NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

By -

     So the end of 2025, what a fast year!  It's like time has sped up.  I'm almost convinced that it has.  Who's to say that with AI the worldly powers haven't shaved off a few seconds in our all connected internet time dependency?  The Bible does say that in the end, if time wasn't shortened, we would all perish.  Could that mean time time?  Or does it mean the seven year limitation?


    Either way, felt like trying to blog again.  Do people still do this?  Anyway, I finally started cracking open my Bible.  My daughter got me the NT Perry Stone Bible.  I already had the OT, so it was my request for the NT.  However, she got it for me for Mother's Day...so it's taken me this long to make myself start reading.  I'm doing 2 chapters a day, and reading the OT from the last book to the first since I can't seem to get to the end.  I might have to read over and over because my memory has been given me a hard time.  

    So I'm starting Matthew chapter 5 & 6 today.  One of the blocks of info that is on that page refers to chapter 4:17, the differences between the gospels in regards to the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God.  It's about how Matthew was writing to the Jews, so he followed the traditions of not writing the word "God" out in reverence to being careful about taking His name in vain.

    My thoughts on this is that ... Is "God" a name?  When Moses asked God what shall he tell pharoah when he asks who sent him, God said "I AM that I AM, tell him I AM sent you."  He didn't say God sent you.  God, to me, isn't a name.  It's a position, a title.  It's the highest title a being can have.  So ... does saying "OH MY GOD!" constitute abuse of our Lord?  Can using "god" be considered in vain?

      For some reason I thought today was the 5th.  I feel like time is all over the place for me.  Some days I think it's Tuesday when it's really Thursday.  Some days I feel like it's Wednesday when it's STILL Monday.  I wouldn't be surprised if the powers of this world have found a way to manipulate time.  Since everything is run by AI, or will be very soon, who would notice if they added seconds or shorted seconds for every minute.  Most clocks are connected to servers.  How would we notice?  Unless you use an analog clock, which we have one, but it keeps freezing on us.  And most young adults and kids can't even tell time on an analog clock.  Isn't that so suspicious?  They can't type either...or spell.  But my son got us a small analog clock that is very similar to the one I grew up on, the one that dings the hours on the hour.  We haven't set it up yet.  But if it doesn't keep time with our phone...
