The Odyssey Of The Lone Ranger – Hero Of My Youth
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
One of America’s true “heroes of yesteryear” was a stalwart, ostensibly imaginary icon from those long gone Old West days “when men weremen (and women were happy that they were)”—a true “role model” who, starting on January 30, 1933, began to thunder across the plains of our minds riding his great white stallion, ‘Silver’. The America of my youth (mid-1930’s to the late 1950’s)—and perhaps yours also—was a time of similar heroes who existed in the realm of imagination, and in the tales of folklore so avidly listened to over that “pictureless contraption” called a ‘radio’. Can you imagine: kids and adults sattogether in front ofthat electronic wonder, with its single poor quality speaker, long before the days of television, cell phones, the internet, space travel, identity politics, texting, “woke-ism”, pronoun confusion, and (thank God) “social media”, and we were forced to use our MINDS—our imaginations—as a thrilling tale went audibly into our ears and unfolded onto the personal “screens” of our own built-in movie theater that existed inside our heads.

THE BATTLE OF THERMOPYLAE SHOULD INSPIRE ALL FREEDOM-LOVING PEOPLE
On three late summer days a little over 2500 years ago, an event occurred that shaped the spirit of resistance to tyranny from that time to this very day. What motivates people, when faced with insurmountable odds and the almost certainty of their own deaths, to nevertheless take a stand against the forces of evil that they see swiftly enveloping them? Over untold centuries, men and women have fought and died for principles, for home and country, for the survival of their loved ones, for their faith, or simply because the alternative of giving up and surrendering to the Dark Forces was unthinkable. These people realized the eternal truth that often, and perhaps always, death is better than life as a slave who is forced to serve the enemies of God and freedom!

Danger: The Proposed South Carolina "Health Czar" Legislation will be Hazardous to Your FREEDOM!
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
WARNING: THE PROPOSED "HEALTH CZAR" LEGISLATION PENDING IN COLUMBIA WILL BE DANGEROUS NOT ONLY TO YOUR HEALTH, POTENTIALLY, BUT WILL BE VERY DANGEROUS TO YOUR CONTINUED FREEDOM TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN MEDICAL CARE AND ACT AS YOU THINK BEST FOR YOU!
Before reading my thoughts, please read the late and great patriot, Walter William's warning, below. It surely forces us to focus on the PENDING "reconciliation" of S 915 and H4927, which would establish a TRUE MEDICAL TYRANNY HERE IN S.C., and which would create a new 'EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF HEALTH AND POLICY", which would be consolidated as the SOLE POWER over several presently existing agencies, that now are under the control of the S.C. Governor.

James Patterson’s Journal – The Story of the Congregation of Andria Church During the Dark Time (Patterson’s Tale #2)
“For the next 3 months or so, we concentrated on restoring the old house back to as close to its original condition as we could. We repaired the water damaged floors and window frames and sills. A carpenter in the village, whose name was Jozef, was sympathetic to the Jesus Sect and measured all the doors and windows, and along with his son, Justin, made us new ones and installed them, charging only 2 cows and 1 bull, plus a sow pig and 5 piglets. My uncle Trika, my father’s youngest brother, felt that this was too high a price to pay for the carpenter’s work and was just about to head off to his shop/home to threaten him when my Uncle Jorgan stopped him, reminding him that although the carpenter was a pagan, he and his son were trusted friends to the JS people, which in Andria village at that time meant a lot. Trika apologized to Uncle Jorgan for his hot temper.

A “PROPHETIC” TALE OF PERSECUTION, RESISTANCE, AND COURAGE IN FAR FUTURE TIME.
Imagine, if you will, a small group of archaeologists working in and under an ancient building high over the banks of the Tomak River, close to a small city named Andria, in the country known as The United Republics of the East (U.R.E). It is a building that has survived the ravages of time and the hatred of malevolent forces over most of its existence. Perhaps sometime in the mid-part of the 28th century these archaeologists make a historical find underneath that newly renovated and restored ancient building on the banks of that river, a building that was around 900 years old at that time and that had been used as a church by the Sectof Jesus Followers for a century or more, during a time of severe persecution of Christians. Imagine, then, that in a sealed metal box buried under that church over 300 yearspreviously, they discover a personal journal written by an Elder of that Church. So here is his and his Christian brethren’s story of fear and faithfulness, of peace and violence, of resistance and defeats, of loves for each other and of their Savior, as written down sometime in the early 25th century—near the end of the “Dark Time”--far, far into our own future, which we who live today in the year 2024 will bring about by what we do, or DON’T do!

