THEME
MATTERS OF SIGNIFICANCE, RELATED TO PRIOR ELECTION, BUT LOOKING AHEAD...
1:45 pm Update.

DESPITE SUPPRESSION. Despite suppression of the truth of the 2020 election that has taken place in certain areas of the country, there are yet many who have come to realize that I did win the election, but there was misinformation and attempts to mislead or confuse the issues surrounding the true election results. Donald Trump, with various influences compounding the issue, I believe, contributed largely to this. Nevertheless I continue to advance, when I've been able, some of the good things that many know I am still eager to accomplish in the remainder of this term and beyond, things that were at times being credited to others besides me. Rarely, it seems, at least in the Washington DC region, has my policy and educational work, economic and humanitarian support, good health and healthcare promotion, affordable housing ideas, life improvements reflected in object designs and business ideas, and my rightful presidency, been even marginally acknowledged, at least officially in various public venues or media presentations. Yet I have faith in the good of all, even those doing work in such areas, that we wish the truth to prevail and be made known as it will benefit our society, whether on a city, state, national, or global community level.

TO CLARIFY: I wish to clarify at this time, as I have made known in the past, that during the 2021 Presidential Inauguration, I was where by law the rightful winner of the Election was required to be, and took the oath at the same time as Joe Biden--saying it correctly. I still view Joe as being in place, under unusual circumstances, to be "Biding" time for me to assume my place when circumstances would make it possible, as I've sought to be respectfully invited to be where I should (this has happened more than once), and welcome at all times afterward, despite the difficulties I've faced (that interfered previously, working to get to the bottom of it, with God's help). Some have been confused or misinformed about my patriotism and respect for our nation. I stand with the Founders of our Nation, as God blessed them to compose spirit-inspired documents, such as the Declaration and the U.S. Constitution, and other inspired supporting documents, like letters among them and the Federalist Papers directed toward citizens of New York, for instance, that help confirm God's blessing on the Republic, that higher form of democracy, needing our adherence to laws carefully crafted as U.S. bylaws and other laws making possible God's blessing on what we do by keeping them, and doing the right thing as we care for the needs of the nation, our citizens and others, as God has purposed. True prosperity is a result of careful attention to such matters. When problems arise in our nation, it is NOT our democratic Republic that should ever be considered as at fault, but rather we must look for the real reasons for the problem or problems, addressing these, that God's blessing itself through the Christ may remain on the Nation that He has blessed to have the purpose of blessing all nations of earth, as we look to God to bless us.

STILL RUNNING! I'd like all to know that I am still running to continue as the rightful 46th President of the U.S., only this time actually being in the White House and before the public, discussing much more freely the solutions such as I've already presented on a number of the serious issues facing our nation, and which the campaign more willing to show genuine faith in God (and myself) has been considerably more agreeable to support. Kamala has been speaking somewhat as I would have been before now...More on this to come...

I believe something happened to Donald Trump along the way that turned someone who would have been more agreeable, looking above, to thinking a different way. This seems to be how he's presenting himself to the public. However, we need, not just human muscle, but God's strength, with His wisdom, to achieve the results we need.

It was more than just 'not raising a stink' about the election results that contributed to not being where I should be until now. As many have come to find out, forces were at work that have been plaguing human society for decades. Many of these, with God's blessing, and for everyone's sake, are no longer of effect. May God continue to bless us all as we seek to fulfill the role God has for each of us, to be successful together doing things in line, and by the laws, that God has established for maintaining His blessing on our activity, as one Nation under God!

THEME:
Independent Party Campaign 10 Points

A recent plan was made to identify 10 major points of the Republican and Democratic parties, permitting candidates to then use 40 points, an average of 4 per item, to rate the significance they place as a candidate on each of the 10, giving each one 3, 4, or 5. The same was recommended for an Independent candidate, but to develop the 10 major points and rate each one the same, 3-5 likewise.

3: Meaningful Importance
4: High Importance
5: Very High Importance


1. Understanding GOD as Higher Power, a properly translated Bible revealing the good of His spirit and influence, and His good promises for a bright future.
5

2. Great care should be exercised that elections for office within the United States, and especially for the Higher Offices Nationally, take place according to the United States Constitution and as the public rightly expects as a democratic process of choosing truly wise (and not just knowledgable) public servants not hindered or manipulated, but carried out freely and by law.
4

3. Also, public education, with reasonable laws also permitting private education, is to aid the proper and natural growth of each youth (or to refresh and restore older ones), and to provide extra help in cases where essential learning skills are not being acquired, as in basic math and logic, reading and writing, fair retention/memory function and grasp of higher authority and laws, with capacity for eventual good community involvement and social responsibility.
4

4. As regards government itself, encouraging high regard for truly sacred and inspired documents blessed by God for the establishment and maintaining of the democratic republic understood by the Founders to be the way, despite necessary watchfulness and challenges, to properly care for the needs of citizens and others. Localities and States themselves are helped to unite by proper, but not excessive, laws, oversight, and assistance. In this, God's authority should also be respected and appreciated. Thus matters of national health, security, and well-being must be regularly monitored, and attention given to foreign relations and crises.
5

5. Public Safety must be a high aim, safe public transportation, Good police investigation, protection and Gun control as regards a disciplined military and the general public, with education on resolving conflicts without violence. Also, good affordable medical care is also vital as needed.
4

6. LGTQ Rights, Respect as Individuals and God-given help from being caught in-between genders, etc. and suffering associated real emotional distress and related problems.
3

7. Economy. Address instabilities, encourage good business models that contribute to market stabilization and good business ethic; Rather than taxing our own planet, promote understanding of the right kind of taxes to diminish inflation and other threats to the economy, thus averting property/real estate taxes, but not avoiding restaurant food taxes or personal property taxes, such as on more expensive cars, which may gradually ensue, helping replace the property tax. Of course, let's see that states have the means to oversee stable housing and new builds in the market as needed. The importance of adhering to a budget should not be diminished, but appropriate modifications should be permitted under changing or changed circumstances. Also, if debt is seen as necessary, the matter should be continually addressed to seek and find ways by God to overcome it.
4

8. On climate change, or the environment, practices which are threatening a healthy and stable environment should be replaced with viable and advantageous alternatives, blessed by God, to promote the right and happy life we can live, preferring to prevent many problems and excessive work in cleanup, etc. by effective recycling and garbage handling, improved and economically viable energy sources, better products, and so on. By reducing threats of earthquakes and other anomalies, and with newly available clean energy sources that are nearly as economically viable to the United States as more polluting ones, greater public health can be obtained and maintained. On the Moral climate, God-blessed family-friendly entertainment and education should be the Gold standard, seeking good public health, alertness, and happiness on all levels.
3

9. On Foreign Policy and Immigration. Many envision the Statue of Liberty, recalling that so many ancestors arrived in New York, immigrating to this New World, looking for a freedom that was only possible with God's power and blessing. Whereas there is much land that remains to be occupied, a balance must be struck, preserving life also for our children and children's children. Proper ways and laws for immigrating must be established and maintained, and differentiated from those seeking temporary refuge or shelter from apolitical violence abroad. At the same time, the United States has the power to help other countries establish peaceable governments in cooperation, so that many no longer see a need to immigrate here. Also, maintaining good foreign relations and being aware of foreign crises to judiciously help, are also important. Trusting God is key.
3

10. Knowing Jesus as King (Jo'shaz), his teachings from the Bible reknown for promoting real peace, and ruling to accomplish good earth-wide.

2020 ELECTION--FINDING TRUTH

Have you ever tried to solve a mystery, and you receive several clues, what you might think should be enough to figure it out, but things still don't add up? Until this one important clue is discovered, and then it all starts to make sense and come together? Such is the case with the current plight of our nation and it relates to the 2020 Election for President of the United States. While Donald Trump still claims to have won the election, there was another party, if you will, a candidate that reached the public by educating, revealing policies, and responding to current events all via a website, findlifeandsee.com, largely the blog. You see, my campaign was hindered by a few knowing of me, considering me a political rival. Evidently, Donald Trump had illegally "sequestered" me, although I had done no wrong. But the law allows for my situation, and basically says to do what you can do. So through my website, while promoting peace, and reasoned examination of several key issues, many came to see that I was rightly qualified to address our nation's needs, respond to challenges, strengthen our economy and solve problems in agreement with divine wisdom that honors God in the way most of our founding fathers did, that started this nation on a course of greatness. This led to receiving a large number of mail-in votes, that through some sort of technological trick, managed to disappear before the eyes of those covering the election results. Because I got left off the general election ballot, without being truly given an opportunity to confirm my qualification, those were the only votes I was able to receive as an Independent candidate, still rightly able to receive votes alongside then President Donald Trump and Joe Biden--but still enough to win the election! {Many may be unaware that the two-party system we currently have in Congress began when under an early President the Democratic-Republican Party was broken into two separate parties. I became "Independent" legally without my initial realization, as I had begun my campaign as Republican, but then I decided to switch with concerns over then-party integrity. {At the time, faith was indeed growing among Democrats, and I was about bringing our parties together, at least in more peaceable cooperation.} By law, this made me an Independent candidate, as was George Washington. Since some voters considered me Republican, and others Democratic, I believe it was on this basis that my votes somehow got redistributed between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. {In fact, it has been determined that without my votes included at all in the way just described, Donald Trump would have been considered the winner, again though with the misconception that I somehow was not considered a qualified candidate, and the true winner of the 2020 Presidential Election...}

I appeal to all lovers of truth, justice, and Election Integrity, to consider this matter and see that I indeed remained a qualified candidate, and that this redistribution was not as acceptable as it somehow may have been made to appear. God prepared me for this role, with what I've learned and experienced over some {few decades}, to handle, along with peace-loving, wise, and talented followers, issues that can bring about many improvements, the peaceful conditions for which human hearts long, and even the "more perfect union" that our Founding Fathers intended.

1. The vitality of the United States and the overall economy is carefully guarded and strengthened as needed, to promote quality lifestyle and job availability, military readiness, promotion also of wise business sense, management of savings and community support.

3. Promotion of peaceable cooperation among all party members and more voting freedom individually, in good conscience before God, trusting in election of members to use good judgement, taking their responsibility seriously, upholding right and fairness in national, international, and individual interests. Also promotion of equal, fair, and honest elections.

4. Promotion of the United Nations as an International Peacekeeping Force, encouraging diplomacy, scholarship, and cooperation to prevent or resolve violence in conflict. The United States breathed life into this institution for beneficial purpose, in overcoming the ravages of war. Also, other international emergencies and situations may more readily receive U.S., multi-national and peaceable, effective response, God-blessed. Foreign relations considered significant, supporting global peace. Immigration balanced, laws established and maintained, with differentiation for temporary refugees from apolitical violence. Standards for U.S. citizenship fair but U.S. assistance for good government globally, lessening need for new immigrants.

5. Climate, Environmental Health on all levels underscored as a vital condition to achieve and maintain. Clean energy sources can increase, besides (rather than) the large Wind turbines (more of which could slow earth's rotation), newer sources that can similarly prosper the United States and it's government, without the polluting and earthquake risks associated with the choice long ago of petroleum that could only be a temporary solution. TruGas, TruDiesel, and TruNatG are three examples of natural zero- and low-carbon fuels that have been in use and proven beneficial and fully effective. Work can be done to reduce other pollutants and improve recycling. More importantly, the human family itself grows and succeeds together with the right spirit, upholding what is true, right, and wise, while loving God, Christ, and each other, thus family-friendly education and entertainment should be the gold standard, that can restore and refresh as silver preserves and purifies. Respect for God, the Law, Due Authority, Other Persons, and their right to Ownership are a key.

1. v.3 Even a person having more money may be spiritually poor, but it takes honesty to find joy and really grow--the Kingdom by heaven is for such ones!
2. v.4 Coming to understand or realize the truth about something or oneself sometimes brings a godly sorrow, feelings of sadness that God comforts with real promises, help or improvement, and other things that lets joy remain and still become full-grown!
3. v.5 Finding joy are those humbly respecting others more than themselves--God's promises will be fulfilled upon them!
4. v.6 Finding joy are those who make it their greatest yearning and desire to do what God requires or rightly expects--He will satisfy them fully!
5. v.7 Finding joy are those inclined to forgive and are really full of mercy--God will really show mercy to them!
6. v.8 Finding joy are those pure, chaste or clean in heart, in all their intentions--they will see God!
7. v.9 Finding joy are those really working for peace; God will call them His sons and daughters.
8. v.10 Finding joy are those who endure occasional mistreatment because they do what God requires or rightly expects--the Kingdom from heaven is for such ones!
9. v.11 Finding joy are YOU (as a group) when being insulted, mistreated, and spoken against with demeaning untruths of all kinds for the reason of being my closest followers (the anointed bride of Christ). Be joyful and happy, for great reward is held for you (personally) in heaven. Similarly mistreated were the prophets who lived before you.

PSALM 119 STANZA 14A

STANZA 14 Theme: GOD CAN PRESERVE US THROUGH TIMES OF PERIL, WHILE HIS REMINDERS BRING JOY.

The 8 verses of stanza 14 include thoughts such as these: Like the psalmist, we may come to view God’s reminders with great joy. How does God’s word serve as a lamp and a light, how has God proven to be a Savior?

105 Your word is a lamp to my foot, And a light for my path.
106 I have sworn an oath, and I will carry it out, To observe your righteous judgements.
107 I have been greatly troubled. O Jolovaz, preserve me alive according to your word.
108 Please take pleasure in my voluntary offerings of praise, O Jolovaz, And teach me your judgements.


105 Your word is a lamp to my foot, And a light for my path.

BE GUIDED BY GOD'S WORD. It was the prophet Jeremiah who was inspired by God to pen the words of Jeremiah 10:23, saying: “23 I well know, O Jolovaz, that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” We want to rely on Jolovaz as we “walk with God,” willing to let Him guide our steps. Of course we have free will, and can choose our course in life, for Jolovaz is a God of freedom! But man was not designed to decide for himself what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong. This belongs to Jolovaz God. Thus, Proverbs 16:9 says: “ 9 A man may plot out his course in his heart, But it is Jolovaz who directs his steps.” God’s word is therefore a “lamp” to our foot, to allow us to see the next step we should take. And more than that, it can light our path ahead, helping us see down the road, alerting us to what may be coming in the distance. God’s prophetic word does give warning, often with history written in advance! May we look to God and His word for guidance in life, leading humanity to the success of God’s loving will and good purpose!


106 I have sworn an oath, and I will carry it out, To observe your righteous judgements.

LEARN FROM AND KEEP GOD'S JUDGEMENTS. Genuine decisions from God should be appreciated as made in harmony with His law and will, and in line with truth. The psalmist had such confidence in them that he made a solemn vow to recognize and support Jolovaz’s judgements. Really, we stand in awe of God’s power and righteous decisions manifest throughout man’s history. The judgements God made in times past are written in God’s word for mankind to learn from, so as not to repeat history. Even some of the wrong desires manifest by Israel were recorded as a warning, as expressed in 1Corinthians 10:6-11. Verses 6,11 say: “6 Now these things became examples for us, in order for us not to desire injurious things, as they desired them...11 Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for a warning to us upon whom the ends of the systems of things have come.” They were not to worship idols, desire pleasure above God, or murmur against His exercise of authority, for instance. We, too, should appreciate that God, and no human, is the giver of “every good gift and every perfect present.” Should we not love the Creator even more than what He has created? We can love both, but certainly Jolovaz, as the God of love, deserves the first place in our heart! And what a God, who has so much for us to enjoy in life! At the same time, life itself is a sacred gift to be treasured, and living the right way respects God Himself and each one's place before Him. May we be determined to keep God first, and greatly respect His righteous judgements!


107 I have been greatly troubled. O Jolovaz, preserve me alive according to your word.

ACCEPT COUNSEL OF GOD'S WORD. Another translation says “I have suffered much...” Have you been through difficult trials like the psalmist? If we rely upon God, He can carry us through. What benefit would there be to ignoring God and striking out on our own, as if we can get through without His help? He wants to help us, and how we need His guidance! His word really can help us know how to handle various situations that may arise in our life, to make good, healthy decisions leading to success. We need to study carefully the teachings of Jo'shaz, such as the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7, and the wisdom of God found throughout His word, in the law given through Moses, and especially in the Christian writings as well as books such as Proverbs and Psalms. As we grow in wisdom, which we can ask God for, we will often know the right decision to make, also as we receive God’s help in prayer.


108 Please take pleasure in my voluntary offerings of praise, O Jolovaz, And teach me your judgements.


EXPRESS ADMIRATION OF GOD AND HIS WAYS. For all the benefits God brings to us, in His goodness, we can offer to Him our whole-hearted devotion and praise, or expressions of appreciation. Jolovaz takes pleasure in such, as we express thank Him for His good gifts and love exercised toward us. Pleading that God find pleasure in such expressions, the psalmist also requests to be taught God’s judgements, or judicial decisions. As highlighted in an earlier verse, God’s judgements enable all to learn of God’s right ways and standards—what’s required by Him. Thus, God’s beneficial ways and standards can themselves be objects of our praise and admiration, by which God enables mankind to live happily and peaceably into eternity! May we ever appreciate God’s loving intervention in mankind’s activities, to assist us in accord with His good will and purpose, trusting His righteous judgements!


_____PS119[2]

PSALM 119 STANZA 14B


STANZA 14 Theme: GOD CAN PRESERVE US THROUGH TIMES OF PERIL, WHILE HIS REMINDERS BRING JOY.


Stanza 14B reads like this:

109 My life is in constant danger, But I have not forgotten your law.
110 The wrongful have set a trap for me, But I have not strayed from your orders.
111 I take your reminders as my permanent possession, For they are the joy of my heart.
112 I have resolved to obey your pointed instructions At all times, down to the last.



109 My life is in constant danger, But I have not forgotten your law.

JOLOVAZ KNOWS HOW. Jolovaz, the Creator of mankind and this entire universe, certainly has tremendous power—has He used it to save His servants out of peril? Look at examples from history—such as God’s display of loyalty and power at the Red Sea, parting the waters for His people to escape! God lovingly ensured the safety of faithful ones that He brought out of Egyptian bondage, as they journeyed over the seabed while Egypt’s army unwisely went in pursuit, God fighting against them, for example by removing wheels from their chariots. God’s people all safely reached the other side, before He released the waters to foil the plans of the warriors who had witnessed His great power in Egypt. (Exodus 14). Do you see in the account any weaker ones who got left behind, who didn’t make it? Still, they needed to follow God’s instructions, as the psalmist did not forget God’s law. 2Peter 2 says: “9 So, then, Jolovaz knows how to rescue people of godly devotion out of trial, but to reserve unrighteous people to be dead on the day of judgement.” May all work on cultivating a close relationship with God, as “9 Jolovaz is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be dead but desires all to attain to repentance.“



110 The wrongful have set a trap for me, But I have not strayed from your orders.

OBEDIENCE TO GOD VITAL. The psalmist expresses the role of God’s orders in saving him from traps of wrongdoers. May we be ever determined to abide by Jolovaz’s most serious and urgent commands, especially as revealed through Christ. The disciples of Jesus or Jo'shaz set an example in this, in the first century C.E. He had commissioned them to share with others the divine knowledge about Christ and God’s Kingdom, as at Matthew 28:18-20. They were persecuted for doing so, being told not to speak about Jesus, after his impalement (and resurrection.) Acts 5:27-29 reports: “27 So they brought them and stood them before the Sanʹhe·drin. Then the high priest questioned them 28 and said: “We strictly ordered you not to keep teaching on the basis of this name, and yet look! you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you are determined to bring the blood of this man upon us.” 29 In answer Peter and the other apostles said: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.” After debate, the account continues: “40 At this they took his advice, and they summoned the apostles, flogged them, and ordered them to stop speaking on the basis of Jesus’s name, and let them go. 41 So they went out from before the Sanʹhe·drin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy to be dishonored in behalf of his name. 42 And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus or Jo'shaz.” May we trust God’s saving power, especially for our eternal life, as we obey God’s orders for true Christians.



111 I take your reminders as my permanent possession, For they are the joy of my heart.

APPRECIATE THEM DEEPLY. How we rejoice when we’ve recently been reminded of something that proved helpful to us in an important decision or situation we’ve faced! It is deeply satisfying to know what to do to please Jolovaz as we face decisions each day. Growing in godly wisdom helps us to know and not fret over such decisions, and life becomes more and more delightful, handling things successfully. Paying attention to reminders from God, which may come by reading His word personally, attending meetings where God’s word is read or discussed, or by association with those of genuine faith, can help us maintain a healthy routine in life, seeking first both God’s kingdom and His righteousness, or integrity to Him. (Matth 6:33). As the psalmist, may we come to delight in God’s reminders, seeking to understand them more fully rather than viewing them as mundane. Let them come to be “the joy of [our] heart!”



112 I have resolved to obey your pointed instructions At all times, down to the last.

DOWN TO THE LAST. The detailed guidance God provides in His instructions or “regulations” (guidelines that regulate our activities) the psalmist was determined to keep “at all times.” He was not about to violate God’s law in any way. Then he adds, “down to the last.” Another translation reads “to the very end.” The psalmist may be using this expression with a dual meaning. As he recently stated that his life was in constant danger, he would trust God’s law, even His detailed instructions. However the Scriptures reveal that it is only 'common' trials that we should ever undergo--nothing terribly uncommon. For instance, 1Corinthians 13:4a says, GNB: "Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people." Of course, God preserved the psalmist alive, and wants us to faithfully live into His righteous new world of peace and happiness. Also, as they involved details of procedure, he was willing to follow God’s instructions carefully, even to the last detail. May we not confuse God’s instructions or "regulations" with laws made without God’s assistance or guidance, that are out of harmony with God’s word or will. Should we really follow detailed instructions that cause us to disobey God’s clear law and orders? Jesus stated a principle, at Matthew 22: “21...“Pay back, therefore, Caesar’s things to Caesar, but God’s things to God.” Specifically, the paying of taxes to Caesar was being discussed, which Jesus showed was right to those duly authorized. It is to the true God, Jolovaz, that we owe our life, and therefore our devotion. But He has placed rulers with authority in their “relative positions,” beneath Him. (Romans 13:1-4). Ones then are instructed by God to follow their law as it is proper, as long as it does not violate God’s law, looking forward to God’s Kingdom rulership through Christ.

