Just Because – Zero Lift-Off

Why are We here; Is it Worth Being Born?

“Total humility is the beginning of acceptance and understanding”

First this life and my thoughts now aren’t about believing in Santa Claus or not!

A year passed and have things changed; not really the same game but worse!

Let me ask you; do you really prefer to think that not being born would be better for you and your children? Because I can absolutely guarantee you that is exactly what the Devil wants you to believe, that master of all lies wants any of us to think we are defeated before we start. Start what you might say with; how about the greatest and most magnificent journey that the brightest of minds couldn’t imagine in a million years! A way for everything to add up and come out perfect! Who else can sort all of this out, but the author of existence, certainly we mere inklings of a shadowy concoction of energy, matter and substance don’t have a fart in the winds chance of coming up with The Solution to all that has, is and will be happening on this planet our home we call earth.

You see I’ve learned that God absolutely exists and God’s purposes and Plans are all that matter not we free willed sometimes foolish, silly or arrogant creations of; His. “Total humility is the beginning of acceptance and understanding” that we are here for a God given reason not our imperfect sometimes self-righteous thinking or vision of what this has to be about living among the dead as we do; for I say to you this isn’t really living not with a price on all of our heads that says nobody gets out alive! We are looking with eyes half shut or in many cases wide shut in which case even though we think they are open they see nothing, not the Truth of God; never really seeing the length and depth of all that is really going on, and is always beyond our grasp; yet it’s as plain and simple as the morning turns to night and after the night a new dawn comes. No degree in rocket science required, only a genuine humble heart on bent knee which will open not only your heart to God but will open up the ultimate world of possibility and endless love! Something must bridge that enormous GAP for us, and that can only be the One who set this all in motion to begin with! Being BORN into this at times so chaotic and even rotten world is I assure you a Blessing, and no matter who it is or what they have or don’t have, being able to exist is our one sure ticket to the Ultimate Destination. Which is to be with God the One who made this all possible and is always waiting first for our recognition of Him to acknowledge we know we are helpless babes in the woods and need Him above all there is in this existence! That He must be our primary focus and then to learn with His unrelenting undivided help and attention; to Trust in Him! If we are making this connection as individuals that I’m speaking about to you placing Him front and center in our lives, then that will ensure us of our lives being worth something and a whole lot more than we can ever come up with or concoct on our own for being here in the first place!

Life is the most beautiful incomparable gift and blessing of absolute LOVE! We are suffering here and some so much more than others;many through NO fault of their own but the world is riddled with sin and evils that effect even the most innocent among us! What’s fair and fun about that you might ask, and I say not much, that at times to me really sucks, that so much pain and suffering is going on and so many dreams and hopes getting dashed or crushed under the enormous weight and burden of sin, imperfection, stupidity, hate and the list goes on as you are well aware I’m sure! But for this to all get sorted out and for any of us to make heads or tails of it all, is a fool’s errand, unless we have God on our side, you hear that; God on our side. He actually is, that is why this whole damned world didn’t get wiped away like so much chaff in the wind long ago, to our concept of time; but really a flickering flame to God which He hasn’t extinguished yet! We are absolutely at His Mercy and He wants us with Him in His Glory! How do we get that you might wonder here; we start by wanting Him so badly that it becomes our life force and breath our very REASON for LIVING, so we can be a part of His heavenly eternal Glorious and totally wonderful kingdom! I see it clear my friend, we are so lucky to be here and each of us will be nothing but dust, these bodies in the end, with our souls damned to oblivion or complete separation from God’s glory, his eternal kingdom; not even being a memory without God setting the record straight and bringing absolute Justice to all things in His good time when it is appropriate for any of us!

Now that was coming from my own heart that God has opened and restored countless times because due to my own errors and shortcomings, He knows I belong to Him though I don’t deserve to in a sense, yet I do; because I decided with my Own Heart that I want to and must if I’m to be worth anything after it’s all said and done and this carcass I occupy is eventually in the dirt where it belongs, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak;” but my soul belongs to Him my Maker, who Gives, who gives all things; to those who love Him back! But how much grander is what comes for us if we stay strong in our faith no matter what, and “keep Jesus Christ front and center in our hearts and minds!”

Universe docu final — The star-forming region NGC 3603 – seen here in the latest Hubble Space Telescope image – contains one of the most impressive massive young star clusters in the Milky Way. Bathed in gas and dust the cluster formed in a huge rush of star formation thought to have occurred around a million years ago. The hot blue stars at the core are responsible for carving out a huge cavity in the gas seen to the right of the star cluster in NGC 3603’s centre.

1 Corinthians 2:9

9 But as Scripture says:

“No eye has seen,

no ear has heard,

and no mind has imagined

the things that God has prepared

for those who love him.”

