| So, I have written for four or five Cramp entries in a row! Today I am just doing a blog entry since it is so late. Lol. I won once. My hearts breaks for the LA fire. It has decimated the Pacific Palisades. I forget who said it, but I heard this could be the judgment from God on the Hollywood elites. I think it was the Grammys where they openly mocked God! So it is possible that holy retribution. Nevertheless, I pray and hope for an end to the catastrophe. I am hoping for rain over the fires. I am talking a torrential downpour to snuff out the rampant flames! All of us Christians should be on our knees praying just like we prayed for the office of President Trump. I applied for a job on Indeed and I got a return message! Strangely, this message came only in my email and the HR representative wants me to give my email to send info. So, I sent my email anyway. Lol. I hope the HR person gets back to me. But, if it is not God’s will. So be it. It is right up my alley though-a writing job! I am very eager to assume this role. Speaking of writing, I still need the church secretary/facilitator to go over my book so I can sell copies of my book at the bookstore. I’m really excited! If this works out I will, try the same thing at Fervent, another church that is affiliated with the one I just mentioned at the start. My mom will be visiting her cousin in late June. She’ll be there for a week. I don’t recall a time when they saw each other. If they have, it must have been decades ago. Gavin Newsom is hoping to be the Democratic nominee for president in 2028. The man is a vile individual! He defunded the fire department and look what happened. And so far the mayor is totally silent on the matter. In a press meeting, she had nothing to say in response. I am telling you! The far left lunatics have no borders. The most powerful left democrats are a demonically infused cult, bent on destabilizing our great country. We must weed out the bad guys and Trump and his new administration D.O.G.E will clean house! One they aim to do is cut the absurd salaries of bureaucrats. God certainly gave us mercy with Trump. It would have been 1929 all over again. Phew! Trump is going to have to deal with all garbage left over from Biden. The first executive bill will be to secure the border and send in Tom Homan, the border czar. I can’t wait! The deportation will be costly, but it will be worth it in the long run. Also, one of the top priorities is to cut taxes significantly. I am very curious about Trumps administration and what he will do. He is indeed a patriotic man, but he needs Jesus, nonetheless. In Jesus’ name, may it come to pass. Until next time. Goodbye. |
| What a good day. My friend was very late in picking me up today for church. So much that my stepdad thought he would not show. But he texted me he was outside my house at the last minute. It was very cold in the sanctuary. I was wearing a thick sweater, but I felt it on my shoulders. We began the book of Luke. I forgot the title of the message, but we went from chapter one and read from verse one through twenty-five. The first chapter is long-eighty verses. We watched a brief video clip of the Filipino ministry proceedings like a candlelight service and the salvation of many people over a period of a few weeks. The video was loud. Lol. I had to plug my ears. Mike Johnson was reelected as speaker of the house. I honestly do not know if he is a good guy. Pastor Jack Hibbs is friends with the man, so I don’t know. I’m also still wondering if Elon Musk is square. I am all in for the D.O.G.E. program. And I think he and Vivek will do lots of good for this nation. Nevertheless, I know Musk has some questionable “AI” stances. His vision of the use for Neurolink is a little shady. Theoretically, it can go far as using this device as a cranial remote controls to operate electronical appliances. Not only that but it is a precursor to ESP. This entire notion of course must be gauged by the Holy Spirit’s wisdom. It will not be the mark of the beast or anything but it is already raising red flags for many people. We will recognize the mark of the beast because it will be accompanied by the beast and his image. I have played a total of roughly five hours of gameplay on Jedi: Survivor. I Googled it and it said the game lasts for about 20 hours of gameplay or 50 hours of play for those gamers who like to explore all the hidden bells and whistles. I finished my story I began I started from the old WdC official contest. I accidently wrote for the What a Character prompt. Lol. As always, my story had a strong spiritual element to it. It still needs to be edited. This Thursday is the six-week US constitution class starting at 9:30 am. My stepdad, Jim, will be attending it. I do not think I’ll be going. Well, that’s it for now. Goodbye. |
