Why I Prefer the Title, Jingo.

Why I Prefer the Title of Jingo

I am a Christian, but not by this world's description. 
My memory fails me now but according to this blog (which I have learned is my blog), I began to search my heart in 2006. 

The title, "Christian," was given to many that I did not share the same beliefs or used the title with no evidence of being an actual follower of Christ.  I was pointing fingers at others, and apparently, judging.

My thought pattern led me to me.  Please see my writing of 2006:

What is a 'Jingo?'

In January, 2006, I had been searching for the meaning of 'coward.' Why 'coward'? I had gone looking for who I am. In my readings in the Bible --- I decided to look up traitor and coward.  Sorry, but, I admit it - that is what I am many times. So, I just as well confront myself with exactly who I am. I looked up these words in the dictionary and thesaurus - not the Bible.

In looking, I found the word bellicose and then found jingo (definitions below) --- and it hit me that that is what I will be. Not a Christian as the world defines --- the world has taken that word and watered it down to be a really nice person that never makes waves.

I will be a follower of Christ - a jingo.

My next book is going to be called: 
"I am a Jingo." Or, "Want to be a Jingo with me?"

Am I nuts? I don't think so."

Jingo: an extreme bellicose nationalist (chauvinist, jingoist, hundred-percenter, patrioteer). One who vociferously supports one's country, especially one who supports a belligerent foreign policy; a chauvinistic patriot.
Bellicose: warlike in manner; pugnacous.
Pugnacious means combative in nature or belligerent
Belligerent: inclined to fight; hostile or aggresive. Of or pertaining to or engaged in warfare.

Now, belligerent is always associated with the negative, right? Well, I am not so sure. 
Twisted thinking.  Once again, the world tells us being belligerent is wrong. 

Sounds ok to me. So, a jingo, I am. A jingo on a mission.   End of 2006 Post

Expectations of "Privileged Whites" by BLM Louisville CoFounder

"Expectations of 'Privileged Whites' "     
Unbelievable? No.      Twisted? Indeed!

Since losing most of my memory from my car accident in 2015, I have learned that this world is beyond twistedrequiring . . . . . . . .  Twisted Thinking.

 BLM Quote below:
Black Lives Matter-Louisville Cofounder Lists her Top Ten Expectations for "Privileged Whites."  .. by Black Lives Matter Louisville cofounder Chanelle Helm ~ "Helm insists whites give up their land, house . . . 

Warning: Explicit language. I have not been able to edit / eliminate full spelling of certain words. 

          1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown
           family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.
2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way. 
3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free. 
4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty. 
5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists assholes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty. 
6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing. 
7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the fuck they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too. 
8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ dick-white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious. 
9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them  
10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.

What we wear

The Bible says to put on the garment of praise. Praise is more than just an act... It is a garment, something to wear. True praise will break strongholds over your life. But you must wear it despite what circumstance you are in.

Paul and Silas were imprisoned for preaching the gospel but in that circumstance, they knew that praise was the answer to their problem. Will you still have that song of praise during a midnight hour even though you may be imprisoned by a circumstance of this world? Paul and Silas did, and because of it, they were freed. Jingos indeed! YOUR praise will free you also!

BUT! Not only did it free Paul and Silas, the scripture tells us that others heard them. And, because Paul and Silas had prayed and received. . . everyone's bands were loosed. (See verses in Acts 16 below)

My praise frees those around me who are not praising? How can it be? In Acts, it states that the prisoners were listening, not participating. I don't know for sure - to our world that is twisted thinking because there may not be a scientific, worldy answer. But, because I believe in our most powerful God, it makes sense to me.

So, a twisted thinker, is who I am. I am: A jingo on a mission...


In Acts 16: (taken from a great site for your favorites: Biblegateway.com - New King James Version)
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. 28 But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.” 29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized. 34 Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.

Just say no to astrology signs and zodiac years

Is there a way to have these indicators removed from the default settings?
If not - fine - quite a waste of space for meaningless words. FOUND OUT HOW! READ THE COMMENT!

I am a Jingo

After much prayer and thought, I have determined that I am a jingo. I will expound later concerning where this came from, when, and why.
