An Introduction

I was raised Christian (Pentecostal). One Sunday, when I was about 15 years old (in the year 1994 or 1995), I was in church with my mother, ...

Tweets - July 12th - Consider the Inconsiderable

The word of God has been, "YES!". To angels, to Christ, to everyone who walks with God, the word of God is, "YES!". Even in God's profound and severe, "NO!", there is still to us given, "YES!!!"

It is by faith that the world is judged, and the world is judged by Christ and by those who walk with God; as God entrusts them with this Garden, giving life to seed-bearing flowers and fruit-bearing trees whose petals and leaves never fall or discolor.

It was by faith that the Jewish prophets spoke of the end of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and it was by faith that the angels spoke to them. No matter where in God you look, you will find forward-movement and light, even in God's deep quietness, even in God's deep darkness.

I sometimes disagree strongly with peoples' philosophies, especially regarding "vanity". This is something I discussed with heaven a week or 2 ago, in that, "Everything is important."

To truly consider the beauty of the Garden of God, you must also consider the inconsiderable.

I live near a creek, and summers bring on a ton of mosquitoes.

So for the last 4 years I've bought the "Off" brand outside spray fogger to repel mosquitoes, and that works well while I'm outside, but I do sometimes need to spray again if I'm outside longer than an hour. I'll go through 4 or 5 cans of the stuff over a summer.

But yesterday, I considered the inconsiderable, and I discussed a strange thing with God. I presented my case and asked if my flesh could be changed to repel biting insects.

Afterwards, out of curiosity, I checked to see if there were other land animals that repel mosquitoes (there are several species of plants that repel them, such as citronella - but I had never heard of, or even considered, animals whose scent repel them as well).

There are, in fact, people whose sweat produce scents that are un/less-appealing to mosquitoes: https://www.niaid.nih.gov/news-events/how-mosquitoes-smell-human-sweat

But while I wait for such a transformation to be completed, I'm wondering, how I will know when it has taken place? I don't currently plan on sitting outside without spraying first.
