I can die in peace as my life winds down to the bottom of the hourglass
. I’m not an unwilling slave to/for anybody. I’m not w/folks that I don’t want to be w/. I do what & am w/whom I love — sex w/women of my choice, love fully women of my choice. Freedom of choice. Free will in the secular sense. I subscribe to Augustine’s Community of Fate that we’re all broken
in some sense esp. me, Tajiri, Thome, others whom I’m not mentioning because they don’t know me well enough. Yup. No exceptions. I always give credit in the secular sense to my greatest parents, my sole sib — my brother a yr. younger than me, other family members who nourished & inspired me (incl. my mom’s older sister married to Yashijima Taniguchi meat market youngest son — not KTA family), & others whose name omissions here I apologize in advance
“My bad
” I’m at peace. As Seto Sensei says — all praise to Christ for The Way in LOVE FOREVER MORE. Salvation finds you. You don’t earn it. Love (verb) unselfishly — not transaction- ally. Seto Sensei is a real exemplar of The Way in LOVE FOREVER MORE. What an amazing disciple in Christ that Seto Sensei is
From Seto Sensei — My Sweet Lord!!! What a powerful personal manifesto you wrote!!!
. It had the vociferousness of a Walt Whitman, the defiance of a Martin Luther, the conviction of a John Calvin, the orderliness of an Augustine, and the agape love of Jesus
. Marvelous!
You compress the major truths in the Bible and personalize it to yourself with laser focus. You affirm that there is free will in the secular realm, but total dependence of God in the spiritual arena, aka the Community of Fate. I commend you for a priceless masterpiece
that can be referred to often to keep on course. Thank you for sharing this declaration of independence from other people’s expectations and of total dependence upon Christ
for our eternal life. Thank you, Curtis, for mentioning me in your mission statement for your life on this earth
as the upper half of the hour glass decreases in your life as it does for all of us. I have been blessed by reading your proclamation of who you are, what you stand on and for, and where you are headed, the eternity, that God has placed into our hearts., as Corina has referred to from Ecclesiastes 3:11. I shall strive by the power of the Holy Spirit to be a fellow pilgrim on our walk
to a dimension in which there are no hour glasses. Praise
be to our Savior Jesus
️ for the glorious
life that has no end.
