Who does the Father Draw?

Good Day, Friends and Readers!
   When I first got on-line a half hour ago, the air temp. was -16 below zero ! People are calling this, a good 'Old fashioned Winter.'    We've got to admit that the past 3 Winters have been mild compared to this Winter. The only reason why I mention this is because these temps CAN KILL !   Cars don't start because of the cold, etc.

For a whole week now, I have slept like a baby, without interruption, and woke up totally refreshed, and without pain !! Hey! You want to 'capture' this formula and cork it in a bottle !   Trying to retrace my steps, I think that starting a new regimen of "Magnesium Complex" --by Nature's Way, herb company, has had a positive effect on my system !!   I always like to pass that on -- but remind you all that you MUST READ everything about anything you take in your mouth ---PLEASE !

'Who does the Father draw?' I thought that this short article might help explain things to people in a nice, easy to understand way. And noting the scriptures are essential, folks.   I even write them down to memorize, and high light in my study bible. Who knows that the day MIGHT come when the Socialist Gov't will take away all of our
bibles, and then what will we have to stay strong and valiant ??
      Friends, Let's get into the the GOOD habit of knocking on an old neighbor's door and check in on them to see if they need anything.   I am blessed with many good things, like pocket bibles, and "vest bibles" that I can carry without being weighted down too much, and then I can also give that small bible away if people like it.   I especially set out to do this [plan it that way] when ever i go to the VAMC... the VA Hospital, etc.   You have to 'think ahead' and PLAN to do such things, and MAKE an opportunity, while also praying and asking the Holy Spirit to assist you!    Anyway, it works for me...

The blog post just BEFORE today's post, represents MOST of my beliefs, but the Nephilim [sp?] of Noah's day, might have been stretched too far, IMHO, and I don't see the scriptural support.... and I just thought you should know that.   Some of that post is 'another man's opinion' or his personal research, but he did have some very good logic about getting into the "GOOD HABIT" of reading your bible all the time, and with much urgency, dear friends.   GOOD!  Now I feel better. My conscience is clean.

Well, I am going to take a shower, and then wait for my good wife to return home, from visiting and helping her daughter, Janna, who recently delivered her first baby a few days ago, and I always enjoyed her company and respected visits to our humble home in the U.P.-- MI.   It's going to be a good day !
     Blessing upon all my close friends and Believing relatives, and I hope that the UN-Believing friends and relatives will soon 'see the Light' THIS YEAR, and follow the Lord.

Warm Regards,
Tom Schuckman

I am a good, well trained [college and OJT] Welder, and love to work with steel ! I also welded for AMC/ Chrysler, for the first 17.3 years that I worked there, before I transferred to the Motor Division.

Who Does The Father Draw?

Tuesday, December 31st, 2013

Q. John 6:44 says, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.” Are there people who are eternally lost because the Father has not drawn them to himself?

A. First of all, God doesn’t want any to be lost, but for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). In 1 Tim. 2:3-4 Paul confirmed that God wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Therefore the door to salvation stands open to every person for the duration of his or her lifetime.
We know this because Jesus said God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). From this and other passages, it’s clear that we decide whether or not God will draw us to Him. Everyone who asks, receives (Matt. 7:7). Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13).
Romans 8:29-30 explains how the process works.
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
Knowing the end from the beginning, God knew the name of everyone who would accept the remedy He would provide for their sins before the first man was created. (He foreknew.) He made a reservation for each one of them in His Kingdom. (He predestined.) At some point in their lives He calls them and He keeps calling until they respond. (He called.) When they respond, and they all do, He applies His blood as payment in full for their sins rendering them clean. ( He Justified.) At the Rapture / Resurrection He will give them glorified bodies to dwell in His presence for eternity. (He Glorified.)
In John 6:44, Jesus was referring to the fact that the Father only calls those He already knows will come, having seen them do so. He doesn’t call any who won’t come (John 6:37) and He doesn’t lose any who have come (John 6:39)

I can answer that question - and it's not good.
"See, I’m trying to cater to those who are trying to get to the bottom and really understand this kind of stuff of what’s happening. And you’ve got to read it. You have to read it. And you won’t like it, because it literally means poverty for the majority of the public across the world, for a hundred years, maybe forever. Because it’s not just food, you understand, and water and jobs etc. Literally, it’s the fact they don’t want you there. They want to bring down your populations, drastically. At the last big Rockefeller meeting of the Lucky Genes Club, he said, we’ve done it through abortion and different techniques. I guess different techniques is probably poisoning us all, and sterilizing us all, which has been awfully successful actually, when you watch some of the Horizon documentaries they made on it. Anyway, they also want you to start dying quickly, you see."

