I Work For God! Chapter One by Jerry Lombardo

I Work For God! By Jerry Lombardo

 

Chapter One

 

            I considered myself a thoughtful, logical and methodical man. Events in my life had me sad, angry, and broken – seeming beyond repair and yet, here I was – studying and learning the Word of God; researching tirelessly the origins of ‘religions’ and the differences – and (I thought) more importantly – What They Had In Common! [because none made sense to me on their own].

 

             I’d read the Koran, Old Testament, studied what it meant to be Jewish – the different kinds of Jews, differences between Protestants, Presbyterians, and CatholicsJust what is a Presbyterian?  I looked into Astronomy, Satanism, re-read works of different philosophers …, checked out Free Masons, even researched secret societies past presidents have been members of … what religions they practiced … on and on and on.

 

            Most recently, I’d been studying under a man – an old ex-Marine – Pastor Arnold Murray from Gravette Arkansas and he’d opened my eyes to so much.

 

            From a sad and angry young man, now aged 40 … I’d begun  healing from so much bad and chaos in the world that had been laid at my feet since the very beginning of my troubled life.

 

My appetite and desire to learn The Truth was enormous (and continues to be), voracious, and insatiable. I was questioning the questions and investing good time working to discern answers for myself – that I might find my own direction within God’s Word and His Will.

 

Life was better than it ever had been.

 

End Chapter One

It has been said that life has treated me harshly – Helen Keller

It has been said that life has treated me harshly; and sometimes I have complained in my heart because many pleasures of human experience have been withheld from me, but when I recollect the treasure of friendship that has been bestowed upon me I withdraw all charges against life. If much has been denied me, much, very much has been given me. So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart I shall say that life is good.

Helen Keller

This is one of those rare instances where I am right… and the whole world is wrong!

Privacy, free choice, free will … freedom itself – was never a luxury in this great country.
However, today, these things simply don’t exist … and, really, that is not a good state for any human, in any country. 

And as the oppressive nature of the lack of privacy rises to the levels it is today … there is something innately evil in the trend – and in the system – that steals it from us.
What jars my thinking and sensibilities is how easily the very foolish people around the world … gave it up (free will, free choice, privacy). It baffles me.
Some say ‘well, I have nothing to hide, so  I don’t care’ and they give up the details of their most intimate and private lives … for the shiny colors of technology. 
The desire, the aim, of Google, Microsoft, Meta, … is not to bless us with free, fancy, and useful tools! Yes, they provide (and push on us) … thousands of ‘free’ tools … they work great … but each one brings us closer to a world that is an abomination to God Himself.
If only people knew … or better yet, if only they cared.
If only we all knew; but so many people are just sleepwalking through chaos in the world, each day, and every day. 
A friend or two surely thinks I am crazy or even paranoid. I almost wish that was it.
 
It’s not.
I’m a sane, clear thinking man … and I see; i just don’t understand how or why so many others do not. They say the words almost as if It’s a joke, … just a popular social reference in a time when no one seems to care.  “1984”. “Big Brother”. Etc. Science fiction.
It’s not though and it’s no joke. I say ‘the sky is falling’ … and sadly, it is the truth.
In the last few hundred years, powers and principalities converged and technology grew beyond the human capacities of most of the common man.
Now you can acuse me of ‘crazy’ and I’ll just take it in stride. Even so, I declare without personal doubt … that this tech came from a super natural, super human, origin. Men didn’t make these technological strides in any natural way. No doubt.
No. Nope. No way.
 
I’ve given it a lot of thought… for 5000 plus years – we had … zero electrically based technology. None. Not even a lightbulb… and then in a hundred or so years… we have airplanes and rocket ships… and atomic energy (and bombs).
Why don’t people at least scratch their heads and wonder how that happened!? Or why?
5000 years… and nothing but natural human growth and society. And, suddenly, in a few hundred years … the entire world … changed. And, really, not for the better.
Anyway, my own personal conclusion is that it is in fact – super natural.
For me, in my narrow view and experience on this earth; from scripture of all flavors …that means to me that all this ‘magical’ stuff …either came from Good or Evil. God or Satan (God our Creator and Heavenly Father or Satan, who has many names).
In my mind, when I do the math … it is one or the other. Black or white.
Some religious scholars say … it is of God … and it will bring forth the Millennium and the return of our Savior, we call Jesus Christ. I say … probably so … but hell on earth for humanity will come first! (I read the Book … I know how it ends and it’s going to get so much worse before it gets better.
And so many believe, in faithful ways,  that we use it to do good – even as its evil design seems to entrap us … which to me, is an awful trusting position – too trusting for my taste. 
The system that has been, and continues to be, built – is an abomination to human dignity and human character … i don’t see how it can be from God, I just don’t.
The system? What do some call it? One World System? A New World Order? 
Order under who? It is surely not ‘under God’. Nope.
All this is not going to favor the humanity of the coming generations … it will enslave our children in a manner some cannot imagine … every bit and more – than  even the ‘best’ of the most hellish Science Fiction.
Nope, I don’t get it.  Nor do understand why so many don’t see what I see. 
I don’t understand why so many men – simply don’t understand. 
Shut our eyes? Close our minds? Live and be merry? I don’t get it. That, to me, is the science fiction. 
Men I know are not that foolish, nor am I … . 
So, I exercise some faith of my own … God, our true spiritual Father, the Creator of all things, will make it right … He will Right it all… but what do we do in the mean time?
How do we help keep the coming generations safe?
Quite frankly, I don’t know. 
I believe God knows; and that He leads me to do whatever my little part might be … I speak truth and I help in loving ways those He places in my paths.
It’s  all I can do. 
I urge you to know, please, to know for sure … I’m not paranoid, nor crazy. in fact, this is one of those rare instances where I am right… and the whole world is wrong.
I’m Just Sayin’ … .

God wants us to be us

Getting old is challenging …

But – getting old has some really special benefits – and in some ways, it’s a privilege. As I age, I progress… and as I progress – as I live the Commandments – I understand much so more in a spiritual sense – and enjoy to share that personal spiritual revelation is real.

So, first, I know God Loves me and God knows me. He absolutely can predict – can know – how I will act in any given circumstance or situation He cares to place me in. He knows ME.

So, not only does He know & Love me – He is involved in my daily life in ways that are difficult to convey at times – but I testify that He does lead me – from time to time, into circumstances that will help me or another – to progress in His Will.

I testify that in those times, my Father wants, desires, trusts in me to be me – to be the man He knows me to be .. in any given circumstance or situation at the time  ...  and so, sometimes, I don’t really apologize when Jerry acts like Jerry …

At the end of the day I am trying my best to serve our Father in Heaven – as best I can – whom I love as much as He loves me.

So, sometimes, God wants us to be us – as best we can – in the places He plants us… and I testify that He does plant us.

I’m Just Sayin’ … . by Jerry Lombardo

‘Somebody’s Just Got To Do Something’

In years long past, I’d come upon a situation or circumstance and think…  Someone should do something about that … and, in years past, sometimes, I’d move on.

Over time, the lesson that followed for me … was that that “someone” … that someone…. ? Well, I began to understand that that someone was me!

I learned that when God touched my heart like that – He was asking me to be that someone. And, I admit, at times, the odds seemed overwhelmingly … against my having any impact whatsoever.

If in my heart, today, if I am ever feeling that ‘someone’ has to do something … and the odds have me feeling helpless … I ask if it be right in Gods eye that this thing be done … and if the answer is yes … then I set out to do it…

… and, if it is indeed The will of our Father … it will get done; and the odds? The odds are meaningless …

And, the odds are meaningless because odds are for men and Women of the world and we are not men and women of the world … …we are men and women of Faith; and Faith overcomes any odds when we act in our Fathers will….

That’s my testimony.

In the name of Jesus Christ

The light in their eyes

The light in their eyes James E. Faust

“I recently recalled a historic meeting in Jerusalem about 17 years ago. It was regarding the lease for the land on which the Brigham Young University’s Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies was later built. Before this lease could be signed, President Ezra Taft Benson and Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, then president of Brigham Young University, agreed with the Israeli government on behalf of the Church and the university not to proselyte in Israel. You might wonder why we agreed not to proselyte. We were required to do so in order to get the building permit to build that magnificent building which stands in the historic city of Jerusalem. To our knowledge the Church and BYU have scrupulously and honorably kept that non-proselyting commitment. After the lease had been signed, one of our friends insightfully remarked, ‘Oh, we know that you are not going to proselyte, but what are you going to do about the light that is in their eyes?’ He was referring to our students who were studying in Israel.

