Twice (Poem)

 

TWICE

by Laura-Lee Rahn

Machines Poised to take us over

Jew-hating maniacs on every corner

Queens declaring “Off with their heads!”

Our elderly killed in Government beds

Babies ripped from wombs for money

While Government Babies  ‘spit the dummy’

Little Ones ... (Panting…Pause)

Little ones  chained and raped

Justice killed.Truth faked.

You like it here? Fine. Stay put!

Fast asleep and covered in soot.

But THIS is not MY Home

When Jesus calls I'm SO Gone!

You like it here? You think it's nice?

Fine. But when Jesus calls me it won't be twice.

"My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am"

John 14:2-3

"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

Luke 21:28

Meant to Be Here

 These photos of a Mongoose doing battle with a King Cobra are totally real. This small animal has very thick skin and is immune to snake venom. Perfectly designed for this specific task. 

The Mongoose became my personal mascot as I sought criminals and "MOMgoose" stuck as my professional moniker. Not exactly what I had planned to be when I was a little girl, but  I can see how the Lord was using the incidents in my life to train and lead me to be what I am.

Esther was  created for her time period and I was created for these End Times. You are too or you wouldn't be here.

What skills and abilities do you have that may seem  unusual or maybe even burdensome, but that God may use to do all sorts of amazing things in these dark and difficult days?

Why don't you ask Jesus about this directly? I bet He's got all sorts of "interesting" 😉 things for you to do. 

As for me, my plans to be a Veterinarian/Ballerina/Forest Ranger  just weren't meant to be. 🤷‍♀️

I made this image (with the help of AI) in honor of all my pets that were forced to watch me dance even when they were trying to nap.

(YES❗️I'm looking at YOU MONTY.) 🤨

60 Minutes of Sinning with Martyn Iles

Martyn Iles is currently giving a series of Podcast Sermons through his online Podcast, "At the Crux".

What we DON'T see is that his recent sermons were recorded while he was on  a Royal Carribean Cruise ship traveling to a PRIVATE Island in the Bahamas with 100 hardcore, rich fellow Answers in Genesis supporters and friends of Ken Ham from Jackson Hole Bible College. 

(JHBC is a Front for an AiG retreat in Wyoming where the Elite AiG Cult leaders can Fish and Hunt and be surrounded by nubile teenage girls to do their bidding, which is run by Don Landis, who is also the Chairman of the Board for Answers in Genesis).

Martyn lectures us for an hour about how WE need to "KILL Sin" in our lives and to avoid "all lusts of the flesh and lusts of the eye", and then goes with his young friends from JHBC  to spend an Evening in the Dazzle Lounge.

Immediately upon returning home, Martyn sends out an email to his main supporters pleading that he needs $200,000 by the end of June to keep developing his secret AI Educational project at the Technology Lab at Cedarville University in Ohio, which is also part of the AiG Cult network.

The reason Martyn's AI

Curriculum and Educational platform is so desperately needed❓️

"BeCooze" young people are leaving the church in droves and we need to embrace more Technology to win them back.

No, Martyn. We need to embrace more INTEGRITY to win them back because right now all you're offering them is to be the servants to privileged, white HYPOCRITES❗️

I've been a Christian for 49 years and even I am looking for the Emergency Exit to get away from people like you!

You keep telling us how your entire family are all wonderful Christians who are serving the Lord. What do they think of all of this?💁‍♀️

"My family always supports everything I do." (- Martyn Iles)

🤔 Ah. So basically they are "applauding you all the way to hell." -M.I.

(So much for the mighty Iles family integrity.)🤷‍♀️

You know, I was going to mention the Pedophiles at Answers in Genesis again in the hopes it might motivate somebody to finally make some kind public statement about them, but dealing with these awful people wearies me so I'll save it for another time.

But for now, whatever you do, DON'T give them more of your hard earned money! They're all rich enough!