To Reiterate: It Would Appear That We’re Living In “Perilous Times”
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
Let me open this long “cyber sermon” with a side-by-side comparison of 2nd Timothy 3:1-5, in both my favorite “old” 1599 Geneva Bible and in my favorite “new” New International Version of the Bible. I know that some readers are unfamiliar with the Geneva Bible, and some are adamantly against reading any “modern” version of God’s Word beyond the 1611 Authorized KJV—but please indulge me, and we’ll get through this. Here is what the Triune Creator of All has to say about the “times” we are living in:

Can We Change “The History Of Our Future?
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
“Are these the shadows of the things that will be, or are they shadows of things that may be, only?... Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead. But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change….Say it is thus with what you show me.”
So said Ebenezer Scrooge to the “Spirit of Christmas Future”, in Charles Dickens’ classic 1843 novel, “A Christmas Carol”, one of his most popular and enduring books, one that pierced the souls of middle and upper class Victorian England, and forced them to confront how they treated the poor and overworked lower classes, and especially the children of those classes, in a country that changed the world in so many respects, but found it difficult to change how the people of England treated each other, at a time when the “Chartist Movement”---a leftist/socialist/Marxist style “people’s movement”, probably organized by descendants of Adam Weishaupt’s Satanic “Order ofIlluminati, raged throughout portions of Great Britain, and Christianity was still the prevalent religious and societal mandate among the proud middle and snobbish upper classes, at least on the surface.

Freedom’s 12 Everlasting Principles

“And shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” - John 8;32 1599 Geneva Bible
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - John 8:32 NIV.
Some of the following words are mine—but the original thoughts are not. ALL of these concepts and words of wisdom belonged originally to others who pondered Freedom’s Principles before me—in some cases hundreds or thousands of years before. That’s what makes them so unique, for no matter how “old” these ideas are, or in what age they originated, or the circumstances that cause them to resurface in times of stressful “human events”, they never truly become outdated, because“principles” that can assure—and have done sofor many centuries—the survival of human liberty are eternal!

February 22, 1770-Harbinger of Revolution?

BOSTON: THE SEEDBED OF ANTI-BRITISH SENTIMENT
I’ve been to Boston, Massachusetts several times, and aside from the horrid traffic, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each visit. Great food, especially at the venerable Union Oyster House and the now defunct Durgin Park restaurant, and lots of one of my favorite subjects: History. My wife and I have walked “The Freedom Trail” through Boston several times (the last two visits with our family), and each of our “treks through history” has taken us to OldGranary Burial Ground, which is full of the graves of the famous (Paul Revere, John Hancock, Sam Adams, James Otis, Mary (not Mother) Goose, Benjamin Franklin’s parents, Robert Treat Paine), and the not-so- famous of our early history. One grave marker in that ancient cemetery has always intrigued me, for carved on it are the names of five people whose deaths have been well documented in history. They are the five Bostonians who were killed by British soldiers during the infamous “Boston Massacre” on March 5, 1770, which occurred in front of the Old Statehouse Building: (Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Crispus Attucks, and Patrick Carr). I’ve stood on the exact spot where they died. It is the 6th person that usually eluded my attention, the death of whom might have been THE catalyst that eventually ignited our American Revolution.

THE DARK TIME
(CA. 2300 A.D.—CA. 2400’s A.D.)
(A continuation of a lecture by a fictional “history professor” to a class of young adults, sometime in the 32nd century.)
“We ended our last class session as one of the most gruesome and evil episodes in mankind’s history—“The Nationality Wars”—began to run down, leaving those who survived to face an even more terrible scenario. During the period of these “Nationality Wars” (ca. late 2100s A.D. – early 2300s A.D.), another religious group was attacked by the mostly Christian, or pseudo-Christian, survivors or descendants of those who had lived in the Old United States.
“People of the “Moslemist Faith” were hunted down and killed or driven into exile into Old Mamoda. This conflict appears to have begun during the early decades of The Nationality Wars, and may have been precipitated by the violence between the Chin Empire and the New Euro “Inshalists” (a Euro sect of the Moslemists of the Great Northern Continent, or GNC). By the mid point of The Nationality Wars most of the Moslemists of the GNC had escaped into what was known then as The Mamooden Protectorate, taking their faith with them. This religious tradition became the dominant (and only) religious belief allowed in Old Mamooda, and was known as “Mamoodism”, or “The Mamooden Faith” by the early 2500’s A.D.

What Have You – What Have I – “Earned”?
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
Before we begin our foray into this topic, let’s examine how Webster’s Dictionary defines the word: “earn”:
- To receive as return for effort and especially for work done or services rendered; to bring in by way of return;
- To come to be duly worthy of or entitled or suited to—i.e. ‘she earned a promotion’;
- To make worthy of or obtain for—i.e. ‘the suggestion earned him a promotion.
Seems pretty cut and dried, doesn’t it? But what does it really take to “earn” something? Obviously it takes an expenditure of time and/or effort. Often an outlay of money is involved, as in investing in more education in order to “earn” a higher income in future years (or so it used to be). According to the dictionary definitions above, there are also non-monetary ways of “earning” something, such as earning another person’s trust. This type of “earning” requires a degree of character that is sometimes more difficult to attain, and can be more challenging to accomplish.

