Welcome!

I, God, welcome you to my blog!

The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.

I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!

F.Y.I. There are about 2200 posts..

Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

Recent spate of Violence

They say it comes in spurts, but is this worldwide, as well?

Chicago, Illinois and Tijuana, Mexico are both in the news for recent gun violence.

Mexican drug gang clashes killed 15 people, on crowded streets of TJ, and injuring who knows.. Drug-related violence is a serious issue across Mexico. Nearly 200 people have been killed in Tijuana this year. I guess it's mostly about funneling Colombian cocaine into California.

Perhaps we should legalize drugs? Have Coca-Cola sell Cocaine? Coke is it.

Chicago police have had to deploy SWAT teams to combat the recent violence, which amounted to 36 shootings last weekend, with 7 fatalities, and 23 dead children this year. Police blame increased availability of weaponry, in which past grievances that would have been resolved through fist fights are now being "solved" by resorting to more deadly modalities of conflict resolution.

Will someone please build and market a boxing rink or something?
