Now more than ever women of God need to be women based on Scripture and not man's opinion. There is no shame in living a simpler lifestyle. There is no shame, or should not be, in living as a virtuous Titus 2 woman. There are blessings associated with living a God fearing, God respecting), life.
NETTIE-ISM: Yeshua never took a vacation, nor did the Apostles.
Matthew 12:40 (KJV)
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
We can never work as hard as Yeshua yet we give ourselves treats as if we deserve them. We take breaks, we look for benefits and blessings as if by virtue of our existence we are entitled to them.
Regular church attendance and financial giving are indicative of being worthy of the good things in life. The fact that we confessed “Jesus is Lord” and was fully immersed in water proves that we are Christians in good standing.
All of these things we do because we can but we deserve nothing. We cannot earn anything, there is not enough penitence. BUT GOD!
ISAIAH 53:4-9 THE VOICE Yet it was our suffering he carried, our pain and distress, our sick-to-the-soul-ness. We just figured that God had rejected him, that God was the reason he hurt so badly. But he was hurt because of us; he suffered so. Our wrongdoing wounded and crushed him. He endured the breaking that made us whole. The injuries he suffered became our healing. We all have wandered off, like shepherdless sheep, scattered by our aimless striving and endless pursuits; The Eternal One laid on him, this silent sufferer, the sins of us all. And in the face of such oppression and suffering—silence. Not a word of protest, not a finger raised to stop it. Like a sheep to a shearing, like a lamb to be slaughtered, he went—oh so quietly, oh so willingly. Oppressed and condemned, he was taken away. From this generation, who was there to complain? Who was there to cry “Foul”? He was, after all, cut off from the land of the living, smacked and struck, not on his account, because of how my people (my people!) disregarded the lines between right and wrong. They snuffed out his life. And when he was dead, he was buried with the disgraced in borrowed space (among the rich), even though he did no wrong by word or deed.
When Yeshua went away for a few days it was to help others not Himself, it was to redeem the world.
Vacations are great, if you can take one that is truly wonderful. The real blessing: we are not getting what we deserve but what He gave.
JOHN 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

NETTIE’S DREAM: They left because the church rejected them.
I dreamed, after getting permission from the church leader, I met with a group of people. We sat at desk, the kind they have in classrooms, in a square. After a while the church leader and the members came in and began serving the group food, they did not ask for food and many did not eat it. The church members began collecting the uneaten food and left, I could tell the church leader was not pleased with the decision to let my group meet in the church. I informed the group that we would no longer be meeting in this church and suggested we give the church leader a thank you card with a few dollars in it. One by one the people in the group began to leave. Each of these individuals stated in their own way according to their sin that they were going back to their sinful lifestyle.
INTERPRETATION: The dream begins with a group of people who lived sinful lifestyles gathering in a church. A square has four corners- the meeting was in the natural nothing religious about it. Each person was sitting at a school desk learning.
The church brought food to the people but they would not eat it so they took it away. The church rejected the sinners because they did not see the conversion to Christiandom. The church did not see that each man and woman was learning according to his or her need. The church did not understand that by meeting in the church the sinners were making the first step. The sinners rejected the food because it was not what they needed.
The church leader, by action, chose not to want to reach out to the sinners. The church leader and the church expected the sinners to come to them and eat whatever they chose to feed them.
The sinners had already changed they sinned no more. The sinners were gathering to encourage each other and talk about how to get rid of the thoughts and behaviors of their sinful life that they were once a part of. Upon seeing that the church was not going to help them make the transition but wanted them to act like they had, the sinners left.
Mark 2:16-17 (KJV) And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
COMMENTARY: There are two places in which Yeshua Hamasiach shared the word. He spoke in the Temple to Believers. And He went to the people. Yeshua did not bring food to the sinners he ate what they ate and ministered according to their needs.
John 4:9 (KJV) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Yeshua ministered one on one. He went where the sinner was, He did not wait for the sinner to come to Him. The people He met with were not welcome in the Temple.
