I'm guessing u have no mailing address, ie, p.o. box, etc.... that I could use to send funds? (I know it's an expense you don't need.) But I'm "dinosaur" until I can no longer be.

1) Your story would be a great script for the big screen

2) No wonder all the movies recently suck! You nailed it!!!!

God bless you for your courage and determination, despite the horrendous consequences and constant risk to your safety and life.

Thank you for sharing!!! Hugs

Something really strange that I have never been able to wrap my head around was when I was in LA and met up with this ‘random’ millionaire who took me to his private freakin’ art gallery to show me paintings of demons eating children from pre-Soviet Russia told me he OWNS THE RIGHTS TO MAKE MY STORY INTO A MOTION PICTURE.

I have no idea what the hell he was talking about. How can you even do that? I’d have laughed if it wasn’t for the fact the guy owned his own freakin’ art gallery stuffed to the gills with paintings that cost more than any car I have ever owned.

If you want to make a donation to a local charity in the name of The Wise Wolf that is acceptable.

WAT???? Y8kes!!!! This world is crazy scary!

Donating to a charity doesn't help pay the bills. But ok, just thought I'd ask.

Oh believe me, we need the money. I just don;t have anywhere you can send it to. I move constantly and even I don't know Lily's actual address. She only accepts payments in crypto.

Hugs to both of you!

Seriously adding you to my prayer list, those are some pretty scary investigative journalist survival statistics that I confess I was completely unaware of. Also praying for Shelly and Lily. Godspeed.

"When someone puts a brick through your window at four in the morning with a note that just says ‘DIE!’ on it ..."

Cue Sideshow Bob at his parole hearing on The Simpsons:

Lawyer: What about that tattoo on your chest? Doesn't it say "DIE BART DIE?"

Sideshow Bob: No, that's German for "THE BART, THE. "

* Audience laughs *

Juror lady: No one who speaks German can be an evil man.

And we wonder why there aren’t more “ real” journalists? Where’s the incentive? I guess you’re not behind a desk all day. 🤗 You should probably have one to get under, once in awhile?

Ok, honestly… where was all the hate toward you coming from when you came to Substack? Or was that acquired from specific writing? I just remember a lot of re- stacking & blocking, etc. , and bad words describing you. I tend to stay clear of conflict. It’s a character flaw, along with my optimism. I’m working on it. 🤦‍♀️

Nevermind, it really doesn’t matter. Your last couple posts I’ve read have been pretty brilliant. Maybe I’m thinking of an entirely different wolf.

People are interesting in reading your words. We need those that aren’t afraid to wrote about what is under all the rugs. There’s a LOT there & I’m not surprised that there are so many

wanting to cover up the mess. I’m watching you, just saying. Not in a creepy way, but you know, 3 times is a charm.

Stay safe, & stay true to your words. 🏆

Also, God judges less than HE loves you. HE can seriously help you find a path that’s safer, while allowing you to share your writing gifts. I just know it!

Is that water mark on the ceiling actually what it looks like in person? Or is that image spiffied up for comic value? If it’s what it actually looks like, I’d sleep sooooo soundly there. That is indeed a sign that God has you. The love and devotion for revealing truth of any kind, big or small, is indeed a Holy crusade that requires His protection. Truth is the most powerful weapon in the world, and the most feared. By every single man and woman.

I personally don’t believe in modern day prophetic foretelling of the future today like some do, as I interpret the Bible to have phased that out in the New Testament along with speaking in tongues as God no longer uses those methods to speak to us anymore, (I realize some faiths believe differently, this is just my interpretation,) but I DO believe that people are STILL born with the gift of prophecy and have all the skills and temperaments and natural traits that the biblical prophets possessed. They are made the same. If God were to ever choose to use prophets again, these are the people he would tap on the shoulder.

There’s more to what prophets do than telling what’s to come. Prophecy announces the truth too. It hungers and yearns for truth to be revealed and known by all. The urge to speak it is as hard to suppress as a sneeze is. It takes courage to utilize your gift of prophecy, and it’s a lonely road you have to learn to be comfortable with given that most people don’t like to hear the truth. I know. This is my spiritual gift.

Just because God doesn’t give me visions of what’s to come doesn’t mean there isn’t a need for this spiritual gift in other ways. (Although I do get a weird feeling of future events that you might call lucky guesses, but it’s still not the same or as clear as biblical prophets. Although I’ve got a pretty eerie batting average with my senses, almost 1.000)

Anyway, this is what drives you. It’s part of the way God made you. He gifted you with the traits of a prophet and your passion to pursue truth is because of that. Your courage to do it is because of that. Your tenacity in spite of the danger is because of that. You’re using your gift to the fullest. It’s inspiring. May God continue to protect you and provide for your daily needs. ❤️🙏

haha I had to Photoshop it a little to get it to look ‘better’

i have a brain disorder that i recognize patterns that others do not see. it’s one of the reasons journalism is the only job I can work without wanting to shoot myself in the head

Omg. Tell me that photo is not a real photo of Jesus in the water stain on your hotel ceiling. Yes, I am that gullible. If so, that would be a bit spooky, but you could make it on an episode of TMZ or something. Reminds me of the "Glee" TV series episode where Finn tosses a piece of bread in his toaster and it comes out with the face of Jesus superimposed on it. He struggles to explain it to his friends, thinking it was a genuine supernatural sign.

Dude, I think we need to make a movie of your adventurous, dangerous life. Start a GoFundMe for it. Crap, where could we show it though? The dark web?

Thank you again for your wise words. It seems as if our lives are one big carnival. Not knowing what or who is real and true. I appreciate that you and lily help open our eyes to the world behind the world.