Gammie's Grit

 In my large, French Canadian family most of the grandmothers adopt a nick name. My grandmother's nickname is “Gammie”. Now if this moniker conjures up an image of a plump, little cookie-baking granny you would be wrong. Gammie was tall, thin, somewhat stern and had a double dose of 

GRIT❗️

In 1947, not too long after my grandfather returned from World War 2, he abandoned Gammie and his three children, which included his eldest daughter, Faye, my mother, Irene and his young son Harvey. I don't think Gammie minded him leaving because he was beating her, but it meant she had to be the source of everything for her children.

Before the winter of 1947 came Gammie had secured the use of a small, abandoned barn for her little brood to live in. It had no electricity or running water, but it had a wood burning stove and so they set up house.

 Before the snow came they had harvested from their small garden and Gammie had a large wood pile for the wood cook stove.

Mom says she remembers two things very distinctly about that time period. One, how COLD it was when the snow came and two, the big muscles on Gammie's right arm from all the wood chopping she had been doing.

But at the end of November, deep into a Canadian winter (when average temperatures are -20 Celcius and there is a meter of snow on the ground), Mom, Uncle Harvey and Auntie Faye all developed some kind of horrible skin infection. There was no doctor available in the Canadian north, but they did have a District Nurse.

So Gammie bundled up her three children and they walked to the nearest farm to ask someone to contact the nurse. Then they went back to their barn. Gammie was carrying my 2 year old uncle in her arms and Mom at 5 years old and Auntie Faye at 7 years old plodded behind.

The District Nurse came to their barn two days later carrying a hard brush (Mom said it was like the kind you would scrub a floor with) and a big can of something that had a spout on it. This was the cure for their skin infection that had by that time become even worse and covered all three children from head to toe.

Here's what Gammie had to do and she did it to Faye first.

She would add wood to the stove and carry bucket after bucket of snow in to melt so she could fill the big wash tub and give each child a bath.

She would soak them in the tub to moisten the old, dead skin then take the scrub brush and remove it all until she had gotten down to fleshy, pink skin again. Then she had to liberally douse them with the contents of the can the District Nurse had brought, which turned out to be Kerosene ❗️

Then everything had to be cleaned and disinfected before she moved on to the next child so the infection wouldn't spread.

Each child had to have this done TWICE a day, EVERY day for TWO weeks.

When I heard this story for the first time I had the benefit of being in a room with Gammie, Auntie Faye, Mom and Uncle Harvey all present (although Uncle Harvey understandably had no conscious memory of it).

When I was alone with Mom later I asked her (gently) if she screamed from the pain it caused her.

“No. I never made a sound. I didn't want Harv to be frightened.”

So I think Gammie isn't the only one in my family with grit. 🤨

Through the years I gleaned more tidbits of details about those events until one day alone with Gammie I came right out and asked her how she got through it. I guess I figured she had some kind of secret emotional formula.

She simply said, “I got through it because I had no choice but to get through it. The only thing under my control was if I responded with faith or bitterness at what Life had handed me.”

When I was completely paralyzed in 2019 with apparently no hope for a cure, Gammie's words came back to me.

We are often handed things in life that are well beyond our control, but what we will always have is the freedom to choose our response.

To respond with faith or with bitterness at what we've been given.

(I hope I made you proud, Gammie. 😔)

Speculating About the Bible

My hometown of Edmonton, smack-dab in the center of the Province of  Alberta, was founded on the fact that someone discovered GOLD in the North Saskatchewan River (NO❗️I'm NOT going to tell you how to pronounce that. 😆) which flows from the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

When I was a kid I often saw historical photos of people panning for Gold in the Edmonton River Valley.

I would sit in the River Valley and imagine the decades stripped away and wonder what life was like for those FIRST "Edmontonians" speculating for Gold.

Probably muddy, back breaking work. No indoor plumbing. No home but a tent or shack. No wife. No kids. Just men driving themselves to exhaustion at the merest hope of striking it rich. 

(I'm sure they had NO idea they were beginning a city and influencing a future culture.)

In my life I've read literally thousands of Christian Novels and something Christian writers LOVE to do (especially the woman) is take a Bible event and speculate about the rest of the circumstances that the Bible leaves out.

