Some interesting songs
I have discovered 50+ interesting songs so far. A few of them are listed below. Click the images if you would like to view the music videos on YouTube. Please, do be a little cautious though. While all of these songs have some lyrics that are exactly correct, they also have some that are not.
Some of my favorites
Here is a selection of a few of my favorite spiritual songs. All of these songs were of great help to me during my agnostic/new-believer phase of my experience with God back in 2010-2012. If you would like to listen to any of them, just click the pictures to view the music videos on YouTube.
Most of these songs have some of what I call “LJ content”, which I would describe as content that supposes or suggests that Jesus is God. As I wrote in a previous article, my belief in God is strictly monotheistic. I do not believe that Jesus is God. I LOVE these songs though. They are beautiful and spiritual. When I hear something in them that is contrary to my belief, I am inspired to think more deeply into spiritual topics time and time again. Personally, I find the experience to be very healthy and stimulating spiritually.
While I find this kind of experience rich and rewarding, someone else may not. Everyone is unique and different. So, proceed (or not) according to what is correct for you.
God bless you!
🎵 “Listen for the Playback” 🎵
I realize you are all probably wondering where the most interesting content is. Some of that is coming soon on this website. However, most of it will come later, after you’ve all returned home.
I’m pretty sure that Leader-Guy has been audio recording me for many years now, and that there will be a playback event later which will be inclusive of nearly every on-topic thing I’ve said over the past ten years or so. There will be a lot, a lot, A LOT of amazing content. If Leader-Guy has not been recording, then we can simply talk.
Here is a small sampling of some questions which will be answered later:
- Is God real, and is God really God? (hint: Yes! & Yes!)
- What is God doing? (hint: Many things. All of them good. None are bad!)
- Is the Devil real? (hint: No, but there is an amazing story which you’ve not heard yet.)
- What is the Small Place? Who else is there?
- What is the cause of Tourette Syndrome? (Of course I can’t promise this, but I am VERY confident that there will be enough helpful information in the Playback that, fairly soon afterward a cure will be found for Tourette’s and a multitude of other ailments.)
- What is the purpose and utility of the Common Cold?
- How did Michael Jordan (#23) with his parents make the difficult choice of what Michael would do directly after high school? (college?, MLB Baseball?, NBA Basketball?)
- Why does Planet Earth exist? What is its purpose? Who are the meek that shall inherit the Earth? (not me) …and why will they inherit it?
- Will Pete Rose (#14) ever play Major League Baseball again?
- Have I ever been, or will I ever be anyone other than who I am now? (hint: No)
- Will Jesus be homebound when his mission is complete in the Small Place? (hint: Yes! …and you will have the opportunity to see him with your own eyes.)
- Why am I called “The Unforgiven”? (hint: the reason is something good, not something bad.)
- Am I, or was I ever one of those not-real people that existed here on Earth before your arrival? (holograms? …I call them “Facados”) (hint: No, but I almost may as well have been one. God did something quite interesting and amazing with me which will be detailed later.)

God bless you all!
Happy Good Friday and Easter!
I hope you all have a happy Good Friday and a happy Easter!
God bless you all!
Cross of Saint Peter / Petrine Cross

I know many of you already know this, but I believe God would like everyone to know it, so today I’m writting about it.
This is the Cross. The Cross is the greatest and most profound symbol of LOVE and HOPE that will ever be. Jesus suffered and died on the Cross for you. Jesus suffered and died on the Cross for me.
When the Cross is displayed upside down (inverted), it remains the greatest and most profound symbol of LOVE and HOPE that will ever be, and it gains additional meaning.
After the crucifixion of Jesus, when Peter the Apostle was sentenced to death by crucifixion, he requested that the crucifix on which he was to be hanged be turned upside down because he did not feel worthy to die in the same manner as Jesus. Thus, Peter the Apostle was crucified upside down on an inverted cross.
The inverted Cross is often called the Cross of Saint Peter or the Petrine Cross.
If you display the Cross upside down, you are making a very, very strong statement which expresses ultimate humility before Christ.
The following is commentary about my own personal experience. I do not think God is concerned that people know any of this which follows, but I wanted to share with you, a little about my experience.
Personally, I have some work to do toward correcting my emotional understanding on this subject. I have been quite adversely affected by my past exposure to misapplication of the Cross of Saint Peter (A.K.A. the Petrine Cross), with the majority of it occurring in Pop Culture media (e.g. “Satanic” album cover art, horror movies, etc.)
I do well if I see it displayed atop a church or other similar and correct context. I see it for the beautiful symbol that it is and I feel appropriately about it. But if I see it in an incorrect context, I cringe. I feel momentarily that I am seeing something bad. I know intellectually that I am seeing something good and that it is possibly just misplaced, but initially I feel differently until I take a few seconds to remind myself of what I am really seeing.
Moving forward, I intend to work on this personal issue. My plan is: after some self-talk about what I am about to see, is to spend a few minutes per day viewing images that depict misapplication of the Cross of Saint Peter (A.K.A. the Petrine Cross). Then, each day when I have done that; more self-talk about what I have just seen.
Voila! …issue resolved soon!
God bless you all!
