THURSDAY

Last night, I lost my keys.  I went to Pastor Pete's church, catching the last song, then took sermon notes on Pastor Pete's Sermon:

When you talk to the Lord you go through different things. I feel like the Lord has been convicting me with idolatry...the one the Lord is really convicting me about is food. I really like food and I want a lot of it.

Jesus has a different kind of food and we talked about that about the woman at the well.

We all have things that we're struggling with. The Lord wants to help us all.

Sin is sin and should not be taken lightly.

Prayer.

We're in John Chapter 17

In this Chapter it's in the fall of the year in the time of the latter feasts.

He had been ministering in Galilee.

There was a hatred stirring in Judea.

We saw in Chapter 6 where he fed the 5,000 and walked on water and went to Capernaum and said I am the Bread of Life.

He knew they were out to kill him. This was only months before they did kill him.

We're on v.35

The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 What did he mean when he said, 'You will look for me, but you will not find me,' and 'Where I am, you cannot come?'

Isaiah 12:3 With joy you will draw waters from the well of Salvation.

The water is a reminder that he provided for them in the wilderness. He had given them water in a dry desert.

He stood and said 'Ho, if any man is thirsty, as the Scriptures hath said, come and drink and streams of living water will flow from within him.'

The evidence that The Holy Spirit is at work.

By this he meant The Holy Spirit whom would come.

Up to that point the Spirit had not been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

If you don't have the Spirit, you don't have the fruit of the Spirit.

Salvation is not something you can fabricate...it is a miracle.

In John it says If I go not away the Counselor cannot come.

The Spirit could only come on the feast day of Pentecost.

Pentecost means 50 days after.

Think about Samson. He couldn't do the work he did without the Holy Spirit. But he didn't dwell in him like he dwelled in the disciples after Pentecost.

They hadn't received it. But you will receive it, and be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in Judea and unto the ends of the earth.

John 7: 40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, "Surely this man is the Prophet." 41 Others said,"He is the Christ" Still others asked, "How can the Christ come from Galilee? 42 Does not the Scripture say that the Christ will come from David's family and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?"
43Thus the people were divided because of Jesus. 44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.

People don't like their sin exposed because most people have a spirit of haughtiness and pride.

There is going to be division. But let it be about real things, not petty squabbles about the color of the carpet, whether we have drums or hymnbooks, etc.

Sometimes we want our healing, or our raise but it's just not time yet.

They wanted to seize Jesus but it wasn't his time yet.

    After the Sermon, Pete gave me the spare keys, and my friends and I went out to McDonald's then to Walmart.  I had water at McDonald's and gave Cindy her gifts.  At Walmart, I got several groceries, including Fruity pebbles, Golden Grahams, Velveeta Shells and cheese and Seafood and shrimp salad.
      After I put my groceries away, I came to Rick's house, where I let Rick watch COPS as I wrote in my journal.
Tina Turner died yesterday.

                              8:17 PM

   My cat is sleeping peacefully to my left (and is now as I type this on 5-31-2023, the day before I'm supposed to get my theforce.net priveleges back) side on my left loveseat cushion.
     I watched/streamed Changing Lanes today.  I liked it.  My right lens popped out of my glasses and Gordon took me up to Walmart to get them fixed.
  I bought a Coke today, but have not finished it yet.
I bought sweet and sour chicken and rice Tai Pei dinner and took my pills and streamed three episodes of The Simpsons.

My cat went outside and hung out under my neighbor's porch again today.
I debated religion with Steve today.  It was a friendly debate, not really an argument.

My air conditioner is on.  I'm about to turn it off.

05/27--
SABBATH

     I guess the Mountain Dew kept me up.  I got up, looked at porn, got disgusted with it, tried doing Twine, wrote with AI an AIDUNGEON story called Penwick: An AIDUNGEON Story and later, after trying to read but not being able to concentrate on that and trying to go back to bed, but not being able to stay in bed, wrote in my Diary.  Now I will try going back to bed.
        I got up and attempted to look at porn but ended up getting off on a movie with zero nudity in it. Then I went back to bed.
     I'm going to start logging 40 minutes per day of reading time starting today.

Starting 05-20-2023 and ending 05-29-2023, I wrote a fictional Diary at the beginning of each day before I wrote my truthful Diary, predicting my day, or recounting what had already transred that day, and predicting the rest. On 5-29-2023 I deleted that Fictional Diary, convicted that it was not right to keep it because it may make me look dishonest and cause confusion. I believe Satan tempted me to keep the Diary for those 10 days.

  I got up around 5:46 AM and wrote in my Diary.

I read A Marvelous Work and A Wonder (LeGrand Richards LDS Version), Wonders Vol. 1: Show Me God and Wonders of the Deep.  Now I'm going back to bed.

I got up, piled scads of books on my dining area table, intending on studying them all at once and taking notes in a large notebook, ate cereal and potato salad, and put all the books back on my shelves.

      I'm going back to bed.

At 2:25 PM I got up, got dressed, and biked to KC's to grab a Coke and took that, a full waterbottle and my journals and Media Tracker Log to the Library, where I got online on a big computer and used my white headphones to watch YouTube videos, while typing my 242'nd Diary, from where I left off on p.65.

  I am writing with a short library pencil.  This book is getting near almost full.
The library is near closing.
I checked out a Dog Man Book.  I watched an live IHOP KC/Israel/Australia Pentecost Service as I typed DIARY 242-PART 4.
    Now I'm biking home.  My Coke is not finished yet.

                    6:10 PM
   I stayed at the library a little while longer to print out the first 10 pages of Attack of the Clones Humorous Version.
When I got home I took everything out of my backpack, gave the cat an old mouse toy to play with (he's resting peacefully beside me to my left right now (and is also still now too at 5:10 PM CDT as I type this on 5-31-2023 CE/AD-B-ALHS-KV)) turned on the Air Conditioner and put the AOTC HV in a white binder after my Additional Canon Material Star Wars Comics.

      Then I read ALL of what I have so far of DIARY 243 (My current Diary) and have IHOP Pentecost Service on my laptop.

     My phone has 100% charge. (NOW as I type this my phone has 69% charge and s on its charger).
  I did not bring my phone to the library yesterday or today.

          7:11 PM CDT

I ate two White Castle burgers with ketchup I put on them and tater tots with ketchup on the side for supper. Then will now take my pills and Vitamin C. (As I type this at 5:19 PM CDT on 5-31-023 CE, I am reminded to take my pills and Vitamin C Rn.)

                                                9:06 PM
  He sent his Word, and healed them, and delivered them:
"And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, Stand Still and see the Salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever."

Before I saw those verses on my phone, I found my keys: They were hanging on my bathroom doorknob.  I have been typing my 40'th Diary-Part 4 tonight.

I was lying in bed at 10:31 PM and told the Father I loved Him.  He told me he loved me too, Son, and though my light in my bedroom was off, a light shone down upon me from above my bed.