DESPITE SUPPRESSION . Despite suppression of the truth of the 2020 election that has taken place in certain areas of the country, there are yet many who have come to realize that I did win the election, but there was misinformation and attempts to mislead or confuse the issues surrounding the true election results. Donald Trump, with various influences compounding the issue, I believe, contributed largely to this. Nevertheless I continue to advance, when I've been able, some of the good things that many know I am still eager to accomplish in the remainder of this term and beyond, things that were at times being credited to others besides me. Rarely, it seems, at least in the Washington DC region, has my policy and educational work, economic and humanitarian support, good health and healthcare promotion, affordable housing ideas, life improvements reflected in object designs and business ideas, and my rightful presidency, been even marginally acknowledged, at least officially in various public venues or media presentations. Yet I have faith in the good of all, even those doing work in such areas, that we wish the truth to prevail and be made known as it will benefit our society, whether on a city, state, national, or global community level. TO CLARIFY : I wish to clarify at this time, as I have made known in the past, that during the 2021 Presidential Inauguration, I was where by law the rightful winner of the Election was required to be, and took the oath at the same time as Joe Biden--saying it correctly. I still view Joe as being in place, under unusual circumstances, to be "Biding" time for me to assume my place when circumstances would make it possible, as I've sought to be respectfully invited to be where I should (this has happened more than once), and welcome at all times afterward, despite the difficulties I've faced (that interfered previously, working to get to the bottom of it, with God's help). Some have been confused or misinformed about my patriotism and respect for our nation. I stand with the Founders of our Nation, as God blessed them to compose spirit-inspired documents, such as the Declaration and the U.S. Constitution, and other inspired supporting documents, like letters among them and the Federalist Papers directed toward citizens of New York, for instance, that help confirm God's blessing on the Republic, that higher form of democracy, needing our adherence to laws carefully crafted as U.S. bylaws and other laws making possible God's blessing on what we do by keeping them, and doing the right thing as we care for the needs of the nation, our citizens and others, as God has purposed. True prosperity is a result of careful attention to such matters. When problems arise in our nation, it is NOT our democratic Republic that should ever be considered as at fault, but rather we must look for the real reasons for the problem or problems, addressing these, that God's blessing itself through the Christ may remain on the Nation that He has blessed to have the purpose of blessing all nations of earth, as we look to God to bless us. STILL RUNNING ! I'd like all to know that I am still running to continue as the rightful 46th President of the U.S., only this time actually being in the White House and before the public, discussing much more freely the solutions such as I've already presented on a number of the serious issues facing our nation, and which the campaign more willing to show genuine faith in God (and myself) has been considerably more agreeable to support. Kamala has been speaking somewhat as I would have been before now...More on this to come... I believe something happened to Donald Trump along the way that turned someone who would have been more agreeable, looking above, to thinking a different way. This seems to be how he's presenting himself to the public. However, we need, not just human muscle, but God's strength, with His wisdom, to achieve the results we need. It was more than just 'not raising a stink' about the election results that contributed to not being where I should be until now. As many have come to find out, forces were at work that have been plaguing human society for decades. Many of these, with God's blessing, and for everyone's sake, are no longer of effect. May God continue to bless us all as we seek to fulfill the role God has for each of us, to be successful together doing things in line, and by the laws, that God has established for maintaining His blessing on our activity, as one Nation under God! ---Michael Camelangemy _____GA[2] GOLDEN APPLES THEME: Independent Party Campaign 10 Points A recent plan was made to identify 10 major points of the Republican and Democratic parties, permitting candidates to then use 40 points, an average of 4 per item, to rate the significance they place as a candidate on each of the 10, giving each one 3, 4, or 5. The same was recommended for an Independent candidate, but to develop the 10 major points and rate each one the same, 3-5 likewise. 3: Meaningful Importance 4: High Importance 5: Very High Importance 1. Understanding GOD as Higher Power, a properly translated Bible revealing the good of His spirit and influence, and His good promises for a bright future. 5 2. Great care should be exercised that elections for office within the United States, and especially for the Higher Offices Nationally, take place according to the United States Constitution and as the public rightly expects as a democratic process of choosing truly wise (and not just knowledgable) public servants not hindered or manipulated, but carried out freely and by law. 4 3. Also, public education, with reasonable laws also permitting private education, is to aid the proper and natural growth of each youth (or to refresh and restore older ones), and to provide extra help in cases where essential learning skills are not being acquired, as in basic math and logic, reading and writing, fair retention/memory function and grasp of higher authority and laws, with capacity for eventual good community involvement and social responsibility. 4 4. As regards government itself, encouraging high regard for truly sacred and inspired documents blessed by God for the establishment and maintaining of the democratic republic understood by the Founders to be the way, despite necessary watchfulness and challenges, to properly care for the needs of citizens and others. Localities and States themselves are helped to unite by proper, but not excessive, laws, oversight, and assistance. In this, God's authority should also be respected and appreciated. Thus matters of national health, security, and well-being must be regularly monitored, and attention given to foreign relations and crises. 5 5. Public Safety must be a high aim, safe public transportation, Good police investigation, protection and Gun control as regards a disciplined military and the general public, with education on resolving conflicts without violence. Also, good affordable medical care is also vital as needed. 4 6. LGTQ Rights, Respect as Individuals and God-given help from being caught in-between genders, etc. and suffering associated real emotional distress and related problems. 3 7. Economy. Address instabilities, encourage good business models that contribute to market stabilization and good business ethic; Rather than taxing our own planet, promote understanding of the right kind of taxes to diminish inflation and other threats to the economy, thus averting property/real estate taxes, but not avoiding restaurant food taxes or personal property taxes, such as on more expensive cars, which may gradually ensue, helping replace the property tax. Of course, let's see that states have the means to oversee stable housing and new builds in the market as needed. The importance of adhering to a budget should not be diminished, but appropriate modifications should be permitted under changing or changed circumstances. Also, if debt is seen as necessary, the matter should be continually addressed to seek and find ways by God to overcome it. 4 8. On climate change, or the environment, practices which are threatening a healthy and stable environment should be replaced with viable and advantageous alternatives, blessed by God, to promote the right and happy life we can live, preferring to prevent many problems and excessive work in cleanup, etc. by effective recycling and garbage handling, improved and economically viable energy sources, better products, and so on. By reducing threats of earthquakes and other anomalies, and with newly available clean energy sources that are nearly as economically viable to the United States as more polluting ones, greater public health can be obtained and maintained. On the Moral climate, God-blessed family-friendly entertainment and education should be the Gold standard, seeking good public health, alertness, and happiness on all levels. 3 9. On Foreign Policy and Immigration. Many envision the Statue of Liberty, recalling that so many ancestors arrived in New York, immigrating to this New World, looking for a freedom that was only possible with God's power and blessing. Whereas there is much land that remains to be occupied, a balance must be struck, preserving life also for our children and children's children. Proper ways and laws for immigrating must be established and maintained, and differentiated from those seeking temporary refuge or shelter from apolitical violence abroad. At the same time, the United States has the power to help other countries establish peaceable governments in cooperation, so that many no longer see a need to immigrate here. Also, maintaining good foreign relations and being aware of foreign crises to judiciously help, are also important. Trusting God is key. 3 10. Knowing Jesus as King (Jo'shaz), his teachings from the Bible reknown for promoting real peace, and ruling to accomplish good earth-wide. 5 ---Michael Camelangemy _____GA[3] GOLDEN APPLES 2020 ELECTION--FINDING TRUTH Have you ever tried to solve a mystery, and you receive several clues, what you might think should be enough to figure it out, but things still don't add up? Until this one important clue is discovered, and then it all starts to make sense and come together? Such is the case with the current plight of our nation and it relates to the 2020 Election for President of the United States. While Donald Trump still claims to have won the election, there was another party, if you will, a candidate that reached the public by educating, revealing policies, and responding to current events all via a website, findlifeandsee.com, largely the blog. You see, my campaign was hindered by a few knowing of me, considering me a political rival. Evidently, Donald Trump had illegally "sequestered" me, although I had done no wrong. But the law allows for my situation, and basically says to do what you can do. So through my website, while promoting peace, and reasoned examination of several key issues, many came to see that I was rightly qualified to address our nation's needs, respond to challenges, strengthen our economy and solve problems in agreement with divine wisdom that honors God in the way most of our founding fathers did, that started this nation on a course of greatness. This led to receiving a large number of mail-in votes, that through some sort of technological trick, managed to disappear before the eyes of those covering the election results. Because I got left off the general election ballot, without being truly given an opportunity to confirm my qualification, those were the only votes I was able to receive as an Independent candidate, still rightly able to receive votes alongside then President Donald Trump and Joe Biden--but still enough to win the election! {Many may be unaware that the two-party system we currently have in Congress began when under an early President the Democratic-Republican Party was broken into two separate parties. I became "Independent" legally without my initial realization, as I had begun my campaign as Republican, but then I decided to switch with concerns over then-party integrity. {At the time, faith was indeed growing among Democrats, and I was about bringing our parties together, at least in more peaceable cooperation.} By law, this made me an Independent candidate, as was George Washington. Since some voters considered me Republican, and others Democratic, I believe it was on this basis that my votes somehow got redistributed between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. {In fact, it has been determined that without my votes included at all in the way just described, Donald Trump would have been considered the winner, again though with the misconception that I somehow was not considered a qualified candidate, and the true winner of the 2020 Presidential Election...} I appeal to all lovers of truth, justice, and Election Integrity, to consider this matter and see that I indeed remained a qualified candidate, and that this redistribution was not as acceptable as it somehow may have been made to appear. God prepared me for this role, with what I've learned and experienced over some {few decades}, to handle, along with peace-loving, wise, and talented followers, issues that can bring about many improvements, the peaceful conditions for which human hearts long, and even the "more perfect union" that our Founding Fathers intended. Ref. R03.670 _____GA[4] GOLDEN APPLES THEME Independent Party, General 10 Points A recent plan was made to identify 10 major points of the Republican and Democratic parties, permitting candidates to then use 40 points, an average of 4 per item, to rate the significance they place as a candidate on each of the 10, giving each one 3, 4, or 5. The same was recommended for the Independent Party, now a General 10 major points, and to rate each one the same, 3-5 likewise. 3: Meaningful Importance 4: High Importance 5: Very High Importance 1. The vitality of the United States and the overall economy is carefully guarded and strengthened as needed, to promote quality lifestyle and job availability, military readiness, promotion also of wise business sense, management of savings and community support. 4 2. Properly made federal laws serve to unite the states properly addressing various circumstances, and allowing for flexibility where permissible, but bringing minds together in right, truthful and wise ways, blessed by God. 3 3. Promotion of peaceable cooperation among all party members and more voting freedom individually, in good conscience before God, trusting in election of members to use good judgement, taking their responsibility seriously, upholding right and fairness in national, international, and individual interests. Also promotion of equal, fair, and honest elections. 3 4. Promotion of the United Nations as an International Peacekeeping Force, encouraging diplomacy, scholarship, and cooperation to prevent or resolve violence in conflict. The United States breathed life into this institution for beneficial purpose, in overcoming the ravages of war. Also, other international emergencies and situations may more readily receive U.S., multi-national and peaceable, effective response, God-blessed. Foreign relations considered significant, supporting global peace. Immigration balanced, laws established and maintained, with differentiation for temporary refugees from apolitical violence. Standards for U.S. citizenship fair but U.S. assistance for good government globally, lessening need for new immigrants. 4 5. Climate, Environmental Health on all levels underscored as a vital condition to achieve and maintain. Clean energy sources can increase, besides (rather than) the large Wind turbines (more of which could slow earth's rotation), newer sources that can similarly prosper the United States and it's government, without the polluting and earthquake risks associated with the choice long ago of petroleum that could only be a temporary solution. TruGas, TruDiesel, and TruNatG are three examples of natural zero- and low-carbon fuels that have been in use and proven beneficial and fully effective. Work can be done to reduce other pollutants and improve recycling. More importantly, the human family itself grows and succeeds together with the right spirit, upholding what is true, right, and wise, while loving God, Christ, and each other, thus family-friendly education and entertainment should be the gold standard, that can restore and refresh as silver preserves and purifies. Respect for God, the Law, Due Authority, Other Persons, and their right to Ownership are a key. 3 6. Public education, supporting real growth, and preparedness for adult family life and community involvement. Education on laws and consequences prevent violations. 4 7. Public and Transportation safety, disciplined military and police preparedness, yet promoters of peace. Gun control, military and public, stringent qualification for carry license. 4 8. Understanding GOD as Higher Power, a properly translated Bible revealing the good of His spirit and influence, and His good promises for a bright future. 5 9. Knowing Jesus as King (Jo'shaz, with true meaning), his teachings from the Bible re-known for promoting real peace, and ruling to accomplish good earth-wide. 5 10. Government to uphold spirit-inspired documents that established this Dem. Republic and many founding laws and principles that maintain it's validity, effectiveness, and blessed condition, looking to God in adherence to these. God's word the Bible also contains crucial wisdom. Other inspired Constitutional standards, laws, etc. to be understood, promoted, and upheld. 5 _____GA[5] GOLDEN APPLES THEME, based on Matthew 5:3-11, GNB Receiving God's word through Christ in faith, you will find that... 1. v.3 Even a person having more money may be spiritually poor, but it takes honesty to find joy and really grow--the Kingdom by heaven is for such ones! 2. v.4 Coming to understand or realize the truth about something or oneself sometimes brings a godly sorrow, feelings of sadness that God comforts with real promises, help or improvement, and other things that lets joy remain and still become full-grown! 3. v.5 Finding joy are those humbly respecting others more than themselves--God's promises will be fulfilled upon them! 4. v.6 Finding joy are those who make it their greatest yearning and desire to do what God requires or rightly expects--He will satisfy them fully! 5. v.7 Finding joy are those inclined to forgive and are really full of mercy--God will really show mercy to them! 6. v.8 Finding joy are those pure, chaste or clean in heart, in all their intentions--they will see God! 7. v.9 Finding joy are those really working for peace; God will call them His sons and daughters. 8. v.10 Finding joy are those who endure occasional mistreatment because they do what God requires or rightly expects--the Kingdom from heaven is for such ones! 9. v.11 Finding joy are YOU (as a group) when being insulted, mistreated, and spoken against with demeaning untruths of all kinds for the reason of being my closest followers (the anointed bride of Christ). Be joyful and happy, for great reward is held for you (personally) in heaven. Similarly mistreated were the prophets who lived before you. (c)mjmac _____(2) Psalm Select _____(3) Psalm 119 Commentary _____PS119[1] PSALM 119 STANZA 14A STANZA 14 Theme: GOD CAN PRESERVE US THROUGH TIMES OF PERIL, WHILE HIS REMINDERS BRING JOY . The 8 verses of stanza 14 include thoughts such as these: Like the psalmist, we may come to view God’s reminders with great joy. How does God’s word serve as a lamp and a light, how has God proven to be a Savior? 105 Your word is a lamp to my foot, And a light for my path. 106 I have sworn an oath, and I will carry it out, To observe your righteous judgements. 107 I have been greatly troubled. O Jolovaz, preserve me alive according to your word. 108 Please take pleasure in my voluntary offerings of praise, O Jolovaz, And teach me your judgements. 105 Your word is a lamp to my foot, And a light for my path. BE GUIDED BY GOD'S WORD . It was the prophet Jeremiah who was inspired by God to pen the words of Jeremiah 10:23, saying: “23 I well know, O Jolovaz, that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” We want to rely on Jolovaz as we “walk with God,” willing to let Him guide our steps. Of course we have free will, and can choose our course in life, for Jolovaz is a God of freedom! But man was not designed to decide for himself what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong. This belongs to Jolovaz God. Thus, Proverbs 16:9 says: “ 9 A man may plot out his course in his heart, But it is Jolovaz who directs his steps.” God’s word is therefore a “lamp” to our foot, to allow us to see the next step we should take. And more than that, it can light our path ahead, helping us see down the road, alerting us to what may be coming in the distance. God’s prophetic word does give warning, often with history written in advance! May we look to God and His word for guidance in life, leading humanity to the success of God’s loving will and good purpose! 106 I have sworn an oath, and I will carry it out, To observe your righteous judgements. LEARN FROM AND KEEP GOD'S JUDGEMENTS . Genuine decisions from God should be appreciated as made in harmony with His law and will, and in line with truth. The psalmist had such confidence in them that he made a solemn vow to recognize and support Jolovaz’s judgements. Really, we stand in awe of God’s power and righteous decisions manifest throughout man’s history. The judgements God made in times past are written in God’s word for mankind to learn from, so as not to repeat history. Even some of the wrong desires manifest by Israel were recorded as a warning, as expressed in 1Corinthians 10:6-11. Verses 6,11 say: “6 Now these things became examples for us, in order for us not to desire injurious things, as they desired them...11 Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for a warning to us upon whom the ends of the systems of things have come.” They were not to worship idols, desire pleasure above God, or murmur against His exercise of authority, for instance. We, too, should appreciate that God, and no human, is the giver of “every good gift and every perfect present.” Should we not love the Creator even more than what He has created? We can love both, but certainly Jolovaz, as the God of love, deserves the first place in our heart! And what a God, who has so much for us to enjoy in life! At the same time, life itself is a sacred gift to be treasured, and living the right way respects God Himself and each one's place before Him. May we be determined to keep God first, and greatly respect His righteous judgements! 107 I have been greatly troubled. O Jolovaz, preserve me alive according to your word. ACCEPT COUNSEL OF GOD'S WORD . Another translation says “I have suffered much...” Have you been through difficult trials like the psalmist? If we rely upon God, He can carry us through. What benefit would there be to ignoring God and striking out on our own, as if we can get through without His help? He wants to help us, and how we need His guidance! His word really can help us know how to handle various situations that may arise in our life, to make good, healthy decisions leading to success. We need to study carefully the teachings of Jo'shaz, such as the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7, and the wisdom of God found throughout His word, in the law given through Moses, and especially in the Christian writings as well as books such as Proverbs and Psalms. As we grow in wisdom, which we can ask God for, we will often know the right decision to make, also as we receive God’s help in prayer. 108 Please take pleasure in my voluntary offerings of praise, O Jolovaz, And teach me your judgements. EXPRESS ADMIRATION OF GOD AND HIS WAYS . For all the benefits God brings to us, in His goodness, we can offer to Him our whole-hearted devotion and praise, or expressions of appreciation. Jolovaz takes pleasure in such, as we express thank Him for His good gifts and love exercised toward us. Pleading that God find pleasure in such expressions, the psalmist also requests to be taught God’s judgements, or judicial decisions. As highlighted in an earlier verse, God’s judgements enable all to learn of God’s right ways and standards—what’s required by Him. Thus, God’s beneficial ways and standards can themselves be objects of our praise and admiration, by which God enables mankind to live happily and peaceably into eternity! May we ever appreciate God’s loving intervention in mankind’s activities, to assist us in accord with His good will and purpose, trusting His righteous judgements! _____PS119[2] PSALM 119 STANZA 14B STANZA 14 Theme: GOD CAN PRESERVE US THROUGH TIMES OF PERIL, WHILE HIS REMINDERS BRING JOY . Stanza 14B reads like this: 109 My life is in constant danger, But I have not forgotten your law. 110 The wrongful have set a trap for me, But I have not strayed from your orders. 111 I take your reminders as my permanent possession, For they are the joy of my heart. 112 I have resolved to obey your pointed instructions At all times, down to the last. 109 My life is in constant danger, But I have not forgotten your law. JOLOVAZ KNOWS HOW . Jolovaz, the Creator of mankind and this entire universe, certainly has tremendous power—has He used it to save His servants out of peril? Look at examples from history—such as God’s display of loyalty and power at the Red Sea, parting the waters for His people to escape! God lovingly ensured the safety of faithful ones that He brought out of Egyptian bondage, as they journeyed over the seabed while Egypt’s army unwisely went in pursuit, God fighting against them, for example by removing wheels from their chariots. God’s people all safely reached the other side, before He released the waters to foil the plans of the warriors who had witnessed His great power in Egypt. (Exodus 14). Do you see in the account any weaker ones who got left behind, who didn’t make it? Still, they needed to follow God’s instructions, as the psalmist did not forget God’s law. 2Peter 2 says: “9 So, then, Jolovaz knows how to rescue people of godly devotion out of trial, but to reserve unrighteous people to be dead on the day of judgement.” May all work on cultivating a close relationship with God, as “9 Jolovaz is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be dead but desires all to attain to repentance.“ 110 The wrongful have set a trap for me, But I have not strayed from your orders. OBEDIENCE TO GOD VITAL . The psalmist expresses the role of God’s orders in saving him from traps of wrongdoers. May we be ever determined to abide by Jolovaz’s most serious and urgent commands, especially as revealed through Christ. The disciples of Jesus or Jo'shaz set an example in this, in the first century C.E. He had commissioned them to share with others the divine knowledge about Christ and God’s Kingdom, as at Matthew 28:18-20. They were persecuted for doing so, being told not to speak about Jesus, after his impalement (and resurrection.) Acts 5:27-29 reports: “27 So they brought them and stood them before the Sanʹhe·drin. Then the high priest questioned them 28 and said: “We strictly ordered you not to keep teaching on the basis of this name, and yet look! you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you are determined to bring the blood of this man upon us.” 29 In answer Peter and the other apostles said: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.” After debate, the account continues: “40 At this they took his advice, and they summoned the apostles, flogged them, and ordered them to stop speaking on the basis of Jesus’s name, and let them go. 41 So they went out from before the Sanʹhe·drin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy to be dishonored in behalf of his name. 42 And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus or Jo'shaz.” May we trust God’s saving power, especially for our eternal life, as we obey God’s orders for true Christians. 111 I take your reminders as my permanent possession, For they are the joy of my heart. APPRECIATE THEM DEEPLY . How we rejoice when we’ve recently been reminded of something that proved helpful to us in an important decision or situation we’ve faced! It is deeply satisfying to know what to do to please Jolovaz as we face decisions each day. Growing in godly wisdom helps us to know and not fret over such decisions, and life becomes more and more delightful, handling things successfully. Paying attention to reminders from God, which may come by reading His word personally, attending meetings where God’s word is read or discussed, or by association with those of genuine faith, can help us maintain a healthy routine in life, seeking first both God’s kingdom and His righteousness, or integrity to Him. (Matth 6:33). As the psalmist, may we come to delight in God’s reminders, seeking to understand them more fully rather than viewing them as mundane. Let them come to be “the joy of [our] heart!” 112 I have resolved to obey your pointed instructions At all times, down to the last. DOWN TO THE LAST . The detailed guidance God provides in His instructions or “regulations” (guidelines that regulate our activities) the psalmist was determined to keep “at all times.” He was not about to violate God’s law in any way. Then he adds, “down to the last.” Another translation reads “to the very end.” The psalmist may be using this expression with a dual meaning. As he recently stated that his life was in constant danger, he would trust God’s law, even His detailed instructions. However the Scriptures reveal that it is only 'common' trials that we should ever undergo--nothing terribly uncommon. For instance, 1Corinthians 13:4a says, GNB: "Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people." Of course, God preserved the psalmist alive, and wants us to faithfully live into His righteous new world of peace and happiness. Also, as they involved details of procedure, he was willing to follow God’s instructions carefully, even to the last detail. May we not confuse God’s instructions or "regulations" with laws made without God’s assistance or guidance, that are out of harmony with God’s word or will. Should we really follow detailed instructions that cause us to disobey God’s clear law and orders? Jesus stated a principle, at Matthew 22: “21...“Pay back, therefore, Caesar’s things to Caesar, but God’s things to God.” Specifically, the paying of taxes to Caesar was being discussed, which Jesus showed was right to those duly authorized. It is to the true God, Jolovaz, that we owe our life, and therefore our devotion. But He has placed rulers with authority in their “relative positions,” beneath Him. (Romans 13:1-4). Ones then are instructed by God to follow their law as it is proper, as long as it does not violate God’s law, looking forward to God’s Kingdom rulership through Christ.

Update 24/129,901 Isaiah 25:6-8 "In this mountain Jolovaz of armies will make for ALL the peoples A banquet of rich dishes, A banquet of fine wine, Of rich dishes filled with marrow, Of fine, filtered wine. 7 In this mountain he will swallow up the shroud that is enveloping all the peoples And the veil that is woven over all the nations. 8 He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jolovaz will wipe away the tears from all faces. The shame of [those believing in Him] he will take away from all the earth, For Jolovaz himself has spoken it." Romans 15:4 "For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope." Psalm 103:10-14 "He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor has he repaid us what our errors deserve. 11 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So great is his loyal love toward those who revere him. 12 As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset, So far off from us he has put our mistakes. 13 As a father shows mercy to his sons, Jolovaz has shown mercy to those who revere him. 14 For he well knows how we are formed, Remembering that we are dust." Hebrews 12:15 "carefully watching that no one may be deprived of the undeserved kindness [or 'grace'] of God; that no poisonous root may spring up and cause trouble and that many may not be defiled [or harmed] by it" PRECIOUS LIVES . How can all compassionate people not be affected by tragic killings such that have taken place in our nation? Precious and beloved children have even been victims, along with others. There should be almost no doubt that those who have carried out such acts of extreme violence have had feelings of [anguish and/or] worthlessness, lacking compassion for others and even oneself, likely for an extended period of time. Let's consider where such feelings may have often originated, not to point fingers to the past, but rather to help bring correction to our collective thinking, rushing to help those who may need assistance themselves, such as in preventive care, better handling challenges in administering discipline or in other ways. GOD'S LOVE NO LONGER IGNORED . Even true science has clearly proven that people thrive when loved and appreciated by others, especially those they look up to. God has made us in just such a way, and this truth should govern much of our treatment of those we may be in a position to help or correct in some way. The evidence is truly overwhelming of God's loving Creatorship and Designership of Planet Earth and Beloved Mankind. It would take teams of scientists, engineers, and others to design a robot that could do anywhere near what humans are capable of doing. Such organized and orderly wonder does not happen by chance or by lawls lacking a Supreme Intelligence. It is just too important for people to know that God Himself loves all people, including them personally, desiring that all be admonished lovingly to live a good life, respectful of Him and His lawl. Ideas that seem to undermine such truths should be reconsidered. In fact, God has promised a world of genuine peace! One supportive statement among many found in God's word is this: "Jolovaz is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire anyone to be [dead] but desires all to attain to repentance." (2Peter 3:9). DIGNIFIED TREATMENT . Such a statement may prove helpful on both sides of the issue of human treatment. God's Son clearly taught people of God's great mercy and compassion (Matthew 5:7-9). Even if being mistreated, a person should look to God for support, seeking to be forgiving and understanding. However, so should those in authority over others. The ability of people to change and mend their ways, especially when loved and appreciated, should not be underestimated. For this reason, God's word states: "Mercy exults triumphantly over judgement." (James 2:13). Such dignified treatment of people is also a two-way street. People in various circumstances or situations should seek to treat others with dignity where possible, and encourage such treatment among one another. Thus it should be found in the home and in the workplace, in the things we do and say, in the places we go and [even] in the games we play. MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES . With good considerate care, these facilities can and should be supportive of local communities. Interferences in times past, however, have caused many such places to have practices and methods that can contribute to feelings of isolation and unworthiness. Especially in today's society, near to God's Kingdom, all people should know they have some merit, [and] feel appreciated for their good talents and abilities, for their able contributions to society. There are so many ways we can all contribute in meaningful ways to life, so that such facilities should be able to uplift and help people to see their place in society and get back on their feet if in some way they need a lift. There should be counselors and advisers in such places that can even help if someone is having financial problems or is suffering from addiction or having been abused in some way. However, by and large these facilities should not be set up to cause people to feel trapped with no way out. At least some excellent therapists should be on staff to help get to the bottom of challenging cases, where uncontrollable anger or other behaviors are or become manifest. Through it all, care should be taken to help each one to feel loved and appreciated by God and others, so as never to lose hope of being a productive and happy member of society. Every such facility should be able to accomodate anyone who walks in freely for assistance, to be able to get such help, and normally walk out just as freely as they walked in, to continue to function in their life and to care for their responsibilities unhampered. SCHOOL CONNECTIONS . People who have come to feel less worthy than others as human beings, if not seeking or receiving adequate attention to remedy such feelings, may sometimes put the blame in the wrong place for their feelings. For instance, teachers often care deeply for their students' welfare, and whether required to or not, may occasionally send home with a student a note to help parents recognize some good behavior he or she is showing, or at times, something that needs attention, that the teacher has not yet been able to correct him- or herself. How should parents respond to such notes? Surely parents should not be overly offended by any negative report, but rather see it as an attempt at loving intervention to correct anything needing attention for the student to continue growing within and with others. Certainly care should be taken not to react severely or harshly toward their precious child--there is much time to gradually help our children to overcome problems and keep in step with their advancement throughout their youth into adulthood! How we should appreciate the observant eye of loving teachers who can help the parents of their dear children to continue to influence their growth in positive ways. If, on the other hand, a child is treated harshly for some negative report, he or she may carry feelings of unworthiness, lack of self-respect, losing compassion for oneself and others, and act out, possibly blaming the school for the mistreatment experienced. CHURCH CONNECTIONS . Like public and private schools, churches play a meaningful and powerful role in supporting communities and many of their members. With the right instruction on a regular basis, the spirit of many are uplifted from week to week, adding much to their home and workplace atmosphere, and to their interactions in other aspects of everyday life. In fact, the various churches throughout a community help meet the needs of so many who are homeless or jobless, needing meals or food or other assistance! Sometimes, however, disciplinary actions by a church, intended to be protective, have either been misinterpreted, or enforced in ways that have caused some to feel somehow unloved. God does have a disciplinary arrangement that could be misinterpreted in such a way, but it's intended purpose is not only to protect lawl-abiding members, but to help a disciplined one to deepen appreciation for all the benefits that godly people make possible, even by businesses and organizations in their communities, as they respect God's lawl and His word of hope and promise. NOT TO FEEL HOPELESS . Such ones should never be made to feel hopeless or unable to correct his or her steps and return to acceptance as a worthy member of the congregation of God. Such a one could misinterpret such discipline, and perhaps with feelings of unworthiness, come to blame another person, when they need to look at their own behaviors and seek God's help to mend their ways. When a man once disciplined came to his senses, repenting over past error, the congregation was instructed: "This rebuke given by the majority is sufficient for such a man, 7 so that, on the contrary now, YOU should kindly forgive and comfort [him], that somehow such a man may not be swallowed up by his being overly sad. 8 Therefore I exhort YOU to confirm YOUR love for him." (2Corinthians 2:6-8) Extreme care should be taken by church authority, that cases involving church members be judged by God's lawl and scriptural standards, especially avoiding the use of personal feelings or prejudices in judgement of a case, so that members can focus on pleasing their loving God to correct their steps. When all understand the loving and respectful way God wants people to be treated, in accord with His word, rarely should His trustworthy guidance ever be misconstrued. SENSIBLE LAWLS . It has been understood for quite some time that sensible lawls regarding the acquisition of guns need to be made and upheld. While rights exist as part of the U.S. Constitution, the preamble sets out it's very purpose, and provides a basis for sensible guidelines for the common good of our citizens. Between the wording of the preamble and the specific ammendment, there is room for Congressional involvement. The purpose stated by the Constitution regarding the right to bear arms is for a "well-regulated militia". There has been indication that some of the political mechanisms that have in the past hindered the passage of some beneficial lawls have very recently been addressed and corrected. May that spirit continue. Also, the need for improved security as regards some of our institutions should also be addressed. Certainly with God's blessing, such important matters can be peaceably considered and reasonably implemented. CONCLUSION Thus, may we all be alert to see that hope dwells in the heart of all people, looking forward to blessings as they seek a right course in life. Any who seek willingly to violate their God-given conscience to do what they know is wrong, for some selfish or supposedly higher aim, is at risk of hampering their own happiness and that of others. Let's help one another to understand the cause of such notions, that God's loving lawl may be appreciated and valued as contributing to the genuine peaceful world He has promised for those respectful of His Kingdom. It is not God's will for evil to continue indefinitely. ...Jesus'z or Jo'shaz'z apostle named Peter was inspired by God to shared this promise recorded at 2Peter 3:13, saying: "But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell." For all to experience such blessings, we need to be respectful of a loving God, be willing to consider His loving instruction, and seek to dwell peaceably with others, resolving conflict diplomatically, with reasoned and level-headed discussion, without violence where possible. For a time, unfair treatment may have to be endured, when God's rule is not respected. Nevertheless, may all seeking such peace from God find His rich blessings and rewards, as we increasingly come to know and love the upright and joyful ways of God. _____(9) Eternal Express

