An Early Christmas Story—Again!

- Category: W.H. Lamb
![Lamb 2023 Christmas Early](/images/18-08/Lamb---2023-Christmas-Early.jpg)
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.

The Past Is Always “Prologue," But So Is The Present!
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
![The White Ship Lamb](/images/18-08/The-White-Ship---Lamb.jpg)
THE TRAGIC STORY OF “THE WHITE SHIP”
First off, let’s define the word: “prologue”. Webster’s defines it as ‘anintroductory or preceding event or development’. In a literary work it is often called a ‘preface’, a commentary or explanation that the author includes to clarify the story or the facts that are to follow. The term, ‘the past is prologue’, tells us that, in real life, almost EVERYTHING in the past can bea prologue—or a causative event-- to whatfollows it. Thus, my responding to my “four-legged alarm clock” at 8:30 a.m., and dragging myself out of bed this morning was my ‘prologue’ to getting her breakfast and taking her out for her “morning activity”. That’s a fairly easy concept to grasp. What is more complicated to fathom is how the past of each one of us—I mean the really “long gone past”—has affected who we are, into what family we were born, and even in what country we originated. Now that’s kind of deep, isn’t it? In addition, it’s quite fascinating to “conjecture” various “present scenarios” resulting from a series of “past prologues” that might have happened but didn’t, e.g. a person of the past never existed or an event of the past never occurred. How would that affect our present? In some cases perhaps not at all, or only minimally. In other cases world history would be changed.

Earth – The Real Red Planet

![Earth the Real Red Planet](/images/18-08/Earth-the-Real-Red-Planet.jpg)
“None are more hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.” - Johann Von Goethe (1749-1832)
Yes, I know. Mars is called the “Red Planet”. Over the past few decades we’ve seen some phenomenal pictures from the various NASA “Vikings”, “Mariners”, “Pathfinders”, and “Rovers”, those intrepid little explorers who send back great panoramas and detailed photos of Mars over 200 million miles or more back to Earth. As Mr. Spock from Star Trek might comment: “Fascinating”! But when I observe the “color” of Planet Earth, normally called the “blue planet”, I’m referring to the “color” of its prevailing political structures, which are heavily skewed to the collectivist/socialist and destructive to freedom leftist hue---RED (the despicable socialist commies are not generically referred to as “blues”, are they?)

THE “FIRST THANKSGIVING” MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE FIRST “THANKSGIVING”!
It’s sad that so much of truthful American history is being, or has already been, forgotten, consigned to Big Brother’s “memory hole” of left wing political correctness or “woke” insanity that infests what passes for public “education” in the U.S. A case in point is the story of what for a long time has been considered as the “First Thanksgiving”---the one we’ve always heard about—the one that took place in Plymouth, Massachusetts, not the mostly unknown but probable true “firstThanksgiving” in America that took place in Jamestown, Virginia soon after those settlers arrived around 1608 (of course, the folks in St. Augustine, Florida claim that they celebrated the “first Thanksgiving” service sometime around 1565, long before the Jamestown settlers---but that’s a story for another time).

Without Doubt We Do Have A National Death Wish

![Without Doubt We Do Have A National Death Wish](/images/18-08/Without-Doubt-We-Do-Have-A-National-Death-Wish.jpg)
As of last September 17, 2023, our nation—the United States of America—has existed as a Constitutional Republic for 236 years, thanks to the wisdom, the faith, the fortitude, and the willingness to reach compromises, on the part of our Founders who signed the 1787 constitution and, a few years later, our Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to that constitution. During those 236 years our venerable constitution has weathered many attacks against it, and has been amended (often unwisely) a total of 27 times. Despite the hordes of calumnies directed against our constitution by mental midgets and Godless collectivists, and especially against those inspired men who codified the God-given rights enshrined therein, our federal Constitution has stood the test of time by providing a national “blueprint” for the governance of our nation through war and peace, through good and bad economic times, through disasters caused by human foibles and corruption and treason, and increasingly through the shadowy conspiracies of “Un-Americans” who were—and still are-- determined to end this “experiment in self-government” in favor of some form of collectivist coercion or authoritative tyranny, forms of “government” for which those treasonous Devil’s spawn have always lusted.

Amanda’s Tale #3 – The Descent Of Darkness – Atlanta, Summer, 2148 A.D.

Amanda stepped to the side of the vault, and told Mary to stand in front of the voice computer input on the front of the vault.
“Mary, my faithful employee and friend, I’m giving you the access code to this vault. Write it down on that memo pad I know you always carry with you. Then memorize it and destroy that paper.” She gave Mary the code, and told her to verbally input the code sequence, which she did. “Pull the door open, Mary,” Amanda requested. As the younger woman opened the vault door, Amanda turned to her. “Mary, I don’t know what future you or Min will have, considering what is facing our country, but for what it’s worth, except for this house I’m leaving everything I have to the both of you. I have no children or surviving family, so now you are my heirs. It’s all been done legally, here in this will.” She removed a document from one of the shelves and opened it.

“I’ve got some savings and a few investments left, Mary,” replied Amanda. “I went to the State Bank last week and got enough cash to last us for a couple of months. The “No Nos” didn’t find it, I’m sure. Help me to the riser, and I’ll go down and open the vault. Min, you stay up here and try to clean up as best you can. We won’t be long.”
The lower level of the Jennings mansion, formerly the scene of many delightful parties, dances, and recitals by young musicians, was trashed even worse than the upstairs. Smashed and slashed furniture was scattered around the rooms, and all of the valuable original and rare paintings by famous artists of the past 200 years had been removed and burned in the back yard. Her prized photo images of many of her special gatherings had also been consigned to the fires of stupidity and mindless rage set by the mob of modern Neanderthals trying to destroy the “demons” of the past, as the “No Nos” and their demagogic leaders taught the new masses.

