HISTORY~Shabbat 2024, Ocean Park-WA

It's important to KNOW actual History.

For decades, American Collages and Universities have taught the LIE that "the Holocaust never happened".

For decades, American Collages and Universities have taught the LIE that there is "a Palestine": the actual Palestine DIED OUT GENERATIONS BEFORE the British military in Israel after WW2, decided arab squatters (who gave ear to adolf hitler's insane murderous ranting) should have a piece of Israel … THAT is what has led to the arab madness (fueled by nazi lunacy THEN and NOW) that has had the last century, and a huge part of this century, it a crazy political grip.

HISTORICAL FACT: Upon achieving power following a political coup blitz, adolf hitler destroyed germany's democratic institutions and transformed germany into a war state intent on conquering Europe for the benefit of the so-called Aryan race.

Today, in America, barak hussain obama announced during his pollical coup more than a decade ago, that he would "transform the landscape of America" - his end goal was to end Christianity in America, and establish a muslim foothold. He promptly announced that American Christians are "domestic terrorists" - and he promptly secured congressional seats, judicial seats, and religious seats for hard-core Jew-hating & American-hating muslims.

What is happening across America with the installment of (1) a muslim Jew & America hater IN the OVAL OFFICE (2) a senile obamanite PUPPET in the White House to further the muslim AGENDA; rioting mobs inciting racism and burning city blocks to the ground; a mindless & lawless distortion of TRUTH & Law and Order FROM CONGRESS, as well as the Oval Office: is a nazi ploy straight out of adolf hitler's handbook, of using politics & court rooms to carry out dictator demands (obama, clinton, pelosi, schumer, schiff, jeffries, cheney, beutler, biden, ellison, carson, omar, tlaib - ALL openly hateful toward Israel & America).

Following the collapse of nazi rule with the victory of D-Day, American politicians REFUSED to allow a ship of war-weary JEWS into American ports … BUT nazi doctors (some who had worked in barbaric concentration camps) were WELCOMED with open arms.

So, now, in America we have mentally-ill {doctors} using a twisted scientific view to further the agenda their forefathers were employing in the concentration camps - to the point behind demonrat's crying loudly for the {right} not only to abort babies at ANY STAGE of life … but also to allow full term babies to starve to death following birth (under the 'watchful eyes' of doctors and nurses, of course); and to unwanted "abort 3 year olds". This evil happened in nazi concentration camps - it has NO PLACE in American {hospitals}. And if that doesn't satisfy the warped scientific 'minds want to know' lunacy, school children are being brainwashed to accept twisted scientific doctrine, even to the point of physical mutilation (brainwashing can be undone - reversal of making a eunuch out of a male child cannot; the removal of a young girl's breasts cannot) 🤬

American {churches} are also parroting political lunacy from the pulpits (same as in nazi germany), and a large part of society is engaging in- and celebrating debauched perversion (same as in nazi germany).

History that has been dismissed repeats itself until Truth sets it right. And if society refuses to straighten up and fly right … civilizations that have fallen prey to wickedness and embrace evil, die out.

American politicians are in the grip of barack hussain obama's muslim hate-fueled ANTI-American tirades & crazy-train-TDS; and Cities, & College campuses, are erupting with full-on hatred & discrimination that is as old as the the rift between ishmael and Isaac: where this arab hatred towards Jews actually began.

And in all this hot mess, most Americans remain silent (same as german citizens in nazi germany).

Fence straddling has got to come to an end.

Americans have to decided which side of the fence they will firmly stand on.

And wishy-washy christians need to get back to Christian TRUTHS-man up-stand up-and lift their voices.

My Church Teaches What? – Pastor Mark Henry: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V4EP65bg6c)

Stopping a tyrannical overthrow of the United States AND the WORLD, the stripping of our Liberties & Freedoms BEGINS with YOU. Do your part and STAND UP for yourSELF before you no longer have a self to stand up for!!!

A BLESSED SURPRISE; Shabbat~Ocean Park-WA

Today was pretty low-key.

