Ron And His Stories

Not much to say here except that it’s pretty awesome how nothing bad had happened yet (read the rest of the Bible for some good and bad episodes 😅😒) — I don’t know why there were no children yet, but I think Adam and Eve looked like they were the modern age of 23-28 here. And contrary to popular opinion, they weren’t white, either; they were probably Middle Eastern. (By the way, with the four Bibles I’m using for this — NKJV, NASB, the VOICE, and the Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) — the pages for this chapter are from pages 1-2 on the first two versions I’m using, then pages 3-4 on the other two.) There’s two trees (no vegetation had sprung up yet; see verse 5), the tree of life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. What do you think would’ve happened if we had taken the tree of life first? I can scarcely imagine any different perspective on this. I can’t understand what God would’ve said to them. And before anyone asks me something about sovereignty of God, here’s my only answer: being first in rank. That’s it. It really sickens me how badly this word has been abused across many churches. The one I go to never does this. I think the global Church can learn something from the lead pastor of my young adult group, Awaken. (My church’s name is Two Rivers Church. But I won’t say anything concerning a denomination here.)

Anyway, creation looked and was glorious. What a shame Eden is paradise lost, now (see Genesis 3:22-24), even to this day. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make more awesome getaways to refresh our souls, seeing that we were born to glorify Jesus with good works, even something as simple yet difficult as building a hotel partly underwater. Don’t let the good things distract you, though. It is very expensive to even get there, even if you’re just saving up for Disneyland, with or without a hotel. I live in Arizona, and I work at a Fry’s store, so it’s literally not gonna happen with my wages. Not that I don’t like my job, though… I do think you can be a blessing to someone anywhere, even just by showing up. People are lovely. That’s what God believes.

I have more to say on this chapter, so I’ll make a few more notes, each on specific verses or passages. Besides, I said this is a short post (sort of), so I’ll talk later.

I like what the editor said there. I hadn’t thought to coin mankind as the crown of God’s creation (for Jesus is the Uncreated One). I just wish no one got conceited because of this, yet I don’t think hubris is God’s intent for anything, including making another human being, as if He wanted me or anyone else to become gods. That’d be weird, don’t you think? Yet I’ve met people who have said they were Jesus. And I thought they were more or less hubristic or something. But even so, no one should assume they know something when they don’t (1 Corinthians 8:2). The note I read in the VOICE version is found in page 3 there, and it’s in between verses 28 and 29.

I think we don’t understand anything about what it means to be human, to do good to all creation and to each other. I wish we could get along better (some just don’t want to); indeed, Christmas is just 23 days away. Fortunately, hate is forgivable, but it’s always un-Christian, for 1 John 3:15 says that all who hate a believer in Christ is a murderer, and that no one who does this has eternal life abiding in them. And speaking of Christmas, I realized a few days ago that many who are fear-mongering about the war on Christmas actually create hostility against Christmas itself, though they probably know about Jesus being the reason for the season. It doesn’t have to be this way (everyone celebrates it differently anyway), but offence is rich in many parts of the world, especially when someone uses God’s Name to stir up discord among friends and family. I’ve seen that happen in my life before, but I don’t want to go into details now. I think that Christmas — and also Easter/Resurrection Sunday, being three to four months apart depending on the lunar cycle — are supposed to be used as opportunities to reach out to the unsaved in large capacities. They don’t have to be the only days to do it, but no one needs to worship the days themselves, and that can actually be pretty easy to do. But worship of something other than God, while also un-Christian, is also forgivable; I just wish no one chose that over Him.

