Topic: Faith

Date: June 3, 2026

Time :  03:23 EST – USA

(4 AM)

The sound of thunder is rolling down the beach, it echoes from the heavens, I believe.

I have faith that sound is from God himself .  This I can not prove, but I have faith this is it source.

So beautiful, powerful … filling they sky with sound and flashing light … … .

I love that sound.  It is one reasean I have remained to live here, next to the ocean near the beach.

Now, the rain start to fall, pitter-patter, softly, thunder in the background, many lightening strikes are viewable a great distances, observable over and across the horizon of dark water. …  the sound of waves  increases, their white caps smashing into the beach,  all of these sounds are a crescendo of a natural orchestra.  … it all begins to roar,  as the waves smash up on the sandy beach.

I watch alone, nobody is ever at the beach during these early hours.   I am awake, I have not much sleep for days.  Under a self imposed deadline to complete this ;Wembanyama Online project in a timely manner.  Now, the games have increased in number, the time is overwhelming me, …. I am so tired …  I can’t spend any more time typing on a computer, adjusting the program, and this crazy project …

 

It’s the NBA playoffs tonight.  I started in October 2025 with this project.  I wanted to do a modern 2026 version of what I did in the 1990’s for the ‘Zen Mater Phil’ while he coached Chicago.  I had no idea how to make money from this project. 

 

 … zen returns, peace, I begin to pray, again, without tears this time,  out load, , nobody can hear these words, just me, and just him , … … but   … I realize, this is something I have not done in far too long … … …

… I start to cry, again … … I know why … I know it well, …  it’s just between us, him and me.  It’s private.  a Private investigation of myself.  .  … of my Faith. 

 I cannot speak of it.  I don’t need to speak to anyone except him.  .  I have already suffered enough to pay for even my future sins.  Of this, I am certain he agrees …  …

I know there is all knowing on his understanding.  Even more so than my own comprehension.

Exhausted … I can’t work anymore today.  Too many hours on the idiot computer, and net …

Why? why would I do this … … this whole 8 month undertaking, this writing, this website, this basketball stuff … I have only myself to complete every single task, I have absolutely no financial gain from any of this work, … why?  I am nuts to have done this project.  But I must get it right, I must get it completed, 

 

I AM READY , 7 final games, 

I watched 45 games, I watched 8 dozen interviews, tons of videos, … and the website creation, it is pure difficulty, one mistake may take 10 hours to fix,

but I got it functional, not finished but , ready to finish,

why?

I guess because I loved basketball at the age 0f 8 … then three years ago, I saw Victor Wembanyama play basketball … what happened after that, resulted in all the print material within, all the videos, the entire website, 8 months of basketball creation.

NOE I am going to gift it to its rightful owner, … hopefully, 

Only he knows, Inshallah, Mashallah,

But I did it , its almost complete … The easy part remains …

It’s game 1 of the NBA Championship Finals tonight.

So, I pray, what else can be done, 

السَّمَاوَاتِ، لِيَتَقَدَّسَ اسْمُكَ. لِيَأْتِ مَلَكُوتُكَ. لِتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ، كَمَا فِي السَّمَاءِ كَذَلِكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. اعْطِنَا خُبْزَنَا كَفَافَنَا اليَوْمَ. وَاعْفُ عَنَّا مَا عَلَيْنَا، كَمَا نَعْفُو نَحْنُ أَيْضاً لِمَنْ لَنَا عَلَيْهِ. وَلاَ تُدْخِلْنَا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ، لَكِنْ نَجِّنَا مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ. لأَنَّ لَكَ

الْمُلْكَ، وَالْقُوَّةَ، وَالْمَجْدَ، إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِين.

Topic: Prayer & Faith – Basketball

I remember the first time I heard this sound, a call to prayer. 

 I did not know what I whas hearing at that time.  I was alone.  It was early morning, still dark, I heard this strange beautiful music, this  ‘noise’,  this call to prayer.  I walked to the balcony of the hotel room.  I looked over the city, Cairo, as far as I could see, tons of houses and building were in complete view … … I thought of it, 

Yes just right now on the beach, I began to recall the first time I heard this I Cairo.  I heard a prayer of calling, a calling to prayer.  I do not hear a call to prayer on the beach  in Arabic. 

I don’t hear the sounds of the Koran.  I do hear a sound that I believe is coming from the heavens, this orchestra of a storm on the beach are calls for me to pray.

… what a beautiful sound ,

… it was coming from so many different locations , as far as my ears could reach. 

My sense of hearing out distance my sense of sight,  I stood above the risng sound … the sun began to appear. I sat to watch this amazing sight.  thought … and then, I prayed. 

I prayed before every basketball game I ever played.  I never prayed to be granted a vctory.  I prayed for well beingh

I began praying in St. Joseph Catholic Church in first grade. I prayed every school day until 7th grade.

 I prayed hardest in the St. Joseph gymnasium.  Every time I crossed the basketball gym floor on my way into church service, I prayed to be a basketball player.

… one had to go and come from the church through thy gym.  This happened everyday at school. 

We attended Catholic mass every morning,  I prayed on my knees in church,  every morning of my life, when I was a young child.

…  but as I grew my knees began to hurt, and  as I got older, the Nuns would go nuts when I sat back from kneeling prayers to take pressure off my knees during prayer. 

A slap knock  in the back of my head would sometimes result from this act of prayer defiance.

 … … 

A Nun often grabbed and shoved me forward to push me back to a full kneeling position,  often was the Nun’s response to what they consider this rebellious  ‘devil childish act ‘…  …   I continued my prayers, what did they want,  … my knees were killing me during kneeling prayer sessions.

To walk from the church to the connected school rooms, one had to walk outside, in a strict two row system, in a no nonsense and no Tom  blessed foolery manner. 

 You could calso walk through the gymnasium, cross the gym floor to walk between the buildings.

I remember, at a very young age I prayed for God to let me to play basketball. 

I prayed every time we walked to and from church through the gym.

There were nice team photos on the wall at the entrance of the school.  these pictures had basketball teams …

The school had only seven grades of class teaching.  All those in the photos were athletes, boys and girls, I learned about at school.  I wanted God to allow me to be in a team picture of the school basketball team

Now, Doctor Dunkenstein is finished …  off to Pluto. 

BUT everytime I
