Story: Blue Jay
Story by Gail Nobles © 2025

There dwelt a blue jay whose feathers were beautiful and blue. He strutted among the branches and spoke: “Behold my beauty; surely I am second to none in all the birds of the field.” And the other birds marveled, but none challenged his words, for his voice was bold and his tail a banner in the sun.

Then came a season of scant seeds and a famine pressed the birds with hunger. The blue jay, seeing the need, would not share his store, saying, “This plenty is mine.” He the crumbs and filled his own beak, while the little ones looked on with eyes not of scorn but of thirst and hunger.

And a storm arose, and the trees cried aloud, and the blue jay found himself pressed by wind and rain. A steadfast robin, who had once given him shelter in a dry place, beckoned him to follow to a hollow of rock and fern. The jay’s pride yielded not, yet the robin persisted, saying, “The path is for all who hunger.”

At last the blue jay, moved by hunger and memory, opened his beak and shared what remained, and the birds gathered, not in envy but in gratitude. Then the wind calmed, the rain ceased, and the meadow learned a truth: not by the brightness of a coat but by the generosity of a heart is a creature counted great. Therefore, the blue jay’s fame grew not for his blue alone, but for the mercy he showed, which outshone the glitter of feathers.

True light is kindled in giving, and pride is peeled away by the call of those who hunger.

Hey there, music lovers! It’s your host Gail Nobles spinning the tales of the golden ages of sound right here on your favorite podcast! Grab your ear buds, keep those volume knobs ready, because we’re diving deep into a record label that changed the game forever—yes, I’m talking about the Victor Talking Machine Company! 🎵

Now, let’s take a trip back to 1901, when Victor was born in Camden, New Jersey. Can you imagine the very first notes of modern music production filling the air. Victor wasn't just another recording company—it was THE recording company! They were the kings of the phonograph—a fancy word for those classic record players we all adore.

And what about “His Master’s Voice” logo? It’s not just a cute dog and a gramophone. It’s a symbol of musical prestige! You might see it on albums today, but back in the early 20th century, it represented the pinnacle of sound quality and artistry. Victor held the reins as the haven for operatic and classical music lovers, delivering legendary recordings with their Red Seal label.

Fast forward to 1929, and guess what? These titans of tunes joined forces with the Radio Corporation of America—RCA, as you know it! This merger created the RCA Victor Division, turbocharging their already formidable influence over the record industry. They kept the hits coming, and if you were grooving to the sounds of the '30s, '40s, or '50s, you could bet your bottom dollar that Victor would have the hottest tracks rolling out!

As we rolled into the '60s, the music scene exploded with electric energy and revolutionary sounds, but Victor continued to ride that wave. They were synonymous with quality and innovation, ensuring that your ears were always treated to the best of the best!

Now, by late 1968, the world of music was shifting, and so was Victor’s identity. It transformed into RCA Records! So there you have it, folks—a legacy that started with a talking machine, a playful puppy, and an unyielding quest for sonic perfection. Victor Talking Machine Company was more than just a label; it was a movement that laid the groundwork for the music industry as we know it!

So, whether you’re spinning vinyl or streaming today’s hottest hits, remember the roots of your favorite tunes, and give a nod to the giants that paved the way. This is your podcaster Gail Nobles, podcasting off with a blast from the past. Keep those records spinning!

We're diving into the dazzling world of a true pioneer: Fanny Brice! This incredible woman was a firecracker of talent, lighting up the stage, the radio waves, and the big screen with her one-of-a-kind charisma. Known for her sharp wit and unmatched humor, Fanny didn't just make audiences laugh; she made them feel!

Now, let’s talk about that song for a moment, titled, “My Man.” It’s a whirlwind of emotions! Here’s this fabulous woman singing about a man who's not treating her right – he’s got other ladies and even raises his hand against her. You’d think her ballad would be all doom and gloom, but hold on a second! The music has a lively, jazzy swing to it!

She sings: All my life is just despair but I don’t care.

Fanny contrasts sadness with this uplifting melody, creating a paradox of emotions. It’s almost like she's saying, "Hey, life may be tough, but I'm not going to wallow in it!" She was a woman who showed strength, even when she was hurt. That’s the magic of Fanny Brice.

And let’s not forget about the portrayal of Brice by none other than Barbra Streisand in the musical ‘Funny Girl.’ Now, that was a match made in showbiz heaven! Streisand took the essence of Fanny’s life and spirit and turned it into something magical and timeless, proving that Brice’s story was one for the ages!

There are Four Horsemen in the Book of Revelation. During the pandemic, it felt like the black horse was around because it felt like famine was going to come, and it feels that way now. When I was going to the grocery store during the pandemic, the things I needed most we're not on the shelf. The things I needed most were sometimes hard to get even though you had the money to get it.

