    Preface

    Dedicated TO: Drew Arrington Chaplin U.S. Army

    I was wanting to tell a story of mine. My brother Blake the author of this book shares a dad and mother with me and our sisters. As a USA Army Chaplin My Brother has supported my ChAplainCY my Groups and My Home life with his inspired text and reading without loosing his temper but one time. IT is easier under army regulations than the Church regulations to succeed because we as army personnel risk our lives to become all you can be. My brother choke hold me one time when he was ill, almost to the point of death, because I laid there is the Army big brother Spirit. How are you doing Blake is friends of ours so I chose a different route with him of leniency. Talk is after any action I observe that is to causation or dramatic, I laid there as he choked me for breaking him up with his second wife who is Swedish. I laid there and said it will be okay as he choked me. I told him later dad had choked him when he was a small little boy. See Blake has a ruishiemers autism that is gifted with a lesser memory early in his life. This book is a break in his My life is a " series. Tis book is about the letters he wrote to me on the field as if the idea was the scriptures and revelation. Conquering to conquer is a book based on his field of studies. Blake and Drew went to school together to conquer work and school. He went Blake to school seven more semesters than I and completed the sucking sound project in our home town.

    Blake is a talented not a gifted artist. He jumped the rim once in high-school is the background for this book although he is only 6'3' which is really terrible. He is a terrible musician at guitar but plays piano in our home and our mother pays for our kids a starter lesson. My brother is a tobacco chewer which I tried and he belittled me for trying beer was a manic upsettings her snaps out of not stabilizes. My brother actually is allergic to protein but does not try and think on these things. My brother visualizes our dad in his mind to do the things he does at all times. Our father was a Vietnam veteran and he coach Blake his entire life on everything up until his thirtieth birthday. Then Blake had his midlife crisis and re statued our granddad. Blake says I am chasing Dad around the room that Blake sees spiritual., I trust Blake he let me go when he was choking me. I had told him he could not go over seas after lolly-walking that he could.

    Blake says the students had seen and recognized he was not like other Americans towards foreigners is a bit of a conspiracy but our mothers grandfather had done a situation of the Reich as an order to stay out of Pennsylvania harbor on Delaware Co. Blake did not tell her this but he told them later on Facebook about the great great great grandfather on our side with a picture the company put up on William Blake Arrington 18c. He also received a photograph of Vincent Van Gogh. Many of these things he is using to convey this sanity of taming INTERNET post to common place knowledge under-script as in our ancient relative Francis of Assisi heir mauther of Washington. This sanity that he saw was Exodus prior the commands at the blessing and curse. He noticed he could only be his grandfathers he met with his dads image in his brain. My brother has struggled with insanity several times over the years but only had minor anger kicking things down hallways and coming back and giving coloquialism oritations. My brother is a ranked man yet hes retired never went to boot camp and never drafted. He is not hurt by those things his leaving was 3 weeks and 1 day and he changed the world forever but hes not romantic. His romance is centered around the short cut to life theory but he takes extremely extremely long times taking all the short cuts and he produces two of the most rare still life plein eirs I have become accustom to to seeing the genius does not always work so it is your view of him by illness not just the military.

    The military was a short IMB missions board special operation that last sever years a decade of constant vigil over the whisper of a communist Chinese merchants son. My brother knows how to distract himself and pray not like me praying to distract themselves. Big brothers Army don't want no little man. Hes my fathers youngest son and he has many little brothers. Chaplains do not carry arms My brother although is proficient at target shooting since age six. He even used his name sakes cross bow a student of my dad brought in and was never told. Conquering to Conquer need he say more. My brother is a very brief man about as very detailed book the Bible so you may learn to memorize the Bible Text after reading this book is what he tells me is its purpose. There are the proverbs of his which come in handing to respect your enemies that seemingly are your ruffians and adversaries. Its a little grammatically rough in spots but captures what the Biblical authors really went through. Blake is autistic manic cleptic skitzo effective. Hes always got one emotion working for him said all the teachers. He used to cry on the phone how the atmosphere needed repairing and built a magnet boat in a steel sink is all he really did to deserve anything. Hes handsome and loves his cousins but his imageries of them is great gawks. I know you'll enjoy this book. I really did he sent it to me on email and he wrote the book over nine years. We have talked many times on the phone I've even heard him exclaim especial Estadios Unidos when I gave him his Afghanistan Lighter. He gave it to a man who helped him on the side of the road after three years of cherishing it at his parents house. He can draw really well but he doesn't practice he make other types of art in the mean time. Blake is not the example process is the example and thats why I loved my dad thats why Blake's book is so well done to meet the needs of Bible memorization formating which I'm a user of as a Chaplin.

