A very nice afternoon to all. We're under cloudless skies, temperature in a bit of a coolish-nature. Another one of our old, young ladies and her daughter has flown up from the lower 48 to be with Patrick and Canaan for the weekend. We haven't seen her for some time and now she is married, a mother and 22 years old. Today the clan is driving over to Soldotna so she can visit with that side of the family...the house will be quieter for a bit, so I will take a nap.
In truth, a battle royal can be going on downstairs and if my brain says its nap time, I pass out. Hopefully I'm out of the bathroom when those times happen. It can sometime occur late at night because of the sleep drugs I take, I'm so dopey. I act like a drunk moving from bar to bar, banging into walls. But, my family is used to it, still it drives our five canines crazy, I've stepped on them now and then.
Having a bit of a problem with the insurance program I'm under. They've decided to quit supporting two of my pain meds, concerned about addiction. But, these are not the drugs people get addicted too, so my doc and I are appealing. I only mention this in that I could use your prayers, I'm also going in for a VA Re-evaluation. My last one was in 1994, where they announced I suffered from PTSD. They wouldn't give me my results for Agent Orange contamination. So, I'll try again. I wish to know if this is what caused all my medical problems. the non-disabling ones. Like that day my head fell off and rolled across the kitchen floor. I never pushed it back then, but I am going to ask for further testing. It's embarrassing when the old noggin drops off. Maybe its just related to my PTSD. Mona is always saying she wished I had a brain in my head. She was in the kitchen and has her proof. Though on a serious side, I've told her that when I leave this earth, to have my brain tested for that CTE disease that has become quite noticeable in football players and other sportsmen. I played high school ball and later with a semi-pro league. As a defensive end my head was always getting pounded. Other events happened as a police officer, I was prone to lead with my head when the knuckle brawls occurred in the bars, or in those unfriendly-like domestic situation. Can't tell you how many times I was smacked in the head by broom handles or whatever was handy when I arrested some guy for beating his wife. Then she'd turn on me. Most of the departments I worked for rarely had back-ups. So, I'd end up hauling them both in. The judges always loved those double assault cases, and sometimes the wife went down on a felony assault for using a club on me. Then I had to drag them both out to the patrol car.
At Edwards Air Force Base, I worked as a Desk Sergeant with the Security Police and had to dispatch two patrols to a real noisy domestic situation, then I had to dispatch two more patrols and a supervisor. When they decided to apprehend (we never called it arrest in the military- weird), the NCO, who was pretty drunk and had become vicious with his wife, she turned around and assaulted both policemen from behind- rupturing their splines with well placed kicks. Two ambulances were needed for my guys and 10-days in the hospital. Since it wasn't the first time we had responded there. They were kicked off base and he was thrown out of the service. He also took the blame for his wife, since no one wanted to charge her with felony assault. Oh, the old war stories- sorry. funny how the old events pop back up.
I'm now working on the re-write for "Badge and the Cross- Book 2- Stronghold", concerning my time in Skagway as a patrolman. A lot of memories, some good and some not so good have resurfaced. This was an unusual time for Mona and I, as I learned the reality of Spiritual Warfare and I was a two-month old Christian. Experiencing it again as I re-write the chapters, has helped me once again in my prayer-life. I learned in that town of how the enemy really existed and we had the Lord's power to use against his actions. Spiritual Warfare became a new experience, one I truly didn't think I was ready for. Tough on Mona, too. But on the normal side, that town got extremely busy in the summer, slow in the winter. My last summer there I worked 7-days a week, 12-hour shifts for just over 5-months. I became a cop who lost almost all tolerance with drunks, brawlers and wife beaters. We didn't get a lot of sleep back then as I was backing up the day shift officer and he was backing me up at night. During the 3 summer softball tournaments, it was the worst when the town hosted 80-ball teams for each tournament, coming from Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and Canada. I'll have to say it was the Canadians who forgot how to behave. Then on a Christmas night, when the town was quiet, a 17-year old boy killed another 17-year old with a knife, witnessed by another dozen or so teenagers. It is in the story, all under factious names. However, I learned a lot while in that town. I can at least say that and the Good Lord took really good care of me, minus the occasional bump on my head.
I loved my years as a police officer and it helped me grow as a man and a Christian. The poor kids in the youth group Mona and I led in Fairbanks, about 30 to 50 kids when everyone came, got stuck listening to my old cop tales. It was worse for my children, who had a cop for a father. But, thanks to their mother they basically came out okay. We worked with the teens and young adults for nearly 4 years and then decided younger group leaders were needed, and we stepped down. It has been a blessing watch the kids grow into adulthood. Most remained as a believers, but some developed too much bitterness toward God and blamed Him for their home life. Couples got married, had kids and our kids have stayed in contact with a few of them. When I learned one of the kids had become a senior pastor for a large church, actually our old church in Fairbanks, I was so proud of him and his wife. Being a pastor is not an easy job, nor is it easy for the wife and children. Sort of like being a cop's kid.
I'm going to go to the news stories now. Otherwise I could be on here forever. When I'm writing ( on one of my books), it really drives me to continue this long winded affect in my e-mails.

