Today hasn’t been bad. I got out of bed at around 9:30 in the morning. I did my daily devotional and read for an hour. I was, as usual, ready to hit the PS4 but I opted to read. I did play a little for about fifteen minutes. Next I went to the store to exchange two flavors of sorbet, but the booth lady got it wrong. Rather than correct her, I just accepted it and walked. lol. I don’t like it when customers get upset even when they are right.

If we put bits into horse’s mouths to control them, we guide their whole bodies as well. See the ships. They are very large and driven by strong winds, yet they are guided by a small rudder wherever the pilot’s will directs. So the tongue is a small member, but it boasts great things. See how a forest is set ablaze by a small fire! The tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members staining the whole body. It sets on fire the whole course of life and set on fire by Hell. Every beast and bird and reptile and sea creature can be tamed and has been tamed by man. But no human being can tame the tongue. It is full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father and with we curse people made in the likeness of God.

I may have missed a word or two. lol.

Though they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption. By whom a person is overcome by which he is also brought into bondage. After having escaped the pollutions of this world by the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, being entangled again in them, the latter end is worse than the beginning. For it would have been better not to know the way of righteousness than to have known and turn from the commandment given to them. But it has happed to them according to the true proverb: the dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

I did mean to enter the Cramp. But, I had to do yardwork. Plus I would not have had enough time to compose an entry. I will try tomorrow in the morning after I have read my book and after I have done an hour worth of yardwork.
Well, I called my buddy Joel from down the street with no answer. I got his voicemail. Hopefully, he’ll get back to me. I should have asked his wife when I saw her on my way back from the store. Stupid me.
It’s heating up now so much so that I can walk to the gym with it not being too cold. I’m just going to focus on the yard for the next few weeks and do it in the morning when it is not too hot.
Jim gets off at 8:30 tonight. I saw him at the store. He is a working machine. lol. I couldn’t do it.
I need money-now. WA isn’t working out so well. I need time to write and read. I’ll sart by reading and writing in the morning than WA stuff later on. I hope that plan works.
Well, that’s it for me, goodbye.

I got up earlier than normal at about 8:40. Jim was supposed to go to work at 8:45 but he was feeling well so he called in. He has his back nerve blockage procedure tomorrow at noon. I thought he was getting knee surgery. lol.
I failed to hit the gym this morning. I wanted to do it at 7 A.M. but oh, well. I’ll try tomorrow. Our little dog Nimue had a rough day yesterday that ran into the night. She was throwing up a lot. She seems okay today though.
Bob prepared a five page study packet last night. We only got through like three pages. It was a lot of material. We had one newbie. Bon gave us a cool little “chart” that was basically a circle diagram with three outside layers and a core that was marked to represent the spirit. Moving outward, the mind was next, then the will with the emotions at the last layer. One verse was given to address each section. There was a message in bold that said, “Meditation involves all three off these steps.” And below that were two more verses.
I just read through the sheets rather than focus on memorizing a verse.
I watched The Voice with Jim and my mom. It does good to spend time with them a little. lol.
A new patch for blue haired Goku on DBFZ came out today.

Though they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption. By a person is overcome and is brought into bondage.

The dog returns to its own vomit and the sow having washed to wallowing in the mire.
I may have gotten a few words wrong in that one. lol.

It rained today. It was short but a pretty good downpour.
Well that’s it for now. Goodnight.

Today hasn’t been bad. I got up at about 10:30 and had coffee then did my devotional. I finished the last chapter of Nehemiah and read the first chapter in Esther.
At the moment, my mom is visiting our neighbor Denise while her husband Joe is gone. I’m pretty sure my mom will witness to her. She has a little bit of a swearing problem. lol. My mom is walking in the Spirit in this act. Praise God for that! I myself need to witness to my buddy Joel down the street. I want to invite his whole family to church with me. I’ll call him tomorrow. That will give him a good heads up early enough. I hope he agrees. It would be even cooler if he was saved and his family!