And filled with humor … as well as unknown blessings.

Yoda dropped by the Pioneer Market, as we were pulling out ;-)

We had to drive to T-Mobile in Warrenton-OR to trade our internet tower in, for an updated one. Our tower has stopped working, and we are using the RV Park connection to get online; we want our own connection that will be reliable when we are road tripping - so, off we went toward Oregon, this morning.

We were there for 2 hours; everything had to be synched with the tower - including the new watch I came home with ;-)

It was a watch I have been wanting basically for the heart rate monitoring & activity calorie burning tally feature … and the price was right; sale price was $10 to walk out the door with it, and $14/mo. x 24 months. It was doable.

This feature will relieve some stress for Holland's peace of mind.

This feature will keep my weight loss goal on track.

I've never seen this before, here: a 'minus tide' in Chinook-WA.

The best feature for me is that there is no metal whatsoever on it that will touch my skin - metal burns my skin like acid, it burns into my skin, and will literally peel the skin off me when it is lifted (I even have to be careful with the miniscule metal on eyeglasses): no metal is a big score :-)

No metal; anywhere. It's perfect ;-)

I'm considering the tower snafu to be a blessing: it being on the fritz got us to T-Mobile, where a watch was waiting for me. Again, Elohim heard my prayer and prepared the way for me.

When we got home, Holland made us a tasty Supper smoothie: so good!

Today has been a perfectly wonderful day - even with the rain.

I have been blessed in every way possible, this Shabbat :-)

Liquid Supper tonight - a veggie-fruit smoothie; Holland's own recipe - he makes these recipes up on the fly. YUM!

LOVE + MORE ...

 

THE DEPOT~Seaview-WA

May 2nd: I've been sleeping pretty much around the clock; asthma is seriously draining me :-(

So, this morning when Holland saw me looking out my window, he knew I was missing my Bible Study gal pals. He said, "How about we get you out of the house, and get some fresh air for you." I am so worn out from trying to stay alive … but, I agreed. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired; some fresh air sounded wonderful.

We originally drove down the road a bit to the Ocean Park Beach Approach - about 5 minutes from our front door, and Holland's favorite waves viewing spot ;-)

As we were getting into Betsy, I noticed busy bees flitting among the little white flowers I assumed to be ground daisies … they were wild alpine strawberries instead.

And I spied a heavily blooming Lilac, across the street.

A calm ocean today; Ocean Park Access-WA; #1100 Bay Ave, Ocean Park, WA

The waves were so calm today.

That made me curious.

So, I asked Holland if we could drive to the Seaview Approach and see what the waves looked like there: to me, they seem to be wilder at that end of the beach.

There were surprises waiting for us there ;-)

A little wilder - but still mild; Seaview Approach-WA

What is that, on the beach; Seaview-WA

A dead baby whale; and people vultures were already picking it clean.

We noticed something on the beach - and people milling around; Holland said it was probably a beached whale: he was right. The stench lingered on the ocean winds, for miles up and down the beach: a salty, ocean-briny-rot odor. Very ripe.

Then he told me about a dead beached whale that had been blown up around Coos Bay-OR; seeing my raised eyebrows, he said, "Go research it. It really happened". And I burst out laughing at the sheer spectacle of flying whale fat.

But, nothing could have prepared me for the actual footage.

OMG

It really wasn't funny; it was actually pretty seriously dangerous for the spectators - but, I am still laughing.

Beach drive …

Beard's Hollow, in the distance.

A Bald-headed Eagle, and his mate.

And there, at that rocky point, is where my life nearly ended in the Summer of 1971.

My new POW stepfather swam out to retrieve me - he was chest deep in waves when he grabbed me, and seriously said, "If you struggle on the swim back, I will knock you out". The waves definitely were not safe, for either of us - and John wasn't being mean spirited: he said it very calmly. He knew I was uncomfortable in deep water, and I knew that if I panicked, both of us would have perished. I had been teenage stupid, and he would have been justified.

