Frozen Tundra.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

Now days, the time is passing so much faster and I know why, with some one new in my life, and unfortunately, I almost wish we had more time before the Lord comes now.... sorry folks,  too bad we didn't have a few more years to enjoy life to the fullest now, personally speaking-- and I know that's a selfish wish.  I am not used to being so happy all the time!!  Few folks gave a rip about me with my sorrows and life of hard knocks before as they were all too consumed with their own little niche in society and life with loved ones and families-- they all had someone to love and take care of them.  Sorry again, folks, but I am just telling the truth as I see it.  My own dear Mom is even a bit bitter, crabby and jealous of my good blessings being showered upon me lately. 
    But I promised my readers and others that I would NOT get negative anymore, but be joyous and cheerful from now on-- unless I needed to tell the truth about on going news, the Middle East, politics [which always makes me SICK!], etc., God's pure Word, the Bible, etc.   And because I am sort of in transit, I really cannot  publish where I am specifically, lest some degenerate decides to break in somewhere to steal, etc., but I already have stowed away some valuables.  If God wills it I may be putting a ring on someone's finger down the road, soon enough... but I am taking things slow and careful.  The town I hope to move to has it's own large VAMC, and a YMCA, etc!!  And I know that I can find some good people to hang with there-- besides finding a Bible teaching church to boot, that is not too judgemental. 

I love being able to drive my Dodge Ram 4 by 4 into a huge snow drift and then just twist the little 4WD  knob inside the cab and drive right out again...LOL.  It's slick ice that bugs me and makes me slow down.  I just bought a new HP--PC a week ago and learning to use it, with a touch screen feature, more to learn.  And living in the 'frozen Tundra' makes life interesting up here too, but I know how to dress. 

So I feel so much more happy lately, but have much to work on at this time, tax season, and transfering some things, but still taking things nice and slow.

I invite all my friends to continue praying for me, please, and be happy for me.   I will continue to pray for and email my dear old friends and offer true encouragment to them too.