 

What was that light in their eyes which was so obvious to our friend? The Lord Himself gives the answer: ‘And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings.’ (D&C 88:11) Where did that light come from? Again the Lord gives the answer: ‘I am the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world.’ (D&C 93:2) The Lord is the true light, ‘and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.’ (D&C 84:46) This light shows in our countenances as well as in our eyes.

Paul Harvey, a famous news commentator, visited one of our Church school campuses some years ago. Later he observed: ‘Each … young face mirrored a sort of … sublime assurance. These days many young eyes are prematurely old from countless compromises with conscience. But [these young people] have that enviable headstart which derives from discipline, dedication, and consecration.’

Those who truly repent receive the Spirit of Christ and are baptized into this Church unto the remission of their sins. Hands are laid upon their heads, and through the priesthood of God they receive the Holy Ghost. It is ‘the gift of God unto all those who diligently seek him.’(1 Ne. 10:17) As Elder Parley P. Pratt characterized it, the gift of the Holy Ghost is, “as it were, … joy to the heart, [and] light to the eyes.”

What are we doing to keep the light shining in our own eyes and countenances? Much of that light comes from our discipline, dedication, and consecration to some important absolutes. The foremost of these absolutes is that there is a God who is the Father of our souls to whom we account for our actions. Second, that Jesus is the Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Third, that the great plan of happiness requires obedience to God’s commandments. Fourth, that the greatest gift of God is eternal life.

Service in this Church is a marvelous blessing and privilege that brings light to our eyes and our countenances. As the Savior recommended, ‘Let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.’ (3 Nephi 12:16)  Words cannot express the blessings that come to us through service in this Church. The Lord promises that if we magnify our callings we will find happiness and joy.

Alma asks if we have received His image in our countenances. (Alma 5:14) A sacred light comes to our eyes and countenances when we have a personal bond with our loving Heavenly Father and His Son, our Savior and Redeemer. With this bond our faces will mirror that ‘sublime assurance’ that He lives.”

Religion, Faith, Freedom … is under attack

 

In the headlines …  The Catholic Hospital System in Oklahoma and a Candle…

It’s Not about a Candle!

Religion, Faith, Freedom – in this country – … is under attack.

What if the Hospital simply laid down and said ‘ok’ … ‘you win’ … no candle? It’s just a candle … .

It’s not about the Candle.

We, people of faith – must stand our ground – on issues that would have seemed laughable just a few years ago.

Religion, Faith, Freedom … is under attack.

I am grateful for the administrators of the Catholic hospital system in Oklahoma.

Thank you!

Could Russia or China stop the USA from taking Cuba if we decided it was ours to take?

Could Russia or China stop the USA from taking Cuba if we decided it was ours to take?

That is to say – could they stop the USA without a full-fledged inter-continental war?

Of course not – not if the powers that be in the USA were determined.

The time to stop the Ukraine War has come and passed.

To allow it to continue is a travesty to all that good people hold dear.

This is not a battle that Ukraine can ‘win’.

Literally countless human lives taken, generations destroyed – so many thousands of precious men, women, and children suffered and died horrible, unnecessary, violent deaths.

So much destruction it pushes beyond my own comprehension.

Yes, Putin is a maniac but a very calculating and determined man who has no care nor regret when it comes to factoring in the loss of human life and misery; Its clearly not a factor that deters him.

Our own powers that be – here in the US and in NATO – knew from day one that short of our [USA/NATO] going to war with Russia – there was no way to stop Putin from taking a slice of Ukraine. Period.

President Biden said it out loud.

It ought have ended then but he’s a weak President with too many self interests – and surrounded by too many interests of those who put and keep him in power – so the war began, and, the war continues.

Shame on them all.

Except the poor Ukrainian and Russian peoples! May God keep, protect, and comfort every one.

I weep for the great losses and pains of so many – pain which will go on for many generations to come – even long after the war ends… .

Some days, and not for my own sake, I do find myself praying for ‘the Kingdom to come’ … to come.

I’m just Sayin’ … .

Fifth Column – follow up .

Fifth Column – follow up …

The Fifth Column I wrote of … is the Government … and more specifically – a group within the Democratic Party and or Deep State whom today controls most of the government. [Aug 2023]

I remain faithful to our Savior who is more powerful … even than them. You may know Egypt tried this over 2500 years ago … thought they could overcome Jehovah and Israel with their control, riches, power, and numbers … .

We all know what happened there and then.

I’m Just Sayin’ … .

Are you kidding me? Is this a parody?

This is a statement attached to a story that really strikes me as treasonous on its face when one puts it in context of this Presidents’ relationship with China.

“The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two boxcars full of spy equipment in it is he didn’t know it was there,” Biden reportedly said on Tuesday. “No, I’m serious. That’s a great embarrassment for dictators when they didn’t know what happened.”

How can anyone not recognize this, in this mix of current affairs, as what some are calling A China Talking Point? How can anyone not discern the dynamics here? This, I’m Just Saying, is ‘cover’ for Jinping.

China made statements Wednesday, saying that Biden’s comments “severely infringe on China’s political dignity.”

Are you kidding me? Is this a parody? Are people in the world really this stupid? [“No”, that’s what’s scary].

Some in our government are groveling, and worse; plus, it seems political watchers and talking heads aren’t calling it out for what it is … . I don’t get it. Stories are in full bloom to cover the stink … blundering Joe again shoots his mouth off about sensitive material …, they chide.

But they know it ain’t so; …  both sides – conservative and liberal .. what’s going on … ?

To me, this is really scary – more than the daily level of chaos in the headlines of current affairs.

Any biological father has the right to stop the abortion of his child. Period.

Abortion – The Power of Language and Lies

‘The Right To Choose’

‘My Body – My Choice’

‘Abortion is The Woman’s Choice’

Those declarations are a fallacy. They are lies; but they are lies that seem to have some logic behind them because they are ‘half truths’ and thus, those in desperate circumstances … are fooled.

These half truths omit an essential part of the equation – that there are two bodies – two people (actually three!) involved in any abortion [and] tragically in an abortion, the person who cannot speak or fight for him or herself is silenced forever.

The half truths omit – overlook almost entirely – that there are TWO PARENTS involved in any abortion decision and a biological father has the right to stop the abortion of his child.

Sad fact of life:

The Father, at least in NYS, has no right, no power, no recourse in any abortion decision. If any woman wants an abortion – at any time in the pregnancy – they can independently give up the life of the child. Fathers have no rights in the matter. What happened to Equal Rights?

This is an atrocity.

I think it’s time for such a case to be recognized and quickly taken up the court system to the Supreme Court Of the United States.

Any biological father has the right to stop the abortion of his child. Period.

It’s time the law caught up to the times.

 

I’m Just Sayin’ … .

I don’t know anything about ‘hashtags’ … someone out there please make one … Any biological father has the right to stop the abortion of his child.

What if they truly believed they could weaken the strongest, free, Nations of The World?

What if Chinas’ Leader(s) made a considered choice to loose COVID19 on the world?

What if the event was a considered act on behalf of the Chinas’ CCP or President Xi and a few close to him in some desire to restructure and dominate the Worlds as we knew it? Control its resources and peoples?

What if they took the action believing that their government could absorb the human cost of such a pandemic? [Relative to the unbelievable damage done to US and other Free Economy Countries]?

What if they truly believed they could weaken the strongest, free, Nations of The World? Especially the USA? Would they take such a calculated risk?

I think wise men and women would, at least, ask the questions.

Some might quickly say ‘the Chinese President wouldn’t risk his life, the lives of his own family.

What if they had vaccines or therapeutics before the virus ‘got out’? What if they quietly did testing – just to accommodate a few and insure safety for a few?

I know that reads like an adventure fiction novel – but what if it were true?

The virus was extremely selective [I still say on purpose] – what Xi believed he was safe?

Did any top China leadership get sick from the virus?

Likely we’d not know one way or another but, in retrospect, it’s a fair question.

