Moments with Dr Steve – Number Fifty-four
Through Gates of Fire – Number Nine
Divine Arithmetic
As ‘Through Gates of Fire – Vol One – Wingless Flight’ – takes shape, the caretaker character – Tommy – the adoptive father of the messianic child – the one who inherits and bears the ‘Stream of Mercy’ – Flash Bastion – Tommy is confronted with the enormity of his personal sins.
Personal Sins and their Moral Atomic Weight
I love overly religious people.
I love their smugness and then their inborn and innate – religious arrogance.
Their equal are the morally righteous agnostics and atheistic counterparts who think their societal perch provides them eternal cover.

His life as a drunk left him ever exposed to both proper criticisms and then the social outcast that only drunkards and criminals properly comprehend – comprehend and the experience.
Tommy found himself wallowing in his own moral ugliness….

-
He began recognizing the impact his drunken and twisted life-long behavior had upon himself and his community
-
He understood that raising a child in a proper way – given his past – was unthinkable – and then the most unlikely of choices for this gifted child
-
He prayed God would ‘un-chose’ and deselect him from his appointed and seemingly insurmountable task – the task of caring for and properly providing safe passage for this child-messiah and ‘Moral Trust Fund Recipient’
Tommy felt outmatched.
God’s Divine Arithmetic

‘Divine Arithmetic’ means that as you live into ‘The Daily Code’ – God fixes and repairs past transgressions
-
How?
-
By accepting the good you do for others as recompense and absolution for what sins you have committed in the past
-
God – goes behind you – and erases both the memory and then the jarring impact of your past sins
-
Living into and exhibiting ‘The Daily Code’ brings about closure
-
Living into and exhibiting ‘The Daily Code’ reframes your social + economic + spiritual + cultural standing
