Hello (again?) dear Reader, and welcome to this obscure sliver of American cyberspace, hours before Dawn as I sit typing and drinking coffee alone in a tiny office somewhere near the US/Mexico border in Arizona, USA.

Do you see the image that I posted here before anything else today? Good. Well, I stole the image from the Internet, but added the words myself yesterday (using GIMP software, which is free, but I digress). Anyway, some guy in one of the groups where I posted that made a comment about the babies not being white - I'm like "yeah -who cares about that?!" Honestly! But it's all he could come up with as a mediocre troll-wannabe, so there you have it.
The point that I wish to make here and now is this: How are more people not absolutely horrified that this isn't the top story world-wide, now and until those babies are all found?! (And, no offense to young people, but, to me, if you are 18 years old or under, honey, you ARE a baby in my eyes, and it's not a matter of condescension but more of cherishing and wanting to protect you). Anyway, all of humanity should be outraged by this. We should collectively FLAT REFUSE to pay attention to literally ANYTHING else and demand of our leaders and those satanists posing as journalists in mainstream media to know where the babies are, who's working to find them, what progress is being made, and what severe and decisive punishments will those guilty face? 
THAT is what we SHOULD be doing. 
But NO. NO, we're distracted by all the stupidity they choose to shove down our throats instead: brain-killers like "Signal Gate" for one:

And, hey, look: I'm NOT pointing fingers at everyone else and claiming to be the only one who's obsessed with the missing babies, absolutely not at all and I know that. BUT, what I want to know is WHY there's not MORE uproar about this in general, you see? It looks to me like, the 'higher up' you go (the more money one makes, the more reach one has as in the case of those in media) the less they seem to care about what should be the story of the ages, second to the true story of redemption through Christ.

The entire human-trafficking industry is the work of satan and his loyal followers, full-stop. Everyone who seeks to hide or minimize the story is just as guilty as those who buy the children and abuse them, FULL STOP, but they act as though God will never ever hold them accountable.

So, let's face it. Clearly, we cannot count on (most) humans to do the right thing. Some of us try; we can and should pray, every time it crosses our minds to. 

Lord Jesus, come quickly!
Please, Lord. The babies are counting on You. 

April 1st, 2025 Morning Thoughts and a Prayer

Good morning, et cetera, dear Reader! We find ourselves above ground yet again today - how very wonderful. Right now, I'm almost done with a second cup of coffee in my favorite mug; the turtle had a quiet bath and is now wrapped up and laying with his Daddy with the other creatures in the house peacefully quiet, apparently resting. I can hear the sounds of a not-so-distant highway as life scurries and bustles in apparently-linear fashion. 

I read these and recommend them for you, too:

Psalm 14 ESV 

Proverbs 1 ESV

John 1 ESV

Though consistent with the Book of Proverbs, the rest of my reading very much lacks reason and/or organization. I usually sit quietly and wait for a chapter to 'pop into my mind' or see if any part of a verse comes to mind, et cetera, and read that (as well). It's just my opinion, but I think it's all good, as long as you're searching, as long as you're trying.

Tomorrow is going to be a big day, geopolitically speaking. For right now, though, my heart is still preoccupied with: God needs to end all human trafficking and all war. I pray that He just vaporizes that entire industry, I pray that it crumbles into non-existence, in Jesus' Name, amen! 
Also: war (Lord, please replace all current conflicts with Your Peace, God, in Jesus' Name). Also, God, either change the Ukrainian president's heart or take him out, God, but either way, please do not allow him to perpetuate war any longer. God, please wholly neutralize him as the driving force in that war, God, and please do it quickly! in Jesus' Name, amen.

Also, Father God, please give Terry and I what we need as humans today to accomplish the tasks you have set before us, God. Please use us as You see fit, God, today and always, in Jesus' Name.
Lord, please touch and bless each of our family and friends today, God, no matter where they are on the globe. Please protect them and fill each of their hearts with Your Love, God! Please reveal Yourself this day to those who have not known You before, God, and we give You praise! In Jesus' Name.

God, please deliver every human captive out of bondage by the power of Your holy spirit today, God, in Jesus' Name! Please surround and empower President Trump and all who serve under and/or surround him God, and protect them each and all from every form of attack, God, in Jesus' Name, amen! 

