The Enduring Majesty of Cedar

King Solomon's Choice for Timeless Structures

Imagine a time long ago when King Solomon decided to build a magnificent temple and a grand palace. To create these impressive structures, he turned to a special wood that was highly prized: cedar from the mountains of Lebanon. Now, why cedar? Well, this wood has some amazing qualities—it doesn’t rot easily and is resistant to pesky insects. This makes it a perfect choice for building something that needs to last a long time.

 The cedars of Lebanon are known for their huge, tall trunks that grow straight and strong. These qualities made them ideal for constructing big beams and planks that could support Solomon's ambitious projects. In the Bible, there’s even a comparison that likens righteous people to these strong cedars, illustrating their long, stable, and productive lives rooted in God. 

 Psalm 92:12 states: The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 

 So, you can see, Solomon’s choice of cedar wasn’t just about building beautiful structures; it was about creating something enduring and strong—just like the values they wished to uphold in that great temple and palace. 

 You can read about King Solomon building the temple in first Kings chapters 5-8 and second Chronicles chapters 2-7.

 Have you seen the Batman deleted scene? It is a great piece. I think it will make a great full movie and will make Batman an awesome top box office hit.

Upset With Internet Offers

 We see offers on the internet that sound so great. Then we see a price tag like 7 day trial. Then we see the bill $59 monthly or $124 yearly. The prices can be large. Especially when you don’t have the money and when you are out of a job. It’s another bill that might take your whole entire savings and checkings. What about a free plan or pay as we go plan? There’s no need to bother the trial when you know you won’t be able to make the payment down the road. 

So you decide to make a blog, and you think you’re signing up with a free plan. They tell you that you can blog all that you want until you find that your space is limited. Then they want you to pay something for storage every month. You want to monetize your blog and they want you to join a premium plan. So you can’t make cash on your blog, and it’s not your blog. People are moving away from that to find where there is no limit. Some podcasters do it all the time in podcasting. 

You might be wondering where you can find a great writing program. I don’t think there are any great ones anymore. You really want to do what you love and make some extra cash. All that people think about is blogs similar to Patreon is selling products. Not everyone is a salesperson. All that you know is you want to write and maybe that’s what you do best and you want to get paid for it. But no, to make the cash, you have to sell or put up a tip jar for donations. If you don’t have a community interested in your content, it won’t work. There are just frogs and crickets. Then you have to choose Stripe and you might want PayPal for payment.

When you try to search for a writing program in the search engine, you will see a bunch of How to Blog. But you might be typing in get paid to blog. How to blog is not what you have typed. How to blog is what you get, or when you think you have found a platform that you like, it no longer exists. 

Other blogs are offering you to put up a paywall. You may want your fans to be able to come to your work and read. 

Also there are other blog platform owners that want you to write what they want you to write or you get rejected. You want to write what you want to write. They tell you that they train and all of that. They don’t get it. We just want to go freelance and write. With the blogs that want to check your work and teach you how to write, you can get rejected so many times. They may offer you big bucks, but you might not receive it. More power to the people that do.

GabPay

 

In 2018, an American alt-tech microblogging & social networking service called Gab was banned from PayPal. Now there is a PayPal alternative called GabPay. The new GabPay App is a person to person payment network. The new app allows users to instantly transfer money from nearly any bank account in the US to anyone or any business with a cell phone or email. 

The app can transfer funds from a bank account, hold a balance, send and spend with any other user, receive instantly, or cash the amount you have out to nearly any financial institution in the USA. GabPay adds a small fee of 1.9% plus $0.15 when you transact.

Can you send money to someone who does not use GabPay? Yes! It is secure & it offers Merchant Processing For Business.

So if you need an alternative to PayPal asking for only your email or cellphone #, you might want to try GabPay. You only need to provide one or the other, though providing both may make future transactions and communications easier. Go to GabPay.com. to find out more.

I’ve heard a lot about people playing music backwards. They call it backmasking & how it sounds like the devil. I’ve heard an example of a backmasked recording that made no sense at all. Just a bunch of noise. It is said that backmasking started with the Beetles 1966 album Revolver. John Lennon played the tapes for the song “Rain” in reverse and liked the sound. ….