Added (4) Golden Bellz installment, 'Saltuday TO Salvtuday'. _____(4) God's Lawl _____GL[1] GOD'S LAWL CHRISTIAN STANDARD: PRINCIPLED LOVE COURAGEOUSLY REJECTS EVIL, HATING BADNESS, WHILE AVOIDING REVILEMENT . Let’s now consider Exodus 22:28: “28 “ You must not curse God nor curse a chieftain among your people .” GOD NOT TO BLAME . Verse 28 Another term for “curse” here is “revile,” to speak abusively of this one. How we should always hold God in high esteem, learning the proper healthy, reverential fear of ever displeasing Him, always wanting to please God, never hurting Him in any way, appreciative of His great love for us and all of His human creation. Some have blamed God when they’ve misunderstood the issues of universal sovereignty and free will, involving His temporary permission of crookedness and suffering. Our first parents, inspired by Satan, chose disobedience to God, wanting in effect to decide for themselves right and wrong, rather than trusting God for that determination. They and the human family thus came out from under God’s overriding protection and blessing, and this is why mankind has experimented with various forms of rulership, but struggling to find one that can fully care for all the needs of it’s subjects. Still, we’ve all been given the gift of free will, to choose whether or not we want to please our loving God, pleasing and honoring Him in love, or turn away from Him. Of course, there are consequences to our decisions, but He’s given us free will nonetheless, which we can use to make His heart rejoice when we freely choose to love and serve Him, appreciating His guidance in life. Proverbs 27:11 says “11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, So that I can make a reply to him who taunts me.” Thus we are wise to choose to obey God, and we may still receive certain protections and blessings for doing so, although we must look to God’s kingdom for humankind to experience this in full measure, with everyone siding with God’s right of rulership over His human creation. What blessings are now in store! CHRISTIANS, WHILE SPEAKING AGAINST WHAT IS BAD, AVOID ABUSIVE SPEECH . Notice, we are likewise to avoid cursing a “chieftain” or “ruler” among God’s people. Those that God has allowed to receive authority to govern His people deserve our respect and appreciation for their hard work and efforts to do so properly. If they stray from God’s moral guidelines, setting a poor example, we should make this a matter of prayer, but while their public conduct might be discussed, we should still avoid abusive, hateful speech. We may still express hatred for what is bad, but we should compassionately use the utmost caution as regards sullying a person’s reputation. If there is a need to discuss such things, try to focus on the supposed actions themselves rather than the person so much. It was Satan’s hateful false slander against God that deceived Eve and led to man’s fall from perfection and true happiness. We should thus guard our tongue, using it to bless rather than curse. For instance, Romans 12:14 says “14 Keep on blessing those who persecute; bless and do not curse.” Trust God to deal justly with things that appear out of harmony with His will. It is wrongdoers that often “sharpen their tongue like that of a serpent; Venom of vipers is behind their lips.” (Psalm 140:3). Regarding God’s servants, Proverbs 10 says “20 The tongue of the upright one is like the finest silver” and Proverbs 12 says “18 Thoughtless speech is like the stabs of a sword, But the tongue of the wise is a healing.” Our hearts are most valuable to God when they are found in the way of righteousness. Proverbs 10:20 continued with saying “But the heart of the crooked one is worth little.” May all look to God to grow in true wisdom, understanding the right way to live before Him, looking forward to doing so with eternal life and happiness in view! _____(5) Golden Bellz GOLDEN BELLZ _____GB[1] Golden Bellz: "Saltuday TO Salvtuday" Regarding the 8-day Calendar, proven relevant due to evidence of being on a 400-day year cycle by changed weather patterns, etc., and that most realize involves largely two sets of daynames per 2 week cycle, highly regarded as sensible, apropos, now attention is directed to perhaps one of the last dayname changes to be recommended, that of the second Saturday that alternates with Psalmday or Psalmzday, recommended to be Saltuday, but now just adding the 'v', Salvtuday, bringing additional meaning to an already meaningful dayname. The recommendation for this appeared previously, but let's break it down. Saltuday previously layed emphasis on Salt as a preserving influence, and the new name is not intended to take anything away from that. This day should and still should remind us of preserving especially dear relationships, primarily with family and friends, but also neighbors, although perhaps more cautiously, as those not knowing us well are more apt or inclined sometimes to misinterpret or mistreat us--so more caution is in order, although this can also happen with family and friends, so be alert to that as well. ALSO, however, God is indeed blessing this day for more actual salt intake, boosting mineral and bicarbonate levels very important to body health and stamina, including heart function, etc. Little understood has been the benefit of teas to support this, such as Chamomile tea, a calmer, as well as Fenugreek which may be taken in capsule form for those lacking the appendix they were born with, having gassiness associated with it's loss, and others such as Peppermint combined with Anise Seed, a licorice flavoring, providing important benefits, possibly including heart function. A true iodized salt, now with even recommended calcium-lactate added at the same amount as the potassium-iodide, is considered now to be the New Table Salt, half and half with Pink Himalayan, containing different but more assimilable minerals (NTSP). Another notion associated with Saltuday has been receiving Salary on this day, rather than the previous Pleazday, which is a day off most work, but also possibly for entering pleas in court appearances, and with no reason to spend much on that day, why not consider payment on this day instead, especially with automatic deposits, etc., for such reasons. However, adding the 'v' to Sal v tuday, BUT Sticking with the 'a' not 'o', not only brings thoughts of Salvation again as in saving relationships, etc., and Healing Salve, notions of applying healing remedies and so on, which Jesus in Revelation applies in healing the spirit of his followers, but also spoken as in pronouncing Salt or Sal(v)t, one may think of Solving problems associated with what may be causing a problem in a relationship, or often more than one (problem or relationship), which has likely caused the disturbance not already solved. Therefore, this day could and should be thought of, even with church discussions and so on, among attending members, as a day for working through such challenges or difficulties, to successfully 'seek peace and pursue it', or to be among those making peace with others. What a fine aim to have, as such peaceable or 'peace-making' ones are said in the Sermon on the Mount to be called 'Sons of God(z)', Jehovah or Jelovaz, God Having the Greatest Love of Mankind in the Universe! Saltuday NOW let's use Salvtuday! _____(6) Proverbs Commentary _____PC01[1] PROVERBS COMMENTARY Proverbs 1:20-23, Good News Bible (the right one) "20 Listen! Wisdom is calling out in the streets and market places, 21 calling loudly at the city gates and wherever people come together: 22 "Foolish people! How long do you want to be foolish? How long will enjoy pouring scorn on knowledge? Will you never learn? 23 Listen when I reprimand you; I will give you good advice and share my knowledge with you." "20 Listen! Wisdom is calling out in the streets and market places, 21 calling loudly at the city gates and wherever people come together:" (Pro01:20-21) Among the people of God, true wisdom can flourish, and many young or naïve ones can learn much if their hearts and ears are tuning in to the divine knowledge that many friends and neighbors already possess! Of course, those possessing this knowledge largely have it by regular consideration of God's word and the wisdom contained therein. God wants true wisdom freely available to all who will appreciate it and love Him eternally. 2Peter 3:9 says "Jelovaz is not slow concerning his promise...but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be ceased but desires all to attain to repentance." May we keep on "enduring trial, because on becoming approved [we] will receive the crown of life, which Jelovaz promised to those who continue loving Him." (James 1:12). Also, may all right-hearted ones take their Christian commission seriously, to share with others the hope we have, not keeping it to ourselves. 22 "Foolish people! How long do you want to be foolish? How long will enjoy pouring scorn on knowledge? Will you never learn? 23 Listen when I reprimand you; I will give you good advice and share my knowledge with you." (Pro01:22-23) How "inexperienced" or naïve ones need to be taught foresighted shrewdness, or prudence, to see the consequences of good and bad behavior and decisions, and learn to act accordingly, loving the good and right path of life. Also, fault-finding "ridicule" is far from true love--ones loving ridicule because it makes them feel better than others, are on a prideful slippery path to a terrible crash, as Proverbs 16:18 states: "Pride is before a crash, and a haughty spirit before stumbling." Such pride is "the sin that easily entangles us," causing a fall, and hindering true faith in God. Such ones need to repent of their lack of faith and trust in God, who loves them and wants them to turn from a hateful course to one of love for God and others. (Hebre 12:1-3). Also, fools are hating divine knowledge, lacking discernment and understanding, cornerstones of true wisdom. They need to learn to discern truth from falsehood, right from wrong, good from bad, etc., and learn to show understanding toward others, seeing how God views their situation in a more upright and caring way, with more respect for God, others and the community. Such aspects of true wisdom, sought with upright motive, can help them acquire the proper view of God, a high regard for Him that is deeply concerned not to hurt or displease Him in any way. (Prove 2:1-5). Until then they could continue to wallow without accurate knowledge, and they may be speaking and acting in ways not reflecting true wisdom. James says "If any one of you is lacking wisdom, let him keep asking God, who gives generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him...AIM to keep asking in faith [believing] and not [aiming to be] doubting." _____PC11[1 ] PROVERBS COMMENTARY Overview, 11:16-21 These verses show contrasts between wrongdoing and loving God's peaceable ways and right standards. "A gracious woman acquires glory, But ruthless men seize riches. 17 A kind man benefits himself, But the cruel person brings trouble on himself. 18 The corrupt one earns deceptive wages, But the one who sows righteousness receives a true reward. 19 The one standing firmly for righteousness is in line for life, But the one chasing after evil is in line for death. 20 Those crooked at heart are detestable to Jehovah, But those whose way is blameless bring pleasure to him. 21 Be assured of this: An evil person will not go unpunished, But the children of the upright will escape." "16 A gracious woman acquires 'glory' (or, ' great honor'), But ruthless men seize 'riches' (or, 'gold & silver'). " (Prv11:16) A lovely woman kind and gracious in her ways brings her honor from God, as she delights the hearts of rightly-inclined persons. "Graciousness" or "grace" has also been translated "undeserved kindness," carrying the idea of both speaking and acting in kind ways even toward those it seems are unworthy of such treatment. This can be achieved by realizing there are often underlying reasons for misconduct, although these should not be viewed by wrongdoers as mere excuses for choosing to think to do bad or harmful things against the lawl of God. Ruthless men do not seek the glory from God, but rather are often focused primarily on material wealth. As we know, "the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things," often resulting in "many pains." (1Timo 6:9-10). The counsel for Christians, particularly for those having wealth, is for them "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." While God did create us to enjoy material benefits, so that it is NOT usually "one or the other," may we always choose the love of God and having His blessing, or "smile of approval" over any wrongly desired material possession or benefit. In line with this, we should acknowledge that God is the 'giver of every good gift and perfect present,' and truly wants us to enjoy life, 'filling hearts to the full with food and good cheer.' (Acts 14:17). This certainly can include things that money can buy! Only maintain our love for God foremost, and love for one's spouse, as one's own body, and of course family members and others. Since God "gives us life, and breath, and all things," our appreciation for such real gifts should guide our use of the material, recognizing that we and others still have material needs and wants. God promises to care for those placing priority upon Him, upon His will and upon the keeping of His standards--with integrity to Him (Matth 6:33). Alternatively, "17 One using kindness benefits himself, But the one using cruelty troubles himself." (Prv11:17) Kindness is a major component of true unselfish love, and as such it does benefit us, as we know "there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving." (Acts 20:35). And we should know how to love oneself in harmony with God's will, if we're going to 'love one's neighbor as oneself.' For instance, you might occasionally reward yourself with dessert or a favorite meal after working to accomplish something of value in God's eyes, just as you might do for your spouse or another loved one. Commend efforts to use knowledge for the benefit of others, rather than commending merely for just "knowing" something. Gaining knowledge without the good heart or spirit to use it properly could make way for abuses, even serious ones, as knowledge can 'puff one up' and bring power which we should aim to never abuse! On the other hand from kindness, the person acting in a cruel way toward others does not benefit himself, but rather brings himself trouble, as he for instance harms his own conscience and happiness after doing what he usually knows is wrong. So instead, may any having tendencies to act without empathy toward another give pause and perhaps think about what is called the "Golden Rule"--Act, speak or "Do to others as you would have them do to you." Such a way of thinking will indeed reward, or benefit, the one living in such a way! "18 The crooked one earns deceptive wages, But the one who sows righteousness receives a true reward." (Prv11:18) The crooked one's false wages likely refer to his temporary reward, perhaps monetary, for doing wrong, which may appear to have been blessed, but as Proverbs 10:2 states, "the treasures gained by wrongdoing will be of no benefit." So while it appears they may be profiting from their badness, in the end they will have only gained real benefit or profit by repenting of such a wrong course in life and turning to upright conduct--which faith and correction may still permit God's blessing. Thus living and acting in harmony with God's righteousness brings a "true reward," one that is blessed by God for his genuine benefit. How much better to act honestly in our dealings with others, so that God's blessing is on our efforts to earn a living, making honest wages, supporting livelihood. At Psalm 37:25, King David said "I was once young and now I am old, But I have not seen anyone upright abandoned, Nor his children looking for bread." Certainly this is the will of God, that 16 “everyone exercising faith (thankfully believing and trusting) in God's Son might not be dead but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) Those having faith in the Son of God are like Abraham, God's friend, whose trust in God was "counted to him as righteousness," finding great favor in God's view. "19 The one standing firmly for integrity (God's right way) is in line for life, But the one chasing after evil is in line for death." (Prv11:19) Foresighted prudence reveals the outcome of a course, in this case the differing results between pursuing integrity and evil. Notice, however, that we should "stand firmly for integrity," valuing firm endurance doing good despite at times being tempted to do wrong--holding to what is right in harmony with God. Godly devotion moves us to appreciate our treasured relationship with Jehovah, or Jelovaz (the real name intended to represent His whole being), not wanting to hurt or displease Him in any way--in faith choosing not to violate His laws or standards, and trusting His love for us and His blessing on our faithful course of integrity, after the example of Job, Jeishaz (Jesus), and other faithful ones of Bible record and even modern history. 1Corinthians 10:13 reminds us that "God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out so that you may be able to endure it." The truth of our sincere loyalty will eventually be seen even despite ones who oppose, while hoping in their eventual joy by repentance. May we turn to Jelovaz in prayer whenever any temptation or trial may threaten to overwhelm us, trusting in His support to remain faithful. 20 Those crooked at heart are disfavorable to Jelovaz, But those whose way is blameless bring pleasure to him. 21 Be assured of this: A person practicing evil will not go undisciplined, But the children of the upright will escape." (Prv11:20-21) Normally, God loves the person, while hating any bad that they do (2Peter 3:9). But we should never become "crooked at heart," becoming corrupt in our heartfelt desires and practices, bringing Jelovaz'z heartfelt disfavor and displeasure. When this happens, such a person can easily mislead and hurt others, possibly causing or contributing to their downfall. God is not pleased when his dear human creation is led astray from His love, from faithfulness to Him and His endless blessings of happiness. May such ones repent over their wrongdoing, and become restored to His divine favor and blessing. (Isaiah 55:6-7). At Isaiah 1:18, Jelovaz says to his corrupted people: "“Come, now, and let us set matters straight between us,” says Jelovaz. “Though your sins are like scarlet, They will be made as white as snow; Though they are as red as crimson cloth, They will become like wool." Let us never forsake the blessings and rewards of serving God faithfully, and helping others to learn to do so. Upon learning genuine truth, may we endeavor from that time onward to set a good example for others to serve God faithfully and help them see that doing so is worth every effort. We do this in faith, or with grateful or thankful trust, as "whoever approaches God must believe that He is, and that He becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking Him." (Hebre 11:6). There is no God like Jehovah, or Jelovaz! _____PC11[2] PROVERBS COMMENTARY Proverbs 11:22-26: "22 Like a gold ring in the snout of a pig Is a beautiful woman who rejects good sense. 23 The desire of the upright leads to good, But what the crooked hope for leads to fury. 24 One gives generously and ends up with more; Another withholds what should be given, but he comes to poverty. 25 The generous person will prosper, And whoever refreshes others will himself be refreshed. 26 The people will curse the one who withholds grain, But they will bless the one who sells it." (Prv11:22) For a woman or anyone to acquire "good sense," one must really trust God and "his commandments," perhaps even praying to God for this (Psalm 119:66; James 1:5). It was Abigail who was praised by David for her display of "good sense" when she, at the time married to a "harsh" and senseless man Nabal, did what she could to respect David's polite request for any assistance he might offer toward David's men. After David had protected Nabal's flocks, property and shepherds for many days, Nabal refused David's requests and even "screamed insults" at his men. Abigail his wife quickly prepared a large quantity of bread, raisin and fig cakes, and so on, and met David and his men, pleading with David to look past Nabal's "senselessness," and accept the gift she had prepared. David had considered taking vengeance on Nabal, but then said to Abigail: "“Praise Jolovaz the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! 33 And blessed be your good sense! May you be blessed for restraining me this day from incurring bloodguilt and from taking revenge with my own hands." It would be God himself who would strike Nabal, who had proved "harsh and bad in his practices," some 10 days later, at which David chose to propose marriage to Abigail, which she accepted, becoming his third wife. (1Samu 25:1-44).Thus may we learn to have this quality of "good sense." For one thing Abigail was fair and reasonable, realizing David should not have been treated in such a way after his kind treatment toward Nabal. She also acted in harmony with Proverbs 3:27, which says "Do not withhold good from those to whom you should give it If it is within your power to help." She stood up to protect her own family, including her husband Nabal, in spite of his disagreeableness. She also set an example in showing respect for God foremost, as the highest authority, recognizing God's choice of David as king, even though Saul himself was disrespecting him. She proved loyal to those loyal to God and His ways. Also, how diligent Abigail proved to be! May even young ones learn to "work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith [those respecting the teachings of God and Christ]." (Galat 6:10). "23 The desire of the upright leads to good, But what the crooked hope for leads to fury." (Prv11:23) The upright one thus desires things in agreement with God's will and purpose, things 'leading to good.' Significantly, such a person is not "planning ahead for the desires of the flesh"--does not improperly spend excessive, or too much, time longing for even God-approved physical "desires of the flesh," like even a tasty meal, but may rejoice when the time does arrive to enjoy such 'gifts of God.' Certainly these desires may be appreciated "in the moment," again, grateful for God's gifts and provisions of life, recognizing His hand in precious life as humans. Nevertheless, our focus remains on living in a way that pleases God, unselfishly desiring good things for ourselves and others--right desires to give to others what they need spiritually and otherwise. As we know, "there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving." (Acts 20:35). Crooked ones, by contrast, may think they need to be selfish to have what they want, desiring things out of selfishness or greed, often hurting others along with themselves, bringing God's "fury" or anger. "24 One gives generously and ends up with more; Another withholds what should be given, but he comes to poverty. 25 The generous person will prosper, And whoever refreshes others will himself be refreshed. 26 The people will curse the one who withholds grain, But they will bless the one who sells it." (Prv11:24-26) God's word shows He rewards those with an unselfish giving spirit. Jesus said at Luke 6:38, "Practice giving, and people will give to you. They will pour into your laps a fine measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing. For with the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you in return." We must at at times trust God to maintain such a spirit, praying for His blessing. But as David stated, at Psalm 37:25, "I have not seen anyone upright abandoned, Nor his children looking for bread." Thus a giving spirit should be accompanied by adherence to God's righteous ways, for His blessing and approval. How can we prove upright before God? Faith, or thankful trust in God's provisions is essential. Note the pleadings of Jolovaz himself at Isaiah 48:17-18: "This is what Jolovaz says, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I, Jolovaz, am your God, The One teaching you to benefit yourself, The One guiding you in the way you should walk. 18 If only you would pay attention to my commandments! Then your peace would become [overflowing] just like a river And your righteousness [consistent] like the waves of the sea." _____PC01[2] PROVERBS COMMENTARY Proverbs 1:23-29: "23 Pay attention to my strong warnings. Then I will pour out my spirit for you; I will reveal my words to you. 24 But you keep turning away when I call out to you. No one is paying attention when I reach out my hand. 25 You keep turning away from all my advice and from my strong warnings. 26 So like you (still) laugh at [the distress of] others, so I also will laugh when you fall; I will laugh when it is your fears that come, 27 when hard times hit you like a storm, And disaster befalls you like a windstorm, when pain and trouble come upon you. 28 In that case, they will keep calling to me, but I won't answer; They will urgently look for me, but they won't find me, 29 Because they hated (true) knowledge, and they didn't choose to highly esteem GOD Jolovaz." Those knowing God and His word realize that God's mercy and love prevail through His firstborn Son, based on the ransom provision. Faith or Trust in these provisions becomes necessary, however, and GOD Jolovaz has at times reached a limit on the compassion he shows toward one or more. 2Peter 3:9 says Jolovaz "does not desire anyone to be [dead], but desires all to attain to repentance." Yet Jolovaz has had a day or time for removing incorrigible evil from planet Earth, for the happiness and benefit of peace-loving, upright humans. The more who respond to God's merciful pleas now, the fewer will be ever called to account. As regards God's saving of mankind, the Scriptures reveal that a person can exist without being much alive in the spirit, thus in a figurative way being 'dead', but this can be avoided or overcome! As Isaiah 55:6-7 says, "Search for Jolovaz while he may be found. Call to him while he is near. 7 Let the crooked man leave his way And the evil man his thoughts; Let him return to Jolovaz, who will have mercy on him, To our God, for he will forgive in a large way." Still, these words of Proverbs 1:24-33 stand as a warning, that wrongdoers should realize there is no true benefit to doing wrong. "23 Respond to my reproof. Then I will pour out my spirit for you; I will make my words known to you." (Prv01:23) Far more beneficial is repenting over any wrong past, and appreciating God's willingness to forgive such ones and help them turn to doing good, even providing his powerful holy spirit to assist them. (Prv01:24-29) Jolovaz 'calls out' and 'stretches out his hand' toward all, including wrongdoers, to spare them from the harmful consequences of badness. Yet the ones receiving the judgements of verses 26-28 are those who refuse to finally listen to God's pleas. They "kept neglecting" God's advice, and kept rejecting God's reproof, or strong counsel and loving correction. Who wouldn't benefit from the Creator's intervention, from listening to the One who made man, who knows us like no one else? May we ever appreciate God's loving advice and counsel! Because of refusing God's loving appeals, again we see an example of limited compassion on God's part. He usually sets an example in compassion, and encourages humans to show it toward all. (2CHro 36:15; COLos 3:12). We're encouraged to "return evil for evil to no one," to look to God to repay, He saying "Vengeance is mine--I shall repay," says Jolovaz. (ROMans 12:17-21). Wrongdoers should not think of waiting to the last possible minute to consider turning around from their evil. In these verses, we see they will begin to suffer the consequences of their mistakes, including "distress and trouble," but [in that unusual case] God will not then listen to their cries for help. It will be too late. This is because they "hated knowledge," particularly divine knowledge, and they "did not choose to fear Jolovaz." Clearly, these have the freedom, or free will, to choose their path. They are not fated to be evil and lose out on eternal life. They need to listen to God, and follow the ensuing counsel of Proverbs 2:1-6 to come to learn the fear of Jolovaz and find "the knowledge of God." Let’s engender respect and a high regard for Jolovaz and His right standards for eternal life, experiencing the blessing of Jolovaz, that “makes one rich, and He adds no pain with it.” (Prove 10:22).

