MDJ Script/ Top Stories for April 30th Publish Date:  April 30th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, April 30th and Happy Birthday to Isiah Thomas ***04.30.25 - BIRTHDAY – ISIAH THOMAS*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Sheffield Sails to Victory in South Cobb Commission Race Murph's Restaurant to Close for Galleria Remodel, Future Uncertain Cobb EMC Directors Look Back on Scandal, Discuss Looming Term Limits All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 1: UPDATE: Sheffield Sails to Victory in South Cobb Commission Race Incumbent Commissioner Monique Sheffield secured a decisive victory over Republican challenger Matthew Hardwick, winning 64.46% of the vote to Hardwick's 35.54%, ensuring south Cobb's District 4 remains under Democratic representation. Sheffield, first elected in 2020, celebrated the win at her Mableton home and emphasized her commitment to serving all constituents, regardless of party affiliation. Her victory, alongside Democrat Erick Allen's in District 2, restores the Cobb County Commission's Democratic majority. Hardwick, the first Republican to run for the seat in years, narrowed Sheffield's early voting lead but fell short. Sheffield's next term will focus on health and wellness in her district. STORY 2: Murph's Restaurant to Close for Galleria Remodel, Future Uncertain The future of Murph’s, a restaurant and bar opened by Braves legend Dale Murphy in 2017, is uncertain as the Cobb Galleria Centre undergoes a major remodel. The Galleria’s renovation, set to begin this fall, includes demolishing the space where Murph’s is located. Initially assured they’d be part of the remodel, the Murphys were recently informed their restaurant is no longer in the plans. Despite strong community support and success, Murph’s is set to close in August. The Murphys hope to negotiate a solution in an upcoming meeting with Galleria management but are also exploring other location options near Truist Park. STORY 3: Cobb EMC Directors Look Back on Scandal, Discuss Looming Term Limits Cobb EMC has rebounded from a decade of scandal under former CEO Dwight Brown, who was accused of self-dealing and mismanagement, leaving the co-op in financial turmoil. Since then, a new board elected in 2011-2012 has transformed the organization, achieving some of the lowest electric rates in Georgia and top national reliability. However, term limits approved in 2012 mean the entire board will be replaced between 2026 and 2028, raising concerns about the loss of institutional knowledge. While directors support term limits, some suggest staggering turnover to ease transitions. The co-op remains in strong standing, with members set to elect new leadership in the coming years. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.   We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 4: UPDATE: Erick Allen Wins Cobb District 2 Seat, Restores Democratic Majority on Commission Democrat Erick Allen has won the vacant District 2 seat on the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, securing 58.6% of the vote against Republican Alicia Adams' 41.4%. Allen's victory, alongside Monique Sheffield's projected win, restores the board's Democratic majority. The District 2 seat was vacated in February after Jerica Richardson's removal due to a redistricting battle. Allen emphasized unity in his victory speech, pledging to bring the fractured district together. Adams, despite her loss, highlighted her campaign's focus on giving a voice to underrepresented constituents. Allen's leadership is expected to strengthen collaboration across the county and state levels. STORY 5: 'Apples and Dump Trucks': Cobb Schools Approves Band Loan, New Scoreboard Cobb Superintendent Chris Ragsdale defended the district’s processes after approving a $50,000 loan for Pebblebrook High School’s band uniforms and a $439,497 privately funded scoreboard for Walton High. The Pebblebrook loan, to be repaid over five years, is one of the few exceptions the district makes for extracurricular funding. Walton’s scoreboard, funded by private donations, required board approval due to its cost exceeding $200,000. Ragsdale emphasized that all projects, regardless of funding source, must follow district procedures. Board members highlighted the importance of supporting programs like Pebblebrook’s large, nationally recognized band while maintaining clear policies for funding and approvals. Break: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 6: Head of North Cobb Christian Renews 4-Year Contract Todd Clingman, head of North Cobb Christian School in Kennesaw, has renewed his contract for another four years, extending his tenure to 22 years. Clingman, who joined the 55-acre private Christian school in 2007, has been praised by Board President Todd Rainwater for his mission-driven leadership and transformative impact on the school’s community and campus. The board expressed gratitude for Clingman’s dedication to the school’s vision and values, celebrating his continued leadership as he prepares for his 18th year in the role. STORY 7: Marietta Resident Receives Outstanding Master’s Student Award Claire Warner of Marietta was honored with the Outstanding Master's Student Award from Georgia State University's College of Education & Human Development during the spring 2025 Honors Day Ceremony. The award recognizes her exceptional scholarship and clinical service in the communication sciences and disorders master's program. We’ll have closing comments after this.

The Man-child, Bride, and Revival (Audio) David Eells - 1/1/23   The Father Reveals His Son to the World Garrett Crawford - 6/21/22 (David's notes in red)   I had a dream where I saw a radiant vision of Jesus Christ emitting glory. I was made to understand that His Father wanted to reveal him to the world in all his glory, nature, and power; in the truest and purest sense. The Father truly wanted the world to see his son again, that was his plan and hearts desire. (And it will happen in the Body of the Man-child.)       The Transfiguration of the Man-child William Steenland - 3/31/22 (David's notes in red)   I dreamed I was at a burger restaurant called “5 guys” eating. I was told by the waitress that I was going to witness the transfiguration of the Man-child at Clingman's Dome. That was it!    Clingman's Dome is a place we often visited in the great smokie mountains it's one of the highest peaks east of the Mississippi. (On a clear day you can see seven states from Clingman's Dome.)   (This revelation could be in reference to the Man-child company in Rev 14:1-4  And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.  2  And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping with their harps:     3  and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand, even they that had been purchased out of the earth.  4  These are they that were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. (These women are a reference of the sects or denominations of men.) These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to be the first fruits unto God and unto the Lamb. This means these are the first fruits to come to maturity after Jesus, the Lamb.)       Revival Begins in the Kingdom Gabe Watson - 12/2022 (David's notes in red)   My mother, father, and I were in a car. My father was driving. (Representing that our Father is guiding us.)  I was in the passenger seat and my mother (the Church) was in the back. It seemed like my father was trying to say something but it didn't make any sense. (Sometimes He speaks in parables.)  I wondered if I should help him drive. (Sometimes we don't understand or like where He takes us.) I even thought, “Should I be driving?'' but out of respect for him, I did not drive. (This is good; We should respect His driving, He is wise and Sovereign.)   The next thing I knew, we were looking at this beautiful mountain. This mountain was about eight times bigger than any mountain on the earth, it was massive, with snow on different parts of it. (8 is the number of Jesus in Greek gematria 888. This mountain could represent the Kingdom of God on earth which is everyone in Jesus on earth. Daniel saw a stone that was cut out without hands, representing the Man-child, that became a "great mountain”. The Man-child's job is to sanctify the Woman, bringing her completely into the kingdom of God. So this great mountain is His people on earth. The stone struck the Beast kingdom in the feet and crumbled his whole end time kingdom.)    Dan. 2:31-35 Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible.  32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass, 33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.    34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands (meaning it was not man-made but God-made like the Man-child), which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces. 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. (The great mountain that filled the whole earth was the Kingdom of God on earth. Rev. 11:15 …The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever.)    ...Dan 2:44-45  And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 45  Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.     It was dark out but I could still see the mountain clearly and I could see lights all around the mountain like a city. Of course the city was extremely small compared to how massive the mountain was. (The city of heavenly Jerusalem is the Bride and is much smaller than the mountain of the Kingdom people.) The mountain was right in the middle of this city and it looked very majestic. It was strange because I was looking slightly down on this mountain and city. It didn't seem strange that we were higher than the mountain and city. As I was watching the mountain I was unimpeded by any part of the car (It didn't seem like it was there). (i.e. he could see the mountain right through the car.) My mother (representing the Church) was also observing the event.    