SILENTLY, WITHOUT HASTE, COMES THE SHADOW OF FEAR

Very softly down the glade runs a waiting, watching shadow,
And the whisper spreads and widens far and near;
And the sweat is on thy brow, for it passes even now.....
It is Fear, O trembling one, it is Fear. 
Adapted from Rudyard Kipling


Fear.....

It devours our peace, and it tempts us to lose faith in God.

Research tells us that fear and anxiety can turn a light case into a deadly one.

Sadly, many people fill the Internet with fear and seem to gloat at the thought of causing their audience to lose hope.

If we let these predators destroy our peace, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Just stop clicking on the links.

Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Jesus

DAY BY DAY
Don't be shy, whether alone or with friends, please sing along. 



1
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure,
Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
2
Every day the Lord Himself is near me,
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge to me He made.
3
Help me then, in every tribulation,
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till with Christ the Lord I stand.


GOOD NEWS

Italians are turning in desperation to Jesus Christ for deliverance. And, the video is of all men, kneeling and praying for help from God. Could you ever imagine this happening unless God had allowed the virus to devastate Italy?

THANKS JANICE

The lady speaks in the cause of men in society.





I need to vent a bit based on my own experience.

Only recently I have stopped tuning pianos for a living. I started tuning in about 1983 and kept at it for 35 years. This was a second vocation I used to augment my income I received from small churches I pastored. I may tune a few church pianos in the coming years, but I have stopped tuning in homes because of the trend by women to sue men for rape and winning, regardless of what did or didn't happen.

But, my point in this comment is that the piano tuning trade is about 98% done by men. Can women make good piano tuners?

Answer: They can, and I have met one woman piano tuner who seemed to do good work. So, why are they not in the trade?

1. Piano tuning is not a trade that you can acquire by agitating for you rights. To become a piano tuner you need to study a very complicated process with no tolerance for less than perfection. There is no such thing as a fast tuning or a cut rate tuning. Every tuner learns early that, no matter whether it is a concert hall or a retired old lady with bad hearing, the only tuning that goes on every piano is a perfect one. If you try to do a less than perfect tuning, you will not be able to finish the tuning successfully. This trade is basically self-regulating by the mathematics and unforgiving laws of music.

2. Tuning a piano goes on and on for possibly hours. It all depends on the condition and brand of piano. Steinway made some shoddy grands in the 1970s when they were in financial trouble, and those pianos fight the piano tuner all the way. You cannot tell the customer he has a low quality Steinway. People all think that is impossible with Steinways. Also, once you start tuning, you cannot stop and walk off. A partly tuned piano is a train wreck if not completed. 

3. Also, your either find tuning to be a new fresh challenge every time you tune, or you quickly hate the sheer boredom of the endless repetition of the process. I personally never got bored with tuning pianos. That is not because I am a better man than other men. It is simply because God put me together that way, and I never had to emotionally fight to keep tuning. Piano tuners have a very special temperament, and it is impossible to be an emotional person when at work and while tuning pianos. Women are made by God to react emotionally to frustration. Men get frustrated and decide to conquer. This is the main reason women cannot do well at piano tuning. It is not a trade you just learn by practice and determination. You cannot develop a negative attitude to your work and survive in piano tuning.

4. Just like plumbers and air conditioning tradesmen, you have to go into all sorts of homes, and you have to tune for men who actually ARE rapists. You don't get to quizz them ahead of time to see what they are like, and you may find they are decent until you are half way through the tuning. If you flee the home at that point, you will be sued for leaving the piano in a mess. You also have to tune in public schools where macho boys will see you as vulnerable and steal you tools when you are not looking. I personally have had some very ugly customers I had to deal with, like aggressive faggots and Satanists. It takes a lot of diplomacy, and even some threats, to make such men back off.

5. The day will come when some well known musician will call you for a tuning. When he hears you are a woman, he may just hang up on you at once. Performance piano playing is clearly dominated by men. This is because women play with feeling, and men play to conquer the music and the piano. The results are that the average audience loves the effect of conquest a lot more than a lullaby. Concert musicians are also picky and demanding and critical. They often demand things that cannot be done in the tuning process, and you will have to explain to them firmly that you cannot produce their every whim and fancy. Doing this man to man does not always work, but doing it woman to man is going to be virtually impossible. Concert musicians believe they know everything there is to know about music, that is, as they see it. 

So, lady, go ahead, order a correspondence piano tuning course, get yourself a tuner friend as a mentor, and I promise you that you will be putting your tool kit on eBay about a month after booking your first customer. You simply cannot do anything a man can.

