Cardinal Pell had created the Melbourne Response into institutionalised pedophilia in the '90s in Australia. It was a world first, but hamstrung by laws of the day, giving victims compensation without forcing them to trial. There was a backlash and a party which had included many who were known pedophiles and had deep bureaucratic connections had had Pell face decades of litigation which over time crept to accuse Pell of being a pedophile, and had him jailed on a false pretext for over a year. He had been convicted by the Victorian high court after the chief justice took the case saying they would be impartial, but they weren't. In the mean time, Pell had been 3rd in power within the Catholic church and had restructured church finances world wide to root out corruption. Recently, senior church members who allegedly leaked against Pell are facing charges of embezzlement. I see no evidence Catholicism is more prone to pedophilia than elsewhere, and I know there are tragic examples. But a deep state issue within Catholicism has seemed to be in the mix and on both sides, Catholics are standing up. Tony Abbott was the first conservative Catholic in Australia (It could be argued Joseph Lyons was Catholic too, but the UAP founder had been ALP first). Malcolm Turnbull is catholic too. Deep state division within Catholicism dates over a thousand years. It is not solely responsible for US deep state issues, but it does seem a contributor.
Editorial on Friday 13th
There used to be a 13th month. It spawned the idea of a blue moon which happens once a year. Robert Graves interpreted artwork from pre literacy Greece found that woman were the initial leaders of the Greeks, and they had three powerful gods, Hera, Aphrodite and Athena. They were a kind of trinity, where Hera, cow eyed, was the older who saw wrongs when others didn't realise she was watching. Aphrodite was a mature, desirable woman. Pallas Athene was the child goddess, whose wisdom was like a sharp pre teen girl. Over time, Queens would adopt a king for a year. At the end of the year, the blue moon, the king would be sacrificed and his blood and bones would be fertiliser. Later still, prisoners might be sacrificed for the king.
The thirteenth month has disappeared from our calendar but still exists as a blue moon, sometimes defined as the month of the year with two moons.
The Code of Hammurabi left off the number 13 for reasons now unknown.
Apollo 13 came too late to be foundational, but my, it was inspiring.
The knights Templar were screwed before French King Philip stole their assets by accusing them of heresies and then torturing them to confess, beginning Friday 13th. They had lost everything when Jerusalem fell after 150 years when the language spoken there had been French. Jerusalem fell after Jerusalem's king's daughter was kidnapped, and so the king the left the safety of a fortress and was slaughtered in battle. The Knights Templar had the timeless duty of guarding Jerusalem and her antiquities. The Holy Grail legend may have been resurrected to impugn the Knights? I feel the knights were victims of a deep state within Christianity. Part of the chaff masquerading as wheat.

From the Bible Romans 12:9-21 NIV
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Here is a video I made Shout to the Lord
This video is for faith
===
"Shout to the Lord" is a popular worship anthem, written by singer/songwriter Darlene Zschech in 1993, published by Hillsong Music Australia.
It has also been covered by many other CCM artists including Carman, Don Moen, Rich Mullins, Michael W. Smith, John Tesh and Diante do Trono (portuguese version "Aclame ao Senhor")
It was the closing song on Idol Gives Back on 9 April 2008, sung by the remaining 8 contestants of American Idol and a gospel choir. The lyrics of the song were altered, changing the word "Jesus" to "Shepherd" in the first line. The song was performed again at the opening of the next show the following night, this time using the original lyrics. Due to strong download sales through iTunes Store, the studio version of the performance charted at number 43 in the Billboard Hot 100, based on digital download sales alone.

I was raised as an Atheist. I learned, after reading the Bible, that God loves me, and you. This is his song for you too. He loves you, and wants to be with you.