Love must be a two way street and we can never give a fraction of what God is giving or ultimately offering!

Saint Dismas a scoundrel of a man and bad dude before he met Jesus Christ who was nailed to the cross next to his, he Dismas to the right side of Jesus saw all that transpired that day his final day, when his heart opened up like never before watching this man who said He is the Son of the Father in the heavenly Kingdom saying things like, “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do!” Dismas was so rapt in awe he asked this dying man the Savior to “just remember me when you join your Father in Your kingdom.” He as then in that moment being honest and humble having admitted he deserved every bit of what he was getting being tied to a cross and crucified for all of his crimes against men, as well wasting his life being a scoundrel, but, then surely as Dismas correctly said to Jesus, in essence his meaning being; you deserve none of what they have done to you, you have to be who you say you are, just by how you are forgiving these same people doing this to you, you have shown not even one complaint or modicum of anger or hatred, you are praying for them instead!

“One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

—Luke 23:39–43 (NIV)

And so Dismas then asking Jesus in all humility and heart felt compassion not thinking in the slightest that he deserved even this opportunity to ask, the Messiah; “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise” (verses 42-43).

“As Jesus was hanging on the cross, paying our penalty for sin, He made a promise to a dying, repentant thief. By the grace of God and the power of Christ, that promise was kept. The thief’s sins were washed away, and his death that day was his entrance to paradise.” gotquestions.org/today-paradise.html

What does “if God is for us, who can be against us” mean in Romans 8:31?

Romans 8:31 says, “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” The “things” are the dozens of amazing proofs of God’s unfailing love listed in the preceding verses. Romans 8 contains many of the cherished verses that comfort us, such as “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (verse 1). And the one that gets us through difficult times: “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (verse 28). Verse 31 of Romans 8 is a culmination of all those wonderful promises. It reminds us who God is and how He helps us. When we grasp the truth that God is for us, we have nothing to fear.

God is “for” us in the sense that He is on our side; He is working on our behalf and for our good. He has proved His benevolence in that He has adopted us (Romans 8:15), He has given us His Spirit (verses 16–17, 26–27), and He has determined to save us (verses 29–30).

The follow-up question, “who can be against us?” is rhetorical. It’s another way of saying, “There is no one who could possibly be more powerful than God” or “No one can destroy us.” The idea is not that we will never face opposition; it’s simply that our opposition is doomed to failure. They may be against us, but not successfully against us. Since God is on our side, we have nothing to worry about.

Romans 8:31 is an echo of other passages that say the something similar:

• Psalm 118:6 says, “The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

• 2 Kings 6:16: “‘Don’t be afraid,’ the prophet [Elisha] answered. ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’”

• Psalm 56:9: “My enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.”

• Hebrews 13:6: “So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?’”

• Psalm 27:1: “The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”

Sometimes our hearts respond to verses like this with consternation: “I’ll tell you who can be against me! The IRS, my in-laws, terrorists, corrupt politicians—” and the list goes on. Our real-life enemies seem to overshadow the ideas conveyed in Romans 8. Despite spiritual promises, we still have to endure physical, mental, and emotional struggles—so much so that we may wonder if God is truly for us.

The man who penned Romans 8:31 (Paul) faced the same struggles we face and many more. He lists some of his sufferings in 2 Corinthians 11:22–28 as proof that he did not write from a plastic bubble of ethereal peace. However, his intimate relationship with the risen Christ had become his all-consuming passion. He said he considered everything else “garbage” compared to knowing Christ (Philippians 3:7–9). He had learned the secret of contentment, whether he was celebrated or imprisoned, and he stated that secret: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13, BSB).

So when Paul writes, “If God is for us, who can be against us,” he is comparing earthly opposition to the eternal power and presence of Almighty God—and he declares the winner. No one can overcome God’s love for us.

Jesus taught the same thing. In Luke 12:4–5, Jesus said, “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.” His point, as was Paul’s, is that, no matter what may happen to us here on earth, there is a higher reality. There is a bigger war than the one we think we face, and God is the ultimate winner (Ephesians 6:12). If we are on His side, then we will win, too. (Revelation 21:7–8, 27).” gotquestions.org/if-God-is-for-us-who-can-be-against-us

I Lawrence say with absolute confidence God is with us right now and never leaves our sides but we do have crosses to carry while here which is absolutely worth it! He Jesus Christ overcame all of this conflict and suffering and did it out of “Pure Absolute Love” and I tell you as I look around this world, me an imperfect nobody, I see so much I wouldn’t want to be any part of, yet I’m so happy to be dealing with the blood, sweat and tears of it all; because I have a shot through Jesus Christ of making sure that my life a gift from God was and is all worth it because He overcame all obstacles to Paradise; our path is to follow Him our Lord Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

I knowing through and by my own heart with Him Jesus Christ that we are going to make it there to the Promised Land, Hallelujah!

