THE SUNDAY SCHOOL MOVEMENT

 

  

According to upper management, ie the son of God, children are the reason we are here. The Sunday school movement started well before possibly the civil war but I'll check into that. Anyway I know that there was a Sunday school movement in Britain back during the industrialization because the children work so many hours to support their families that it was necessary to educate them on Sunday and thus Sunday school was born and continues to this day.

FRIDAY THE 13TH

 You know who I am. You guys are much better looking than I am but I still play the piano better than you. I am now 78 years old and partially disabled with lymphedema and have to keep my feet elevated constantly or a lot. My biggest regret, but it was in the hands of the Lord, is that I wasn't there for Pat's funeral, but I did have a nice dream probably symbolic but I'm sure it actually happened that there was a nice little get-together in heaven and Pat was introducing Lynn with an e to come up to the front of the venue. Angels in tuxedos were ushering. I became aware that I was sitting next to Mrs royer and she turned to me and said I wanted you to sing that at Pat's funeral and I sputtered and tried to explain that I was taking care of Mary who was disabled with Alzheimer's when I woke up and realized it was the most beautiful dream. Make of it what you will. But I can still play the piano better than you two.

TORNADO ALLEY

 Do you guys remember coming back from beardstown where Uncle John was the preacher and we drove by Kankakee cuz back then that's how you went and we looked up at the administration building and a corner had been ripped off and then we stopped for gas at the gas station and Dad had been explaining that it was tornado Alley and we talked to the gas station guy and he said is it true that this is tornado alley and he said you see these two gas tanks here Big huge tanks and he said do you see that that third one across the highway and I said yes and he said that used to be over here and they just built around it. Whether he was pulling my leg or whether it was a true story I can't go back and find out cuz he's probably not here anymore. And that was US 41 or is it 51 was the main road down south to Southern Illinois.

This is a raw feed.

DEFENDING JESSICA

This is a picture of my oldest daughter at her wedding to Tim. I'm not giving last names here. Anyway, Tim was my daughter's training officer at Roseland Police department. Tim was enlisted by in a sense his father who at that time was the county officer monitoring the call center so I think he's in this picture. This is South bend Indiana and that of course means that Tim and his father are Catholics and I am an evangelical but since I was wildly upset well maybe maybe wildly is a better word I wanted to say mildly upset at the evangelicals although I am a gospel preacher die hard I was upset because of amendment 18 and 19 about prohibition because they eliminated pretty much all of the tariffs for quite some time until people nations started taking advantage of us. Which brings us to modern America here in the 20th century. For many years perhaps 20 or perhaps of the start of 2000 1 I had been praying for a president that understood the power of tariffs and I originally prayed although I am a consistent supporter of the Republican party but not a consistent lackey blind believer in everything they do and one of them has been the numbnuts that have been supporting libertarianism. So that brings us to our current state. I originally enlisted my daughters to stand with me on the abortion issue but not because it's called abortion but because they were abusing bodily autonomy. That brings us up to today. 

Finally we have a president who at first was a Democrat but because he's almost identical to me except he's a lot better looking and he's also a lot more loaded with money I'm just I'm doing good but I'm not loaded I won't have a whole lot to split up between the kids other than my piano and the one piece of furniture a German hope chest that came from Germany possibly in the '30s not sure when. So that's why my daughters and Jessica all voted for Kamala but my friends from my mental health group on substack led by the historical Oracle Don would speak badly of Jessica and I take things personally just like I did when the Wisconsin Green Bay Packers snuck up behind Jim McMahon and threw him on his shoulder which led to a life time injury that somewhat limited his ability. So this will explain the final comment that I made. 

 Well boys and girls, it seems that you will have to subscribe to the historical Oracle Don on substack to find out the rest of this comment I didn't mean to do that but I just promoted Don unnecessarily. And he is a great journalist when it comes to history and I recommend all of it his books and you can find him on Amazon under DON SURBER. Later Gators. 
 

A NOTE TO THE FOUR OLDEST SIBLINGS

Wrote this note to the siblings Tim Terry Ted and Julia to let them know and Ted know just how excellent he did and it's also kind of a summary of the service. Ted and Julia dittmer are my brother and sister-in-law and they are current pastors of the Davis Wesleyan Church.

