I Marvel.

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

I just marvel...   How powerful and mighty MY GOD is, and all His promises come true-- in His good time, and never late!  

     l marvel.  That God does hear the prayers of the righteous -- and the sinners who are humble and repentant who surrender their hearts and minds to Christ and confess Him as Lord and Savior.  And yes, this does take guts and courage in this un-believing world that we live in-- 7-13-11, July.   But soldiers of Christ are NOT cowards!
    I asked the Lord to take away my taste for different items and put the ladies 'on hold',  if not forever-- because the Lord will be coming back soon to Rapture up His saints and believers.   I sure don't need any other distractions-- but if some one special comes my way-- well we will just have to wait and see.   Let us put 'first things first' and get our priorities straight, please!  My new mantra is:  "Strip off the extra, heavy WEIGHT in our life, so that we can run the race unencumbered and without extra burden!"  I can't help but remember all the things I learned in High School Track and Field, at Waterford HS, WI., from some great instructors/ teachers.  How to work the legs and feet and arms, with correct 'form' and strategy and attitude.  Taking humble, average guys with the hearts of champions!   I did the high hurdles, pole vault, and half mile run- [and the 880 relay sometimes].  Everything I learned in my teen years helped me to work and survive the coming battles and traumas/ tribulations... and I believe that my parents raised me right too.  Of course... "IF" I was raised with the Bible as my guild-- perhaps things could have turned out differently.   But I am Saved and know where I am going-- and what could be better than that??!  Christ died for the sinners in the world and technically, ANYONE who accepts the Lord's supreme sacrifice and confesses that fact with his lips-- will be Saved.  2nd Peter 2:9, says:  "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserved the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished."  So when people tell me that they just CANNOT do something, like stop/ quit practicing an 'unclean habit', I tell them a little of my own personal history and past-- having a few demons to crush and throw away-- with the help of God [Holy Spirit, especially].   If you need some personal help with a problem, you can contact me privately, and I will try my best to help and encourage:  tschuckman@aol.com

But it makes sense [doesn't it?] to 'slim down' in many aspects, and cast off many possessions that we just don't use or need, so that we can "bug out" in a heart beat, if and when that time comes, dear brothers and sisters.  Why have a heart attack or stroke over something material / or carnal-- and we ought to know that this nasty economic storm is coming-- dear friends.  Hold on to what is dear and necessary/ Holy,  to survive-- like all the wisdom of the Bible, and an intense love for Christ!    And that's the way I see it, on this fine, warm July day in Wisconsin.  I need to hang around for my Physical Therapy lady to come over and make me do 'tricks'  -- but I wanted to take the dog with me if i go out to eat or buy some chicken today.  I ate some fruit for breakfast, but now I am getting hungry!  Grrrrr.  

Cordially,
Tommy Schuckman      

Is it any wonder-- Muslim Brotherhood?

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

Is it any wonder... duh?  Most of us knew all along who and what the Muslim Brotherhood were --even in the early part of the Egypt uprising months ago!  And just what manner or kind of "democracy" would come from a 'grass roots' org like that 'Brotherhood' in that part of the world, huh?   Was it going to be a Paul Revere thing like ours in 1775--- and how the media played things up, as usual... lol.  

Again, friends, all things understood, fore told, according to the scriptures, we are on the same page and everything is going along according to Hoyle-- as real, biblical literate Christians still stand unwaveringly good soldiers of Christ-- still expecting things to fall into place... "let your kingdom come and your will be done, on earth as they are in heaven..." ~Matt. 6:9.  We firmly expect the Rapture to be right on time, come hell or high water, come economic melt down, countries going bankrupt, etc.  

We should be happy with full knowledge that God will protect us for the most part [in America], as we continue to serve Him-- sharing the Gospel with everyone we are able to, one way or another.  Most of my relatives just continue to live in the rat race of survival, trying to hold on to what they've got.   I suggest that they hunker down and lower their life style to where they don't have to kill themselves by taking on more work and over time to "maintain" their high quality of life, expensive houses, etc.  "Having food and sustenance we shall be content."   Many Christians will also come under Satanic temptation of keeping up with the Jones's, but why should they?  Actually, I would like to sell my house and move closer to a mid- sized city in the burbs, but that may be close to impossible with the dead house sales and economy now-- so I will just be content and play it by ear.  

My nephew, Billy Schuckman, brought my hound dog back this morning, and I am very happy to have some much needed company again at home!  After a good meal, my dog, Deuce, is sleeping in peace, very contently.  I feel well enough to take care of him now.   
We again had some powerful storms race through our WI area last night and early this morning, but I don't see much power outage near me.  I figure that it will be a long, hot Summer, and looking forward to getting some welcome sun on my back, and playing with Deuce in the back yard.

