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
I'm a straight, virgo/boar INTJ (age 53) who enjoys books, getting out into nature, music, and daily exercise.

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.

What is Sin?

Sin is breaking God's law

That's the answer, in a nutshell, in a soundbite, in a word.
God's law could be "do good, always", or all the stuff in the bible or koran, for example.
It could be going against MY morality
Or, it could be breaking your own personal morality (not having integrity)
It could be ANYthing that is against ANYone's morality...
such as your parent's morality or your spiritual leader's morality
or the collective moralities of the entire human race!
(is that what original sin is?)
If you're morality is exactly the same as that of the law, then sin is crime
(although I heard there's a legal distinction between 'illegal' and 'criminal')

Mainly, I'd say sin is anything you feel guilty about.

Go in peace, your sin is forgiven you!
Be pure at heart from now on. There is no try, there is only do!
(do you really believe "it's all good" ?)
