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,

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,

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 ?

AH HA!!!!!!

The truth FINALLY comes out!!!!!!

OBAMA'S COLLEGE CLASSMATE SPEAKS OUT
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
( 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

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 Hoodwinking the 'Bird'?

Posted: 15 Jan 2012 01:14 PM PST

By Joseph Farah WND A U.S. intelligence source tells G2Bulletin that the Israelis, who know the overflight schedule of U.S. surveillance satellites monitoring their war preparations, wait until the “bird” passes and then resume what appears to be increased mobilization activities. Sources say the Israelis are making war preparations, but subtly, in an effort to lessen the world’s notice

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!

"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.

Hi Friends, Readers, Brothers/ Sisters in Christ., etc.,
I have decided to put my Blog on hold for a while or what ever, for a number of personal reasons. I guess that perhaps the slow down of comments reflects a lack of interest these days, and maybe I just lost my touch, became too bitter with the way things have been going, suffered too great a loss of loved, dear ones this past year, but most of all, I believe that I have hurt and injured too many others, no matter if I meant to or not. Yes, the Truth hurts, but perhaps my personal opinions were too 'intense' and people pretty much would rather have their 'ears tickled'... according to Paul --writing Timothy.

I have also spoiled my chances to see and meet new people, prospective ladies, dates, etc., and my brand of truth is just not palatable now days with the vast majority of new people who read my posts. I guess I have been writing for about 5 years or more, and need to give it a break, a rest, and pursue other fields of endeavor-- although I am my VA doctors felt writing was great 'therapy' for my COMBAT PTSD. Maybe I will go back to finish my book that I started in 1995, but got side tracked and "Writer's block."

So... you will have to search for another 'whipping boy' ... LOL, and direct your hate mail else where [some of you], those of you who only know how to pull down and destroy-- but don't have the where with all to build and heal. Most of the stuff I've used or built around was pure Scripture, and other well known Christian authors, and I am not afraid to suffer for God and Christ, but I seldom hear or ever know if I am doing any good-- not that I am looking or fishing for praise. However, I must say that anyone who has read me for any length of time has no leg to stand on concerning the Gospel and Salvation, and I feel that I have done my job well in that regard. Too, most people really don't want to hear what the Bible says about our future-- Ha! -- it will be getting MUCH worse!! But the millions of people in my camp are not worried -- because the only way we learn the real truth of our future comes from the Holy Spirit, and we already KNOW where WE are going! PTL.

Now that my knees are healing better, I hope to walk up to people more and share Bible Tracts, KJV Bibles, and share the fruits of my lips in praising and sharing the Bible with people I meet in everyday life. And I can and will still write personal emails to my friends, etc.

GOOD BYE

Warm Regards,
Tom

Please let me introduce a Christian web site that a new friend suggested to me-- from Pastor John Kitchen, who hails from the great State of Ohio.

http://jkitchen.org/

What Child is this?

“And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.” (Luke 2:36-38)
“He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him”—that is the Apostle John’s commentary on the coming of Jesus Christ to earth. Do you think you would have recognized Jesus for who He was? What if He showed up (physically) this Sunday at church, would you recognize Him? The aged Anna looked upon the 40 day old Jesus and recognized Him as the promised Messiah. What does it take to live a life that recognizes Jesus?
Anna shows us that the one that recognizes Jesus is someone who is keeping life in perspective (vv.36-37a). Whether she was 84 years old (as most of our modern translations take it) or lived for 84 years after she was widowed (which would really qualify her for an AARP discount!), Anna was elderly. In the span of those years her nation and the land of Israel has seen many tumultuous changes. She had obviously survived some personal tragedies, not the least of which was the death of her husband. Yet in the midst of all that chaos and personal pain God enabled her to maintain a personal perspective on what really matters—a perspective that readied her eyes to see Christ when He came.
Anna also show us that the one who recognizes Jesus is someone who has put God in preeminence. “She never left the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers” (v.37b). Is your heart consumed with the things that are upon God’s heart? Do you hurt over what hurts Him and rejoice over what brings Him joy? Anna determined to be in constant communication with God. “Pray without ceasing” (I Thess. 5:17). That doesn’t mean you need to constantly be in church, but you do need to be in constant, conscious communion with Him.
Anna also shows us that the one who recognizes Jesus is someone through whom Christ is proclaimed. She “began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak of Him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem” (v.38b). After all she had survived as a citizen, after all she had experienced as a wife and widow, after all she had endured as a worshiper of God—meeting Jesus was enough to produce gratitude in her heart. Not a momentary “thanks,” but a continual bubbling fountain of gratitude that compelled her to tell others of Jesus.
“What Child Is This?”
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, Come, peasant, king, to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Gospel of Luke | admin | December 24, 2011 9:40 am | Comments Off

It’s Time

“Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains down righteousness upon you.” —Hosea 10:12

It’s time. It’s about time. It’s high time. It’s past time. “… it is time to seek the Lord.”

That is what Hosea told the people of Israel in His day.

Its not that they weren’t religious. Oh, they were. It’s not that they weren’t in attendance at religious services. They had that down pat. They prayed, offered sacrifices, observed the festivals and kept the commandments. They had this religion-thing down.

But, said the prophet, “… it is time to seek the Lord.”

“What do you mean?,” we might ask, as I’m sure they did as well. “I thought we were seeking the Lord! We’re doing everything we’ve been told to do!”

How? The command was simple: “Break up your fallow ground.”

