LINDEN’S LEGACY

My Bless A Stranger focus has been a low cost enjoyable crowdfunding effort. My first ten projects, all successfully funded, involved a music DVD, a race car, making a movie, Alaskan teens radio program, seats in a theater, a poet, a website, a writing residency, a third grade newspaper, and a poetry press. My most recent project has a few days to go and should provide me with a book. Access https://www.kickstarter.com/ type “the hat maker’s hats” in the search projects area then click on the picture shown.
 
I hope that my most recent book SOWING SEEDS OF FAITH will result in at least one person coming closer to Jesus Christ. It touches upon a means you may use that could cause another, as well as yourself, to be blessed.
It is available in both print and Kindle versions through Amazon. Please tell me if you become aware that my hope is realized.

Check Linden Swift at amazon.com to view his 3 print books and 7 Kindle E-books. Two of the print books each contain 3 of the Kindle books. Sowing Seeds of Faith is his most recent and is available both as a print book and as an E-book. Please check them out when looking for new reads or gifts.

COMMENTARY: STRAIGHTFORWARD ADVICE
When Linden first viewed the video linked below he was unaware of Charles R. Patrick. The advice this younger black man gives is something each of us can apply to our own life whether we are black, white, green or yellow. If you watch the video, you will probably agree.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
I have much to be thankful for every day: Thanksgiving Day was no exception. It started with what has become a tradition: I met Sam and Shirley and the others they treated at the former Officer’s Club at Fort Harrison for a great brunch. There were twelve of us in all. As always, it was very enjoyable. After I arrived back home, Julie and Jade came by for a visit. We talked and played and Brian called to talk to the three of us. I received several other messages: a completely good day for me!

COMMENTARY: FERGUSON: HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Today I will provide you with words sent to me: the first by a Tea Party group and the ending poem sent by my friend Bill.



Indy Defenders of Liberty West
Nov 26, 2014

Dear Winter Patriots,
The leadership at Indy Defenders of Liberty would like to wish you a great Thanksgiving Day and weekend in celebrating the blessings we have received.
To help us in our celebration and in reflection on the historical foundation of this day there are several quotations and references listed below we hope you enjoy. Perhaps you can include them in your Thanksgiving reflections and prayers with your families.

Have a Great Thanksgiving

Edward Winslow's account of the First Thanksgiving

"And God be praised we had a good increase... Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors. They four in one day killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week. At which time, amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our governor, and upon the captain and others. And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty."
Edward Winslow, Mourt's Relation: D.B. Heath, ed. Applewood Books. Cambridge, 1986. p 82





Washington's Thanksgiving Prayers
Washington's General Order November 18, 1775 Cambridge
The Honorable Legislature of this Colony having thought fit to set apart Thursday the 23d of November Instant, as a day of public thanksgiving 'to offer up our praises, and prayers to Almighty God, the Source and Benevolent Bestower of all good; That he would be pleased graciously to continue, to smile upon our Endeavours, to restore peace, preserve our Rights, and Privileges, to the latest posterity; prosper the American Arms, preserve and strengthen the Harmony of the United Colonies, and avert the Calamities of a civil war.' The General therefore commands that day to be observed with all the Solemnity directed by the Legislative Proclamation, and all Officers, Soldiers and others, are hereby directed, with the most unfeigned Devotion, to obey the same.


Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation (New York, 3 October 1789)
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.


Reasons for Thanksgiving
by Edith Shaw Batter
To have food enough and a place to dwell,
To have work to do and do it well...
To find comfort when things go wrong,
In a bit of prayer or a snatch of song...
To know the pleasure a kind act brings,
To see the beauty of simple things...
To know good books and share their worth,
To plant bright flowers in rich brown earth...
To have true friends...this is living
And reason enough for Thanksgiving!

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
Wednesday I had breakfast at the Diner which had recently reopened in downtown Plainfield after being located East of Plainfield for years. Two of the waitresses who had previously served our Thursday guys breakfast are now working at the Diner. Went on to the Chamber of Commerce and the post office, then home. Watched Butler win a basketball game.

COMMENTARY: FERGUSON: WHERE WAS THE LAW?
As the looting was rampant, the fires numerous, and the damage to small business owners, many minority owned, was crushing, one has to ask “ where was the law being enforced and the National Guard did what?” The answer is that our top leadership, meaning Obama and Holder, do not want the law to be enforced. It appears that the “unarmed” person killed was a criminal, was possibly under the influence of drugs, and was quite capable of killing the Officer with his bare hands is of little interest to the media or supporters of the criminal element. He had already attacked the Officer and was possibly returning to finish the job. Aaaaargh!!! The article linked below is well worth your time to read.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
My Tuesday started with meeting a friend for cinnamon rolls and coffee at a restaurant. From there, I dropped off my recyclables and picked up my post office mail. Then, because I slept so poorly last night, I napped in the recliner. Then, I went to the credit union, two stores, and picked up my delivered mail.

