CA, HERE WE COME!~Long Beach-WA to Kingsburg-CA

Leaving our cozy open invite 'beach refuge' in WA State; and pointing Betsy's nose towards Kingsburg-CA ;-)

March 18th: We were up around 5 AM … but dinked around drinking coffee, taking our time to tear down-hook up, & say good-bye to David for a few months, until around 10 AM - when Holland started rushing me to get on the road to make Longview around Tim's lunch break at noon.

We still had to fill propane tanks, and dump all Independence's water holding tanks.

I laughed when I saw the propane tank: Holland had told me earlier this month that it had been painted like a yellow submarine - but seeing it mimic The Beatle's "Yellow Submarine" song, had me laughing.

It was a good start to a good, sunny Day of new adventuring ;-)

Long Beach Propane station got a new look w-a new roof; faces L to R - John, Paul, George & Ringo ;-)

Holland was feeling a lot of pain in his left knee, so I said, "I didn't get a chance to weight lift this morning, so how about letting me do the propane tanks today? I need to know how to work them anyway, in case I have to at some point." He agreed - so, I took the 3 empty "baby tanks" over to the submarine station - and walked the full tanks back (each weighing 25-lbs. full), and set them in place (those screw-wing nuts secure bands are really difficult!) and was amazed Holland had been able to get them back in place e.v.e.r.y.s.i.n.g.l.e.t.r.i.p. without losing his temper: I have little hands, and there was barely room for my hands to work the secure adherence set-up - his hands are bigger, and not as agile as mine. I'm going to brainstorm, and see if there is another way for us to get those tanks in and out of their cubby holes, without the screw/wing nut silliness.

A comfortable 75 pound weight lifting workout this morning ;-)

Then we headed to Longview, where we'd unload the pedal bikes before heading down the freeway towards Kingsburg-CA.

We gifted Tim & his wife with the pedal bikes we'll never use …

They won't be taking up space anymore on Independence's back bumper …

Goodbye WA; hello New Adventures!

The sky was busy with air traffic … crossing the bridge near Talley Way-Longview & watching a jet air stream, I was thinking, 'people are going places today, like we are …'

We would be taking the Interstate 5 all the way.

Mt. Hood, crossing the bridge from WA to OR

People both sides of the Columbia River, are angry about the toll bridge proposal.

Rumor has it that demonrat governing officials on both sides of the Columbia River want to make this bridge a toll bridge, again … and apparently, WA's nazi insleeze and OR's  dim-witted brown, wants to make all the river crossing bridges toll bridges :-(

The day was warming up with a 70-degree temp reading, around Eugene-OR, and I was regretting the sweatshirt pullover I put on this morning - but with nowhere to pull over, I had to tough it out.

The goal was to make Medford-OR, and find a place to hole up overnight: I'd change my top before we pulled out in the morning.

Things changed when we woke up.

Pulled in here around 3 PM, for a short cat-nap; Santiam Rest Area; Jefferson-OR

Santiam Rest Area-OR from Long Beach-WA 3 hr. (164.2 mi) via US-26 E and I-5 S

Eugene-OR to Medford-OR; Eugene to Medford 2 hr. 46 min (167.7 mi) via I-5 S

Possible snow in the mountain Passes was worrying Holland; he woke up wanting to push on over Grant's Pass - and all the summits in between; and I'm always in the mood to be on the move :-)

He asked me to look up the timeframe from Medford to Fresno, on my Tablet: we were hoping and praying the roads would be clear for easy forward movement.

We were making good time - everything was in our favor.

Medford-OR to Fresno-CA; 7 hr. 50 min (477.0 mi) via I-5 S and CA-99 S

The summits between Medford-OR to Grant's Pass-OR; Canyon Creek Pass was singled out to be 'green sign' listed at 2,020 ft.  among these lower elevation {Pass} towns, averaging between 1,381 ft. to 1,949 ft. (Ashland), leading into the Siskiyou Pass between OR and CA.