That's why they have been running an abortion, feminism, gay agenda. It's not by accident. These people are eugenicists. Much like the caste system in India, they believe themselves to be above the general population and that it is there position to remove us. You don't hear much about it because they don't want us to know.

2014---Judgment Day for America.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/

tschuckman@aol.com

The Bible IS an Adult Book !!   Although it is written on a 6th grade level, parts of it are raw, basic, very, VERY, TRUTHFUL ! ! ! But then, what would we expect from our Mighty God ??   In a world swimming with LIES, big time, all I ever wanted was the real, unvarnished, pure, TRUTH !   PTL....    Praise the Lord, that we have a good, easy to read and understand KJV Bible in each and every house today in 2014 !!   I have a whole bunch of them, and I buy more from time to time, just to GIVE AWAY TO SERIOUS, hungry, truth-seeking people, who say that they just cannot afford a copy.   Please visit:   biblefortoday.org -- for a relatively inexpensive copy of the DEFINED KJV Bible, such as I use regularly, in my personal study, besides my Old Schofield Study system Bible KJV. I also have other versions of the Bible in our warm, cozy home, like the: NASB, etc., but I personally consider those for what we call, 'new' and 'young' Christians, who are not familiar at all with reading a bible, or not very educated.   BTW, I have also taught many people HOW TO READ, years ago in the city of Kenosha, WI., etc, with the Kenosha Literacy Council, after I received training for that skill.   That really made me feel good inside, and of course, I did it for free.
    I am NOT bragging... just stating a few minor facts, and I give God the credit for every good thing that comes down the pike -- and every success in my life. In fact, I have been on the WRONG side of God in my youth, and younger days, and ended up in horrible places, injured and broken, full of sin and stupidity!!   When I finally found the Lord, and the Holy Spirit helped me 'clean up my act,' things sure started to improve for me..... PTL.    IT'S 12 MIDNIGHT, and high time for bed.

Warm Regards,
Tom Schuickman

...My old, 2005, 6 cylinder Goldwing motorcycle, 1800 cc's or raw power, my pride and joy, and reward for retiring after 30.5 years of hard work at Chrysler Motors @ Kenosha, WI.   I also bought a few Dodge 4 by 4 trucks-- as I got a huge sack of money shaved off, because I got a auto worker's discount.... and help my relatives and friends get deals too !   The Lord has truly blessed me, with a beautiful blond, blue eyed wife, too, named, Terri ! !

This will make us good Christians or just as bad as the rest....pray, read and decide what you are really about. There is no turning back now I do not think.....it all is just going to proceed as the years unfold. I pray for us all.......

2014 JUDGMENT DAY FOR AMERICA: THE BIBLE AS AMERICA’S NEW PORNOGRAPHY

January 1, 2014 at 8:22pm

By Paul McGuire
December 30, 2013
NewsWithViews.com

There is a convergence of economic, political, military, biological and environmental factors that are about to profoundly impact America and every other nation in our world. America has been uniquely blessed among the nations and therefore has a far higher level of accountability than other nations. America was formed by Pilgrims and Puritans who escaped religious persecution in Europe and entered into a covenant with God based on the covenant God made with the nation of Israel. The Pilgrims and Puritans fully understood that God was the Source of all of their blessings and that if they offended the Holy God they could expect to see His judgment. Therefore, when they experienced crop failures, bad weather, disease, or other calamities they would search their souls, repent, fast, and pray to God for forgiveness.