Fallow ground is unplowed ground. It is ground that has been made hard by a long winter of neglect. It is ground hardened by cold, dark days of inattentiveness, packed solid by ice, snow and wind. It has been beat into a pavement-hard path by much traffic. The patter of feet, simply by traveling this way repeatedly, have rendered it incapable of producing or sustaining life. Fallow ground is hard, impenetrable, firm and confirmed in its ways.

What makes for fallow ground in my heart or in the heart of a church? Many things, but among them would be pride, presumption, past, preferences, prejudice, tradition, and opinion.

These must be turned over. The ground must be exposed. We must do more than scratch the surface, the spade must be plunged into the heart of the earth. The blade of the plow has to cut deep. It is frightening. It is painful. Most avoid it for those very reasons.

But it is full of hope! The sun is beginning to rise higher in the sky as winter passes and spring hastens. The ground having been turned and the soil having been exposed is embraced by the warmth of the sun and its life-giving rays. This is hope. There may yet be life! Life again. Life renewed. Revival.

How does one “turn over” this fallow ground? Again, the forms may be numerous. But surely it would include the sharp edge of tools such as repentance, confession of sin (to God and one another), brokenness, tears, remorse, contrition, restitution, and specific acts of humbling self before God and others.

When these things happen it might seem to be such a fresh move of God that we will want to just stay there. But we do well to remember that this would only be the beginning. This breaking up of the fallow ground only readies the soil for the seed of the Word to be planted (“He comes”). It only prepares the soil for the waters to come (“till righteousness rains down on you”). All this is so that the soil of our

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

This is one of my favorite web sites and it pretty much sums up most of my Biblical mindset and beliefs about the time we are in RIGHT NOW! Please take the time to read what I have posted, if you want to get to know me, because I eat, drink and sleep on this stuff and share it with all I know, all the time!
Does it seem ironic that in spite of all this bad news-- that millions of REAL Christians are still very happy, with love, joy, peace and sublime happiness??? I am happy and optimistic too right now-- even though I am working through some loneliness and recovery from the past year's losses, etc., of loved ones and deprivations. PRAISE THE LORD!!
   The post I wrote last night was especially profitable and encouraging to/ for me with God's promises to save all those to bend knee and confess their sins-- accepting Jesus as Savior. And since I've been writing/ blogging these past 5-6 years, I have noticed that Christians are really in the minority, being pushed and squeezed into a small camp, harassed and harried at every corner and turn!! But this MUST happen to fulfill Bible prophecy!   We know the time is very short and the "lynch pin" Israel could go to war in a heart beat-- and thus set in motion the Rapture, IMHO, and millions of other's
   Have a great day!

THE PROPHECY CLOCK RACED IN 2011
By Jan Markell
www.olivetreeviews.org
December 28, 2011

Join us on Facebook

As we exit 2011, some things are certain in this age of uncertainty. Most readers will acknowledge that the end-time clock is racing. The year started with violence as a deranged gunman shot and killed or wounded many in Arizona. One of the victims was a U.S. Congresswoman. As 2011 winds down, chaos and violence rage around the world. The 1960s are being relived as angry young people demand that world governments bow to their anti-capitalist ideas. Violence and instability are everywhere, however, and particularly in the volatile Middle East.

So what else do we see? The world is riddled with war and rumors of war. Our churches are no longer sound. True Christianity is under attack from all sides, and Christians are being marginalized as intolerant bigots. In far-away places, Christians are being slaughtered in the name of Allah. Nature seems out of control as we observe record-setting disasters everywhere. Greed and corruption are the engines that run just about everything. Israel and Jerusalem are blamed for most of the world's problems. Allow me to expand on some of these.

War is on the way in the Middle East. Muslim nations are determined to force a showdown over the future of Israel, observes Ronald Reagan's Assistant Defense Secretary Frank Gafney. He warns of a "cataclysmic regional war and it will be over the future existence of the state of Israel. It may involve all of her neighbors, as they want to drive the Jews into the sea. It may include the use of nuclear weapons."

So much for the benign purposes of the "Arab spring." Consider Egypt. Under Hosni Mubarek, Egypt was the anchor of regional stability. Now, thanks to the Muslim Brotherhood, instability emanates to all other Mideast nations from that hub. A united effort to annihilate Israel is underway.

America is assisting in that endeavor as the Obama assault on Israel continues. Secretary of State Clinton is warning that any American action towards recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel must be avoided. It might jeopardize the peace process even though that process is a joke.

Add to this litany an emboldened and ascendant China, Russia once again under the absolute control of Vladimir Putin, a Mexico free-falling into civil war with narcotic traffickers and their Hezbollah allies on our southern border, and you get a world that is fraught with peril for the United States. Isn't it obvious that we are in the midst of the Bible's predicted "perilous times"? (II Timothy 3:1) Sure, times have always been rough, but it's the convergence of events that is so intriguing at this time.

"Occupy Wall Street" is nothing to ignore. Suffice it to say that it represents the lawlessness and debauchery that characterizes our times. Don't dismiss it as a silly circus of unwashed graduate students or fossilized 1960s nostalgists who can't even formulate a coherent platform. If they could govern, we would have the ideal Leftist agenda of Marxism, Socialism, and one-worldism. It would take a super-human person to blend those elements and make it work. His name is Antichrist and he is waiting in the wings.

In late October, the Vatican called for radical reform of the world's financial systems, including the creation of a global political authority to manage the economy. Read that again. The Vatican has called for a one-world economic and political system. Untold millions of Catholics have now been told that their leadership is ok with global government. Six billion more inhabitants of Earth must be persuaded but with record-setting global and individual debt, this process will likely be easy!