We are still reeling from all this; there is much to learn but we better wake up and not in the ‘woke’ way in the headlines. Friends, … this single act – a simple flu virus with a tweak – tipped … changed the very balance and power of the world. [Paired with other strategic, carefully executed, moves over years].

What if CHINA, and not Russia, deeply influenced the politics of this nation in this last decade(s)?

 What if COVID19 really was a very strategic step toward some maniacal desire to rule the world? What if it was a trial run?

Hey, I’m just asking the questions. The thought of a Billion Chinese coming to war with America … is chilling. We’ve gotten old, and fat, and stupid … and, we forget how precious both this country and freedom is … we forget how much these maniacs have to gain and how much we have to lose [shame on us!].

GREAT THINGS HAPPEN ONE STEP AT A TIME

Great Things Happen One Step At A Time.

Forgive this most unexciting recommendation … I do write from my heart when impressed to and this is one of those instances when an idea continues to be present in my heart and my thinking – even if it seems ‘trivial’.

I will likely be snickered at again for posting this idea; I posted it similarly – a few years back. It has to do with something many of you can relate to – be it in your own life experience – or by the experience you observe in the life of a friend or family member. Considering the chaos in the world today – indeed it is a small matter; and yet, it seems there is value in changing it … because we can [and ought to].

PRESCRIPTION BOTTLES – Dozens and even Tens of Dozens – large and small plastic bottles here, there, and everywhere …  in most every home in America – and more and more come each month!

WHAT A WASTE!

It seems a trivial matter – and yet, I beg you consider just how many of these bottles are choking our environment – plastics that are really, really, really harsh and bad for us, and for the Earth.

The millions and millions [and my own many dozens] a year – will surely out last me – choking landfills and our oceans – hurting, even very literally, our precious wild life and eco systems  … and so needlessly; not to mention the disgusting waste and harm in the manufacturing processes.

One single leader and forward thinking man or woman – cause a shift – EASILY – and help us move to a more sustainable, eco friendly, model where we use and reuse GLASS Rx Bottles.

Look, it won’t change the world – but it sure will help and maybe even begin a trend. Why not? Look what was achieved in NYS and other states with Disposable Plastic Grocery Bags!!!! [some say ‘silly’]

The politics were miserable … some stores even ridiculously had to have us reach into our pockets to pay a nickel or dime per bag – for good old fashioned brown paper bags … Even so, it was the better way to go … and, we adjusted.

I love that animals, fish, and the Earth in general are not choking on all those bags – even my grocery bags – any longer.

Let’s stop tossing millions and millions of Rx Plastic Bottles in the trash!

Yes, only a small part of the problem – but great things happen one step at a time.

Thanks for Stopping By …

As I begin this endeavor, I declare that there are absolute truths; and I say that in direct response to some who smile and snicker as they would have the world believe that we [men and women of faith from all religions] are crazy – opposite their ‘make it up as we go along’ logic …situational ethics … and ‘anything goes if it feels good’ – lifestyles. Too many say ‘we don’t want, need, or believe in God’; I say He has been with us from Adam through today, and, that He led good men and women to found and build this great country. I believe He lives, leads, and guides us, and it, in our endeavors … if we have faith.

I Am,

and,

I Am Already Here…By Gerald Lombardo

Hollywood is selling homosexuality [and ‘transgenderism’].

Hollywood is selling homosexuality [and ‘transgenderism’].

 

Yes, Hollywood is selling homosexuality; and this other madness called, for lack of another term – ‘transgenderism’.

 

I was so grateful to learn that some States are finally making it criminal for adults to do this to children. It is criminal. It is child abuse. It seems to have taken our country forever to see what is happening. I have been way out front on these issues and writing of them for well over a decade.

 

Some say Hollywood, in the early days, sold sex, drugs, and rock and roll. In a way, I suppose that’s true. In the early days though, remember it was *mostly alcohol and tobacco – and they were very successful at it.

*I know it was more; they influenced – maybe especially – women … beyond using alcohol and tobacco – they set the fashion standards –  high heels, lipstick, face makeup – even promiscuity [for men and women]. Hollywood set the norm for millions and millions.

 

They portrayed lies – and we all watched our TV’s, listened to the radios … and we were convinced, without ever thinking about it, that every one – smoked cigars, cigarettes, pipes … and drank whisky, wine and beer and ‘everyone’ had sex before marriage. 

 

America saw it on TV – every day – and the use of those things  increased astronomically! Kids, younger and younger, believed the lies they saw in front of their faces in movies, on TV, Magazines, and Radio.

 

What do you suppose happened?

 

Yes, of course, more kids [and more adults too!] drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes and experimented with sex at younger and younger ages. ‘Good Ole’ Madison Avenue Salesmanship – polluted the entire social landscape.

 

Yes, Hollywood sold sex, alcohol, and tobacco – and set the social standards that replaced our own moral judgment.

 

Now, it’s selling homosexuality and this evil minded transgenderism.

 

And, now – it’s not only Hollywood – it is Hollywood and The Media. And again, make no mistake – they are selling it and having generations of kids believe that ‘everyone’ has people who live those lives, espouse those beliefs – living next door or upstairs. We are brainwashed to believe lies are truths.

 

The powers that be would have us believe these and other behaviors are NORMALeveryone is like this AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO.

[I need to add for those who don’t know me that I’ve nothing against people choosing who they wish to be – but don’t push it on me, or our children, or others. Period.]

 

Our kids don’t know better – they’re kids … and they are being brainwashed in plain sight.

 

Years ago, many people of various Religions – people who believe in, and have faith in, a biblical God – turned to home schooling.

 

Generations of young children were taught at home and were spared the perils of public education.

 

Today, public schools are worse; the problem is not just a small slant on education – it is, in the true sense of the word, Indoctrination.

 

Generations of our children are being brainwashed.

 

I am grateful that parents are beginning to wake up and see the dangers – parents all over the country are taking on public school boards and teachers to stop the runaway – absolutely blatant and runaway brainwashing of our precious children.

 

It’s not enough.

 

I think it’s mostly a lost cause [trying to take back public schools]. I hope I am wrong – I received an excellent education through grade 6 of the NYC Public School System. PS 90. [Then politics caused forced busing, rioting in the streets – we lost King and Kennedy].  I think people should be able to pay their school taxes to the schools of their choice but I am not a politician.

 

Not every family can Home School – but if you can – it may be worth a family discussion to consider Home Schooling.

 

The facts are not comforting when it comes to our Public Schools. In insidious ways, agenda driven people – one individual at a time – are working very hard to change outcomes – to bend all to their narrow and twisted views as they work to change the foundation of the Country [to the detriment of us all].

 

Not widespread conspiracy – as some assumed – to steal an election for example – but individuals – each with the same agenda – acting ‘independently’ and yet … genuinely in concert. That’s for another discussion.

 

Even so, the result on the landscape of our cities and towns is the same. The end result is no different than as if this group acted together – in a conspiracy. In reality, however, they act individually – breaking the rules to achieve the collective agenda.

[And, a sizable portion of it adds up to tilting perceptions and changing the way our children think and view the world].

 

Flash Cards here, a Vote there, a series of children’s books, games, toys …an early morning tv show … some people here who overlook this,  some there who enforce that here but not there … . It may not be a legal conspiracy …but it is a conspiracy [of evil].

 

That result? The messages get to our kids (and adults as well).

 

Take a look at the image below and the few paragraphs.  These are what prompted this post. They are a small and simple example. The radical ideas in the headline(s) may not be in the official guidelines or charters of these schools – we may ‘technically’ … legally – have a few materials banned … but then here comes some of those individuals I referred to … and they use methods and agenda’s – as individuals but in quiet cahoots with other evil minded individuals – in examples like this:

LGBT themed cards a preschool teacher was using to teach kids colors (NC State Rep. Tim Moore)

lgbtcards_1280x720.png

A NC state representative said a concerned constituent emailed her about the cards that were being used to teach preschoolers colors. The State Rep – Erin Pare contacted the principal of the elementary school to verify the use of the cards in class. 

 

The principal located the cards in the preschool classroom and verified with the teacher that they had been used to teach colors.

When I look at that image on the left  – I don’t see ‘a pregnant man’. Men can’t be pregnant.

 

I don’t see a pregnant man but I don’t see (the color) ‘White’ either.  [I am an odd bird]. What of a child though? What does a child learn from these subtle cues? What is the subliminal message – and the direct message?

