As a matter of fact, YES!! I think that they showed those only solidifies my writing. I often watch about forgotten events in history as well as those "Banned from the Bible." I view it as a sign. That I am right!! They were written first, but a lot of this I got from many sources, including any documentation on a show. Regular television loses my interest. Like now. The television is on, but on a channel that plays classical music to set the mood. The conclusions of some are so hard pressed and don't add up to what the say. Like the group in the South of France, who claim Mary Magdalen was really the Christ. Jesus was her partner. I agree she was amazing and framed by the Church then. She wasn't a prostitute. She was smart. I need to see more of the evidence.

For some reason, it was said in that Malto-meal commercial and skyrocketed into eternity. I remember it well.

Will You Help Us? For the next hour or so, we caught things up with Caleb and Demetrius. Don’t misunderstand. Caleb sat and listened with a clear path mapped out for him to get away. If he needed to. But where could he go? I was little concerned about where he sat. And what he wore to sit in. It screamed with its lack of fashion! The color was red…sort of. It wasn’t burgundy. Crimson? I am no slave to any fashion, but… I knew there were some in the Church that took time to look…what’s

Have a Merry Christmas!! Caleb I tried to use my abilities when I could just to be sure I could and it didn’t fade on me. It quickly became just a part of me. I caught myself doing it absentmindedly and played with a spoon or fork absently. I don’t imagine any of you ever twittered your fork. My attention was brought back as Seth put his hand on my hand. The fork in my hand was spinning rapidly, but I wasn’t really touching the fork. The metal made contact with my s

You had me thinking about that all night! I don't want to lose anyone, but...I write, post and it's read. Or not. I knew it was happening. A writer can feel when he's reaching the audience. I don't claim to be the best, but I have things I wrote. I stopped Makarovia: Sophomore Year after the wedding because I felt that. This has been a shitty five years. That's an explanation, no excuse. I've lost everyone. My father, husband, and mother. I lost my house, car, with no family at all. Oh, yes and most of my sight. My world is dead. Movie stars are now dead and the music I like are "Golden Oldies!" Some of you know what I'm talking about. Others will know, when it's their turn. I read what people say and understand, but on this point, I know where I want the story to go. Cinderfella was my reaction to Richard Madden as Prince Charming! I WANTED HIM!!! I was getting rid of some of the Bibidie-bobbitie-boo and said "Why?" Why should magic be for women and preteen girls? A male Fairy Godparent added! It took off!! My male characters were...male! Men. They did male things all males do! (That was a surprise to me. I thought I was the only one a while.) Cinderfella stood up against Protocol! Two families did the unthinkable! Cinderfella 2 was the world getting ready for them a little. Book 3 is to blast through the whole WORLD!!! A part of what is the United States of America was settled differently, languages evolve still. The words they use are not that different from ours. There was no Native or African Slavery. No Indians. Someone is a slave. You will take this badly, but...I'm supposed to feel specifically something now. What would that be? You announce it where to everybody can see and not privately to me. What was your goal? The direction has not changed. The battle is fast approaching. I hope you stay. I don't want to lose one reader. I often do include other's ideas in the story line. What was I to add with this comment left for me? A wife doesn't tell her husband she's going home to mother's without a goal in mind. What is supposed to happen? You will know what happened and why! The last chapters will be...GLORIOUS!!!