    The military is a type of place Blake would fit in. He does fit in. Some days he would ask the men in the military to loan him a cigarette when Blake used to smoke. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING THIS WHOLE TIME is the challenge to separate the soul to the family flames to reach again for the literature and the profane idiocy knowledge. Blake has got to tell you the factors of light and Disorder and Person-hood of Christ are up for idiocy not debate and that is his true faith his definite calling his mission. It used to be WATCH WHAT YOUR THINKING and falling asleep every night exhausted yet his new phrases puts him up there as the younger to me and Della our sister though in truth hes second oldest. Blake's ruisheimers held his memory to limited until our mom's dad died and we began memory therapy. We could tell Blake had a memory because he could write but his visual memory came in and it began to perplex all of us that it was the same memory he shared but his soul changed. When he wrote these books he was very dry and lyme disease disordered. Soon his image fit his books and we could still see it was him by his writings but not his photos though his image had been our pastors assistant to tell by but now he became effigified.

    The manuscripts contained in this book are stories; Ive told mine. Blake is a story worth preserving the generations to and keeping in school and a new latter day saints books. The Mishgul approved Blake as a writer by helping them he and the Mishgul used the weather to vacuum the universe as a way to preserve life on earth they're are only 12 caves populated in china and 10,000,000 caves exist world wide. Its a shame the spirit of God and gods has to be overwhelmed with such things as movies but this book Blake has written will uncover the stones hidden to show the power of the Mishgul is William Blake James the Sixth Washington Dutch cousin himself who was up for King of Ireland but saw a brighter future to power the Mishgul.

    Washington and Blake are 15th generations of their last presidency Eisenhower John Wayne and Paul Arrington Sr. These men stack a hill of beans to what they have done. It was our Aunt who was raised from the dead by the shot planed and taken on John Fitzgerald Kennedy .. It was her rising from a coma that made the shot worth JFK'S liking. It is things like that and the ideas of young Washington's that impress the Mishgul. It's with that that one must say that the John Smith epic was an story written to Begin a name that Washington later married as a French Indian. This is what gives the president authority. Blake impressed upon the Chinese at age 9 at 11 and 24 and 30 years old. Thus the Mankshaw project came out of it to resurrect 9-11 terrorist mission.

    Introduction

    Sermon context from my new book….

    Conquering to Conquer. Blake Arrington

    24 And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying, 25 Thus hath the Lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.

    Luke 1:24-25 (ASV)

    Title: Where were these guys?

    This verse is about a very very important woman. This woman’s first child came in her late years. This child’s name was John. Jesus very words state that John was the greatest prophet of all times.

    So who was Elizabeth?

    Today we will be taking a look at the quiet times of three individuals Zechariah, Elizabeth, John the Baptist.

    There are two things that come from quiet times

    Revelation for the kingdom of heaven

    Encouragement for the kingdom of heaven

    Nothing bad has ever come from a quiet time.-Are you spending time alone with God?

    Today’s story is about a small family; Zechariah the father, Elizabeth his wife, and John the Baptist their son.

    Zechariah

    A priest

    A priest position was to mediate between God and man

    In Hebrews Jesus is our high priest

    A pastor is not like a priest because every believer can go straight to God through Christ and no longer needs a human mediator

    A priest job was to perform ceremonies in the temple

    Priest preformed sacrifices

    They had many types of sacrifices

    Burnt offerings of animals

    Burning of incenses

    Sons of Korah story

    Zachariah was in the temple mediating for the people by burning incense.

