RAINY DAY LOOP DRIVE

September 25th: Holland had to drive into Longview-WA, to pick up his blood pressure pills this morning - and I went with him; my lungs were on fire, and I didn't want him to be worrying about me while he was away from home base.

A busy day was planned.

Both of us were struggling with our lungs due to the sand storm that blew across the beach yesterday afternoon: we did quickly roll the windows up and leave immediately, but damage had been done in those few milliminutes :-(

Yesterday's sand storm on Cranberry Road-WA, had both of us coughing up dirty mucus.
My lungs are in pain, today.

After we got the prescription, groceries, and extras we needed to maintain Betsy with, Holland scrapped the rest of the planned events - except for grabbing the mail as we breezed through Rainier-OR.

I was thankful.

I was drained after the grocery shopping; trying to stay alive with weak lungs is very taxing on the body.

I was sleepy, so I laid the passenger seat back, and immediately the Sandman got busy ;-)

I woke up when Betsy stopped, a bit out of Astoria; Holland suggested KFC to take home, and I readily agreed. We ate some of the chicken in the parking lot before crossing the bridge into Chinook-WA.

Rain started near Bradley State Scenic Viewpoint.

My body shifted into sleep mode for a few miles.

Chinook-WA from Astoria-OR; 15 min (10.0 mi) via US-101 N

Finally home again, I put the groceries away while Holland sorted the bills from the junk mail. When the Salmon Creek Hospital Bill was opened, I saw red. The costs were astronomically over-inflated … and it further angered me that nothing on that list was anything I wanted done: all I had gone in for, was to have my swollen ankle tended to - and that never even happened! Services I did not want were forced on me (and I was asked if I wanted a breast reduction because the nurse thought my boobs were too large) … I finally said, "Enough!", and left. The whole experience was unpleasant and infuriating; none of them deserve a single penny :-(

Fall flavored Coffee's ;-)
The Salmon Creek Hospital Bill came … filled with medical BS.
I saw red - they didn't DO what I asked them TO DO; the whole experience was a total waste of my time.

Holland calmed me down by pointing out that we only had to pay a portion: a very small portion, all things considered. 

It's a good thing Elohim took control.

I had been struggling to breathe all day long, with lungs that were on fire; my body was wore out trying to keep me alive. I agreed with my husband that I didn't need to get worked up over the hospital bill … so, I kissed him, and went to bed ;-)

I went to bed & canceled the world; I was worn out - in every way possible.

FOGGY WANDERINGS; Long Beach Peninsula-WA


September 23rd: I was up before Holland, so I enjoyed 2 cups of Hazelnut Coffee to clear away the morning brain fog; and worked a few more inches on the little preemie gown I am designing:

 
MOD Knit Preemie Sleep Sack; 2 to 4 lbs.

When Holland woke up he said he needed to drive into Long Beach; and would I like to join him, and meander down Cranberry Road on the way back … yes, I would.

But, first I made some pancakes and bacon for breakfast - I used one of the 4Patriots Buttermilk Pancakes Mix: I spread my two with peanut butter and rolled them; Holland spread his with honey. They were good, either way ;-)


Driving into Long Beach this morning was kinda nippy - with a fog blanket hanging overhead, and pungent wood smoke in the air. We took our time moving forward in the dense fog.

The Long Beach Peninsula was shrouded in fog this morning.

After Holland got what he needed, we moseyed down to the beach via Cranberry Road, and the atmosphere there, reminded me of the 1980 John Carpenter movie, 'The Fog':

This patch of foggy beach, with the fella slowly walking up from the water, reminded me of the 1970's movie, 'The Fog' ;-)

I couldn't find the original movie - this is the only one highlighted on YouTube; it's quite a bit different
The Fog (2005) Movie
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2UYk9HPz28)

While we sat and talked; and watched busy little sanderlings speed past us at the speed of feathered bullets, Holland mused that maybe foggy Tillamook-OR (or even Brookings-OR) may play into the picture, while we wander towards sunny Yuma-AZ.

I'm okay with whatever he decides.

I trust his decision on travel matters - I know he will calculate all the possible risks, travel distance, road and set-up expenses … and arrive at the best possible scenario for our best interest in the moment. He has literally spent the majority of his life on the road: I trust his judgments.