God bless you brothers and sisters!

Being stupid!

Yes indeed there is too much stupid in the world that is why so many people are being deceived and led around like herd animals by the MSM and Mobs! Not a good sign of what is coming to humanity soon!

Brainwashing is going on right this second and every second of every day! Think about social media platforms they all revolve around FOLLOWERS and so many people live to get followers but what are people being trained to FOLLOW and think as FOLLOWERS all day long! Years ago when people lived totally real lives not on social media they were busy surviving doing their daily work then when they had spare time they could rest and read some book or do some artistic pastime but they were not being trained like parrots or creatures that have no minds of their own. People were totally more independent from the multitude of things going on in the world they were separate and apart, but now each is a part of the whole, and like a giant school of fish in a sea they move in accordance with patterns and conditions placed upon them by rulers or governments to condition them to think and behave according to prescribed dictates and agendas! We see this parrot behavior in groups like Antifa or BLM and many other organized mobs as well in much smaller local community groups, but, in all of these a narrative is applied through Mass Media and Social Media to influence the masses and there is a dark plan in all of this, being inspired by the master of all deceptions the Devil! Not looking good at all for our human race if this continues much longer!

Here is a little something I wrote at the start of the year and I must say nothing has changed much since then!

Can people really change you may ask? I pose another question to answer that!

Can people really try and do they try, genuinely try, to alter their ways or thinking comprehensively and permanently? If they won’t actually try then talking to them about change is like speaking to a blank wall or as if they are giving lip service to be in the groove with the status-quo and say my New Year’s resolution is to do such and such then why bother saying anything if it’s not a true commitment. And therein lies a massive problem in today’s modern society of instant gratification and too much to be had, which easily transports us to this sad destination, lack of commitment, by many people in many walks of life; in general I think fewer people make lasting commitments that mean anything in today’s fast past dynamic flowing digital age where things are not only here today and gone tomorrow but with the blink of an eye a person can be on to bigger and better things! Or so they may think, when in actuality they are deluded and living in a trance induced by multiple delusions coming at all of us from all directions at once in the cyber-istic high-tech world we are all now caught up in where MSM plays with our minds and manipulates them to keep the truth from us and to cause us to believe falsehood as truth! Master plans of deception abound and we are like the fish of the sea moving in massive schools with the tide, currents, food supply and other stimuli like predator avoidance. They tend to be doing what they must habitually, to carry on and live or survive just for the sake of surviving; an instinctual thing.

Here is that full essay in case you want to read it.

https://lawrencemorra.com/2021/01/02/change-resolutions-like-fish-in-the-sea/

God bless you!
I hope something in this long response will help you and any followers to see more truth! Then a person can change for the better!

Yeah, you read it correct. I am talking about being stupid. Yes we act sometimes this. We behave stupid for short time and sometime for longer.

Hey readers, I am writing after a while. And its a good feeling to resume with this article. I hope You will relate and comment your view.

So what is being stupid?

When You are not you, you are stupid. The moment You ignore your instincts you become stupid. The ‘time’, which you can’t turn into you favour. The moment when you don’t persue your wishes.

Its proven fact that when you dedicate yourself toward your wishes, you achieve it. Their is no excuse. If you give excuses you behave stupid. Every now and then and every single moment we are in something but we should be indulge in something not in to something.

How there is difference to be in something and indulge…

VIAGGI: STORIA DELLA PARAPSICOLOGIA. (27 ottobre 2021)

Molto interessante e completa la contabilità storica Eleonora! Hai portato il lettore in un viaggio dall’ingresso della coscienza dell’umanità della superstizione e della realtà basata sulla paura che vive nell’oscurità o nel mare dell’ignoranza alla sua ascesa a un altopiano di conoscenza e meraviglia! Ora gli esseri umani possono vantarsi che stanno cercando più luce o meglio messo; più illuminazione; attraverso la conoscenza!
Quindi qui stiamo avendo una scienza progettata esclusivamente tra tutte le scienze chiamate parapsicologia con il chiaro intento di cercare la conoscenza e una migliore comprensione dell’inspiegabile o forse di ciò che ci sembra veramente bizzarro!