But there will come a day when a great tribulation lasting for seven years (as prophesied in Daniel and Revelation, and some other parts of Scripture) begins by surprise, starting with all Jesus-lovers being raptured out of this world unexpectedly by God’s command to Jesus taking up His Bride who had accepted Him by then, and are also still alive at that point (1 Thessalonians 4:17). (Sorry for the run-on sentence format 😂🤣!) I don’t know exactly why God predicted this would happen, but I don’t believe He wants it to take place. I don’t want to get into it now anyway. I always have frustration with others who preach judgment rather than the love of Jesus that everyone should know about, especially in His sacrifice for all mankind. I think a reason God had sent Him into this world is to reaffirm His love for every human being. I have a niece (she’s my brother’s infant daughter), and I don’t want her to be frightened by anything. Even as I write, I pray she enjoys a beautiful first Christmas this month, and also when I see her Christmas morning. I don’t mind if I don’t make it to the Rapture, but I’d love for my niece to never experience death. And the women in our families can live to be longer than a hundred (my mom’s maternal grandmother is at least 103 and is still living). But the men in my gene pool, we aren’t so fortunate. My dad’s parents died in their 70s, with my dad himself passing away due to a heart attack at only 55 in 2012. Two of his brothers had died at a relatively young age by means of the same thing, too. And I was younger than twelve in both cases (I’m turning 28 this month). My brother and I could be next in just fifteen years. And he’s only 22. I pray against this assignment that Satan has made in my family line generations ago, and I rebuke the setup he’s made so that it would be gone forever. I don’t want death to have the last word instead of Jesus, so that no one else could live without Him in Heaven and later in New Jerusalem (I’m the first to become Christian among my family members in ages, though many have faked it over the centuries). I want to be around my niece long enough so that I’m not dead by the time she has children of her own, if she’s interested in that 😅 — but I want children of my own, too. I’m still a single bachelor, by the way 😅

I’ll speak with you later!

I only just learned about man’s dominion that God gave us all a few years ago. I don’t know how many people teach this, but it’s pretty awesome to know that God gave Adam and Eve and all their descendants (including you and me) authority over creation. We gave it to Satan when we sinned in the Garden of Eden (3:6), but Jesus took it back from him (Matthew 28:18). I don’t know why anyone could believe otherwise. My main problem is that politics has interfered with everything, and if you don’t have excellent discernment about it, starting with at least knowing that people shouldn’t be divisive or tyrannical in anything, you will likely struggle. I think it’s better to mirror Heaven on Earth, just as Jesus prayed that God’s will be done here on Earth as it is in Heaven (Matthew 6:10).

Also, I’ve been told that Genesis 1:29 tells us of plants being given to all man, and that marijuana is one of them. That last part is a lie, for though the verse is true in every way, marijuana is not God’s invention, nor is tobacco. “All things are lawful, but all things are not helpful” (1 Corinthians 6:12a, NKJV), right? I think those two things (and many other perversions of creation) have been manipulated out of the good by Satan. You don’t see someone smoking an actual tree bark like it’s a blunt, right? You don’t see maple leaves rolled up like cigarettes or other similar things and chainsmoked by the hundreds one at a time, right? I’m sure some people do this, but all of it is forgivable. It’s not as though anyone can reject the Lord Jesus by accident, right? I definitely don’t think it’s even possible for someone to go to Hell without them being given any chances to repent and believe in Him. God has no pleasure in anyone going there anyway (Ezekiel 18:32). The idea that God condemns those who have never heard Jesus’ message of salvation is an absolute sham, too, a deception of the evil one. But I won’t explain it now. By the way, this six-verse passage is found in page 1 both in the NKJV and NASB Bibles I’m using, page 3 of the VOICE copy I have, and pages 2-3 of the Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) that I bought some years ago. Oh, and one more thing: be prepared for me mentioning that a certain Scripture is used to manipulate people in a huge degree on many occasions.

See you in chapter 2!

I’ve read once that the Hebrew for “day” can mean any unspecified period of time, from as short as like a second or two to as long as hundreds or even many millions of years. It’s not my job to correct things as if I were an enforcer, though. I’m not interested in being a theological policeman. I do know man was created last (1:26-31, compare with other verses in the Bible’s first chapter), however. But I don’t want to debate with anyone concerning creationism vs. evolutionism; it never really works and is completely fruitless. For while I believe in good theology, we can’t force our opinions down anyone’s throats. I think Jesus is perfect theology, for He has loved everyone flawlessly since before the events in this book even began. I think there’s a tension between promoting truthful things and doing good works, but they should go hand-in-hand. If you want to go more in detail about this, I recommend talking to a professional theologian concerning anything on how the universe began, for I can only say so much. Besides, I can’t assume that because evening and morning (in that order) make up a 24-hour day, we should go to sleep as soon as sunset happens. I think we should feel free to go to sleep and wake up at anytime! But I don’t recommend missing out on anything important (i.e. work, job interviews, a Sunday church service that actually helps, etc.). Still, I have been told that waking up at, like, 7 a.m. is quite normal. However, this isn’t what God calls everyone to do. There is a vast expanse of lifestyles in which we can only see slivers of, and here on earth, we can only see part of God’s reality due to our actions disrupting creation from Adam and Eve’s disobedience (Romans 5:12) up to now. I am strongly against divisive opinions that go against freedom of concept when the concepts are good. I’m not willing to believe these opinions.

