Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.
On April 6, 1858, Abraham Lincoln gave his first lecture on “Discoveries and Inventions” before the Young Men’s Association of Bloomington, Illinois.
Whether by my own volition; or by some forces much greater than myself . . . I took the risk of being born a colombnizado [sic.], ethnically-cleansed, completamente asimilado, indígena, native, “red-arse” Mexican-Greaser; and STILL NOT regretting it . . .
NAVAJO: RED-ARSE “MEXICAN GREASER”
. . . because suffering leads to spiritual maturity and brings us closer to God in the face of adversity (cf., Psalm 6:1-8) . . .
That is not to say God’s favor; and divine providence is ever without much LONGSUFFERING . . . (cf., The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares: Matthew 13:24-30; God favored Jacob over Esau ·UNCONDITIONALLY [Prior to moment of conception] — “not because of works but because of Him who calls” ~Romans 9:11)
However, in the end, God’s team ALWAYS wins!
Though somewhat obscure in the beginning, this subject shows the efficacy of a mother’s prayer. Holy is the name Mother, and many who stray from the path of righteousness to the radiantly alluring avenues of sin and prodigality, are rescued from the inevitable end by her prayers. So it is with the hero of this story. Jose, a handsome young MEXICAN[-GREASER], leaves his home in the ‘SIERRA MADRE’ [SERRATED MOTHER] MOUNTAINS to seek his fortune in the States. On leaving, his dear old mother bestows upon him her blessing, presenting him with a pair of gauntlets, upon the dexter wrist of which she has embroidered a Latin Cross. This she intended as a symbol and reminder to him of her and her prayers for his welfare. She cautions him to be temperate, honest and dispassionate: TO BEAR THE ‘BURDEN’ OF LIFE’S ‘CROSS‘ [The MOST HEINOUS of all CRIMES committable — the CRIME of having been born as a RUDDY-ARSE little MEXICAN-GREASER] with fortitude and patience.”

A: POR CAUSA DE la avaricia y corrupción, la situación política en algunos países resulta en mucha guerra y muerte. Los con profundas convicciones espirituales SUFREN persecución A CAUSA DE la obediencia a sus creencias.

A QUAKER STEW
A bubbling pot of Quakerism with just a dash of ecumenical spice
December 05, 2015
The writer of Hebrews is warning his readers about the dangers of falling away from the true faith in the face of severe persecution. This is Nayler’s intention too. The tract reveals the importance of suffering within early Quaker spirituality and demonstrates that, in the way of Jesus, evil is always overcome NON-VIOLENTLY. Below is a simple summary of Nayler’s message:
Suffering leads to spiritual maturity and brings us closer to God…
JAMES NAYLER’S TRACT – ‘MILK FOR BABES AND MEAT FOR STRONG MEN’

The greatest compliment I’ve ever received was given to me by el presidente Abraham Lincoln during his first lecture on “Discoveries and Inventions” (before the Young Men’s Association of Bloomington, Illinois) wherein he referred to my ancestors as “Indians” and “Mexican GREASERS” while acknowledging the fact that we had already “·been trodden upon” gold “for centuries” [existing on our own lands prior to him stealing it all during his 1849 (cf., San Francisco 49ers) CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH‘S “Manifest Destiny” ]. And “yankees, almost instantly, discover gold in California,” after we had already existed there “for centuries.”
To be fruitful in invention, it is indispensable to have a habit of observation and reflection; and this habit, our steam friend acquired, no doubt, from those who, to him, were old fogies. But for the difference in habit of observation, why did yankees, almost instantly, discover gold in California, which had been trodden upon, and over-looked by indians and MEXICAN GREASERS, for centuries?

David Jacks (18 April 1822 – 11 January 1909) was a powerful Californian landowner, developer, and businessman. Born in Scotland, he [illegally] ·emigrated to [occupied] California during the 1849 Gold Rush, and soon [illegally] ·acquired [occupied] several thousand acres in and around Monterey, shaping the history of Monterey County in the first decades of American possession. He is also credited as being the first to market and popularize Monterey Jack cheese. He was born David Jack, but took to spelling his last name “Jacks” once in California.
After several years working as an army contractor in Brooklyn, where he reputedly met Captain Robert E. Lee, Jack read about the 1848 finding of gold in the Sierra Nevada. In November of that year he sailed with an artillery regiment to California, arriving in San Francisco in April 1849. Having invested in revolvers Jacks made a $4,000 profit upon landing in San Francisco, and then took up a job at the city’s Customs House.
In 1850, Jacks moved to Monterey, initially taking up a job in the store of a fellow Scotsman, James McKinlay. By 1852 Jack had been elected Treasurer of Monterey County and began purchasing land in the area.
David Jacks married Maria Christina Soledad Romie (1837-1917) on April 20, 1861, in San Luis Obispo, California and produced nine children, with only seven surviving childhood. Maria was born in Oaxaca, Mexico on June 9, 1837, the daughter of John Frederick Romie (1801-1849) and Maria Magdalena Frohn (1801-1886), who emigrated to Mexico from Germany in 1835.

(cf., Genesis 3:14; “They were stronger than Turk and Saracen, but not than Hunger and Disease. Leaders did not know then, as our little Friend at Berlin came to know, that ‘an Army, like a serpent, goes upon its belly.’“)
In June 1874 Henry Cerruti, in the employ of Hubert Howe Bancroft, interviewed Dorotea Valdez, whose father was Juan Bautista Valdez, a member of the Portola expedition. Dorotea lived in a pueblo, which she asserted was illegally obtained by Jacks. When Cerutti asked her if she knew him, this is what she said:
wikipedia.orgSeñor Jacks is the owner of the pueblo. In my opinion he is a very mean man, a cunning rascal, and pious hypocrite. He is such a miser that he even denies his own wife and children the comforts of life. At the present time, Jacks considers himself a millionaire. But as soon the railroad begins to operate, many foreigners will come to settle here. Rest assured that is when Señor Jacks will receive the punishment he deserves. All we want is for some clever lawyer to take the pueblo land away from him. The American authorities sold land that did not belong to them in order to pay off the debts. This is land that nobody had the right to give away because it rightfully belongs to every man woman and child who was born in our town. When the pueblo owned the land currently owned by David Jacks, people could just go out and gather the wood they needed. Our horses and cattle could graze everywhere and nobody bothered them. Ever since this evil man obtained possession of our land, he has placed fences everywhere. Even the famous well where the pirates landed in 1819 is surrounded by a fence. Señor Jacks is a natural born enemy of everything related to our history. He even tried to gain possession of the crops by the bridge. There is a live oak tree near those crops and it is under that very tree that Fr. Junìpero Serra said his first mass on June 7, 1770.
Finalmente, si una persona pecare, o hiciere alguna de todas aquellas cosas que por mandamiento de Jehová no se han de hacer, aun sin hacerlo a sabiendas, es culpable, y llevará su pecado.
¿Cómo decís: Nosotros somos sabios, y la ley de Jehová está con nosotros? Ciertamente la ha cambiado en mentira la pluma mentirosa de los escribas.
