Chowder-Head

My girls survived the 4th of July night, and so did this old man.

I watched as my dad slip away for two years until his end, from dementia, he was 92. Dad was a cruel and hateful "Atheist" of a man, who heaped some terrible things upon his family and my sisters, of which I vowed at 12 to ki-ll him. He stayed with us those last two years of his life. Wheeling around the house, making demands and leering at my wife, which I put a stop to. It was exhausting. I watched as he started forgetting names and even where he was at. One time he thought my family was a different family masquerading as mine. Those two years, I read the bible nightly, mostly Psalms and explained God's love for us and His hatred of sin. I talked to dad one night recounting what he had done to my one sister and some of the other terrible things he had done. I did that, as he was never told he was a sinner and it needed to be told. I did actually tell him the gospel message and the sin of mankind because he came to me one day and asked me what changed me after I got saved. Dad was genuinely curious. The last two weeks of his life he started seeing things that he would reach out for. Strangely, dad was still coherent and we would talk, though his voice sounded like he was coming from a different dimension or was in a tunnel. One night I came to make sure dad was comfortable and to add some glycerin to his dried lips as he was taking in little water, and had stopped eating. When dad exclaimed loudly "I'm so sorry for the bad things I've done." I barely breathed and thought what is this? I decided after some brief silent prayer, to share the gospel yet again with a man who never apologized in his life. I asked dad do you want Jesus to forgive you of your sin? Do you believe now as you lay dying, Jesus is truly the Son of God. He said yes. I led him in prayer and we talked some more and I left the room. The following day as I entered His room he spoke first telling me "Jesus was the truth, He spoke truth." Two days later dad passed on into the hands of Jesus. I remember I cried like never before at the salvation of my dad, and the wonder of the salvation process. I remembered the story of King Nebuchadnezzar and how in his insanity gave praise to God and God restored him to his former place. My point? Never give up praying for anyone for any reason. God's grace extends to everyone. Titus 2:11 “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people.

I would like the opinion of my practicing Christians sisters and brothers. Just hear me out, this is real. About 3 weeks back I asked the pastor if he could just touch on relevant biblical end times prophecy. His answer was to smirk first, then told me "they don't teach prophecy because the bible isn't real clear on the topic." I was floored at how little he knew about the topic, as we talked. Literally next to nothing not even the basics. I felt embarrassed for him, I truly did. Forward 3 weeks and last Sunday he said this as well as I can remember. " People should study about the Lord and not go off watching videos about end times and reading the newspaper more than the bible." He shredded the believers looking for the promise coming, and he disregarded at least 25% of God's Word. I could not let that go and I confronted him respectfully saying. " I was surprised to hear you talk in such a manner as to demean those who look for the coming of the Lord." His response was to say "sorry" and he had not meant to do that. Hard to believe that. I told him he is disregarding 25% of God's Word and we are told to preach the whole consul of his Word. I was respectful but direct. Now I feel compelled to write the man a letter of encouragement and show him step by step why it is important for the believers to understand the times they are in. Basically, to show him the importance of eschatology. I feel bad for the assembly of believers who know nothing about what's coming their way, and they can have hope in these times. The study of end times is much more than just prophecy. The rapture. It involves The return of Christ (Second Coming) — Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 19 Resurrection of the dead — 1 Corinthians 15; John 5:28–29 Final judgment — Matthew 25:31–46; Revelation 20:11–15 New heavens and new earth — Revelation 21–22; 2 Peter 3:13 The present and future kingdom of God. And so much more. What say you should I write the letter or not?

If you like a post take it one step further and make friends. What's to prevent Christians from friending each other. IMO we should.

This is called butcher block. My buddy did it at a reduced price as well as the tile. I’m blessed having him as a lic. Contractor.

I've been saying this and others as well; stock at least beans, rice, canned goods, and water. Pet food as well. I'm stocking as I can, the medicine I absolutely need. I just pay out of pocket. I'm wondering if the Ezekiel war coming or is it the Ps. 83 war, which I believe, but not adamant about has already happened?

The size, the noted 3 tiers, the stalls, the dimensions, and the area she lies, sure point to this being the Ark. At first it takes proof to begin thinking this might be the Ark. As the odds line up in favor of this being the Ark, now it takes proof it isn't.

Oh, I love cornbread! I made some yesterday to go with our ribs, it wasn't homemade, but it was sooo good. Lima beans with butter and lots of it!

The pastor of the assembly of believers I attend literally mocked those who studied eschatology. Saying they read the newspaper more than they do the Word of God. Anger welled up inside me. 3 weeks ago the pastor said "The church doesn't teach eschatology because the bible isn't clear on the subject." I asked him privately if maybe some time he could touch on the "Latter days?" Church ended and I asked to talk with him in private. I told the pastor I couldn't understand why he would belittle a subject that many Christians hold dear. I told him 25% of God's Word is prophetic and meant to give us hope in these uncertain times. He apologized and said it came out wrong. I was respectful, but couldn't let that bird fly. Church was so weird today. A lady sitting next to me was chewing on ice and shaking the cup for 15 minutes. It was loud and she or her husband could care less. Oh well, my hope is in the appearing of The Christ and my family and friends being taken home.

If you can't remember what you read in your devotion time with the Lord at the end of the day, maybe a more concerted effort with the cerebellum needs to be utilized. I'm being silly but it is a thought.

I found her standing in front of my house. She was kept in a very small yard with pigs, goats, fowl, that was slaughtered for food. I offered to buy her and was told to go away. I honestly thought to steal her. I took her in and examined her and her eyes were a total mess. Her eyelashes were turned in and scraping her eyes. Took her to the vets and got her all fixed up. Her eyes will always be an issue. For a year she never met your eyes. I love her so much she looks in my eyes now and Ulga is well loved withe other rescues on an acre in the middle of the city. Her eyes will always be weepy but that’s what I’m here for. They looky weepy in the pic. But I wipe them with room temperature water. Isn’t it she beautiful? My tool room is dusty🥴

I am sure Jesus would sit down and listen to Alison Krauss. Being I'm fairly sure that bluegrass music is Jesus favorite.

Why do I keep seeing the same exact post's? Weird.

I'm feeling so grateful at this moment for the men of God who showed me the love of The Christ. Jim P. Bill M. Ken B. Thank you guys so much for your commitment to The Christ. Had I seen deception, catastrophic moral failings, I'm not sure, but maybe I wouldn't have come to The Christ when I did. I watched you men closely, I critiqued your every move to your face, and you men of God knew I was angry not at you, and you loved me with the love of God. You won't see this, but I love you fellas.

Absolutely amazing the Noah's Ark has been proved to be a 100% man made object. I'll trust the science this time around, as the one's who are doing the scans and drilling at the site are christian and neutral scientist. One of the hallmarks of the end times was the reference to the days being like it was in Noahs time and the denial of the flood, despite having likely found the Ark. We are exactly there, right now.

If you don't see Jesus coming towards you on the tempestuous seas in these later days, you might want to check your spiritual pulse.