Seaview Approach-WA

As we left the beach behind, we spied The Depot Restaurant … and Holland nipped into their parking lot: he remembered the convo with locals the other day.

I noticed, as we pulled around the building to park, that The Depot has it's own chuck wagon … if the food is good today, I will be looking for it among the other's :-)

This is the only depot still in its original location; and it is currently operating as The Depot Restaurant, which celebrates local history by maintaining the building; and filling the interior with railroad murals, memorabilia, and life.

This is the only Clam Shell Railroad Depot still in its original location.

The Depot Restaurant, located at #1208 38th Pl, Seaview, WA

This historic 132 year old Train Depot feels like a French Café, with it's cozy interior and retro vibe.

Tables are set up very nicely; dry statice flowers, dried teasel stems, and evergreen sprigs.

The Depot's Margarita … (((NO!))) I did not like it at all :-(

Beautiful Wall Mural.

We both ordered the 'Tinker's Treasure' Burger with Tots; YUMMY! The burgers were fat and juicy-messy … but delicious; I wore my napkin as a shirt bib - and was glad I did ;-)

The food here is top cuisine, and the prices are reasonable.

The margarita was small compared to other places; on the steep side, and not very tasty; the large sized coke was priced right, & the burgers were reasonably priced.

The gourmet 'Tinker's Treasure' Burgers were a delight to the taste buds; made with a hefty beef patty, goat cheese, red onion, shallot, mushrooms, & baby greens - and a side of special house sauce with the tots.

I'm not going to lie: the total tally was spendy, but also worth every penny. The food was top-hat, the service was attentive … and informative. We learned a lot about the place, the ownership, and other local places to explore and enjoy ;-)

This was very good restaurant meal at a reasonable price when you consider that you will be forking out $21 for a Subway sandwich! NO

And $30 is the predicted price for a Hamburger at a fast food place! NO

Thank you, Husband, for a Day Out; thank you for treating me to a spoiling day, even when I look a fright & feel out of sorts ;-)

This trip back to WA, we've tried most of the food offerings, from Seaview to Long Beach.

We plan on checking this out too, at some point - it's literally 5 minutes away.

Today was a good Day, spent with my loving Husband; next Thursday though, I hope to be with the girls in Rosburg.

Holland understands - and is supportive.

(((WAKIE, WAKIE PEOPLE!)))

America IS the ONLY {safe harbor} for the entire WORLD.

And brainless minions do not understand that simple fact.

There is literally a senile moron sitting in our Oval Office - and half of Congress - as well as - House of Representatives.

Mentally-ill & terrorist supporting people are sitting in our seats of high power; and making fantasy decisions that seriously affect our reality: obamanite {judges} that cannot - or will not - define what a woman IS/a biological man prancing around in skirts heads up our national health organization/biological males wearing makeup and dresses serving in our SPECIAL FORCES. Hate-filled, terror supporting, ANTI-American muslim members of OUR CONGRESS, are visiting colleges - openly (proudly filming the interactions) shaking hands of ignorant and arrogant terrorist-leaning {students} screaming for the death of Israelis and Americans!

The senile obamanite puppet in the Oval Office has managed to set the entire world on fire with one foolish disaster after another, that has every thug leader in every 3rd world country sitting on the edge of their seats, itching to press the Red Button … and political games are being played in DC with the obamanite deadheads going after a man who says "the insanity has got to stop".

IF Israel and America go under … there will be NO WHERE ANYONE CAN GO for rescue.

N.O.W.H.E.R.E.

Israel and America are the ONLY PLACES ON EARTH where open-handed help is given to people needing compassionate help.

America IS the ONLY {safe harbor} for the entire WORLD.

And brainless minions do not understand that simple fact.

2 THESSALONIANS ~ Chapter 3/Thursday Bible Study

2 Thessalonians~Chapter 3, deals with *Paul's encouragement in persecution (1); Paul's explanation of the #Day of The Lord (2); and Paul's exhortation to the **Church (3).

