X16 MAKING THE SLAVE CLASS

7 DEC 2016 - 2JAN 2017   SALVATION ARMY #3   TYLER, TEXAS

XIII. THE LADEN WEIGHT OF IRONY

The Director is on vacation and this is the B-Team. These ladies exhibit some fine bureaucratic thinking. Since I did not go to the hospital, they are giving me a referral to go to Highway 80 in Longview. They claim that my dropping out unnerved everyone. None of the residents seem unnerved. The ladies in charge seem unnerved. This is all rubbish and I feel seriously manipulated because bucks are being passed. They think that they are protecting themselves. This is pathetic, I ask the lady in charge if their actions were Scriptural. Blowing me off was her response. Sooo, is this a church or just another government subsidy.

X15 MANIPULATION AND PARADOX

7 DEC 2016 - 2 JAN 2017   SALVATION ARMY #2   TYLER, TEXAS

VIII. CHURCH 

It is Sunday. I am told that their church services are essentially singing songs and a brief message. Depth is my desire because I miss church being a transcendental experience. I open my laptop in a parking garage, read aloud ten more chapters of Job, I pray, and then I feel better. That was church.

X14 DEJA VU

7 DEC 2016 - 2JAN 2017   SALVATION ARMY #1   TYLER, TEXAS

I. ANOTHER LAST PLACE TO BE
It is time to try something else because I am restless and nowhere. A friend takes me to this clinic and there is nothing that they can do. They call a deputy and he takes me to Tyler. This is the second time that the Law has enabled me to leave town and that is not a bad thing. Memory resounds through irony. He drops me off at the Salvation Army and I check in and go to sleep. We are still repeating steps.

X12 WHERE BEDLAM IS HELD

I. SODOM AND GOMORRAH

In Genesis 18, the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah is so great that YHWH tells Abraham that he is going to destroy the city. Abraham intercedes for Sodom and asks that YHWH does not do this thing if he finds fifty righteous men in Sodom and Gomorrah. YHWH is merciful because He allows Abraham to renegotiate the deal from fifty to forty-five, forty, thirty, twenty, and then ten. I assume that ten was the final offer because Genesis 19 opens with some men of the city wanting to rape two angels.

X13 NERVE

I. EXPERIENCING EAST TEXAS MINISTRIES

YHWH’s Word stands alone, nothing should be added or subtracted from The Word Of God. This would include ego, intent, modern business practices, acceptable cultural norms, societal attitudes, national laws, and so forth. The slightest dilution of the truth will lead you into a lie. Truth must exist in absolute purity. In a manner of speaking, prayer, confession, and repentance resets the Truth to its state of purity.

(WITHIN MINISTRIES AND CHARITIES)

2 DESIGNS OF A CHARITABLE SCAM

IV. A HOLY CHARADE

One must remember that Lucifer was originally an angel of light. The problem with evil is that it is a corrupt imitation of good. Good can exist without evil but evil requires good for its existence. Corruption requires something to corrupt. That is definitive evil and despite the charade of appearances, mediocrity prevails.

1 BUILDING THE SLAVE CLASS

I. DEFINING THE PLAYING FIELD

Being human means that we are carriers of corruption, error, and imperfection. We taint all that is touched. Ministries and charities are magnets for corruption. The reason being is that they are metaphorical food source for criminals, narcissists, manipulators, and sociopaths. It is easier to work or volunteer for these organizations than to troll on your own. The object desired is brought to you. These personality types prey upon the weak and impoverished. Lacking money means limited options and this builds desperate measures. Predators linger for the waiting mistake.

X-RAY FAITH 8: DEE & ANGIE

X8 THE FLINTSTONE

May-June, 2013   Dee & Angie   Lake Richland-Chambers

I. LIFE WITHOUT WILMA

It was back to the stone age. I was living outside of the house, doing laundry by hand, and cooking over fire. I became a Flintstone. In the process, I have a new appreciation for modern conveniences. Taking care of necessities takes more time than normal. Camping out would have been fun if it were not for the fact that I will do this for four weeks on someone’s lake lot. This is Lake Richland-Chambers, it is twenty-four miles outside of Fairfield, Texas.

X-RAY FAITH 7: TRUE VINE DOXA CENTER

X7 BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS

April-May, 2013   True Vine Doxa Center   Fairfield, Texas 

I. PUKE IS THE NEW MAUVE

House

I am living in a seriously dilapidated house with a paroled sex-offender. The house is owned by a local pastor. There are holes in the floor, ceiling, and walls. I have two windows in my room. One window has tape holding the glass together. The other window was used to hold an air conditioner unit. Now it is just a hole that I stuffed with some kind of aging foam. There are huge gaps between the walls and floors. There is a large slab of sheet rock that is waiting to fall. I threw some cut-up carpet pads and carpet strips on the floor. Some of the electrical outlets have burned out. If one wished to get into my room from the outside, all they need to do is to remove the windowsill with the taped window pane. Long ago, the room was painted this light orange. If one should desire to purchase this paint, then the name of the color would be ‘Puke.’ I can not believe that I am not making this up. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

X-RAY FAITH 1-6: REDEMPTION HOUSE

X 1 THE BROCHURE FOR REDEMPTION HOUSE

January-April, 2013   Redemption House   Palestine, Texas

X17 LOSE

2008 was the last time that all of the family came together for a vacation. Later that summer, Greg Matte's sermon was about a prayer that asked God to strip down your life, so that it may be rebuilt to according to His suiting. I was afraid to pray that prayer, but I did. I consider October 13, 2008 to be the day that the prayer began its answer. I have always been open about matters of addiction and that was the day that therapy began to end a two year affair with pain killers. What follows is not poetics, but merely a list. It is all true.
