Summary: I posted a meme on Facebook yesterday that basically said I support President Trump, Guns, Pro Life, Pro Police, there are only two genders, etc. Basically the opposite of the Marxist agenda to destroy America. A friend of mine saw my post and questioned how I could support someone so “divisive”. He brings division to […]
Spirituality
Sky Kitten and the World of Tommorow, with a bit on the Purpose and Format of this Blog
Occasionally from time to time you will have the opportunity to hear my opinionated stances on things, though I most often try to stay relatively neutral. For instance, I love the band Metallica’s earlier thrash metal work, but can’t stand St. Anger. I love most types of pizza, but can’t stand barbeque pizza. And I […]
Burn This Place to the Ground: The Spiritual Meaning of Fire in 2020
On New Years Eve 2019 (a week ago) we did a 12-month reading and I heard the Def Leppard lyric to the song “Rock of Ages” off the Pyromania album: “Rise up gather round // Rock this place to the ground // Burning up let’s go for broke // Watch the night go up in […]
A Darkness Fell … Could it Be Mercury?
Yesterday I really fine for most of the day. When I kissed my wife goodbye I had no clue anything was going go amiss. Little did I know. The first sign something was wrong was when I began experiencing gastrointestinal distress (though that was nothing new) around 1 PM. My next clue when when I […]
Design Journal: Designing a new logo for St. Elizabeth Missionary Baptist Church (SEMBC)
Last night I began teaching myself InkScape (again). This is the best and most well-known free and open-source alternative to Adobe Illustrator. I’ve tried to learn InkScape before, but the tutorials never seem to work, or are incomplete — not step by step for an absolute newbie — and often don’t include the very fundamental […]
Bishop Michael Curry on Loving Radically and Reclaiming Jesus (NPR)
As we wait the final midterm election results today, let us reflect on Jesus’ message of not condemning your neighbors — not even the ones you intensely dislike or hate — but instead, loving them, caring for them if it is in your power, and most of all, praying for their wellness and that Holy Spirit will guide their decisions with Love.
Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry talks about all this and more and how we can heal the Church and the World with the Power of Love (and his book of the same name) and Reclaiming Jesus on this A1 podcast from Troy Public Radio.
How I Healed My Body With Prayer
I was chatting with a good friend of mine from Oregon today when I learned she had been experiencing pain due to chronic illness. She was having back issues and said she is now walking with a cane. This is friend is very spiritual herself and knows the power of prayer. Yet, she has not […]
Parable: Woman Who Sought Truth and God’s Message of Love
One day a truth seeker found herself in a very stressful situation. Having over-analyzed all the world religions and philosophies searching for what is real in a sea of myth and fairy tales, she eventually came the the conclusion that all of it was hogwash. Yet she felt that there must be a god out […]