 The Black Horseman that rise the black horse in Revelation 6:5 is understood to be famine. He carries a pair of balances in his hand.

 When I go to the store now, a box of cereal is five dollars of more. The prices are getting higher, and what you see in a pack is getting smaller. It's very sad. Times are getting tough more and more. I believe the Black Horseman is riding and getting more intense as time goes by.

Hi! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to the InkPost in the color wheel section. The color I see today is red. I've been seeing different rivers and news reports flowing red in color. I don't know if it has anything to do with the end times. It certainly reminds me of the end times prophecy but it doesn't line up with what the Bible said in order with tribulation. It's funny though how the rivers are turning red all over a sudden and more than one. I'm just glad the rivers are only just red in color and have not turned to blood. I've never seen water turn red before, but we are living in the end times.

It has been said in one report that water in Rivers, Lakes, Seas, and even rain is turning red in color. Maybe it's just a warning and a sign. Fish are dying. Some reports say it's algae. Some reports say that it is red tide.

Rev. 16:3 tells us that the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

V4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

Things don't look and sound as bad as Revelation yet. But things are happening in the end times. We see war and climate change. Things that were fortod. Disasters seem to be getting worse.

You're listening to the InkPost. Keep watching and praying. Thank you for listening.

Harry did not like his surname Lego which meant put together and play well. He no longer wanted to put together and play. Technology was growing. Harry did not want to build his ideas anymore with his hands. He lived in crucial times and supplies were very expensive for him to build. Times were getting hard. Harry no longer wanted to enter interlock blocks. He wanted to expand.

Harry decided to put away his toys. People began to break in homes and steal in his neighborhood. All of his ideas and designs were kept in his laptop. There was gun violence. Harry studied how to transform his body into interlock shapes and travel from one place to another. He decided to make a costume that could do all the work for him so that he did not have to worry about putting his body in danger. Harry's costume was a shield as it as he traveled, bulletproof, and it looked like a beam of light and molecules as it transform.

Harry played tricks and fooled men that robbed testing his costume. He snatched money they stole and gave to the poor. After years of experimenting and building, Harry could finally be seen with his best idea out into the world.

Hello, I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to the InkPost. Today I want to talk to you about another Angel that I have seen.


He was just pure white as snow. I can not tell you the angel’s race. That I do not know. I can only imagine what he would have looked like in color. So I decided to make two illustrations. I made a black and white illustration and a colored illustration. The black and white illustration is how I actually saw him.

What does the Bible say about angels? They have appeared to people in the Bible like Jacob (Gen. 32:24–30) and Abraham (Gen. 18:1–33). They are spiritual beings. Angels have superhuman power, and they have knowledge.

Don’t Worship Angels We are not supposed to bow down to angels according to Rev. 22:8–9. Rev. 22:8 said, “And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.”

Rev. 22:9 said, “Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”

Also read Rev. 19:10. God is the only one that we are supposed to worship. God made the angels just like he made human beings. Even the angels worship God. God is our creator. One of the Ten Commandments said, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” So if you ever see an angel, remember not to fall down to worship him. Worship God only.

Today’s topic: Tattoo Markings

There are a lot of guys and girls putting tattoo markings all over their bodies. I don’t think it looks good at all. A small one here and there doesn’t look so bad. But when they are all over the arms, I think it looks terrible. On top of that, some people have really nice skin. Yet, they want to mark up their bodies all over.

There is a Bible verse about cutting into the flesh which can refer to tattoo markings. The Lord said in Leviticus 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.

In Cor. 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

So first Corinthians 6 tells us why we shouldn’t do certain things to the body.

I think it is sinful to have tattoo markings all over the body. I think going too far with anything is a sin anyway. Too much of anything is not good.

I’ve seen some really handsome guys with tattooed faces. I don’t know about how other women feel, but if I were to date a guy, I want to see his face, arms, and legs too. I want to see the natural born man.

Hi, I’m Gail Nobles. Welcome to the InkPost. Today’s topic is “As Long As the Sun and Moon Endureth”. From the book of Psalms. Psalm 72:5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. 6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. 7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

Now let’s go to Rev. 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

In Revelation, it sounds like God is punishing the world and the wicked for the evil. The day of God’s wrath.

But, it sounds as if the book of Psalms is speaking on the millennium. It sounds as if it is speaking of the messiah’s days when his kingdom is fully established. When the righteous will flourish and prosper. What do you think it means when it talks about the sun and moon enduring? I think it means as long as time and the world shall last. Till the moon and the sun will be no more.

I’m Gail Nobles, and thank you for listening to the InkPost.
