  A. The Reputations of My Fathers 9 Dec 2025 * If today I slight my father (who passed away on Midsommer of 2007); then I must apologize to my Father in heaven for my sin before I can again worship the LORD. * I never received a punishment or correction from my father that I did not deserve. * The reputations of my father and grandfathers have not one smirch, mar, or stain. There is no record of any witness ever s peaking or writing against them. And my brother, James Jordan Long, can vouchsafe this. * God blessed me beyond measure in the character of my ancestors. Everyone in my community knew this and countless people told me this (people I had never before met (such as old men at country stores way out in the countryside when I stopped in to get a drink of water during a long run. * Therefore, I have no excuse not to do well in life and community. * Therefore, I stand without excuse. I must know God and worship Him. * They are the means by which God built ...

Do not disdain your father. The Bible says to honor a king. It also tells us to honor our parents. But, the two commands are not equivalent. One is a suggestion or round-about way of declaring a custom. The other is from the decalogue given by the LORD to Moses on Mount Sinai. If the Decalogue includes the command to honor one’s parents, then with all the more importance and gravity should one honor a parent than a king. It is easy to see in any culture how one honors a king, with many features held in common. In taking the command to honor one’s parents seriously, we do well to model our honor on the way a king or queen is honored… and then add to it what you can discern of the merit, place and value of a parent in society, plus the status bestowed and required by the Bible. The Bible should be your final rule. A. Do not interrupt him. (Pay very careful attention to this, because I have a bad habit to do this, though the Lord has been curing me of this, by His grac...

Better version: Things that helped me study 1. Jordan studied with me 2. Mama turned off Internet  (When older brother got psychosis, 2014) 3. Auditing two courses a semester had little pressure (for several years before entering Judson College) 4. Loving professors helped me grow. Dr. Williams nurtured my love for comparative linguistics by spending up to an hour with me after each class. Dr. Quarles encouraged me to study text criticism. Dr. Robinson encouraged me in general. Dr. Hardy taught me comparative linguistics. Nathan and Jordan read with me. 5. I got sick with Lyme. 6. Val helped me with German. Essential for my Ugaritic studies. 7. School let me audit French. Helpful for research. 8. I got accepted into the college when I thought there were too many obstacles to get in.

  1. Regular meals:  There is no substitute for family dinner time discussions, fellowship, and communion.  Sharing a table together nightly is a priceless buttress supporting the biblical family model.   2. Weight-lifting: regular family attendance to a fitness center or the YMCA 3. Swimming: "Go three times a week to the YMCA to swim."  (I agree. This would be very good for our health. And I would enjoy it particularly. Swimming is a beautiful mental experience for me. I think of my parents and my youth in a beautiful sort of way.)  4. Regular Bible reading each night, with prayer and singing.  (I would like to have a choir, practicing 4-part harmony with the piano.)  5. A Trashcan in each room.  We now have several at The Popcorn House.  It works well now that I have time to gather and empty them all.  6.   “Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels, but old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.” Dumbl...
