TRICKS PLAYED ON SENIORS

October 11, 2023 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

From humorous to—not so much.

+ When you come out of a store to the parking lot, someone moved your car.

+ People talk . . .

+ People don’t understand . . .

+ People WILL NOT talk loud enough for you to understand them.

+ People move your stuff.

+ People always say you’re the one who can’t remember correctly.

+ People talk about you without including you in the conversation.

+ People will really talk about you if you get very sick, and you will feel worse, literally.

+ People can (in extreme cases) make you feel like vultures are circling over a weakened animal, when you get old and feeble and unstable, and it hastens losing your mind. (Be thankful if you never experience that.)

QUARANTINE – – – IN HELL ? – – – IN HEAVEN ?

October 11, 2023 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

Quarantine forever—where do you want to be ?
– – –
In hell he lifted up his eyes to Abraham in Paradise and cried out for a drop of water for the torment in the flames.
Abraham answered that there was a barrier preventing any passing between heaven and hell — QUARANTINE ! ! ! — PERMANENT ! ! !
– – –
The guy in hell then pleaded for someone to come back from the dead and warn his brothers headed for hell.
Abraham said, “Can’t do—besides, it wouldn’t do any good, if they all ignore the Bible (like you did)”.
That fixes a permanent quarantine to not return from the dead and inspire people.
That cancels a lot of popular movies and stories that feel so good.
– – –
Jesus told that story—you might ought to check in with Him, like now ! ! !
I wouldn’t put it off another day.
You don’t want to be the guy in the story, or one of his brothers.
(Unless of course you think Jesus is a crazy liar.)

NO CELL PHONES IN . . .

October 7, 2023 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

NO CELL PHONES IN THIS ROOM OR THIS ROOM OR THIS ROOM !

+ No cell phones in the bathroom !

+ No cell phones in the bedroom !

+ No cell phones in the room where you are eating, TOGETHER !

I could write for an hour on the best use for each of those rooms, and how I thought of this article sitting in one of them.
But it is more effective if I let you think and talk about how you and yours will use your time there, without cell phones.

PLANNING THE PANDEMIC

October 4, 2023 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

October 2019
— Before the rest of us heard about covid and a pandemic, there was a secret meeting in the U.S. of ‘one-world’ minded elites, to plan how they would handle the coming pandemic and use it for their purposes.

March 2020
— Covid-19 arrived, was declared a pandemic, and triggered a host of mandates and controls that devastated economies and the well-being of millions who conformed and buckled—pre-planned power grab.
— This gave just enough time to seriously impact/control the election in eight months, with mail-in ballots mailed-out en masse and collected by ? ? ? en masse, etc.

November 2020
— The outcome of the all-important election was indeed affected, altered according to plan, and immediately changed the course of American history—to orchestrate and expedite the downfall of the greatest nation ever.

– – –

October 2023
— That would be right now.
— People are planning the next pandemic, and not so secretly, and talking about it.
— They are counting on the people accepting their plan and following their rules again.
— They are building a repeat of fear—fear of disease and death—fear of losing livelihood and everyday living.
— They are talking about masks and vaccines all over again—so people get used to it, again.

? ? ? 2024
— Uncertainty of when the next shoe falls, when the balloon goes up, when the next pandemic hits, keeps the people just where the controllers want them—dependent, for survival.
— But, some people are not going to buy the threats of consequences for not following ridiculous orders, this time.
— But, but, how many sheeple complied with unhealthy masks and isolation just three years ago, beyond logic and beyond their personal convictions.
— In light of the power of technology to track and control just about everything and everybody, the flow of goods and services for our very survival can be manipulated by the puppet masters already in charge.
— And, when faced with hunger from shortages, and panic from travel restrictions outside your house, people are still known to sacrifice freedom for food.

November 2024
— In light of the power of technology to track and control just about everything and everybody, we no longer have confidence in guaranteed fair and free elections.
— So, which will it be—our continued demise, with demonic forces operating through individuals currently in charge in this country——or——serious, complete return to the God of the Bible, the God of our forefathers, in repentance for our sins ?

TWO LONGHORN OXYMORONS

September 27, 2023 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

As a Texan I am fascinated by longhorns, and I especially appreciate the beautiful longhorns just across the fence from where I live.