At the very beginning of America there were two different spiritual directions the nation could take, which would result in two different futures. First, there was the Biblical vision of America that was set forth by the Pilgrims and Puritans. Second, there was the secret occult plan for America developed by Sir Francis Bacon in the mid-1600s for America to be the head of the New World Order and the “New Atlantis.” As we enter the year 2014 we must clearly understand that as a people we are moving at lightning speed to the full realization of the secret occult plan for America which synchronizes with Bible prophecy.
Sir Francis Bacon was the head of the Rosicrucians, whose occult knowledge and science was passed on from the Tower of Babel and, before that, from the secret science and technology that originated in Atlantis. The scientific elite who rule America and the world through their puppet politicians view themselves as the god-kings of Atlantis, whom Plato referred to as the philosopher-kings in his “New Republic.” These ancient sciences and technologies were revived after the Flood, and when Nimrod built the Tower of Babel, which means the “gate of God,” a star gate, he unleashed the fires of this secret illumination, like the god Prometheus.

This ancient occult knowledge and the one world religious system and one world economic system that accompanies it is known in the Book of Revelation as “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the Earth.” Revelation 17:5
It is important to understand that this ancient knowledge and technology began with the Elohim, or “Sons of God” descending upon Mount Hermon in Phoenicia and mating with human women, who gave birth to the Nephilim, or “Watchers.” In this process highly advanced knowledge, technology, and science was passed on to Mankind before the Flood, which enabled advanced civilizations like Atlantis, Thule, and Hyberborea to emerge. Then, after the Flood, beginning at the Tower of Babel, which was the post-Flood world’s first one world government, one world economic system and one world religion, “Mystery Babylon” was passed on through numerous secret occult societies and governments such as the Pharaoh god-king religion of Egypt, the ascended masters of Tibet, Rosicrucians, Illuminati, Vril and Thule societies, Golden Dawn, OTO, Bilderberg, Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, and countless other groups.
Mankind is now going into a period where all forms of crisis are about to escalate and where quite possibly we have reached the point of no return, leading to the end of the world, at least the world as we know it. This “end of the world” scenario can potentially bring about three entirely different outcomes. Some of these outcomes are based on the Illuminati operating principle, “Order out of Chaos,” or the “New World Order out of Chaos.” First, the present chaos is a sign for some that we have entered what Aliester Crowley called the “New Aeon” or a new era for Mankind. Groups like the Illuminati anticipate a time of great planetary upheaval resulting in the killing off of billions of “useless eaters” before a New World Order is established.
This is very difficult for the average man to understand, as well as those in the managerial class of this New World Order who have only limited, compartmentalized information. However, it is simply Darwinian evolutionary theory at its purest form, which is the survival of the fittest, or might makes right. There are many scientists, thinkers, and politicians who fully understand this, but they simply are not saying it out in the open. Hitler’s Third Reich was built on the science of eugenics and the right of a “master race” to exterminate what they perceived to be lesser races. The science of eugenics has become Transhumanism.
The Bible does not promote a “master race” perspective, because all races were created by God for a purpose. The Biblical God is a God of love, as opposed to the brutally savage dog eat dog “god” of Social Darwinism. Those who believe in Eschatology or Bible prophecy believe that we are seeing the initial “Signs of the Times” that Jesus Christ predicted would occur before His return to Earth at the Battle of Armageddon, where a New Heaven and New Earth will be established. The Bible teaches that in the last days there will be a Tribulation Period, also known as the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble.” End of the world scenarios either from a Biblical perspective or an ecological perspective can cause enormous psychological stress and anxiety because both reveal Man’s limited control over his world and environment. No matter what your viewpoint is, if you are not prepared for it, the “birth pangs” of the new world that is to come can cause a form of ”Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder” and great fear and anxiety. Many people, deceived by the Illuminati, believe that a World State ruled by an elite could solve many of these problems. In contrast, the early Pilgrims and Puritans who settled in America believed that it was God who was their ultimate “source.” Many Christians today may not admit it openly, but they believe as the Communist Revolutionary Trotsky did that “The State is God.” That belief is idolatry and will lead to the worship of a man, the Antichrist, as “god.”