2025: the last day of March

Hello, dear Reader, and welcome (back?) to this small, American sliver of cyberspace; may God smile on you this very moment (and always! Why not?) 

Today, the three of us (Terry, Freedom Turtle, and me) went and obtained some more of his favorite large earthworms and he was happy to even eat one in the car before we all came back home. Right now it's a few minutes past eight o'clock in the evening; the Sun hasn't been 'down' for that long as I hammer out these words, wearing a nightgown, hair down, makeup off - ready for rest tonight in preparation for a more vigorous day of activity tomorrow.
Today? That was easy. 

It's been hours since I read it myself, but here is today's Proverb (one of my very favorites, especially verses 8 & 9):

Proverbs 31 ESV

I cannot deny the truth when it's so obvious, clear, apparent, frank, to the point, and so very easy to understand (as in the excellent example of God's holy Word, the Scriptures). It (the Bible) is indeed "living and active". 

Don't (just, blindly) believe me, though; (read it a bit) and see for yourselves. Prove me wrong, go ahead. All I ask is that you put true, repeated effort in a dedicated, genuine need to discredit me. 😏 Yeah, show me! Go ahead. 

Well, right now I'm going to write a prayer for what strike me as some pretty big needs at the moment - feel free to agree if you like:

Dear Lord, thank You for yet another beautiful day full of blessings, starting with Life that no one was promised and that not one of us deserved, God. Thank You. Please let us wake up again tomorrow, Lord God. Father, we lift up our friends and family to You all the way to the most casual acquaintance, God, and ask for You to move in and through each of them in a new way today, God, and we thank You, Lord. Please heal the sick, encourage the fearful, strengthen the weak, give clarity to the ones searching for Your Truth, God, please save souls this day, Lord, to the glory of Your Name! Please protect all godly leaders across the globe, Lord God, protecting each of them and everyone who surrounds each of them, God, in Jesus' Name. Please expose any traitors in safe and undeniable ways as You protect them and imbue them each with the ability to do Your Will, God, in Jesus' Name. 
Lord, we ask You to please set every captive free across the globe, God, in Jesus' Name. Please reveal and liberate every single human being, every child, God, who is currently a victim of the human trafficking industry. God we ask You to please destroy that entire industry globally and bring the workers to their knees before You, God. Please turn that industry into nothing more than a memory, let it become like the dust of the desert, God, in Jesus' Name, please. 
And Father God, we ask for You to please show Yourself merciful to the people in Myanmar following the massive earthquake they recently experienced, God. Please save every survivor according to Your will, God. Please imbue everyone working to rescue others with emotional, mental, and physical strength, God, and prepare each of their hearts for the things they will each likely see; we can only imagine, Lord. Anyway, we ask You to save the soul of every human being who hears or reads these words, God, in Jesus' Name! And, please answer the prayers we forgot asking further that, above all we want or ask that Your will is done, in Jesus' Name. Amen. 💘

Saturday, March 19th, 2025 - So Will I ❤️

 Good morning, et cetera, dear Reader! 

Welcome to this obscure American blog (again, if applicable)! Even though the Sun has yet to rise and it's otherwise silent, I now have this playing on full volume:

Music in general (but moreso praise and worship music) is alive, fully living and active and never, ever 'gets old' for me, kind of like favorite movies (the few that I've already seen and will watch from time to time, though rarely). 
Here is today's portion from the Book of Wisdom:

Proverbs 29 ESV

And, further reading, today from the New Testament:

2 Corinthians 5 ESV

Here are some of the verses that stand-out to me today (but which ones resonate for you today, dear Reader?):

I pray for you, dear Reader, that God meets you at the very point of your greatest need for Him and that He change you inside and out to the glory of His Name, in Jesus' Name, amen. 
Please also pray for me to become more like Jesus, increasing in gentleness and compassion as well as true strength and more growth in the ultimate powers of humility and forgiveness. Oh to be like Him some day! 

Thank you for these minutes of your time today, dear Reader, I really appreciate the eternal investment. May God bless all whose eyes read these words, now and always, in Jesus' Name, amen.

