downtime can be good sometimes comcast FINALLY showed up today. i will skip the details, i could not even explain how messed up they are, and it would make me crazy(er) to even try. suffice to say that i am FINALLY back on line. hopefully for a while. not having internet for this last week has been maddening. i use magicjack for a VOIP phone, and so it meant i had no phone either. i have an obamma welfare phone, but i only get 100 minutes a month and that was long gone for july. i felt disconnected and deaf and dumb all week. however, i found that i really didn't need the internet as much as i thought i do. to avoid thinking about it i kept myself busy. boy did i keep myself busy. i nearly finished the basement finishing touches that i had been sysematically putting off since the winter. i got around to a kabillion other projects around here that i had procastinating. i played my guitar a whole lot and spent a lot more time than i usually do playing with malvin, and he has been responding really well to the extra attention. i also opened my bible for the first time since seminary. i read all of ezekiel, because people have wrongly argued that it contains the story of the devil falling to earth. i knew they were wrong, but i was a little fuzzy on the details of that book. not anymore. i also read all the NIV study notes for it. i am about half through the gospel of John now, and i am reading the study notes too. i had never before realized that andrew, one of his first disciples was originally a disciple of john the baptist. according to the study notes, john, the disciple jesus loved, was also likely a john disciple. i never before made the connection that andrew was peter's brother either. additionally, i have been making some serious headway giving up two of my nastiest addictions; pop and pot. i have been only drinking soda with lunch and supper all week. for the last few years, i had been drinking at least ten cans a day or so. i feel so much better without it, and been drinking a lot of water. i think all that caffiene was messing with me too. i feel calmer. |

the story of satan falling from heaven DOES exist, it is just not in the bible. i have searched for it in a scholarly fashion for a research paper. it is in the quaran, NOT the bible. there is also a similar story of an angel falling from heaven in one of the many books of enoch. but his name was not satan or any other facsimilie, and it is NOT the popular story that the quaran uses. it is more like a sgt. peppers acid trip story. this angel tries to 'put his cloud above god,' and god banishes him to earth. this was likely written durring the dysporia. i like (or am afraid of) the way ezekial has to bodily embody the prophesies god gives him. like god uses the death of his wife for a prophesy. jeremiah also does some bodily stuff, and isaiah too. i think isaiah had to go naked for a long time to prove a point of his prophesy.
