there are treatments to help preserve these, such as with certain foods easy on the stomach, i.e. bananas and whole wheat saltines or other crackers such as Lance brand, 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 electrolytes such as 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 some minerals may nevertheless speed up tumor growth. Stick with a low mineral source 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. 

HEALTHY FACTORS When present, bicarbonate benefits the body in numerous ways, has shown to help protect from cancer and other diseases, 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 practical gallon and half-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 or refill in store, reducing need for small bottle recycling? Still, addition of 1/32 to 1/16 tsp of baking soda (or 1/4 cup Artesian water) 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 Chlorella should at least assist with doing so. For better absorption a pair of such foods, Chlorella 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 or better assimilated with another source of ORGANIC sodium, such as a typical soy sauce. Of course, Kelp also provides an organic source of Iodine, still greatly missing from most diets, and iodized salt also promotes proper sodium assimilation and adds good iodine.

BALANCING 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 perhaps half the amount of the normal drink, but if combining, you then may wish adding some additional sugar, arcane (or new Splenda) 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 on alternating days. 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, a few minutes after. This can be a juice, tea, or like Gatorade, that you fortify with a few nutrients. 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, and 5-10 drops of Ionic minerals--the small amount you drink still being healthful. This you can add to water or juice, about 1/4 to 1/2 cup at a time, to help balance the body.

MORE ON HYDRATION A few other things to know can help. There is wisdom in knowing that a little pure wine 'for the stomach' can assist where contact with unsafe or polluted water may have occurred. Also, some things thought to make tea, such as many leaves including most fruit leaves and flower petals, are more correctly considered herbal waters, more hydrating. And, both seltzers and sparkling or tonic waters can extend sodas and alcoholic drinks, making them more refreshing and less concentrated. On this note, there is another combination that works to hydrate on multiple levels. Starting with about 1/4 of your glass a good Spring water, then add an Herbal “Tea” like Arizona’s RxStress, a Mint or an Orange Pekoe Tea, or an Iced Coffee (although another good Tea can still make a healthful drink), about 1/2 your glass additional, and finally, yes, an Orange Soda, the remainder, as good carbonated water addresses another type of body hydration. This drink can increase overall body hydration levels considerably.

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.

NEW 8 DAY CALENDAR, INTRODUCTION

INTRO TO: MORE ORDERLY TIME, MONTH & WEEKDAY NAMES--A SEGMENT (8) CTC CORNER ARTICLE: 

The highlighted article named 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 restore 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 Sonaday and Righday, 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. Weekends will thus always correspond nearly to either New Moon, First Half Moon, Full Moon, or Second Half Moon. The result is an extension of quarters to be approximately 100 days each through the year (with similar total workdays per 400 day year), and giving us 12x4 weeks of usually 8 days, totaling 48 weeks, which can be fairly correlated from schedules based on the previous calendar, with now 12 weeks per quarter rather than 13. Having previously recommended a weeklong break when going from one season to the next, called Humaneth, this is still maintained in the new 8-day calendar with 6-8 day stretches ending the last week of certain months, and this can likewise improve correlating from the 7-day to the 8-day calendar. With actual weather cycles, etc. reflecting now the 400-day year, and since 365 plus 35 equals 400, then adding (5) 7-day stretches to the former calendar can help maintain the correlation, best at end of February, April, June, September, and November. In all these cases but June, the 8-day Calendar now has the corresponding months ending with two extra weekend days during a longer break, allowing for a string of 6 or more days off. One purpose being increased refreshment by God, the typical workweek is still to be 5 days, but now realizing God's purpose of alternating a 2-day and 4- or 5-day weekend. The article offers some detail on the purpose and benefit of this new arrangement by God, with Monthnames and Daynames recognizing purpose to the days(!), 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 2025 Blogpost 3, Persistent Posts Segment (8A) Come to Consensus Corner (CTC) article, More Orderly Time, New Month and Daynames.

TRANSITION ACTIVITY ISSUE: To adopt the new calendar, acknowledging God's gift, we must reasonably deal with the issue of planned activites, both weekday business appointments, etc., and the weekends, including Sports contests, social events, and the like. As regards the 400-day calendar, now the 7-day is off about 16 days for the year, and I noticed that the 1st of August, being a Friday, could be an entry point, if it was accepted and organized properly. Recall that on the 8-Day Calendar, the days are consistent, such as the 1st through the 8th always being the associated days 1-8, beginning Sunday/Sonaday. Many companies could give workers off that day, Friday Aug. 1 (16th, Day 8 of 2nd week), with one more day off following, then it would be Sunday but essentially Monday/Moonday of the new calendar, the 18th of Month 7 Huli, for another 5 days work, unless the Sunday (8/3) was also given off, for a 4-day workweek, then still another 2 weekend days off (Fri-Sat), before the next early 5-day workweek (8/10-14 Sun-Thu, y.725-29 Rih-Thd, calendars lining up) would lead to the 4-day week-ending break (y.730-33). Thus technically Month 7 would be extended, while both calendars can be understood and acknowledged, going from the 7-Day to the 8-Day Calendar. That lined up workweek could allow for mutual planning of future weeks and appointments, to make adjustments (at first just a day or two difference, if at all). Most Mon-Thu appointments could remain Day 2-5 appointments as appropriate, with alternating Fridays/Day 6's being off. 

There are ways to pad the 7-day calendar to better line up with the 8-Day going forward, so the seasons do not continue to get off-kilter year after year from the 7-day, making a Transitional Calendar, which is excellent for planning and correlating dates, etc. to the new calendar. To get things back on track, we'll need to add what's been called Humaneth weeks to the end of the 7-Day Transitional Calendar Months of Aug, Sep, Oct, and Nov, although these will still be workweeks on the 8-Day, but some of these months will have the extra-long weekends now called Himneth. I urge many to think about how this transition would be implemented in what you or your team does, as over half the world knows that this is the true calendar, and has already transitioned to it, and even much of the United States was acknowledging it as the true calendar astronomically, scientifically, etc. for a considerable time last year. At least we might get the conversation going again, with God really having intervened to bring about this change--are some having difficulty realizing God's love for all? Thus again this time of consideration actually leads to a period of three weeks (!) where the two calendars nearly match up on the weekends, confirming this as an excellent time to look into transitioning, which again was being considered and in some practice at times previously here in the U.S., where the revealing of God's intervention and calendar originated. The third weekend mentioned has the 16th-17th of August aligning with Days 7-8 (31st-32nd) of the final weekend of Huli, Month 7. (As regards days 32-33 or 34 of months, new computer data fields have been created for the new calendar, different from what has been in place for the 7-day, to accommodate. Thus a reference chart comparing calendar dates between the former and new calendars can be very handy for event moves, etc. Also keeping in mind the extra day 8, at least some events that may not easily move to the new Sat/Sun could be scheduled for that day, between the two. Again the new Saturday Day 7 is called, alternating, Calmday and Salvtuday, Day 8 alternating Fawnday and Fanday, and Sunday, Day 1 of each week, alternating Sonaday and Righzday.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. Most new daynames have similarity to 7-Day names, yet underscore a purpose for them by God. As regards a way to clarify which calendar is being referenced, there is preference to the y. designation, an early possibility, as the year is to the left of the decimal. Thus y25.725 indicates this day, 2025, the 7th month (Huli) and the 25th day (alternating Sunday, called Righzday, connected to making Rye or Croissant bread, which is naturally possible to make only on this day every two weeks, Rightdoing and the Sun of righteousness, like Sunday still the First day of the week, and Rizing as an early workweek makes possible the Four-Day weekend break to come afterward. So y25.725 is this day (8/10/25). In this first designation method, y25.725 the month is only one character, which is alphanumeric, with months 10, 11, and 12 being designated as capital A,B, and C. It can also be y25.7/25, which allows for the month to be two digits. Thus both y25.11/25 and y25.07/25 would be acceptable. It may be possible that difference could be recognized between 7(8/10/25) and 8(7/25/25), although in the second case the second number, day of the month, will need to be higher than 31. With the y25.725 designation, this could also be y.725 if the year is not necessary, or just 725 if it is something simple where the year doesn't matter, like the date on the lid of a newly opened carton of milk. Also, to keep track of both, sometimes I use y25.725 and add comma, f or p and 810 referring to the 7day calendar date. Also remember that a 3rd transition calendar would help all to relate closer 7-Day calendar dates to new 8-Day calendar dates, but this would call for referencing a 13th month, one week at a time between some months, but eventually also with more than 31 days, although this adjustment may not be needed THIS year for an accurate transition..

MONTHS 7/8 Recall this article discussing this time as an entry point to the new calendar, along with half or more of the world seeing God's gift. Again, this entire week lines up between both calendars, so appointments for next week could be discussed or adjusted, either on the same new dayname, the new monday date for the old monday date, or something else depending on the purpose of the meeting, etc. These appointments could be confirmed, if this changeover should take place, and this week could cap with a five-day month-ending long weekend. In many places last year, both calendars began to be acknowledged among people even here in the U.S., and some decisions were being based on the new calendar more than the old. There is one issue that hasn't been mentioned, and that's pay times as regards a changeover. Weekly pays could take place on a similar day of the week, although alternating between Starzday (first Friday) and Salvtuday (second Saturday), the second day of the normal four-day break, are recommended, the term Salary being originally based on use of Salt, associated with that day. Other reasons have been presented, and proper planning for this can overcome most if not all concern. The other issue is with Monthly payments. Of course many 7th month payments or early 8th month payments have already been made, but a two-week or 16-day difference between the calendars currently, or 18 days in about a week, could call for another payment with the beginning of a new 8th month. The half-month of time that would have passed by then could make possible a half-month's pay amount, then getting on track to a similar pay schedule based on the 8 day calendar. Alternatively, paydates could change on the new calendar from end or start of months to something mid-month, which would keep the money coming out about the same time as before through the changeover, without need for any additional payment.

2/3 AND 4/5. One more possibility as regards the alternating weeks and weekends on the 8-Day: Normally we've presented the second Sunday in the two-week rotation, or Righzday, as the start of an early 5-day workweek, making possible a four-day weekend to follow. This means that the first and third weekends of the month are normally two days long, as they have been on the 7-Day calendar. And this is a fine plan, with weekend activities that have been taking place on that Sunday able to use the Day 8, or Fawnday for that purpose, recalling that the 7th day is really the day God purposed for rest activities. Now with the kind of quality of work ideas that have begun helping many people have a better view of their jobs and job satisfaction, this is important to consider and maintain. Still, perhaps some companies in special circumstances could also consider, depending on their output, profitability, and ownership, to drop that Sunday or Righzday as a workday, turning the two-day weekend into 3 days, with a four-day workweek to follow, meaning 9 workdays per two-week rotation instead of 10. How fine if companies were profitable in either case! Yet this may be best just for some companies depending on their situation, and with the current squeezing of the economy with excess tariffs and other factors this may not even be feasible for some time.

R03.210, UPDATED

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

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

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

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

ALSO, If corrections are not made, and such a fire begins, it usually is sourced INSIDE THE WALL. Therefore, using some of the fire extinguisher/etc. may buy time but MAY NOT COMPLETELY HALT THE FIRE, UNLESS you can SWITCH OFF THE POWER STRIP AND/OR OTHER DEVICE, OR use a thick glove or something to unplug the devices, which may be very hot, and then if necessary a sledgehammer or something similar is used to get behind the wall to reach the source of the flame! Aside from applying what you now know, real solutions have been found for this situation, for both temporary and permanent corrections, in cooperation with well-respected partners, as I'll soon update in a related CTC Corner article.

Names of God and Christ, Clarified

For some time there has been an issue regarding the true names of both God and His firstborn Son, as Christ and a model, commonly known as JEHOVAH and JESUS. In some circles, JEHOVOE had become familiar, along with other forms. By meaning it was becoming clearer that the there was a discrepancy in relating the true meaning of God's name with the most prominent name, especially it’s ending. The ending ‘VAH’ really didn’t seem to have much meaning lingually, but may have indicated the original name’s plural form. Yet is was understood that God’s name was to have the complete meaning ‘He who causes to become, and possibly also to grow and increase’. Initially I had discovered the connection between 'oe' and the association with the understood meaning of God's sacred name, and found that the name Joe (or Joez) which is shown to be the actual shortened form of God's name in verse (rather than Jah), accordingly has the meaning 'God Increases'.

JEHOVAHZ There would be more to the story, however, just as God through His Son often leads the way. As it turns out, the 'ho' in the middle of God's name can account for the shortened 'Joe' or actually 'Joez', referring to growth and increase. Thus, instead of the ending 'voe', the next thing discovered related to God’s use of the first and last letters of the alphabet to indicate His being and accomplishing from start to finish, as mentioned in Revelation: ‘the first and the last’, 'the beginning and the end', and instead of Greek ‘the alpha and the omega’ it can be in English 'the A and the Z'. Also the significance of the letter ‘H’, most evident in the form of the capital letter, as a TRANSITION, from ONE thing to ANOTHER. Notice the two vertical lines, with a horizontal connecting one. Thus by adding the ‘Z’ to God’s name, which Name is actually understood in original Bible languages to be in the plural form, we can begin to see the meaning of God’s name as JEHOVAHZ! We have the ‘J’ and ‘O’ which is the basis for the shortened form of JOE(Z), meaning ‘GOD Becomes/Grows/Increases’, and the Ending as ‘the A and the Z’, and power to transition or accomplish from the start to finish, whatever is His Will, JEHOVAHZ, and JOEZ JEHOVAHZ! This would include the fulfillment of solemn promises or vows/valz, and you may have heard the name ‘Jehovalz’ which references this, so where did this come from, and how does this aspect of who God is relate to His overall being? 