All of this has very practical applications for our nation and world. There are people in very high places who are in the process of bringing down the U.S. dollar and preparing to replace it with a new international currency of some form. When this happens Americans and others will be allowed to trade in their dollars and other currencies for the new global currency. Naturally they will receive a fraction of the value of their dollars in the trade. However, an international crisis will happen at some point before you are asked to trade in your dollars, and the average American will be thrilled with the opportunity not to lose everything. The second phase of setting up this one world economic system will be to convert this new international currency into a cashless system. Some kind of “Mark of the Beast” technology will be distributed in the form of a microchip implant. Whatever the technology of the chip, it will contain all your personal, medical, and financial records. You will not be able to buy or sell, participate in the economic system, receive medical care, or gain access to your Social Security, pensions, and retirement funds without having this chip.
At first, the chip may simply be made mandatory supposedly to prevent identity theft, or for national security reasons. But according to the Bible in Revelation Chapter 11 eventually you will not be able to receive this “Mark of the Beast” or have it activated unless you choose to reject Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and pledge to worship the Antichrist as God. Remember, if you look at your U.S. dollar it is filled with occult symbols such as the all-seeing eye of Lucifer and the words “”New World Order” in Latin. The U.S. dollar also has an occult pyramid on the back of it, along with an eagle that secretly represents the bird called the Phoenix.
The Book of Revelation also clearly states that if any person chooses to refuse to accept the Mark of the Beast they will be beheaded. Up until very recently that was a strange term, but now the term “beheaded” is well known because of the actions of radical Islamic extremists. There are many easier ways to put people to death, rather than by beheading, but that is method of choice under the “Beast System.”
Finally, the Book of Revelation issues a very strong warning to all those who would worship the First Beast or Antichrist as God and choose to receive this Mark of the Beast. The penalty for any person choosing to worship the Antichrist as God and receiving the Mark of the Beast is that they will be cast into the Lake of Fire forever along with Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet. Once you accept the Mark of the Beast there is no going back. You are sentenced by God at the Great White Throne of Judgment into a cosmic prison called the Abyss, which is a place of eternal torment, described in the Book of Revelation.
On the other hand, all those who chose to accept God’s free offer of salvation in Jesus Christ will be given a brand new supernatural and glorified body. They will be welcomed into the New Earth, New Heaven, and New Jerusalem, which will be a place of unending adventure, discovery, and ecstasy.
The battle for the soul and heart of America is a microcosm of the great battle of the ages. If you have difficulty processing this information, I can personally empathize with you. No one including this author is asking you to suspend your intellect or reject your questions. However, as someone who once believed that all of this talk of a New Heaven and a New Earth was a tragic and delusional fantasy, let me offer one simple suggestion. Take ninety percent of religious talk, images, and ideas of contemporary Evangelical Christianity and hit the delete button in your brain and then use the “empty the garbage” app. I found it very helpful to take a great deal, not all, of the religious clichés, culture, and messages of Evangelical Christianity and simply nuke them in the microwave of my consciousness.
Once my mind was cleared of all the non-Biblical cultural baloney, I was able to really see what the Bible was talking about and its message became alive for me. Find a good version of the Bible, preferably the King James Version or the New King James Version, and just start reading books like Genesis, Matthew, Revelation, etc. Just read the Bible like it is!
Read the Bible as it is meant to be read, uncensored, unedited, raw and X-rated! Yes, despite what you have been told the Bible is an “adult and X-rated” book, but that makes a lot Christians uncomfortable. But then again Jesus Christ made the religious leaders of His time uncomfortable and they killed Him. If you really want to know what is soon going to happen to America and the world, read the Bible before they ban it, make it illegal, and censor it. Mark my words, the day is coming soon in America when you will be arrested and even killed for having a Bible, so read it while you can. The actual literal and inspired Word of God or the Bible is the new pornography in America. If you are an adult, you need to read it.

Credible Fear.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!   We can only hope and pray that it may be happy, but I, personally want to start off on the right foot and think positively! I do listen intently to my readers, friends, and wife, and ask them for 'constructive criticizm' -- and then try to act on it, if it has merit.   And I thank all of you good people for helping me in the past, also giving me suggestions on what to post -- many times taking YOUR advice-- even giving the credit to YOU !   People like Grace, and Suni, etc., have contributed special news articles and things of interest to my humble blog several times. THANK YOU !!

