Growing Your Faith: (Unedited): 29 April 2018:

Growing your faith is simple and does not require you to spend money on many books and/or many faith building conferences. The path to becoming more faithful and to becoming a stronger believer is simple. The hard part is actually doing these steps.
1). Repent of all of your sins daily. Flee from all sin.
2). Continually read the whole Holy Bible as if your starving or dying of thirst.
3). Pray and fast always.
4). Become obedient to all of the Commandments. Not because you have to but because you want to        and it is the right or righteous thing to do.
5). Seek and mediate on becoming holy and righteous in the accepting eyes of your Heavenly Father.
6). Meditate upon all that is holy and righteous.
7). Love one another without cessation. Even if a person expresses zero gratitude or is taking
      advantage of your deeds.
8). Live in peace with everyone.
9). Exist in harmony with all things.
10). Do these above things with no pride, no ego, no supremacy, no arrogance and no entitlements.
================
I have found listings for 167 books on how to grow your faith. Many two day conferences on how to grow your faith all over the country.
Here is the bottom line. You can spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars learning how to grow in faith and in spirit. But, you will never be able to approach God your father if you do not become holy and righteous by HIS own accepting eyes only. You cannot become holy and righteous if you are unrepentant and/or have zero intentions of sinning no more. You cannot become repentant if you do not believe and have faith in Jesus Christ. It is all tied together. For even the worldly pastors have deceived many and when many of these pastors die. They will hear from God these words. I never knew you.
I just saved you a ton of money and you didn't have to switch to Gecko.
Just remember Job and how God knew his character. Go and have the character like Job.
==============

Go and sin no more.

================
To avert all of the coming bad and sad prophecies. We each must decide to do the following everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.

To Love one another.

To live in peace with everyone.

To exist in harmony with all.

To Cherish all life.

To be obedient to the Laws of God.

To become righteous and holy by the accepting eyes of God only.

All without any pride, ego, arrogance, supremacy and entitlements.

First Spirit: (Unedited): 07 March 2015:

Yesterday, I felt the passing of my adopted Aunt DBW. She is about 347+ miles away.

My Aunt DBW suffered a long time with a muscular type of disease. She wrote books and  was always a gentle spirit of a genuine southern lady. Always wanting to do for others as she was able.
During the time of passing of my adopted father. There were many things in which I was highly sensitive to. Such as the Angels who were purposely trying to hide much of themselves from me in her home. They were there for her.  My Aunt DBW was also the first person whom I was able to actually see her spirit fully revealed. I also knew that it was her spirit which was keeping her alive and as active as possible. Her spirit emitted an internalized green color.

As of yesterday afternoon. She was freed of her sick body and is now alive more than ever. No rest in peace for this spirit and I am very certain her spirit is no longer a green color.
==============================
I would have very much liked to have spent more time with my adopted aunt and uncle. The wisdom I missed out on because of my own ego and arrogance. But, It seemed it was not to be. In my younger days I was raised to be bad and I was. I was very disrespectful and very selfish. I could have learned much about life from the both of them as they were the only ones who were welcoming.
----------------------------------------------
The faults and failures that we all have made in our lives can be forgiven and lives within the family circle can begin again. You the reader do not have to be outside of the family. You can become re-acquainted and accepted with your family once again. Just go and apologize. Just change your life and free yourself from doing wrong ever again. Especially if the legal sins of the world is what has taken you away from your genetic family. How can you be happy when you are separated from the family whom loved you. Were all human and we all have our own faults and failures. We all have our own sins and sin history. No one was given a book on how to raise "you". The "you" means to raise only "you". Because raising you is not the same as raising any other child. You had your own oddities and natural gifts and those hidden gifts which needed to be discovered and trained up. Yes, I know to many "Ands". I sort of did that on purpose for my Aunt DBW.
Everyone missed out on something in their own lives and in their own childhoods. It is easy to play the blame game and accuse your own parents of being awful in the raising of you. Most parents do the best they could. That is what you should see in your own parents. This is the positive side of thinking and feeling as opposed to the negative side of thinking and feeling. One feels good and the other feels bad. How do you want to feel in your life about your life? You do have the freedom to feel happy or sad.
--------------------------------
You who are physically alive and still spiritually asleep. Seek out what I call the living funeral. Go forth to your still living relatives and friends. Seek out forgiveness and offer forgiveness where appropriate.
By easing the minds and spirits of your loved ones or even former loved ones. You ease their woes in their last times of life. You at the same time ease your own guilt's for the remainder of your own days in this life. You also take away from your mind. Those typical statements at any wake where the loved one has already passed. You know, "I should have done more", "I should have been there", I should have said those important words", "I could have" or "I would have if I had known". If you go forth with a living funeral then you would have been in the loop when their passing had begun and you would have had that opportunity.
The living funeral also may hasten the passing of your loved one. Thus, easing their suffering when they know all of the words were said. All of the actions in life had been taken. Going to sleep for that last time is satisfactory. This makes for a beautiful passing when all of the loved ones are present expressing love instead of apathy or hatred or expectant gifts from the will.
------------------------------------------------
Everyday before you depart from your loved ones on any journey. No more the distance or the time away. You should always have a living funeral. So are you thinking how awful that would be? The living funeral evolves into expressions of love, gratitude and expectancy for life to continue, to move forward. Can you see how this works. Then if something happens. There wont be any regrets. The absence of regrets will be peace of mind, peace of heart and peace of spirit.