| I can’t wait until the regular story and poem entry prompts come back in with the Writer’s Cramp. I’m itching to write a story to start priming my mind so I can make a good last part to complete my unfinished story entitled Alex and The Paraclete Order. Just how I replied in the Author’s newsletter, this story will be traditionally published book. For my debut novel I gave up after giving up having it traditionally published after being turned down by a negligible three rejections. Lol. This time I’m going all out. Once I get the Christian Writer’s Market book for the year of 2025, I will begin making simultaneous submissions. Of course, with going down this road, a big nuisance is waiting. Lol. Nevertheless, I must be patient and follow the submission guidelines. This is something that is the reason a lot of stories are rejected. I got up early today and the first thing I did was to spend time in the Word. Many theologians agree that the book of Romans is the most substantial book in the New Testament. In one of the epistles a different author states how Paul the apostle wrote some things that are hard to understand. Romans is one of them. lol. In one part he talks about faith, grace and the law. It was a little confusing. It definitely requires the Holy Spirit to comprehend. After that I fixed myself breakfast and did the dishes. Next, I listened to some worship. At about 10 am I hit the PS4. I am making progress in Jedi: Survivor! One feature that is unique and helpful is how the game records how long you have played. If I recall accurately from this morning, I have spent about two and a half hours playing the game. At twelve I prayed with my mom at which time I turned the PS4 off. All of this leads up to the present. Lol. It’s pretty cold out-56 degrees to be exact. I totally forgot today is the first of the year. I texted four friends wishing them a happy new year. So, my new Years pledge is to write everyday-whether it’s blogging or fiction writing. However I will give myself days off. I don’t want to get burnt out. I really miss writing. Lol. Well, I’m a little fatigued. I am not used to so much writing. Lol. Good bye. |
| Today was good. Although, I did not get up at 5:33 am, I did get up at about 7 am. I spent an hour in the Word. I read through the latter part of Acts and part of Romans. Specifically, it was about Paul’s former cohorts who accused him of false charges. His charge was brought to Rome in front of governor Festas, then to Felix who succeeded him. King Agrippa also was a spectator. Eventually, Paul appealed to Ceasar. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulation, for tribulation, and tribulation to perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope. And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured in our hearts, by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. – Romans 5:3-5. I memorized those verses. After that, I hit the PS4. I got slightly farther in the game. I played for an hour and a half. Next I did the dishes. Then, I cooked eggs and bacon. I usually take three slices but the older package was slightly molded, so I threw it out. Once again, I did the dishes remaining from my breakfast. All these things lead to his present moment. Not much to say. Lol. The Writer’s Cramp is doing a weeklong poetry activity. I don’t feel like poetry now. Later tonight I will be going to church at 6:30 pm. That’s what is going on, pretty much. I am at least happy I actually showed up and did this blog entry. Well, until tomorrow! |
| So, my original intent on doing a blog entry yesterday. Alas, I did not. However I am here now. I played Jedi: Survivor for the first time on Saturday. It is really fun! Apparently, you receive the saber stances automatically as you progress. The saber skills and force skills are gained through a point system. After taking off the plastic of the game box, I found there was no manual. Rather, there is a tutorial that explains the mechanics and moves as you play. After church yesterday, my three friends, Nate, his girlfriend Rachel, her son and I went to a small Chinese restaurant. I ordered the teriyaki chicken with noodles. There was not very much chicken. Lol. Afterwards, Nate drove me home and the rest of my day was uneventful. However, next Saturday Nate and will go to the men’s breakfast and then to a shooting range. I am quite excited to go. Lol. Today is Monday, the 30th of December. My stepdad went to the gym at like 4:30 am today. He is now feeling lots of aching because of the workout. Everything I have spoken of leads to this precise moment. My stepdad, Jim, is watching Newsmax on TV. Hmmm…what else can I say? It’s pretty cold in the house. I’m wearing my ultra thick sweater. Lol. My brother, Josh, was impressed with my novel I wrote. He was honest enough to say there was lots of grammatical errors in the latter half of the book. I told him I paid my editor about $1,000 to edit it, including copy editing it. Josh emphatically suggested I go with another editor if choose to write another book. But I have developed such a good friendship with, Jessica, my editor. Nevertheless, my bro has had similar situations. He told me he has co-workers that he liked as friends but not as fellow software developers that does the bare minimum to get the job done. Well, I will go. Goodbye! |
