I Published My Book

I recently self published my first book, and I posted this to FreeRepublic out of respect for
the many FReepers who have been part of my growth, which has led to my ability to write.

I've been a Freeper for 25 years come February 20, 2023, and I must admit my knowledge and understanding of things has been immensely effected by the many great minds who are part of that great forum. Whether it's about politics, science, history, or religion, FreeRepublic has been to me, what many Colleges used to be. I have witnessed many a great mind debate other great minds, and I have also witnessed my share of knock down, drag out, leave no prisoner, fights between Freepers who would die on their cross of beliefs. Probably the biggest was the battle of the long-knives. This is not an insult, but rather a compliment to the way that forum has truly effected me, and many like me, in our understanding of the world throughout the last 25 years.

Thoughts I Get While Reading The Word

Reading through Genesis this morning, it just struck me, the first ever mega apartment complex was probably the Ark. think about it. After the flood, and when all the animals were released, Noah had a nice huge place fir all his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren and their families to live.

Things like this pop into my hard as I read. This is the third time I have started reading the Bible this year. I finished it twice, and with a Month left in the year I am blessed to be able to read Genesis and Matthew 3 times this year.

Do yourself a favor, set a goal to try and read the Bible from cover to cover next year. You don’t have to do as me, but at least attempt to read it through. You will be surprised about the things God inspires you to consider. Logical sensible thoughts that make you think.

HE will reveal nuggets of spiritual gold you never before considered, but were in the Scriotures all along. Things you will find that you never realized before.

As for me, I read a Proverb a day, and 3 Psalms a day. With 30-31 days in the Month, even if you miss a day, at least try to read the Proverb that corresponds with the day of the Month. Then if you add 5 Psalms a day, you will build a habit that will last a lifetime.

I go through the book of Proverbs and the book of Psalms once a Month. Been doing this for the better part of 18 years since Pastor Bud Chavous, the mens Pastor at Calvary Chapel Chico told me he does it back in 2004. I’ll let you do the math on how many times I read Proverbs and Psalms. Along with my daily reading of other Scriptures, I never miss a day with our Lord.

Along with my normal studies, the Holy Spirit impressed upon my heart things I never thought I would know.

Do your soul a favor, and read the Bible all the way through next year, I promise that the Lover of your Soul, YAHWEH, will speak to your heart and you will gain wisdom and knowledge on things you never knew you could. And most of all, you will be blessed with the understanding you have always wanted to have.