 

This is just the tip of the iceberg. People of this agenda have found their ways into the foundations of this great country. Discrimination laws made it easy – those national anti-discrimination laws changed the landscape of the country.

 

People of minority views – people in the very low percentages by numbers in our populations …became OVER represented in the halls of power and began [with Media] to influence … the moral standards of our Country [and even the world].

Those with these agenda’s have influence via the classrooms – from Kindergarten through the University years – plus they control opinions across all Media platforms – and they are ensconced in all forms of government.

 

It’s hard to believe so small a number of people hood winked an entire country. Today, the tail does wags the dog.

 

In a conversation with my Bishop, loosely about the speed of the rate of the decay in society, the rocket path of rising chaos in the world –  we agreed is unprecedented,

 

He referred to Scripture. I smiled, as did he, when the conversation took a turn … we both agreed too … that ‘we read the book‘; we know how it all comes out.

 

We win.

My friends negative regard for refugee programs

Blaming the Victims?

My friend used to talk often in a very negative regard about refugees, immigrants, … and the amounts of money and resources our governments spend, year after year, decade after decade, on that population.

Indeed, it [the government] brings in poor people and plugs them into a system – this massive, fully funded, system – that lifts them, changes their lives in the long-term.

They literally import(ed) poor people, lift(ed) them, fund(ed) them – providing each man, woman, and child their shot at the American Dream … while seemingly turning a blind eye to our poverty stricken neighborhoods and populations.

I still remember thinking he [and others] were not being reasonable. I had an argument which suggested that African Americans refuse(d) to assimilate (true, but not a cause) – and so, it was their own fault, I suggested. I blamed the victim.

The families didn’t, and do not, benefit from welfare, free food, medical, free housing, free phones … it was the wrong approach, it was the wrong answer. We (our governments) crippled generations of families.

Make no mistake, the result of slavery, civil war, welfare … is a horrid mess…and it remains an imbalance that screams for someone to finally bring change to a sad and sinful reality in our country.

The Government provides ongoing – in long term, expensive, and institutional ways – for these refugee and immigrant populations; and has, for generations.

We ‘import’ millions of people while Federal, state, or local governments never ever moved to support, educate, lift and change – in long term and permanent ways – our populations of ‘African Americans’.

I couldn’t see or understand the depth of his feelings and resentments …  as he complained that generation after generation of immigrants, refugees, … wind up with genuine new starts in America – each that American Dream!

I never understood my friend; today, I do.

I know I over simplify ..but I am not wrong.

Don’t misunderstand either, please – I don’t advocate to slow down lifting and helping those from other countries in need – but let’s help change the outcome of all these families from all those years – utilizing similar, well laid out, long-term, efforts!

All my friend, and his family and friends, was saying is … ‘Hey, what about us’?

Hey, …

I’m Just Sayin’ … .

 

 

Survived but Never Reconciled Part I

            Survived but Never Reconciled                 Part I

How has poverty replicated itself, exactly, (so precisely!) in every state of the union?

Every city in the US has an eerie similarity when it comes to [seeming] cultural divides which [seem to] over time aggregate to some distinct, predictable, common aspects within the microcosms each city represents.

Why does every city have ghetto’s or inner city areas with strikingly similar demographics? Even family demographics which go back over several generations? How does that happen?  How did it happen?

What is the common denominator which some larger sense of society or government has put into place here (?) – which somehow caused this outcome – again and again and again?

In every city in America – over, and over, and over and over, and over again; what did this? [‘welfare’] [‘welfare’ over generations].

I believe there are common denominators which have become systemic, and there is no simple fix. No one knowingly invited this outcome but everyone is going to need to pay… dearly.

Generational Welfare, broken policies, selfish corporate leaders, and politicians – destroyed – and left crippled – generations of black* families.

*American Families of African descent from slavery.

 

 

These policies, [the powers that were] provided welfare to generation after generation – in the same cities, to the same families, to the same groups of peoples – for generations to the 4th and 5th generation.

Further, Government Welfare, its rules and regulations interweaved intricate policies that rewarded financially – a broken family structure that perpetuated from itself – also – generations of heartache and suffering. What happened is beyond the imagination of human machinations.

I do not think it is, or was, malicious; it was not some plot with intent beyond petty greed and human ignorance; it was sinful though – especially not to have the courage to fix it generation after generation. Countless families, countless men, women, and children – over too many years – were decimated!

I heard a sentence above all the din during the George Floyd memorials:

We [of African American Decent] Survived Slavery but, but never reconciled it!

How true that rang in my heart. Survived – but never recovered, never healed, never reconciled – not in a way that gave true hope of a future, as families, and as a People; NOT EVEN AS US CITIZENS because they remained an entity to themselves as we decimated the(ir) nuclear families [all nuclear families].

(So,) You Want To Change The World?

(So,) You Want To Change The World?

I think, on some level, many of us wish we could change the world; further, I am happy to report that many of us can … and, do!

First, What do I work to help to achieve?

I have often, reluctantly, admitted to a life-long, strongly held hope, wish, and desire of my own – a deep seated need –                ……        ……   I want to change the world; it’s in my DNA.

I admit it; I want to change The World.

I used to quickly add, with a sort of ‘shucks’ and looking at the floor …

‘Yes, I know how arrogant it is to hope to change the world!’.

I am not The Savior and even with the greatest desire … I cannot change the world!

Or, can I?   /\   Can you?

Well, I thought, ‘The Savior will come’ – and ‘He will change The World’ [again].

And, so, until then – for me – the question for me becomes

What Can I do To Help?

One of the Gifts given me by God is a heightened ability to recognize in honest and loving ways -‘truths’; and then to reflect them back in a loving and good light in attempts to support a persons’ progression [toward becoming a fully functioning person] (an old professor, non-religious, used to use the term … ‘Fully Actualized’).

For me, today, it is more of a growing in The Gospel [Progression] – a lifelong process of moving closer to [and understanding] God [and adjusting ones’ life accordingly].

I use my sensitivities, my abilities to connect with people, my gift to see truths in both people and matters …. – always I use – to help, to heal, … to bring people together in efforts to unite positive energies for good and right purposes [Gospel Principles and Purposes].

In short – I Work To Help People Grow.

This Blog is a growing, changing, tool to do just that – to help you [and me] to recognize truths, think about them, reflect upon how they impact our lives, and ultimately to use it all to help us all Progress.

 

You CAN Change The World! [and so can I]

Today We Need Run Toward Our Churches … Not Away From Them

Today, We Need Run Toward Our Churches … Not Away From Them

Especially in this age of extremism, in both headlines and actions [by people, localities, groups, governments …], I wish to offer a thought about the need for Religion. The need today for Churches, Mosques, Temples – genuine neighborhood religious congregations – across America; and, the need for them to grow.

My notion is far from ‘an original’ thought and I will offer a link at the close of my comments to a short video from a man who says it very eloquently and drives my point home decisively.

Like many of you, I read a lot of headlines each day – and even understanding the editors are vying for attention with hyperbole angry overtones – once in awhile I have to ‘bite’ and investigate further – asking: Can it be true? And, if so – why, oh why, on earth … can it be true?

In this case, what sparked my attention was the ‘headline’:

Maine single mother facing eviction offered tent and camping gear by city”. Link if you desire   www.foxnews.com/us/maine-single-mother-eviction-tent-camping-gear

 

Yes, there is more to the story – so I included a link – you can decide if the option was viable in this case – but, please, I’d like to address a larger point.

There are reasons, in today’s society, for these things to be happening with alarming increase [which too many are overlooking]; and, sadly too, we have come to an age where even many religious leaders have succumbed to the onslaught of what so many insist is today’s “status quo”.

Separately, it is NOT the status quo, and that is an important point to teach to others in our circles – however, that is a topic of another composition referenced below as that is the ‘tail wagging the dog’.

I regret to report by personal experience that leaders of great Churches across the country are afraid to say: Church is important [to the point of suggesting that to invite others to join (any religion) is offensive]. I say ‘nonsense’.

Too many will not declare today the simple fact that religion – even Christianity – is central to the foundations of this great country.

