Ask your pastor why Matthew and Revelation 13:9 Are almost the exact same verses. The pastor will answer that it is just coincidence. Then say, please read Revelation 13:10. Then say, now read Matthew 13:10-12.
Isn't this fun?
Drink voraciously
What does voracious mean anyway? Still it sends a certain message it probably means something like drink excessively or drink with wild abandon or drink like there's no tomorrow.
All these companies that sell alcohol have a little fine print statement that says please drink responsibly. Where's the fun in that? Even Jesus was called a wine-bibber by his enemies oh and a glutton. But there has never been one painting of Jesus ever done where he was fat obese or even the tiniest bit overweight. Sometimes it's just really hard to find real evidence for accusations brought against somebody. Anyway this is way off the subject. Drink voraciously. Drink with wild abandon you'll die young and miserable so maybe you should rethink that just a little bit. In the meantime it would be good to look up what the true definition of voracious is.

Black Friday fizzle
There were some reports that Black Friday simply wasn't the mad crush that it has been in previous years. This is good news. Americans were embarrassing themselves to some degree. I mean they put a TV on sale for a hundred bucks for Black Friday and then a year later a hundred bucks is the normal price for the same TV. And on top of that there's TVs that are twice as big and twice as sharp for $150 bucks just a few months later. So is it really worth getting trampled to death just for $100 TV?
Las Vegas high
Yes, I graduated from Las Vegas high School. It felt special. It felt like weird spiritual forces had brought me to a very special place at a very special time. if we tiptoe through a timeline of that period Of my life you'll see how truly phenomenal it was. Also somehow my parents were handpicked for me just for this particular time and of course for raising me in general. They were the perfect parents for the perfect time to be raising me and watching me graduate at Las Vegas high School. The winters were mild Windy and Sandy, the Summers were brutally hot. Why don't other kids get the perfect parents? Why don't other kids end up at the perfect place at the perfect time? What forces brought that group of us together to graduate two blocks from the Las Vegas strip and two blocks from Charleston boulevard which ends in downtown Las Vegas. Back then Las Vegas high school was two blocks from the Las Vegas strip and two blocks from downtown Las Vegas. At lunch break we could actually run over and sneak through the slot machine areas looking for nickels dimes and quarters. Of course technology has ruined all of that.
Avacados
I love avacados but they are such a hassle and so expensive. They're either not ripe or ripe and bruised. Very irritating.
More constipation
Update on progress.
Things I'm doing just for this problem:
Cod liver oil daily
Fiber supplements every meal
One or more spoons of olive oil.
Standing, without much walking, 30-60 minutes a day. Sometimes in the middle of the night.
Sit up straight at work. Sit at desk all day. Keep fiddling with chair.
Eating raw veggies. Celery carrots broccoli mild peppers cauly flower. No dip or salad dressing.
Olive oil on salads.
Four prunes twice daily
Small handful of raisins twice daily.
The problem really only goes away when eating only fruits and veggies.
Doing all this to go daily.
I'm a Christian. In this case prayer has had no effect at all. In fact it may have made it worse.
Also, I don't own a TV. Reading, doing puzzles and playing on the phone Take my free time. At best TV is mindless drivel. It's actually quite damaging.

Yet another note on alcohol and constipation
Well, the whole alcohol thing works for desperate measure, but... See previous post. It turns out that alcohol makes the problem continue in the following days. In other words it caused me more constipation. Currently I'm taking a fiber supplement at all meals, a tablespoon of olive oil with all food, and a full dose of cod liver oil once a day. If things back up two days then it calls for a full dose of mineral oil at bedtime. Follow the directions on all these. Take a full dose but no more. I've never had a doctor advise this, but supposedly there are prescription stool softeners. Do not take any prescriptions without your doctor.
Saving a pillar candle
how many times have you bought a pillar candle with Great Expectations. Only to have those expectations dashed upon the rocks of disappointment as you throw a 15 to $40 candle into the trash. Why, because the wick burns down too quickly into a tiny little hole and then basically puts itself out in the wax. well let's reignite that flame of hope.
Get the following items from Dollar Tree. It's a cheap chain of stores in America. A box of stick matches, a ball of cotton string, and a regular wax candle. Pictures below. This is a little more expensive but get a 13/64" drill bit and either vice grips or a manual or electric drill. Wax is soft so it's easy to drill by hand.
This whole box of drill bits was $10. A Christmas special.
Now the vice grips. Going hi-tech on this.
Lay out the match and string side-by-side. It is a good idea to glue them together with white school glue, but not required.
Drill a hole beside the wick in the candle. Hook one end of the string over the end of the match opposite the head and push that end into the hole. Leave the head of the match about 1/4"above the wax. The string should be about 1 inch out of the hole also.
Light the regular candle you bought and drip wax onto the head of the match and saturate the string. Keep dripping until there is a small pool of wax around the match and string. The match and string will burn together. First let the wax cool. Now light the new wick. The match will flare up when it ignites, but will continue burning with the string. Repeat this process when the new wick completely burns down. Once you do it, it is pretty easy. On a typical pillar candle you will insert a match twice.
If you look closely at this picture you can see the string and match both burning. Notice the flame is a little bigger than normal, but I like that.

