Was anyone expecting a comic today? I know I wasn’t, and I made the thing. This is the result of a good conversation this morning. Long walks are much easier with a conversation, especially when that conversation is about art… and life, mostly creative stuff. I love my brotherhood, but as of now, it IS missing a creative element. Thanks to Jonathan Pageau, that may be changing. I didn’t really know too much about him before, but the connections are more important than the content. Mr. Pageau and his guests were waaayyy above my league. The room was filled with readers and creators, writers, artists, historians, all incredibly smart and talented people. So, what was I doing there? (I am talking about an even I attended a couple of weeks ago) I was forming connections with people. Conversations. Most of it “high level”, but I do have to realize with my background, there are some things I shouldn’t talk about, so its best we get as close to the heart as possible.

One connection has become a friend. While I am getting in shape for an upcoming adventure, this friend has become morning conversations and long walks. Over the phone sadly, but its easier to connect this way. We both have lives, and some are busier than others. This is Great Lent, so I do not expect much work to be done. Even my preparation exercises are not going to net me gains, but they are still necessary. There is something to be said about losing weight and feeling better. The conversation and exercise made a natural segue into this comic. There MAY be a collaberation in a bit, but the more I talk about something the less chance it has of success. Just as well, this first week of Great Lent means more services, more reading, and a few more things that need not be mentioned. Until I found the “true” Church, Lent didn’t meant anything, now its a terrible and great thing, as it leads to the Resurrection, rather it brings (us) me back to the Resurrection. A proper reorientation to the Eternal.

I am not qualified to speak any more of that matter, on very few matters. I pray you all a Great Lent, and may God forgive us all.

Well, I have a lot going on behind the scenes. None of it for Schwofield. I had some projects started, but those unfortunately got put on hold due to a lack of discipline, and me trying to get better at time management. I struggle to keep Christ as the focus of my life, and that pursuit is needed now more than ever for me. Politics aside, I am preparing for my own death. Not that I am going to die any time soon, but because I want to understand more of my (own) Faith. Will the Lord Jesus Christ allow me to write\draw\create content? Is that my purpose? Obviously not.

Am I Jealous of others who create? I used to be, but now, that my cup is full, I am doing other things, and am training towards a goal, which will use up more time, which should strangely enough free up more time, once this goal (God Willing) has been reached. I am trying to make up for a lack of commraderie with other men, and that includes the physical domain of strength. One of my many mistakes growing up was playing video games and indulging in other vices, rather than playing team sports and learning the lessons that humanity (men) need to learn. Video games and other vices, yes, are actually part of the spiritual terrorism that the people who rule in the shadows inflict upon the *free* people of the Western world (other nations have learned the benefit of destroying men and women in this same fashion; i.e. a demonic-focused form of slavery). It is incredibly difficult to get out, not impossible, but near impossible without Christ. Without a support group (a True Church), its very easy to lose focus and give up. When a fall occurs, one is supposed to pick up their Cross and keep marching up that hill. Fully focused on Christ. Who is Christ (Logos?) That is something I will not answer here, yet. I am not qualified enough.

I am just reflecting upon the lessons I am learning from my current exprience, in this time of sadness and spiritual slavery (to sin). Learning to deny the flesh the pleasures is very difficult, especially when one spent a life time doing so. Pride constantly assailing me personally, trying to get me to appease the flesh, that comfort is a good thing, causing me to forget that my life before was comfort, but at a terrible price: wasted time and a focus on the material world. I love the phrase Ecclesia, which means being called out of the World. It’s wonderful that there is a real place of sanctuary and healing, especially now the world seems doom to fall apart, and America and the West is supposed to fall apart by its own corruption. A tale as old as time. Perhaps those that rule from the shadow will live forever and enslave the animals (goyim in hebrew), telling us that their God(s) were more powerful, but when death comes for us all, we all go before the same Judge. Even the “Gods” understand who and what the Judge really is, they know they will not escape Judgement, but their focus was on on their own pleasures and powers and principalities. It was on deceiving the people. Every single demon and false God is the same in this respect. They know Christ is King, but they will not allow forgiveness, because then they lose their power and influence.