Questa ricerca di capire o conoscere il perché e il come di tutte le cose che ci circondano è una reazione naturale poiché viviamo in questa limitata capacità o capacità ma per temperare questa considerazione che l’umanità si concede avendo tali menti indagatrici potremmo considerare che forse siamo in una commissione da pazzi quando si considera la vastità dell’universo e le potenziali infinite possibilità o il numero incalcolabile di cose inspiegabili che ci sono da trovare e conoscere là fuori! È divertente quello che mi viene in mente in questo momento è qualcosa che mio padre mi avrebbe detto quando ero più giovane e così molto eccitato o curioso della vita, essendo pieno di esuberanza e mentre parlavo con lui di queste grandi idee o domande che avevo, che stavo sforzando la mia mente per avvolgere la mia testa o pensieri in modo da poterli capire! Mi disse con calma: “sai abbastanza da metterti nei guai.”O in un’altra occasione ha detto; “non ti rendi conto che ci sono alcune cose che non dovresti sapere, che solo Dio fa!”Si dice che” il Diavolo è nei dettagli ” e questo mi fa pensare che forse il Diavolo si diverte a guardarci cercando di conoscere o capire così tanto, ma, sa che non possiamo mai sapere abbastanza nella nostra forma limitata, quindi gioca brutti scherzi a volte con quei dettagli; dire come gli UFO sono forse tutti frutto dell’immaginazione dei Diavoli che può proiettare in questo regno in cui ora viviamo; una sorta di la stessa idea di popoli antichi vedendo apparizioni o fantasmi o anche oggetti che viaggiano nei cieli sopra di loro!

Questo mi porta alla mia rivelazione momentanea in questo momento che la vedo in questo modo! Che non importa quanto abbiamo da imparare o capire questa realtà e l’esistenza che ci sta andando sempre di essere molto di più da sapere e che, una volta in questo percorso di cercare di capire tutto, forse non è uno sciocco commissione, ma, è un’infinita battaglia in salita che non si può superare o completa senza la parte più profonda e totalizzante il potere di rivelazione, che può venire solo dal regno di Dio è il Creatore dell’universo; come mi rendo conto che stiamo solo grattando la superficie in questa ricerca, e niente di più! Posso lasciarvi con questa bella espressione di pensieri in queste parole da un grande uomo con una mente profondamente grande che ha detto quello che sto cercando di dire, ma devo cedere che ha detto molto meglio di me.

Voglio lasciare qualcosa che trovo molto perspicace da un uomo che tutti conosciamo era una persona straordinariamente brillante che penso anche se la sua testa era immersa nel mondo della scienza e delle teorie che aveva una visione acuta della presenza e della realtà di Dio come poche persone possono raggiungere con le nostre limitanti facoltà cognitive.; e il suo rispetto e amore per Dio era presente e genuino; quindi possiamo dire che Dio giudicherà di conseguenza, so per me Einstein era un’anima buona e rispettosa in questo mondo, quindi gli auguro bene.

Einstein su Sé e il mistico
“Un essere umano è parte di tutto l’universo chiamato da noi, una parte limitata nel tempo e nello spazio. Sperimentiamo noi stessi, i nostri pensieri e sentimenti come qualcosa di separato dal resto. Una sorta di illusione ottica della coscienza. Questa illusione è una sorta di prigione per noi, limitandoci ai nostri desideri personali e all’affetto per alcune persone a noi più vicine. Il nostro compito deve essere quello di liberarci dalla prigione allargando il nostro cerchio di compassione per abbracciare tutte le creature viventi e tutta la natura nella sua bellezza. Il vero valore di un essere umano è determinato dalla misura e dal senso in cui ha ottenuto la liberazione dal sé. Avremo bisogno di un modo di pensare sostanzialmente nuovo se l’umanità vuole sopravvivere.”
– Albert Einstein, 1954

“L’esperienza più bella e più profonda è la sensazione del mistico. È il seminatore di tutta la vera scienza. Colui al quale questa emozione è un estraneo, che non può più meravigliarsi e stare rapito in soggezione, è buono come morto. Sapere che ciò che per noi è impenetrabile esiste realmente, manifestandosi come la più alta saggezza e la bellezza più radiosa che le nostre facoltà noiose possono comprendere solo nelle loro forme primitive – questa conoscenza, questo sentimento è al centro della vera religiosità.”
– Albert Einstein “ ” La fusione di spirito e scienza”

Quest’uomo, il padre della fisica, aveva detto alcuni grandi one liners, ma due che spiccano sono questi. Egli si riferì a Dio come il ” Vecchio.”Ha parlato con altri fisici era noto per aver detto durante una discussione sulla Teoria del Big Bang in cui uno scienziato ha detto che con abbastanza eventi casuali che si verificano in questo pre-millisecondo prima che accadesse eureka si è verificata la giusta combinazione; Einstein ha detto chiaramente;” Dio non tira i dadi.”

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have captured the most comprehensive picture ever assembled of the evolving Universe — and one of the most colourful. The study is called the Ultraviolet Coverage of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UVUDF) project.

