So folks good day to you. As my boys are here they like to monopolise the computer and so I had better be brief.
Watchfulness
Two swords cannot be kept in the same sheaf. We cant have old habits with enquiring who we are. Its taken us a billion years to get her. Now we have to jump out of ego and find out out who we really are.
When I was born I forgot what came before.
P G Kimble
My interest is in experience that is wordless and silent, and in the fact that this experience can be expressed for me in art which is also wordless and silent.
Agnus Martin (1912 - 2004)
The Buddha said hold on to the truth as a lamp. So Jesus, light of the world I shall clasp you so tight that you and me become one body. Amen and amen.
P G Kimble
So my brothers and sisters, the sun is shining here and either here where I am or there were you are, I hope that the lights of Christ will shine upon us and through us. Have a good weekend.
Your brother Peter

Good day my brothers and sisters. Its fish on Friday!
I was brought to tears earlier, by a couple of peoples testimonies on the `I am second` website. One that didnt bring me to tears, but was great to have been shared with me, was `whispering Danny` a tattoo artist. My loving God, Father I am in tears now over how powerful is your love. Its had Christians being able to sing hymns as they have been burnt alive. Awesome.
When I lived in the Philippines, a lot of Christians had car bumper stickers & t shirts saying `GOD 1ST`: So I was thinking about this. Isnt it amazing how we can have a thought like I did yesterday, type into our search engine, `I am second` and be connected with so many people through the love for God and each other. I think I need to be in a `I am second` group here in the south of England. The thing is that if there isnt one, then with my brain injury, I wont be much good at organising one, so I shall leave it in my masters hands. He may say, Peter my child have faith in Me and I will do it all through you. Umbot lang.
We can be overcomers, but only if we put God 1st. Following is a very strong prayer. It is also a very long prayer, but I pray that you can persist with it as it is really very powerfull and I believe If we will only give up doubts and pray this, we will see changes in our life and our world within two weeks. So if you believe this then pass it on to those you love and to strangers. Print it out if you are able and paste it to bus stops, or on the back of toilet doors. Honestly I tell you, God doesnt get offended if we pray whilst in the toilet. It says in the Bible to pray unceasingly!
Prayer at Daybreak-Archimandite Sophronios
O Lord Eternal and Creator of all things, who of Thy inscrutable goodness called me to this life; who bestowed on me the grace of Baptism and the seal of the Holy Spirit; who imbued me with the desire to seek thee, the one true God: hear my prayer.
I have no life, no light, no joy or wisdom; no strength exept in Thee, O God.
Because of my unrightousness I dare not raise my eyes to Thee.
But thou said to Thy disciples, `Whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do.`
Where I dare invoke Thee.
Purify me from all taint of flesh and spirit.
Teach me to pray alright.
Bless this day which thee give unto me, Thy unworthy servant.
By the power of Thy blessing enable me at all times to speak and to act to thy glory with a pure spirit, with humility, patience, love, gentleness, peace, courage and wisdom: aware always of Thy presence.
Of Thy immense goodness, O Lord God, show me the path of Thy will, and grant me to walk in Thy sight without sin.
O Lord, unto whom all hearts be open, Thee know what things I have need of.
Thee are aquainted with my blindness and my ignorance, Thee know my infirmity and my soul`s corruption; but neither are my pain and anguish hid from Thee.
Wherefore I beseech Thee, hear my prayer and by Thy Holy Spirit teach me the way wherein I should walk; and when my perverted will would lead me down other paths spare me not O Lord, but force me back to Thee.
By the power of Thy love, grant me to hold fast to that which is good.
Preserve me from every word or deed that corrups the soul; from every impulse unpleasing in Thy sight and hurtful to my brother-mankind.
Teach me what I should say and how I should speak.
If it be Thy will that I make no answer, inspire me to keep silent in a spirit of peace that causes neither sorrow nor hurt to my fellowman.
Establish me in the path of Thy commandments and to my last breath let me not stray from the light of Thy ordinances, that Thy commandments may become the sole law of my being on this earth and all eternity.
Yea, Lord, I pray to Thee, have pity on me.
In my foolishness O God, I plead with Thee for many and great thins. Yet I am ever mindful of my wichedness, my baseness, my vileness.
Have mercy upon me.
Cast me not away from your presence because of my presumption.
Do Thee rather increase in me this presumption, and grant unto me the worst of mankind, to love Thee as Thee commanded with all my heart, and with all my soul, and with all my mind, and with all my strength: With my whole being.
Yea, O Lord, by The Holy Spirit, teach me good judgement and knowledge.
Grant meto know Thy Truth before I go down into the grave.
Maintain my life in this world until I may offer unto Thee worthy repentance.
Take me not away in the midst of my days, nor while my mind is still blind.
When Thee shall be pleased to bring my life to an end, forewarn me that I may prepare my soul to come before Thee.
Be with me, O Lord, at that dread hour and grant me the joy of salvation.
Cleanse me from secret faults, from all iniquity that is hidden in me; and give me a right answer before Thy judgement-seat, Yea Lord, of Thy great mercy and immeasurable love for mankind be known to me.
Amen.
Let us go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Your brother in Christ, Peter G Kimble.