Many scenarios are yet to play out. The policies of the man we elected by a wide majority just three years ago seem to be designed to confiscate the wealth of most Americans and put an end to America's super power status by eliminating what little value our currency still has. More and more experts are warning us to be prepared for the hyperinflation that's sure to come when the rest of the world decides to stop lending us the money we need to fund our deficits. Already 70% of it is coming out of thin air, courtesy of the Federal Reserve.

America is not going away but a weakened America is necessary before someone can carry the globalist football into the end zone. The one-worlders know this and the world's rabble-rousers denouncing capitalism know this. As we often say in this office, "It's all coming together." On Monday, December 26, a prominent talk show host, with an animated voice said, "We need a world leader now!" He probably had no idea what he said or what the implications are. I noticed he didn't say that we need an American leader. We need a global Mr. Fix-it. Another host calls such a man a "spooky dude." He has no clue either. Only the Bible helps us understand these mysteries and a lot of churches today consider the Bible an inconvenience. The Antichrist will be both: A 'man-with-a-plan' and a real 'spooky dude.'

Perhaps one of the most profound prophecy-related stories in 2011 is global debt. We're another year older and deeper in debt! The whole world is in debt -- not just America! I could give you the stats but your eyes would glaze over. Worry not. The 'spooky dude' will solve it!

The early church longed for Jesus' return and thus greeted each other with "Maranatha!" Imagine how simple their lifestyle was. They knew nothing of the clanging noise of concrete canyons around the world -- big cities throbbing with violence and turmoil. Still, that simple word comforted them because it promised a better world someday.

As we see 2011 leaving us, know that a better world awaits you, too! But it is not of this world. It is another dimension, another location, another time. Yet it could be here in the twinkling of an eye! The heart-cry of millions in 2011, and even more in 2012, is this wonderful word: Maranatha. Come, Lord Jesus! I'll say it over and over again. Some will get sick of it but I won't quit. It's the one word that offers hope as the world comes unglued!

Maranatha, maranatha! Keep looking up. With an eternal perspective, the headlines won't disturb you quite so much and you can focus on spreading the gospel while there is still time. And find a church that believes same!

2011-12-28T19:07:00.000-08:00

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

Here is a quick post before bed... and I must say that the Book of James has much to say about the "tongue" and how destructive in can be... James 3:6 says, "And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell." ~KJV. --But there is so much more in that 3rd chapter about the tongue! I am sharing this because I know that I am gifted in tongue, words, verbal aptitude, and consider myself a sort of 'word-smith' and always loved looking up new and old words I didn't/ don't understand yet-- and used to read the dictionary for fun! BUT, I have also hurt and beat myself so many times for using the wrong word at the wrong time!! And as my words can surely heal many-- they can also tear down and murder.... and how sad. In fact, knowledge of how and when to use the RIGHT word at the RIGHT time is so important. And perhaps there are times when we need to hold our tongues even when telling the truth-- if we don't NEED to hurt some one's feelings, at times. This is my personal opinion in the last sentence here. Because there are times when we MUST tell the truth even though it will hurt some body, like in a court of law-- but that is really a topic for another day. It takes wisdom to know the difference.

I found that lately I put my foot in my mouth at the WRONG time, and now I am trying hard to make amends... and I PROMISED myself and prayed that I gain more wisdom in this area-- but sure as shoot-- I am not there yet-- so please forgive me dear brothers and sisters, and already wounded and prob spoiled a new relationship, but will not name anyone-- except that they don't live in WI, and it's prob not the one YOU think-- lol, because I will not email this post to her. I feel bad enough about my many sins and transgressions and they have cost me some important, valuable relationships in the past, and I guess either the parties, men and women just could not forgive me-- or they used it as a means to dump me. But...[hint] most combat Vet's don't take me wrong because we speak a shared fool proof brand of military English that can only be taken one way... lol, and there are few mistakes because mistakes cost lives in the field of honor-- war and combat.

But now, if we don't know when to speak at the proper time, because of fear of men, or whatever, we also sin and fall short, and the Lord doesn't like cowards either, if you look at Rev. 21:8. And I know that the devil is using this time of my loss and misery running me around like a silly, wild ass [duh-- that's an animal, folks] and acting like a jerk [duh... that IS a man.. lol], but scripture tells me that He will NOT forsake me, and you will read below in the posted fine articles I borrowed for today. And if you read that other article about 'Is the Catholic church a Cult.' -- just my having enough courage to publish/ post this will make me a very hated man by those who don't want to learn what the Scriptures actually say!! I had a short talk with a woman from OH this evening who showed me her complete ignorance by saying that she didn't even own a Bible --didn't ever read it to any extent, but needed the money "so bad" that she sold the last and only one she had in a yard sale! [Folks-- you NEVER sell your last and only SWORD, or your best, sharpest knife!!] But what really tripped my trigger was that her ex-hubby, a Vietnam Vet, was a jerk, abuser, and a drug user-- so she automatically assumed that we ALL were, me included!! Wow! She didn't sound very bright and I had to slow down my speech to 'baby talk'... so I cut that female loose.. sorry, I wouldn't take her to a dog show, because the Judges might not know the difference... I just don't have the will or patience to teach 2nd grade English to those types... sorry again. I also learned, again, that it's also stupid to judge a woman by her looks!! Many times the most sexy, and attractive women are the worst ,most selfish, greedy, egocentric, destructive dogs who will make the rest of your life miserable! And I think there is something to that song... about 'marrying an ugly woman'... and being happy the rest of your life... lol.

