Heart issue
I imagine that even if word wasn’t out previously, it is now. I have a heart problem.
First, the good news: As severe as my heart problem is, I’m going to be okay. I will survive. I don’t know all of God’s plans for me, but I do know that death is not part of them. God has revealed to me some of the plans he has for me in the near and distant future, and they are all things I could not do if I were dead.
Exciting news for cardiologists! (I have deduced that this has not ever been done previously). I will eventually be receiving a Big-Place-medical-science-level artificial heart at the first opportunity. I don’t know who will be installing it, but I do know who is designing it, and that person has come strongly recommended by Almighty God, so I have no doubt my new heart will be a good one!
In the meantime, everyone, please be patient with Leader-Guy. He is not delaying the treatment of my medical needs without very, very good reason. Leader-Guy is putting the safety and needs of everyone ahead of mine alone. I totally agree with him on this and support his choice to have me wait.
I should probably mention this too. I don’t actually know that an artificial heart is ready for me yet. I do know that the designer was contacted a few years ago, though.
Side note: Neurologists can expect some VERY exciting news and HUGE scientific breakthroughs eventually too!
God bless everyone!
Not feeling well :(
I’m going to be taking some time off from posting due to not feeling well lately. Don’t worry, it’s not anything contagious. I hope to get back to posting next week.
God bless you all.
Some interesting movies
Click the images if you would like to view the theatrical trailers on YouTube. Please, do be a little cautious, though. While all of these movies have some content that is interesting, they also have much that is not.
A tiny flutter
About a week ago, I had a conversation on the topic of the strength of my conviction in the existence of God. In the conversation, I claimed to be more certain of God’s existence than I am of my own.
I know it isn’t a great conversational practice to make a statement and then finish evaluating it afterwards, but that’s what I did on this occasion. I suppose it was because of the boldness of the statement that I then found my mind wandering and evaluating the statement. I asked myself, “Am I really more certain of God’s existence than I am of my own existence?”
I thought for a moment that what I had said was not true. I thought, “I am equally sure of God’s existence as I am of my own.”
I continued to think about it. I noticed that my thoughts fluttered a tiny bit, almost imperceptibly, while contemplating my own existence, but not at all when pondering the existence of God.
I realized that I am really and truly more sure of God’s existence than of my own. The difference in my strength of conviction from one to the other is small, but it is there. I marvel at that.
I am amazed at what God has done with me. He literally led me from a place of strong, stubborn agnosticism to being more sure of his existence than of my own. It wasn’t an easy journey. As a matter of fact, it was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but the result is very well worth the difficulty I endured.
God bless everyone!
Who John Boring is not

Everything else

I know that you all know this already. I feel more than a little dumb saying it, but maybe I do need to say it so that all of you know that I know it too.
John Boring is not God.
I know this. I have always known this. I never meant to suggest otherwise, but I do see how something I said years ago could have easily been misinterpreted as me claiming that he is God.
My apologies to anyone and everyone adversely affected by any seemingness that I was claiming something so very bizarre and ridiculous!
God bless you all!
