Trouble in Paradise-- Woodstock.

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

I was the hero again today, Sunday, when I brought in fresh strawberries and pumpkin pie, plus some Popeye's chicken to Sharon. But after that she told me that she wanted me to explain some things with her head nurse in that ward. Seems like she and her nice room mate, Helen, were transferred to a long term, larger room in a different wing, to make room for newer patients in the 'short term' wing. But the old story in America is that companies and hospitals lay off staff and expect the remaining nurses and aids pull the extra load, for the same pay! And we can honestly assume that things will get MUCH worse as our economy gets worse. Welcome to reality, America! Sorry...

The shortage of hired help is NOT our concern, and we pay through our insurance companies, an arm and a leg, to make sure our loved ones get the right kind of care. Well, Sharon, wanted me to tell the staff, through the head nurse that she asked for help in getting up, cleaned, dressed, bathed, etc., but no body assisted her. She has good days and bad days-- her heart and lungs are shot and her spine is pinched so that she has little or no feeling in her legs. YES! SHE IS DYING, just as her smart, honest doctor told her and I not too long ago! But now we need that same doctor to write a statement proving/ certifying that she needs that extra care, according to the RN. Sharon can only walk and exercise on her "good days." The RN got a bit testy, and even tried to humiliate my wife in front of me by saying that Sharon wet her bed last night! Shameful! If my wife was healthy enough why would she even be in that place?? I will have to report her for that thoughtless, comment. You can take this any way you like, but I will not tolerate any abuse toward my wife. And I can ask other patients there what THEY think about this business... and I will, as they like and respect me-- and I am getting a feel for that place and those patients who enjoy my company. Woodstock Rehab and Nursing facility always did have a bad reputation in the past-- even since I lived and worked in Kenosha, WI., some 35 years ago at AMC/ Chrysler, etc.... and I was wondering when the 'boogie man' would pop up. I ought to research what the BBB-- Better Business people say about it, or what ever entity. I've already got some good comments from friends on FB.

I know that many hospitals and nursing homes don't like people who make waves, and they like to keep the patients over drugged to make sure they are mute, sedated, docile. I told Sharon that I would bring a small digital tape recorder to keep better records of conversations-- plus her written diary. Sharon is afraid that if she comes home, she will lose control and fall down again-- breaking more bones. Sharon has not complained about her place up until now. I really feel sorry for disabled people who MUST be in nursing homes-- and there are good homes and bad, of course. I am not the sort who deserts his loved ones, and I know my Bible based duty as a husband. Folks, YOU would want a good soldier in your corner as a "patient advocate" if you were forced to stay in a nursing home or hospital. The VA hospitals used to be terrible until the VIETNAM VETERANS pushed and sacrificed for better services and clean up-- but the 'newest, younger warriors are having to go thru all that BS again, from Iraq and Afghanistan! We older Vets don't forget things like the peeling paint, filth and rats at Walter Reed Hosp. near D.C., and other places. I am not looking forward to my 'short stay' when I have knee surgery either... but maybe the Lord is sending me there for a special reason.


I read today that the Prime Minister of Israel might be hinting at a Pre-empted attack against Iran as they are growing closer to gaining Nuke weapons. I may be wrong, but other Bible students and I think that the Rapture can't be far off after that soon coming war in the Middle East, and that suits me just fine! I have to scratch my head when some so-called 'Christians' tell me that they are NOT ready for the Rapture! Ha! Me-thinks that we ought to be ready every day and night for Jesus to collect His saints and believers. Why do I give away free Bibles and tracts where ever I go all the time? Why do I bare witness and share the
Gospel to every hearing ear-- plus in my blog posts?? The Holy Spirit drives me to carry out this command, and He puts the correct words in my mouth... PTL! This divine commission gives me a reason for living and it feels so good to 'give something back' and help others with the most important assignment in the world.

Well, I need to make another list of things to get accomplished before I have to go to the hospital in 2 weeks, and enlist some friends to remove the snow on my front wide walk, etc., and collect my mail. I am so happy that Joe vander Mullen and his wife, Doris, are taking care of my noble Rottweiler in a few weeks.

