Jerri Lyn Frantzve (passed away with that last name) was born to Marjorie C Ferrin and Martin Wayne (Ripp) Pitts. Beautiful people btw. Lots of articles on them.
A poem I wrote when I was young. Probably the only one I’ve written that I actually like. 😂
My Church
I love my church, it’s full of people.
What kind of members do you have under your steeple?
Kind and gentle, or fowl and goth?
The wolf-type under a sheep-like cloth.
I feel their presence in this place;
I feel no judgment, I receive their grace.
The tranquility they bring me I hold dear;
The ones above, below a mirror
No judgement do they demonstrate
No seeds of doubt, no clouds of hate
Hatred never runs their veins,
Nor complain on days it rains
They listen well, their love is deep;
They lift my spirit from underneath
To share their love, their peace to know,
That’s only realized once below
To finally learn how small my woes;
How little my problems, how weak my foes.
This church that’s mine, they strengthen me;
Reminds myself, they hold the key-
That life is short so while we’re here,
Choose love and life over death and fear. ❤️
Have been looking for a poem to rival Rudyard’s for 20 years. This still is the most profound poem to me and resonates deep within my soul. ❤️
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But, make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet, don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop, and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance- RUN!,
YOURS is the Earth, and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!

We need to ask questions and protect the right to ask them. However, using AI to make someone you suspect or disagree with look worse through the lens of imagination is not a righteous move. In fact, you are playing for the same team coached by the opposition of The Most High God.
The Seven Mountains Mandate traces back to 1975 when Bill Bright and Loren Cunningham independently claimed to receive similar visions from God, instructing them to focus on the seven spheres of society to turn nations towards Christ. The modern more aggressive “mandate” framing, gained popularity in the early 2000s through Lance Wallnau, a business consultant, and speaker associated with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Wallnau popularized the “mountains” language and co-authored the 2013 influential book “Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate” with Bethel Church pastor Bill Johnson.
Fast forward. David Lane, founder of the American Renewal Project, is massively funding Pastor Summits where the goal is to influence the masses through church to gain votes in politics. Another goal is to encourage pastors to take public office. Rob McCoy introduced Charlie to the Seven Mountains Mandate.
A huge shout-out to my research buddies- @idontgiveadom@imperfectgracej@CharlieGoesMax as always! ❤️

This is a tactic used by people who really DONT want to meet. TPUSA did the same thing. Counter with accepting a challenge but with rules that make one feel uncomfortable or impossible in hopes they decline or counter with a different set of rules. Once they decline or change rules, then people go ape with accusations of that person having something to hide. Such an annoying mind game. 🙄 In-person, neutral venue. That can be arranged. NEVER bring anyone into your home where your kids are located. Ever. (And honestly, for someone to demand access to a person’s home is absurd and frankly, borders intimidation tactics.)
The Seven Mountains of Cultural Influence… also know as the Seven Mountains Mandate. Rob McCoy introduced Charlie to this strategic and theological framework that teaches Christians are called by God to gain influence or “take dominion” over seven key “mountains” (spheres or arenas) of culture and society to transform nations, advance God’s kingdom on earth, and in some versions, help usher in end-time events or the return of Christ.
I'm so happy for my homie @idontgiveadom!!! ❤️
I could tell she was legit about to cry when @baroncoleman revealed himself as a watcher in her live chat.
"Ugh, I have to wash my hair... but I NEED TO WATCH BARON! Fine, I'll do it later or tomorrow." 😂
