Foreword in German:
Hallo Freunde,
einer meiner Liebsten 1545 Bibel Schriften aus dem Buch von John, ist: "Frieden hinterlasse ich euch, meinen Frieden gebe ich euch; nicht, wie die Welt gibt, gebe ich an Sie. Euer Herz erschrecke nicht und fürchte sich nicht." - - - Johannes 14:27.
Für was auch immer mal vor, dass wir einst studierte diese Schriften finden, wir freuen uns, sie wieder zu Verstand zu bringen, wie sie uns Trost und Freude geben! Denn ich bin der festen Überzeugung, dass wir alle benötigen, die Quelle der Stärke sehr bald! In meinem Alter von 68 Jahren, ich habe noch nie solchen weltlichen Hass, Kampf, Kampf, sinnlose Töten gesehen haben, meistens aus den Händen des verrückten Islamische Horden und meist illegale Ausländer [und anderen Linken Menschen Flügel', '------- jetzt über unsere nationalen Grenzen schleichen.
Doch bevor die eigentliche Brandbekämpfung beginnt, ich glaube, dass der Vater Gott wird Seine Entrückung segnete die Gläubigen und seines Sohnes Anhänger. Das wird nur eine kleinere Zahl, eine Minderheit, aber in die Millionen, aber sicherlich nicht Milliarden von Menschen. Ich habe stark versucht, viele andere Menschen in dieser Zahl - um zu helfen - aber ich bin vor allem mit mir selbst besorgt.... es tut uns Leid. Lächeln.

Hello Friends,
As I was 'patrolling' my incoming emails and messages today, THIS subject gave me pause for a number of reasons.... one of which was/ is, I have a few tattoos on my Left Shoulder. We can always say, that we were 'young and foolish' when we got a particular tattoo, or some other cop out. But, we are 'stuck with it,' unless we take some drastic measures to have it removed.
Frankly, I am NOT ashamed of my Ink! But they could very well get me killed now days, and especially in various countries, even though I do not plan to go traveling any more --- being too old, tired and disabled. I am an older man, age 68, living among many good, protective men and women who generally love and care for me, and I also have the proper CCW permit to carry legal firearms on my person, etc., and live in a safe, relatively crime free area in the Northern USA..... BUT THE TIME MAY WELL BE COMING, when our failing Society might crumble and fall to outside forces and enemies of the State. And the KJV Bible backs me up in what I say, right here and now, too. However, we are admonished many times in the Bible to NOT BE AFRAID !
The book of John, Chapter 14, Verse 27b, says, "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." I just asked my lovely wife to be, to please write that scripture down, so she could oft remind ME of it, too. Smile.
I have a scary feeling that we ALL will NEED to bring these important scriptures back to mind when we really need them, folks ! And so we are preparing for those hard, dangerous time, today -- right now. I challenge all my friends and readers to do the same. Just invest some MONEY $$$ today and buy a nice thick spiral Notebook to write down special and important phone numbers and places to find important things and places, also some recipes and Scriptures, for that distinct purpose, and I will bet you will thank me forever.
Just like right now, we are trying to get a jump on buying some real deals on a few extra gasoline cans to store some extra gas, Kerosene, canning jars, and Winter supplies, NOW ! And, of course the price of gas just shot up already !! Right ! That Hurricane in Texas is now affecting us all, even in the far North of the USA ! Plus, I am also going to make a point to get to know my close neighbors who surround me soon, too. Let's just say that I now have a sneaky feeling in my gut, and bones, that something COULD very well affect all of us in the USA, late this year, or early next year: 2018. And as I many times relate, at my older age of 68, also a History and Bible serious student and Buff ---- I have never noticed so much hatred, tension, and aggressiveness in America, and against a LEGALLY ELLECTED -- POTUS, as right now, in 2017 !! !! There is also more deep State crime, disorder, corruption, LIES, theft, and also devil worship than any time before ! ! Be worried, Be prepared, Be 'On Guard,' dear Brothers in Christ.
So, what I am saying that relates to tattoos, the Patriotic and Christian symbols and writing on my Left shoulder and upper arm do make me a target for Islamic and Left Wing marauders and the criminal element. But a swift, clean, death doesn't much bother me at all, and would certainly remove me from my present world of Pain and Agony. But I will never take my own life.
I hope you all have a good, happy, godly, safe, day !
Warm Regards,
Thomas G Schuckman