I try to make my blog interesting, but the Truth of the Bible trumps everything else in my book.   I am sorry if I have repeated myself too much, but the teaching of what is most IMPORTANT, Salvation of human souls, and praise to the Lord of all things, Jehovah God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior, has got to be my primary mission statement, dear ones.    Hey! This is the only 'show in town' and according to the apostle Paul..... "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea, doubtless, and I cou8nt all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ."   ~ Philippians 3: 7-8.   And friends, let's not be squeamish about the original, true words and terms of the KING JAMES BIBLE, PLEASE ! ! ! If the 66 books of the Bible use such terms in their proper setting, whom of us has the authority to say that they are improper or dirty ??   I am sorry if I have offended anyone who reads my humble Blog: TOM'S JOURNAL, but I seek to be accurate, and also get my point across.   I have noticed that some folks are almost hypocritical, and overly sensitive about some of my language, knit-picking, and being hyper-critical --- but not seeing the original content and ideas that I try hard to impart/ paint/ illustrate.   To those simple folks, I say, move on, to Alice in Wonderland, or some goofy, meaningless trash. My blog posts are aimed at a particular group of mature people, who are mostly on the same level as I am..... LOVERS OF THE TRUTH, even if it appears unvarnished and raw, sometimes. I am far from perfect -- a sinner, deserving of death and hell. I glorify my God, Almighty in heaven for giving me a 'way out' -- in Salvation through the blood of Jesus on the cross, and I am SAVED !   YOU can be too, as many of my Readers are!   You all must know my address by now: tschuckman@aol.com

Sorry to dampen your parade today, but Phyllis Schafly, is an all time favorite of mine, and can be heard on that great Christian radio channel/ wave length: WVCY- Milwaukee.... I think: 107.5 FM.   --By InterNet too ! Good stuff, and very encouraging!

One more thing, please, I do believe that WE WILL experience some freaky, super cold weather, and other new disasters in the very near future, because of America's sour dealings with the State of Israel.   Even as the Sec. of State, John Kerry, might be there right now, pushing Israel to give up more land, or lowering her guard, when her hostile neighbors are still sending rockets and mortars her way !!   I read the book, 'As America has done to Israel,' [sorry, that I could have the title wrong, sorry...], and by now ALL OF YOU have the Genesis 12:3 scripture memorized.   The minds of the heathen [and that includes the WH, Congress, Gov't, etc.], the UN-believers, the wicked, god-haters, will get all of us in deep trouble, friends.   I have told you all 'why' many times.   We, collectively, generally speaking, have put obama and the greedy Congress in power, and now WE reap the whirl wind.    Period. Amen.

So, while whole countries will not be saved, preserved, safe.....   INDIVIDUALS may still be Saved !

Warm Regards,
Tommy Schuckman

Pretty Terri is way UP near Marquette, MI., to help out, with her pretty, well mannered daughter, Janna, who just gave birth to her FIRST child, 2 days ago! Woo Woo! Mother and daughter [child] are just fine, and healthy. Praise be to God! I believe the new born baby was large, like: almost 8 pounds.   I am happy that everything went well.   I am just getting to know Janna, and she has always been nice, kind, respectful to me.   I don't want to get the baby's name wrong, so I will wait until Terri gets back home with all the particulars.

"For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."   ~ Philippians 1: 21.

----->>>   My two beautiful daughters, Sarah, and Barbara.   I love both of them, of course.   And I sorely MISS MY DEAR SON, ANDY, WHO WAS TAKEN AWAY from me three years ago.   I pray that he is in heaven now -- no more pain, no more sorrow.

---And sweet Terri M. Schuckman, in the kitchen, my lawfully, wedded wife, and soul mate. I love you, dear Terri !

The Magic Words: Credible Fear

by Phyllis Schlafly

January 1, 2014

Those who seek to enter the United States illegally are resourceful in selecting their route. They climb over fences, scramble through underground tunnels, swim through waterways, and claw their way through the heat of the Arizona desert.
Now, some illegals have learned two magic words that let them in legally. They can walk up to a border agent and say: “credible fear.”

