I will only know what I finally and truly believe in the foxhole. Then it will be too late to change. If I see anything now in the shadows, I am really seeing something forming in my fading mind of flesh. I perhaps live in my own galaxy. I will find out what I really believe when I get in the final foxhole. But then it may be too late to change. This is because my spirit may not be able to change when it is eternal and therefore out of time. This is why I have to figure out my own salvation now as my GranzeeMother so often said. In the spirit my father will appear to me as my father and to his father he will appear as his son. I wonder?

Fan of quotes
"Growth is the only evidence of life."
I like this quote by someone, I forget who, doesn't overly much matter who, since I find it common to see several people credited for the same quote.
As far as growth is concerned, it strikes me growth itself is an indication of death along with it. The fewer the words the harder it is to come up with anything notably significant. Writing a novel may be hard but it is harder to write a short story' It is easier itself to write than a poem. Quotes are even harder. There are a lot of fatuous quotes, some so called said by famous people which are quite, I should say, trite. Henry James I think is one. Oh well, I suppose we all will be a long time trite soon enough.

We learn only to discover our hidden ignorances
Nothing faster than the speed of light? It seems hard for us to recognize we know so much about science while we seek desperately for things that can be proved. Still, it always comes to me quietly in the corners of my mind the truths we fathom within our ignorance are hiding so much we do not yet know.
I suspect the spirit is faster than any speed of light we can calculate. It might even be impossible to reason outside the speed of time. Often, when someone is no more I've seen truths I never thought of when they were alive.

The Devil Whittles His Way in Wherever He Can
Where would the devil send his workers?
To a bar room or to a church? If there are those who insist on believing in God, then their instructions likely to attack, not Him directly, but only His power?

Only the King James.
The Wishy and the Washy;
Life in My Backbone
Some verses are more important than others. Anything about faith has to be of the most important.
Hebrews 11:1 ranks right up at the very top. Ever since the original King James, most translations I have ever read, have weakened the power of faith in my view.
What do you think? Are translations to be translating-ly true, or grammatically true, and of lesser strength spiritually?
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This is a stronger kind of faith, in the King Janes, is it not?

Defining Ourselves
The flesh, according to the future, is always fading and cannot help us... this according to Jesus.

Both giving and taking
Everything is taken in faith, including proof, according each to our own perceptions. In short, I will get what I am giving.
Greater knowledge reveals greater ignorance.
Nothing can be proved, except ultimately....that is, to our own satisfaction. New answers reveal new questions, themselves revealing our even greater ignorance, not previously known.

Finding our destiny
I believe everyone is going to get one day what we really believe we are going to get.
When we find out what that really is, there is an actual undebatable question whether or not we will be happy with our understanding of it.

Born Again, Into What?
I am more and more completely convinced we are all going to get what "we believe." And again, I also believe the atheist view is not comfortable believing in "someone" else.If one believes in Jesus, for instance, one has to believe in the Spiritual Existence of God. Then the more we believe in that existence, spiritually, then that is why we would naturally be deeply grateful.
Worshipful even.