HEBREW 'ONE' Another significant matter that not all realize is that the Scriptures indicate other Gods near Jehovah or Jehovahz with rare places in verse of changes to the Tetragrammaton of God's name, indicating others, alerting to their Godship and presence together, Jolove promoting the spirit and God’s overriding motive, and Joldove as Creator, and in 3 of the 4 places God's name appears in the KJV, except Psalm 83:18 which is JEHOVAH(Z), but could also have been JEHOVAllZ or JEHOVALLZ to indicate primacy, in the other places ‘Jehovalz’ is actually the name as Promise-Maker and Promise-Keeper. So the few times the Tetragrammaton of God’s name differed from the usual became the basis for only translating the name in a few places as in the King James Version. Hence a reason for the misunderstanding between JEHOVAHZ and Jehovalz. Yet, as has been long pointed out, God’s name actually appears over 7,000 times throughout the Bible, yet God’s name, while often being translated as ‘LORD’ (all caps) to differentiate from ‘lord’ or ‘Lord’ (usually, God’s Son), can and does have a connection to the role His firstborn Son above has as representing Him. So JEHOVAHZ together comprise the cardinal attributes as God, and a threesome, but NOT as the 'Trinity' in recent decades came to be known to include Jesus and the Holy ghost or spirit. The term however has been actually used in history in the correct way, with the correct understanding, and is recommended not to be refused entirely, with all three together as JEHOVAHZ. Helping to explain is the fact that in Hebrew the term for 'one' does actually mean 'three in one', or 'three as one' (and could actually be translated this way, correctly a life-standard) such as when a man and woman marry individually, they along with God become three in one, as Solomon wrote that 'a three-stranded cord (or rope)' is not easily torn apart. Thus these Gods are all three actually represented by this one JEHOVAHZ, as we serve/worship Him as One. And again, while GOD is a Promise-Keeper, and HIS vows/valz and His will should always take precedence, it is not just this but HIS Great Power to Accomplish His Will in Many Ways that makes Him who He Is, JEHOVAHZ.

HEBREW NAME OF CHRIST TRANSLATED, JEHOSHUA (HEBREW), JESUS, JOSHUA, JOSHALZ. Also of keen interest was and is the true name of God's Son Jesus. I discovered that chosen long ago in English was the name Joshua as closer in meaning to 'Jehovahz is Salvation', the correct meaning of his Hebrew name, often thought of as Yehoshua or Jehoshua (Hebrew language pronunciation), whereas the name 'Jesus' had been evidently given him by Caesar, and not by God, the Greek name meaning 'He makes wet', albeit, it is believed, to have been respectfully given, and should of course continue to be respected. However, close English names translated from the Hebrew, include Joshua, considered for some time as the proper English name, but more recently an even better English translation Joshalz, with Jehosha in language now understood to be lacking the plural. However, Joshalz is acceptable because the meanings of syllable letters especially in the English language can sometimes legitimately shorten 3 syllable names into 2. 

As before, the last 'L' is important in the transition between 'A and Z', with ‘L’ indicating such things as Law and Love, and as God's Son is also referred to in Revelation, ‘the first and the last’, 'the beginning and the end' (or 'the start and the finish'), and as with His Father, ‘the A and the Z’. Also, not all realize that Matthew's original gospel was written in Hebrew, and he later translated to Greek, leaving the Hebrew name of Christ as a Pentagrammaton, similar to God's name but 5 letters, although again Joshalz the most correct English form, although pronouncing a long ‘o’ could show preferable pronunciation like God's short name, being well-received, although pronounced short ‘o’ is also considered acceptable. Of interest too is the beginning of Christ’s Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapter 5, where the reference to 9 happinesses or beatitudes can be translated like the first one: Happy are those conscious of the need of their spirit, since the Kingdom of the Heavens “shall” belong to them. Then also “All things are (or shall be) ‘Yes’ by means of him,” Christ, although this one draws attention to God Himself as the One ultimately fulfilling His promises, whose will is to be accomplished. Joshua is still noted as an acceptable English translation having been accepted so in times past. 

REPRESENTING GOD. It should be noted that the name that the disciples and fellow Hebrews used represented by the Pentagrammaton evidently did find it's usage in Greek speaking and language, with similar meaning as the English translations, while the name Jesus was evidently not used in ancient writings until later times. One other important note regarding God's Son, representing God, or AzGod, as is a correct translation of John 1:1 ‘the word was As God, or AZGod’. The Tetragrammaton of God's name is JEHOVAHZ with plural markings now more understood, and this Name, referencing AZGOD, refers to God, but the Son of God can represent Him, AZGod with v.18 also calling him a 'God', or 'Mighty One'. Both are called in Revelation ‘the A and the Z’, with GOD’s Firstborn Son above able to accomplish God’s will in God’s power, in the way that verse mentions, having come 'in God's name'. Thus Christian fulfillment can be emphasized, throughout God's word, even as that name again refers to the Almighty. The name as ‘Jehovalz’ can also indicate this. As regards the name with ‘L’, it is a long-standing principle of language that the ‘L’, actually meant to be a single line marking ‘l’ (while capital ‘i’s were meant to be three marks or lines, not one), as one letter could indicate one or two marks or Ls, with dual meaning, and could also be written as two letters, which would then carry only that meaning, 'All' or 'Fully'.

TRANSLATORS. Likely now these forms of the names of God and Christ, can be carefully considered as worthy of inclusion in exceptional translations of God's word, in places where warranted, where their original appearance is determined to be genuine. 

3 PARTY PROPOSAL

Due to recent surging and proven interest in Independent or Harmonley party concepts and the concept itself of having 3 parties represented in Congress, to make possible greater consideration and passage of proper bills to benefit the United States of America, I as Mark Campbell/Michael Camelangemy do make the following proposal:

It is understood that there are some members of the Republican and Democratic parties, who have gone public in support of the aforementioned Independent or Harmonley party general points, or the formation of the Harmonley party itself, being acknowledged for promotion of national and international stability, and adherence to Constitutional provisions, as explained on my website http(s)://www.findlifeandsee.com and on http(s)://www.findlife.com 

who are among many realizing the benefits that could accrue from either having Harmonley supporters or party members among the members of Congress, particularly noteworthy in the Senate, where the U.S. Constitution in print, but not the founding bylaws of the United States, makes mention of two senators being selected to represent each state in the Senate. The number of Senators for the states has made State decisions as representing each state challenging, as too often there may be a split among the two members. Many others agreed that there is something wrong with the number being 2, and at least a few that it was quite possible that the original number for Senators from each state was actually 3, this normally making it impossible for split decisions among state Senators, and allowing for more productive activity among these highly respected members of Congress. More evidence for this conclusion is in the aims of the Founders, that many Senate decisions be based on the decisions of States and not just the individual members. In such case, how could they possibly have set it up with just 2 Senators per state? There has been word that an Original Constitution on display has been found to indicate "3" Senators being elected for each state rather than 2! 

It is also of note that states being fully represented as either Republican or Democrat do usually nevertheless have many citizens ascribing to the other party, and therefore without much representation in that way in Congress. Also, many party members have begun changing somewhat, coming closer together in thinking so that the traditional divide is not as it once was. Therefore one possible approach being here recommended for consideration is, for the purpose of rectifying a system in Congress that has not been working as it was intended to work, due to the long-time establishment of a largely two-party arrangement, although a third party has long been permitted yet little utilized, that fresh perspectives be generated as to the meaning and intent of each party, all respectful of the Creator God, mentioned by the Founders, with a possible inclusion of a new Independent party named "Harmonley" with it's emphasis on respect among all 3 parties and additional divinely-inspired principles assisting all to prove successful in passing beneficial legislation for the Nation and-or beyond. In this light, there could be much support for a state ending up with a Senator representing each party being chosen/elected, and now recommending that one for each be elected, adding stability to this 3 party proposal, as there may likewise be three sorts of men, heeding God, a reason for such an almost equal divide in politics traditionally among 2 parties. The U.S. Constitution was established when there were yet no separate party groups, and the difficulties inherent in a two-party system within the framework of the Constitution were not anticipated. As for debate regarding a fourth party, much can be said further in defense of 3; Even the Bible's use of "one" from Hebrew actually means "three in one" or "three as one", and can be applied figuratively, 'in agreement'.

Also, the preamble to the U.S. Constitution additionally serves as a basis for this proposal, as it outlines the purpose of the Constitution itself, among other things to 'establish Justice', 'insure domestic Tranquility', and 'promote the general welfare' which we realize was intended to be accomplished more successfully with application of divinely-inspired wisdom. An amendment is being proposed, backed by many Senate members, to allow for a third member choice for further representation by each state of the Union, an official amendment to the U.S. Constitution as being permissible by the Constitution itself in very special circumstances such as this, the recommendation involving the voting selection by the public of one candidate for the Senate from among the 3 different parties, as has traditionally been possible, though not as commonly known or understood, to fill the now the proposed 3 seats, rather than the 2 seat​s, and with a 2 out of 3 vote understood to be permissibly affirmative among the 3, acknowledging though the preference of unanimity, in the Senate, and for the House, to fill the appropriate number by state. In fact, I only propose this with an official understanding that by doing so I am not in violation of my duty as rightful President of the United States, having given affirmation of this duty to 'preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.' I thus stand by my confidence that the proposal as presented below is in agreement with a President's affirmation of duty and authority, and the U.S. Constitution itself. It is also of note that there is mention in the Constitution of the need for a 2/3 majority among the states regarding special votes, sensible with 3 state seats, but again with only 2 seats, a state may have no vote if divided.

Regarding this proposal, then, an individual from among 3 parties may be voted for and lawfully elected by the public, you needn't belong to the same party to believe a particular candidate is best suited for that upcoming election term. This is in the belief that all three parties, Republican, Democratic, and Harmonley, can have aligned important priorities and objectives that all agree with the Founders intent respecting God and regarding good government, the genuine Republic that the U.S. Constitution and other founding inspired documents advance as the most capable to meet pressing needs. It is also being recommended for future election procedure, that up to a total of 3 candidates running for U.S. President be chosen if a lawful party governing body exists, in harmony with lawful public primaries/preference, to continue as candidates leading to each election year's general election, thus up to 9 candidates, or again 3 per post or party, for the selection of a U.S. President, as well as perhaps the 3 posts being elected to represent the Senate for each state, and the appropriate number of seats per state for the House. It is also being strongly recommended that each individual indicate or vote for just one candidate, the one that they most prefer, for each of the three posts. In the House, it may be that the total number of members may be representative of the balance of votes among the three parties, there being a mix, which should continue to take place as the top voted candidates are elected, according to the number for each state. 

It should also be understood that highly recommended is the practice of elected members of Congress in their duty upon election, voting on bills or other legislative action according to their individual consciences before God and as members of their party, in most if not all instances, rather than being demanded to vote along party lines, which is in no way recommended in or by the U.S. Constitution. Strong assertions could be made by a party to indicate why they wish members to vote a certain way on an issue, but then each one answers ultimately to God for the vote that may have important implications for the nation as a whole, the state they represent, and many citizens throughout. This works when such ones relate to the Creator God (as referred to in both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, among other founding documents), and gain good judgement, are well-rounded, able to get along with and discuss matters and debate with other members of Congress, and arrive at conclusions founded on truth, understanding, and good virtue, in agreement with divine law(l) and the best interests of all. This proposition acknowledges the stifling of good initiatives that has concerned many in the current arrangement, and that this adjustment, this amendment to the U.S. Constitution will serve to bring greater honor to the purpose of the Constitution itself, to demonstrate the greater effectiveness worthy of such an inspiring document and institution as the United States, whose foundings were blessed by God, were and are indeed intended to obtain and maintain, in the furthering or accomplishment of the better and more perfect Union that the Founders sought to establish.

FOUR PARTY (3-4) PROPOSAL

(1) Due to recent surging and proven interest in Independent or Harmonley party concepts and the concept itself of having more than 2 parties represented in Congress, to make possible greater consideration and passage of proper bills to benefit the United States of America, I as Mark Campbell/Michael Camelangemy do make the following proposal:

(2) It is understood that there are some members of the Republican and Democratic parties, who have gone public in support of the aforementioned Independent or Harmonley party general points, or the formation of the Harmonley party itself, being acknowledged for promotion of national and international stability, and adherence to Constitutional provisions, as explained on my website http(s)://www.findlifeandsee.com and on http(s)://www.findlife.com 

who are among many realizing the benefits that could accrue from either having Harmonley supporters or party members among the members of Congress, particularly noteworthy in the Senate, where recent versions of the U.S. Constitution in print, but not the founding bylaws of the United States, make mention of the number of senators being selected to represent each state in the Senate as two. This number of Senators for the states has made State decisions as representing each state challenging, as too often there may be a split among the two members. 

(3) Many others agreed that there is something wrong with the number being 2, and at least a few that it was quite possible that the original number for Senators from each state was actually 3, this normally making it impossible for split decisions among state Senators, and allowing for more productive activity among these highly respected members of Congress. More evidence for this conclusion is in the aims of the Founders, that many Senate decisions be based on the decisions of States and not just the individual members. In such case, and with all the care that we know wisely went into matters of government such as this, how could they possibly have set it up with just 2 Senators per state? There has been word that an Original Constitution on display has been found to indicate "3" Senators being elected for each state rather than “2”! 