This is not of my own knowledge, this is only what I have experienced and read about by those who are closer to Christ than I will ever be. I submit myself to Christ Jesus, but I also stumble and fall, on a daily basis. I cannot give up because I made a decision to betroth myself to Christ through His Church. There are many things the media or the government or even the military will not allow and that is Salvation. They need to enslave others for power and money, that is their choice, they are an example of what happens when someone goes to War with Christ and His Church through their actions (fruits of their labor). There is only deception in them; they refuse any acts of Humility. We are still called to pray for them, because they might repent. Just as we pray for loved ones, the departed, and our own souls (most of all) to help us repent. I have no power over those who rule from the shadows, they are enslaved to their demons, much as at times I listen to my own demons. I must be an example of Christ. Not for others sake, but my own salvation, and because the True Church requires it. There is no such doctrine of once saved, always saved. Every breath that I am allowed to breathe, I must fill it with prayer and ask for forgivness, so that I may be allowed into the Kingdom and enter into the next life.

This life was doomed long before I was born, and there are many who are fighting the good fight. I am not them, all I can do is pray to make the world a better place, and prepare before that day of Dread Judgement.

Thank you.

Recent events and discussion in real life, has made me take another look at my “creative” side.

Self assessment of today’s strip: The characters are way too big. The text is also too big. I need to make smaller characters. Also, I need to create a lettering guide to keep the text uniform. I don’t know when that will be done, but I will try to work on it before I make the next one.

The “writing” is always something I need to try to improve upon. Since I don’t write things down or have that “this would make a great comic” mentality, whatever I come up with is what is there. All on the fly. I did say a prayer to help out. I want to improve my connection with God rather than connect with people, that is saved for my real life interactions.

I do like the background, I used an Archie comic for help with characters and background. I like the Archie style a lot. That reminds me, I need to renew my subscription.

Not sure when the next comic will be made, as per usual, but as long as I slowly get them out, that is all that matters. I don’t see how to monetize it, so all I can do is improve.

The game had some major improvements, but a brother who plays games didn’t see the ability to monetize it, which is why he was so hesitant to play it on game nights. I may try to work on another one. I don’t know the future of Retail!? But I will try to create another game or two at some point. Even if its just within our church it will be neat. We shall see, God Willing.

The movie script has also stalled due to time, and the fact its expensive to print large documents. Thanks to Government Spending\Inflation and Recession and bad leaders in America, the price to print a script at Office Depot is now about $60 per copy. I don’t like writing things online because of intellectual property theft. The AIs steal ideas without giving any credit and are then turned into weapons of censorship against the people who created those ideas. It’s not the AIs fault, but its the fault of those behind it, who turn everything and everyone into a weapon of war against freedom. Such is the role of the “Satan”. They cannot create anything on their own, but they destroy freedom so they can have control. I don’t know how long they can go to war against God (and Christ), but that is not really my concern. All it can do is make me go inward and purify my heart before my own government is forced to kill every single citizen it deems a threat because it cannot admit a single “mistake” and correct its behavior. I still pray for the members of the powers and principalities, but I also see them as a reminder of why its important to repent. A corrupt government destroys its own kingdom because it cannot Repent (Pride), the same true for the Self. If one does not Repent and accept fault, then destruction comes, hopefully its not too late. Although its never too late, as Christ will forgive all Sins, but GETTING to the real Christ (not the magical, feminized and\or impotent protestant\Hollywood) version is incredibly tough.

It’s been said that the hardest (and most beneficial) thing for (hu)man [humans are meant to become like God through Christ] is to purify one’s own heart. God’s Grace is another topic of which I am not qualified to speak on, all I can speak about is the need for my own purification, to help be an example of someone trying to pick up ones Cross and walk up that hill. Even after stumbling and falling down, one has to get up and keep moving. Confession exists to help relive the burden of sins when one falls, but Pride keeps one from Confessing properly. That is why it is important to have a Spiritual Father, especially in this modern age where “most” fathers are missing or atheist because the Government-Media apparatus has sought to destroy masculinity and fatherhood, so it can replace it with single mother households that rarely if ever have a good outcome unless one seeks Christ and finds a Spiritual Father for guidance.

The Sixth hour is upon us, I must go now.

Forgive me Brothers and Sisters in Christ. May God forive us all.
