Story Cube Prophecies

Story Cube Prophecies

This evening's moon crosses the sky in a Waxing Gibbous phase, more than half but less than full. In 29.531 days, it will return to this phase again. If one were to seek a spiritual meaning for such a moon, one could learn that this is a phase for attention to detail, tweaking of one's life a bit.

Speaking of moon phases, specifically the waning phase . . .

I retired right before the pandemic. So, hey, Happy Days! It's okay, though, given our shared harsh realities, it's probably the best way to get through a plague. Provided there's enough scratch coming in to pay for a place. Which, praise be, there is at this moment in time. The whole concept of retirement is laughable to God, I'm sure. No, I'm sure. He told me.

Prophesy: God says there are two ways humans think about their lives. There are those whose lives revolve around the idea that they are living on the Earth, and those living with the knowledge that they are of the Earth. Religion for "on the earth" people is all about consumption & seeking temporal gains. Religion for those "of the earth" is more about recognizing beauty in nature. One worships greed & wealth, the other art & nature. Any overlap is strictly superficial. Humans are the only species with this dual view of life, as far anybody knows.

That may be the only thing that makes us special, except . . . well, science. 

I've already deleted a complete paragraph about American politics. Poof! You're welcome. Wasn't worth describing something so pathetically obvious to so many. And there are people who can deliver it better . . . without the profanity. But there's this tidbit.

Prophesy: Josh Hawley, in his later years, will wear a cape but will struggle to find a walking cane to his liking. He will come to resemble a shriveled vampire. His associates will call him "Vlad" behind his back. He will never live in Missouri.

It's not much, but I had to get it out.

On that note, tonight's prophecy is complete. I'm going outside now to take a shot of the Waxing Gibbous and post it as a parting gift of love to all of my fellow humans who know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we are of the earth.


Here's a prophecy from July 2019. God told me it was too long. Of course, She's right. https://ozarksangel.blogspot.com/2019/07/word-from-prophet-of-god.html

Short Take: Religion, Capitalism & Political Power

Christian/Military yard ornament. Wal-Mart, Springfield, Missouri

There are three enormous constructs that serve to inhibit and discourage a robust pursuit of happiness in America today. Here's a short take on the current state of Religion, Capitalism and Political Power from here in God's Country (next to the super center).




1. Religion*

First of all, you are cursed with a sinful nature 
You have fallen far short of the Glory of God
Far short
Not even close

Hell awaits you
Your flesh will burn
You will suffer in agony for eternity
Unless

You become Born Again™️
Far less traumatic than first time
Believe me

*Rules may vary.



You Suck!
You Should Fix That

2. Capitalism

You suck! 

In so many ways 
The mirror is not your friend
You're not very smart
Even when it's obvious you are being conned 
You fall for it every time

Because you suck
You don't have enough money 
You could smell better 
Your teeth aren't white enough
And they are crooked

The drugs you should be asking your doctor about 

May cause you to have oily stools
And perhaps make you suicidal
If you aren't already

Consolidating your debt could help




3. Political Power

You are surrounded by threats to your safety 
You should probably own a gun
Several guns
It's that bad

Thank God (see #1 above) for our troops
And the immigration police 
And first responders
Who sacrifice what could be more useful lives
To protect your freedom 
To become a better consumer (see #2)

We hold these truths to be self evident
All men are created equal
That's what we say
Some are threats to your safety
You should probably own a gun

Losing My Faith

My older sister died last month after a couple of years of slowly slipping away. She was 84 and a dear devout Christian, as is all my extend...