💜

Friday, March 28th, 2025 - Evening

Greetings and salutations, dear Reader, and welcome to this obscure American blog (again, if applicable) on a warm late-Spring evening in the Northern Hemisphere where the following video is playing in the background ever so softly, the only other sounds being an oscillating fan and the clicking sound of my typing:

This video (all of those long-running, soothing videos, in fact) - it's just fantastic; we love it and use it quite a bit, since we often don't want anything that demands full attention or competes with our conversations. And it's also nice to leave playing for the pets to enjoy when he and I leave the house so that the non-human family members don't have to sit alone in silence while they wait for us to return home. 

Today was busy and we got quite a bit done with much, much more to do until the current task is finished (the task of moving to another home, that is). It's no secret though I haven't exactly been advertising the fact, either; simply put, it's closer to town, costs literally exponentially less, and we will have the freedom to do as we damn-well please with the outdoor spaces adjacent to home as all humans do when not otherwise stifled. We're more than happy to put our money towards those who deserve it, rather than those who steal from and oppress the poor which, as I understand it IS a one-way ticket straight to Hell, but I digress.

And that's literally all that I have to say about that, for now; the way that we are treated from this moment and up until the last one that we are here will determine how (if at all) I speak about this place, the people here, and what really goes on around here after our move is complete. But that is wholly dependent upon those in charge here, based wholly on how this venture ends and how Terry and I are treated, so we'll see and I will do nothing more or less than tell the truth. 
Anyway... 

This morning I did at least read and listen to the day's Proverb and will post that here for you as well:

Proverbs 28 ESV

Today's stand-out verse for me is this one:

And, maybe you don't, dear Reader, but I, for one, have to be reminded of this truth frequently and even then I must be reminded some more and again! Note also that elsewhere in the Proverbs we are admonished to trust Him with all of our hearts, leaning not unto our own understanding, noting the critical distinction between the two words which were deliberately chosen in each case and with deep, excellent reasoning.

I have one idea that could immediately stop the Ukraine/Russia war, but have no safe, private, legal channel for making the idea known to the higher-ups in our government, so I will just continue to pray that God give our leaders this same idea (as the one in my mind) and will leave that at that. Suffice it to say, that ultimately, all I want for everyone is peace; way, way too many people have already died; enough is enough. Who cares what the history between them is at this point when those ideals continue to result in the needless shedding of human blood and for what? Like Elon Musk pointed out in a televised interview last night, the battle lines haven't moved in two years - so WHY do people have to keep dying?! Anyway: we now have nuclear warheads. So, yeah, we need to do all that we can as human beings to end war, globally. Any reasonable person knows this, irrespective of (political, ideological, theological) beliefs.

Thank you for spending some minutes of your time here, dear Reader; be bold in integrity, you won't regret it. Take care. 💘

March 27th, 2025 💜

Hello, dear Reader, and welcome to yet another day on this side of the Grave. It's a beautiful, dark morning in the American southwest, with only the sound of one large fan creating a soothing hum gently replacing the pre-Dawn silence. 
Today is the 27th day of the month, so here is the 27th Proverb:

Proverbs 27 ESV

And, because this came to mind:

Psalm 112 ESV

I haven't been very 'righteous' for several consecutive days now, ever since something bad happened (don't look for me to go into detail other than to say that someone stole some expensive item from us and we cannot afford to replace it... but we need it). Anyway. God sees and how He's allowing it to all happen is something that I might never understand - not that it's mine to 'understand', either. The way these damned emotions affect me = no offense, God, but sometimes it sucks to be human. 
There, I said it.
Anyway, here is one article to try and help with this situation of my anger. 

I pray that the Lord will give us the energy we need today and for the next few days as we accomplish good things. 😃

Here is the current weather and forecast:

And, some memes that I found yesterday:

😂

I hope those amuse you like they amuse me! I'm smiling now and very happy. It's a new day, I'm on THIS side of Sheol, breathing in and out. God is so very, very good even though the rest (Creation; everything else) can be downright questionable at times.

💟

blog #1 3-25-2025

Hello; greetings and salutations on another fine day above ground, dear Reader, and welcome. 

Proverbs 25 ESV

Well, goodbye Spring. Here, we enjoyed all ten days of it this year; today's high is supposed to reach 86F so, yeah, Spring is GONE.

But our case is no different from yours, dear Reader: it all depends wholly upon where you find yourself on Planet Earth, much of which is covered with snow at this very moment - just not the part where we're located. 😎👍

💚
