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.

Saying 'Yahweh' Prohibited?

The Pope's recent decree: As a sign of utmost respect (for an unpronouncable word, too), it's not to be said (during services).

Christmas dinner informed me of this recent Catholic directive.
Actually, I thought they were saying Catholics weren't supposed to ever say the word again, for some reason.

Me being crazy, I thought it might have had something to do with the JW's, or the Pope thinking YHWH was dead in this day and age and there's a new God, or even a kind of chess move against my silly blog nuttiness (I'm crazy enough to think the Pope reads my blog, lol), but it turns out he's just staying true to what he's pretty certain was the original intent of the hebrew, which was to omit the vowels, have it as an unpronounceable (or of undefined pronunciation) written-word-only name of God, which by tradition in Judaism (the religion of Jesus....are we all Jews now?) went translated as other stuff.

Extra, extra, read all about it.