Today’s churches are filled with all kinds of attractions. The service is short, the music is loud with many references to faith, the message is short, snazzy, and filled with nuggets BUT PEOPLE LEAVE PERHAPS A LITTLE CHANGED. We know that there is no significant change in the church because Christians:
Are getting divorced
Children are getting pregnant out of wedlock
Are committing adultery
Are having abortions
Are active homosexuals
Also gossip, steal from their job, cheat on their taxes, and put political ideology ahead of their faith.
There are a growing number of churches that reject the sugar coatings found in mega-churches and actively seek the word. These churches isolate themselves from the world. They keep their knowledge to themselves anyone ‘visiting’ must either embrace their teachings without question or the welcome mat will be pulled out from under them- this is not what they think they do but it is what they do.
Yeshua wants the people to come to Him after the church goes….
Mark 16:15-16 (KJV) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

I don’t know what I can add to what was already said. The bottom line is I do not support reparations. Reparations by definition is compensation for insult or injury, Black people have done more harm to themselves than slavery has ever done.
The survival of the Black man and woman in 2019 is a testimony to our strength despite being brought to a land against our wishes. This bondage was facilitated by tribes in Africa who profited from the sale of those they captured; in other words Black people sold Black people to many people including to White men who were traveling to the New World.
In my limited study of history, which is far greater than many who argue for reparations, I have discovered great success of Black people despite the behavior of slave owners.
According to 1860 Census, which my liberal friends now want to deny, less than 50% of the White FAMILIES actually owned slaves.
MISSISSIPPI 49%
SOUTH CAROLINA 46%
GEORGIA 37%
ALABAMA 35%
FLORIDA 34%
LOUISIANA 29%
TEXAS 28%
NORTH CAROLINA 28%
VIRGINIA 26%
TENNESSEE 25%
KENTUCKY 23%
ARKANSAS 20%
MISSOURI 13%
MARYLAND 12%
DELAWARE 3%
At the time of the 1860 census there were 33 states yet 15 were slave states. Even in Mississippi 51% of the White Families did not own slaves. If you listen to people ignorant of the truth a person would believe every White person in the 1800’s owned slaves. And every female slave was raped by old white men.
When Barak Hussein Obama was elected President in 2008 he also had a house majority; there was both a Democrat controlled House of Representative and a Democrat controlled Senate. This meant If the Democrats really wanted to give Black people reparations they could have easily did so then.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a.k.a. The Stimulus package cost the nation over 700 billion dollars yet none of that money went for reparations. Democrats really do not want to give Black people money.
The Democrat party needs Black people dependent on them. Small government handouts have been working for decades. The promotion of physical pleasures, immediate gratification and the ability to blame someone else for the problems in the Black community has assisted both White and Black politicians to become multi-millionaires. They do not want Black people independent of them.
As long as Black people are looking back they will never see what is in front of them.
They don’t have because they do not work.
They are not working because they do not have the knowledge.
They do not have the knowledge because they have not been paying attention to the people they have been voting for.
The people they have been voting for have been taking the good and giving them the left overs. But they always promise to do better tomorrow.
Black people cannot see tomorrow because they do not realize yesterday is gone.
Instead of looking for the government to give us something each person must begin the process of fixing himself, herself. Each person must educate himself. If Black men stopped killing each other and Black women stopped killing their babies and began the process of restoring the family change would come. Each person must put his own house in order and then help his neighbor do the same. Black people need to stop voting skin pigment and political affiliation and vote for those people who want to make families great again.
As slaves, families may have been divided but the family concept was in tact. Education may have been forbidden but the slaves found ways to learn.
If those who keep looking back would look a little deeper they would discover Black men and women who achieved greatness despite the prejudice that existed.
Mary Ellen Pleasant owned a chain of boarding houses during the 1840’s
William Alexander Leidesdorff had an import export business during the 1840’s (he died in1848)
Sarah Breedlove better known as Madam C J Walker (December 23, 1867 – May 25, 1919) famous for her hair care products
Hiram Rhodes Revels was the first Black man to be elected to Congress in 1870, a Republican stopped by the Democrats.
And of course Fredrick Douglass and George Washington Carver achieved greatness without reparations both very intelligent educated men.
