The writing/ typing/ editing/ and proofreading are going well. I’m about a third of the way through the Contagion Phase 2: Beginnings final round of editing. Mind Master Chronicles 4: Butterfly is about a third of the way through typing/proofreading. Then, the three rounds of editing will begin. I’m trying to write a page in Contagion Phase 3 six days a week. It’s almost done and is ready for typing … as is Mind Master Chronicles 5: For the other four books, my goal is writing 3 pages per week.

I’m giving up my GoDaddy site since they’ve integrated AI into it. My domain name will eventually redirect here (WordPress).

I’m participating in the Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale! It lasts the entire month of July. All five of my currently published books will be free. Here is the address: https://www.smashwords.com/shelves/promos/

The only thing Apple accomplished with that desecration of the Holy Eucharistic bread scene in the Your Friends & Neighbors episode is encouraging the bullying of Catholics, some of whom have been their loyal customers for years, and the encouragement of the desecration of the Holy Eucharistic bread, where Jesus Christ is present. When you suffer from an ideology that has no truth in it, you mock and bully the one that does. Obviously the Apple company has put hatred and toxic ideology over business considerations. There are plenty of bad acts Apple TV wouldn’t dare depict on TV lest it be seen as encouraging the behavior. Encouraging the bullying of Catholics and the mocking of Jesus Christ is apparently fair game in the eyes of some ideological radicals.
Apple is trying to normalize the bullying of Christians and the desecration of the Holy Eucharistic bread. I can’t see where a company which shows such ugly disrespect for its own customers has many prospects for growth in the future.

Please write a letter to Apple TV asking for an apology and removal of the offending and irrelevant scene.

I’ve added more books to my writing regime, but I’m only doing a page a day of any one book. My priority is getting Biosphere 3 done regularly, but I’m chipping away at four others now. It keeps things interesting, and I don’t want to lose that inspirational feeling. Writing is a discipline like exercise, it becomes easier to establish a routine with it the more you do it. But notice that is easier not easy.

I am almost done with round 2 of 3 of editing of Beginnings. Butterfly typing has been increased to 4 pages a day. I proofread 5 pages a day of the typed pages to catch up on the time I lost.

Physical therapy takes a lot of time. Super Stump and Lefty (left foot) are making a lot of progress with standing. I’m opting for a walker rather than a prosthetic.

When I shelved books at a local library (in the liberal state of Minnesota) years ago, young adult was Sweet Valley High. The content is a lot more mature now. Bookstores have mature content in the children’s section. That’s why I decided to list all my books as adult fiction. I figure no one will know what ya means anymore.

Meanwhile, I’ve gotten back into a routine of writing, editing and typing. So, I’m making progress.

On Jan 29th, I wound up at the hospital with a painful, blue and cold right foot. On Feb 3rd, my foot had to be amputated due to peripheral artery disease. Now I have a below-the-knee stump I’m very attached to: Super Stump! I’ve had to postpone my two pre-orders as Super Stump prepares for his prosthetic.

PSALM 67

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song.

God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause His face to shine upon us; Selah.

That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations.

Let the people praise Thee, O God; let all the people praise Thee.

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for Thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

Let the people praise Thee, O God; let all the people praise Thee.

Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

PSALM 66

To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.

Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Sing forth the honour of His name: make His praise glorious.

Say unto God, How terrible art Thou in Thy works! through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies submit themselves unto Thee.

All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing unto Thee; they shall sing to Thy name. Selah.

Come and see the works of God: He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in Him.

He ruleth by His power for ever; His eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of His praise to be heard:

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

For Thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou laidst afflication upon our loins.

Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

I will go into Thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay Thee my vows,

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

I will offer unto Thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul.

I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

But verily God hath heard me; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.

PSALM 65

To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.

Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Sion: and unto Thee shall the vow be performed.

O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee shall all flesh come.

Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, Thou shalt purge them away.

Blessed is the man whom Thou choosest, and causest to approach unto Thee, that he may dwell in Thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, even of Thy holy temple.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt Thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

Which by His strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:

Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at Thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: Thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: Thou preparest them corn, when Thou hast so provided for it.

Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: Thou settlest the furrows thereof: Thou makest it soft with showers: Thou blessest the springing thereof.

Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

PSALM 64

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter [Or, speech]: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of His doing.

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

PSALM 63

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

To see Thy power and Thy glory, so as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary.

Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee.

Thus will I bless Thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in Thy name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise Thee with joyful lips:

When I remember Thee upon my bed, and meditate on Thee in the night watches.

Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.

My soul followeth hard after Thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me.

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