I made a chicken meal for Supper, later in the day. I like simple, fuss-free dishes that don't chain me to the kitchen … but allows me to the freedom to provide healthy, yummy meals while I multi-task: and I'm happy to notice that Holland likes that, too :-D

The Supper fare was good - and will also be a repeat Supper.

Frying chicken smelled good ;-)
Getting more veggies into Holland. LOL
He liked it; it's a repeat meal.

WINDS OF CHANGE~Indian Summer 2024; Ocean Park-WA

September 22nd: Summer is coming to an end on the Long Beach Peninsula; but this afternoon unfolded on warm winds of change as an Indian Summer lingered.

We drove to the closest beachfront - which is a mere 3 minute drive from our front door.

We watched the waves, enjoyed the winged wild life antics, and joked with each other about music preferences:

Ocean Park Beach Access from Ocean Bay Mobile & RV Park; 3 min (0.9 mi) via 261st Pl & Bay Ave.
Bird Lady; she was surrounded by gulls that flocked to her and her car.
Ravens feeding on Dungeness Crab remains.
A 'shooter wave' & sound of the ocean.
Tide rolling in, sideways.
The tide rushed in; and we backed Betsy up about 10 feet …
The tide just kept rocking our way ;-)
Holland downloads 1970's Playlists for me, to give my senses a break from his ear-piercing big hair bands … but I've never heard of this band.
UFO - 1979 Doctor Doctor
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pNOKQT29ag)

I do like the Scorpions … and a few Metallica tunes (which I never listened to before Holland), and that surprised Holland, as well as myself: normally, I would not have given them a listen, but things are different now - I want to be fair with my husband, who is doing his best to equal the balance. He said, "I thought you wouldn't like them because they are a big hair band." I laughed, and said, "Well, I do like what I am hearing … and I do not consider the Scorpions a 'big hair' band. Their music is kinda low key: no lycra pants cutting into their private areas causing them to screech in angry falsetto voices. When I think of big hair bands, Cinderella, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Guns and Roses, Poison, Ratt, and Kiss, come to mind: the kids listened to those groups, and I can't stand them - then, or now, I don't want their attitude or atmosphere bouncing around in my head. The Scorpions look like men - they sound like men. Metallica can be a little {much} with all the head-banging backbeat and aggressive growling, but there are a couple songs you've been playing, that I don't mind listening to."

Of course, all the groups mentioned in the previous paragraphs are bands Holland likes, and still listens too - mostly when he's in Betsy alone.

When the tide started rolling in rapidly, we turned Betsy towards home.

The incoming tide had surged behind us …
Surrounded on all sides, we decided to leave the beach.

And I started a new preemie sleep sack, after Supper:

MOD Preemie Sleep Sack.

(((OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE WARNING!)))~2 Be Better Podcast


I like this couple.

And worldly language does not offend me.

I'll be posting links & my thoughts, back-to-back in this post to keep the language and context in one place because I think the topics are important, I like the info, and it fits what my husband and I are working through in the moment, at this time in our Life.

Offended people can move along … and people interested, can keep reading :-)

From Doubt To Trust l 2 Be Better Podcast S2 E34:  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7TvZz7ux0k)

I have to admit though, that normally I wouldn't give people like this the time of day (I KNOW how that sounds, but it's still the truth); BUT one day I was curious … so, I gave one of their podcast reels a listen.

And I LIKED what I was hearing.

I was hooked.

And I was thankful I was curious enough to get past the the weirdness.

I am learning through listening to their interactions, how to understand Holland better. Holland comes from a different world than I do - our childhood backgrounds are eerily similar … BUT our emotional, physical, and spiritual hemispheres are WORLDS APART.

Understanding, on my end, is important.

Understanding, on his end, is important.

There is realness coming through in these podcast reels. I like that. I introduced Holland to one of their reels last night, and a good discussion followed; we both liked that.

The calming and healing effect of a 1-minute hug cannot be overstated.

And little acts of kindness done as the dust begins to settle, goes a long way in spanning the gulf of hurt (shrapnel fallout, as well as unintended).

(2) GENDER ROLES: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLQUkwhhAIE)

The MF terminology is banned on our home because I find it highly offensive; that said, I do like the context of the topic in this discussion.

I laughed when I heard this fella describing himself, because this is SO Holland's character; everything is a challenge, and he intends to come out on top.

It took me a while to "get" this about him. While I always appreciated his manliness … his macho-man-masculinity can be a little much at times.

But, I get "it" now. And I can laugh now instead of doing a slow burn.