Warm Regards,

Still Waklking on Sunshine.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

I thought that since I am doing some extra special things right now that I cannot get into the specifics[ fully, that it seems the right time to write the Blog now, because I may not get another chance for a short while-- and am considering getting a newer, better PC for my emailing and journalism/ blogging, etc.  I feel so good lately, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, like my ship FINALLY came in and I am so happy that I am actually afraid that it's a DREAM!!  Ha!  God only knows what the future will bring, as we [ALL Believers] truly understand that our future, lives, Salvation is in the Father's mighty hands-- [because we belong to the Christ, and we ARE Saved]. Actually, the odds of me falling upon such rich, powerful, unspeakable blessings right now seem like a  million to one-- and a few people, some women, feel bitter and angry because I was just too needy, lonely and hungry for real, genuine, exclusive Christian [Agape] Love about 2 weeks ago, and made a bold move--instead of continuing their silly games or playing 'cat and mouse' for their crude entertainment..Ha!  Sorry ladies, this is not a game with me-- and I play for keeps-- and it's a Hunt, and not a game. Be warned-- Be advised:  'Men don't like to play games' -- and they are usually more honest than the females.. sorry ladies.    A beautiful servant of the Lord, named Terri, found me and we bonded instantly, with  such UNCANNY, weird, 100% matched, in tune, personalities, culture, things in common, that continues to freak us both out-- because what are the odds that we are both so COMPATIBLE??!!  We both were looking for the same, exact qualities in each other so that we compliment each other to the letter, and I still think it's too good to be true-- and waiting for the "other shoe to drop!"  BUT.. we are still taking it very slowly and not jumping into anything.
    It also seems like all our past suffering, loneliness, abuse, HORRIBLE LOSSES OR LOVED ONES,  hurt and sorrow, was a testing and purification for what we have now.  I just have a morbid fear that something is going to take away the supreme blessing that we have in each other now... and I would survive, but it would tear me up, big time, and Terri said it would devastate her too.  Still, the Rapture will come, and not one second before the Father in Heaven says so.  We pray and study the Bible together every day, and are on the same page, and are both so happy to share what ever time together we have left on earth, and refuse to let ANYONE try to break us up with any negative remarks or statements.  I would have settled for a 'more average', older looking woman , but she is, in fact very beautiful, kind, smart, educated, precious, and financially secure lady.  How blessed can one old disabled, combat Veteran get, and she teats me like a king, with love and respect!
     I had much pause in even writing a blog like this, taking another chance, having been burned too many times in the past, having it blow up in my face again... but we can also look at it another way;  Much of the rough edges on me have been rounded off, planed and sanded, varnished and polished, so that Terri has a better quality gentleman now... so we both bring some very good, high quality things to the table, and don't we really deserve a little happiness at our age, after we've both worked so hard all our lives, although she still works, and very hard at her job.
  So maybe in a couple of months I might put my old house on the block for sale, and we will just take one day at a time-- and 'make it a master piece.'  Or..."Damn the torpedoes, and full speed ahead."  --John Paul Jones [?].  Or.. 'To the stars thru bolts and bars.'  
     And isn't it funny how all the other 'dog piles' in our lives, the stupid TV, politics, and others' concerns, thoughts and scare tactics, interference, and silly jealousies, mean absolutely nothing to us right now.  They OUGHT TO BE HAPPY FOR US-- instead of Pontificating,  playing 'Chicken Little' and talking negative all the time!!!  Don't they have a life of their own, or do that just have so much free time so as to make/ stir up trouble for us...LOL?  Nobody's gonna break my stride... and we're going to make our own kind of music.  What gets me is that other people already have someone in their lives-- yet they expect me to live alone with out a soul mate and someone to care for, to have and to hold, to love, someone special to talk to and hug.  "Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it." Let those self righteous, holier than thou type of people walk in my shoes and carry MY load for a few months up hill, with hurtful knees and back, and then see how they talk and act.  But I am NOT bitter, or scolding, or negative today-- just happy and so glad-- having my little place in the sun [but right now a place in the high winds, snow, ice, and cold..., lol].
  I took Terri out for a romantic, great German cuisine restaurant this evening, called:  House of Gerhard,in Kenosha, WI., after we looked at and bought some gold trinkets in Brookfield, WI today, and had a super fine time, just being with each other.
   Maybe I will get another chance to post a gentle, peaceful, positive update down the road, and I wish everyone of my friends and readers well, a safe,warm and cozy Winter, in the mean time.  Take life easy, one day at a time-- and make it a master piece!  Be safe!
    Are you really for the RAPTURE??
    Your continued prayers are very welcome and appreciated.  Thank you !   I am cutting back, cutting off/ exiting all my dating web sites, and never enjoyed the "dating game" anyway, with so many "players," selfish, greedy, users, gold diggers, liars, 'gamers', etc.  They all can just jump into Lake Michigan, and cool off... lol.  Many of them wanted a younger,more thin/ trim, more handsome, more rich, man; or they just wanted a free supper, ignoring the simple fact that my profile specifically said that I was looking for a LTR- Long Term Relationship with a Christian woman.  They loved playing 'hard to catch/ get' and it was never more than a game to them, playing with men's feelings-- so they missed their chance,and what goes around comes around.

Warm Regards,

The real Obama.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

Although I usually/ actually always lean toward the Conservative side of politics that mirror my own code of conduct, I have not picked a candidate yet, and sorry to say we don't have a great person in the field yet---  But, I feel that ANY BODY ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE WILL BE 10 TIMES BETTER THAN OBAMA!!  Glenn Beck was correct, right, right on target about all he said about Obama and his cohorts/ bunglers, and henchmen! Beck taught us all before he got pulled from pressure from the Lefty Liberals....shame.
    All real Christians know from serious Bible study that the REAL Messiah will be coming soon to set things right, and he won't be a political human or even a Conservative elected by a body of people-- but he is the one and only Jesus Christ-- our Lord and Savior!  Mine, anyway...  He will eliminate all human Governments and set himself up as ruler of the New Earth and the New Heavens, but we must go thru the Rapture first-- and the Great Tribulation will happen to those 'Left Behind' on earth-- and that will be a prelude to hell for most of them...shame and pity, that they just won't bend knee and follow the real King... but we have plowed this ground many times, have we not, good friends and readers ? 

