HONG KONG FRIEND

I am enjoying my friends on X. More than 70% are beautiful business women, but I have a strong desire to finally at the age of 77 be celibate. The following is a conversation from a friend from Hong Kong. 

Since the wind is blowing strongly and the temperature is close to zero and I am inside watching through my picture window I'm doing pretty good.

My young neighbor who's very adorable and has a high amount of estrogen has wisely broken up our relationship and I'm actually quite happy with it because I've always wanted to be single and happy. After out living two wives and now I'm ministering to a congregation on Facebook of several thousand gospel preachers and workers I'm going to have a pretty substantial workload which I enjoy but..

I enjoy your travel photos. I am by destiny with my tedious lymphedemic feet confined to either laying down or setting in my easy chair. So my ministry and my friendship with excuse me for saying gorgeous, not flirting, business women is going to keep me occupied. Later Gator.

HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY

Happy heavenly birthday, Will. Otherwise known as William Michael Daly. Both your father and your mother miss you.,

You are in the presence of your two grandmothers, your uncle William Michael Dittmer III, your great-grandfathers William Michael Dittmer Senior and Charles Daly Senior, and our savior and creator of the Universe. 

You already know, since you are a Chicago Bears fan, that the Chicago Bears beat the Packers, who's still suck. 

LATER GATORS!

January the 18th is the heavenly anniversary of my grandson William Michael Daly. My full name is William Michael Dittmer Jr. The name on my social security card when I first got it at the age of 12 used my middle name Mike. To find my books on Amazon you have to use my middle name Mike and my last name. 1986 is the year the Chicago Bears won the super bowl. It is also the year that my family and I moved from Waycross Georgia just north of the Okefenokee swamp where my family and I used to go down and feed Kraft fresh marshmallows to Al the monstrous alligator that would shock my friends when he came out of the water like a military tank and roar with his mouth wide open. My family stood bravely behind me but anybody that was there to take pictures usually ran for their car or bus. In the voice of Paul Harvey and now you know the rest of the story and why I always say later Gators.

Addenda. According to a neighbor who goes to Okefenokee swamp every year, Big Al is still there, but they wisely have fenced that area off to keep stupid fearless people like me from feeding him marshmallows.

TRUMP THE SHEPHERD

I will try to keep comments short but let me remind you I pay five bucks a month for this mental health group and it's just as important to me as it is to you. I am a extremely self-aware person and I think that's part of being a shepherd and in tune with God and the Father. So let me repeat I received two messages from upper management, and remember I am not a prophet. The first message oozed into my consciousness so that I don't actually have a date. The message was Tai chi. That which is done slowly strengthens us. The second message is when I repeated often. It's all set up. Our Democratic opposition has been appointed to slow us down. We have chosen time and again to be a two-party system. The Democrats and their preponderance of lawyers have been in charge since Franklin Roosevelt. Now it's time for the businessmen to be in charge. President Trump has learned how to increase our finances through tariffs so that we can do a minimum of welfare and we are also learning at the same time how to detect fraud abuse and waste. I've noticed this in the state of sanity, which you may know as Indiana. We've had a pretty good bidding system and competitive businesses taking over government roles. We didn't allow Trump, whom we love dearly, to bully us into changing our electoral map. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This is also starting to happen in Pennsylvania and Trump is learning to be patient himself and is practicing Tai chi, partly because he is a shepherd like myself and facing bullies gives him and me a charge of adrenaline. That's all for now.

SELF-AWARE

My metabolism changed. I am extremely self-aware, and last night my metabolism changed by 3°. I know. I'm weird. My hands no longer cramp up under 80°. I will see how long this lasts. My extreme sensitivity also alerts me to the presence of God. I suppose that's a gift of being a shepherd. Previously God has spoken to me in one word messages. I have told you that the last time God spoke to me directly it was four words and it appears to apply to not only my personal life but also in relationship to my prayer that God would send us a president that understood tariffs. Note the story of the gold coin in the fish miracle of Jesus. The message was it's all set up. Repeat. It's all set up. I also received very slowly, in fact, it oozed into my consciousness, the words Tai chi. Our current president is trying to do things quickly. It is his nature. But there are restraints, and I think they are divine restraints that is slowing him down. I think that's Tai chi and he is slowly learning patience which is not his strong suit. That's enough for now. Later Gators.

