Daily journal January 2, 2001, Traditional beans and greens here on New Year's Day.

If a man is lazy he will not get unlazy, of course, he will get more lazy as time goes on. Will an ugly person get prettier over the years, chances are they will get uglier over the years. Only God can change a heart and make a lazy man smart. Only God can make an ugly person pretty and a stupid person smart. Who are God's people? If a person smokes, they smell and they favor smoke. If you smoke or drink, forget eating healthy because it is all negated already. Good health is a consistent road of living right and eating right.

Yesterday we had a tradition New Year's meal of beans and greens and I enjoyed it so much and I could not wait to eat up the leftovers at the evening meal vegetarian. I feel good and the meals were totally sugar free with organic corn meal for cornbread having no flour or sugar added. The Hog House and Ham House were closed for the holiday and that is a good thing. The red tomatoes gave those pinto beans such a delightful taste and we had a salad like made in heaven which included particles of celery and green pepper.

I have received such great response from the West Coast applauding the Raw Vision Art Magazine article. If people are touched and moved by nine pages, what would they be by an entire book describing the work in more detail. 1 e-mail received I will share with you as it seems to come from a poet via Pacific Bell-"kind Mr. Thompson, thanks and praises for your true vision and spiritual insight, you are a worker building a staircase the way to heaven and your paintings or the elevator! they transport us and touch us, take us to the river and wash us, heal us in the currents of Divine tide. Thank-you. Someday I would be honored and overjoyed to have some of your paintings to show me the way that grows in my heart! Spirit". I am pleased to hear this and see this response to the article. The art seemed to speak the message loud and clear without any words written of explanation.

It is said that pork is eaten on New Years day because a hog never looks back. The foot ball player from Charlotte N.C., nearby, who saved the British Airways plane from crashing by tackling the Kenyon to pull him off the controls is 6 ft. 7 in. tall and testified that this was an absolute miracle of God that caused him to instinctively enter the cockpit and engage the man. He used the word Divine intervention to describe his motivation to save himself and all on board giving credit to God for the strength and power he had to react in this time of crisis having seen the ground coming up so fast. We're living in a most uncertain world with confusion on every hand and one-third of nations are at war either internally or with their neighbors. We have no sure future, our motives are misguided and we are divided by those on earth who have a secret agenda to accomplish their own cause. Let us cry out to God now in prayer while we have life and a choice to seek the lord God for all matters of need. If you have taken anything legally or illegally from another human being outside the law of God, then return it immediately. Dear Lord, save us from a confused nation of twisted law and from a Hollywood that is straight out of hell. Make us free from the tie that binds us and hinders us from living as happy and free. May we seek thy face and love and serve thee without question and may we be content in all of our ways to live obedient to all of your ways in a Christian life.

The Holy Pope is shown blessing the massives and having mass which is a mess defying every purpose of Christ. Be not deceived by men in white robes reciting religious praises with statues to worship while denying and preventing true cause. Revelation 2-21"And I gave her space to repent of her fornication:and she repented not.22-Behold I will cast her into a bed,and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they rep.”
