I would lease a little retail office space in a little strip mall in a fairly populated area where there's a bus stop and lots of people who take the bus and a few panhandlers and no-account drifters hanging around along with a hustle and bustle of working stiffs buzzing around going in and out of the grocery store and the sandwich shops.  I would hang up a sign that says Jesus Name Help Center and another sign that says welcome.  When the first person walks through the door I would say hello welcome please turn that sign around so it says helping someone please wait until this person leaves before coming in. Then I would have the person sit down in a nice comfortable chair and offer them a hot coffee or a cold drink and something to eat.  Then I would listen to their tale of woe.  At that point I would recommend the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace program and try to help them with their budgeting and saving and recommend that they try to work on a plan to improve their employment stat

I  don't know if John Bunyan played chess or not.  But he did have a dream.  And his dream was about Jesus Christ and getting to heaven.  Good book so far.  Printed in Philadelphia in 1878 by the publisher who started the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper.  Harding I think was his name.  Second most read book in human history next to the bible.  Recommended by Pastor Tony Spell.  I'm also plowing through the book of Numbers while listening to Pastor Murray cover the chapters on audio to help to soften up the ground. So in business you have to outwork your opponent.  It's pretty plain and simple.  You work so hard the competition falls by the wayside.  Now you just have to decide what game you want to play.  If you choose to play chess you will have some serious competition.  But I like the masters who say they never play to win but only to learn.  If they win that is nice but to learn and become better is the way to approach the game.  And John Bunyan and Pastor Spell will te

Merle Haggard's train finally came in and it has left the station.  Mine's due to arrive in twenty to thirty years if I'm lucky and possibly two and half weeks if I were to have a stroke tomorrow but odds are and if I were a betting man I would say I've got a good ten years of writing left in me.  If I write something every day for the next ten years I win the bet.  It's not love, but it's not bad. Reading John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress.  Incredible read.  And such a joy to be holding an 1878 copy of his great works.  Somebody wrote in handwriting on the inside cover a gift from so and so and then wrote the date, 1878.  Over 100 years ago a man wrote on the inside cover of the book that I am reading today in 2023.  I suppose this would seem like a far off land to that man.  I like going back in time with a book like that.  And there may be not other book like that one. For one thing it is they say the second most read book in the history of man nex

That's what we should all be doing.  Doing God's work.  Am I doing God's work?  Pastor Murray says you better hope so or you can forget about having any success.  So I guess it comes down to how he calls you.  If he calls a man to be a Lutheran preacher then God bless him.  And then you come to the church splits.  And schisms.  But this is what the devil wants.  The old deceiver. But Pastor Murray says to keep your chin up and keep punchin' through it all.  I like all the preachers who are preaching the good word.  Bring somebody to Jesus and then let the rest between Jesus and him.   Looks like we're heading in to World War III The Big One.  Archie Bunker used to call WW II the big one.  He may not have seen anything.  But he'll be coming back with Jesus.  I think Archie made it through.  We sure know Edith did.  Pastor Murray says if you believe in God and put in the work, God will supply the bricks.  And there's the biggest word in the dictionary again, i

Pastor Murray says you are never wasting your time when you are reading and studying the bible.  Probably everything else is  a waste of time.  But the bible says you have to be a doer as well as a hearer.  So I will do this blog and mention the name of Jesus every time I get a chance.  Pastor Spell says lead, follow, or get out of the way. Could you imagine waking up one morning and whoever you are following had no word for you.  Well it seems that Bob Schulz has no word this morning for anybody who is following him today.  I'll bet you a hundred dollars that Coach Prime has a word for his players today.  It's not going to be easy playing against Nebraska, TCU, CSU, and the other boys who like to play football too. That's the great thing about the game of football.  The competition.  Small business and big business and government and even preaching comes down to competition.  Seems like the boys from back east are going after the old man from out west.  Jonathan and Teddy

God is not the author of confusion, but of peace of mind.  Peace of mind and joy of heart.  If you  have these along with food  clothing and shelter and especially because I  know of no other existence if you are living in the united States  of America and I  would say if you are white although Coach Prime has a lot more money than I  do not to say he didn't work hard for it and overcome through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul would always start out his letters with something like Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God.  Could you imagine your words inspiring young and old alike, two thousand years later, black and white alike, and let's not forget the latinos and the asians.  If war is to come, let it be in my time.  But war in 2023 might look a  little bit different than war in 1917 or 1864.  In fact we are at war here in 2023.  The main  weapon is the propaganda machine. And only by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ am I able to sit he