Benedizioni a voi. 😊

Very interesting and comprehensive historical accounting Eleonora! You did bring the reader on a journey from the entrance of mankind’s consciousness of superstition and fear based reality living in the darkness or sea of ignorance to its rise to a plateau of knowledge and wonder! Now humans can boast they are seeking more light or better put; more enlightenment; through knowledge!
So here we are having a science exclusively designed among all the sciences called parapsychology with the clear intent of seeking knowledge and a better understanding of the inexplicable or perhaps what appears to us to be the truly bizarre!

This quest to understand or know the why and how of all things around us is a natural reaction as we live in this limited capacity or capability but to temper this consideration that mankind bestows upon itself having such inquiring minds could we consider that perhaps we are on a fool’s errand when one considers the vastness of the universe and the potential infinite possibilities or the sheer incalculable number of inexplicable things there are to find and know out there! It’s funny what comes to my mind at the moment is something my Dad would say to me when I was a younger person and so very excited or inquisitive about life, being full of exuberance and as I would speak with him about these big ideas or questions I had, which I was straining my mind to wrap my head or thoughts around so that I could figure them out! He just calmly said to me; “you know enough to get yourself into trouble.” Or on another occasion he said; “don’t you realize that there are some things you’re not supposed to know, that only God does!” It is said that “the Devil is in the details” and that causes me to think that perhaps the Devil enjoys watching us trying to know or understand so much, but, he knows we can never know enough in our limited form so he plays tricks on us at times messing with those details; say like UFO’s are perhaps all a figment of the Devils imagination that he can project out into this realm we now live in; sort of the same idea of ancient peoples seeing apparitions or ghosts or even objects traveling in the heavens above them!

This brings me to my momentary revelation right now that I see it this way! That no matter how much we learn or understand about this reality and existence that there is always going to be so much more to know and that once on this path of trying to figure it all out perhaps it isn’t a fool’s errand, but, it is an endless uphill battle that we cannot overcome or complete without the most profound and all-encompassing power of revelation that can only come from the realm of God the Creator of the universe; as I realize we are only scratching the surface in this quest and nothing more! I can leave you with this beautiful expression of thoughts in these words from a great man with a profoundly great mind that said what I’m trying to say, but I must relent that he said much better than I.

I want to leave something I find very insightful by a man we all know was a remarkably brilliant person who I think even though his head was immersed in the world of science and theories he had a keen insight into God’s presence and reality like few people can achieve with our limiting cognitive faculties.; and his respect and love of God was present and genuine; therefore we can say God will judge accordingly, I know for myself Einstein was a good and respectful soul in this world, so I do wish him well.

Einstein on Self and the Mystical

“A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.”
-Albert Einstein, 1954

“The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms – this knowledge, this feeling is at the centre of true religiousness.”
-Albert Einstein – “The Merging of Spirit and Science”

This man the father of physics had said a few great one liners but two that stand out are these. He referred to God as the “Old One.” He speaking to other physicists was known to have said during a discussion about the Big Bang Theory in which one scientist said that with enough random events occurring in this pre-millisecond before it happened eureka the right combination occurred; Einstein just plainly said; “God doesn’t roll dice.”

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have captured the most comprehensive picture ever assembled of the evolving Universe — and one of the most colourful. The study is called the Ultraviolet Coverage of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UVUDF) project.

Blessings to you. 😊

Storyteller's Eye

Un Saluto a tutti, Cari Lettori! Non sono quel genere di persona che si limita agli auguri in vista di una festività. Cerco sempre di andare oltre, di non apparire superficiale e scontata. Se analizzassi luci e ombre del mio profilo caratteriale si noterebbe subito il basso attaccamento al pratico e al reale. La mia mente è sempre stata vittima, in senso positivo, di un forte dinamismo, non mi fermo mai all’affermazione fine a se stessa, contemplo e scovo gli angoli più remoti di un aspetto fino a scoprire talvolta sfaccettature completamente nuove. Per questo amo tutto ciò che possa essere definito paranormale, non esclusivamente riferito al repertorio delle figure oltre dimensionali, ma anche nell’ottica di nuovi metodi e scoperte parte della vita quotidiana. Tra gli altri temi di cui volevo approfondire in queste righe troviamo questa branca davvero particolare della psicologia, la parapsicologia appunto. Si tratta di tutti quei…

Zero Lift-Off Only The Beginning

October 25, 2021

Dawn; Lord have Mercy!!! What a Beautiful Story and Surprise! I’ve been behind the curve the last few days getting caught up so could that be why I didn’t see this coming or no matter where I was on the highway I still wouldn’t have had a clue or anticipated such an extraordinary pleasurable experience with glasses on nor if I had telescopic eyes and some advance warning system built-in! It must be your way of making the Trick or Treat Season a “For Real Holiday Treat;” forget the standard concept altogether and bring on the show no trickery needed at all; this is the “Real Deal!” Yes, a haunting and laughing we will go; “Hi Ho the Merry (Mary) oh, no!” Yikes could be a nightmare coming!

