Today is the 170th day of this year.
It is an anniversary of many events in my life and in the lives of many others — as you will see — if you take the Time to read all of this writing. It will be a blessing to you to carefully consider all that is told here — and allow your heart to be touched by True God’s Living Words.
Woonsocket’s Unnamed River
In
Northern Rhode Island
Where
There is a Galilee and a Jerusalem
At
Point Judith Pond Breachway – in Southern Rhode Island
I Don’t Know What to Call It – This River
I don’t know its name.
Don’t know if it has a name.
A map I have of Woonsocket shows this river – but no name is given.
It begins at the south end of Harris Pond – which Pond is mostly in Blackstone, Massachusetts — and the unnamed river ends in Woonsocket – just beyond the backyard of where I live — it empties into the Blackstone River behind John F. Kennedy Manor. With my dad’s binoculars I can just see a little of this river as it flows under a bridge on East School Street. This unnamed river flows overland by Social Park [World War 2 Memorial State Park] in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
There used to be a pond in Social Park – as it was called in the 1960s when I was a boy. And a lifeguard saved me from drowning in that pond when I was about 10 years old. It must have occurred about 1961 – not certain of my exact age or the year. My older sister Lesley saw me bobbing up and down in the water – from where she was sitting on a beach blanket [she told me, later] and she let out a scream – like only girls can do. And the lifeguard perched on his highchair looked right at her. And she pointed to me out there in the pond. And the lifeguard ran across the sandy beach and into the water; and swam out to me bobbing up and down in water over my head by several inches – gulping a breath of air each time I came up — and hauled me in. A few moments later I was sitting on that beach blanket; and another man in dress clothes came over; and he asked me if I had swallowed any water; and I said, “No.” And he went away and that was the end of it. This really happened. It is not a dream, nor an imagination. And the way it happened was like this: I was in the water and walking toward the shore – and I felt a hard shove – as if someone who I didn’t see gave me a very powerful push – and rather than confronting him – I just started swimming out toward deep water that was over my head – and after a short while I was not willing to swim anymore – so I stopped and began bobbing up and down – vertical in the water — to get a gulp of air and then descend again until my feet touched bottom – and then push up again to get another breath of air. I did this about three times before the lifeguard arrived and rescued me. I have no memory of the lifeguard pulling me in. I only remember being on the beach blanket and the man in dress clothes walking over to me and asking if I had swallowed any water.
Another thing about Social Pond and where we were located that day – Lesley and me: we were on the East School Street side of the pond. And once, when I was much older, I was walking in the Social District of Woonsocket and came across my Aunt Estelle. And we stopped to talk. We were in the huge parking lot on Clinton Street. She may have been at the Woonsocket Harris Public Library just before we met that day. And she told me she missed her mother – who had passed away years before. We hugged in the parking lot. And she told me that her parents had met while working at The American Paper Tube – a factory where they both worked many years ago in the early 1900s. She told me it was on East School Street – in the building that was later called Tinsel Town – where a huge figure of a Santa Claus had been on the roof for many years. Well, that factory was located very near where I almost drowned that day in about 1961 when I was about 10 years old. And my dad told me that his mother and Aunt Estelle’s mother had a brother who drowned at Sylvester’s Pond when he was a boy. Sylvester’s Pond was near a roller-skating rink in Woonsocket off Cumberland Hill Road – Joyland was its name. I caught the very first fish I ever caught while fishing there as a boy with my dad and Lesley and maybe Dale, our younger brother. It was a little perch that I caught – about 5 inches long. I just put him back in the water after unhooking him. And we were fishing near a dirt road that went by Sylvester’s Pond – from Cumberland Hill Road – near the incinerator building – to Cass Avenue. And whenever I saw The Andy Griffith Show – at the beginning of the show – Andy Taylor, the sheriff of Mayberry – was walking with his son, Opie, along a dirt road with fishing poles on their shoulders – and Opie would pick up a stone to throw in the pond – or lake — where they had been fishing. That scene always reminded me of Sylvester’s Pond in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.

I suppose that the waters of Social Pond come from Harris Pond in Blackstone, Massachusetts — by way of Woonsocket’s Unnamed River – perhaps to someday be named . . .
Woonsocket’s Faithful River – or —
The White Stone River of Woonsocket
The Mysterious River
The River of No Name
True God’s Spiritual River ?
“And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
That I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
And your sons and your daughters shall prophecy,
And your young men shall see visions,
And your old men shall dream dreams;
Even on my male servants and female servants
In those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophecy.
And I will show wonders in the heavens above
And signs on the earth below,
Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
The sun shall be turned to darkness
And the moon to blood,
Before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved.” Acts 2:17-21 ESV Study Bible.