Note to constipated alcohol drinkers
The previous post is a temporary crutch. It is not a solution. Don't cook your liver. Lean more and more on Jesus. Amen.
For constipated alcohol drinkers
If you don't drink alcohol regularly and are not constipated, skip this. For the rest of you, first become a Christian. Then, when you haven't gone in a couple of days wait till you are at home and hungry. You won't be going out after this. Pour about three ounces of wine and one ounce of vodka in a glass. Remain standing throughout this process. Fix a simple meal mostly liquid, like tomato soup. Remain standing. Pray continually that Jesus will help you take a soft poop. You can pray Father son and holy Spirit if you want. Not sure if this works for everyone else. Now drink the wine and vodka fairly quickly. Maybe in two or three separate gulps. Fix another one and eat most of the soup with a few crackers. Then drink the second drink. Keep standing and walking around your dismal apartment. Keep praying help me Jesus. Then see if you start to get the urge for a poop. Fix one more drink. Sip some and get on the pot. See if you can go. Be patient. Don't rush things. Don't hurt yourself.
You might also add two table spoons of olive oil and one teaspoon of cod liver oil. Get the good stuff. Not cheap.
This isn't a good long term solution, but is a steppingstone to a better way not needing the alcohol.
In Jesus name we pray.

Fixing pillar candles
So most of the pillar candles that I get won't burnworth squat. They burn initially for about 15 minutes and then the flame just goes down to a tiny little spot that you can barely see. The candle will claim that it burns for 80 hours but who wants a flame you can't even see? So here's one idea that seems to work pretty well. (Theres a siren screaming by outside let's hold on a second. Okay that's better. You know the city there's always some disaster going on you always say a little prayer thank you Jesus that it's not me. Of course every once in awhile it is you. Then you say thank you Jesus that I'm still alive. To be honest if you're not really thankful to be alive then say something else.) Let's see where were we? So what seems to work pretty well is to blow the candle out and let it solidify. Then get a match. A regular wooden match. Then glue a piece of cotton string down one edge. Just regular old grade school white glue. Leave about an inch on both ends of extra string. Then drill a hole down beside the existing WICk the of length the match. After the match and the glue dry then put the match into the hole leaving the match head up. Then light a candelabra candle and drip wax onto the string and onto the match. The wax amazingly will flow down the match and fill up the hole. Make sure the hole is slightly bigger than the match. Don't try to cram the match and the string down a tight hole. Let this dry. Oh yeah make sure to soak all of the string in wax. Then light the candle. In the three experiments so far the candle burns with a very nice flame down to the end of the match. Then you can either throw the candle away or repeat the process to continue burning the pillar candle.
The "other" car
So today the other car went out for a clandestine journey into a parallel universe. In the city of Denver there are hundreds of thousands of vehicles jostling to scurry from here to there. They travel fast and slow. They occasionally collide. And sometimes people die. But about 30 miles from Denver is another place. You wouldn't recognize it because you must put on the cloak of invisibility to get there. It is a place almost devoid of other vehicles. The roads are narrow and people are polite. Now in the city they are amazingly civil given the inhuman driving situation. We all try to act like coordinating computers, but that is not our strong suit. After all we're only human. Get it. Wow this is going way better than expected.
The other car