Where is Vincent Price when I need him? Met him many years ago and he was cool but creepy in a kind of pleasant way! Because having him talking face to face with me in reality I still couldn’t disconnect that voice and face from my ingrained memories of him being the main character in the great story by one of my favorite horror writers Edgar Allan Poe who wrote “The Pit and the Pendulum” in June of 1842!

I read on a site once that Vincent’s daughter has, and who since wrote a book about her famous spooky Dad in which Victoria Price tells us all about the 65-year career that began with radio and went on to his long list of movie credits and even his Broadway or television performances; but on the site she mentions how he would go Trick or Treating with her and friends when she was a child! So how cool was that; imagine having Vincent Price as your Dad and he is decked out in some costume Trick or Treating with you his daughter! Now that had to be a Treat but just as much a Trick to play on people they would visit if “not expecting” them; when they hear his voice coming from behind a mask; that would make you jump! What a lucky, “Stiff”

I was falling all over the place after reading this Line! From back in 2012 “Underneath the Juniper Tree,” interview!

“Her delightfully warped mind and find out more about her fantastic writing.”

Again; I have to ask now who creeped me out more, Vincent Price or Stephen King, both of whom I met and was taken aback by; or you, who I never met, at least not in person; or in the flesh!!?? Even met Roger Corman in LA at his production office, the director of “The Pit and The Pendulum,” who was a very interesting man, but somewhat odd too, not a mainstream person who found his niche, producing lots of creepy films on the fringe of Hollywood! But, he didn’t spook me out too much either or as I say shock me; or totally catch me “off guard!” You get the spook award as far as I’m concerned!

Then to really be so unanticipated like this; I walked into a doorway that I thought was open and slammed into it face first; finding I had been so wrong! Ha, Ha, Ha!!! But no lumps or a broken nose; so it’s all in good fun after all!

I have to say this is the first Halloween Season that I got a huge “Treat and Trick” at the same moment; which proves “no one can ever be too prepared!” Now I’m finding you’re a composer to boot. another “Shocker” with your “Concert for The Dead!” Never knew I would hear or know about one of those! And “Bloody Mary” sticks in my mind now, as I did know about the Historical Bloody Mary the monarch already, born on February 18, 1516 in Greenwich, England she known as Bloody Mary was the only child of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, as I’m sure you’re aware!!! But of course we can surmise the shame and insecurity she began to develop at 17 years of age with the split of her parents when her father annulled his marriage to her mother, how that was the catalyst or spawning ground of the legend that now still lives all these hundreds of years later in folklore and haunting tales; especially for Halloween, thank you!

Now about the Treat! Good God; I have so much to go over here one thing leading to another with a Halloween compilation of mischievous spooky stories to the “Gala Event” of your Daughter Ariel’s beautiful Soprano performances, that was really “haunting” me in a “Very Good Way” bringing me back to a time in my youth or as a young boy listening to my mother’s singing at home, or in the occasional out of the home performances, with her beautiful Soprano voice; all of which has given me a “Heartfelt Teary Eyed Halloween” and I don’t ever remember having one of those in my whole life; not ever!

Really enjoying my reminiscing of all my Mother’s great singing that “you and Ariel” have conjured up; and now I can listen to Ariel who is still so young like my Mother was in all those memories I have; to again hear those actual memories coming to life not only in my mind, but, “For Real” to watch and listen to here in plain sight; not any “Mirror” trickery involved at all!

Thank you very much Dawn and Ariel!!!

God bless both of you so fully and richly!

Reprise: Concert for the Dead

by Dawn Pisturino on October 24, 2021

Story by Dawn Pisturino.

Dedicated to my daughter, lyric soprano Ariel Pisturino.

Ariel knelt before the marble niche holding the remains of her dead older brother and placed a bouquet of roses in the stone vase. Six months had passed since the horrible night a drunk driver had taken Jonathan’s life. She would never forget.

“Coach Willis still talks about you, Jonathan,” Ariel said, tracing the carved letters of his name with trembling fingers. “Nobody’s beaten your track record. You were the best. You always will be.”

She pulled some sheet music from her backpack. “The opera club is doing Purcell this year. I got the lead role. I’m so excited!” She began to sing:

“When I am laid, am laid in earth, may my wrongs create

No trouble, no trouble in thy breast;

Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate . . .”*

The haunting elegy echoed through the halls of the Great Mausoleum, bringing tears to Ariel’s eyes. As the last melancholy note faded away, the mausoleum doors slammed shut. The lights flickered and dimmed.

Icy panic clawed at Ariel’s chest. She could hardly breathe. Then a long, agonizing scream tore from her throat.