And, as Janice satirically points out, you need to hate me for telling you this. But, if you cannot lift just as much as the men you work with, and if you cannot climb a TV tower and replace the red flashing light bulb, don't apply for a job where you have to keep begging a man to help you finish the work. That is cheap feminism that a real man hates.

Are women better at anything in the music field than men? 

Absolutely. Consider the career of Barbara Streisand. She has charmed the world with her exceptional voice control for many years. Another area where women do best is in piano accompaniment of congregational singing. Women, being created more emotional beings, know how to serve. Men know how to conquer. A man playing for congregational singing is like quarter back changing a baby's diaper- all thumbs. I have never allowed a man to accompany group singing in any church I pastored over the years. It just does not work. I do not know why, but women seem to do better at playing the harp than men do. Women are more agile and delicate at musical dance than men.

Stay away from jazz bands ladies. I do not know why, but men seem to do better there. It may be because of men's behavior behind the curtain. 

Finally, there are exceptions to everything, but trends are a very good thing to consult before you run out in the world and go looking for a job to take away from a man, or visa verse men.

The human ear wants to hear high notes slightly sharp. Piano tuners know this and tune it into the treble on purpose. Barbara Streisand also learned this somewhere in her past, and she has mastered it. This is the reason she sounds so correct and sweet on the high notes, and that is why savvy women can charm the roughest macho man when they sing some songs.

WHERE DID THE SELF LOVE MESSAGE COME FROM?

We will now talk about Sesame Street, Mister Rogers, and the public schools. We know that the Millennial generation was raised on self love and being told they were the locus of the universe. What we need to talk about is why Christendom preached the self love message.

Where did it start?

Answer; In the Garden of Eden.

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.


Ye shall be as gods. And these thousands of years later, in the 1970s, the scum bag Robert Schuler published his book called Self Love. In this book, Schuler said that you cannot learn to love God or your fellow man until you learn to love yourself. This is the lie of Eden repackaged. God is dismissed to stand outside the door while this wonder gives himself total satisfaction and attention.

Thus, Mr. Rogers:


And, the Kindergarten teacher told you that you can be anything you want to be, and Sesame Street said it was so, thus, it is true, and here you are forty years late, and you are still the center of your universe, right?

But, the Gaithers also added their heresy to the mix for you millennials at the church house in 1975.


And, you believed it, right? Especially after Mommy called you Princess.

Now, all these years later, you men are still living at home, you are unemployed because no one will pay you what the emperor of the earth is worth, and you are blaming it on everyone but yourself.

Well, there has to be a way to escape from this dilemma. 

In the spirit if good will, I will make an effort to give you some help. I realize this will be a big joke to 99% of you Millennials, but if I can help even one of  you victims of the propaganda era to rise out of the swamp and get on the road to a productive life, then I must try.

First, stop blaming everyone and everything for your lousy life. Your life is YOUR responsibility, and the sooner you take charge of your life, the sooner you will have a life.

Second, put that I-phone down. This is the most potent force to keep you totally self-centered. Furthermore, it is frying your balls. If you want a life, you will have to join in with people around you who are also not damned to the Hell of the I-phone. 

Third, get a job. I don't care how badly it pays..... find something to do to earn your way. When  you do get a job, be on time to work, look for ways to improve on the work you do, and start looking for the good side of that job. You are learning a skill. I don't care if it does not fit your degree from some university that told you you were destined to conquer the world. Conquer a hamburger if you must, but find a job and master it. This will lead on to better things, but ONLY if you are the best at what you do.

Fourth, Read or die! The fact is now researched that you are dumb as snot if you graduated from college. You were ripped off, and the socialist guru who gave the speech at your graduation event told you that YOU would go forth and change the world. I have news for you, friend, the world is changed by people who got knowledge in college. Your return on investment is nearly zero.

HERE IS THE STORY. . . .DID YOU WASTE YOUR LIFE?

Now, you have a choice. Keep trying to flog your empty mind to American companies, or CATCH UP.

Go to Half Price Books, and find books of true stories of men who discovered, conquered, or hunted for things that no one else had done before. You need to start socking away the qualities of these men in your psyche so that you have some new tools made by real people who did not think they were the center of their world. You can find good books like this on ABE Books or at Book Finder online. They are often cheap because your fellow millennials are to preoccupied with themselves to buy these books. Start by reading books by Teddy Roosevelt.