America has greatness in its’ roots Liberals want to chop down the fruit thereof and build monuments of division.
The bottom line is this: The Democrats will talk about reparations but they will never give Black people one dime because they don’t have to. written by Marsha L F Randolph

NETTIE-OLOGY: There is a direct link to a person’s faith in Scripture and their political ideology. Faith based on tradition, for people loyal to their political ideology, has become the glue that sticks them to false wisdom.
You cannot be a loyal Democrat and believe Scripture, not even a loyal moderate Democrat. I do not know any Democrat who incorporates YHWH’s word to guide them when they vote, they vote party line. You cannot be loyal to any political group and believe Scripture is the infallible word of YHWH.
I know many Conservatives who are not sure about their faith but believe the Bible is His, GOD’s, word so they vote based on issues according to their faith. We refer to ourselves as Christian Conservatives.
Not every Conservative was raised a Conservative, many had a period of awakening. A time of political understanding based on what was written in the Word. The greater a person’s Bible understanding becomes the less inclined he or she is to vote for individuals who align themselves with anti-Christ policies.
It is difficult for Black people to go against political traditions because they are so ingrained in the African-American church. So why are so many people of color supporting a White male that Democrats say hates Black people?
Because Democrat policies go against Scripture. Liberals, who lead the Democrat party, support so many issues that Scripture teaches are not pleasing to our Creator. They have forced the Believer to choose sides. This is evident when people see that not only are Black people leaving the Democrat Party but they are also leaving traditional Black Churches.
Black history is one filled with faith and family. The family has been destroyed as a direct result in believing in lies. The lies came not only from the politicians but from the pulpit as well. For many things were not adding up, they did not make sense.
Scripture is clear about such issues as: Premarital sex, homosexuality, abortion, and even husbands caring for their family. Yet, from to many pulpits the church was: ignoring the sexual sins of the church, encouraging women to get government assistance, and allowing known homosexuals to serve in various positions.
When Hilary Clinton went to a Black church and spoke with a southern accent in order to relate and in an interview talked about carrying her hot sauce, she did more to help Black people leave the traditional church and the Democrat party than many realize. She confirmed what many non-believers were saying: The church just wants your money and the politician just wants your vote. Has she been back to that church since she lost the election? Has she done another interview?
The only thing President Donald J Trump said was: You have tried everything else, vote for me and see. Many Black people did not vote for him BUT now they see.
They saw Obama highlight the White House in rainbow colors in honor of homosexuals and President Trump say no.
They see Democrats support abortions up to birth and Trump not support it.
Obama had an anti-Israel position. Israel just named a town after President Trump.
President Clinton denied committing adultery but was impeached because it was a lie, he committed adultery in the White House as President of the United States. President Trump committed adultery before he became President and has not despite attempts to prove otherwise since he has been married to Melania.
These are moral issues. Democrats are quick to accuse Republicans of immoral acts that they themselves are committing. There will always be Black people loyal to the Democrat party because there will always be people of every skin color who do not want to think for themselves.
I left a denominational church and became a part of a church that taught the truth of YHWH’s word and encourage personal Bible study. Many people I know gave up on traditional church all together and began studying the word on their own. We learned neither the church leader or the government are god. This understanding is the beginning of a persons’ awakening and why those who cling to their traditional Black church will have a difficult time separating themselves from a party that has a history of oppressing Black people. -written by Marsha L F Randolph

YHWH’S WORD: You cannot move forward until you face the truth!
You have reached a point in which, in order for you to move forward you have to deal what is before you. Your tendency has been to escape- sex, drugs, alcohol, shopping and even church. STOP!
Deal with it! Face it! Swallow your pride and admit your contribution to the situation. Trust Him to lead you through this valley and He will lead you to peace.
PSALM 23 A psalm of David:
Adonai is my shepherd; I lack nothing. He has me lie down in grassy pastures, he leads me by quiet water, he restores my inner person. He guides me in right paths for the sake of his own name. Even if I pass through death-dark ravines, I will fear no disaster; for you are with me; your rod and staff reassure me. You prepare a table for me, even as my enemies watch; you anoint my head with oil from an overflowing cup. Goodness and grace will pursue me every day of my life; and I will live in the house of Adonai for years and years to come.