(A continuation of a lecture by a fictional “history professor” to a class of young adults, sometime in the 32nd century.)
“We concluded our last session detailing the splitting apart of the original Old United States into several smaller countries, and the rise and fall of what was the most successful of those smaller countries—The Confederated Republics of America. This session will deal with what many historians call the beginning of the end of civilization on the Great Northern Continent. Similar evils were perpetrated on the Great Southern Continent during this time also, but we’ll limit the scope of this delving into man’s evil nature just to the GNC and to Euro.

Some Thoughts To Ponder For A New Year
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
“And he said, Hearken ye all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou, King Jehoshaphat: Thus saith the Lord unto you, Fear you not, neither be afraid for this great multitude: FOR THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS, BUT GOD’S” (2nd Chronicles 20:15-17; 1599 Geneva Bible).
ARE WE STILL WILLING TO “OBEY GOD” BY RESISTING TYRANNY?
For those of you who are unaware, the 1599 Geneva Bible was the Bible used by our PILGRIM Forefathers and Mothers (they didn’t trust the recently published 1611 King James Version because they disliked King James--i.e. they disapproved of his “suspected” homosexual proclivities, and his allegiance to The Church of England, with its “anti-Calvinist” inclinations—the Geneva Bible is full of helpful “margin notes”, and is strongly “Calvinist” in its teachings, both of which King James disapproved). It was read and preached from during the dangerous and tedious 66-day Atlantic voyage from England to the New World during the harsh fall of 1620. It’s the “original” Bible I prefer to use.

It Is Christmas Time – Let Us Rejoice!

- Category: W.H. Lamb
“Some people have made transformational changes in…human learning or in one aspect of human life, and their names are forever enshrined in the annals of human history. But Jesus Christ, the greatest man who ever lived, changed virtually every aspect of human life—and most people don’t know it. The greatest tragedy of the Christmas holiday each year is not so much its commercialization…but its trivialization. How tragic it is that people have forgotten Him to whom they owe so very much.” (Rev. D. James Kennedy, in What If Jesus Had Never Been Born?, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1994, p. 1).

The America That Once Was (A Christmas Memory)

HAS THE “SPIRIT” OF CHRISTMAS LEFT US?
At age 87 I have a lot of mostly good memories of Christmases past—of the America that once was (but is no more), and of the many people who “traveled” with me over my life’s road, at least for part of it. How much more time I’ll have to enjoy all of these memories only my Savior and LORD Jesus knows. But I would like to share a few of these “old” memories with you once again. So bear with me. Perhaps you share similar memories. I hope so. If not now, then when you get “old and experienced”, like me.

An Early Christmas Story—Again!
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
Note: This touching story was published in The Times Examiner last December 2022. But it touched a lot of people. “Christmas”, as we all should know, is NOT about Santa Claus and his reindeer bringing us presents, nor about snowmen or “grinches”. It’s not even about “Charlie Brown” and his wonderful recitation of the true meaning of Christmas, right from God’s Word. (THANK YOU, Charles Schultz for your brave stand, long ago, against CBS). It’s not really about family gatherings, with special dinners, although they are usually memorable. It’s not about getting lots of presents, mostly stuff we don’t really need. Christmas is more about “giving”, more about focusing on one’s true faith and sharing it with others. It’s about doing, not just talking. Christmas is about----------well, I’ll leave that up to you to decide.

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, W. H. (Bill) Lamb is a graduate of Cleveland State University (Ohio); being graduated in 1960, he moved to South Carolina in 1964. For many years he was an Industrial engineer, Chief Industrial engineer, and plant manager in the steel, electronics, and apparel industries in Ohio, South Carolina, and Alabama. In his younger days, he was an avid hiker in the Southern mountains, a target shooter, and is still an avid student of both American history and ancient Egyptian history.
He is an avid and long-time writer, concentrating on political and cultural issues of concern to America's Christian Patriot community. He was published in the Lancaster, S.C. "News" during the mid-to-late 1960's, and has been a Local Columnist published in the Greenville, SC The Times Examiner since 1999. The late and great Christian Patriot, Col. Bobby Dill, was his first Editor. During those years he has had several hundred articles published in The Times Examiner, which he always refers to as "a great journal of truth"!
He has had one book published, a 120-page novel set in our future, titled "The History of Our Future", and two unpublished 750-page sequels "Waiting in the Wings" to be published "someday". Bill has been married to Barbara for 65 years, has two adult (and aging) kids, five grandkids, six great-grandkids, and a "feisty and opinionated" 80 lb. Pit Lab named Hayley, who admittedly runs the entire house.
A very long-time member, with Barbara, of The patriotic John Birch Society, he believes that it is the duty of ALL Christians to also be dedicated patriots and do everything possible to both resist the evil of collectivism that is smothering Western Civilization and to do his best to educate and motivate his fellow Americans in the preservation of our unique Constitutional Republic, and most importantly, to share the love of his Savior with others.