I looked up into the air and I noticed a laser beam of light diagonally, from left to right, shooting down from heaven toward the mountain. As it hit the mountain, it started to cause a fire on the mountain. (The Man-child in whom Jesus lives, by His light, will begin the fiery revival.) It was a very translucent fire and it wasn't extreme. (Representing a spiritual fire.) However, I had a sense, if the laser stayed on the mountain, it might consume it. (Heb. 12:29 for our God is a consuming fire.)    As this was happening swarms of birds were leaving the mountain in droves. It seemed like they were leaving because of the fire. (This revival will cleanse the Kingdom of the Babylonish birds as in Jesus' day. Rev 18:2  And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird.)   As I was watching this unfold, I was absolutely amazed. I didn't know if I was saying it out loud or thinking it, but I was saying “Wow this is so spiritual, this is something that is happening in the end time". I didn't want to miss it and I wanted to keep watching. I was saying to myself, “Do not sleep, because if you do, you're going to miss it.''       It almost seemed, when I said these words, I fell asleep, if only for a second. When I woke up, I saw nothing but darkness where the mountain had been and the sky was completely dark. (Isa. 60:2 For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.)    I was now looking through the windshield of the car. The windshield was wet, but I could see clearly through the middle of the windshield, but around the edges of the windshield it was blurry from the water. (This represents the outpouring of the Latter Rain of the Spirit of God, which starts with the Man-child and begins the revival.)  I could see a few lights but they were very blurry because of the water on the windshield. I knew, I was on a road now and I remember looking up to try to find the mountain. I was level with the city because the lights were now in front of me rather than me looking down upon them. Then I woke up.    I found a picture that closely reflects what I saw.          Climbing Mt. Zion to Give Birth to the Man-child  Tiannah Fire - 12/19/22 (David's notes in red)   I dreamt that I was heavily pregnant, and in the third trimester. (Representing the woman Church who is pregnant with Jesus in the Man-child reformers.) Rev 12:4-5  And his (the dragon's) tail draweth the third of the stars of the heaven, and he cast them to the earth: (Representing the falling away of 1/3rd of Abraham's seed identified by God as the stars.) and the dragon standeth before the woman about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. 5  And she was delivered of a son, a male [or Man-child], who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.… 14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (by the Man-child), from the face of the serpent.)   I was on a river side which had a steep mountain right next to it. I was ready to give birth as contractions quickly started happening close together, but they weren't painful.   I felt strongly that the baby was about to come out very quickly but I was very calm and relaxed. After maybe 5 minutes, the contractions completely stopped. So, I decided that I had time to go get some food. I was craving food from a restaurant called "Abraham's", which was  dark green. (We must feed on the Word of Promise and have the faith of Abraham which will bring us eternal life represented by the color green. Rom. 9:6-9 For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel: 7 neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed. 9 For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.   And Gal. 3:6-9 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 7 Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed. 9 So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.)    Joh 6:35  Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: who cometh unto me shall in nowise hunger, and who believeth unto me shall in nowise ever thirst. (Like Jesus, Abraham was the father of a multitude.)    So, I looked up on Google maps the closest Abraham's restaurant. There was one located 6.7 miles from where I was and there was another located 11 Miles. I chose the closer one to go to, and I got in a white car. I sat in the backseat and a friend drove. We followed the maps and it led us up a very steep hill that led high up into the air. (Like the Woman was carried by the eagle representing overcoming the world in the wilderness where she is fed by the Man-child.)    My friend was driving very slowly as the road was so steep and it led onto a rocky, dirt road. The road went straight up into the air. I was so nervous because of how high up we were and I did not want to look back. (Trials and tests of faith) Rom 5:3  And not only so, but let us also rejoice in tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh patience. (Php. 3:13 forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before.)   A man appeared high up on the road but we weren't wanting to stop because of how steep the road was. The man called out that we shouldn't be driving on this road and that we should only walk. He told us this is very dangerous and if we want to stay alive, we have to get out of the car. (Many worldly people would try to dissuade us from the Highway of Holiness.)(Worldly ways [and thinking] are contrary to faith in Christ) (Rom. 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.)   We couldn't do that because there was nowhere to park the car and we didn't want the car to go backwards. There was nowhere to even turn around. (There's no time for back-sliding when you are running a race.) We just kept driving and praying that The Lord was protecting us.    A woman later appeared on the road and warned us to not drive anymore because the road gets even steeper up ahead. (Danger is relative to those who walk by sight.) We had no other choice but to keep driving. The road started getting extremely steep and it literally looked impossible to walk up it, let alone drive up. (Mat. 19:26 And Jesus looking upon them said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. “Faith is the victory that overcometh the world.")   We started getting attacked with fear so the person driving started driving as fast as possible so we could get there quicker. The car started making a really loud noise. I was surprised that the car started going a little faster and how the person was able to keep the car going straight at such a high speed. (Representing perseverance in faith despite all odds.) Joh 14:27  I leave you peace; my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither be it fearful.    Jas 1:12  Blessed the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He promised to them that love him.    This went on for a while but, praise God, we finally got to the top safely. (Representing the top of Mount Zion) When I looked at the map, I didn't realize that it would be around 6.7 miles straight up into the air. I felt that the baby would come out quickly when I was at the top of the mountain. Then I woke up.     Overcoming the World to Reach the Top of Mt. Zion  Tiannah Fire - 12/8/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamt that I was living in a valley with other brethren. We were all gathered together and discussing a small village that was on a tall mountain near where we were. (The Bride is climbing Mount Zion to the presence of God.)  We were told that it was the best village to live in, the people there were very friendly and it was nice and small, peaceful and secluded.   We heard stories about many different people that had tried to get up there before, but it was too difficult for them so they just came back down to the valley. We also heard stories about others that had gotten lost on the way or died trying to get there. (We need Faith through all things and to escape the falling away.)  It sounded very difficult and dangerous to get up there, and it was hard to see where to go through all the bushes. But some of us were so eager to go to that village we had heard about, and we decided that we would all journey there.   Mat 13:44  The kingdom of the heavens is like treasure hid in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy goeth and selleth whatever he hath, and buyeth that field.  Someone suggested that we race there just for fun to help encourage each other to keep going and to stay on the right way. We all desired to get up there as quick as possible. 1Th 5:11  Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.  So, we all lined up and looked towards the part of the mountain we were going to. We didn't have anything on us except the clothes we were wearing. Luk 10:3-4  Go. Lo, I send you forth as lambs amidst wolves. Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes; and salute no one on the way. A starters gun went off and we all started running towards the mountain. (Gravity is like the flesh; it pulls us down and holds us back but we must overcome it on the wings of the eagle.)  There were so many trees and bushes that we had to be careful to not get lost, or step on a snake or run into branches or rocks. (Always make sure the path you are on is the righteous way that is according to The Word.) Pro 16:9  A man's heart deviseth his way; But Jehovah directeth his steps. And Pro 22:5  Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: He that keepeth his soul shall be far from them.  