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.

Hubris

What gumption, right?

Seriously, folks- we're all God
'hubris' definition: wanton insolence or arrogance resulting from excessive pride or from passion.

I've got passion, but I'm not insolent or arrogant, no?

Definition of a Vampire

I wrote this, back when I was into vampires

Vampire
blood-sucking foul demon of the night, fanged fiend of the dominion of darkness, satan's minion, lord lucifer's lapdog, the devil's depraved demon of death and darkness, creature of the night, beelzebub's beastly brethren, monster of madness, evil enemy of everyone, hateful hound of hell, ruthless unstoppable merciless killing machine, immortal judge of the unworthy, vicious vanquisher of vapid victims, on the prowl for a gal pal, death incarnate, savage satanic slaughterer of souls, rotten revenant of wrath, crafty cruel craven killer.

kind of funny, I think

Virgin birth

I think I've got it figured out

Heard of sleepwalking? Well, there's also sleepsex.

If BOTH partners had sex while they were asleep, well there you have it.
Pretty unlikely, I'll give you that.
With God, all things are possible, lol.
God is all about mind control.

Christ set a bad example

According to the Relaxation and Stress Workbook...

Irrational Idea number 8 is:
-You need something other or stronger or greater than yourself to rely on.
It goes on to say,
This belief becomes a psychological trap in which your independent judgement, and the awareness of your particular needs are undermined by a reliance on higher authority.

Plus, you don't want to suffer for other people's sins.
Passion should be full of ecstasy and loving emotion, and nothing like being nailed to a cross.
Right??

The other (20) irrational ideas are:
-It is an absolute necessity for an adult to have love and approval from peers, family and friends.

-You must be unfailingly competent and almost perfect in all you undertake.

-Certain people are evil, wicked, and villainous, and should be punished.

-It is horrible when people and things are not the way you would like them to be.

-External events cause most human misery- people simply react as events trigger their emotions.

-You should feel fear or anxiety about anything that is unknown, uncertain, or potentially dangerous.

-The past has a lot to do with determining the present

-Happiness can be achieved by inaction, passivity and endless leisure.

-You are helpless and have no control over what you experience or feel.

-People are fragile and should never be hurt.

-Good relationships are based on mutual sacrifice and a focus on giving.

-If you don't go to great lengths to please others, they will abandon or reject you.

-When people disapprive of you, it invariably means you are wrong or bad.

-Happiness, pleasure and fulfillment can only occur in the presence of others, and being alone is horrible.

-You shouldn't have to feel pain, you are entitled to a good life.