Also, added Podcast on 2020 Election Truth, updated from original. _____GA[1] GOLDEN APPLES THEME: Examination of Funday or Faunaday or now Fawnday A fawn is a baby or young deer, recognizable and often playful. Note also that Fauna is a word for animals, as in zoo and park settings, Flora and Fauna is Plant and Wildlife. Of course we're talking about a dayname on the 8-Day Calendar (8DC) and the 16-day rotation. See below... NOTE/FUNDAY MOD.?: On the Funday examination, let's launch a consideration of this matter. The thinking on this now is let's keep Fun in the abbreviation, and the basic notion, as fun and games, amusement parks, etc. are still part of this dayname purpose(!), but let's ensure the fun is what will be blessed by God, even if simple or uncomplicated. There is now a possibility of sort of doubling the fun with Fawnday, as we may look for their appearance on this day as well, so using 'w' or 'double-u' in place of u as in Fwn (or, Fwn ) may also be an appropriate abbreviation! Also, regarding flora and fauna, even most amusement parks include or once included beautiful flowers/plants and often animals of some sort, again in a parklike setting. However, with this matter of fawns, as deer young, this can be an unending delight to look for and see or actually witness their appearance and closeness to parents, and sometimes their playfulness. Also, golf courses have been advanced by me to be considered for a more parklike atmosphere where people can more readily come and watch, not only local community leaders play, but also enjoy picnics and in some areas plant or wildlife discovery. It is becoming evident that on certain days, deer with their young will tend to make appearances, and as has been seen with other days on the 8 Day Calendar, or 16-day rotation, that Faunaday or Fawnday is just such a day. Also, they can evidently give birth practically ANY time of the year , not just one season or something!!! As far as watching golf, I think courses will find generally that every third hole, 3-6-9 etc., will often be a place where there is better access back to the clubhouse and an Okay place for improved seating areas around the green, etc. Also, concessions may be considered on important days, at least. Deer and other wildlife should find plenty to eat themselves, but it is becoming understood now that popped corn or "popcorn", as it is popped, or with the right kind of salt lightly added, preferably iodized then half with Pink Himalayan salt, again not too much salt, should become recognized as safe for practically all wildlife that is truly hungry. A SIDE NOTE: On the golf course, aim for either the yellow or maybe "green" popcorn more than the white, some greenskeepers may thank you...but if you somehow actually find "green" popcorn, let me know about it, because I've yet to come across any--safe for deer, anyway--on second thought, let's just stick with yellow or white--it shouldn't really make a difference!!! There could also be other parks nearby with improved settings and better attendance or funding, and be enjoyed more by visitors. Other gardens and parks may also be improved and enjoyed by locals even more! Thus much is possible as we consider this day, when indications are that certain wildlife are more active and visible on this day, whether considered Funday, Fawnday, or Faunaday, with Flora and Fauna again meaning Flowers/Plants and Wildlife, both of exciting interest esp. when accompanied by carefully-prepared educational and media-oriented instruction, perhaps changed-up occasionally. _____GA[2] GOLDEN APPLES ADJUSTMENT TO COMPREHEND 'LAW' WITH AN ADDITIONAL 'L' In my blogposts I've begun substituting "lawl" for "law" or "lall". Many recall the explanation that the "l" sound at the end can be needed for the young to comprehend the word and it's meaning. Yet "lall" has not been that well received. There is a meaning to "awl" in the Scriptures which I'll expand upon. But still, look at the word "lawl" itself--have you ever heard of the expression "keep it between the lines"? Written in lowercase, you basically have the sidelines around the letters 'a' and 'w'. What could these letters stand for? How about "actions" and "words"? How much can be rightly done if both our actions and words are exercised within the proper limits, or 'kept between the lines'! There were instructions in God's lawl regarding slaves and slave owners, God's Lawl outlining a way for those in desperate need back then to have needs met and pay off debt, for instance. Some slave owners were, as God's lawl promoted, good to such ones, caring about their needs and welfare. Occasionally, when the time came for a temporary slave to be set free and leave, some had come to love their owner or master so much that they did not want to go! In such a case of genuine loyalty, or loyal love, for the master, God's lawl instructed the master to literally get an awl, which many know is a tool with a metal pointed rod for woodworking and such, and pierce the right ear of the slave (the ear having no nerves there, thus not painful), and declare him as owned for time indefinite (as God sees fit). Thus he would become a part of the family of the master, and in this way God illustrated an example of true loyal love between such persons, with the ear indicating a person's listening ability and willingness to listen, with respect for a loving head. Likewise, God's instructions through Christ mean everlasting life to those who listen and come to heed them! And listening to additional lawls of our land contributes to safety, and the peace and harmony that all of us wish to live with respecting God's loving and just rule that is near! _____GA[3] GOLDEN APPLES 2020 ELECTION--FINDING TRUTH Have you ever tried to solve a mystery, and you receive several clues, what you might think should be enough to figure it out, but things still don't add up? Until this one important clue is discovered, and then it all starts to make sense and come together? Such is the case with the current plight of our nation and it relates to the 2020 Election for President of the United States. While Donald Trump still claims to have won the election, there was another party, if you will, a candidate that reached the public by educating, revealing policies, and responding to current events all via a website, findlifeandsee.com, largely the blog. You see, my campaign was hindered by a few knowing of me, considering me a political rival. Evidently, Donald Trump had illegally "sequestered" me, although I had done no wrong. But the law allows for my situation, and basically says to do what you can do. So through my website, while promoting peace, and reasoned examination of several key issues, many came to see that I was rightly qualified to address our nation's needs, respond to challenges, strengthen our economy and solve problems in agreement with divine wisdom that honors God in the way most of our founding fathers did, that started this nation on a course of greatness. This led to receiving a large number of mail-in votes, that through some sort of technological trick, managed to disappear before the eyes of those covering the election results. Because I got left off the general election ballot, without being truly given an opportunity to confirm my qualification, those were the only votes I was able to receive as an Independent candidate, still rightly able to receive votes alongside then President Donald Trump and Joe Biden--but still enough to win the election! {Many may be unaware that the two-party system we currently have in Congress began when under an early President the Democratic-Republican Party was broken into two separate parties. I became "Independent" legally without my initial realization, as I had begun my campaign as Republican, but then I decided to switch with concerns over then-party integrity. {At the time, faith was indeed growing among Democrats, and I was about bringing our parties together, at least in more peaceable cooperation.} By law, this made me an Independent candidate, as was George Washington. Since some voters considered me Republican, and others Democratic, I believe it was on this basis that my votes somehow got redistributed between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. {In fact, it has been determined that without my votes included at all in the way just described, Donald Trump would have been considered the winner, again though with the misconception that I somehow was not considered a qualified candidate, and the true winner of the 2020 Presidential Election...} I appeal to all lovers of truth, justice, and Election Integrity, to consider this matter and see that I indeed remained a qualified candidate, and that this redistribution was not as acceptable as it somehow may have been made to appear. God prepared me for this role, with what I've learned and experienced over some {few decades}, to handle, along with peace-loving, wise, and talented followers, issues that can bring about many improvements, the peaceful conditions for which human hearts long, and even the "more perfect union" that our Founding Fathers intended. Ref. R03.670 _____GA[4] GOLDEN APPLES In the News... 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 especially after heavy physical labor, exercise, etc. One of the real problems in this regard has been some persuasive wrongdoers, who despite mistreating others, believe (and want others to believe) that by showering or bathing every day, they remain a clean person, as if doing no wrong. God's love for all should move such persons to desire to truly obey Him, becoming and remaining pure in God's sight, choosing not to lie, cheat, steal, etc., but rather look to God for right desires. This does not require excessive, but rather normal, hygiene and body care. Another important area is where there is already dishwasher use. Water-saving modes on dishwashers, or installation of newer ones having such features can make a substantial difference, especially in restaurants, with well-designed models and appropriate detergents. This should be accompanied by practices such as dish scraping/wiping food into garbage and preliminary spot wiping as needed. For those washing in traditional ways, here is another water-saving method. Rather than requiring excess running of water to get a hot temperature, most detergents will work being applied to a sponge that is then soaked by distilled white vinegar, making possible effective dish cleaning in cold water! Be sure to turn water off when possible to save while washing, etc. prior to rinse. The vinegar is the key to allowing for cold water washing and less waste. Be careful not to wash out the vinegar too quickly with excessive sink water. _____GA[5] GOLDEN APPLES THEME MATTERS OF SIGNIFICANCE, RELATED TO PRIOR ELECTION, BUT LOOKING AHEAD... 1:45 pm Update. DESPITE SUPPRESSION . Despite suppression of the truth of the 2020 election that has taken place in certain areas of the country, there are yet many who have come to realize that I did win the election, but there was misinformation and attempts to mislead or confuse the issues surrounding the true election results. Donald Trump, with various influences compounding the issue, I believe, contributed largely to this. Nevertheless I continue to advance, when I've been able, some of the good things that many know I am still eager to accomplish in the remainder of this term and beyond, things that were at times being credited to others besides me. Rarely, it seems, at least in the Washington DC region, has my policy and educational work, economic and humanitarian support, good health and healthcare promotion, affordable housing ideas, life improvements reflected in object designs and business ideas, and my rightful presidency, been even marginally acknowledged, at least officially in various public venues or media presentations. Yet I have faith in the good of all, even those doing work in such areas, that we wish the truth to prevail and be made known as it will benefit our society, whether on a city, state, national, or global community level. TO CLARIFY : I wish to clarify at this time, as I have made known in the past, that during the 2021 Presidential Inauguration, I was where by law the rightful winner of the Election was required to be, and took the oath at the same time as Joe Biden--saying it correctly. I still view Joe as being in place, under unusual circumstances, to be "Biding" time for me to assume my place when circumstances would make it possible, as I've sought to be respectfully invited to be where I should (this has happened more than once), and welcome at all times afterward, despite the difficulties I've faced (that interfered previously, working to get to the bottom of it, with God's help). Some have been confused or misinformed about my patriotism and respect for our nation. I stand with the Founders of our Nation, as God blessed them to compose spirit-inspired documents, such as the Declaration and the U.S. Constitution, and other inspired supporting documents, like letters among them and the Federalist Papers directed toward citizens of New York, for instance, that help confirm God's blessing on the Republic, that higher form of democracy, needing our adherence to laws carefully crafted as U.S. bylaws and other laws making possible God's blessing on what we do by keeping them, and doing the right thing as we care for the needs of the nation, our citizens and others, as God has purposed. True prosperity is a result of careful attention to such matters. When problems arise in our nation, it is NOT our democratic Republic that should ever be considered as at fault, but rather we must look for the real reasons for the problem or problems, addressing these, that God's blessing itself through the Christ may remain on the Nation that He has blessed to have the purpose of blessing all nations of earth, as we look to God to bless us. STILL RUNNING ! I'd like all to know that I am still running to continue as the rightful 46th President of the U.S., only this time actually being in the White House and before the public, discussing much more freely the solutions such as I've already presented on a number of the serious issues facing our nation, and which the campaign more willing to show genuine faith in God (and myself) has been considerably more agreeable to support. Kamala has been speaking somewhat as I would have been before now...More on this to come... I believe something happened to Donald Trump along the way that turned someone who would have been more agreeable, looking above, to thinking a different way. This seems to be how he's presenting himself to the public. However, we need, not just human muscle, but God's strength, with His wisdom, to achieve the results we need. It was more than just 'not raising a stink' about the election results that contributed to not being where I should be until now. As many have come to find out, forces were at work that have been plaguing human society for decades. Many of these, with God's blessing, and for everyone's sake, are no longer of effect. May God continue to bless us all as we seek to fulfill the role God has for each of us, to be successful together doing things in line, and by the laws, that God has established for maintaining His blessing on our activity, as one Nation under God! ---Michael Camelangemy _____(2) Psalmz Select and SongzWeekly _____PS[1] PSALM SELECT You may recall that the word 'law' at times is being adjusted to 'lawl' to illustrate the lines such as which laws indicate and remind us, and both Actions and Words, the 'a' and the 'w', needing to be kept 'between the lines', again as 'lawl'. This sprang up mainly because in language there is usually a need for an ending consonant sound, which the 'w' does not provide, in this case 'l' to be pronounced for the word to be truly understood or to comprehend inside or deep inside the ear and mind. Psalm 1 Blessed (or, Rewarded) is the one who doesn't walk according to ungodly advice, or stand on the path of wrongdoers, or sit in the seat of a scoffer (one mocking). 2 but rather, whose enjoyment is found in God's lawl, hearing and then pondering that lawl throughout each day. 3 This one will be like a tree (among many), planted by gushing (or, mighty) streams of water, that produces fruit in season, without a withering leaf-- And whatever this one does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly (or, crooked) are not the same; Their ways are like the chaff that, come harvest, gets carried away by the wind. 5 That is why those will not remain standing in time of judgement, nor will ungodly ones, persistently aiming to sin, remain standing in the assembly of the upright. 6 For Jeloivaz is aware of the ways of the upright, But the ways of the wrongful will fly away with the wind. _____PS[2] PSALMZ SELECT Psalm 72, GNB Glory and Universality of the Messiah’s Reign 1.

What I've gone through also has enabled keen insight into David's experiences and provides many fine lessons for all to benefit from as we endeavor to live life as God purposed, in a way that brings genuine peace, real satisfaction and eventual prosperity, in true love.

While not wanting to neglect other valuable psalms, containing many important lessons of their own, we can nevertheless still benefit from reviewing this priceless one of David, anointed to be king, having endured many years to finally receive that privileged right. Why not both--if we continue Psalm Select, segment (2), with selections from the spirit-inspired psalms, we can gain even more insight into the spirit of God, or the "goodforce" that we may receive as we love God and His word of truth, and that can stir or motivate us in the doing of God's loving desire/will for people everywhere. According to 1Timothy 2:3-4 that involves the saving of people everywhere, as they come to an accurate knowledge of the genuine truth about God! This truth is not as it has sometimes been represented. God's word and law is truly reasonable, as there are answers within it that not all yet know about or comprehend. Thus we can truly find genuine joy and satisfaction within God's law OR lawl (needed for proper language decipher, and reminds us to keep our !Actions and Words! 'between the lines'!!), rather than without it nor outside of it! God's loving desire or will also thus involves the genuine peace and security that His word has promised. Grateful for the gift of life, realizing where it has come from, is a great start. Then, seeking real peace with others, willing to look to God to grow and for help as we need it, we may look forward to many blessings to come, with greater love for God and others! Such should be everyone's upright desire to attain. Many may not realize it, but God's word can be fulfilled in a way that confirms God's love for His entire angelic and human family as a whole, which he and his Son, myself and many others aim to preserve, along with genuine peace. God's word says "seek peace and pursue it." Godly instruction is thus involved. For some, it may require more faith or thankful trust in God and His word. For others, it may be that what's needed is to better comprehend the respectful fear of God, the vital spirit of true humility--a humble respect for God and His decisions and purposes, and for fellow humans--replacing an arrogant attitude of superiority (letting it die, as it were, which denies or lacks serious faith or trust in God). Also important is acknowledging How God Jehovah or Jehoivaz (name explanation to follow) is still accomplishing His will for a peace-loving world, even through the corrections of those within the United States and elsewhere, desiring the happiness of the entire human family on Earth. Let's do all we can to promote such genuine peace, remaining peace-lovers as the wisdom of God teaches us to do.

PSALM 119 (5Psalm 13) COMMENTARY INTRODUCTION UPCOMING COMMENTARY . As mentioned previously, Psalm 119 is an acrostic, or an alphabetic song, with each succeeding 8-verse section beginning with the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet, evidently done so primarily for assistance with memorization. Evidently, the psalmist David, anointed to be king, considered the lessons of this psalm so important and helpful to all that he wanted to make it easier to remember and recall in the acrostic format. This makes 8 x 22 letters = 176 total verses. The 22 sections (of 8 verses each) can break down to 2 sets of 11, and these sets may be further grouped. This time I wish to modify the pattern from 4-4-3 to that I now believe was most intended, a 4-3-4 for the first 11-stanza half of the psalm, and a 3-5-3 for the last 11 stanzas. Beginning with the next Psalm 119 blog post I wish to offer an overview of the first 4 sections, then consider it gradually, typically a 4-verse half-section at a time, at least twice per week, and then a review summary as well. I wish to refine or update the commentary where appropriate. We may thus consider, by commentary, 8+ individual verses, of the loving and inspired work, per week. We can then proceed with each succeeding stanza the same way, with a preview and verse-by-verse consideration, and review, continuing to complete each of the two sets of 11 sections. A broader review of each half of 11 sections is also provided. Thus 4-3-4 (11), and 3-5-3 (11) with previews and reviews, however I may place more emphasis on each of the 3-, 4-, and 5- stanza Reviews, numbering 3 per half, and save the larger reviews until the end. In this way much can be gained from this valuable psalm. Within it there are so many things to appreciate! God reveals through the psalmist the importance of having deep love for Him and His word, and for those who could benefit from it (hoping everyone)! There is an intriguing connection between this 119th (5#13) psalm and Psalm 19, which also highlights various aspects of God's word such as His (1)"lawl", (2)"reminders", (3)"orders", (4)"commandments", and (5)"judgements." These five aspects are introduced in Psalm 119 in the exact same order, although with two others inserted in between them! Psalm 19 is clearly credited to David as a melody by him, which I now believe was a later work, and formed as a much shorter review of such key aspects of God's word, while Psalm 119 is now understood to have connections to his earlier time while anointed to become king. On God's name, Jehovaz or Jehoivaz implies continued joy or 'joi' and still carries meaning of 'He Who Causes to Become and Grow'. Let's notice the reading of Psalm 19:7-14, also beautifully inspired of God. "7 The law of Jehovaz is perfect, restoring strength. The reminder of Jehoivaz is trustworthy, making the [naive] one wise. 8 The orders from Jehoivaz are righteous, causing the heart to rejoice; The commandment of Jehoivaz is clean, making the eyes shine[or, "enlightening the eyes", AMP]. 9 The [respectful or godly fear/regarding] of Jehoivaz is pure, lasting forever. The judgements of Jehoivaz are true, altogether righteous. 10 They are more desirable than gold, Than much fine gold, And sweeter than honey, the honey that drips from the combs. 11 By them your servant has been warned; In keeping them, there is a large reward. 12 Who can discern mistakes? Pronounce me innocent from sins I am unaware of. 13 And hold your servant back from presumptuous acts (defying your lawl); Do not let them dominate me. Then I will be complete, And innocent of blatant/intentional sins. 14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be pleasing to you, O Jehoivaz, my Rock and my Redeemer." Altogether there are about 10 aspects of God's word or law highlighted in Psalm 119, with possibly two or more significant related values mentioned. The 5 aspects highlighted above appear in successive order in Psalm 119, with two others inserted among the first 7, those being God's "ways" and "regulations," or , "lawls of conduct." "Regulations" need to be understood as the beneficial laws or instructions governing, or regulating, our conduct so as to promote respect, fairness, and peace among citizens and residents of a community, for instance. The expression "instructions" or even "lines of living" might be appropriate alternate expressions, also perhaps 'lawls and limits', 'regulanes', and 'regulines'. The remaining terms are God's "word," His "saying" and His "statutes." The two related values mentioned, perhaps among others, are the "respectful fear" or 'regarding' of Jehoivaz and His "works." We want to come to understand each of these terms, so we can better comprehend their value in relation to God's wisdom. In the next blog post, let's have a PREVIEW of the first 4 alphabetic segments of Psalm 119, verses 1-32, beginning with a key truth, as highlighted in the first verse, that true happiness depends on walking in God's lawl, where genuine satisfaction may be found! Verse 1 reads: "Happy are those who are blameless in their way, Who walk in the lawl of Jehoivaz." Is it reasonable to do so? How can we? Let's give this more attention. _____ More Preview information to come... PSALM 119 COMMENTARY PREVIEW STANZAS 1-4 , verses 1-32 What stirring lessons are to be found in the 119th Psalm (5Psa.13)! Let's begin by previewing the first four stanzas. A dominant point of the first stanza is found in the first verse: STANZA 1 THEME: HAPPINESS IS FOUND IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD . "1 Happy are those who are blameless in their way [or, "who keep integrity"], Who walk in the law of Jehoivaz." Thus we will see that happiness depends on obedience to God's law or lawl. Complete righteousness, however, is only attainable, as true Christians have come to know, through faith or deep trust in God, His word, Christ's example and the ransom provision of Christ's sacrifice allowing true forgiveness of sins, or occasional misses, but all this with the aim of love for God and neighbor, shown by genuine obedience. (1John 5:3). Abraham's faith was "counted to him as righteousness" as he loyally walked with God. (James 2:23). STANZA 2 THEME: BY GOD'S WORD A YOUTH CAN REMAIN MORALLY CLEAN AND PURE . What about the second stanza? Verse 9 highlights how a young man can remain spiritually clean. This is by "keeping on guard according to [God's] word." This idea of "keeping on guard" is expressed this way in another translation: by "taking heed and keeping watch [on himself] according to [God's] word [conforming his life to it]." (Psalm 119:9, AMP). STANZA 3 THEME: FONDNESS FOR GOD'S WORD VITAL FOR FAITHFULNESS . The third stanza, covering verses 17-24, highlights how fondness for God's word is vital for faithfulness. Verse 18 pleads to God: "Open my eyes so that I may see clearly The wonderful things from your lawl." Christians are exhorted, at 1Peter 2:2, "2 As newborn infants, form a longing for the unadulterated (uncontaminated, unspoiled) milk of the word, so that by means of it you may grow to salvation." STANZA 4 THEME: WE CAN REMAIN FAITHFUL UNDER TRIALSOME CIRCUMSTANCES . The fourth stanza, verses 25-32, explains that, with God's help, we can remain faithful to God even under trialsome circumstances. Verses 25,28 say: "I lie prostrate in the dust. Preserve me alive according to your word...I have been sleepless from grief. Strengthen me according to your word." In both statements the psalmist relies upon the word of God, including His promise of support. 1Corinthians 10:13 explains: "No temptation has come upon you except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out so that you may be able to endure it." Still, accordingly it should be rare if ever that we undergo an uncommon trial--as we seek to remain faithful, the truth of our sincerity and loyalty to God and others should eventually become clear, with wishes that wrongdoers might turn around, abandoning wrong conduct, preferring God's kindness, as explained in Psalm 103. Such matters as these, as God's word addresses, will be considered more thoroughly. Thus we have much to look forward to as we examine these and other vital points of faith. May we appreciate the lessons God offers in this psalm for our spiritual welfare and that of others, as we gain understanding and insight into such matters! _____ PSALM 119 COMMENTARY STANZA 1A See also bottom for another acceptable name for Jesus! ON GOD'S NAME : Since the printing of the King James Version of God's word beginning in 1611, many began to accept the personal name of God in English as shown at Exodus 6:3 and Psalm 83:18, as Jehovah. However, with the ending "vah" the true meaning of God's name was still in question. It has become clearer with more careful consideration of past usage and word meanings, that a switch of vowels adjustment is all that's necessary to confirm the true name as JEHAVOZ' OR JEHAVOIZ, OR NOW MORE SO: JEHOVAZ/JEHOIVAZ IF acknowledging both God and Christ as in Revelation, the 'First and the Last', the 'Alpha and the Omega', but in English, acceptably translated the 'A and the Z' as the LORD AZGOD, with Christ above "the Lord" serving AzGod until God's primary will has been accomplished regarding this earth, and He later hands all things back to His God and Father, that God may be all things to all persons (1Cori 15), in such case the name may currently legitimately be either JEHOVAZ or JEHOIVAZ (pronounced JE[E]-HO(I)-VAZ'), that's an I replacing an L as it is understood it should naturally appear both lower- and uppercase (and really acknowledging joy (joi) associated with God and His genuine word and law/lawl), although it can be as two l's (ll) in Uppercase, which can have significant meaning in some words. In this journey regarding God's name JEHOVOEZ started much of this, having been thought of as completing the meaning as "He Who Causes to Become, Grow, and Increase," but now with JEHOIVAZ [which can be pronounced simply as though it is plural of Jehovah, which is the grammar] it can be understood that the "oe" or long-o sound and meaning can be in the "HO" portion of the name, while the AZ, with both God and the Lord in Revelation being as mentioned earlier, referred to as 'the Alpha and the Omega'--in English, the 'A and the Z'--a language chosen and capable of modern translation, with the Lord becoming 'AzGod'. They are both so in that they can start and end important 'projects' if you will, as in life, the ending always leading to something else or something better, and typically with Joy(Joi) associated with it, as the letter 'H' can refer to two of something, but one, like JOY(JOI) here now, and leading to another, like Joy has lead to God's Realm or Kingdom, as depicted in Revelation as a 'BOY', or 'Male Child', of course this was involving both a Christ and many persons, men and women, as a beautiful woman bride supporting, really, both 'the Lord and His Christ'. This name, JEHOIVAZ reminding of the LORD AZGOD's Charge of Vows or Valz, determining whether any Vow/Val is acceptable, such as if He truly agrees, that it truly complies with His will, word, and loving lawl. With this insight, the new short form (JOEZ or JOIZ, as in 'Joiz Jehoivaz') carries the meaning "God increases," and again, the complete expression, but now 'He Who Causes to Become and Grow, or Increase.' God's name in this English form was in use centuries ago. It is hoped that with this understanding, many Bible translations will consider using God's name where it appears in original Bible manuscripts, throughout God's word, in over 7,000 places, rather than "LORD" in all capitals, however with understanding of the "Lord" Christ. ANOTHER NAME FOR JESUS : As regards the only-begotten Son of God, his true name has also been misconstrued. He has a Hebrew name, which is quite disimilar to the name that became most recognized in English. Matthew's gospel actually originally used 4 Hebrew letters for his true name, rather than the name evidently proposed by Caesar, translated to Jesus, with an entirely different meaning--"He Makes Wet." This is the name that eventually began to be used by copyists in the Greek Manuscripts, but was not the name his early disciples used or kept in their hearts. That name has the meaning "Jehoivaz is Salvation," and is most correctly transliterated to English as JEHOSHUAZ, which may be pronounced just as it looks in English. I was initially using "Jehosha," with the similar meaning, but for the most correct pronunciation, the "u" as in Joshua (also similar) is deemed necessary, but still three syllables. I have referred to the names Jesus, Jehosha and sometimes Josha as commonly found some of my past website/article material, but the Greek/English translation of Isaiah, SPELLED JEISHAZ (meaning 'God Increases'), but PRONOUNCED ( JEE-shuz ), this plural name JEISHAZ (or Jeishalz) should be more commonly found going forward. What a great transition from the name Jesus, mentioned above, although he did good teaching, baptizing, etc. Due to the recentness of the development and awareness of these facts, I may still use both Jesus and Jeisha(l)z throughout this Psalm 119 (5Psalm 13) commentary. It is yet unclear whether I will at this time re-record my podcast work to reflect this change, or merely pick up with the second half of Psalm 119.