I ran for a few minutes and I started believing for God to help me and I started being lifted up into the air about 9 feet high while running. (The number nine represents the fruits of the Spirit. These are what help us to overcome the gravity of the flesh.) The other people called out to me asking how I was starting to fly and I said, “You have to have Faith". Then they too started being lifted up a few feet off the ground. Isa 40:31  but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.   I was still lower than the trees so I had to dodge the trees and large rocks and go under branches so I wouldn't hit them as I was moving at a fast pace. I asked God to help me with my Faith and I started to believe that I could go higher and I got lifted up higher and higher.(Obstacles are overcome by faith. Eph. 2:4-9 but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus: 8 for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not of works, that no man should glory.) I was just thinking on God and desiring His strength, faith, power, grace. And I got lifted up above all the trees so I could see the top of the mountain from a distance but clearer so I knew the right way to go. I didn't have to worry about being lost. I was up high enough that I didn't have to worry about running into branches, trees, or rocks anymore. (Obstacles are overcome through faith.)  Mat 9:29 ...According to your faith be it to you.   And Mat 17:20  And he saith to them, Because of your little faith: for Amen I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove hence to yonder; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you. I looked behind me and saw others a little bit off the ground, some a little more than others. The more faith we acted on, the higher up we went and the faster we moved. I started to get hit with doubt and unbelief about being able to fly and my running slowed down and I started dropping slowly to around the height of the trees. So I couldn't see clearly ahead anymore. Mar 4:40  And he said to them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?  I started fighting and rejecting the doubt and unbelief and self-works, and thinking on His Word and to rely purely on God's works and strength and Faith. (We must reject the lies and cast down the enemy). (2Co. 10:5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.) After overcoming the doubt and unbelief it went away and I started being lifted up higher and higher again.  Mat 21:21-22  And Jesus answered and said to them, Amen I say unto you, If ye shall have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done. And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.  And Rom 4:20-21  yet, looking unto the promise of God, he doubted not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.    I flew about two thirds of the way up the mountain and I flew over a river. (Overcoming an obstacle can bring us to pride.) I then started to get hit with thoughts of pride because I was ahead of the others and I started lowering to the ground again. (This is the law of earthly gravity or flesh taking over. The devil was once prideful because of his beauty but then God made him hideous.) I battled and resisted the pride, self-righteousness and self-works and it all went away. I was reminded that I am nothing without God and everything IS Him and for Him! (Pride and arrogance is a stumbling block. Pro 16:18  Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.)  I looked back and saw some people stuck at the rough river and they were fearful to cross. I stopped moving and turned and I called out to them with encouragement and speaking Faith that God is with them. I genuinely desired for them to get to the top of the mountain and I believed they would overcome this river. (Love and intercession for others, especially in the Spirit, emboldens their faith.)  Rom 8:26-27  And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself intercedeth mightily for us with groanings unutterable; and who searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedeth for the saints according to God.   A couple of people's faith was increased and they started being lifted up over the river. A few others then walked and swam across the river and got to the other side.  I started getting lifted up high again and started running and flying in the air again all the way to the top. When at the top, I watched as a couple other brethren joined me.  Only a few that I started out with ended up making it to the top. I felt some people had turned back and others either got lost or died on the way up. Then I woke up. (Love, humility and perseverance will cause us to overcome the pull of gravity-like flesh towards the earthly and cause us to enter heavenly places in Christ.)      You Must Have Faith Glenda Lomax - Wings of Prophesy - 7/17/18 (David's notes in red)   (As we go through our wilderness experiences of a lack of man's provision from Egypt, we learn through faith that we can have a heavenly provision of water out of the Rock and Manna out of heaven. The Bride is well on her way in this, but the Church at large, is lagging far behind and need tribulation to motivate them.) “My Children, be alert for My leading. Be alert as I am leading many of you out of where you are and into new situations. These will be situations of reduced provision, as I am teaching you to rely only on me. If you will follow My leading, you will enter a wilderness and be fearful for a time, but you will leave a faith giant. As I walk with My children through the wilderness seasons in their lives, I train them to have faith. I train them until their nature is changed from unbelieving to belief. I am a great and mighty God and I am well able to provide for all of you, but this is not possible without great faith. Your provision in what is coming will be directly proportionate to your faith in Me {to provide}, so allow this training to come. Do not resist My leading as this is your only hope to avoid the coming Mark {of the Beast} and not perish in the famine.” Mat. 21:21-22  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Pro. 3:5-6 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.   Php. 4:19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.   Rev. 13:16-17 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.   Rev. 14:9-12 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.   Deu. 8:1-2 All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers. 2 And thou shalt remember all the way which Jehovah thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or not.     Warning to Climb Mt. Zion to Escape Judgment  Tiannah Fire - 2020 (David's notes in red)   I had a similar dream to this a few times shortly after I started following Jesus.   I was in a town called the Sunshine Coast doing my daily routines. (This is a play on words sun/Sonshine coast represents the Church or all Israel who are physical and spiritual children of Abraham.) Suddenly, I had this feeling and urge to go get on top of the closest mountain. (Representing the call to sanctification in climbing Mt. Zion.) I didn't understand why, as I don't usually climb mountains, and I was currently busy doing things. (Distractions can be a potential danger to our spiritual safety.) (Obedience is Christ's mandate. We are called to reach the high and heavenly places of Mount Zion in the presence of God and heed the warning of the Lord to escape the wrath to come.) (Joel 3:17 So shall ye know that I am Jehovah your God, dwelling in Zion my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.)   So, I drove to the closest mountain and climbed to the top [into the presence of God]. I then watched, from a distance, a giant tsunami with large waves rushing into the town and all the surrounding areas. This was sudden as no one saw it coming, and this had never happened before in this area. (1Th 5:2-9  For  yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief: 5 for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness; 6 so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night: and they that are drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God appointed us not into wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.)    (If I had remained in the city, I would have been caught up in the destructive waves.) Praise God I was safe! (On Mt. Zion in the presence of the Lord. Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call.)   Safety in the Presence of the Lord on Mt. Zion Marie Kelton - 12/30/22 (David's notes in red)   During our evening meeting, I had an open vision of the Lord walking with the destroyer angel on a sliver chain leash that was around its neck. A little while later, again I saw the Lord sitting next to me, on a throne He had the destroyer angel on a chain leash that He was holding. I heard, " And I will cause the destroyer angel to pass over thee".   The Lord had the destroyer angel on a leash during the time of the Passover in Exodus.    Exo. 12:23 For Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.   (How many of God's people believe in the Passover because they ate the Lamb? So, you see climbing Mt. Zion brings us into the presence of God and His Passover.)     Will You Meet Him In The Upper Room?  Claire Pienaar - 12/23/22 (David's notes in red)   I dreamed Riaan and I walked into a tiny little restaurant-lodge in a high-altitude-alpine area. (Few dwell in the high places feeding on the rare Word) (In this dream, I represent the Bride because my name means “brilliant” and the Bride's garments are bright and pure as is spoken of in Rev. 19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Riaan represents the Man-Child as his name means “little lion king”.).    