(4) It is also of note that states being fully represented as either Republican or Democrat do usually nevertheless have many citizens ascribing to the other party, and therefore without as much representation in that way in Congress. Also, many party members have begun changing somewhat, coming closer together in thinking so that the traditional divide is not as it once was. Therefore one possible approach being here recommended for consideration is, for the purpose of rectifying a system in Congress that has not been working as it was intended to work, due to the long-time establishment of a largely two-party arrangement, although a third party has long been permitted yet little utilized, that fresh perspectives be generated as to the meaning and intent of each party, all respectful of the Creator God, mentioned by the Founders, with a possible inclusion of a new Independent party named "Harmonley" with it's emphasis on respect among all 3 parties and additional divinely-inspired principles assisting all to prove successful in passing beneficial legislation for the Nation and-or beyond. In further reflection upon the natural God-given differences, not false but true and cooperative, we’ve come to understand among people, it could very well be that one more party would be most appropriate, to make four, just as 12 common groupings respecting God have been combined into groups of threes, making four common groups altogether. 

(5) In this light, there could be much support for a state ending up with Senators representing three of the four parties often being chosen/elected, depending on support for each within that state, adding stability to this 3 or 4 party proposal, again as there may likewise be relatively four combined sorts of men, from twelve groups altogether, heeding God, a reason for such an almost equal divide sometimes in politics traditionally with just the 2 parties. The U.S. Constitution was established when there were yet no separate party groups, and the difficulties inherent in a two-party system within the framework of the Constitution were not anticipated. Now this notion regarding a fourth party can be understood from the standpoint of four groups of three’s. This is noteworthy since the Bible's use of "one" from Hebrew actually means "three in one" or "three as one", and can be applied figuratively, 'in agreement'. Thus a piece of legislation that should reasonably be passed might not have the difficulty it would have had previously, while concern should be that majorities of all parties find agreement.

(6) Also, the preamble to the U.S. Constitution additionally serves as a basis for this proposal, as it outlines the purpose of the Constitution itself, among other things to 'establish Justice', 'insure domestic Tranquility', and 'promote the general welfare' which we realize was intended to be accomplished more successfully with application of divinely-inspired wisdom. An amendment is being proposed, backed by many Senate members, to allow for a third member choice for further representation by each state of the Union, an official amendment to the U.S. Constitution as being permissible by the Constitution itself in very special circumstances such as this, the recommendation involving the voting selection by the public of one candidate for the Senate from among the now four(4) different parties, as has traditionally been possible, though not as commonly known or understood, to fill the now proposed three(3) seats [not four(4)], rather than the two(2) seat​s, and with a 2 out of 3 vote understood to be permissibly affirmative among the 3, acknowledging though the preference of unanimity, in the Senate, and for the House, to fill the appropriate number by state. In fact, I only propose this with an official understanding that by doing so I am not in violation of my duty as rightful President of the United States, having given affirmation of this duty to 'preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.' I thus stand by my confidence that the proposal as presented below is in agreement with a President's affirmation of duty and authority, and the U.S. Constitution itself, along with evidence that the original Constitution likely contained the number three(3) and not two(2). It is also of note that there is mention in the Constitution of the need for a 2/3 majority among the states regarding special votes, sensible with three(3) state seats, but again with only two(2) seats, a state may have no vote if divided among them.

(7) Regarding this proposal, then, an individual from among four(4) parties may be voted for and lawfully elected by the public, you needn't belong to the same party to believe a particular candidate is best suited for that upcoming election term. This is in the belief that all four parties, Republican, Democratic, Harmonley, and one other, can have aligned important priorities and objectives that all agree with the Founders intent respecting God and regarding good government, the genuine Republic that the U.S. Constitution and other founding inspired documents advance as the most capable to meet pressing needs. If it seems that Republicans have been somewhat divided and Democrats have been somewhat divided, it may be that Harmonley supporters among Republicans and Harmonley supporters among Democrats could largely produce the two additional parties, with just the need to clearly articulate or define the God-given and cooperative differences among them that do not interfere with finding agreement on good legislation for the American people and beyond. Just as the addition of a third party was seen as making possible greater accomplishment, so the fourth party, situated properly, could contribute to greater clarity on issues and improvement in passage of good legislation. 

(8) As regards a U.S. President, with this understanding, we would hope in one that seeks to bring parties together in cooperation, upholding the unity of the United States. It is thus being recommended for future election procedure, that eventually up to a total of 3 candidates running for U.S. President be determined per party, in harmony with lawful public voting primaries/preference, as more prominent candidates leading to each election year's general election, thus up to 12 candidates, or again 3 per party, which could reveal one each and then one for the selection of a U.S. President, as well as perhaps the 3 posts being elected to represent the Senate for each state, and the appropriate number of seats per state for the House. It is also being strongly recommended that each individual indicate or vote for just one candidate, the one that they most prefer, for each of the three posts. In the House, it may be that the total number of members may be representative of the balance of votes among the four parties, there being a mix, which should continue to take place as the top voted candidates are elected, according to the number for each state. 

(9) It should also be understood that highly recommended is the practice of elected members of Congress in their duty upon election, regarding bills or other legislative action, voting according to their individual consciences before God and as members of their party, in most if not all instances, rather than being demanded to vote along party lines, which is in no way recommended in or by the U.S. Constitution. Strong assertions could be made by a party to indicate why they wish members to vote a certain way on an issue, but then each one answers ultimately to God and to the American people for the vote that may have important implications for the nation as a whole and the world, the state they represent, and many citizens throughout. This works when such ones relate to the Creator God (as referred to in both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, among other founding documents), and gain good judgement, are well-rounded, able to get along with and discuss matters and debate with other members of Congress, and arrive at conclusions founded on truth, understanding, and good virtue, in agreement with divine law(l) and the best interests of all. This proposition acknowledges the stifling of good initiatives that has concerned many in the current arrangement, and that this adjustment, this amendment to the U.S. Constitution will serve to bring greater honor to the purpose of the Constitution itself, to demonstrate the greater effectiveness worthy of such an inspiring document and institution as the United States, whose foundings were blessed by God, were and are indeed intended to obtain and maintain, in the furthering or accomplishment of the better and more perfect Union that the Founders sought to establish.

GOLDEN APPLES

Theme: ORDER OF CHRISTIAN LETTERS INSPIRED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD

Some have heard that there is significance to my birth name, possibly that I have been looking forward to revealing. I have explained, and history bears out, that the founders of our nation, the framers of our Constitution, had relied on God for victory and freedom, with largely Christian faith, and thereafter sought His guidance in establishing good government. All of the original States' Constitutions were based on some branch of Christianity, even one called 'Congregationalist', having ties to modern 'Nondenominational' or 'Church of the Bretheren', open to all wishing to benefit from Bible teachings peaceably, although more or less the aim of all branches of Christianity. A considerable time ago I was told that my birth name, Mark Allen Campbell, is found in the Bible. It is in one of the books, the letters a certain way in the Hebrew/Old Testament, that were translated faithfully in the same way in the King James Version (KJV) so that it likewise appears that way in that English translation. However, it is also there another way. My father above revealed to me that it also actually spells out by first letters the names of the genuine New Testament or Christian-Greek Scriptures Bible books in chronological order, the order by time that they were originally written. However, another name is included...it is the name of a woman that I found out shared much history with me as a wife in past lives, in this life first named Tari, once named Mary, who this life of mine began helping to raise me. For a time I used a computer owned by her to author many of my website articles, causing some confusion. One internet reference is sacred-texts.com/bib/lbob/index.htm , which you may find searching 'lost books of the Bible'. Another, searching 'lost books of the nt' (new testament) revealed 

http:// ia804602.us.archive.org/15/items/apocryphal-gospels-bart-ehrman/Lost%20Scriptures%20%28Bart%20D%20Ehrman%29.pdf

One more 1926 book on the subject: http:// dn720005.ca.archive.org/0/items/lostbooksofbible00unse_0/lostbooksofbible00unse_0.pdf

 It is as follows--with a few general rules:

(1) Each letter usually represents one book, but can stand for more than one, if so then three.

(2) The 'H' isn't necessarily pronounced.

(3) And 'L' can be 'LL' but still as one book.

(4) A few books previously included are beneficial books to consider but were not intended to be included in the Stabilizing Inspired Faithful Writings as vital for the establishment of our faith in God through Christ. In fact, some controversies (which however can still be understood and resolved) have originated in those additional books/letters rather than the ones meant for inclusion in God's inspired written word.

(5) Having come to know of the name Joshua even regarding Christ in past U.S. history, I did look for the inclusion of the 'U' { as Usebius (Eusebius) } as it turns out the letter was originally with a 'U', as Usebius, before Eusebius became common. Thus Joshua, Jo'shua and Jo'shual(z) looks to still be the more correct English name and pronunciation. Recall that Revelation points to both God and Christ as the ‘First and the Last’ and the ‘Alpha and the Omega’, or in English, the ‘A and the Z’. Their original language names are actually plural. Recall perhaps that the shortened form of God's name, rather than Jah, can be Joez, as in Joez Jeho'vah(z), with the name Joe(z) meaning 'God increases'. Thus, Jo'shua/Jo'shual(z) is indicative of God's accomplishing His will through the Christ, as "all things are Yes by means of him".

Here they are:

Mark + (This history of Christ is short by comparison but impactful and instructive)

Mary + (This is a history of Mary's immediate family and her life until her marriage and the virgin birth.)

Matthew (Mark's brief history was utilized by Matthew, recounting several experiences)

Andrew, a History/Gospel of another Apostle

Romans

K/Corinthians 1 (&2?) 1st letter, there is evidence that the 2nd was produced much later, likely "as if" Paul had written it, and then somehow added to the collection with the assumption that it had been in "Lost and Found".

I now have reason to believe some additional letterz are indeed found here, spelling out Jesus's true name, now understood as JOSHUALZ, which do include James and Hebrews as early works, evidently between Paul's original letter to Corinth and the completion of the record of Acts of Apostles. The 'E' below would be something else instead of Hebrews.

He eventually did choose discipleship. Sometimes churches changed a person's name after his/her death, but the 'N' indicates a singleness of choice, which detracts from the important lesson from the inspired record or word of God of developing stronger faith, pleasing God to know better how to treat other people and handle situations in a Christian or godly wise manner.)

PSALM SELECT

PSALM 1, NWT

“1 Happy is the man who does not walk according to the advice of the wicked 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 law(l) of Jehovah, And he ponders His law(l) 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. The wicked are not like that, But are like the chaff that the wind drives away. That is why the wicked ones will not stand up in the judgement, Nor sinners in the assembly of [upright] ones. For Jehovah is taking knowledge of the way of [upright] ones, But the very way of the wicked ones will perish.”

By taking delight in God’s word, receiving of it’s instruction regularly, we can think upon situations we meet each day as to how best to handle them accordingly, reflecting divine wisdom and love. This has God’s approval and blessing, bringing success by Him, trusting Him to be or become as He wills for each of us. The way we do things is highly important to God, to do them with integrity to His lofty ways, and good standards.

PSALM SELECT

Psalm 15, a song of David, outlines essentials to the course of an upright person. Despite it's simplicity, it in no way negates our need to consider God's word, but rather helps to guide our aims regarding our examination of it.

Psalms 15:1-5:

O Jehovalz, who may be a guest in your tent? Who may reside in your holy mountain? 2 The one who is walking faultlessly, Practicing what is right And speaking the truth in his heart. 3 He does not slander with his tongue, He does nothing bad to his neighbor, And he does not defame his friends. 4 He disapproves of anyone whom God rejects, But he honors those fearing Jehovalz. He does not go back on his godly promise, even when it is bad for him. 5 He does not lend his money beyond the going rate of interest, And he does not accept a bribe to testify (declare anything) against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never collapse or be brought to ruin.

Psalms 15:1-5, GNB (with the author's edits for added clarification)

LORD, who may enter your Temple? Who may worship on Zion, your sacred hill? 2 Those who obey God in everything and always do what is right, whose words are true and sincere, 3 and who do not slander others. They do no wrong to their friends nor spread rumors about their neighbors. 4. They [disapprove of] those whom God rejects, but honor those who obey the LORD. They always do what they (rightly) promise, despite the consequence. 5. They do not make loans beyond the going rate of interest and cannot be bribed to testify (declare something publicly) against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never collapse (or fall to ruin).

(A-306) (glp,fce) (d.f522) Theme: 

Last Run of the Penny?

Recently it was considered that the last order has been put in for the production of more pennies. This may have stemmed from cuts in government funding. For quite some time it has been known to be more expensive to produce or mint pennies than they are worth in face value, actually now about 1.7 cents to make each one. Of course, pennies continued to be made, in part because it has been worth it to maintain the penny for it’s part in our currency. But with this recent consideration or determination, what might we look at regarding our way forward—could it be time for a beneficial adjustment?

When it comes to coinage, the realization can be made that we have been mixing two ways of counting, both binary fractions and decimal. Both have an important place in life, and should be understood. Both can be generally grasped and managed by children and adults. A simple ruler or tape measure can illustrate the first one mentioned, as you think about how a single inch is divided. Markings will show, for example, a quarter (1/4) of an inch, as well as half of that, an eighth (1/8) inch, and half of that, a sixteenth (1/16) of an inch. Some rulers also show half of that, one thirty-second (1/32) of an inch. Either cutting things in half or doubling, this is what we mean by using a “binary” system, based on two’s, which is basically how computers work, and how God has arranged and accomplishes much in life. 