    8 Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course, 9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense. 11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of altar of incense. 12 And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. 14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16 And many of the children of Israel shall be turn unto the Lord their God. 17 And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.

    Luke 1:8-17 (ASV)

    Two things Zechariah learned

    The revelation of the birth of his son

    The encouragement that his son was the messenger that had been foretold 400 years prior

    One lesson we can learn from Zechariah is to believe what God tells us in our quiet time. It is crucial that you believe what God tells you, because he said it for a reason. Our next example teaches us that once we have spent some time alone with God––-Spend more time with him, even if he is already working in our lives!

    Elizabeth was Zachariah’s wife but she was also a barren woman

    Barrenness during this time period

    Considered to be from ill favor from the Lord

    Hannah and Samuel

    Elizabeth may have been a priest’s wife and she may have been barren

    But where was Elizabeth?

    She lived in the hill country of Judah

    Within walking distance of Nazareth

    She lived alone with her husband

    She was lonely having no children

    When she became pregnant as the angel Gabriel had told Zechariah, her husband

    She went into seclusion

    Her husband would have been educated and able to write

    She had probably been taught how to read by her husband

    For five months people were probably wondering There is Zechariah not able to speak, But where is Elizabeth

    After her time in seclusion these things occurred

    Jesus’ birth was foretold to a virgin named Mary

    The virgin Mary conceived Jesus in her womb

    Mary asked for a sign from the angel

    Mary decided to visit Elizabeth

    We can determine all these things happened after Elizabeth’s seclusion because the text says that Mary hurried to visit Elizabeth and this is what happened

    39 And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; 40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth. 41 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit; 42 and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me? 44 For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 And blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.

    Luke 1:39-45 (ASV)

    I look at this knowledge Elizabeth just spouts out and I say WOE!

    I wonder how Elizabeth knew that it was Mary that was carrying the Lord, then I ask myself Where was Elizabeth

    Elizabeth had been in seclusion for five months rejoicing in what God was bring to her through her child

    She was not going around in public flaunting this miracle

    No she was praying and contemplating the miracle of her son John

    She knew that he was the prophet foretold in the book of Malachi who would bring the nation of Israel back to God and prepare them for the Messiah

    Because Elizabeth was faithful in her seclusion we have been given one of the most beautiful passages of scripture ever recorded

    Two things Elizabeth accomplished by spending more time with God alone were:

    She gave a revelation of the Messiah to Mary and whoever else was around

    She encouraged Mary to sing one of the most magnificent songs attributed to Jesus

    That you can read about in Luke 1:46-55 (ASV)

    Two things come from spending secluded time with God

    Revelation and 2. Encouragement

    These two things fuel the kingdom of God-Revelation 19.10 says

    the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

    Rev 19:10 (ASV)

    Acts 2.17 says

    17 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of My Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams: 18 Yea and on My servants and on My handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy.

    Acts 2:17-18 (ASV)

    Jesus called John the Baptist the greatest prophet that ever lived-

    but even the least in the kingdom of heaven was greater than he was.

    This means-we are called to greatness in humility

    John the Baptist spent most of his time in seclusion in the desert eating locust and wild honey before the Lord.

    One day John came out of the wilderness and began preach and to baptize people.

    1 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying, 2 Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 Now John himself had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about the Jordan; 6 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

    7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance: 9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: 12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

    Matt 3:1-12 (ASV)

    John learned two things while in the desert alone with God

    The revelation of God granting repentance to the people and the hatred of God for the false religious teachings

    The encouragement of the people with the message that the Messiah was coming

    One thing we can learn from John is that scripture is the base for whatever God speaks to us.

    I will be bringing a sermon on Ezekiel and Peter on how God uses the same way of communicating to us as people before us in scripture.

    But today God is saying to us.- Spend time alone with me

    We can expect two things when God speaks to us in our quiet times

    Revelation about God’s view of our circumstances based on scripture

    Gaining a word of encouragement to give to other people

    God will honor you and help you if you spend time with him.

