I am a person who likes to talk about a little of everything whether it's love, JESUS, the federal reserve to automobiles. Anything goes, that's my motto.

Though I walk threw the valley! Psalms 23 v1
What I was going to type and write was. In a land and time many many years ago there were two Kingdoms Judea to the north and Israel to the south. The children of Israel got to the point where they wanted a king like all the other heathen nations around them had. So GOD gave them what they wanted as He always had, weather it was good and right for them or not. But he told them that the King would be a burdensome King. So He gave them Saul. he did as GOD said he would and worse.He turned from GOD. made all of Israel to suffer. But there was a young man, who would become the Future King of Israel, a man after Gods own heart. David, yes this same David who slew a bear with his hands,yes this the same David that slew Goliath the philistine. yes the same David who sent a man to his death so he could have his wife. yes this same little David who play the harp for the King he would replace as KING. yes this same David that the KING SAUL would become jealous of and would seek to kill numerous times.
What I was attempting to convey was the first lines of what David said in Psalms 23; when He wrote;- ( Though I walk threw the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear not evil. ). David from a very early age was chosen of God to be King over all of Israel. North and South combined and it did happen.just read 1st and 2 nd Samuel . David went through so much ,so much that none or a lot of people will never go through. Being chosen of God is not the easiest thing to be because no matter what it seems that there's a target on your back at all time, and I believe David knew that from the beginning. Weather God had or has called you from the womb, It's not only bad that we are born into sin but it's like a double jeopardy to be called from the womb, it you can understand that concept. Though i walk threw the valley of death~!
I believe that David knew from a early age as I started to state early that there wouldn't be a day that His live could be taken from him. He knew there would be struggles in life. But you know what, in all of this He knew that He had the one person on his side, weather he lived that day or died. He had The One Living God on his side, WHY? because of the promises God had made Him. that He would be His GOD.
Its was my mistake the other night on Face book to not clearly explain myself. no matter how many people cares for Me. All we really need is God. What i said and what was suppose to come out was two different things. What I meant to say that night was this. I am 51 going on 52. I was and still am a Minister of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God weather I ever preach again, no I am not being arrogant. But as the Bible speaks, I have made sure my calling, Yes without a shadow of any doubt I believe and know that God called Me from an early age also, even though it was not manifested til I was 21 or 22 years old. Do I still believe God is with me. Well I would be stupid if I though He wasn't. He said in his word that He would be my God no matter what with the exception of Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Has He God ever left me NO even though I've walked away a couple of times, Has he been there waiting on Me with open arms YES, The Bible tells me He was and Is.
All I was saying was don't call 911, is because I know where my walk with God is, and were we are headed. Friend, family, kids.I want you all to understand I thing. God is My God he is a living, breathing, walking, talking, all knowing,seeing, and powerful God. He for just me alone has done so much to prove to me that he is My God even though I have really never proved anything to him, He has answered me when I was not worthy of an answer. He has opened up the windows of Heaven for me even when I was not worthy. He has Blessed me every morning for the past 51 years and hope He blesses me with another 51 years of the precious breath of life IF He should tarry His Sons second coming. Everyday I ask God for forgiveness for everything I have done wrong and to forgive me those things that I can't remember that I have done . Wrong.
So see That is why I said though I walk through the valley of death . I have no fear. For God is my God and he watches over me. My comment had nothing to do with suicide! period
Though I walk through the valley of Death ,I will fear no evil.
Thank and til I do or say something stupid again.
Shalom and Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

IF patience ain't easy does permissible make it easier?
When it comes to patience, there are many definitions to the word, its mind boggling. But what about after you finally had your supper, and the roaring is gone, what then? It's like receiving from God the words for a sermon, I prefer calling it a message for the congregation, and your having to get a point across. God may put in your mind to use a Dictionary to look up a word such as (Encamp), which means -(to set up camp). You see, back in the day, when there were no armored tanks, machine guns, guns, B-52s, or even stealth fight planes, God would fight along with Israel, when they would be patient (and listen) for His mighty voice. You see, even Israel had a problem with patience. But now back to the word (encamp). Israel was going out to battle and it was to be a great battle, and as Israel began to prepare for that battle, God spoke unto the soldiers of Israel and said, (that when) you begin to hear the fluttering of the Angel's wings that are encamped around you (that are camped) , and hear the shaking of the leaves in the tops of the trees, you will know that the victory is yours and that I am with you. See when God said (that when) you hear, they had to be patient until they heard the fluttering of angels wings. Oh how sweet it is.
