Not pulling punches. Just the truth.....Hey..... I'm just finding so much depression and darkness creeping in my life lately.<div><br /></div><div> And I'm trying to keep my eyes and heart focused on the good.</div><div><br /></div><div> But, it seems all I see lately is desperate times and being taken advantage of because of my good nature, that I've tried to uphold over all these years.</div><div><br /></div><div> And I was praying last night, and as I lay in bed....</div><div><br /></div><div> I asked for strength to keep moving forward.</div><div><br /></div><div> And once again, that still, small voice breaks through my pain, agony and distress.</div><div><br /></div><div> " Child, just listen to my voice. I'll never let harm come to you."</div><div><br /></div><div> After suffering incredible personal losses in the last year and a half: my wife's passing, losing my home, losing all we had strived and slaved for over 30+ years, and now....losing my only begotten 2 months ago. And now living in a housing situation that includes non-working showers and sinks, still dealing with situations that have put my existence to threat....</div><div><br /></div><div> I still live....</div><div><br /></div><div> I still "suck air"....</div><div><br /></div><div> And that's what the Grace of Jesus is about....</div><div><br /></div><div>....<3'n Jesus Always, k</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>TheLaughsOnUshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09747905437385525449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-124010172594257775.post-25425234181568724002020-10-18T06:41:00.006-04:002020-10-18T22:22:39.591-04:00Well, Let's see what insights I come up with now, after losing my legacy.......<p> </p><p> I just felt like writing this morning. </p><p> And I haven't wanted to talk about anything lately....</p><p> I know it's early on a Sunday morning, but I can't hold back much more....</p><p>The standard protocol for anyone that carries the prophetic gift from God, from what I've watched and learned over the years, is YOU go through it before it manifests in others lives around you.</p><p> And what I see is a 'Time of Testing' coming.</p><p> Doesn't mean His children won't receive some FANTASTIC blessings, but.....learn to share those blessings.</p><p> Because otherwise, they'll be stripped from you.</p><p> I've been challenged a lot lately. physically, mentally, but most important Spiritually.</p><p> And just because of the events over the last year and a half, </p><p>I should have just written it all off like taxes.</p><p> I want to encourage you today.</p><p>You are watched over.. God has not forgotten you.</p><p> Lately, I've begun to see the angels that stand behind us, over every stranger that has walked in my doors lately.. And seen the massive presence that follows us daily.</p><p> Those 'huge hands on your shoulder as you sleep'.....</p><p>I've had so many strangers walk in my door in the last week. </p><p> Had a fellow walk in tonight. The others were cooking in the kitchen, so he had nothing to do. He sat down and introduced himself. And then.....</p><p> I began to see, and then speak what I heard. And he began to cry.......</p><p> I never expected that. I've felt like such a desperate person the last year. Lost so much. Wishing I could once again hear the clear Voice of the Lord for His Guidance. </p><p> And yet, I hear only the Whispers.....</p><p> Secrets to be passed on.....</p><p> Guess I better pay closer attention.....</p><p>....Love in Jesus Always, k.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p>TheLaughsOnUshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09747905437385525449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-124010172594257775.post-9464198674885479442020-09-24T19:59:00.004-04:002020-09-28T08:44:53.617-04:00Well, The "Job" Experience Continues......LOL!<p> </p><p> Dear Readers,</p><p> What A Long, Strange Journey It Has Become.....</p><p>I Don't Have Boils, (Thank God!) Yet, In The Last Few Years, I've Lost Everything. And To Some, That Sounds Like A Death Sentence.</p><p> Lost My Girl Last April After 32 Years. </p><p> Lost All Our Posessions We Gained Over The Decades.</p><p>Now,.... August 23rd,.... I Lost My Only Son At 31 Years Of Age.</p><p> Yet, Have I Cursed God? No. My Faith Now Is Stronger Than It's Ever Been.</p><p> Because We Are Not Promised Tomorrow. </p><p>I Never Thought Of Losing My Only Namesake.</p><p>Yet, The Father Is Gracious. He Brings Those Needed To Our Sides...</p><p>Be Aware Of What The Holy Spirit Shows You Each Day. Though My Heart Is Torn And Broken In The Natural, I Have Finally Learned To Rise Above.</p><p> The Father Has Kept Me Here, Though Those I Loved Have Been Taken.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I Will Not Give In To Despair. Just What The Enemy Wants. Yet, I Will Stand And Declare The Glory I Have Been Witness Too. </p><p>I Still Stand And Breathe....Until The Trumpet Blows...</p><p><br /></p><p>And I Have A New Love In My Life. My Queen, My Tiffany....And She Makes Me Overjoyed. Thank You, Jesus, For Her.....</p><p><br /></p><p>That's It For Now. All I Could Type. (Emo Times, LOL!)</p><p>I'll Post Again Soon. I Still Have Much To Process...<3'n Jesus Always, k.</p><p><br /></p>TheLaughsOnUshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09747905437385525449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-124010172594257775.post-53301994240594404282020-06-11T07:02:00.002-04:002020-06-11T07:04:31.666-04:00It's Been 432 Days Since My Life Changed Forever...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<br />
1 Year...2 Months....5 Days....<br />
<br />
I Realize I Haven't Posted Since January, But It's Easier To Make Excuses Than Taking Actions.<br />
<br />
Sure, I've Had Some Very Bad Days Lately. My Son, Whom I Live With Now, Has Suffered Much The Same Mentally, Spiritually And Especially, Physically.<br />
<br />
A Hospitalization Or 2; No Big Deal In My Life, At This Point.<br />
Yet, I Breathe Today. And I Thank Jesus, I Can Walk, Hear (Somewhat, LOL!), Speak, And Rise Out Of Bed.<br />
<br />
Each Day You Wake And Breathe, Is A Miracle.<br />
<br />
Don't Overlook The Simplicities And Miracles Daily In Your Life. These Are The Days And Times When You Will Learn The Most. The Father Is Always In Control. Nothing Ever Escapes His Eye.<br />
<br />
Even Now, We Enter Even Greater Days Of Uncertainty. Locally, Statewide, Nationwide....And Earthwide. Disasters The Scale Of Which Have Not Been Recorded In Modern Times Have Already Begun. And Shall Continue To Escalate.<br />
<br />
But The Message I Have Is Never One Of Destruction. That's Not The Definition Of The Gift Of Prophecy, One Of The 9 Granted.<br />
And Please, I'm Not Saying By Any Means I Am Some Sort Of Seer Or Prophet.<br />
<br />
Listen....Take Just A Moment Out Of Your Hectic Day, Stop And Breathe, And Consider These Verses:<br />
<br />

