THE OUTDOORSMAN

 I am going to make some outrageous claims. I would appreciate your patience. I cannot answer all your questions now. 

I think for the next several weeks I'm going to start with the subject of outdoorsmen. It will be a common theme possibly from now on. 

You will begin to understand some men if you stick to two common themes. A real man loves the outdoors. 

The women who love real men also love the outdoors. 

Outdoorsmen are geniuses. Let me suggest one example. Abraham Lincoln. 

I do better if I take my time and I love the outdoors myself. So this is all I will share for now. I am sitting on my bed with my faithful companion Betty White. She's black and white and has a mustache like Hitler and sleeps on the bed with me and has a lovely fur coat. I'm going to get in my chariot and tour the court quietly. I need to purchase or find a fluorescent vest for the outdoors. Maybe I'll put on one of my flashing flashlight that get on the forehead. So I don't scare this s*** out of my neighbors. It's nice that my secretary pixel 6 edits my language because I've been hanging around outdoorsman since I was 3 years old actually younger than that. 

Later Gators. I'll put a picture with this later.

RACIAL STUPIDITY

 I am a movie lover, drama, action, and especially historical drama. I have been watching God flush out The American soul through the lessons of history racial stupidity. My mother, who also strongly taught me to stand up to bullies, also taught us that black people were made in the image of God. We had a lovely gentle woman who worked part-time for us when my mother worked full-time. Her name was Sally. She only had to supervise in the loosest of ways we children for we were what would now be called free range children in the days when neighborhoods had a much higher standard of supervision and neighbors were responsible for each other. One day Sally accidentally stepped on our lazy cat and broke her back. My hard headed brother picked up some bad language from my cousins and called Sally the n-word. Sally quit that day. My mother made the Spanish Inquisition of me and asked me what happened and because of my testimony reluctantly, me not her, she washed his mouth out with soap I was a witness of that. Tim doesn't remember. 

I am watching hotel Rwanda starring Don cheadle which talks about racial profiling done by the belgiums between the tootsies and the hutus and the deep racial resentment cost a mental illness among the hutus. Mental illness in a collective sense is extremely dangerous and stupid. People will do collectively what they wouldn't have the nerve to do individually. 

At this time our government was being ruled by lawyers. My opinion and I am only guessing is that lawyers were ruling the United States because of the over a thousand years of collective stupidity by men maybe even further back. Men had greater knowledge since the time of Adam and Eve. God is strictly holding men accountable and in the United States he decided to give women at their request the opportunity to vote. Would you mind if I said the s*** hit the fan. Now there were divorce lawyers. And men c

ould go so far but no further and if a woman got tired of it she could hire a lawyer and divorce the dumbass. This took a while to work out. There are a multitude of consequences when we do that but it's still settling out. 

Now here's the rub. Leaving lawyers in charge of world government for too long is also stupid not for the women but for the rest of the world because God raised up United States to stand up to bullies. At the same time we finally got our act together and created a nation for safe Haven with the Jewish people. And at the same time God started building an army slowly not for colonization but to protect those other people that are being bullied. 

So now we are watching the transition from lawyers to warriors. It's in Revelation. I've talked about it. Do your own research. Don't bother me with silly questions. I love you guys but you need to straighten up. And let me announce two things. I have given up my war against daylight savings time. Sigh. I don't think the world is going to change with me. I am also giving up my one man wore against the stupidity of Republicans and I'm going to become truly and I'm saying now I'm rolling my eyes bipartisan. Before you cheer too much for Democratic people remember I am rolling my eyes and I still don't put up with any b*******. We need to do like we've done for many years and learn to get along together. 

One more story and I'm done. I have the two fiercest I most wonderful daughters a man could ask for. Fortunately or unfortunately I taught them both to be free thinkers and really I don't think we have a choice. I also did not discipline them like we were soldiers instead I played games for their safety talk them how to freeze so that they wouldn't run out into the street. And I was very careful how I discipline them. And I told them that I was bending them like branches on a vine with a soft cloth. Although I did cut some extracurricular at branches off when it was going off some wild crazy direction but because I was always gentle they kind of didn't mind although the older one caught more hell than the younger one the younger one watched from learn from watching the older one. When I spanked Rebecca for the last time Wendy was watching and she was a quick study like her mother and she was never spanked. 

Well now it's time for me to wrap up this diatribe I do love the sound of my own voice but it's time for me to say later Gators. Read Revelation especially chapter 12. And no it's not a prophecy in the sense that you can tell exactly when things are happening but instead after it's done you can say oh that's what it meant. Stay tuned.

