This Might Be It...

This might be the last post to this blog. Before you get too disappointed and whiney and start crying on me, let me explain.

It was over four years ago that I started writing this blog. The purpose was, and still is, to expose the workings of the religious spirit that has way too much influence over the churches in the Santa Maria valley. To this day, I am not sure there are more than a handful of people who believe that really is a problem. I think I have made the case pretty well and am not sure there is anything left to say. Besides that, everything has to come to an end sometime.

It does not really seem right to be writing about things that really are not important to me in order to make some money. On the other hand it does not seem right to write about what is important to make some money. Did you understand that? What is important to me is to open the minds of both Christians and non-Christians to all the possibilities of the Kingdom of God.

You see, I have had something happen to me lately that I do not quite understand. I had the Holy Spirit impress me to read the prophets. I will admit it has been quite awhile since I did that. I had not even completed reading Isaiah when I noticed my mind had changed about pretty much everything in my life. I am not sure anything really changed, but everything seemed better, like my whole life had somehow generally changed for the better. I am not going to go into detail, but literally everything in my life just seems to be falling into place and making sense. (Do not ask me to explain that because I am not really sure what I am talking about. I am just much more optimistic about God being in control.)

To summarize, this blog began as an expose' of a religious spirit, written for The Church in Santa Maria and, by extension, the whole Church. That reason now seems to have run it's course. My new perspective is that there are a lot of people who could have their lives changed by an encounter with Jesus. (Duh!) The problem is that most of them do not want to hear it at all.

I am currently in my second tour of counseling people with substance abuse problems in places where any form of "religious" discussion is taboo. The good news about that is the Holy Spirit always has a way of getting to them. As I have written before, "God's will does not always make sense initially, but it always makes sense ultimately."

This post was originally written to introduce a new venture in blogging. That did not work out the way I had hoped it would in the time frame I needed to have it happen. I am back to thinking about what to, whether to, and how to do something similar, but maybe not exactly the same. One, more time, if that did not make sense to you, no worries. I am not at all sure what it means either. Thanks for reading and God bless!