    So remember-Revelation and Encouragement

    Because of Zechariah we need to learn to trust what God reveals to us

    Because of Elizabeth we need to learn to make the choice to spend extended time with God–- even when he has already spoken to us so we may contemplate what he has said

    From John we can learn that an entire life can be spent in seclusion with God and everything will be alright so we can trust that during our busy schedule we can make time for God without worries of wasting time, because God will back up his voice with his written word.

    To sum up these three lessons from this family:

    Expect revelation and encouragement from God because of your quiet time.

    Trust what God reveals to you

    Learn to spend extended time with God

    Learn about your revelation from scripture

    With these, three things move forward.

    I am going to be very transparent right now and tell you how this teaching has affected me

    I was in Wal-Mart the other day and I saw this really pretty girl at the register……….(tell the story)

    After I walked away I felt Jesus tell me to ask her out so I trusted what he said and went back up to Wal-Mart, so I trusted what God was telling me

    Next I got a scripture confirmation. Scripture the blood moon

    I wanted to give her flowers and I felt that God wanted me to wait a month

    See God gives you the revelation and the encouragement. I received a word to simply ask this girl out and God gave me the encouragement.

    I guarantee you this: You honor this small family of three with the principles they learned and taught by their example and God will honor it fully.

    Jesus stated that the testimony of one was not sufficient what better testimony than this family to have as your defense of putting in the practice of a quiet time.

    My question to you today do you know where this family was when they received from God, and do you know where you are?

    Are you praying for revival in your secluded places, and are you willing to wait on the Lord to come?

    When Jesus comes we will sing songs just like Elizabeth and Mary and rejoice together in the Messiah.

    Do you know this Messiah? Are you willing to be vulnerable and alone with him?

    Aren’t you glad that God wants us to first come to him as children, then to go to the world?

    At this time I want you to prepare your heart to respond:

    I used to love to get alone with my dad and just pitch the baseball (Explain)

    I also used to bet God how many free throws I could make against his will to find me a girl friend

    14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

    Romans 8:14-17 (ASV)

    We’re God’s children. Abba is the same as saying PaPa like a little child.

    Altar call, today surrender yourselves to trust, wait, and depend on scripture.

    Remember every good decision in Christ has these three things 1. Trust in God, 2. Wait for God, 3. Depend on scripture

    We will be learning further about hearing from God like people in the Bible next time I preach.

    Today I want you to take the first step to receiving revelation and encouragement from God by spending a quiet time with the father when you go home today. Amen?

    This is good it’s ends with a quiet time request. This book can be my quiet time book it’s dedicated in section two Predestination story of the lights. We’ll get me to paragraph to Bible verses . The section there is my introduction