These may be the only words they can speak in English, but they are sufficient to unlock the gates of our borders. Credible fear applications have increased from 5,000 to more than 36,000, with the biggest numbers coming from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.
If a credible fear application passes an initial screening interview, the applicant is allowed to live and work in the U.S. until his case is resolved. That might take years.
The House Judiciary Committee recently held a hearing to examine reports that the asylum system is being exploited by drug traffickers. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) accused some asylum seekers of “gaming the system”; they “get free education, free healthcare.”
Such a loose system invites fraud. Last year in New York, 26 people including six attorneys were indicted on charges that they manufactured asylum claims and coached Chinese clients on how to lie to immigration officials. In 2012, more than 10,000 people from China were granted asylum.
The House Judiciary Committee discovered a woman in the U.S. on an asylum claim who three months later was caught at a Border Patrol checkpoint with more than $1 million worth of cocaine. According to Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), “dangerous criminals are gaming the system by claiming they have a ‘credible fear’ of persecution when often they’ve been the perpetrators of violence themselves.”
According to Rep. Goodlatte, the law requires most people claiming “credible fear” to be put in mandatory detention until their case is resolved. But, surprise, surprise, the Obama Administration argues that they should be released rather than detained unless there is a demonstrable danger to the community.
Among the 70,000 Iraqis admitted to the U.S. as war refugees were several dozen suspected terrorist bomb-makers, including some believed to have targeted U.S. troops, according to the FBI agents investigating the roadside bombs recovered from Iraq and Afghanistan. An Iraqi named Waad Ramadan Alwan, who claimed to be a refugee, was allowed to settle in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where he moved into public housing and collected public assistance handouts.
The FBI secretly taped Alwan, which recorded him bragging that he had built a dozen bombs in Iraq and used sniper rifles to target American soldiers near Baghdad. Bowling Green residents are asking why this criminal was allowed to move to their town.
The FBI now admits that dozens of terrorist bomb-makers were allowed to move to the U.S. as war refugees. Don’t forget the Boston Marathon Bombers who were admitted to the U.S. using the asylum racket and then received welfare handouts.
Asylum requests from Mexico soared to 36,000 in fiscal 2013, and 2,000 recent applicants carried a bleeding-heart letter describing their alleged need for asylum. A local official named C. Ramon Contreras Orozco has been busy providing these letters, which have been copied, resold or forged for a going rate of $75 each.
The U.S. Border Patrol reported a “surge of unaccompanied minors coming across our border,” some used by drug smugglers. Border statistics released this December show that 24,668 “unaccompanied alien children” were housed in federally funded U.S. care centers last year, double the 2012 number, and quadruple the number in previous years.
Our Border Patrol arrested a 12-year-old boy illegally smuggling 80 pounds of marijuana on his back from Mexico into Texas. Rep. Steve King (R-IA) commented that some of the so-called Dreamers, portrayed as having been innocently brought into the U.S. as children by their parents, actually were “hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.”
Federal Judge Andrew S. Hanen of Texas accused the Department of Homeland Security of hand-delivering children smuggled into the U.S. to their illegal alien parents. The judge said that Customs and Border Protection agents helped to locate and deliver the kids to their parents, and U.S. taxpayers paid the bill for flights to multiple locations to find the parents.
One of those children was delivered to the person who paid the smuggler. The judge accused the government of “completing the criminal mission” of human traffickers “who are violating the border security of the United States” and assisting a “criminal conspiracy in achieving its illegal goals.”
Judge Hanen called the Administration’s behavior “dangerous and unconscionable” and said that “DHS should cease telling the citizens of the United States that it is enforcing our border security laws because it is clearly not. Even worse, it is helping those who violate these laws.”

A Word to the Wise.... "the Truth shall set you free."

Ruth Hammonds, said:
"Tom, thanks for all you share and how you love others with the truth etc.....you keep up the good work friend and may the New Year see us safer, but it seems to me that the articles and stories are getting worse and worse......God be with us!!"