Pastors, Priests, Imams, Ministers, Reverends, Rabbi’s are in fear to stand up and declare it is [more than] a little important to find a religion – become a part of a congregation – join a Church that serves God, humanity, and ideals that help people make their lives better.

Forgive a short digression as I ‘say aloud’ that Biblical religions – of every type – today – even fear to say that the notion of a Traditional Family is The Best foundation for this society.

Quickly, [lest I be wrongly labeled a hater] I declare my love for all kinds of families – but the best outcome grows from when we embrace the model where there is a mother, a father, and stable home. Homes in which mothers have time to mother, and fathers have both opportunity to provide financially – AND have time to share with, and grow with, love his family.

Our neighborhoods, cities, and states – the people of our very Country – genuinely need to reconnect with the Values we learn in those Churches. Churches teach values, and promote Faith … in God …and, they work to strengthen that faith – strengthen the people – all of them!

People, in their religious faith, grow; and they love and help each other. Maybe the Government needs to get out of the welfare business and allow … even encourage – religions to do their Work.

Churches i.e. Religious Congregations – be they Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist – are an essential part of America! And not just as memorials or aging and empty ‘monuments’ on our street corners! What we learn in those great houses of God is fundamental to the nature of being human on earth.

And for the naysayers … I don’t know a religion where God is not synonymous with Love – my notions are inclusive – not one national religion, nor is it some path to exclude those with no religion.

I am simply asking we understand better the importance of a religion  … join a Mosque, Temple, Church … and openly invite God back into our Country, and our lives. If some choose not to accept God – that’s fine – but stand clear of those who do. [See my composition about ‘the tail wagging the dog’ in this country]. Send me a note – I’ll happily send a copy.

In closing, this is a Judeo-Christian Country – America. Its Values’ are built on a Judeo Christian, Biblical, foundation – like it or not; and, I am saying for sure – this country needs its Churches [speaking of ALL churches, temples, mosques … combined-plural]  – every one of them – because without themour society fails!

Please take a minute to listen, and watch, a short clip of Clay Christensen from Harvard on this very important topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjntXYDPw44

When They Broke The Family-They Broke The World

In the year 2020 it can be a real stretch for some to try and understand how the strength of the world, the strength of humanity, the strength of the individual – lies in The Family [and, its natural structure].

A family, separate from artificially imposed limits and rules, is the fundamental unit of a society – any society is the family; and good families always look back to their beginnings – their forefathers –  even our Heavenly Father.

Even if one looks back to the very early beginnings of the world as we know it -we all come from a Family [Adam and Eve] … Israel itself – was, is, a Family.

In times gone by – good families grew to be the size of villages, and small cities [by today’s measure] – but they were families none the less.

Imagine if you will, a family in the country – taking up life on a small farm. Two people – and then three, four … and so it goes and grows… for generations.

This is the natural habitat of a family.

I invite you to stretch your thinking a bit … imagine the farm becomes – A world unto itself! Such a family endeavor, such an undertaking truly becomes likened to an entire world – the proverbial microcosm.

Everyone has a part, a purpose – everyone shares the work and the reward; now really fire up your imagination and recognize that in these worlds, in these families – God is at the center.

All are taught a genuine understanding of our nature, God’s nature is the fabric of these worlds … all are taught their direct lines – spiritual and temporal – back to God.

 These families flourish(ed); they grow, they ‘bud’ off … and each thrives with God at its center. So did this Country of America grow – with God at its center.

And, I repeat – when God is at the center of a family – indeed, He is at the center of a World; and, any world that has God at its center – any family that has God at its center … is blessed, remains healthy and strong.

When business, finance, economics, politics – [of cities – of evil men] forced a change in this pattern.

Capitalists, greed, short sighted politicians paired with evil men and their agendas came in huge waves. People [over time] lost their good, right, and natural worlds; they lost their way – they lost their family – and in that, too – they lost sight of God.

Sadly, fiercely, the dynamics of ‘family’ – the love and respect for God, The Commandments – the very nature that held us together and brought us health … all were torn asunder – the family structure at its core was undermined and systematically destroyed.

 Cities grew, ‘The Country Farm(s)’ turned into suburbs, and into malls, small towns and villages vanished – families changed – lives … changed; …

Today, brainwashed and overwhelmed are so many!w e all had to make and want and have … ‘stuff’ … It happened oh so slowly as we drove our fancy cars and watched our color tv’s.

And, in a few generations, with a wink and a nod – we got our shiny stuff as we mindlessly worked to build the infrastructure that brings us –  to today – and the persecution of anything remotely connected to God … – but that is another story. [Stop by again soon]

Men and women were never meant to live in these monsters we call cities!

When they broke the family … they broke the World.

[Chirp, Chirp Chirp]

Waking before the sun in the mornings these days?

Is the world upside down pressing on you?

Are you seeking something, anything, in the world that might lift and brighten your day?

Then, the next time you wake up before 5AM – I invite you to get up, open your window a little (turn off the fan or ac too) and return to bed; then lay quietly in the dark, in the silence, and offer a prayer.

Very quietly in prayer, reflect upon the many blessings you’ve enjoyed through your life …

All the while, keep listening:

A beautiful, great, quiet – yet powerful, subtle – yet unmistakable, sound will come

As you pray, suddenly, something very sweet will break the silence.

What was that? There it is again ... still faint, yet much more distinct the second time … and now by the third time … the sound is unmistakable – there it is again! J

Chirp. J Chirp Chirp …

Open your eyes, smile, thank your Heavenly Father, finish your prayer and say ‘good morning’ to those first early birds that invite the sunrise – every day even through the madness of 2020….

 Keep smiling … and begin your day – the day God has blessed you to have – with a newly recognized gratitude in your heart. Be daily mindful that God so loves you that He created it all – all of it – that you may have this life! Even this day; even the first songs of the mornings.

Those first "Chirps"? Those are just one reminder in this upside down world; I hope you hear them all …

  [Chirp, Chirp Chirp!]

God, Loves You!

THIS IS ABOUT ABORTION (and, so much more)

Federal Judge Critical of Chief Justice John Roberts.

I take exception to all the hyperbole and awfully slanted words the main stream media [all of them] choose for their ‘headlines’. So, I don’t like the headlines’ chosen word – “Blasts” – but never the less – the content is of great interest to me. Because …THIS IS ABOUT ABORTION:

Disorder in the courts: Federal judge blasts Chief Justice John Roberts

And, as the pendulum begins to swing toward understanding that abortions are The Taking of a LIFE [ practicing what I say – could have chosen other words] – and, ‘it’ – i.e.  the Law of The Land-  may finally be righted – these characters (the opposition) are (even more) out of control [C Schumer NY] and now this federal judge seriously charging that the Supreme Court is “actively participating in undermining American democracy”.

Forgive me, and I sure may be wrong … but this and other reasons/examples like it – are why America needed [even a flawed] man like Donald Trump. Whatever his motivations are, or were – he has  saved Religious Freedoms, Right to Worship, Right to Life, Right to Speak … as we welcome God back into our classrooms and the town square! Soon, again, in Universities, and more.

I know God chooses whom He will and can use any flawed person to do His Will. People grow; people [can] change.

As this country again begins to recognize and embrace its Origins, its Greatness – this Opposition is going to go off the rails.

Question everything – in which the driving force might be to turn this long awaited tide; don’t be easily fooled or misled; pray for wisdom and you will receive it.

Murder by Dog(s) is Happening Too, Too Often

Murder by Dog(s) is Happening Too, Too Often

I guess the term is more properly ‘Manslaughter‘ [as these things can be predicted, but it is mostly impossible to prove premeditation].

Soon, because of so many reports crossing the headlines weekly and monthly, I will need to dedicate an entire section to such instances.

Most Importantly  – Each Death was/is Preventable – which is the saddest fact of all.

Some Breeds of Dogs Must Be Outlawed -or  these Killings will continue.

Bad People Acquire These Animals As Weapons; others are stubborn, clueless, or in denial.

No matter – either way – let us get these animals out of our neighborhoods and cities. it can happen to you, or your child, or your mother, father, brother, sister … .

https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/21/us/detroit-dogs-kill-girl-wednesday/index.html

People Are Often Unreasonable

People are often unreasonable, irrational and self-centered.
Forgive them, anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind, anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends
and some genuine enemies.
Succeed, anyway.

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere, anyway.