Understanding and using fractions is also an important life skill, such as working with measurements to make things, or to repair and install things in your home. While our dollars use a decimal approach, as in 10’s, 20’s, 50’s, and 100’s, it would be quite beneficial to use a fractional approach with our coins. Increasing the value of a dime could be a new 1/8 coin (1/8 of a dollar), half of 25 cents, two of these being worth one quarter. As regards the penny, the nickel could become truly one fourth (1/4) of a quarter, or about 6 cents, actually 1/16 of a dollar, then half of that new nickel could be 1/32 of a dollar, or just about three (3) cents. If it takes the same copper cost to make this new coin, 1.7 cents each, then we are not losing money to mint new 1/32 coins, with the term ‘pence’ referring to the fractional value nearest a whole number, in this case 3 pence. This could become the smallest fraction of a dollar, with a graduation in coin values taking place, so that existing pennies become worth about three times their value, two of them worth the new nickel value of 6 pence. Two of these worth the new dime value, or half-quarter. Fractions of 32 would run the gamut of a dollar, with 8/32 being one quarter (1/4). Might math skills increase???

Of course, while costs could fall in line with this change, coming across any decimal fraction could merely involve rounding to the nearest 3 pence, made easier by being three, nearest to two and four, or about .03 nearest to .02 and .04, for instance. To avoid most of this, the points at which a full 3 pence increment of tax could be calculated or made clear, such as every 50 cents or .50 on a 6.25% sales tax. Another example would be a 4% tax, with every 25/32, or .78125, being a 3 pence (1/32) in tax. This yields $4 tax for every $100 in purchases.

 An Important Lesson From the Past

Things taking place sometimes bring to mind important lessons. The Founders of the United States went to great lengths to prepare a lasting government. One lesson from history comes from Greece. We learn that Greece, around 508 BC, established a democracy, or democratic government, in its singular form, but this proved inadequate, too unstable. Not all persons are adequately prepared, even with a degree of divine wisdom, to understand and decide properly on all the important issues of government that may arise. The founders of the United States chose a constitutional or democratic Republic, a form of democracy whereby the people consider wisely and elect officials to represent them, who are adequately qualified to do these things. These discuss and prepare fair lawls or supporting regulations that enable a civilized life to continue and thrive, to maintain relative or growing peace in society.

R.F.K. Stadium

Regarding Local Washington D.C. Area

For some months and more there has been increasing interest and discussions, and preliminary work done on the question of bringing fans back to R.F.K. Stadium, which hosted championship seasons of the Washington Redskins in 1982, 1987, and 1991, under head coach Joe Gibbs, the Redskins coming off victorious those seasons as Super Bowl champs. This stadium is more accessible to D.C. residents, with FedEx Field having been built to house more fans, but away from the D.C. Metro system.

There has been a proposal to use the R.F.K. Stadium site to build a newer, larger stadium, however this has been met with considerable resistance as the existing stadium is solidly built and a fixture, and is already being found very difficult and costly if not impossible to remove and replace. On the other side, the proposal comes with provisions for many new businesses that could be associated with the Complex, the intent being to help offset cost and provide jobs. Therefore, another proposal has been presented, that would both prove less costly and still provide for new businesses, in an updated Complex of the original stadium, accentuating the original design with features making it still a premiere venue.

Of course, large(r) screen displays on each end of the stadium will enhance the experience, possibly a large horizontal display bookended by two portrait displays, allowing for multiple visuals or types of visuals simultaneously, sometimes both text and video.

A highlight of the existing stadium is it’s capability for providing additional heating (or cooling) to some 45-50% of fans, on the order of 10 or more degrees F (5+ deg. C) Not many existing stadiums have that kind of reach, and rarely has weather been a serious issue come game time. Also, seating comfort could be improved, paint can be removed and replaced where needed, with a more lasting kind, and the surrounding area can be built out around the stadium to make a modern complex that permits the increased businesses and two-tiered parking to make the necessary room.

The main concern may then be the capacity. Season ticket holders would have first dibs on games, but it is also possible that games with expected high interest could be planned still for the Landover, MD Stadium to allow for the higher capacity. Otherwise, after season ticket holders, first-come, first-serve and if needed, lotteries could allow for decisions on remaining seats. Sell-out crowds are not uncommon, and these are some ways to deal with this issue when they do occur. It is hoped that this proposal or some variation of it will be seen as the most viable and sensible option.

Assailment or Revilement Issue

There has been an issue needing to be addressed for some time, as regards the use of vulgar remarks and obscenities, even profanities, and the use of name-calling and put-downs, that often is not even permitted to be aired on television, but nevertheless has been taking place, at least among a few receiving attention in respectable positions of government. At one time this sort of speech was understood to be so detrimental that is was not tolerated, was not practiced, especially by those in high positions. It should be understood that there is a difference between drawing attention to a mistaken view, way of thinking or acting, which may indeed be wrong, and disrespectfully putting down a person himself, as if their feelings do not matter or needn’t be taken into account. It is believed that some matters addressed in the past in other areas may have impacted views, standards, and abilities to safeguard the kind of speech the Founders of our Nation practiced and intended to encourage, especially in government, not hateful, abusive, or disruptive of domestic Tranquility, but rather underscoring dignity, respect, and peace.

KEEPING MONEY IN IT'S PLACE.

1Timothy 6:17-19: "Instruct those who are rich in the present system of things not to be arrogant, and to place their hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God, who richly provides us with all the things we enjoy.18 Tell them to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be generous, ready to share, 19 safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, so that they may get a firm hold on the real life."

With many returning to some degree of work activity, they may finally recover from a difficult period lacking much of what they used to be able to afford week to week. Most have found ways to cut back on monthly expenses, while seeking to have some quality of life remain intact. Likely, many will continue thrifty practices, even after beginning to receive a more "normal" paycheck. Let this be an opportunity to set a new standard of saving. Once paying off accumulated debts, what a fine time and reminder to aim to avoid ever allowing oneself or one's family to get under that burden again, if at all possible. While certain debts have some value, and are often considered normal to acquire, such as debt for a home or a vehicle, it is nevertheless wise if at all possible to save a decent percentage of the loan amount before getting the loan, which may lessen greatly the loan term and rate. For smaller items, why not if possible save up for it, and purchase it outright, with cash? Or it might be purchased with a credit card, and paid off quickly, like in 3 or 4 months, as one way to establish better credit. Also, must we always live according to our means? Can we maintain a happy, peaceful lifestyle living on a little less, while saving what we can? Why not set aside an agreed amount each month if possible, and aim to have an emergency fund for those unexpected situations? Another fund might also be added to, such as a vacation or recreation fund for use on occasion. By now, you may have become expert at budgeting. So let's use the acquired talents, and avoid giving in to the urges to spend, spend, spend, if it's not necessary! While we can enjoy to some extent things money can buy, let's maintain our greatest appreciation for our relationships with God, with one another, and for spiritual values--our source of greatest and lasting happiness and peace. Even those with wealth need to be careful about their money: 1Timothy 6:17-19 for instance offers this counsel: "Instruct those who are rich in the present system of things not to be arrogant, and to place their hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God, who richly provides us with all the things we enjoy.18 Tell them to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be generous, ready to share, 19 safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, so that they may get a firm hold on the real life."

GOD’S HAND AND BLESSING ON CALENDAR, LANGUAGE, ETC.

CALENDAR. Many are already at least somewhat familiar with the 8-Day or 400-day calendar (now longer than 365 days) as presented on this website some time ago, which was clearly God’s will, revealing His miraculous intervention to change the Earth’s and Moon’s cycles to align with this better way forward, which has already been adopted in much of the globe, and with joy at the meaning God has put into the days and months, indicating His love for us and all. Many areas throughout the United States were following this calendar in 2024, and have been looking forward to the U.S. showing it’s honesty in upholding what God has already and really done in changing things astronomically, etc. More and more realize that God’s Son Jesus Christ above really was helping the United States, especially from the early 20th century, to begin playing a more leading role in contributing to peace in and throughout the world. 

LANGUAGE. Another area that God has shown interest in loving us is in the English language, that gives evidence of having been inspired and blessed by God in many ways. This language has become exceptional for conveying thoughts and ideas accurately and even in technical detail as needed, throughout the world. Of course, God used Hebrew and Aramaic for the first part of the Bible, and Greek the second, with there having also been a blessed Greek translation of the first part, to make His word more directly accessible to those who learn the Koine or common Greek language. Also, Mexican Spanish is a Roman Latin language that many people can relate to, having a similar language themselves. People have been shown to benefit by learning to understand language better, and learning a second language can help with this.

ENGLISH. As regards English, though, some have found it somewhat challenging to learn. Even some growing up here in the United States have found that to be the case, although efforts are being put forth to improve this. One thing that has become clear from God’s view is that some constructions in the English language, making it more complicated than necessary, did not have His blessing. In Mexican Spanish, for instance, vowels have typically been always pronounced the same way, so it is not difficult to know how to pronounce a word as you come to it. Now being a more technical language, English does need to have some additional complexity. In English, learners often start out with simple words that do follow a similar pattern. And we gradually are introduced to words that are longer and more complex. However, some of this complexity we have brought upon ourselves unnecessarily. God has indicated that improvement can be made with both vowels and consonants, for pronunciation to make more sense for everyone learning English. By simplifying a few things, and understanding a few rules or guidelines, without upending the importance of letters, syllables and associated meanings, learners can more readily see how to pronounce most any word in a somewhat revised English, that has already aroused much interest both here and in much of the world! And God has initiated His interest in making these adjustments right here in the United States, so that we shouldn’t be shy about improving things with God’s blessing, as he wants our children not to have unnecessary difficulty in learning the wonderful English language that He has purposed to be so important worldwide.

PURPOSEFUL. For one thing, God does want words mostly pronounced the same as they have been, but with the letters sometimes adjusted so that the pronunciation can be better ascertained by looking at the word. At the same time, it is preferable to keep words similar (such as by simply substituting a letter, or removing just a letter) more than shortening them unnecessarily, or changing them too much, thus retaining the essence of our language. Many of our children have struggled unnecessarily with complications in English that are overly archaic or confounding. We would look to God for His help, especially with some of the more simple changes, that would make clear how to make adjustments to other words. We could thus begin to figure out successfully the new correct spellings of words, or any changed words, while also having an app, guide, spellcheck, etc. to ensure words are being spelled correctly according to the new format, or update. This is already being done in some places!

EXAMPLES. Regarding the language, one example of a letter change is simply turning the soft c’s that are pronounced like s’s into s’s, while generally not needing the vowel whose purpose is to clarify which ‘c’ is being used. Thus a ‘c’ would always be pronounced hard ‘c’, while the ‘s’ as usual, soft. Also, you may have heard some s’s like some plurals or some possessions, that are pronounced ‘z’ to be as they should be, ‘z’. One indicator of God’s direction on this relates to the use of Jesus, representing God, being called “AsGod”, or “AZGod”. Which is most correct? Recall Revelation calls both God and Jesus the “First and the Last”, “the Beginning and the End”, the “Alpha and the Omega” or in English, “the A and the Z”. This explains his being called “AZGod”, showing God’s expectation that the ‘z’ sound would actually be spelled with a ‘z’ in English, and not with an ‘s’. Ending letters or consonants (before the plural is added) typically dictate which sound and letter it is, ‘s’ or ‘z’, so it can be understood more clearly. Thus again children will more readily be able to look at words and see how to pronounce them! There are just a few of these consonant changes, so knowing them all will avoid confusion on the (Newest) English words. Some clarity on vowels are also in order, so that the new version of English is overall even less confusing! The basic or singular understanding of letter meanings will also help words to be better understood by children and improve their learning to read and write well!

VIEWED AS AN UPDATE. One important rule is that Names as they have been in English are usually not to be changed. If someone wants to change their name for the sake of pronunciation, etc. in (Newest) English, that is up to them, and they would initiate that process on their own. Of course, some business and place names may wish to be updated, but not necessarily so. No doubt the process for making such changes, if desired, should be streamlined with modern help to make this simpler and more straightforward, less problematic. Since letter changes like these are limited, people will be able to understand the changes that have been made and not need to see every Name changed in some way. Past writings, etc. can and usually will still be clearly understood, especially by those of age, and thus not necessary to change. Most signs would be similar. By viewing this as an important update, and not as a new language, understanding of language itself will be promoted, and it’s beneficial purpose realized, in improving communication and helping those learning English to read and write acceptably.

Let’s expand on this with a future article…

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

INNOVATION. While it is true that many consider Electric Vehicles to be the wave of the future, it is actually not the only environmentally conscientious option. During my 2020 Presidential election campaign I discovered a method for making a Zero-carbon natural gasoline functioning no differently that has been in limited use in regular gasoline engine vehicles with no negative impacts, truly REDUCING our carbon footprint. Also of import, people should be aware, especially regarding earlier EV models, that an occasional situation leading to quick acceleration has contributed to neck thrust that could be serious, and should have led to recalls for mechanical or electronic upgrades. A recommendation was made for two gears for EVs, LOW and HIGH. It was/is recommended that the changeover between gears take place about 40 mph, a speed limit that is somewhat rare--limits are much more common as either 35 mph or 45 mph. I recommend that 41 be used, this allowing for a 45 mph limit or 42-44 travel speed, without any gearing change. Another idea I had: I believe EVs with the Low-High Gear Implementation, could also benefit by my shared patented technology conversion system for allowing a tank for gasoline that can be converted to electric power, making for an EV that can solve the charging travel challenge, eliminating the need for charging stations in every corner of the world. This can be a worthy secondary charging option. Rather, such stations might be in use at sensible places such as sit-down restaurants, hotels/motels, malls or movie theaters, etc. In agreement with the patent, Why couldn't many current EV's be retro-fitted with solid tank conversion for fillup for gasoline located in the frontmost portion of a car's trunk, leading to a safe fillup point/method, and leaving plenty of room still for misc. trunk storage space? This has been designed, but it’s basically a back-up option for fueling, as filling up this way converts the fuel to battery power, but generates canisters of liquid that need to be poured out on the ground or in a storm drain, etc. Yet it’s perfect in an emergency, when out of battery power. Also, why couldn't the "supreme" fuel using No-carbon gas become a double-concentration (possible, getting twice the gas mileage), although more expensive, for a higher efficiency fuel for use in gasoline engines or the smaller tanks mentioned for fitting with EVs? I believe some sensible solutions as these will make for a more balanced solution approach for an increasingly eco-friendly and stable world as well as U.S. and world economy.