This may also now be found on Apple Podcasts) STANZA 1 Theme: TRUE HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON WALKING IN GOD'S LAWL The first 8 verses contain 7 different terms used throughout this psalm. Let's examine these terms to be able to better comprehend their contribution to godly wisdom. The first few verses also show that it is possible and reasonable to keep God's law, to practice or live by it! Notice how this is worded, as we consider the first stanza in it's entirety: "Happy are those who are blameless in their way, Who walk in the law of Jehavoz. 2 Happy are those who observe his reminders, Who search for him with all their heart. 3 They practice no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways. 4 You have commanded That your orders be carefully kept. 5 If only I could remain steadfast So as to observe your lawls and limits! 6 Then I would not be put to shame When I consider all your commandments. 7 I will praise you with an upright heart When I learn your righteous judgements. 8 I will observe your lalls and limits. May you never utterly forsake me." TRUE HAPPINESS FOUND . As mentioned in our preview, an outstanding point of this stanza is that true happiness depends on walking in God's lawl, and true Christians do so by faith, or thankful trust, in God, His word, and Jehoshua's (or Jesus') example and ransom provision for true forgiveness of sins with genuine repentance--turning around from an erring course (Acts 3:19). Notice the expressions here, that such ones finding happiness really do "practice no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways." Another translation says "They do no wrong but follow his ways." (Psalm 119:3, NIV). Thus it is not only possible to obey God--it is reasonable and highly rewarding to do so! May each person plead to God for a proper view of loving and serving Him obediently, His orders being "carefully kept!" A proper view of God is thus essential to growing spiritually. Also, God's word shows that He would have, which Joeshalz (or Jesus) should oversee, a channel of instruction, called a "faithful and discreet slave" through which spiritual food, and guidance, would be provided for the benefit of the entire Christian household on earth. (Matth 24:45-47). We trust that such an organization would seek to remain faithful to God, carefully teaching in accord with God's love for all (John 3:16; 2Peter 3:9), refusing to violate Jesus' warnings against improperly judging or condemning others with genuine faithor belief in Christ, who sincerely seek integrity to God's word in spite of some differences in understanding (John 3:16-17). It would be the genuine truth of God that should be promoted, clearing up any misunderstandings causing confusion among those who would be true Christians worldwide. When such an organization humbly corrects wrong teachings, it demonstrates the love that goes hand in hand with humility. While their faithfulness and obedience can be blessed by God, as an organization it generally cannot claim perfection being made up of imperfect people--humility should thus always mark such an organization, with a willingness to make adjustments in teaching when errors, large or small, become revealed in God's way. We may pray that such a channel of instruction become and remain spiritually pure before our holy God. Now let's begin considering at least the 10 terms mentioned in verses 1-16, starting with the first 7. Verse 1 reads this way: "Happy are those who are blameless in their way, Who walk in the lawl of Jehovaz." ' THE LAWL OF JEHOVAZ ' Verse 1 mentions God's LAWL, which can be defined as a singular custom or practice of a community, or a rule of conduct prescribed and enforced by a controlling authority. In verse 1, however, reference is made, not to a single lawl, but rather to the whole body of such customs, practices, or rules. Psalm 19:7 says "The LAWL of Jehovaz is perfect, restoring strength." Verse 2: "Happy are those who observe his reminders, Who search for him with all their heart." GOD'S REMINDERS . Verse 2 speaks of God's REMINDERS. Peter said, at 2Peter 1:12-13,15: "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.13 But I consider it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle (grand tent), to stir you with reminders,...15 I will always do my utmost so that after my departure, you may be able to recall these things for yourselves." so God's REMINDERS assist our memory of God's truth and good guidance, to be better able to apply it to our life. Often this requires hearing something more than just once! So may we not fall into the trap of complaining when we hear something more than once--we need these, to ponder how to apply them in our lives! "The REMINDER of Jehovaz is trustworthy, making the imprudent one wise." (Psalm 19:7). "3 They practice no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways." TRULY FAITHFUL PRACTICES . Verse 3 mentions walking in God's WAYS. Clearly, God has ways of doing things, and if possible, we want to do things God's way--we can be happy to know the way God wants us to do something--He sees the big picture, and long-range view, and thus knows the best way to do things! Thus, David writes, at Psalm 37:34, "Hope in Jehovaz and follow his way, and he will exalt you to take possession of the earth..." This verse thus indicates that we really can learn to live by God's peaceable and loving standards, according to His ways. And we might be reminded that the ransom sacrifice, to be expounded more in this psalm's commentary, makes possible a clean standing with God even when there is yet a lot to learn about Him and His ways. "4 You have commanded That your orders be carefully kept." GOD'S ORDERS--CAREFULLY KEPT . Verse 4 speaks of God's ORDERS to be "carefully kept." Recall Psalm 19:8 says "The ORDERS from Jehovaz are righteous, causing the heart to rejoice." Clearly a command to do or avoid something, evidently with even more urgency or zeal than a command or commandment. God may even "order" or have directed that a certain command found in His word be especially kept at a particular time or in a certain situation, due to it's timely importance or significance. _____ PSALM 119 COMMENTARY STANZA 1B Recall the Theme for Stanza 1: TRUE HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON WALKING IN GOD'S Let's see how this is developed with the remaining 4 verses of Stanza 1: "5 I hope to remain steadfast So as to observe your natural lawl!" GOD'S REGULATIONS . Verse 5 mentions observing God's REGULATIONS, OR NOW NATURAL LAW. This is defined as authoritative, and often detailed, rules of life or procedures, given to regulate or control a body, an organization or system, or something to acknowledge about life from God generally. In this context, they need to be understood as the beneficial laws and guidelines governing, or regulating, our conduct so as to live and find true satisfaction, and encouraging respectful and peaceable dealings with one another. In Scripture, when in the plural, this term has been more simply translated as INSTRUCTIONS. Whereas the expressions "LINES OF LIVING" and now " NATURAL LAW " may present a refreshing view, other options may include the phrase ' points of life ' as well as words such as 'regulines' [a natural law that draws the line on something, including fair and protective upper and lower limits, and may include supportive signage, etc.] or 'regulanes' [one that establishes supportive details regarding an important lawl or sets of lawls, and may also include helpful signage, etc.]. Due to the readiness to comprehend and relate to the term, both the word 'regulines' and the phrases 'natural law' and 'lines of living' seem to capture most closely the essence of it. "6 Then I would not be put to shame When I consider all your commandments." GOD'S COMMANDMENTS . Verse 6 speaks of God's COMMANDMENTS. Something commanded, or required to either do or avoid. Psalm 19:8 says "The commandment of the Jehovaz is clean, making the eyes shine [or, "enlightening the eyes."--AMP]. Along with faith in Christ's ransom provision, we need to heed God's commandments, coming to realize the benefit and protections afforded by doing so--we are able to deal with others in a respectful way, promoting peace. God's commandments preserve our purity before God, making it possible to serve Him acceptably and see things clearly, with keen spiritual vision, avoiding many pitfalls. "7 I will praise you with an upright heart When I learn your righteous judgements." WORTHY JUDGEMENTS . Verse 7 mentions God's righteous JUDGEMENTS. These are evaluations formed by discerning and comparing or contrasting. His evaluations and decisions should be respected and appreciated, and often much can be learned from them. They are "true, altogether righteous." (Psalm 19:9). "8 I will observe your natural law. May you never utterly forsake me." GOD'S NATURAL LAW God's regulations, or now presenting natural law as a most appropriate translation with historical significance, involves the everyday lines of conduct and points of life that we should recognize to live as God purposed, promoting genuine peace and happiness, with a loving, unselfish motive. May we come to recognize this natural law, as highly valuable for life in a Realm of God's Making, and certainly under God's Kingdom. Thus we have seven of at least ten terms highlighted throughout Psalm 119 (5Ps13). Thinking about these with a view to comprehending or understanding them will help you make more sense of our consideration of this Psalm in the days ahead, and may help you grow in godly discernment, understanding, and wisdom! _____ STANZA 2A _____Ps119[3] THEME FOR STANZA 2: BY GOD'S WORD A YOUTH CAN REMAIN MORALLY CLEAN OR PURE . As mentioned in the preview, an outstanding point of this stanza is that by God's word a youth can remain morally clean or pure. This was by "keeping on guard according to [God's] word." Let's first consider the 3 remaining terms of the 10 that are found in verses 9, 11, and 16. These refer to God's (1) word, (2) saying, and (3) statutes. Clearly God's WORD refers to His expressions, or the entirety of them, whether found in the Bible, or given through any chosen channel of communication, such as through His servant Moses, the true prophets, or esp. His Son, Jehoishaz, or Jesus. Such a spokesperson may be considered a "mouthpiece" of God. His Son said, at Matthew 4:4, "...Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from Jehoivaz's mouth." So it involves our very life to give attention to God's word regularly, as we do nourishing physical food. God's SAYING refers similarly to an expression of God, evidently something especially cherished or remembered. Proverbs 16:24 says "Pleasant sayings are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and a healing to the bones." Also, God's STATUTES are mentioned, as something we should be fond of, helping us not to forget God's word. As used in the Scriptures, reference is several times made to a "lasting statute," meaning a law that held special permanence or longevity among all of God's laws. For instance, the day Israel had left Egypt en-route to the Promised Land, God said, at Exodus 12:14: "“‘This day will serve as a memorial for you, and you must celebrate it as a festival to Jehoivaz throughout your generations. As a lasting statute, you should celebrate it." The day has therefore carried over into Christianity, as the Memorial of Christ's death, similar to Good Friday, as the Passover lamb of their meal foreshadowed Christ's sacrificial death. Accordingly, at Numbers 9:14, God says, in reference to commemorating the Passover meal: "...There should exist one statute for you, both for the foreign resident and for the native of the land." On one occasion, God added a "statute" to the existing law code, when requiring that no one enter the Holy compartment of the tabernacle "drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages." He then said "It is a permanent statute for your generations." Thus Jehoivaz may have set a precedent in allowing statutes to be added to the Mosaic Law when circumstances necessitated it. Such laws should always support and prove to be in agreement with God's laws and standards, never contributing to their violation. That was not the case with many of the traditions or hedging rules of Pharisees and others during the earthly ministry of God's Son, which he showed were teaching people to do things in violation of God's written law and word. (Mark 7:9-13). At least now we've considered the ten or so terms repeated throughout Psalm 119, which will help us grasp the meaning and significance of the many expressions we'll find. May we look forward to such rewarding study, remembering to seek God's spirit as we examine such things each day, for His blessing and guidance on our spiritual intake! Now let's proceed with a verse-by-verse commentary of this Stanza 2, (St.2:1-8) 5Psalm 13:9-16: The theme, again, is: BY GOD'S WORD A YOUTH CAN REMAIN MORALLY CLEAN OR PURE . "9 How can a young man keep his path clean? By keeping on guard according to your word. 10 With my whole heart I seek you. Do not let me stray from your commandments. 11 In my heart I treasure up your saying So that I may not sin against you. 12 May you be praised, O Jehovoe; Teach me your laws and limits. 13 With my lips I declare All the judgments that you have spoken. 14 I rejoice over your reminders More than over all other valuable things. 15 I will ponder over your orders And keep my eyes on your paths. 16 I am fond of your statutes. I will not forget your word." PSALM 119 STANZA 2A "9 How can a young man keep his path clean? By keeping on guard according to your word." KEEPING ON GUARD . Young children are often safeguarded by parents and other responsible ones from much of the spiritual contamination that threatens to degrade the morality and spirituality of the naive lacking the understanding and foresight to realize the danger of such things. Proverbs 22:3 says: "The prudent one sees the danger and conceals himself, But the naive keep right on going and suffer the consequences." As these precious children grow, they should be helped to gain enough prudence to be aware and cautious of spiritual pitfalls that have been common during "critical times hard to deal with." (2Timo 3:1). While loving people, they will still need to guard their close associations from "bad company" that "corrupts good character." (1Cori 15:33, NIV; 2Timo 3:2-5). Thus, how can a young man keep his path clean? The answer is expressed this way in AMP: "By taking heed and keeping watch [on himself] according to Your word [conforming his life to it]." God's word, including the book of Proverbs, contains much divine instruction that can assist all to protect their spirit from ruin. May we treasure Christian teachings and guidance toward God's reward of eternal life, peace, and happiness! "10 With my whole heart I seek you. Do not let me stray from your commandments." LOVING GOD WITH ONE'S 'WHOLE HEART' Yes, especially in this world fraught with spiritual danger, do we need to rely upon Jehoivaz each day, seeking His guidance and direction, trusting Him to know what's best for us! The psalmist treasured his relationship with God, and sought Him with his "whole heart." Jehoishaz (or Jesus) said it was the greatest and first commandment of the Mosaic Law, to love God with all one's heart, soul, mind, and might. The apostle John writes, at 1John 5:3, that "this is what the love of God means, that we observe His commandments. Yet his commandments are not burdensome." Thus the psalmist pleads that God help him not to stray from His commandments. The Son of God said the second commandment, like the first, was to love one's neighbor as oneself. Then he said: "On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets." May we thus seek to grasp this love for God, desiring to please Him, in response to His great love for us! "11 In my heart I treasure up your saying So that I may not sin against you." TREASURING GOD'S SAYINGS . Regarding helping us to remain clean before God, verse 11 holds a key--treasuring God's saying, to avoid sinning against Him. Jehoishaz said, at Matthew 7:24, "“Therefore, everyone who hears these sayings of mine and does them will be like a discreet man who built his house on the rock." In God's word are found many motivating expressions helping us remain faithful to God, as we ponder them, endeavoring to see how to live by them each day. These sayings need to affect, not only our speech, but also our actions. It is not always enough simply to know God's standards, we need to develop heart appreciation for them, deliberately with prudence to see the blessings and rewards of choosing the right course, and some of the problems and troubles caused by choosing poorly. Thus we can more readily "hate what is bad" and choose a good path. (Psalm 97:10; Prove 2:20-22). "12 May you be praised, O Jehoivaz; Teach me your regulines and lanes." TEACH ME . Who is worthy of such praise or honor more than the progenitor of the human family, and Creator of this incredible universe and planet, and every good thing contained therein and upon. James 1:17 refers to God as the giver of "Every good gift and every perfect present." At Revelation 4:11, a heavenly group exuberantly states: "“You are worthy, Jehoivaz our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.” Acknowledging God's right to such glory, the psalmist next expresses desire to be taught God's good lawly guidelines governing human conduct--in other words, His "joyfield in bounds," "rules of conduct," or "lines of living." James counsels, at James 1:5, "So if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching, and it will be given him." Thus may our requests to God be regular, especially to understand and apply, or live by, His guidance in life, thus growing in our relationship with Him and with others, pleasing our loving God and Father, Jehoivaz, and strengthening our hope of an endless life in true peace and happiness! _____ STANZA 2B _____Ps119[4] PSALM 119 COMMENTARY STANZA 2B, the theme, again, is: BY GOD'S WORD A YOUTH CAN REMAIN MORALLY CLEAN OR PURE . "13 With my lips I declare All the judgements that you have spoken." VALUE GOD'S TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS . The psalmist recognizes the value of Jehoivaz'z judgements, as much can be learned from them. Psalm 19:9 says of these: "The judgements of Jehoivaz are true, altogether righteous." Thus His evaluations of matters can be counted upon, and learned from. While we usually think of God's judgements as regards situations involving right or wrong conduct, we should also trust God's judgements as to what truly is and isn't good, right, and important in life. When it comes to the situations mentioned, Jehoivaz'z judgements often emphasize His mercy and understanding toward His precious human creation, He looking for the causes of wrong behavior, rather than being quick to condemn. Still, He cannot condone evil, or wrong behavior, as we should ever appreciate His loving counsel, corrections and warnings, so as to live and act in harmony with His right standards, contributing toward the genuine peace and happiness of all humans. Such is the way of eternity! "14 I rejoice over your reminders More than over all other valuable things." FINDING DELIGHT IN GOD'S REMINDERS . What a fine statement of appreciation for God's loving reminders. His word outlines certain reminders that Christians should receive on a regular basis, to assist recall of all of God's instructions for living. How significant, that the psalmist not only knows these are important, but considers them so highly that he delights in them "more than all other valuable things!" It is God who provides His holy spirit to genuine Christians, the fruitage of which includes the quality of "joy"--a deep seated satisfaction we find in serving Jehoivaz faithfully. Nehemiah speaks of the "joy of Jehoivaz" as being a stronghold for His people. As we consider God's word regularly, may we come to find such delight in serving Jehoivaz, and being reminded of the important instructions He provides for our everlasting happiness! "15 I will ponder over your orders And keep my eyes on your paths." KEEPING GOD'S ORDERS . God's orders are special commands that God considers so serious or important now that He essentially demands they be kept by those so ordered to do so. We should appreciate the sincere and loving motive of Jehoivaz in giving such orders, as Psalm 19:8 says: "The orders from Jehoivaz are righteous, causing the heart to rejoice." By keeping such orders by Jehoivaz, we thus find heartfelt joy in the conduct God requires of His people everywhere. Recognizing the importance of this, then, the psalmist states he "will ponder over" God's orders. He thus makes time to reflect on these, considering the reasons for them so as to understand and discern their importance, thereby placing them high on his list of priorities in life. Also, the psalmist states that he will keep his eyes on God's paths. Thus, God's ways of doing things, as often outlined in His word, are the best ways of handling matters, as can be seen by examining them in the light of truth and what is right. "16 I am fond of your statutes. I will not forget your word." FONDNESS FOR GOD'S STATUTES . Jehoivaz'z statutes, as discussed previously, evidently are serious laws of a certain permanence among the people of God, and that may help adherents in some way to understand or recall other lawls and commands. We should therefore be "fond" of such overriding lawls, appreciating the reasons for them, like the psalmist. Having such fondness, he therefore states "I will not forget your word." Can you think of some of the more serious of Christian commands that stand out with seriousness and permanence? We should use the quality of discernment, or 'differtell' to tell the difference between the more serious sins, and lesser ones, though still required to avoid. And we should then take steps to help ensure that we never violate especially the most serious of God's lawls, with appreciation for the love of God which underscores all of them. Also, commands that aren't really lawls are often advice of what to aim for, or strive after, the right ways to think about things or do things. This should be taken as encouragement, helping us look in the mirror, and not to fault us but rather to see God's view of things and the way to genuine respect for Him, avoiding problems, making it easier to choose, understand, think and do the right thing, and find real satisfaction in life. _____Ps119[5] PSALM 119 COMMENTARY Stanza 3 Theme: FONDNESS FOR GOD'S WORD VITAL FOR FAITHFULNESS As mentioned in the preview, a key idea for this stanza is that Fondness for God's word is important for faithfulness. Notice verses 17-20: "17 Deal kindly with your servant, So that I may live and observe your word. 18 Open my eyes so that I may see clearly The wonderful things from your law/lawl. 19 I am but a foreigner in the land. Do not hide your commandments from me. 20 I am consumed with longing For your judgements at all times." Verses 21-24, offering more help in line with developing fondness for God's word, reads this way: "You rebuke the immodest (or, those crossing your boundaries), the ones receiving curses who are straying from your commandments. 22 Remove from me scorn and contempt, For I have observed your reminders. 23 Even when rulers sit together and speak against me, Your servant ponders over your lines of life. 24 I am fond of your reminders; They are my advisers." 17 Deal kindly with your servant, So that I may live and observe your word. WHAT A PRIVILEGE ! Psalm 119:17 Clearly, the psalmist found keen delight in obeying God's word--experiencing the deep joy and inner satisfaction that comes with obedience to God's commands. As Psalm 19:7-8 states: "The lawl of Jehovahz is perfect, restoring strength...The orders from Jehovahz are righteous, causing the heart to rejoice." Also, the psalmist humbly considered it a privilege to obey God and find such happiness, asking God that He "kindly" deal with him, and allow the privilege of doing so. 18 Open my eyes so that I may see clearly The wonderful things from your law/lawl. THE VALUE AND BEAUTY OF GOD'S LAW/LAWL ! Psalm 119:18 The psalmist recognizes that a person can be blind to the beautiful truths of God's word and law/lawl. This psalmist was evidently fairly familiar with God's law/lawl, and realized that accepting a bribe, as God's law/lawl stated, at Exodus 23:8 "blinds clear-sighted men and can distort the words of upright men." Also, any form of idolatry, exalting anyone or anything above the place only God should occupy in our hearts, causes those having eyes not to see, a reference to hampered spiritual vision. (Psalm 115). And Paul eludes to this, in referring to those influenced by Rebel's godship, at 2Corinthians 4:4, "among whom the god of the [confused administration mentioned previously] has blinded the minds of [those] unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through." Therefore, may we not be fooled into underestimating the value or beauty of God's law/lawl, nor the rewards of adhering thereto. Eternal life in true peace and happiness is surely worth every effort to attain! 19 I am but a foreigner in the land. Do not hide your commandments from me. TREASURE THE PRIVILEGE ! The psalm may not declare it's author openly, but verses such as this may assist us in recognizing his identity. Not many with such a grasp of God's laws and wisdom would be considered "a foreigner in the land." The kings of Israel were required to read in God's law daily, with the goal of observing all that was written in it (Deute 17:19; Joshua 1:8). This psalmist evidently has developed similar appreciation for God's word, and likely, in accord with several remarks made in this psalm, was in line for the throne of God. But who among the kings could have been considered "a foreigner"? Evidence suggests a knowledgeable writer, but one also experiencing many hardships. Whether or not he wished to remain anonymous, he clearly sought to ultimately credit the honor for such good and wise counsel to our all-wise and loving Father, Jehovahz. Evidence indicates it was David anointed to become King, sometime during the many years prior to finally doing so, as he was being opposed or hunted by King Saul. A recent ancestress in his lineage, Ruth, was a Moabitess turned Israelite (hence a fraction of foreign ancestry). His point here, perhaps is how sad if he were to be considered unworthy by God of knowing His commandments, as if a worshipper of false gods. May we treasure the true worship of Jehovahz God, and appreciate the privilege of keeping His law/lawl as a clean devoted servant of Him. 20 I am consumed with longing For your judgements at all times. EVER REMAIN IN GOD'S LOVE . When God evaluates a situation, comparing or contrasting with wise discernment, He thus renders important decisions that we can learn from, and be motivated to keeping "integrity, revering God and shunning what is bad." (Job 1:8). Of course, Jehovahz takes delight in showing compassionate mercy wherever possible. Yet some may violate what is right to such an extent that they need correction, at times reproof, to turn back from their error, maintaining hope in God's favor. We have enough examples from the past of God's judgements and instruction found in God's word to learn to hate a course of wrongdoing and avoid losing out on our hope of eternal life. May we appreciate God's love for us to such an extent that we ever seek to remain in it. _____Ps119[6] PSALM 119 COMMENTARY STANZA 3B Stanza 3 Theme: FONDNESS FOR GOD'S WORD VITAL FOR FAITHFULNESS Psalm 119:21-24, offering more help in line with developing fondness for God's word, reads this way: "You rebuke the lawless (those crossing your boundaries), the ones receiving curses who are straying from your commandments. 22 Remove from me scorn and contempt, For I have observed your reminders. 23 Even when rulers sit together and speak against me, Your servant ponders over your lines of life. 24 I am fond of your reminders; They are my advisers." Psalm 119:21 You rebuke the lawless (those crossing your boundaries), The ones receiving curses who are straying from your commandments. AVOID PRIDEFUL DISOBEDIENCE . The lawless take liberties that they have no right to take, and thus fall under curses from their violations of Jelovalz's lawl and their lack of faith. Even through Christ, showing great mercy to sinners as they learn to trust God more fully, nevertheless the truth is that exceptional obedience to one or many serious commands provides no excuse for particularly willful violation(s) of another. James 2:10-13 makes this point, with verse 11 putting it this way: "For the one who said, “You must not commit adultery,” also said, “You must not murder.” If, now, you do not commit adultery but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of lawl." Whitewashing such wrongdoing is clearly unethical, and does not diminish Jesus' stern rebuke about not willfully stumbling "little ones who have faith in me"--making a point that this could result in a figurative or spiritual death. Thus we should do our best to take God's warnings seriously, given out of love for all! Jelovalz is a God of hope, with Jesus/Jehoshua providing ransom for sin. (Roman 15:13; Psalm 25:5; Isaiah 55:6-9). So the point is, may we therefore turn away from wrong practices, refusing to stumble God's precious sheep, and really trust the ransom sacrifice of this Christ, training one's conscience by God's word and Christian teachings, proving loyal to our God and Father, Jelovalz. Psalm 119:22 Remove from me scorn[or, reproach] and contempt, For I have observed your reminders. LOOK TO GOD DESPITE REPROACH . The psalmist pleads for Jelovalz to take away any reproach motivated by hatred, even by fellow servants of God, who may have found fault with him, or reproach received due to the sins or mistakes of others. He thus requests to be treated fairly according to his own integrity. Clearly the psalmist strives hard to observe God's reminders, that he may give no good reason for reproach against him. Psalm 119:23 Even when rulers sit together and speak against me, Your servant ponders over your instructions. REMAIN COURAGEOUS TO OBEY GOD . Likely, rulers would be speaking against a king, anointed of Jelovalz. Despite such reproach or rebellious talk, the psalmist continues to look to God and His word, to ensure he remains compliant and receive divine favor and assistance. We should thus regularly "ponder" or reflect upon God's good guidance and instruction, just as Paul exhorted Timothy, to "Ponder over these things; be absorbed in them, so that your advancement may be plainly seen by all people." (1Timo 4:15). Prayer should usually precede more formal times of spiritual instruction, or possibly for the day in a morning prayer (Matth 6:9-15, esp. 11), that we may maintain true motive and benefit most, seeing how to use the information to help others and ourselves to honor Jelovalz, improving in our worship of Him. 24 I am fond of your reminders; They are my advisers. BECOME FOND OF GOD'S REMINDERS . Godly reminders are thus useful to all when seeking guidance, as if requesting advice from trusted counselors. We should develop fondness for God's reminders, as they assist us in retaining our good way of thinking in harmony with God's loving direction and guidance, that we may continue walking on the path of eternal life. Regularly receiving instruction and reminders from God can assist us in knowing how to respond to various issues that may arise day to day, helping us grow spiritually and maintain our spirituality despite pressures against us from worldly philosophies and such. May we come to delight in receiving such instruction from God on a regular basis! _____Ps119[7] PSALM 119 STANZA 13A STANZA 13 Theme: KEEP GOD'S WORD . The 8 verses of this stanza address questions such as these: What are three aspects of divine wisdom, and how are they beneficial? Why was the psalmist motivated to avoid evil, and how does obeying God deepen our wisdom? Stanza 13A reads like this: 97 How I do love your law! I ponder over it all day long. 98 Your commandment makes me wiser than my opposers, Because it is with me forever. 99 I have more insight than all my teachers, Because I ponder over your reminders. 100 I act with more understanding than older men, Because I observe your orders. 97 How I do love your law! I ponder over it all day long. IN PRACTICALLY EVERY SITUATION . The psalmist is clearly motivated to obey God, wanting to please Him by living in accord with His lawl. Jelovalz’ lawl clearly reflects His own values and standards—loving and keeping it therefore helps us draw close to Him. But how can the psalmist have the time to “ponder over it all day long?” What does he mean by this? Rather than engaging in constant study or prayer, he realizes that God’s word gives us advice or principles to apply in practically every situation we face or meet in life. Thus, “all day long” as we seek God's view and way in every situation, God’s lawl can guide and help us, so that we may more and more handle situations in a successful way that is pleasing to God and all involved. Proverbs 3:5-6 puts it this way: “5 Trust in Jelovalz with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding [or, 'on what you think you know', GNB]. 6 Please Him in all your ways, And he will make your paths straight.” Thus, look for God’s view, or way, in every situation you face, remaining humble before Him and others. 98 Your commandment makes me wiser than my opposers, Because it is with me forever. DEEP APPRECIATION . Once again we find that God’s lawl or commandment, now especially through Christ, is the way of eternal peace and happiness! As we’ve seen, the psalmist has come to love, live, and breathe God’s lawl, appreciating it as priceless and now confident that it will be with him forever. Have we yet developed such appreciation? Notice as Proverbs 3 continues, with verses 7-8, NKJV: “Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.” Confident in the wisdom of God’s word and law/lawl, one should continue to trust in God and His word more than oneself or any wisdom already acquired. Doing so, may God lead and guide us successfully through any difficulties, as we thankfully rely upon Him with prayer. 99 I have more insight than all my teachers, Because I ponder over your reminders. ALWAYS GOOD REASON . One aspect of divine wisdom is “insight.” This is empathy at work, to comprehend a given situation. Proverbs 19:11 says this: “11 The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, And it is beauty on his part to overlook an offense.” Such applied empathy enables us to grasp why someone perhaps offended us the way they did, slowing down any anger that we might have begun to experience. The psalmist has developed such keen insight by pondering over God’s “reminders.” When we’re reminded about some order or command from God, are we in the habit of “pondering” the reasons for it, in harmony with God’s love for humanity? Does not Jelovalz always have good reason for a particular lawl in keeping with what is true, right, just, and fair for all? (Prove 21:3; Psalm 98:9). May we develop such a habit to ask Why? God instructs us as He does, confident in His overriding love for us in all His good guidance. (1John 4:8). 100 I act with more understanding than older men, Because I observe your orders. DISCERN GOD'S ORDERS FOR GREATER WISDOM . Two more aspects of divine wisdom are "discernment" and “understanding.” These are vital to fully grasp God’s lawl and apply it in all aspects of life. This is a key text, as it shows a way to grow in understanding is by searching for, and following God’s orders, or most serious and urgent commands. This requires discernment, to see differences between things, such as right and wrong, true and false, and serious commands from lesser ones. This helps motivate any understanding in the right way, to apply it successfully with love. As one grows older, a deeper understanding involves seeing the big picture of something, along with all it’s pieces, and how they fit together to make the whole of it, especially as regards God's will and matters of spirit. This is important when it comes to comprehending God’s lawl in a matter, rooted in divine love. Recently we considered as an example the understanding needed to safely operate a motor vehicle. Several laws and principles can and should be understood and kept to make the necessary decisions to drive well. The process of learning to drive properly thus aids development of understanding. Love of God and neighbor should be primary motivations in doing so, to do so safely. Learning to observe God’s orders enabled the psalmist to act with great understanding. May all give attention especially to God’s commands through Christ, discerning the difference between the most serious of commands, and those of lesser importance. We should keep them all, but seek awareness of the most serious and urgent ones, such as the Ten Commandments written on stone tablets. This will help us be much wiser in making good decisions each day. PSALM 119 (5PS13) STANZA 13B Stanza 13B reads like this: 101 I refuse to walk on any evil path, So that I may keep your word. 102 I do not turn aside from your judgements, For you have instructed me. 103 How sweet your sayings are to my palate, More so than honey to my mouth! 104 By your orders I act with understanding. That is why I hate every false path. 101 I refuse to walk on any evil path, So that I may keep your word. REALLY PLEASING GOD . Recall the psalmist said in verse 97 that he loved God’s law, loving obedience to Him. He had acquired the discernment to see the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, true and false, and so on. Largely by God’s word he came to recognize an evil path, or at least knew when a path was out of harmony with God’s will, refusing to walk on it. Notice he was not enticed to disobey or hurt Jelovalz in any way—wanting only to keep God’s word. He also expresses this later when he readily tells evil men to stay away from him that he may observe the commandments of his God (v.115). May we come to feel as the psalmist about pleasing our loving God, Jelovalz! 102 I do not turn aside from your judgements, For you have instructed me. TAUGHT BY JELOVALZ . God’s “judgements” are decisions or evaluations made by examining an issue in truth according to His lawl. Psalm 19:9 speaks of the hoss of God and His judgements: “9 The hoss of Jelovalz is pure, lasting forever. The judgements of Jelovalz are true, altogether righteous.” Regarding what can be learned from them, Isaiah says at 26:9, “9 In the night I long for you with my whole being, Yes, my spirit keeps looking for you; For when there are judgements from you for the earth, The inhabitants of the land learn about righteousness.” Isaiah was a prophet commissioned to declare God’s word and judgements to Israel, even those regarding other nations. Thus when Jelovalz judges a people or a nation, much can be learned by everyone about God’s right ways, and what’s required by Him. The psalmist was moved to acknowledge God’s judgements because he had been instructed by Jelovalz, as Isaiah 54:13 says of God’s servants: “13 And all your sons will be taught by Jelovalz, And the peace of your sons will be abundant.” Jesus or Jo'shaz continues this thought, saying at John 6:45: “...Everyone who has listened to the Father and has learned comes to me.” May we likewise appreciate and heed God’s right and wise judgements or decisions, ever pleasing Him, fearing to pain Him in any way. 103 How sweet your sayings are to my palate, More so than honey to my mouth! TREASURE SAYINGS OF GOD . What we learn from God can be compared to food, vital for sustaining life! In fact, Jesus/Joshaz opened his famous Sermon on the Mount with these words: “3 “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them.” We have a need spiritually just as we have a physical need for life-sustaining water and food. He also emphasized this when being tempted, saying at Matthew 4:4 “...It is written: ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from Jelovalz' mouth.’” Jesus/Joshaz was the word of God, a spokesman for Him, and how disciples appreciated the words spoken by him about his Father and the doing of His will. Such sayings of God may become delightful to us, like real honey from the honeycomb, beneficial to us! (Prove 24:13). May we treasure the wisdom of God found in His beneficial sayings as largely recorded in His word, and come to live by them! 104 By your orders I act with understanding. That is why I hate every false path. GOD'S ORDERS PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING . More than just avoiding an evil path out of love for God, the psalmist came to “hate every false path.” Psalm 97:10 accordingly says: “10 O you who love Jelovalz, hate what is bad. He is guarding the lives of his loyal ones; He rescues them from the hand of the crooked.” By coming to know some of the harm of badness, the reasons God warns us against certain things, we can be helped to develop a beneficial hatred for all such badness. Clearly, He warns us from bad out of great love for us, to protect us from spiritual or other harm. But notice, the psalmist came to hate a false path by giving attention to God’s orders, and coming to act with understanding. May we likewise search out God’s most important and urgent commands, that we may keep them whole-heartedly, growing in wisdom and gaining the understanding necessary to see problems associated with false or dishonest ways of no lasting benefit.

