What research indicates: If you turn away from your partner more than you turn to your partner in these moments you will either build up a bond or break one down.  If your spouse wants too much of your time then that is another issue that should be addressed. Why do some people have happy marriages and others have a living nightmare? Invest in your spouse and grow in your connection.  Accepting a bid for time and attention from your spouse  more than turning away from them in these times will increase your shared "emotional bank account" according to Gottman Institute research.  Their research concludes that without this kind of behavior couples grow apart.  But with the positive turning to behaviors outweighing the turning away then a couple should expect to feel happy in marriage together.  Seems simple but it is the little ...

Mike Rowe became famous as the "Dirty Jobs" guy on the Discovery Channel show that ran from 2005 to 2012.  He's now got a show called Somebody's Gotta Do It, and he's recently been filming episodes for that show. Over the years, Rowe has impressed people, not only with his willingness to try his hand at dangerous and dirty jobs, but for his good sense of humor and his admirable pragmatism.  That was on display when he explained that the Wuhan virus will not stop him from working on his television show.  He believes that the virus will do what it's going to do, therefore he refuses to give in to panic or stop living. On his Facebook page, Rowe will occasionally answer letters from people.  The most recent letter came from Darlene Gabon, who thought he was being irresponsible to continue working while the Wuhan virus is still out there: In a recent post, you said you've been to Tennessee and Georgia, giving speeches and filming for your new show. Befo...

Something About This Guy Is Off

While the Covid-19 epidemic continues to drag on in the United States, it’s largely over in Sweden where fatalities have dropped to no more than 2 deaths per day for the last week. Sweden has been harshly criticized in the media for not imposing draconian lockdowns like the United States and the other European countries. Instead, Sweden implemented a policy that was both conventional and sensible. They recommended that people maintain a safe distance between each other and they banned gatherings of 50 people or more. They also asked their elderly citizens to isolate themselves and to avoid interacting with other people as much as possible. Other than that, Swedes were encouraged to work, exercise and get on with their lives as they would normally even though the world was still in the throes of a global pandemic. The secret of Sweden’s success is that its experts settled on a strategy that was realistic, sustainable and science-based. The intention was never to “fight” the virus...

Congratulations folks.  This is our new reality.  Not because it is necessary but because people think it is truly needed.  Manufactured fear and receiving those lies as truth leads to sorrow.  The bible talks much about this.  The world is going down a perilous path being lead by spiritual wickedness on high. Ephesians 6:12 KJV For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

I don't believe I "walk in the Spirit" and perfectly obey the leading of the Holy Spirit very well.  But I know God will guide me if I let Him and synchronize my thinking with what He says in His word. In a nutshell, preachers often not trusting God will provide manipulate people to give "tithes". I am lead to give the church I attend money.  My wife and I like to do that and feel lead to to some extent.  But if you give all your resources to a church that doesn't use the money for things that you are really lead to give to then you may need to pray for God to show you how to best allocate your giving.  Or whatever I'm not trying to be like them and make up more rules.  This kind of thing creates Pharisees out of believers.  It sends you into a ditch and once you start making a list of things you need to do to be a "good Christian" you are caught up in works for justification.  It is not like that for believers. Newsflash, you are not a good ...

NOTE: 2 verses in the bible speak about the complete gathering or assembling of the Saints which is a one time redemption event for those that are born again believers both dead and alive.  Dead(sleeping) go first. ἐπισυναγωγή episunagoge (e-piy-sïn-a-ğō-ǰee') n. 1. a complete gathering. This word for gathering or assembling is a complete gathering.  It is a noun.  It is used many other places as a verb.  You often hear people say, "God commands you to not forsake the assembling of the church" and in that way this word is a noun.  Many preachers I've heard that use this say we are not to neglect (verb) "going to church on Sunday"(verb).  And then they make some statement about keeping the Sabbath day holy and the Sabbath day isn't Sunday but Saturday.  So then you get so many people that are feeling manipulated by people running church buildings that they turn away and don't give Jesus a chance because the things many Christians teach are da...

Wise words from a young brother in Jesus Christ with a message of drawing near and the soon return of Jesus Christ. Matthew 10:28  And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Jeremiah 29:12-14 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and ...

Isaiah 54:7 -10 KJV For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. 9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. 10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

Isaiah 51:1-23 KJV Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. 3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. 4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. 5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust. 6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth...

Is the Resurrection of the Saints and the rapture of those that are believers in Jesus Christ at that time before the Time of Jacob's Trouble?  Many say this time is all tribulation.  So that is another discussion.  But this is the pre tribulation rapture theory.  I'm not sure when the tribulation starts and the bible also is not clear on that but we can deduce approximately the Feast of Trumpets is likely in my estimation the time of the Resurrection and thereby following too the rapture of those that are alive born again believers in Jesus Christ at that time. The thing is I'm not sure if this will happen according to scripture that I've studied before the Time of Jacob's trouble or sometime after that or simply before the day of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to the Earth.  Because it is clear that Jesus will come in the same manner that He left according to Acts 1.  But that doesn't mean He doesn't come in the clouds before that time.  I'm...

Why so scared?  Reality is only seen by those that fact check.  Some facts we cannot really check.  If someone says that a certain number of people have died now thereby this is a serious matter. Well, it is a serious matter.  But why not dig into this a little and see if we can see things more clearly. 1. What makes up the death rate reporting in the US? -People that have been diagnosed with Covid-19 and have died: YES they count -People that have not been diagnosed with Covid-19 but died and had symptoms similar to Covid-19 (such as respitory issues).  YES those count and fall into a bucket of probable cause Covid-19. CDC Guidelines For Certifying Death As COVID-19 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/vsrg/vsrg03-508.pdf This makes it easy.  Here is the water go and drink and you decide if there is an open door to classify something as a "probable" COVID-19 death.  Many doctors are speaking out against this lack of specificity co...

In the saga of the virus and the lockdown, the wisdom of the crowds, that is the wisdom of each of us, was thwarted by bad data, perhaps intentionally bad. On the other hand, the ersatz wisdom of the collective bureaucracy in federal, state and local health agencies was based on crafted data. In the end data didn’t matter, as the bureaucracies were more concerned with their natural territorial imperative, which is to rule and control. The most frightening aspect of the coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) epidemic in the US is that it brought about exaggeratedly heightened fear of death. That fear, once magnified to proportions which become palpable to the individual, became the basis for dreadful economic and medical policies from governments and crushed the natural optimism of the public. In early days, we were caught in a squeeze of conflicting information. Was COVID-19 a bioweapon gone rogue and destined to indiscriminately wipe out young and old? Or, was it another bad flu or perhaps ...
