My "Real" name is "Rascal"
Current mood: mischievous
Category: Romance and Relationships It's time that we blog, Russ... Yup, Good Buddy! It's been 12 days since we last did. We've been so very busy that I haven't even managed to work in any ladies...LOL It's true what the scripture says, Russ: Galatians 5:16 [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Yeah, Buddy, I guess that it is. Ya just can't find the time... I suppose I should start calling you by our "Real" name, "Rascal"? Well, that's who we are. Yet, I'm going to continue calling you Russ however, because that's who you thought that you were. And, that's what you expected me ~ and everyone else ~ to call you, Russ, for the last 58 years. That's not entirely true, Rascal. I was only called Russ for our "1st" 58 years...LOL... As we are approaching "Mid~life" now, we will be called Rascal for the "Next" 58 plus years ~ or until Our Master calls us home. You got me on that one, Russ...LOL... Yet, what we've really got is each other. We'll be much more happy now that you know our "Real" name too. Hey, Rascal! If you knew our "Real" name, knew who we were, why didn't you tell me? It wasn't my job to tell you, Russ. It was God's job ~ at His time ~ when you were ready. Well, God, I'm glad that He has! Don't call me that, Russ... Call me Rascal. Right, Rascal. Anyway, it is sure good to know that I got over the Multiple Sclerosis, this week. I'm really proud of that! Careful Russ. God humbles the proud but gives grace to the humble. 1 Peter 5:5 You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. Thanks, Rascal. I guess, that I needed to hear that? You're welcome, Russ. Now, let's tell our readers who we are and why Our Master revealed our name to you. Then, later today ~ we'll publish an ezine article about it so others in need of health, healing, money, and "Truth" can find out how and where to find us too. Rascal is the owner of several websites, including the MilesBooks.com website. Born nearly deaf, he was too busy, to even take notice. " Ready ~ Fire ~ Aim!" He did take notice when, at 53 years of age, Rascal was disabled by Multiple Sclerosis. When asked (in a word) to describe himself, Rascal replied, "Rascal! My name says it all." Rascal explains why God revealed his 'Real' name. "For years, I'd been bothered by a scripture. Revelation 2:17 `He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.' I knew that we were living in the Book of Revelation, or 'End times.' I also knew that I had two ears, yet I couldn't hear what my new name was." LOL "Yes, when God told me 'Rascal', I Laughed Out Loud." When my mother had given me my earthly name, she had come pretty close. Wanting a name that started with an 'R' ~ to go with her other two children's names ~ Rita and Robert. Mom knew that it didn't sound quite right. So, she used the 'R' name as my middle one. Well, she had her '3 Rs.' Yet, when delighted or amused, she always called me by some variation of that name. "You little Rascal," Mother would say. Frequently, she called me by one of the noun names that are synonymous with my 'Real' name, Rascal. "You little..." 'Scamp,' 'Monkey,' or 'Imp.' " Never really comfortable with my name however, I determined to make one for myself based on success and personal triumphs. I've sold just about everything that is legal. Yes, I've held many licenses and professional designations, owned several businesses, and all of that. Yet, the reason that I've been successful, is that I am a 'Rascal' ~ one who is playfully mischievous.' I love people. That's why, in a word, I really am a 'Rascal.' Retired from real estate in SW Washington, Rascal now writes books & articles on a wide variety of subjects. With his varied interests, charmed life, and a background in several industries, Rascal has derived the experience needed to provide the "Inside information" for his forceful ezine articles and books. An advocate for the hearing impaired, disabled, crippled, abuse victims, and all people with disabilities, Rascal feels strongly that there is always something that we can do to encourage and assist survivors to live healthier, happier, and more self-empowered lifestyles. He believes in helping each other in whatever ways that we can, no matter how small a gesture it may be. "We always get more back than we can possibly give. It's a spiritual principle." In the same week that God revealed my 'Rascal' name to me, He also asked me to launch 'A rainbow Reminder' cyber-space vessel to deliver earth-bound survivors from disease, financial lack, and confusion. 'You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.' God's latest work of grace in my life happened the following week. He "Cured" Me of MS (Multiple Sclerosis). Yet, this is another 'A Rainbow Reminder' series ezine article which I will publish very soon ... "Rascal" |