As we opened the door, a Middle Eastern man in dark blue scrubs with a stethoscope round his neck was waiting for us to take us to the top level of the restaurant. (Jesus is the ultimate healer for His people.) (Dark Blue Scrubs denotes that Jesus is coming in His heavenly attire to judge those who require it. And to perform “surgery” on those who need it. The stethoscope relates to how Jesus listens to the desires and state of the heart. Riaan: God is our great healer for those who dwell on Mt. Zion and take refuge in Him and wait for Him in the upper room).    My friend Kiera was also there, but had to stay at the bottom. (This name means “little dark one”. Only those with clean hearts and white robes are going to the upper room. The dark ones stay behind.) (The dark ones stay in the shadow of the Mountain and do not climb into the light on top.) End of dream.    I received this verse by faith at random from Eze. 39:26-27 “And they shall bear their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they shall dwell securely in their land, and none shall make them afraid; when I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations.”   Man-child and Bride to be Wed on Mt. Zion Tiannah Fire - 12/17/22 (David's notes in red)   (Tiannah is representing the Bride in this vision.) I had a vision where I saw a large, bright, sparkling chandelier hanging from a ceiling. I looked around the room and the walls were so shiny, sparkling and bright. I saw the colors light pink, white and gold. (These colors represent the love, purity and refinement that the Bride experiences as she walks the crucified life on her journey to meet her heavenly Husband, Christ.) The presence in the room was so peaceful and joyful. (Representing the presence of the Holy Spirit)  I was in, what looked like, a ballroom that was located downstairs. To my right, on the other side of the wall, were stairs going up to the second floor, this is where I felt the master bedroom was. (Spiritually, the master bedroom on the second floor represents where Jesus will consummate the Marriage to His Bride in heavenly places. The staircase to the right on the other side of the wall represents the path of righteousness that is only found through sanctification or separation from the world represented by the wall.) This place felt like a fancy mansion. It was designed like ones in the 1700s. There was a dining table and chairs to my left. (This represents the Marriage Feast which is also a time of judgment represented by its placement on the left.)    Straight ahead of me was a man standing in the ballroom with his back to me, he was wearing a black suit and looked like he was waiting. (This man who was straight ahead represents Jesus who is the straight and narrow Way. He is waiting for His Bride.) He was looking out this large window, which had giant doors or shudders that were open. There was a beautiful view of grass in the yard and a beautiful garden, and past that was a forest that went all the way to the bottom of a mountain. (The Man-child or Jesus was waiting to dance with the Bride in the ballroom.)    We were up high on top of the mountain because I could see very far down the mountain. The sky was blue but there was a fog. (The fog represents that Mount Zion, the Bride, is still hidden and has not yet been revealed.)    It was late afternoon and the sun was starting to set. (Representing the end of the 6 thousandth year day.) I then saw myself in the spirit and I was walking towards the man wearing a bright, white, sparkling wedding dress and long white gloves and a sparkling bright tiara or a crown. (The Bride's garments are bright and pure as is spoken of in Rev. 19:8)    The man then turned around as I walked to him and he smiled and greeted me with open arms. (Lord Jesus welcomes those who are counted worthy with open arms. 2Th 1:5  a manifestation of the righteous judgment of God; that ye be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer.)     I felt that we would be down in the ballroom for a little while, but then we will be going upstairs to the master bedroom.      UBM: The Tip of the Spear for the Man-child Ministry Samuel Fire - 12/21/22 (David's notes in red)   I asked God what the world would look like right before the 7-year tribulation.  (A time we are now approaching.) I saw a vision:  There was a lot of unity in world markets and trade. All trading was going well on all sides with profit and expansion, and more jobs and large payouts with bonuses. Many loan applications were getting approved. Wars mostly ceased, to the extent that no armies were shooting at each other. There were many people able to travel and and enjoy a better standard of living. The cost of living became much easier for the lowest earning bracket of people. Medicine and health greatly improved and there was less disease. (This is the beginning of the wealth spread through the GCR and the re-distribution of Babylon's hidden treasures of darkness. The hidden health technologies are promised to be released. Other technologies that are far beyond what we've experienced are to be released. This prosperity cannot last for the wicked for they are under the curse but they will be able to see what they are missing.) It was as though everyone was on the verge of a man-made utopia and beginning to head into a golden age. There was a one world government (as we see forming right now), world currency and a one world religion. Everyone started to agree on merging into and being controlled in one format. (This is the one world order; their tower of Babel and you know how that ended.) As soon as I saw this, something triggered a major chaos. (Could this be a plague released and the world war that follows the coming of Jesus in the Man-child in Rev 6:1-4?) Everything was shown for what it truly was; lies and deception and it all started falling apart. It was like a thin vail covering something to disguise it, and then it had caught on fire and the whole thing is in turmoil and flames. (Hence, the refuge. Why does it have to be this way? Because "there is no peace to the wicked saith the Lord.” Isa. 26:9-11 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. 10 Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah. 11 Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see thy zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries. The world is under a curse that will bring it all down.) There will be worldwide announcements and so-called great accomplishments in many areas. A great divide will occur between those who know of the secret things of God and those who are unable to see the truth of it all. (I.e. the Truth according to The Word.) Many are not in Christ yet, but the Lord has a calling on them during the Tribulation period. (The only people who can live above the curse are the Bride who lives in the King's palace. Since they are not in love with the world and it's lusts, they can be trusted to have abundance.) I saw a tip of a spear, but the tip was zoomed in to see on a microscopic level. (The Bride is a very small group of people.)  There were a few people marching to the very top point of the spear; their arms linked together – I felt these were the true family and brethren in UBM. (Very few people actually pursue Christ, and very few of these will manifest His Spirit.)(As we will see below, UBM has been prophesied to spearhead the Man-child Ministry to the world.) I was shocked to see how deceiving the enemy was and how deceived he is. Only those who chose to forsake the idols of the worldly desires [can be trusted to handle these things for the Lord.].  Those who listened and have a real relationship already with the Lord, who have broken away from worldly desires that are not necessary, and are content with basic living [will have God's supernatural provision.] They are the ones who lead people out of the apostate Church and the world's system to Christ.   Spearheading the Man-child Ministry David Eells - 2002 We know that God is building this ministry to spread His truths to a multitude of babies about to come looking for answers when this nation is chastened. I share this revelation for your edification and preparation, not to give any credit to myself. Jesus told us that whenever we have done all that we know to do to consider ourselves as unprofitable servants. This is because we do not earn God's grace. It is freely given through the faith that He gives.  No man should feel worthy of the great things that God is about to do through them. Furthermore, many are called to and promised the man-child ministry but few will be chosen for it. I am praying to be counted worthy. Many times when brethren have had visions of me it is because God is using my name to identify the corporate body of the son of David that Jesus will be manifested in to shepherd his flock as He said He would come to do in these last days as in Eze.34:11-31; Jer.30:6-9, 21-24. A prophet named Phillip shared this vision with us: “I have prayed for three days now for the Holy Father's will in this matter of sharing the vision I received during a meeting with David as the speaker (in Phoenix, a type of resurrection life). I am permitted to share the following: As I prayed with David at the start of the meeting, I saw the room change into a stadium filled with people and David was at the podium shouting through a microphone that was in the shape of a shofar.    He wore a silver yarmulke that glowed as he spoke, and from above it came a white goldenlight pouring down from the sky as a beam of glory growing brighter with each outpouring. From David's clothing came the same glory lights pouring though the tzit-tzit on his garment flowing like fingers through the people. They touched the forehead and were grabbed by the right hand of people who became pregnant and began shouting as they were covered in glory. This is the vision I had at the meeting. The Holy Father says that David would know its meaning, if not now very soon.”   