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.

Rufus, the Goofy Sufi

dog goes woof, magician goes poof!

Sufism is "islamic mysticism", or "the inward dimension of islam"-

"revolving from right to left, around the heart, the semazen embraces all humanity with love"
(whirling dervishes)

what happens if you revolve from left to right? says the warlock! (j/k)

not a sect, but an order, of any muslim denomination.
(longing for union with God)

By the way,
Upon reflection, I don't REALLY consider God to be everything and anything.   Or Allah to be All.   (If reality is all the God there ever is, then God is sometimes a dick).   Or that evil doesn't exist, or the word is meaningless, or anything like that.  (such as It's all good, or nothing is sinful, "all right").  There's no devil, just God when he's drunk? lol

If goodness were all-encompassing, there wouldn't be a need for religion in the first place.  Sin wouldn't be a thing, and there would be no need for forgiveness.  Dungeons and hell and torture and cruelty are not Godly.

That is all.