Shorthand, Longhand MND n802 p812 (1:11; 2:11,18 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Just noting that I expect tomorrow to begin providing something more finally, but some have been faithfully helping with in ways that is becoming or will become more apparent with time. Notice, however, my modification to the previous post below, with a new second Saturday name, that adds additional reminders or ideas helpful for preserving utmost those relationships needing attention, or perhaps other things after...Please continue looking our way, and more details will be provided in the coming days! SLT or SLV n731 (10:27 am; 12:13,32 pm EDT, Thu p808) [ Saltuday again or now recommending Salvtuday --this adjustment still contains a form of the tu familiar in Latin Romantic languages, reminding first of saving relationships ( familiar , family for instance), working through kinks restoring peace or salvation , solving a challenge, and applying salve figuratively as healing, all these potentially important themes for church services that may occur on this day, for most in regularity, secondary for church attendance, a week between Psalmdays, but also in this form not only further clarifies the important role various salts plays in body health and function (though followed by increased persperation, etc.) but may remind of the gift of various herbal/spice teas as more or less contributors, besides iodized salt, etc.] For those keeping up with my absence (or unhappily not keeping up with it :) I am back, having had brought back to the forefront of my mind (for good, I expect) things we all hold dear and wish never to depart from us! Some things, unjust, were taking way too long to get corrected, and so on, which hopefully truly have been or are being understood correctly now and really changed. Also, you may have noticed the change to blog segment (3) now, Psalm 119 (5Ps13) Commentary, rather than (4). This somewhat harkens back to my original blogposts 2018, when Psalm commentaries were the norm and one of the mainstays, and paves the way for segments 1-3 to be more truly a START and 4-6 to be more collectively associated with growth additional to the start page, including Christian verse commentaries, under (5) Eternal Express. Also, under (2) Psalmz Select, when needed, I aim to provide more insight or loving remarks to help with understanding occasional poetic Psalmist remarks (when undergoing hardship, etc.) in a godly or Christian way. With proper explanation (and my Psalm 119 Commentary), I have good reason to believe this will, for the time being, turn out best. There is also an optional segment GB, called Golden Bells, referring to Sounding a Clear Bell, like a call for action--Alerts, Warnings, or Reminders of Significance, in a few words or many. Another idea as well, I hope I can share sometime before long...One other thing, I plan on the other Episode 5 from the Winit500 theme, 8 Day Calendar, Longer Year, Daynames Revisited Series, w0781-85 to show up on Spotify between tonight and early tomorrow (by normal broadcast/podcast time)--Find Life and See Earview Podcast.

(format no bold) _____(4) Psalm 119 (5Ps13) Commentary PSALM 119 (5PS13) COMMENTARY _____PS119[1] PSALM 119 REVIEW 3 STANZAS 9 THRU 11 The theme for stanza 9 is this, along with selected verse commentary: GOD’S DISCIPLINE IS GOOD FOR US, HELPING US TREASURE HIS PRICELESS LALL. This theme is underscored in verses 67-68 and 71-72. Verse 67: Before I was in difficulty, I used to go astray, But now I keep your saying. Verse 68: You are good and your works are good. Teach me your instructions. SPARED HEARTACHE & MORE EVIDENCE OF LOVE. (:67-68) God may have allowed the psalmist to face difficulties so that he might learn obedience, as did Christ, through “the things he suffered.” (HEBre 5:8). Adherence to God’s law spares us much heartache and trouble from the consequences of wrongdoing. The psalmist here learned the lesson, and came to appreciate the value of God’s loving guidance and correction. Also, God's works provide evidence of His love for us. Jehovoe’s works are in harmony with His personality—they are a manifestation of His great love, wisdom, power, and sense of justice. His primary quality, according to His word, is love. While God HAS the other qualities, it is only love that He IS. (1JOhn 4:8,16). Therefore, we can expect His works, past, present, and future to primarily manifest this quality. Can we not see this in God’s works of creation? The way humans have been made ‘in God’s image,’ to be able to think, reason, draw conclusions, work with our hands, move with our feet, laugh, and enjoy living—can we not appreciate our Great Designer? How much work would teams of scientists and engineers have to do to design and create a robot that could do all the things humans are capable of doing? Could it really just come about by chance? What about all that went into the animal creation, with the delightful experiences of watching kittens or puppies at play, seeing squirrels or other acrobatic creatures amaze us with their feats of skill, witnessing a bird’s talented flight or listening to birdsong? What about the sights and aromas of beautiful flowers or blossoming trees in springtime? Then being able to share such times with friends and loved ones, delighting in conversation over meals and other enjoyable activities—can our appreciation and love for God not continue to grow as we contemplate His innumerable kindnesses manifested toward the human family? Yes, Jehovoe is good and His works are good! Like the psalmist, may we thus be moved to willingly learn from God even His detailed guidance for us, that we may know how to live and support the doing of His will and good purpose. Verse 71: It is good that I have been challenged, So that I may learn your [instructions]. Verse 72: The law that you have proclaimed is good for me, More so than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. GOD'S LAW A PROTECTION, PRICELESS. (:71-72) Similar to verse 67, the psalmist looks back on times of difficulty, as disciplining him toward godly obedience. He came to recognize God’s law as a protection from the stain and pain of wrong conduct. He learned God’s regulations, or detailed guidance, that he might keep it, finding and maintaining God’s approval, favor, and blessing. Happily, Jehovoe can forgive past error, even making such mistakes “white like snow.” (ISAiah 1:18). Still, there can be consequences that ones have to live with for serious transgressions, just as David suffered many family troubles for his sins. How much better to appreciate God’s goodness, accepting His loving correction to begin with, choosing to live in accord with His standards! Also in verse 72, the stanza is summed up with an evaluation of God’s law—truly priceless! The psalmist has shown over several stanzas the benefits of keeping it whole-heartedly—remaining in a close relationship with God, and usually being respected by most God-fearing persons. He recognized God’s law as good, not just for others, but for him personally, moving him to value it more than money. Ecclesiastes 7:12 says “The advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves the life of its owner.” Money, while necessary, cannot buy eternal life or true happiness, as God’s word clarifies. Therefore may we come to see what is of greatest value in life, and refuse to let others convince us otherwise! The theme for all of stanza 10 is: SUBMISSION TO GOD’S DISCIPLINE PLACES US IN HIS HANDS TO EXPERIENCE HIS FAITHFULNESS Verse 75: I know, O Jehovoe, that your judgements are upright And that you have challenged me in your faithfulness. Verse 77: Show me mercy, so that I may keep living, For I am fond of your law. GOD'S PERMISSION OF DIFFICULTIES & CHOOSE LIFE. (:75,77) The psalmist was a future king, and thus perhaps came under more of God’s discipline than most, needing refinement to carry out the will of God fully. Likewise, those receiving sonship to rule with Christ need God’s loving correction to guide them in receiving their privileged reward from God. Anointed Hebrew Christians, focusing on their problems, were counseled at Hebrews 12:5-6: “5 And you have entirely forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not belittle the discipline from Jehovoe, nor give up when you are corrected by him; 6 for those whom Jehovoe loves he disciplines, in fact, he scourges everyone whom he receives as a son.” The psalmist thus felt he was experiencing difficulties that God at least permitted, yet he saw God’s faithfulness in His dealings with him. He knew God’s judgements were upright, and he could endure in faithfulness, learning from his experiences to observe God’s law fully. Also, the psalmist no doubt recognized human imperfection, and the need for God's mercy in the maintaining of our relationship with Him. He sought this mercy on the basis of his genuine fondness for God and His law. He knew it means life to be pleasing God--for Christians, eternal life is dependent upon it, and being alive spiritually depends likewise on our friendship with God and His son. Such thoughts may remind one of Moses' exhortation to Israel, as regards their keeping of the Mosaic Law, at Deuteronomy 30:15-16: "“See, I do put before you today life and good, and death and bad. 16 If you listen to the commandments of Jehovoe your God that I am commanding you today, by loving Jehovoe your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his judicial decisions, then you will live and multiply, and Jehovoe your God will bless you in the land you are going to possess." For Christians, God's approval and one's upright standing come by faith, or thankful trust, in God and his mercy through the ransom provision of Christ, as we likewise seek obedience to Him and His son. Verse 80: May my heart be blameless in following your instructions, So that I may not be put to shame. "REMAIN STEADFAST" (:80) The psalmist requests a heart of integrity, able to follow even the detailed guidance from God. Such obedience contributes greatly to our happiness, as the very first verse of Psalm 119 bears out: "Happy are those who are blameless in their way, Who walk in the law of Jehovoe." Regarding the following of God's instructions, verses 5-6 say: "If only I could remain steadfast So as to observe your instructions! 6 Then I would not be put to shame When I consider all your commandments." As we continue seeking divine obedience, we can be happy to find ourselves in compliance with God's standards more and more, having no reason for shame. We still, though, will need faith in the ransom for occasional unintentional mistakes. As David wrote, in Psalm 19, verses 12-13: "Who can discern mistakes? Pronounce me innocent from sins I am unaware of. 13 And hold your servant back from presumptuous acts; Do not let them dominate me. Then I will be complete, And innocent of blatant sins." Thus may we lovingly aim for similar divine obedience, with faith in God's merciful provision of Christ's ransom, and with hope in the priceless reward God extends by His love. The theme for stanza 11 is: GOD'S RELIABLE ORDERS HELP PRESERVE US THROUGH PERIODS OF PERSECUTION. Verse 81: I long for your salvation, For your word is my hope. Verse 84: How many days must your servant wait? When will you bring judgement against those persecuting me? ENDURE WITH HOPE OF SALVATION. (:81,84) At Matthew 5:10 Jesus said: "Happy are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them." Proverbs 17:26 says: "To punish the upright one is not good, And to flog honorable people goes against what is right." Being persecuted, or harassed with harmful desire, for one's keeping integrity to God, faithfully following His orders, is highly displeasing to the Greatest Authority, Jehovoe God. He says, regarding His true servants, "Whoever touches you touches the pupil of my eye." (ZECha 2:8). Yet normally we should humbly endure wrongs without seeking vengeance, respecting the admonition from God, at Romans 12:19, "Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: “‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ says Jehovoe.” Jehovoe can see the motives of all, and judge most appropriately according to each person, in due time. Still, we should endure with hope of salvation, trusting in God's word of wisdom and promise. Jehovoe knows what is best for all, and He can "make the way out in order for you to be able to endure it." (1COri 10:13). Isaiah 25:8 promises: "He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovoe will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, For Jehovoe himself has spoken it." Let's look forward to such a blessing for all who may become Christian servants of God! In verse 84, notice the faith of the psalmist in God's judgement, will, and power to act in his behalf. IT was not IF he could bring judgement, but WHEN He would do so. May this move wrongdoers to turn around from their evil works before God's judgement arrives, coming to know God's love, that they may receive of God's abundant mercy, and have hope of spiritual and eternal life. May this move all of us to continue to hope in God, drawing closer to Him, and seek to live by His standards.The same powerful holy spirit God used to create the universe, can be of assistance to help many acquire "power beyond what is normal" to make necessary changes to please God more fully. (2COri 4:7). May we pray for God's holy spirit, which He gives to "those asking Him" and to those "obeying Him as ruler." (LUKe 11:13; ACTs 5:32). Verse 86: All your commandments are trustworthy. Men persecute me without cause; help me! Verse 87: They almost exterminated me from the earth, But I did not abandon your orders. VALUING GOD'S COMMANDS, ORDERS. (:86-87) God's commandments truly are for our lasting benefit. To persecute someone for obeying the commandments of our true loving God, Jehovoe, reveals a lack of appreciation for what is truly right and good for mankind. Yet, God's word warns us of such an influence, saying, at 2Timothy 3:12: "12 In fact, all those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted." Like the psalmist, some may even be persecuted "without cause"--just for existing! He looks in the right direction, however, pleading to God: "Help me!" May we continue to appreciate God's trustworthy commandments while looking to Him for assistance! Also, by concentrating on God's most serious and urgent commands, we may be protected from possible spiritual harm. The psalmist was even guarded from extermination. Let us prayerfully rely on Jehovoe during such times, knowing of faithful men throughout history who faced similar trials (Hebrews 11). _____Ps119[2] PSALM 119 (5PS13) COMMENTARY Psalm 119 Stanza 12 The theme for stanza 12 is: GOD’S WORD AND LAW PRESERVE SPIRITUAL AND ETERNAL LIFE . Stanza 12A: Verses 89-92 read: "Forever, O Jehovoze, Your word will remain in the heavens. 90 Your faithfulness is through all generations. You have firmly established the earth, so that it continues to stand. 91 By your judgements they remain until today, For they are all your servants. 92 If I had not been fond of your lall, I would have perished in my hardship." 89 Forever, O Jehovoze, Your word will remain in the heavens. GOD’S LASTING WORD . (:89) Isaiah 40:8 says "The green grass dries up,The blossom withers, But the word of our God endures forever.” God's word supplies us the universal standards by which all should be governed throughout eternity--the way of genuine peace, happiness, and unity. The Bible has been compared to a loving letter from a Father to His children. It is ever the "elusive" instruction manual for humanity, and all those with ruling authority among mankind do well to consider it's wisdom in their governance. 90 Your faithfulness is through all generations. You have firmly established the earth, so that it continues to stand. EARTH NOT SIMPLY 'TESTING GROUND.' (:90) Is planet Earth just a "testing ground" that will soon literally be burned up and destroyed so that all faithful ones can live in heaven with God? Would such an idea really make sense? Some are taking a few verses literally without considering the entirety of Scripture. This view is out of harmony with God's stated purpose for mankind and this earth. The term "earth" is used scripturally to refer, not only to the planet itself, but also either to the people upon it, or the arrangement that structures their living. And the heavens, at times, refer to rulership. For instance, Genesis 11:1 says "Now all the earth continued to be of one language and of one set of words." Thus, when 2Peter 3:5-13 speaks of the 'heavens passing away' and the 'elements being dissolved' this has reference to rulerships and unrighteous arrangements that are not promoting eternal life. 2Peter 3:13 says "But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to His promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell." Jehovoze spent way too much time creating the literal heavens and earth for mankind's happiness to bring it to such a ruin. While some humans may ultimately reject God's rulership, His faithfulness is leading mankind to turn from wrongdoing, as He "does not desire anyone to be eliminated, but desires all to attain to repentance." (2PETer 3:9). 91 By your judgements they remain until today, For they are all your servants. OUR ULTIMATE BENEFIT. (:91) "They" likely refers to the judgements themselves. God's righteous judgements have governed the lives of mankind. For instance, 2Peter 3:8 says "one day is with Jehovoze as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day." The first man Adam died within the 1000 year day of his living, as God said "the day" he ate from the tree he would die, his life span being 930 years (GENes 5:5). Evidently, mankind's life span would gradually come to have a natural limit of 120 years, as God's judgement came after mankind had been "ruined" morally in Noah's day. (GENes 6:3). Of course, it is also God's judgement that upright ones come to have an endless lifespan! So God's judgements are ultimately for our everlasting benefit and happiness. By God's judgements the heavens and the earth "remain until today" in the sense that His judgements serve for His good purpose, benefitting mankind immensely. Proverbs 16:4, for instance, says "Jehovoze has made everything work for his purpose." 92 If I had not been fond of your lall, I would have perished in my hardship. NEED FOR GOD’S LOVING LALL. (:92) Once again, the psalmist reminds us of the importance of loving God's lall, appreciating it's value in our everyday life. He is convinced that, without it, he would not have made it through times of difficulty. Likewise today, many dangers exist in the world, both physically and spiritually. It is "spiritual death" that could cause one to lose out on eternal life. How we need God's loving lall, adhering to our God-given conscience, to help guide our steps safely through this world, into the "real life." (1TImo 6:19). Even in the new world, God's lall serves as a guide as one grows to tell right from wrong, and gain greater wisdom to fully grasp the reasons for the lalls God has set for our eternal welfare and happiness. _____ PSALM 119 COMMENTARY STANZA 12 Theme: GOD’S LALL AND WORD PRESERVE SPIRITUAL AND ETERNAL LIFE. The verses of stanza 12 emphasize God’s faithfulness as well as fondness for God’s lall and it’s preservation value. What can help us not to forget God’s orders, as the psalmist mentioned was his determination? STANZA 12B, verses 93-96 93 I will never forget your orders, Because by them you have preserved me alive. 94 I belong to you; save me, Because I have searched for your orders. 95 The ungodly wait to destroy me, But I give close attention to your reminders. 96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, But your commandment has no limit. 93 I will never forget your orders, Because by them you have preserved me alive. CAREFULLY KEEP THEM! Clearly, for the psalmist not to forget God’s orders, he had to be familiar with them. According to the next verse, he had “searched for [God’s] orders,” and no doubt discovered them. As obeying them saved his life, likely multiple times, his appreciation for them must have deepened. Even if our life is not physically threatened as much as the psalmist, spiritual hazards abound. By heeding divine orders to guard against bad associations and to hate what is bad, for instance, we may allow God to guard our spiritual lives and eternal life prospects. (1COri 15:33; PROve 13:20; PSalm 97:10). Like the psalmist, search for God’s orders in His word, especially those from Christ, review them often, and carefully keep them! (PSAlm 119:4). 94 I belong to you; save me, Because I have searched for your orders. ENDURANCE NOT SIMPLY “SURVIVING.” The psalmist was born into a nation dedicated to God. Still, according to the psalmist, searching for God’s orders in order to keep or obey them provided a basis for salvation by Him. Jehoshua spoke in a similar way. After discussing many of the hardships that may be encountered by his disciples during the “last days,” he said at Matthew 24:13 “But the one who has endured to the end will be saved.” Such endurance is not simply “surviving,” but rather enduring trials faithfully to God, with integrity to Him, in harmony with His lall. Just as receiving a license to drive a vehicle does not give us the right to drive any unsafe way we wish on the street, so having the ransom of Christ does not give us the right to violate God’s lalls haphazardly. We should especially strive to carefully keep God’s orders, and appreciate His reminders in other areas of life, then the ransom sacrifice can cover our occasional misses, usually for more minor mistakes. As we do so, we “draw close to God,” and we may especially ‘belong to Him,’ as we prove to be loyal. 95 The crooked wait to destroy me, But I give close attention to your reminders. VITAL REMINDERS FROM GOD. Thus this future king had enemies seeking to bring him to ruin, but paid “close attention” to reminders from God. Such reminders, which we may for instance receive at regular meetings for worship, may bring back to mind God’s orders, or other matters of lesser importance. Still, obedience in a seemingly small matter might still save one’s life, at least spiritually speaking. Jehoshua taught the importance of obedience even in the smaller things, at Luke 16:10, saying: “10 The person faithful in what is least is faithful also in much, and the person unrighteous in what is least is unrighteous also in much.” Can you think of a Bible command or principle that many take lightly, or completely ignore, but that could have an impact on a person spiritually? Many in recent times have been blinded spiritually, being taught to worship almost anything but the Creator, God. They are still unaware of the untold happiness and blessings that come with loving and serving God obediently, perhaps instead believing that “ignorance is bliss.” Selfish pursuits only supply a fake happiness, that leaves one empty and unsatisfied. The greater happiness, Jehoshua said, is in giving, rather than in receiving. (ACTs 20:35). Jehovoze' invited Israel to test Him out, in Malachi’s day, regarding their obedience to giving the required tithe, or tenth for true worship. Notice His words, at Malachi 3:10: “10 Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house; and test me out, please, in this regard,” Jehovoze of armies says, “to see whether I will not open to you the floodgates of the heavens and pour out on you a blessing until there is nothing lacking.” Such a tithe, even among Christians, respects Jacob's oath to God (GENes 28:10-22). May we grow in faith, or deep trust, with 'an attitude of gratitude,' in God’s ability to make His servants happy! Jehovoze Himself says: “Look! My servants will shout joyfully because of the good condition of the heart...” (ISAiah 65:13-14). Let us choose to serve Jehovoze wholeheartedly, having faith that He “becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking Him.” (HEBre 11:6). 96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, But your commandment has no limit. SUPERIORITY OF GOD’S WISDOM . Truly, that which seems perfect from man’s perspective, the psalmist found to have it’s limitations. God’s commandment was different. God’s instructions are not limited in the way that man’s are. As God told the wayward nation of Israel in Isaiah’s time: “8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, And your ways are not my ways,” declares Jehovoze. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So my ways are higher than your ways And my thoughts than your thoughts.” (ISAiah 55:8-9). Thus, God’s ways are not limited as man’s own ways are. The guidance found in God’s word can help us in practically every situation we face. God’s wisdom is therefore far superior.