As a father and father-in-law of several Aggies, I have the obvious thoughts that need not be spoken about the other . . .

So, those two statements explain the following two longhorn oxymorons:

Fat Longhorn

“. . . EAT AND DRINK WITH YOU . . .”

August 21, 2023 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

Consider this mealtime prayer, especially for a family holiday meal.

“Jesus, you said You stand and knock at our door, waiting for us to hear Your voice and open the door—You said You would then come in and eat and drink with us.
So, we hear You knocking and hear Your voice—we open the door—come in, Jesus, eat with us and drink with us. Amen.”

If Jesus knocks at our door, one on one . . .
If we hear His voice, one on one . . .
If we open our door, one on one . . .
If Jesus comes in, one on one . . .
If Jesus eats and drinks with us, one on one . . .
. . . Then most surely Jesus will be included in our conversation with others around the table ! ! !

Everything we talk about, definitely about the meal, and anything else in our lives—Jesus wants to be in all of it.*
Tell the others about things Jesus has done in your life lately—tell about things Jesus has done in your heart lately.
Tell about what Jesus has brought you through—or what He is bringing you through.
You don’t have to wait to share, until everything is taken care of.
You may inspire someone else to do the same.

“In all your ways acknowledge Him . . .”
“. . . and [so] He will direct your paths.”

* If we love Jesus, He pays close attention to all of our conversations—so it’s only natural to include Him in what we say.
“Those who loved the Lord spoke often to one another, AND the Lord hearkened (listened closely) and heard them.”

THE PIGPEN – – – WHAT’S THAT SMELL ?

August 5, 2023 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

Of course the pigpen smells bad—real bad, unless you’re the pig farmer.
And if you spend any time in the pigpen, you’re going to smell real bad too.

Just how do you get into the pigpen, because obviously it’s nobody’s idea of fun ?

First, you start wanting what you think you’ve got coming—and you want it now.
It doesn’t matter to you who’s standing in your way, who you have to dishonor, Who you have to disobey—you want it now.

That’s starting to smell—that stinks.

Your wish is granted, but it seriously hurts someone you’re supposed to love (a Father who loves you).
Your stinking thinking means you don’t care—you want it now.
You just want to have fun, and you’ll have money to buy lots of it.

Question: How long will it last ?
Answer: Not long.

Running out of money, and economic wipeout from famine, simultaneously—that stinks—coincidence, or arranged ?

Complete personal crash, and you’re faced with just trying to stay alive—feeding pigs, wanting to eat with pigs, stinking like pigs.
What a place to “come to yourself”, like after unconsciousness from drugs and drinking.
Well, whatever it takes.

Your attitude was stinking from the beginning—money masked the misery inside for a little while.
The truth eventually comes to light.

You were already in the pigpen, even when there were clean sheets on the bed for every night of pleasure that smelled so good.

Thank God for sending us to a stinking pigpen whenever we need to come to our senses, and return home to our Father, and plead our guilt of sin and unworthiness.

– – –

The pigpen—what’s that smell ? —stinking sin, pride, selfishness, stinking pleasures.

Repentance, acceptance, love, forgiveness—what’s that smell ? —barbecued beef—“the fatted calf” butchered for just this occasion—celebration—dead to alive—lost to found—restored to the family.

(Written on the day to remember fifty years of . . .)

HONESTY – – – ALL THINGS TRANS

August 2, 2023 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

Also, read TRUTH – – – ALL THINGS TRANS

Is there any evidence anywhere that any trans-wannabe (trans-cannot be) males lose their male sex drive desire for females by declaring trans-state, and realizing the ultimate sexual fantasy of locker room thrills with females ?

Beating around the bush about this obvious indulgence gives the entire culture the green light to participate vicariously in sexual imaginations—BECAUSE it is openly reported that some people are actually experiencing their dreams come true IN REAL LIFE, IN REAL TIME—not just a porn movie.

Reporters do their job describing what’s going on in women’s locker rooms with ‘sterile’ language that let’s them stay on the air, while indulging in any desired conversation about reality off air.

And, it is known that imagination is most powerful when triggered by images (verbal or visual) close to the edge—why so ?—because the power of suggestion has greater power than actuality—it also has the greater power of repetition.