COMMENTARY: WORTHWHILE ARTICLE & COMMENTS
It is quite possible that Linden has previously written posts that are similar in nature to the article linked below but, if so, they were not as well written. It touches upon the absolute lack of clarity in the democrat passed Obamacare Bill. Linden is done thinking about disgusting subjects for the rest of the day.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
Despite the cold, extremely windy, and spitting rain day this was a very busy Monday. Starting with breakfast at Chick-fil-A then on two banks, my credit union, the post office (twice), two groceries,a gas station, Pier 14 and sandwiching in activities around home it is no wonder that I am a bit tired.

COMMENTARY: THIS IS GLOBAL WARMING!
If you think that the title of this piece indicates that Linden has no faith in the governmental and academic hustle that the earth is suffering from a man caused global warming disaster, you are correct. The amount of taxpayer funds used to perpetuate this myth borders on criminality. Latest news is that all 50 States had temperatures below freezing and the snowfall in Buffalo is now reported to have caused 13 deaths. And we have a generation has been taught (at high expense) to believe in global warming. Theft!

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
Friday started with Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00 followed with doing a load of wash and going to two stores and the post office. Dan and Diana brought me a truly great roll in the afternoon.
Saturday Sam drove out and we had a good breakfast at the Avon Legion and we had a good visit. Talked to Brian and watched I.U. play football and basketball.
Sunday brought church and Sunday School attendance followed by brunch with friends. Watched the Colts win a football game. Rainy day.

COMMENTARY: LINDEN LOVES WISCONSIN
Wednesday brought such a touching message from Joy and her third grade class in Reedsville, WI that it brought tears to my eyes. As a result of my mission trip to TCM in Austria in 2007 I was later blessed with the friendship of Katia of Mount Pleasant…on Thursday she blessed me with another undeserved gift. I have to be the luckiest old man in Plainfield, IN.
-----
MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
Thursday started with five of us being present for our small group breakfast meeting…they are always enjoyable. It took a while to get my info straightened out to the point that I could post my blog…that’s two days in a row that it has not worked as it should. I failed to mention in my above words regarding Wisconsin that I am favorably impressed with their Governor Scott Walker. In the evening I went to a dinner and program presented by Youth For Christ…good food at Serendipity and a good presentation. I got home in time to see most of the I.U. basketball team win a game.

COMMENTARY: THE WAR ON MARRIAGE
Some call it “The War On Poverty” but that was not the purpose at all. The purpose of Lyndon Johnson and the democrats who brought this law into being was to wreck the black family and it was highly successful in doing so. Linden remembers when the average black family was not so different from the average white family…it was roughly fifty years ago. It is baffling that a high percentage of black voters fail to understand the cause of much of their discontentment. The article linked below addresses this subject.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
I usually start my day by posting my blog except on Friday when I’m at church early. On Wednesday the computer was balky so I went for breakfast at Chick-fil-A. While there I noticed a column by a black female staff writer that attempted to address problems within the black community. Having read some of her opinions previously, I didn’t finish reading the column. What I did think was that this writer needs a history lesson. I’ve had that thought before. I would call the linked article to her attention but think it would be a waste of time. Back home I talked to both Brian and Julie…mostly about my concern regarding my vision. It always makes for a good day when I speak to both of them. In the evening I had dinner and attended a study at church.

COMMENTARY: NOT ALL STATEMENTS ARE TRUE
Linden knows that the title of this piece provides nothing new to his readers. However, the linked Thomas Sowell article flies completely in the face of the black hustlers and a high percentage of the democrat party. Hard to understand the level of support the democrats get from the black population. The second linked article, Linden believes, illustrates the shoddy education that is being provided to many students. A student should be able to believe that their instructor is honest, accurate and unbiased. It ain’t happenin’.

Started the day with a trip to the eye doctor. They dilated the eyes so I was inactive at home the rest of the day: had to cancel a luncheon engagement. The eyes were good enough that I watched I.U. win a basketball game in the evening. It is a concern but I think it will be okay.