MENUDO SOUP PART 2

 I just had a very pleasant bowl of menudo soup, on top of ramen noodles, on top of Campbell's chicken gravy, and mixed with organic low sodium chicken broth? In honor of a former restaurant owner who I think is now down in Mexico thanks to the machinations of politics. Now I'm going to tell you about my favorite Democrats. Let's start with Jessica tarloff. She reminds me of my daughters and also my friend that all voted for Kamala. Now I'm going to be controversial but one have I ever stopped that before. I'm going to say Bill and Hillary Clinton. They've done a lot more good than my somewhat insane MAGA friends WILL ADMIT OOPS I had to take the caps off. Are you sufficiently riled up and ready to block me dear Republican friends. Does anybody remember the days when we could discuss this openly and not get into piss fights I might leave that I meant to say fist. Continuing on because I don't know when to shut up when I'm ahead did I just hear some amens? I have now come around reluctantly but still honestly because my one weakness is I can't lie I can be delusional but I can't lie My new favorite Democrat slowly is... Drum roll please. The Obama's. I can hear the you know what hitting the fan now. But I really am and want to be bipartisan and I have voted for Democrats in the past although I will say they were from southbound and pro-life. I think that's enough for now boys and girls. I am going to post this on the shepherd's journal.

Menudo soup

 Proud, bitter SELF hangs DEAD on a cross... Jesus touches... I am REBORN! #wisdompoet

I had to yell at a dear friend today. He started to mention that Trump was a convicted child molester and I stopped him from continuing his diatribe by saying the following. 

Politics is insanity. It reminds me of two tribes of monkeys in two big cages throwing s*** at each other. Then I reminded him that I had prayed for his sister when she had suffered a severe car accident that the family was greatly concerned that the husband might come back and try to murder her. Because I am a friend of God and prayed specifically that God would place two angels by her door, later as she came out of her coma she pointed to the two angels and tried to pop up quietly or pipe up quietly pointing to the two men in white at the door and my friend lean down and hurt her say that and she still testifies to this day that she saw them and while she was in her coma she saw her Grandma and Grandpa who were in heaven and told her that she had to go back. Then I said my friend was Mr peanut gallery and he needed to man up and learn how to shut up and be quiet and listen. It may be quite a while before he speaks to me again. That's all for today boys and girls.

I'm adding these pictures because my manly friend has a father from Mexico and the two of them taught me how to love menudo soup.

7 DAY STATS

I am very blessed. THE SHEPHERD'S JOURNAL on blogspot gets stats back every 7 days. I took a picture of the first 20 although I think only 15 shows up. But it also shows major countries and I was really excited to see that Russia is now checking in. It's not detailed enough to tell me how many but that's still exciting news. 

 

TRUMP AND CHRIST

 

Many people are expecting Trump to act like Jesus Christ. What they don't understand is that there are actually two and here I am searching for the word, seasons of Christ. There is the humble side of Christ how we are to live on this earth and the resurrected Christ that is revealed in Revelation and some of the prophecies. 

I look at Revelation almost like a newspaper but you have to use a timeless viewpoint or a larger viewpoint than the here and now or the there and then. 

I am totally committed to the authority of the word of God and the dependability of the word of God but I don't want to get into the thickets of debating one word. As my dad used to say, My dog is not in that fight. Or as I like to say, I am not a theologian or a scholar or a profit. I'm a musician. 

A brief summary of a couple of observations about the book of Revelation. The first observation is that chapter 12 is unfolding right now. The wilderness that John spoke of was an even known to their world. We did not discover The Americas until the Vikings discovered it in the second millennium AD. 

The American Spirit centers around a low tolerance for bullies. Everybody has a different way of handling them. My mother's way was to offer me a bowl of ice cream every time I came home beat up as long as I could promise her that I stood up to the bully. That American spirit of standing up to bullies, in my opinion, is seen in our current president. 

Another observation is revelation chapter 2: 26 and 27, where are the resurrected Christ says he that endures severe persecution will rule with a rod of iron. Again, my observation is that that refers directly to Donald Trump and what his opponents did to stop him and he endured all of that and now he's in charge with the blessing of Christ, in my opinion. 

This doesn't mean I condemn the Democrats. In my opinion, and let me repeat, in my opinion God allowed women to rise to power politically during this last century. Of course in taking over the world they made a mistake or two, but I think God judges men far more harshly because we know what we're doing and ever since the time of Adam and Eve sometimes women can be a little short-sighted possibly because they're a little short. Like my sarcastic lady friend says duh. But that doesn't mean they can't research and come up with statistics and statistics prove that the real danger for women is men. So God allowed them to be in charge along with their Democratic supporters and divorce lawyers and they have ruled approximately 100 years since Franklin Roosevelt took over for his conservative cousin Theodore Roosevelt. Any Republican had to speak like a lawyer because that was the only way you were going to win over the lawyer praetorian guard around women and their cadre of divorce lawyers. 

