How little we actually KNOW.

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

I like to 'mark' places, times, events and things learned with some sort of 'marker' that will serve as a 'link' to summon up that nugget of research/ wisdom so that it's easy to organize in my own mind, and thus share it with others in a easy way that makes sense.  Teaching tools.  Things learned, especially from hard ship, hurt and tragedy.   Never let a good lesson go without some sort of marker!   I wanted this last hospital visit to mean something to me as a 'training tool' --and pain is a good way to help stimulate one's memory.  If we just let pain come and go without assigning it some value or reason or meaning-- then it's lost and without benefit!  I did just that [marked something] the other day when reading a piece from Exodus 15:23, and a great footnote from my Old KJV  Scofield Bible yesterday, that tied into Romans 5:3-4.  Let us say and understand that many things that God "allows" us to experience are not necessarily punitive-- but EDUCATORY [meant for our teaching/ instruction]!  If we spend the money on 'fine tools' [Scofield Study Bibles], why not learn how to get the most out of them??  And then why not SHARE these juicy tidbits with others who want and need to hear them??  As I have said before... few things are brought into our lives that can't be used as a good teaching objective lesson that we can benefit from.  Even sickness, hurt and pain-- as from hospital visits-- so I've learned that important thing too this past week [along with all the suffering, etc] can be used to help us train and learn.  Ask yourselves, "How can I turn this adversity around and figure out the 'silver lining' or golden nugget, with in and benefit from it somehow-- make use of the time at hand, instead of just languishing in a sometimes 'hostile' environment of egotistical unbelievers?"  And don't forget to pray just for something like this to help us learn!   And we OUGHT to be witnessing the Gospel to others at every opportunity too while in the hospital-- if possible, and that means putting up with some of the smug, goofy staff with long suffering-- one of the  fruits of the Spirit-- Eph. 5:22, if possible.  {Smile}.   And these are some of the things that I work on daily, also praying for/ asking the Father.

The article below is packed with important ways to understand where we are right now in the main stream of time!  I am again reassured that my time frame is on target, and things are popping just as they should. Thank you all for your many prayers.  I figure I lost about 45 pounds in the past 3 weeks, but now need to get  into a more 'balanced' diet to insure my rapid healing of tissue now, and I also need to build up my immunity to fight off any more infections.  I try to build myself UP BEFORE I go to a hospital to ward off all manner of diseases and infections-- as hospitals are actually cess- pools of filth!!  Sorry... folks.

With all the killer storms, earthquakes, wars and disease dominating our news, it's not surprising that recent studies indicate a ballooning interest in End Times Prophecy. What is surprising is how little most Christians actually know about it.

Escape from the Hospital.

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

I escaped from KMH-Kenosha Hospital again, and I am really beginning to hate it there because it represents the loss of my FREEDOM in more ways than one...  Call me what you will, but I love to study things, and people [in light of what the scriptures point out-- as fact, and wisdom].  The Bible tells me what a Christian should be and how to strive towards such a goal as a child of God, Soldier of Christ, and the Bible also tells us how/ why unbelievers are so full of themselves, so proud, arrogant, and vain, greedy and lusting for power to dominate others all the time and lord it over-- and what a filthy, ratty, bag of holes! 'Man has dominated man-- to his injury!'   This also includes a certain class of doctors who abuse their limited spectrum of "power" over others/ patients, with many in the medical profession who want the 'common masses' to THINK that medicine is a 'finite, absolute science' when it is NOT!  Many doctors have a hard time finding the humility to admit that they DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING, and they make mistakes,  but prefer to BS their way around a subject so as not to appear ignorant in front of their patients when they don't know the real answer or cause to something, such as a disease, sickness, ailment, infection, etc!!  They may even try to make the patient feel as if he/ she is somehow culpable for the injury!  In fact, they don't like a smart client/ patient!  A 'low grade' staph infection may not even be the culprit that the docs wanted it to be in the final analysis in my case this past week, but now they think the problem may be 'psoriatic arthritis' or some other things... so they used a "shot gun"b approach -- mixed treatment on me to "wing it."  

One doctor had so little respect for me that he woke me out of a sound sleep two nights in a row at 10:30 and 11:00 PM instead of coming at regular working hours [claimed he was "too busy"]!  I strongly corrected him last night.  I will not be abused!  And this is why you need a GOOD POA [power of attorney], and  patient advocate, who is not too lazy or undependable.  Then again, sometimes the doctors don't want people to "know too much" so they can cover things up and not be accountable.  I fired one GP last week.

I am home again now, and aim to stay home this time.  I may speak more on this latter.
I am so tired-- after finally eating some REAL Nourishing Food a few minutes ago!!  Wow!  I am also afraid to blow my own nose for fear of bleeding to death for all the Rat Poison the hospital was forcing into my veins this past week [Cumatin, and Warfarin]!  "Better living through Chemistry."   --Ha!

Q. Can a person’s unbelief in the deity of Christ damn him if He also believes whole heartedly that the sacrifice of Christ, is man kinds only hope of heaven? I have a friend who doesn’t think so but I think his conclusions on the subject put him on thin ground theologically and dangerous ground [...]
