Stocking-Stuffer Stuart!!!



One of my "adopted" big brothers, Stuart V. Goldberg, posted something new at Facebook right on Christmas Day 2018!!!

Because it had been so long since he'd last posted, seeing his new post was (and still is) like being a child again and coming downstairs on Christmas Morning and finding that Santa Claus had left lots of presents under the tree and had filled the stocking(s) I'd hung the night before.

This is as good of a time as any to begin a progressive blog-entry featuring Stuart and to add to it through New Year's Day 2020!!!

Here's the beginning entry:

Think God!!!




This was sent to me as a meme, so I'm copying the words here:


Are you already at home my love?
Sorry to interrupt you at this time.

My name is God.

Why do you not pay more attention to me?
I have protected you since you were born, and I have blessed you.

 I want this message in the whole world before midnight.

 If you do this, I will correct two great mistakes in your life,
and I will help you in something you are needing,
and your next day will be very blessed.
Then send this message to many people.



I have copied every single word of this message but have added punctuation and enhancement in a couple of spots and have arranged it into paragraphs to make it easier to read, internalize, and share.

This is just the beginning of adding to this page.  Will be adding more in the future as I get led to because I believe that it's so important to keep your spiritual station tuned in and keep thinking and thanking God!!!

Just Got Reminded Of Uncle Finley By This...



Here is the comment I posted about this when I shared it on my Timeline at Facebook:

Let me know when they have a special offer of renting this room for the price of a night at Motel 6 -- but don't tell me now, as I can't even afford that at this time.
Anyway, seeing this reminded me of a story I want to include in my memoirs, so I've gone ahead and made a place for it in my blog, Sentimental Journeys.


This blog-entry (begun on Sunday, December 16, 2018) will be added to through Tuesday, July 16, 2019, which will be the 100th anniversary of the birth of my uncle:

Finley Ralph Jobe
Wednesday 7/16/1919 - Friday 5/7/1993

The Santa Gifts Parable

This is how it happened...

I just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed, when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and to my surprise, Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree. He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out. "What are you doing?" I started to ask. The words choked up in my throat, and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone. Gone was the eager, boisterous soul we all know. He then answered me with a simple statement. "TEACH THE CHILDREN!" I was puzzled; what did he mean? He anticipated my question, and with one quick movement brought forth a miniature toy bag from behind the tree. As I stood bewildered, Santa said, "Teach the children! Teach them the old meaning of Christmas. The meaning that now-a-days Christmas has forgotten." Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR TREE and placed it before the mantle. "Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round, depicting the everlasting hope of mankind, all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven." He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant STAR. "Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a Savior for the world, and the star was the sign of fulfillment of His promise." He then reached into his bag and pulled out a CANDLE. "Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of He who displaces the darkness." Once again he reached into his bag and removed a WREATH and placed it on the tree. "Teach the children that the wreath symbolizes the real nature of love. Real love never ceases. Love is one continuous round of affection." He then pulled from his bag an ornament of himself. "Teach the children that I, St. Nick ( Santa Claus ) symbolize the generosity and good will we feel during the month of December." He then brought out a HOLLY LEAF. "Teach the children that the holly plant represents immortality. It represents the crown of thorns worn by our Savior. The red holly represents the blood shed by Him." Next he pulled from his bag a GIFT and said, "Teach the children that God so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten SON..." "Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. "Teach the children that the wise men bowed before the Holy BABE and presented HIM with gold, frankincense and myrrh. We should always give gifts in the same spirit of the wise men." Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a CANDY CANE and hung it on the tree. "Teach the children that the candy cane represents the shepherds' crook. The crook on the staff helps to bring back strayed sheep to the flock. The candy cane is the symbol that we are our brother's keeper." He reached in again and pulled out an ANGEL. "Teach the children that it was the angels that heralded in the glorious news of the Savior's birth. The angels sang 'Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace and good will toward men." Suddenly I heard a soft twinkling sound, and from his bag he pulled out a BELL. "Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell, it should ring mankind to the fold. The bell symbolizes guidance and return." Santa looked back and was pleased. He looked back at me and I saw that the twinkle was back in his eyes. He said, "Remember, teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the center, for I am but a humble servant of the One that is, and I bow down to worship HIM, our LORD, our GOD......🙏🏼🎄🎁👼🏻🌟 ✝️ Praise Jesus!!!
This isn't one of my original stories but, instead, was copied and pasted. I hope you will also keep this going by copying, pasting, and sharing, as it's balm for a weary and hurting world. It needs to be seen by as many people as possible.

Cute!!! Just Cuuuuuuuuute!!!

No purpose to this progressive blog-entry other than just to share cute stuff with you.  Will be posting cute stuff here through March 23, 2019, which will be the 66th anniversary of the birth of:

Michael Steven Clem

March 23, 1953 - May 31, 1969
 who was the first person (though not the last) who told me that I overused the word "cute."

I first shared the following cutie on December 13, 2016 -- which was the day after my goddaughter, Michelle, got me hooked up to the Internet here at my current home.

This was the first time for me to have Internet service through cable since the operating system of my computer went south on or around June 25 of 2013, which was not quite three months before I joined the homeless population on September 9 of that same year.

My TV (which comes with a story of its own that I'll share in time) was already hooked up to cable, and I was enjoying watching holiday movies on The Hallmark Channel.  It was great to be getting parts of my life back that had been temporarily-removed.

Of course, there were so many ways that I'd never go home again except in memory, but there were also new parts of my life to celebrate.  But more about this at a later time.  For now, just scroll on down and enjoy this heartmeltingly-adorable picture...

Steve The Graveyard Guy!!!



On Thursday, December 6, 2018, I stumbled upon the following video



while visiting YouTube in search of something else.

I was both impressed with the video itself and how the one who created this interacted with viewers who left comments for him.

He identified himself as The Graveyard Guy (and, in his About section) revealed that his name is Steve.

Anyway, I think he and his mission needs to be high-fived and shouted-out, so I'm dedicating this page in my blog to doing just that and will be adding more to it later.

Here's the first Tweet I made about him, which is how I'll end this initial introduction:
