Our lives have changed so much since January 7th, 2023 ... New Marriage/New Life: the blending of two into one, gets dicey at times - daily life on the road adds more dicey complications. This is our story of our life in our 5th wheel RV Home. I post about anything & everything, and if what I post can help someone else, I'm glad for the experience. But from sunrise to sunset, we live our Life for US.
And THIS is WHY Elohim mandates MARRIAGE & FAMILY.
It's in these things that Elohim's character can shine; Yeshua's redemption is honed; and the Spirit's peace can rein.
Behaviors have consequences.
Marriage creates unity … which can be harmonious when when the 2 that become 1 pull in tandem. Relying on Elohim is a "a threefold cord not easily broken": Ecclesiastes 4:12, emphasizing the power of unity and teamwork, suggesting that strength and resilience are found in relationships.
Family pulls on ALL the aspects of Elohim, Yeshua, and the Ruach Hako'Desh: Galatians 5:22-23~Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness … and Self-control.
And the GLUE that holds it all together is Jesus telling Peter to forgive "seventy times seven" in Matthew 18:22. This means that we should forgive others without limit, whenever they ask for forgiveness.
While it is true that hurt cannot be undone - it CAN be worked through.
I do not believe this witchy bitch had a 'freudian slip' - I believe she knew EXACTLY what she was saying, and how she said it.
The DEMON RATS of the obamanite sector of society mean to continue the insane trump derangement … the democrats have lost their party to the aimless muslim hatred & the communist doctrine, that fuels the obama's and their minions (Hitler also was a communist advocate). They have sold their souls to political and religious radicalism. Reality no longer exists for them.
VERBATUM REPEAT: "We will continue to speak lies to his truths."
Our ONLY HOPE in America, is that the ancient cadavers in DC DIE OUT, and that the soulless obamanite minions … follow suit.

As to the {tariffs war} - mexico and canada can get with the program, play fair … or destroy their countries with their short-sighted self-righteous bratty behaviors. Baby-faced, and bratty toned Treaudeau, is as moronic as his father was: both are losers … and the mexican blowhard, thinking she is so important … is run by the drug cartels in her country.
Americans VOTED TRUMP IN to "make America great again!"
That's what he's doing - that's what he'll continue to do; America does NOT "need mexico or canada": they need America. We can wait the brats out; sooner or later they'll want to stop stomping their angry feet & shaking their bully fists, and take a breath; realizing that no one is paying attention to their tirades. Life goes on.
But, America is no longer going to be the world's babysitter - and Americans are no loner going to give way to global bullies who want to run our playground.
Prison is the last place from which to expect a letter of encouragement, but that is where ^Paul's second letter to ^^Timothy originated(begin; start). He begins by assuring(to inform or tell positively; to say with confidence) Timothy of his continuing love and prayers, and reminds him of his spiritual heritage and responsibilities. Only the one who perseveres(to continue making an effort to do; to work to achieve something - even when this is difficult, or takes a long time) - whether as a soldier, athlete, farmer, or minister of *Yeshua Ha'Mashiach - will reap the reward. Paul warns Timothy that his teaching will come under attack as men desert the #Truth for "ear itching" (be more concerned with what feels good or comfortable, not with the truth; to seek out teachers who support their own views) words.
But Timothy has Paul's example to guide him and **Elohim's ##Word to fortify(strengthen; secure firmly) him as he faces growing oppositions and glowing opportunities in the last days.
Timothy's name is found more often in the salutations (greetings) of the Pauline ###Epistles than any other (2 Corinthians; Philippians; Colossians; 1 & 2 Thessalonians; 1 & 2 Timothy). Timothy's father was a Greek (Acts 16:1), but his Jewish mother ^^^Eunice, and his grandmother ^^^^Lois, reared him in the knowledge of the Hebrew Scriptures (1:5). Timothy evidently became a convert of Paul (1 Corinthians 4:17; 1 Timothy 1:2; 2 Timothy 1:2) when the Apostle Paul was in Lystra on his first missionary journey (Acts 14:8 thru 20).
Lystra during Paul's timeline, was a remote market town in Lycaonia - which would be south-central modern-day Turkey.
When Paul visited Lystra on his second missionary journey, he decided to take Timothy along with him and circumcised(a hood of skin, called the foreskin, covers the head (or glans) of the penis; in circumcision, the foreskin is surgically removed, exposing the end of the penis) him because of the %Jews (Acts 16:1 thru 3). Timothy was ordained(to be officially declared) into the ministry (1 Timothy 4:14 & 2 Timothy 1:6) and served as a devoted companion and assistant to Paul in Troas, Berea, Thessalonica, and Corinth (Acts 16 thru 18; 1 Thessalonians 3:1, 2). During the third missionary journey, Timothy labored with Paul and ministered for him - as his representative(standing in authority for another; or acting on behalf of another) - in Ephesus, Macedonia, and Corinth; he was with Paul during his first Roman imprisonment. Paul trusted Timothy to supervise the ministry in Ephesus (1 Timothy 1:3). According to Hebrews 13:23, Timothy was imprisoned and released - but the passage does not say where.