Holland is a natural Leader; so am I - because I've had to be.
Holland believes in gender roles … me, not so much: he is learning to relax in that area - and let me lend my strength when his pain is off the charts; and I'm learning to step back, and lean into his mindset a little when he needs to be the hero in the Day, and just enjoy the relaxation his mindset affords me. I like that I don't have to always be in survival mode anymore.

It's not about shutting down my own thoughts, or opinions.

It's about being able to being able to relax and not be "ON" all the time.

It's about knowing that whatever decision HE makes … he's going to include ME in the outcome: knowing I can slow my thoughts down because there will be no confusion in the outcome; the outcome will be equally satisfactory because respect will be involved on both sides.

(3) The Sandwich l The Side Piece S2 E11: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4BnnVfBPoc)

The entire first year of our marriage (except the sex part - and the assessment love: there was never any struggles in these areas, thank the Lord ;-)).

BUT there was a LOT to digest here, because we both came with baggage from past experiences and past marriages = my childhood was a hellish experience, and my first marriage was a very happy one: Holland's childhood was a struggle, and his first marriage was a disaster. We both have trust issues. Holland has very strong feelings concerning gender roles; I was raised a free spirit in a bohemian, hippy environment … I don't mind lending my strengths when needed - Holland struggles with that. And I struggle with THAT. I don't mind being pampered by someone who loves me, and I can get used to being a spoiled wife; but I'm not used to sitting on my hands and watching someone fight through physical pain because they feel the need to prove their manhood. Holland also has a lopsided mindset concerning male and female sexual behaviors (like the majority of males on the Redmill side of the family branch basically treat women as sexual toys to be used, discarded, and trash-talked), which is very biased, and that upsets me. My mindset is that there are man sluts just as there are female sluts - and the Redmill family is rife with both: I don't let the males off the hook they whip women with. This caused a lot of verbal sparring between us.

Holland insists on being an alpha-male leader, with a traditional submissive female in his family unit: I don't have issue with that. WHAT I DO take issue with, is that respect is earned rather than a guaranteed expectation - if a man wants to be in the leadership role, he needs to lead responsibly. MPO, is that having a penis does not just naturally catapult someone into the leadership role; the Redmill men feel differently. I am very uncomfortable around men that treat women disrespectfully: Hollands entire male nucleolus (family and friends) is made up of men with lopsided mentalities. That mindset caused issues between Holland and me.

We went through a pretty heavy {onion peeling} marital relationship for a year as we struggled to find a way to live peacefully together, that led to an intense outcome while cooling our heels along the Lewis River, in Woodland-WA this past summer. June and July were not a good months for us: emotionally the marriage was done, the continual warring had taken it's toll. Heart-wise we were still connected, which made the confusing conflicts more confusing. Spiritually, we were quickly tapping out.

It's refreshing to know - and SAY - that Holland and I have satisfactory worked through (talked out, actively listened) our issues and struggles, and we are confidently moving into the future to build a future, together.

LIES ARE EXPOSED: Part #2 of Candace Report


This Is Terrifying! What is Kamala Hiding? | Candace Ep 72: (https://rumble.com/v5gctrp-this-is-terrifying-what-is-kamala-hiding-candace-ep-72.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp)

Recap on my previous posting about this kamala grandmother scandal …

My previous Post: Breaking News: kamala harris LIED About Her Black Grandparents | Candace … https://roadgypsiesvalandholland.blogspot.com/2024/09/breaking-news-kamala-harris-lied-about.html

And further proof that demonrats consistently RAISE THE DEAD … and REWRITE HISTORY TO BOOST THE VOTER BALLOT IN THEIR FAVOR:

I'm not surprised at these revelations - and I don't think you are, either.

CAUCASIAN MEANS WHITE … that is what the population census papers claim; also the reason I refuse to allow info gathering when the trollers show up on my doorstep. The census in itself, is a racist pogrom, regardless of what you are being told.

This campaign to make kamala harris into something SHE IS NOT is ridiculous - and so are the "explanations".


It doesn't matter what her father "identified as" … ALL THAT MATTERS IS RELAITY. And the entire demonrat cartel is a cesspool of nonstop lies and scandalous behaviors.