    William Blake Arrington. Author and Artist Pastor And Friend

    My Psalm 73……

    1. Yes, The God of the Pilgrims has been good to America

    Forever is He patient with all who take the quest

    2. Closely, I had followed as a sheep after things I should not

    Caught in my bog I sank so ever slowly

    3. I had let my thoughts wander

    Ever so far away from thine

    4. Coats and boots they wore in winter time

    Kindness was far from them calling mine boats

    5. Stares of delight at each other

    Prosper was a familiar care

    6. Their minds were lewd but they prospered

    Hair never falling from place and diamonds in pairs

    7. Making light music in their hearts together

    Forever it seemed they had no quaking

    8. Flawless in speech and talking as princes and kings

    Rings round their finger as they spoke lawlessly

    9. Their cause for life always on key

    Making for nothing them to care

    10. Flocks of swans following together

    Mothers approving their laughs

    11. Clear of any guilt they saturated the air

    Hear this and that but God not near

    12. Here they are together

    Whether they care, think, or hear

    13. Oh, how I followed them in their ways

    Days wasted not heeding where to go

    14. A long time I have spent regretting the waste

    Safe for me was not a place to stay

    15. Filth, cowardice, sin the officials will say

    Days wasted going after wealth

    16. Their tears and jeers would haunt me

    See how I would waste away in tears

    17. When you spoke to me that day

    Encounter with God that freed me from sin

    18. While they are sinners and fiends all astray

    A way has been made for them for a while

    19. After a while they will be guilty before God

    Sad a way they then will not have

    20. Despise them for their cheating

    Weaken their hold on the earth’s eyes

    21. I do not envy their way

    Pray although because they die

    22. Like an owl I was before you

    Should I say that I saw in the night

    23. So shall it be in my heart

    Cart me away from them I will go

    24. Take me up today in your arms

    Harm is held off from me because of your gates

    25. You are my deliverer and friend

    Kind people surround me in love

    26. You have made the shadows leave

    Cleave to my hand and my heart too

    27. The ungodly perish away from home

    Tons of garbage and waste, await them far from thee

    28. To your child you cling with everlasting love

    Home is not this earth but it is forever with you

    FIRST SECTION: PROVERBS BY BLAKE ARRINGTON

    Hark! I sought for a man with understanding

    There were no cities with a man of belief

    There were no homes with a man of deep contemplation

    Who can a man trust?

    The one who is firm makes patient decisions

    The hurried find desolation hurriedly

    The man without money knows nothing and cannot enact his own will

    The one who is wise has enough good things to supply his neighbor and

    The chief of all men wipes his hands and gives his napkin to his child

    My father once told me to

    Be quick but do not hurry

    Quickness without knowledge leads to desolation

    So be prepared everyday to handle life

    Life is fast passed because people get a lot done

    Why should we slow down they say

    They are like children moving from one toy to the next

    Slow down! Do a few things even

    If your child has to finish them or

    You are living to create yourself a name

    It will give them something to do when you are gone

    And things will not be so hurried

    They will honor you at its completion as well as your apprentice

    The fool says in his heart, It seems that way but,

    The wise have had enough of that hot air

    Fools contemplate the ways of each other while

    The wise contemplates God’s word

    The wise see God’s word and it contemplates their lives before their eyes

    Like having trouble putting your hand in your pocket,

    So is the push from the Lord to succeed

    Every man tries to reconcile his thoughts but

    The wise take care in doing so for

    Excuses will only deter their gain of insight

    The Lord says twice I have heard the righteous but

    The wicked are silenced before him

    Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding and

    Truth will be found at your doorstep

    You will reach out and grasp it or

    It will be found at your destination

    A good soldier is brave against the enemy

    A great soldier takes commands from his superior

    The best soldier tell his men to fight and then eat breakfast

    A wise man ask God a question and

    The fool questions the Lord’s authority

    The world was created in God’s image to resemble the Lord

    The world was created in the identity of man to worship God through his image

    A horse is for his master yet

    The feed comes from the master’s hand

    A kinged prince should fasten his boot while

    A slave made king should only wiggle his toes

    A good mother causes her children to speak with strength but

    A shameful woman is ridiculed by her peers

    A daughter’s love brings about tears of joy and

    A rebellious child brings redness to the eyes

    He that sits in comfort pleases himself

    The braggart holds his own cup to his mouth

    The righteous will drink of the wealth of kings

    Many are those whom the Lord sees but

    Only the righteous find his favor

    The wicked caste a proud look up and

    The wise will only look to their destination

    Many are the ways of the earth

    The ways of the wicked are plentiful but

    The way of the righteous is simple; they are few in number

    Many people will say My God but

    Only a few will not be counted as cursing

    See to it that you heed the wisdom of your spouse

    Giving her heed will preserve the lives of your children

    A righteous woman is the treasure of her husband

    She tells him of her goodness

    He will praise her for all her good deeds

    Son of mine, God is not seen by me for

    He has made himself invisible to my eyes

    Daughter of Zion, God is lovely for

    He has made himself seen to my eyes

    To my tears I will confess,

    God is far above my human understanding for

    He is neither; visible or invisible,

    But to my heart I will say,

    God is always present for He touches my heart.

    The wise have said he is invisible,

    The wiser have seen his hand,

    The wisest have said he is far above our own understanding

    Where is God?

    A man removes his spectacles to see what he can truly see,

    So is a man with God when he removes all his wisdom and admits to the trouble with his eyes.

