Dawg and Me: A Roar-ing Adventure

A Bloggers Tribute and a Heartfelt Thank You.


I want to give a big shout-out 🗣️ today to my dear friend and someone I am truly honored to call my Brother—Ernie.

Ernie was one of the very first people I connected with here, and from day one, he was nothing but kind, helpful, and supportive. When I was learning the ropes of WordPress and figuring out how to create AI-generated images with Copilot 💻, Ernie was always there to lend a hand. His willingness to help a newcomer like me truly speaks volumes 📢 about the kind of person he is.


In a world where so many people are self-involved or too busy chasing their own glory 🤦🏻‍♂️ to help others, Ernie stands out as a rare gem. He’s not one of those “glory hogs” (as I like to call them) who demand all the attention, nor is he the type to ignore someone in need. Instead, he goes out of his way to uplift others, even strangers.


If you haven’t already, I highly encourage you to check out Ernie’s blog. His creative and heartfelt poetry will amaze you, and there’s never a dull moment when you’re reading his work.

Dawgy Daddy responds – The views of an altered mind come alive


Beyond his poetry, Ernie’s humor and wit 😜, will often have you laughing out loud. He’s a man of many passions, from his love of coffee ☕️ to his taste in music 🎶, and, of course, his unwavering loyalty to that other team (yes, his beloved Alabama Crimson Tide🏈🐘 —roll your eyes here if you must, but don’t hold it against him 😁😂🤣).


Keep an eye out for Ink Stained Love—coming soon.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t highlight one of Ernie’s latest achievements: he’s now a published author and poet 📝. His book will soon be available for purchase, and I have no doubt it will be nothing short of incredible. Keep an eye out for updates because you won’t want to miss the chance to grab a copy.

Ernie, thank you for everything. Thank you for your kindness, your friendship, your support, your encouragement, and the love you’ve shown. I am beyond Blessed to know you, and I wish you nothing but Love, Peace, and countless Blessings today and always.


Peace, love, and cheers to us 👍🏻👍🏻 we’re published authors !!


One more thing I have to highlight about Ernie before I end this, is his incredible generosity in recognizing and uplifting others. As I mentioned earlier, he’s far from being a “glory hog.” Instead, Ernie goes out of his way to celebrate fellow bloggers, often giving them heartfelt shout-outs 📢 on his posts. Whether it’s through writing a poem, crafting an AI image, or creating a beautiful and meaningful tribute, Ernie consistently shines a light on others in the most genuine way.


Ernie truly is in a class of his own, and this world could use more people like him. As a Christian, I’ve experienced this kind of love and kindness only in my Small Group, but I never expected to encounter it in the broader world. Ernie has shown me that people like him do exist; kind, selfless, and sincere. It’s a reminder that goodness still thrives in unexpected places.

Once again my Brother. May the Lord Continue to Bless You today and always.

You Are Loved.

Willie

      I’ve never done anything like this before (a Blogger’s Tribute or highlight), but I felt it was well worth it. Ernie is always quick to give others a shoutout, and as I mentioned in the post, he never hesitates to help, encourage, or uplift someone. I wanted to take a moment to let him know that he is truly one incredible Dude 👍🏻.

    Hi Willie, I only met Ernie this year, but it didn’t take long to see how kind he is. Out of the blue, he read my latest book and posted a 5-star review. That was a nice surprise and totally unexpected. So, this is a wonderful tribute to him, and we need more kindness in the world. By the way, thank you for visiting my blog too.

He truly is one of a kind, and I’m so glad you got to experience his generosity firsthand. I completely agree, we need more kindness in the world, and Ernie is a perfect example of that.

      And you’re very welcome. I enjoy visiting your blog, and I always look forward to what you share.

      It’s an unfortunate truth, but it’s why, even though I’ve thanked Ernie for his help, I felt it was important to give him a special honor and tribute. People like him are truly one in a million. Anyone who follows his blog and engages with him can see firsthand what a great person he is, he’s always ready to lend a hand, and I’ve experienced that generosity myself on many occasions.

    Great post. You guys had me going…. Tried to comment over on the Dawg’s page, but not sure it “took”… it said basically that it brought to mind a road trip of another legendary MI boy… he wrote a song about it and my fav lyric goes like this:

    Stood alone on a mountain top
    Starin’ out at the Great Divide
    I could go east, I could go west
    It was all up to me to decide

    I really thought you guys jumped on an AmTrak out to OR 😎 Love AmTrak! ❤️🚆

    Hope y’all do take that trip some day… and as much as I’d like to say “Roll Ti—“ uh.. wait… “Roll—“ 🤮 Wait once more…. “ROL—“ argh. Sorry guys. This ol’ FL Gator just can’t get those words crost ma tongue, hard as I try 😎❤️🏄‍♂️

    Beautiful work, Willie, together with Ernie. The tribute you pay is your way of showing gratitude. Indeed, as you mentioned, nowadays, the cult of “celebrities” on social media has increased people’s egos, who, for a handful of likes and followers, think they are gods and arrogant. But, at the same time, we can find people who resonate with our energies, right? That’s fantastic, gratitude for the work you share with us, for the tribute and at the same time for the reflections on today’s society. I wish you a blessed weekend full of inspiration.😊✍🏻✨🙏🏻🦁

      Quantum Physics – perhaps pie in the sky. The notion of some “New” logic, what a load of hogwash.

      The truth values of quantum propositions can depend on the context and the measurement processes involved. This is distinct from classical logic, where truth values are absolute. False statement. פרדס logic a legal system which compares court room judicial rulings to other yet similar courtroom rulings. The idea that truth values are absolute – utter hogwash. The attending audience to a court proceeding can and often has influenced the decision reached by the bench ie judges. A clear cut example being a lynch mob! פרדס logic share no common ground with A∧(B∨C)=(A∧B)∨(A∧C). Unlike classical propositions (true or false), פרדס logic rejects such black vs. white thinking.

      The human eye views the world as having multiple shades of color – so too and how much more so פרדס logic. The lattice system rigid. The rules established by rabbis Yishmael 13 rules and Yossi HaGalilee 32 rules fluid and variable. Talmudic common law applies to all generations and time or situations. Hence this fits into a superposition of states until a measurement is made; multiple states simutaneously – represented mathematically by wave functions or calculus variables.

      Wave function compares to the Supreme Court Roe vs Wade ruling and later another Supreme Court invalidating that ruling in favor of States Rights to regulate State trade and commerce based upon the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution. Roe vs Wade reflects the massive support for abortion choice made by individuals rather than some State or Federal rule which determined the matter straight up out of hand. The generation of the 1970s a completely different generation of the 2020s. Hence, abortion like the issue of slavery became a variable that changes over time.

      פרדס logic in like manner … since the Rambam published his Mishna Torah that became the model for Jewish halachic rulings till the 1948 Israeli Independence war. After Jews ruled their homeland rather than being stateless refugee populations which had no political or civil rights, the Israeli court system absolutely rejects the Rambam statute law code in favor of the Talmudic common law model of precedent law.

      Hilbert space theory prophetic mussar absolutely rejects. Mussar defines T’NaCH prophesy for the simple reason that mussar – unlike witchcraft does not pretend to predict the future as did Bil’aam the Goy “prophet”. Mussar instructs rebukes which require a person to grow that rebuke inside the spirit of their hearts and mature that idea as their own. For example the growth of a tree on sandy dry soil develops completely different than the same species of tree grown on flat mineral rich soil. פרדס logic stands upon the foundations of prophetic T’NaCH mussar. But how a person matures that mussar within the spirits of their hearts – this has no fixed equation.

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