I just might write a banner to be taped onto my Bible,saying: "Read the Directions First!" And that just might aid and save me from some future goof ups.

Bless my new friends, Terry Lynn, in KY, and Lisa, the good Italian cook, in IL, and many others who read my humble Blog and FC page. Please continue to pray for me, friends.

Warm Regards,
Tommy -- and here is me at age 19, at my first duty station, Cu Chi, Vietnam, in early 1968!!

Enticed Into A Cult

Q. What would become of people who were brought up in a Bible believing church but were enticed to join some cultist organizations who only pick few chapters and back up their beliefs by brainwashing methods? Can the poor people be blamed for being led wrongly?

A. If the people were saved in the Bible believing Church, the Lord will go after them and bring them back as a shepherd goes after his sheep when they wander off (Luke 15:3-7). Sometime before they die or before the rapture all believers who have gone astray will come back because the Lord promised His father He would lose none of those He’s been given (John 6:39-40).
If they rejected the way to salvation in the Bible believing Church and left without being saved, then they’re not part of the Lord’s flock and are fair game for the cults. This doesn’t mean they’re automatically condemned to hell. It only means they’re not under the Lord’s protection. They can still can ask for and receive salvation at any time in their life. All they have to do is believe they’re a sinner and that Jesus died for their sins. Then as soon as they ask Him to save them, He will (Matt. 7:7-8). Once they do that they’ll be His forever, just like the rest of us.

Love the One you're with.

James 5:12, "But above all things my breathren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other other oath:    but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay, lest ye fall into condemnation." Simple, very simple! And this is why I love the simplicity of the Bible-- there is no mistaking it, concerning the basic, most important things!! Sure, some side points or grey areas may not seem crystal clear-- but no one is going to lose any skin, life or limb over it!

I don't know exactly why, but now, after the continuous bombardment of the COMMERCIAL Holiday 'season', I feel a gentle PEACE and tranquility and I want to celebrate within the safe, guarded confines of my small, old, frame, home -- castle, in our one-horse town in WI... between Chicago and Milwaukee. I was thinking about taking a short vacation down South, but it just didn't work out, so I will just turn my full attentions to my own 50 mile radius from point 'A to B.' -- and "love the one I'm with" --in a sense. If I was on a hunt, project, mission --which is what a real man needs, to feel some self worth, things might seem different. But now that I am older, I guess my options are somewhat limited... LOL. Kind of like that Vietnam movie, "Apocalypse Now" .. the captain was itchy/ ready for a new mission, as combat soldiers [or a deer hunt] usually are. I wouldn't really know-- because in an Aviation helicopter Company, we didn't have ANY choice but to fly every single day-- month after month! !!!   But I totally respect my brothers in arms who served as grunts, and salute them!

I just have the wild, itchy feeling to 'break loose' right.. or even JUMP INTO LAKE MICHIGAN, like I did with the Kenosha, WI., Polar Bears, for five years of freezing my anatomy off!! Woo Woo!! It was so cool... and stupid...LOL! But right now, I don't have anyone close enough to go WITH me!! This crap is getting very OLD! I at least need SOMEONE TO HOLD THE CAMERA AND SHOT ME WHILE I AM IN THE ICY WATER!! Oh well... Am I saying that I need someone to have for dates or special occasions? Maybe.

What really bugs me is that some women say that they want some [selfish] relationship, and have their cake and eat it too... but are TOO DARN BUSY to have one! What a stupid mentality! Ha! What a crock!!@#$%. Yes, friends, it's a mixed up, up side down Satanic world! And my only satisfaction will be watching the totally ignorant people slip and fall on their butts, as things get worse in 2012, when they could have/ should have read the Book.

So, instead of waiting by my silly old PC or home, phone, I will just do my own thing, clean my own house and do what I please.
But, I want to keep my old friends and help them if I can. Again: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Warm Regards,

Another Amazing Find in Jerusalem

Posted: 27 Dec 2011 07:34 AM PST

By Dr. Charles Dyer The Land and the Book It seems that new archaeological discoveries from Jerusalem are being reported almost weekly. The latest find is rather fascinating. It was humorously identified by the Israeli Antiquities Authority as the original "store credit." And that's probably a good way to describe it! What they discovered was a clay seal containing two Hebrew words from

Sunny Sunday- Christmas.

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

Well, my Christmas wasn't so bad after all! After a good church meeting this morning and many greetings and well wishes, I went to see mom and the family gathering there and my brother Albert made some great food for all-- as he is the main cook in the family after his wife's stroke and loss of sight-- but even before that happened. I brought some cold root beer and some Malibu rum to share, and everything was nice and civil...PTL...lol. So then back to let the dog out, but the Packers game don't start 'till 7:20PM, so I can just kick back and relax.

I just wonder about getting another, new Verizon cell phone because mine is about 6 years old and starting to fall apart from use, wear and tear. My wife always took care of that aspect of life, even if I was happy and satisfied with my phone.. lol. Half the time I didn't hardly have to use my brain-- with her overseeing so many things-- that she enjoyed and wanted to, bless her pea-pickin' heart. Until she started getting progressively worse with her health and less mobile-- so then our roles were reversed... but I didn't mind waiting on her one bit! I only wonder IF I will EVER find another girl like her.... DARN! I suppose we ought to thank the good Lord for the rain and the dry heat in due season-- what I mean is the good- and the 'not so good' in life. We certainly don't live in a sinless paradise.... yet.

And isn't it something to meet a person who is cheery all the time and never has a bad word??? I like to rub up against such precious people so some of that happiness and cheer get on ME!!

