don't click or read this...
(…I added this after I started feeling better. Called a fixed image background. Cool, huh? Gives my blog some spice) Alright that’s my disclaimer. I think of South Park, and how the intro screen for years is that celebrity voices are impersonated poorly, and this show should not be seen or viewed by anyone. I’m kinda doing the same thing: this blog post shouldn’t be read or viewed or clicked…

Odd week
My schedule has been conundrummed this week as some might say (you know, scholars and stuff). Different, off, weird, “interesting,” variable, unexpected. My recovery group I go to was canceled, church wasn’t in person, just on livestream, Monday we didn’t work, Tuesday was a half day (went in the morning), and Wednesday was a half day (went in the afternoon). As we speak, some icicles are…

"Don't look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas...
First off, see why I like the MSG version sometimes? My Study Bible that me and my wife read from daily (even if it’s just Proverbs) is NIV. My wife’s Bible which recently has been getting a lot of use (good job my sweet mishka bear 🙂 is NLT. The Bible we use at Salem Alliance is the NLT (I’m 90% sure, please correct me if I’m wrong). And as my wife and I fall asleep at night, we listen to the…

"Run away from childish indulgence. Run after mature righteousness - faith, hope, peace.
I need to be careful as I sometimes go on rants threatening to rip politicians a new one because they all suck. They don’t all suck. And I don’t mean to be mean. Anger is a secondary emotion. So why am I upset? Hmm. I think it’s because I’ve learned how to become an adult and take responsibility for my life and my actions and to grow up. And I guess I just expect that from other people my age…

Why just "believing in God" isn't enough.
I’ve mentioned this before in a previous post, but simply put- everyone believes in God. Some don’t, but this article is for those who do. I’m sure Trump does, I’m sure Biden does, I’m sure a lot of people do. And that’s great. I knew someone in prison who believed in God. He was in for arson and a double murder and is serving life without parole plus 25 years, but he believes in God. He also has…

Why Pray?
The importance of prayer. Why pray? I think praying is basically our main landline to Jesus Christ. If someone is a believer and say they don’t often pray, my first thought (I try not to ask this so bluntly…I’d put more compassion into my question 🙂 ), but I wonder “How do you talk or communicate with God then?” Everyone says theft pray. No one wants to feel bad by saying no to that answer.…

"Weather you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice..."
“…behind you saying ‘This is the way: walk in it.” – Isaiah 30:21 (NIV). Solid verse, huh? I know 🙂 I picked this verse today because I saw it in my morning devotional. I like the book Isaiah, I like the name Isaiah, and especially as we get closer to celebrating Jesus’ Birthday and we have many references to Isaiah in Gospels of both Matthew & Luke, I find it fitting to promote this…

"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another."
I’m finding really thing I only know a lot about (enough to write about), is my relationship and my walk with Jesus Christ. So that’s what this blog will be about for the time being. Hooray! Finally an idea I can bust out enough content with. First line of thought, I’ve found there’s a difference between believing in God, and being a follower of Jesus Christ. What is it: you ask? Everyone…

New Illustrations
For all those artists out there; to inspire creativity
A quick post showcasing some of my arty I scanned in. The first one is acrylic paint with charcoal pencil. I think I was using the browns on another project, and had this black mountain already painted, so just dabbed-and-dotted. I really should’ve clean up around the edges after I scanned it, and before I uploaded it. But that’s an issue I have that if I start doing really complicated things and…

Been a 1+ year I've logged onto my own site...wow
First time writing a blog post on my own site in 1+ years
That’s kind of like…sad, right? Well I was on Shopify trying to do a store thing for a bit. But you know what? $40 a month is kinda spendy. Especially if you’re not MAKING much sales aka have a full time job you love, and haven’t painted as much since I’ve been out of school. Plus, to be fair, even paying Amazon the $15 or whatever a month I sit on sometimes, questioning whether to get rid of it,…