I am a watchman. I am not a walrus. I like some of the Beatles songs. I am not alone.
None of the following is by me and yet it is all by me.
Do not be surprised that you fall every day; do not give up, but stand your ground courageously. And assuredly, the angel who guards you will honour your patience.
St John of the cross.
You cannot destroy the passions on your own, but ask God, and He will destray them, if this is profitable for you.
St Anatoly of Optina.
The soul that really loves God and Christ, though it may do ten thousand righteousnesses, esteems itself as having wrought nothing, by reason of its insatiable aspiration after God. Though it should exhaust the body with fastings, with watching, its attitude towards the virues is as if it had not even begun to labour for them.
St Morcarius the Great.
****************************************
This is all for today my brothers and sisters. I took my mother to church this morning. Had to dissagree with our new young Rev Isabelle. She doesnt believe people like the Buddha will have eternal life as they didnt accept Jesus as their saviour. I respect her opinions and yet cant go along with many of them, but isnt that one of the many things which makes God so great; the diversity of His creations opinions!
simply yours, Peter. (you wont see and so I will tell you that I now having a loving smile for you.)

The universe is good today. My thanks for seeing the house keys I lost.
Good day my brothers and sisters.
Yesterday as I was walking down to one of the local shops, I noticed a little panda bear on a bunch of keys in the front window of someones house. I knocked and asked to see them and sure enough they were the ones I lost a little while back.
Took my elderly mother to the church hall this afternoon to play bingo. I won a pot plant.
That reminds me. I talked to my sister not twenty minutes ago. She suggested I tell you about an art `Peace` I am doing over the park. Some weeks, or even a month or so back, I made the word `LOVE` on a bit of grass in the fallen leaves from the trees. Every so often I go and tidy it up. It it works out then in the spring, when I take the leaves away, we should be able to see the word in the grass. Its a bit of a meditative peace as every time I go around it tidying it up then I reflect on the meaning.
My camera packed up working a couple of weeks ago and so I am waiting for my sister to get it fixed for me. Untill then I shall just have to descibe things to you!
Some quotes to share
A picture is a poem without words. Horice
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. Thomas Merton
Art is an invention of aesthetics, which intern is an invention of philosophers... What we call art
is a game. Octavio Paz
Art is a sane way to make sense out of life. P G Kimble
Art is not a thing; it is a way. Elbert Hubberd

Spiritual Evening Post: to be ignored by those not on a spiritual journey.
LATE EDITION
Pray for enemies
Lord Jesus Christ, who commands us to love our enemies, and those who defame and injure us, and to pray for them and forgive them; who Thyself didst pray for thine enemies, who crucified thee: Grant us we pray, the spirit of Christian reconciliation and meekness, that we may heartily forgive every injury and be reconciled with our enemies. Grant us to overcome the malevolence and offences of people with meekness and true love of our neighbour. We further beseech thee, O Lord, to grant to our enemies true peace and forgiveness of sins; and do not allow them to leave this life without true faith and sincere conversion. And help us repay evil with goodness, and to remain safe from the temptations of the devil and from all the perils which threaten us, in the form of visable and invisable enemies. Amen

Hi there where ever there is and you will think `I am here, not there.` or not.
Good day my brothers and sisters, Its rainy here in Luton. I have just got back from the park with the Buster. We picked up rubbish. Well I did. I am not sure that the young couple of Jehovah Witnesses were convinced when I told them it would be a good part of their service to Jehovah, if they always picked up any litter they came across, as if they noticed it, then their God saw if they ignored tidying up for Him!
I came across a song on youtube which I liked. Its called `Christ is Krishna.`
VEDA secrets from the EAST
In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy the only means of deliverance is chanting the holy name of the Lord. There is no other way.
Jesus Christ son of God, have mercy on me.
Im aware that this body I am presently using is just a vehicle, a field of action for the soul.An ordinary soul interacts with the body by using the senses and by feeling emotions such as lust and hate. However, taking help from a guru, a wise soul becomes detached from the material body. Such a person is humble, equipoised, and truly independent.
God is a Supersoul, who offers guidance to all souls, however wise or unwise they may be. Each soul can choose between following materialism or go on the path towards full enlightenment.
Those who choose to follow the Way, become awakened to the whole situation.
What does it mean , for one to be renounced?
Renunciation means detachment from the fruits of your work. One in the mode of goodness works dutifully but renounces the result. One in the mode of passion renounces work when it grows troublesome. One in ignorance renounces work out of laziness or confusion.
By seeing others as souls and acting with that understanding, you will stay in goodness. That takes a determined mind, but the initial trouble will later bring you hoppiness. Happiness in passion seems splendid at the start but ends up being painful. Happiness in ignorance, such as taking that which belongs to another is bitter from beginning to end.
By serving others we will learn to act and live in simple wisdom, controlling our mind and senses and renouncing the fruits of our work. Soon we will enjoy peace and insight as we achieve unprecedented happiness and appreciation for everyone. In such a state of mind we will attain the Body of Christ.
Peace and love to all beings. Your bro Peter.
Go in peace and love

Love goes through me out to the whole world and beyond. It just keeps on going.
BE GOOD DO GOOD and BE ONE
God lives in temples made by Him. Not the temples made by man.
Real love is no business,
mind that. It knows
surrender and dedication
of everything to him.
God is eternal, His power is eternal too.
Though we are unable to see Him physically,
He is not far from us.
Those who turn their face towards Him
will be saved.
It is all Masters grace.
We can become ascended masters only with help from outside.
Above are some of the sayings I have been meditating on. I will leave you with love.
Your brother Peter (ps. pass it on!)