Don't give up on hope. Paypal is a reputable company which banks on being 'agile' and 'nimble' in accommodating transactions with security. If you pay for something with Paypal and you have exercised due diligence, you will get what you paid for. Maybe. I have a trip to Sydney coming up in a month, and I'm concerned about the possibility of an extended brown out at my home in Dandenong. I rely on a CPAP machine to sleep. I did not sleep properly for 37 years, being observed by researchers waking 102 times an hour on average, without a machine. I've had a machine for fourteen years and it has made a tremendous difference to my life. So having a small, mobile, temporary replacement would be useful. I bought one online, and used Paypal. I also got a cushion to avoid paying postage. The seller offered me discounts for further products I was interested in, but I'm on a very limited income.
I expected delivery after three to six weeks. After six weeks, I looked up the company which had had good reviews and a longish history online. The site was dead. I contacted Paypal and made claim. Paypal contacted the seller who claimed I'd received the goods, and provided a trace. Paypal gave me the trace and I pointed out it was posted from China after I complained and had not, as then, left China. I waited for the package, and it did not include the 'anti snoring' device. I complained to Paypal, asking for the residual of the device that was not included. Paypal has written they considered my case and would pay me the full amount if I were to return the cushion. I went to the post to see about returning the cushion. It would cost me $AUD51 to get my $US79. But I don't want the full refund or to send back the cushion. I want my $US17.98 back. Or the package delivered. But Paypal don't offer space in their process for me to explain that.
I'm contributing to QUORA, a question and answer site that can be a bit addictive.
Why does math come naturally to some people?
Math phobia is very real for some people. Math is not natural, it is a discipline. But often the association are straightforward and attainable for most.
There are three reasons why someone might not get a math lesson. They might not know antecedent theory. They might not understand the principle being explained. They might not be capable of comprehending it. The last is extremely rare As a teacher with over twenty six years experience I’ve not found such a student.
Students miss things for a number of reasons. They may be away from school when it was discussed, or they may not have paid attention. However, when they miss things, it builds, and remediation is important to addressing that. Generally students in the lower part of the middle third band need remediation, and once given it, become almost evangelical in showing others what they discovered. The result of remediation of targeted students is often a whole school improvement in performance. A crowded curriculum means remediation is often neglected. However, remediation is often built in to Australian High school math courses, but unless students are actively targeted they have ways of avoiding discovery.
Math phobia is usually a result of extreme avoidance behaviour. A student needs math equipment they might use, like mathomat, ruler, calculator, compass, protractor, set square etc I also suggest a ‘cheat sheet’ listing letters and numbers, squares, cubes, fibonacci, triangular numbers, primes (Eratosthenes’ sieve), math tables and Pascal’s triangle. A colleague of mine was faced with a year 8 girl who had made an arithmetic error in her book. “two and three is not six.” “Yes it is!” “No, two plus three doesn’t equal six” “Yes it does! Oh, I can’t understand any of this!”
To understand math you are struggling with, you need to have the necessary items, then, you need a question, worked solutions, and another question that is similar. Follow the worked solution. Try to see why each step was needed. Don’t worry if it seems obvious. Don’t overthink it, but try to do similar with the similar question. You will be slow, at first, but speed is not essential.
Further note, many math lessons have ‘busy work’ where you practice ‘drill’ what you have done. It is ok to answer all those questions, correctly showing working. Also, it is good to summarise work and regularly revise.

Gabrielle Williams was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers, working with the Minister for Housing, Disability and Ageing and the Minister for Families and Children. Williams was given those titles when elected in 2014. It is difficult to find what value she has been to Dandenong, but clearly the ALP see her as the future. Williams' news from the ALP proudly announced on August 2nd that a Dandenong Primary School was to "Turn Learning into an Art form." Art is wonderful and an essential part of the curriculum. Children learn through art, expression, and lessons that can be life long. This project is to allocate $35k to partner an artist at Monash who is engaged in research. The children will be engaged in doing what they should be doing without the researcher, but this way they are being watched by someone other than their teacher. It is unlikely the children will spend quality time with the artist. It isn't a trial of a larger scheme. There are seventeen schools in this pre election farce in which $288k has been allocated, ostensibly to "use creativity as a catalyst for student learning." It isn't a large amount of money, but it adds up when connected to other corrupt and wasteful spending.
As part of the November 24th Vic election campaign I have a petition I want to bring before the Opposition Leader Matthew Guy. I believe Matthew will be the next premier of Victoria and so I am petitioning him as I raise the issues of Employment, Crime and Education in Dandenong. I am also seeking money for my campaign. I don't have party resources, and so my campaign is on foot, and on the internet. Any money I receive that is not spent on the campaign will go to Grow 4 Life. I am asking questions like "What do you love about Dandenong?" and "If you could change something in Dandenong to make it better, what would it be?" I'm not limiting the questions to state issues. I'm happy to discuss anything, and get things done.