| Christmas was wonderful on Wednesday! So, something happened on Tuesday, the day before. All the presents under our decorated tree were supposed to go to my sister’s house. I visually inspected all of the wrapped gifts and I was expected to get the game I wanted. At first glance I saw nothing the size and shape of game, and I thought my mom did not get the game for me. And I did not. Lol. After feeling let down I gave up all hope of getting it. But, I was pleasantly surprised the next day, on Christmas, when my brother and sister gave it to me! I was so happy. I gave the same game to my brother and his son, but for the PS5 and not the PS4, that I got. They really loved it! The rest of the time was great. We stayed there for a few hours and left. The day after Christmas, yesterday, we had my brother, my sister their two kids, my sister and my brother-in-law and their son. We ordered five pizzas and mostly all of it was eaten-no leftovers. )= My brother-in-law, my sister and their son left early and the rest of our guests left later on. My niece and nephew watched Panyo, a Japanese animated movie-one title that my mom and I like. Lol. For the latter part of the evening, we conversed while we sat in two rows of chairs facing each other. Something bugged me yesterday though. I was forgetting what I was thinking of. It happened multiple times. I told my bro and he said it happens all the time. So, what happens is that I paused in mid conversation, I lose my thought. It bugs the heck out of me! Oh, well. I need to exercise my mind and start writing again. Blogging is okay, but I will work out more mental muscle with going back to fiction writing. Tomorrow I will enter the Writer’s Cramp-if it appeals to me. lol. My bro came over and dropped off some pictures of my niece and nephew. My nephew, Alex, is camera nervous and it shows in his photos. They were cute pictures. Lol. So my mom will be hearing from my sister, April’s house, to find if we can come over. My stepdad got the idea that we were invited to April’s place. Well, That’s all for now. Bye, bye. |
| Ah… yes! I finally did it. I got up early-5:30 am. It’s been a while and it feels good. The first thing I began with at the wee hours of the morning of the day was start some coffee. The it was right to the Word of God. I actually went backward beginning from Jude. Then I went to the Gospel of John. I love how it begins-“In the beginning was the word and the Word was with and the word was God. He was with Him in the beginning.” This excerpt clearly declares that divinity of Jesus as God as well as the Son. Jesus is the “image of the invisible God.” So, Sunday was the day when my two friends came over to meet my brother, his wife and their two kids. The whole social interaction consisted of a simple greeting more or less. And honestly I associated with my two friends more than my brother and sister-in-law as well as their two kids. I did have a really good time, though. My brother and his family left before my two friends did. My one friend, Rachel, is southern and she made a killer pecan pie! I usually don’t take to pecan pies, but what she made was great. It was very rich and yummy. Since my two friends will not be coming for Christmas day, we gave the their gift cards that day on the 22nd. Oh, and I cannot forget to mention Rachel’s 12 year old son, Grayson. He got a gift card too. Needless to say, there were tons of dishes to clean. Lol. I did them all by myself, but I took care of them relatively quickly. My stepdad picked up a pumpkin and an apple pie. We didn’t even touch it. lol. Oh, well-more for us. My mom talked on the phone with my sister to come over to her house in the morning. We might be having pizzas for the food part. I hope that happens. Lol. I‘m sure there will be leftover pizza to bring back home. My biological dad will be there. I have not seen him for almost a decade. I selected a game for both my brother-in-law and his son for their PS5. The game arrived early in their mailbox like a week sooner than it was supposed to and my sister was on her way to wrap it. I hope they like it. I actually asked for the same game but it is for my PS4. Yesterday, I played Ultra Street Fighter IV for thirty minutes. My plan is to play only up to three hours of play a week. But if I do get the Star Wars game I want, I may give some leeway, since it would be a new toy. Lol. There is a game I downloaded that I want to give an add on. An add on is just extra content and characters added to the game. Well, that’s my spiel. Goodbye! |