If there’s anything you can take away from this, it’s that no one deserves to be restricted in anything good. The Lord Jesus died so we can be free, right? But this isn’t freedom to sin, as if God’s grace somehow gave license for that. Instead, I can decipher that just as good predated evil in every form (and even after the fall, good wasn’t eliminated entirely), so we were created wanting to do good and nothing but. That’s what every Christian wants, male or female (Proverbs 11:23). We can do good things at the wrong time, though, and even want to do them at bad times, not understanding that it’s not the best method on God’s time table. Thank God you don’t have to understand everything as well as He does, though. It’s not as though He demands perfection anyway. He’s more so interested in each person, and all people across time itself accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Not that we shouldn’t learn new things; we just can’t do it all at once. Also, both the NKJV and NASB Bibles I’m using have this passage in page 1 of each of them, and the VOICE has this passage in pages 2-3 there, and the Amplified Bible I’m using — that’s for pages 1-3 there. By the way, creation began on a Saturday evening (as we know it today) — Sunday is the first day of the week, and creation was finished on a Friday afternoon, when man came into play. I don’t know why the day format was listed as evening then morning here, but there are many ways you can define a day in a certain 24-hour period, one being the day beginning at sunrise, and ending the next sunrise the next day. I’ll get into the whole “let man rule” thing sooner or later, but not in this post.

Ciao!

Glad to write again! I just woke up about two and a half hours ago (I wasn’t in the mood to use this laptop earlier), but I think the things Moses (the author according to tradition) writes about here are so good it’s not even funny! Here, we see that creation was not only good, but that no one had ever sinned before. The second chapter is mostly dedicated to God fashioning man out of dirt (and the first woman ever from the man’s rib), but I don’t want to talk too much on either chapter here, for I want to be, for the most part, balanced in what I write. And you’ve noticed that I’m writing on some of the same chapters more than once. Spoiler alert: it won’t be the last time I do this. I won’t make the same note on the exact same Scriptural passage more than once per round of Bible notes, but I will cover different Bible verses each time.

Anyway, creation was not only good, but blessed by God Himself and was literal paradise on Earth! I think that’s really hard to pull off nowadays, seeing that sin had entered the world and, since we’ve all sinned before (Romans 3:23), whether we have Jesus and Lord and Saviour in our lives or not, a good, trusting scenario can easily be obliterated. Just think of Laish that people of Israel invaded in the later verses of Judges 18: the people that had lived in Laish were all living securely, and I imagine they enjoyed peace across the community. But when Israel pillaged the town, everyone was killed, and they renamed it Dan. And I don’t think God had commanded them to eliminate those people, either. Those awesome people had no suspicion of any ruthlessness attacking them. They just wanted to promote something good. But what did they believe? I don’t have an answer to that, but the Lord God knows, so I think you can ask Him. Also, Newtown, Connecticut suffered a similar fate in December 2012 when a gunman mercilessly killed over 20 children (most of whom being kindergarteners) and a teacher that, if I remember correctly, was protecting some students in her classroom. I can’t even begin to think how super-mad I was and how much of a train wreck I felt when this happened. And here’s another thing: the gunman worshiped Satan, so I don’t think he’s interested in Jesus (though He does not command to attack anyone — I know I’m not interested in hurting any souls). None of us suspected that he would do this sort of thing, I think. As for what the people wanted after that, though, I don’t want to address that now. A third scenario I can bring up is this: God even prophesied in Ezekiel 38 that people from Gog (the land of western Russia) would attack others (probably the Israelites) who dwell securely and without borders. I think they would be driven into a panic if that happened. You notice a pattern? Satan loves to attack those who want peace across the entire planet, and the kind that the world doesn’t give, but Christ’s (John 14:27) — for Jesus alone can give the kind of peace and love that lasts, and forever, too.