TRUGAS. At the same time, as previously mentioned, Zero-carbon gasoline lessens any need for a replacement for Gasoline-engine vehicles, especially with newer efficiency technology. Even without such technology, the pollution problem drops dramatically with the new, natural fuel, which can be increased gradually, and profits can benefit the U.S. similar to petroleum (along with other energy solutions), only we can lessen dependency on taking petroleum from the ground as it is the intended lubricant for the massive plates beneath us which has been threatening increase of earthquakes without God’s patience and intervention to continue saving us. God never intended that we continue to use petroleum from beneath the ground, if we ever used it at all, because He gave us natural solutions that do the same thing, that we use natural products that grow or that we can grow, etc., and that are safer, even 1 to 1 replacements for the unnatural and temporary substances. The new gasoline, for instance, called TruGas, as mentioned has no problem replacing typical gasoline ounce for ounce, made correctly can even have the 10% ethanol added to it like the typical, and this gasoline can be processed in the same refineries that typical gasoline is processed in, lessening any need for major transformations in the industry to accommodate, which is one reason God and His holy spirit tolerated the use of petroleum in the first place—many things were being made that could operate just as well with the natural solutions God REALLY made and intended us to be using in the long-term!

HYBRIDS. Also, Hybrid vehicles, that are Gasoline-engines but with some electric/battery usage have had fewer safety issues with wheel movement, etc., although many of these may have been resolved in the latest Electric models, and the Hybrids also thus have fuel available anywhere and for any length trip without the need for charging stations being everywhere. This is another good option for those seeking environmentally-friendly solutions, while the Add-on tank conversion solution for Electric vehicles is also a worthy innovation that could be implemented widely if the industry is at the point of considering it.

TOPIC: LOW WATER LEVELS, RESPONSE/CONSERVATION

CONSERVE. In recent times we've been facing loss of water levels in many communities across the United States and elsewhere. A few solutions have been proposed previously, things that can make and have made a real difference in many of these areas. For one, excessive showers and shower times can be reduced, as most people do not need daily showers to truly remain clean--normal hygiene practices are all that's necessary to allow for showers every other day or so, but perhaps especially after heavy physical labor, exercise, etc. Most of the time a 5-minute shower or so is all that’s needed. One of the real problems in this regard has been some persuasive wrongdoers, who despite mistreating others, believe (and want others to believe) that by showering or bathing every day, they remain a clean person, as if doing no wrong. God's love for all should move such persons to desire to truly obey Him, becoming and remaining pure in God's sight, choosing not to lie, cheat, rob others, etc., but rather look to God for right needs and desires, according to His laws. This does not require excessive, but rather normal, hygiene and body care.

A few other things can also help: Clothes washer modes that save or use less water may be an acceptable measure. Another important area is where there is already dishwasher use. Water-saving modes on dishwashers, or installation of newer ones having such features can make a substantial difference, especially in restaurants, with well-designed models and appropriate detergents. This should be accompanied by practices such as dish scraping/wiping food into garbage and preliminary spot wiping as needed. For those washing in traditional ways, here is another water-saving method. Rather than requiring excess running of water to get a hot temperature, most detergents will work being applied to a sponge that is then soaked by distilled white vinegar, making possible effective dish cleaning in cold water! Be sure to turn water off when possible to save while washing, etc. prior to rinse. The vinegar is the key to allowing for cold water washing and less waste. Adding baking soda to a sponge helps with the staying power of detergent. Be careful not to wash out the vinegar too quickly with excessive sink water. Also, where appropriate or for new builds, the instant-hot method of acheiving hot water does save the extra time and water needed to begin receiving hot water from a standard water-heating system, after the pipe has cooled.

THEME:

SEEING AND HAVING FAITH IN THE “CRAMPED” OR PUZZLING ROAD TO LIFE

On this subject, many have been convinced of these important things—one, that God loves people like children and grandchildren, with 2Peter 3:9 stating that God “does not desire anyone to be destroyed, but desires all to attain to repentance.” Also, that for God’s will of genuine peace to prevail, even Paradise, people must learn to live as Christ taught, teaching the wisdom of peaceful and right living.

Even with these consistencies, some have varied in their view of how much of God’s “desire” or “wish” (that all attain repentance) will be realized, partly because this depends largely on people themselves. Elsewhere we read of God’s will explained: that “all sorts (or “kinds”) of people be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.” (1Timo 2:3,4). And people everywhere are realizing that God’s word and law are not unreasonable in what’s required for a life respectful of God and one another, making real peace possible. Really seeking a life with integrity is important to please God. However, some verses of God’s word may seem at first to indicate that not many can really meet God’s standards, but a more careful examination actually reveals otherwise.

The trouble largely lies with how some verses are commonly translated, but which can legitimately or more correctly be translated differently. One important example of this is in a statement made by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount. He was making a contrast which showed the need to exert ourselves to reach the goal of eternal life. He spoke of a broad, easy road that led to destruction, with “many” on that road. Note that “many” doesn’t necessarily mean “most”. By contrast, there was a narrow gate and cramped road or way leading to life. This illustrated the significance of laws and principles of truth that need to be understood, loved, and kept in order to live in the way that makes a truly peaceable and upright world possible.

The next words, though, may have been of concern to many who know of God’s love for all people. It is often translated “there are few who “find” it (that way leading to life).” Verses such as were cited earlier hold a different view, so what may be amiss here? Terminology used in God’s inspired Word underscores truth, logic, and divine wisdom. As with any translation, the right words need to be chosen to convey the correct meaning and this is not always straightforward. In the case of the verse in question, it’s the word for “find” that actually has a meaning more accurately conveyed by the word “discover”. While the similarity to “find” is understandable, God’s Son was acknowledging that some persons were guided by God to “discover” the more complete truth of Christ or way of Christianity, and unselfishly (although perhaps discreetly) sought to share it with others, who would themselves examine and gain life as a genuine follower of Christ.

His use of “narrow” and “cramped” may also bring to mind discoveries of other natural wonders on Earth, that may now be seen by millions or more annually. The shared discoveries regarding God’s way of truth and life have brought great hope, sight, and satisfaction to millions, even billions worldwide. God’s creative works and His inspired Word, understood correctly, both provide much evidence of His love for all.

Restore Good - Move Forward

This is M, or Michael, Camelangemy

The proper view of God and life is vital for greater harmony and peace, respect for each other from all walks of life, and with God's blessing on the Republic He established by the Founders, a basis for a government and a nation that can truly care for the needs of it's citizens and the world, rather than a shifting democracy subjecting good and vital practices and systems to serious threats of unhelpful change. Proverbs 22:28 says, Good News: "Never move an old property line that your ancestors established." Such wisdom has guided me in presenting policies, for example, and will help us all in restoring good, while moving forward. We don't need to set aside the laws and bylaws that the Founders established in the Constitution of the United States and other inspired documents by holy spirit. On the contrary, these we need to have God's blessing again, and regain lost happiness. Misunderstandings on this have led to ways of governing and acting that in all honesty have not really been as helpful as desired or in harmony with the wisdom and love of God to safeguard properly the things we should really hold dear. But in spite of a bulwark against the truth of the matter, we can together, as God's spirit prepared me, in my life and run for office, to have more fully the blessings He's promised for a bright future.

Reference (W5a) w0840-44, 11/11-15, 2024

Many or most people across the United States and beyond, have come to know of my having become the rightful president from the 2020 election, having become an Independent candidate, although strongly interested in bringing greater harmony among our parties, running against Joe Biden and Donald Trump, then publicly President. It has become evident that, as the 2020 Election neared, Donald had undermined Constitutional U.S. government, and had done much in an effort to gain future election victories. Still, with God’s blessing, I gained the election win, but in a Washington area region that had truth suppressed, due largely to some powerful influences, but also Donald’s aims of controlling the region’s media in ways never before imagined.

Fast forward to this 2024 Election, with confidence that many more know who I am and what I stand for, and that election victory would this time mean actually becoming publicly the President that so many were and still are looking forward to! By 1 or 2am election night, being Michael Camelangemy and Mark Allen Campbell by birth, I was understood many places to be the projected winner across the country by a fair margin, but evidently, to some or many the truth wasn’t being recognized, at least the appearance of the results being altered somehow, so that news was being projectered that Donald Trump was being considered the front-runner and even the President-Elect. Of course he capitalized on this right away, doing everything he could to support this view, although many election officials stopped counting votes, not having arrived yet at their own determination, most not even reaching the halfway point on the vote count. Apparently the states that Donald claimed to have won did not even reach ¾ of the vote, and there have also been credible reports of election fraud or tampering. There is also evidence that he even planned this maneuver prior to the election, of claiming victory before all the necessary votes had been counted.

Of course, I aim hopefully, still from the White House (when I get there), to protect the United States, from anything that could undermine what makes us tick, and maintain the blessing of God on our nation and activities, to be able to make things right, or Restore Good, as my website articles and policies have encouraged, and Move Forward properly, both here and abroad.

Episode 2, w0841 Theme: U.S. Election, Basis for Investigation

Since last time, some important things to know about the valid basis for investigating Donald Trump’s claim to have won the election.

#1) Is God blessing our choice for President, especially at this important time when the integrity of the U.S. government has been at serious risk, since the time of his previous term? He has shown little faith or trust in the government God blessed the framers of the Constitution to set up, that brought greatness to the United States in the past, and holds promise of restoration by returning to the truthful law they established. God’s spirit blessed me to receive the votes to win the election again, and restore God-blessed government, this time to be made more publicly the President. The fact that the vote count stopped before halfway, extended the normal 3-day period for determining the winner, and the law now allows for time as needed to determine the rightful and true winner.

#2) It has been clarified that Donald Trump really was impeached. Just because the Senate wasn’t able to confirm the impeachment, has no bearing on the U.S. founding law stating that he is not permitted to become President for 10 years following such an impeachment.

#3) Many of the things Donald Trump has used to garner votes were things I have prepared, written, podcasted, designed, patented, etc., that he has tried to steal or take credit for, or have someone else to do this. Especially my patents were acquired in a special legal manner to protect my own rights, work, intellectual property, and so forth, and I did this as among blessings God is allowing me to bring to the United States and the world, with trade potential and so on, looking forward to discussing further implementation of these things in the White House and publicly. Of course I wish many to be a part of bringing these benefits to life, the economy, etc. This was with God’s blessing on me, and another reason God blessed me to be the true winner of this election, and not Donald Trump or anyone else has a right to rob me of my own work nor the joy of leading our work together on these things.

Episode 3, w0842 More Laws, Considerations of Election Results

Here are a few more things deserving attention, regarding Donald Trump’s claim, and the true Election results. According to U.S. law, one who is truly President-Elect is not to publicly begin making staff or cabinet appointments until the turn of the year, in this case beginning actually the third day of Month 1, 2025. As mentioned previously, the stoppage of vote counting due to the early claim of victory, caused the normal 3-4 day period to determine a winner (actually the fourth day includes election day), to be extended until the true election results can be clearly determined, and under the circumstances, this calls for a more public examination of the election results, state by state, according to a careful investigation. 

Also, there appears to be evidence of system data manipulation, where the results being tabulated were not correct, as well as in areas confined mostly to the D.C. and Texas regions, broadcasts, real or conveyed, with incorrect results, due largely to A.I. tampering with media networks. This may have contributed, substantially, to any attempt to persuade the public, even public officials, and news media outlets. Let’s ensure that giving careful attention to such matters in the interests of genuine truth, will yield the results that the people of the United States together chose, that God can bless, for a successful and bright future.

Episode 4, Some of My Work, Past Term, born Mark Allen Campbell

I believe it only fair, having been the projected winner on election night of such an important election, and under the circumstances, to share some of the work I’ve done that contributed to the votes I received, to this time, be inaugurated more publicly. Of course, a person’s prior reputation is important, aiming to love as God and His Son love, and using my knowledge for good, benefitting others. The right education was and is important to me and all, the website I began, own, and author, obtaining the domain myself, findlifeandsee .com, has helped many further their knowledge of God and His Son above, and of practical living, to love and live life as God would have us live, wisely, and this also became a campaign portal, adding segments for responding to current events, as well as Come to Consensus Corner, to share policies, etc. Podcasts, Find Life And See podcast, and then when my then-phone disappeared, Find Life And See Earview Podcast, provided a way for me to share my work and do more. Sharing articles, also my website work on the Psalm 119 Commentary, as well as a Win-it Minute Series, to help in the gaining of divine wisdom in a God-blessed way. Let’s continue with more practical works, a president, next time.