<br />
Perhaps An "Internet Glitch " Shall Happen.<br />
<br />
Perhaps A "404" Error Will Show Up....<br />
<br />
But Continue, To Seek TRUTH.<br />
<br />
For Those Who Seek, Shall Find.<br />
<br />
Your Heart Has Questions. Yet...No Answers That Have That Heartfelt Ring Of Truth To Them.<br />
<br />
Questions You Won't, Or Dare Not Bring Into Everyday Conversations, Without Being Considered<br />
A Nutcase, Dangerous Or Considered "Subversive" To The Status Quo.<br />
<br />
Subject To Being Silenced Or Stifled By Those Who Truly Have No Power, Except What The Lord<br />
God Sees Fit To Allow.<br />
<br />
Your Minds Run, From The Turmoil Of The Many Voices Speaking Gibberish To The Core Of Who<br />
You Truly Are, And Have Been Designed To Be By The Creator.<br />
<br />
Yes...Our World Has Changed. Your/Our/Governments Opinions Don't Matter Anymore...<br />
<br />
What Matters Is The Opinions Of The One Who Holds This World And Untold Universes & The<br />
Sands Of Time Within The Palm Of His Hand...And He Considers The Ways Of Men.<br />
<br />
From Birth, We Are Taught To Stand Against The Winds Of Change. To Adapt And Overcome The<br />
Challenges Of Our Brief Mortal Lives. For Our Lives Are But A Brief Flicker In The Sands Of<br />
Time.<br />
<br />
Yet, You Are Made More Than A Whisper Across The Sands Of Centuries. You Have Been Created<br />
To Be An Eternal Being, Unfettered By The Demands Of Mortal Men Or Self-Appointed Ruling<br />
"Authorities".<br />
<br />
He Who Walks Upon The Stones Of Fire Desires Your Thoughts And Conversation. As A Mother<br />
Runs To The Cooing Or Crying Of Her Child.<br />
<br />
Jesus Is By Your Side Each Day. Drawing You. Wooing You. "Come Home To Me And Let Me<br />
Cover Your Wounds With Salve. Let Me Take Away The Pain And Anguish."<br />
<br />
Desiring To Give You Comfort In A World Seemingly Gone Mad....Full Of Anger, Strife, Misery,<br />
And Unfulfilled Expectations.<br />
<br />
Oh, Loved Ones Of Russia! He Has Seen Each Tear, Shed Every Second Of Your Brief Lives. Yet,<br />
Hold Fast To The Fire Stoked In Your Hearts. That Eternal Fire Is An Unquenchable Flame That<br />
Man, Nor Beast, Nor Unimaginable Disasters Will Ever Put Out.<br />
<br />
One Man, Innocent And Free From Guile Or Deceit.<br />
<br />
One Man..Accused Of Crossing The Lines Of 'Acceptable Societal Behavior' For Nothing More<br />
Than Speaking Truth Others Dared Not.<br />
<br />
One Man. Scorned, Mocked, Beaten And Crucified, Because Mortal Men Would Not Accept Simple<br />
Wisdom And Truth.<br />
<br />
Because They Relished Darkness More Than Light.<br />
<br />
One Man, With Nothing But A Heart Of Intense, Flaming, Fiery Love For Those He Helped Create.<br />
<br />
One Man.....Jesus, The Christ.<br />
<br />
I Have Walked This Earth Almost 6 Decades Come The 18th Of This Next Month.<br />
<br />
In My Youth, I Was Stupid, Naive And Sought Only That Which Pleased My Flesh. And Yet The<br />
More Years That Pass, I Look Back And Realize What I Had Missed Or Had Not Been Instructed<br />
Upon Earlier.<br />
<br />
My Flesh Was My Daily Feast. Yet As The Years, Decades And Disappointments Of Life Moved<br />
On, The Dissatisfaction Of Life Continued, For Time Stops For No Man Or Woman.<br />
<br />
Lift Your Eyes, Those Of The Northern Regions Of Russia And Heartstrong.<br />
<br />
Your Future Lies Not In Self-Appointed Feeble, Fallible And Mortal Men.<br />
<br />
Your Future Is Your Own As Mortal Men And Women Whose Hearts And Lives Are Not Placed In<br />
The Hands Of Those Aforementioned.<br />
<br />
Your Futures Now Lie Within The Hands Of The Living God.<br />
<br />
If You Will But Turn Your Hearts From The Deceptions Of Those Whose Lives Are As Fragile As<br />
The Morning Flowers In The Blazing Heat Of The Midday Sun That Wilts Them In It's Gaze.<br />
<br />
Empires Have Come And Gone Over The Ages. Emporers And Kings Lie In The Dust After<br />
Declaring Their Omnipresence Over The Masses.<br />
<br />
Yet One Name Has Stood The Test Of Time, Wars, Revolutions, Plagues, Disasters Both Manmade<br />
And Natural.<br />
<br />
Run Now To Jesus, For His Arms Are Open And Welcoming.<br />
<br />
Lay Down Your Weaknesses, Faults And Sins Before Him.<br />
<br />
And Find Strength, Wisdom, Love And Forgiveness Like You Have Never Experienced In This Brief Mortal Life, Because The Best Is Yet To Come....<br />
<br />
I'll See You On The Other Side And We Will Rejoice Forever & Eternally.<br />
<br />
...Love In Jesus Always,k<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Hear Now, Those With Ears To Hear...<br />
<br />
The Way Of The Lord Is The Way Of Love And Walking In Forgiveness.<br />
<br />
If You Honestly Desire To Follow Jesus Christ, You Have To Strive To Become The Mirror Image Of The Master.<br />
<br />
Not Some Imitation Of Him, In Who There Was No Hesitation To Sometimes Suffering For Others.<br />
<br />
He Came To Give Life Abundantly.<br />
<br />
And Sometimes Dark Times Become The Times Of Your Greatest Learning Of Wisdom.<br />
<br />
Life Can Be Short.<br />
<br />
Make The Right Choices Today.<br />
<br />
I've Suffered More In The Last 2-3 Years Than I Had Ever Suffered Through My Entire Life.<br />
<br />
Yet My Brothers And Sister's In Ukraine, Look Up Now. Focus Not On The Waves And Storms Like Peter Dod, Yet Keep Your Eyes On The Master.<br />
<br />
The One Who Has Known You Before Birth.<br />
<br />
The One Who Has Your Life In The Palm Of His Hand.<br />
<br />
His Wisdom Will Guide You Each Day, And Your Hearts Of Fire Against Injustice Will Rise As One.<br />
<br />
His Spirit Blows Throughout The Earth Now. To Those Who Want Change For The Better In Their Lives And Those Around Them.<br />
<br />
To Those Who Appreciate That They Have Been Given Life And Freedom Against The Odds.<br />
<br />
Throw Off Your Chains, #Ukriane.<br />
<br />
My Opinions Are My Own, And Fashioned By The Unrelenting Forgiveness In Jesus.<br />
<br />
...<3'n Jesus Always,k.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The Last Year Of My Life Has Been A Job-Like Experience.<br />
<br />
I've Lost Everything I Thought Once Precious.<br />
<br />
My Wife & Friend Of 32 Years 6 Months Ago Under The Most Traumatic Of Circumstances.<br />
<br />
Evicted From My Home And The Majority Of My Possesions Only 2 Months After Her Passing.<br />
<br />
I've Had To Move Place To Place a Few Times After Being Displaced.<br />
<br />
And Now I Live In A House That Unknowingly Had A Bedbug Infestation, Barely Working Toilet Facilities With No Heat And Destroyed Beyond Belief.<br />
<br />
I've Had Multiple Health Issues With My Parkinson's, Heart And Stress Related Problems.<br />
<br />
I've Been Emotionally Vulnerable, And Been Taken Advantage Because Of It.<br />
<br />
And Yet I Walk On.<br />
<br />
I Will Not Give Up Nor Give In.<br />
<br />
I Will Not Give Up Even If He Slays Me.<br />
<br />
And I Say This Now, Do Not Give Up On Your Faith In Jesus.<br />
<br />
He Will Deliver On His Promises.<br />
<br />
In This Day And Age Of Extremism, And A Vast Divide Growing Between What Is Right And What Is Wrong, I Will Carry On.<br />
<br />
He Does Not Forget His Own.<br />
<br />
Share If You Will To Encourage Others Through Their Trials.<br />
<br />
Amos 3:17 "For The Lord God Does Nothing Without First Revealing His Plans To His Servants The Prophets."<br />
<br />
I'll Write More Later.<br />
<br />
Be Blessed....<3'n Jesus Always,k<br />

The World Of The Northerns...<br />
<br />
You Have Felt Abandoned Of The Lord At Times.<br />
<br />
Yet, You Are Preserved.<br />
<br />
You Survive, By The Lessons You Have Learned.<br />
<br />
The Lord Your God, Whom You Have Sought With Your Whole Hearts In The Times Of Despair....<br />
<br />
He Has Heard The Cries Of Your Hearts.<br />
<br />
Look To The Heavens Now.<br />
<br />
Because HE SHALL Perform His Word To You.....<br />