Electric cars
Ok what is wrong with this picture? Imagine the electric car you play with when you're a kid. It goes forward backwards and turns. It goes and stops. It costs $20. Now imagine the electric car you drive to work. It has one million screws and spot welds. It has gps. It is connected to the internet. It communicates with the mother ship. It costs over $40,000.
This is nuts.
This is nuts.
The car industry in America
The car business is such a racket. Do not trade in a car. You are way better off giving it to a friend or relative.
Duckin a
This has been a long year and we're not out yet. Let's see, my mom died. My ex wife died ššš¢. Hey these little things are kind of fun. My daughter remarried the devil, only a really dumb version. Sort of the idiot savant of š stuff. Any way. It was my first and last trip to the top of pikes peak. A word to the wise, don't go. I moved and will probably move again. So it's been an adventure. Jesus says I can't come home to heaven yet. Well ok then. Planned on fishing but only got the license. Oh and to top it off I bought a Cadillac. Still figuring out the š picker. I should charge for rides. Been attacked three times by homosexual demons, oddly enough the holy Spirit ran them off.
2008 Cadillac door lock II
So after ranting about the incredibly complex door mechanism, here is another solution. The driver door comes with an emergency manual key. Of course it is a dealer item and has a custom clasp to attach to the key fob. It would be easy to use the key if it worked on a regular key ring. So Lowe's giant hardware was able to put the key in their key machine and it said to use a #28 key blank, which they don't carry. With this information it was time for a trip to Ace hardware. They put the key in their key machine and it said "no information on key". So the key person dug through their blanks and found #28 ! They tried it And the machine cut the key. The key works ! $4, rather than $1000. So half the time it requires the key, sometimes it opens automatically when the door handle is pulled. Cadillac is fantastic!
2008 Cadillac driver door won't unlock
The drivers door will not unlock. Only the passenger door and back doors will unlock.
Hey, who needs to enter the drivers door anyway? Soon driverless cars will not require a driver! But until that day.
So there is a "micro-switch"that needs to be replaced. But who needs Cadillac anyway? Forget the micro-switch and go with the $1 back scratcher.
My 08 Caddy is 11 years old. So here is a very low tech solution to an incredibly bad design. I mean the Chinese could have done better. The Cadillac mission statement on this door lock read, "come up with an ingenious design that is doomed to fail! "
So. Go buy this back scratcher for $1, pictured below. Put the back scratcher in the back seat behind the driver, or on your key chain if that is more convenient.
To unlock the driver door press unlock on the key fob. Now open the back door. Remember the front door won't open. If you are a gymnast climb into the front seat. For everyone else, use the back scratcher to reach the front door handle from inside and open the driver door. Close the back door. Swing the front door open and enter as usual.

The new blogger
Now there is a button on blogger encouraging the hapless blogger too try the new blogger. Well as we've all said so many times before, what's wrong with the old one? Nothing. The new one will require more brain cells. There is probably something good about engaging more brain cells to do the same thing, just to keep us from turning into blogging vegetables. Still I want to bore you with my thoughts. That does not require a new interface.
At some point Google will discontinue the current blogger and force us to use the new social communistic blogger. Unfortunately this does not mean the Antichrist is coming soon. The end could easily be thousands of years away. Google or no Google.

My apartment
Let's be honest. It's a miracle they haven't torn these down. Well in a very bizarre series of events my apartment fire alarm went off. It's very loud and irritating. Thankfully Jesus had them add a tiny little button to reset the alarm. Did I say even one time thank you Jesus? Actually I don't remember but probably not. Thank you thank you thank you.
So tonight of all nights was š night. And it was also the night to spray paint a piece of cardboard with paint. This caused the š„alarm too go off. So let this be a lesson. Pizza and spray paint do not mix.

