April 12, 2003 journal, perceived in Europe as an aggressor, facing sniper and suicide fire. Stressed to the limit of my bones I press forward to reveal the message that’s on my heart and mind. With all the interference Satan can put on one in one day, we must have grace to overcome and shine. “Let your light so shine before others that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven”. I am today submitting photos of 25 paintings to the American Visionary Art Museum to consider in their next annual show. Many of these I have done this year particularly on the war but including my first painting. I was handed a book entitled ‘The Masonic Christian Conflict’ explained by Keith Harris. On page 4, I quote "Freemasonry is identical to the ancient mystery religions, especially that of Ancient Egypt. Although the Era of Solomon's Temple plays a large part in Masonic lore, much symbolism, appellation, and ritual descent from Egyptian Legend. Freemason preserves the traditional practice of Old Testament Baal worship. This is reviewed in Chapter 5". The writer is careful to not offend his former Lodge friends. The Mason religion doctrine teaches that one is saved by good works and not by the grace of God. The Masonic vow is the most dangerous to our souls of all offences I sure believe. So we may have liberated Iraq, who now is going to liberate us from all of the security the 911 brought on? While our liberties we had left have vanished virtually in a year and a- half. We are going the way of all the world empires that you hear their names no more. There is a place for us fixed to live in victory here on earth even if they break our bones. There is a place of torment also while we are here if we align ourselves with the devil. Let us live a committed life to Christ and be delivered from the bonds of the evil one. You may go to church and set on the front row, you may sing in the choir, you may even be the preacher and you may also be possessed by a demon that manifest himself every chance he gets. I pray Lord for all those who are obsessed with this one and the same demon which is the devil in person in the spirit attaching to our spirit and influencing us for evil while he is tormenting us and never letting us rest. Show us the way of deliverance Lord and may our household be sanctified holy before thee at all-times. Teach us thy holiness and right. Iraq is at peace all so temporary while the spoils are divided and until another dictator of their ranks takes over to enslave them all over again in this cruel bitter world of unfairness. I will paint the last of my Iraq series today with a picture of Baghdad in rubble and bodies and with the American flag circling overhead like a rainbow. The caption will be at peace.

I leave next week for an art show in San Diego’s Little Italy area called Art Walk April 26,7. They represent it to have 65,000 people in attendance each year. To show a variety of my work including my abstracts. I look forward to this show and visit Balboa Gardens. It is said that this is the first time in history that we have liberated any country without a cause benefiting ourselves or defense and of course started by others. Half whit biased reporters would have us to think that no one is profiting off this war but the American companies are already being criticized for getting all the contracts to help rebuilding Iraq. I believe that the leading cause of the war was to put Iraqi oil back on international line. There has been no real weapons of mass destruction discovered, this is an embarrassment to the USA. There has been false alarms finding rusty drums underground and cankered. The loose cannons in Russia pose a real danger of supplying nuclear devices to the world. We must now suffer reaction from all those committed to Islam determine to get revenge. May the true and living God reveal himself to us now with the right message of the hour. Do we measure this war progress based on number of women and children we are killing?