Speculating about what isn't mentioned in the Bible is something I do often. 

I wonder what it was like for Jonah to be swallowed up and in that "great fish" for three days. 😲

I wonder about the Shepherds in the field watching their flocks suddenly seeing angels proclaiming Jesus's arrival in nearby Bethlehem. 🤫

I imagine John (the Apostle) on Patmos falling down as a dead man because he is so overwhelmed by looking upon the risen Jesus standing before him.

I think it's a good and healthy part of our Bible Study to try to imagine and ponder these things.

😊

However, ☝️ we must also be VERY careful when we do this because we are dealing with God's Holy Word which has a closing page.

Let's repeat that.

"God's Holy Word has a CLOSING PAGE!"

God doesn't tell us everything. The Bible (as lengthy as it is) is Need to Know info.

PLUS, so much of what is in the Bible is, on a deeper level,  SYMBOLIC and PROPHETIC.  Things God will do in the future or things He uses to tie themes together.

For example.

 I was listening to a song I LOVE called "You Were There" (by Avalon) where it depicts Abraham sacrificing Isaac.

The Lyrics say, 

"But God in all His sovereignty had bigger plans

 and just in time, You brought a Lamb."

Beautiful. (sniff sniff) 🥹🤧

But then I thought,

"Hey. Wasn't it a Ram  Not a Lamb that Abraham sacrificed instead of Isaac?"❓️🤔

Let's look at the story briefly.

Here's the scene of events. God has suddenly asked Abraham to take his beloved, only son, Isaac, who has just turned 13 years old, to the top of a mountain, lay him on an altar and sacrifice him to God.

"Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together,  Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”

“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.

“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

"Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together."

And continuing later...

"Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”

Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son."

Genesis 22 (Excerpts)

This story is FULL of prophetic symbols that foreshadow God the Father sacrificing His beloved, only Son, Jesus who is often referred to in the Bible as "The Lamb of God".

It's important that there WASN'T a Lamb caught in the thicket but a full grown Ram that was sacrificed in Isaac's place. The Ram doesn't represent Jesus. It represents Isaac and on an even deeper level, Israel.

Isaac is bound (caught). on a pile of gathered wood (the thicket) and Isaac is 13 years old which, in Jewish culture, makes him an adult male who will one day become the father of Jacob (Aka Israel).

As Abraham said (prophetically), "God himself will provide the lamb." The Lamb being Jesus.

Then Avalon comes along with their pretty song and messes up all God's imagery and symbolism just by changing ONE word. (And you know "Ram" would have rhymed just as much as "Lamb".) 

It might sound like I'm nit-picking, but even the smallest details in the Bible can mean something big.

When Moses struck the rock TWICE to get water from it after God had  explicitly told him to hit it only ONCE, God was so "Nit-Picky" about this misdeed that He punished Moses by forbidding him to enter into the Promised Land with the rest of the Hebrews.

Now, I truly believe the members of Avalon were not trying to lead anyone astray, but a Biblical error is no small thing and there are many people these days who are PURPOSELY trying to lead you astray to make money and gain control over you and they can come up with some pretty crazy and ridiculous things. 🤪

YIKES. 😬

🔴 People who declare THEMSELVES to be modern day Apostles and Prophets (and Prophetesses).

🔴 TV Shows and Movies making up dialogue for Bible people (who were REAL people BTW) and inserting things they NEVER would have said or done.

🔴 Taking HUGE liberties (the kind that would curl your toenails) by writing modern day (or Futuristic) versions of the life (and death and life again) of Jesus.

🔴 Ken Ham's Ark Encounter with it's "Ark-Tistic" license.

Double YIKES❗️😬😬

Now I caught (barely) the seemingly small error about the events surrounding the sacrifice of Isaac in the Avalon  song because I have been studying the Bible since 1978. But if I can be tricked (and I often am) how much more can you be if you have only a limited knowledge of the Bible?

