| Message | Hi Ramone Since there was a space limitation I had to divide this message into two parts. Here is the rest: I ran across your blog while trying to get some information on the book SMALL MAN OF NANATAKI. I heard the book read on Family Radio many years ago. Backtracking a bit. I decided to do a web search to see if my memory was right about the title. I was off by one word from instead of "of." I mentioned this book to a friend when I shared an excerpt from wikipedia about Max Kolbe's decision to build a monastery on the other side of the mountain. He was told the location was not in tune with nature. But it was a good thing he had the monastery built on the "wrong" side. If it had been built on the "right" side of the mountain it would have been destroyed. Tragically "Uncle John" or the small man of Nanataki lost his family. Of course, being Lutheran, I will not say this makes the Roman Catholic church true and the Lutheran church false. Max Kolbe later died in Auschwitz. And I would not say his death proves that the Roman Catholic church was wrong. It was simply the way things worked out. I remember my elderly friend Grandma says "God is still in control." That means God is in control even when bad things happen. But I must admit I have a hard time accepting this. I'm a sinner and a limited finite human being. |

| Message | Hi Ramone I have to agree with your agonizing over the author Endo. I read his book on Christianity. I think he was off base. He had some interesting points, but I would say overall he was wrong. I don't even think he was really in tune with Roman Catholic or even "Mere Christianity." Since you are in Japan, have you heard of the Kakure Kirishitan? They were descendants of the original Japanese Roman Catholics. Unfortunately they fell into scyncretism. But when contact was reestablished, the majority accepted correction and were received back into the church. But a small minority refused correction and persist to this day. |

| Message | Hi Ramone Greetings in the name of Christ! Indeed this is heartening to me to chanced upon your blog today in particular. I have substituted church service with a personal prolonged time with God, seeking specifically about His desire for me in terms of my gifting in arts and direction in ministry. I always have a heart for japan. i believe in the deep psych in the japanese culture that resonates with the heart of Christ. I'm a devoted fan of manga/anime esp shonen style. The ideology behind these stories remind me often of Christ's call for us to never give up our First Love in the face of great difficulties. Im also encouraged by your deep understanding of the spiritual issue in this particular group of people. Indeed the bible has reminded us that "we no longer think from a worldly point of view". As christians, we have to brave spiritual battles each day to keep ourselves close to Jesus and by communing in the Spirit, then can we win the battle in the physical realm. God has shown me that He is alive and listening today!  I am seeking directions to join a japanese congregation in singapore (with the same busy culture as japan) and feeling satisfied of a fruitful morning. Like you, I am moving into the realm of drawing the mental pictures in my head that speaks of my relationship with Him. And thanks to your article, I have repented of my cowardice. I was not bold for Him due to fear of rejection. THank you for allowing Him to minister to me. God bless! |

| Message | AMAZING! I have been affected. I cannot wait to share your blog with all my friends. The art and heArt of your work is deep. I love how you link story with creativity and beauty. You are now one of my new favorite artists. In my house hang signed prints of Picasso and Chagall, actual pieces by Peter Max, Steynovitz, Bardet. And now I seek a piece from Ramone Romero. The depth and story in flowing from these works give color, intensity, feeling, emotion and beauty that few artists are able to strike with brush or stroke... Impressive... Blessings! pd |
