GODSPEED!

  John. 3:16

  Spiritual Seekers:

  There are those that will plaster their tiresome quotes from philosophers, writers, poets, pseudo celebrity's, etc. With one goal in mind: have us believe that God is dead. And to such an audience, God is not dead. Perhaps your idea of God is. Please hold off on the crucifixion, we all know how that story ends.

  I may not be refined, neat, dignified, or distinguished, but to me I see religion as nothing but rules. A good fulcrum as far as rules are concerned is: follow them unless you don't agree with them. Today, the churches are full of people that require help, but have few that can offer it. I believe in Christianity, not 'Churchianity' (politics, propaganda, hierarchy). In other words, forget the stone-throwers that live in glass houses. Before you draw a snap judgment, snap judgment drawers; I am not a hypocrite. I am far from perfect as well. I am not immune to sin. I am simply expressing my ideas and am not alone with such thoughts regarding such traditions or conventional methodology. I do understand that I can't expect others to have it figured out when I don't. I'm just working on myself and sharing my thoughts. I guess I'm trying to learn how to breathe.

  I don't see different races; I see different faces. I don't have an image of my God. He is far more than I can fathom! I have a lot to give, but more to learn. I try to stay focused, but always find myself distracted. The paradox of this life I compare to a dream. Some wake up, some don't. Understand: I know exactly how crazy I must look to some. But in all truthfulness, what isn't?

  Speaking of crazy, I've always wanted to chase down a rainbow - to find the end. The gold and leprechaun have never been my motivation. Where was I? It's heavy, give me a minute . . . Gold! Okay, so thirty-five percent of revenue I am allocating for random acts of kindness. These are not words being written. This is why I have been given this idea in the first place. You see megalomaniacs, rather than the mistaken view of this life. I would rather have peace of mind than power from money. I want the ecstasy of helping others less fortunate than me. Good people need a break every now and then. As a race, we are unaccustomed to the humanity of charity; brutality is a far more universal language.

  Personally, I have dismissed certain objects of desire, the taboo of reality. I don't want or need much of anything. The shuffle of life has its appeal. The substance or material of this life has its appeal. Which leads one to wonder, do you own your possessions, or do they own you? Coming full circle, a smile from a person one has helped is gargantuan. One cannot buy a smile; you have to earn a smile! This has been real. This has been real fun. Before I go, the first completed version of this novel was 66,633 words, 666 33. Okay, this was kind of crazy-insane for me. Basically, it was just another sign for me to fulfill my purpose. I am free, but not ignorant enough to take credit. (Not to mention the writing process experiences.) 666 is the number associated with the antichrist. 33 is the number associated with the age of Christ when he died (along with a few other implications). One more word, one less word, this extraordinary, highly improbable, extremely unlikely coincidence would hold no relevance or be of any importance. But yeah, the premise of my novel: light versus dark. 33 light! 666 dark!

  In today's toxic culture, the huge Sargasso Sea of stagnated logic, the worldview. Where youth is valued more than wisdom, it is my prayer that an intervention takes place: visions, encounters, dreams, voices, etc. Perhaps it has already begun? Lets change the world together! Your humble friend, until again . . .