These False Prophets,  and Snake Oil salesmen are counting on people who are not Bible literate to succumb to THEIR versions of what's in the Bible.

And just like the desperate first Edmontonians panning for Gold and losing the little bit of money they had when they hit the nearest saloon, these modern day  Charlatans  are taking advantage of you.

Let's say it again.

"GOD'S Holy Word has a CLOSING PAGE"!

and you Need to Know what IS in it from cover to cover.

I'm bouncing you over to my previous blog post,  "The Bible for Newbies" .

Every summer all of Edmonton speculates about our origins at Klondike Days. (K-Days)

We have a big parade and dress up like we're in the "Olden Days".

Take a Family Photo between the feet of Klondike Mike.

And all our women folk dress up and compete for who is the most like a Saloon Floozie named Klondike Kate (who was a real person BTW).

Then we go home after a full, summer day tired grimey, having eaten way too much, with our kids bouncing around becausse they've had too much sugar and we imagine doing it all again NEXT year. 🫠 

Welcome to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. 🤠

Wild Rose country.

BTW. I STILL recommend the song "You Were There" by Avalon. 

I don't have a direct link to share since YouTube dumped me months ago, but I'm sure you can find it on your own.

Medical Assistance in Dying Courtesy of Laura-Lee 😔

 

We just finished Tax Season here in Canada and it reminded me of the first job I ever had. Back in 1978, when I was just 12 years old (Oops❗️🫢 Accidentally outed my age on the internet again), I had to have my official Social Insurance Number issued (we appropriately call them "SINs") in order to spend 3 hours a day, 6 days a week, in the Vancouver rain (it rains 400 Days a year in Vancover) delivering the (inappropriately called) Vancover Sun newspaper to my neighbours. Not an easy task for such a little girl to tackle. (Although I was already "my full and glorious height of 5' 3") Thus began my lifelong adventure of paying Taxes.

If I could have looked 48 years into the future and seen what my hard earned money would be someday going to pay for, I wonder what I would have thought. 🤔

In 1988 the Government in Canada started paying for Abortions under our Universal Healthcare. In paying my taxes that year I included a letter of Protest against my money paying for abortions that I wanted "permanently kept as part of my tax file".

I wonder if it's still there?

 I wonder how many people have read it through the years and the impact it had on them?

MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) became Government funded in Canada in 2016. Since then more than 80,000 Canadians have been killed. They didn't have to be Terminally ill to qualify for MAID just not want to go on living anymore. 😢

👩‍🦽👩‍🦽👩‍🦽

When I became mysteriouly paralyzed from the neck down in 2019 I under went weeks of testing by every disciple of Medical Science. Everyone wanted to be the one to make a name for themselves to solve my paralysis mystery.

On my birthday that year the head administration of the hospital sent me a bouquet of flowers and balloons with a card wishing me a "Happy Birthday" and that he was "watching my progress with great interest and hope" (I still have the card).

The last doctor I saw was some world famous neurologist who, even though he was booked solid for 2 years, made an opening for me. He and his team examined (and ZAPPED) me for 5 hours straight!

When all was said and done my verdict was,

"We don't know what put you in that bed, Laura-Lee so we don't know how to get you out. You are going to have to find some way to prepare yourself to live out your life paralyzed."

Well, the attitude around me changed OVERNIGHT. I went from the Cause de Celebre to nothing more than a sack of potatoes hurled this way and that way. Suddenly just a big burden on those who had to take care of me and the System.

If I hadn't been a Christian, I wonder how long it would have been before I started feeling that way about myself?

Now the MAID program is well entrenched in Canada and growing exponentially each year.

Keep in mind people do NOT have to be Terminally ill or even physically sick to qualify for MAID.

Many people have been killed because they faced the grinding effects of poverty year after year and wanted out.

When it comes down to it, as far as the Canadian Government is concerned, it's cheaper to KILL people than to take CARE of them.

The Government expects MAID to include the Mentally ill by 2027 and have also tabled a bill to include children as young as 13 years old WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT. 

All brought to you by MY tax dollars.

And that is ...