Warm Regards,
Tom Schuckman

OBAMA'S COLLEGE CLASSMATE SPEAKS OUT
Description: cid:X.MA1.1310998925@aol.com
By Wayne Allyn Root, June 6th, 2010
Barack Hussein Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.
To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing.
He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure,
economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and
our country from within.
Barack Hussein Obama was my college classmate
Description:  cid:X.MA2.1310998925@aol.com
( Columbia University , class of '83).
He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled.
Look at his Czars...anti-business. .anti-American.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussein Obama is
following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University .
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system
with government spending and entitlement demands.
Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming.
Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.
Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).
Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt.
What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government.  Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with
health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.
It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control
of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors.
Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns
NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.
They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state?
Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Barack Hussein Obama's plan all along.
His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.
Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America .  But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,
food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?
It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.
It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.
It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).
A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).
All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America .
The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.
The ends justify the means.
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).
Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussein Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by
my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussein Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.
"Correctly attributed" says snopes!
http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/overwhelm.asp
If he is re-elected in 2012, the US is finished. The following is in simple language that everyone can understand. Not the gibberish that our government keeps telling people. Please read this carefully and make sure you keep this message going. This needs to be emailed to everyone in the USA .
                                   Yet, there are going to be people who vote for him AGAIN!!A

Israel Hoodwinking the Bird.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

And the beat goes on.. but many of my friends say that I shouldn't stop living and planning my future just because the Middle East is about to explode and precipitate something so big that it will rock the world [see the fine article down below, please], including the USA.  Sorry, but the politics in our country and the race for President, just makes me annoyed, bored, and skeptical... although I will vote for the candidate who most represents our U.S. Constitution and good laws of the land-- and Conservative values, or course.  When 50% of the people here have to work hard-- to carry the other 50% in the USA on their backs-- who WON'T work for all the entitlements-- I just have to draw the line because this just cannot go on much farther  before we collapse under the national debt, and strain heaped on the backs for the working men, and women!!  Really, it's  very simple math and economics, friends! 
    I am in a very happy mood lately, and those very close to me know the reason-- and I just hope it works this time around... so I guess that there are still a few, good, warm hearted people in the world who still know what honesty, love and honor mean, and live by a code that I do--you might call it "Old School."   I have learned to takes things slowly and one step at a time.  Someone is helping me to ponder and work thru the hard times, losses and challenges I have, especially last year, 2011.   So someone with a high intellect with a big heart of gold has come to like me a lot and wants to be a part of my life, so we will see what happens down the road.  All I am saying that it is so nice to have special friends, and I am not pushing too hard, and keeping a lid on things for a while.  I continue to seek God's blessings upon me, and also pray for other peoples' challenges too, as we all have our own cross to bear, sooner of later.  My Mom is chocking and coughing all the time, so I told her to drink more water with a twist of  fresh lemon in it-- but I know she never listens to me, her being age 85 and set in her ways.  I suppose I will have to buy some real lemons for her and maybe some mineral water... and I don't mind doing that, if it helps her, but we all know that older people get to be a little stubborn in their old age, even if I have seriously studied healing herbs for the past 40 years...Ha!    Some people in the family lost tons of money with their 'investments' too, even though they knew I was a Registered Rep with a large Financial giant a few years back and have done very well for myself... oh well.  Maybe they needed to be humbled a bit...  I usually don't ask or tell a person twice about some advantage or good thing.  I just let them learn the hard way, and  a little humility is good for those who are so pridefull and arragant.  Sorry to say, I had to learn the hard way too when I was younger, and now have all this hard won knowledge and wisdom-- but few people want to listen..  and it's the same way with the Gospel, and the Bible.  I read and study until my eye balls fall out... lol, but few see the advantage in learning about God's pure love for all mankind, and He takes no delight in seeing one rebeleous -- for He knows that hell is a terrible place, that Jesus talked more about hell than he did about heaven!!  And even though the Packers and the Broncos both lost-- many people now know what one special quarter back meant by wearing football face paint:  John 3:16  !!  Wow!  I like and respect both quarter backs, and if the recieves couldn't catch the ball or turned it over to the other team so many times-- who's fault was that?  That was a sore loss I had to watch today-- but one team was just better than the other this afternoon...  and the beat goes on.
Warm Regards,

