    I wanted to give a heartfelt post about myself for the reason that I feel like I do not get to often speak with anybody who actually has the true account of personal history and "accomplishments" (if you will), and my track record anywhere. It's really sad, but it probably is the case that we are in a cultural climate where people do not really seek to understand anything all that well with each other, and many may judge by mere appearances. From others not really understanding who I was and what I did before, I find that no one ever really actually talks to me in a way that's understanding of that. In this case, people seem afraid (for no reason) of what is actually both true and good, and all of it does no one any good.     Take for example, this picture of some of my friends and some family from my high school graduation party in 1996. This should give my readers a genuine feel for how people were with each other back then. It has the feeling of being very fr...

   Since I don't have "legalism" as I explained in the previous post on the blog, it begs the idea that I could perhaps write a whole adventure novel with embedded Christian symbolism. The novel could be a coming-of-age story with colorful characters and an "Indiana Jones style" rock 'em sock 'em quest for a sacred relic. Guess what? I have already written such a novel. It is called Playing Saint Ditch and it is available on Amazon in paperback and kindle. The embedded symbolism in the novel has much to do with God's promises of provision, protection, security, and deliverance. I try to not be my own higher critic, so I will leave it at that. It suffices to say that the 2014 version is greatly "cleaned up" from the original which was written in the 90's. I acknowledge that it has some crass language and so some have not liked it for that reason. People who don't like kind of thing don't have to read it.    I could have made it ...

    Many of you probably noticed that I have referred to secular songs multiple times in my posts. The reason why I can be a professing Christian and listen to and/or refer to secular songs is because I do not have the heresy of legalism. Others who adhere to legalism have been trying to say (wrongfully so) that believers in Christ are not ever allowed to listen to any “secular music.” That would be incorrect as speaking too simply and drawing a hard and fast boundary line for everyone where no hard and fast boundary exists.    If you want to know what legalism is, I am providing a few links here to explain it-  https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-Christian-legalism.html     https://carm.org/what-is-legalism   Legalism (when it occurs in the church) is basically (typically) the erroneous belief system which states that a person’s salvation depends on the continual adherence to rules of conduct and behavior (either to attain or mainta...
