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.

Seven Things You Have To Know To Understand End Times Prophecy Part 1

Posted:

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!

Denying The Deity Of Jesus

Posted:

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 [...]

Back to the Future-- Hospital, again.

July 5th, 2011

Friends,
I was putting some hopes in the new antibiotic meds I got yesterday, delivered by my friend, also my POA, Bill Tippett, from IL, but I woke up again this morning to find most of my joints and tendons swollen, hurtful and some almost useless!  I certainly believe now that the infection/ poison has 'traveled' to other parts of my body and adversely affected it.  I already called the KMH- Hospital and doctor/ surgeon --that I need to come in ASAP, and Bill T., is taking me in my own truck so I can use my power scooter there.   Got to call the post office to stop mail for  short time, again, too.  Thanks, also, to Patrick Busler, a friend from church, for cutting and trimming my lawn yesterday, after the july 4th parade down Main Street.
    I am posting this news so you won't wonder why or if I fell off the edge of the world...lol., and I miss all your messages, FB, emails and comments dearly.  I just can't understand why my body has not healed yet!!  All I know is that hospitals harbor many nasty germs that hide in the cracks of the buildings, and cause many deaths every year-- but you don't hear about them much in the news.  Usually, I am a very fast, strong healer and bounce back from all sorts of nasty accidents and surgeries.   Maybe all the added stress of losing loved ones has sapped some of my immunity.  I MUST rely on the Holy Spirit to renew my strength, for sure.  the fact is:  I know that I cannot continue taking care of myself as the joint pain gets worse, and I am afraid that this new 'sickness' may spread and do even more damage.

When we strip away all the earthly glitter, achievements, so-called worldly education and wealth/ treasure-- we are still poor, pathetic humans and have nothing to brag about before God.  All of us OUGHT to be going to hell, but we are SAVED by Grace thru Christ's bloody/ sanguinary sacrifice on the cross 2000 years ago in Israel.  All my smart, well studied friends all over the earth understand that Israel will soon be the 'focal point' again with huge events that will certainly CHANGE THE WORLD!  Those events will trigger and set into motion a number of things--- one being the rapture.  Last time I was in the hospital trying to rid myself of the post-op knee infection, a few doctors and RN's 'sniffed' at the 'Rapture idea' and just though I was another religious  nut job, but many other listened, and I also handed out a number of bible tracts. I don't let small pebbles in the road stop my progress of sharing the Gospel-- or what kind of Christian Soldier would I be??  The Bible reassures me repeatedly, that all of God's prophecies either have come true, or will come true, because 'GOD CANNOT LIE !'   ~Titus 1:2.


Right now in the USA we are experiencing some 'mild resistance' to the Gospel-- when in Asia, and Middle East, China, etc., Christian soldiers are dying for their beliefs almost ever day!  There is NO room for cowards in God's army.  All our training comes from that great inspired Book, the Bible.  See:  2nd Timothy 3:16.


There are millions of heathen martyrs who die and blow themselves up for their Muslim beliefs, taking the innocent lives of by standers-- 'collateral damage.'  Are Christians afraid of just SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST in a respectful, kind, social way in the USA-- Land of the Free--Home of the Brave ??  Are we mice or men?


Push on dear Christian brothers and sisters in the Lord!  


I hope the hospital staff and docs will be able to drive out the poisons/ infections from my body THIS TIME. Please pray again for me, my friends and family.  Here is a pic of my Mom and I at her 50th wedding anniversary about 1997.

Warm Regards,
 Tom Schuckman

Happy 4th of July-- 2011.

Happy 4th of July!!

I just want to say hey to all my friends and readers on this day-- 4th of July-- that used to be very special to most Americans in the historical sense-- and still is to most Veterans, IMO.  I am waiting for the small parade that goes down in front of my front door every year at this time, and watch it from my front steps.

I have a new health problem that I would like to share with you...  starting yesterday.  Seems like a painful type of joint pain, swollen, restrictive tendinitis near the shoulders, wrist, ankle and elbows has over taken me all of a sudden!  I can barely type or walk again!  Could it possibly been that some infection, poison seeped into those joints to make them almost paralyzed and hurtful?  I might go to the hospital or doctor tomorrow to get them checked out... and my ribs hurt too.