Jehovah's witnesses
It isn't clear why we are posting this about cult worshippers headed for eternal damnation. Is it better to be on the wrong path or no path?
What's the point
Part of the problem is we have very little time. The clock is ticking. Soon this wave will be dead. On to the next batch. If time didn't exist we could have all algorithms too group peoples online content and then read the core concepts without concern for how long it took. Just look for original thought and creativity. After all 99.9% of everything humans think is just identified by age and activity. There are almost no Beethoven's or Tchaikovsky's. Just the rest of us. Billions of pointless carbon bases units thinking of salvation, but living a lie.
After all the path to eternal life is extremely difficult to find. Almost none find it. The way too destruction is easy to find. In fact almost everyone you meet is rushing into the abyss. Maybe one in a million is on the right path. You could easily spend your whole life and not meet any one on the path to eternal life.
Nothing
This post is about nothing. There will be no points made. There will be nothing discussed. No pros or cons will be asserted. It will not convinced you of anything. It has nothing to do with anything.
Dear God
As you are well aware I quite often say thank you that you don't talk to me directly in that scary super loud voice. You never talk to me directly at all, but if you decide that it is necessary I have a special request. Please talk to me like you did Baalim, through his donkey. Or like in Shrek. I don't own a donkey, but you could have a donkey talk to me in a dream. I don't ask for much. Please grant me this and only if you absolutely must. Otherwise just give me a big loving hug when I make the jump to light speed. Oh and while you're in this great mood, could I skip the millennium and go straight into the eternal paradise?

The Middle East
It isn't clear to me why anyone lives in the Middle East. It seems like a miserable place. I mean it seems like more people are getting killed there than are getting killed in Chicago that's got to be a lot of people. I think we would all move to Tokyo which is incredibly overcrowded there's only 4 murders per year. I'm sure they're all crimes of passion. And doesn't everyone in Japan own a samurai sword? Anyway this is supposed to be about the middle-east not tokyo. Why does God think it's special? It's hot it's mostly desert people are getting killed there all the time and constantly waging Wars against each other it's disgusting.
Billionaires
Listen, to all of you out there who ever buy a lottery ticket and are not a billionaire. It would be interesting to know if a billionaire ever bought a lottery ticket. Anyway if you're not a billionaire and you buy lottery tickets here's some really good advice. Now I'm not a billionaire and I've never won the lottery. That puts me in an ideal place to give you the very best advice you could possibly get somebody who has no idea what they're talking about. You need to practice this phrase and I'm about to say over and over and over again. In some states you can win the lottery secretly. So that nobody knows you won. But there is a problem with this, somebody could bump you off or steal all your money and nobody would even know. So if you're going to win the lottery you need somebody to know that you won. the problem is those somebody's are usually people that then want some of the money. as any billionaire can tell you you don't go around giving away money unless it's for some political reason or some business reason. No and I'm not talking about Uncle Fred who wants to start the next great website business or Aunt Julian who wants to buy a fleet of mobile laundry trucks. because all your relatives and friends are going to come out of the woodwork and want some of your money. But Jesus didn't let them win the lottery Diddy? He let you win the lottery you were chosen from all the billions of people on the planet with a special ability to win that money. It's your money and nobody else deserves it. Now if they're truly in a desperate situation the Bible says to lend to them who asked for you to lend. But that means they're going to pay you back. And as we all know with friends and relatives that's probably never going to happen you're sort of just giving them the loan hahaha. so here's what you say over and over and over again. When they come asking for money you need to say well Jesus let me buy a winning lottery ticket I recommend you buy some lottery tickets. now if these relatives are the kinds of relatives who have worked really hard their whole lives and they really have some legitimate need, where things just got away from them or you want to do something really nice for them and just send them on that World vacation they've never been able to have then go ahead and do it. I mean after all it is your money. but to everyone else what you're basically saying is get lost in a nice way. I guess you could do the thing where you win secretly and then you just very quietly move away some place. once you're in this new place you slightly upgrade your lifestyle. you know instead of driving the 20 year old car with 150000 miles on it you buy a five-year-old caddy with 400 horsepower. You know it's an upgrade but it's not outrageous opulence. Tell people those stocks finally made alittle something. Never ever say the word "money". That triggers a automatic response in broke people brains. They start imagining that you die in some tragic accident and leave them all the "money". Then they start planning the "accident".
Laudry day
yes. This is laundry day that dreaded day of the week. Some weeks are sheets day. This is one of those days. All the sheets have to come off the bed all the pillow cases along with all my dirty clothes. It's one of those epic events. Now used to be occasionally I would wash pillows. Or rather my wife would. But anymore I just buy really cheap pillows and about every six months I throw a couple of them away. In fact it's starting to seem like maybe a good idea to just buy some really cheap furniture from American Furniture Warehouse and then when it's time to move just throw it away. you can get a table and chairs and a couch which is really about all that's necessary for less than a thousand bucks. It's a very strange time in my life. Half the time a thousand bucks doesn't even seem worth worrying about the other half the time a thousand bucks seems like it's super critical. I mean just think of all the food you could buy with a thousand bucks and I'm talkin about buying something and then just throw it in the trash on purpose. It's not really clear to me what direction things are going to go at this point. Will I end up comfortable and well taken care of for the next 20 years or will things go down the toilet. It's very uncomfortable but not that difficult to see how people can end up eating dog food. I mean unfortunately dog food goes a long way as any dog can tell you.
Imagine this
Imagine if Indians in America had developed satellites and smart bombs six hundred years ago. They could have watched the Nina, pinta, and the Santa Maria sail out into the Atlantic and sunk them with smart bombs. Then gone back to hunting Buffalo.
Shoot illegal aliens in the legs
First of all, we were migrants when we came to America and killed the Indians. The people crossing the border are illegal aliens. Also people that migrate legally are migrants, not people that sneak in and steal social security numbers. They are Invaders and criminals. A wall makes the most sense. It worked for thousands of years around cities. It worked in China. It worked in Berlin during the cold war. It works around billionaires estates. It works pretty well at keeping people out. If Mexicans love Mexico so much why are they fleeing?