I can talk all day about how the security and trust can be established, but can also be broken very easily. Too often it never recovers. I think the people just don’t want to risk any beautiful blessing being broken again. Thankfully, we won’t have to even think about bad stuff happening in the future when New Jerusalem is established and creation renewed, if anyone is in Christ, of course. Maybe when I’m further along in this round of Bible notes and can bring up some Scriptures that will help me (and you) understand what’s going on, I’ll explain it to you further, but for now, I’ll just conclude this with the fact that the story begins here, in Genesis 1. Many people who have read the Bible would say that because sin has entered the world, we can’t live out a good or even a decent life where the scenarios of communal trust and security can happen. I say different! For sin didn’t predate anything in creation, as we can see here (though 2 Corinthians 4:6 is an interesting paraphrase of Genesis 1:3, according to a comment in the New Oxford Annotated Bible I had discovered). Not even Satan, when he was known as Lucifer, was created with any sin, but as you might be aware, fell from heaven when he led a rebellion with a third of God’s angels that he had convinced to join him. It was only God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, before He created anything. Funny enough, He’s thought of all of us (that includes you, the reader) before even that happened. I’m glad He’s had me in mind before time began. It’s the same for you, too.

Well, I go to work in a little over three hours, so I’ll get back on here later.

Be encouraged,

Ron Outland

P.S. I forgot to mention that I’m still using the NKJV, NASB (1995), the VOICE, and the Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) for this note, and these chapters are in pages 1-2 (NKJV and NASB (1995); these are pages 1-2 in the Old Testament for the latter), pages 2-4 of the VOICE (including notes in that one, which I won’t get to now), and pages 1-4 of the Amplified Bible (also with notes, which I won’t get to right now, either). Forgive me if I lose track on some of them; it’s a big load of work. I guess it’s a good thing I’m not doing more than four at once! 😅

This first portion of Genesis tells us of how God made everything in just six days (He rested on the seventh day; see 2:3). Everything was perfect, but sin came in. It devolved, figuratively speaking, everything but God, and… well, if you read these chapters, you can see for yourself. The NKJV Bible I have has this passage on pages 1-6 there, the NASB (1995) Bible I have has this passage on pages 1-8 (Old Testament) there, the VOICE has this on pages 2-13 (with notes) there, and the Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) has this on pages 1-14 there. I’m sure it’s different if you have smaller or larger print and/or if the page size differs between your copy and mine (again, I claim no ownership of any translation). I’ve thought of making a translation of my own one day with its own comments, but I don’t want to presume anything that the Holy Spirit hasn’t spoken concerning this, so ‘nuf said.

I don’t have much time left before I go to work (I clock in at 3 p.m., fourteen hours from now), so I won’t say much else. If you’re curious about where I work, you can ask me via comments or Facebook messages. I’m debating about opening my e-mail to the same thing, but I’m leaning towards using it exclusively for business (i.e. job interviews) and any social media profiles I have. I also do not want to accept money for this website, for I’m sharing the word of God here, and I will NEVER use the Bible to make a profit so I can walk on people’s backs. Sure, it says to make a living out of the gospel in 1 Corinthians 9:14, but no one should be in a hurry to get rich.

As I’ve said before, there are some controversial topics in this first part of the beginning of the Bible. I don’t want to get into any of them now, but I think it’s important to remember that the Church and the cultures around the world shouldn’t do any non-stop clashing with each other, nor should anyone be Pharisaic (“Pharisees” means “separate ones”) and become self-righteous about anything. Jesus never sinned, but He didn’t even get self-righteous! Now that’s what I call outstanding! But what do you think He would say to a world filled with religiously inspired hatred? Let me know in the comments, and if you want to follow me on this, you can! This is Ron Outland, signing out.

I love this first book of the Bible. There is a lot of debate about the first 11 chapters (which I will get to on the next note), and I won’t be able to cover everything on here, since I know you can just look into a study Bible you have that works, so, ‘nuf said.

