Oh Spiritual Dog

I am a single man, endowed by the spirit of God so gracious, full of peace and happiness for that reason alone.

I will not lie. There are remembered pleasures and there will be more in this world that have spent my time, have tripped my emotional trigger fired and shot me to smile. There are nerve endings that I've only the appreciation and awe to say have left me shocked. I will not lie, I remember.

In fairness to my conscience though, I have only been unhinderedly happy, that is to say, without any soulish disappointment when my joys, my experiences, my pursuits of emotion and touch were intimately entwined with that Eternal Divine Spirit who resides within my members so silently and passionately.

That same Spirit you have if you are His. So silent and passionate is His stay, His humble wait for our adherence to His lead. So soft is His holy, expectant, POWERFUL, whispering voice to we insolent medium who, though we are equipped to "see, do not perceive; and hear but do not understand; and who's hearts are hardened." And so it is that I thank God we have each other.

For we have the same Spirit who grants us many of the same thoughts and same insights and has granted us all the same truth from His same revelation; our experiences are vastly different though very much the same when all is put to parts. You've been given voices as I to speak, and on many occasions have not delivered me, your brother, a fellow heir in this grace of life to cheap living, inadequacy, and anything that isn't peace and fullness and truth.

I love your rebukes, your words, your friendships; more than that, I benefit from them. Thank you. I was reading Montaigne yesterday when I decided I didn't like him all that much, but I did benefit from him as well this one bit from a section called, "On Liars." It read, "better is the company of a dog with whom I am familiar than a man whose language I cannot understand."

And with that I leave you all,



If you are one born again to new life in the Spirit through the asking of Jesus for it, we have the same Spirit that we've receive upon salvation, we speak the same language. Thank you for those of you not being as foreigners to me, or worse as mongrel dogs, but peers under truth in the same Spirit. My love to you all,