Reference (W5a) w0840-44, 11/11-15, 2024

Episode 5, w0844 Some of my Work, Part 2.

Picking up from last episode, there was also some significant work that I began mostly during the last year of Donald’s time in office. I began looking more carefully into some of our most serious problems, daily issues like too-common house fires, and the crisis of energy, fuel, and the environment, climate. Having God’s blessing, solutions were found to greatly impact these and other problems. Then, and since then, other ideas, designs, ideas to help companies make better or healthier products, other improvements for a more secure and happier life, I patented in the interests of peace, good living, reflecting God’s love, an improved national economy, and governmental accomplishment. Along with policies on my website, then and since, and several initiatives, examples I reference on my blog, under Golden Apples, currently GA(11), placed at the top, {time of podcast, 2024}, to become GA(001) the theme: Some Important Initiatives, Campaign Facts, Proposals. Examples include initiatives on education, recall my website and podcasting, also some library initiatives. Also, initiatives on health, American agriculture and industry, homelessness, unemployment, food banks, hurricane recovery, housing, crime, improved public transportation and traffic safety (New York adopted public transportation ideas), 8-Day Calendar, for God’s gift of a longer year, 400 days, explaining some of the seasonal differences, efforts to improve work satisfaction, these still ongoing. Previously I explained that I was the projected winner 1-2 am Eastern Time on Election night by a “fair” margin—I understand that to be an understatement, the margin was rather quite considerable, a landslide. The question has been raised as to what is true—someone playing a trick or casting a spell or gypcra to make something appear true for a moment, or a short time, or what is genuinely true, when God takes away such temporary tricks? Many with honest efforts, including with the U.S. news media, despite past misinformation, can bring the true God-blessed results, again God and His spirit inspiring our government’s founding documents and bringing success, His having little tolerance for bribery or deceiving Americans, rather, with God’s blessing, leading to greater genuine stability and prosperity.

This description is a revision, and now with further explanation: you will know from the first episode of the theme what the overall length will be--mulitiply by 5, anything less than 500 will still be 500, anything more than 900 will still be 900. Otherwise 120,140,160 will become 600,700, and 800 respectively.

Winit5to9, a carryover from Winit500; addressing worthy issues of significance in 500 to 900 seconds weekly, in 5 episodes, typically between 100 and 180 seconds each, giver or take 10's, but 100's total, varying by overall theme and subtopic.

w0850-54, 2025 Claim to Presidency.

Last season's Winit500 concluding Series was on the incorrect claims of Donald Trump to have won the 2024 election for President, and the basis for a more careful investigation.

It became clear that the elements that in times past would have initiated and followed through on such matters of justice were no longer in place, at least partially dismantled at some point leading up to the 2024 election itself, as in portions of the Department of Justice, esp. offices related to the election and election integrity. Just as there was evidence of cheating and underhanded tampering with results on Donald Trump's part, as mentioned previously, he was likewise involved with this maneuver, and his actions following, to claim the Presidency in the DC region, with the appearance [or effect] of wider acknowledgement at least in some areas, give indication of his initial willingness to mislead the American people and cover up injustice, at least to this point or recently.

There has been a change of heart, though, addressing publicly this matter with remorse across the nation, wherever the genuine media coverage without the AI change is being heard and seen.

Understandable efforts to cut wasteful spending with a national debt that I also am addressing, were nevertheless being done, for his part, with questionable intentions, and not with the caution or care that should be expected of the nation's high office.

Truly turning from these things, acknowledging the true God-blessed election results, should bring success at undoing harm caused such as by restoring lifesaving programs internationally, as in the livlihood of FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and USAID, the Agency for International Development, managing such ongoing programs.

Also important offices of Justice should be restored, as integral to our nations' constitution, our very identity--upholding laws for fairness to all people, not subject to the whims of whoever may appear to be (put) in charge at someplace and sometime, as in a dictatorship or some sort of aristocracy. Rather, the Democratic Republic, or more succinctly, "the republic, for which [the flag] stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all" is what God has made possible, through that and those it represents.

w0851: Honesty and Unity Among Our States.

w0851 Episode 2 of 5.

Something should be said for the significance of honesty in addressing the matter being discussed as regards the true God-blessed election results of the 2024 election for U.S. President. 

We have been experiencing something that must never get out of hand as regards the critical matter of unity within the human family and the United States, and we must humbly look to God that we may all deal with this properly, lest the general unity we've maintained and have come to love within our country among our states and citizens that we could take for granted, despite genuine concerns over issues needing real and right attention and so forth, could be lost to strife and division caused by ongoing misconceptions generated by a media anomaly...that is, a disparity between the media in one place and the media in another. [is significant]. It likely contributed to the prior impeachment of 2020 [of Donald Trump] and should be acknowledged, that was substantially hidden, but in violation of significant constitutional laws and safeguards established to protect our union.

We must give this matter the attention it deserves, and sideline any deception and trickery it was conceived with, which threatens our union, our unity, and so forth. And we need to do this on the basis of everyone's need for love and a human society built on trust, respect, and integrity to rightful law and order that has made possible a thriving hope of global peace that we are in no way minded to give up on.

w0852: Episode 3 of 5

Winit5to9: reference w0852. Overall theme 2025 Claim to Presidency . This episode 3 , Human Society, Technology Recourse. 

Previously, we sought to address the significance of the recent honesty shown in a matter of national importance, and to explain a serious anomaly that has been taking place for some time as regards the media, especially in a few areas of the nation, primarily parts of the Washington DC region.

The aim of such clarification is peace among all. Some have not been ending up with truthful information. A second [or, alternate] version of reality is or was being either believed and shared or artificially generated to viewers and listeners via radio, TV, and internet, supporting a political agenda that has not adhered to constitutional law and safeguards of justice.

This situation should make us keenly aware of how AI and computer technology can be misused and such so-called work should now be disabled, undone, or redone to line up with laws the same way as any other type of action, document, bill of law, or procedure is required to do going forward. See laws already existing that do apply and offer guidance as to what all that is programmed should hold to and stay within, thereby not jeopardizing human society or contributing to human delinquency or violating human rights or laws established to protect them.

God through Christ in the past century worked to establish and maintain good government with good programming. The founders respected universal law. The Bible Book of Job references such work. We are aware of errors that stifle us and are holding us back. We need to cooperate together so things line up. Just as Coronavirus became a common threat to us, our enemy is not each other, but such threats that we need to band together to protect what God has given us, including life and so forth. Let it be peace that we all seek as God has made possible, and that we've come too far as a human family, not to trust him, to achieve together the right way, God's way.

Winit5to9: reference w0853, episode 4 of 5, Maintain Foundation of Truth. Adding is a note description of Winit5to9 series recalling 100 to 180 seconds each episode For improved clarity, you will know from the first episode, multiply by five what the total of the week will be between 500 and 900. for example, 140 would be 700 seconds total.

In examining this matter regarding honesty, presidency and so forth, I think it's only right and fair to say something of the impression some were getting about my own aims in this past election and, and ideas and so forth. We spoke previously of the importance of honesty and unity across the states, throughout the United States of America. isn't it on the basis of faith and trust working together that we have and can achieve the good things (that) 

God has purpose for us. God's word underscores this. God blesses us for this and we are not to leave it. It's the course of true love and how we attain not only peace and domestic tranquility as a constitution's preamble states within our borders, but how we can also blessed by God attain global peace and prosperity.

We should be so careful to seek peace with one another, especially when dealing with political matters. Politics should obviously not be about simply seeking power without God or true justice Seeking power in such a way is the opposite and leads us away from the good that we've achieved in the world and takes us way off course. Also, it's not about saying whatever one can get away with to get something. God hates a lie. Lies cause harm that usually has to be undone somehow.

It is about communicating and discussing issues that matter and policies respectably to build up communities, whether local, state, national, or global. There are reasons for misguided methods, but let's not whitewash them.

Episode 5, Honest Significance, Life and Unity.

 I hope that Donald Trump sees the importance, the significance of the honest admission referred to earlier in this week's broadcast, he made as regards my being the true God blessed winner of the 2024 election for President, many realizing that such honesty is significant in restoring God's blessing on our actions as a nation leading to recovery from a division that is not God's answer and is not the true solution to the problems we've had in our land and government and so on.

We do love and have real answers and again, such honesty goes a long way to contributing to the true solution, a restoration of good and the ability to then move forward in right ways that benefit everyone, our United States to be whole again, to be one and the entire human family.

Likewise, remember, Donald has acknowledged also honestly that well among, among the information that was on his social site Truth Social was good information from my own God Blessed work, but copyrighted whole articles I had already put on findlifeandsee.com , but, and, and by law though was not to be passed off as his work, which evidently was happening.

Also, Donald has acknowledged that among the information being put on his Truth Social networking site was information that was untruthful, even intended to mislead, more significantly so for a period of time. Let him acknowledge again perhaps the truthfulness of my election win 2024 as president and vote of the American people. We need real honesty and the healing that God through it makes possible.

Theme: Issue of Good Government

Episode 1 (of 5)

In the early years of our country, before the United States became the United States, conventions were called among bright men, even royalty, who came to this land for a new life, a better life, more free, despite initial hardships. Several important colonies had already been well-established, and had already set boundaries for themselves. Work would begin on what would be called “The Articles of (the) Confederation”, a way for the various colonies or states to govern themselves and govern together.

Many sound principles would come to be established and considered integral to the Articles, whether written in the primary document, or as associated laws and bylaws, or essential founding principles of good government, but in time enhanced understanding would prove necessary. The Declaration of Independence drew attention to the oppressive British rule 

they were facing back then, not to be misunderstood, and their intent for God-blessed freedom—not, again NOT freedom from God, but rather for God-blessed freedom. Now the British were not always abiding by recognized standards of war, violating treaties of war engagement.

W59 Ref. W0861 Ep2 Power Misapplied

Last episode, on recounting the history of the United States of America, we left off with the British then violating recognized standards of war engagement. Such standards were agreed upon by civilized countries for a God-blessed result with limited casualties, so at the time they were acting more like Babylon the Great.

Even today, so-called political maneuverings that are not political at all, rather false, fraudulent, disregarding of God and Christ, more accurately, apolitical or anti-political, have been practiced.

Some time ago, technology buffs began work with imagery on a three-dimensional world, many envisioning good utilization. This even became a basis for virtual reality. However, ethical safeguards began to be side-stepped, and now the internet and even television is flooded with video footage that appears to be just as real as the real thing, (but) it is digital and virtual, and has been effectively used to mislead the public. If used at all, not only should these video clips or images be identified, but there should be some indication whether they meet certain ethical standards unrelated to normal content. So it is clear, that while power can be used well, it can also be misused.

W59 Ref. W0862 Episode 3 War, Peace, Constitution, Federalist Papers

Picking up with America’s history and the fledgling people’s war against British rule, it was God they looked to for power and help. And He gave it to them. They would emerge victorious, and as with most any war, which God does not prefer, you hope all sides come away with renewed awareness of God’s justice and power to effect good, to reprove haughtiness, and promote right thinking for greater peace. But what had taken place, and after, caused astute ones of the country to realize that the Articles, as helpful as they were, were not enough to hold the States together. Greater involvement and structure on a federal level were needed for more stability and unity to be achieved.

Another convention was called, and with God’s blessing over several months, another founding document, the U.S. Constitution, was born. But how to present it to the public? Leading proponents of the Constitution, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, among our Founding Fathers, set about exploring various themes on government in a series of articles presented to New Yorkers called the Federalist Papers. The original 66 would prove to have all the earmarks of genuine truth, inspired of God’s spirit. And they would have wide support for acceptance of the Constitution. Contrary to the notions of some, the Framers of the New Constitution were not abandoning all the work and benefit that went into the Articles, still applying directly or in principle.

W59 Ref. W0863 Episode 4 New Light, Articles and Constitution

We left off last episode with the framing of the Constitution, and the continued significance of the work done on the Articles of Confederation. With regard to the latter, comparisons have been made to the Law of God found in Exodus through Deuteronomy of the Bible. Jesus or Joshalz state in his famous Sermon: “Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill, or to complete, perfect.” In that case, his teachings made it possible to see and understand that Law in new light. For instance, some severe, even capital, punishments could now be seen as spiritual rather than physical, as an excommunication of sorts, arousing repentance from serious wrongdoing and discipline toward correction, still with love.

Likewise, the U.S. Constitution upholds high regard for life and the good of citizens and people generally, when adhered to properly. The framers, in seeking a balanced federal government, addressed such things as free and fair elections, checks and balances in the power of government, a balance in Congressional power between larger states and smaller ones, and a Bill of Rights.

W59 Ref. W0864 Episode 5 of 5: God’s Guidance on Good Government

Last episode we ended with the good of the U.S. Constitution. God’s spirit guided the Framers in seeking a balanced federal government, addressing such things as free and fair elections, checks and balances in the power of government, a balance in Legislative power between larger states and smaller ones, and a Bill of Rights. The American people should elect their highest officials, freely and fairly, with safeguards against unlawful interference, which if violated, needs attention. Executive power could be checked by legislative and judicial authority. Having two Congressional bodies allows larger, more populous states to have more influence in the House, with more members, while smaller states carry equal force in the Senate. There is evidence, however, that the original number of senators was three, not two, making possible a clear state vote on any issue—thus greater effectiveness. And the Bill of Rights clarifies personal protections under the Law.