Good Day, Friends, and Readers!
   We 'U-ppers' in Iron Mtn., MI., are now in the below zero air temps today, where it is actually dangerous to stay outside if not properly dressed, and there is no reason for me to venture out today.... as I did all of our shopping yesterday, after church. And that is where I wrote out a good, healthy check for the last of this year, my "tithe" to help and support the small, country, Christian church.... MY privilege ! PTL ! Praise the Lord who blesses me to be able to also bless the Bible loving/ preaching church U.P. here. My pretty wife is all supportive of my donations too. We've agreed to only use the check book to pay bills and thereby keep good track and record of them in this fashion. The good pastor and his fine wife, just happen to be close friends of my wife, Terri, and I, and we have had them over for dinner, cook outs, etc., many times.   I believe that Pastor Kevin Sullivan likes and generally approves of the way I manage my Blog/ On-Line Journal: TOM'S JOURNAL...[and I secretly THINK that my ideas give him ideas for composing some of his own sermons and talks.... just my opinion]. I guess that I repeat myself writing in my therapeutic Journal, too often, but many people write personal emails to me, praising my efforts, and consider me a "good writer." I 'CAN' be a very good writer, if I try hard, but for the most part, my blogs are prob. average. Like I said, about 99% of the feed back is always POSITIVE and APPRECIATED!   Sometimes I get a 'sour grapes' admonishment / criticism...LOL, and I sure cannot, and should not try to please everyone.

And as for the "sour grapes of wrath" commentary of that lone ONE PERCENT, they complain that my subject matter is too dire, too scary, too sour.   But all the prophets and Jesus Christ talked about the coming future that included themes of godly reproof, chastisement, correct, destruction and HELL. In fact, our Lord Jesus talked more about HELL than about HEAVEN !!   Check out Matthew, Chapter 24, and 25, about the last days, and all of Revelation, of which the 2 books of Daniel and Ezekiel unlock and explain !   Would you all want to be lulled into a dreamy, fairy tale mentality and lies, like the present obama administration likes to push ???    Or the real deal? Personally, I want the truth !   And I am bound to drift towards other smart teachers and Bible lovers who only speak the truth of the Bible.   I further suggest that those critics pick up pen and paper to write their OWN blog and see how well they do-- dwelling in a happy, mirth-filled, La-La land, where there is nothing but HAPPINESS all the time.

I tell folks that my humble Blog is a humble, Christian based, Journal, geared to help other combat, disabled Veterans, giving them info and as much help and assistance as I possible can.... including showing them the way to Salvation from the blood of Christ on the cross. And everyone can find this simple motif and declaration in my many blog posts there in.   I also try to 'salt and pepper' in information about survival, healing Herbs and Home medicine, How-To info, and some personal contact stuff-- between me and my close friends and relatives, spread all over the USA, etc. I try to stuff in, what I consider, important web sites, places, like the: biblefortoday.org   --- where a person can acquire a great KJV DEFINED Bible, for low cost, that makes Bible study and understanding, easier and better !!

My comment system is designed to allow anyone to speak their mind at the end of each and every post, but they MUST identify themselves and log in, to prevent all manner of heathens, god-haters, perverts, from their smash and grab, attacks, just like guerrilla warfare.    And really folks, IF I CAN NAVIGATE AND COMMENT, ANYONE CAN, with an IQ above 70.....   And I have even tried to help, walk folks right through the baby steps to do just that !
     And last of all, if people have nothing good to say about my humble, personal, blog --- why don't they just dry up and blow away, like dog pile.... LOL ? Get a life !

Warm Regards,
Tom, and Terri    [smile]