If we put bits in horse’s mouths to control them, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships. They are very large and driven by strong winds, yet they are guided by a small rudder wherever the pilot’s will directs. So the tongue is a small member, but it boasts great things. Look how a forest is set ablaze by a small fire! The tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. It is set among our members, staining the whole body and sets the whole course of life and is set on fire by hell.

I pretty much got that one down. lol.
I’ve always struggled with feelings of rejection. The thing is I am not sure I I really am or not. I get along well with everyone at church when I’m there. But outside of church, there is no relationship. No one hangs out with me. Then again, I’ve never asked. I’m caught in a straight. I fear rejection.
I hit the PS4 for a brief time. I was getting my butt kicked. lol. So I quit.
I still need to get acquainted with art and all its facets. I still need to read that art book I got in the mail. I need to spend time in WA everyday as well as write.
Well, that’s it for me. Goodbye.

Well, my mom and I went to the doc’s office. We got a new prescription and a copy of the blood work. My nurse practitioner called in the pharmacy to confirm my bloodwork and my script. To add to that, a new protocol has just been instituted last month for clozapine recipients. I forget exactly what it was, but Brenda, my practitioner, already did that process. Something with the handling for that drug went awry along the line. But, all is well that ends well. lol. I got my two week dose. Monday my mom will take me to get my blood drawn again.
So I am reading that art book that came in the mail. I need to spend time in the trenches as WA says to do. One thing the book points out is that you need to saturate yourself in art with real paintings in the flesh so to speak. I may buy some cheap art if I can as well as more refined art.
I feel sluggish. I’m going to take a short nap.

Today, I have done something I haven’t in quite some time; I went to gym! It was a light workout – a forty-five minute cardio and forty reps total on the ab machine. I saw a staff member I haven’t seen in forever. We did my trademark fist bump. lol.
My mom had her colonoscopy today. It came back with no issues. The mystery of her stomach pain remains unsolved. I have no idea what they will do next. It’s just weird.
I had my quiet time.


If we put bits into horse’s mouths to control them, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships. Though they are very large and driven by strong winds, they are guided by a small rudder wherever the pilot’s will directs. So the tongue is a small member but is boasts great things. See how great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire! The tongue is a fire, world of unrighteousness. It is set among our members, and stains the whole body. It sets on fire the whole course of life, it is set by Hell.

I got more this time than last time. lol.


The Christian editing company never got back to me. I called them today and found out why. The editing price quote form I filled out had a question about my present funds was “Raising funds.” They will only give me a quote if I have up-front money. I told the female representative and I told her I have $1k saved. There are two top tiered content editors that charge seven cents per word or so. With my story at about 57k words long, it would cost roughly $4k. I need to get a job. Or really get into WA. I will start reading that art book I ordered.
My mom and Jim are watching The Voice. I don’t care for that show as I’ve stated before. lol. I watch it just to spend time with them.
Chad called me earlier when my ringer was off. I’ll call him after this. He’s all hung up on his new metal shelf he got for his statues. Apparently, he had problems with setting it up.
My nurse practitioner got my message after she left at the end of her shift. A front end staff member called me. She gets in at 9 A.M. which is when my doc’s office accepts walk-ins. God always comes through for me.
Wel, that’s it for now. Goodbye.

Ah, today has been good. I got up at 10 A.M. I had my quiet time and then I hit the PS4 for about fifteen to twenty minutes. I was getting my butt kicked a so I quit. lol.

Though they are very large and are driven by strong winds yet it is guided by a small rudder wherever the pilot's will directs. The tongue is a small member, but it boasts great things. See how a forest is set ablaze by a small fire! The tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is a member set among us and stains the whole body. The course of life is set on fire, and is set by fire on Hell.

That is where I am at the moment. The last sentence is wrong for sure. lol.