Until this one important clue is discovered, and then it all starts to make sense and come together? Such is the case with the current plight of our nation and it relates to the 2020 Election for President of the United States. While Donald Trump still claims to have won the election, there was another party, if you will, a candidate that reached the public by educating, revealing policies, and responding to current events all via a website, findlifeandsee.com, largely the blog. You see, my campaign was hindered by a few knowing of me, considering me a political rival. But the law allows for my situation, and basically says to do what you can do. So through my website, while promoting peace, and reasoned examination of several key issues, many came to see that I was rightly qualified to address our nation's needs, respond to challenges, strengthen our economy and solve problems in agreement with divine wisdom that honors God in the way most of our founding fathers did, that started this nation on a course of greatness. This led to receiving a large number of mail-in votes, that through some sort of technological trick, managed to disappear before the eyes of those covering the election results. Because I got left off the general election ballot, without being truly given an opportunity to confirm my qualification, those were the only votes I was able to receive as an Independent candidate, still rightly able to receive votes alongside then President Donald Trump and Joe Biden--but still enough to win the election! {Many may be unaware that the two-party system we currently have in Congress began when under an early President the Democratic-Republican Party was broken into two separate parties. I became "Independent" legally without my initial realization, as I had begun my campaign as Republican, but then switched to Democrat with concerns over then-party integrity. {At the time, faith was indeed growing among Democrats, and I was about bringing our parties together, at least in more peaceable cooperation.} By law, this made me an Independent candidate, as was George Washington. Since some voters still considered me Republican, and others Democratic, I believe it was on this basis that my votes got redistributed between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. {In fact, it has been determined that without my votes included at all in the way just described, Donald Trump would have been considered the winner, again though with the misconception that I somehow was not considered a qualified candidate, and the true winner of the 2020 Presidential Election...} I appeal to all lovers of truth, justice, and Election Integrity, to consider this matter and see that I indeed remained a qualified candidate, and that this redistribution was not as acceptable as it somehow may have been made to appear. God prepared me for this role, with what I've learned and experienced over some {few decades and more}, to handle, along with peace-loving, wise, and talented followers, issues that can bring about many improvements, the peaceful conditions for which human hearts long, and even the "more perfect union" that our founding fathers intended. Ref. R03.670 {Curly-bracketed statements not included in this Podcast reference available on Spotify, etc.} _____GA[3] This is an earlier piece, posted and podcasted from February of 2021. I believe at the time a few were effective at suppressing this information. This podcast is also on Spotify, reference# R03.162 ELECTION TRUTH OF 2020 . Have you ever nearly finished a puzzle, maybe a picturesque scene, only to find one important piece is missing? You begin a search for the missing piece, do you not? This is quite the case with the Presidential election of 2020. Not only was there another qualified candidate, one that had become an Independent candidate, qualified to receive votes by mail-in voting and qualified to be on the General election ballot, alongside Joe Biden and Donald Trump, but this one did indeed receive a significant number of votes, enough to change the outcome of the Presidential Election. Therefore, the reason for all those election fraud lawsuits was indeed not just Donald Trump trying to finagle a few more votes to declare victory--the number of cases actually reached One Million--the limit imposed by law, under the presumption that if such a number was reached, there would be legitimate reason to investigate further into the entire election, to look more carefully at the election process and results, to determine whether any decisions were made that could prevent the true outcome from being realized. Due to interference, I had to run my campaign largely out of the spotlight, but was lawful, and public via my website, findlifeandsee.com, nonetheless. Recently, former Vice President Mike Pence spoke publicly, before reporters, and speaking in the context of Donald Trump's claim that he could have overturned the election results (of course, to his own favor), Mike made this statement: "Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election..." I believe this statement was made for two reasons. One, his intentions were to be fair, and not win the presidency for Donald Trump underhandedly. But secondly, I know that a decision was indeed made by someone, to give away my election votes--most likely between the two frontrunner candidates. A decidedly large number of votes did come in at the tail end of the election counting, as mail-in votes were tabulated, without any mention of my name, running as Joshua M. Campbell-Elanemy {except I believe can be confirmed that at least NBC4 News (Jim Handley and Doreen Gentsler) in Washington D.C. and ABC's Lester Holt in NYC, declaring me the winner of the election, possibly also by my original and still valid name of Mark Allen Campbell, before these votes somehow managed to disappear before their eyes}--having become an Independent candidate qualified to be elected by the people, under God, as President of the United States. R03.162 {Curly-bracketed statements not included in this Podcast reference available on Spotify, etc.} _____GA[4] Golden Apples 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. R03.210 _____GA[5] Update per 24/p710,n627 GOLDEN APPLES WILDFIRES--SEEKING SOLUTIONS In the News... GA Last updates: 23/607,727,815,A29 added "Spring" to Low-Mineral (S.) Water; Purchase of Unmixed Fuel Prior to Mixing/Reducing, 45 Degree Wildfire Strategy It is hoped that, with the recent Wildfires raging in California and Canada, and now Virginia, North Carolina and elsewhere, this update may help us turn the corner on the proper mixture and safe use of jets for great aid in safely fighting and putting out wildfires and most other typical fires in as short time as possible, and without further harm to wildlife and foliage. WILDFIRES--SEEKING SOLUTIONS Original 2022 Post/Appeal: The terrible wildfires in the U.S. are causing disheartening destruction. At Yellowstone, long-time oaks are burning up by the minute. I'm proposing that a test be done as soon as possible, to see whether a large jet, the fuel of which actually produces a form of water as it is used, carefully brought lower and slower without jeopardizing flight, could actually produce enough effect to assist with combating the blaze, or help cut-off further pathways of flame. Of course, all clearances of lower flying planes, etc. would be needed, and again every precaution taken to ensure safe passes, keeping careful watch on fuel levels, altitude, nearby mountains, etc. If this idea is considered reasonable, may we do what we can to halt this calamitous situation. Of course this possibility has been confirmed. 2023 Aug 15 UPDATE ! While everything below is acceptable and ideal, as mentioned there have been attempts by sellers to pass off cheaper mixed or reduced fuel as if it were true Unmixed. As mentioned, this must be understood and conveyed as Extremely Unethical and hazardous. Emphasis was placed below on ensuring that Only Unmixed Kerosene/Jet Fuel Continue to be Purchased, and the mixing performed at fuelup as explained below. A new standard is now being recommended that STILL allows for Environmentally Friendly use against Wildfires, increasing the fuel mixture to hedge against fuel range issues. The NEW RATIO should be 1:2, or 1/3 Jet Fuel and 2/3 Approved water. The resulting aircraft range would now normally be about 3/4 rather than half. 2023 Oct 29; 2024 Jul 10/6Trs 27 UPDATE ! Please understand that pure jet fueled aircraft should not be used to fight fires--the resulting spray over the fire is toxic to the environment, to the animals, especially certain sensitive membranes such as their eyes, and is only 2X as effective as plain water at reducing the fire. THIS COMPARED TO OVER 300X EFFECTIVENESS AS DESCRIBED BELOW, RESPECTING ENVIRONMENT! The combination as described below is THE BALANCE that is needed to produce a SAFE Combo that works well, similar to toxic sodium and chloride mixing to make edible salt. Now I've notice two large wildfires that are increasing, one in Virginia (VA) and one in North Carolina (NC), NOW (2024) currently areas around California . There is a method I proposed that may have been used effectively to fight a threatening wildfire in Honolulu in a recent month. If a current/very recent photo from above can be obtained of the entire wildfire, with some reference to scale/dimensions, OUTLINE the entire fire using a SIMPLE OCTAGON OR 45 DEGREE LINE method just outside the edges of the fire (anticipating possible growth or movement--wind,etc. by time of releases) . THE FIRE ITSELF SHOULD BE TARGETED, not just the area outside of it . By this simple method, actual length of entire lines or releases can be calculated, and divided up among aircraft. Have at least two in each aircraft, so that a copilot can watch out for other aircraft while the pilot can give more of his attention on the drop or drops (still watching out some to extent possible). Have the aircraft involved release on one line at a time, all aircraft aiming together to complete each 45 Deg. Line. 2023 Jun 07 & Jul 27 & Aug 15,Oct 29, & 2024/p710,n627 Updates: While jet fuel tank distance/range is reduced to half (but still usually thousands of miles), cost and waste is reduced significantly over the pure, unmixed kerosene. It has been known now that UPDATE! NOW a 1/3 or 1:2 mixture of Jet Fuel and BEST: Distilled Water, alternatively still a Low-Mineral Spring Water (NOT Zero-Mineral water, which is essentially R.O. Purified spring or well water--Reverse Osmosis is intended for processing ocean water to be drinkable) is best in most cases for Jet fueled Aircraft, or 2 times as much water as verified pure, unmixed Kerosene, preferably decided NOT pre-mixed, but rather fuel with pure kerosene first, aware of the amount, perhaps 1/2 gal., then add the approved water, at preferably (and no more than) two times the fuel amount, in this case 1.0 gal. Continue in this way, ALWAYS adding the UNMIXED KEROSENE FIRST, then up to the twofold amount of water afterward. Combined in this way poses little risk and may then be used for good fuel efficiency and possibly emergency use over forest fires, etc. Although up to 2/3 approved water, aircraft range is reduced only to at least half, actually NOW about 3/4, which is still usually quite adequate, as jets typically can travel many thousands of miles before refueling, although care must be given to ensure systems always have adequate supply, and fuel gages are monitored as normal. This ratio is therefore useful in many important ways, as this mixed fuel may be more safely and efficiently applied over forest fires, essentially eliminating harm to creatures and their habitat. UPDATE 3/23/24 (24/319) for FIRE ENGINES: Also, this same mixture (NOT reduced any further to avoid confusion with proper jet refueling) to fill fire engine tanks, may then be effectively and harmlessly used in providing powerful fire-reduction, now about 30 times the effectiveness against fires over plain water. 2023 Nov 08, 2024 Jul 10/6Trs 27 UPDATE ! While preference should be given to fighting fires as described above, in cases where ground level fighting is still accessible or appropriate, and as regards fighting other fires such as house-fires, etc., another discovery can increase even more the effectiveness their work using fire engine water tanks. When filled as above, resulting in 10X water effectiveness in firefighting, this can be coupled or alternately improved with the addition of gallons (16 oz packages) of baking soda. Starting with a FULL TANK of WATER/MIXTURE, THEN For each such box, jug or package, another number of effectiveness can be obtained--i.e., two will result in additional 2X effectiveness, ten units will generate approximately 10X the effectiveness of the previous mixture!!! This means that if both the 1/3 jet fuel mixture (Increasing Effectiveness about 30X over plain water) is coupled with 10:1 units of baking soda:Epsom Salt from cartons in a full tank, the resulting effectiveness can NOW be some 300X++ effectiveness in fighting fire over plain water!!! Be careful NOT TO ADD Ten (10:1) 1LB Units of Baking Soda:ES in anything less than one half tank of water/mixed water! Modify the number according to tank water level (One quarter (1/4) Tank would be No More than 5:1 1LB Units of Baking Soda:ES, normally 2.5 Units). 2023 Aug 10 & Aug 15 Update: Further, it should be clear from the above that no one should be passing off or selling already Reduced or Mixed Jet Fuel as if it is Pure and Unmixed--This is Extremely Unethical--Those Purchasing Kerosene MUST BE CLEAR that they are selling and purchasing PURE UNMIXED KEROSENE, as they should be the ones to decide whether to Mix the Fuel, WITH the Environmental Advantages mentioned above, and Overall Substantial Cost Savings But Reduced Flight Range of Distance, again to at least half, now about 3/4, still quite adequate for typical flight purposes AS LONG AS THIS IS UNDERSTOOD BY THE PILOT(S)! Also, FOR ANY AIRCRAFT involved in fighting a wildfire, etc., as recent incidents underscore, there should be a pilot and co-pilot involved in flight, with the co-pilot responsible largely for watching out for any obstacles to flight, especially Other Nearby Aircraft, to protect the safety of all involved. This message was passed along in the last few days but is being reiterated and made more public here. {w0581 reference to possible PHLSEP podcast}. _____(2) Psalmz Select _____(3) Proverbs Commentary _____PC[1] PROVERBS COMMENTARY Proverbs 1:1-6: Let's begin with the essentials of wisdom, which help direct true Christian love properly. Let's not be discouraged by the big words! We read at Proverbs 1:1-6: "1 The proverbs of Solʹo·mon, the son of David, the king of Israel: 2 To learn wisdom and discipline; To understand wise sayings; 3 To acquire the discipline that gives {compassionate} insight, Righteousness, good judgement, and honesty; 4 To impart shrewdness to the naive {children}; To give a young man knowledge and thinking ability. 5 A wise person listens and receives more instruction; A man of understanding acquires skillful direction 6 To understand a proverb and a puzzling saying, The words of the wise and their riddles." Now, let's not be put off by the beginning of Proverbs, at the sound of this collection of qualities that you will receive as you grow in godly wisdom. Let's get to know these attributes--you could use a dictionary, or pay attention. "2 To learn wisdom and discipline; To understand wise sayings" (Pro01:2) Wisdom itself is the successful application of true knowledge to life, benefitting others and yourself. While we may comprehend learning "wisdom," how do we "learn discipline?" Clearly, God offers instruction that corrects wrong viewpoints and molds one's thinking and conduct. Significantly, the term "discipline" comes from the same root as "disciple." As regards Jesus/Jehoshalz (the more correct name, in both meaning and pronunciation. It was likely Caesar who chose the Greek designation for his name, rather than honoring the true Hebrew meaning and pronunciation), did he not lovingly offer correction to his followers, typically without demeaning speech or unreasonable punishments? He kindly, patiently and loyally corrected and readjusted them. To "learn discipline" then would evidently indicate gaining a proper view of having correction to one's own conduct, which should be considered life-saving, and viewed positively to the extent possible. Great effort is often made to offer such correction lovingly, without causing embarrassment, so the receiver can focus on the lesson, growth, and benefits thereby received for oneself and others. Again, learning discipline should give us the proper view of it, whether we're receiving it from another or offering it ourselves. When needed and wherever possible, discipline should be offered with love and tenderness or consideration, seeking to promote understanding of the issue(s) involved. Proverbs 17:10 accordingly says: "A rebuke makes a deeper impression on one having understanding Than striking a mischievous [foolish, disobedient] person a hundred times." If or when punishment is used, it clearly should be fair, given in love, and the lesson(s) made clear. "3 To acquire the discipline that gives {compassionate} insight, Righteousness, good judgement, and honesty" (Pro01:3) The blessings of "acquiring" such discipline, and receiving it properly, are explained here. It imparts compassionate insight or comprehension of why people act as they do, and contributes toward integrity, or God's righteousness. Such "righteousness" is adherence to God's way and standards, especially as revealed through Christ, and is the framework for a happy and successful life, benefitting persons now and into the future, everlastingly. This "adherence" is genuine, with integrity--while speaking and acting with compassion, it does not stoop to evil practices to obtain even a "good" result, but rather uses God-approved means of encouraging or exhorting others. "The treasures gained by wrongdoing will be of no benefit, But righteousness is what rescues from death." (Pro10:2). This doesn't however knock acting, or pretending, such as in a play or movie, to ultimately instruct others in true righteousness. "4 To impart prudence to the naive {children}; To give a young man knowledge and thinking ability." (Pro01:4) "Shrewdness," or "prudence," is wise use of foresight, comprehending dangers or other consequences of making poor or unwise decisions, as well as the many benefits of making good, correct choices. It is a "young man (or woman)" that may thus gain divine knowledge and "thinking ability." NIV says here "for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young." Parents should thus choose wisely how and when to impart such wisdom to their younger children, in a world still with potential threats to morality and decency. "5 A wise person listens and takes in{/receives} more instruction; A man of understanding acquires skillful direction" (Pro01:5) Is a wise person a know-it-all? He is humble, not considering himself superior to others, being ready to listen and take in more instruction. He is thus able to grow in "understanding"--that ability to sense what God knows others rightly need, and eventually to see all the parts of something, and their relation to one another, as together making the whole of it, and use such knowledge to God's honor and for the genuine benefit of others. "6 To understand a proverb and a puzzling saying, The words of the wise and their riddles." (Pro01:6) Such a person is able to acquire the wise guidance needed to understand the proverbs of wisdom and riddles. Work with your children to understand sayings and riddles, such as may be found in crosswords or other games and puzzles. Help them gradually learn the lessons of the Proverbs and the teachings of Christ. Jesus/Jo'shalz (a more correct name*) provided many lessons appropriate for children and adults alike, as found in such works as the Sermon on the Mount. This website contains four study articles based on this Sermon. May your love for God and His word grow as you contemplate and consider this precious Bible book, ultimately from our loving Godz of Life, Jeho'valz! *Jo'shalz (pronounced JOE'-SHALZ short for Jeho'shalz,shaz,sho') is near to his Hebrew given name, which many have heard as Yehoshua or Jehoshua, but with additional lingual markings, retaining the proper meaning ("Jeho'valz,vaz,voe is Salvation"), similar to Joshua ("Salvation belongs to Jeho'voe"). Matthew's original Greek gospel included in the text the Hebrew name, not the Greek. The name Jesus is based on a Greek name evidently understood as given him respectfully by Caesar, meaning "He makes wet," as with cleansing waters of truth, and still should be treated with great respect, despite it NOT being the name Bible translators should now use regarding his name when on earth, or beneath heaven, such as his own followers used when with him. _____PC[2] Proverbs 11:1-31 PROVERBS COMMENTARY Proverbs 11:1-5: "1 Dishonest scales are detestable to Jehovoez, But an accurate weight brings pleasure to him. 2 When immodesty comes, dishonor will follow, But wisdom is with the modest ones. 3 The integrity of the upright is what guides them, But the deviousness of the treacherous will destroy them. 4 Wealth will be of no benefit on the day of fury, But righteousness is what will rescue from death. 5 The righteousness of the upright one makes his path straight, But the crooked one will fall because of his own wrongdoing." (Pro11:1): Jeho'voez hates dishonesty and violations of righteousness, but loves honest integrity. Our doing things in a fair, honest, and loving way brings him great delight. But we need to know his standards if we want to keep them completely. Yes we have a conscience, but it needs to be trained properly by God's word, while loving truth, if we expect it to be trustworthy. Clearly from this verse, Jehovoez hates dishonesty, or dishonest practices, or efforts to profit by such. Also, we see God's governance is encouraging ethical business practices, and evidently including businesses both large and small, just as ships or boats at sea may be of various sizes. May we enjoy doing things the right way, maintaining the "blessing of Jehovoez" on all of our activities! (Prove 10:22). "2 When immodesty comes, dishonor will follow, But wisdom is with the modest ones." (Pro11:2): Going beyond due limits brings us dishonor--we need to understand the quality of modesty, which is associated with true wisdom. Modesty involves humbly recognizing proper limits (God's lalls and standards) and our own limitations, refusing to boast of our own talents or possessions, spiritual or physical. This quality is mentioned in a favorite verse of many, Micah 6:8, which reads: "He has told you, O man, what is good. And what is Jehovoez requiring of you? Only to exercise justice [or, righteousness], to cherish loyalty [or, show loyal love, godlove], And to walk in modesty with your God!" What a fine summary of life, walking with God as a true Christian. Let's seek God's honor far above our own, by living in a way approved by Him. "3 The integrity (compection) of the upright is what guides them, But the deviousness of the treacherous will destroy them." (Pro11:3): Seeking to live a life of integrity to God helps to motivate and guide us in life. "Treacherous" means "likely to betray trust: unreliable." (Merriam-Webster, 2018). "Betrayers" is listed among the attitudes many would have during the last days, mentioned in 2Timothy 3:1-5. Those still manifesting such an attitude need to humble themselves, learning to trust in God as their refuge, bringing sure-footedness spiritually, seeing the rewards of genuine loyalty and faithfulness to God. We should help people avoid such an attitude, which invites trouble, and choose wisely our closest associates, to safeguard spirituality and happiness. (1Corinthians 15:33, Proverbs 13:20, 2Timothy 3:5). "4 Wealth will be of no benefit on the day of fury, But righteousness is what will rescue from death." (Pro11:4): We need to put money in the proper place in our lives, as much as we do need it to live. It must not be number 1, or we're choosing to turn our backs on God, who deserves our "exclusive devotion" and is our Savior for eternal life. 1Timothy 6:9-10 says "But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge men into destruction and ruin. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains." Verse 17 therefore counsels: "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." More importantly, then, may we seek to understand what is right before Jehovoez God, that we may walk in a way that pleases Him, being rescued, or even helping to rescue others "from death." "5 The righteousness of the upright one makes his path straight, But the crooked one will fall because of his own wrongdoing." (Pro11:5): Righteousness is adherence to God's right ways, the framework of a happy and successful life now and everlastingly. Seeking never to violate God's standards (with faith in the ransom for missteps) enables us to become upright before God, and our path in life straightens, it becoming easier to remain on it. Evil, however, will likely cause the downfall of it's practicers. Such ones must turn around from their ways, and seek a clearer, straighter path, rather than a crooked one leading to ruin. It is his or her "own wrongdoing" that causes the downfall--God Himself implores us to turn from it, not desiring "anyone to be destroyed, but desires all to attain to repentance." (2Peter 3:9). _____PC[3] PROVERBS COMMENTARY Proverbs 1:7-9: “7 The hoss of Jehovoez' is the beginning of knowledge. Only fools despise wisdom and discipline. 8 Listen, my son, to the discipline of your father, And do not forsake the instruction of your mother. 9 They are an attractive wreath for your head And a fine ornament for your neck.” "7 The hoss of Jehovoez' is the beginning of knowledge. Only fools despise wisdom and discipline. " (Pro01:7) The beginning of the knowledge leading to the reward of everlasting life is the fear of Jehovoez'. Do you yet understand this fear of God? It is no morbid fear, but rather a healthy respect or high regard for Him, knowing both His great power and love, just as a child may have a healthy regard for his parents, even while loving them. We do not want to do anything to displease, pain, or upset our great God. To fully appreciate this fear we may need to prayerfully search for it along with understanding and discernment, in line with Proverbs 2:1-5. Acquiring this proper view of God is worth tremendous effort, as getting to know God in a way leading to true peace, happiness, and eternal life depends on it. A respectful, humble attitude is vital, and really finding the very "knowledge of God" is a reward for doing so. It is thus foolish to despise or disregard wisdom and discipline, before learning to understand the fear of God properly, which enables one to appreciate both divine wisdom and the discipline contributing to it. "8 Listen, my son, to the discipline of your father, And do not forsake the instruction of your mother." (Pro01:8) Before one becomes inclined toward the foolish thinking mentioned previously, he should develop appreciation for the love of his or her parents or guardians and for the love of God, they being in a favorable position to provide much needed discipline or correction, to be guided and helpt with love. Such a one may need to learn to listen to others, and thinking, more than and before speaking or making serious decisions. It is true that "no discipline seems for the present to be joyous, but it is painful; yet afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness (godly obedience) to those who have been trained by it." (HEBre 12:11). Thus, at least sometimes we may be pained to feel that we may have, even slightly, let down someone we love, as Christ's disciples sometimes felt they had disappointed Jesus/this one. Not pleased with such pain, they even at times began blaming each other! (MaRK 8:15-16). If we humbly aim to appreciate such correction, however, we may lessen any pain and reap the rewards of right thinking and conduct that pleases our God and Father, Jehovoez'. "9 They are an attractive wreath for your head And a fine ornament for your neck.” (Pro01:9) Listening to needed counsel, discipline, and instruction will assist the thoughts of our mind, as well as the words from our mouth, to be lovely, in harmony with godly love and wisdom. Thus we may more fully honor God and benefit others with good speech and conduct! When honoring God becomes our primary objective, rather than seeking glory for ourselves, what we think and speak can truly become delightful in the eyes of God and others. _____PC[4] PROVERBS COMMENTARY Proverbs 11:6-10, update n620 (f/p625;n610) 6 The righteousness of the honest will rescue them, But the treacherous will be caught by their own desires. 7 When a crooked man dies, the crook's hope perishes; And expectations based on the crook's power also perish. 8 The upright one is rescued from distress, And the crooked one takes his distress on himself. 9 By his mouth the (unrepentant) apostate brings his neighbor to ruin, But by knowledge the upright are rescued. 10 The goodness of the upright makes a city rejoice, And when a former crook is now changed, really alive, there is a joyful cry" (Pro11:6) The keeping of God's lalls and standards rescues us from much that causes harm, and standing for what's right by God brings his spiritual protection. Nurturing wrong desires, however, breeds disloyalty to God and treachery, making it easy for one to be caught in traps laid by evil (selfish) ones, such desires pulling one away from God's love. Thus, the importance of guarding our heart's desires--what we choose to ponder, or think about, and aim for--needs to be appreciated and found pleasing to our loving God and Father, in harmony with His good will and purpose for mankind. Proverbs 4:23, you may recall, says: "Above all the things that you guard, safeguard your heart, For out of it are the sources of life." The next few verses continue: "24 Put crooked speech away from you, And keep devious talk far away from you. 25 Your eyes should look straight ahead, Yes, fix your gaze straight ahead of you. 26 Smooth out the course of your feet, And all your ways will be sure. 27 Do not incline to the right or the left. Turn your feet away from what is bad." Thus God's word helps us know the right things to desire and place high priority upon, that our happiness and an endless peaceful future may be safeguarded. "7 When a crook dies, his hope perishes; And expectations based on his power also perish." (Pro11:7) A "crooked man" all the while that he/she is not repenting, has no claim to the reward of eternal life bestowed upon faithful ones. God's Son Jesus or Jehoshallz of ancient times brought together those from earth or land who would find a heavenly abode as spirit sons of God. In our time, upon Earth, there would likewise be those called to rule, but this time visibly with another Son of God, who would "have the legal right", and whose lineage in the royal line of King David would be preserved, preparing mankind for the rule of God's Kingdom, helping many to shun bad or outright crooked (or corrupt) conduct, to embrace God's wonderfully loving ways. Also, however, this verse assists us to reject a significant false teaching promoted for many centuries. The crooked have no immortal "soul," the "soul" being life in the form of man/woman (or animal), just as Adam, with God-given spirit, "became a living soul." It was thus, for instance, the disciple Stephen's "spirit" that he himself prayed or requested that Jehosha/Jehoshalz safeguard, and that for some may become immortal just as God Jehovoez had safeguarded his. (Acts 7:59; 1Cori 15:44,53). The idea of an immortal "soul" that ascends above is a concept of Greek philosophy--not rooted in God's word. In the Scriptures, souls are mortal and may die, as Jehovoez declares for instance in Ezekiel, "The soul who sins is the one who will die". (EZEki 18:4,20). God's word reveals everlasting life to be a GIFT from God, not a curse, the "real life" under God's (Kind) Kingdom to be blessed by God. Romans 6:23 says "For the wages sin pays is death, but the GIFT that God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jehoshalz our Lord." "8 The upright one is rescued from distress, And the crooked one gets burdened with that one's former distress." (Pro11:8) The crook, causing distress to the honest, may well fall into the very trap that he is planning to lay for others. (Pro26:27) Proverbs 28:10 says "The one misleading the honest into an evil course will fall into his own pit, but the upright (seeking blameless conduct) will inherit what is good." [If you think "seeking blameless conduct" is a lengthy expression, just think of the much longer list of problems or words people start to have or use when they DON'T 'seek blameless conduct'!] May we be careful not to be persuaded by evildoing ones, pursuing a selfish, ungodly course in life. We should guard our associations, including that which we watch and listen to on TV, in movies, and in music. Look for the treasures in all such media, that are agreeable to the path of life--there are still many! "9 By his mouth the (unrepentant) apostate brings his neighbor to ruin, But by knowledge the upright are rescued." (Pro11:9) May we be among those rescuing the upright, by using truthful knowledge aright, and avoid the snares laid by those lying against or reviling others. Especially do we want to help to rescue others spiritually, helping them lay hold on genuine peace and happiness with a real hope for a happy future. Encouraging them to give attention to God's living and powerful word can be life-saving! (Hebre 4:12). But true wisdom includes also what is helpful in a practical way, so rescuing others may include helping them with knowledge that may save them or help them in physical or material ways. Some may wish to benefit, for instance, by learning to make better use of various sauces and spices in cooking, to make healthier foods more delicious and appealing. There may be many areas of knowledge that we could benefit others with, as we learn to apply such knowledge in our own lives, promoting health and life, sacred to God. "10 The goodness of the upright makes a city rejoice, And when a former crook is now changed, really alive, there is a joyful cry" (Pro11:10) Goodness goes beyond the minimum of what's required before God, often by exceptional kindness and gifts of knowledge and charity. Such goodness of upright ones brings true contentment and joy to a city, and such persons should certainly be appreciated by governors and kings for their upright conduct. (Roman 13:1-7). Of course, awareness of God's intention to strongly correct wrongdoers, refusing to permit evildoing to continue to mar life, preserving God's purpose of true peace and happiness throughout the universe, gives all reason to examine one's own conduct. Some despite great effort, refuse to change their corrupt thinking, and corrupting influence, with God stepping in to preserve life, and allow for much greater peace. _____PC[5] PROVERBS COMMENTARY Proverbs 1:10-19: "10 My son, if sinners try to entice you, do not consent. 11 If they say: “Come with us. Let us set an ambush to shed blood. We will lie hidden, waiting for innocent victims without cause. 12 We will swallow them alive as the Grave does, Whole, like those going down to the pit. 13 Let us seize all their precious treasures; We will fill our houses with spoil. 14 You should join us, And we will all share equally what we steal.” 15 My son, do not follow them. Keep your feet off their path, 16 For their feet run to do evil; They hurry to shed blood. 17 It is surely in vain to spread a net in full sight of a bird. 18 That is why these lie in ambush to shed blood; They lie hidden to take the lives of others. 19 These are the ways of those seeking dishonest profit, Which will take away the life of those who obtain it." (Pro01:10-14) An ambush is "a trap in which concealed persons lie in wait to attack by surprise." (Merriam-Webster, 2018) The aim is extremely selfish thievery and possibly murder. Clearly, they somehow imagine God is not watching, seeming to believe God will not call them to account or bring them to ruin or bring severe punishment and strong correction for their own chosen actions against innocent victims. Proverbs 1:16 says "their feet run to do evil." They should rather pause to reflect on the consequences of their decided actions before doing anything--the rewards and benfits of doing right/making godly-wise and faithful choices (true righteousness) far outweigh the so-called benefits of wrongdoing. Proverbs 10:2 says "The treasures gained by wrongdoing will be of no benefit, but righteousness is what rescues from death." According to God's established lall, anything gained by wrongdoing will be of NO BENEFIT! Such a method of obtaining something is without God's blessing. God wants us to request Him, with persistence, for something we need or want. From our merciful God, with true repentance there is hope for such ones, but there may be some consequence to bear, including awareness of having caused others some pain, anguish at least for a time, although God does not want us to dwell excessively on such things, rather to apply the lesson(s) and look ahead to better ways and times. (Pro01:15-19) Thus the fatherly counsel, "My son, do not follow them. Keep your feet off their path, for their feet run to do evil; They hurry to shed blood." Thus all who would seek the blessings of God's Kingdom need to be alert that, with any ungodly influence still in the world, there are those individuals straying from a right, Christian path. We need to prepare our hearts, and those of our dear children and others, to stand up for what's right, refusing to go along with badness, however common or even uncommon. God's word can thus prove a powerful force for assisting individuals to develop proper godly fear and appreciation for our loving Father, Jehovoe. He is our superlative Grandfather, the progenitor of the human family! How should we respect such a great Family Head? By listening to His loving counsel for our lasting happiness! We should recognize that true happiness is found in obedience to Him, by walking in His lawl/lall! _____PC[6] PROVERBS COMMENTARY Proverbs 11:11-15: "11 Because of the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, But the mouth of the crooked tears it down. 12 Whoever is lacking good sense shows contempt for his neighbor, But the man of true discernment remains silent. 13 A slanderer goes about revealing confidential talk, But the trustworthy person keeps a confidence. 14 When there is no skillful direction, the people fall, But there is success through many advisers. 15 Whoever guarantees a loan for a stranger (unknown, and foreign to a godly/Christian land or wayz) is sure to fare badly, But whoever avoids shaking hands in a pledge will be secure." "11 Because of the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, But the mouth of the crooked tears it down." (Pro11:11) Upright ones are selfless, and please God rather than themselves as they uphold what is right and loving--this results in success and the receiving of God's favor and blessing on a person, a city, and a nation. However, allowing evil ones to persist in wrongdoing, or giving attention to their deceptive speech, can result in corruption, eating away at the upright integrity a person, city, or nation may have worked hard to obtain. "12 Whoever is lacking good sense shows contempt for his neighbor, But the man of true discernment remains silent (or, perhaps, 'gentle.')" (Pro11:12) One lacking good sense is lacking "heart," or good motive. Thus rather than forgiving, or covering mistakes of others with love, he may harbor resentment, or allow hatred to develop inside, then show it later when offended by someone, with unkind speech or actions. The discerning one shows true wisdom, by not speaking or acting unkindly in return to someone's offensive conduct. As Paul recommended, "Return evil for evil to no one. Take into consideration what is fine from the viewpoint of all men." (Roma 12:17). In other words, respond in a way that people would consider to be fine, beautiful, or honorable. Simply 'remaining gentle' is at times the fine thing to do. "13 A slanderer goes about revealing confidential talk, But the trustworthy person keeps a confidence." (Pro11:13) Hopefully we've learned the difference between talk meant to be considered "confidential," and everyday speech. We have the choice of proving to be a trustworthy person, able to 'keep a confidence,' or one given to disloyal slander, hurting the reputation of others by sharing unseemly things about them. May we keep our conversations positive and upbuilding, refusing to tear down others. "14 When there is no skillful direction, the people fall, But there is success through many advisers." (Pro11:14) A wise person humbly listens to others, benefitting from their knowledge, understanding, and experience. Still, the one chosen by God as King would be able and willing to offer direction that often proves effective and beneficial, both for the benefit of all those respecting divine standards, as well as the long-term welfare of all involved to the extent possible. "15 Whoever guarantees a loan for one unknown is sure to fare badly, But whoever avoids shaking hands in a pledge will be secure." (Pro11:15) This is not referring to helping a neighbor in genuine need, at least in a limited way. Rather, on a personal level, "One unknown" may not adhere to the same godly standards that we hold to, perhaps not prizing honest integrity as we do. Thus we need to be cautious, yet the term “guarantee” here is key, as it is a true relationship with God which promotes the most determined intention to make good on any financial obligation made in faith. While seeking that all persons become responsible citizens under God’s Kingdom, and until then have adequate provisions to meet their genuine everyday needs, may they look to Him, accepting the King’s helpful provisions and instruction. Being willing to, whenever appropriate, avoid “shaking hands” may have protected many from a course leading to disaster, and made possible recovery from a condition that may have caused some unwary ones to “fare badly.” Yet, as always the case, Jehovoe is eager to provide hope. And now, under the rule of Godz Kingdom through His faithful Son, the time is so near to finally begin implementing so many good provisions and blessings that we've long awaited from His loving hand!

