I am glad I forced myself to sit on the picnic table today after noon to get some sun rays, and now at 7:13 PM, the air temp is still 93 degrees, and tomorrow will be 90!!  My truck is showing the engine light's on, again, but I am too close to the surgery time to have it looked at right now.  

I woke up this morning with the most painful right arm and shoulder, and I attribute it to a crook in my back, but there are no chiropractors in the area that I trust anymore...  I could very well instruct someone to massage my back the correct way to push back the 'subluxation' [vertebrae out of alignment] to relieve my pain, but I need to go in for more Pre-Op tests at KMH in the morning.  I also try to cut down and eliminate most problems before something BIG coming down the pike by "thinking ahead" with fore sight and plans--keeping a list and checking it twice.  But we always have Murphy's Law, just like last time I had the right knee done/ replaced, my power scooter went dead on the last leg to the VA hospital.  Everything in the world went wrong on that disaster, but then-- I learned so much about my 'fellow human beings...' in that traumatic episode... LOL.  Old Tom, age 62, doesn't allow the same 'mistakes' to happen a 2nd time.  If you are not hitting your target, you might have to adjust your aim!  No dead beats, goof offs or losers this time around,  and if I don't wake up from the surgeon's table-- that's fine too.  "No Worries, Mate!"  

I get a lot out of my long conversations with my Army buddies, like Robin Hood, from SC.  He fills in many gaps that I forgot in the past--Vietnam.  But he is also my brother in Christ, and that's a two-edged sword for me!  We were talking about Agent Orange which our benevolent Gov't dropped near us in Vietnam-- thank you very much, and then tried to deny it for many years...Ha!  Jimmy wondered how come I didn't have diabetes-- when I was right where our Gov't dumped most of the Agent Orange chemical defoliant- in the 'Iron Triangle.'  All the long years we 'put up', swallowed, fought with, contended with, survived, developed an immunity with, and just plum accepted-- those who are left from our number all these years.  For those of us who have accepted Jesus, we believe He had a special plan for us-- to help spread the Gospel, win souls, and magnify God's holy name, among other things, still sinners that we all are.   

Reading the Bible and sharing it now days, means more than it ever has to me-- being alone now, and having brushed with death too much lately.  I am thinking that God may be saving me from myself [and others] for keeping me single right now, lonely as I am, because the sands of time are fleeting ever so fast-- rushing toward the very End-- time on earth for the Saved ones-- the Church in general.  So the Lord may be guarding us from greedy, godless people who are hungry for a good Chrysler pension or sugar daddy... even if he is disabled... lol.  I guess that is just one more stress I can do without.

Well, I committed a major sin today-- I ate a sandwich to soothe the pain in my tum tum-- as I was Fasting.  Trouble is:  I need to stay on this 'diet' - actually a life style.   

Warm Regards,
Tom

   

Bible Believers a Threat to our Security?

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

Wow!  It's like my dear wife's death-- we knew it was coming, but it was still a shot to the heart shock when it did come!   I am talking about our Nat'l Security in America, Identifying Bible Believers as a Threat!  Duh... do you think that more Americans will finally wake up now and pull their heads out of the sand??

Now that obama and most of the Congress have by-passed our Constitution and common sense, along with George Soros and other big $$$ power players-- we Christian Believers, IMHO, are treading on thin ice.  And of course this also means that our SALVATION is near too!  Well, all I can say is that the Holy Spirit has been helping me, an old, poor, disabled, sinner man in Wisconsin, and I feel fairly good about myself right now-- right on track of where I want to/ need to be.  Philippians 1: 21, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."  There is still much pain that I have been holding back/ compartmentalizing in a special place in my mind regarding Sharon, and the loss of her close relationship-- but Sharon is in heaven and out of harm's way, in glory, peace and wonderment!  The rest of us are still in the heat of the battle on earth as it spins out of control with Satan at the helm.   Protect us, Oh Lord of the Bible!  