Some things should not happen, but they do. The Red Shirt Brigade looks like costing the ALP a lot of senior members of parliament as soon as the courts decide on the facts. That should be of great concern to the Victorian Branch of the ALP, and Dan Andrews. The allegation being that volunteers were paid well and acted outside their jurisdiction, a criminal offence for any parliamentary member knowingly paying so. It is like the hypothetical member for Dandenong Valley paying volunteers $48 an hour to campaign in Franks Town as well as Dandenong Valley. It is ok for the member for Dandenong Valley to pay for work in Dandenong Valley, but he must not call his employees volunteers when they are not. And they are not allowed to then campaign in Franks Town. It might appear a small criminal offence to some, but it is corruption. And where does it end?
Bill Shorten is in trouble over what he knew regarding Julia Gillard's slush fund involving the AWU. Allegedly he was told all, and instructed the person telling him to shut up. And then that person was threatened. Shorten's links to Get Up! are concerning too, as he would probably fall foul of the same issues regarding the Red Shirt Brigade which looks like eliminating the ALP from Victoria. Victoria might not need wait until 2018 to form a Matthew Guy Liberal Government if the rump of the ALP gets booted for corruption. And a court's findings is due to be tabled next Friday.
On this day in 29 BC, Octavian held the first of three consecutive triumphs in Rome. The Roman senate had ordered the closure of the Temple of Janus, signifying Rome was not at war for the first time in over two hundred years. This pleased Octavian who had had success against Antony the year before and was working hard to raise the name of the Roman Republic while also acquiring the powers of a dictator. Octavian had little choice but retain the dictatorial powers, many would have killed him to claim powers of their own. The previous year, 30BC had seen Gaius Cornelius Gallus quell an uprising in Egypt and set up monuments of himself within months the monuments had outlasted the future exile. In 554, Justinian I was so impressed with his public servant Liberius he reorganised Italy to give him extensive land. Liberius shares having had civic responsibility for Italy, Gaul and Egypt with Caeser and Napoleon. Some people called him the gangster of love, but in 582, Maurice became Byzantine Emperor. He was successful in facing off Persia so that Byzantium no longer needed to pay tribute in his reign. In 900, a petty squabble between a person who was not Duke of Loraine, Count Reginar I of Hainult was solved when he killed the bastard son of Carolingian Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia, Zwentibold of Lotharingia. In 1521, Cortes' long siege of Tenochtitlan was successful. In 1532, Brittany became part of France, but the language of the peasants remained so that by 1780, only 20% of France spoke French. In 1536 in Kyoto, Buddhist monks set fire to 21 temples in what became known as the Tenbun Hokke Disturbance. Michael Servetus was a polymath cartographer, theologian, physician and translator. He was the first to correctly describe the operation of the pulmonary arterial system. He was also denounced by both Catholics and Protestants and in 1553 was arrested as a heretic by order of Calvin and later burned at the stake. Today, Servetus' work would not be out of place in a theological school.
In 1624, Louis XIII of France appointed Cardinal Richelieu as Prime Minister, and Richelieu began brilliantly centralising power away from the feudal system that was inherited, presaging Louis XIV. Before Germany unified, her states feuded, and in 1704 Bavaria squared off against Prussia and lost. Only they had allied themselves with common enemies, Bavaria with France faced off against Prussia with a Grand Alliance of England, Holy Roman Empire and Dutch Republic. Louis XIV had had a successful previous year in the War of the Spanish Succession, but in the Battle of Blenheim that reversed. Blenheim saw the rare example of a weaker force attacking a defended position and through a mixture of daring, good timing and General competence and collegial confidence the Grand Alliance had a stunning win, an amazing victory for Winston Churchill's ancestor. In 1779, the Royal Navy humiliated the US Navy's Penobscot Expedition which had set sail with the intent of preventing England from renaming Maine as New Ireland. The expedition wasn't successful, but Maine kept her name, ultimately. In 1792 King Louis XVI of France was arrested and declared an enemy of the people. In 1831, Nat Turner saw a solar eclipse, and decided it was a sign from God, he enlisted some seventy slaves to kill white people, of which fifty five were victim in Southampton County, Virginia. In 1898, a mock battle for Manila was held between the US and Spain, with Spain surrendering to prevent Manila from falling to Philippine guerrillas. In 1906 an ASADA type investigation was held into the shooting death of a barman and a police officer. A Black Army unit was blamed and fabricated evidence from local white townsfolk was given. The entire unit (167 soldiers) was discharged dishonourably despite exculpatory evidence. In the early 1970s, the unit was expunged of the charge, but no compensation was ever paid. In 1913, Harry Brearly began producing stainless steel in the UK. In 1918, the US army began enlisting Women. Also in 1918, BMW was established in Germany. In 1920, Poland defeated the Soviets in the Battle of Warsaw, starting on this day and finishing August 25th. In 1937, the Battle of Shanghai began. In 1942, the Manhattan Projects construction facilities were authorised. Also in 1942, Bambi was released by Disney. In 1961 East Germany closed her borders. In 1977, rioting by a group of people who would later form the EDL resulted in 214 arrests and 111 injuries. In 1978 150 Palestinians were killed in Lebanon. In 2004, 156 Tutsi were killed in a refugee camp in Burundi. In 2008, Russian units occupied Georgian Gori. In 2010 492 Sri Lankan Tamils docked in British Columbia on this day.