Israel - Church Differences.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

Israel-Church Differences
Posted: 12 Jan 2012 06:32 AM PST


By Dr. Andy Woods Sugar Land Bible Church One of the rules of basic Bible interpretation is to recognize that the church and Israel represent separate programs of God. They are two trains running on separate railroad tracks. Theologian and founder of Dallas Theological Seminary, Lewis Sperry Chafer, noted twenty-four differences between Israel and the church. [1] Here are a few. First,

hope that there is a Link included with this article, but I know that  you can Link up with others sources, ei:  The Bible in the Prophecy, someway, somehow. 

I try hard not to spread my blog to newer people, especially those too "young"  or new in the Bible, who don't have a basic foundation in the Scriptures, and I suppose that it IS a bit " too intense"-- too deep, as one woman told me, as she cancelled a date with me... lol.  Her loss, or her myopic, ignorant, lazy mind that may not reap the benefits of splendor in the Rapture. But can we really expect someone who was never trained, studied or even read the Bible-- to understand the more weighty things hidden in the Scriptures???  It's like anything else in this world-- we are ALL ignorant to some extent.  Heck!  What do I know about giving birth to a baby or women's dress sizes..duh??  I just gave my wife some money and said,"go get what ever you want or need [in the past]." And who knew better than her?  I consult "experts" in many different fields that I am unfamiliar with to get the best that I can.   And I do stress that term Rapture a lot because that is the big 'vehicle' that will occur in the twinkling of an eye, and very soon, as millions of studious Christian all over the world believe.  Are we Christians missing anything special by studying the Bible and knowing all these things??  Of course not!  We lead happy, fruitful, productive lives, we suffer, hug, cry when we are hurt or lose a loved one, and are just as human as anyone else-- except that we are Saved, and know where we are going.  Not because we are better human beings or sinless--- But because we are just smart enough to 'Kiss the Son, Jesus Christ, and bend knee to Him, and confess Him as our personal Lord and Savior.  Sorry folks... it's as simple as that!  

Frankly, I learned a lot from this article, again, and so I felt the need to share it with my friends and readers.  I decided not to pester the good people so much in this new year, 2012, but to season my words with salt, take my time and cherry pick the words more carefully.

Well, we got our first snow in Wisconsin, about 5 inches with all the goofy Media hype... LOL, but i don't know why all the hoop-la when we have lived here for many years and know it will snow again.  If you don't like the change of Seasons, go to FL or AZ !!  I just happen to like and cheer for the Green Bay Packers, and I think the quarter back is someone special, as we have a few things in common.

I was afraid that my PC was slowing down and burning out, but I shut it down and powered back up, so that it runs a bit better now, and I need to straighten out my anti-virus thingy today.  I feel that I just might have made another good, close friend, but I will keep it under wraps until I know more, and feel kind of superstitious mentioning the person .. yet.  I hope to take things slow this time and learn from my past mistakes-- but you have to admit that there are so many insecure women out there [and men] who honestly don't know what the heck they want, or are looking for....duh.  As for me, I DO know.  And I don't think I am doing myself any good staying in this one horse town all alone, or others any good either. I need more space, area, and new people to share the Bible with, and bible tracts.   It's been a rough year in 2011, and I figure that it's just about time to expand and broaden my horizons.  I have a good positive feeling, and just need to force myself to do more.  Who ever shoveled my front and back yard-- THANK YOU!!  I certainly appreciate it.  