<br />
<br />
I Know I Haven't Updated Since April. My Apologies...<br />
<br />
It's Not Been A Fun Ride, But Walking With Jesus Never Is.<br />
<br />
In The Last 3 Months, I've Lost My Best Friend & Love Of 32 Years, Had All Finances Stripped From Me, Been Close To A Complete Mental Breakdown, Had Adult Protective Services Called On Us, My Neighbor Upstairs Has Threatened Me And My Son With Physical Harm Over Nothing And I've Been Taken To Court To Be Legally Evicted From My Home Of Over 16 Years Now.<br />
<br />
Yet God's Grace Has Sustained Me. And Amazes Me More Each Day.<br />
The Results Of Trusting Jesus With Everything I Have:<br />
<br />
I've Been Successfully Connected To One Of The Biggest & Most Successful Law Firms Here In Buffalo For My SSI/SSD Case That Has Dragged For Years, With Them Claiming Extreme Financial Hardship To Get My SECOND Hearing Granted Quicker.<br />
<br />
I've Gotten Help From My Social Services Caseworker, Above And Beyond The Call Of Duty.<br />
<br />
I've Had The Adult Protective Services Senior CaseWorker Behind Me a 1000%.<br />
<br />
I'm Back In Grief Counseling And My Counselor Has Filled Out An Online Application To Help Me Find Housing And Get Rental Assistance.<br />
<br />
I've Had Tons Of Friends And Acquaintances Looking For Adequate And Affordable Housing For Me And My Son.<br />
<br />
During The Housing Court Eviction Proceedings, Of Which I Wasn't Even Allowed In The Court For, I Don't Owe My Landlord The Last 2 Months Rent Of $1300, And I Don't Owe Him For July Either. By The Way, The Judge Did Not Grant A Court Ordered Eviction, and Also Gave Me Until The End Of JULY To Move Out.<br />
<br />
I Received My Medical Exclusion From Social Services Work Program Due To Disabilities, Which Means I Am Now Eligible For Some Cash Assistance.<br />
<br />
And Probably More Blessings That I Am Currently Forgetting At This Late Hour Of The Day.<br />
<br />
See.....My Jesus Is Not Dead.<br />
<br />
In Fact, He's More Alive In Me Now Than I Have Ever Felt Since I First Met Him.<br />
Doesn't Mean It's Getting Easier. The Battles Are Tougher, But Hanging Tight To Him Has Been An Eye-Opener.<br />
When You Have Nothing Other Than Him And His Promises To Trust In, Then, The Battle Is Then Won.<br />
<br />
As Humans, We Don't Like Being Outnumbered, Overwhelmed By The Enemy, Or Denied Even Creature Comforts.<br />
<br />
I Don't. Do You?<br />
<br />
Yet He That Sits In Heaven Sees All. And He Considers The Ways Of Men.<br />
<br />
What On This Earth Can You Ultimately Trust In?<br />
<br />
Your Government? LOLZ! Like Ants Before His Eyes, Power And Ability.<br />
<br />
Your "Church"? Better Sometimes To Beg In The Streets.<br />
<br />
Your "Friends & Family"? See Number 2. #NuffSaid<br />
<br />
Yourselves? Please.....<br />
<br />
We Are Frail, Fragile, Decrepit, Worthless, Pride-Filled Pieces Of Various Weights & Heights Standing On 2 Shaky Limbs, Waving Our Arms About Like A Bad Car Dealer Advertising Ploy, Full Of Hot Air And Frantically Waving Arms And Bobbing Through Life Like Our Heads Are Not Screwed On Straight. And No, Their Not.<br />
<br />
#BeHonestWithYourselves<br />
<br />
Jesus Came To Help Us Escape The Drudge Of Everyday Mundane Life To Show Us There Was Something Beyond This Pile Of Cr*p.<br />
<br />
Yeah, I Know. "Not Very Christian-Like To Use Those Words.<br />
<br />
Sorry. I'm Still Flawed And Very Human. But Like Jesus, I Will Identify On Your Level.<br />
<br />
I'm Not Going To Take The Stance Of Many 'Successful' Preachers, Evangelists, 'Charlatans', That<br />
YOU Need To Just Buy My Books, Teaching Tapes And Become A Monthly Donor To Become A 'Godly' Success Like Me! And Let Me Send You This "Free Gift" Of Holy Anointing Water! Just Put It On Your Checkbook And Watch The Checks Roll In!!!!!<br />
<br />
My Master Owned A Robe And Sandals. That's It.<br />
<br />
And If He Could Make It Just Fine, With An Entourage Following Behind Him And Make It....I Got No Worries.<br />
<br />
And As For The Prophetic....A Lot Happening. But I Haven't Been Given A Voice Yet To Speak Of Things. Still Praying About What I've Been Shown.<br />
<br />
But I've Seen A Great Uptick In Fulfillments.<br />
<br />
But What I Do See Happening....A Need That Cries Out Deep From The Hearts Of Individuals. The Pressure Is Becoming Overwhelming. You Either Give In To God's Forgiveness, Grace, Truth And Love. Or You Give Up To Despair, Discouragement And Defeat. And That End Isn't Pretty.<br />
<br />
My Late Wife And I Talked To And Ministered To Far Too Many People Over The Years Now.<br />
<br />
Some Listen. Some Don't.<br />
<br />
Some Are Very Successful And Light Years Past Where They Were When We Took Them In.<br />
<br />
Others, Not Heeding Wisdom, Lie Under Stone Memorials Or Plaques Until The Day Of Resurrection.<br />
<br />
I Hope Sharing This Helped Even ONE PERSON.<br />
<br />
Do NOT GIVE UP! The Father Refines And Purifies Those He Loves With An Intense, Burning And Everlasting Love.<br />
<br />
If You Don't Know Jesus Personally, Just Like I Didn't 38 Years Ago In My Bedroom At 3:00 In The Morning Hearing Demonic Voices Telling Me To Go Kill My Mom In Her Sleep, Just Ask Him Now.<br />
<br />
He's Waiting. And Has Been Waiting For That One Moment.<br />
<br />
And Maybe Now Is The Time To Surrender Your Temporary World,<br />
To His Glorious, Eternal One.<br />
<br />

<br />
(Update 6/3/2019: I Appreciate The Tremendous Uptick In Views Yesterday.<br />
I Just Happened To Check Tonight, (Sundays Are Never 'Busy', So To Speak.)<br />
But I Was A Little Overwhelmed At The Massive Increase.<br />
I Plan On Posting Again Soon. I'm Trying To Still Come Out Of The Fog.<br />
....<3'n Jesus Always,k.)<br />
<br />
<br />
On April 6th, At 2:42P.M, My Beloved Wife, Friend And Sister In The Lord, Went Home To Be With Her Master & Savior, Jesus.<br />
<br />
She Fought A Tremendous Battle Of Spirit And Will For Over A Month In A CVICU (Cardio Vascular Intensive Care Unit) Floor Here In Our City.<br />
<br />
Through Erratic Heart Rythyms Like A Rollercoaster.<br />
<br />
Through A Half-Blocked Aortic Valve.<br />
<br />
Through Internal Bleeding And Liver Failure.<br />
<br />
Through Kidney Dialysis, Intubation And Feeding Tubes.<br />
<br />
A Broken Ankle (2 Places), From A Fall Never Set Correctly The First Time.<br />
<br />
A Fingertip, Gangrenous From Lack Of Blood Flow.<br />
<br />
Over 8 Months Away From Home, Bouncing From Physical Rehab Centers To Hospitals, With Barely 2 Weeks Home.<br />
<br />
And A Host Of Infections And Multiple Other Issues.<br />
<br />
And Yet....She Never Lost Sight Of Her Lord.<br />
<br />
And Now, She's Released From The Pain Of This World To The Glory Of The Next....<br />
<br />
I'll Tell More About Her Story In A Future Post. I Have To Quit For Now.<br />
<br />
I Can't See The Screen Anymore....<3'n Jesus Always,k.<br />

And Yet, Our Father Walks Us Through The Fire Daily...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<br />
Have To Take My Time With This Post.<br />
Unfortunately Posting This At After Midnight, E.S.T.<br />
I'm Exhausted. Just Realized I Forgot My Meds Yesterday and This Morning.<br />
<br />
"Crud."<br />
<br />
Too Much Drama Lately.<br />
<br />
"Sigh"<br />
<br />
Have Had A Lot Of Time Lately To Be Alone, Since My Love Has Been In And Out Of Hospitals And Rehab Centers For Over The Last 6 Months Now.<br />
And This Very Evening Lies, In A Strange Place, Strange Bed And Miles From Her Husband Of 31 Years Come February 28th.<br />
I Ponder, Think, Digest, Pray And War In Prayer For Her Lately.<br />
And For The Nations Of The World.<br />
And Yes, I've Seen Results.<br />
Prayer Works. All We Need To Do Is Believe.<br />
<br />
I've Had The Blessed Opportunity Lately, To Blurt Out A Few Basic Revelatory Truths Of The Kingdom Of God Lately To Someone We Took In Off The Streets, As Jesus Would Have Done.<br />
<br />
It's One Thing To Talk It.<br />
Another To Walk It.<br />
<br />
And Yet, Although My Life And My Familie's Has Seemingly Been Set Upon By Every Misfortune And 'Devil Out Of Hell', We Stand Strong.<br />
<br />
#WeWillNotBreak<br />
#WeWillNotGive<br />
#WeWillNotFall<br />
#OurGodReignsForever .....<3'n Jesus Always,k.<br />
<br />
P.S. I'm Sorry. I'm Tired. Have So Much To Share, But I'm Just Just Drained.<br />
I Promise I Will Try To Finish These Thoughts Off Tomorrow.<br />

I Just Want To Apologize Ahead Of Time. I'm A Bit Affected & Sorry For What I See, Read And Hear In My Spirit And Then Post About.<br />

The Lord Wants His People To Be Ready.<br />
He's About To Pour Out Unbelievable Miracles In Your Lives.<br />