It's a week away. I knew I was losing readers. Thus all the comments about schooling. I thought having these scrolls as real, gave an excuse. I'm not just making it up. Well, yes I am, but the source is real! I didn't make it up. What that means? I can't tell you.
-
I was catching up with my stories. They are my future and will last after I'm gone. Nothing's wrong, but I failed to see the level of support you gave and words of encouragement. I never said thank you. THANK YOU. If I offended you, ever. I'm sorry. Thank you again.
-
Yes, that's where I didn't want to have people think they're in school. Anyone, with any religious background hopefully will be entertained. I use Seth, Thomas and the others who might not understand as a way to explain it all. There are parts missing NOW! Fragments. Has a priest or preacher ever asked you to turn to the Gospel of Thomas!! There is one. The Gospel of Mary? His life-bringer or who everyone thinks should have been his wife? Mary Magdalene. Every time I say it could be this something else rises that it can be. The stories are there. Murder, incest, torture, adventure. Here's another story suggestion. Exodus People gather with a kind people, soon are serving these peo The language used the Watchers, plural, fell in love with Humanity. They talk about the race of giants, more than one and for more than a few years! Hundreds of years! Artistic License allows a lot of leeway. If I say something is an impossible way, I need to explain it! I don't want anyone to hate me. Gad! 1960 and 1970 was Stiles Point Elementary and Harbor View Middle and ended with Fort Johnson High School. 1980 was Baptist College and the United States Air Force. I'm unusual. I know it. I'm proud of it. I prefer to laugh than cry. I always have. And how did I forget There's Something Stuck in the Chimney and I Don't Know What It Is. If I had a child, my child would sing it loud and proud. A chip off the block. More before Christmas. Watch for wild hairs.

When in Roma Everyone take a deep breath. This isn’t supposed to be Sunday School. There is no Confirmation, no Profession of Faith. There is no religious significance except that they are mentioned. Why do we need censors!? And who appointed any of THEM!?!? Clark Gable said he didn’t give a damn. So, what? Neither do I. Porky Pig interrupted an ending after he stuttered and then said finally, “You thought I’d say bitch.” Yes, he did! I love every single irreverent, potentially offensi

I am a man comfortable with what I believe now. I did a one-eighty from that ultra-conservative Republican to the Liberal Independent man who says I know enough to confess, "I don't know." Politics do not win votes for me. I'm not a Theologian. I was corrected and told I was. I remembered the wrong names. I'm Human. Should I tell you about the twelve tribes of Israel? I know a whole bunch of biblical stories. I married Daniel and he taught me volumes about the Catholic Church. The Saints!! Daniel taught me to call on Saint Anthony when my wallet vanished. Was it stolen? My credit cards! I said the prayer and in less than an hour, it showed up. I had gone to the bathroom, during the process of pulling down and then up again, my wallet fell out. It got kicked behind the throne. We all know Catholics aren't really Christian. Was that a gasp? As children, we were handed cartoon booklets about Catholics. My favorite was where Satan helps men take over the world by using a cookie!! It was a part of growing up here. IT WAS A LIE!! My mother I thought was smarter than this. She was Human. She believed homosexuals were born. I still get angry at being lied to. I will say this. Do research on what I write and say. The Forbidden Fruit, the juice of the mentioned fruit, the doorway mirror. Artistic License allows a lot of room to say almost anything. The Watchers. The Book of Enoch? Hopefully, you'll like it.

Thank you. You're right. I fact checked the story, but I knew the name so I didn't bother to check that. I knew the stories. Everybody remembers he interprets a dream for his brothers that was the final straw for the brothers and why they set Joseph up to appear killed and sold into slavery. (Thanks to Reuben's limited compassion.) The horrible stories we tell our children!! Feeding people to animals, throwing them into fires, killing babies!! I was a star once! I played Daniel in a musical version of the story "It was Cool in the Furnace!" I was pretty good! A horrible story made all cute with children's voices. I was almost an adult when I heard of the Apocrypha. The Bible was it. Absolute. Then I heard Billy Graham's daughter, Ruth speaking on Thecla and the miracles performed because of her. Southern Baptists are a peculiar group. Then the Book of Jubilees. I asked my father for answers he couldn't give. Not would not, could not. A woman comes forward after service, wants salvation offered, you find out she was born a HE. Or better yet, this person is intersexual!! There are organs for both male and females to work with. You can't just snip off one and raise her as the other. It doesn't work that way. Dad had no solid answer. I faulted Dad often, but he is a victim, too. Ignorance. He didn't know! No excuses now though. My confidence in those books is not as strong. The Protestants are still suppressing the Apocrypha! I want to know everything. I tried to be Christian and I am a Christian. I tried to fit what I am in the Southern Baptist Church. That didn't work. My husband Daniel was a part of a growing process. I married a Yankee, Italian, Roman Catholic man from Queens, New York!! I brought him home! I already shock the racial tree and the gender tree. Lukus is in this, but I have a lot of characters! Can't forget Max, Val, Reese, Chitto, Ceto, Beau...I feel a cramp in tendons of my hand. I'd like Garth, Bent, Zeke, Gabe...but they're in Royal Valley. There will be magic used. One case in A'Dore, but...I can't give it away! Sorry, got to preaching again. Love you, Paul