    The weakest part of a man brings his son’s into existence

    And it is his weakness that gives them life

    They come into the world weak

    He is a strength to them

    He gives them instruction on how to use their own weakness

    They become strong because of his teaching

    From weakness comes strength but not without instruction

    Stores are full of books and houses full of learning

    Fathers who are wise do not approve of lucid reading

    The ones who chose many select many in return

    The few who choose wisely accept little in return

    This is true and good because the quality of few decisions outweighs

    the honor of getting a lot done.

    The wise accept their fate through solid precepts

    The fool simply counts wisdom a shame

    There are few who deal wisely with money

    There are more who deal wisely with time

    There are too many examples of the lazy who know nothing of money or time

    The lazy are trampled underfoot by those who are in debt

    And they will not be pitied by those who are rich

    It is better to work hard for a little than be unemployed

    The rich know how to take a loss no matter how much money they have

    How can we reconcile what we lose?

    The benefit is to open the door for trust rather than supply ourselves gain

    He that causes people to trust is wealth beyond money.

    Drop in a good word to your neighbor,

    But do not invite yourself to dinner,

    and he will cherish you,

    and give you his grass to walk upon.

    Sometimes an untrue illustration gives light to the oppression of too much thought

    But the illustration will only conquer the falsehood of the mind if it is a truly an oxymoron.

    My children do not lie but do not be stiffed necked

    The evil use truths to tell lies but the wise use untruths to illustrate their passion for godliness.

    A friend can tell a good joke that is untrue but your enemy will always use truth against you.

    God is true and his truth shines like the dawn there is no one hidden from his light for too long.

    Be sure your sins will find you out so do not pressure the sinner to repentance.

    The artist is grand but the writer is more specific.

    God created the world for us to look upon and his words to meditate on daily.

    His word holds great knowledge revealed while the world is to be discovered through exploration.

    Inspiration comes from the debtor to the words of God and freedom to the explorer of his creation.

    The smoker advances in years and gives the example of youth grown old.

    He gives precedence to others while wishing he had not.

    God is neither invisible or visible.

    These are all human understandings.

    Who has ever seen God or comprehended him.

    To say I have seen or not seen the Lord is communication

    The fact is he is far beyond our comprehension yet

    We perceive him through earthly knowledge

    No man has seen God he is far above the heavens

    How can one see anything but what he can perceive through earthly wisdom

    No one has counseled God or understood him.

    He speaks to us to follow because he is so great.

    He humbles himself to speak in our language to our hearts

    God is the water and we are the cup

    My son allow God to pour into you and tame your heart

    The things in your heart become your thoughts

    Worship the Lord and he will soften you to see truth

    As a man thinks so is his heart

    Guard your heart and be wise in using it

    You will never fall short of a goal when you have reasoned it out correctly

    Take heed to honor the simple and this will give you a good heart

    Your soul will be saved and your name preserved

    A man missing his childhood grows upset at a stubborn father

    His eyes are fixed on him for love but he is given a sigh instead

    This father loves his son as an adult but it is not comprehended

    Father’s love your son’s or they will not understand you when they are older.

    A neglected son hates his aging father even if there is love

    So father’s raise up your sons to love the word of the Lord

    Teach them to honor the commandments and their mother

    Do not be hasty to make them like yourself but rather win their approval

    Give them freedom by reading to them and praying for their needs

    Put them to bed with God’s word under their arms

    Do not be selfish and do not give into a whiner

    Open your arms for an embrace from a disobedient son

    Do not caste him down but do not leave him unpunished

    A father who repents of his son will not lead his children to repentance

    Raise up a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it when he is older

    He will return to your teaching if you treat him with kindness

    He will delight in you in your old age

    The government will sit on his shoulders and the people fall at his feet

    The goal of the Law is to believe

    He that has the Law and does not believe is a curse

    But he that believes is more than a Law abider

    The Law abider can get proof, but he that believes also reaps comfort

    From the rich to the poor- all men suffer but only the one with belief finds comfort