Even Though You Think You're Weak....<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<br />
I Just Want To Encourage You Today, Because I've Learned A Few Things Since My Last Post.<br />
<br />
See, It Doesn't Matter How Old You Are In Years Or The 'Wisdom Of This World'. The Nature Of Jesus & The Father Never Changes.<br />
Our Problem, As A Human Race, Is We Vary With The Tide Of Acceptance And Opinion. Yet, The Father Is Immutable. His Justice AND Mercy Is Unchangeable.<br />
<br />
Oh, We Think At Times That He Is "Unjust, Unmerciful And Unforgiving", Depending On Our Current Circumstances. Yet He Sees And Weighs Every Thought And Action Of Our Hearts And Minds. There's Nothing That He Can't See Even In The Most Hidden Parts Of Our Thoughts And Feelings. We Have No Defense Before Him, As He Examines Our Lives, Actions And Most Importantly, Our Motives.<br />
We Would Be Branded 'Guilty As Charged', Except For His Mercy And Grace. An Issue In Itself Which Is As Overwhelming And Unfathomable To Our Minds, Understanding And Life Concepts As Counting Every Frain Of Sand On The Beach.<br />
<br />
I Just Want To Confess That I Don't Always Have An Unshaken Faith In Him. Yes, I Have Fears And Doubts When I Hear His Still, Small Voice Within My Heart And Mind. Yet So Many Times When I Have Asked For His Grace And Mercy Over A Desperate Situation, He Always Comes Through With A Miracle. In Spite Of My Diminished Faith At Times.<br />
When This Happens It Refreshes Our Faith In The One Who Has Already Overcome All Things. When Unbelief Takes Over, And The Evidence Of Our Circumstances Tries To Tell Us Our Faith Is Perhaps Useless, He Steps In.<br />
<br />
Sorry To Inform Those Who Claim To Be 'Atheists And Agnostics', But, God Is Not Dead.<br />
And Neither Is Jesus.<br />
The Father And Son, And Most Importantly, The Holy Spirit Will Continue To Woo Our Hearts Into His Loving Care Until We Take Our Last Breath.<br />
He Loves Us That Much.<br />
I've Watched Him Change Far Too Many Lives, And My Own Over The Years.<br />
<br />
I Can't Imagine Living In Many Other Countries Today.<br />
Persecution Is On The Rise For Anyone Proclaiming An Allegiance To Jesus Christ. They're Tearing Down Churches In China, North Korea, And Many Other Countries Around The World.<br />
They Routinely Torture And Kill Christians.<br />
Why?<br />
Just Because Of Speaking His Words Of Love And Demonstrating Their Faith Everyday.<br />
<br />
What A Strange Behavior!<br />
For Those Who Desire Love, Forgiveness And Joy, To Destroy The Very Messengers That Speak Of These Things. My Hope And Prayer Is That They Will Come To Understand The Intense Love He Has For Us.<br />
And If You're Reading This And Haven't Yet Asked Jesus To Come Into Your Life And Change Things For You,Then You Have Questions And Are Seeking Answers.<br />
I'm Trusting And Praying That You Will See His Truth And Love Across Your Lives.<br />
<br />
After All My 'Soap-Boxing', I Remember The Situations My Wife And I Found Ourselves In Last Week. Trials And Tribulations, "Sigh".<br />
<br />
She Just Got Out After 3 Weeks In A Rehab Center Where She Needed To Regain Her Ambulatory Abilities. And Boy, Was This A Trial For Her And The Other Elderly Sequestered There.<br />
<br />
One Time While She Was Talking To Me On The Phone, She Had Already Rung For The Nurse Or Aide To Help Her Get To The Bathroom. She Had To Wait In Her Wheelchair For 40-45 Minutes Because "They Were Clearing The Dinner Trays".<br />
<br />
And Then There Was The Matter Of Her Few Possessions. My Daughter Went To The Trouble Of Buying My Wife At Least 2 New Shirts And 3 Sets Of New Pants. After The FIRST Day They Were All Missing And After Almost A Week, Only 2 Of The Brand New Shirts Showed Up Because I Demanded They Find These Items.<br />
<br />
After 3 Weeks, She Ended Up Coming Home With Only 2 Sets Of Clothes Out Of The 6-7 Outfits We Brought Her. Oh, And The Last Week Of Her Stay, She Had To Wear The Same Clothes For 3 Days Because "Laundry Hadn't Been Done Yet. But Give Us A List And We Will Gladly Call You If We Find Them."<br />
<br />
Wow. When Did We Start Considering The Elderly And Wise Beyond Our Years, A 'Burden' To Be Tasked With? Have We Forgotten Or Were We Never Taught That The Elderly Have Experience And Deserve At LEAST Human Decency?<br />
<br />
Sad World We Live In. Yet, Who Will Change It? Only You And Me. With The Lord All Things Are Possible. But....We Have To Speak Up With The Authority We Have Been Given As Believers In Jesus Christ. If We Don't Speak, We're Never Heard.<br />
<br />
I Challenge You Today. If You Are A Believer In Jesus Christ And His Sacrifice, What You Hear Whispered In The Darkness, Shout In The Light. What You Hear In Your Closet, Shout It From The Rooftops.<br />
<br />
And Even Though Me And Mine Have Suffered Through Disasters, Misfortunes, Diseases And Accidents, He Has Always Delivered Us. He Is Good To Those Who Will Honor His Name And Faith In Him.<br />
In Matthew 5:43-46, Jesus Spoke In The Sermon On The Mount And Said "You Have Heard That It Was Said, ' Love Your Neighbor And Hate Your Enemy.' But I Tell You, Love Your Enemies And Pray For Those Who Persecute You, That You May Be Sons Of Your Father In Heaven. He Causes His Sun To Rise On The Evil And The Good, And Sends Rain On The Righteous And Unrighteous. If You Love Those Who Love You, What Reward Will You Get? Do Not Even Tax Collectors Do The Same? "<br />
<br />
He Speaks Every Language, Because We Are All Interconnected To Each Other. That's Why It's Called 'The Body Of Christ'.<br />
Won't You Take A Chance And Surrender To Him Today? None Of Us Are Perfect, Yet He Will Change Your Life For The Better Each And Every Day.<br />
<br />
Be Blessed, My Brothers And Sisters And Hold Fast Tightly To Your Faith. The Rewards Will Be Worth It All.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I Had A Dream Many Years Ago.......<br />
<br />
It Terrified me. Shook Me To My Very Bones And Core. And This Was Only The Second Very Intense Spiritual & Supernatural Experience I Had Ever Had.<br />
<br />
In The Dream I Saw Perhaps A Vision, Dream, Hallucination? I Know Not.<br />
<br />
But It Happened. And Scared Me Beyond Belief.<br />
<br />
The Scenario: I'd Been Praying In My Office For A Bit One Day.<br />
<br />
Of Course, A Lot Of Life's Stresses Had Been Wearing Me Down Lately. I Love My Wife. We've Been Married 30 Years Now.<br />
<br />
Seems So Long. So Many Trials And Tribulations. The Physical, Financial And Emotional Attacks On Our Health And Well Being Have Become An Everyday Experience In The Last Few Years.<br />
And Yet So Short Lately.<br />
<br />
In Matthew 24:22, Jesus Told His Disciples,<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #001320; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">"If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #001320; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
And Yet, He Will Sustain Us, Provide For Us And Protect Us.<br />
His Presence In Our Hearts Faith And Experiences, Will Drive Us On.<br />
<br />
And On A Different Note,<br />
My Wife Is Still In The Rehab/Elder Care Facility. Will Supposedly Need A Month Of Rehab And Physical Therapy. Not Too Happy With The Conditions And Care.<br />
Especially When They Are Billing Us $370 A Day.<br />
<br />
It Breaks My Heart To See My Wife And Soulmate In Pain And Having To Suffer Not Only The Pain Of Rehab, But To Suffer The Pain Of Disrespect As A Human. And Yet, The Lord God Makes No Mistakes In The Steps Of Our Lives. Those Who Have Surrendered, Now Have Freedom.<br />
<br />
Not The World's Freedom, Bound By Invisible Chains, Deceived By Greed And Vanity.<br />
A Freedom Beyond Our Imagined Boundaries..<br />
<br />
Sorry...I Got Off On A Tangent. My Humblest Apologies. I Just Flow With What My Heart And Fingers Hear.<br />
<br />
Getting Back To The Dream/Vision/OOBE, I Was Standing In The Middle Of A Great Plain And Mountains All Around. And I Realized I Was Standing In The Middle Of A Massive Company Of Soldiers And Every Imaginable Piece Of Military Hardware Currently Made.<br />
<br />
And Then My Attention Was Drawn Into The Distance A Great Mountain. And Upon This Mountain, I Saw A Throne. And The Figure Of A Man On The Throne.<br />
<br />
But The Thing That Struck Me Most, Was This Figure Had The Brilliance Of A 1000 Magnesium Torches. Incredible Colors And Blinding In His Radiance. And Then I Saw All These Armies Begin To Ready Themselves For Battle.<br />
<br />
And Then, The Figure On The Throne Opened His Mouth And An Even More Blinding Light Poured Forth And Totally Vaporized Everything Around Me.And Then The Dream Suddenly Ended.<br />
<br />
A Precursor To Our Future? Or A Warning To Change Our Ways?<br />
<br />
.....<3'n Jesus Always,k.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The Spirit Of Him Who Lives Forever Would Say This To You, My Ukraine. Hold Fast Now To Those Things, Precepts And Concepts I Have Planted Within Your Hearts.That They Might Spring Forth Into Good Works And Even GREATER Works In Their Due Season.<br />
<br />
Though You Hear Reports Of Even Greater Fears Than Ever, FEAR Not. For I Am The One Who Holds You In The Palm Of My Hand. Every Name. Every Experience. Every Situation. I Am There. I Will Strengthen You When Needed. I Will Give You My Wisdom That Will Confound The Reason Of Men. I Will Protect You. And In The End, At My Coming, I Will Receive You Into My Arms.<br />
<br />
I Will Be A Light Shining Through Your Darkness And Bring Hope To Others Lives. You Will Be Ambassadors For My Kingdom.<br />
<br />
Now Stand Up, Lift Your Hands And Shout My Name. Declare The Words Of My Love And Peace. But Mostly From The Redemption Of Guilt And Sins Committed. My Earth Today Is Covered With All Too Much Maliciousness. But I Have Spoken Of This To You Through My Word Already.<br />
<br />
Be My Light Now In The Darkness Of This World. Because...I Am With You Always.<br />
<br />
...<3'n Jesus Always,k.</div>