Anyway, the evolution and Big Bang theories you’ve heard about… they don’t appear here or anywhere else in the Bible. Thank God that such beliefs are not unforgivable, though. There is a lot of fierce oratories about creationism, and most of them are very unforgiving, since, if I’m not mistaken, we’ve all believed something unbiblical about this book at one point or another. I won’t talk about atheism right now, though, for I’m not a fan of such belief systems. I myself have never been interested in atheism, since, as you are probably aware, many people who openly believe it do depraved stuff. I don’t want to talk about it now, though. Instead, I’d like to point out that much of what the Old Testament which was written, seeing that we now recognize as Scripture (this is the first book of the Pentateuch, by the way; it’s Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, in that order) — much of it was spoken orally. Moses wrote a majority of these five books, but he may not have been the only one composing them. There is a good outline for this and each of the other books in the Amplified Bible. But I think of Jacob’s story being in chapters 27-36 (concluding with Esau and his family) and Joseph’s story being in chapters 37-50. And all the Bibles I am using for this multi-translation project each have this book being on page 1.

Again, I do not claim being an expert on anything, nor do I wish to. I believe that when someone does this, believing they have all the answers mirrors the reality of Romans 1:22, “Claiming to be wise, they became fools” (NASB) — though I have said things like this once or twice, but didn’t believe the lie of knowing everything. That truth, knowing everything, belongs to God alone (1 John 3:20). But I don’t plan on dividing any book into certain sections as to how it “should be,” each book, chapter, or even verse can be written in parts, no matter how small or big. I’m also not using any traditional study Bibles for this, yet I do respect the people’s work. Still, not everything in the comments on the chapters and verses of each book may be true. In fact, some can be so obscene they make you want to fire up your car, drive as fast as you can to the editor’s house, and crash through their bedrooms! But I don’t encourage doing that — the Holy Spirit doesn’t condone or encourage violence. Yet just by me saying this, you’d think, “Well, Ron, why then did God do so many brutal acts across Scripture?” Well, I can’t give a concise answer for that. But this much I know: wrath is not God’s heart. Instead, He loves everybody. I do recognize the need to pursue holiness along with peace with everyone (Hebrews 12:14), though.

As I write, I listen to the rain falling down on the house I pay my friend, Jonathan, to live in. I love a good rainfall, for I live in a desert, and Genesis begins with creation and God saying that it is good, especially when He brings humans into the picture (Genesis 1:31). I rest my case.

See my next post for more about chapters 1-11 (at once)!

Here’s something you may not know about me: I have yet to celebrate my tenth anniversary of becoming Christian (my conversion date was July 16, 2009). As a result, I’ve been reading several Bible translations from start to finish since then, but I’ve only made notes on one so far, and it was one that I hadn’t even heard of. I bought two copies of the New Oxford Annotated Bible (NRSV) for my first ever round of Bible notes (I was separated from one of them for almost a year), and I still have both with me in my room. I’ve already read the NKJV, and that was from 2011-2012. I’m reading the NASB (1995) and the Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) at the same time, but I’m not actually finished with either of them. I’ve also read many passages in the VOICE translation, but I’ve never actually read it thoroughly, nor have I read all the notes. Like I said on my previous post, I wish to be respectful towards everyone, for no one should be sinned against in a way that literally makes them fear for their lives.

Again, the NKJV is the only one of the four I’ve read from start to finish so far. The NRSV was a blind run, like when someone on YouTube posts a series of videos about a certain game they hadn’t ever played (they call it a blind playthrough). But I’ve read some passages from each of the translations; I’ve only finished one of them so far. I’ve read four Bible versions from front to back since becoming Christian in 2009, and the other three I will soon get started with will be versions 5-7. I’ve never been fluent in a foreign language, by the way (I live in the U.S.A.), so if you see me get lost in translation on something, that’s ok; we’re all learning new things every day. I’ve also never left the country before, even just to visit Mexico or something (I’m in Arizona). But if you’re reading this and don’t understand English, that’s ok, too; you can just change the translation to whatever language you understand best. I do hope to go through a translation in a language I’ve never been fluent in (which is literally everything but my native tongue), but I’m on the fence about putting notes about it on here.

Like I said, I’m learning as I go along, and I knew almost nothing about the Bible or even Jesus before I became Christian despite my church upbringing. Also, though it’s been over nine years since then and I’ve wanted to hear what other parts of the churches of the world were saying (along with the Holy Spirit’s word through someone), I’m not a Bible interpreting professional, so bear with me, now. For translation history, you can just look online, but be wary of how anything can be translated, for this world has lots of false prophets claiming to know everything (I know I don’t). If you see a phrase in the Old Testament such as “I create calamity” (see Isaiah 45:7), take note that the Hebrew is awkward with all such phrases when translated into anything we see in English today. Shoutouts to the people who worked on the HCSB translation when it was still being written! 🤩😊✔ And speaking of translations, the emoji you just saw, there’s an Emoji Bible, too, but I won’t cover through that now.