NETTIE-ISM: Once upon a time worship songs worshiped YHWH now they seem to be: thank you for the stuff songs.
In the manuscript I am currently writing the family sings an old song. A song from the underground railroad, full of meaning. Back in the day many songs were sang a-cappella. I suspect it was not as harmonious as the movies make them out to be but it was probably more heartfelt.
Many of the songs for worshiping YHWH today are very similar to the secular songs of today. But even some of the classic “Black Gospel” leave something to be desired.
I got away from traditional church worship (in the traditional Black Church) decades ago. The songs made me feel so helpless and hopeless and reminded me of my struggles. And, the songs did not agree with the word of YHWH.
Then people started giving YHWH praise. The tempo of the songs increased as the accompanying instruments became more sophisticated. There was one song about getting stuff: “I went to the enemies camp and took back what he stole from me.” The song was very popular and I loved to sing it until I realized that it was not me but Yeshua that defeated the enemy.
Now, there are some great songs out there. But the problem now is time, many churches have a set amount of minutes dedicated to singing no matter how great the song is.
Classic praise and worship, before the church pews were comfortable and the word was politically incorrect, in fact it was before the church was a church, celebrated YHWH’s goodness, his strengths and His assistance in giving us what we needed- not wanted. (See Exodus 15:1-18 below)
1 CHRONICLES 16:9 (KJV) Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
When we sing praises we should be celebrating Elohim not trying to compete with the church down the street.
Many call the fast songs praise and the slow songs worship. Why? Worship is more than a song; it is a state of mind. Worship is more than giving money; it is giving yourself.
John 4:22-24 (KJV) Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
We are created in the image and likeness of Elohim time and money are irrelevant to Him. True worship has no time clock. True worship has nothing to do with how much money you give or do not give. If you spend 45 minutes or four hours in church as long as there are other things to do you are not really in an atmosphere of worship.
REVELATION 4:8-11 (KJV) And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Had I not witnessed it I could not have declared it. I have been in a place in which there was worship so much so that nothing else could be done. When you have worshiped like that you understand what praise is all about. written by Marsha L F Randolph

EXODUS 15:1-18
“I will sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!
The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and I will praise Him;
My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
The Lord is a man of war;
The Lord is His name.
Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;
His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
The depths have covered them;
They sank to the bottom like a stone.
“Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;
Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.
And in the greatness of Your excellence
You have overthrown those who rose against You;
You sent forth Your wrath;
It consumed them like stubble.
And with the blast of Your nostrils
The waters were gathered together;
The floods stood upright like a heap;
The depths congealed in the heart of the sea.
The enemy said, ‘I will pursue,
I will overtake,
I will divide the spoil;
My desire shall be satisfied on them.
I will draw my sword,
My hand shall destroy them.’
You blew with Your wind,
The sea covered them;
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
“Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like You, glorious in holiness,
Fearful in praises, doing wonders?
You stretched out Your right hand;
The earth swallowed them.
You in Your mercy have led forth
The people whom You have redeemed;
You have guided them in Your strength
To Your holy habitation.
“The people will hear and be afraid;
Sorrow will take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed;
The mighty men of Moab,
Trembling will take hold of them;
All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.
Fear and dread will fall on them;
By the greatness of Your arm
They will be as still as a stone,
Till Your people pass over, O Lord,
Till the people pass over
Whom You have purchased.
You will bring them in and plant them
In the mountain of Your inheritance,
In the place, O Lord, which You have made
For Your own dwelling,
The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.
NETTIE-ISM: If you believe it is a woman’s right to kill a child then you cannot demand child support.
I firmly believe a child in the womb is not part of a woman’s body. The fact that a child in the womb and the mother can have different blood types validates my belief.
I believe the second a woman allows a man to enter her body she gives up the right to choose what happens to it. If he plants seed, sperm, in her body then whatever grows becomes theirs.
