Europe, Africa, and Asia

Individual Freedom - Individual Responsibility. Combat Veteran and Defender of the Oppressed. As the empire collapses, civility dies. Stay fit or die early. Lately, I’ve come to realize that our time is too precious to waste on people who haven’t made an effort to become reasonably well informed and possess a mature and practical outlook.
I am an older gentleman now in retirement. I have paid my dues to the thieves in suits and hope that I can survive my remaining years while retaining whatever human(e)ity I have left. I don't take vaccines or meds and have not seen a Doctor in over 20 years and surprise, surprise, I am still very much alive and kicking.

My first calling was as a musician and songwriter...I was fortunate enough to have a good run...Some songs from a friend of mine you never heard but might like...

Friend of mine once told me this lyric should be stitched on a pillow:
"I believe that life is for living and love is the axis on which we turn
We bare our souls till all is forgiven
and clothe ourselves with the lessons learned"

A favorite quote from a favorite author:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
...and one I saw on a studio wall in Nashville:
“Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.”
― Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
OK...one more...
“A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Friday

Truth Bytes...cutting to the heart of the matter
Searching for the truth is not an idle occupation, rather it is the essence of everything. Without truth we are just living a fantasy, without vision or hope.
The scriptures claim to be “the truth” the true reality. So let’s explore some biblical truths that will bring meaning to our lives, a sense of purpose to what we see and experience, and guidance along the path that leads through the hills and valleys of life.
Truth is that two-edged sword...it can “bite” those who try to ignore it, or it can be wielded to protect those who use it with discernment.
But most importantly, truth, the knowledge of what is real, must be spoken with love, and an intent to help and support, not undermine or demean.
God is the source of truth. He created us, and gave us his mind and heart. Then he gave us a choice and free will. But he advised us to choose life. We must know the truth in order to make that choice. So join us on a journey through the scriptures as we explore some “truth bytes.”