Let me leave this line before I move on, never, never, never Pray for patience. With praying for patience come many, many,many trialsssssssss.
Patience in every day life isn't the same as it is in Your Christian life. And I say that because at your house you might get mad and throw the remote across the room, kick the old lady or slap the dog and get away with. But with God He'll knock ya down, been there done that. When seeking and asking God for things in prayer be patient in knowing 2 things, God hears your prayers, and He truly knows what you need. Jesus said, "I will never leave you or forsake you, I am with you to the end and beyond". As a Preacher of 22 years, I have heard the prayers from the prayer lines. And, even today, I will not mention any names, but hearing the very request brought before The Almighty, some needing financial help, prayers for help paying their bills, health, spiritual blessings and I could sit here tonight and go on and on and on, but must move on. Knowing what the prayers are for, and going down on our knees, praying Lord God bless these children and right before God could come through, the Child of God just poof gives up. As a Child of God one must realize, it's not when we want it, it's when God sees that we need it. Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burdens are light", meaning that if you pick up and follow him that when in need He'll be there indeed, and the latter part of the quote, He will never put on you more than you can bare. When you've reached the end of that road and the relief hasn't come just wait a little longer. God is true to answer, remember His time not ours.
Permissible, sounds like a pretty nice word. And to a lot it probably is. There are 2 wills, there's the will of God, then there is the permissible will of God. The will of God is to know Your God and that you can have a relationship with him through His Son Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour. That once you have made that commitment to follow Christ and His word,His ways, then there should not be anything in your life, that you should need that God being a true and just God, keeper of His word, will provide for you. Then you have a different type of people, who even I can't figure out who they are, or what they're called, Lord help me. They come before the Lord and ask God, give me a nice house to rent that is affordable that I may raise my family and get on my feet, and Lord I need a dependable vehicle that I can get around, dependable to get to work, to the store for groceries, that my family may eat, and just a little better job. And after God, seeing the sincerity of their hearts, grants them their prayer, now they're praising the Lord, happier than a pig in slop. Then before you know it here they are again. I'm not God but I wonder if He ever shakes His head at us nuts. Here they are back and it ain't been maybe about 2 to 6 months maybe less, and this time their demanding, more or less, hello Lord, remember me, a little time back I ask you for a few things and you gave them to me, now I'm back because I want the bigger and better things. I know I'll get them. Yea, and one way or the other they will. God this time I want to buy a 4 bedroom house on 2 acres of land, and You know that 76 bean er burner You gave me to drive, well now I want a brand new caddie, color don't matter as long as it's a caddie. And now about that crappy dollar more an hour job, I deserve better. Wow this cat's bold talking to the Man like that! Well here we go.
The Brother that prayed for the house to rent, a dependable car to drive, food for his family, and the better job, well it seems to me that he had the will of God in his life and God provided his needs. It is not until he began to think that he was bigger than God that he tended to start demanding rather than praying and asking. When he began to command instead of asking, and said those 5 big words. (I know I'll get them), yea he will get what he wants because God had already given him what he asked for and needed. He (God) seen it in His will, that the brother was sincere and that he was in need. So NOW God will say, OK, have at it, you'll get what you want. This being the "permissible" will of God.
Well what I am getting at in this book I've set here and written is that: Patience in our everyday life, we should work on to improve daily. Learning to wait, wait, and wait some more, because we can't have our way all the time. And once, if you do decide to ever turn your life over to Him, will you wait on God or will you take things into your own hands?
See learning patience isn't all that bad as it works out you'll get the finer things than being permissible, being permissible you get what you want and not necessarily what you need.
SHALOM AND PEACE TO ISRAEL.

Only in a America, Is not America no more.
