I’m blessed with a beautiful audience. Thank you for gracing my website. We share a spiritual connection through the ether. I’m overwhelmed by the kindness and humor found in Sean’s blog. Sean and his commenters have taught me that it’s possible to love others and them love you back even over the metaphysical aspect of… Continue reading Web Friends

Truth is the MOST important ingredient of Ed’s Art Net… Heck, the whole Universe! I don’t struggle with truth but I struggle with fluid and uncluttered thinking, especially when writing. It’s a gene thing but it’s okay! I think that I’m getting better at writing and I’m feeling better mentally these days. Probably because I… Continue reading Sean of the South

I believe God’s got interactive helpers. There’s been numerous times when I felt that I have an angel looking out for me. Three stand out. 1. I was with my two young friends, Stanley and Butch. We were “swimming” in Lake Allatoona. My swim skills were limited to getting wet, so we were standing neck… Continue reading Angel

I was born in the same year that the original sci-fi movie, “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” was released. Being bipolar disordered, this knowledge triggered mild temporary delusional mania in my grand little illusionary brain… It’s soon squelched after a quick smile. This website effectively documents a child’s unanswered prayer.I walk under God’s wing.… Continue reading Growing Up

I’m like the 9 year old in your family that wants to gain your interest by banging his own little wacky doodle head with a soft plastic toy bowling pin.🤪 My grandparents made an 8mm movie reel of me doing just that. I’ve known for a very long time that my “attic” is full of… Continue reading Bipolar

Suicide is the mental equivalent of a terminal physical disease. It’s not a willful act to “commit” suicide. “Commit suicide” is a misnomer because it indicates that the victim was in control.  At that emotionally extreme point, the victim is not in control. The illness is in control. Suicide is the triumph of a disease… Continue reading Suicide

Harmony When I was young, creating art and music was all consuming. I painted on my bedroom walls, ceiling and anything else that was handy. I played my second hand black Harmony 1950s model semi hollow body electric guitar every available moment. Music and art flowed from me like rain off the Appalachian Mountains! As… Continue reading “AllSpark”

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” James 1:22 NIV God has a plan. He loves us all. His plan is proof… His good and perfect plan! He spells His plan out for us many times over. His messaging is broadcast multiple times throughout Scripture and Nature. Sometimes we miss… Continue reading Audience

As far as I know, nothing is as inevitably constant as death. We cannot bank with any assurance on any of “life’s” adventures. Most often we haven’t a clue what’s around the next corner. We frequently wing it when it comes right down to it. Discovery is inspiration for the wandering soul. Not so with… Continue reading Death

Is God real? How can God be so lovingly interpersonal and yet have built the vast, incredibly beautiful, and self-propagating living mind-boggling universe? How can He briefly touch us so humanly intimately and yet be so much incredibly more than a short-lived human? The answer is found within. At first, God doesn’t speak or show… Continue reading The Twig

There’s something incredible about life Since the first humans were formed, we have been propagated from a mix of the male and female. A brand new human life starts inside the mother as soon as her fertilized egg begins to multiply cells. We learn this at a very early age. Life is hard Our western… Continue reading Life Choice

“When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually? Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil? When he has leveled the surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? Does he not plant wheat in its place, barley in its plot, and spelt in its field? His God instructs him… Continue reading The Plow

Why are some folks empowering criminals? That’s irrational. Criminals are dangerous and destructive. Social misfits. Doesn’t everyone know that? They do evil things to others. Criminals hurt others. Many criminals cannot be rehabilitated and giving them freedom from deterrents gives them more power to do evil. Why do I feel the need to spell out… Continue reading Guns

if the moon were to speak would it not be humbling… all our howlingrebounding… For the benefit of anyone who would like an explanation, the above poem suggests what we might collectively feel like when an advanced intelligence physically visits our mostly self focused little “pale blue dot” of a planet. They could be from… Continue reading Why on Earth

Have you ever gazed into a clear atmosphere nighttime star filled sky? It’s quite a humbling experience. Not unlike the self awareness that life breathes into us. You may have to study the naked-eye depth of the heavens for just a bit to gain its full affect.  So many stars. So far away. Unreachable by… Continue reading OuterSpace

Memories are made up of what we don’t forget! That’s a basic simple truth. And if your past the age of twelve you understand what I mean.  Love begets love… another basic simple truth. The best thing about growing up is the fond memories. The worse thing is the arthritis. One of my favorite memories… Continue reading Memories