Posted: 05 Jul 2011 08:47 AM PDT

By Ryan Jones Israel Today US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the weekend publicly announced the Obama Administration's desire to reestablish ties with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.The Brotherhood responded this week by thanking Clinton, and issuing its first demand of its new American friends: drop support for the "Zionist regime."In an email response quoted by Bloomberg, Muslim

Sunday and Free so Speak.

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

Hello Friends,
I am so happy to report that everything seems to be going better for me today.  I woke up as I normally do and took my 'morning meds' and then laid down for a bit listening to my fav. Bible/ Christian information and music radio station, WVCY 107.7 FM- Milwaukee,  but fell back asleep and was late for church... lol.  I am getting around with only ONE cane right now, but taking it easy so as not to re-injure myself.  I am trying to eat more a more  balanced fresh fruit and veggies type of diet but also some meat for protein to help heal tissue from surgery about one month ago-- 6-14-11, and all is well, PTL [Praise the Lord!].  

I will be getting my noble hound dog, Deuce, back soon from my brother, Albert, and that will help provide some quality companionship for me too, plus force me to move around more and play with him and brush his coat outside.  I miss my guardian dog boy and what a friend!

I can't complain about too much, and who wants to hear that baloney anyway.  PT [Physical Therapy]  and a new RN from a different company-- farmed out by my surgeon, will be here at my house tomorrow to supervise my progress for a while, and I will try hard to co-operate with them.  I know that it's for my own good, and that is how they make their money...$$$ as a follow up 're-hab' treatment for patients who have knee surgery, like me.  

Many folks from church told me that they thought I lost a lot of weight, and I did, about 50 pounds, but I will work even harder to lose more... about another 100 pounds this Summer, so I can be more mobile and do more for myself... if possible.  But I still have a serious back problem that needs to be addressed, and the Right knee surgery that was messed up by the 'friendly' Milwaukee VA is still a draw back, and maybe I will just have to live with it.  One step at a time-- and I will take any better progress report that I can get now and down the road-- as other folks have it much worse than I do-- and I am still alive.

The time that we  [Believers] all have now before what the Bible describes as the 'Great Tribulation' is short, IMHO, and I feel that this time should be well spent on preparation of the mind, heart and relationship with the Lord who is our only salvation-- 'cramped and narrow is the road leading to everlasting life' with the Lord.  Sorry folks,  I refuse to put my trust in mankind and their lying, puny presumptions, theories, plans, that man can somehow figure a way out of our worldly and national mess-- and economic disasters.  You may ask then, "Why is Tom such a happy, joyful guy with all this economic bad news blaring at us on TV constantly??"  It's because I [and all other REAL, Spirit anointed, well read, literate in Bible Christians] KNOW what is to happen!!  It's no big secret, but the majority of people on earth refuse to bend knee and submit to  the Lord Jesus Christ, but instead  prefer to continue putting THEIR trust and faith in their GOVERNMENTS!  Christians are not making war or threatening any one or country.  All we want to do is to reach the small part of society that loves and respects the God of the Bible-- who put faith in the Truth of the Bible!  We pay out taxes, work hard, serve in the military and are responsible, productive members of society.  Other than that, I don't think we are too different than other people.  And we figure that if others have a conscience, belief system, depend on the U.S. Constitution as a good law code to live by in this day and age, and able to voice our opinions-- so can we!   I respect our Constitution and wish others would too, instead of trying to circumvent the Law of the land and promote their own personal agenda of a 'One World Gov't.' 

I am just much more happy today with a little less pain and anxiety, and so my out look on life in general is more colorful and joyful!  Now I can visit others in the hospital and bring them gifts of fruit,etc, and try to make THEM feel better.  Time to 'give back' and spread some cheer, if it's OK to you good people.  Time to make new friends and visit old ones and broaden my horizons.  Pay my bills, save some money if possible and live on less as we all weather the storm of unemployment and rising costs of food, energy, taxes, and gasoline.  Thank all of my friends for all they have done for me these past 4 weeks as I was in and out of that hospital -- 'place of mercy' -- also the place of many needle pricks/ sticks, procedures, tests, and sub- standard "food", death and dying older people, suffering and despair, misery, pain, etc...   And I honestly think that personally, I would much rather die in my own bed surrounded by loved ones, less stressful, and in an environment that is actually more sanitary with less death dealing infections, germs and hurtful things !   Amen.  That's just my personal view point as a free man in a relatively free country, while I still have the freedom to say things like that. 
Have a great, safe day!

Warm Regards,
Tom Schuckman

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