| My day has been moderately productive. I cleaned the guest room bathroom. Then I did the dishes. My next task will be to do my clothes. This time around, I will not have to do a hefty load of laundry from procrastination, where I let things pile up. lol. My mom continues to decorate for the season. God has given her so much anergy, motivation, and discipline as well as a spiritual awakening and ferventness. It’s like when she was in her thirties. So hopefully, Nate will be able to put together our last stool recliner and then after that go shooting. He has a relatively big assortment of firearms. I want to try some of them. My mom, me and my stepdad want to give him at least $50 for Christmas. Personally, I want to give him $100. He deserves it. Yesterday, my mom ordered Jedi Survivor for my brother-in-law and my nephew. We ordered it on Amazon and it will be shipped to their house. I hope they like it. lol. If they do not like it, or they want to get it on their PC, they can return it. Amazon is good in that regard. Someday along the way, I may get a gaming PC laptop from Amazon if they sell them. If I do get one, I want a top-of-line laptop. It is absolutely beautiful outside. And the temperature is cool and mild. The gardeners came earlier and I gave them the monthly check. I am so happy they do the job as it would suck to do it myself. Our backyard is sort of big. And the gardeners do an outstanding job. My friend Nate thinks highly of the backyard. I want to start writing fiction again. First I want to prep my mind by doing daily blogs and also to start a habit of going to my computer and doing composition exercises. Speaking of which, my typing speed has increased steadily. It makes things simpler and more efficient. It is fun too. Lol. My mom and I have committed ourselves to praying three times a day for some time, now. And God is really working out our petitions and helping us. I failed to get up early like I always try to do. I got up at about 10 am and began reading the Word on my iPhone. “If anyone would love life and see good days let him refrain is tongue from evil.” I may have switched a word around. I also do not recall the verse number. “…will receive the crown of life he has promised to those who love Him.” Well, that is it for now. Goodbye. |
| So much has happened today and yesterday night. After I texted with my friend Rachel, I texted my friend Nate and asked him if he was free Saturday morning to put the last stool recliner and then go to the shooting range. He told me it would depend on what happens on Friday. I have not gone shooting in a long while. Hopefully, all things will work out. Sunday is the big day! My brother, my sister-in-law and their two kids will come over and my two friends too. We’ll be eating bone in steaks rather than a bird or a ham. My mom and stepdad think A1 sauce ruins a steak. What are they talking about! It makes the steak. My mom and I have been doing lots of housework and arranging. This included putting book boxes to the master bedroom closet that is kind of big. My mom believes we have been given this house to be used by the Lord as a Bible study or to allow destitute people down in life to stay here. My mom has been blessed with lots of energy and enthusiasm. Before she couldn’t do even a fraction of the stuff, we have taken care of. Jim’s back is still hurting him. I always keep him on prayer. The expectation is for the back nerve cauterization to kick in. The previous ones worked well and for a long time. So I am thinking of getting a gaming laptop. Mainly for the reason I got my PS4-simply to play one game. Lol. In this case it is Jedi fallen order and the third instalment yet to be released. I have really taken a liking of worship music or more accurately, to sing to God and worship Him. God is constantly working in me. He tends to operate that way even when I do not see it or feel it. lol. I really want to give my friend who has not returned my texts, calls or Facebook messaging. I pray and hope he calls me soon. I miss him. He is a good guy. The big question is why he has not contacted me for so long. My mom thinks he could be depressed. I have thought of sending him a Christmas card. Such a personal act may incite him to call me. I done two blog entries back-to-back. I have prayed for discipline to get up at a good hour and to blog everyday. Eventually, I want to get back to fiction composition. Well that is it for now. Good bye. |
| So, My mom and I are still doing cleanup and rearranging of our house. Yesterday I vacuumed the back part of the master bedroom that my mom totally cleaned. Elsewhere, on a different facet, my friend Nate put our two stool recliners together. There are an additional two chairs that should arrive today. The plan is to get him to put them together Saturday in the morning. My idea is to take us out shooting afterwards at around 11 am when the one closest range to us opens. I haven’t gone shooting in almost half a year. My friend, Larry, cleaned, oiled, and tested my gun and my stepdad’s gun. I’m looking forward to the Sunday afternoon steak grilling. Altogether, ten steaks will be cooked. My two friends Rachel and Nate will come over. Also visiting will be my brother, my sister-in-law and their two kids. I’m excited about everyone meeting each other. So, I am considering not getting jedi survivor for my PS4. I kind of feel like God does not want me to. And it is not a matter of overplaying it. I wonder why God would want this. I am asking God for confirmation. I must obey God, whatever the reason this is if this is what He wants. Well, I just asked my mom to keep this matter in prayer and we prayed on the spot. She kind of said to be at peace about the matter, moreover saying pretty much that I am free to enjoy it. (= I asked God to clarify these things and it looks like He did. Well that’s it for now. Bye! |
