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!

Your pal, Jess

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.

Perfection

"You must be perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect" -Jesus

I just discovered this on Wikipedia, regarding perfection
1. Perfection is a legal term (!!)
2. To truly be perfect, I would have to quote the actual legal wording of the concept, but this is what Wikipedia says about it:

In law, perfection relates to the additional steps required to be taken in relation to a security interest in order to make it effective against third parties and/or to retain its effectiveness in the event of default by the grantor of the security interest. Generally speaking, once a security interest is effectively created, it gives certain rights to the holder of the security and imposes duties on the party that/who grants that security.[1] However, in many legal systems, additional steps --- perfection of the security interest --- are required to enforce the security against third parties such as a liquidator.[2]

Weird, huh?I went to St. Ignatius. We used to chant, "We are. S.I." Were we security interest?

There is an intersection of law and religion that has me a bit disturbed. Perfection, redemption, execution, deeds...I feel certain that there is a subtext to much of the law, and legal terminology.You can of course get personal, and get crazy with it, or take it as far as you want to..

Oh, and that Jesus quote I take to mean as a) you must orgasm like your father (and conceive like he did), or b) you are perfect, because you are already in heaven (the heavens, space), or c) you must die (everyone has original sin, and the wages of sin is death).
