Jesse's Blog: In God We Trust

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.

In God We Trust

aka, Self-Reliance

After all, in the American tradition, according to Ben Franklin:
"God helps those who help themselves"

everyone knows that joke about there being a flood...the priest refuses the first boat, saying God will save him, and then again, twice more, then he drowns, and asks god why he didn't save him and God says, I sent you a boat 3 times. Ha.