Timothy was sicky (1 Timothy 5:23), timid(shy, nervous; lack confidence in themselves), and youthful (1 Timothy 4:12) - but he was a gifted teacher who was trustworthy and diligent(careful, hard-working, and persistent in efforts).

2 TIMOTHY ~ Chapter 1
Thanksgiving For Timothy's Faith
(vv. 1 thru 5)
"Paul, an apostle of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach by the Will of Elohim, according to the promise of Life - which is in Yeshua the Messiah.
To Timothy, my beloved son: grace, mercy, and peace from Elohim the Father and Yeshua the Messiah, our ***Lord (1 Timothy 1:2). I thank Elohim, Whom I serve(to perform a role or function) with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day (Acts 24:14), greatly desiring(to want something very much or have a strong longing for something) to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy(great delight; happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying), when I call to remembrance (an act of recalling to mind) the genuine(absolute, certain, honest)!Faith that is in you; which dwelt(lived; stayed; existed) first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice - and I am persuaded(from the Hebrew לְדַרְבֵּן {leh-dahr-BEN} = to motivate, to persuade) in you also.
Reminder of Timothy's Responsibility
(vv. 6 thru 18)
Therefore, I remind (to make someone aware of something) you to stir up(to ignite = cause to start burning; strength, zeal) the gift(charisma = khar'-is-mah: a divine spiritual endowment; religious qualification; or miraculous faculty - a free gift) of Elohim which is in you through the laying on of hands(in Christianity, the "laying on of hands" is an action associated with blessings, commissioning, or the imparting of spiritual gifts, or to make bold with divine power, such as the Holy Spirit)~(Acts 8:14 thru 17 &1 Timothy 4:14). For **Elohei (el-o-hey) has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind(sane, rational, and mentally competent, capable of making sound judgments and understanding their actions: sensible & well-balanced)~(Acts 1:8 & Romans 8:15).Therefore do not be ashamed(distressed or embarrassed) of the testimony(the act of sharing one's personal experiences, encounters, and reflections of Yeshua's work in our lives) of our *Lord, nor of me in the sufferings for the ####Gospel according to the power of Elohim, Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling(a divine invitation to dedicate one's life to Elohim: based on Elohim's grace {an unearned gift or favor} and purpose {Elohim's Plan = Ephesians 2:1-10; Romans 8:29; 12:1-2}, and it emphasizes the idea that people are chosen to fulfill a spiritual mission) - not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Yeshua the Messiah before time began (Romans 3:20, Romans 8:28, & Romans 16:25), but now has been revealed(to make known; or show something that is surprising; or that was previously secret) by the appearing(to be seen) of our Savior Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Who has abolished(to completely do away with)death(die in all respects of the word) and brought life (the gift of the ***Ruach HaKo'desh = breathed upon by superhuman life force; spiritual soul, & physical body, revived and restored) and immortality(to live forever; eternal life) to light through the Gospel (Ephesians 1:9) to which I was appointed a preacher, an ^apostle, and a teacher of the ^^^^^Gentiles.
For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know in Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed(to have made a pledge or promise) to Him until that #####Day.
Hold fast(to firmly remain in the same position or keep the same opinion) the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, of faith and love which are in Yeshua Ha’Mashiach (1 Timothy 6:3). That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Ruach HaKo'desh, Who dwells in us.
This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are ^#Phygellus & ^^#Hermoggenes.
The Lord grant mercy to the household of ^^^#Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my imprisonment; but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very diligently and found me. The Lord grant(to give or permit) to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day - and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus (2 Thessalonians 1:10 & Hebrews 6:10).
^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.
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.
^^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.
^^^Eunice = a Jewish woman who lived in Lystra in Asia Minor, married to a gentile man. Their son, Timothy, was never circumcised - perhaps out of respect for Eunice's husband. However, Eunice and her mother, Lois, carefully taught the youngster the Torah. She was probably converted to Yeshua Ha'Mashiach by Paul's 1st missionary journey through Lystra; she was a Christian by the time Paul revisited Lystra a second time. Acts 16:1; 2 Timothy 1:5 & 3:15
^^^^Lois = Grandmother of Timothy, and mother of Eunice, Timothy's mother. Lois was a devout Jewish woman who lived with her daughter in Lystra, in Asia Minor. She helped look after Paul when he & Barnabas were nearly killed by the angry mob - and through Paul, became a Christian Believer. A woman of "unfeigned faith", she taught her daughter and grandson the Jewish Scriptures. She was held in high esteem by Paul, and was referred to by Paul when he wrote to Timothy to bolster his faith. 2 Timothy 1:5
^^^^^Gentile = a 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.
