BP 79 - Three Things to Tell the Police after a Self-defense Situation (for Monday 2026-03-09)

"I AM THE VICTIM.  THAT PERSON ATTACKED ME."

(To read more, well, just keep reading!)

If you ever have to defend yourself physically (and you survive), say these three things to the police when they show-up at the scene:

1/Tell the officers, "I am the victim."

2/Point to the person that attacked you, and tell the officers, "That person attacked me."  If others witnessed it, point to those people, and tell the officers, "... and those people saw what happened."  If the person who attacked you used a weapon, point to the weapon, and tell the officers, "... and that's the weapon that person used when he attacked me."

And...

3/Don't answer any questions.  Instead, tell the officers, "I'm really shaken-up right now and cannot answer any questions without my lawyer present."  Be very firm with this.

-

Again (to reinforce the above), say these three things:

1/"I am the victim."

2/"That person attacked me... and those people saw what happened... and that's the weapon that person used when he attacked me."

And...

3/"I'm really shaken-up right now and cannot answer any questions without my lawyer present."

-

Hopefully, you'll never be in a situation, where you need to defend yourself, let alone a situation where you need to defend yourself after defending yourself.

-

A final thought...

Most likely, after a self-defense situation, you'll be taken into custody.  Just be aware beforehand that this will probably happen.  Being taken into custody (or, simply, just being sequestered in a police cruiser) doesn't necessarily mean that you did anything wrong.  It's really just the police officers doing their jobs.  Do yours by humbly and patiently complying and by sticking to the above three statements.

BP 79 - Make Social Media Inviting and Enjoyable Again (for Monday 2026-02-02)

Image
Greetings... This post is NOT my attempt to control anything anyone posts.  That's not my place.  I'd rather use this forum to encourage anyone who posts on social media to post only things that are GOOD , TRUE , and/or BEAUTIFUL .  If what you're about to post is neither  GOOD , TRUE , nor  BEAUTIFUL , do us all a favor and keep it to yourself. Speaking up for myself only (and whomever might like to join me in this), I'm not interested in anyone's partisan-driven political views.  Most partisan-driven political posts that I encounter on social media often lean toward the extreme and, most likely, find their basis in half-truths, egregious polemics, flagrant exaggeration, and outright falsehood.  Often, such posts label those who disagree with the one who posted it as being totally worthy of public shaming (or worse).  That's really saddening to me. In the past, I've posted political opinions.  And I regret those that were partisan-driven....

BP 78 - How the Ancient Church Thrived in the Midst of Deep Persecution (for Monday 2026-02-16 Post)

    Four Factors that Enabled The Faithful (in the first and second centuries) to Thrive [ Note :  Again, these overlap and are synergistic ] in “this current Earth-life”…   1/ The Person and Presence of The Holy Spirit .   2/The deeply supportive role of The True (and local) Church Community (that is, The Local Ekklesia — The Expanded Fellowship, Image, and Authority of The Trinity on Earth).   3/ The Messages of The Cross [ see segment later in this section ].   And…   4/The belief that a man [ or woman ] must partner together with God (via The Divine Processes of Metanoia ) to be and become Like Him . -- The Seven Spirit-wrought Factors (following The Incarnation, Life, Crucifixion, Suffering, Bodily Death, Burial, Bodily Resurrection, Ascension, and Exaltation of Jesus) that Historically Enabled The Kingdom of God to (on Earth) ORDINATELY Establish Itself, Strengthen Itself, Expand Itself, and Thrive [ Note :  And, yet again, these...

BP79 - I Was Once a Child (for Monday, 2026-02-23)

Image
  "The Truth is… Yes, I was once A Little Child .  The Truth is, too, that I (very mysteriously) still am." To read more, well, just keep reading :o)... -- Jesus …   I was Once a Child ; but, somewhere along the line, I forgot Who I Was .  And, as a consequence, I (through neglect and forgetfulness) abandoned That Little One .   Help me, Lord , to remember …   To remember… what it was really like to be That Little One … … for I’ve forgotten so much.   The Truth is… Yes, I was once A Little Child .  The Truth is, too, that I (very mysteriously) still am.  As Papa’s Told me many, many times now, I’m “still VERY , VERY young in The Kingdom .”   Help me, Lord , to feel this and to Live and PLAY (!!) into it (that is, to Live and play into WHO I am—and to do so for all Eternity ).  Help me to rediscover and to be once and again That Little One that I Truly Am — That Little One that Plays at Life , and… T...
