Some notes...
OK, I'll leave the PPP blog alone for awhile. They're pretty much ignoring me pretty well now anyway. Not much more I can berate them with. I just get drenched in that level and can't reascend. I'll leave it alone.
There are a couple of good posts recently on the '+' blog. One thing I've experienced in my 4th, then 5th, and now 6th complete reading of the Bible is coming into truly new understanding of it each time. The post on Leviticus on the + blog may not come across saying what I was trying to say, completely, but it's an example. To be able to 'see' and understand a book like Leviticus, beyond the surface of it (i.e. beyond understanding the role of the law given on Sinai and how that applies then and now and all that, which is alot to understand in and of itself) is to truly be given new understanding. To see that book especially in the more practical, useful level. I once made a list of features and traits (negative ones) that corresponded to things Leviticus is talking about, so I've gone deeper there in the past, but to see it as I wrote about it in that + blog post is different. It is almost in the category of seeing an instance of divine irony in the text, which is often tricky and hard to see (people often claim God is 'laughing' at us or being something equivalent to the 'guru' type thing, but they don't have understanding let alone reverence - fear - of the text and of God).
I'm not going to record anything here on this blog regarding actual ground level Work aims. That is something for private records and journals. I would only do it as an example. For pedagogical reasons, if you will. But that has been done.
I WILL continue to note my progress in the 6th complete Bible reading on the PPP post I set up for that though. Because I will finish that. That is a big, serious aim. One complete reading is big. I'll also continue to record the reading of the Edwards' book, because that is a project that symbolizes a completion of a big stage (of study). In case no one noticed I put two links in the PPP blog's right hand margin to those two book-reading posts for ease of finding.
I heard a woman on the news, in the aftermath of a horrible murder-suicide committed by someone known in her New Orleans neighborhood, say something interesting (seemingly obvious, but it seems insightful the way she said it). She said: it seems like the line between surviving and coping and no longer being able to survive and cope is getting thinner nowadays...
If you ever start feeling like what that women said that is when prayer as a real powerful help (ask and ye shall receive) and strength in Christ, and the Spirit of Christ, which is the Holy Spirit, and ministering angels, all are there to be used (and you have to be good at it via experience, and increased understanding of it and how it works and manifests). You don't have because you don't ask. It's revolutionary to realize you can draw on something bigger and more powerful than you. That is how people in the world in a comfortable situation do it anyway. They belong to something bigger than them. They draw their sustenance from a big company or government institution or what have you. At the worldly level that gives comfort and stability in life. But spiritually, you have that at an infinitely bigger and more powerful level...