Remember how barak hussein obama used his white {christian} mother to steal his first white house seat … and then came out as a full-blown black muslim man engaged in a same-sex {marriage}, with armed black panthers patrolling the White House lawns: his white christian heritage no longer played into his political coup as he steadfastly (and continuously continues) to go after white Christian Americans he declared 'domestic terrorists'.

It worked for him - and he's counting on it working for his empty-headed puppet, harris.


I hope and pray Americans are not going to allow obamanite political nonsense to continue.

1 TIMOTHY ~ Chapter 3/Thursday Bible Study


As he anticipated in Philippians (1:19, 25-26, & 2:24), *Paul was released from his first Roman imprisonment. In fulfillment of his promise to the Philippians, he sends **Timothy to Philippi to relate the #Good News. Paul himself, went to Ephesus and to other Asian churches like Colosse. When Timothy rejoined Paul in Ephesus, Paul instructed his assistant to "remain in Ephesus" (1:3) while he journeyed to Macedonia. Paul wrote First Timothy, perhaps from Philippi (3:14-15). After he saw Timothy in Ephesus, the apostle journeyed on to the island of Crete where, after a period of ministry, he left Titus to continue the work.

Paul wrote First Timothy from Macedonia in A.D. 62 or 63, while Timothy was serving as his representative in Ephesus - and perhaps in other churches in the province of Asia.

Ephesus - and the province of Asia.

Timothy was to appoint elders, combat false doctrine, and supervise church life as an apostolic representative (one who is sent on a specific mission to act or speak for an ***Apostle).

****Yeshua is the "one Mediator (a middleman; a mediator does not decide the outcome of a situation - instead, a mediator helps the parties understand and focus on the important issues needing an answer, or a solution to a conflict, or problem) between *****Elohim and men" (2:5), and "Elohim was manifest (known openly; or to appear) in the flesh, justified (behaving according to what is morally right and fair) in the Spirit, and seen by ^angles; preached among the ^^Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory (taken up into ##Heaven)" (3:16). He is the source (a place, person, or thing from which something comes or can be got) of spiritual strength (a sense of purpose, meaning; connecting with the Living God), faith, and love (1:12, 14), He came into the world to save (rescue) sinners (someone who has done something wrong according to religious or moral law)" (1:15), and "gave (freely transfer the possession of; to hand over) himself as a ransom (payment for the release of a captive) for all" (2:6).


The theme of this letter, is Timothy's organization and oversight (watchful activity over a group of people) of the Asian churches as a faithful minister (teaching of beliefs; leading services, baptisms or funerals; or otherwise providing spiritual guidance to the community) of Elohei. Paul wrote this letter as a reference manual (a quick source of information when working on a specific topic) for leadership (the ability of an individual to guide followers or members of a group) so that Timothy would have effective guidance (teaching of how to recognize and identify problems, and come up with solutions) for his work during Paul's absence in Macedonia (3:14-15). Paul wants to encourage (give support and advice to someone so that they will do or continue to do something) and exhort (the Greek word parakaleo is often translated as 'exhort' in Paul's writ: it's a verb that means 'to call to one's side, summon'; and can also mean 'to encourage, strengthen, to instruct, teach') his younger assistant (helper) to become an example (comes from the Latin word for 'specimen'; a particular instance of something that is representative of a group, or an illustration of something that's been generally described) to others, exercise (a process or activity carried out for a specific purpose, especially one concerned with a specified area or skill) his spiritual gifts, and "fight (make great efforts to achieve or obtain something) the good fight of ###Faith" (1:18). Timothy's personal and public life must be above reproach (the leader's life is free from sinful habits or behaviors that would impede their setting the highest Christian standard and model for the church to emulate (Hebrews 13:7); also, the leader must not give cause for those outside the church to question his lifestyle): and he must be ready to deal with matters of false teaching, organization, discipline, proclamation of the Scriptures, poverty and wealth, and the roles of various groups, negativity; he is to refute (prove wrong; deny) error (an act that through ignorance, deficiency, or accident departs from or fails to achieve what should be done) (1:7-11).

1 TIMOTHY ~ Chapter 3

Qualifications of Bishops

(vv. 1 thru 13)


"This is a faithful (true to the facts) saying: If a man desires (strongly wish for or want) the position (function) of a bishop (the word originally signified a spiritual 'overseer'; the titles bishop and elder, or presbyter, were essentially equal in value, amount, function. Bishop is from the Greek, and denotes one who exercises the function of overseeing. Presbyter was derived from the office in the synagogue), he desires a good work.