Oh did I have fun today I haven't had so much fun for a long long time and I hate to say it but my first preference is now going to be my brother's church because he did everything excellent excellent excellent. Julia excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent. I count those because I count everything. And we're setting out protocols. Charles Xavier has first choice on which church to go to on perhaps every other Sunday perhaps once a month perhaps every third Sunday but I will be writing until the money runs out and that's the oil money and all the extra and Rebecca feels I need to start paying off my funeral etc etc or unless the family steps in and says we'll take care of it after you die but then remember if you die first well don't worry about that. Now, does anybody doubt me when I said management talked to me and told me... It's. All. Set. Up. That might have actually happened but I just didn't see it when Ted drove up to help me move Mary. To me that's what it seemed like God intervened but I know I received those four words sometime in July on 2023 and Mary passed away at between 2:00 and 3:00 on August the 3rd.

REVELATION CHAPTER 12, AGAIN.

Hopefully this will be my last comment and I remember what I was thinking about when I originally started. This whole thing of Revelation chapter 12 May end up with America being the dog and Europe and Britain being the tail although that's really an unfair thing to say it would be more like part of the same organization Western civilization although they are struggling with some of the terms such as free speech especially. I know the business people of Singapore and all of those that love Elon musk are really into this because that's my biggest audience in blogspot and since I don't need to make any money on it I'm quite happy to stay there and I'm slowly oozing into substack but I have to be careful about my bank balance. Fortunately or unfortunately I made a lot of money while I was working and my paychecks outstripped the company president which caused some jealousy among some of the women but not any of the men. And now I'm having problems with oil money which I just got two checks for $500 and a periodic check of $100 and I have no idea how often that's going to come in but I have a lot of leeway on my funeral expenses and who knows maybe I'll get a car if it gets that bad although it's going to have to be something I could drive straight to church and right here in town we'll see. Maybe now I'm done. Maybe.

FLAT CHESTED PATIENCE

Before my beloved Mary, my second wife who died of Alzheimer's rather than cancer like my first wife, passed away on August 3rd of 2023 at three in the morning and she was GONE IN 60 SECONDS, another message from management slowly oozed into my consciousness and I do mean oozed. First, there was the comparison between slowly and Tai chi. When I exercise slowly it builds strength. Then the eureka moment came just a day or two ago. Patience. I had already done a study of the first three chapters of the Revelation. Got that one right this time. Basically it says he that endures to the end shall be saved. If your salvation experience doesn't produce endurance than it is worthless. Or will be when we face our judge. That's going to be the name of my girlfriend. Patience. It's actually a rollator that I now have to take with me everywhere because of my balance issues. She has a flat chest and a flat butt but she can carry a heavy load. 

ISRAELI DERANGEMENT SYNDROME

Today is March 4th, 2026 the second day of my 78 th birthday celebration. It has been not only a good month with a great year but for me it has been living proof that God is alive and may I say kicking ass although he's a lot more gentle about that then people give him credit for for he is indeed a shepherd not only the father and son but the holy Spirit and although I technically could be called a trinitarian I could also be called a unitarian but I don't ride a unicycle. Right now two of my best buddies are atheistic Jews but only one of them follows me back on X. She sent me this meme. The other one runs a video podcast called club random which has some of the best interviews ever. He may be too sarcastic for some but it's pretty hard for anybody to be too sarcastic for me. That's all for now.

POPEYE AND PROVIDENCE

In the year 2023 Mary, my second wife, was declining in health. She was under the care of hospice. During that time God was speaking to me but it was so slowly I didn't realize it was a holy Spirit Revelation or as I like to say an email from upper management. The word was Tai chi or slowly and as I observed and learned more and more I learned how powerful things that happen slowly change things of glacier movements changing the shapes of mountains. 10 days before Mary's death and I knew we were drawing close I got another insight from upper management in four words. I know I've said this before but it's worth repeating again. It's. All. Set. Up. At first I thought it only applied just to Mary's death but as things moved along and the transition to my new home in garden Court apartments here on East Pennsylvania avenue moved along, and then I watched the elections and God was answering another prayer that I had prayed for probably close to 20 years or more and that was a president who understood tarrifs. 

Matthew 24 began to speak to me and also Revelations 12 and then I understood maybe a little bit too clearly just what God was doing. God has always had his hand over his people and he protects them although he does allow them to suffer sometimes greatly for the children of Israel and their offshoots through the birth death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ who gladly called themselves the despised name of Christians. My daughters and sometimes even some other friends think that I might be delusional and my reputation of being so fearless somewhat contributes to that. But like Popeye I yam what's I yam.