This epistle is the theological sequel to 1 Thessalonians, which developed the theme of the Coming Day of The Lord: 1 Thessalonians 5:1 thru 11. However, not long after the Thessalonians had received that letter, they fell prey to false teaching - and sometimes outright deception; thinking the Day of The Lord had already begun. Paul wrote his letter to correct that falsehood, and to encourage those ***Believers whose faith had been tested by the difficulties presented by persecutions. Paul also reproved those who had decided to cease laborious work to sit waiting for the Lord's coming (2 Thessalonians 2:2, 3 & 3:5 thru 6).

*Paul's Encouragement in Persecution - After his 2-verse greeting, Paul gives thanks for the growing faith and love of the Thessalonians, and assures them of their ultimate deliverance from those who are persecuting them (vv 1:3 thru 10). They are encouraged to patiently endure their afflictions, knowing that ****Lord Yeshua will judge their persecutors when He is "revealed from ^Heaven with His mighty ^^angels, in flaming fire" (vv 1:7 & 8). Before Paul moves to the next topic, he concludes this section with a prayer for the spiritual welfare of his readers (vv 1:11 & 12).

*Understanding the Day of The Lord - Because of the severity of their afflictions, the Thessalonians have become susceptible to the false teaching that they were already in the Day of The Lord (vv 2:1 & 2); this was particularly disturbing because Paul's previous letter had given them comforting hope that they were not destined for the wrath of that Day (1 Thessalonians 5:9). Paul therefore assures them that the Day of The Lord is yet in the future, and will not arrive unannounced (vv 2:3 thru 12). Paul then concludes with a word of encouragement and a prayer blessing for comfort, before moving onto his next topic.

*Paul's Exhortation to the Church - (vv 3:1 thru 18): Paul requests that the Thessalonian Church pray on his behalf, and to wait patiently for the Lord (vv 3:1 thru 5). Having thus commended, corrected, and comforted his readers; the tactful Apostle closes his letter with a sharp word of command to those who have using the Truth of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach's return as an excuse for disorderly conduct (vv 3:6 thru 15 = 1 Thessalonians 4:11 & 12). The accurate truth of the Lord's return, requires balance between waiting and working. It is a perspective that should encourage holiness … not idleness.

This final section, like the first two, closes on a blessings note (vv 3:16 thru 18).

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

2 THESSALONIANS ~ Chapter 3

Wait Patiently for Christ

(vv 1 thru 5)

"Finally, brethren, pray for us; that the Word of the Lord may have free (liberate, set loose from restraint or constraint; free implies a permanent removal from whatever binds, confines, entangles, or oppresses) course (connected series of events or actions or developments) and be glorified (to praise or honor *****Elohim to an extreme degree = you might compliment or praise Elohim, but glorifying takes that a step further. When something is glorified, it is praised to the highest degree possible), just as it is with you. And that we shall be delivered from unreasonable (biased based on person whims, contradictory random choices; foolish, illogical, changeable, senseless, silly, stupid, wrong) and wicked (a mental disregard for justice, righteousness, truth, honor, virtue; evil in thought and life; depravity; sinfulness; criminality) men; for not all have Faith (Acts 28:24 & Romans 15:31). But the Lord is faithful - Who will establish (set on a firm or unshakable basis) you and guard (watch over in order to protect against damage or harm) you from ******Lucifer. And we have confidence in the Lord, concerning you - both that you do and will do the things we command (to give an order; to tell someone to do something in an official manner) you (2 Corinthians 7:16). Now may the Lord direct (point in a particular direction or at a particular person) your hearts into the love of Elohim, and into the patience of Yeshua (1 Chronicles 29:18).