I was walking in church today WITHOUT using my cane for a while-- just to prove a point!! Wow! This is such great incentive to me that I plan to kick my weight lifting at the Gym into high gear this week. I've got my appetite back too, but not over doing it-- and I figure that enjoying some Christmas and New Years favorites won't kill me either.

Well then...some folks are just talking about a possible EMP- [electrical magnetic pulse] device- thingy used by terrorists to mess up our communications and transportation systems/ grid in the country, and that would kind of kick us back into the 'stone age' for a while... lol. I know what you are thinking...Ha! Tom is on one of his far-fetched wild ass dreams again, or "Chicken Little" scenarios. But I am just saying, why not store some distilled water, just in case, and a few canned goods. Just some food for thought. Because a person can have lots of CASH, but he cannot eat cash, and when the stores are empty--transportation is stopped, what will happen then? Just some food for thought.

I hope you all don't get the wrong idea or think I am a sour puss, but I am really glad that the holidays are almost over now! Half of the US is considered 'not so Christian' if you want to count those who supported obama boy....because he ran on pro-abortion, pro- gay, stick the rich guys who provide all the jobs, anti- Constitution, anti-gun, anti-States rights,etc., pro-amnesty....duh, and I am NOT trying to start something today. The point being-- the half that is NOT religious is just going along with the rest of all the materialism, Liberal news, commercialism geared to make the masses feel that they NEED to get in debt so deeply, just like the Gov't... lol... and less about the Savior's birth to a Jewish virgin, and it's all so ignorant and fake, even just for one day in the year. Well, I felt that this was a 'clumsy exercise' in my writing technique, an didn't quite know how to put it without sounding like a Grinch...sorry. I am just fed up with all the "put on" fake 'good' touchy- feel-ly, phony, pretend so-called "Christmas spirit" thing, and one day latter, the world will be back at each other's throats worse than ever... and all of us ought to admit the obvious, please. Come on, folks, do we for one minute think that there will never be another rocket or mortar attack on Israel after today ??

But for today, it was a Merry Christmas for many of the fortunate, as me and my dog, Deuce, and all my friends.
There are some good things in store for me tomorrow too, I hope!! I have learned one thing for sure in life-- it's MURPHY'S LAW, and peoples' lack of honestly and accountability! "Let your Yes mean Yes-- and your no mean no."

I am so full of good, quality food today, and so is my dog, Deuce! It was a great sunny day, and God loves me!
I am hoping to get some newer pix of me to post to show a little weight loss... lol.

Today is a better day.

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

Ohhh, My! After re-reading that last post I wrote yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if every reader left me..LOL! It doesn't matter IF it's the Gospel truth... people just don't care for bad news on a dreary day! I don't know if my blog is for entertainment so much, as I think and wanted it for many other therapeutic reasons: for personal therapy, self improvement, to help spread Combat Veteran concerns about PTSD and Agent Orange... good, sound, truthful info about the corrupt, weird VA system, and encouragement from the Scriptures. Well, the last one is SURE to drive away many prospective dates...LOL. Few women now days are Conservative and 'Old School' and Bible readers/ lovers -- but they sure don't like anything that lays guilt, sin or accountability on them. Perhaps the Bible doesn't slow down my sinful nature so much-- but it shows me a way back to reconciliation with the Lord, and getting back to the good regimen/ program, and peace of mind that God loves me!! So... in that sense, I guess it does limit my sinful nature and prepares me. I guess my selfish motive has always been... "How to gain salvation/ get to heaven/ evade hell, and still have my cake and eat it too-- if that makes any sense..." And maybe that sounds kind of lame. My good buddies would just slap me up side of the face and tell me just " Straighten up and fly right !!!" My Primary Objective in this life is to get to heaven, as the Bible tells me [and millions of others] that something BIG is about to happen!! I was going to pull/ erase yesterday's post until I thought about the added Bible article regarding hell, and pure logic that piqued my interest and I so wanted to share that piece with others-- although it was kind of heavy, deep and 'dry.' -- 'not for public consumption at Christmas time'...lol Stuff like that will surely separate the men from the boys--and Believers from NON-believers, as I speculate that 95% of the public has their mind in other places... like how to buy gifts and pay the heating bill at the same time, plus keep gas in the car....duh. I have been hearing so many horror stories of homelessness, poverty, betrayal, and mean spirited people -- in contrast to the "Merry Super HAPPY" plastic, fake Christmas spirit time. Sorry folks, I just don't get a good feeling right now-- with all the hypocrisy and hatred, bombarded by constant merry music and spend a lot Christmas time!! It's just getting too old and stale. I AM happy and joyful that Christ was born and come to take away the sins of the world IF we confess Him as our personal Lord and Savior! But aside from that, all the other hoop la is nauseating for me, sorry. And right after the holidays are over-- Congress can get back to their gridlock, BS, while we all get deeper in debt, etc. So, I am tacking a different direction to help a few friends, meet others, and work on my new 'pumping iron' program to gain more strength and grow stronger in the mind/ healthier! Pumping iron and walking stimulate the circulatory system and the BRAIN, AND PUTS MORE OXYGEN IN TO THE BLOOD!!   Yes!

Today is a special day for me, but I'm not going to let the 'cat out of the bag' and run my mouth... lol. I think I may need a 2nd small blog to my elite confidants-- kind of like an "inner circle" of counselors and wise people, to bounce personal ideas off their beautiful minds...Ha! "There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors." And church for me is good and healthy, because I get to check up on all the friends and families, brothers and sisters of like Faith, and get the local news of who is sick or going in for surgery, etc. It's a Brotherhood for me, and I have several Brotherhoods that act as 'Safety Nets' and "Net working" for me, and good associations and comradeship.