%Jews = Judaizers, a faction of the Jewish Christians who believed Mosaic Law (laws given to Moses on Mount Sinai; related to relationship with Elohim, civil justice, social behavior, and ethical conduct) & the Levitical Laws (specifically describes the detailed laws concerning worship, ritual purity, and sacrifices, found primarily in the book of Leviticus; with its focus on the priesthood and ritual practices) still applied to all Christians. The Judaizers' doctrine was a false doctrine that mixed grace through Christ, and works through the keeping of the Law. This doctrine was strongly condemned in the book of Galatians.
*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.
Elohei = Hebrew, (אֱלֹהֶי) - can be translated as "God," "my God," or "God of," and is often found in phrases like "God of Israel"; Interchangeable with Elohim.
***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").
#Truth = is that which is consistent with the mind, will, character, glory, and Being (actual source) of Elohim.
##Word = Elohim's revealed Will through His prophets (Old Covenant & New Covenant), the Scriptures (Torah, B'rit Chadashah, & Gospels), and most profoundly - Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Elohim's ultimate and perfect expression in the flesh: John 1:1
###Epistles = letters written to Christians by apostles and other figures. The word "epistle" comes from the Greek word epistolḗ which means "letter".
####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”.
#####The phrase “the Day of Christ” or “the Day of the Lord Jesus” is unique to the Apostle Paul. Paul also called the Day of Christ “that Day” in his last letter. The phrases are found in: 1 Corinthians 1:8, 3:13, 5:5; 2 Corinthians 1:14; Philippians 1:6, 10 & 2:16; 2 Timothy 1:18 & 4:8.
On the other hand, the phrase, “the Day of The Lord” (also called “that Day”) is common throughout the Old Covenant = Abrahamic: the prophets referred constantly to it. In the New Covenant = Gospel, Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Paul and Peter referred to it. Some of those passages are as follows: Isaiah 2:12, 13:6 & 9, and 34:8; Ezekiel 13:5 & 30:3; Joel 1:15, 2:1, 11, & 31, and 3:14; Amos 5:18 & 5:20; Obadiah 1:15; Zephaniah 1:7, 14; Zechariah 14;1; Malachi 4:5; Matthew 24:1-51; Acts 2:20; Romans 2:5; 1 Thessalonians 5;2; 2 Thessalonians 2:2; 2 Peter 3:10 and Revelation 1:10 … and “that Day” phrases can be found in Isaiah 2:11, 17, 20 & 3:18 – this Day is a time of terror, darkness, and wrath: it is a “Day of Visitation”, Isaiah 10:3. A “Day of the wrath of The Lord”, Ezekiel 7:19, and “the Great Day of The Lord”, Zephaniah 1:14.
!Faith = the Hebrew word emunah (אמונה = ee-moon-ah) is translated to "faith" or "belief" in English. It can also be translated as "faithfulness". However, emunah is more closely related to the word "trust". It describes a life of complete reliance on God, and implies loyalty and trust in Him (Genesis 15:6). In Deuteronomy 7:9, God is referred to as "El Emunah", which means "the faithful God". Emunah is not just about accepting God's statements as true, but rather about demonstrating trust in God.
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.
Emunah is a gift from God, since it presupposes God's disclosure and revelation to the person who expresses it.
Emunah is expressed by living our lives in conscious trust of the promises and Presence of the LORD.
^#Phygellus = (pronounced: fi-gel'-us or fij'-oo-lus) was a one-time enthusiast for the Gospel, and one-time supporter of Paul, Phygellus hurt & disappointed Paul by ignoring him during Paul's last imprisonment at Rome. Perhaps it was fear of guilt by association, perhaps it was a quarrel over doctrine that led Phygellus and his associate Hermogenes to refuse to help Paul in his hour of need. 2 Timothy 1:15
^^#Hermogenes = (pronounced: her'-mah-genees) was an early Christian who was one of Paul's helpers. Also, one of those in Asia who deserted Paul during the Apostle's final imprisonment. Paul did not elaborate to Timothy on exactly what Hermogenes had done, but implied that fear of guilt by association may have been the the thrust behind the defection of himself, Phygellus, and all the others from Asia. 2 Timothy 1:15
^^^#Onesiphorus = (pronounced: On-eh-sif'-or-us) was a loyal friend of Paul, who at a time when everyone else was avoiding contact, took risks and effort to hunt for Paul's whereabouts when Paul was in a roman prison. Onesiphorus was from Ephesus and was an active member of the Christian fellowship there. Paul's recollection of Onesiphorus' ministry at Ephesus suggest that Onesiphorus was a deacon in that church. Onesiphorus' kindness to Paul in the roman prison came at a time when Paul was alone and friendless - and was deeply appreciated. 2 Timothy 1:16
