Trib Updates

 

This is a weekly series that will include a brief summary of the latest articles that have been published on The Tribulation Times Herald-Exhorter.  Hopefully, this will encourage you to go check out some truly outstanding articles that have been published by a number of truly outstanding authors.  Moreover, I hope this will also encourage you to want to become a contributing member/author, as well.  The “Hear Ye!  Hear Ye!” site explanation near the top of the side-bar should answer many of your questions.  Yes, this series also included an “SOS! (Spam On Saturdays)”  segment before, but it just wasn’t working for me.  Therefore, that will be replaced by a republishing of one of the Trib articles. 

[Squinty Whistles Presumed Eaten By Grizzly] brings us news of the untimely demise of a very strange fellow.

[Lavender Darwin Escapes Urology Prison With the Help of Bigfoot!] brings us news of the return of another very strange fellow.

[My Extremely Short Interest in the Music of Anne Murray] lets us know that Lavender Darwin doesn't think much of snowbirds.

[Wayne and Schuster – Some Sharp Comedy] shows that they did some really awful things to Lavender during his captivity.

[More Peter Gabriel/Genesis] has Lavender providing us with something that has helped in his recovery.

[Uncontrollable Facial or Bodily Movements?] goes to prove that Lavender is making a valiant effort to get back to his mojo.

[Evolutionary Science Is Evolving] is from me about a documentary that I found most appalling.

[Fiends With Benefits] provides further proof that Lavender is recovering nicely (much to the detriment of us all).

[Why I Won’t Play Serious Sam 3] shows that Lavender is indeed back.

[Washed Out – You’ll See It] is from Lavender, and I didn’t see it.

[Solzhenitsyn – Voices from the Gulag] has Lavender reminding us of something that we should never forget.

[Pearl Harbor/John Williams] is a reminder of what we have been missing while Lavender was away.

[GoodSearch – Use It!] has Lavender promoting a charitable search engine.

[Solar Flares and/or EMPs Wiping Out the World’s Power Grids!!!] has Lavender encouraging us to watch as much television as we can while we still can.

Watch Churchill's Deadly Decision on PBS. See more from SECRETS OF THE DEAD.

I started to cringe within the first few seconds of the start of this program, and that grew to almost seizure-like proportions by the end.  For I hate the fact that [President Roosevelt] placed [Prime Minister Churchill] in such an untenable position, which was undoubtedly in the hope of appeasing very selfish [Republican] interests in order to keep his [New Deal] alive.  I also hate the fact that the French were not more cooperative, along with [where] their sovereign pride got them.

Come Monday...May We Learn And Remember

“Come Monday…” is a weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about, websites, movies, documentaries, television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time. Be assured that these reviews will be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.” This is subject to change, however. In fact, I would be most derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while. For rants promote change, and change can be good—right? Therefore, since good is generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).

While watching a broadcast of the trip that several [College of the Ozarks] students made with some American veterans to [Normandy] to commemorate the 65th anniversary of [D-Day], I found myself being filled with a very potent mixture of rage and anguish. For a great deal of the suffering that the survivors have had to endure has been unnecessary.

No, this is not to suggest that their participation in [World War II] was nothing to be upset about. For there should be no doubts about the horrors they witnessed, but even after all of these years, there was no indication given that anyone who went on that trip understood what is going on.

Yeah, if you have been paying any attention to what I have said about my past here and there, I cannot naturally blame you a bit for thinking that I have some nerve. For I failed to even just complete basic training—let along distinguish myself on the battlefield, but what I have been given to say here has nothing to do with that. For everything that we experience in this world is meant to show us something that our Heavenly Father wants us to see, and all who have seen combat should have no doubts about the fact that there is more going on in this world than what naturally comes to meet our physical sight, with the end of that road leading to a very close and personal relationship with Him.

No, the show did not seek to address anything of the sort, but it should have been clear to all who are not Spiritually blind and deaf. For all of the veterans were rather reluctant to talk about their experiences during the war, and the main reason given was because of all of the death they had witnessed.

Hence, a clear indication of the fact that they do not look upon our lives in this world as being meant to be temporary. More importantly, a clear indication of the fact that they do not recognize the absolute truth of the matter being that no one can physically die unless our Heavenly Father wants them to, and that their death marks the end of their pain and suffering in this world—regardless of where they are destined to be spend all of eternity, which is something that we are not to judge.

There is, of course, another side to that story. For when we physically die, we leave loved ones behind, who suffer loss on account of our passing, but is it not true that those who live on are generally considered to be more blessed—even in the eyes of the Christian community?

Alas, I realize that I have a twisted way of looking at life in this world. For I have lived a fairly miserable life to date, and I naturally consider it to be of no great value. Subsequently, I really do long for it end much sooner than later.

Woe is me. For by thinking in such a way as that, I contradict what our Heavenly Father actually says is absolutely true. For if it is indeed true that everything I have experienced has been for the purpose of showing me something that He wants me to see, how can I righteously consider my life in this world to be of no great value?

No, this has not been an easy piece to write. For I know that most will recoil in horror over daring to say anything negative about those who fought for our freedom during World War II. After all, are they not called our greatest generation, but is this indeed true?

In all fairness, it may not be their fault that they still cannot Spiritually see, nor hear. For it all depends upon what our Heavenly Father wants to accomplish in and through someone that determines when (and to what extent) He will allow and enable them to see and hear what He wants them to, and it may very well be that the ones on that show have not been allowed and enabled to see and hear yet. In fact, many will never be required to see and hear all that much in this world.

Be assured that I hope that I have not been deceived about that. For my own dad refused to talk about landing on Omaha Beach with the [US Army 1st Infantry Division] in the second wave to come ashore on June 6, 1944, and he never gave any indication that he understood as he could have.

In far too many cases, however, the absolute truth of the matter truly is that it is really just a rhetorical question when someone cries out, “What is going on?” For they have no expectation of ever understanding, and when our Heavenly Father answers them, they dismiss it as being just a stupid thought that came out of nowhere.
