I almost died twice in 2025. January and August. Like hospital death bed. I would utter the Lord’s Prayer, Hail Mary, Jesus Prayer over and over. When my fever was over 104 I passed out. (I had sepsis). I saw my recently deceased, deeply Catholic grandma but she was younger from when I was a child. I saw her chihuahua Bambi at her feet. She was cooking in the kitchen like always, and I was in her inground pool in the backyard with my brothers and cousins. I awoke and my fever broke. The mortality rate of someone with Lupus and getting sepsis is 20%-50%. I shouldn’t be here. Jesus healed me twice because the infectious disease doctor had no clue how I survived. I was so healed I was able to go back to my life only after 2 days after almost dying. This happened twice mind you. I am now still dealing with “Rhupus” (rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus) and have good days and bad, but I will do everything to make the best of the chances God has given me.

Imagine my shock, multiverse edition.

Chuck Norris just passed away. I loved his movies growing up. White dudes that know Kung Fu are a treasure.

The Afterlife

Look into the Book of Abraham. The LDS purchased Egyptian papyrus from a traveling merchant and Joseph Smith is said to have interpreted it ( I think in 1842)as The Book of Abraham and written in Abraham’s own hand. It was canonized in 1880. Later egyptologists translated what was left of the papyrus and it turned out to be the Egyptian book of the dead and other funeral rites but BYU professors today jump through hoops trying to defend it was actually written by Abraham and that Smith had the power to translate ancient Egyptian.

America will bitterly regret the Mormon takeover. Psychopaths who will do and say anything.

I guess I’ll dip my toes back into the water and unlock my account. A lot has happens since I locked it and I haven’t really said much but I hope my mutuals and good pals that still follow me since 2015 are well. I still can’t get my old account back after several appeals over the years.

When I was searching still (raised Roman Catholic but transferred to Byzantine Catholic 10 years ago) I visited a Lutheran Church and after service my father and I introduced ourselves to the pastor and we got talking. I told him I went to college for biblical studies and his face lit up and said something like, “ Wow you know we really are having a tough time getting pastors and you are young and it’d be great thing to help us.” I’m like bro, I’m just checking you out and now you wanna hire me after a 15 minute conversion.

Well, at least for once you’re not bitching that all we do is study theology and then make ridiculous assertions like we don’t even read the Bible. Still wrong though. Our church requires a 1 to 3 year catechesis before we baptize people. The Lutheran Church doesn’t do anything like that at all.

Orthodox Bros be like, "hey man don't worry about knowing stuff, just pray the Jesus prayer."

Extremely upsetting. Angers me to the core. I have a memory foam mattress. Restoration Hardware bed. Pillows with cooling gel. Pure satin sheets with silk pillowcases. And somehow they are all sleeping more soundly than I do. I’ve tried everything to beat insomnia and they just sleep like babies on the cold concrete with funny spaceship blankets looking like poptarts. Life is so unfair.

No comprendo

You’ll never be American.

You mean Good Will Smith?

Hey guys. Still here. Still private.

He’s reading Baudelaire again……. And thinking about the Atlantians.

Thing is if I write I will have to tell the truth because what’s the point if I’m going to be lying? This could impact a lot, but the pond is freezing over and I just need to step on the ice.

I need to write. I haven’t written in years and I can feel the damn breaking.