As to your college major which you hoped would land you a six figure job, you will have to read rabidly to actually master the field of your degree. American companies know your degree means nothing, and your head is vastly empty. That is why they won't hire you. You need to now cram in the content the college failed to give you while they were baby sitting you and teaching you political correctness. You cannot fake this one. YOU are the one who will either master the thing or be thrown away as so much rubbish. Big companies are looking back down the road behind you at the next generation, and many of these companies will be recruiting kids out of High School and training them in their company programs. You need to catch up so that you can carry your end of a conversation with someone who might hire you.

So, READ, READ, READ, stupid.

Now, if you played all the way through college, how about forgetting your dream of being hired in the area of your degree? You really are not competent there. Look at your life history, and identify something you like to do. Go see if someone will hire you to do that. Do you like to Bar-B-Que? Fine, go apply for a job at a Bar-B-Que restaurant. Do you like to pound rocks? Great, go apply to work in a gravel pit. See if you can master something from the ground up.

Fifth, get outdoors and inhale the real world. If you live in the city, you must find your way to the country, the forests, down to the sea, or the desert where wild things still walk, swim, or crawl about. If you need some way to explain this to your friends and yourself, buy a shotgun and a hunting license and see if you can shoot some ducks. If you live in a city like Los Angeles of New York City, buy a fishing pole, ask the store owner to help you buy the right fishing tackle, and go out on an ocean pier, all the way to the end, and see what you can catch. If you can find an old timer your grandpa's age who will help you, you will be catching fish in short order. Even if you throw them back..... DO IT, or you will die a piece of boring crud.

Sixth, find a young member of the opposite sex who is on the same quest you are on. See if you can put a friendship together that is not based on kinky sex and roaring. Go do things that begin and end without sex being the main event.

Seventh, have a long session with yourself, and ask yourself what dumb things you do that make you obnoxious to other people and to God. Set a goal of destroying this in your life permanently. This is not to exalt you as better than other people. It is your chance to learn the discipline of becoming a better person by destroying something that drags you down.

Eighth, find a King James Bible, and read the book of Proverbs. Read one chapter every day of the month, and do this for four months. There are 31 chapters in the book. Make an informal list on a piece of paper of things in Proverbs that totally contradict what you were told from Kindergarten to your last year in university. Meditate on this list, and ask yourself why the richest man in his day, Solomon, who was considered the wisest man in his day, believed these things.

Ninth, sing. Millennials do not sing. Many of them have parents who never sing. You may have to sit down alone at a computer, find some old songs from the 1950s that have a real melody (find the ones with lyrics), and sing along. Otherwise, the only people in the modern world who still sing are conservative Christians in their church services. Visit a church that sings from hymn books instead of from a big TV screen. Learn to sing along with them. This is to cure you of thinking you can conquer the world alone. When you sing with people, you have to cooperate with them completely to be part of it. If you think I am crazy, just try it once, and you will realize how little you understand about team spirit and group activities that make you contribute instead of crave attention.

Alright, I admit it, I am messing with your mind. Like I said, 99% of you who read here will cuss me out and click on down the web looking for porn or cops chasing criminals on the freeway. But, if even one of you jack legs will take the red pill, then my life has been fulfilled in some small way.

Ecclesiastes 7:24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
27 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:
28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.


Solomon is talking about the red pill man. And, the red pill man needs a red pill lady on his arm.

TO YOU 99% BLUE PILL JUNKIES, RAGE ON

FIFTY YEARS TOGETHER AND COUNTING.....

This is a very personal post, but some of my readers will appreciate it.

There was a kid in a school for missionary kids in Kenya. In his class was a very pretty girl, and that boy noticed that. As time went by, he developed a secret crush for the pretty girl, but he never told her or anyone else.

There was a young man in college who met a lot of great and lovely Christian girls, but he could not forget the girl from his school days. There were none quite like her.

There was another young man, the brother of the pretty girl, who stopped by the college one day, and said, "If you have any interest for my sister, you need to write her." The best advice I was ever given..... thanks Don.

The young man did write, and he sent Valentine candy, and he called and called and called the pretty girl.

The young man graduated from college, packed all his possessions in his big Dodge, and he headed for Michigan to see what the pretty girl would think.

The day he arrived, the pretty girl took him off to a wedding, and the next Saturday to another wedding. The young man soon realized the pretty girl was in love with him, and he bought her a ring. She is still wearing that ring today.

Tomorrow we will celebrate 50 glorious years in Christ and together. The track has been rough at times, there have been lean years, Army years, missionary years, a Communist coup in Ethiopia, but always we had each other. 

In Christ, we have survived all that came our way, and so has our love.

Proverbs 30:18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

Thank you Elizabeth
