Crystalizing the Seen & the Unseen
On of my favorite verses is in 2nd Corinthians when Paul, who was the most unlikely of candidates God could ever chose for us to remember, who wrote so much in the Bible.

| Jesus is the Light of the World |
He said the suffering he was going thru was light affliction up against the eternity in the spirit. I really like that the way he puts it. He again dramatizes it here as the seen and the unseen. It makes the spirit really stand out for me like crystal.
Beginnings Better Than Endings
If any young person ever has to go to a hospital in an ambulance I certainly hope they are quite well and very healthy. I just want them to know what they have to look forward to.
No Longer Under the Law
"The law was given thru Moses but grace and truth thru Jesus Christ."
Happiness is wanting what I get
The central core of my belief is that I will get what I believe now in my next, ahead of time. Rather more precisely the future of where I am heading, ahead of time eventually. This world is time, which can only be conceived in a comparative state.
If I am successful in getting what I want, there is no garontee I will be happy with what I get.
Just as every object is hung on nothing in space, those with lesser mass orbiting those with greater charismatic mass.
All this is power continually charged or gathered by unseen forces evolving from the similar electro-magnetic soup we are aware of now. So far no one fully understands it, other than somewhat how it works, like gravity or elementary electricity observed.
We, generally we, are working toward this now, but we only can conceive it all now as original sin. which is to be like God. The danger for us is to want to be like God or those opposed, being by some, who want to be God.
All this is what I believe for myself, that is all I am wanting is objectifying, to increase my belief. Belief that is, belief in what I believe.
Unfortunately however for my paradigm to be God requires destructive forces to get there, while to be like God requires the one already existing, a creative force which is love. One is creating our own increasing knowledge, increasing by changing, and the other is true.
All this is way I see it. It is what I believe and I speak for my own personal benefit, the same as everyone else does. Those who appear to be wanting to convince others are in my opinion really trying to convince themselves.

Storm in a Tea Cup
Invictus is a great stand out poem written by a successful writer who lived an incredibly difficult short life. While the poem itself is in no way atheistic the author was a hearsay atheist which has set not a few Christians aflame.
Thereby they forget the commandment of Jesus to love everyone, particularly their enemies. ( There is a reason for this I might save for later.) Instead many Christians mock the poem, point out that the writer was a poet who wrote only one poem.
I understand that Clint Eastwood made a successful film about it which was favorably inspired by Nelson Mandela.
There are Christian pulpit talkers who point out their doctrinaire disagreements, suggesting the many followers of Jesus who deserted Him because He said no one could come to God unless God draws them.
Also Paul was told that God's grace was sufficient for him. Paul responded by saying that this life's momentary suffering was of little account compared to the wonders of eternal heaven.
Many early martyred Christians chose suffering in order to get a better reward in heaven.
Logically Christians, in my view, take the poem Invictus out of context, creating a different content in the process. Mostly a storm in a teacup resulting no love for one's enemies.
I once wrote Christians should not be drawn into any argument when the world was created since we are not of this world, we are of heaven. There is no time in eternity. It is all present tense. It was all a debate conceived by the devil to spin Christian's wheels.
If anyone insists in believing in Jesus despite the devil's efforts he will settle for weakening Jesus power if he can. I am staying with Jesus. But maybe I better should take my own advise and no more chewing of disagreements.
God does not accept any proof, since proof eliminates any need for belief, the only power that pleases God is belief.
Gratitude is Love
Whenever I want to praise God to lift myself up, my seek is often in Psalms, favoring ones in the nineties.
When I said recently I would like to be wherever Jesus was, like a His little pup dog. I was somewhat reticent, wondering about the propriety of my remark. But I was unaware at the time of the Psalmist who wrote that he was like a flourishing olive tree in the house of the Lord. Perhaps I am somewhat of a stiff neck. Click to today's Manna
Playing Let's Pretend Pastor
I have found I do not explain what I believe in the word of conversation equal to the same as the printed word. Whereas in the printed word I can objectify my thoughts, I cannot be as clear in conversation.
This is why I favor small groups talking together more so than in large groups all facing one speaker as every one else are rigid in silence. It all resembles the duplication of a sermon in formal worship services.
I think it promotes silent subjection among participants never to become comfortable objectively explaining themselves by witnessing to others.
Only Way to Please God
I am taking it straight to the word diligently lel righit lel! like a drill sergeant marching my platoon into the dark of the early morning.
My life has not been particularly diligent so far. Time has run over me like a wave of water wasting me away. Time has fooled me, lulled and measured me for a exspiring box, all when I wasn't loooking.
Speaking for time itself, that is all time is, is a measurement. A measurement between two positions in an orbit between me and a more charismatic entity.
It is not enough for me to seek God if I am not.....diligent!
and Evidence of All Things Unseen
Altho the the definition of epiphany is a sudden revelation perhaps I am not exactly correct in my terms because in my case I could not to make head nor tail of what unexpectedly came to me.
I was coming home from summer Bible school and the exact scene is still fixed in my memory. Suddenly without warning the clear as crystal words came into my mind. "God is existence".
I had no idea of what it meant and further no curiousity to figure it out either. I did not know it was in Exodus as I am that I am.
The word epiphany however has its origin within the experience of the Wise Men following the star to the incarnation of Jesus as the Son of God, with the power to establish others as the sons of God.
I speak exclusively for my own benefit the same as everyone else. In my case it is to significantly increase my faith. I will hopefully better evaluate my progress after the Holy Days. I am so far very expectant by changes moving within me.