The Dream I hated this. A nightmare so real and sharp, I came up fighting. They were so clear when you wake up, but fade as we were awake. Naturally, the others were concerned. I got them here and only I could get them back! I needed to plan on what to do if I couldn’t. It would be a while before anyone got to the other to return everyone home the long way. There’s a feeling I get when I’ve made a fool of myself and that feeling grew was the images in my head faded. Demetrius

Sorry to be so chatty today, I may...no, I did miss a medication. Blood pressure and all that? I'm sorry, David. You did fine in the original Casino Royale. But you were so...proper!! Too proper! You did other things beautifully, but your Bond? I could see you getting your hands dirty! Bond, was everybody's dream! To be of be with (though his dates often died). I still wonder...I know the man who is NOT blond admitted it. Would he cross all barriers for Queen and Country? How he even object? Here's a writer's challenge. Keeping him Bond, but needs something from a man that needs to trust him first. Keep Bond, Bond, but add the desire to win trust to get a secret. There's my challenge!

I won't answer that. By saying I won't, I have answered. No reading ahead. There's nothing wrong with Toby's ears. A ten year old boy's young ears. I will say...no. I can't. You'll have to wait. Exciting things coming! I think. What I end up with often times is not where I expected. All I wanted was a Cinderella-like story for my people! Guys, girls, and all those in between! We needed a fairy tale! That was all! I swear! Bert's doing well. I dictate (yuck) and afterwards he reads it out loud. Southernese isn't like other languages or accents. If I hear an error, I try to flag it for change later. Even Bert knows I do not speak proper English. And who's to say it ain't proper? Even ain't is in modern dictionaries! The people have spoken!

And you are why I do this! I mean it. What I felt when I read your comment is exactly why I do this. I don't know about anybody else, but I formed a habit. I have to continue Makarovia and will. I'm working on the next part for this. I love you.

Let’s Take A Trip I nodded, “Yes. I understand why you chose what you did.” I smiled. “You end your life, no one else’s.” I tapped him on the chest. “But it does hurt others.” Demetrius was about to say something try to dismiss it, but I stopped him. “No,” I lowered his hand, “It would have hurt me very badly. I don’t know which is worse, physical or emotional pain. I think emotional pain is horrible! It just keeps going and going.” I hugged him again and it was tight again. “You can

I really am the son of a minister. REALLY. In the movie Footloose, the preacher's daughter (Lori Singer) gave Kevin Beacon a Bible with all the references TO DANCE was marked and highlighted. Kevin asked how she knew this, Lori said, "You're kidding" was her reply. I have been in a Theology Class almost all my life. Some sermons, I even paid attention to I just realized, all I gave was the title and a couple on lines. You had to know the movie and the 80's to get it! Hell yeah! I loved the late seventies, eighties and nineties! I also loved Lori's brother! Marc!! He could Master any Beast of mine. That voice! Any letter of the alphabet is his! Yes, I know there is a possibility he may hear about this. I loved him, Robert Urich and a couple of others for decades!! Marc, I never went to any of the conventions, but if I could have met you, I would have. I'm a sane fan.

More Truth It was an Italian/Greek villa with the large rooms inserted in the side of the rise. Rooms broken off the whole and shoved into the side. Very little was room stacked on a room. The most lived in was the one at the very top, but it’s claim to fame was that it was all covered over. Both the Greeks and the Romans liked a sunny room. The top room was practically uncovered and covered by tree limbs and shade. Nothing about it said it’s age. A year ago, a hundred or a thousand

I thought so...my fault, but I felt...something...new computer and new grammar check. Thanks for letting me know. Shame on you, Bert. Give me a few moments. For shame!