The 5 Dumbest Things You Can Do if You Have too Much Debt

If you’re struggling with too much debt, you’re not alone. It seems as if the whole nation has a borrowing hangover. For years, credit was easy, and many people became overextended. But, we now live in an era of austerity and it’s time to get our affairs in order.
The five strategies you may want to avoid:
The first piece of advice from experts in the financial field is to be sure you don't make your situation worse by making common mistakes. In particular, try to avoid:
1. Paying only the minimum payment on your debt, as this will result in the amount you owe actually growing, and your problems will only become worse.
2. Relying on friends and family, as this can damage relationships with the most important people in your life.
3. Unscrupulous credit counselors that demand cash upfront or high fees for help they promise, but don't deliver.
4. Using new, high-interest loans to pay off lower interest rate loans. While it may be easier to just have one payment, it will actually increase the amount you have to pay back.
5. Declaring bankruptcy--this can have permanent and severe consequences on your financial future. Avoid it if you can, especially when debt settlement may work for you.
Debt Settlement
For many people, working with a debt settlement company can actually be a great solution. You’ve probably heard a lot of advertising for these services recently, but what exactly do they do?
Debt settlement is the process of negotiating with creditors to get them to forgive a big portion of your debt. Why would a credit card company do this? Well, it’s not out of the generosity of their heart. They have made the financial calculations and determined they are better off knowing for certain that they’ll get paid something, rather than not knowing if they will get paid anything.
Settlement companies work with individual consumers to determine a reasonable, monthly amount that they can afford to pay against their debt load. The individual makes the affordable payment every month into a special-purpose account, and as these funds accumulate, the settlement company reaches out to creditors to negotiate a full and final actual settlement amount that they will take. The debt settlement company only charges a fee after they have achieved a satisfactory settlement for you.
Typically, these companies have excellent relationships with creditors and are negotiating on behalf of thousands of people every day. The amount of savings they can obtain for consumers can be significant.
While each situation is different, it’s not uncommon for debt settlement companies to negotiate reductions of as much as 50 percent of the outstanding amount and help get their customer debt free in just a few years.
There are many debt settlement agencies, so how do you find a legitimate and trustworthy company to work with? One great way to start is by visiting Preferred Financial Services. They offer a free, no-obligation consultation to evaluate your options. Then, if you choose to proceed, they will develop a plan that meets your specific needs and negotiate it on your behalf with your credit card companies. Preferred Financial Services is fully compliant with all FTC rules and they charge no fees until a settlement has been reached.

John Kerry To Offer Outline Of Israel-Palestine Peace Deal

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry will present Israel and the Palestinians the broad outlines of what a final Mideast peace agreement could look like when he travels to the region this week, the State Department said on Monday.
State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said Kerry will discuss with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas a proposed framework to serve as a guideline for addressing all core issues in the decades-long dispute. The core issues include the borders between Israel and a future Palestine, security arrangements, the fate of Palestinian refugees and conflicting claims to the holy city of Jerusalem.
The two sides resumed peace talks in July under heavy pressure from Kerry. As a precondition, the Palestinians were forced to drop a demand for a halt in construction of new Jewish settlements. In exchange, Israel agreed to release 104 long-serving Palestinian prisoners it has detained for years.
Kerry, who is scheduled to leave on New Year's Day for Israel and the Palestinian territories, has invested a lot of time conducting shuttle negotiations in hopes of reaching a deal within nine months. The target date expires at the end of April, and while that is not considered a deadline to end talks, there has been little, if any, tangible sign of progress so far.
Harf said Kerry hoped to narrow gaps in the two parties' positions, but it is not clear whether any agreement on a framework would be reached during the trip.
"It's only a proposed framework at this point. .. This framework would address all the core issues," Harf said.
"Some people say this would be an interim agreement. No, that's not the case. It would address the guidelines around all the core issues that are part of the final status negotiations."
Kerry's trip coincides with the third of four releases of a total of 104 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli detention. Israel has announced the names of 26 long-serving Palestinian prisoners to be released this week. All have served sentences of between 19 and 28 years.
"The Israeli government's commitment to release Palestinian prisoners helped enable the start and continuation of the final status negotiations, and we believe this is a positive step forward in the overall process," Harf said.

Israeli hard-liners typically oppose the release of Palestinian prisoners and, as with past releases, the Israeli government plans to announce the construction of new Jewish settlements in east Jerusalem and the West Bank— a move expected to anger the Palestinians.
Israel captured East Jerusalem and the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war, and more than 550,000 Israelis live in areas gained during the conflict. The Palestinians claim them as parts of a future independent state and criticize Israeli settlement construction as a sign of bad faith.
Abbas appealed to the U.S. to block the latest round of Jewish settlements, warning the move could jeopardize the U.S.-led peace effort.
Kerry has urged the Israelis to show restraint, and recently said the construction of new settlements raises questions about Israel's commitment to peace. The European Union has also urged Israel not to announce any more construction, saying it would hold Israel responsible for any breakdown in the talks.
Harf stopped short of criticizing the latest expected settlement announcement, because it has not been formally announced.
"We've made it very clear throughout this process what our position is on settlements," Harf said. "And we encourage all sides to take steps to create a positive environment. When we've had issues over these past few months at times we've said so. But we're keeping the discussions of these negotiations private, for the reason that we've always said, which is to give them the best chance of success."