What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it may never be enough.
Give your best, anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them, anyway.

Religious Revival Across The United States of America

Religious Revival Across The United States of America

I know how important Organized Religion – of all persuasions and faiths – is in this great Country. The Bible, Judaeo Christian values and principles are the foundation of our founding and origins. Churches of all kinds – were [and could be again] an intricate part of the fabric of this Nation.

Over decades, certain powers that be – worked tirelessly to undermine the nuclear family and Judaeo Christian values in our Great Country.

I am so sorry for the loss to Charlie Kirk’s family, friends … and, for our loss as a country in his assignation. No words for the loss; none are sufficient. The tragic murder of so many – in the Sept. 28 attack at a Church of Latter-Day Saints in Grand Blanc, MI, … it saddens me that the list of such events in this year alone is too long for me articulate. Loss after loss, one after another, each awful in its own right.

I keep hearing in some circles – that the events of late are igniting a unity – and more definitively – even a Revival – a turning back to God in our country.

How nice that would be!

I have posted here a very simple clip that demonstrates so very clearly – the import of Organized Religion and it illustrates so well what happened as it all fell away … not only have the powers that be decimated our Churches – they also undermined [and decimated] families across America – even the very concept and nature of Family.

Undermining the basic Family and taking Religion out of the city and village squares – out of the family, out of the lives of people led to chaos. It was done by deception, coercion, even the manipulation of the concept of ‘free speech’ and freedom of religion, ‘freedom to choose’ … even to pervert generations of children.

It all yielded tragic outcomes in our country.

Making it ‘offensive’ to declare our beliefs openly – to celebrate our Faith openly was a egregious offence in and of itself – perpetrated by dark forces and powers that be … and we have all lived the result over the last decade especially.

We Need A Revival. We do.

Personally, I believe, without doubt – that Gods’ own Hand was active in and directing the very foundations of this great country. The only way it might fail … is if the country turns away from Him [IMHO]. He will not turn from us or this country – but it is imperative we don’t turn away from Him.

Yes, we do need a Revival.

I’m Just Sayin’ … .

Check out this very short 90 second video, perfectly stated and illustrated, about the need for Organized Religion in this country. It’s by Clay Christensen who passed in January of 2020. He was a Professor from Harvard Business School – some years ago.

I Work for God! By Jerry Lombardo

 

Chapter 2

 

 

And along came John! John Phillips, Ordained and member of the Elders Quorum of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints – and with him, came an introduction to the President of the local Area Mission – a mentor and partner to rotating young Missionary Elders and Sisters, [then] Elder Dallas Jones.

 

            Brother Phillips, of very humble beginnings and lifestyle and Brother Jones – a successful business man and Leader in The Church … they were as night and day in appearance and presentation; each very disarming and spiritual in their own ways. The contrast was striking and their relationship moved me from the very beginning.

 

            John Phillips, a retired black man,  was a remarkable man who did not enjoy the benefits of a university education or a productive career. He lived in a low-income area of a very poor City; he was financially poor himself, but he is kind, wise, with an undeniable strong spirit and unusual spiritual presence.

 

            Pair his a million dollar smile with his warm, disarming, character and one begins to get a picture of Elder Phillips. As we walked the streets if Utica NY – it seemed he knew every person we passed and every owner and worker in every store.

 

            I used to tease him and call him The Mayor … walking with John was like walking with the Mayor of the City of Utica.

 

            I’ve come to know President Dallas Jones very well too – almost two decades now; and have come to love him and know him as a wonderful, kind, generous, Spiritual and dutiful Christian man.

 

            In contrast to John, President Jones is Blessed in his life with the full benefit of family, Church, and financial stability. Dallas is first truly righteous and Worthy man I had ever met in my life … even at just over fifty years old – he was the very first.

 

Before I continue about ‘today’ … I need to go back to The Beginning – of my own life that is … and then we’ll catch up and you will better feel and see the Contrasts and how my life turned around and  ‘turned out’ :-).

 

Even why I believe the things I do – which will introduce you to my next book –

End Chapter 2

This Is Just Appalling

This Is Just Appalling  – this is an excerpt from a Fox News Story by Nora Moriarty is a Production Assistant at FOX News you can read the entire article here https://www.foxnews.com/media/family-6-year-old-stabbed-death-sickened-suspects-early-prison-release

Relatives of a 6-year-old boy stabbed to death during a 2015 home invasion opened up about the “sickening” early release of the man convicted in the attack.

“Me and my siblings, we are fearful of what’s to come next,” Koral Tipton, the sister of 6-year-old Logan Tipton, told “The Will Cain Show.”

Koral witnessed the brutal slaying of her little brother in 2015 and suffered injuries as the suspect, Ronald Exantus, went on a stabbing spree inside their Kentucky home.

Exantus, 42, was serving a 20-year sentence for second-degree assault in Logan’s killing when he was released from custody last week, according to online records. Despite confessing, Exantus was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity at trial. The jury found him guilty of the other assaults that took place during the home invasion

The Tipton family said they were “confused” by the verdict.

“I still feel helpless,” said Heather Tipton, Logan’s mother. “And now he’s out, walking the streets among us. Like, what do we do?”

I simply do not understand how some people who have all this Authority – think; … or why they do what they do.

I am so grateful that our President is cleaning house in every room that he is able to access. These and other non-sensible policies and choices – over years now … are hurting our country.

I pray the Revival the Media is reporting about – is real and grows in only ways God [with our heartfelt help] can bring to pass.

Long live the memory and work of Charlie Kirk. May God Bless his family … and this Country.

I work for God!

By Jerry Lombardo

 

Chapter One

 

            I consider myself a thoughtful, logical, and methodical man. There I was – studying and learning the Word of God; researching tirelessly the origins of ‘religions’ and their differences – and (I thought) more importantly – What They Had In Common! [because none made sense to me on their own]

 

             I’d read the Koran, Old Testament, New Testament, studied what it meant to be Jewish – the different kinds of Jews, different kinds of Muslims, differences between Protestants, Presbyterians, and CatholicsJust what is a Presbyterian?  (I’d asked myself)

 

            I looked into Astronomy, Satanism, re-read works of different philosophers …, checked out Free Masons, Templars, even researched secret societies past presidents have been members of … which religions they practiced … on and on and on.

 

            My appetite and desire to learn The Truth was (and continues to be) voracious and insatiable. I was questioning the questions and spending good time discerning answers for myself – that I might find my own direction within His Word and His Will; life was better than it ever had been. I was healing.

Judge Keith M. Alber

Judge Keith M. Alber

Part of a page in a text book – from almost 70 years ago – shared by a retired US Judge – which has been  read by many thousands in the last few years because it lists some interesting facts which were widely published and read in the 1950’s.

From Judge Keith M. Alber in his own writings –  penned in a letter:

“My first year of college was 68 years ago,” “One class I took was political science. A half-page of my textbook essentially outlined a few steps to overturn democracy.” 

“1) Divide the nation philosophically.

2) Foment racial strife.

3) Cause distrust of police authority.

4) Swarm the nation’s borders indiscriminately and unconstitutionally.

5) Engender the military strength to weaken it.

6) Overburden citizens with more unfair taxation.

7) Encourage civil rioting and discourage accountability for all crime.

8) Control all balloting.

9) Control all media.

 (Facebook and The Napa Register (1959))

These following thoughts … are my own [JL].

I have been asking myself – again and again:

 What is the endgame?

Why are some people of means – seemingly intelligent people – trying to tear down this Great Nation?

Why are some people working so hard – spending vast amounts – even generational fortunes – to tear apart and burn asunder – this great country, and its history?

I just couldn’t understand ‘the end game’.

Why?

Why tear down so much, so fast, so vehemently?

What [good]  can genuinely be gained? I was going nuts trying to understand.

 What is to be gained?

I found no reasonable answers.

I am, of course, familiar with religious concepts – good and evil – and the reality of powers and principalities which are in a constant struggle – to determine the future of, the direction of – humanity itself.

Freedom or Bondage? Build or Destroy? Free Choice or Determinism? Follow Satan or Love God?

Look, forgive me if any of this is offensive to you; however, I believe it is very important to understand the reasons for the battles and, honestly, the only view that makes any sense to me is the notion that tends to suggest that this battle is, indeed, a battle in a war for the stakes which include all of humanity – all the generations from Adam, and the foundations of the world – through the present generations.