So, today is one that I am looking forward to.
That cold weather outside really cuts through me and I will have to dress better, with more thought and insight, in case of a vehicle break down. I also need to re-charge my truck battery because I use the 'jig crane' winch to lower and lift my power scooter, that helps me so much when I do some serious shopping in big stores instead of standing in line forever while some woman takes her time in writing out a check for $5...and fishes thru her disorganized purse to find her mind....Ha! I often   joke with the cashier by asking them if they take CASH! But for many women [with all due respect] carrying cash means: 'Tis the season to get robbed, mugged, or murdered...' But I train women in self -defense!! If they act too prideful-- I won't teach them anything...
I feel a lot better today! Smile!   Have a great day!

Warm Regards,
Tommy Schuckman

YouTube - Sister Myotis on Thongs

I hope you enjoyed 'Sister Myotis' as much as I did. I need all the humor I can get.

For me, Christmas has always been a real struggle, because although we kids never asked for anything, we knew there was a lot of tension in the air, big time stress, worry of our parents, and everyone trying to 'force ourselves to be cosmetically, plastic, merry and nice.' We were raised Catholic, but I had a 'Crisis of Conscience' after I got home from Vietnam and no one could answer my simple questions about right and wrong, when I found out that the Gov't and organized religion were both lying to the people in a large way. So I started studying the Bible in a serious way, only to be sucked in by the JW-cult that poisoned my mind for the next 22 years and two years after that a greedy wife abandoned me when I was laid off of a good paying job at Chrysler because I wasn't making enough money.. lol. Sorry to rehash that, folks, but it was the Winter of 94-95 in Milwaukee when I believe I found the Lord, Jesus Christ, and accepted him as my personal Lord and Savior. Although I've have serious life threatening accidents after that and too many relationships, I feel that the Lord 'protected' me ever since [but also all my entire life] then, as I have been growing in many ways, and now I just feel kind of burned out at this juncture in my life, at age 62, with 2 loved ones gone out of my life, and a few good friends pounding me on the head [trying to honestly help me] so I don't completely self destruct. I WILL make it by the Grace of God, and no one else.

I [and millions of other REAL Christians] believe that right now is the 'calm before the storm', and we are in the camp waiting for the final shoe to drop before the Rapture, and life would be so much happier or easier [maybe] having the right Christian woman beside me-- but that just may not happen. God, IMHO, could even be holding that part back so as not to pollute me, or draw me away from Him, and me thinks that there are PRECIOUS FEW real Christians left who are available-- all the good ones may be taken... LOL! So, getting hooked up should NOT be my main priority, although many people at church are praying for me in that capacity. I say this because I know that many others in the world are also suffering worse than I am, homeless, deprived, hungry, sick, dying, and cold and their poor kids too. Shame, and in the land of plenty. Trust an unjust, fat, greedy, shameless Gov't to allow that to happen.

I just might go to bed early again-- feeling tired with no important thing to do or go to. And the nation is in gridlock again at this "Merry Time" rushing around spending money they don't have. I will survive-- even through my many blunders, and sins, screw ups. Winners win-- and Losers   lose.   I have a soft heart-- and my brains seem to leak out threw them... But my evil brother has been a selfish miser all this life saving every penny, and now he is poor. If we are ever asked what we did to help others-- what will we say?? And it's not just money-- it's time, effort, smiles, hugs, selfless chores, work and errands ! Did we make the most of our talents and skills?

On the other hand, some folks know how to increase, multiply, invest money and make it work for them, and others are afraid to spend only on cat food to feed themselves .. or until the wrong man gets into office to strip the rich and give to the lazy--but history tells us that won't work very long. Pity those kind of people in ancient Israel- who would not work... lol. The Law code was perfect-- given to an imperfect people--even, albeit, God's own Chosen. That is why I always loved the book of Ecclesiastes, by Solomon, the last chapter.

Well, my stuffed pork chops turned out perfect and delicious and now I feel so full. I am looking forward to tomorrow and next week, and then some rest.

Now... how do I remember, and keep in mind, a prime lesson that happened shortly after I retired in 2002, without appearing to be bitter or holding a grudge? I need to write in on paper and read it ever other time that the same circumstance comes up in the future. Or maybe I have finally learned now. Hmmmm. And if we hold a grudge on the inside-- it will come out sooner or later. "Cryptic" --hidden meaning ??... Yes, but those close to me already know the answer to the riddle. Satan sure is busy these days... and he knows that his time is short.

Warm Regards,
Tom

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

I got a lot done again today, but it seems like all I do is fill the gas tank in my truck! At least I have money to do that, while others have to work everyday and spend more. People will survive, and if they don't -- that's OK too, because it's not my job to support everyone with a hard luck story!! And I intend to be much more careful, watchful and alert from now on! I may be 'slow' but I am not a mental midget... lol. The trouble is that most folks don't know what they can eat that is more nutritious then all the junk and poisons they eat now! I will never fault of run down my parents, but my kids lived a lot better with more variety than what I ate in the 60's, but I will never complain or hurt my Mom's feelings, and loved her great cooking on the farm in Racine County, WI. We had our own orchard so we ate a lot of apple, and sometimes with some protein in them.. lol.
   Time to move on again and look forward to the future, and I see some good things on the horizon, but I intend to simmer down, smell the roses, be content with who I am, and what I have, make new friends and sail on. I keep remembering that Country song about, 'you got to go through hell before you get to heaven.' And now, with my enthusiasm, I feel 'I'm knocking on heaven's door.'