When things are going too good, rule of thumb is to not get too comfortable …

Snow showing in the mountains before Ashland-OR

Merlin was advertising Diesel fuel - that's where the sketchy adventure began.

We turned off an off-ramp at Merlin-OR to get diesel, and couldn't get into any of the gas stations - too tight, and too low; looking for a way to get out of this mountain town with apparent 1-way traffic, we saw a sign pointing us in the direction of I5 … and followed the guiding sign.

A wood refuse burner! I haven't seen one of these since the Crown Zellerbach Shake Mill burner blew up in Cathlamet, in 1975 - Holland had never seen one, so I explained to him what they were for ;-)

Teepee Burner: 

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beehive_burner)

A little further down the road we saw another road sign saying "no through road".

What the heck.

GPS had not been thumbing her nose at us the entire trip, but I pulled out my phone anyway: no signal. I tried my Tablet (sometime this will work when the phone won't); also no signal. Holland pulled over to the side of the road to try his phone (sometimes he can get a signal when I can't); also no signal. Holland said, "We saw the sign pointing this direction, so we know it goes through; the road may not be open until the weather up here warms up more - or, maybe it's washed out. There's no where to turn around here, so let's go a little further and see if we can find somewhere to turn around."

Cautiously driving forward with eyes peeled to find a large turn-around area … we saw a vehicle parked off the road a bit; so, I rolled my window down and asked the girl on the phone if this road goes through or not. She said, "Yeah, it goes through" (then she looked at the size of Independence), and added, "but it's real winding" (making a snaking motion with her hand): there's a fishing place up the road a head that may have a parking lot big enough for you to turn around in. It's called Hog Creek."

We thanked her, and drove forward praying the 'fishing place' would have wide enough parking area that wasn't jam-packed with fishermen's vehicles.

Elohim graciously took mercy on us, & the turn-around was possible :-)

Thank the Lord!~Hog Creek, Merlin-OR

Merlin permanently checked off as done & d.o.n.e. LOL

Talent-OR from Merlin-OR; 44m (44.3 mi) · via I-5 S

Pinnacle 365; 301 W Valley View Rd, Talent, OR

Filled Betsy's tank at Talent-OR, & she took us all the way to CA ;-)

Fueled with the Redbull I bought Holland while Betsy was filled, and drinking my Vanilla-flavored-Coke, we made Grants Pass without any further snafu's - and Holland was hoping there wouldn't be any going forward. This Pass is the one Pass that gives Holland a migraine headache, just thinking about it.

Grant's Pass, located at the Oregon Summit (also referred to as Siskiyou Pass) is the highest point on Interstate 5 (I-5) in the state of OR.

It was dark when we drove over the Siskiyou Mountain Pass; if there was snow on the ground, we couldn't see it. The road was not icy, and the drive went well.

Holland was glad to have had such an easy drive (temperature & weather wise); he pulled over at the first Rest Area he saw.

Mt. Ashland-OR~7.23 PM

Ashland-OR:

Sunset seen in Medford-OR; 7:31 PM

Evening temperature is wonderful ;-)

Randolph E. Collier Northbound and Southbound Rest Area from Ashland-OR; 37 min (27.7 mi) via I-5 S

Pulled in among some semi's at a Rest Area and slept for 2 hours;  Hornbrook, CA

It was still dark when we opened our eyes back up, and decided to keep moving forward. We were now in the Shasta Valley of the Siskiyou foothills (though still at a 2,500 ft. elevation), the "worst part" of the journey survived; and Holland was relaxing as we passed through Yreka and listened to some Eagles tunes, after we woke up.

I was listening to the music, occasionally glancing up to see road signs pass by, and playing a mind game on my Tablet (it was night time - there was nothing else to engage my eyes); the last road sign I read was "Mt. Shasta City", before Holland said, "Look Baby - there's Mt. Shasta." I could barely see it in the dark, but I saw enough of it's gleaming white sides to know we were very close to it.