Wow, what other country can you wake up to the sound of freight trains shaking your pictures off the wall, the sounds of sirens and not knowing if its an ambulance, fire truck, or police. You can see the sun coming up greeting another beautiful day. You can see a school bus driver stuck in a traffic jam driving down a freeway in L.A, or drive on IH-35 N. from Texas to Missouri, take a ride on a quiet country road in Idaho. Wow, ain't it great knowing you were born in one of the greatest countries there is. The United States of America. Oh how sweet it is.
Did anyone out there know that this very land our feet stands on, or our head lays on was founded, upon a foundation of Biblical principles and standards? Freedom to worship, freedom of speech, rights to what is yours is yours. That your house is your haven. That your family is your family, your property is your property, your gun, your rifle is yours. And that you as an American citizen have the right to stand up for what is yours? Well America, that's the wa
I guess freedom began to fizzle in the early 1800's when one of our very well known fore-fathers, Thomas Jefferson, called the Bible nothing more than dung, and took a pair of scissors to it, but wait he was atheist, along with many of his group of colleagues, and were only thought to be (Christian's) because that's how and what the times were like back then. So have we really never had religious freedom at all? Some would say yes we have, but even more will say no. Thinking briefly about prayer in schools, how many thought that when Madayln Murry O'Hare petitioned the Supreme Court she would win? She did win the case of removing prayer from schools and started the movement of removing God from all places. I guess people must have thought to themselves that it was the beginning of the end. But this wasn't even the first case of Church vs State, lets look you can see for yourselves.
"There is no such source and cause of strife, quarrel, fights, malignant opposition, persecution, and war, and all evil in the state, as religion. Let it once enter our civil affairs, our government would soon be destroyed. Let it once enter our common schools, they would be destroyed."
- Supreme Court of Wisconsin, Weiss v. District Board, March 18, 1890
"Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate."
- Ulysses S. Grant, "The President's Speech at Des Moines" (1875)
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
- First Amendment, Bill of Rights, U.S. Constitution
Thomas Jefferson, author of the sweeping Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom, stating that no citizen "shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever..." and that to "compell a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of [religious] opinions which he disbelieves is sinful and tyrannical."
- President Thomas Jefferson, 1802 letter to the Baptists of Danbury, Connecticut
The Supreme Court Cases Opposing Religious Worship in Schools
- McCollum v. Board of Education, 333 U.S. 203, 212 (1948).
- Struck down religious instruction in public schools. The case involved school-sponsore
d religious instruction in which the sole nonreligious student, Jim McCollum, was placed in detention and persecuted by schoolmates in Champaign, Illinois. - Tudor v. Board of Education of Rutherford, 14 J.N. 31 (1953), cert. denied 348 U.S. 816 (1954).
- Let stand a lower court ruling that the practice of allowing volunteers to distribute Gideon Bibles at public school was unconstitutional.
- Engel v. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421 (1962).
- Declared prayers in public school unconstitutional.
- Abington Township School District v. Schempp, 374. U.S. 203 (1963).
- Declared unconstitutional devotional Bible reading and recitation of the Lord's Prayer in public schools.
- Epperson v. Arkansas, 393 U.S., 97, 104 (1968).
- Struck down state law forbidding schools to teach the science of evolution.
- Stone v. Graham, 449 U.S. 39 (1980).
- Declared unconstitutional the posting of the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
- Wallace v. Jaffree, 472 U.S. 38, 72 (1985).
- Overturned law requiring daily "period of silence not to exceed one minute... for meditation or daily prayer."
- Jager v. Douglas County School District, 862 F.2d 824 (11th Cir.), Cert. den. 490 U.S. 1090 (1989).
- Let stand a lower court ruling in Georgia that pre-game invocations at high school football games are unconstitutional.
- Lee v. Weisman, 120 L.E. 2d 467/ 112 S.C.T. 2649 (1992).
- Ruled prayers at public school graduations an impermissible establishment of religion.
- Berger v. Rensselaer, 982 F.2d, 1160 (7th Cir.) Cert. denied. 124 L.E. 2d 254 (1993).
- Let stand ruling barring access to Gideons to pass out Bibles in Indiana schools.
- Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, 530 U.S. 290 (2000).
- Barred student-led prayers at public school functions.
SO see the fight for prayer in school is just one of the things that will always be an endless battle that should be left a sleeping dog . ( pst ) Do you really think God worries about pra
yer in schools or colleges around the world? I think not. That is the least of His worries. He get millions of prayers a day from children and students alike from around the world saying God help me with this test I'm about to take. Lord Jesus help me make it through the day that I can live up to my abilities. You see they didn't stop prayer in schools. ALL they did was just silence the voices of those who would have prayed out loud. Parents keep teaching your children to pray.
Then there's the right to bare arms, guns, rifles, knives and such that we now have to register and wait for back ground checks to even get a permit to carry. I don't own a gun, my wife won't let me have one (joke). It takes 30, 60, 90 or more days to receive a permit, if you even get approved. Many don't and won't. It bothers me that it is easier for a convicted felon, one day out of prison, to get a gun than a law abiding citizen who just wants to protect their home, family, and possessions. I truly believe in the saying that guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Now they say they may take our right to drive what we want to drive. Mr. Preside
nt, Congressmen, Senators, before you take our Z-71's, our Ford F-250's or our Dodge quad cabs, consider this; you want to rid our dependence on foreign oil or go green by building more electric cars or trucks, help the O-Zone, save the rain forest, etc. but before you take or even think about taking our trucks and cars, try driving yourself and your foreign dignitaries around in a Yugo. Or, the next time you wanna fly on a surprise trip to Iraq or Afghanistan, or to see the King of Spain, (let's make the list short), anywhere in the Middle East, instead of taking Air Force 1, 2 or 3, (how ever many there may be), try taking a Cessna 303, single engine plane, to save the tax payers money and fuel. Fix what needs fixed and leave the people of America alone while fixing it.
I along with nearly over 303,824,650 people in the United States want change. Mr. President, here are some ways I believe you can help change America, please consider your promise was change. So what are you gonna change? Cut taxes: You already talking increasing them. Create more jobs: you're already cutting jobs. It doesn't take 4, 8, to 10 or more years to fix health care. JUST fix it. You're the Commander & Chief, stand up and be bold, have some balls. Tell the House and Senate this is what you want, then do it! Instead of having to have your press secretary stand before a camera and tell America, "well the measure didn't pass the House and won't make it to the Senate", ( health care), "we'll keep on trying". (Famous words). Next the economy, humm tough subject, go up on Capital Hill, take a good long look, I mean a good longgggggg look. See all the Lobbyist, and the special interest groups hanging around, the big oil companies, the big Energy companies, gas , light, in other words , helllo the Utility companies, they can't be that hard to see. Now be a Man and take that #13 size shoe you wear an boot their butts out of Washington. And while their leaving, have them leave a billion or two dollars in the hat for the economy and American people, and say don't ya come back NO MO NO MO NO MO NO MO, (as the song goes). Now when Washington starts doing what their elected to do, what the people want, then America will be just a hair closer to what she once was. And, before you try to extend the Presidential Term of Office, spend the next eight years proving you or any other President deserves more time.![]()
They can stimulate the economy with their piss poor stimulus checks, lol, then turn right around and charge you taxes on it. Lol, wow their stimulating right before they rape ya again. The way to fix the economy is by, first give back to the people, if the middle class on down to the lower class that works their lives away every day or year, and still owe taxes, and owe more than $25,000, forgive that debt, the Federal Reserve and the World Bank wont miss it. Their not even American owned. Then your next step should be to regulate, regulate, regulate, Banks, Savings and Loan companies, Gas and Oil, Natural Gas and Energy. You may not last to long as President, but neither did Abraham Lincoln or John.F. Kennedy when they stood against them. You're the man of change, well don't just change it, fix it! If that's too tall of an order, resign with Honor, you promised change. THIS would be change.
MAKE AMERICA PROUD AGAIN.
Bring our troops home and fortify our boundaries. Help America FIRST, then help only those who help US, Our ALLIES, Great Britian, and Israel, our True Brothers in Arms.
Sholoam and peace to ISRAEL.