I forgot to mention that the Amplified Bible I have has some comments of its own, as well as some introductions to each book. I believe that, for the most part, it is reliable. If I disagree with something anyone says, I always share an opinion that I believe would be helpful, and, spoiler alert, you can find me doing that from time to time. But most of the notes on both the Amplified Bible and VOICE translations are pretty solid, yet I may or may not write on all of them. The NKJV and NASB (1995) Bible I have — those have no notes. And I don’t intend to write any comments on anything as if I had published them with the Bibles in any translation. I do not take credit for anyone else’s work. Also, you may even see me point out a translation error in something. Take note: no translation is perfect, no matter what the language. But if someone is trying to edit the Word as if the 66 books weren’t written correctly, they are publishing deception, and no one should experience that, for it can and probably will lead to ruin for even the most seasoned of Bible scholars. By the way, I am not a Bible scholar, either.

With all this out of the way, let’s begin with Genesis!

Thanks for joining me!

Hello, and welcome to my online Bible notes blog/website! My name is Ron Outland, and I’m happy to be here! For my first round of my online Bible notes from start to finish (spoiler alert: it won’t be the last, God-willing), I’ll be using four translations at once. They will be the NKJV, NASB (1995), the VOICE, and the Amplified Bible (Classic Edition), and all of them are in English. Now if you’ve known me for a few years up until this point, I had done a round of Bible notes on sticky notes (Genesis to Acts), on one of my laptops that I think are now obsolete (Romans to 2 Peter), and also on college-ruled paper (1 John to Revelation). I did that with the New Oxford Annotated Bible from August 2012 (I was starting my fourth year of college during that time) to just last month, October 2018, and it was the NRSV the entire time.

DISCLAIMER: I do not claim to be a preacher of any kind, nor do I even try to pass off deception as if it were truth. I do not have a license to run a church or anything like that; I was just sharing my thoughts across these notes while being as honest as I could and being repentant of any errors I had made when I discovered them. I do not intend to mislead anyone. I don’t want anyone to read these notes as if they were Scripture, either; I just thought they’d be helpful over the years. This website is going to be the same thing, but this time, I’ll write as I read four translations at once. Also, the VOICE translation has notes of its own; I thought I’d write on some of those notes, too. However, I don’t plan to write on all of them, nor do I intend to write on every last verse; the amount of verses and/or chapters I write on can fluctuate, but I don’t think I’ll need to write on more than one book at the same time.

The Bible has 66 books, and I’ll be going through each of them on here. Another thing is that I don’t want to rebuke anyone unjustly, and I strongly believe that bashing someone is a definite no-no. I tend to avoid controversial topics most of the time anyway, especially politics, for I’m not willing to risk anyone feeling condemned or getting offended for any reason. Also, I’ve never made a Bible translation, and I don’t intend on doing that on here, either. However, I do want to share some words in the original languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek) that these 66 Bible books were written in, and also translate some of these words for you guys to encourage you for something you might need to hear. I believe God wanted me to start this website for your benefit. For any other things you want to talk to me about, you can message me on Facebook, because I don’t want to make this post too long. No one can talk about everything in one post anyway. This is simply an introduction to a beautiful journey that I think you’ll enjoy.

Again, I won’t be able to cover everything in one post, or one round of Bible notes, or even an entire website in any specified amount of time. The Lord God alone knows everything (1 John 3:20). I’ll just be learning as I go along these projects. Post length can vary, but I have no desire or plans to make it super-long and drawn out for you. It’d be pretty boring that way, and I don’t think God likes boredom. Also, any hate comments will not be tolerated.

One more thing: I will be using some of my other Bible notes I have written either on a sticky note or on paper or in my obsolete laptop (if I can find the data; the laptop I’m using to write this on now is a Windows 10) to look to for some further information, for I can forget things so easily, but I do my best to be as responsible as I can. Not to worry, God can help you and anyone else with any situation, and He can forgive even your greatest mistakes.

Be blessed,

Ron Outland