I didn't realize how I could love my old hound dog so much in the past few days as I did, from a very short one day 'vacation.' I suspect that Deuce is grieving a bit after leaving the other dogs at my brother's house, and man, he was in a grouchy mood.. but then, he has his troubles and tribulations too.

Things will run a bit different from now I think, as I put a new spin on life and let some hot air out of the balloon called my head...LOL. Thank you, Bro. Bill Tippett, for being my good friend and all your advice that was meant to clear my head and not my pocket book-- hidden meaning/ and joke... No problem, I can eat baloney for the next few months...Ha!   I am going to pick up some Riesling German table wine to go with my good munchies latter, although I don't intend to pig out too much this holiday season... Christmas and New Year's.

And you know -- some dinky dau who is STILL got an ax to grind.. or he has already lost too many brain cells from over drinking for too many years tried to send me some hate mail and newspaper clippings [after I though he's learned his lesson of being hospitalized' FORGOT that even though he printed a factitious, drunk false return address...duh... but he forgot that his main always goes thru Roanoake, VA !! I had a good laugh out of his bumbling, but I just wish he's get himself a life instead of worrying about me!! It didn't work, "WW" !!   Why don't you just worry about your own life before it escapes you, please. He doesn't believe in the wicked, corrupt computers, so he only writes 'snail mail'.. oh well.

I wonder what it will take to get my back straighten out. Opps, I forgot to plug in my scooter charger tonight, and it's low... and I am not going to break my ankles doing it in the dark of the back yard. I need to help getting last minute chores done before the snow falls.

Warm Regards,
Tom

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

I thought I would take the liberty [and sometimes I pay dearly and reap the whirl wind for taking TOO MANY 'LIBERTIES'... LOL], But I think that good news like this NEEDS to be shared to prove that God is great, kind and merciful. I realize that many of us just wonder WHY God helps the wicked [in this system] while 'allowing' the good ones to suffer, but "His ways are not our ways: and it will take thousands of years to learn all of that stuff, in heaven, me thinks.

Let me get in that I had a very busy and successful morning of pumping iron at the YMCA, but had to beat myself into moving my dead behind to drive there, got some healing herbs while in Kenosha, and then a prime rib sandwich [and the horse radish made my nose itch and tingle, but really opened up my sinuses] the West quadrant of highway 50 and I-94, and a cold drink to wash it down, felt better, then got my dear hound dog back from brother Albert at Bohner's Lake, near Burlington, and gave them some diet cherry 7-UP soda pop... trying to say, "Thanks." I don't drink that swill... lol.
     Again... WHY are people in general so bitchy, crabby, and mean spirited right now-- this time of year?? Some are down right real mean and nasty!! I am in a good mood, although bone tired and aching from lifting weights, and using Nautilus machines at the Gym, whirl pool, sauna, and visiting some good old friends, etc. I get into some great, deep, friendly discussions with guys I've have know for many years, and now we all get together at the Spa and work out/ sweat! Good for us!! Woo Woo....LOL!! But the driving and GRIDLOCK on the road! Whoosh! Give me a break, please.

I found out last night that I missed my hound dog so much and thought I heard him moving about at night, and so used to checking where he is and letting him out side to make sure he has the opportunity to 'mark the back yard, and do his thing.' Now I understand how people get so used to and love their pets!! I thought that I was different, but come to realize that I am an old 'softie' too.

So... well, the post below from Krissy Knox shows that for what ever reason, and I don't know the percentages of success-- but her dear hubby is 'cured' or in remission, and I am glad and happy for them-- because they went through hell a few times. We can all comment and be glad for them too... and it's not that hard or complicated to post a comment on some one's blog, you know, or I hope you know. Just deal with it!
    Why is it that trained soldiers, especially those who were and are in combat, can figure out ways to IMPROVISE, ADAPT, AND OVERCOME all obstacles---but candy ass, ignorant, sissy civilians are afraid to break a sweat, raise a blister, or push their small, pathetic, rotted out, degenerate pea brain minds more than an inch???? Duh? What a sorry world of cowards, wimps, lazy, bums, and poor excuses for men, we have here.....shame. But when combat Veterans come home from war and battle, they get shafted by their own Gov't, VA and dumped on by the public in general. Why don't they get a LITTLE bit of help retraining or some points to land decent paying jobs and skills, fighting for OUR freedom??? OK, Tommy boy, time to stop beating the 'dead horse.' Don't make wave, Old Soldier Tom...

Common Sense Rules For Studying The Bible

Posted:

Q. As a somewhat baby Christian there is something I do not understand. I have read many examples of persons who have spent years in Bible study over a particular topic, and believe they have been led by the Holy Spirit to discern the meaning of the passage. Yet, another person studies the same passage [...]

At one time I thought I knew a lot about 'The Law' and I still keep the U.S. Constitution on my PC tower of power for quick reference. But every day it seems like more Bible prophecies are coming to light/ seeing fulfillment, exposed by the light of day for all understanding Believers to see, share, write about, and Blog about! There are a few great Bible study groups on FaceBook that really dive into, discuss, and share with other interested souls, and make things abundantly clear all the stuff I am talking about today-- and I can and will direct you all to these sites, if you like. I also just found a great health solutions, herbs place that could really help some of my aches and pains this cold Winter, in Wisconsin!!    My email: tschuckman@aol.com
   When I share things like this and uncover the truth, it makes me feel good inside, and I feel certain that I am helping to do the Lord's work. I cut and pasted an article from the Milwaukee area about a surge in crime and violence-- but is 'season- connected', and it sure seems like there is A LOT of mean spirited, sour, hostility around Christmas time!! And watch out for people breaking into your cars, robberies and hold ups at this 'CHEERY TIME OF THE YEAR... HO HO HO!