End of Musings of an American Truck driver series: Effective Quotes: (Unedited): 17 Jan 2014: 18 Jan 2014:

Yesterday 17 Jan 2014.
 I surrendered my CDL (Commercial Drivers License). Also, the selection of quotes for the third book of "Musings of an American truck Driver has been selected. I actually have more than 333 quotes selected. Some will probably not make the cut because of possible duplication or just not very good as defined by the Wife and children.
The third book should be published sometime soon. Just waiting on the artist to create a cover art. Also, waiting for the editing wife to begin her process.  Yes, it will be available all over the world via Amazon.com/books.
At this point not really sure if I will publish any more books and under that format. I have many books already outlined but no artist willing to do the art. That is the way I guess it goes with an unknown book writer such as myself. I have learned a lot and it was worth the effort in-spite of poor-dom. Quote books do not sell very well when all of the famous people give them all away. Which is as it should be. It is more important for people to think about things which can cause them to make decisive action to change their lives for the better.
=========================================
 First Quote after losing CDL:
 Effective Quotes: (Unedited): 18 Jan 2014:

"The effect of any profound quote is to cause a definitive positive action within the heart of the reader". 

C.J.MacKechnie

The word reader can be exchanged with listener or viewer as it applies.
==================================================
Because of the picture published inside of Volume 2. It raised the retail price  a little higher than I expected and dropped the profit received. So, volume 3 will not have any added art inside the cover. Volume 2 maybe re-published as volume 2.2. Not sure yet. Must consult the accountant wife.

Intellectual Apathy: Apathy Begins: (Unedited): 10 Sept 2013:

Intellectual apathy is worse than illiteracy.

 I was just talking to my son about how apathy causes a person not to become a benefit to anyone else. Then I discovered this news article tonight from yahoo.  It doesn't matter if the destruction is an old T.V., Computer, furniture or 250,000 books. Those people who have authority over those books do not care about anyone else let alone think about being a benefit to any poor library in this country or even the world. We each must choose to be a benefit, be a curse or be nothing to anyone. Which has been chosen? Which have you or I have chosen on a daily basis?
I have watched a family destroy a large T.V. that they could not sell and instead of giving it to Goodwill or the Salvation Army or any other charitable organization. They enjoyed themselves by aggressively destroying it. Just so that no one else would take it and enjoy it. It is still in their front yard - right now. (10 Sept 2013 @ 2120).

Apathy Begins: (Unedited): 10 Sept 2013:

Costume Gowns: (Unedited): 29 Dec 2006

Pretty garments and costume gowns isn't an indication of a holy man. C.J.MacKechnie

===============================================================
Suits and ties, Perfect hair and shiny shoes, Gowns and tassels, College degrees and books does not a holy person make.
A holy person is a person who has been crowned as a holy person by GOD, ALLAH, GRANDFATHER personally.   Not voted on by men. Not promoted or reported by man.