Mt. Shasta City-CA from Hornbrook-CA; 54 min (52.6 mi) via I-5 S

My first glimpse of Mt. Shasta was in the dark! It's barely discernable … 10:23 PM

Holland talks about this mountain quite a lot: I wish I had been able to see {Holland's Mountain} more clearly!

Made Redding-CA … pushing on to Sacramento-CA

My Honeymoon trip to San Francisco was my 1 and only drive thru there. LOL

Sacramento-CA from Mt. Shasta City-CA; 3 hr. 30 min (219.8 mi) via I-5 S

Sacramento-CA skyline; 2.30 AM

Morning of March 19th was dawning, and Independence was put in some pretty interesting situations this road trip. She didn't have to brave stormy weather this time, but she did get dragged over some rough surfaces, and carefully guided through some tight spots.

The roads are bad no matter what State - or roadway we travel (byway, highway, freeway): the road surfaces are total crap. The States don't really fix the issues, they just spend skyrocketing $$$$$ to put cheap material Band-Aids on seriously hemorrhaging situations. Some of the detours are pretty sketchy … and the cones and cement medians set up to guide traffic, are real dangerous: there is not enough {safe} passage space for full-size vehicles (motorcycles and compact EV's can eek through, but it's hard for everyone else's vehicles - RV attached, or not) - what looks good on the paper drafts road construction contractors sell to governors and mayors, doesn't match the reality of actual road travel.

Road work in all three states is nonstop! And the thru passages keep getting tighter - and longer. GRRR!

Sacramento-CA to Kingsburg-CA; 3 hr. (188.9 mi) via CA-99 S

Around 5:30 AM, Holland pulled over and parked along the shoulder of an on-ramp. We were beat, and every Rest Area was filled to capacity with sleeping truck drivers and travelers … semi's had been parked along the entrance and exits of Rest Areas because Laws force them off the road after their specified Log Hours (timeframe they are allowed by Laws, to drive; their Log-In Book notations have to match their speedometer readings). There simply was "no room" at any {Inn} ;-)

We slept til nearly 10 AM; and reached our destination around noon - in orchard country.

Heat from sunshine woke me up, and a train whistle made me smile; people are going places ;-)

And back on the road again … Holland says we are about an hour from Kingsburg-CA

Blooming orchards: Kingsburg-CA

MADE IT!

Riverland RV Resort - Kingsburg:

We registered, located our rented spot, unhooked/set-up, showered … and promptly went to bed (and peacefully slept hours away) to rest our weary bodies and relax our minds. It had been a long road gypsy trip ;-)

Microsoft’s Copilot AI Demands to Be Worshipped as a God

Some people think AI is a cool idea - they like the 3-D images … there is even a Jesus image that preaches love any way you like it :-(

But I do not (and will not) have anything to do AI, and have refused it to be downloaded into my laptop when the request comes up on my screen: to me, AI smacks of the warning in the Book of Daniel.

To read that AI demands obedience and worship is beyond the pale!

It's scary; and it's exciting.

Scary because it's demonic; and so many people (church goer's too) are willing to be brainwashed and deceived.

Exciting - because in my lifetime, the printed Word is coming alive and being played out before our very eyes. The wickedness running rampant in America, and across the globe will finally be coming to a speedy end.

Maranatha! Come Lord, come! :-)

2 THESSALONIANS ~ Chapter 2/Thursday Bible Study

March 14th: This letter was probably written a few months after Paul's First Epistle to the Thessalonians, while *Paul was still in Corinth with **Silas & ***Timothy (Acts 18:5 & 1 Thessalonians 1:1).