Withdraw From the Disorderly

(vv 6 thru 15)

But we command you brethren, in the Name of our Lord Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, that you withdraw (remove yourself from a situation) from every brother/sister who walks disorderly (behavior that causes others to become annoyed, alarmed, offended, causing problems or difficulty, physically injured, or financially harmed) and not according to the doctrine which we gave you (1 Thessalonians 4:11). For you, yourselves, know how you ought to follow us - for we were not disorderly among you; nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with labor (physical, mental, and social effort used to produce goods and services in an economy) and toil (to work hard and long) night after day, that we might not be a burden to any of you (1 Thessalonians 2:9), not because we did not have authority - but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow our teaching (1 Corinthians 9:4 & 6 thru 14). For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: if anyone will not work - neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies (a nosy, meddling person, who's very interested in what other people say and do). Now those who are such, we command and exhort (urge strongly: to give warnings or advice) through our Lord Yeshua that they work in quietness, and eat their own bread (Ephesians 4:28). But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). And if anyone does not obey (comply with the command, direction, or request of; submit to the authority of) our word in this epistle … note that person and do not keep company with him/her, that he/she may be ashamed (Matthew 18:17). Yet do not count him as an enemy (a person who is actively opposed or hostile to someone or something), but admonish (to caution, advise, or counsel against something; to reprove or scold, especially in a mild and good-willed manner) him 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 (greeting) of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle; so I write (1 Corinthians 16:21): the grace 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.

**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."

***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.

****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.

******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).

#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.

^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.

^^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).

LOOSE KABOOSE~Seaview-WA

April 30th: Man! It stormed all night long here, in Long Beach-WA

It has been raining since we arrived from CA … but last night really cut loose: rain that sounded like it had hail in it, and thunder that shook Independence - around 2 AM. I had just went to bed and was getting comfy, when the thunder rolled thru: I thought about recording it for Holland to hear in the morning (I was surprised he was actually snoring thru that!), but I didn't want to wake him up (he was sleeping soundly, but the in-and-out of bed to grab my phone, may have disturbed that) - so, I just lay there listening to the rain and rolling thunder; and being rocked to sleep by the wind gusts.

What a storm.

We had to dump the black tanks today, and that meant that we had to drive into town … and back to set up: doing that after weeks of nonstop rainfall (and last night's riotous downpour) would seriously tear up David's lot, so we decided to move a bit up the road to an RV Park until things dried out enough to get Independence back onto David's lot without damages to his property.

I texted him, so he wouldn't be surprised by our absence if he decided to come down in a week or so.

We're in the back field; and Independence fits nicely ;-)

We utilized the surge bar in case the storm steps things up with lightening.

We'll be here for a month.

After we set up, we backtracked to Seaview to grab a takeout Supper.

The other day when we were there, Holland suggested we try the Loose Kaboose sometime … today was {sometime} ;-)

But before we got there, Holland said as we drove through Long Beach, "There's a house I want you to see - it's weird"; so we drove all the way around the oddity. Holland cracked me up when he quipped, "It looks like someone was smoking doobies - one right after the other - when they started on this thing." And being a contractor in past years, and working with some strange people; he would know ;-)

I was raised a hippie in the 1970's, and come from a family where drugs of every type was used (to the best of my knowledge, no one ever used needle drugs); and can affirm that people do weird things when they smoke weed. I know people who smoke weed will disagree - but, I've seen the weird things people do under the influence of a doobie.

Or two.

Or three …

Getting sidetracked and not knowing when to stop with a project is one of the weird things people will do.

Putting in our Order, & visiting with a few locals ;-)

This little electric train runs along a ceiling track.

Fish and Chips was what we planned on getting, but at the last minute my taste buds were salivating for a fish burger - so I got that instead ;-)

We also saw a "Apple Blossom Ice Cream" advertised on the dry board, so we gave that a whirl, wondering what it could be: it was simply an upside down apple crisp - a big scoop of vanilla ice cream was on the bottom, and a warmed soft tart trimmed with pastry circles topped the ice cream.

Also, while we waited for our order, we chatted with some locals and learned that there used to be a railway that ran through the Peninsula: from the tip, along the shoreline.

So, I did some research when I got home; and I think the Depot Restaurant will be something we'll check out too, while we are here for a while :-)

The 'Apple Blossoms' was just an Apple Crisp topping.

Today was an interesting, busy, and fun Day.
