My Thoughts on a Warm Wednesday Evening. Top Story - March 2024. Content Warning.
I was hoping today, after a tired day, you would help me prepare for my mother's birthday surprise. A candle would've sufficed. Instead, you watched TV, loudly, looked disinterested and then reprimanded me for sharing my feelings.

Forgive me Father for I Have Sinned
Do you ever just...have those moments where you reflect on all the terrible things you've done in your life? Or re-think social interactions and consider how you acted, say behaved and didn't like who you were then, and question whether you're still that person now? I know us humans are flawed creatures, and sometimes if not more but less than most, we are tainted as well as blessed.

Kleptomaniac
Stealing, often perceived as a mere transgression, can evolve into a gripping compulsion, akin to an addiction that seeps into the very fabric of one's existence. My journey through the labyrinth of compulsive stealing began in my early teens, a tumultuous period where the allure of colorful trinkets and illicit acquisitions proved too potent to resist. What started as a casual act of pocketing a bar of chocolate escalated into a consuming pattern of theft, leaving me ensnared in a web of shame, guilt, and paradoxical satisfaction.

Heaven is Real
I am Earl Chapman and I experienced heaven. I never was born with a disease. I never grew up with a disease. All my life I have been healthy and stable. I mean I had a cold now and then but I was never so sick that I thought I could not get well. And I always wondered about heaven ever since I was a little boy. I imagined it and get excited about it in church as the pastor preached about it and as I read Revelation. I know I am a long way's off and a long way sojournering. I know my grandparents got there when I was young even at their funeral. I know my father got there a few years ago. And just recently my mother got there. As everyone else I tried to be a good Christian. I tried to love everybody and treat everybody right. I tried to help the poor and suffer not the little children. I tried to help whenever I can and however I can. I truly love my neighbor. Probably because I wish that I had brothers and sisters but I am grateful Mom and Dad showed me enough love to provide and protect me. What a gift of God!. I was just doing the normal things and living right. There was no care. There was no worry. Every morning trying to do something good and trying to make it to the pearly gates. And I was never late to my job not ever. I was a role model employee. I worked hard for what I got because I was grateful for life. I was grateful living. Then I got in this horrible accident while walking and hiking and smelling the fresh air of winter. I was ran over but I lived. I was hospitalized for many months as my cousins and aunts and uncles tried to give me hope. Then it happened I dream of heaven. I had an out of body experience where I was being carried by angels. The angels were fun, adorable and loving. They gently whisper to me and calm my fears. They said Earl you worked hard enough. You loved hard enough. Now it's time to see him. But I explained that I still could do more. I cried that I could still do more. I don't wanna die yet. And the angels said But he's waiting for you waiting to see you and waiting to talk to you. And I said But I am not ready I haven't prepared I haven't got ready I don't know if I am right enough. And they said The Master knows. And after we were finished having a conversation. I saw the pearly gates shining and bright and oh oh how glorious the land and the rivers flowing with milk and honey, the pure waters and there was a man-like angel. And he wore a crown I believe it was Jesus. And he hugged me so tight and kiss my cheek and said well done. But I cried to him and said but I am not finish. And he said I am not finish with you either. But you earned it earned the right to be my heir you earned the right to see heaven and one day you will enter one day you will see. And he brought my mother and father and they look young about 30 or 40 years old. I cried Mom is that you. Dad is that you. And they cried and hug me and said Heaven is a wonderful place. We love you. We miss you. And other family down the years gathering and I could not count all the hugs and lovely words that they said. As I dreamed of Heaven, I was in a slight coma on earth as I woke the doctors and my cousins and aunts and uncles cried as I spoke. And I said I saw heaven and tried to explain to them the wonderful things. They laughed and were interested. I said The Master said I would get better and finish the things I wanted to get done. He just wanted me to see that Heaven is real. Then as I did more and more good works. I saw this poor man and took him out for a meal. And we talked over and over again. And he shook my hand and something change my heart and my mind. I tried to follow him but he disappear. And I knew that it was an angel. And Heaven is real was real real to me and in my heart and it will be forever real Heaven will be with me wherever I go.

Royal Match
Have you ever played a match 3 mobile game? Odds are that if you've ever owned a tablet or smartphone, you have. But, in the very odd chance that you've been living under a rock since 1995 and have never heard of such things, match 3 games are fairly straightforward. They're exactly what they sound like: you have a grid of colorful tiles, which you simply swap to form a chain of three or more of the same tiles in a row. After you make a certain number of matches required to pass a level, you are usually given some kind of reward - coins, gems, etc. - and move on to the next level.

Into the Pits and Out of the light
The End or The Beginning Now, I know I ended with the title "Final Chapter?", to be frank, I thought it was the end for me. I know I sound dramatic, "It's just one dude, and there are so many others out there, you are just desperate." and to that, I will say yes, you are right, there are so many fishes in the sea and to be in love with a man that I had known for little over two months is called for desperation, maybe even obsessive at that. But I never said this story was going to make sense, after all, there is the truth and there is the love.

Who Says
It appears as though some may have utilized information regarding spirituality, growth, self-development, etc. as a means to put others down. Mostly, it appears as though there are attempts to correct the beliefs or actions of others on the premise that the one doing the correcting "knows better". The messages being delivered seem to be tailored to appear non-judgemental. At other times the overall essence of these messages seem to be saying "not that but this". While these messages don't appear to have any negative sentiment behind them, the intent behind it all is still there. Not one of us here is in the position to correct another individual. We cannot assume to know anyone's intent or motive (just as I may be doing now). Half of the time most individuals on this planet don't have a clue as to why they do the things that they do.