I hope you all have a good, safe holiday!

Windy Weather right after I escaped.

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

Now remember that I 'escaped' from the Kenosha hospital that very Thursday afternoon and drove myself home!!  But maybe I shouldn't make everything so personal.... lol.  Some of the hospital staff's rejection and dissing of God's Word, the Bible when I was there sharing the Gospel just comes with the territory.

Back Again, from the Hospital.

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

Happy to be back home again for the 2nd time after knee surgery infection complications!!  The range of intense anti-biotics to drive away the common knee infection was murder on my gut, but I will survive.  And again, for the record, most of the doctors and staff were very nice and professional-- but there will ALWAYS be a few jerks who don't have a life and love to push their limited so-called "power" around in their tiny 'kingdoms.'  I am not going to comment about those circumstances because they are only small fish in the creek, and the Lord will take care of them in the long run.   I also found out that reporting any incidences to the hospital social worker wonk just goes through the 'good old boys' routine and goes no where.  If I wanted to make trouble-- I certainly could, but I have bigger 'fish to fry' and am moving too fast to let Satan slow me down now.

I would still say that with all the baloney-- picking this hospital and top surgeon was the smartest thing I ever did-- and far reveals the huge gaps of consideration and professionalism of a GOOD civilian hospital like KMH-- and the messed up Milwaukee VA who botched up my Right knee on Dec. 6th!!  But right now with the fast deteriorating US and world economies and oncoming war between Israel and her waring Islamic neighbors-- one has to weigh these more important matters before consideration of a 'redress' of the botched Milwaukee VA surgery on my Right knee.   The better done Left knee done at KMH- Kenosha Hospital is so fast healing to where there is already LESS PAIN than the other messed up Right knee!!  I feel better for 'listening to the Holy Spirit' and just moving on.  I am also still somewhat happy with my modest weight loss so far, and will continue the strict diet that my daughter, Sarah, has given me.  Many thanks to my mom who was there for me in spirit-- and on the phone for encouragement.  Other than Mom, and Bill Tippett as my POA and Patient Advocate, I just had my small KJV Bible [sword] and constant prayers to the Father to sustain me.  

Now I have a dirty messed up house to contend with, but deep sleep is the best medicine for me now, along with my special healing herbs and Colloidal Silver.  

Please pray for my special friends:  Robby Bohnen,carrying a heavy load right now,  Marvin Ellis, who is near death with COPD, IMO,  my Mom, Colleen Schuckman, my sister in law who is losing her sight after her stroke and diabetes, etc. Bill Tippett, who has done a good job even with his own infirmaries and difficulties, etc.  Infection is nothing you mess with and could potentially take the limb or joint that the docs worked so hard to give me quality of motion and less pain in replacement.  Radical conditions call for radical procedures, and I honestly tried my best to comply with every command and wish of Dr. James Shapiro this past week back in the 'joint'-- KMH.  I can see great improvement every single day, just getting good rest and exercise... but they want me to eat more protein and vitamin C to heal my wounds.   I will have some pix to down load soon.  At least I had a private, comfortable room with A/C, and the institutional food was almost as good as our food in Vietnam...  I got home to more great DEFINED KJV Bibles that I ordered, with some more 'hardware' -investments.   Busy tomorrow with much business and phone calls.  Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes.  This has been the "Year of Tests."  And yes, Christ will get us though it too.

However I did notice some hostility and resentment/ prejudice against the simple sight of my small Bible in the room, if not overt-- but co-vert, subtle under current of animosity and aggression!  Just a pre-cursor of 'things to come' here in Socialist Amerika. And just for my OWN peace of mind-- I WAS RIGHT AND CORRECT for sticking to my guns again, this time around, in the hospital-- and the doctors and staff are NOT so almighty and correct all the time, as they would love everyone to think!  Ha!  I feel empowered-- and you can never go wrong with the absolute TRUTH of the Bible!  Remember that one thing, please.  It's not about ME being right-- it's about God who cannot lie!  ~Titus 1:2.
 
Warm Regards,
