In The Beginning Was The Word
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and "marrow", and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
MATHEW 18:13
My family needs me, and the Appalachian has work that needs to be done here! SO,
HERE IS TO 2025!
TO BE CONTINUED......
Who did piss in Vlad's Cornflakes?
I have asked myself this exact thing for many years while getting kicked further.
8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
I really try to remember this, but when your people's choices are causing my family, and yours, to unknowingly breed more diseases over productivity and still have your HAND out, I need to find what head to cut off but,
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelations 13:1
My Environment
I once met an old man in a store. He didn’t know what he was selling, not even a clue.
He admitted he didn’t use the products himself. But we talked, and in that moment, he spoke truth.
Over time, as I continued to visit, something changed.
Time began to mold him , and now, he's just another part of your culture.
For the sake of sales, he lies.
For profit, he masks authenticity.
For business, he sells a life he doesn’t live.
I assume it’s to protect his way of making a living.
Because in this place, in what work has become, you’re judged by "productivity" and material possessions.
But I don’t need the lights at night.
I don’t need Starbucks in the morning.
I don’t even need to go anywhere else.
So I ask:
Why should I keep putting in…
if this is all that “modern man’s” choices have led us to?
My Point
Nonprofits take government money, repackage it as "charity," and promote it with big hearts hidden behind big walls, while the real people suffer, still bound by their chains.
Meanwhile, Section 8 funnels HUD money into systems that approve 120% rental assistance, only to pack locals like cattle.
In North Carolina, out-of-state investors are allowed, even encouraged, to buy up the land.
Then, they turn around and charge $1,500 to $2,500 in rent, for an efficiency apartment with one window, or a tiny home, let alone three times what locals used to pay.
They call the people here “bums”, and laws protect the people profiting from it, and then "we the people" enforce it... that complain about why life has always been this way?
So if this is what “Save NC” means, as I keep hearing from the SBA...
You can keep it.
Keep the slogans.
Keep the international laws that shackle us in economic chains.
JHN 9:40–41
Maybe "they know not what they do" got a little worse in the last thousand years, or so. Talking to you people, I am glad you too, have chosen the insurance plan. In your churches, behind your walls, and in your warm homes. You deserve Grace. For you know not what you do. I must remember this, as Jesus was taken in the wilderness for forty days and used scripture to defeat the devil. Dear lord. As always, I'm yours. I know it's for something. I'll see you there!

"Truman Show"
I am traveling to Jerusalem in search of a theology scholarship, not for material gain but to deepen my understanding of God’s truth and share it with others. Just as Adam and Eve sought knowledge and bore its cost, I see my own suffering as a means of growth—a way to help others avoid the same pain. My hope is that this journey will allow me to turn hardship into wisdom, offering faith and guidance to those who need it most. This is not a pursuit of mammon, but a step toward serving a greater purpose.
The Temple Mount, known in Hebrew as “Har HaBayit,” located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is considered one of the holiest sites in Judaism and Islam, and is central to the Christian Gospels. It is also known as Haram al-Sharif in Islam, which means "The Noble Sanctuary." For decades it has been one of the most politically sensitive areas globally.
Veteran Temple Mount activist Rabbi Yitzhak Brand, who is unusual for such activists, is ultra-Orthodox (most Haredim oppose visits to the site), gave one of the lessons, noting the ability to perform prostration without restriction since August 13.
"No one can serve two masters", Matthew 6:24
What Dreams May Come?
Through my journey, I studied on a laptop in the wilderness, powered by a solar panel, while facing homelessness, sickness, and the loss of so much I held dear. Then a hurricane swept away my mountain home I hardly even had my foot in, but I kept going. Through all of it, I made the dean’s list throughout my certificate, diploma, and now my degree. What can any one person CHANGE, if they could just find peace? That's the gambit.
In those hard times, I turned to theology to find the meaning and understanding of life. Now, I’m preparing to pursue even higher education in Israel.
One choice is a Master’s in Business from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with the chance of a full scholarship.
This would provide options to my Appalachian home and shepherd the consumers away from diseases that politicians are blind to...
The other a Master's in Hebraic Roots of Christianity from Jerusalem University College but, I need to find financial assistance.
This would provide options for my Appalachian home and shepherd the consumers away from diseases that politicians are blind to...
While I'm in Israel I'll be exploring the balance between faith, and the pull of money in today’s worldly day-to-day decision-making. The decisions I'm told, we again choose. A necessary evil? Options? Mammon or God. The world has not changed much!
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
