Daily Journal Continued October 8,1998, By-William Thomas Thompson St.John4-1,"When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,2- (Though Jesus himself baptized not,but His disciples)". At least we are out here away from all the gambling race issue on the television, The governor's race is hot and heavy for gambling to win. Our state is corrupt with videopoker already,let the evil be evil but let the saved be saved. We are here this morning on a beautiful beach with fresh crisp air towalk in deep and soft sand of this quiet pleasing place sonear the madbad mob of the airport where we landed,this is a different world of both the most insane and most intelligent people in the world. To walk Manhattan beach is wonderful and to smell the fresh air that seems to blow all of ones troubles away. I want to just stay here and at night coverup in the sand. I really want to be a beachbum especially here where almost nobody is around,I like to be alone and to meditate on the Lord in the great natural light from the blue sky and the heavens above while being free of all the cares for and of this oldworld. We walked up the town's steephill to mainstreet and had breakfast at Uncle John's PancakeHouse across from the Goodstuff Restaurant and again for Lunch outside at Goodstuff,then taking a cab to the Alamo Car rental at LAX where they gave us a bright new Chevrolet van to drive the crowded freeway to San Diego and the border. The trip took 4hours and we arrived after dark to see Tijuana,Mexico. We visited Old Town in San Diego and had a bowl of cornsoup at an Irish Pub open on the street called O"Hungrys where some had beer in mugs 3 feet tall. The shops and galleries were still open,so I did the looking and she did the shopping. We soon took I-05 North to I-405 and stopped at Irvine to use the very clean restrooms at the Hyatt Hotel. We then got lost after we were detoured for that onramp into endless city traffic and miles of roads and many left turns trying to find our way back to the busy freeway for a drive to our home away from home. Parking in a tight garage space,the 2 side mirrors were made to collapse back against the sides. I have trouble with my feet getting hung into the pedal area that is too small because of the front wheelwell taking space away from where my big feet should be,I would never buy one like this because you cannot put but one foot into the pedal area at a time. The danger is present always of having a foot jam accident and crash,why GM? Tomorrow it is Hollywood,the Very Special Arts Gallery,Getty. One day at a time we live our lives and make decisions for right or wrong,good or bad,to serve God or the Devil,we do see the past but not the future. We are blind to truth and do not recognize it when we do hear it or see it. One way or another,we shall pass on this life very soon,we have a soul that lives forever that is our spirit of life and conscious. We are a product of God created for His purpose. We look like God and we should act like God. We must know God by His Holy Name!Let us cry out praise to Him who is our Master,to Him who holds our future. Let us rejoice in the one God of all the earth. Let us sing a song and smile for eternity is so long that we shall live in His presence. Ecclesiastes C12-V7"Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.8-Vanity of vanities,saith the preac- her;all is vanity". Purify us Dear Lord Holy in thy sight I pray.
