How about I write a Christian adventure novel, right?

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 a straightforward adventure genre book, but the basic ideas I was starting with during the writing process were quirky enough to have me developing the material as satire or a comic novel in the vein of Confederacy of Dunces by Toole.
Here is the link to where the book might be found: http://a.co/2E66R1Z

"Night Fever," new song of mine could have many biblical implications

Many people think of going to do something for the Lord like the preach the gospel, but will they really consider what the backlash would or could be like against them in many forms? During my years of preaching with and alongside Third Street Ministries the typical level of discomfort normally experienced was just the prodding of scoffers and mockers in the mission field. It was kept from encroaching on our personal lives for an extended time, even despite posting videos. My testimony would indicate just how cautious, circumspect, and in agreement with your fellow believers you have to be in order to avoid a problem. That is especially true if you are working at the "trenches" level of confronting the unbelieving world. In this new song "Night Fever," I just describe in vague terms one day in July 2011 when my ministry efforts with them finally got derailed more seriously. Tom of 1tmoch fame called my cellphone (or we called each othe...

A Song No One Knew Could Be About John the Baptist

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that “One More Try” by George Michael could have one interpretation as being about John the Baptist. This would indeed a highly compelling interpretation of the song. The song seems to depict a man, sung in first person narrative (I interpret as being John the Baptist), upset by his previous teacher (I interpret here as Jesus), and trying to reason with another person he wants as his lover. This third person, (the lover), for the sake of my interpretation could be Salome, or someone else. The way that the video depicts him confined in a room with stained glass windows makes me feel like it’s John singing from prison before he was beheaded. He’s saying that it’s too bad he can’t see Jesus any longer, and could she please give him one more try even though he’s behind bars. I happen to like this interpretation a lot, because it makes John the Baptist look like a rockstar. He was indeed said by Christ as bei...