Warm Regards,

The Black Horse.

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

Hi Friends,
Looks like my past blog posts were not incorrect. BEHOLD THE BLACK HORSE, from Revelation sounds ominous and scary, but it's all logical and happened before in the world, but not on the grand scale we read about here and now. Coming from a German-American back ground and being raised on a farm in Wisconsin taught us to plan ahead and stock up of commodities, plus butcher our own live stock, and hunt/ fish. The goofy city slickers still think that milk comes from a paper cartoon... lol. 'And a country boy can survive!'

|Now, even though the 'main Storm' will carry the blunt of disaster AFTER the Rapture, we can clearly see things lining up with 'preparations', and the foolish, destructive leadership from the WH and Congress are hastening the inevitable coming crash. There are plenty of good reliable references to aid our understand in this post. Listen, friends, the bottom line is: God's Will must be done... period! If people still want to live in denial, it won't hurt me one bit, because I know that
God love me, and though His Son, Jesus, I am going to heaven! If I don't die before-- I will be Raptured! The long, well written article only lends more information on HOW things will come about, and just how shaky things are already, and WHY. You all can keep on believing the LIES of the WH and Congress, or put all our faith and trust in God's faithful Word, the Bible. Personally, I just can't understand how anyone who CLAIMS to be a Christian would goof around still dancing in the world of Satan, instead of taking an ACTIVE part in God's work of sharing the Gospel. And if you say that you are too busy making a living-- just wait and see what's right around the corner. You will be looking back at Nov. 2010 as the "Good Old Days" of fun and prosperity!!
For me, reading and sharing articles and stuff like this make me feel good and strengthen me! Seems to me that families might band together to support one another with finances and help-- the good old way when America had real honor and morals.

The Hal Lindsey Report.

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

If some of you were reading my blog posts 2 years ago about the coming HYPER-inflation, predicted in the book of Revelation, etc., Bible, we Christians believed it alright, but we didn't know that Prez Obama and the Federal Reserve would be the main reason things were going down hill so fast. It's so nice to be right-- but we accept the proof of God's Word to cement things shut. And who would have thought that the USA would turn on it's long time friend and ally, Israel!? At least Bush was friendly and respectful to Israel. Proverbs 3:5, has to be my credo-- to keep my mind clear -- on the prize of heaven and Christ. I can only repeat that when world events seem darkest-- Christians who are biblically knowledgeable and |Spirit filled, ought not to fear and quake as the unbelievers, agnostics and atheists of the world/ friends of Satan do. The most precious thing I own is my close relationship with Jesus Christ, and I can't help but share this fact with everyone I know and meet!! I was very upset about shelling out $700 for new brakes and repair today, but at least the Lord gave me the credit and funds to pay for it. Better to pay and repair the truck now before the snow and ice-- and possible a tragic accident!

Splendid article again on the bottom of this post! I also need to share the web site of Brannon Howse, and you can listen to his talks over the InterNet--on-line, or on Christian radio, 1PM, WVCY America, 107.7 FM.

Sharon is still feeling under the weather today and out of breath, with poor circulation in her numb legs, and dizzy. I told her I will bring her some fresh strawberries Sunday after church when I visit her.

I remember one Christmas when I was prob about age 8 in Milwaukee, when my Dad's car just quit and needed a valve job, etc., and our Christmas was very lean, but we kids didn't seem to mind-- and we were well mannered and never asked for anything. My Dad also had ulcers and worried a lot, so I tried to stay out of his way and behaved myself, but I could feel his pain and worry. I suffered some loss too when my auto factory--AMC/ Chrysler closed down and laid off 6000 people in one day, but somehow I continued to find work as a welder, etc. Bottom line, we are still RICH in America, and spoiled, so far. But I never once doubted [after I found the Lord] that a true servant of the Lord, a Believer, would somehow survive if he/ she understood what the Bible taught. I don't have a Cristal ball [that's demoniac] -- but the Bible is: "God talking to US!" God's Word is a 'shining light to my path.' A good, Bible preaching/ teaching church is where a person can be built up, encouraged, fortified and healed, IMHO. But if there are no good churches near you-- the InterNet is filled with encouraging blogs and Christians. My door and heart is always open to those who love Jesus and are serious about deep, intense, Bible study and comradeship.