I should have beat myself to do some veggie and fruit shopping today after lunch [and almost choked on a fish bone... but I went home instead.  I need to drink more water for my dry skin in the Winter, and I bought an ice scrapper for my truck today, and a needle nose pliers... maybe to pull out fish bones in an emergency at home.  I want to try harder to stop talking about my extreme losses of last year and try to move on now, making new friends!

Most Important Choices.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

"You got to know when to hold 'em-- know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run..."  And, "never say never."  It was good to take a short sabbatical, but I just found something so important that I didn't totally understand until this evening-- so I thought it was important enough to share it with as many others as I could-- and my post stands up to that muster, and FB too.  
   I want to also commend, salute and thank the closer, 'inner-circle' of friends I have who gave me the right, correct, most true advice these past few months and weeks concerning me --feeling so all alone this year...Hey!  You guys and gals were RIGHT!  I always try to give credit where credit is due, and you already know and remember who you are, but if I try to name you all-- I will forget a few, and hurt some feelings, but I will remember them all later--AFTER my post...LOL.  Hey, I'm old as dirt...Ha!  So, the facts are,  and God/ Scriptures say that, roughly speaking, paraphrased:   IF WE FORGET OUR OWN DESIRES AND WANTS, THE GOOD LORD WILL PROVIDE THEM FOR US, IF THEY ARE IN OUR BEST INTERESTS, if we put God first in our lives!  That is part of the 'quantum leap' equation for tonight... as the fine article brings to light, but there are so many other important details that can be learned tonight by investing the time to read and study.  I will study, write down, research and remember this article too, some more, because I feel that it's THAT important.  

My past selfish, erroneous thinking was that I would have to sacrifice everything I love and hold dear to serve God the right way-- that He wants, but I was wrong, and that was holding up my spiritual progress and development, and possibly my relationships. Now, I believe that I can go full throttle forward using my spiritual "gifts" and still be a very happy, fulfilled  man... instead of just worrying about my own fleshly desires, or crying in my beer, and the Spirit will continue to help me store up more treasures in heaven, and accomplish more on earth.  

And, the scholar who wrote the article uses the same slang that I do..."CHINO" -- 'Christian in name only', and I had the chance to reflect upon my own inner thoughts that just may have been motivated for some of the wrong reasons in the past, although I have always felt very good about helping others in so many ways.  Some stuff I knew, and others beliefs were reinforced, and others a somewhat newer concept... but now I've GOT IT!   It's one of those moments where... if I thought I was pretty knowledgeable in bible truths, and I learned something important and new-- perhaps many of my friends and readers would appreciate reading/ learning  these things too!

On the other hand, this "new knowledge" might rub some folks the wrong way, because the most true definitions are now laid out for every one to see and comprehend!  Oh well... my sword has two edges.  
And the final note:  "It's NEVER too late to learn, or start implementing this great, scriptural information!!  Woo Woo!  
 


There are some new people I have been talking with lately, but a certain friend  in the great state of KY that I like and care for, but I don't really know what the future will be, [been burned and disappointed too many times to know what will, or will not work...lol], and so God will work it all out, one way or another, so I am not going to worry about those things anymore.   I ask for all your prayers so that everything turns out, works out right, and that everyone is blessed, one way or another.  Also my youngest daughter and grand kids in CO, and other friends there, in KS, and else where too, I think about often.  My dear old mom is not feeling well lately either, and is age 85, and somewhat disabled.   This great info/ post will surely bless them too.  PTL.


Christian Hugs,
Tom   .. Tom, in 'Nam, at age 19. Now I am a soldier of Christ.