My first ten projects, all successfully funded, involved a music DVD, a race car, making a movie, Alaskan teens radio program, seats in a theater, a poet, a website, a writing residency, a third grade newspaper, and a poetry press. My most recent project has a few days to go and should provide me with a book. Access https://www.kickstarter.com/ type “the hat maker’s hats” in the search projects area then click on the picture shown.
 
I hope that my most recent book SOWING SEEDS OF FAITH will result in at least one person coming closer to Jesus Christ. It touches upon a means you may use that could cause another, as well as yourself, to be blessed.
It is available in both print and Kindle versions through Amazon. Please tell me if you become aware that my hope is realized.

Check Linden Swift at amazon.com to view his 3 print books and 7 Kindle E-books. Two of the print books each contain 3 of the Kindle books. Sowing Seeds of Faith is his most recent and is available both as a print book and as an E-book. Please check them out when looking for new reads or gifts.

Check Linden Swift at http://www.youtube.com for music and more. I found that I could start the first song then scroll down and click on “linden swift” just above “subscribe” and click on the #13 song and the entire CD will play in reverse order.

COMMENTARY: FIRST PRESIDENT TO …
Linden did not check for the absolute accuracy and honesty in the long list of errors committed by our President but did check a few of the actions and found nothing to doubt. In looking at writings of the author Linden was not favorably impressed with some of his language. But, the purpose of this is not to judge the author, it is to look closely at our President.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
Friday brought Men’s Prayer Breakfast, the usual tasks, talked to Jack about his health issue, corresponded with Brian and Julie, and did paperwork.
On Saturday Lloyd picked me up and we went to Kingsway for a good meeting with a small group of men. Went to the credit union and talked a bit about traveling to Ireland. Corresponded with Brian, talked to Bill and Jack about their health and went to Paul and Judy’s where she downloaded a Kindle book for me.
Sunday brought church attendance but I didn’t stay for Sunday School because I was having problems with my “good” eye. Then, home for the day.

COMMENTARY: A TASK FOR YOU
For the sake of the well being of you, your loved ones and your descendents please take the time and trouble to write a note to your representatives in Congress reciting your opposition to any long term budget continuing resolution. A continuing resolution may become necessary, thanks to the shoddy approach of the current Senate, but it should probably expire around the middle of February and be replaced by a well thought out actual budget. Baseline budgeting should never again be used. More from here in that regard later. The article linked below addresses this subject and the comments following the article are interesting.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
On Thursday I had breakfast with the guys, two were absent, and then, at 11:30 we had the annual Golden Glows Thanksgiving luncheon served by the church staff. It was a great meal with probably over 300 people attending. A great musical program delivered by the Reen Family Singers followed the meal. Later I went to the post office, the car repair shop, a bank and the credit union. It was a full and pleasing day. We had some snow flurries.

COMMENTARY: BUTTRESSING LINDEN
On several occasions in the past Linden has referred to the democrat party as the party of evil and the Republican Party as the Party Of Good. Now it seems that he has influenced another to join him in this thought. Perhaps, rather than Linden being the one who influenced, they were already straight thinkers. Read the articles and view the video linked below for elaboration.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
On Wednesday Brenda drove in from Cloverdale, picked me up and we then joined Bob and his wife, Pati, for a long and very enjoyable lunch together. Brenda, Bob and I worked together several years ago for the Indiana Dept. of Correction. In the evening I had dinner and then attended a study at church.

COMMENTARY: LEARNING FROM THE STATES
Apparently voters across the nation have become aware of the success of the Republican led states and localities, Linden thinks of Wisconsin and Indiana. This has resulted in the Republican Party being in better shape nationwide than they have been in roughly 95 years. The article linked below expands on this.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
Tuesday started with breakfast at Chick-fil-A and then on to a gas station and a grocery. Back home, Paul had called and wanted to go to lunch so it was back to C-f-A where I had a very good chocolate shake. We sat with Jack and Helen and Wayne was working there. I watched some boxing before bedtime.

COMMENTARY: VETERANS DAY
Where would you be if none of our veterans had been willing to serve? It is possible that you would not exist at all and neither would your loved ones. It is possible that there would be no upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, no food stamps, no car in every garage, no nice homes in the suburbs, and little or no hope for the future. The veterans are owed a huge debt of gratitude as are those in the military who are currently serving.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com
Monday started with breakfast at Chick-fil-A and then continued with trips to the credit union and to pick up my post office mail. In the evening I attended a meeting regarding Ghana Christian Mission: it was nice to visit with Enoch a bit. It was also nice to see mention and pictures of some of the Hendricks County veterans in the November 8 Hendricks County Flyer. I am blessed.
