Daily Journal Continued May 02,1999, By-William Thomas Thompson Whether you stand before millions or minister to one singleperson in your life.it does not matter if you are obeying God and stand-ing for the Word of God,we are all of the family of God unless we are of the family of satan. Our name is nothing but God is almig-hty and His name has power. Call on Him and find and know Him as in this power. We are weak but God is strong and all things were created by Him. God's creation goes on and on creating new things that we see,eat and enjoy each day. Let us never forget the Lord. A report today that kids of smoking moms turn out bad?whysmoke? While innocent animals die for no reason at all and people killed in the world of war everyday,cigarette suckers thump their butts where ever they dunk them without considering that some poor soul must pick them up. The worlds most inconsiderate people are smok-ers who do not give a rip who they kill as they kill themselves. People who suck cigarettes and blow smoke in the face of family and others within range are to be pitted as stupid idiots but its time to put their fire out. Water them down or stomp them out or do something to stop them before they kill themselves,their fam-ilies,friends and others. Every puff is a puff toward hell where all burn but do not burn up. Let people stand up and put smokers down and out of the suffering and killing business. They are the most unworthy people who consider not others but let the wicked weed addict them to habit,a smoker is a one handed person and he or she endangers their self and all others with the treat of fire now and slow death later by cancer. Smoking is for summary death. This is the day of the Lord in our book as the first day of the week we observe as our Sabbath. The 7th day is a day of rest and is ordered by God in one of the 10 commandments. Rest and obey on the Sabbath Day. The modern church would have you come early and stay late to boost and boast of their numbers and tithes collect-ed so they can build bigger towers to themselves and praise them-selves more than God. The church is money minded like a business. It is all too much to operate under,let them have it all. This blood sucking government and the people that work for them. Federal employees work to serve self by rules that no business in the world could survive. All government workers are taking advan-tage of the taxpayer and will ride that mule to death before get-ting off. Federal workers are not subject to Social Security tax, the only workers exempt. They have something better at your expe-nse. Mandatory Social Security is like modern law,it is unconsti-tutional. Law officers violate the verything they are sworn in by everyday. They are not taught the constitution like doctors are not taught health,only sickness. This republic will not survive because it is not a republic today. History records all those in time that went down the drain by the very same methods as we have in walking on peoples rights. I do believe we live in endtimes. I believe time will be no more,that we have reached that fulfillme-nt Revelation ch-10,verse-6."that there shall be time no longer:" We donot know what is in our food even if we buy it at the HFS. I ate another plain bowl of rice tonight and a glass of buttermi-lk. I had trouble sleeping. Tell me out there,was is buttermilk?

The Las Vegas Art Museum is planning to publish my work from last Summers show in a book including a fold out cover showing the 300 foot painting of Revelation. This will be out later this year. My painting of Revelation will show this Fall in St.Louis at the City Museum,701 15th Street and maybe in Paris for the New Years going into the year 2000. I am very pleased. Dr. Carol Crown at the University of Memphis has written extensively about it. She saw this painting in Atlanta and came to Baltimore to see it. The South Carolina State Museum has now acquired 6 of my paint-ings of Revelation scenes on the heavier canvas and stretchers in size 3x4 feet. These look good without frames with black borders. These paintings will be in their permanent collection and they will feature my work in this years end of this century show and catalog of 100 years and 100 artist of the 20th century. I hope you will come to this event on May 8th and 9th. I found the End is Near book in stock in Borders Books in Honolulu and ask them about a book signing. They were interested with 4 stores in the islands and 1 in Hong Kong also in Australia. I told Steve and suggested he have a major book signing and promotion at AVAM. Enclosed is a picture of my peach painting. Also my new corrected journal certain pages. I hope to complete it soon. What do you think about the possibility of publishing it?