There are reports that a baby feels pain during the process of an abortion. A baby’s heart beat is detectable around four weeks gestation. We also know that a baby inside the womb responds to voices, music and other sounds. There are stages of development: embryo and fetus, but what lives in the womb is still a human- a baby.
The Democrat party has a very liberal leadership thus those who support the party support liberalism. Liberals believe that it is a woman’s right to have or not have a baby, they are correct. It is not, however, a woman’s right to kill a baby. A woman’s options end when she decides to have sexual intercourse. Liberalism supports sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility.
Scripture teaches that children come from Creator GOD. YHWH knows before the woman knows that a human is coming into this world. If a person considers himself or herself a Bible definition of Christian then you cannot support a woman’s right to choose an abortion.
But, for those who insist on killing the unborn then stop demanding child support. Child support is equal to blackmail when you are pro-choice. Child support is extortion if the money is given to a woman who is pro-choice. If a woman becomes pregnant and determines that the man does not have any say in regards to her aborting or keeping the baby then she absolutely must allow the man the CHOICE to either financially support or not support the child.
For those who do not believe in abortion but support those who do, your pro-choice ideology means you should not be demanding child support either. written by Marsha L F Randolph

It is true that there is a greater emphasis on Mother’s Day than Father’s Day and much of that is the fault of fathers. Many fathers have distance themselves from the day to day interactions of raising children and thus to many children fathers are an after mention. Many children go to mom when there is a need thus mom is celebrated and dad is acknowledge.
Liberalism has devalued the importance of two parent heterosexual households. I challenge every woman who believes she is both mother and father to her children. She is not; a woman cannot raise a man she can only raise sons. A woman cannot show a daughter how a man should treat her, by example, she only demonstrates how to choose a man that may or may not be right for her. The promotion of trans-genders as a valid lifestyle is further evidence of the devaluation of the alpha male father in the home.
There are fathers out there who go above and beyond modern day expectations of fatherhood, I refer to these men as daddy’s. Girls love their daddy’s and boys love their dad, because dad or daddy is there whenever he is needed for whatever the need.
When a child needs advice he or she can go to dad even if mom is right there. They see mom go to him for solutions so quite naturally they know he has all the answers. Amazingly, children who grow up in a single family home in which mom is the head of the house can also go to dad, if his importance is not diminished.
Fathers are a reflection of our heavenly Father. We cry out Abba Father (Galatians 4:6) and He hears us. We cry daddy and he hears us.
Dad’s do more than put a roof over a child’s head and clothes on the child’s back. Dad’s help with homework, give advice on friends, and correct a child when he or she does something wrong. Dad’s give unconditional love.
I am not a fan of man made days to acknowledge parents but I do believe we should give honor where honor is due. Father’s Day has become an excuse for companies to sell “manly” things like power tools and trucks just like Mother’s Day is a big day for restaurants. Buy the stuff when you see it not because of the “day”.
Not everyone’s father made it to the “day”, we need to appreciate the days. The Bible teaches we are to honor our father and mother without giving a specific day to do so, it is safe to believe that this is an everyday activity.
Finally, there are men out there who choose to be fathers not because they donated sperm but because they embraced the children of the woman they love and became step-dad. There are men who decided to become foster dads and even adoptive dads, they chose to be a father. These men knew exactly what they were getting into and it is not easy to be the father in a ready made family.
Man can claim the title father but not every man is a dad.

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION: Either you are going to give yourself what you think you deserve or you are going to allow YHWH to bless you.
GENESIS 12:2 (KJV) And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Elohim does not give us what we deserve, He gives us what we need so that we can give to others what they need. You are given gifts in the form of skills, money or possibly material items not just for you to have but, in many instances, for you to share.
Some people think they should get whatever it is they want right away because they deserve it now. Christians justify getting stuff because of what they have done: “I worked hard”, “I gave tithes and offerings”, I went on a missions trip”, “I did a good deed”, and so forth. This is a self-centered value.
HEBREWS 11:6 (KJV) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
It does not take faith to bless yourself. It takes faith to wait for YHWH to answer your prayer especially when people around you are: going on vacations, getting new cars, and doing all those things you would like to do someday.