This Week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'

By Hal Lindsey The Hal Lindsey Report Last week I reported on an article by Caroline Glick, the associate editor of The Jerusalem Post. She postulated that since President Obama had lost control of the domestic economic agenda by losing control of the House of Representatives, he would turn his attention to the one thing he still controls almost absolutely: foreign policy. The Israelis fear that

Fed's 'War on Wealth.'

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

Now remember that I used to be a Registered Rep. with PFS Investments, licensed in Securities, and read many books on finance... also a History buff, so when I read about the Federal Reserve doing such outlandish things-- I KNOW that our national and international economy will be destroyed! You know folks-- do the research yourself by working with your PC or going to the library! You don't need a goofy degree to figure out wealth or staying a float! The USA COULD do other things to stop the bleeding debt without hiking up the taxes-- but they just will not do it!! The "man behind the curtain" is pulling all the strings with the devil whispering in his ear. Economics is not that hard to figure out-- it's a lot like figuring out your own check book. The same goes for understanding the Bible, which is written on a 5th grade level, but if you don't have the Holy Spirit, you won't get it.

I had another rotten day with everything going wrong--- but I will continue to live and work things out somehow. I kept hearing some strange sound coming from my front end-- wheels, so I took the truck to have the oil changed but asked them to check out my tires and brakes, and sure enough, the rotors were shot, kaput, and grinding badly. So I took the truck to a pro-shop that deals with brakes and they estimated that the tie rods were bad too and the whole bill would be $700! My son could have done the brakes for me, but since the tie rods were damaged, I let the shop do the deed, but it still hurts. The truck is only 3 years old and I don't abuse it, so I just wonder what made them wear out so soon. I call this baloney, "Murphy's Law."

In the mean time, my wife and I are still looking for all the paper work for all the many bills, income, expenditures that are needed to file for WI State Title 19, and I had to pay the nursing home $425 this morning for Sharon to stay there the rest of this month.
Hey! I am used to dodging 12 arrows at once and dealing with disaster where others would have a nervous break down-- but I grow weary of shelling out all the money that I don't have. I will just have to lay low for a long time and spend less. And Sharon will just have to deal with the food they serve her at the nursing home instead of ordering out when she get finicky-- but I can still bring her fresh fruit when I visit.

I am going to drive extra careful from now on too and avoid the pot holes to save my truck from further damage-- although my son told me that driving should not hurt a tough truck. The brake shop has a good reputation, but I knew they were going to be high in price... some way, some how. I never trusted Sears either. So... what next?

I got to witness and share the Gospel with 2 women today and held their attention pretty good. And a number of people thanked me for my military service today. I came home and made more hamburgers on the grill, and the dog stole one while I was using the bath room... bad dog! My son, came to pick me up from the brake shop to take me home, and I really love his new car! I could really use a vacation, and have not had one for the last 5 years.


Regards,

Tom

Our Struggles with Title 19.

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

I encourage everyone to check out BRANNON HOWSE on Christian radio every day, plus visit his fine Blog/ Journal. He doesn't mince any words but goes straight for the TRUTH of the Bible! See his web site below >>>

My wife asked me to take her home today so she could collect all the papers that the WI State Title 19 people want-- to enable her to remain at the Woodstock Nursing Home facility. She was very weak today, could not walk far, short of breath, tired, fatigued and stressed out. We found most of the paper work including everything about my [ours] personal finances, income, house payments and utilities, etc. I thought it was very invasive, but my Mom said that there are many welfare/ services frauds and cheats these days that the State finally wants to clean up. They want to take about 90% of Sharon's SSDI income, leaving her about $45/ month for spending.... Wow! She is pretty much very dependent of other people to care for her, and in her power chair most of the time, so I would be nothing more than a care giver if she was to live home with me, even though I care for her very much and visit her all the time-- but I WOULD DO JUST THAT IF I HAD TO. Like I said before, the last generation took care of their elderly parents at home, but we -- this generation has become a very selfish society, and our "love" has grown cold. It also takes 2 pay checks to live now days, so who is home to watch the grandparents?