Months after that meeting we received this from Phillip: “Holy Yahweh is forming this ministry into His Image to spearhead the Man-child Ministry Birthing and Delivery to the World! Amen! He has given this to me in a mighty vision that ran continued for three nights along with some other things that I can't say just yet.” David's interpretation: I had already received a previous prophecy that I would be teaching in stadiums. I thought that this might be spiritual because of the rows of people. The Word is passed on from person to person as each tier speaks to greater and greater circles of people in a geometric progression like a stadium is built. I have been contacted by many who have told us that they are using our broadcasts or MP3 audios for their home Bible study groups. Also multitudes are copying our materials and passing them on. A shofar turns inaudible breath, which is the same Hebrew word for Spirit, into the audible voice of the Spirit or the Word, which warns God's people and destroys the enemy as in Gideon's battle. We are all called to this ministry of being a vessel through whom the pure word of the Spirit will flow. The people being touched on the forehead by the light from heaven are those who humbly receive the Word and so receive the renewed mind of Christ. These are grabbing the light with the right hand which represents those who act on the Word and so have the renewed works of Christ. These became pregnant with the seed of Christ through the Word. "He that doeth the will of my father is my mother". When this seed bears fruit in the womb of the heart and mind that is eventually birthed to the world they will be seen as the image of Christ. In Jesus' day, Jewish men normally wore a simple tunic at work or home but when assembling in public gatherings they would cover their tunic with a large rectangular cloth called the "tallit", which is a prayer shawl that draped over the shoulders almost to the ground. The Torah commanded them to wear the tzit-tzit, which were fringes or tassels, at the four borders (Heb: corners, wings) of this tallit. This was a reminder to keep the commandments. {Deu. 22:12} Thou shalt make thee fringes (tzit-tzit) upon the four borders (Heb: "Kanaph" - corners, wings) of thy vesture (tallit), wherewith thou coverest thyself.  The tzit-tzit tassels are tied into 613 knots to constantly remind the Jews of the 613 laws of Moses. 365 of these are "thou shalt not" type laws, and 248 are "thou shall" type laws). The four tzit-tzit's also represented the name, which in Hebrew means nature, character, and authority, of God, YHWH, manifested in the life of the one who keeps the Word. The "white golden light pouring down from the sky" will flow through these people, first the Man-child and then those who receive of that light. {Num.15:37} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {38} Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes (tzit-tzit) in the borders (Heb: Kanaph - corners, wings) of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each border a cord of blue: {39} and it shall be unto you for a fringe (tzit-tzit), that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye follow not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot; {40} that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. {41} I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your God. Like Jesus, the man-child will fulfill Malachi's prophecy concerning the tzit-tzit as the two witnesses are being manifested to the world. {Mal.4:1} For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. {2} But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings (tzit-tzit); and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall.  {3} And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, saith Jehovah of hosts. {4} Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances. {5} Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come. {6} And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.  The Jews believed the Sun of Righteousness would be the Messiah, who would have the power to heal who ever touched the tzit-tzit (fringes) on his garment. They did not know that this would be repeated in the end time through Christ in the Man-child company. The Light from heaven poured through the tzit-tzit of Jesus' tallit to heal the sick as it will, spiritually, through the end time Man-child.  The woman who had suffered from an issue of blood for twelve years came up behind him touching the border or wings of his garment where the tzit-tzit was and was healed. She expressed her faith in Jesus as the Son of Righteousness with healing in His wings (Heb: tzit-tzit). The tzit-tzit represents the Word or Jesus manifested in the Man-child in righteousness and obedience. It represents the name or nature, character, and authority manifested in the one who wore it. {Mat.9:20} And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border (wings) of his garment: {21} for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole. {22} But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. {Mar.6:54} And when they were come out of the boat, straightway [the people] knew him, {55} and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. {56} And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border (wings) of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole. To repeat for a point: {Mar.5:25} And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, {26} and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, (The woman here represents the Church who has tried through self works to save herself from the out flowing of the blood, representing the old nature. "The life of the flesh is in the blood". Never the less the Church will be in uncleanness until the time of the number of governmental perfection symbolized by the number twelve. The corruption will begin to turn around when God raises up the new leadership that He promised in these days.  "I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness".) {27} having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment. {28} For she said, If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole. (Touching the tzit-tzit is to not be separated from righteousness or the name through faith.) {29} And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.  Faith is imputed righteousness that will stop the life of the old man from flowing from us. {30} And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power [proceeding] from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments? (To touch the tzit-tzit is to partake of the power of the healing light that flows from the throne.) {31} And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? {32} And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. {33} But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. {34} And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. In short brethren the "white golden light pouring down from the sky as a beam of glory" will flow through obedient servants in whom Christ is manifested through the latter rain and belief in the truth. It will flow first through the Man-child and then through the witnesses to the Church at large.   Zion's Redemption David Eells  Isa 59:20  And a Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah.   Isa 51:11  And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.   Isa 35:8  And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but is shall be for the redeemed: the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err therein. 9  No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; they shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: 10  and the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.   Isa 4:4  when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning. 5  And Jehovah will create over the whole habitation of mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be spread a covering. 6  And there shall be a pavilion for a shade in the day-time from the heat, and for a refuge and for a covert from storm and from rain.   Isa 41:27  I am the first that saith unto Zion, Behold, behold them; and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.    Isa 40:9  O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up on a high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God!

Today's guest, Lauren Adamczak, described herself as "the quiet 30-year-old that never spoke up in groups, often looked down at the ground in public, and wouldn't dare leave the house in mismatched clothes." Four days into the trail, she accepted–with glee–the trail name, Airbag. When I read a post she made on Facebook, I knew I wanted her on the show. Lauren didn't make it to the brown sign on Katahdin, but she had an adventure that energized and enhanced her life, taking on "Airbag" with such positivity that I wondered through our conversation whether it was Lauren or Airbag with whom I was talking. You can follow Lauren on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/lauren.the.airbag/ Steve Kortekamp is our third member of the Mighty Blue Class of 2023. Steve is a retired firefighter, and first saw the trail in the 60s, on Clingman's Dome, with his father. He'll be carrying the picture from that day (below) with him as he hikes the trail next year.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Wayne Clingman is an author of books on the Mafia in Hollywood to Frank Balistrieri the Last Godfather of Milwaukee.