The previous year, 30BC had seen Gaius Cornelius Gallus quell an uprising in Egypt and set up monuments of himself within months the monuments had outlasted the future exile. In 554, Justinian I was so impressed with his public servant Liberius he reorganised Italy to give him extensive land. Liberius shares having had civic responsibility for Italy, Gaul and Egypt with Caeser and Napoleon. Some people called him the gangster of love, but in 582, Maurice became Byzantine Emperor. He was successful in facing off Persia so that Byzantium no longer needed to pay tribute in his reign. In 900, a petty squabble between a person who was not Duke of Loraine, Count Reginar I of Hainult was solved when he killed the bastard son of Carolingian Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia, Zwentibold of Lotharingia. In 1521, Cortes' long siege of Tenochtitlan was successful. In 1532, Brittany became part of France, but the language of the peasants remained so that by 1780, only 20% of France spoke French. In 1536 in Kyoto, Buddhist monks set fire to 21 temples in what became known as the Tenbun Hokke Disturbance. Michael Servetus was a polymath cartographer, theologian, physician and translator. He was the first to correctly describe the operation of the pulmonary arterial system. He was also denounced by both Catholics and Protestants and in 1553 was arrested as a heretic by order of Calvin and later burned at the stake. Today, Servetus' work would not be out of place in a theological school.
In 1624, Louis XIII of France appointed Cardinal Richelieu as Prime Minister, and Richelieu began brilliantly centralising power away from the feudal system that was inherited, presaging Louis XIV. Before Germany unified, her states feuded, and in 1704 Bavaria squared off against Prussia and lost. Only they had allied themselves with common enemies, Bavaria with France faced off against Prussia with a Grand Alliance of England, Holy Roman Empire and Dutch Republic. Louis XIV had had a successful previous year in the War of the Spanish Succession, but in the Battle of Blenheim that reversed. Blenheim saw the rare example of a weaker force attacking a defended position and through a mixture of daring, good timing and General competence and collegial confidence the Grand Alliance had a stunning win, an amazing victory for Winston Churchill's ancestor. In 1779, the Royal Navy humiliated the US Navy's Penobscot Expedition which had set sail with the intent of preventing England from renaming Maine as New Ireland. The expedition wasn't successful, but Maine kept her name, ultimately. In 1792 King Louis XVI of France was arrested and declared an enemy of the people. In 1831, Nat Turner saw a solar eclipse, and decided it was a sign from God, he enlisted some seventy slaves to kill white people, of which fifty five were victim in Southampton County, Virginia. In 1898, a mock battle for Manila was held between the US and Spain, with Spain surrendering to prevent Manila from falling to Philippine guerrillas. In 1906 an ASADA type investigation was held into the shooting death of a barman and a police officer. A Black Army unit was blamed and fabricated evidence from local white townsfolk was given. The entire unit (167 soldiers) was discharged dishonourably despite exculpatory evidence. In the early 1970s, the unit was expunged of the charge, but no compensation was ever paid. In 1913, Harry Brearly began producing stainless steel in the UK. In 1918, the US army began enlisting Women. Also in 1918, BMW was established in Germany. In 1920, Poland defeated the Soviets in the Battle of Warsaw, starting on this day and finishing August 25th. In 1937, the Battle of Shanghai began. In 1942, the Manhattan Projects construction facilities were authorised. Also in 1942, Bambi was released by Disney. In 1961 East Germany closed her borders. In 1977, rioting by a group of people who would later form the EDL resulted in 214 arrests and 111 injuries. In 1978 150 Palestinians were killed in Lebanon. In 2004, 156 Tutsi were killed in a refugee camp in Burundi. In 2008, Russian units occupied Georgian Gori. In 2010 492 Sri Lankan Tamils docked in British Columbia on this day.