A bishop must be blameless (innocent of wrong doing), the husband of one wife (not married to more than one woman at a time), temperate (mild, moderate; calm, reasonable), sober-minded (not intoxicated by successes or defeated by failures; free from extravagance or excess; not desirous of great things or high estate; able to deal with hardships and are motivated to keep going; focusing on the grace that is revealed in Jesus Christ; are living with eternity in view; their values are clarified), of good behavior (proper, polite; satisfactory conduct that is in line with the law - the proper performance of the duties of an office), able to teach (the ability to communicate and apply the truth of Scripture in a clear, coherent, and fruitful way: holding firm to the trustworthy word, instructing in sound doctrine, rebuking unbiblical ideas, modeling and teaching doctrine with the power of saving grace; avoiding discussions on subjects that, in reality, are useless and without redeeming qualities); not given to much wine (Christians are allowed by Yeshua to drink alcohol, but we are forbidden to get drunk: “And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18; also see Proverbs 20:1, 23:20, Isaiah 5:22); one mark of a Spirit-filled and Spirit-led person is that they have self-control (Galatians 5:23 )), not violent (the Hebrew word translated 'violence' is hā'mās': this includes brute force assault, as well as oppression or unjustness and cruelty. The term also evokes the lingering effects of violence, such as deprivation and abuse - this is the same term used to describe the men of the pre-flood world (Genesis 6:11)), not greedy for money (Scripture warns that those who want to get rich can fall into temptation and harmful desires that can lead to ruin; Proverbs 15:27: states that greed can trouble a household; Ephesians 5: states that greedy people are idolaters and have no inheritance in the kingdom of God. The Bible defines greed as a "ruthless self-seeking" and an "arrogant assumption" that others exist for one's own benefit. It also states that greed is the love of having that pursues one's own interests without regard for others); but gentle (moderate in action, effect, or degree; not harsh or severe), not quarrelsome (quarrels are unnecessary arguments that arise from people's quarrelsome nature, not from principled conviction or loving rebuke; quarrelsome people enjoy the drama of a verbal joust rather than working patiently toward solutions - arguing for the sake of arguing; quarrelsome people are entrenched in their positions and unwilling to give an inch to others; quarrelsome people tend to be loud and want to be heard and seen; quarrelsome people are quick to speak and slow to listen; quarrelsome people never give the benefit of the doubt), not covetous (an intense desire for worldly possessions that belongs to another person) - one who rules (a man of high self-control, displays moral behavior; someone who knows the rules, toes the line, follows instructions, and is head of his family as Christ heads His Church) his house well (in a good or satisfactory way), having his children (a son or daughter of any age) in submission (humility - submission is a humble attitude of obedience; God-honoring - submission is not about being inferior, silent, or not having your own opinions; submission is not about living or acting in fear; the Bible recognizes that men and women have different needs for love and respect, and that God has designed marriage, and family life, to reflect this) with all reverence (a feeling of deep respect, awe, and love for the sacred = devotion to God: for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the house of Elohei?); not a novice (a person who is new to the circumstances), lest (for fear that) being puffed up (to be so pleased or satisfied with something that one's pride is evident in their behavior or body language) with pride (a feeling of pleasure related to self-worth and often derived from personal achievements or talents) he fall into the same condemnation (a guilty verdict = a punishment) as ******Lucifer. Moreover, he must have a good testimony (a clear, concise, and honest lifestyle, and that highlights how your life has changed because of your faith) among those who are outside (those who are not following, or living for Christ), lest he fall into reproach (admonish, chide, rebuke, reprimand, and reprove) and the snare (a trap set by the enemy that hinder a person's walk with the Lord: these traps can include opposition from others, a desire to fit in, or the desire to accumulate material possessions) of Lucifer.

Likewise (in the same way; also), deacons (from Greek diakonos, meaning 'helper'; deacons perform a variety of tasks, including reading the Gospel, leading the Lord's prayer, visiting the sick, supporting the poor, and helping with administrative duties; a deacon can be a male - or a female: the issue of whether women should serve as deacons is restricted to a few verses - Romans 16:1, 1 Timothy 3:11. Phoebe is called a 'deacon of the church in Cenchreae' (Romans 16:1). Having women as deacons doesn’t contradict 1 Tim. 2:12 because deacons don’t teach or exercise authority over men; so women deacons don’t contradict male leadership) must be reverent (a feeling of deep respect, love, awe, and devotion to God; it is a virtue that involves a mix of fear and high regard, and is considered a reflex action in the presence of God) not double-tongued (deceitful, double-dealing, hypocritical, and two-faced), not given to much wine (Ezekiel 44:21), not greedy for money; holding the mystery of The Faith (something that can only be understood through divine revelation = Holy Spirit inspiration) with a pure conscience (absolute, eternal and subject to no change). But let these also first be proved (demonstrate to be the specified thing by evidence); then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless (those who cannot be accused of wrongdoing before people or God).

