I celebrated New Year’s Eve with the wife and pets, over pizza and a sub, while watching an old movie on the TCM Movie channel, playing a few games of pool, (I actually won) keeping the fire fed with chunks of split wood, and then reading in several books, ( I do read several at once sometimes) checking out my daughter’s new blog, while waiting for the clock to show the digits of 12:00 a.m. I then sent a few text messages wishing all a Happy New Years, kissed the wife goodnight and crawled into bed, pulled the warm covers up to my chin, closed my eyes, said my prayers, rolled over and sawed some more logs for the fireplace.
2013 has come into being without the world ending via a meteorite nor a nuclear bomb. The fiscal cliff has turned into a gradual downward slope with 7,056,881,008 men, women and children going about their normal activities today. 2012 went by quickly, in fact the older I become the quicker the years fly past.
The most outstanding event of 2012 for me was almost passing from this life via ‘Heat Exhaustion’ while doing rehab on a rental property. The thieves had stolen the air conditioning and the copper piping a few evenings before. They left a trail of damage to ceilings, walls, windows, and the electrical panel. Under normal circumstances this rehab would have been bad enough with the four pinched nerves in my back and two Arthritic hips, but with no a/c in 90+ degree days, bad went to worse.
It was 93 degrees inside the house, and I found myself very light headed, and weak. As I was pulling the toilet to replace a wax ring, I dropped the bowl, (luckily it didn’t break) and I just fell to the floor. I didn’t pass out completely, but it was difficult to focus. I eventually was able to stand back up, only to fall against the wall and slide down to the floor again, so I stayed there as I dialed 911. It took the squad 45 minutes to arrive on the scene. Somehow the station that normally responds for that address was tied up on calls, and the dispatcher had to call another station, who also was short-staffed. They did arrive and I did survive.
I am thankful as it made me realize just how old I am, and how close check-out time may be. I wrote some letters to my children, and went over some financial things with the wife, and finally, with the encouragement of my daughter, wife and others, started this blog. Good can always come out of bad. Of course the bad news for the wife is; my days are over for doing any major rehab. The bending at the waist applies too much pressure on the nerves of my lower back and hips hindering me from accomplishing what needs to be done with a rehab. (I would lay on the floor while laying floor tile and base-cove to ease the pain) It is time to hire it out, or sell the rentals. Hopefully the market will rise enough to enable the transaction. The good news is; I enjoy expressing myself via a blog, and appreciate my time with the family more.

Fiscal Cliff?
The New World Order agenda continues to press forward while eroding our freedoms. Advances in technology enable the enforcement of society into submission when the proper time arrives. Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, North African Countries, and the Islamic Brotherhood are all alive and well seeking the annihilation of Israel, and the United States if she gets in their way.
The book of Revelation speaks of over 50% of the earth’s population being killed during the last seven years of time on earth. The ‘Georgia Guide-Stones’ have etchings declaring; “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature”. The agenda of the New World order is to eliminate as much as 90% of the population. The world continues to be a volatile place for human beings to hang their coats. It is best to realize that all of our days are numbered, and make the new year resolutions in light thereof.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus “Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong as its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.”
I remember hearing once—-“Just because something has been written into law, doesn’t make it right.” Rendition is happening as we type, it is still a scary world outside my window, if the government suspects you of being combatant. Rendition is a law, but it isn’t right.
While it is enjoyable to live life only for today, we have to remember that today could not be possible without yesterday, nor a tomorrow. ‘Time’ demands that all three; past, present and future be involved to be able to know that it is today, Tuesday January 1, 2013. It is foolish to ignore what is transpiring on the world stage before our eyes, while we savor the flavor of the popcorn and soft drink in our hands. Things change quickly and we might miss something that would be important to our survival.
So, as we rejoice over a New Year to live our life in America, remember that America is changing into a society that will be able to fit into a One World Government. Our children and grandchildren will face a world unlike anything that our parents and grandparents, have ever known. What Resolutions would you like to make in light of this? Whatever they are, they need to involve more than today, and more than self, and more than this life.
May the Peace Of Him be found in your personal heart and of your loved ones in 2013.