I know that I get 'side-tracked' from time to time, but the Holy Spirit gets me back on track to pump out more biblical ideas and reasons to by JOYFUL, THANKFUL, HAPPY, full of Peace, etc., in a time that normally makes people sour, depressed, mean spirited and nasty. I even sent an email to one of my many Vietnam Vet friends, Jimmy Hood, A GREAT HELICOPTER CREW CHIEF/ GUNNER over in 'Nam, expressing this viewpoint today, who lives in the great State of South Carolina, who also sent me a classic KJV study Bible that I left up North with a close friend named, Karen L. But I fear that her stingy company is working her to death for mere peanuts, and if she falls down and dies from total exhaustion, they will probably fire her, after she is so sick and cannot be of service to them anymore.... And that is the newest wave in corporate America now days... 'work 'em 'till they drop, and then cart them out on a forklift truck on a wooden pallet, and dump them somewhere, when they need their health insurance the most! Hey--I've seen it all, putting over 30 years in at Chrysler, and then other places too. And the worthless "welfare mama's" reap all the benefits-- when they COULD/ SHOULD be working, but they found a loop hole that permits them to suck on the public breast where the other 50% still work and provide, because she is probable the 4th generation of welfare recipients-- and please don't get me started on what the Illegal Aliens do too... lol. We can't continue doing this folks!!! There is about 6000 years of human history to support this idea, and it's no an opinion, it's fact! And I just happen to be a history buff, and well studied Bible student, and more! Of course, friends, I MUST give all the glory and credit to the Holy Spirit-- for my knowledge and understanding.

I just like helping out hard working folks... IF I can, but I don't mind supporting special loved ones. Of course, I feel, it's my sacred DUTY, which is also found in the Scriptures, to support our spouses and families and parents. Some day, and I hope soon, I will have another person to support, care for, love, admire, and pledge my love, heart and service...and that will make Old Soldier Tom very happy, until the Rapture comes. And why not help to teach someone you care for, more about the Word, The Book, the Bible, when we can plainly see and hear the Master coming?? And that person can teach and share the Gospel with others, and others, all to the glory of God. I pray that I am NOT counting my chickens befoe they hatch-- too soon, but I also believe that I am doing the right thing by helping a fellow Christian.

I well know that Satan, the devil can and will try hard to throw fear, anxiety, mistrust and panic into the mix, but giving a person new faith, trust, and positive proof of what the Father wants for us, can shield all that negative stuff out, because nothing beats the Holy Spirit. Remember, Samson, didn't need to work out at the local YMCA to get strong-- it was the Holy Spirit who gave him all that raw power!! Woo-Woo! Who can beat us if God is with us?? And it's not a tall, wide leap of faith, brothers and sisters. Actually, lack of faith is a real sin! Paul said, [Hebrews 11:1] "Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." I think that we all need to memorize this, so we may share it to others. And the rest of that 11th chapter of Hebrews is talking about major characters of the Bible doing extraordinary things with/ through Faith. And Jesus told His followers that they could 'move mountains if only they had Faith-- the size of a mustard seed!' I feel that IF we are doing the right thing, for the right cause, God will see us through it. And if it doesn't work out the way we would like it-- probably God didn't want it to happen anyway.

I AM man of my word, if it's at all physically, possible and within reason, because of my [number one:] Faith, but there are also SOME inherent genes involved, the way I was raised, the way I was trained in the Army, combat, and other things. With 62 years of experience, hard work, schooling, special friends who have taught and mentored me, etc., I pretty much can figure things out and plan what, where, when and how I will do things and accomplish them. Winners win-- and Losers lose. Unbelievers are losers, IMHO.

Does a spouse or partner really get away with some sin or evil, stealing, cheating, tricking, working ill, hurt or damage unto another person, wife or spouse. I have been on the receiving end of evil, lying, deceit, abandonment, divorce, etc., and lost just about everything a few times, and managed to rebuild my self, with/ by the Grace of God. And I have been a great sinner, jerk, and still feel regret, shame, remorse, for many sins that I have committed. But with genuine repentance, a sinner can turn around, correct, heal, be redeemed, and even get SAVED through the merits of Jesus' ransom blood sacrifice... and just look what King David did to another man's wife, and then he had the husband murdered to boot!! Yet, he was forgiven, although he paid a huge price for his 'misadventures.'    If we can learn from our mistakes and make the necessary 'adjustments' by learning to serve and please the Lord, we will be happy, joyful and succeed in the long run... and making it to heaven has got to be the BIGGEST Victory a man or woman can achieve!

I try hard to live by what I say, in this simple, humble Blog, and I am just not "smart" enough to sin, do crime, and get away with it... lol. So, it makes good sense to me to just 'fall in line' with the Lord's demands,and wise counsel, and it's not all that bad serving in the Lord's Army. And we will certainly HAVE more money if we don't drink [get drunk], smoke, gamble and squander on stupid, immoral things of the world. Paul also said, 'having food and shelter, we shall be content.'

I request that all my readers find it in their hearts to pray for me to have wisdom, love, patience, and compassion... and also for a special, dear friend of mine, who is having a lot of physical, emotional, and traumatic challenges right now. Thank you very much.

Warm Regards,
Tommy