My mom is at the doc’s office. She’ll be getting a procedure done tomorrow. I think it is a colonoscopy. she is still having bad stomach pains. I pray and hope they find the cause and fix it.

I called up my pharmacy. The present scrip is the wrong dosage; it’s too much medicine. It was for an entire month. It is supposed to be two weeks at a time. They had a whole month in their records. Also, the pharmacy tech was new that I talked to on the phone. I’m not worried; It’s in God’s hands.
I tied for the win on the Writer’s Cramp. I think there were five entries including me. The person I tied with gave a poem. It was short and sweet. As is frequent, Bobturn entered along with me. He always enters the Cramp. lol.
Jim went to his therapy this morning. It was brief. He did a light workout afterwards. He kind of got on my back about going to the gym. He’s right though. I’ll try tomorrow at like 7 A.M. It’s getting hotter. I used to get up at 4 A.M. to go to the gym. I hope to get in that regimen again once it really heats up. lol.

It’s about 12:40 now and my mom is not back yet. I wonder what is up.
I’m nervous about getting my molars taken out. I’ll being put under for it. It will be a load off when I don’t have to worry about reaching back there. My lower left molar is beginning to decay just a bit.
Well, that’s it for now. Goodbye.

I have planned a birthday gathering with a handful of people. It’s still over a month away but I am just seeing who is coming. I’ve got three guys in so far. I’m not sure exactly what I’ll be doing. I do want to eat out at BJ’s. My one friend Jared suggested going to an arcade. That sounds like a good idea. There is the matter of cost of course. It could get expensive. lol. I want for Chad and Michael to come as well. I’ll see if they can get off for the 6th of June, the date of my b-day. I think I will forego the PS4 for today. My mom has the big TV so I can’t play if I wanted to. lol.
Netflix was not working so my mom called support. We reset the app to factory default and that did it.
My mom is doing taxes now. She was going at it outside with the lap top in the shade. She has a bit more to go. Jim was late to work by about ten minutes. He thought he went in at 2:30 but it was 2 instead. lol. He’ll be fine though.
I just prepared some banana nut bread with my mom. We put in two loaves a few minutes ago. I tasted some of the batter. I miss that flavor. lol. It’s something I haven’t had in a while. Best of all, it’s homemade. Mmm.
My mom is watching Once Upon a Time. I don’t watch too much TV but that is a good one. I did plan to do a Cramp entry but I may watch the show with my mom.

If we put bits in horse’s mouth to control them, we guide their whole bodies as well. See the ships. Though are very large and driven by strong winds, yet they are guided by a small rudder where ever the pilot’s will directs. Even so, the tongue is a small member but it boasts great things. See how forest is set ablaze by a small fire! The tongue is a world of unrighteousness.

I may have skipped a line. But for some reason, these verses are coming easily.
Today was communion. Pastor Chuck was teaching the sermon. It was out of a selection verses out of Luke where he skipped around a little.
So Electio never got back to me. Uhg. I wish they would tell me up front if I was rejected. Instead of they leave me wondering. My next move is to give my story to a content editor. I’ll have to see who has a reasonable price. But I do know you get what you pay for though. My book is relatively short- only about 60k words long. So the price will not be too steep. I’ll check it out for myself.
Well, that’s it for me. Goodbye.

Aye, aye, aye! Electio did not get back to me at all. I wish they could just tell me upfront I was rejected. Rather, they leave you guessing forever. I looked at another publisher called Christian Faith online. I gave my name, address and phone number to get a free kit by mail that will explain all the info that should ebb on the site itself. I’ll see how it is. If it’s anything like Westbow, I may decline. It appears to be another self-publishing company. If they do not charge money, I may submit. There is this new Christian sci-fi and fantasy publisher called Enclave. Unfortunately, they only accept pieces that are 75k word long at least. Mine is about 60K. I do have an idea for another bool that I will call The Seventh Realm. But I only have a vague idea of what I want to make it like. It will, as the title infers, be about different dimensions, time travel and more. It will be like The Gate of Vessels, but more in-depth and more philosophical. It will not be so undertone though. I will mention Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit angels and such. Oh, I have goosebumps just thinking about it! It will definitely be longer in that regard.