Brannon Howse said today that Satan is using the Emergent Church and unbelievers to infiltrate the REAL Christian Church and pollute it/ water down the true Gospel of |Jesus Christ, and it all makes sense. He said that most of the Seminaries and Bible colleges are already corrupted with false doctrine! The Southern Baptists are a good example of how infiltration and corruption has made them wanting/ unfit to teach the people. This means that honest Christians might want to avoid most Bible colleges and seminaries and just study the Bible intently on their own to become the next generations pastors and preachers. See: 2nd Timothy 3:16... "All scripture is given by inspiration of god, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works." But read the whole, short book of 2nd Timothy because it tells exactly what, why and when these "perilous times shall come" -- like right now! And although I don't agree with Glenn Beck's religious beliefs-- he does a great job of explaining who the rich man, George Soros, is manipulating the USA and other nations into bankruptcy and controlling all the unrest and dangers in many facets of world economies! What is happening in England right now WILL ALSO HAPPEN IN THE USA!

You will find that many of George Soros organizations are actually working to collapse America and other countries, and he even calls himself GOD! Don't believe me-- do your own home work!
I the end, of course, we need to stay as close to true Bible study and understanding as humanly possible, and seek out other REAL Bible loving Christians to make sure that they are not fake. You can't go wrong with the Bible, but you need the Holy Spirit to unlock the wisdom and meaning of that Book. I have to follow my own advice too.

Brannon Howse: March 9
Topic: Barack Obama is Destroying Our Economy on Purpose. Description: A pair of radical Columbia University professors by the name of Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven wrote an article in the radical magazine known as The Nation. The article was published on May 2, 1966 and laid out what is now known as the "Cloward-Piven Strategy". The plan calls for the destruction of capitalism in America by swelling the welfare rolls to the point of collapsing our economy and then implementing socialism by nationalizing many private institutions. Cloward and Piven studied Saul Alinsky just like Hillary Clinton and President Obama. Listen as Brannon and his guest James Simpson explain how Cloward and Piven inspired the creation of ACORN that Obama worked for as a community organizer. This interview must be e-mailed all over the country. Americans must awaken and understand the goal of these radicals and what is to come if they succeed. Time is of the essence. Obama is not over his head as some have claimed; he knows exactly what he is doing. Understand the Cloward-Piven Strategy, the rules of Saul Alinsky and their Cultural Marxist worldview and you will understand that what is occurring is not by mistake.

The Perils of Sharon.


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

It's funny [or not too funny] that all the years I worked in Union shops, like AMC/ Chrysler, Nestle Company, etc., the contracts were written in 'legalese' so that the membership could hardly understand it. I will have to do the research on my own retirement 'package' contract to see just what I have [left]-- but when we retired we were a bit rushed to sign so many papers and just get the heck out of that polluted auto factory! After 30 years most people had a belly full of it, even if we left many friends behind, many limped out of the gate every day as the 'walking wounded' with serious injuries that we had to work with every day. A few dozen workers died of a special HP pneumonia caused from leaking coolant and lubricants that kept the big machines running every day, and there was actually a fine mist in the air that we all breathed in, but most of us developed an immunity to that corrupt environment and survived. The company, of course jacked the dying and dead workers' families around and for the most part denied them the benefits, etc. It's just amazing what when down in that big powerful company and union, but I was happy to have a descent paying job to pay the bills, and bought 2 houses while I was working.

After I left visiting my wife today [and took Deuce the Rotty with me] and finally got home, the nursing home called me and had a speaker phone set up with various in house financial people listening and explaining Sharon's status-- and she was there too. Seems like Chrysler Humana only covers the cost of the Home if she needs physical therapy, etc., and WI Title 19 only works if the doctors and staff can prove [persuade] the State, that she NEEDS to stay there. We need long term care for a totally disabled spouse! Because of this circumstance-- I will be required to pay some $400/ month for her to continue her stay, but they are still slugging it out and weighing all the other factors, plus it's hard to get in contact with the State Title 19 people in their lofty Ivory Towers. It's a stinking mess. Sharon feels that she is too frail to come home-- and I agree with her... and she will eventually fall down again at home, break more bones, when I am not looking [she gets lazy and doesn't follow doctors' orders and precautions, etc.
I WILL take care of Sharon the very best I can if she has to come back home, and I enjoy her company and friendship. She has lost a lot of weight, but she has trouble standing up. breathing, and walking!

