Once Exiisted Exists Forever

The Invisible Man

The headline on the previous entry I first saw on a headstone in New Hampshire, I think it was, for Claude Rains. He was an English actor in the Golden Era of stars like Clark Gable and Bette Davis, who said she admired him as an actor. He was the invisible man in that now culture film. Claude Rains

Everything.....

Once Existing, Exists Forever 

I believe my life is only a beginning. It has all the ear marks of a prenatal state. I do not mean I am stuck in endless reincarnations increasingly burdened by hellish repetitions. 

I was born into a body that increases and then decreases like a flower or a mist. Hell in my view is to never exist any further and to know it, forever. 

To continue the only way is I must be born again as Jesus taught. This is into or out of the seen changing world into the unseen eternity, the spiritual. 

And then I have expectations of amazing and wonderful things God has prepared for me beyond anything I could ever ask or think. 

Waiting on the Lord

Persistence Never Gives Up

I am thanking Jesus most of the time and some what less often it is for healing me. As things are, leaning on the arm of flesh has given me more trouble than I like to say.

But I should persist praying for relief more, remembering Jesus said if, as I take it, if I am not healed it is because I do not persist in prayer or, I ask not so I receive not.

Faith like a child

I never consider when or if Jesus is going to answer me. There is no when in eternity anyway. I mustf go by faith not by feelings, which I believe is the direction Jesus is guiding me, even turning set backs into leap forwards. This is my hope and I thanking Him daily in every tiny event no matter what. I sense a vulnerable defenselessness when I have not.   

Praise & Gratitude

Thanking Jesus for Suffering

When I am suffering, as I do 24/7, or afraid, about to be tested to see if my cancer is doing anything, I praise Jesus and thank Him twenty-four seven.

I thank Him daily and constantly, knowing His suffering was unspeakably greater than mine. And not only that, His was voluntary and onto death three days and nights.....for me. 

I recall reading Paul when he wrote he lived with his thorn in the flesh knowing it would be such a short time he would experience it, compared being healed and rejoicing in eternity.

Time runs out

Book with a Singular View

Being too busy is a distraction from reading the sayings of Jesus. I know. I had been reading a book containing only His words until yesterday. Busy time is lost time in the end.

On Being with Jesus

Safe & Sound

I picture myself in heaven, I am sitting just slightly behind Jesus on His left side, listening. I am not saying anything. What would I say to Jesus? He knows everything both now and what is to become.

I am only comforted to be safe where He is, thanking Him in my prayers for everything I know, both it good and bad, including whatever may be reassuring or threatening.

I feel like my little pup dorg Butter, a pug by trade.

On God & Comedy

Nonsense & Idle Words

I love to laugh and make fun of the human condition in all its' pretense, my own and friends. I've analyzed the anatomy of nonsense which is some serious stupidity right there. Jesus says to let our words be yes and no. I have not yet figured the full meaning of those words, nor the practical usage of them.

So why do we call Him Jesus? Even more serious and more clear to me, are idle words spoken in vain. Exclamations like Jimmeniny Crickets! are suspect. Not only suspect but they trivialize a serious outlook on life that mocks the Eternal and the Holy. 

On Getting Ahead from Behind

Crucifying the Body

In Favor of the Spirit

 Since my body will not help me, according to Jesus, but will crucify me as I get older, the signals are in gear for me to have faith and no ought against any.

I am getting lingering signals the long term it is to my benefit if I do not drain my time and energy annoying myself not trusting Jesus to for everything, the good the bad and the ugly.

To pick up my cross and follow Jesus is becoming increasingly clearer than I ever conceived previously. In a changing world I am changing for my unseen eternal benefit.

As with everything in the seen, it is the same with time. All I can do with it in the end is to measure it.

On Why I Will Die

The Unseen is very Deep

I can sense it, there is a reason I will die, beyond the accepted prediction drawing me short of a total eagerness for eternity. 

This because the anticipation, simply put, has an end times unpleasantness. Times that themselves, it could be said, are passing away. Maybe I will be glad of that anyway, because so many in it do not wish each other well. 

It spoils the view for strolling at sunset.

On Chances

Time Slipping Into Eternity

It seems to me that I my banana peel, after all this time, were to increase during the first fifty years and decline the next thereafter. 

I racked up my body out of the gate and now my body seems like wanting to rack me up entering the home stretch. 

I just want younger folks to know what they have to look forward to. "Time is going to enter the picture in the end." Robert Morley in Beat the Devil. Next: Crucifying the flesh? 

I Am What I am

What I Speak is What I Get

A tree is known by its' fruit. And it is I found, as I repeatedly forget, the same with myself. So now I refuse to be offended because I not only do not want to be an offensive person, but I try to take watch over my tongue, so I do not create any unpleasant unwanted fruit of myself.

Taste buds change inside time

Success & Happiness

Front End Loading

 To my knowledge Ingrid Bergman gets the most frequent credit for this double quote.

Success 

is getting what you want. 

Happiness 

is wanting what you get.

Like reincarnation. Seems exciting going in but gradually the taste buds turn on the tum tum like in overdosing chocolate.