<br />
Well, It's Wednesday August 22. Today Is Supposed To Be D-Day For My Electric Service To Stay On Or Be Shut Off For An Unknown Length Of Time.<br />
<br />
And Yet, I'm Still Just Trying To Laugh It Off As Always.<br />
<br />
James 1:2-7 "Consider It Pure Joy, My Brothers And Sisters, When You Encounter Trials Of Many Kinds, Because You Know That The Testing Of Your Faith Develops Perseverance. Allow Perseverance To Finish It's Work, So That You May Be Mature And Complete, Not Lacking Anything. If Any Of You Lacks Wisdom, He Should Ask God, who Gives Generously To All Without Finding Fault, And It Will Be Given To Him. But He Must Ask In Faith, Without Doubting, Because He Who Doubts Is Like A Wave On The Sea, Blown And Tossed By The Wind. That Man Should Not Expect To Receive Anything From The Lord.".<br />
<br />
I've Tried To Learn The Lesson In This Verse. And Yes, I've Failed Many Times. But I've Overcome Also. I've Prayed And Wavered In My Faith. I've Pleaded And Cried At Times, Overcome With The Calamities In Life. Unbearable And At Times, Life Altering.<br />
<br />
And Yet, More Times Than I Could Ever Begin To Count, I've Been Strengthened To Ignore Every Trial, Every Disaster, Every Storm That Could Rise. To Ignore Even At Times, The Advice Or Counsel Of Well Meaning Friends And Family. Because I Was Standing Fast. And I Was Answered.<br />
<br />
My Most Relevant And Close-To-My-Heart Story Is That Of My Only Son.<br />
<br />
Born To A Mother Who Wasn't Supposed To Be Able To Bear Any More Children. Healthy & Strong As An Ox Yet Gentle As A Lamb. Blond Haired, Blue Eyed. Always Happy.<br />
Today, A 6 Foot Tall, 295 Pound Gentle Giant. But Then, At 22, After A Period Of Feeling Weak And Tired All The Time, We Got The Stunning News That He Had Stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphomatic Cancer. The Doctor Wasn't Really Quite Sure Of A Time Frame, Due To The Late Stage.<br />
<br />
I Came Home That Day Stunned, To Say The Least. I Walked Into Our Kitchen And Stood At the Counter, Hot Tears Beginning To Flow Down My Face.<br />
<br />
"Lord, Why?"<br />
<br />
At The Time, My Wife Was Also Already In The Hospital After Her Umpteenth Surgery To Recover From. Could Things Be Any Worse? And I Wasn't Even Able To Work Anymore To Boot?<br />
<br />
"Lord, Why? Have I Done Something Wrong?"<br />
<br />
And Then That Still, Small Voice Spoke, And Asked Me A Life Changing Question....<br />
<br />
"Would You Give Him Up For Me?"<br />
<br />
"I'm Sorry Lord. Come Again?"<br />
<br />
"Would You Give Him Up For Me?"<br />
<br />
"But Lord, You Promised Him To Me Years Before He Was Born!"<br />
<br />
"Yes, I Did. But Would You Give Him Up Now For Me?"<br />
<br />
(Heart Tearing In Half) "Lord, I Trust You. If That's Your Will, I Would."<br />
<br />
"That's All I Wanted To Know."<br />
<br />
And Then Silence. And A Profound Sense Of Relief.<br />
<br />
3 Months Later, He Was Clear And Free. To This Very Day.<br />
<br />
I Told You That To Tell You This: Never Give Up On The Tiniest Mustard Seed Of Faith You Place In Jesus. He Is An Overcoming And Consuming Fire To His Children He Holds Dear. He WILL Move Heaven And Earth For You.<br />
<br />
Today, I Have To Go Down To Social Services To Get Help With Our Electric So They Don't Shut Off My Wife's Oxygen Machine. And Hopefully Be Able To Get A Little Extra Help With Just Basic Monthly Expenses. At The Moment, She Needs 24 Hour Care. But That's Okay. I Love Her.<br />
<br />
But My Father In Heaven Is Good. I've Watched Now Time And Again When He's Come Through At The Last Minute With What Was Needed, Blessed By Friends Or Strangers. And In Turn, I've Thanked God So Much For His People And Asked Him To Bless Them Abundantly For Even the Little They Had To Give.<br />
<br />
And I Love To Bless People. It's A Rare Joy To See The Look Of Surprise Or Deep Appreciation With Tears Sometimes, On The Face Of Someone In Need That You Can Bless Out Of Nowhere. It's Actually A Lot Of Fun.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I Have To Go And Try To See If I Can Find All This Paperwork They Are Going To Need Downtown. But Hey, My Father's Able To Make Anything Happen.<br />
<br />
Have A Supernaturally Blessed Day, In Jesus Precious Name.<br />

<br />
I Run My Blog As A Labor Of Love And Without A Bunch Of Fancy, Blinking Ads For Revenue, Only Because....I Am Still Clueless As How To Set Them Up. LOL! I'm Not A Genius. Just Someone Who Loves Jesus And Appreciates Everything He's Brought Me Through.<br />
<br />
If You've Read Any Of My Blog Posts, You Know My Family's Situation. I Try To Encourage Others And Lift Them Up To Look Beyond These Daily Trials To Something Higher. And With A Higher Purpose In Mind. It's Difficult Sometimes, I Admit. As It Is For Many Of You Also.<br />
<br />
I'm Not One To Jump On "Go Fund Me" Or Some Other Site. Perhaps Out Of Pride. Which Is Obviously Not A Good Thing. But, I Think I Need To Learn A Little More Humility.<br />
<br />
In Matthew 7:7 Jesus Said, <span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> So, I'm Asking. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> Believe Me, I Don't Like To. I Like Giving To People More Than I Like Receiving. Call It 'Weird' Or Whatever. But Because Of Having To Give So Much Home Care To My Wife, And Now My Own Health Issues, It's Made It Difficult, If Almost Impossible To Work.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> This Is What I Do. I Write. I Scribe. Or Scribble. Whichever The Case May Be, LOL! I Attempt To Bring Hope & Joy To A World That Seems To Have Given Up On Hope. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> I'm Not Asking For A Hand Out, But A Hand Up.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> If You Can, Do. If You Can't, No Worries. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> But Either Way, I'm Still Praying For Every Person That Reads This Blog That They Will Be Blessed And Encouraged By It. And That Is My Heart For Jesus.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> Enough Explaining, I Guess. The Link Is Right Below.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">As It's Written In 3 John 1:2,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> "</span><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers."</span><br />

<br />
Just Putting This One Out There.<br />
<br />
It's Been A Beautiful But Very Hot Day Here Today, Along The Coast Of Lake Erie. I've Been Sitting And Just Listening To The Wind, Enjoying The Sunshine Throughout The Day. As Is My Habit, I Woke Up At About 6:30am To Spend Some Quiet Time With The Lord Before Starting The Day.<br />
My Wife Is Getting Better And Able To Walk A Little Bit Without Using The Walker. We Had A Scare Last Night When The Heat Index Suddenly Rose And We Had To Grab Her And Move Her Into The Bedroom Where The A.C. Was. She's Fine Now.<br />
As I Am Presently Writing This, It's 85 Degrees Out And Feels Like 92. Tomorrow, 91 And Lord Knows The Heat Index. And Then I Heard The Word, 'Nigeria'.<br />
<br />
"Nigeria. Land Of The Resilient. Land Of Greater Heat, Dryness And Famine.<br />
Yet Your Cries Have Been Heard In The Throne Room Of Heaven. You Have Lived In A Land Of Strife, Lack, Fear And Doubt For So Long Now.<br />
And Yet You Have Passed Through 'The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death', Because You Have Stood Fast. And You Have Cried Out. And You Have Been Heard. The Merciful Shall Receive Mercy.<br />
The Dry Places Will Become Oasis's. The Lord Has Seen You On Your Faces.<br />
But Stand Up Now And Shout To The Lord, For He Is Worthy Forever More"<br />
<br />
I Write In Trembling At Times. But You Can't Put Out A Hot, Roaring Fire With Just One Bad Rain. I And My Family Struggle Daily Nowadays To Just Be Blessed With One More Day. I've Watched So Many Fascinating Miracles Happen In People's Live Over The Last Several Months.<br />
About This, We Shall See. Just Really Impressed To Get This Out There To My Brothers In Nigeria That Read This Blog. Your Humble Servant<br />
....<3'n Jesus Always,k.</div>