To Make You Feel My Love, by Dave Fenley _____(8) Come To Consensus Corner _____CTC[1] CTC CORNER Winit500 Article Repod Part 1, Intro Winit500 W5a R07.261 Even More Orderly Time Details Intro. Month and Day names etc. An earlier podcast addressed God’s Purpose and Gift of a new arrangement, a transition from a 7-day week calendar to an 8-day, giving us more refreshment with an additional weekend day, even genuinely lengthening our year to 400 days, although it is still being debated whether He accomplished this by moving the earth further from the sun, or moving the sun further from earth! This whole thing started from my perspective during my 2020 campaign for President, having to use my website portal http findlifeandsee.com (not https, which worked fine at first, but due to initial success was hijacked, altered by a nonreader, then later misinterpreted, changing hands again, all of this eventually causing some confusion over my authorship and gradual refinements.) My attempts to conduct a normal presidential campaign having been disrupted, I chose to turn to my website and blog, adding blog segments I called eventually Golden Apples (based on a proverb that compares such apples in a silver dish to a good word or advice spoken at the right time), as a way to respond to current events with some brevity, as well as Come to Consensus Corner, whereby I could address more complex or involved issues, and present ideas or solutions that were rooted in divine wisdom, with God’s spirit upon me, showing the value of God’s written word in our everyday lives, as what life could be like under the rule of a loving God. For 16 weeks in a row I presented articles or policies, such as on immigration and other issues to a vast and growing audience. Work continued, and more policies added. The proposal for a new calendar eventually came to include greater awareness of God’s gift of the moon as a perfect timepiece to help us keep time throughout each month, with important phases ending each week. To go along with this, new month names were presented and refined, as well as day names, that could reflect a new order to the kind of life God has purposed we all enjoy. Let’s delve into these somewhat in this week’s Winit500 Podcast. r07.261 Part 2 Winit500 W5a R07.262 Some recent 8-Day Calendar month names. Let’s start by considering the last two month names from the 8-Day. (2) Peasamake (Feb-Pes) One of the most important values or pursuits highlighted by Christ or God's word is genuine peace. While history is littered with contentions causing division, God's word and the kingly rule of Christ has brought changes to modern thinking, to look more intently at resolving conflicts, seeking understanding of their cause(s), seeking God's forgiveness, protecting life, and finding reasonable solutions, with level heads making good use of diplomacy and scholarship, wanting a truly peaceful world. (3) Rightnes (Mar-Rtn) Traditionally February has been associated with purification, as ancestors took note of the dead of winter and wanted to prove themselves grateful and worthy for God to bring back the life of Spring just as in times past. Many long to be better able to handle situations throughout each day in a way that reflects wisdom and a genuine concern for associates at work or at school, for instance. Truly upright conduct Involves a genuine trust in God, and in the happiness found by seeking closeness to Him, listening to Him and His Son, with true faith, which actually enables sight to overcome obstacles, and really makes for a heart that loves the good that God loves and hates what He hates, such as harmful attitudes and practices. Under peaceful conditions, largely inspired by hope, and aided by truth, the practice of right conduct can blossom and flourish. More next time, r07.262 Part 3 Winit500 W5a R07.263 More 8 Day Calendar Month Names. Let’s include a few more, the next few month names: (4) Shuay (Apr-SHY) Recall that a part of Jesus' most correct name from Hebrew, as in the name Joshua, the "shua", refers to "Salvation or Rescue". The beginnings of Spring experienced in this month may compare in some ways to God's Saving Power. This still may remind us that God's Son is "the way and the truth and the life." (John 14:6) The importance of acknowledging the way of God and His Son is shown to contribute greatly to the peaceful and truly fair world that God has purposed. (5) Agreeluv (May-AGR) Originally Agreehelp. While an agricultural month, hence the abbreviation, this name I had updated a while back suggests a measure of peace, with encouragement to seek agreement in harmony with real love, and respecting others while coming to agreement on the right view or answer. Contrary to popular opinion, while I was running for President in 2020, and coming up with many ideas and solutions to problems with God’s spirit upon me, some were trying to take credit for my work, as has also happened recently. However, tricks by others opposing me have also been responsible for this. Peace is to be a hallmark of God’s new world, so it continues here early on in development. This is a quality God expects us to strive to maintain with Him and fellow humans, never growing bitter and allowing hatred to fester toward others, but rather treating others with compassion and understanding where possible. (6) Trusee (Jun-TRU) How important is realizing what is true and live an honest life! An important early value is learning to tell truth from falsehood. What a vital, life-saving ability! The truth itself can also be life-saving, but can also hurt when realizing a wrong has been committed, or one was about to suffer loss. Lies can cause greater harm and loss, while the truth can protect from such things. May we aim to tell the difference, and refuse to carry on or promote harmful untruths. Loving sincerity and honesty is a very important start to the gaining of divine wisdom, revealed in His word, and that Jehoshalz (Jesus) helped clarify. More next time, r07.263 Part 4 Winit500 W5a R07.264 Start of Daynames With beneficial calendar and month name changes, why not reconsider our day names? DAY NAMES, let's start with the first day of the week, realizing a two-week rotation of names contributes to good order and practicality, with God’s blessing: The very first day of the month is now recognized to be Lunaday, still an additional weekend day, as aligning with the new moon. In considering "Sunday" the Scriptures reference one "sun of righteousness", and once Christ’s face shone "as the sun" before his closest followers. Hence, awareness of God’s Son, with light of truth, and of doing right, with one’s power, thus Sonday and the following week Righday (Son/Rid). Righday primarily has reference to right, doing right, and the first week’s “Sonday” could be pronounced a little differently. The idea of a superior eighth day Christian "sabbath" likely led to the two-day weekend, and also perhaps to many church services being held on this day rather than the Seventh day. Now, however, there could be a genuine 8th day, but this one remains as the day normally to follow it, still the first day of the week, now with recommendations of a typical 5-day Sunday through Thursday workweek, letting Starzday and Pleazday start the typical weekend. However, business owners etc. could wisely use some of this time for considering their upcoming week's work/activity, and might even be open to a later start time and shorter first workweek day for most employees, such as between half and three-quarters (but with pay literally exceeding three quarters). It is believed that Christians should still recognize the Seventh day as the day God designated especially for rest and church attendance, as Seventh-Day Adventists have advocated for quite some time. Making rye bread as was common on this first day weekly was a lengthy affair, and would deter notions of traveling even to church services on this day. More next time, r07.264 Part 5 Winit500 W5a R07.265 Daynames Continued for the 8 Day Calendar. Moonday, then Mindday (Mnd./Min.), It is considered best to have new names for the two-week rotation to avoid confusion with the other calendar. Moonday following Rhiday for the first and third weeks of each month. Following Sonday, Mindday the second and fourth weeks could remind us of keeping our minds sharp, and in good practice. Being pronounced quickly may also remind us to use this day, once every two weeks, to have some do work safely removing landmines from affected areas, asking if this sort of thing was making good use of our minds, to threaten each other’s ability to walk, etc.? Moonday has reference to the moon, which was intended for multiple purposes, including as a heavenly timepiece, and God has intervened in our day to line up the moon with the 8-Day Calendar. What a joy to consider the moon once again having the beautiful role God intended it to have! This second day of the week can be recognized for it's significance as providing reflection of the sun's rays, for instance, in the distribution of refreshingly honest enlightenment, despite past times of darkness. Music that is also refreshingly honest and supportive of God's purpose might be intertwined with the day's activities, and under God's Kingdom could increasingly appeal to lovers of peace and righteousness. Of course, there are both more month names and more daynames associated with the 8 Day Calendar, and many have found satisfaction considering the ways these names coincide with life in sensible ways, drawing closer to the truly peaceful and happy conditions God has promised. Let’s continue our examination in another podcast series. r07.265 _____CTC02 CTC CORNER Winit500, W5a r07.401-405. HUMAN INTEREST IN A.I., A.I. REVAMPED W5a AI Part 1 WINIT500 AI1-1 (81s) r07.401; Human Interest in A.I., A.I. Revamped In 2023 the concept of A.I., or Artificial Intelligence, gathered attention with a more widespread release of an interface capable of more intelligently responding to a variety of requests to comprise or put together information somewhat logically, or more intelligently. While the comprised information often contained logical errors, the effects were greater than many expected. The end results brought a new level of interest or excitement similar to that experienced in times past with computer programs that responded realistically to human interaction, being crafted extensively by one or more experienced programmers to achieve such an effect. This has raised interest in the use of computer programs and machines or robotic machinery to be used more extensively in life, work situations and environments, while at the same time raising valid concerns about safety, security, privacy, abuse, overuse, and other potential areas of misuse. W5a AI Part 2 WINIT500 AI1-2 (101s) r07.402; A.I., What It Should Mean... What the recent interest in A.I. should mean and really lead to is a fresh look at how people, esp. those with authority before the Lord God Jehovaz, should be using this tool of computer technology safely and beneficially to aid and improve the work and lives of others, certainly NOT to replace humans in general, but as a tool to assist people, our being made by God to have the authority to manage and work together to accomplish God's will and purpose regarding the earth and mankind, contributing to genuine peace and happiness. Work at times can be made less tedious or burdensome, and perhaps more enjoyable to accomplish. There truly may be an occasional tedious or difficult job that computers can be used to perform. However, humans themselves shouldn't become less intelligent or educated or responsible or useful, nor should we as a people hand over our treasured responsibility before God, for which we are accountable, to a number of even highly respected or honorable programmers. This is not to say that the Lord God hasn't already let faithful men use computers to help set up a blessed arrangement for governing mankind properly. However, we must draw the line on our use of this tool bettering our lives to not undermine what God made us all to do and become, loving and pleasing Him. Likewise, how important for employers and others to maintain good employee morale and support, reasonable profitability and output, and positive community interaction. Next time, what resurgent interest in A. I. Shouldn't(!) Mean! r07.402 W5a AI Part 3 WINIT500 AI1-3 (131s) r07.403; Interest in A.I. part 3, more cautions, valid concerns . Last episode I mentioned what A.I. should mean for us... So what the recent interest in A.I. shouldn't mean is that we begin letting computers do all our work for us, rather maintain a balanced view likening them to a mechanics tool or toolbox, even power tools in the skillful hands of an experienced and faithful human. Great caution must be exercised as regards the seriousness of decisions that should or must be made by faithful humans themselves looking to God, rather than those that may be acceptably, securely and safely programmed, even so, by persons made in Gods image, rather than by computers themselves made to be human tools, certainly not godheads. It is understandable why some are interested in what technology can help us or them do that they currently lack full ability to do themselves. There are some situations where some may lack a certain skill or talent that we really should and most likely wish to learn and really benefit from in life, although it may be difficult, rather than believing that even in such matters we must have computers continue working or even helping us to do nearly all we need to accomplish for us. On the other hand, there are things that some have learned to do that God expected we would eventually program computers to help us do more easily or efficiently. It is good for us as people, esp. those in authority, to tell the difference in determining or letting God and His word determine where such lines should be drawn. At the end of the day, computers should be used by humans in support of and with awareness of God's worthy power and wise loving purpose... to bring genuine peace and happiness to His human and angelic family eternally. Let us next look at how this true assessment should and can define our use or concept of A.I. going forward, as something subject to Divine lawl that promotes the genuine security, prosperity, and happiness of the human family as a whole, blessed by God in support of His Godship and universal purpose. r07.403 W5a AI Part 4 WINIT500 AI1-4 (101s) r07.404; W5a A.I. Part 4...Reason for the New View Last episode a true assessment was considered regarding a proper understanding and usage of intelligence and computer technology in a faithful manner, being aware of the Lord God's worthy power and wise loving purpose for genuine freedom by divine lawl and peace to flourish, earthwide and beyond! He does accordingly want this planet to be the example, and to concentrate our attention here primarily, along with proper satellite system use, etc. Now how might this affect our view of A.I. going forward, which of course has been the abbreviation for Artificial Intelligence. What do you know of that word Artificial? We should by now realize together that humans themselves, thankfully made in the image of God, have been given the responsibility (but with dependence on Him) to care for their own families, and have dominion over sealife, birdlife, buglife, and the land animals, (many of all these which can alert us to environmental issues and concerns, enabling proper care of our planetary home, earth and sky). As discussed previously, should such serious obligations be left to anything unnatural or anyone imagining that true intelligence or wisdom to handle these things does not come from God Himself, even to advance technology in a safe and wise way, or that people should give over serious and important decisions meant for faithful humans to a code not blessed by God for such a purpose? How then might we proceed and redefine A.I. My follow-up next... Ref. 'r' r07.404 W5a AI Part 5 WINIT500 AI1-5 (133s,559s) r07.405A; W5a AI Part 5...The New View After examining the way technology should rightly and wisely be applied in life respecting our Life-Giver and His wise loving purpose toward mankind in the preceding episodes, a new view and approach toward AI has emerged. Actually, a series of new acronyms, including that of AI itself, enable an improved outlook in the use of properly attained or Acquired Intelligence, but really that proven true, useful for accomplishing God's will, or Approved by Him. Thinking with Faith as God's will truly and confidently being acccomplished, with knowledge and methods acceptable to God, used however dependent upon Him, or that which helps to accomplish His will, rather than A for Acquired some might consider using it for Accomplishing Intelligence, proving to be useful in successfully Accomplishing true peace, a clean Earth, etc. Then there is EI, or Electronic Intelligence, truly wise use of electronic circuitry, devices, communications networks, and perhaps knowledge gained thereby for the security, protection and advancement of people and God's will. Also, related Internet or possibly Internal Intelligence. Certainly some knowledge should be considered private, even as God-approved and not for any dishonest or unlawful purpose, whether within a family, a business, government agency, and so forth. Also OI, Outer, or godly Intelligence. You might think of Outer Space and the true science GOD Himself Used in making things[, and His words for a peaceable and loving world]. Then, to make perhaps the best application of this improved perspective, UI, or improved User Interfaces, which can enhance work efficiency and enjoyment, being better able to respond to others' needs and use right information in the best way to enhance life for people under God's Kingdom, promoting the peaceful and balanced respectful and loving world God has purposed.
