Dear Diary 261106
is the hand of Jehovah too short?
Finally! The dam bursts and a billable day appears!!
What a joy to have a busy mind, challenged.
I wonder why my client hired K instead of this link-head. I keep going back to Holy Spirit and its presence or absence in my life.
It’s a weird equation, most people wouldn’t understand, or who would think is complete baloney.
But the truth is, my life and livelihood has been dependent on God’s support my entire adult life. Well, my entire life. Period.
Four years ago, that began to shift. A mistake led to a series of decisions that closed the door on the blessings of built my life on.
What’s weird, is that I was aware of this, but unable to change anything. My wife says, people are stupid and inevitably conspire to stupid things. God, I wish I could counter that with reason.
She drives me nuts, but she’s right.
And I guess I love that about her: that she can name truths with the innocence of a child. The very quality that often creates frustration in me also breeds deep appreciation.
The human experience is a dichotomy.
I appreciate that she understands the importance of being present and believing in me. I thought she me abandoned it altogether. Or never understood it. But, we’re just different that way.
I think we both want the same thing, but the exact path of arrival is where we don’t quite sync.
She did a good job of reminding me last night that we would have fun. And she was right. We did. It was virtually a disaster, we only made $30 and spent a week getting ready for it. The cold front that blew in made it almost untenable… 55f isn’t bad until you have to sit in a chair and type poetry for 4 hours.
The beer helped too. Maybe a little too much.
The big win last night was that we got on the books for our Dec 7 workshop on writing and drawing. For the third class, I’ll start expanding on what has come before and hopefully get a broader community involved.
It feels weird when ppl in the congregation are the only invitees.
With a little elbow grease and some luck, I might be able to get a grant from the art alliance for actual advertising. Maybe even a spot on the 5p news.
Back to the Future is on while I doodle in 73. 55 pages to go! This volume is titled ‘Darkest Before Dawn’.
God, I hope dawn comes. I’ve had enough of night.
Idaho beckons.
living in the last of the last days. Earthshaking events will soon occur. Jehovah will put into the hearts of the nations “his thought” —that they give “their kingdom to the wild beast,” the United Nations. Then that greatly empowered beast, along with the full cooperation of all political powers, will remove the world’s false religious organizations once and for all. That event will mark the start of the great tribulation. Then what?
Further climactic events will follow. The nations of this world will launch a coordinated, all-out attack on Jehovah’s people. Why? The book Pure Worship of Jehovah —Restored At Last! explains: “Egged on by Satan, the nations will try to efface true worshippers —and along with them pure worship— from the earth.” What will follow this will be the most momentous event of all —the war of Armageddon. Jesus will lead his heavenly executional forces, including his 144,000 corulers, in removing this wicked world and in delivering us into a righteous new world.