It was the worst of news.
My ex wife had made the jump to light speed.
She always lived life on her terms, and it has come to an end.
We spent more than half our time on this planet together, but last year we divorced. You wouldn't have to see it so much to believe it, as to understand it. It was undoubtedly one of the strangest unions the universe will ever see.
My new life partner.
it will be awkward at first
but I'm sure over time we will growe to love each other

Chicks dig homeless guys
No, not all homeless guys. There's a certain type that looks pretty fit and is wearing camos. Chicks think maybe this guy is undercover or ex navy seal. Maybe he's some kind of rouge agent on the lamb. These chicks are 25-33 and generally 5'5" and 128 lbs. They give food or money. The rouge ex navy seals always say thank you. They usually are wearing a ball cap. The military Olive green Australian hat must send some weird message, like I'm really not desperate. A ball cap sends just the right message, intelligent enough to avoid skin cancer but not too dressy.
Once chicks get to be 35+ they know homeless guys are probably homeless for a reason. And they don't make good puppy's.

Living the dream
This isn't a great picture but you get the idea. A huge house sitting alone on a hilltop at the base of the mighty Rocky mountains. This was a big dream that someone made a reality.
Unfortunately it's close to a big city, so eventually the dream will be ruined by city growth. But until that day!

What's going on with me
It's been a wild ride. Thanks to all who have voiced concern.
About ten years ago my wife's health began a steady decline. My mother-in-law's health had been in decline for years including heart surgery at one point. My health was relatively stable thanks to the Strong hands of the Father Son and holy Spirit along with generous amounts of alcohol. My mother-in-law depended most heavily on two of her children, one of which was my wife. We are all Christians and this certainly lightened the load, still it was an emotional rollercoaster. I have continued to work into my senior years and the declining health of my wife and mother-in-law was an additional challenge. In the last two years my mother-in-law died and my wife of 33 years filed for divorce, which is now final. Near the end my mother-in-law said to me, I hated to go out in public, I look scary. I assured her it was old age, but she actually did look scary. She died a few weeks later.
There have been several other aspects of my personal and professional life that have gone non linear, and thanks to the spiritual and physical sustainment of the Father Son and holy Spirit I have continued to flourish. I have had two short term illnesses which required me to quit drinking. Both times I went through alcohol withdrawal, but after going through night sweats and physical recovery I am happily drinking again.
Thanks for all your prayers. If you would like to donate some alcohol please email me at scratchwiththechickens@Gmail.Com
My favorite is vodka. Unfortunately tequila is not agreeable with me. It tastes delicious, but leaves a strange hangover.
Before we divorced my wife became convinced I was trying to kill her. It was sad, but we must go on. Yes, she is still alive.
We will have a wonderful eternity together in the eternal Paradise soon after we finish this rigorous testing.
In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
About ten years ago my wife's health began a steady decline. My mother-in-law's health had been in decline for years including heart surgery at one point. My health was relatively stable thanks to the Strong hands of the Father Son and holy Spirit along with generous amounts of alcohol. My mother-in-law depended most heavily on two of her children, one of which was my wife. We are all Christians and this certainly lightened the load, still it was an emotional rollercoaster.

