Relaunch of Fire & Grace

After a 10 year hiatus from blogging here, I am back. I wrote hundreds of blogs on MyFitnessPal during the time. I also wrote three or four books. In the process I did some other cool stuff like running the Abbott World Major Marathons, survive cancer 7 times, as well as congestive heart failure. I also contracted a disabling neurological condition in 2018.

I have had five major surgeries to try and correct it.

What will I be writing about now? Jesus. Life. Truthfully, not a whole lot. I am still cognitively disabled from my condition and writing requires a lot of help from others.

Today, the season to publish four books has arrived.

24 years - almost 25 years after the prophet Denny Cramer spoke write, write, write over me, I am going to gather all of it in 4 volumes. Maybe even 5. This time, there won't be a publisher to say no one cares about what God does. Time has made it about what the Lord did and not about me. There won't be the pressure to meet deadlines. I won't need to defend myself. I won't need to market it. I only have to let my team know what I want.

God has opened an unexpected doorway for me to go through.

I know what I want and in a few short weeks, I have acquired a writing coach, a couple of long-time friends to copy edit, another to do the graphic design, pre-readers, and finally, audio books are on the table, too.

How will it turn out? I have no idea. It's the season, that I am certain of. Does anyone care what I have to say? That is none of my business. All the matters is this:

John 3:11 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak only of what we [absolutely] know and testify about what we have [actually] seen [as eyewitnesses. AMP

Why?

Revelation 12:11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. NIV

When will I write something new? I don't know. I will probably post excerpts from the various books as things progress. For now, I'll go back to my quiet life and spend time with those I love and the people of God, some of whom I have known for many decades.

Touchdown Jesus! - Vessels of Grace and Channels of Power

My blog title is grammatically correct. Jesus did not get a touchdown, that was the nickname a 62 foot tall, upper torso sculpture, of Jesus was given. The sculpture, off I-75 in southern Ohio, was struck by lightening and burned to the ground. HERE is the Yahoo News story. I an not going to segue into some prophetic sign of how the End Times are upon is. Much more interesting, and relevant, are the comments on the article by some 3,500+ readers. Here is one by Joshua - "God and Jesus was just made up in a book too. Same with Lucifer and every other angel. Anyone who says Zues is just made up cant prove it. Nor can anyone prove Jesus or God is too. Anyone can write a book and make up some higher being and some poor fools will buy into it." This is one of my favorites from What122: "I wonder if their insurance will cover it, or will the insurance company say it was an act of God?" One commenter characterizes Christianity by using the Bible against itself. Be...

Political Tuesdays - The Taxation Question

I have written on political topics in the past. And with the upcoming electons, I thought I would dedicate Tuesdays to some political ranting and Johndrow-esque, "think for myself" politics. Most will not be based on any specific Christian belief or doctrine unless it applies. As an American I find myself stunned, over and over; like fish in the reach of the tenticles of a man-o-war, at political solutions to human and spiritual problems. I live in Masschusetts, and we are the most liberal state in the US. We were first in gay marriage, we were first in mandatory healthcare, we have rejected mandatory sentencing for repeat and sex offenders, we are ahead of the Global Warming curve, we have high taxes ( on average 10% ), we are split on casino gambleing only because we've missed the boat (if doesn't create jobs, it's a political flop), and well John Kerry and Ted Kennedy were our sentaors for many years (Kerry still is). The last time we went red for president...