<h2>
</h2>
<div>
<br />
<br />
Just Woke Up From A Strange Dream a Little Bit Ago.<br />
<br />
After Talking To Several People, Seems Many Of You Also Had A Few In The Recent Months: Vivid, Realistic And Yet Unbelievable. And I Am Still Trying To Figure Out Most Of It.<br />
<br />
I Was Somewhere At A House With Some Other People. It Was Night-time. It Looked Like Part Of A Family Farm, Or Perhaps A Commune. Somewhere Deep In The Woods And A Really Big Place.<br />
I Remember We Heard Something Outside And I Went To One Of The Very Large Windows, With One Part That Slid Up And Down To Open It. As I Approached It, I Looked Outside And I Saw A Huge Black Wolf.<br />
Suddenly, It Jumped At The Window And Knocked Out The Lower Sliding Part Trying To Get In. I Grabbed It And Put It Back In Quickly So That He Couldn't Get In.<br />
And As I Looked Out Into The Night At The Forest Surrounding, I Saw A Woman Who Was Wearing A White, Flowing Dress Carrying A Torch, Riding A Big, Dark Horse. She Was Leading A Huge Pack Of These Wolves Towards Some Town Below Made Up Of Wooden Houses And Buildings. The People Who Were With Me Asked If I Was Able To Get The Window Back In. I Said Barely. It Had Really Freaked Me Out.</div>
<div>
And Then Suddenly, I Was With This Person Who Looked Like A Man Of My Age, Dressed In Overalls. We Were In Some City. It May Have Been Houston, Texas. Only Because We Were At A Gas Station And I Saw A Few People Getting Gas, That I Recognized From Years Before.<br />
They Were Locksmiths I Had Worked With When I Was There. They Had Grown Older And Had Physically Changed Likewise. I Walked Up To One That Had Been A Very Good Friend And He Recognized Me. We Gave Each Other A Hug.<br />
Then Another Fellow Pulled Up Behind Him, Got Out, And I Slightly Recognized Him Too. He Was Also A Locksmith. He Walked Up To Talk To My Other Friend And Recognized Me. We All Chatted For A Minute Until The Fellow In The Overalls Walked Up And Said We Had To Go. My Friend Asked Me If I Could Stick Around, But I Said We Were On A Tight Schedule. I Remember I Had Some Sort Of Dark Blue IZOD Type Shirt. It Was Funny That I Said We Were On A Tight Schedule Because That's Not Something I Usually Say. I'm A Little Laid Back, LOL!</div>
<div>
We Got In 'Overall' Fellows Truck And Headed Out To His Farm/Commune. He Seemed Like A Very Nice Man And Had A Sense Of Authority About Him. Wise Beyond His Apparent Years. A Man Who Was A Leader For His Family And The People On The Farm. The Farm Was Really Big. It Would Take Awhile To Get From One Building To Another Walking. There Were Lots Of Children Who Were All Assigned Different Tasks. One Of The Children Showed Me A Huge Building With All Of Their Animals/Pets In It. Animals Of All Different Kinds & Breeds. I Remember That She Was Doing Some Of The Tasks Of Feeding Them And Told Me I Could Too If I Wanted To. </div>
<div>
The Odd Thing Was That None Of Them Were Frightened To Be With Me. I Remember A Small Bantam Chicken That Walked Up To Me And Let Me Pet It And Stroke It's Feathers. Then I Walked Into A Room With This Girl And There Were Animals On The Shelves And Everywhere. Even Species You Wouldn't Have Thought Would Ever Be Nice To Each Other Were Playing And Rolling Around With Each Other. They All Had Beautiful Soft Fur That You Could Pet Without Fear. All The While, The Girl Was Feeding The Animals. We Finished Up And The Next Thing I Knew, We Were At The Main House. Again, Children Everywhere. Each With A Particular Task To Do. </div>
<div>
Mr. Overalls Asked Me If I Could Go Put Up Some Chicken Wire In One Of The Buiidings Where The Animals Were. I Agreed And He Gave Me A Bag Of Screws And Odd Hardware And Told Me To Head Out To Some Other Building Where Supplies Were Stored. There Were Other Men Working Busily Away There. I Asked One Or Two Where The Chicken Wire Was. They Said I Might Have To Look Around. I Tried But Never Could Seem To Find Any. I Remember Thinking That I Didn't Know What I Was Doing And Tried To Leave And Get Back To Where My Home Was. </div>
<div>
I Ran Down A Hill And There Was a Highway There And I Saw The Entrance Off The Highway That I Thought I Needed To Get On. So I Figured I Could Just Run Or Jog There. I Saw An Embankment That Looked Like I Could Cut Across, But Once I Got Down In This Deep Ditch/Valley, I Ran Out Of Strength To Climb Back Up It Because It Was Steep And Muddy. Then What Looked Like Sprinklers Came On And I Started To Get Soaked. I Managed To Climb Out Through A Cut In It, But I Was Soaked And Had Mud All Over Me. I Decided I Would Go Back To The Farm/Commune And See If The Man In Overalls Could Give Me A Ride Back To Whereever Home Was. </div>
<div>
When I Asked Several Of The People Still Working If He Was Around, They Said He Was Busy Somewhere On Another Project. One Of Them Said That He Had Been Trying To Call Me On My Cell, But I Had Never Heard It. So I Went Back To The Same Main House Looking For Him. I Think He Had A Wife Or Partner, A Very Pretty Sweet Woman That Kind Of Looked Like Katey Sagal (If You Don't Know She Is, Obviously Google Her.)<br />
A Few People Told Me That He Might Be A Little Upset With Me Over Something I May Have Said To His Wife Or Partner. I Went Through The House Looking For Him And Passed By One Of The Doorways And Saw His Wife And One Of The Older Children Helping Him Out Of His Overalls In Some Sort Of Bathroom Where They Were Going To Get Him Cleaned Up. He Was Facing Away From Me As They Were Taking His Overalls Off And As They Stripped Him Down Naked, I Saw His Back And Arms Were Covered In Scars And Cuts From His Hard Work.<br />
I Could Tell He Was Tired And Worn Down From All He Had Been Doing, But Seemed Calm And Peaceful Allowing The Wife And Person To Take Care of Him And Get Him Cleaned Up. I Quickly Averted My Eyes And Walked Away From The Door. He Seemed Very Serene In All The Seeming Chaos Of Activity Around Him. A Quiet Sort Of Assurance That Each Person Was Trusted To Take Care Of Their Particular Task And His Work Was Done For The Day. Then It Seemed The Dream Ended. I Was Still Concerned With What I May Have Said To Offend His Wife/Partner. </div>
<div>
So, Anybody With A Gift Of Dream Interpretation Have Any Ideas? Would Appreciate Comments Or Thoughts On It. Until Next Time....<3'n Jesus Always,k.<br />

