"Newspaper Update / George Harrison's Wall"

Good news and bad news, about the newspaper.  The new edition (February's) came out yesterday and the editor DID print my poem, the one with the "hidden in plain sight" imagery declaring Jesus as being superior to Islam!!  (Did the editor KNOW about my "hidden message"?? I don't know...she SHOULD have figured it out, but I'm not going to to ask her, Lol!!  I'm just happy it got printed!!)   And not only did she PRINT my poem, "as is," but she gave me a one half page in the paper this time (see photo above) with an attention-getting GRAPHIC at the bottom. Wow. In the previous five years I've never received more than a QUARTER page (see photo below, of LAST issue, to see how I was "upgraded" this month.)

I'm very HAPPY my poem got The Royal Treatment, but now here's the bad news.

First, the Muslim man was given another full page of prose to distort Christianity, this time he actually wrote about Moses crossing the Red Sea, Lol!!  Secondly, my Christian friend's REBUTTAL to the Muslim's distortions about Jesus' s Birth from LAST issue did not appear in print, even after he modified it to try to please (appease) the Christian editor!!  And thirdly, my OTHER Christian friend, who submits OPENLY Christian poems each issue, had NOTHING of hers printed this time around.  (Meanwhile, ANOTHER poet had her SECULAR poem reprinted TWICE...the very same poem...in the new issue, on opposite pages.  The very same poem...printed TWICE!! The editor cannot use "I didn't have space" as an excuse to NOT print my friend's openly Christian poem!!)

The message is clear: The MUSLIM guy can openly speak about HIS faith, and even about the CHRISTIAN faith, but Christians can't openly rebut his errors or openly speak about OUR faith and CERTAINLY not about HIS.  For now, I'm sticking WITH this paper as I've found a way AROUND this censorship but I don't know what the future holds for me there, with this publication.  Please pray, if so inclined, that I'll have wisdom, integrity and a desire to please CHRIST AND CHRIST ALONE.  Thank you!!

George Harrison's Wall.  Ex-Beatle George Harrison had good reason to be concerned about his safety after John Lennon was slain and after he, himself received death threats.  He had a huge WALL around his mansion with alarms, cameras, barbed wire fencing, and so on.  No one ever called him a RACIST for doing this, they rather considered him a REALIST, for taking precautions.

Well, on New Years Eve 1999, someone got OVER his wall somehow and stabbed George 40 times in his home.  Miraculously, he lived through that (he died about two years later, of natural causes) but even though someone got PAST his wall he never regretted HAVING it.  The fact that someone got THROUGH the wall somehow doesn't prove that walls don't work, it proves George was smart to have one because there were OTHERS who'd have broken in earlier, if he were wall-less.

I trust you see where I'm going with this.  Donald Trump is NOT an ex-Beatle and the man has MANY faults, but it's unfair and lazy-minded to label him a "Racist" because he wants to protect America with a WALL.  He's a REALIST.  The danger of terrorists just sneaking across our wall-less border is REAL, and a wall won't stop EVERYONE, but it will help the problem.  

I say build the wall, and let the workers listen to George Harrison's album "WONDERWALL" on giant speakers as they build it.