DUMBASS MAN. ANGRY WOMEN.

As usual I have a slightly different take. This is because I understand two things. I understand the importance of keeping a marriage together. I don't claim to be an expert I just have lived to two wives consecutively not simultaneously. Politics is is like a marriage. For a long time and I'm not sure when this started, two parties have been living in separate homes. They used to get along so well. But because of the lack of understanding in the Republicans, they were acting stupid like dumbass men who think they can run their lives without any input from their wife. That's the story of the Democratic party since the time of Franklin Roosevelt . Thankfully Eleanor Roosevelt talk to him to doing some Democratic socialist things that actually turned out to be fairly successful. But men have to understand that the wife is pretty resilient and can put up with a lot of stupidity and autistic behavior from men or a man but when it comes to harming their children You're going to find out that you have to go to sleep sometime as Sisera did. Deborah was a judge during the book of Judges. I suspect she had already raised her children and was well known for her wisdom so she would sit under a shade tree and people could come and visit her and ask for advice. Now the name of the commander is mentioned and the enemy is mentioned but the wife of the Kennite tribe isn't named. When the attacking general was put to flight she was watching for his approaching and opened the door of her tent and talked to him into coming in and she fed him some wine and probably sour milk or cheese and he was very exhausted and sleepy and he laid down on the floor of the tent and as the Bible says, she nailed him. I mean literally, she nailed his head to the sandy floor of the tent. Huge sharp spikes kept the tents anchored in the unpredictable soil which could be sandy or gravelly depending on their location. And now you know why you need to keep your wife happy. It's for your own safety, dumbass.

MARCH 1ST, 2026

I am being sarcastic of course. Yesterday was March 1st. It truly came in like the old saying says like a lion and hopefully on March 31st it'll go out like a lamb. Actually, this started on February 28th. My birthday is on March 3rd. On August third, 2023, my second wife, and just so that you know, I waited my first wife died before I married my second wife Mary, I received two messages from upper management. The first oozed into my consciousness so slowly that I didn't realize it was a message from the Lord which is what I mean by upper management. In the Asian language is actually two words Tai chi. Tai chi means in English slowly. Something that older people understand is that when you do things more slowly the movement also makes you stronger. 

The second message came approximately 10 days before Mary's death. It was four words. It's. All. Set. Up. 

If you've read my book which is available on Amazon, THE RAIN PARABLES, you will understand that God has taken me on a journey that reveals the power of specific prayer. The reason why I say specific is because a lot of people think that prayer is just positive vibes or negative vibes and there is some partial truth to that. But God is not a force alone but an actual personality. 

Just in case I haven't said it, the four words were.. it's. All. Set. Up. 

To briefly review, God answered my prayer for a president who understood as Christ did the power of tariffs. And The words from management were referring to that. Along with my concern for the health of my second wife and the change that was coming about by her eminent death, I was living proof of both power of prayer and the power of God. 

That's enough for now boys and girls. Stay tuned.

SALTY LIME TRAVEL

I'm sending this post to my daughter, who argues politics with me and is sure that I am deluded. She won't come around to the conclusion that I'm right on everything until she hits menopause and then she'll be like Margaret Thatcher. She voted for Hillary but felt like God would strike her with lightning for doing that then she voted libertarian when Biden ran for president, and then Kamala Harris with a clear conscience? She agrees the border should be closed and that ICE should pull out the worst but she would have so many restraints on ice that they would not be able to do their job. She was formerly a legal secretary, then became a cop and married her training officer. She's also a travel agent and she's planning to go soon to Puerto Vallarta because she's observed that the violence there is greatly exaggerated. SALTY LIME TRAVEL AGENCY is her Facebook page and yes, like my current president and favorite president I never back down from a bully and try not to miss any opportunity to promote someone else that I love.

BLINDERS ON ENEMIES

It's amazes me how God puts blinders on his enemies, because they embrace death. His enemies turned their back on the responsibility of children, so they allow by law abortion and obscure it's savagery with gentle sounding words. That's why everything they touch turns to trash. The same goes for those who hate Jews and Christians so much that they embrace the death by suicide, much like the Japanese when they fought against us in world war II, believing that their discipline and savagery would defeat the softness of Americans and underestimated The fierceness of the farm boys and city kids who were taught by their mothers since the time of King George III to never back down from a bully. 

As always, your article was excellent, Don.