<br />
And After All...'Laughter Is The Best Medicine.' We Are All Human. We All Feel Pain. And We All Feel Joy. No Life Lives Without Joy & Laughter. Much Like A Flower Without Water. It Or Us Will Eventually Wither And Die.<br />
Do You Know Why Your Body Actually Laughs? It's Because The Mind Focuses So Intently On An Idea Or Thought, That The Respiratory System/Lungs, Forget To Breath And Go Into Convulsive Spasms Trying To Find Their Rhythm Again.The Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex Gets Activated And Releases Endorphins, That 'Feel Good' Chemical That Trips Our Switches From Sad To Glad.<br />
The Link Between Laughter And Our Little Blood Vessels Has Been Proven In 2005 By The Wonderful Scientists At University Of Maryland Medical Center. They Found That The Exercise Of Laughter Caused The Inner Lining Of Your Blood Vessels, Called The Endothelium, To Dilate And Increase The Rate Of Blood Flow. It Reduces Cortisol And Epinephrine In The Metabolic System.<br />
These Are Those Cute Little Chemicals That Cause Us So Much Stress Each Day And Force Us To Play Video Games. Or Overeat Our Daily Allotment Of Sugary Doughnut Delights And Confectionaries, Ala 'Tim's Bits', Or That Half Gallon Of Double Fudge Brownie Ice Cream, That Plaintively Cries Out Our Names Behind The Frozen Wasteland Of Our Double Door Samsung. We Crave That Release. But, I Digress...(Always Wanted To Use That Word!)<br />
Laughter is A Gift Given By The Father. It Deflects Anger, Softens Our Visage And Makes Hard Times Easier. Many Memories I Have Were Not Pleasant. A Lot Of Them At The Time Were Very Painful. But Over The Years After Finding Humor Somehow Through The Situations, The Scars Eventually Heal. Emotionally, Mentally And Physically. Through Finding a Reason To Laugh Over The Years No Matter The Trials, Is How I've Survived.<br />
Years ago, I Was A Professional Clown. It Was How I Dealt With My Own Pain and Sadness. By Making Others Laugh. Breaking The Social Norms Of The Day, By The License Of a Greasepaint Mask and A Pratfall Or 2, Pointing The Finger At My/Our Human Foibles And Faults. Making Others Laugh With Me Instead Of At Me. It Was On My Terms That Others Would Laugh At My Expense Then. Yet My Laughter At The Time Was Hollow, With No True Source Of Joy To Come From. And Then I Met a Man Named Jesus.<br />
He Showed Me That The Pain And Ache Of This Life Would Eventually Pass As Things Do, And In The Scope Of Eternity, It Was Only The Blink Of An Eye. He Showed Me That By Looking Ahead And Laughing Off The Situations That Happened To Me, No Matter How Bad, Would Ease The Temporary Pain And Discomfort Of This Life And Would Strengthen And Restore Life To Me.<br />
In The Book Of James In The Bible, Whichever Version You Prefer, It Says In The First Chapter, Verse 2-4, To "Count It All Joy, My Brothers, When You Meet Trials Of Various Kinds, For You Know The Testing Of Your Faith Produces Steadfastness. And Let Steadfastness Finish It's Perfect Work, So That You Might Be Mature And Complete, Not Lacking Anything."<br />
I Think By Joy, He Meant Laughing Through The Trials. Why? Because They Just Make Us Stronger And Wiser. And If They Come Again, You Can Laugh That Much Harder In Victory Because You Weren't Defeated The First Time And Only Became Stronger. The Problem Shrinks To Being Nothing. If You Don't, The Problem Looms Over You, Threatening To End Your Life Everyday.<br />
To Quote Dr. Madan Kataria, "I Have Not Seen Anyone Dying Of Laughter, But I Know Millions Who Are Dying Because They Are Not Laughing."<br />
Jesus Showed Me How To Laugh Once Again And Live. And Everyday He Shows Me Something New They I Haven't Seen Or Realized. He's Good Like That. and Whenever I Have Those Days Where I Don't Think He Sees Or Hears Me, Some Little Miracle Will Show Up To Show Me That He Still Sees Everything. See, He Knows A Lot More Than We Could Ever Possibly Imagine, Because He's Been Through That Pain Himself. And He Persevered And Went Through It For The Joy He Knew Would Come Out Of It. Just Like A Mother Going Through Labor Pains Before Finally Giving Birth To Her Bundle Of WHAT?.... Joy.<br />
So, You See, That's Why My Blog Is Named The Laughs On Us. Because We Only See A Portion Of What's Here and What He Has For Us. That's Why The Laughs On Us......<br />
Give Your Heart To Him Today And Let Him Change Your Life Into Joy.<br />
......<3'n Jesus Always,k.<br />
<br />
P.S. It's 4/20.<br />

<br />
At Least I Can Still Write.<br />
<br />
I've Been Put On Siemet (Cardidopa/Levodopa) For Early Onset Of Parkinson's Disease.<br />
My Tremors And Memory Loss Have Been A Little Better. I Can Remember Appointments, Small Details. But I Still Have Trouble Remembering Things Sometimes From 5 Minutes Before To Yesterday, Last Week, Or Even Several Years Ago.<br />
<br />
And It's A Little Frustrating At Times When I'm Typing Or Writing Because Of The Tremors. Especially When I'm Using A Touch-Sensitive Laptop. You've No Idea How Many Times I Have To<br />
Rewrite Or Delete Things Because Of Tapping The Pad Or Keys Too Many Times, But I Make Light Of The Situation By Joking About The Symptoms.<br />
<br />
"With The Tremors Now, I Don't Need A Blender. I Make Milkshakes Better By Hand."<br />
<br />
"I May Get Confused, But I'm Not Confounded. Just Ask My Wife. What's Her Name Again?"<br />
<br />
"I've Gotten Used To Moving Slower. Doesn't Win Me Friends At Stop Signs Or Green Lights Though."<br />
<br />
You Get The General Idea Though.<br />
<br />
Because Of The Fast Pace Of Our Society Today, It Gets A Little Annoying That I Have To Slow Down. Especially Since I Enjoy Taking Care Of Others. Not Just My Wife Who Is Disabled, With Both Mental And Physical Disabilities. But Just Ordinary Neighbors And Strangers That I've Had The Blessed Opportunity To Help And Minister To Occasionally. Just Planting A Seed Of Love.<br />
<br />
Many Of Those 'Seeds' Planted Years Ago Are Now Coming To Fruition Before Me. The Father Is Always Faithful To His Word.<br />
<br />
The World, Events And News Today Around Us Sow Enough 'Bad Seed' Into The Fertile Ground Of Our Souls, Hoping For The Destruction Of Our Hope And Faith.<br />
<br />
Those That Believe In Jesus Christ Hold Tightly To A Vision And Belief Of The One Thing That Never Changes, Condemns Or Sets Conditions Of Works For Our Salvation. Good Works Come From A Heart Changed By His Love, Compassion And Mercy. He Loves Us For Who We Are, And Who We Can Truly Be Just By Trusting In Him. No Matter What Our Current Condition May Be. And This Comes From Someone That Doubted In His Grace And Acceptance For Years.<br />
<br />
Did You Know That The Word "Grace" Means "Unmerited Favor"?<br />
That Means It Doesn't Cost You Anything, Except To Just Believe. Have You Ever Experienced Those Funny "Supernatural, Divine, Awakening, Or Just Coincidental Moments You've Had Throughout Your Life? We Just Brush Them Off As Being 'Weird, Zen, Karma' Moments.<br />
<br />
Yet, Those Are The Times The Lord Is Trying To Make A Connection With Us. And Though Parts Of My Memory Are Going Lately, I Still Remember Happier, Simpler Times and Personally Enriching Days That I've Witnessed His Grace In Action.<br />
<br />
The Day My Step-Daughter Got Married And I Walked Her Down The Aisle.<br />
<br />
The Day My One And Only Son Was Born, After My Wife Was Told She Wouldn't Be Able To Conceive Ever Again. 7 Years After The Spirit Of God Told Me I Would Have A Son, And To Name Him Samuel, After My Grandfather, A Godly, Devout Man.<br />
<br />
The Day I Heard The Spirit Of God Tell Me My 23 Year Old, Only Son Would Be Healed Of Stage 4 Cancer, Right After We Had Gotten His Diagnosis. He Was Cancer-Free 3 Months Later. He's Now 28. And Still Cancer-Free.<br />
<br />
The Day, One Of My Homeless & Dysfunctional "Adopted" Sons, Fulfilled A Vision From Years Before, Of Showing Up On My Doorstep In His Dress Blues After Completing Boot Camp As A United States Marine.<br />
<br />
And Remembering The Days Of Being Allowed To Run Off Into The Woods By Ourselves, As Long As We Were Back Before Nightfall. We Knew To Call From A Friend's House If We Were Going To Be Late, Because We Didn't Have Texts, E-Mails Or Instagram.<br />
<br />
We Were Polite To Each Other On The Street. Now It's More About Posting Selfies Or Playing The Latest Version Of Candy Crush Saga. "Whoo-Hoo! I Beat Level 985! Now My Life's Complete!"<br />
<br />
Because Of My Ignorance, Lack Of Wisdom, Or Just Downright Stupidity About Life, I Found Myself Many Times In Life Or Death Situations. Too Many Times To Even Keep Track Of Anymore.<br />
Yet, I'm Still Breathing. Because Of His Grace.<br />
And Because My Praying Grandmother Knew He Would Take Care Of Me Because Of His Grace, Because She Simply Asked And Believed.<br />
She Knew The Difficult Upbringing My Sister And I Had.<br />
<br />
We Used To Get Locked Out Of The House At Times.<br />
<br />
A Scary Feeling Being Alone In The World With No One Answering The Doorbell.<br />
Surprised We Never Got Picked Up By C.P.S. Or Some Creep In A Van.<br />
<br />
Got To Pee? Better Find A Private Place Behind Someone's Fence Or A Culvert Hidden From Passing Traffic. Or Just Try To Hold It.<br />
Hungry? Deal With It. Raid the Camper For C-Rations Or Eat Cactus Fruit When In Season. As Long As We Could Keep Most Of The Spines Off Our Tongues...'OOO-Rah' For Survival Skills!<br />
Or Perhaps Go Over To Your Friends House When Their Mom's Serving 'Snacks' After School. Just Look Poor And Plaintive. Works Every Time. Might Be A Peanut Butter-Jelly Sandwich, But, Hey, It's Food.<br />
And Yet, I Was Watched Over And Provided For. Because My Grandmother Believed In His Everlasting Grace And Her Everlasting Faith.<br />
<br />
It Seems If We Want Acceptance Today, We Have To Pay For It.<br />
<br />
Buy Followers On Twitter To Boost Your Self-Esteem.<br />
<br />
Look To Your Boss For A Pat On The Back And An "Atta Boy". The Same Boss Who Knows Your Production Record Versus How Much It Costs Them In Man Hours, And Yet Can't Remember Your Name.<br />
<br />
Get The Latest #TrendingOMG Beauty Treatments, Injections Or Plastic Surgery Upgrades, So That People Will Want To Be Your Friend, Seen With You And Follow You.<br />
<br />
All Bring Acceptance In Fleeting Form In A World Of Madness And Misplaced Value$. Just As Long As You Can Pay It Back, With Ever Spiraling Interest.<br />
<br />
So Go The Days Of Following The Second Commandment.<br />
<br />
Apathy Runs Rampant. Anxiety & Depression Has Overtaken The Nations. And Yet, The Spirit Of The Almighty Will Raise His People From The Dead Suddenly, As A Seed Breaking Through The Ground.<br />
Those Thought Forgotten. Take Heed. I'm Not Saying This Lightly. Those Who Understand The Times Will Under Understand..<br />
<br />
If You Know Jesus, Then Realize Who You Are In Christ. If You Don't, And You're Tired Of The Way Life Has Been Going, Call Out To Him Today.Take A Few Minutes, Go Back And Read The Gospels Today On Easter For A Minute. If You Can Take Time To Read Facebook And Instagram Notifications, You Can Read This For 5 Minutes.<br />
Realize What Price Jesus Laid Down For You. Not For A 'Partner Pin, Sponsorship, Cd's Or Books.' You've Been Deceived.<br />
Jesus Is Not A Heavenly 'Vending Machine' For Your Needs At The Moment. He Thinks In 1000's Of Years. Not In Our Few Minutes Of 'Self Promoting Pious Sacrifice', Working Our Way To Heaven. That's Old Testament For A Reason. But He Will Be There When You Need Him And Call Out For Help.<br />
Old Testament. New Testament. A Testament Is A Person's Will And The Distribution Of Personal Property. A Will Can Be Changed And Amended. Just Like The Bible. It's Right In Front Of Our Eye's.<br />
An Unusual Day, It's Not Only April Fool's, But An Easter Sunday. And Oh, By The Way, We're Having Our 2nd Blue Moon This Month. And To Top It Off, It's Still A Crap Shoot Where The T'i'an Gong' (Heavenly Palace) Satellite And Space Station May Perhaps Finally Dig A Hole Somewhere On This Planet And Shake People Out Of Their Complacency.<br />
Strange Days Indeed, My Friends. Strange Days Indeed. Stay Tuned.. More To Come......<3'n Jesus Always,k.</div>