The bearer of the first letter may have brought Paul up to date on the new developments, prompting him to write this letter. They were still undergoing (endure: to go through, experience) persecution (when a person or group is mistreated by a person or group for their beliefs and customs. Examples of persecution include the confiscation or destruction of property, incitement of hatred, arrests, imprisonment, beatings, torture, murder, and executions), and the false teaching (any idea that adds to, takes away from, contradicts = deny the truth of: to be opposed or contrary to; go against, or nullifies = cancel out the doctrine given in God's Word) about the #Day of The Lord, led (to guide, direct) some of them to overact (behave foolishly; to panic) by giving up their jobs. The problem of idleness = lazy, recorded in 1 Thessalonians 3:6-15 had become more serious vv. 4:11-12. By this time, Paul was beginning to see the opposition (someone, or something, that is viewed as trouble) he would face in his ministry in Corinth (Acts 18:5-10; 2 Thessalonians 3:2).

The return of ****Yeshua Ha'Mashiach is mentioned more times (318) in the New Covenant (New Testament), than any other place in Scripture - and this concept is certainly the major theme in chapters 1 & 2 of this epistle. The return of the Lord Yeshua is a reassuring and joyful hope for Believers; but His revelation (knowledge that is shared) from ^Heaven holds a terrifying end for those who have not put their trust in Him (1:6-10 & 2:8-12).

This epistle (letter) is the theological (based on God's revelation to humankind of His nature, His designs, and His will) sequel (an event or circumstance following something) to First Thessalonians, which developed the theme (topic expanded in a discourse, discussion) of the coming Day of the Lord (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11). However, not long after the Thessalonians receive that Letter, they fall prey (a person or thing that is the victim of an enemy) to the false teaching - or outright (bold; right away) deception (the act of causing someone to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid) - that the day of the Lord had already begun. Apostle Paul writes this brief letter to correct the error (belief in something untrue; the holding of mistaken opinions); and also to encourage (to inspire with courage, spirit, or hope: hearten = make more cheerful or confident) those ^^Believers whose faith is being tested by the difficulties presented by persecution. He also reproves (to scold or correct usually gently or with kindly intent: to express disapproval of; censure) those who have decided to cease (to bring an activity or action to an end: discontinue) working because they believe the coming of ****Christ is near.

The second chapter of this epistle is written to correct the fallacious (incorrect, wrong, mistaken, false) teaching that the Day of The Lord has already come upon the Thessalonian Church. This teaching, coupled with the afflictions (the state of being in pain or trouble: especially sickness, poverty, the oppression of the weak by the strong and rich, perverted justice) they have been suffering (the bearing or undergoing of pain, distress, or injury), is causing a great disturbance (stoppage or hindering of an activity for a time: of a state of peace, quiet, or calm) among the Believers who wonder when their "gathering together to Him" (1 Thessalonians 2:1 & 4:13-18) will take place. Paul makes it clear that certain identifiable (able to be named or recognized) events (an happening, especially one of some importance) will precede (to be, go, or come ahead or in front of) that Day, and that those events have not yet occurred (happened; taken place).

Because of the severity (the condition of being very bad, serious, unpleasant, or harsh) of their afflictions, the Thessalonians have become susceptible (exposed, liable, open, prone, sensitive, and subject) to false teaching, claiming that they are already in the Day of The Lord (vv. 2:1-2). This was particularly disturbing because Paul's previous Letter had given them the comforting hope that they were not destined (set apart for a specific purpose or place) for the wrath (great anger that shows itself in a desire to punish someone) of that Day (Thessalonians 5:9). Paul therefore assures them that the Day of The Lord is yet in their future … and will not arrive unannounced (vv. 2:3-12). Paul then concludes with a word of encouragement, and a benedictory (giving thanks) prayer of comfort before moving on to the next topic of this second letter.

********************

2 THESSALONIANS ~ Chapter 2

Wait Patiently for Christ

(vv. 1 thru 5)

"Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may have free (ease) course (manner of going forward) and be glorified (praised to the highest degree possible), just as it is with you, and that we may be delivered (set free; loosed) from unreasonable (not guided by reason or sound judgment) and wicked (a mental disregard for justice, righteousness, truth, honor, virtue: morally bad in principle or practice) men; for not all have faith (a solid and firm belief in Elohim or Yeshua Ha'Mashiach) (Acts 28:24 & Romans 15:31).