    The rich find solace in materials, the poor in their own self righteousness

    The one who believes in God finds comfort in the Law of obedience

    He that does not believe only seeks to gain position before God not acceptance

    There are two positions before God yes only two

    They are not favor and curse nor right and wrong

    There is only childlike and wayward

    Everyone knows God as a child but they stick not to it

    Is it not God who brings forth speech and gives discernment to infants

    Out of the mouth of babes he brings forth a bulwark

    Children can be disobedient for a time without being wayward

    But the wayward stick to their disobedience, like fly paper

    They will never escape the wrath of God

    When I was stubborn I went astray but now I keep your word

    Now I count myself as a person

    Once I was his son whom He taught to speech and calisthenics

    Now I am a broken man who leans on his mercy

    Does not the shepherd break the limbs of a wayward lamb

    I am still his child of my infancy because he has taught me

    But now I am his person a man of great knowledge he has taught me

    I was rebuked for giving my child nature to sin

    Praise the Lord for his commandments that have preserved me

    I am a child and a person before him

    He invested in me as his child and made me into a man

    I will have a temperament of his choosing

    I can choose now the obedience of my childhood or the waywardness of youth

    I am a person but will I allow God Almighty the Abba of my infancy to save me

    Deliverance belongs to the Lord and the weak seek shelter in numbers

    A good cause is worthy of defense but too much violence hinders progress

    A good word causes one to think and a good deed provokes

    There are sheep and those who slumber

    They both pass the time lying in the field

    But only one arises to the Shepherd’s call

    Master’s know there servants by names

    A good name for a good servant

    Even kings serve the people

    He who is not a servant has not a good name

    Spitting may relieve some tension but

    It can cause a tussle if your aim is poor

    Some mouths are meant for spitting and

    Others are meant for kissing

    The difference is what makes a man vile or sweet.