Maybe [I don’t know] in the new heavens and the new earth that True God will bring to be – Blackstone, Massachusetts will be known as White Stone, Massachusetts. And, maybe, the as-yet no-name river in Woonsocket that flows from Harris Pond in Blackstone, Massachusetts into Woonsocket, Rhode Island and into the Blackstone River – will become known as The White Stone River. And maybe the Woonsocket White Stone River will be a blessed river that miraculously makes the Blackstone River so pure and blessed that its name is changed to The White Stone River – and, maybe, all its stones will become as white as snow. And, maybe, Snow White will appear in Woonsocket with her seven blessed dwarfs –
Will such things actually come into play ? Will this become real ? The writer doesn’t know. Is he merely “dreaming” while awake and while he writes ? God only knows.

A vote for a politician is a vote for Politics
Politics is of the world and “the whole world lies in wickedness.”
Politics is secular.
Politics is spiritually blind to True God
That’s why Politics legalizes things that ought not be done.
Abortions, lotteries, gambling, the corporate state acquiring massive worldly wealth while the treasuries of God-instituted governments are being plundered into massive debt; and Politics seeks to shrink governments while massively empowering the corporate state of Babylon the great harlot.
The fruits of Politics are pollution and chaos and violence and wars and sickness and death.
And The Corporate State of Babylon the Great harlot is under the influence of “the god of this world.”
“And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” -2 Corinthians 4:3-7 ESV Study Bible.

Politics brings about a very harsh reality – of a very few hoarding the wealth of the world — and leaving the many people — poor and homeless and migrants. Politics is the servant of the devil. The devil is the destroyer. Only True God can and will defeat the devil and bring an end to the world system and its corrupt corporate state.

Woonsocket, Rhode Island has a faithful river that’s been flowing for longer than Woonsocket has been alive –
And yet, this faithful river has no name . . .
It just keeps on keeping on — without being recognized – without even a name.

It is an unfortunate testimony to the world that it shows no respect for the things of True God.
Most people don’t recognize True God, either.
For example – look what the world did to many millions of True God’s faithful children during The Dark Ages of the wicked and worldly Roman Catholic Church –

Jane/Janet and Felicia and Alie on Facebook Messenger and Google Chat and Google Gmail.
$3435 sent to Janet between April 6, 2023 and May 15th, 2023 through Cash App. Have not made another donation online since May 15th, 2023 — that is approximately 34 days in a row without giving away – in the name of the Lord Jesus — any more of my savings. My heart is no longer feeling generous toward people online whom I have never met – and don’t really know who they are – and understand they may be scammers and fraudsters and liars and hypocrites who are being pretentious about everything they write – and about the pictures of themselves – and about where they supposedly live – and about their age – and every alleged fact they write about themselves. And maybe they are chatbots, too – with no humanity at all – just fake profiles using fake names and photographs and videos they purchase online.
Jane/Janet was telling me she was out of work – fired from Amazon. Then she said she got evicted from her apartment in Houston, Texas. She says she’s from Little Rock, Arkansas. She didn’t have the money to pay her rent. Then she was living in an unused bus in someone’s back yard. Then she wanted to come and visit me. Then she asked if she could use the $1100 sent to her by Cash App for a new apartment instead of visiting me. I agreed. Then she needed more money to buy furniture. Then it was her birthday on May 13th. Then her bed frame wasn’t right. Then she supposedly needed pain medication for her menstruation that would cost $217. By that time, I had stopped sending money to her. Earlier, she wanted money to buy an oven for her cake-baking business. Sent her about 8 $helps$ totaling $3435 from April 6 to May 15, 2023. Sometimes it seems that Jane/Janet and Felicia are just two different names and different pictures for the same one. Sometimes their writing sounds like nonsense. And I wonder if they’re trying to “gaslight” me – in their frustration that I’m no longer sending any $helps$ to them at all. Jane/Janet sent to me several very exciting pictures and videos of “herself.” And we sexted. And it was very pleasurable, I confess. Sometimes I wonder if they are only chatbots with no humanity – just AI “entities.” Just as corporations are, by definition, “artificial persons”– just as the corporate state of Babylon the great harlot that impinges upon worldly rulers and worldly governments and gets them to do ungodly things – like helping those corporations become so monstrously big and powerful and wealthy – while the political ones seek to shrink governments-instituted-by-God; and also allow the treasuries of those governments to descend into EXTREME debt – as, for example, the USA’S national treasury is more than 31 trillion dollars in debt [a treasury in debt by 31 – plus trillion dollars is no treasure at all! – except to those who invest in the Bond Market – and make a huge profit off the Nation’s obscene National Debt] – while many corporations have a tremendous surplus of billions of dollars – even during these very harsh economic times the world is in now. So, it sure seems that Politics is serving NOT the governments instituted by True God for We The People – but, rather they are serving the corrupt corporate state of Babylon the Great harlot — that Holy Scripture reveals to believers in True God – not the unbelievers who are deceived and under the influence of “the god of this world” – the devil, Satan – the “father of lies and a murderer from the beginning” -John 8:39-59 ESV Study Bible.