IT'S NOT A COMPETITION

I am not righteous because of my high standards. Holiness is not a competition. I am righteous because of the grace of God through the power of Christ. I have sinned, but I constantly confess these sins to my God and when necessary, to others. I have been under the authority and totally honest with two church organizations, plus my own church which is now no longer in existence. I was ordained and totally honest with the Church of the Nazarene and then later the church of the brethren. I have also been married twice but never divorced. I was totally honest with both of my wives and they were totally honest with me. And of course, I have been totally honest with my God. Permit me to be a little sarcastic. Duh. Why in the world do some hide themselves in the darkness? God is light and he sees and knows everything, but if we will drawn near to God, he will draw near, near to us. 

Stay tuned.

DAY 16, 2026

I started this journey approximately 20 years ago when the Spirit revealed to me the mistake that evangelicals, myself included, made the historical mistake of instituting prohibition. We were concerned and we still are about to high number of alcohol addiction caused by unrestrained tavern access and so we came up with an idea to severely restrict alcoholic beverage. 

At that time in history, tariffs supplied the majority of the income for United States of America. Evangelicals are human and we make mistakes and we decided to institute the progressive tax and turn away from tariffs. 

We were the Republican party, the conservative party, and we wanted to have adequate income to take care of the poor etc etc. 

At that time during the time of Theodore Roosevelt, the conservatives were in charge but due to our stupidity in several areas, his cousin Franklin Roosevelt led to the rise of the Democratic party, and basically the Democrats have been more or less in charge since then. 

Since the Spirit was speaking to me, I understood the miracle of the gold coin in the fish's mouth and the very revealing teaching, and isn't all of the teaching of Jesus revealing? Of the gold coin teaching, which basically said we should be using tariffs to finance our government. So 20 years ago I started praying for a president that understood the power of tariffs. 

Understand that I am just a catalyst, and ordained elder of the Church of the Nazarene who dropped out to take care of some family needs and therefore started a small church on highway 6 that's US highway 6 between the towns of walkerton Indiana and lapaz Indiana. 

God was also teaching me about the power of prayer and I invite you to read THE RAIN PARABLES for sale on Amazon. Under my middle name Mike Dittmer.

Rather than tell you the whole story at once, I invite you to either follow or research what I have written in the past so I can wrap this up. Later Gators.

DEAD SECRETARY

 my current secretary died. she took excellent dictation. no funeral is needed. she was my Google Pixel 6 phone.

now I'm using Chromebook. I am a poor typist, My keyboard of choice has 88 keys. I can play it in total darkness blindfolded.

Not so with Chromebook. I must be immersed in daylight. Sigh. Humiliation continues, but God's AMAZING GRACE rains down.

Later Gators.

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER

Today's Substack blog from Don Surber

10:00 a.m. opening thoughts are all gratitude for the clarity God and his son Jesus are bringing to his mostly humble servant Don. I want to be continuously grateful for the continuously hard work that you, Don, put into this blog. Live long and prosper. And yes, I am a Star Trek geek.

THE COMFORTER

Tonight I am grieving for the brave people of Iran. I am mourning over the huge loss of life inflicted by the Ayatollah Khomeni and his henchman. But My savior Jesus has a promise for you. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. The Comforter is coming. Your deliverance is at hand. MAD DOG 

I picked The picture of me with my two daughters taken at the same time of the death of their mother and my first wife, an amazing woman, a pastor's wife, a gospel singer, who road shotgun with me during the most awesome years of my early ministry. I can testify from my own experience that these two young ladies have been a great comfort to me.

THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE

Sigh. My dear friends, your vision is limited but fortunately our fearless leader Donald J Trump has the big picture. Right now the people of Iran have been inspired by his courage and are taking back their country with a minimal amount of help from us. Even though we are tempted to think in isolationist terms, and the very pure thoughts of small government, that is not where we are headed with Donald. The scripture that's most relevant for this moment is revelation 12 the entire chapter which talks about the wilderness which is the Western hemisphere. We must not only be historians from a human standpoint but also historians from God's viewpoint. And holy cow, I'm surprised at how wise I can be myself but that's the power of the holy Spirit. Wish I could take credit for it.

SHEPHERDS

God's armies are fashioned by the history they are taught, the enemies they have overcome, and the diseases they have learned to restrain. Like God himself, they are shepherds in search of Lost sheep, preaching the freedom only found in the Truth of Jesus. MAD DOG #wisdompoet