From time to time I like to go off the rails a bit and features someone who may be off of the beaten path. Our Easter Show on 4/17/2022 was just that. Wayne Clingman approached me about doing a show on the influences of the mob or the mafia when it came to the business of adult movies. He shares his research and will talk about the books he's written on the topic. Adding to the discussion were Herschel Savage and Sean Elliot who were a part of a few brushes with the mob back in the day.

In the latest in our occasional series of interviews with repairers, we turn our attention to pottery. People are often encouraged to repair broken musical instruments, furniture or paintings. But crockery - even a much loved plate or mug - is more likely to end up in the tip after an accident. However, if the item is rare or there's sentimental value attached to it, there is still hope, according to Wellington ceramicist Dave Clingman. Dave not only makes pottery, he fixes it too. He uses several techniques, but his favourite, he says, is the Japanese art of Kintsugi. Lynn Freeman asked Dave about the particular challenges of fixing broken ceramics.

In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles, Donnie and Dale interview Laura Riste from www.canadiangurl77.com who has researched Trenny Lynn Gibson since 2003. Trenny Gibson accompanied 40 of her classmates from Knoxville, Tennessee on a field trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park on October 8, 1976. The students were hiking to Andrews Bald on the trip and separated into small groups when they arrived at the trails. Trenny apparently hiked with several different sections of her classmates at different paces during the day. She was last seen at approximately 3:00 p.m. near Clingman's Dome, walking on a moderately steep trail with sharp drop-offs and dense undergrowth on both sides. Extensive searches of the park continued until the end of October 1976, but Trenny has never been located. She was a sophomore at Bearden High School at the time of her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved. NOTE FROM LAURA RISTE - If anyone knew Robert Otis Gibson, Jr. 1958 - 2000 and could tell her a little bit about him, please contact her through her website  *** If you have any information that may lead to this case being solved, you are strongly encouraged to contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 615-744-4000. *** *** Or contact Laura Riste through her website www.canadiangurl77.com*** https://crackhousechronicles.com/ Check out our MERCH! https://www.teepublic.com/user/crackhousechronicles Sponsors: https://betterhelp.com/chc If you use this link or Promo Code CHC, BetterHELP will give you 10% off your first months bill.

Welcome to the 61st episode of The Speak Seductively Podcast. Our guest for this episode is a fascinating man, Wayne 'Mr. Big' Clingman. We met Wayne on twitter, exchanged some information and began chatting about doing a potential episode. Kyle was fascinated by Wayne's writing, especially his non-fiction work on the Milwaukee Mob. Then, he discovered Wayne had written an erotica story using his organized crime knowledge and love of the 'early' organized crime period of the 20's through 40's. The short story, Alias 'Mr. Big' is a fun read and throwback to film noir... But, let's save that for the interview. Wayne's bio information from his website is shared below along with a link to his Amazon author page. Wayne is first and foremost an accomplished student of history & not just the kind they teach in school, but also that which governments and the powerful wish to keep hidden. Wayne & his wife Barb live in a 115 year old home in Racine Wisconsin, on the Lake Michigan coast with their four Alaskan Malamutes, and "Office Cat" .

Kasey's second day of school isn't any easier than the first: she's again confronted by the eager boy who insists they're best friends; she finds navigating the lunch room to be a social high-wire act; and for the second day in a row, she's presented with a mysterious envelope from an anonymous messenger.

Trenny Lynn Gibson On October 8, 1976, 16-year old, Teresa “Trenny” Gibson from Knoxville, Tennessee went to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park together with 35-40 of her classmates from Bearden High School. The students, with just one teacher and bus driver to supervise, started hiking from Andrews Bald to Clingman’s Dome and then back again along the Forney Ridge Trail. During the hike, the students separated into several smaller groups, depending on their pace. Trenny was seen with several sections of her classmates at different times throughout the day. But The last time anybody saw her was at 3:00 PM, around Clingman’s Dome when she left the path after spotting something. She was never seen again. 4. Disappearance of Gary Mathias On the night of February 24, 1978, Gary Mathias and his four friends: Jackie Huett, Ted Weiher, Jack Madruga, and William Sterling, all from Yuba, California, headed to California State University in Chico to watch a basketball game. All five men suffered from mild mental or psychiatric issues but none of these prevented them from functioning properly in society. Gary, in particular, was taking medication for schizophrenia after serving in the military having been stationed in Germany. 3. Patricia Meehan Patricia Meehan was a 37-year old who spent most her life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she grew up and studied for a career in daycare.

On April 20, 1989, Patricia was seen alive and well by her landlord. However, he felt something was “off” with her, saying she seemed “hyper.” By evening time, around 8:15 PM, a woman named Peggy Beuller and her father were driving on the Montana Highways 200 in Circle, Montana. It was there that They noticed a car driving on the wrong side of the road. Peggy’s car swerved away to avoid a collision but the car behind them wasn’t so lucky. 2.

30 Dustin Clingman & Samson Carruth! Hosted by Derek Magnuson & Will Maguire!!! at San Francisco by Comedy Sound Wave

Sometimes it can be hard to be thankful when the stress of creating the perfect holiday gets in the way. This week Fordham Conversations is about Thanksgiving stress, from making sure the turkey is perfect to learning how one of the holiday's biggest traditions runs so smoothly. Mary Clingman from the Butterball Hotline shares her experience as a turkey expert and some of the stories she's heard from stressed out callers as they prepare Thanksgiving dinner. Then, Fordham University history professor Dr. Steven Stoll talks about the first Thanksgiving and why people had reason to be stressed. Finally, Bill Schermerhorn (creative director of the Macy's Parade) explains how to pull off a parade that gets bigger and bigger each year. 