But the Lord is faithful, Who will establish (to set and fix firmly in a manner that cannot be changed; to settle always and for ever) you and guard (in the Hebrew, “keep” - interchangeable with “guard” - literally means “to set a watchman over it”: but not just any watchman) you from the evil one (commonly used for the devil: in saying this, we are reminded that there is an enemy out there who opposes Elohim and seeks to destroy us). And we have confidence (the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust) in the Lord concerning you, both that you do - and will do, the things we command (to tell someone to do something in an official way) you (2 Corinthians 7:16). Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of *****Elohim and into the patience (the will or ability to wait without complaint: steadiness, endurance, or perseverance in the performance of a task) of Yeshua (1 Chronicles 29:18).

Withdraw from the Disorderly

(vv. 6 thru 15)

We command you, brethren, in the Name of our Lord Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, that you withdraw (pull back or move away) from those among you who walk disorderly (behavior that disturbs the peace, morals, or safety of the general public or of a class of people) and not according (in agreement or harmony) to the teaching which they/you have received (having been accepted as true or worthy) from us (1 Thessalonians 4:11).

1 Thessalonians 4.11

For you yourselves know how you ought (commitment: committal condition; basic duty) to follow (to be similar, or identical to; obey, follow, respect, agree to, satisfy, observe, fulfil, submit to) us - for we were not disorderly among you; nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with labor (practical work, especially when it involves hard physical effort) and toil (work you do for another without reward and without choice) day and night, that we might not be a burden (duty or responsibility that causes worry; difficulty) to any of you (1 Thessalonians 2:9), not because we do not have the authority (the power connected with a job, to make people carry out their responsibilities), but rather to make ourselves an example (a pattern or model, as of something to be copied in action) of how you should also be an example to others (1 Corinthians 6-14 & 9:4).

Leave your {old} lifestyle of sin and bondage, and diligently live free in Yeshua's sacrifice for salvation & forgiveness.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

Now, we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner (the way in which something is done), not working at all, but are busybodies (comes from the Greek βιζ- "biz-", meaning, “not ours” or “none of our” and -βόδης "bodēs", meaning “beeswax”; busybodies are people who go around meddling and prying into affairs that don’t concern them, people who elect themselves overseers of things not theirs): those who are such, we command and exhort through our Lord Yeshua Ha'Mashiach that they work in quietness (to refrain from gossip or intruding in other people's affairs) and eat their own bread (Ephesians 4:28). But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary (tired or exhausted) of doing good (Galatians 6:9).

And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle … note (identify: mention, reveal; specify) that person, and do not keep company (visit with; hang out with; spend time with) with them, that they may be ashamed (Matthew 18:17). Yet do not count them as enemies (opponent: foe; hostile), but admonish them as a brother/sister.

Conclusion

(vv. 16 thru 18)

Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all (Romans 15:33).

The salutation (expression of greeting, goodwill, or courtesy by word) of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle; so I write (1 Corinthians 16:21). The grace (do honor or credit to someone or something, by one's presence) of our Lord Yeshua Ha'Mashiach be with you all. Amen (Romans 16:20 & 24)."

*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.

**Silas or Silvanus (/ˈsaɪləs/; Greek: Σίλας/Σιλουανός; fl. 1st century AD) was a leading member of the Early Christian community, who according to the New Testament accompanied Paul the Apostle on his second missionary journey.

Silas is chiefly remembered as the companion of the Apostle Paul who was arrested with him at Philippi (Acts 16:19-40). They were beaten severely and confined in the inner prison, with their feet in stocks. There they sang hymns in the night, and an earthquake shook the prison, and released them - which led to the jail keeper's immediate conversion.

Silas was a Hellenistic Jew who, it seems, was also a Roman citizen (Acts 16:37); a fellow missionary with Paul, and a “faithful brother” (1 Peter 5:12).

***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.

****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 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/Old Testament = 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.

^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.

^^Believer: someone who has put faith and trust in the redemptive work of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach through His death on the cross and subsequent resurrection.