With respect for the Kingdom of God and Holy spirit, respecting God’s word and wisdom understood correctly, in a reasonable and balanced way, and with what God had already done for a new heavenly rulership and new earth, the Constitution and other founding documents have made possible meeting the needs of society in a God-blessed way, but we need to fully adhere to it, and stand up to attempted violations. In this way, the promise of God for good government and a blessed society can be realized.

Winit5to9, ref. w0865-69 Theme: Some Current Issues To Be Addressed—How? (Introduction)

This is Mark Allen Campbell. A recent Winit5to9 theme was on Good Government, blessed by God, and this is one thing I ran on, in my campaign  to continue as the rightful and true President of the United States of America, with many looking forward to my actually, despite past misinformation and so forth, making the White House, where Joe Biden might have been able to help me, and this time accomplishing together much more what God’s prepared me to be as your President.

However, with belief that Donald Trump won the election, which claim he unlawfully manufactured, and for a time has continued to bolster, I appeal to honest hearts that God really blessed me to win the election and be your President, and He continues to so bless me still, only we can accomplish so much more together realizing this together! I wish to share some of my thoughts on important matters we’re currently facing, such as the Economy and Immigration, but starting with Energy and Environment.

Some important initiatives I began in 2020 can play a part, but mostly working together to be both environmentally aware and to realize that this can be not just good for our health and life, but also for our bankbook, our economy and economic vitality.

#1 – Coal Issue, Wood and Natural Gas

Not everyone realizes that the primary purpose of coal is not for energy use. Wood, on the other hand, is 10-15 times as efficient, and it need only be quartered to be burned at most coal plants, maintaining their viability. Natural gas is a by-product of paper-making, from wood.

#2 – TruGas is made from natural things above ground, and is zero-carbon, but can be processed in the same refineries as typical gasoline, without removing the petroleum from below the ground that is long-term meant to stay there, lubricating massive plates beneath us.

#3 – TruDeezle with (this) recommended spelling difference. This is a newer diesel that also has practically no carbon, which we could begin to incorporate especially in areas where polluted air has been a greater issue, as well as even mixed for deezle fueling on roadways, but not mixing what came to be known as Biodiesel—they may begin making this product, selling off the former. Both of these gas and diesel solutions are cost-effective.

#4 – Hydro and Solar – Capturing waves and rays are both useful, with improved technologies.

Giving attention to and transitioning will help pave the way to a brighter future and clarify our aims of a clean environment that is economically sensible and beneficial.

Winit5to9 Theme: Addressing Some Current Issues—How? 

Ref w0866 Ep2 Immigration

Intro: What may be said about views we should continue to uphold regarding immigration in the U.S.?

Under the recent ruling that made clear the necessity of entering our country through the proper channels and pathways, it will be good for us to ensure that the methods for applying for rightful U.S. residency are open and clear. At the same time, however, the spirit recently against allowing ordinary persons even, to enter the U.S. is also becoming clear, even seeking ways to deny U.S. citizens of their own right to citizenship, out of harmony with the spirit of the Constitution, and the freedoms and protections that the Founders established in the Bill of Rights and associated laws. Some seem to have gotten confused about an occasional rule that doesn’t make sense and seems to get in the way of doing the right thing, as though this somehow denies the importance of genuine established law in our Democratic or Constitutional Republic, or the Law of God, which Laws actually protects the rights and freedoms we hold dear, and provide a framework for dealing respectfully and peaceably with one another, and caring about our own needs and that of other people. It was for such freedom, that early Americans fought, and more immigrants have sought, to live and be added or counted among us, as our Statue of Liberty has long celebrated. 

God’s word states that there was to be one law for the Israelite and the foreign resident. They weren’t to be judged by different sets of rules or consequences for their mistakes. And God’s people were to be welcoming and merciful, compassionate to one another, and all others, generally speaking. A President of this United States, therefore, should represent our Constitution’s view of people and rights, to be among us lawfully, and not face human rights violations,  rather have human rights upheld, acknowledged where freedom continues to ring worldwide, which should be especially so here, in the United States of America. I strongly advise against the spirit of an Alligator Alcatraz. Discipline is one thing. Violations of Human Rights and Dignity is another. Ask, is what’s being done going to help that one, I say again HELP that one be restored as a trustworthy and responsible member of our community? I also have been against harsh treatment of those migrants who sought shelter or refuge in our country, from even life-threatening situations elsewhere, amid apolitical violence and threats. I understand that for some two months’ time in 2024 there was practically no criminal behavior among such ones grateful to be here in our country, in our nation.

Winit5to9 Theme: Addressing Some Current Issues—How? 

Ref w0867 Ep3 Government

On this issue (Government), there is much concerning people these days, and much has happened to affect government itself. Nevertheless, just as the Founders of our Nation looked to God for guidance and strength to do right, so can we. Their looking to God for freedom and good government carried over into the documents they wrote to found a government to protect that freedom—those documents were inspired of God, with the earmarks of genuine truth and authenticity, and the basis for effectively governing with divine blessing on their and our efforts, but as we aim to carefully adhere to the wisdom, laws, and so forth directly associated with these documents as seen in the proper light, really in the modern light of the love and wisdom of God and the peaceful world that He has purposed.

Such insight can help us sort out some issues or things we’ve lingered on recently, realizing (that) we do have guidance on such matters right in the documents’ associated laws that we can see do have modern relevancy, and that the spirit of God really was upon these writings for this purpose.

Regarding other matters, we mostly realize we should be careful about what we give up in the interests of saving money. Let’s not give up positions or people doing important things for our government or for people, even elsewhere, in the interests of saving a few dollars relatively speaking when we have other ways to maintain or attain income and aren’t necessarily in need of spending those particular bucks on something else, possibly something less important or consequential. Remember that our preamble to the Constitution, stating it’s defining aims to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, and care for the general welfare of people, and so forth, are tied in to many of the government agencies and positions, etc. that were gradually established. And I say this, not to look back, but if any such government functions, agencies, and so forth are deemed important still, blessed by God, and may be retained, let’s see if there are ways to so retain them. 

All this can impact other government responsibility, even the peace we seek outside our borders, and economic concerns also cross over into our effectiveness in government.

More on that, and the general economy, next time.

This is Mark Campbell.

Winit5to9 Theme: Addressing Some Current Issues—How? 

Ref w0868 Episode 4 Economy

Last episode’s mention that at least some of the government job cuts may not have been blessed by God was made nevertheless with hopes of humble acknowledgement of God’s continued will for the U.S. to humbly serve in the best interests of both ourselves and other countries, not being insensitive to the genuine needs of people (in fact, actively helping them to be met), and using the resourcefulness God gave us in harmony with this spirit which is blessed by God. It was not intended to needlessly offend, but to right some potential wrongs that may have taken place in the presumed interests of saving money.

As regards the economy, first some stop-gap measures were put in place after the global shipping trade was disrupted, but there are reasons that these measures are not, and shouldn’t be, long-term sustainable to this extent. I believe more is being restored, as this is very important for the world-wide economy and for U.S. trade. Another port on the west coast can be made available for U.S. import. Also, some things formerly considered necessary are threatening even long-cherished businesses, large and small, and our national identity under God. We want to be reasonable, but tariffs should not have been so increased, and unreasonable tariffs are not the answer. There are answers that align with greater peace and economic prosperity. Again, God knows and can help us right things to be in the best interests of everyone long-term. For a time there may be some money available to help where its needed and to save some businesses, but this situation needs to be corrected with God’s help and blessing.  Also, the U.S. should continue to be known for well-made products and services.

Winit5to9 Theme: Addressing Some Current Issues—How? 

Ref w0869 Episode 5 of 5: More Economy

Last episode we discussed issues of shipping, tariffs, etc that are concerning and what may be done to help our economy and save many businesses, large and small. Some other countries are no doubt facing similar problems, and many will be helped by our own corrections. What else should we now consider?

It is being understood that the stock market played a role in moving much manufacturing to other countries, but this was evidently somewhat directed by God, as His will was to bring more balance worldwide. We should now look to restore and maintain balance both here and abroad. Some depressed areas need to be helped and/or to increase minimum wages for needs to be met. At the same time, rental rates should not be skyrocketing! Some things can be looked into to make rates more reasonable—I’ve purchased many units in the past where rates could be lowered, and new buildings can be made more cost-effectively to keep rental rates low!

Also, as it turns out, something has been a driver of inflation for quite some time. It has to do with the Real estate tax, but not the initial tax assessed when a property changes hands. It is just the ongoing year after year taxing and re-taxing of our own land or planet. And consider, shouldn’t you be able to reside on your own purchased land even if you have a down-turn or not much money to pay a yearly tax on it? How do we solve or resolve this problem?

There are actually three (3) or more reasonable taxes to use instead, again, as it turns out. Yes, why is that personal property or vehicle tax one of these? Because you’re largely in control of it! How so? By the vehicle or vehicles you choose to own and operate, you decide what amount of tax you believe you can afford over the period of time that you have it or them. And such vehicles are considered an investment and so forth.

Another reasonable tax, especially when it remains a reasonable 5.9%, is the restaurant meal tax. Again, why reasonable? You’re in control. Between fast food and fine dining, you control what you spend and how often you spend it.

Thirdly, travel expenses. Here again, you have considerable control, and in this case both home and travel locations may benefit from some of these expenses. You or your company essentially decides on how much and how often. Such measures are good, but we need God’s blessing on these and our acting truly for real success.

PSALM SELECT

PSALM 33, NIRV and some remarks

Verses 1-3 Recall that the Psalms are essentially songs, so they sometimes reference the playing of music and singing with skill, zeal, and joy, usually to start and/or end the psalm

1 You who are godly, sing with joy to the LORD.

It is right for honest people to praise him.

2 Praise the LORD with the harp.

Make music to him on the lyre  that has ten strings.

He is faithful in everything he does.

5 The LORD loves what is right and fair.

The earth is full of his faithful love.

Verses 6-9 God’s power and loving creative hand and handiwork, bringing the world to life, reveal Him so deserving of thanks and praise

6 The heavens were made when the LORD commanded it to happen.

All of the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea together.

He puts the oceans in their [place].

What he wants to do will last for all time.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.

Blessed are the people he chose to be his own.

13 From heaven the LORD looks down

and sees everyone.

14 From his throne he watches

all those who live on the earth.

15 He creates the hearts of all people.

He is [able to know] everything they do.

Verses 16-22 More on faith in God, His wisdom and just use of power

16 A king isn't saved just because his army is big.

A soldier doesn't escape just because he is very strong.

17 People can't trust a horse to save them either.

Though it is very strong, it can't save them.

18 But the LORD looks with favor on those who respect him.

He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love.

Proverbs 5:1-6:

"1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Listen carefully to my discernment, 2 So that you may guard your thinking abilities And safeguard knowledge with your lips. 3 For the lips of a crooked woman drip like a honeycomb, And her mouth is smoother than oil. 4 But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood And as sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet descend into death. Her steps lead straight to the Grave. 6 She gives no thought to the path of life. Her course wanders, but she does not know where."

"1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Listen carefully to my discernment, 2 So that you may guard your thinking abilities And safeguard knowledge with your lips."

Prove 5:1-2: We should all pay careful attention to what we learn from Proverbs, the rest of God’s word, and instruction from Him in other ways on a regular basis. Even after we have learned much divine knowledge, Hebrews 2:1 says "That is why it is necessary for us to pay more than the usual attention to the things we have heard, so that we never drift away." Regular instruction and reminders from God protect our spirituality, relationships with Him and others. There are different ways of approaching the same subject, so we shouldn't be put off if we're hearing something we already know. The apostle Peter wrote, at 2Peter 1:12: "For this reason I intend always to remind you of these things, although you know them and are well-established in the truth that is present in you."It is knowledge that can lead others to everlasting life--try to see a difference in the way such knowledge is being presented each time. When Jesus/Joshua was trying to teach his followers humility, they struggled to get the point, in the competitive, class-driven society of their day. But he would each time try a different approach to the same lesson. It still took time, but they would eventually get the point. Peter counseled, for instance, at 1Peter 5:5, "In the same way, you younger men, be in subjection to the older men. But all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones." Peter understood and taught discernment, to see the difference between egopride that God opposes, and humility that He blesses.

After the counsel to guard thinking abilities, we read:

"3 For the lips of a crooked woman drip like a honeycomb, And her mouth is smoother than oil. 4 But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood And as sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet descend into death. Her steps lead straight to the Grave. 6 She gives no thought to the path of life. Her course wanders, but she does not know where."

Prove 5:3-6: An immoral woman can have compelling words, being seductive, and the trap of an immoral course can bring bitter consequences, with potential harm to the flesh and the spirit, possibly bringing a condition of spiritual death. However, there can be figurative meaning to these words as well. In the Scriptures a woman can represent a group, a collective body, such as God's "woman" of "wife" of heavenly angels above. As regards groups on earth, how fine when such look wisely above, pleasing God, recognizing God's chosen leader and supporting the doing of God's will! Even if some have strayed, may they come to hate any wrong conduct or activity that could lead others astray, and rather accept Christ's merciful ransom provision, making possible genuine forgiveness of past wrong from God's standpoint, turning from such to seek activity in agreement with God's will and the blessings of His Kingdom! We should all hate immorality in any form as it becomes clear what God's reasonable standards truly are, thus promoting endless life in the right way. The answers really are inside the lines of God’s law, and not outside of it. For those of age not far from adult life, there is even true engagement as God’s way for two to work toward a wonderful marriage, His own family arrangement.