    A man made sour can be made sweet again by

    Repenting and confessing his sins

    He that confesses and forsakes his sin will have mercy

    Kiss the kings feet least he become angry

    Son, I have been a horrible man

    I have borne the sins of my people

    Cursed was I in my youth

    People said there was no hope in him

    Listen, remember that obedience reaps reward

    And an evil tongue gives a bitter taste

    Stir up goodness and people will hear

    Give them evil and they will turn their ears

    My mother put soap in my mouth when I cursed

    Keep your speech as sweet as the strawberries

    Even though they are sweet they still have flavor

    Season your words with the joy of honey and

    Keep your tongue from strange meats

    Mother’s teach your son to speak with honor

    Wash his mouth with a bar of soap but

    Give him honey afterwards to teach him how to speak

    If his speech is poor he will spit it out

    But if it is rich it will be as sweet as honey

    I was far from God at my entry into manhood

    Before I got too far my mother called me back

    I was one two years away from her teaching but

    Now I wash my own mouth out with soap if I speak dirty

    I no longer need to eat too much honey

    I have found that the taste of honey is easy to remember

    But the soap I forget time to time

    It is not good to eat too much honey

    Nor is it good to eat too much soap

    Learn to speak and then you can obey God

    The tongue is the bridle of the body

    The news of men rattles the brain and

    The youth do not understand unless they are taught

    The news of peers can make the youth go astray

    Unless the father’s instructions are seasoned with salt

    Salt may sting the eyes but

    It will keep the eyes blinded to sweet things

    As a child I loved to eat sweets

    As I grew older I loved to eat vegetables

    Salt is for vegetables or for ruining sweets

    Fathers raise your children by ruining their sweet pleasures

    And giving them work to do

    Mothers raise your children to speak unto you like a child

    Children speak to your father in wisdom

    And bless your kind mother

    If you cannot speak then be silent for

    A silent bird still builds a nest and flies

    She will not always be silent

    She will sing her song to her babies one day

    Do not speak out of turn it will only deter business

    Although a friend who interrupts can be funny

    We speak of God in images and illustrations

    But God is not found unless you seek him

    Education is clever but prayer gives one wisdom

    God makes wise the simple

    He is a clever God but he also is unheard of

    He remains apparent and disappears to the wicked

    Only the pure in heart will know him

    Everyone else will only see his cleverness but

    They will never understand his mystery

    They say in their hearts God is too mysterious

    They refuse to seek him because he goes unseen

    They only see the love in the wicked and injustice in the righteous

    They are fools who say there is no God

    Listen to them sing their drunken song

    They base everything on their own cleverness

    They do not pray and they do not seek God

    Foolishness is in their hearts like a baboon

    As a young man grows God rejoices

    He hears The Lord’s song as a taunt

    But when he is older he remembers the funny tune

    He is made glad by his memory and

    He knows that he is now a man

    Bandits cause foul winds to stir

    As a young man who cheats to get in the army

    Cowards are like a no good poison

    They will never kill any cockroaches

    Kings suffer for their ignorance

    But they will make up for it with patients

    Taste gives birth to choice like

    A man given to the earth births forth

    Remorse and great joy

    Sight makes way for the beauty of a child

    While the beauty of the Lord is in the heart

    Touch sees in the dark as well as

    A man who knows only a little

    Hearing plays its role as an actor

    Who stars his talent in a drama

    Scent make a birth reality as

    A sweet aroma declares ceremony

    Senses give us perception of the earth

    Like a true relationship gives us

    Adequate cause to believe in God

    Who knows the heart but God

    Then how do we know intentions

    Does not God speak to us about each other

    The greatest preacher is not always the best advisor

    His focus is on proving his point not yours

    Preachers are for motivation of ideas

    Advisors seek to mature you

    A preacher may advise when he learns his preaching is for cheers

    While his advisement is meant to reveal not to convince

    Once I was counseled and I lost hope because of my past

    Then the Lord sent an advisor to prepare me for my future

    The past can never be replaced why dig it up

    Look to the future where the promise lies

    Remember your past do not let it haunt you

    Learn from your mistakes and from those who have hurt you

    Do not say I will not be hurt again

    Embrace true pains as if they were a spouse

    Do not forget your sins or they will come back

    A disgraced youth suffered from disgraceful men

    He will rise above the disgrace if he prays

    The disgraceful men will never pray clearly again

    God shames then for life like a tree with a disease

    They have committed heinous sins and passed them down

    The youths will rejoice in another man’s teaching

    Oh there was a wicked yes a perverse group of men who raised me

    I was shamed because I followed them and they cried

    They knew they were wrong

    They were as stupid as teens

    They were as stupid as loose teens

    They caused many to go astray

    But God found me when I was humbled

    They will keep their sins

    They will always have troubles

    They give God a bad name

    They will suffer in this life

    But God will reward me for leaving them behind

    They influence people to this day

    They make people sad

    They have troubled my soul

    They make me vomit

    But God will rescue me from the trouble

    Young fathers who go astray have children who go astray

    A mother’s teaching can save her child in the day of calamity

    Review of your education is far greater than learning something new

    Like hoping in a dream instead of giving up for a new path

    Do not go astray into many words although

    Some people speak longer than others

    A man sick in the throat eats bland foods

    A spice will make him return to his vomit

    So will a fool return to his folly as a dog

    A mirror may rob a man’s soul but

    Looking at his reflection should make him awe

    Jealousy is rude as a rotten tomato

    And the fruits of kindness can spoil

    But the everlasting word of God will preserve

    Looks can be deceiving!

    Every man says he is handsome

    They are right. Everyone today is beautiful

    What has happened to the world

    This is my theory

    Sin corrupts and sin is lessening

    How can this be true with all the ludeness?

    Ludness is one thing but the respect is growing

    There is a greater respect for God in the world today

    Look at the past with all their so-called holy violence?

    Religions are now beginging to do their part

    The people of God are praying

    This is new news to the world

    If it gets better even the ugly duckling will be beautiful

    This is because of the absence of sin

    But this is a warning the beauty will corrupt and it already does

    We are in a cycle to meet the day of the Lord head on

    Beware if you think you are beautiful

    With great beauty comes greater accountability

    All men will be judged for what they do with what they are given

    100 books are for the scholar who likes to read

    10 books is for the scholar who likes to know something

    Choose your books wisely as to say

    I am a beginner with everyone of them

    Do not constantly learn about one subject

    Balance gives way to understanding history

    Fiction can entertain for the moment

    But a testimony can encourage for a long time

    Do not
