7-07-2017 Regrets of old

I do like this format so much better than Facebook. I can just talk freely here without worrying about other people's reactions. My doctor told me that I need to live in the here and now and after I confront the past I need to forget it. I think that's easier said than done. Also not to worry about what the future holds. I just wonder a lot about a lot of different things.
I love my daughter. She is my only biological child and I see myself in her eyes. I worry about what I may have passed down to her and her sons. I don't really know how to be a father. My Dad provided for us but I never received any emotional support from him. I never really knew how he felt about me because he never told me. Dana and I never had the chance to bond as Father and Daughter. That was my fault and I think she understands now why that didn't happen. I don't think that we will never have a parent-child relationship. Too many years have passed too many memories never made to make that possible. I am trying to include her and her family in my life and family activities. I don't really know how close she really wants to get to me or the rest of the Martinat family. I try to put myself in her place and how I would feel if the situation was reversed. I don't think I would have been able to be so forgiving. My problem is I can't forgive myself. How do you even start to undo years of being nothing to someone. I wonder if she ever hated me for leaving her mom and her. I hate myself for what I did and I probably always will. It makes me angry when I think of all the memories that I missed out on and my parents never got to know her or the boys. I wonder if she misses not having those memories with me also. I push too hard sometimes. I wonder if I have already pushed too hard too quickly. I'm glad all the ugly details of the past are now in the open. I kept all those feelings and emotions hidden for so many years. I do feel like a burden has been lifted but there is still an emptiness there and I'm not sure how to feel it up with something good. My birthday is on the 18th of this month I wanted to get the family together for a Hallmark moment but that was just a delusion. I don't know if I will do anything now to celebrate it. Maybe it will just go away. My doctor said that I run from or just ignore unpleasant things. He's right that's what I do. Is it really worth facing it. I don't know. I guess I'll continue to wonder.

Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance

Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles, Wilfred Hahn Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Reviewing the “facts” that we cited in Part 1, we noted the hyperbole and downright dishonesty in some instances to support global warming claims. Why is there such bias? Money Precedes Truth Global warming has become big business. Armies of global consultants are peddling false information because it is profitable to do so. Many claimed urgencies are exaggerated by factors of 10X … indeed, 200X in some instances and more. Governments are particularly susceptible to this hype, promising infrastructure programs estimated to cost upwards of trillions of dollars. According to a new report,1 an estimated $3.4 trillion will be invested in renewable energy during the next decade, including $2.72 trillion in wind and solar. By 2030, 54.1% of installed capacity will be renewable (including hydropo

9-16-23 It Is Coming

It Is Coming :: By Daymond Duck Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Daymond Duck, General Articles On Dec. 17, 2022, it was reported that Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, has introduced legislation to permanently bar former Pres. Trump from running for president again, and 40 Democrats have signed on. Cicilline is accusing Trump of orchestrating an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. At the time of this writing, it is debatable as to whether Cicilline’s legislation will get voted on before the new Congress takes office in 2023, but some conservatives have said from the beginning that the main purpose of the Jan. 6 fake show-trial was to stop Trump from being elected again. Some, including this writer, have said there is no telling what the U.S. shadow government will do to prevent making America great again (MAGA) because they want to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order (coming world government). It was easy to see this coming, and