And if you think I’m being deceived by online “friends” — what about those who are being deceived by Politics – and by worldly religions – and worldly healthcare – and worldly health insurance corporations – that are willing to kill/abort unborn living human babies – if you have the health insurance to pay them to do it? And they aren’t even merciful enough to anesthetize that living unborn defenseless human being before cutting him/her to pieces alive! Is this not wickedness? Is this not abomination! — as wicked and evil and cruel as anything terrorists do? And have they destroyed multi-millions more human lives in this way than all the murders of all the terrorists on earth? And in their duplicity and double-mindedness and hypocrisy they call this a human right—the “right” to have their own unborn children professionally and “legally” killed by a so-called healthcare system that is all part of the wicked world system of the corporate state of Babylon the great harlot who is under the influence of “the god of this world” – the devil?
“Wisdom rests in the heart of a man of understanding,
But it makes itself known even in the midst of fools.

But sin is a reproach to any people.” -Proverbs 14:33, 34. ESV Study Bible.
“The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
“The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of his heart to all generations.

And this unnamed river from Blackstone, Massachusetts into Woonsocket, Rhode Island flows behind Precious Blood Cemetery in Woonsocket. And it also flows behind Oak Hill Cemetery in Woonsocket — where this writer found a tombstone many years ago of much interest to him. On the impressive-sized tombstone were the names of several people, including a woman whose last name is Livingstone – and her birthdate is the same as Eileen [written about in other blog posts by this writer] — October 9. And it is also the same birthdate as someone else this writer was in correspondence with for about two years in the early 1980s. And that young woman graduated from Bellingham High School in Massachusetts – which is a town immediately next to Blackstone, Massachusetts. And she was exactly 10 years younger than Eileen. And she was valedictorian of her class. Sandra. And remarkable to this writer – on the opposite side of this tombstone in Oak Hill Cemetery in Woonsocket – is the name of a man whose birthday is the same as this writer – November 14. Jenny B. Livingstone and James Pickford. I don’t know but only wonder if Jenny B. and James Pickford are sister and brother.
When my mother was getting a degree at the Community College of Rhode island, she told me she was taking a literature course. And somehow, they were discussing the movie, “Forrest Gump.” And my mother told me she said in class: “My son is just like Forrest Gump!” And in fact I did run on the Woonsocket High School Cross Country team. Richard Forget and I were co-captains of the team our senior year. And I was on the track team, too – running the 2 mile.
Many years ago – while living at Sadwin Apartments – I had a girlfriend whose name was Jennifer. She used the nickname Jen. And recently, I’ve had an online girlfriend named Jane/Janet. And Forrest Gump had a girlfriend who became his wife. He called her Jenny.

And I’ve had some imaginings about Oak Hill Cemetery in which the resurrection occurs. And many famous people appear right there in the cemetery immediately after the resurrection. Jenny B. and James Pickford, Yogi Berra, Moses and Elijah and the Son of God – Jesus Christ. And Jesus puts His right and left hands on that tombstone and gives it an effortless upward toss – and the tombstone immediately goes upward into the sky and disappears into the heavens – like a rocket! And suddenly in the cemetery are very many people standing about and wondering in amazem_went – John Wayne, The Beetles, John Denver and Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand and Frank and Joe Hardy and their best friend, Chet Morton and Chet’s sister Iola and Frank’s girlfriend, Callie Shaw; and John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy; and Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin; and Paul Revere and the Minute Men; and George Washington; and Martin Luther and Martin Luther King Jr. and Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy who wrote “The Return of the Native.” And William Shakespeare and William Wordsworth Longfellow; and Helen Reddy and Emily Dickenson and Ralph Waldo Emerson and his friend Henry David Thoreau. And Gomer Pyle will be there – looking around and seeing all these people – and he’ll be saying, “Shazam! And then he sees Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry and his deputy Barney Fife and Opie and Otis and Floyd the barber, and Aunt Bee. And Andy’s wife, too. And Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock and Doctor McCoy; and all the family of The Real McCoy’s. And the folks of All in the Family. And Mary Tyler Moore and Mr. Grant and all their coworkers at the Minneapolis news station; and Dick Van Dyke; and Julie Andrews; Mary Poppins; Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day. And Audrey Hepburn – and very many others who were not famous during their lifetimes — but God knows them and remembers them – and raises them all from the dead – because they truly believe in His Son; and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ and wait patiently for His reappearing – for as long as it takes – enduring unto the end – just as His apostles and disciples do – loving not the world – nor the things of this world – that are all destined to pass away – just as The Titanic did and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001.