Come Over Hana proved to be a charming young lady. Her lack of use with English only added to her charm. She used it on purpose and did it well. It was important to see this wasn’t an act. One of the attractive things a person can do is to truly is what they seem. Some women were the worse! And they ARE!! You know it’s going back to the animal kingdom; the males were strength and made the big decisions. Like where to nap. Being leader was tough! Some young punk strolls into town and th

This is sad, but true. Sexual assault is the worst. It's not really different if it's done to a woman OR a man. Most men will deny it happened at all. Even today, victims of abuse often steer away from any sexual component of an assault. I've dealt many men who have been victimized. Without fail, when a sexual crime is added to a victim's case. Before ANYTHING. They say that they are NOT gay. Sex and even attraction is so far down the list when dealing with motivations. Control and power is more important. Whatever the gender, an attack like this need to be handled delicately. I've thrown some things in ahead of schedule. Freud wasn't the father of psychoanalyses, he was the first to call it that. The Natives of this continent had some good ideas about things. And there never were any Indians. Why we cursed entire races because someone didn't know where the Hell he was. Hang your head in shame. Shame on you. The first day with a new baby is tough. Bert will learn and the graphics help me see. "You're such a big boy. And so PRETTY!!" I love you, Daniel.

Hana “Hemisphere?” Seth asked. I nodded, but looked at Demetrius, “The Chinese knew that as the Native tribes here did. It explained our seasons.” I smiled at Seth. “You know the Earth is round?” Seth nodded, “Yes, we’ve known that a thousand years.” I chuckled, “It’s been known a lot longer than that. It became more widely known about a thousand years ago, but even today, if you ask the ones that were raiding our supplies I can guarantee the majority of them think it’s fla

Come On By! Could we be deceived? Anybody can be a victim of that. I tried not to watch too closely, but I watched Thomas and Hana together. And I was ashamed of myself when I thought how cute they were. Almost no one thought Seth and I were cute. I know there was a lot of revulsion. I’m thankful for the many communities that adjusted quickly. Native culture had no adjustment to make. The dinner and conversation seemed to just flow. “You worry too much,” Demetrius said as he ch

I can't hold it in!!! I'll blow up!! Mike was just screaming in my ear again! "Hot potootie - bless my soul. I really love that rock and roll!!!" That's right. Mike. Meatloaf for everybody else, but I fell for guy big time in 1980. I discovered HIM!! Yes, it was a near religious experience! Tim, Susan, Barry...everyone of them left a mark on my SOUL! The energy Mike gives in a performance blows my mind even now! I didn't fall for his looks. NO. The truth is he looks better now than he did in his twenties! In concert, with the hair flying...ewwh, but I love his talent!! Tim is phenomenal! Susan and Barry...no one with that movie has ANYTHING to be ashamed of. It really be shown FOREVER!!! They showed me a life I didn't know of. My parents knew when they saw albums from Meatloaf, Styx, and Blue Oyster Cult. I have a good imagination. I would love to know some big celebrities. In my head, I do. Just like the long term relationship Robert Urich! Tell me that didn't happen. Barry was so young and with the hair dark...(sigh) he looks better now. One more time! "Hot Patootie - Bless My Soul..."

A couple, maybe. The bad guys are so close, you can hear and even feel them breathe! Think about it. With that many beings, Human and horse coming, food they needed for all, places to sleep and other basic needs for elimination (shit)...it won't be fast, but soon. These Puritans chose the wrong time of year for a mission, against a person or persons they were so sure they would deal with not knowing who. I'm Scottish! So, when I say people that come from that part of the world knew EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING! No one was better than we are. We're never wrong. Until someone proves we are. Can anyone guess what the year is yet? I've hinted with the technology available. Columbus never sailed the ocean blue in 1492 and discovered a new world. It was inhabited already!