He chased Church Records & Documents to write this book … I figure he knows what he's talking about.

Male deacon's wives (a woman legally married to a man) must be reverent, not slanderers (someone who damages another person's reputation by spreading false or damaging statements about them), temperate (moderate or self-restrained; not extreme in opinion, or statement), faithful (steadfast in affection or allegiance: loyal, a faithful friend, firm in adherence to promises or in observance of duty) in all things (the entirety of a group of items or concepts).

Let deacons be the husband of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

For those who have served well as deacons obtain (get, acquire, or secure) for themselves a good standing (in favor or on good terms) and great boldness (a spirit-empowered conviction, courage, and willful urgency to do the right thing at the right time, regardless of fear or barriers) in The Faith which is in Yeshua Ha'Mashiach (Matthew 25:21).

Conduct in  the House of God

(vv. 14 thru 16)

These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought (used to show when it is necessary or would be a good thing to perform the activity referred to) to conduct (the manner in which a person behaves, especially on a particular occasion, or in a particular context) yourself in the house of God; which is the meeting place of the ^^^Church of the *****Living God - the foundation (spiritual foundation = Luke 6:48) and mainstay (this reference comes from 1 Timothy 3:15: Pillar and mainstay, or buttress,  are both features that hold something else up; so, the Church holds up and supports the truth … the immediate context being that 'truth' is the truth of Christ's person and ministry) of the Truth.

And without controversy (intense public argument, disagreement, disapproval; quarrel, strife), great is the mystery of godliness (self explanatory passage: "Christ was manifest in the flesh and was pure in the spirit, beheld by the angels, proclaimed among the nations." The essential message here is that Jesus Christ came as a Man like us and was yet pure in His spirit. So, we too, need not sin when we walk in the power of the *******Ruach HaKo'desh): God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit (Matthew 3:16 & John 1:14), seen by angels (Matthew 28:2), preached among the Gentiles (Romans 10:18), believed on, in the world (Colossians 1:6 & 23), and received up, into glory (Luke 24:51)."


*Apostle Paul = known as Saul before he converted to Christianity (Acts 9), was the chief killer of Christians following Yeshua’s death, resurrection, and ascension – being the foremost witness to the stoning of Stephen (Acts 7).

The Apostle Paul was one of the most influential leaders of the early Christian Church. He played a crucial role in spreading the gospel to the Gentiles (non-Jews) during the first century, and his missionary journeys took him all throughout the Roman empire.

**Timothy = son of the devout Jewish woman, Eunice, and a Greek father, Timothy became a follower of Yeshua Ha’Mashiach when Apostle Paul preached the Gospel in Lystra, Timothy’s hometown. Paul invited the young convert to accompany him on his second missionary journey; and was sent to Thessalonica to strengthen the fellowship there. After another journey with Paul, Timothy was sent to Corinth to straighten out some problems upsetting the fellowship there.
Timothy later looked after Paul during Paul’s imprisonment. Timothy subsequently was asked to go to Ephesus to represent Paul, and received the two letters from Paul that bear Timothy’s Name. Timothy – these letters reveal, was like a son to Paul.

The last word in the New Covenant about this sensitive, sickly, but faithful young helper was that he was imprisoned but finally released. Acts 16:1, 17:14-15, 18:5, 19:22 & 20:4; Romans 16:21; 1 Corinthians 4;17 & 16:10; 2 Corinthians1:1 & 19; Colossians 1:1; 1 Thessalonians 1:1, 3:2, & 6; 2 Thessalonians 1:1; 1 & 2 Timothy; Philemon 1; and Hebrews 13:23.

***Apostle (/əˈpɒsəl/), in its literal sense, is an emissary. The word is derived from Ancient Greek ἀπόστολος (apóstolos), literally "one who is sent off", itself derived from the verb ἀποστέλλειν (apostéllein), "to send off". The purpose of such sending off is usually to convey a message, and thus "messenger" is a common alternative translation; other common translations include "ambassador" and "envoy".

