Daily Journal December 6, 1998, By-William Thomas Thompson. Start the day right with Bible Reading and Prayer, eat right. Feel good and praise the Lord for all things. We are heirs to the kingdom of God. Rejoice in the Lord and love the things of God, He is holy and we need to live holy before Him who is our creator. I thank you Lord for this day be it rain or shine, if I have one eye I thank God for one eye, if I have one hand, I thank the Lord for a one hand, if I have one finger, I thank God for one finger. If I am free, I thank God to be free. If I have any knowledge at all, I thank God for what I know and the understanding He has given to me. Use what you have for the glory of God. Use your strength and energy to glorify the Lord in all things and He will reward you. Use all your assets in whatever you have and do and He will renew, let not your religion get rusty, keep your motor running for the Lord. “Let everything that has breathes praise the Lord". Our days are all numbered from the beginning of time. God knows our heart and He knows our needs even before we ask. I see many of my needs supplied before I know I have a need. “God sees every sparrow that falls”, I know He sees us non-stop. Let us realize the connection, let us be-come acquainted with God, we live in a time when lying is standard in families, we have come to a time when women are come from being abused to being abandoned. Today half the families in America are mixed up and split like animals. Children are troubled. We have a mess in South Carolina schools with zero tolerance as one thing that is turning kids out of public schools for minor offenses and put-ting them in harms way. The real bad kids are expelled and put in Christian schools making reformatories out of private schools; many private Christian schools are more rough and dangerous than public schools. This gives teachers an out for troubled kids rather than deal with their problems, we are one big giant failure and it’s the fault of the schools in the public system. We continue to go down hill in educating people to live in this wild world and make it on their own. The now and future generations will surely be slaves. Any attack now will be purely an effort to save a president. Clinton's threat on Iraq with missiles is the most dangerous ever. A man that never had any military training plunging the world in-to war. I think the President's power should be limited from this time on especially until the impeachment process is complete. The attack on Saddam is war against the entire Arab Muslim world and the muslin world is one billion strong and includes support from more African Americans like the million man march on Washington. Where are they, they are all over the world. What can bombing of Iraq do to help anybody? To kill natives of Iraq when Saddam goes on does not make any sense. Clinton is using our military to defend himself from the Congress. When the Arabs get him, he will wish Congress had him instead. There is no hiding place for Clinton and no peace ever to be had. I wanted to finish my travel this year because I believe it will be very risky to fly in 1999 anywhere that planes fly now and especially to Europe and the Mid-East. We sure are living in dangerous days and we are not really in the control of our armed forces. Another attack on Iraq and the United Nations will take charge of our troops. At this point we do not have power to attack anyone or defend ourselves from attack. All control now is given over to the U.N. where we are grossly out voted, it is sad. From painting the art. In real life inspired by the Holy Scripture, does my life comply? I believe in what I paint. I can not paint a message and live the world. I cannot paint for God and live for the devil. Those vices that people are addicted to can and will be delivered beginning I believe with tobacco and alcohol even drugs legal or illegal, over sexed and out of control like Clinton or with a trash mind in the pit of hell making man slave to Satan. We can all be delivered by the available grace of God through Jesus.