This week on StoryWeb: Mary Chesnut’s Civil War. In her book on the American Civil War, Mary Boykin Chesnut, the wife of a Confederate general, describes a woman seeking a pardon for her husband: “She was strong, and her way of telling her story was hard and cold enough. She told it simply, but over and over again, with slight variations as to words – never as to facts. She seemed afraid we would forget.” This passage is but one of many in the book that signals Chesnut’s desire to tell the story of the South during the Civil War. She wants to document history so that her readers won’t forget. At the same time, she wants to record more than just the facts of history, by telling her story over and over again artfully. Thirty years ago, I first encountered Chesnut’s writing and fell in love (total love!) with her firsthand, play-by-play accounts of the Civil War. Chesnut lived in or visited various locations throughout the South, most notably Montgomery, Alabama, Columbia, South Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia, where she came into regular contact with the Jefferson Davises and the Robert E. Lees. In every location, she opened her home to others as a social gathering place. Visiting did not end for Chesnut and the other gentile Southern ladies of her community, but now their conversations turned to war. It was widely known throughout the community that Chesnut kept a detailed diary about her society’s comings and goings and the ladies’ conversations. Because she had had a ringside seat to the Confederacy, friends pressed her to publish the diary after the war. From 1881 to 1884, she worked on a version for publication. She deleted and moved sections, added dialogue and other novel-like detail to create a hybrid of diary, memoir, autobiography, and even to some extent, novel. She wove together accounts of her own experiences with stories that others have told her and created an anthology of anecdotes about members of the Confederate society, a crazy quilt of Civil War lore. Chesnut writes, “History reveals men’s deeds – their outward characters but not themselves. There is a secret self that hath its own life ‘rounded by a dream’ – unpenetrated, unguessed.” What she attempted to give us in her revision was the “unpenetrated, unguessed” “secret self” of the women in the Confederacy. To be sure, her diary gives us an intimate glimpse into the history of the day – the official, public activities of the men of the Confederacy – but it also brings to vivid life the stories and concerns of the women of the Confederacy. Her revised diary is filled with hundreds of pages of women’s talk, gossip, and conversation, suggesting that to understand the true story of the Confederacy one need only listen more attentively to women’s voices. Unfortunately, when Chesnut died in 1886, her manuscript was unfinished. A heavily edited and abridged version was published in 1905 as A Diary from Dixie. Gone are the scenes, the dialogue, much of the story Chesnut tried to bring to life in her 1880s revision. Fast forward to 1981. Eminent Southern historian C. Vann Woodward decided to resurrect the original diaries, creating the Pulitzer-Prize-winning volume, Mary Chesnut’s Civil War. This book is, quite simply, amazing – long and rambling but amazing! Woodward has been praised for meticulously bringing to life an historical account that otherwise would have been lost. He has also been criticized for not honoring Chesnut’s authorial intent. Though I have some misgivings about Woodward’s decision to reinsert passages Chesnut clearly meant to cut, I nevertheless love the more thorough eavesdropping I get to do when reading his version. Suffice it to say, if you want a gripping account of the Civil War from the perspective of the Confederacy, read Mary Chesnut. If you want to learn more about the ideal of the “Southern lady” (the white upper-class Southern lady on her pedestal), read Mary Chesnut. And if you just plain want to listen in on other people’s conversations, read Mary Chesnut. Should you read A Diary from Dixie or Mary Chesnut’s Civil War? Despite my quibbles with Woodward’s editing, I’d recommend reading his version. It’s full, lively, dynamic – and if you are a Civil War buff or a fan of Southern history, you’ll be in heaven! Stay tuned next week for another take on the Civil War, this one also from a woman’s perspective. Laird Hunt’s novel Neverhome features an Indiana woman who disguises herself as a soldier and fights for the Union Army. Listen now as I read Mary Boykin Chesnut’s diary entries from April 1861. These excerpts – which describe the beginning of the Civil War when the Confederates fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina – are taken from Mary Chesnut’s Civil War (edited by C. Vann Woodward and published in 1981). --- April 12, 1861. Anderson will not capitulate. --- Yesterday was the merriest, maddest dinner we have had yet. Men were more audaciously wise and witty. We had an unspoken foreboding it was to be our last pleasant meeting. Mr. Miles dined with us today. Mrs. Henry King rushed in: “The news, I come for the latest news – all of the men of the King family are on the island” – of which fact she seemed proud. While she was here, our peace negotiator – or envoy – came in. That is, Mr. Chesnut returned – his interview with Colonel Anderson had been deeply interesting – but was not inclined to be communicative, wanted his dinner. Felt for Anderson. Had telegraphed to President Davis for instructions. What answer to give Anderson, etc. He has gone back to Fort Sumter, with additional instructions. When they were about to leave the wharf, A.H. Boykin sprang into the boat, in great excitement; thought himself ill-used. A likelihood of fighting – and he to be left behind! --- I do not pretend to go to sleep. How can I? If Anderson does not accept terms – at four – the orders are – he shall be fired upon. I count four – St. Michael chimes. I begin to hope. At half-past four, the heavy booming of a cannon. I sprang out of bed. And on my knees – prostrate – I prayed as I never prayed before. There was a sound of stir all over the house – pattering of feet in the corridor – all seemed hurrying one way. I put on my double gown and a shawl and went, too. It was to the housetop. The shells were bursting. In the dark I heard a man say “waste of ammunition.” I knew my husband was rowing about in a boat somewhere in that dark bay. And that the shells were roofing it over – bursting toward the fort. If Anderson was obstinate – he was to order the forts on our side to open fire. Certainly fire had begun. The regular roar of the cannon – there it was. And who could tell what each volley accomplished of death and destruction. The women were wild, there on the housetop. Prayers from the women and imprecations from the men, and then a shell would light up the scene. Tonight, they say, the forces are to attempt to land. The Harriet Lane had her wheelhouse smashed and put back to sea. --- We watched up there – everybody wondered. Fort Sumter did not fire a shot. --- Today Miles and Manning, colonels now – aides to Beauregard – dined with us. The latter hoped I would keep the peace. I give him only good words, for herwas to be under fire all day and night, in the bay carrying orders, etc. Last night – or this morning truly – up on the housetop I was so weak and weary I sat down on something that looked like a black stool. “Get up, you foolish woman – your dress is on fire,” cried a man. And he put me out. It was a chimney, and the sparks caught my clothes. Susan Preston and Mr. Venable then came up. But my fire had been extinguished before it broke out into a regular blaze. --- Do you know, after all that noise and our tears and prayers, nobody has been hurt. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. A delusion and a snare. Louisa Hamilton comes here now. This is a sort of news center. Jack Hamilton, her handsome young husband, has all the credit of a famous battery which is made of RR iron. Mr. Petigru calls it the boomerang because it throws the balls back the way they came – so Lou Hamilton tells us. She had no children during her first marriage. Hence the value of this lately achieved baby. To divert Louisa from the glories of “the battery,” of which she raves, we asked if the baby could talk yet. “No – not exactly – but he imitates the big gun. When he hears that, he claps his hands and cries ‘Boom boom.’” Her mind is distinctly occupied by three things – Lieutenant Hamilton, whom she calls Randolph, the baby, and “the big gun” – and it refuses to hold more. Pryor of Virginia spoke from the piazza of the Charleston Hotel. I asked what he said, irreverent woman. “Oh, they all say the same thing, but he made great play with that long hair of his, which is always tossing aside.” --- Somebody came in just now and reported Colonel Chesnut asleep on the sofa in General Beauregard’s room. After two such nights he must be so tired as to be able to sleep anywhere. --- Just bade farewell to Langdon Cheves. He is forced to go home, to leave this interesting place. Says he feels like the man who was not killed at Thermopylae. I think he said that unfortunate had to hang himself when he got home for very shame. Maybe fell on his sword, which was a strictly classic way of ending matters. --- I do not wonder at Louisa Hamilton’s baby. We hear nothing, can listen to nothing. Boom, boom, goes the cannon – all the time. The nervous strain is awful, alone in this darkened room. “Richmond and Washington ablaze,” say the papers. Blazing with excitement. Why not? To use these last days’ events seem frightfully great. We were all in that iron balcony. Women – men we only see at a distance now. Stark Means, marching under the piazza at the head of his regiment, held his cap in his hand all the time he was in sight. Mrs. Means leaning over, looking with tearful eyes. “Why did he take his hat off?” said an unknown creature. Mrs. Means stood straight up. “He did that in honor of his mother – he saw me.” She is a proud mother – and at the same time most unhappy. Her lovely daughter Emma is dying in there, before her eyes – consumption. At that moment I am sure Mrs. Means had a spasm of the heart. At least, she looked as I feel sometimes. She took my arm, and we came in. --- April 13, 1861. Nobody hurt, after all. How gay we were last night. Reaction after the dread of all the slaughter we thought those dreadful cannons were making such a noise in doing. Not even a battery the worse for wear. Fort Sumter has been on fire. He has not yet silenced any of our guns. So the aides – still with swords and red sashes by way of uniform – tell us. But the sound of those guns makes regular meals impossible. None of us go to table. But tea trays pervade the corridors, going everywhere. Some of the anxious hearts lie on their beds and moan in solitary misery. Mrs. Wigfall and I solace ourselves with tea in my room. These women have all a satisfying faith. “God is on our side,” they cry. When we are shut in, we (Mrs. Wigfall and I) ask, “Why?” We are told: “Of course He hates the Yankees.” “You’ll think that well of Him.” Not by one word or look can we detect any change in the demeanor of these negro servants. Laurence sits at our door, as sleepy and as respectful and as profoundly indifferent. So are they all. They carry it too far. You could not tell that they hear even the awful row that is going on in the bay, though it is dinning in their ears night and day. And people talk before them as if they were chairs and tables. And they make no sign. Are they stolidly stupid or wiser than we are, silent and strong, biding their time? So tea and toast come. Also came Colonel Manning, A.D.C. – red sash and sword – to announce that he has been under fire and didn’t mind. He said gaily, “It is one of those things – a fellow never knows how he will come out of it until he is tried. Now I know. I am a worthy descendant of my old Irish hero of an ancestor who held the British officer before him as a shield in the Revolution. And backed out of danger gracefully.” Everybody laughs at John Manning’s brag. We talked of St. Valentine’s Eve; or, The Maid of Perth and the drop of the white doe’s blood that sometimes spoiled all. The war steamers are still there, outside the bar. And there were people who thought the Charleston bar “no good” to Charleston. The bar is our silent partner, sleeping partner, and yet in this fray he is doing us yeoman service. April 15, 1861. I did not know that one could live such days of excitement. They called, “Come out – there is a crowd coming.” A mob indeed, but it was headed by Colonels Chesnut and Manning. The crowd was shouting and showing these two as messengers of good news. They were escorted to Beauregard’s headquarters. Fort Sumter had surrendered. Those up on the housetop shouted to us, “The fort is on fire.” That had been the story once or twice before. --- When we had calmed down, Colonel Chesnut, who had taken it all quietly enough – if anything, more unruffled than usual in his serenity – told us how the surrender came about. Wigfall was with them on Morris Island when he saw the fire in the fort, jumped in a little boat and, with his handkerchief as a white flag, rowed over to Fort Sumter. Wigfall went in through a porthole. When Colonel Chesnut arrived shortly after and was received by the regular entrance, Colonel Anderson told him he had need to pick his way warily, for it was all mined. As far as I can make out, the fort surrendered to Wigfall. But it is all confusion. Our flag is flying there. Fire engines have been sent to put out the fire. Everybody tells you half of something and then rushes off to tell something else or to hear the last news. Manning, Wigfall, John Preston, etc., men without limit, beset us at night. In the afternoon, Mrs. Preston, Mrs. Joe Heyward, and I drove round the Battery. We were in an open carriage. What a changed scene. The very liveliest crowd I think I ever saw. Everybody talking at once. All glasses still turned on the grim old fort. Saw William Gilmore Simms, and did not recognize him in his white beard. Trescot is here with his glasses on top of the house. --- Russell, the English reporter for the Times, was there. They took him everywhere. One man got up Thackeray, to converse with him on equal terms. Poor Russell was awfully bored, they say. He only wanted to see the forts, etc., and news that was suitable to make an interesting article. Thackeray was stale news over the water. --- Mrs. Frank Hampton and I went to see the camp of the Richland troops. South Carolina had volunteered to a boy. Professor Venable (The Mathematical) intends to raise a company from among them for the war, a permanent company. This is a grand frolic. No more. For the students, at least. Even the staid and severe-of-aspect Clingman is here. He says Virginia and North Carolina are arming to come to our rescue – for now U.S.A. will swoop down on us. Of that we may be sure. We have burned our ships – we are obliged to go on now. He calls us a poor little hot-headed, headlong, rash, and troublesome sister state. General McQueen is in a rage because we are to send troops to Virginia. There is a frightful yellow flag story. A distinguished potentate and militia power looked out upon the bloody field of battle, happening to stand always under the waving of the hospital flag. To his numerous other titles they now add Y.F. Preston Hampton in all the flush of his youth and beauty, his six feet in stature – and after all, only in his teens – appeared in lemon-colored kid gloves to grace the scene. The camp, in a fit of horseplay, seized him and rubbed them in the mud. He fought manfully but took it all naturally as a good joke. Mrs. Frank Hampton knows already what civil war means. Her brother was in the New York Seventh Regiment, so roughly received in Baltimore. Frank will be in the opposite camp. --- [No date.] Home again. In those last days of my stay in Charleston I did not find time to write a line. And so we took Fort Sumter. We – Mrs. Frank Hampton etc., in the passageway of the Mills House between the reception room and the drawing room. There we held a sofa against all comers. And indeed, all the agreeable people South seemed to have flocked to Charleston at the first gun. That was after we found out that bombarding did not kill anybody. Before that we wept and prayed – and took our tea in groups, in our rooms, away from the haunts of men. Captain Ingraham and his kind took it (Fort Sumter) from the battery with field glasses and figures made with three sticks in the sand to show what ought to be done. Wigfall, Chesnut, Miles, Manning, etc., took it, rowing about in the harbor in small boats, from fort to fort, under the enemies’ guns, bombs bursting in air, etc. And then the boys and men who worked those guns so faithfully at the forts. They took it, too – their way. Old Col. Beaufort Watts told me this story and many more of the jeunesse dorée under fire. They took it easily as they do most things. They had cotton-bag bombproofs at Fort Moultrie, and when Anderson’s shot knocked them about, someone called out, “Cotton is falling.” Down went the kitchen chimney, and loaves of bread flew out. They cheered gaily, “Breadstuffs are rising.” Willie Preston fired the shot which broke Anderson’s flagstaff. Mrs. Hampton, from Columbia, telegraphed him, “Well done, Willie!” She is his grandmother, the wife or widow of General Hampton of the Revolution, and the mildest, sweetest, gentlest of old ladies. It shows how the war is waking us all up.

1,000 miles of footpaths, roads and state bike combine to stretch the Mountains to Sea Trail from Clingman’s Dome in the Smoky Mountains to Jockey’s Ridge on the coast. In 1973, the North Carolina General Assembly passed the North Carolina Trails System Act spurring the inception of the trail. In 2000, the State Legislature designated it as a State Park. We’ll meet the inspiring founder of the Friends Of the Mountains to Sea Trail, Allen de Hart, and see how the organization’s dedicated volunteers are fulfilling the mission of building a statewide footpath.
