Psa 100.5
“For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting
& his truth endureth to all generations.”
“…Is there not one method, whereby all things are tamed,
even lions? The method of hunger!”
– Thomas Carlyle
YOU # 2. You’re in grade school when you notice how well some teacher handles herself. You move up to high & are impressed by Mr ‘x.’ You’re convinced you want to be an educator. You start into college & feel like you’re near “heaven” hearing Professor ‘y’ & Dr “z” explain & expound. You push toward & receive your own Doctor’s degree. THEN – a disease weakens & debilitates. You find yourself on your deathbed. All the hours you put into your brain stay in the grave. Your SOUL does not. – 11/28/22
“For all is wrong & gone out of joint; the inward spiritual, & the outward economical;
head or heart…indeed evils of all sorts are more or less of kin…”
– Thomas Carlyle
LOVE OF TRUTH
Love to speak the Truth, now, in the Age Of The Lie.
Truth lives forever. Error now dying – will die!
Love Truth – hold it as important as life itself.
Never keep it dormant; un-used; on a shelf.
Christ is Truth. He has been; will be for aye.
Honor Truth in youth – honor to your dying day.

WHY THE RING? #3. There *must be a reason why you wear a ring (if not you’re less than logical). Does a ring draw attention? Is that why you wear one? [Or – this is super-serious – do you wear a ring so you’ll *NOT Draw Attention* – so you’ll fit in with a heathen society? Where’s your backbone? Where?]
Does a ring show Ownership? (Ranchers brand cows for ownership.) Are you so tied to custom you must tell everyone you graduated from ‘x’ or, are a member of ‘y’? Are you a slave to opinion? – 2022
“Mammon…is the basest of known Gods,
even of known Devils…”
– Thomas Carlyle
SURVIVE #2. As the sun lightens the sky you ARE awake. (Perhaps you’ve not slept or did so very fitfully.) You need water again. If you can go up stream to a source, do so, or as far as practical. (Remember to relieve yourself many yards from your water source.) Your stomach wants to know “what’s for breakfast?” You’ll be glad then for everything you EVER read about ‘eating off the land’ or about survival foods. If you make it out to civilization it could depend on your choice of foods. – 12/1/22
2Ti 3.16
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God & and is profitable for doctrine
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”
My 1967 BA (Literature Major) didn’t discourage use of the King James. My 1990 Masters in Biblical Literature (studied Greek & Hebrew) if anything pushed more toward this CLASSIC of Classics, English Bible. I’ve posted pro-KJV “eabits” & expect to until death. I’ve called other “bibles” lesser. If only in words, they’re lesser; KJV has 783,137 words, NASB – 782,815, NKJV – 770,430, ESV – 757,439, NIV – 727,969 – wordcounter.net/blog/2015/12/08/10975… Come back to the Classic. – 12/5/22
“Through all of time…sin was, is,
will be the parent of misery.”
