Jesus Christ

Apparently, Jesus never intended to create a religion. He saw himself as acting within Judaism.
He was baptised by John the Baptist at the Jordan River. His baptism was supposedly one of repentance. Although Jesus did not need such a baptism, he consented to it to identify himself with sinners. Jesus’ baptism was the scene of the first appearance of the Trinity. The Son was baptized, the Father spoke, and the Holy Spirit descended like a dove.
Jesus’ first miracle is when he turns water into wine, illustrating his divine power over the elements. He would show this same power in more miracles of healing and the control of the elements such as wind and the sea. The disciples always believed in Jesus, but the miracles helped to strengthen their faith and prepare them for the difficult times that lay ahead.
Did Jesus have a halo?
When you look at a newborn baby, do you sense that the baby has a glow? They say that everyone who produces energy (electrical, or otherwise) has an aura. Jesus was said to have a golden aura. Gold and yellow auras are typically associated with religious or highly spiritual people. Although aural colours can change depending on one’s mood, we have a primary colour that we revert to and that is reflective of one’s personal energy. 

Still Ticking...

I have not been writing much recently. Book #3, tentatively entitled "Ticking: Finding Jesus", is about 85% complete. The chrononauts travel to ancient Galilee to see if Jesus Christ actually existed. They may have underestimated the influence of the Roman Legion at the time, as one of them is forced to join what some have called the greatest army in history.
I had heart surgery to repair a valve on September 28. I was at home, recovering, when I experienced atrial fibrillation (a “not unusual” result of this type of surgery). I had two cardioversions (electric paddles to the heart) done to correct the heart rhythm. But still I felt awful. Finally, the doctors drained fluid from the sac that surrounds the heart, about 750 mls.
I am feeling better now, but I swear that I saw the Son of God smiling at me during my hospital stay. Might that have some bearing on the plot for "Ticking: Finding Jesus"?

So glad you are recovering from your heart problems! No surprise that this should happen while you were writing “Looking for Jesus.” I’m excited to read all your books! I’m going to re-read the first one to refresh myself with the story and characters. Such a fun and entertaining adventure with great historical detail! Just what we need today! Take a look at The Chosen series, put out by Angel Studios. It’s a dramatic version of Jesus’ life like you’ve never seen before! See you at the book launch in April! Can’t wait!