So if it's hard for my family-- it must be hard for other families too, unless some others fall into the obama's favored group that never worked, welfare type of people, that the gov't supports with OUR dollars all their lives... lol. But we all must understand and respect those who are truly injured/ disabled who have the legitimate right to SSDI, Gov't assistance. Years ago, when there were more REAL practicing Christians-- families took care of their members, including older/ disabled parents.

Seeing and visiting my wife so often, I have begun to become more knowledgeable of the disabled people's plight in nursing homes and how they are treated. I have had a good number of meaningful conversations with several patients at Woodstock Nursing Home and Rehab since Sharon has been there, and some are very smart,wise, people, and Vets. I will try to be respectful and delicate, but Sharon tells me all the dirty secrets about the lazy staff... but if I said "too much," people would automatically call me a 'racist' for being 'too descriptive' -- talking about certain "types" of people who actually HIDE FROM WORK, and do the bare minimum, are rude, mean, grumble and mistreat the patients!! But I've seen lazy pigs too in all my years of work
-- and those kind of people just love to 'play the race card' when ever they get caught loitering, stealing, crimes, or doing a substandard job, etc. Right now with the 'gentleman in the WH' it would be 'politically incorrect' to be more detailed and descriptive.... if you know what I mean.

Well, anyway, when I took our registered "Service Animal", Deuce the Rottweiler into the Mess Hall at lunch time at Woodstock Nursing Home today ALL THE PATIENTS LOVED HIM AND HE LIGHTED UP THEIR SPIRITS AND MADE THEM ALL SMILE! But the 3 food serving staff girls, who just happened to be 'African-American' put up a big fuss and acted 'morbidly petrified' -- totally paranoid at the sight of our gentle, well train, Katrina survivor, Deuce, and they asked me to pull the dog aside-- out of the room, and so I did. but after the patients got done eating they all came by to pet our dog and say wonderful things about him. Sharon has a wide circle of friends who BEG me to bring our dog all the time, but it's hard to do with so many air heads working there, looking for any reason to dampen the spirits of the poor patients who must live there. But we all know that 'certain types' of people fear Rottweilers-- for what ever reasons... lol. We both have spent many hours training Deuce, and also took him to a 'Service Animal School' to get him certified, and he has all his shots, of course. I just paid over $135 today for 2 bags of dog food! Stocking up for the 'Storm.'

My power scooter ran out of 'juice' today while at the grocery store, and what a bummer! NEVER use the distress lights or horn again!! They pull too much electrical charge/ juice out of the battery. So I had to charge the scooter again for the 2nd night in a row. See, I have to learn from my mistakes too.

Flash! Sharon just called me up and told me to pick up her and all her belongings in the morning, as she thinks it will cost too much to keep her there-- but she will continue to probe, research, and fight to get what is hers, legally.

Hey! How many people like or eat sardines ?? Most of the ladies will say 'No Way!' I think that they are a good 'survival' food. So is peanut butter. What type of survival foods have you all put up, stored?? People like me need to know.
Well, how can we miss not knowing how other countries feel about our Gov't printing more money to BUY UP OUR OWN BONDS AND DEBT in the USA?? This is 101 basic Economics our Gov't, obama and Congress are pretending to ignore!! This funny money with no Gold standard backing-- will DE-VALUE our American dollar so that it will have much LESS buying power! Glenn Beck is at least telling the truth about this business.... that it just may take a wheel barrow full of dollars to buy one loaf of bread, not IF, but when our economy tanks. But that is exactly what obama, the Congress and George Soros wants! Good bye, USA....... Hello China! All this business makes loving the Lord Jesus Christ and studying the Bible all the more important. Are you ready for the Rapture? I heard that there are no nursing homes in heaven...

Warm Regards,
Tom