She ran to the entrance and pushed against the heavy metal doors. Locked. She searched for an intercom or emergency button. Nothing.

“Let me out!” she cried, pounding on the door. “It’s not closing time!”

Voices whispered all around her.

“No!” she howled, throwing her weight against the unyielding door.

The whispers grew louder. “We’ll let you out when the concert is over.”

“W-what c-concert?” Ariel stammered, searching the empty air.

“The Concert for the Dead.”

And then she saw them, gliding down the dark corridors, the eerie inhabitants of this condominium for the dead.

They crowded into the main hall, hundreds of them, the ghastly and the beautiful.

Men dressed in military uniforms soaked with blood, arms ripped away, legs shredded at the knees, and heads split open, eyeballs dangling from their sockets.

Women gowned in rustling silk, faded and torn, ringlets framing faces eaten away by worms. Pale young mothers with tragic eyes, carrying shriveled up babies in their arms.

Dead children glared at Ariel with menacing faces, their transparent fingers clutching moth-eaten ragdolls and time-worn teddy bears.

An orchestra appeared. Skeletons with shreds of rotting flesh hanging from their bones. The conductor raised his baton, and the slow, plaintive strains of a violin filled the air. He turned and looked at Ariel with one putrid eye, motioning her to begin.

I know this song. I can do it. Shaking with fear, she dug her fingernails into her palms and began to sing:

“None but the lonely heart can know my sadness

Alone and parted far from joy and gladness . . .”**

She sang until the sun disappeared and the stained glass windows lost their color. She sang until the moon ran its course and the stars began to fade. Finally, her throat too parched and raw to continue, she pleaded:

“The concert’s over. Please let me go.”

Hushed whispers rippled through the audience. Then a lone figure broke through the crowd.

“Jonathan!” Ariel cried, grateful to see a familiar face.

Smiling, he extended his arms to her. “We don’t want you to leave,” Jonathan said, drawing her close. “We want you to sing for us forever and ever and ever . . .”

Cold waxy fingers tightened around her throat. In the background, the orchestra played a quiet requiem.

* * *

When the groundskeeper found Ariel’s body the next morning, he noticed two peculiar things. Her throat was purple with finger marks, and her hair had turned completely white.

This story is dedicated to my daughter, lyric soprano Ariel Pisturino.

The Meaning of the FDA Resignations – A Smoking Gun?

Sure does look like a smoking gun to me or a telltale sign that the bottom is about to fall out of this last ditch effort to hold the original lie together with all of the subsequent ones in some plausible even half-assed way that can be given the right spin, like some news story about a politician that got caught in a compromising position just before the big election and all of the MSM crony puppet pundits hammer and shape all they can, a real lost cause to no avail as heads are about to roll.

When finally someone suggests at least put some lip stick on this pig and see if she flies!

I do declare are my eyes deceiving me; could it really be or is this another TRICK!?

The Most Revolutionary Act

By Jeffrey A. Tucker | Brownstone Institute | September 14, 2021

How significant is it that the two top FDA officials responsible for vaccine research resigned last week and this week signed a letter in The Lancet that strongly warns against vaccine boosters? This is a remarkable sign that the project of government-managed virus mitigation is in the final stages before falling apart.

The booster has already been promoted by top lockdown advocates Neil Ferguson of Imperial College and Anthony Fauci of NIH, even in the face of rising public incredulity toward their “expert” advice. For these two FDA officials to go on record with grave doubts – and their perspective is certainly backed by the unimpressive booster experience in Israel – introduces a major break in the narrative that the experts in charge deserve our trust and deference.

What’s at stake here? It’s about more than the boosters…

Yes Mike, this is the “Dumb Down Generation” with its “Dumb Down Agenda” or better put the Whack-a-mole Liberals trying to make everybody as useless as they are in order to make a better social construct, as they see it!

One where just about anything goes and morals, who needs those anyway when you’re living for pleasure and selfish thinking like Democrats and those Rino’s do, with their mantra, “It’s My Way or the Highway,” none of the Old Time “Tried Tested and Proven” principles of living a “Decent Quality Life;” really don’t matter!

The only catch; is that “my way or the highway” is pretty much the same thing as the “Highway to Hell!”

Yes you liberals; you go boys and girls and good luck with that!

“13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

God bless.

Why are We here; Is it Worth Being Born?

“Total humility is the beginning of acceptance and understanding”

First this life and my thoughts now aren’t about believing in Santa Claus or not!

