I have been praying...

...that when I am finally married, that God will be there and help me every step of the way - because I know I will need it! In fact, I pray I will have all the help I will need - and I think that will be a lot!

Love,

Daniel

I must say...

...giving out those tracts was not something I want to live through again. I wound up leaving them on a bench in a shelter at City Hall C-Train Station; and I pray that they helped people, in Jesus' name, amen!

Love,

Daniel

Can ye pray for me?

I have eight more "tracts" to distribute, but I feel shy. I put a personal note at the beginning and end of each one, though, and signed them (and all the notes were different - I didn't "copy" from one tract to the next).

Love,

Daniel

Here is the tract: - revised

“WAcH OUT!”

FORNICATION, DRUNKENNESS, VIOLENCE, AND THE LOVE OF MONEY!

          I ONCE SAW A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT A BRIDGE THAT HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT BY AN OFf-COURSE BARGE. The barge had RAMMED into AND DESTROYED ONE OF THE BRIDGE PIERS – CAUSING THE BRIDGE COLLAPSE. As a result, VEHICLES WERE DRIVING OVER THE BRIDGE AND PLUMMETTING INTO THE WATER BELOW. The bridge had been “wached out!”

          ONE MAN, however, RAN TO WHERE THE VEHICLES WERE COMING FROM, AND SHOT UP A WARNING FLARE. AS I REMEMBER, ONE INDIVUAL WHO WAS DRIVING OVER THE BRIDGE SAW THE FLARE AND SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES… JUST IN TIME. HE SCREECHED TO A HALT JUST BEFORE THE BREAK IN THE BRIDGE.

          I feel like the man who was moved to shoot up that flare. I HAVE NOT LIVED IN CALGARY FOR VERY LONG; BUT I KNOW THAT THE STAMPEDE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CELEBRATIONS HERE in Calgary … in all fairness, NOT EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON at the stampede IS BAD… BUT SOME of it CERTAINLY IS; And, AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT IS GETTING WORSE.

          LAST YEAR, I LEARNED OF SOMETHING THAT SADDENED ME, AND ALERTED ME TO THE FACT THAT THINGS HAD, in fact, GOTTEN REALLY BAD. ONE THING I LEARNED was THAT there HAD BEEN A STABBING.

          However, I also learned of SOMETHING ELSE. SOMETHING THAT I will not MENTION explicitly; BUT IT MADE ME think: there is “no vision.” I am thinking of a verse from “proverbs” in the holy writings, or scriptures, which says:

“where there is no vision, the people perish…”

another way of translating that is

“where there is no vision, the people is…

…made naked…”

          In another place, the scriptures warn:

“Fornicators and adulterers, god will judge.”

          FORNICATION IS WHEN TWO UNMARRIED PEOPLE (USUALLY A MAN AND A WOMAN) KNOW EACH OTHER IN A WAY THAT ONLY A MARRIED MAN AND WOMAN OUGHT TO know each other. AND IT LEADS TO DEATH. AND FORNICATION HAS GOTTEN SO OUT OF HAND THAT, WELL, WHAT I ALLUDED TO ABOVE… HAPPENED! (no, however, fornication is not normal!)

          IT SADDENS ME, BECAUSE THERE IS NO SATISFACTION IN such fornication. NO FULFILLMENT. NO – EVEN – HAPPINESS! ONLY EMPTINESS, BROKENESS, AND EVEN “SHATTERED-NESS”. TWO YOUNG MEN AND ONE YOUNG WOMAN WERE PLUMMETING INTO THE CHASM OF such lonely SHATTERED-NESS. _{(you may not know what I am talking about. If you do not know, I am thankful. The younger you are, however, and the more local you are to calgary, the more likely it is that you do know – and I mourn that fact!)}

        HOW, HOWEVER, DID THINGS COME TO THIS! How did things get this bad? I have not the slightest doubt that “they” were drunk (the people I discreetly alluded to earlier). People: Drunkenness is NOT A GOOD THING! In fact, it is sin. And sin brings death. (by the way, if you want to know what “s-‘I’-n” means, look at the middle letter of the word. It is when we think only of ourselves, and ignore god and the people and creatures around us). Stay away from it!

Again, I recall from “proverbs”:
“³¹Look not thou _{(“thou is the singular, objective, second person pronoun, which we typically replace with “you” these days)} upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth _{(i.e. “gives”)} his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. ³²At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder (a very poisonous snake). ³³Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. ³⁴Yea (i.e. “yes”), thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. ³⁵They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again. (From chapter 23)

          Well, once you are fornicating and you are drunk, violence is is lurking just around the corner.

Proverbs, chapter 1, verses:

10My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

11If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

12Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

13We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

14Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

(…in other words, “we will get rich!” and – hey! That lifestyle is notorious for the amount of money that flows around!...)

15My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

16For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

17Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

18And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

(…in other words, if you were to set a trap in the sight of a bird, of course the bird would see it, and be intelligent enough to avoid the trap – but these people? They are like a bird that gets caught in trap that was set right before its eyes! In other words, sin makes you really stupid…)

19So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

          Lastly, (speaking of being “greedy of gain”) we come to “cutting out the middle man”, and get to the root of all this evil:

First timothy, chapter 6, verses
6But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8And having food and raiment (…or clothing…) let us be therewith content.

(…by the way, isn’t it ironic? Sin deceives us into not being content with the clothes we have… and the next thing we know it… we’re not wearing any clothes! In public!  Again: “WATcH OUT!”)

9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and intomany foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. (… “perdition”, as I understand the term, means being “lost”… and I mean “really lost”! I do not accept, however, the definition of that word, which includes anyone being burned alive for ever in “hel” (also known as “hell”). I consider the teaching of “hel”, in fact, to be, ironically, the source of a lot of this “perdition” we are seeing all around us, and I rebuke the doctrine of eternal conscious torment (a.k.a. “hel”) in Jesus’ name! (“Hel” was the name of the norse, mythological goddess of the dead, and “she” was where we get the English word “hell” from). I think it is god’s will to save the world, and that he is going to actually do it! J)

10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

(“pierced themselves through!” … with “many sorrows.” Again, so sadly accurate! “pierced”, indeed! L)

11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

          You might say, “who, me?” yes! You! Even “thee!”… again, “thou man of god!” That is, however, of course, if not, “woman of god!” Be a man of god! Be a woman of god! It is NEVER TOO LATE! I LOVE YOU! And that is why I say, one last time:
“wach out!” 

Alright...

...enough is enough! I am going to go ahead and start writing that tract, now!...

I think...

...I will start writing the tract now! (If God will, of course).

Love,

Daniel