It's been a hard trick for me to achieve-- not relying on self-- but on the Holy Spirit, casting off all my stupid pride and arrogance.  I used to think about 40 years ago that all those hypocrites with their noses in the Bible 24/7, but now I understand that they were "feeding themselves" with the Word of God, putting on their armor, getting ready for battle.  The un-believers are attempting to wage war with only shower thongs and a light, green twig off a tree.   

Thank all my dear friends on FaceBook for all their incredible encouragement!  I 'borrow' stuff that I see on FB to use in my blog posts.
I had to see the new doctor today for 'Pre-Op' and blood draws, etc.  Seems like I meet many believers there too.  

NTEB: US Military Now Identifies Bible Believers As Threat To Nat'l Security

DON'T EVER SAY THAT YOU WERE NOT WARNED!!  And our American Gov't has not only been watching these groups and people [a little bit] -- [Homeland Security is a joke!]  But the WH has probably winked at their progress...

It always pays to 'BE PREPARED', and have your Glock .45 next to your Scofield  KJV Study Bible, and a few extra clips of ammo near by.  Fill an old sauerkraut jar with quarters and dimes, and a fire proof safe with some silver and gold along with your important documents, etc., and a "Cold Steel" knife or two.  

And IF we get Raptured up before the 'Big Storm', sooner than later.... who cares???  I heard that the streets in heaven are paved with gold.

I got some sun on my back after church while reading the Book and munching on fresh Bing cherries today.  They have Manganese [the cherries] to help the arthritis flow away.  I went to my "old" church in Kenosha, Victory B.C., today, and decided that some of the old people I knew still have the 'fire' and Spirit.. but by in large, it seems kind of dead  [lack of Spirit and too few people] there...and someone don't know how to regulate the AC in that church...Ha! .. sorry, but if they are that 'cash strapped', they could shut it down after those 2 short hours or SS and Worship.  And it just so happened that the pastor was out on vacation when I visited there at VBC today.  Well, visiting thee today changed my mind in a heart beat of ever moving back there... sorry.  There are plenty of good churches in Kenosha, but that would NOT be my preference-- as I know I would not get any real support there as a disabled man.    Good thing I did a 'recon mission' there, however, and gave an old trusted Marine--Disabled Vietnam Vet., [who is dying from COPD, emphysema] who also worked with me on the line-- Chrysler, ---my old DEFINED KJV Bible, and a $50 bill to take his wife out for a good dinner.   I fear that he might die before me-- always in and out of the hospital.  Love, brother Marvin Ellis, POOR GUY-- he's just SKIN AND BONE!!  He was wounded in action over in RVN, and also has arthritis in his knees.  We are/ were both good welders and both play guitar-- used to 'jam together' -- having so much in common.

So, in that sense, the trip to VBC was worth it!  Hot and humid today in S.E. Wisconsin, but I am not complaining!  Lord, thank you for the warm sun and another day of life! 

Beware-- the American Muslims are buying more automatic guns lately!  Do you think for a moment that they care about the 'Law ?!?'

Warm Regards,

New Al Qaeda Video: American Muslims Should Buy Guns, Start Shooting People

In a new video message released on the internet Friday, American-born al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn calls on Muslims living in America to carry out deadly one-man terrorist acts using fully automatic weapons purchased at gun shows, and to target major institutions and public figures.

Milwaukee Priests Abuse Case.

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

When I was a young boy I attended grade school at Sacred Heart of Jesus- Catholic school, on Kinnickinic, St. Francis [Milwaukee] Wisconsin... which was right across the street from St. John's school for the Deaf.  

Unfortunately,  the ONLY thing that gets the perpetrator's attention IS the loss of money/ stiff punishment/ fines in court-- even the Catholic church that turns it's head away and buries the truth, when it comes to sexual abuse by it's priests, must learn this way-- as they have only transferred their guilty priests to other parishes, so they could do more mischief...[kind of like our present Gov't/ Administration does to it's Czars and henchmen, when they get caught... lol].  Other Faiths/ Protestants, etc., also have their sexual abuse problems, but me thinks NOT AS WIDE SPREAD as the Catholic church-- always managing to get itself in the news papers.  Hey, we are all sinners but those in leadership positions are held more accountable, as the Bible alludes to.  If they would by repent, cease and desist from practicing child abuse-- I am sure that the Lord would forgive...  

