Josh Plovanic's Writings and Thoughts

Who cares if you were rejected here So what if doors were shut Oh well if they won't let you in their circles To me, bud, you are more valuable Than anything on this world More valuable than gold Or diamonds Or big trucks Or skyscrapers Or nice houses You are priceless to me, my dearest friend My love, you are precious to me Your mind can picture worlds And complexity And vibrancy And glory And wonder That if these people could see it They'd be blown away Soon, bud I'm going to take you to those places The ones you can only see in your mind Those worlds Those cities Those forests Those mountains That capitol city of all creation My palace My throneroom Soon, bud I am going to immerse you In my infinite love In my infinite glory In my perfect holiness Soon, my big guy You will be in My presence In my Kingdom With my angels And you will never feel rejected Or outcasted Or judged Or condemned By such a flawed and fallen world And such flawed and imperfect people Ever again I l...

As I continue my pursuit of the greatest liberty in life, I rest assured of my infinite liberty in eternity. I also meditate on freedom a Iot. How American of me. In my meditations, I often question what liberty is, what value it can achieve for me, and what kind of liberty I'm pursuing or acting on.      Liberty can divided and categorized in a variety of ways. One of those ways is the dichotomy of the liberty to do something versus the liberty from certain things. You need a healthy mixture of both types of liberty to be truly free. You want the ability to be able to make your own choices, but you also want to be free "from" certain things, like oppression, bondage, and hate.      Sometimes your liberty to do something can take a way yours or other's liberty "from" certain things, and sometimes your liberty from certain things can infringe upon your liberty to do certain things.    Liberty is not only about choices, its also about balance. A mod...

"But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" 2nd Peter 3:8 History has shown that the side of a war better at waging the long game is often more likely to win the war. A war of attrition is something most countries would like to avoid. When it comes to the big picture war, the divine war, the one that has been raging since the beginning, the long game is just part of the package. Looking at the big picture though, victory is inevitable for the good and true.  You cannot lose a war against darkness if you are born of light. Light conquers darkness because darkness doesn't exist. It's a void. Good always prevails. It's inevitable when these conflicts occur.  As for me and my struggles. I will win. No matter what happens, I will have victory over my sin, my fear, and my struggles. I will win, because I am a child of an infinite God.    A God who loves me like a son, and He will guide ...

     As I go through social media to look for cool quotes, read about black holes and stars, and attempt to focus my thoughts on Jesus, infinity, and eternity, I can't help but feel a state of such a strong disconnect with American culture, American entertainment, and especially American politics.    It's not that I don't care about these things, I just see them from a different vantage point. The vantage point of someone who worships an infinite God. As I became more immersed in my biggest possible belief system, the more disenchanted and less of a priority the trivialities, sillyness, and simplicities of our culture and politics became.  These things became less significant, less important, and less valuable. I don't even see myself as a Democrat, Republican, liberal, or conservative anymore. I see myself more as someone who tries to think independently of the confines of mass media and ideological groupthink.  Hell, if existence is truly infinite an...

    Over time, the meaning of some words can change. Some words become so redundant that the potency of what they mean is greatly reduced. They are no longer effective. Other words become corrupted, even twisted, to mean something they weren't intended to mean, like a perversion of the word that is much darker and more twisted than its original meaning.      There is one word I've noticed that I have yet to see corrupted and it losing its meaning or being twisted in an evil way, and that is the word "love." I can't think of an example where the word love was twisted in a way that changed its meaning. You can love bad things and love things you shouldn't, but the word love still retains its positive meaning.         It's that one word that I think cannot be perverted or corrupted.  Love is too good of a word to be laid low and broken down to where its meaning is changed or lost. It's too powerful of a concept, and there is no other w...

I saw angels once At least I thought I did They were like ghosts Apparitions in the air Their bodies faint as smoke You could see right through them You could barely see them at all The wings were just outlined Just giant arches coming off the apparitions backs You couldn't see skin Just a faint body. There were three of them They were smiling at me You should have seen the middle one's smile It was perfect, even mischievous Just nothing but love emanating from the grin You see this smile, and all fear is gone There is no more grief Anger fades to peace Sadness fades to joy And if but for a moment I felt truly happy Truly joyful Like hope and love were blankets you can wrap yourself in That smile. I'll never forget that smile It wiped my fear and pain away If but for a moment The angel gave me hope And a grin I long to see again I will see that angel again I will see his smile His smile that wipes out my fear That perfect smile.

To me, God is a god of the purest liberty. Absolute Liberty. Perfect Liberty. The liberty of His perfect love and perfect glory. As my life goes into the future, I have a hope and a trust that I will share in this liberty in the most flawless and purest of ways.  I have a hope and a feeling that Jesus is going to liberate this world soon. I have a trust that liberation for this world is on its way. I trust that the King knows the perfect time and precise method to break the bonds that deception and fear have ensnared the world in.     The infinite King, whose light is flawless and whose truth is uncorrupted and completely full, is going to purge out all the darkness here. He is going to set free a world led astray by darkness and lies.      I believe this, because I choose to. The hope of a liberation from the lies that dominate this place is a powerful motivator for me. I believe God is going to give us a liberty from fear, a liberty from hate, a...