“I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.
“O death, where is your victory?
“O death, where is your sting?
“The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” -1 Corinthians 15:50-58 ESV Study Bible.

“Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.” -Revelation 2:16, 17. ESV Study Bible.
“As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
A cornerstone chosen and precious,
And whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
“So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected
Has become the cornerstone,”
And
“A stone of stumbling,
And a rock of offense.”
“They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.” -1 Peter 2:4-8 ESV Study Bible.

And when the Blackstone River becomes the White Stone River — and Blackstone, Massachusetts becomes White Stone, Massachusetts — then it may be that the new heavens and the new earth have arrived, and all things will be new. And we who have believed not in the world that lies in wickedness, nor in its worldly religions and worldly philosophies and politics and the economic ways of its secular-thinking mere mortal men in their states of unbelief; and in their trusting themselves and the “god of this world.” We who have believed in True God and His Living Word and His Holy Scriptures and His Gospel of Jesus Christ will also be living in our newly-regenerated glorious bodies like that of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ our Redeemer and Lord and King — in His Kingdom of God and His Heavenly Jerusalem – the city of God — which will be high and lifted up above Jerusalem that is on earth. And all the nations on earth will be subject to Him and His Kingdom, the home of righteousness. There will be no more politics corrupting governments; no more Babylon the great harlot; no more “god of this world” deceiving the nations of unbelievers — who will not be a part of the regeneration of all things in glory and eternal life — that is only for those who receive the love of the truth and are saved by Jesus Christ and have His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth and understanding in their hearts – where He is Sovereign over them and over all things in His Creation.

It’s Thomas’s birthday. Went to his birthday party the evening of the last day of first grade at St. Charles School in 1959. Sister Mary Carlene was our teacher. She taught me/US how to spell and read and write. We never had a bad day in school with Sister Mary Carlene, RSM. And there were more than 60 students in our class. And the school was on Daniels Street in Woonsocket. And Lorraine Dubois was one of my classmates. And Lee Lareau sat beside me. And he lived on Glen Road. And in 4th grade in 1961, Eileen became a student in our class in September. And she lived on Glen Road. And Glen Road is a very beautiful road in Woonsocket’s North End. And on George’s Beach in Galilee, Rhode Island in 1974 – when I was 22 and Eileen was 21 – at Point Judith Pond Breachway – with Jerusalem, Rhode Island on the other side of the breachway – Eileen kissed me as we stood on that sandy beach – and she breathed her beautiful young woman’s breath into my mouth and into my lungs; and then she told me to kiss her and breath into her as she had breathed into me. And so, we kissed again. And I breathed into Eileen. And I’ll never forget Her – nor that experience with Her. I didn’t understand what happened that day when we kissed and breathed into each other on George’s Beach [it might be called Salty Brine’s Beach, now]. Its significance and meaning may have been like the planting of a seed by a Sower who just goes his way afterwards. And the seed in the ground just stays there for, maybe a long while, and then, suddenly something begins to happen to that seed buried in the earth in stillness and quietness. It begins to break open. Then it puts out a very tiny sprout. And just barely begins to appear above ground . . . and day by day it grows.

I walked to Oak Hill Cemetery this morning. Left my apartment at 8:30 AM. It was the first time in many years since I visited this Cemetery. I found the tombstone where Jennie B. Livingstone and her brother and mother and father and her daughter are buried. Learned something interesting: Jennie B. Livingstone died on June 19th, 1922. June 19th is my parents wedding anniversary in 1948. And June 19th as already mentioned – and not to brag about it, either – is the day in 1974 when I first slept with a woman – a very beautiful young woman – we didn’t go all the way – but we did really sleep together all night. In the morning, she told me that she awakened during the night and found me sleeping at her feet – or at the foot of the bed – and she got me back in place – I had no memory of that at all – I imagined that she was imagining things – or maybe it was just a fantasy of hers – maybe she wanted me at her feet. And June 19th is now a national holiday called Juneteenth – also known as Freedom Day. Jennie B. Livingstone’s mother also has the name Jennie B. And Jennie B. Livingstone’s father’s name is Job Pickford. Job is the name of a man in the Bible who suffered a great many things in his lifetime. Jennie B. Livingstone’s brother’s name is James A. Picford. And her daughter’s name is Florence I Livingstone. And Jennie B. Livingstone’s husband’s name is Thomas Livingstone. I hope I get to meet this family at the Resurrection. I hope Jennie B. Livingstone is very beautiful.

“Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, ‘Do you not know what these are?’ I said, ‘No, my lord.’ Then he said to me, ‘This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts. Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”

“The nations raged,
But your wrath came,
And the time for the dead to be judged,
And for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
And those who fear your name,
Both small and great,
And for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
