My Family-in-God,
I wrote this on the back of a piece of sheet music for guitar (I am compiling a huge library of the best music ever written, for the generations to come), on a city bus, almost verbatim. New Braunfels is a small city about 30 miles northeast of San Antonio. Please enjoy. Pray, pray, pray. Love, Ed.

Letters To The Editor
Express-News

I have studied the world religions for almost forty years, and in 1975 was Shown that Jesus is invisible (for just a short time longer) and is still the Messiah and King, and can be spoken to DIRECTLY, without need of ritualized words, a building, or a priestcraft that claims to own God. I also KNOW that the prophecies concerning the Last Days, Antichrist, the False Prophet (the pope), nuclear Armageddon, and the necessitated, fierce physical return of Jesus as Messiah and King are to occur IN OUR LIFETIMES (the signs are everywhere).
Considering this, I found a subtle (but all–too pervasive) and interesting display of atheism by the San Antonio Channel 5 weatherman, Jared Silverman, at noon today, 7-31-09, that all born-again Christians should note and explain to their children, in reference to a bunch of good folks in New Braunfels who gathered to PRAY for rain (how superstitious, yes?). It DID start raining even as they prayed, and Jared said, TWICE, that whatever RAIN DANCE they were doing they should send some our way (to S.A.). Apparently , according to Jared, and too many others, PRAYING IS THE SAME AS A “RAIN DANCE” (actually a legitimate form of prayer by our Native Americans, before their genocide). Imagine: these poor, superstitious fools in New Braunfels (and even elsewhere) actually still believe there is a God, and that He hears, and answers, prayer, in these “modern” Times. How quaint- I’m sure they mean well anyway, right?
Thanks for setting things straight, Jared. Oh, what “church” did you say you, and your family, attend?