Most of my extended family are Catholics, so I want to tread softly so as not to 'wound them.'  I was emotionally upset after coming home from Vietnam [combat -PTSD], in 1970, and looking for the real Truth when the JW-Cult grabbed me for 22 years and messed up my home life, etc., but now I KNOW the Truth from the Bible, and am SAVED by the blood of Jesus Christ, still a sinner, however, learned to take accountability for my actions, and repent,  but I know that my Lord and Savior promises are as good as gold.  One good way that I can witness to all the readers is my own humble Blog:  TOM'S JOURNAL, and also by my humble Bible Tract, Inc. work, ministry of sorts-- see: WVCY Radio, 107.7 FM- Milwaukee, Mark Smith, for free tracts!  

Also asking for your prayers to guild the surgeon's knife and saw, on June 14th, for the other knee replacement-- very bad arthritis.  I hate surgery-- but sometimes it must be done.  Thank you all.

WAUWATOSA - Minnesota attorney Jeff Anderson is taking on the Vatican with his client, Terry Kohut.

Kohut, who now lives in Illinois, is the alleged victim named as John Doe on the lawsuit filing. He claims Pope Benedict, in a former role as a cardinal, knew about abuse at St. John's School for the Deaf in Milwaukee and did not thing to intervene.

"I am speaking for most of the survivors, for all of the survivors all over the world," Kohut told TODAY'S TMJ4 reporter Tom Murray through a sign language interpreter. "I told my sins to Father Murphy and he told me that I had to go to his office. So, I did go to his office and Father Murphy told me to take off my pants."

Anderson held a clergy abuse forum at a Wauwatosa hotel on Saturday.

"The Archdiocese of Milwaukee and the problems and the cover up in it is the worst of, as bad as any place in the entire country," Anderson said.

Anderson says he is also representing more than 100 people with clergy abuse claims against the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Because of bankruptcy protections, there will soon be a time when courts will allow no more abuse lawsuits against the archdiocese. Archbishop Jerome Listecki emphasized that looming deadline when he announced the bankruptcy filing in January.

"We're talking about bankruptcy through the aspect of closure," Listecki said in an interview at the time.

TODAY'S TMJ4 asked Anderson if he is in Wisconsin seeking more clients to sue the Archdiocese of Milwaukee before the court closes the door.

"It's our legal and moral obligation to reach them and let them know that something more can be done," Anderson responded.

A deadline has not been set for filing lawsuits, but a federal judge is expected to determine that date soon.

Friends,
I find it almost incredible how the Prez-- that tenant in the WH, sneaks around us and goes to the G-8 Summit in France to stab Israel in the back some more by trying to gain support from the other G-8 nations to force the 1967 borders upon Israel !!  That boy is really hell-bent on destroying not only our once great country, the USA, but also the only real Democracy in the Middle East!!   Does he think that he is so smart so as to deceive US back at home?  And Thank God for Canada, who saved Israel's back side at that same meeting!!  I would not be surprised if Canada prospers big time now... lol.  Hmmm, am I up to a long drive UP NORTH for an extended vacation?  I've been there before, after I got out of the Army-- what a wild ride back in 1971 for a few days.  They seem just like us, except that they seem to have better manners.