Apostle in the Gospels is one of an authoritative New Testament group sent out to preach the gospel and made up especially of Christ's 12 original disciples and Paul.

****Yeshua Ha’Mashiach: is Hebrew for “Jesus the Messiah”; the name Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Yeshua.

Christ (from the Hebrew word, Ha’Mashiach ישוע המשיח & the Greek word, Christos/khris-tos) = The Anointed, Yeshua the Messiah, in both languages.

Lord Jesus Christ (in Greek: Kyrios Iēsous Christos) = the most formal title for Jesus (Yeshua). It occurs often in the New Testament letters.

The word “Lord” has a wide range of uses; it can be a simple respectful “Sir” or a more formal, “Master.” But the New Testament also uses “Lord” of God. The word “Christ” is the anglicized form of the Greek word meaning “anointed one” or “Messiah.” “Lord Jesus Christ” reminds us that Jesus is both the promised Messiah and our God.

*****Elohim (Hebrew: אֱלֹהִים, romanized: ʾּlōhīm: [(eloˈ(h)im]) is a Hebrew word meaning "Gods – Father, Son, & Holy Spirit". Although the word is plural in form, in the Hebrew Bible it usually refers to a single deity “Behold, the Lord – the Lord is One”, particularly the God of Israel.

The Hebrew name for "the living God" is Elohim Chayim (אלהים חיים). The name is made up of two parts:
Elohim: The plural form of the Hebrew word for God. Although it is plural in form, it is usually understood as singular when referring to the God of Israel.

Chayim: The plural form of the Hebrew word for "life".

The name Elohim Chayim emphasizes that God is alive, active, and superior to all other objects of worship. It can also be interpreted as representing the three living persons of the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

******Lucifer = A name for the leader of the devils; an angel who was cast from heaven into hell because he rebelled against Elohim. Lucifer is usually identified with Satan. The name Lucifer, which means “bearer of light” or “morning star,” refers to his former splendor as the greatest of the angels (Isaiah 14:12-15).

*******Ruach HaKo'desh (The Hebrew language phrase ruach ha-kodesh is pronounced ROO-akh-KOH-desh: רוח הקודש, "holy spirit" also transliterated ruaḥ ha-qodesh) is used in the Hebrew Bible and Jewish writings to refer to the spirit of YHWH (רוח יהוה); the Holy Spirit occurs 90 times in the Brit Chadashah. Luke 3:16; Ephesians 1:13, & 4:30; 1 Thessalonians 4:8; Titus 3:5; 1 Corinthians 6:9; & Jude 1:20.

The New Testament is called the B'rit Chadashah in Hebrew, meaning "New Covenant" (the word B'rit means "covenant" and Chadashah means "new").

^Angel: (n) – a spiritual being in position of attendant, agent, or messenger of Elohim (often represented in human form with wings and a long robe).

^^Gentile = person who is not Jewish. The word stems from the Hebrew term ha-goyim, “the nations,” meant nations of the world that were not Hebrew.

^^^Church = The word translated "Church" is the translation of the Greek term ekklesia, and is used in the New Covenant (New Testament) to identify the community of believers in Yeshua Ha'Mashiach.This word is the Greek words kaleo (to call), with the prefix ek (out). Thus, the word means "the called out ones."

However, the English word "Church" does not come from ekklesia but from the word kuriakon, which means "dedicated to the Lord."

#Good News = Gospel: the word is derived from the Anglo-Saxon term, god-spell, meaning “good story”; Biblically speaking, gospel is a rendering of the Latin evangelium and the Greek euangelion, meaning “good news” or “good telling”.

##Heaven: The Hebrews acknowledge three heavens – the atmosphere surrounding Earth; the firmament of outer space, in which the stars are placed; and the heaven of Heavens, or third heaven, which is he residence of Jehovah.

Among Christians, Heaven is the place where the omnipresent God of Gods dwells and manifests His supreme glory; this habitation of God is represented by the residence of angels and the blessed spirits of those who are rewarded eternal salvation.

###Faith = The closest that the Bible comes to offering an exact definition is Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” From this particular passage we understand that the central feature of scriptural faith is confidence or trust; the object of faith is Elohim and His promises in Yeshua Ha'Mashiach.