PROVERBS A CH 1-10

Let's begin with some preliminary comments:

The chapter, beginning in verse 3, counsels a young man to guard thinking abilities and steer clear of a crooked woman, whose lips "drip like a honeycomb", and whose mouth is "smoother than oil", but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword. Such is the effect of disregarding God's moral instruction, perhaps disregarding His standard to confine marriage to a loving, faithful woman that loves the true God and His Son. 1Corinthians 7:39 states the principle that one should, if able to choose, marry "only in the Lord." One should thus marry a dedicated Christ-minded believer if possible, one understanding of Christ’s ransom and willing to comply with God's divine standards given through Christ. If you or your family happens to belong to a particular Christian tribe, (Baptist, Methodist, etc., or an associated group respectful of Christ) then it may be beneficial to consider marrying into the same, although that one should be seeking, like you may be, the "one faith" of true Christianity (Ephes 4:5; 1Cori 1:10).The counsel to guard one's associations is no more important than in the selection of a faithful marriage companion! (1Cori 15:33). Now let's consider verses 7-10:

"7 Now, my sons, listen to me And do not turn away from what I am saying. 8 Stay far away from her; Do not go near the entrance of her house, 9 So that you may not give your dignity to others Nor reap years of what is cruel; 10 So that strangers may not drain your resources And what you labored for go to the house of a foreigner."

Prove 5:7-8 The loving, wise father of Proverbs 1-9 exhorts his son to stay far away from a woman disregarding God and his standards, who is not fearing Him. How fine, however, if such a woman sees the error of her ways, by the counsel of God, repents of her life course and humbly turns to the true God. Perhaps such a woman, in God's mercy, may learn to serve Him in faithfulness. But this can take much time and effort. Therefore if possible the wise son should seek a wife who will be loyal to Jehovahz and the one faith of true Christianity, thus both having a hold on the path of everlasting life, seeking God's loving guidance and instruction in life. The proverber continues regarding the consequences of the son looking to the wayward woman, in verses 9-10:

"9 So that you may not give your dignity to others Nor reap years of what is cruel; 10 So that strangers may not drain your resources And what you labored for go to the house of a foreigner."

Prove 5:9-10 Such a young man would be on a disastrous course, leading to heartache and loss, and likely having much of what he's worked hard for taken away from him, his resources drained, going to others. May men who have come to experience this bitterness still look to God for support as they seek to meet obligations until God's Kingdom sets all matters right. Young, inexperienced ones need to gain foresighted shrewdness, learning to look ahead at the consequences of a bad course, that they may hate what is bad in God's eyes, and steer clear of it. If God says its bad, it is so for a reason, and we do well to stay far away from such a course.

Proverbs 5:7-10, 11-14:

"7 Now, my sons, listen to me And do not turn away from what I am saying. 8 Stay far away from her; Do not go near the entrance of her house, 9 So that you may not give your dignity to others Nor reap years of what is cruel; 10 So that strangers may not drain your resources And what you labored for go to the house of a foreigner."

"11 nor you have to groan in your future when your flesh and your organism come to an end. 12 And you will have to say: “How I have hated discipline and my heart has disrespected even reproof! 13 And I have not listened to the voice of my instructors, and to my teachers I have not inclined my ear. 14 Easily I have come to be in every sort of badness in the midst of the congregation and of the assembly.”

Recall that "shrewdness" basically means "applied foresight," and thus looks ahead at the consequences of actions and decisions beforehand, good and bad, and acts accordingly to avoid calamity, or danger. Something God tells us is "sin," which means "missing the mark," is out of harmony with God's standards and leads us astray, causing spiritual harm and other consequences. God loves us greatly, and warns us of such things to save us from spiritual and physical harm. As Proverbs 22:3 says, "The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, But the inexperienced [or, "naïve"] keep right on going and suffer the consequences." The Bible book of Proverbs provides much in the way of awareness of the consequences of bad behavior. This consideration in Proverbs 5 is one example. One choosing as a life partner one who is "crooked," thus straying from God, perhaps worshipping false gods, which God's word equates to serving demons, will likely reap bitter consequences, which can include eventual loss of life, even eternal life which could otherwise bring true happiness with God and a loyal marriage partner, among dear family and friends earthwide. Why give up such blessings, for enticements such as pleasure that a godly marriage partner can also bring, or money, or other things? This is merely a trap, snaring those lacking heart, or good motive. If one is of age, or nearing the age to marry, why not look to God for help to find a loyal marriage partner you can delight to share life with? The process need not be terribly drawn out! But failing to obey God, including in the matter of choosing a lifelong partner where possible that will adhere to true faith, is sin, and can lead to greater sin.

Do we want to regret our life looking back, saying "How I hated discipline!...I have come to the brink of complete ruin in the midst of the entire congregation?" Let us value needed discipline, and hate what is bad in God's eyes! May we especially learn to hate any violation of the marriage covenant, which for those of earth is God's only provision (aside from the non-direct provisions of true "engagement") for satisfying sexual desires. God commands: "Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for God will judge fornicators and adulterers." (HEBrews 13:4). When married partners love God and each other, sex allows them to express their loyal love and perhaps bear children that can be raised in a secure, loving home by both mother and father, in harmony with God's ways. Often with God, we need only faithfully wait a little longer while remaining faithful to His statutes to experience many blessings from Him! If someone tries to entice you, refuse to participate! Says Proverbs 10:22, "It is the blessing of Jehovahz that makes one rich, and He adds no pain with it." Thus avoid sinning in this matter. To move us to "hate what is bad" that we may make wise decisions, may we realize that such sin, any serious sin, can result in headaches, heartaches, heartbreaks, troubles, turmoil, grief, sadness, and pain, for ourselves and others, along with the work spiritually necessary, with the help of spiritual shepherds, to get back on track after such sin, as well as personal efforts to do what we can to right the wrong to the best of our ability. While it is worth all the effort to recover, how much better to see the consequences of badness, and stay far away from such sin in the first place, remaining close to God and others spiritually, finding true joy in living in accord with God's will and word!

Proverbs 5:15-17:

"15 Drink water from your own cistern And flowing water from your own well. 16 Should your springs be dispersed outside, Your streams of water in the public squares? 17 Let them be for you alone, And not for strangers with you."

Prove05:15-17 For one married to a good or godly woman, how fine to appreciate the gift provided in the marriage partner God may have helped that one find! She may have some flaws, as he does, but if she loves good, his true, tender and loyal love may move her to overcome such things, as they both improve in their relationship with God and each other. The reference to water is evidently referring to his proper source of intimacy that should be exclusive to his marriage partner, not only sexual but also a special emotional intimacy, to remain within the marriage bond. Rarely should one seek such satisfaction outside, in the public squares, with strangers! Seeking such intimacy elsewhere would reveal a lack of appreciation for God's lovely arrangement of marriage. Sometimes circumstances or tricks have caused confusion, but when God clears things up, eventually what is true and His will prevails. If one is not married but nearly old enough, may he or she look to God and His word, parents and other responsible ones to prepare oneself properly for this, then to have God's help to find one that enjoys being with him/her and loves God and Christ as well. God loves you, and is happy to help you find a cherished partner when the time comes, loyally becoming or remaining faithful to God, trusting God for the proper time and way for things to work out! Violating God's standards will not serve to prepare you for a happy, loyal marriage that can endure the test of time, but will threaten hopes of eternal happiness. Be faithful to God and your future partner!

Proverbs 5:18-20:

"18 May your own fountain be blessed, And may you rejoice with the wife of your youth, 19 A loving doe, a graceful mountain goat. Let her nourishment satisfy you at all times. May you be captivated by her love constantly. 20 So why, my son, should you be captivated by a crooked woman Or embrace the bosom of an immoral woman?"

The context of these verses involves helping a young man disregard the "lips of a crooked woman" which may "drip like a honeycomb," but "in the end she is as bitter as wormwood and as sharp as a two-edged sword." (Verses 3,4). Rather, let's treasure the gift of marriage, one's dear wife being cherished by him along with her expressions of love and affection.

Prove 5:18-20 Jehovahz instituted marriage for the happiness and benefit of mankind! Patience and self-control are vital for both unmarried and married persons. Loyalty to God and one's marriage partner should be safeguarded, with expressions of marital endearment reserved for this one alone, with whom vows have been exchanged to care for one another through thick and thin, in good times and bad. Of course, any willful misuse of marriage gifts may be disregarding God, violating the sanctity of marriage. Trust God and wait! Also appreciate the gift of Engagement which permits limited expressions while aiming for a good relationship making possible a good marriage! Regarding those under heaven, one abusing such gifts from God is practicing disloyalty toward others, seeding impurity and distrust, and violating true love--putting at risk the everlasting happiness of himself and others. God has purposed marriage to be a gift for mankind's happiness--would we want to turn our back on this blessing???

One not yet married should work on preparing heart and mind for life and growing to adulthood, acquiring useful skills for contributing to a happy union and family with one that God can help him or her find in agreement with their heart's desire. Should romantic expressions come to an end a few months after the marriage begins? By no means! The man is to love her as his "own body", and be "captivated by her love constantly!" The wisdom and love of God as taught in His word helps both husband and wife to respect, cherish, and love one another as they should--let spiritual things be appreciated by both the man and woman, with the man taking the lead to ensure caring for various needs of his family--not just material needs. Of course, the wife can also have a share in instructing their number of children, along with her other responsibilities. (Prove 31:10-31). Both husband and wife should be freely able to express appropriate affection for one another when together. Therefore there is no need for a man to look anywhere else for such satisfaction--God made people to be happiest as adults loving Him and one's marriage partner while obeying Him together faithfully, with family. If married, may we faithfully disregard the actions or "lips of a crooked woman" that threaten the sanctity of our marriage! If unmarried, prepare yourself for the gift of marriage God's way, maintaining purity of heart and mind, saving your closest expressions of love and endearment for the one God will help you find as you loyally turn to Him for such help, becoming engaged to prepare, and marrying appropriately, finding true joy with God's blessing.

Proverbs 5: (15,18-20,) 21-23:

"15 Drink water from your own cistern And flowing water from your own well...18 May your own fountain be blessed, And may you rejoice with the wife of your youth, 19 A loving doe, a graceful mountain goat...May you be captivated by her love constantly. 20 So why, my son, should you be captivated by a crooked woman Or embrace the bosom of an immoral woman? 21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovahz; He examines all his paths. 22 The crooked one is ensnared by his own errors, And he will be caught in the ropes of his own sin. 23 He will die for lack of discipline And go astray because of his excessive foolishness."

“21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovahz; He examines all his paths."

Pro05:21 Clearly, Jehovahz can see what a man has done, and what is truly in his mind and heart. But does God use this ability to try to find fault with or condemn mankind? Or, like a loving father toward his children, does He not prefer to rejoice in those seeking to practice good, being lovingly willing to offer correction to those seeking His help in prayer? Certainly, God recognizes that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (ROMans 3:23). Still, as John 3:17 clarifies: “17 For God did not send his Son into the world for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him.” Mankind has been given the gift of free will, and God wants us to use our freedom to please Him, hating what He reveals is bad for us. Who knows better than God what way of life will make us truly and lastingly happy and satisfied? Who knows better than God what ways will bring us harm, grief, trouble, and problems, not only to ourselves but to others as well? Does Jehovahz take delight in ones causing such grief to themselves and others? How all need God’s help and word to guide and correct every step! It is up to each one to use God-given freedom to seek His direction in life. Proverbs 15:29 says “29 Jehovahz is far away from the mischievous, But he hears the prayer of the upright.”

"22 The crooked one is ensnared by his own errors, And he will be caught in the ropes of his own sin."

Pro05:22 Notice that it is not necessarily God himself that is bringing troubles on those sinning, but it is often their own errors that cause them trouble, which Jehovahz lovingly wants to warn us against. It is usually the errors themselves that ensnare a crooked one. God understands the troubles caused by “sin,” which means “missing the mark,” as an arrow might miss it’s target. Some arrows, like errors or sins, might miss the target completely, whereas others may not be as far from center. How terrible if an arrow is so far off target that it seriously wounds another human! God’s wise and wonderful word can make sin clear to people, with Jesus’s or Joshalz’s commands and teachings helping to avoid hurting others and to please God more fully. The crooked should not ignore such wise counsel.

"23 He will die for lack of discipline And go astray because of his excessive foolishness.”

Prove 5:23 Such ones may have lacked the loving discipline, or guidance, that a parent can freely offer their children. Parents should aim to lovingly instruct, guide, and correct their children, seeing beyond the notion of simply punishing them for every conceivable violation of rules. Even before Joshua set an example in patiently instructing his disciples, God had given Israel guidance in this. Deuteronomy 11:18-19, for instance, says to parents: “18 You must impress these words of mine on your heart and your soul and bind them as a reminder on your hand, and they should be like a headband on your forehead. 19 Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.” Parents, have you let yourselves become too busy to follow God’s instructions here through Moses? Let’s minimize some of the distractions that may be getting in the way of such beneficial communication. We might benefit from a book well written that shares Jesus's/Joshua's teachings for young people, or we might find age-appropriate material from his Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 5-7, along with stories from other Bible books like Genesis, for starters. My own discussion of the Sermon in four articles may be a good reference. Try to relate the real-life stories of the Bible with enthusiasm, and with emphasis on the vital lessons to be learned, showing how to apply it and benefit day to day. Such efforts may well prevent one from 'going astray'!

Jesus made good use of illustrations and stories to teach such important lessons—may we share these freely with our children, helping them understand the way of genuine Christianity.
