I had a dream about an English Bachelor vampire who lived in peace and relative poverty or obscurity with his premonition vision having human friend in a small fortlet/castle on a tiny (less than a ache) close offshore island from the British main islands (1/4 mile), set in the Victorian era. The vampire was a collector of small non precious artifacts and would periodically have them delivered by schooner or brig. He was also fond of hosting guests and visitors. One such set were a group of relic hunters pretending to be traveling entertainers who robbed the safe in the fort. The robbery was solved/foiled by the vision having friend. What was a theft mystery became a murder mystery as a love triangle developed between the vampire, his friend, and the friend's wife. The friend warned the vampire about a vision where he found them together and killed the vampire. The friend seemed remorseful and worried. The vampire thought it was absurd and reassured the friend. The night of the event, the friend stayed up until dawn worried and to prevent the event. By sun rise all was well, and the vampire left for his chamber. That's when a chance meeting between the vampire and the lady occurred near the staircase where they embraced. They were found standing in embrace in the vampire's chamber by the friend who was consumed with rage. He assaulted the vampire who effortlessly threw him aside. Feeling remorseful and relenting, he allowed the friend to recover and he charged a second time, pushing the vampire's head face first into what looked like a mineral encrusted stone castle wall, killing him Instantly. Vampire's don't like salt? It looked like salt. Strange dream.

Jesus healed, saved from sin, calmed the storm, and brought them safely to shore.
I know I have probably blogged about this before, but this is crazy prophetic.

Active Forgiveness
I was reading a quote on the Desert Fathers FB group from Seraphim of Serov who said that we must crucify our ego on the Cross of silence. It got me on a path of thought that lead me to the concept of active forgiveness. Active forgiveness, as I define it, is forgiveness in the present. For instance, Jesus asked the Father to forgive those who crucified Him even as they were crusifying Him. St. Stephen asked for forgiveness for those who were stoning him even as he was being stoned. Active forgiveness then, seems to go hand and hand with cruisfying our ego on the Cross of silence. It is necessary in meeting hate to be able to practice active forgiveness in order to evangelize.
Diabolical Nightmare
Last night I had a dream that I was visited by the spirit of Asmodeus. I awoke about 3AM (I know!) muttering, "No...no...no." I don't remember much other than seeing an image of Asmodeus superimposed over a demon seal (which I thought I could see after I opened my eyes), white or silver outline over a black background.

Jesus often taught in parable and often taught in the temple and synagogue reading the ancient scriptures.
Psalm 78:1-2 NRSV
Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old,

White Privilege?
On my way to Kitchener tonight for a taco, because Cindy was at the wedding reception of a coworker, I was listening to CBC--I know...CBC...despicable--Radio's Saturday Night Blues program when I heard Harrison Kennedy's mentor say that if he had closed his eyes he would have thought he was listening to a Black man. I'm not offended. If I were, I wouldn't call for censorship or an apology. What am I b1tch1ng about then? I just want to be treated the same way. Let's all be not offended more.
P.S. I had considered naming this post Black Privilege, but I can't bring myself to be that racy--self censorship. Society won't tolerate such expressions of blatant freedom of expression. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to offend others. I want them to be not offended and at the same time I want to be totally free.

It seems like sometimes He has to use a bit to keep us near unfortunately, but mostly not to give us free will and choice.
Psalm 32:9 NIV
Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.

I discovered more than 30 messages stuck in my Yahoo mail app's outbox for my Android phone. Some are very old and most were blog posts. Sorry.
Rev'd Kelly
The Rev'd (Chris? ) Kelly was filling in for Fr. Dan on Sunday. Paul and I both really liked his homily. It was refreshing and almost a little anti-Church. He commented that even the Church can ssometimes get in God's way.
As I read this today, I had three thoughts: some believe the gates of Jerusalem have to be unbricked before Christ will return; Jesus entered the gate of Jerusalem on a donkey; and, we need to open the gate of our hearts to let Christ in.
24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.24:10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. Psalms http://bit.ly/bibleappkjv
I was thinking about Pilot as I read this. Was he innocent?
26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: Psalms http://bit.ly/bibleappkjv
Polarization & Aggression
It feels like we are on the eve of a great purge, like 18th century Paris, if not a civil war.
Race baters and segregationists!
So, The Rt Rev. Mark McDonald has decided to take the Indians out of the ACC; how is this any different than the Essentials movmovement or The Anglican Church in North America or The Diocese of The Great Lakes? Why is this okay and the others weren't? Where will their funding come from once they leave the ACC? Or do they want to seperate like Quebec, keeping Canadian currency, trade agreements, and ties with Ottawa?

Retarded
What with all the hauling down of statues in the States and the renaming push for a school in Canada, I got thinking. Dad always said tthat we should judge people by the would they lived in and it's standards, not by our standards. In John A's time, savages were the native inhabitants of a non built up land, usually in a tribal society--much like our ancertors (barbarians). We are the ones who have given the words their current meanings.
We used to say that when somebody was mentally handicaped that their mental growth and development was held back or retarded. They were, in fact, retarded. Somehow, that word became inappropriate to use. They became challenged, and then special needs. All of it is double talk. And people are always angry now, the perpetually offended.
I'm a racist.
I'm a racist because I believe everybody should be treated equally no matter what. Nobody should be treated special because of the colour of their skin. Nobody. Privilege shouldn't be a thing, not based on race. And, FYI, it's not privilege if you earn it; that's called work.
Christ frees us from the law.

Some things cannot be undone.
Some things can't be fixed. David P from Atomic Blond almost steels one of my most crude lines, which I don't think I ever wrote here as I thought it too vulgar. Mine went, "You can't [unfv €|<] a virgin." Meaning, some things--once done--cannot be undone. David P's line is actually more effective.

May we be thine.
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. John 17:9. http://bit.ly/bibleappkjv