This is an unusually long-winded diatribe by me so I'm going to cut it short now and I will explain more as I think of questions that you might think of or that God's Spirit will lay on my heart and remember I'm only right 90% of the time. I don't mind when I'm wrong because I can tell you if I'm revealing it. I don't mind when you're wrong either and I'll try not to humiliate you or be sarcastic about it unless of course it's on my humor insanity blog. Later Gators MAD DOG 

HUMILITY AND HOW I ATTAINED IT

 Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you bless me in so many ways. I don't mind looking in the mirror cuz I get better looking with age. God made me a little bit scary, but God's grace made me a talented man. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble but I'm doing the best that I can. MAD DOG

Either we follow God and the Father... or DESTRUCTION! Follow me as I follow Jesus.

LIFE IS SHORT

 I am blessed, because I have friends and family who have loved and supported me all my life. 

I am blessed because Jesus my Savior called me to preach the gospel of which I am not ashamed. 

Although I choose not to force my belief onto others, I always welcome anyone to come to Jesus whenever they wish but be aware life is short. Eat dessert first. Have fun and be safe and healthy and if possible do it at the same time. But be aware. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Now is the day for salvation. Thank you for listening. Later Gators.

NOTE TO MIAMI FRIEND

 I am getting acquainted with a businesswoman from Miami. she follows me on x and I summarized my thoughts on the book of Revelation. she very kindly honored me by saying that I have increased her knowledge.

I am from Plymouth Indiana which is on my profile if you are a research geek like me. I would guess that you are an independent business woman. I am a retired pastor ordained in two denominations but I am not a Bible scholar or a prophet. Like Jake and Elwood blues I'm a musician. I do believe we are now in the time of the book of Revelation but some disagree with me and that's okay because I don't mind if I'm wrong. But in chapter 12 it talks about the wilderness which in those days they were not aware of the Western hemisphere and it appears to me that Donald Trump is mentioned in chapter two verse 26 and 27 as a follower of Christ who is pounding the s*** out of dumbasses that are trying to take over the world.

This is a recent sarcastic picture from my favorite blogger the historical Oracle.

BRAG ON GOD QUIETLY

 Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026 

May I make a suggestion? Find a portion of scripture that inspires you and read a little bit each day. 

Right now, for me, I'm reading Revelation. I don't view it necessarily as future prophecy but an update on current news. Revelation chapter 12 appears to be speaking about the Americas. Revelation chapter 2 verse 26 and 27 appears to mean that Christ himself has selected a leader that rules with an iron rod and breaks pottery which I interpret as criminal leaders. You can either choose to whine about God and the leaders he has chosen or you can pick a side, God's side, and praise and worship him quietly of course or in a group setting, but don't brag. If you do any bragging brag on the Lord God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ. Don't worry about the critics who love to point out that we're all sinners and we all make mistakes. Duh. I am a sinner but God's grace is sufficient in my weakness. That's all for now today boys and girls.

 

It is permissible to disagree with me. I don't mind if either one of us is wrong. Also I am aware that this restraining mask like the one that was on Hannibal lecter also looks like a jockstrap.

OBAMA IS LOSING

 

CHRIST IS IN CHARGE

I seem to recall Revelation chapter 2, versus 26 and 27. According to John the revelator Christ himself is speaking. There are many things that make me suspect Revelation is being fulfilled right now. This verse or verses states very clearly that there will be one who will endure great persecution and overcome and he will rule with a iron rod and break a lot of pottery. I am not a prophet or a scholar. Like the blues Brothers famously said, I'm just a musician. Later Gators.

DUMBASS MEN

 

In; keeping with my tradition of commenting first and then reading my favorite blogger the historical Oracle, I'm going to give a personal health update. I am mildly suffering with lymphedema in the feet which has to be tended by my honorable daughter who loves discussing politics with me as long as I restrain myself from not taking seriously the complaints of abused women and I find myself actually in total agreement which explains the rise of the Democratic party since Franklin Roosevelt. There are those who are honorable and believe in God but vote Democratic and I think I now understand that this is a judgment from the Lord God Almighty on dumbass men. Dumbass abusive men have built the Democratic base which is largely supported by divorce lawyers. Sorry guys. That's not true. I'm not sorry. I have this terrible habit of speaking the truth. And that is all for now boys and girls. As I said, I'm suffering terribly with my ministry on the internet and the delightful discussions with my oldest daughter and the solid friendship of my youngest daughter although our interactions have to be refereed by my oldest daughter. And that is all you need to know for now. Later Gators.
