Daily journal October 10, 2000, Teaching the Bible, chocolate report,

Ford recall by a court in California by a judge in a civil case because the electric ignition stalls the cars in driving and it has been going on for more than 10 years. With all Ford's troubles with Firestone tires and with brakes like mine, I wonder how they will survive. Today the Japanese head of Firestone flew home to Japan and they replaced him with an American face to run Firestone. A bill is now introduced in Congress to convict anyone that would withhold information causing damage or risk to human life. After so many have been killed with this ignition problem, Ford still maintains that there is no problem of stalling.

They all use the same parts and I suspect this problem is not limited to Ford Motor Co.

Let us pray before we enter one of these vehicles especially the Ford Explorer .

A report on chocolate as being good for you is in question because it has caffeine and sugar. To me anything with sugar is devastating to one's health. NBC can air a program by a medical doctor telling of so many good qualities in chocolate as containing the vital needed minerals such as magnesium and copper. I cannot believe that the overall results are good. This is another day that we must start all over to preserve our bodies by the exercise and practice breathing deep. Another day and another half of grape fruit or an orange for vitamin C as our daily requirement. Today is another day to forgive and forget the unpleasant and remember the pleasant. Today is the day of worship as is everyday as we live to worship God and to give to our neighbor, our time and material things. Today is an opportunity to make friends and to smile and to help someone as we help ourselves.

There is so much to talk about and warn of that I tend to minimize prayer. Let us pray.

The trip across town and a stop at the Fine Arts Center of Greenville County schools to see their gallery and to visit with Mr. Jim Campbell. I learn so much from these friends in the arts and I am inspired to paint the world that it may be a better place of knowledge and understanding. A picture is worth a thousand words and more. I asked if all their students are trained to be and will be artist, the answer was no. I see so much more happening now in arts education than a few years ago. They bus in students of all ages from the entire county for two hours per day of art studies and other activities. Some of the work by students I consider to be very great. Will we have more artist in the future?

The article on my art is now confirmed by Raw Vision magazine of London to appear in their next issue in December. A book of my work is planned to follow thereafter in 2001. My Revelation Revealed II in Zurich is now confirmed to go to West Africa to Logos, Nigeria to the West Africa Bible College to be used in their studies. They plan to build a 2200 seat tabernacle on campus and to place the painting therein. May it serve there...

I find on the Internet under outsider art a new museum of outsider art in Moscow, Russia. I've tried to e-mail them but it does not go through. It is in St. Petersburg that a building complex exist that is compared to the Palace of Versailles in France near Paris. This is a happy day with weather so moderate in the 70's and sunshine with such beautiful apples appearing on the stands although Apple's seem to be too sweet for me and affecting my feeling overall and my performance in terms of production. I may be sensitive to food but I believe the same foods affect everyone in some small way if they realize it. I will begin to teach more Bible in my daily journals because after all, it is the living Word of God. The Word of God is unfolding to me greater than ever before and I rejoice in the Lord because He is apart of my daily life, my source. We are created in God's image.