Born To Run – God’s Gold Medalist

“They shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary” - Isaiah 40:31
![Lamb Eric Liddell 1](/images/18-08/Lamb-Eric-Liddell-1.jpg)
Some people seem “born to run”. I was never one of that number, but some men and women make it look easy; their Creator apparently blessed them with “swift genes” and invisible “wings” on their feet. One of these people who loved to run was a Scotsman named Eric Henry Liddell (1902-1945). God blessed Eric with a love for running that I never had, to such an extent that during his university days he was considered the fastest runner in Scotland. He was awarded a Gold Medal in the 1924 Paris Olympics for winning the “400 Meter” race, an event in which he had been given almost no chance ofmedaling, for his true specialty was the “100 Meter” race, from which Liddell had previously withdrawn. Why would a world-class runner withdraw from an event that he was favored to win? Therein lies the story of this special man, the future missionary who seemed to have “wings on his feet”, but who left the world of sports to serve his LORD and Savior in China.

In The Mansions Of The Lord

“ 2) In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, 3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also” - John 14:2-3, KJV
“2) My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” - John 14: 2-3, NIV
WHAT ARE “HEAVENLY MANSIONS” IN SCRIPTURE?
Dictionaries define the word “mansion” as “a large, impressive house; astately residence”. That’s the picture that most modern people have when they think of a “mansion”. The writer of the Book of John, inspired by the Holy Spirit, used that word in the KJV translation of God’s Word, in John 14:2. The Anglicized version of the original old word used by the writer of John was “monay”, which meant a dwelling, or an abode, but did not infer avery large or stately dwelling, as we normally think of as today’s meaning of the word. The translators of the NIV version of God’s Word used the word “rooms” rather than mansions, which still gives readers the implication that Jesus was talking about “abodes”, or places to live.

THE BIRTH, LIFE, AND DEATH OF THE CONFEDERATED REPUBLICS OF AMERICA, CA. 2050/55 A.D.-CA. 2150 A.D.
“In our last class session I discussed that by around the year 2050 A.D., large numbers of people from parts of the by-now disintegrating Old United States, many of the militia groups that had been battling against the increasingly tyrannical government of that now-extinct nation and the military of the Chin Empire that had occupied much of it, plus many thousands of the members of the armed military forces that had been serving under the old “We The People” Constitution of the United States, and who still adhered in varying degrees to that constitution, began congregating (mostly for safety and survival) in the Southeastern part of the GreatNorthernContinent, and as they arrived, began to declare themselves to be a “New, Free, and Independent Nation” whose name, they decided in an early founding meeting, was to be The Confederated Republics of America, named such due to all of the former “states” of the Old United States that had declared themselves a part of the new Confederation, and who now considered themselves to be free and independent “republics”.

If Eternal Vigilance Is Still The Price For Our Freedom, Why Have So Many Americans Refused To Pay That Price?
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
“The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance, which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.”
John Curran (1750-1817), Irish lawyer and statesman. From a speech given in Dublin, Ireland on July 10, 1790. (Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations, John Bartlett, Ed., Brown & Co., 1968, p. 454).
![John Philpot Curran](/images/18-08/John-Philpot-Curran.jpg)
It has long been postulated that it was Thomas Jefferson who first said, “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”. However, it’s now considered very doubtful that Jefferson ever uttered those famous words. Others of our Founders may have expressed similar thoughts during their conflict with Great Britain, but it was Irishman John Curran who iscredited with the original coining of that sentiment. Without any doubt, constant vigilance has always been a key element in the eons-long battle of mankind to attain or retain some degree of freedom and limited self-government, two indispensable elements in the forging of a life worth living that have been historically denied far too often to most of mankind by conniving and ruthless parts of the human “herd”.

Life really is much harder if you’re stupid, especially if you’re deliberately stupid. Words to that effect were uttered by the hard-nosed (but soft hearted) Sergeant Stryker in the great old 1949 film, “Sands of Iwo Jima”, and portrayed so well by John Wayne (1907-1979), one of the most unique actors that American film has ever produced and who, despite his failures and shortcomings was one of the most sincere patriots our country has ever produced. An iconoclast of leftist/progressive causes, Wayne was a strong supporter (in his later life) of traditional Americanism and the constitutional form of government given to Americans by our Founders. As he matured, he became a political conservative, much to the chagrin of the leftist vermin and brain damaged“ moonbats” who increasingly dominated Hollywood during most of his career.

Beneath whose awful (awesome) hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget!

A native of Cleveland, Ohio W. H. (Bill) Lamb was graduated from Cleveland State University (Ohio) in 1960, and relocated 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.
He is a long time student of both American history and ancient Egyptian history, and has long admired the stalwart people who founded the British colonies and pre-dynastic Egypt, two groups that left permanent marks on human civilization.
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 in Greenville’s “The Times Examiner” since 1999. The late Christian Patriot, Col. Bobby Dill, was his first editor for The Times Examiner, the publication he always refers to as “a great journal of truth”.
Married to Barbara for 65 years, he has two adult kids, five grandkids, and six great grandkids, plus a “feisty and opinionated” 80 lb. Pit Lab named Hayley, who runs the entire house.
A long time member, with Barbara, of the patriotic John Birch Society, he believes that it is the duty of ALL Christians to first, share the love of his Savior, Jesus, with others, and then to be dedicated patriots and do everything possible to both resist the evil of collectivism that is smothering Western Civilization and educate and motivate his fellow Americans in the preservation of our unique Constitutional Republic.