See how we put bits in horse’s mouths to control them. And we guide their whole bodies. See the ships. They are very large and driven by strong winds, yet they are guided by a small rudder in the direction where the pilot directs. So the tongue is a small member but it boasts great things. See how great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire!

That’s all I have down as of today. lol.

Jim si working a hefty shift hours at Albertson’s. It will be Wednesday to Sunday, six hours a day. He will have two full days off though. At least there is some good thing about it.
On another note, May is coming soon and that means a Denver vacation for my mom and Jim. It will be for a week. Jim will take his two week vacation for the one week in Denver. I’ll have our dog Nimue to keep me company. lol. I’ll be able to play my PS4 at any time of day or night. lol. I won’t turn into Chad though. He goes to bed at like 5 A.M. on his days off.
Someone invited me to a voice chat party yesterday. I don’t have a mike though. lol. I do plan to get one though. I got a new friend request today after I messaged a dude about yesterday in the afternoon I think. I had messaged this guy at that time. I’ll try get him to do a ring match with me and my other friend. It’s going to be cool.
I’ve been away from WA for about two weeks. I’m enjoying it. lol. I’m with my passion again – reading and writing. I read for an hour and a half today on the second book of the trilogy of Song of Albion. Stephen Lawhead knows how to tell a story. I’m surprised he is not that well known. I did read he is a “recluse” and doesn’t seek the spotlight.
Well, that is it for now Goodbye.

Today has been good. I got up at about 9 A.M.I had my quiet time and some coffee. When I was done, I hit the PS4 for a while. I have one PS friend that I have played in a closed match with in DBFZ. I play generally in the morning so I will need to get some friends that play at that time. My one friend basically plays in the afternoons.
I finished The Paradise War. It took a little over an hour I think. The protagonist, having made it back to the manifest world, his home, he realizes he is needed in the realm of Albion to thwart the ill will of a former friend who also is from the manifest world. Lewis, the protagonist, has gone through a great alteration after being filled with the Song of Albion. His former friend, Simon, had taken part in a plot to kill the king of a province of Albion. Lewis must now keep the realm from corruption of the malicious Simon. And so, the tale goes on.

We put bits in horse’s mouths to control them. We guide their whole bodies.

That is the beginning of the few verses of scripture I am trying to memorize. It speaks of the foulness of the human tongue. It cannot be tamed or controlled. It is filled with deadly poison. We humans bless God and curse man with that same tongue.

Chad goes to work from 4 to 11:30 tonight. He only works two days next week. He recently got a metal shelf to display his statues. It was like 60 bucks. He just wastes his money like that. Given, that is not my hobby, but still.
I chose to forgo church last night. My mom ordered pizzas and we watched this fantasy series. It has gnomes and elves and trolls and such. It actually takes place in a post-apocalyptic world after the modern age of skyscrapers and machines. How it got that way?- is a mystery. It’s pretty good.
Jim just got home. He was exercising lightly at a different location of 24 Hour Fitness. He got a package that might be more medicine. It’s done wonders for his knee pain.
I got a lot of replies from my post from two days ago on the HUB of the Fantasy and Science Fiction Society – the group I’m in. I let everyone know my win in the Writer’s Cramp that I won against eight other entrees.
I haven’t heard from Electio Publishing. I think it’s been three days but I could be wrong. It would be cool if it was a publishing email. lol. I know my story will make it. All good writers go through rejections at first. Maybe Dove Publishing will accept it once it is copy edited. But again, it could be pricy. My book is relatively small. It’s only about 60k words long. I just wish Electio will just tell me if it is rejected or not. I hate wondering.
Well, that is it for now. Goodbye.
