Welcome to Ed’s blog! Words are a celebration of God’s gifts. Love works when nothing else does. Scientists heartily pursue a grand unified field theory. It’s the holy grail of physics. I like to think that many “commonologists” would love to see a grand unified spiritual truth in religion. If we truly love our neighbors,… Continue reading Foreword

Off Grid
Updated 24 September 2023 “Off grid” is a term indicating non conforming. It’s used for example, to describe a CAD datapoint that’s outside the established computer design coordinate system. It’s also used to categorize people who live in the wilderness independent from mainstream society. In Words, I write some about my spiritual thinking. I have… Continue reading Off Grid
Overcoming
Updated 24 September 2023 I think humanity’s worst enemy is moral division. The Devil doesn’t like it when we’re kind to each other. He throws fear, jealousy, envy, pride, egotism, paranoia (same as fear), apathy, discontent, worry (same as fear), inferiority, superiority, greed (especially greed) at us. And everything else he’s got to combat kindness. Satan is… Continue reading Overcoming

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

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for [some] evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it… Continue reading Jesus

Updated 16 September 2023 We are one human race made up of billions of INDIVIDUALS. We each have unique thoughts, so having different detail beliefs about God is expected. If we think rationally about one another’s cultural inheritance and respect that we each have unique life experiences. We question the “only Christians make it to… Continue reading Foundation
Love
Updated 16 September 2023 Sometimes the best path is a new one. Love works when nothing else does. It has always been a mental wrestling match with me that people seem to compete between religions and even within a same religion for who’s the most “right”. Finding a common ground point is something I’d always… Continue reading Love
Matter of Color
James was the half brother of Jesus Christ. Of all the Bible authors, he may have had has most intimate mortal relationship with Jesus. I think we learn from James what it was like growing up with Christ. “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to… Continue reading Matter of Color