And the eerie words of Peter about the 'end times' 'scoffers of God's Word' mentioned below gave me chills up my spine too.  Good stuff!  It all serves as another great encouragement for me, and strengthens my Faith and resolve.  I was just thinking that just maybe GOD has a plan for me at the hospital in witnessing [again] to some of the staff while I am there!  Looks like I am be stocking up and packing more Bible Tracts in my bag, beside my copy of the Old Scofield KJV.   I'll be loaded for bear, mate.  Another thing is the news that Fiat might own Chrysler pretty soon, and who knows how that might shift our contract and benefits around.   Maybe it's a smart thing to have my knee fixed NOW when there is still good health coverage.  Shhh!  Don't tell anyone...   We ought to be prepared as the 'hard times' come rolling by-- don't want to be caught between a rock and a hard place.  PTL.. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for all our blessings, but especially the Spirit that allows we Christians to understand the Bible.

The Upper Room Discourse and the Rapture

Posted: 03 Jun 2011 02:43 PM PDT

By Dr. Thomas Ice Pre-Trib Research Center Recently I have thought a great deal about the significance that the rapture was first revealed by Christ the night before His crucifixion in John 13—16, in a message often called "The Upper Room Discourse." Christ's farewell discourse is only found in John's Gospel. If Christ's "high priestly prayer" in John 17 is included, this section of John's

No Apologies-round 2.

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

The following post is from my friend and Christian sister in FL, Carolyn Elkins.  She must do a lot of deep research because she is spot on all the time!  I love the finer points in her recent post, like:  the relationship/ ratio [of land mass, and  area] between all the Arab countries that surround Israel compared to Israel.  The land of the Jews is a mere postage stamp compared to the  great land masses of her violent neighbors, yet all the heathen nations have abandoned her and even curse Israel!  What a shame-- what a horrible danger the nations have put themselves in, according to Gen. 12:3.  We can pray for the People of Israel, although their future is sealed in the divine words of the Bible-- God's own Word.  We can also email/ phone our do-nothing Congress to do anything political that might help Israel...  but the 'die is cast already' and we know exactly what will/ must happen all the way into the new Mill ilium of Paradise on earth -- after God cleanses the earth of all wickedness.  We certainly want to be in heaven when that happens.. lol.  It won't be pretty.

As for me, another fine, sunny day in S.E. Wisconsin!  Per my Fast -- abstention from eating food, I know from before that it certainly changes my body and mind.  Remember, Fasting can be very dangerous IF you don't do your homework and research that subject BEFORE you attempt it.  Drinking lots of water is KEY to not damaging your kidneys, and you want to irrigate your organs to pass toxins.  Now my face is breaking out because the poisons are being flushed out, and I get dizzy and can't think straight sometimes... lol. I do take a few vitamins and minerals/ herbs.   You just need to slow down, rest and move nice and slow, with purpose and measure.    I will post something about Fasting soon to help folks know about it more-- But to protect myself from all liability, I have to say that one should never attempt this unless they talk to their doctor or health care professional FIRST!  [But in reality, I would bet that most doctors rarely know or care about fasting because they can't make any money from it.] 

I have tons of food at home, in the freezer, canned goods, etc., and I want to be 'balanced' -- and in this world balance is rare as we are buffeted from one extreme to the other-- too fat or too skinny with all the stupid Hollywood and Media hype--Baloney.  So, when in doubt--READ THE BOOK-- the Bible!  Having said that, I already FEEL the positive results of being able to walk a bit better, fit into some clothes better and fastening my truck seat belt better... Ha!  But both my knees are shot, and the VA did a very poor job with my Right knee, IMO!  They crippled me, thank you very much, and there is nothing I can do to them because they ARE the Gov't.  Hello, obama-care !!!  You people will have NO recourse when the Gov't botches up YOU-- in the future obama-care!  Think:  Russia and China!!  Yes!  I just pity the foolish, lazy, ignorant Americans who don't look to the real, proper news sources [and the Bible] who tell the real truth about the world and the lies the leadership tells us!  The Socialists already own us!  They have us so busy chasing our tails with the poor economy, barely making ends meet-- as they slip more Gov't rules and regs under the table--some that could regulate the very food that we can eat.  The ignorant masses always lose on earth-- but the Spirit -led class store up their treasures in Heaven!

Warm Regards,
Tom  ---
