What About "The God Account"?


This is a cloudy March 14, 2020, Pi day, and restaurants give you a free piece of pie.  I was hoping the sun would make it out today.  I saw blue sky at 6:25 just as it was starting to get light, but it didn’t pan out.  I was worried whether Hardball would be on this week because last week the signs didn’t look too good.  The program continues.  President Trump announced a national emergency and he and Mc Connell and Nancy Pelosi are able to get a deal passed through congress for emergency relief to local governments.  But that doiesn’t extend to a broad payroll tax cut that was widely talked about.   In other news they took the tarp off the storage area around hear yesterday morning.  I presume that means that the electronics and other goods should be returned to the people who have been sprayed.  They still have the tape on the barber-shop door after three days.  I would guess that means that room was fogged.   School districts have been closing for two weeks including the LA Unified School District.  The Boston marathon is being postponed till September.   I’ve heard if you want to visit Israel you have to quarantine yourself for fourteen days, then you’re free to tour the country.  I guess they are freeing up resources for widespread virus testing even if you don’t have symptons.  That seems like a pretty good idea to me.  The president should be tested.   The Dow Jones Industrials rebounded and almost recovered Thursday losses up 1900 points on the D J I.   Investment now is a good idea.  At lunch our esteemed leader, Glen, gave us another one of his little pep talks.  These are usually bad news, one way or another.  They are going to clean the tables and chairs in the dining room more thoroughly.  That’s good news, including cleaning the salt and pepper shakers, which need it.  Visits to the library will be curtailed and there will be no Friday shopping expiditions for the foreseeable future.  A lot of people rely on those.  The only exceptions are if you need to see the doctor.  Also teachers such as Karen in music, and the arts and crafts teacher will not be coming here for the foreseeable future.  I guess that means Norma, the Bible study lady won’t be coming tonight, wither fried chicken.  Right now we’re out of soap and low on toilet paper.  That whole dispenser thing isn’t working out that great.  I took the final roll out from under the sink.  Glen also stressed that we should at all times be respectful to the staff.   In the afternoon I noticed that the pull wand thing on the blinds is missing.   I asked Joe about it and he says it’s been missing for some time.  He was turning individual blinds by hand, which is dangerous because they could break off.  Otherwise I got up before four thirty this morning and showered.  I was eager to get the day going.  But they weren’t serving coffee in the dining room at a quarter to five.   They seem to be phasing out early coffee but not all at once.  They’ll give you hope they might be doing it again but that is less and less.   

I was sitting out back in the pre dawn hours.  I was thinking about dark matter and warped matter.  There is a logical problem both me and the Star Trek people face with cloaked matter.  That is, since there is no transferable gravity either receiving or sending, you can’t have a “cloaked planet” because there would be no relational gravity to keep the planet in orbit around a star or planet.  This leaves dark matter which has gravity but no form of EM radiation.  So there would still be no receivable radio communication or heat transfer or visible light or any more dangerous short-wave radiation.  You would be safe here, and that includes microwave radiation they might bombard you with.  However gravity continues with dark matter.  There, of course, is also dark energy.   Some people say though that gravity is an illusion and it’s just accelerating through “curved space” or something.   Gravity is a separate force and not EM radiation, acc-ording to the scientists.  This of course contradicts Newton and our Romulan cloaking theory.  The other thing I was thinking about was the scripture that reads “Heaven and earth will pass away but my word shall never pass away” spoken by Jesus.  That’s pretty powerful stuff.  The word of God is thus powerful.  But it’s used so frivolously by preachers and would be prophets in the spirit.  If this is the same force that created the universe it shouldn’t be dealt with lightly.  We have learned from “The God Account” that God has the power to modify human conduct.  He has modified mine over the course of the past few weeks.  I would imagine if God wants President Trump reelected he can modify Trump’s behavior to something that is acceptable to the Lord so that He can say Trump passes muster and thus can be reelected. 

.  Now they’re saying on Hardball that they should cancel Sunday’s debate because of the virus and that Sanders should concede and get behind Joe Biden.  That’s crazy!  .  Now they’re saying on Hardball that they should cancel Sunday’s debate because of the virus and that Sanders should concede and get behind Joe Biden.  That’s crazy!   This isn’t a totalitarian state yet.   It struck me that if there is such thing as a pre-tribulation rapture or snatching away of the Elect, that a good sign is whether there are still fundamentalist Bible studies being held.  That's a good sign.  If the parable of last Thursday is true, then even the "saved" people could miss it and be "left behind".  

This is later and just after nine I saw the sun for the first time for a minute or two before it went back in the clouds.  Phyllis maintains the cat isn’t going to have kittens but Rose says she is and that she can feel the bulges.  I reached out my hand to her side and the cat reacted as if she were protecting unborn litter.   First Leah said the kitten was a male.  Then she said she was pregnent.  I have held that she is indeed going to have kittens and not that many weeks off.
