Daily Journal December 31, 1997, William Thomas Thompson. We cannot stop time or slow it down, so we must make the best of every minute of time. We should take all time serious. When my time is taken advantage of I am upset. If I wish to waste my time and do whatever, then I want to decide for myself and not just be where someone else wants to put me or for any selfish reason. I may have been guilty of letting people wait to see me back when I was somebody, God forgive me. When someone says to me, have a seat, I say no thank you. If I have an appointment and I am on time, I do not wish to wait. The medical establishment is famous for taking advantage of people and their time. Take a good look around you, you will never see this day again or this minute of time. Let us harvest during harvest time. Let us utilize time." Psalms 7-9 "Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end" The world is preparing to celebrate a new year in a drunken state of mind. It matters not to the celebrators if their Titanic sinks tomorrow; they have that endless taste to celebrate for no reason. Why should the conduct of human beings concern me? I am more than just a concerned citizen; I care about the overall welfare of mankind body and soul. We are a very arrogant society headed for a record and permanent disaster, yet no one cares. We have now moved from an independent nation to a dependent nation of people slaved with our money and our military committed to foreign powers. All this has taken place in this century and we are asleep. God help. How long Dear Lord will the wicked rule on the earth? Give grace. Progress is being made with the bus with cleaning and painting the outside, with changing all filters including the fuel filter. To sand, prime and spray paint all rust spots including the roof and the fixing of the automatic gear shift as I believed could be done was very simple. I have begun to spray paint background inside the bus on the ceiling to make it a sky. There is so much space to paint inside the bus including the seats and backs of seats that are all aluminum panels in perfect shape. I cannot wait to see the finished product inside and out. We are getting more fixed and working on the bus daily, the motor sounds great. Spread the gospel with art and save the people at any cost. This is New Years Eve and the tide changes the later the day becomes. There is a safety concern with the drug of alcohol being sold on every street corner in the nation. I cannot believe the state license dealers to sell the stuff and then arrest them for drinking it. The drug of alcohol kills more people than all other ways to die. More alcohol will be consumed tonight than any other day of the year. Alcohol is wrong, why make it legal? Tobacco also. Let us not think we can drive the roads at anytime safely. These killers are out there 24 hours daily but double maybe triple on New Years Eve night. Sellers are not without blame before God. The state shares the sin and the tax money is blood red. It is my mission in life I believe to paint the big picture of where we are and who we are. I paint fast and furious. The world may not be ready to see themselves like they really are, as ugly as the picture is. May I, O Lord be brave to paint the truth. III John 4, "I have greatest joy when my people walk in truth". Most of this great art was painted by great artist of the 15th century forward in the tradition of Rome. Martin Luther started a revolution in 1517 A.D. condemning the doctrine of the ruling church. This is the protestant movement. This Wednesday morning our son-in-law Marc is in the hospital with a serious attach of asthma. The weather is dark raining and cold. I am meeting 2 men out at the bus, one to clean and one to mechanic. The rain is a flood making it hard, very hard to do the work needed on the bus to start it running. A lot of soap was put on the bus and the rain was washing it off.