It seems to me that any good leader would post a daily report for anybody who is following him.  General Lee for example.  Imagine if he were alive today and we were in the middle of a civil war.  Every single living soul in the Confederacy would want to immediately know what General Lee was thinking the first thing in the morning when they wake up. Look at America or anywhere in the world for that matter.  People work all day, or most of them do, and it seems to be getting less and less all the time as we move towards socialistic and communistic babylonian captivity for not repenting of our sins, and I am a good case in point of that and I thank God for all of my blessings today, but people work all day until they are tired and then they go to sleep.  They sleep for eight hours and then they wake up to go back to work.   Now during the course of this eight hours, things happen.  And the first thing the man wants to know is what happened while I was sleeping.  So in days past he would

It's good to have a big goal.  It gives you a reason to get up and get to work each day.  Coach Prime is looking for a national championship in Boulder, Colorado.  He preaches Jesus and now I guess he's up against the wokies in Boulder for having a Christian prayer with his team.  So this will be interesting.  Coach Prime says he's all about the kids and Jonathan Shuttlesworth would tell him if those kids don't get Jesus then they don't get to heaven.   I guess getting to heaven should be the goal of every child that God brings into this earth age.  We all know those who have done gone on.  What was their big goal?  Did they achieve their big goal?  Well it seems we can have many big goals.  Some need to be attained before we reach a certain age.  For example Coach Prime once had a  big goal of playing in the NFL.  Well you better check that one off before you reach age 26 or you can probably scracth that one off the list. But if your biggest of big goals is to get

Business is key.  Small business.  The backbone and the salt of America.  And the church is the only business  worth working on.  Either that or raising boys  and girls in church while you work your business in order for them to go on and do the same in an even greater manner.  The rich hand their money down to their kids and their kids learn critical race theory and equality and communism and socialism while the beast sucks you dry of every penny from the other end. On the other hand as opposed to Harvard and Yale and unfortunately probably the University of Pennsylvania,  small business is the exact opposite of what they teach there.  But I  suppose without the big businesses like Cisco and T-Mobile and Facebook and Google who owns my blog here and decides if the words I write will be allowed to be published or not are. But yet here we are with Dave Ramsey and Del Walmsley and Preston James and Ann Wilson and the list goes on and on of finacial success goo-roos who appear to be livin

Coach  Prime is  going for the national championship and I  am  working right along with him to make $1M per month.  I've got 5 years on the coach and he's got about $10M lead on me but praise the Lord every day is a  good day to praise the Lord.  Read the bible and write out checks to those less fortunate.  Work on your business.  Read good books, play some chess, play guitar, sing gospel tunes praise the Lord and work on your business. Now if you're a  man and you find a  woman to do it with then praise the Lord even more.  Watch good preachers on TV.  And  like pastor Jonathan in his service from Washington DC last night I like to say the word TV.  I think pastor Shuttlesworth is I'm thinking 10 years younger than Coach Prime.  They both love Jesus and Jesus loves both of them I  believe.  And Jesus loves Zach Hubbard and Conspiracy Joey and I would  guess that he even loves Damar Hamlin. Joey says they will trot DH out for the coin toss on Sunday.  Says he sees it i

There's so many goo-roos out there you will never get to all of them.  Probably be lucky if you even ever have time for only one of them.  Best make it Jesus Christ.  He is  not a goo-roo or maybe he is the goo-roo of all goo-roos even though the term can be construed as a derogatory dig.  But what is all the money in the world if you are not happy and if you do not have joy and peace of mind?  Gain the world but lose your soul.  Store up treasures in heaven.  Give me one drop of water the rich man cried from hell. So if God has positioned you with some money you probably best be giving a lot of it away if not all of it.  Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne says to give 90% and live on the tithe.  He gives 90% to Rodney Howard-Browne ministries.  And Rodney Howard-Browne ministries gives millions to other churches all across the world.  A  poor white African American boy who came to the united States as a missionary with his wife and kids and a couple of suitcases. Quite a remarkable story

I wonder where Coach Prime goes to church.  I don't go to church.  I work on Sunday mornings.  Maybe that's why Coach Prime likes coaching college because they play on Saturday, the Sabbath day.  Pastor Murray says when you're watching him on TV you're in church.  I guess I belong to a radio ministry.  J. Vernon McGee could tell you a little bit about that. I guess on the one hand, as Zietevfe on Fiddler on the Roof would say, on the one hand it doesn't matter and on the other hand it does matter.  People are kind of like molecules.  There is attraction and repulsion to both extremes adding up to somewhere in the middle.  The good white folks of Boulder, Colorado are following the lead of Athletics Director Rick George who has been there since a young man and now is an old man trying to get another old man a black man to get him a  national championship. It takes a  program in college football.  You  better have all your pieces parts if you think you're going to