Elohim blesses without the stress of debt. Elohim gives you what you don’t deserve because of Yeshua Hamashiach. Yeshua has taken away our grief and sorrows; He has endured the punishment for our transgressions and iniquities; He received the disrespect, ridicule and punishment for our belief, and he even took on our diseases so that we are now healed. Yeshua gave us peace that surpasses the confusion and stressors of this world. But for many this does not seem to be enough. Yeshua also said:
MATTHEW 7:7-8 (KJV) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
I suspect that many people just don’t want to wait so they do things on their own. Many Christians give themselves what they think they deserve turning their backs on the blessings of Elohim. There is a difference between getting what you think you deserve and being blessed by Yehovah Elohim.
There are those who boldly declare: “I am blessed and highly favored,” but the fruit in their lives reveals they are getting what they deserve not what He wills. Wait for the blessings!

Isaiah 53:4-6 (KJV)
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

I do not expect the truth from either FOX NEWS or any of the liberal news networks. There are those times in which FOX will present facts that are subject to the hearers interpretation however even this network dedicates quite a bit of time presenting a particular viewpoint, moderate or conservative. What I do not want, and therefore do not watch such networks as CNN or MSNBC, is hyperbole, innuendos and straight out lies.
In the past few years I have discovered the world of YouTube personalities. There are individuals who are very passionate about what they do and what they believe and are willing to share their knowledge and opinions with others, myself included (NETTIE F R).
Today I was watching a video by JERICHO GREEN, the first video I ever watched of his was filled with truths BUT his language took me aback. After watching another video of his I “liked, subscribed, hit the notification button and shared”. Many of my Facebook friends will find his frequent uses of the “f” word offensive but for those who listen they will be impressed with his knowledge.
Even though I know quite a few Christians who drink alcoholic beverages and smoke cigarettes, a few cigar smokers, many do it in the privacy of their own home. I listen to LEEMACK912 a cigar reviewer who also shares his wisdom on the things of this world. Leander McClain is a Christian, he does not wear his faith in a nice little bow on top of his head but as I have noticed, through his conversations, over the months I have been listening to him, he lives his faith. I appreciate his conversations on cigars, eagerly listen to what he is pairing with it AND appreciate the wisdom he presents as he smokes, drinks and “conversates”.
Had I not been researching gardening I would have never come across the other 130 plus channels I subscribe to; no, I do not watch all of them all the time! It is such homesteaders as Doug and Stacy a couple that is 100% off grid in their life style: OFF GRID WITH DOUG AND STACY and have demonstrated that you can live a simple yet comfortable life without all the bells and whistles. AND THEY MAKE MONEY!
Perhaps it is my personality, I do not like traditional anything. I like obtaining the facts and coming to my own conclusions thus of the few Bible based channels I probably check out THE BIBLE PROJECT more than any other channel. The Bible Project gives a quick usually 5 minutes or less, over view of all things Bible including each book within and various doctrine related topics such as “Heaven and Earth”.
It is quite natural for me to view programs like THE FIVE, HANNITY and even FOX & FRIENDS via YouTube. (Did I mention- I don’t have cable television). I can also watch all things White House related, Congress related and state related on YouTube; today many networks now use Facebook live.
Recently I have discovered PATRICIA DIXON, when she speaks she 1) encourages the listener to do their own research 2) presents information with a common sense approach and 3) does not insult the intelligence of the hearer. Her conversations are what I and others need to have and I enjoy listening.
There are two other channels I watch that are more lenghthy but very informative. TOWNSENDS a historical channel that shares the life and times of individuals who lived during the 18th century. And JESSE LEE PETERSON, a man of faith who has a desire to-restore families by rebuilding the man.
When I listen to these channels I am better able to develop a better perspective of what is actually happening. As Solomon said: There is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9), therefor, when I hear about what is happening today and study Scripture. I see the motivating force behind the lies spewed by liberal media and self-centered politicians. Though the terms some of the people I listen to are not government or religiously censored I really don’t care- truth is truth.
