Health Problems

 Because my health has deteriorated since my mother's death in 2018. (Home hospice takes a toll on the care givers, and I had a heart attack at that time.) Then 2020 happened. I caught covid in January 2022, and I would have died if not for Hydroxychloroquine. Because I am in my late sixties, have kidney problems, and have issues with going to or trusting doctors, I know my health is in steep decline. I will spare you the further details of my health, but it is not good. I will say that each day is a blessing, but I don't expect there to be many more. I'm surprised each day I wake up or make it until bedtime. Maybe I will be surprised with more days than I expect or feel up to. However, there is the assurance of life eternal and abundant in my Father's Kingdom. Because of these things, I am going to start shutting down my blog, YouTube channel, and books. I am the only Christian in my immediate family, and there will not be anyone to monitor these things when I'm gone. I want to thank those who have read my blog and books and watched my videos. I hope they have been a blessing, but I won't know that until I stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ. 

Thank you.

Update: 11/30/24 - It looks like my eldest niece will most likely monitor things for me. She won't post anything - just try to make sure nothing strange happens. I doubt I'll do much more here, but time will tell. I have removed some videos at my YouTube channel, and I have unpublished one of my books. I'll leave everything else for now and decide what to do with the rest later.

Was John 17 a Pipe Dream?

 There may be a lot of organizational differences among Protestants, and that is frequently attacked. However, when it comes to the belief that we are saved by Christ's atoning death on the cross and His resurrection, we're all unified. We are one body in Christ through the unifying Holy Spirit. That unity is a fact. John 17:20-23 was not a vain hope of Christ. Stop looking at the outward appearances and look at the inner man and woman. There is more unity than the world realizes. 

Jesus Prays for All Believers

^{John 17: 20} “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, ²¹ that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. ²² I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— ²³ I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