It is a war of powers and principalities … about Right and Wrong. Good and Evil.

And, by the way? I read the books … we win.

Good wins. God wins.

We really need a Revolution in this Country…. Again. [from Archives – June 2006]

 

We did it in the 60’s and 70’s and we can to it in the first decade of the new millennium.

 

America! Where are you now? Don’t you care about your sons and daughters? We can’t fight alone against the Monster. Don’t you know we need you now – we can’t fight alone against the monster!*

* “Steppenwolf” 1970

 

The Greed of the ruling class has again driven our Nation into an apathetic people when it comes to the rights of the common, average, good man or woman and the state of our societies. We are asleep at the wheel and the world is growing in its chaos.

 

 

Added in September 2025: I am grateful for our President.

 

So far, anyway … .  😉

The Earths’ Magnetosphere

Earths’ magnetosphere

Our Magnetic Shield – and please, accept at face value – even on current scientific understandings – that what is surrounding our planet is a gigantic and very powerful electromagnetic shield and it keeps us safe from planet wide devastations – civilization ending events – from meteors, and more – on a regular basis [relatively].

This shield is vital for our planet and, vital for the current life on the planet to survive.

How does a magnetic or electromagnetic field or shield work?

How does our earth’s magnetic field work?

I’m not a laboratory professor or even an assistant – even so,  I’m sure there are 100’s of physicists out there who can, and have. set up experiments in the lab to show how such fields work – and, many theorize how our inner core, and the metals in our planet – drive this field.

Here is the point. The precious metals of the earth? What if these are more precious than the world seems to understand yet?

Ask any of those nice lab sleuths who have experimented and documented these things with real life type models, measurements, and repeatable results:

If those deposits were dispersed and deposited by a process in a deliberate way and with a purpose in mind – what would be the result of removing them?

What might be the result of changing the electrical potentials created by the metals, the core, the minerals and crystal compositions of the planet?

What if we mine it all from the earth? What happens to our Shield of protection? Do we alter it?

I don’t know. I know how sensitive these fields are in simple radio, and basic electric power frequencies – fields generated by heat, magnets and metals – are manipulated by changing certain external physical properties [like the removal of the metals].

No one, really no one, wants to think for a moment that stripping the gold, silver, copper, and other precious metals are hurting our intelligently created force field – but, I suggest, maybe we are.

Intelligently Created? Of course!

Very few will hear or acknowledge these things – it’s ok. God will refurbish the planet for the Race that comes next – when the sons of Adam have moved on; there will be a new ‘Earth Age’ … a new Dispensation  … and our mortal remains will be just a layer of curiosity – deep in the layers of the earth -for some future and great civilization to ponder.

I’m Just Sayin’ … .

Lord – let it rain!

I know a lot about loss.

I know a lot about anger.

I know a little about redemption

I know more about faith.

I know God loves me.

 

Yes, I’ve had, and have, very much – both anger and pain –

One day to be washed fresh by the rain of God’s love and the blood of our Savior.

 

Lord – let it rain!

 

Today, I remember about loss

I remember about anger

I’ve learned though, a lot more about redemption – and even more about faith, and yes, I know God still loves me.

 

He always did. He always will.

Two Plans Which Move Forward in This World Today

Soon, a superior being to us mortals will emerge. Our world government(s) will begin to ‘teach’ us that we were created by this race of superior beings… that Creation was all science – with no Divinity … and that they [or he – their leader] are the very founders and creators of all we see, and, all that we are … .

He will promise immortality and he will do (seeming) miracles and soon, most of the world will be convinced … and controlled …  by those powers and principalities we read of in our Bibles.

The plan moves forward even today – day after day, year after year.

Actually, there are Two plans which move forward in this world today. The one I just outlined, and the Plan of Salvation – the Plan of the True God – the Plan which includes our Savior, Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father.

Each plan is real, and each plan is constantly moving forward.

[The Dark] One will continue to progress and it will seem that its outcome and fruition are inevitable; – the other? The other really is …  the Plan of Salvation – which existed before the foundations of this earth; ‘That One’? The Plan of Salvation – is truly inevitable and is the only one that will come to Fruition.

Remember this: Lucifer seeks to trick the world, and most of all – have the world worship him. He will stand in Holy Places, and, he will declare himself to be God.

He will do miracles in the sight of men. He will declare himself as Master of the world and offer man immortality.

And many will be fooled.

I pray you won’t be one who is fooled.

Choking on our own shit

Choking on our own shit

 

Place a single cell of bacteria in the center of a Petri dish and what happens?

 

The bacteria begin to build a colony. The build from the center out … and they begin to grow – slowly growing in size further and further out in ever increasing larger rings or circles —

 

All is well … resources stay clean, uncontaminated … waste is taken care of – moved to the outer areas of the colony … until they reach the end or edge of the Petri dish … and, then, there is no more room.

 

Well bacteria just like any animal – even humans – they produce feces [and other waste] … and they have a good method of transporting it to the outer areas of where they live … just like us  humans

 

However, when the colony grows to its physically confined limit – and it keeps growing in spite of limited space – what happens then?

 

The pipeline to evacuate wastes shuts down – there’s nowhere for it to go. There is too much fecal matter and nowhere for it to go …

 

What happens? The colony dies. It chokes on its own shit… just like man almost did …

 

Love Mother Earth.

 

I’m Just Sayin’ … .

And, yes, he is an extra terrestrial!

I love the one who made me – the one we call God the Father … Creator of all things … the one who gave me a part of himself  – that Spark – that Breath of Life – that makes my soul special and unique [surely it is not the brain… although how great that is too].

And, yes, he is an extra terrestrial!  😉

I Work For God! Prologue by Jerry Lombardo

‘I work for God!’

by Jerry Lombardo

 

Prologue

 

            When I was first introduced to my Church, [The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints] I did not take it very seriously at all. I’d been involved in my own personal study and search for some time and was still ‘in the middle of it’; however, I’d just looked up an old friend and he was more than a little excited for me to go with him to a church meeting close by … .

 

            I hadn’t seen my friend for almost ten years; we were very excited and happy to see each other. He was on his way to an afternoon church meeting (it was Sunday) and pleaded with me to come; it was all spur of the moment and not at all in my plans – but I decided to go.

 

            I was not driving a car at the time, so I had rode over on a new, small, electric scooter that I’d just gotten (2006). When it was time to leave the little scooter in the parking lot – I realized that would be a poor decision because of the neighborhood and begged off actually going into the building – promising I would at another time…

 

            My old friend had told me that he’d been Ordained to a Priesthood. I was shocked – my friend and I used to run the streets together. Nothing I am pleased to share … we were ‘broken’ …   but here we both were a decade later – changed in our natures.

 

            I was leaving, he had to get inside …  but before I did, I took a second to blurt out to my long lost friend … ” this is great!” “I work for God too!”.

 

            I was a man who’d begun a change just a decade earlier – broken hearted and with a contrite spirit – at 40 years old … set on a path that would change … everything for me.

           

            I’ll never forget my first ‘meeting’ few days after that Sunday with Missionaries*. My friend hadn’t even told me this was an LDS Church [not that ‘that’ would have mattered – I didn’t really know what that meant].

*Missionary Elders Tingey and McKay plus one of their mentors and Leaders – President Dallas W. Jones.

 

            To be honest, I remember sensing that my friend was being a little evasive with me about who the meeting was with – but I went along anyway;

 

            One day, I told my friend I was going to stop by; unbeknownst to me at the time, he quickly called to set up an introduction and meeting.  When I arrived, he explained to me that some people from his church were going to stop by too … and he’d love for me to meet and talk with them.

 

            I thought ‘why not?’, and agreed.

 

            I remember sitting on the steps of my friends house, smoking a cigarette, and all of a sudden – like the FBI – two new vehicles pulled up and out came [collectively] a group of young men in suits and ‘an older guy’ in the second car – also in a suit, tie, but without his jacket on. And they weren’t carrying guns … but Scriptures.

 

            The fact that I was sitting in a literal ghetto area – and considering my surroundings – I remember how fascinated I was as these (obviously) out of place guys all filed up, smiling, looking me in the eyes and shaking my hand …. And there was a ‘feeling’ that came with them.