Sacred Ink: What Does the Bible Say About Tattoos?
0 0 0 62 63

One of the greatest aspects of the Bible is that it contains everything necessary for life and godliness. God was gracious to inspire a Book that would stand the test of time. Unfortunately, however, things get tricky when it comes to applying the timeless principles of Scripture to aspects of modern life that may not be directly addressed in the Word of God. Take for instance tattoos. What does the Bible actually say about tattoos?
Answer: not much. In other words, nowhere in Scripture does God directly forbid Christians from getting tattoos.
What about Leviticus 19:28?
One verse that is often used to defend the idea that God forbids tattoos is Leviticus 19:28, which says, “You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord.”
Three quick points to consider before using this verse to argue against tattoos–
First, the book of Leviticus primarily exists to list the rules for Jewish worship within the Old Covenant. Believers today are not bound by Levitical Law since Christ came to fulfill the law’s demands.
Second, it would be inconsistent to apply only certain parts of the Levitical law (such as not getting tattoos) while ignoring other parts (such as trimming beards or wearing multiple types of material at one time).
Third, at the time this verse was written, Jews were cutting their bodies as a means of appeasing pagan gods associated with death. Scholars believe this verse directly forbid them from pagan, morbid rituals. Unless a Christian is getting a tattoo to appease a pagan god, it’s difficult to say this verse applies to the situation.
Bottom line: Picking and choosing which parts of Old Testament Law should be dogmatically followed by believers today while ignoring other parts is a dangerous mission.
Important considerations before getting a tattoo
While it is difficult to argue that tattoos are sinful or forbidden by God, it is not difficult to offer some cautionary thoughts to the Believer who would consider getting one (or five). Here are 2 quick considerations.
First, in 1 Peter 3, Paul cautions believers from caring too much about appearance. “Do not let your adorning be external–the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear–but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.” Certainly he is not arguing for a lack of adorning (as he certainly wouldn’t want people running naked!) but he is asking Christians to put the emphasis on internal adorning as opposed to external. It is difficult (though perhaps not impossible) to make the case that tattoos improve internal vs. external adorning in any way.
Second, wisdom begs certain questions to be asked. Will the person getting the tattoo want that same word or picture on his or her body in 50 years? What is the motivation for getting the tattoo? Will that tattoo distract or prohibit ministry or relationship? Does that tattoo create offense? (Though Christians cannot be overly concerned with creating offense where obedience to God is concerned, we certainly do not need to make unnecessary choices that could offend.)
And arguing that a tattoo is a good idea simply because God doesn’t directly forbid it is not a good argument at the end of the day.
Bottom line: the Bible doesn’t forbid tattoos, but wisdom would raise a flag of caution.
One final thought
Current trends have encouraged believers to choose a Christian word or phrase that publicly identifies them as a child of God. And on the surface, this sounds like a good idea, and to some degree, it is! It is always the right decision to identify with Christ. Yet John 13:35 offers a better way when it says, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Yes, a Christian can get a tattoo and show love to his neighbor, but jumping on the Christian tattoo bandwagon while not making Christian love a high priority would seem to be a strange contradiction in choices. So for the believer who would choose to pursue a Christian message or symbol in the name of identifying with Christ, love better be evident in big ways in everyday life or the reasoning is merely an excuse to get inked.

Mainstream media trying to discourage women from using licorice root extract, saying it “interferes” with all the toxic medications they’re supposed to swallow

Women who are hoping to find some relief from menopause have long turned to licorice root extract. The root, which has an unmistakable flavor, is rich in bioflavonoids, tannins, calcium, and isoflavonoids. Its digestive benefits will be familiar to many people, but some people might be surprised to learn that the phytoestrogens it contains have a mild estrogenic effect. This effect, combined with its antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, gives it the ability to ease the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome as well as menopause and the mood swings, hot flashes and exhaustion that come with it.
Studies have shown that a daily dose of this extract can slash hot flashes by as much as 80 percent, and it can also slow the rate of bone thinning that strikes many women of menopausal age. With so many benefits and so few potential side effects, it is ideal for women who do not want to turn to medications to find relief during this uncomfortable time. Another common menopause treatment, hormone therapy, raises a woman’s risk of breast cancer and stroke.
Of course, those who make medications and hormone therapies have a lot to lose as people start turning to herbs, which is why anti-herb propaganda rears its ugly head from time to time. Eating excessive amounts of licorice can indeed be harmful, but researchers set out to discover if the small amounts found in dietary supplements could also be risky.
While they didn’t find that it was particularly dangerous on its own, they decided to play up their discovery that it could interfere with the metabolism or transportation of the drugs people take, causing them to be processed either too slowly or too quickly.
The team of researchers from the University of Illinois said that taking a daily licorice root extract supplement along with other types of medication could pose a significant risk. They found that the North American Glycyrrhiza uralensis and the G. inflata species were more likely to have this interfering effect than the Erpean G. glabra species, although they pointed out that many supplements fail to list the species on their label.
Of course, it’s a moot point for many of the people who take licorice root extract as they tend to be those who eschew conventional medication in the first place. Licorice root has been used in traditional Chinese medicines and ancient Egyptian teas, and it remains popular today because many people find it to be effective.
Other natural ways to deal with menopause
There are plenty of other natural treatments that can help relieve menopausal symptoms. For example, black cohosh can help regulate hormones thanks to its plant-based estrogen. It can bring relief to menopause symptoms like moodiness, itching, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and depression.Another good choice is ginseng, which helps to relieve the insomnia, hot flashes and moodiness that many menopausal women contend with. Wild yam, meanwhile, can help regulate hormones like progesterone, which controls moods.
There are also some useful food remedies that can help. The phytoestrogens found in foods like flax seeds and sesame seeds can help counteract the vaginal dryness and hot flashes of menopause. Siberian rhubarb has been shown in studies to reduce the severity of night sweats and hot flashes as effectively as small doses of estrogen can.
Yoga has also proven helpful to many menopausal women thanks to its ability to reduce stress and blood pressure, alleviate pain, and ease joint problems.
It might take a bit of trial and error to find the combination that works best for you, but many women find that they can get through menopause without turning to toxic pills or risky hormone therapy.