Let me ask you; do you really prefer to think that not being born would be better for you and your children? Because I can absolutely guarantee you that is exactly what the Devil wants you to believe, that master of all lies wants any of us to think we are defeated before we start. Start what you might say, how about the greatest and most magnificent journey that the brightest of minds couldn’t imagine in a million years! A way for everything to add up and come out perfect! Who else can sort all of this out, but the author of existence, certainly we mere inklings of a shadowy concoction of energy, matter and substance don’t have a fart in the winds chance of coming up with The Solution to all that has, is and will be happening on this planet our home we call earth.

You see I’ve learned that God absolutely exists and God’s purposes and Plans are all that matter not we free willed sometimes foolish, silly or arrogant creations of; His. “Total humility is the beginning of acceptance and understanding” that we are here for a God given reason not our imperfect sometimes self-righteous thinking or vision of what this has to be about living among the dead as we do; for I say to you this isn’t really living not with a price on all of our heads that says nobody gets out alive! We are looking with eyes half shut or in many cases wide shut in which case even though we think they are open they see nothing, not the Truth of God; never really seeing the length and depth of all that is really going on, and is always beyond our grasp; yet it’s as plain and simple as the morning turns to night and after the night a new dawn comes. No degree in rocket science required, only a genuine humble heart on bent knee which will open not only your heart to God but will open up the ultimate world of possibility and endless love! Something must bridge that enormous GAP for us and that can only be the One who set this all in motion to begin with! Being BORN into this at times so chaotic and even rotten world is I assure you a Blessing and no matter who it is or what they have or don’t have being able to exist is our one sure ticket to the Ultimate Destination which is to be with God the One who made this all possible and is always waiting first for our recognition of Him to acknowledge we know we are helpless babes in the woods and need Him above all there is in this existence! That He must be our primary focus and then to learn with His unrelenting undivided help and attention; to Trust in Him! If we are making this connection as individuals that I’m speaking about to you placing Him front and center in our lives, then that will ensure us of our lives being worth something and a whole lot more than we can ever come up with or concoct on our own for being here in the first place!

Life is the most beautiful incomparable gift and blessing of absolute LOVE! We are suffering here and some so much more than others;many through NO fault of their own but the world is riddled with sin and evils that effect even the most innocent among us! What’s fair and fun about that you might ask, and I say not much, that at times to me really sucks, that so much pain and suffering is going on and so many dreams and hopes getting dashed or crushed under the enormous weight and burden of sin, imperfection, stupidity, hate and the list goes on as you are well aware I’m sure! But for this to all get sorted out and for any of us to make heads or tails of it all to try is a fool’s errand, unless we have God on our side; you hear that; God on our side. He actually is, that is why this whole damned world didn’t get wiped away like so much chaff in the wind long ago to our concept of time but a flickering flame to God which He hasn’t extinguished yet! We are absolutely at His Mercy and He wants us with Him in His Glory! How do we get that you might wonder here, we start by wanting Him so badly that it becomes our life force and breath our very REASON for LIVING so we can be a part of His heavenly eternal Glorious and totally wonderful kingdom! I see it clear my friend, we are so lucky to be here and each of us will be nothing but dust these bodies in the end, with our souls damned to oblivion or complete separation from God’s glory, his eternal kingdom; not even being a memory without God setting the record straight and bringing absolute Justice to all things in His good time when it is appropriate for any of us!

Now that was coming from my own heart that God has opened and restored countless times because due to my own errors and shortcomings, He knows I belong to Him though I don’t deserve to in a sense, yet I do; because I decided with my Own Heart that I want to and must if I’m to be worth anything after it’s all said and done and this carcass I occupy is eventually in the dirt where it belongs, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak;” but my soul belongs to Him my Maker, who Gives, who gives all things to those who love Him back! But how much grander is what comes for us if we stay strong in our faith no matter what, and keep Jesus Christ front and center in our hearts and minds!

1 Corinthians 2:9

9 But as Scripture says:

“No eye has seen,

no ear has heard,

and no mind has imagined

the things that God has prepared

for those who love him.”

Love must be a two way street and we can never give a fraction of what God is giving or ultimately offering!

Saint Dismas a scoundrel of a man and bad dude before he met Jesus Christ who was nailed to the cross next to his, he Dismas to the right side of Jesus saw all that transpired that day his final day, when his heart opened up like never before watching this man who said He is the Son of the Father in the heavenly Kingdom saying things like, “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do!” Dismas was so rapt in awe he asked this dying man the Savior to just remember me when you join your Father in Your kingdom. He as then in that moment being honest and humble having admitted he deserved every bit of what he was getting being tied to a cross and crucified for all of his crimes against men as well, wasting his life being a scoundrel, but, then surely as Dismas correctly said to Jesus, in essence his meaning being; you deserve none of what they have done to you, you have to be who you say you are, just by how you are forgiving these same people doing this to you, you have shown not even one complaint or modicum of anger or hatred, you are praying for them instead!

“One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

—Luke 23:39–43 (NIV)