Tony Abbott's speech in Adelaide on Friday, where he says he should have pushed amendments to 18c of the racial discrimination act are welcomed by conservatives, many of whom do not admit why it was shelved. Politics is not an obvious sport. Manipulative persons have a habit of looking clean while forcing decisions that make the power broker look bad. Abbott was very much for free speech. But he needed to negotiate and compromise with many, including his communications minister Malcolm Turnbull. Turnbull forced Abbott to shelve the plans, even as Turnbull knifed him for doing so. Turnbull works to power, not to national interest. It suits Turnbull to not amend 18c, as it doesn't bother him, but upsets conservatives. I respect Andrew Bolt, but his criticism of Abbott when he was PM was overstated. Abbott hasn't changed. Bolt is choosing to listen. Turnbull doesn't want Abbott on the front bench because he knows what he would do from that position. But Turnbull has too much contempt for back benchers to know that the freedom he has given Abbott will only heighten his pre resignation humiliation.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
=== from 2015 ===
Australia is blessed with an internationally competitive education system as well as many natural endowments that make her a playmate for migration. Students come here and pay much. They are not all wealthy, but they all work hard. They aren't allowed, under travel Visa to work a lot to earn the money they need to pay for their education, but the promise is that if they work hard, earn their degree, they can then migrate to Australia. Many become model citizens. But Australia is not very kind to those she promises a future. These are not boat people who queue jump, but people exploited, sometimes working illegally and paid cash in hand, illegally. There is no minimum wage. 70 hour weeks at $10 an hour, living conditions that are beneath poverty levels. University fees that are 300% higher than their Australian classmates. Travelling on public transport without a ticket is a $75 fine in Melbourne. The ticket may have been bought, but if it can't be presented because of oversight then it can cost more than seven hours of work. But if the ticketless person is unemployed they can avoid paying the fine altogether through work for the dole measures which pays $50 an hour towards fines. We don't always highly value our best, in Australia.
Greek compassion for illegal boat people is wavering. The truth is it isn't compassionate to drown people wanting to migrate. Press made much of the earlier claims of Greek hospitality for survivors of the people smugglers. But the riots on homeless peoples who survived people smuggling suggest the rosy picture is not an accurate one.
ALP attempting to shut down royal commission into trade unions. It isn't a terrible mistake or error of judgement as some say. A highly respected judge who fronts the royal commission was scheduled to speak at a Liberal Party fundraiser. The arrangement is years old. The royal commission is recent. So as to avoid the appearance of bias, the judge has declined the event. Now the ALP claim that the judge, who has done nothing wrong and who has not even appeared anything but impartial regarding the royal commission, should step aside, and close down the royal commission. They have to say something, because the mounting evidence is damning.
Turnbull's outspoken attack on government policy. Turnbull has previously said that speaking against government policy for a minister should be a sackable offence. But the Same Sex Marriage issue seems too important to let pass, for him. The important question Turnbull has not answered is does he feel that religious clerics who act on conscience should go to jail or be sued?
Jimmy Carter has cancer. Hillary Clinton is fading. Bad days for Democrats regarding the Presidency because the incumbent is so bad and the next time isn't their turn. They will campaign for a stronger Congress position. But they will need to find a policy which somehow doesn't bankrupt the nation.

From 2014
Lauren Bacall died today. It is ok to die old and blessed. A link to the golden age of movies has passed. She was nineteen years old when she was cast opposite Humphrey Bogart. She was thirty one when he passed from cancer, leaving her a widow. She was a screen siren, and then an accomplished actress when she was older. A lifelong Democrat supporter, she once sang, sitting on top of a piano played by then Vice President Truman. She was first cousin to Shimon Peres. May she rest in peace.
The casualty list for the Liberal Party in NSW looks appalling. The administration is making good decisions for the state and the opposition has yet to show a policy that is worthwhile. The criticism of the Liberal Party by a triumphant press is not proportionate to the accusations relative to the ALP in government. The NSW Libs seem to have fallen foul of a technicality regarding fund raising that doesn't appear to amount to much. Had the regulation not been to exclude developers from donating, no crime would have been committed. However, one of the many corrupt ALP figures is accused of misappropriating half a billion dollars. And when Obeid was in office, the ICAC turned a blind eye. The ICAC cannot pick and choose which laws it will investigate, or which party, if it is to be independent. However, I am uncomfortable that there is a suggestion that corrupt Libs were sharing with corrupt ALP former minister Tripodi. My issue is tied up with Tripodi and I want to know I have not lost my career, my home and my future because the Libs are in cahoots with my abuser who had been my sitting member. The ICAC ignored my submission in 2001, before Hamidur Rahman died. Did ICAC incompetence kill a school child? Are they covering up that neglect in their persecution of Liberal members?

