Where is Confession in the Bible? (videos)

In listening to this, he mentions at one point how Jesus's 40 days of fasting in the desert reflects the 40 days that Moses was on the mountain and the 40 years that the Jews wandered the wilderness with Moses. He also forgot the 40 weeks of pregnancy. Once you begin to see the connections in the Bible, more start to jump out, but it's also fun to search for them.

God is the greatest storyteller! All the prefigurements in the OT are what we in the modern world refer to as "Chekov's gun" were technques created by God. Start searching and you'll be amazed and awakened to why the Catholic church's teachings are the fullest truth.

And here's another great homily for Lent by another great YouTube priest:

A greeting for the day

I cut up some potatoes to boil for mashed potatoes as a part of a late lunch and found this friendly greeting:

Book 21 of Starfire Angels: Forgotten Worlds is getting the hammering it deserves, so the story makes sense. I just have to resolve a small timeline glitch, or I think there's a glitch. After that, barring the discovery of any major issues, it goes into final copyedits. This weekend will be a busy one for me. I have a whole round of edits before that final round. Last night, I just started the third of (what I hope will be) four rounds of edits. As I posted yesterday, I expect it'll only be a couple more weeks before it's finished.

In the meantime, Mr. Potato says "Smile! It's Friday!" (That is a real picture, not AI or altered in anyway. I cut it just right under an eye and a bit of rot starting.)

Thanks for reading!

Update on editing Book 21

I will be starting the third round of edits on Book 21 tonight.

Why tonight and not now? I had a busy day, and I'm about to leave for a bit. I go to a weekday mass at a local church with a late afternoon/early evening mass time. It breaks up my day, but I manage. I'd rather be close to Christ than the world, and nothing could keep me from the Holy Eucharist, the Break of life aka body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, Son of God.

Anyway, I'll be diving back in for the next round of edits starting tonight, after I return from daily mass. I've ironed out a lot of issues, but there are a couple more I need to resolve. I gave myself a break after a massively busy week for work.

It is a complicated book, and I hope readers don't get lost in the flashbacks, some dated and some brief recaps from previous books. And it big time moves the plot forward from the big revelation of Book 20.

Probably just a couple of weeks to go!

Coming SOON!

Thank you for your patience!

 Someone else has said it very well! I am not alone in my opinions.

While she is more lenient about sex in books, she also doesn't seem to recognize that this feeds the demons of lust and is mortal sin. You do not get into heaven by reading titillating stories. There's a reason celibacy (outside of the marriage bed of one man + one woman in the sacrament of marriage for life) contributes to sanctification (aka holiness).
