The return of the warrior poet! I stand beside you, brother. Thank you for your heart and for your longsuffering. May God be glorified by your efforts, so be it!

Well done! Thank you.

May the blessings implied (all of them) by “the Word became flesh” accrue to more folks and their households through your presentation.

Thank you, TriTorch! My most important Christmas decorations are my nativities. Some of them I purchased in other countries and some were gifts. The countries represented are: Peru, Israel, Niger, Germany, Ghana, and Guatemala.

I am 73 years old and I have been thinking a lot recently about God's faithfulness to me over the years, beginning when I was a child growing up in a non-Christian home. Neighbors took my brother and I to church. I was 23 years old when I placed my faith in Christ.

I haven't written much on Substack this past year. I had two knee replacement surgeries and, obviously, had to focus on recovery. I was told that teacher's unions are using the paperclip for their agenda, so I quit promoting my paperclip resistance under that name. My focus going forward, whether through Substack or some other means, is to do what I can to protect children, whether from childhood vaccines, the trans agenda, trafficking or any other potential harm. My greatest "accomplishment" in that realm is that I was able to convince my niece not to get the covid shot while pregnant. She had been trying to carry a child to term for ten years and now has a beautiful, healthy little boy!

Merry Christmas to all!

Anne, it is really good to hear from you again, thank you for the updates on where your life has taken you.

Would you be willing to maybe make an aricle showcasing your exotic nativities? I would really like to see and compare them. (You could also make a draft instead with pictures of them and send me the draft link, although i think everyone would like to see something so unique.)

Congratulations on your 50th anniversary, God must have spoken with your neighbors, knowing you would take to Him like a duck to water if given the opportunity.

Regarding the Paperclip Resistsnce, alas, they do this often: take something historic that has worth and a lesson to teach, co-opt it's name in someway (often in a movie), and twist its meaning so something unrelated. Then, when searched for, the engines floods the results with the new blaphemized version, blinding the hungry minds to the old wise ways, and ruining its value. It is so subvrsive and works so well: suddenly the older and younger generations are speaking a different language to one another because each holds a separate understanding about the meanings of things, events, places.

Bravo on persuading your niece not to get the stroke poke! That must have taken some serious thought and tact on your part to achieve, well played Anne! Quite the noble accomplishment in this age of deception!! I wish her and her son so much happiness.

And you, Merry Christmas, warrior Anne! Keep fighting the good fight for the defenceless among us, we are in your debt, and onward Christian Soldier!

I absolutely loved every single thing in this return to Substack post! What a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas and the actual reason for the season, Christ himself!

I wholeheartedly choose Jesus! I was always a believer but really didn’t make any effort to cultivate it and basically just kept God at arms length for convenience. I was just a normal person drifting through my unremarkable life, yet, several years back God walked right into my living room and utterly changed who I was, gave me purpose and direction. If I’d known how wonderful it is in His Light I would have gotten here sooner!

Merry Christmas, welcome back, prayers for your son’s success as well as yours, and may the coming year be one of the best years yet! God bless.

Oh, and I bought the Kindle version…it’s better money for him and I would rather him make more money while being still being a published author who is selling “books” whether digital or physical 🥳🥰

TriTorch's avatar

Ahh EK, I see how it is!

He will soon be in the “know” of the nuts and bolts of this conspiracy to better fund his game

(Thank you)