Filling in some stuff
Here is some speculation about what we are being subjected to in this Earth age. It is wholey based on standard Christian theology, which, at the core, States that Jesus is God in a flesh body.
First imagine that God is infinite. Now imagine God wants to create something. There is one small problem. Infinity is very large, so large that there is nowhere outside of God. Not to worry, God is infinitely smart. By making a tiny little space in that infinite brain God created heaven and the physical universe. Unlike human brains this infinite brain never loses anything.
So with that accomplished God creates humans. Humans are intended to be God's friends forever. Of course there are some questions about what is wrong with some of them. These questions will not be answered here. Anyway, some of these people end up in a happy place called Paradise. Everyone else goes into the lake of fire. These apparently are the rejects.
So people keep saying stuff like, God loves everyone! God would never throw people into an eternal fire. Well imagine this. God runs this simulation about an infinite number of times and guess what. It seems impossible to create a stable eternity with only good people. Once God eliminates the rejects more good people go bad. Now this is not in the Bible, so calm down. But the Bible plainly States that Satan and his angels are in the lake of fire forever. Why not just dissolve them? Why the drama of eternal damnation? Well there must be a reason, you figure it out.
Another thought is, if all things are possible with God, why not make copies of God. Then there could be a near infinite number of perfect infinite beings. This seems to violate a prime reality of infinity. So God has settled on an eternal existence that increases forever and humans shine brighter than the sun. I can live with that.

Look Out! Mountain
This morning, September 2 2019 seemed like a nice quite morning to drive up lookout mountain road, near Golden Colorado. To my surprise there were only a few cars all the way up and back down! A Subaru or two and the obligatory Corvettes. Making up for the lack of motor vehicles were about 50 bicycles. The diversity of the shapes of these cyclers was enlightening. Of course there was a generous serving of rock hard skinny men. The kind where every sinew and tendon bulges under stretched skin. There were some hot babes with some cleavage showing. Very nice. Mostly white and a few orientals. What was most ridiculous was the suicidal descent. These otherwise rational people were whizzing down several miles of winding two Lane black top at 30+ miles per hour. There must be some spectacular crashes to accompany the thrilling views. The entire road from top to bottom has guard rails. There isn't one flat section.

The curse of earthly governments
Yes, the United States government is a curse. Just like every government since ISamuel 8. Government employees make more, get better benefits, and get way more time off than the rest of us. Unless, of course, you're free-loading off the government on welfare, which too some degree is being employed by the government to vote for more government. Now president Trump wants to drain the swamp, which is an admirable goal, except for one thing, the swamp is a curse from God; so there is no fixing it. The argument for government employees living better than the rest of us goes like this, we have to pay higher and make things cushy so we can have the best people working in government. Do you really think the best people want to be treated better than everyone else and basically do nothing? Oh they work hard, just ask them.
[2] Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
[3] And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
[4] Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
[5] And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
[6] But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
[7] And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
[8] According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
[9] Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
[10] And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
[11] And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
[12] And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
[13] And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
[14] And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
[15] And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
[16] And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
[17] He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
[18] And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
[19] Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
[20] That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
[21] And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
[22] And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
1Sam.8
[1] And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.[2] Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
[3] And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
[4] Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
[5] And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
[6] But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
[7] And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
[8] According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
[9] Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
[10] And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
[11] And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.

[14] And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
[15] And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
[16] And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
[17] He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
[18] And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
[19] Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
[20] That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.

Tecarta Bible app
There is an Android Bible app called tecarta. The king James version is nice because it has an add-on for the Strong's numbers and definitions. The big thing it has its a self reading feature. The text to speech has improved significantly. It has a female British voice, which is great. It will start reading anywhere you pick and read till the end of the Bible. Pretty amazing. There is one odd thing. When it is reading and it comes across these characters "semicolon right parenthesis" ;) it says "winky face". And for this :) it says "smiley face". There are a few of these in the king James new testament in some of Paul's writings. Of course Paul wrote in Greek, and there is no punctuation in Greek, but the English needs some punctuation. Not sure why parens are necessary. Be careful not to put your phone under your pillow. It sounds really great this way if you want to listen to it while you sleep. The problem is phones have a battery and the battery overheats and could catch on fire. They make pillow speakers. Maybe there is a Bluetooth one or one that would plug into the headphone plug.
I don't know about you but. ..
