The Lord's Prayer

-

Our Father We get to call God "Father" for the first time in History

Who art in Heaven Where He dwells, which defines Heaven, not places God

Hallowed be Thy name Praise Him simply because He is worthy

Thy Kingdom come We aren't asking for it, we're simply agreeing that it will happen

Thy Will be done Again, we aren't making a suggestion, just acknowledging a fact

On Earth as it is in Heaven and asserting that His will is as valid on Earth as in Heaven

Give us this day NOW we petition

Our daily bread for what we need, not want

And forgive us our trespasses and we certainly need forgiveness, received from the outstretched arms on the cross

As we forgive those who trespass against us a reminder that we need to dispense what we receive

Lead us not into temptation God doesn't tempt, but we can ask Him to keep our feet from paths where there is temptation

But deliver us from evil You better ask for this, since evil is looking for you - a spiritual war rages!

For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory Acknowledgement of His authority and worthiness

Forever and ever which means eternally, because they didn't have a bigger number than this


The Lord's Prayer is actually a misnomer. It is the prayer that the Lord Jesus taught His followers when they asked Him to teach them to pray. (They knew prayer was a big part of His life, after all.)

Why I cancelled The Bauman Letter

I signed up for The Bauman Letter, edited by Ted Bauman and read it for a few months. His father is a well-known member of The Sovereign Society and Ted contributed for years. I like Ted's writing style and read his letter for the nuggets of information I could glean. One month he recommended a company in Australia for holding my gold. If I had a hundred grand in gold, maybe I'd go that route. Then again, maybe I'd bury it in the back yard like the old Romans. I cancelled his newsletter after reading his October issue. Ted posted ten pages of glowing prose for the 1291 Group of the Americas . I was impressed by his report and thought this might be a company I could park my IRA with and not worry about it. (We've been burned by local investment advisors who lost large chunks of our investment and still took their overly fair share of fees, so we're hyper-cautious.) Ted especially praised Erika Nolan, the CEO of this prestigious firm. Ted forgot to menti

FBAR Scam, but not illegal

-

FBAR (not to be confused with FUBAR, but the one can lead to the other) is a government required Foreign Bank Account Reporting that you must file if you have one or more foreign bank accounts that total more than $10,000 in assets. It is another of the methods the USA uses to track illegal drug trafficking money. I won't comment on how effective it all is, but there is a sort-of scam you need to be aware of. Yeah, you didn't want to read all that. Here's the scam. If you google FBAR, the very first link reads: Fbar Filing - FinCEN Foreign Bank Accounts Form - eFileFBAR.com and links to www.efilefbar.com. Don't click it! It's a legitimate link and they ask you all the correct FBAR questions. When you finish, they want you to pay them $350 to file for you ! Go to the FREE Government Link The government web site asks exactly the same questions, in exactly the same order and then lets you file for  FREE  with the USA. So what the "efilefbar

Mister BoJangles

I l istened to Mister Bojangles by Bob Dylan the other day as I walked. I wanted to be him, to dance, leap so high and lightly touch down. The song continued and I realized I am his beloved companion, the dog. YOU, Darling, are Mr Bo Jangles. Dance, dear heart. Dance. Then lightly touch down. I love you forever.