Today's Old Testament reading: Psalm 84-86
For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young-
a place near your altar,
LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you....
Today's New Testament reading: Romans 12
A Living Sacrifice
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will....

Morning
Causes for disquietude there are none so long as this blessed sentence is true. On earth the Lord's power as readily controls the rage of the wicked as the rage of the sea; his love as easily refreshes the poor with mercy as the earth with showers. Majesty gleams in flashes of fire amid the tempest's horrors, and the glory of the Lord is seen in its grandeur in the fall of empires, and the crash of thrones. In all our conflicts and tribulations, we may behold the hand of the divine King.
"God is God; he sees and hears
All our troubles, all our tears.
Soul, forget not, 'mid thy pains,
God o'er all forever reigns."
In hell, evil spirits own, with misery, his undoubted supremacy. When permitted to roam abroad, it is with a chain at their heel; the bit is in the mouth of behemoth, and the hook in the jaws of leviathan. Death's darts are under the Lord's lock, and the grave's prisons have divine power as their warder. The terrible vengeance of the Judge of all the earth makes fiends cower down and tremble, even as dogs in the kennel fear the hunter's whip.
"Fear not death, nor Satan's thrusts,
God defends who in him trusts;
Soul, remember, in thy pains,
God o'er all forever reigns."
In heaven none doubt the sovereignty of the King Eternal, but all fall on their faces to do him homage. Angels are his courtiers, the redeemed his favourites, and all delight to serve him day and night. May we soon reach the city of the great King!
"For this life's long night of sadness
He will give us peace and gladness.
Soul, remember, in thy pains,
God o'er all forever reigns."
Evening
"The bow shall be seen in the cloud."
Genesis 9:14
Genesis 9:14
The rainbow, the symbol of the covenant with Noah, is typical of our Lord Jesus, who is the Lord's witness to the people. When may we expect to see the token of the covenant? The rainbow is only to be seen painted upon a cloud. When the sinner's conscience is dark with clouds, when he remembers his past sin, and mourneth and lamenteth before God, Jesus Christ is revealed to him as the covenant Rainbow, displaying all the glorious hues of the divine character and betokening peace. To the believer, when his trials and temptations surround him, it is sweet to behold the person of our Lord Jesus Christ--to see him bleeding, living, rising, and pleading for us. God's rainbow is hung over the cloud of our sins, our sorrows, and our woes, to prophesy deliverance. Nor does a cloud alone give a rainbow, there must be the crystal drops to reflect the light of the sun. So, our sorrows must not only threaten, but they must really fall upon us. There had been no Christ for us if the vengeance of God had been merely a threatening cloud: punishment must fall in terrible drops upon the Surety. Until there is a real anguish in the sinner's conscience, there is no Christ for him; until the chastisement which he feels becomes grievous, he cannot see Jesus. But there must also be a sun; for clouds and drops of rain make not rainbows unless the sun shineth. Beloved, our God, who is as the sun to us, always shines, but we do not always see him--clouds hide his face; but no matter what drops may be falling, or what clouds may be threatening, if he does but shine there will be a rainbow at once. It is said that when we see the rainbow the shower is over. Certain it is, that when Christ comes, our troubles remove; when we behold Jesus, our sins vanish, and our doubts and fears subside. When Jesus walks the waters of the sea, how profound the calm!

===
I am a decent man and don't care for the abuse given me. I created a video raising awareness of anti police feeling among western communities. I chose the senseless killing of Nicola Cotton, a Louisiana policewoman who joined post Katrina, to highlight the issue. I did this in order to get an income after having been illegally blacklisted from work in NSW for being a whistleblower. I have not done anything wrong. Local council appointees refused to endorse my work, so I did it for free. Youtube's Adsence refused to allow me to profit from their marketing it. Meanwhile, I am hostage to abysmal political leadership and hopeless journalists. My shopfront has opened on Facebook.

I am publishing a book called Bread of Life: January.
Bread of Life is a daily bible quote with a layman's understanding of the meaning. I give one quote for each day, and also a series of personal stories illustrating key concepts eg Who is God? What is a miracle? Why is there tragedy?
January is the first of the anticipated year-long work of thirteen books. One for each month and the whole year. It costs to publish. It (Kindle version) should retail at about $2US online, but the paperback version would cost more, according to production cost.If you have a heart for giving, I fundraise at gofund.me/27tkwuc (Gofundme finished the fund raiser, 2017)