NOTE FROM BILL: "How Not To Die" book, covers subjects I am using now. Book recommends nutritional yeast for cancer, also improved wound healing. Author is Michael Greer, MD FALCM. If interested- email him at no-reply@nutrition facts.org You might also check out Truenorth Health Center News, they're on Facebook. There are some real natural remedies and you learn what not to eat. And no, I am not being paid for this nor given a free book, but my cousin sends me updates on this doctor's way of doing things naturally. Next time you get a prescription, look at the ingredients and ask the professional behind the counter concerning the ones you don't know about and how they might effect your body. Also look at the side effects. One of the pills I've taken for 30-years has destroyed nearly half of my teeth, I chew soft things now, and other problems. I can only imagine what it has done to my bones and the printed side effects are a bit scary. But, it is the main pill that has kept me walking. Now I plan to go off of it. I've tried twice in the past cold turkey and each time I was back in my wheelchair within 4-days. But this time I'll be under the doctor's care as I withdraw. I'm looking into additional natural supplements and yes, Marijuana edibles is one of them. But, I'm still not sure I get anything from them. That's it for the ad.

NOTE FROM BILL: "How Not To Die" book, covers subjects I am using now. Book recommends nutritional yeast for cancer, also improved wound healing. Author is Michael Greer, MD FALCM. If interested- email him at no-reply@nutrition facts.org You might also check out Truenorth Health Center News, they're on Facebook. There are some real natural remedies and you learn what not to eat. And no, I am not being paid for this nor given a free book, but my cousin sends me updates on this doctor's way of doing things naturally. Next time you get a prescription, look at the ingredients and ask the professional behind the counter concerning the ones you don't know about and how they might effect your body. Also look at the side effects. One of the pills I've taken for 30-years has destroyed nearly half of my teeth, I chew soft things now, and other problems. I can only imagine what it has done to my bones and the printed side effects are a bit scary. But, it is the main pill that has kept me walking. Now I plan to go off of it. I've tried twice in the past cold turkey and each time I was back in my wheelchair within 4-days. But this time I'll be under the doctor's care as I withdraw. I'm looking into additional natural supplements and yes, Marijuana edibles is one of them. But, I'm still not sure I get anything from them. That's it for the ad.

WASHINGTON FREE BEACON: The University of Michigan invited an anti-Israel activist to speak twice on Martin Luther King Jr Day. This speaker is Steven Salaita, who gained popularity in 2014 after approving the Hamas's kidnap and murder of 3 Israeli teens. This event was sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives and Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies. The event also gave Salaita an opportunity to promote his new book. One of his infamous quotes is, "Zionism is one of the reasons the world is so shitty today", ( Pardon the profanity), He verbally attacks Israel in his speeches. ( The part that bothers me is how US taxes are used to bring hate onto our campuses. Federal grant money to the campus, plus federal student loans. Let him rent a hall, a stadium, but not our schools- my opinion)
GATESTONE - "Canada: ' Islamophobia Day'? Are you Kidding?" "In Canada Islamophobia comes in only fourth behind crimes against Blacks, Hispanics and Jews. In Fact the crimes against Muslims have dropped, even though the number of hate crimes have increased" for the other minorities. This is according to the latest Canadian statistics. Still, the Toronto Star Newspaper has printed there is no such evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood exists in Canada, or the U.S.. Accept, the Muslim Brotherhood is in fact in North America. The Toronto Star was getting their information from a Muslim Brotherhood council member, Jamal Badawi. The Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau is being asked by the National Council of Canadian Muslims to designate Jan 29th as "National Day of Remembrance and Action on Islamophobia. BUT, it is felt by non-Muslims that if the PM takes this action it will clearly demonstrate the Muslims ability to "Manipulate the Prime Minister's Office". There is no official day in Canada to recognize the Black, the Hispanics or the Jews, who suffer more hate crimes than the Muslims.