 

            I really couldn’t, at the time, – explain the feeling – but as out of place as they were – they seemed to bring their own ‘comfort zone’ with them which they had now extended to me. It was an amazing feeling.

 

            I don’t remember what we talked about; but I do remember some of the feelings. I sat there, very arrogantly, smoking and acting like a Bible Scholar [I was not!]. It was if I were engaging in a sort of contest to demonstrate that I, ‘sincerely’, understood God, His Word, and that I was, indeed, ‘saved’ already.

 

I kept telling them, I know God … ‘I’m just fine …’. They kept smiling and teaching.

 

            I was convinced of a few things: These guys were sharp, sincere, intelligent, and at the least, entitled to explain their beliefs and positions to me further. I just had this feeling … .

 

            At that time, I had been actively studying different churches and religions – I was disappointed by each and had found nothing near to the spirituality that these young men clearly had – so (I concluded) they were worth some of my time.

 

            I also knew that my friend was quite determined to open my mind to what these folks had to say; and I knew he was much better today than when we were together nine years prior ‘in the world’; he was a different man – so my curiosity was ‘piqued’ and I decided to give this interesting group of people my attention and some of my  time.

 

            Allow me to tell you now – no one – especially me – could ever have predicted the events and activities that followed (and continue!). The events and changes that followed over the next years will bring smiles to my face for all time forward.

 

I began to pen a book about it … never published it … I think I’ll publish it here … Chapter by Chapter.

Hollywood and Media are selling homosexuality – transgenderism from Archives

Hollywood is selling homosexuality [and ‘transgenderism’].

May 2022 from Archives

 

Yes, Hollywood is selling homosexuality; and this other madness called, for lack of another term – ‘transgenderism’.

 

I was so grateful to learn that some States are finally making it criminal for adults to do this to children. It is criminal. It is child abuse.

 

Some say [I say] Hollywood, in the early days, sold sex, drugs, and rock and roll. In a way, I suppose that’s true. In the early days though, it was mostly alcohol, [sex], and tobacco… – and they were very successful at it.

 

It was, indeed more though; they influenced – all men – women and our children … beyond using alcohol and tobacco – they set the fashion standards, societal standards – even high heels, lipstick, face makeup – and let’s not forget – even promiscuity [for men, women, and children].

 

Hollywood set the ‘norms’ for millions and millions of us, and our children – for a few generations.

 

They portrayed lies – and we all watched our TV’s, listened to the radios … and we were convinced, without ever thinking about it, that every one – smoked cigars, cigarettes, pipes … and drank whisky, wine and beer – and everyone was having sex with everyone else.

 

America saw it on TV – every day – and the use of those things  increased astronomically! Kids, younger and younger, believed the lies they saw in front of their faces in movies, on TV, Magazines, and Radio.

 

What do you suppose happened?

 

Yes, of course, more kids [and more adults too!] drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes. ‘Good Ole’ Madison Avenue Salesmanship – polluted the entire social landscape.

 

Yes, Hollywood sold sex, alcohol, and tobacco – and set the social standards that replaced our own moral judgment.

 

Now, it’s selling homosexuality and this evil minded transgenderism.

 

And, now – it’s not only Hollywood – it is Hollywood and The Media. And again, make no mistake – they are selling it and having generations of kids believe that ‘everyone’ has people who live those lives, espouse those beliefs – living next door or upstairs.

 

Every household, has a member of some ‘minority’ [if you believe Media and Hollywood] – and more and more the ‘minority’ is gay or ‘transgender’  …. It’s not right.

 

The powers that be would have us believe this is NORMALeveryone is like this AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO. That’s what their selling. [I’ve nothing against people choosing who they wish to be – but don’t push it on us, our children, and others. Period.]

 

Our kids don’t know better – they’re kids … and they are being brainwashed in plain sight.

 

Years ago, many people of various Religions – people who believe in, and have faith in, a biblical God – turned to home schooling.

 

Generations of young children were taught at home and were spared the perils of public education. [I am grateful my Church was a leader in the area of home schooling our kids].

 

Today, public schools are worse; the problem is not just a small slant on education – it is, in the true sense of the word, Indoctrination.

 

Generations of our children are being brainwashed.

 

I am grateful that parents across the country are beginning to wake up and see the dangers – parents all over the country are taking on public school boards and teachers to stop the runaway – absolutely blatant and runaway brainwashing of our precious children.

 

It’s not enough.

 

I think it’s mostly a lost cause [trying to take back public schools]. I think people should be able to pay their school taxes to the schools of their choice but I am not a politician.

 

Not every family can Home School – but if you can – it may be worth a family discussion to consider Home Schooling.

 

The facts are not comforting when it comes to our Public Schools. In insidious ways, agenda driven people – one individual at a time – are working very hard to change outcomes – and to change the foundation of the Country.

 

Not widespread ‘conspiracy’ defined legally – as some assumed – to steal an election for example – but 1000’s of individuals – each with the same agenda – acting ‘independently’. [Sort of sounds like conspiracy though doesn’t it?] That’s for another discussion.

 

Even so, the result on the landscape of our cities and towns is the same. Like minded people act individually – breaking the rules to achieve their agenda.

 

And, it all adds up to tilting perceptions and changing the way our children think.

 

Flash Cards here, a Vote there … . It’s not a legal conspiracy …but it is a conspiracy [of evil].

 

One result? The messages get to our kids.

 

Take a look at the image below and the few paragraphs. The radical ideas in the headline(s) may not be in the official guidelines or charters of these schools – we may ‘technically’ … legally – have a few materials banned … but then here comes some of those individuals I referred to … and they use methods and agenda’s – as individuals but in quiet cahoots with other evil minded individuals – in examples like this:

 

LGBT themed cards a preschool teacher was using to teach kids colors (NC State Rep. Tim Moore)

lgbtcards_1280x720.png

A NC state representative said a concerned constituent emailed her about the cards that were being used to teach preschoolers colors. The State Rep – Erin Pare contacted the principal of the elementary school to verify the use of the cards in class. 

 

The principal located the cards in the preschool classroom and verified with the teacher that they had been used to teach colors.

When I look at that image on the left  – I don’t see ‘a pregnant man’. Men can’t be pregnant.

 

What does a child learn from these subtle cues? What is the subliminal message – and the direct message?

 

This is just the tip of the iceberg. People of this agenda have found their ways into the foundations of this great country. Discrimination laws made it easy – those national anti-discrimination laws changed the landscape of the country.

 

People of minority views – people in the very low percentages by numbers in our populations …became OVER represented in the halls of power and began [with Media] to influence … the moral standards of our Country [and even the world]. Classic examples of the tail wagging the dog.

 

Those with these agenda’s have influence via the classrooms from Kindergarten through the University years – plus they control opinions across all Media platforms – and they are ensconced in all forms of government.

 

It’s hard to believe so small a number of people hood winked an entire country. Today, the tail does wag the dog.

 

In a conversation with my Bishop – He referred to Scripture. I smiled, as did he, when the conversation took a turn … we both agreed ‘we read the book‘; we know how it all comes out.

 

The Good Win.

1,000,000 ‘Transgender’ people

One Million? One Million! [From Archive -Published July 2020]

1,000,000 ‘Transgender’ – i.e. persons who medically changed their gender in the USA!

HOW MANY ARE CHILDREN?

An Update

In early compositions I took to task the notion of Changing the Gender of Children.

I champion the true notion – that to do this, or anything similar, to a child – is Child Abuse … pure and simple!

I suggest such ‘changes’ are illegal and immoral – and both Parents [or Guardians] AND Doctors – ought go to jail.

My position has not changed. In the pieces [I did a few] I asked in a sort of rhetorical way: How many are there? How many children have we mutilated emotionally and physically in the name of these twisted agendas?

And, today, I have a portion of the answer. Although this figure is not divided into adults and children – it quotes one million. A million!

I pray for those affected and for sanity to again prevail – even common sense.

People who do this to children ought to go to jail.

Let the Colleges and Universities Fail

Let the Colleges and Universities Fail

President Donald Trump’s notion to continue to allow 600,000 Chinese Nationals – [Students] – continue to attend, drive, and fund a percent of American Universities – is as egregious as Biden’s opening the Border.

Let the colleges and universities fail.

China is Not Our Friend.