<br />
Brazil, And All Of The Other Countries of South America That Toil In Despair. And Abandoned Hope. You Shall Rejoice Once Again....An Awakening Comes. A Burning Fire Of The Heart That Comes Forth From A Source. A Source. That Will Not Be Found In Your Governments. It Will Be Found In The Hearts Of Your People. Your Hearts Of Fire, Lit By His Love, Will Guide Your Actions. That Source Will Not Be Fulfilled By The Pleasures You Enjoy In Life Or The Rule Over Your Lives And The Freedoms Over You. You Shall Break Free To A Higher Dimension Of Praise, Glory And His Overwhelming Love.<br />
It's Ultimate Goal Lies In The Hands Of The One By Whom Your Very Breath Originates From. You Are His....And He IS Yours. Call Out In The Middle Of The Societal Collapse You See Around You. He Is Greater Than Your Current Problems. He Is Greater Than Your Base Fears. He Is Richer Than Your Poverty. He Will Reveal Riches, As Yet Unknown , To Those Whom He Loves. Those That Have Decided To Lay Down Barriers Of Self-Deception & Guilt, To The Ability Of Believing In The One Who Can Fulfill Even The Wildest Dreams.<br />
He Loves You. Yes, He Honestly Loves You. Never Requiring Anything More Than Our Simple Trust And Faith, Failures And All. Like A Parent Loves Even A Misbehaving Child. How Much More Should The Lord Of All Creation, Love Those He Has So Finely Crafted? Each One With Gifts That Entertain, Educate, Inform And Give Wisdom Into The Daily Drudge Many Of Us Call Our Lives Today.<br />
You Shall Arise From The Ashes Of Your Broken Lives With An Eternal Fire Burning Within You. Your Names Will Be Spoken Of Across The Earth, Only Because Of The Devotion To Jesus That You Have Carried.<br />
I'm No Prophet. Too Presumptuous Of My Own Thoughts To Think So. And Yet, Over The I've Experienced And Seen Things, Ideas And Inventions Beyond Our Current Understanding And Your Humble Author. Perhaps I'm Just 'Mad'. Been Diagnosed With 'Bi-Polar Before.Yet I've Seen Things As Real As Your Favorite Pet Next To You, Nuzzling Your Leg.<br />
A 30 Foot Tall Warrior Angel, Clothed In Golden Armor Head To Foot. Standing At Attention, A Golden Sword Of Flame Planted In Front Of Him. Don't Think,, I'm Insane,But Who Knows...LOL! Yet Gave Me One Of The Most Overwhelmingly Comforting Feelings I've Ever Had In My Life. I Had Only Stepped Out , 1 Or 2 A.M., smoking A Cigarette And Just Looking At The Stars And Constellations. Then I Heard The Voice...."Look At The End Of Your Driveway." Other Than The Otherworldly Pat On My Shoulder I Got One Night After Falling Asleep Watching Some Biblical Teaching. But, Another Story For Another Time.<br />
At The End Of My Driveway, Smoking A Cigarette At The Back Of My House, 'Something' Made Me Look At The End Of My Driveway. There Before Me Stood The Being I Originally Described. Then, I Knew He HAS Truly Stood Over And Carried Me.<br />
You Know What? I'm Tired, Brothers & Sisters. I'll Finish This Story Tomorrow. Hopefully Before 9 P.M., E.S.T. I'm Sorry, Just Out Of Energy Guys....<3'n Jesus Always,k.<br />

<br />
I Have Been Very Introspective And 'Hermit-ting' Lately. Been Through A Lot Of Trauma And Trials This Year. Well, Actually The Last 7 Years. But, Ahhh, Who's Counting Anymore? No Job To Even Cover Any Bills, Or Attendance To Church Because Of The Care My Wife Needs. Not Much Social Contact Either Other Than A Few Chance Meetings On The Street.Which Now, In Retrospect, I See To Be Divine Appointments. Oh, And Still Having To Deal Each Day With My Parkinson's. Yet Even In The Midst Of The Devastation & Depression Of My Life, Daily I've Found Jesus Christ To Be Faithful To Use Me To Lift Up Others And Meet Our NEEDS (Not Always WANTS).<br />
I Pray Throughout The Day Now As Much I'm Allowed A Minute Of Peace & Silence.The Needs Of My Disabled Wife & Taking Care Of The Daily Business Of Running A House Eat Up A Lot Of My Time. And Fulfilling As Many Other Things As I Can Fit In.<br />
I've Listened To Too Many Voices Of Fear And Doubt Early In My Life. Voices Of Authority That Instilled Paralysis & Insecurity. Voices That Stripped Me To Be Confident Of Anything I Did Or Attempted. Voices That Mocked. Full Of Hateful And Derogatory Words, Perhaps Followed Up By A One Sided Beating Perhaps Every Day.<br />
But Then, I Heard Another Voice.<br />
A Voice That Accepted Me For Who I Was And All The Flaws That Came With Me.<br />
A Voice That Did Not Criticize, Confuse Or Condemn Me. A Voice That Wanted Nothing More Than The Best For My Life. A Voice To Comfort Me.<br />
And I Began To Give My Full Attention To This Voice. Jesus Has Guided Me For 42 Years Now. Not Counting The 16 Destructive, Degenerate Ignoramus Years Before That. Well,Perhaps Just A Few Years After That.<br />
I Humble Myself Before You. Because My Life Hasn't Always Been Pure & Roses. Yet Throughout It All, Over The Years His Voice Has Drawn Me Closer And Closer Through Every Trial, Tribulation & Tragedy. I've Come To See Myself As Blessed Now.<br />
Oh, I'm Not Rich Or Anything. Don't Own Any Land, Stocks, Bonds Or Even A 401k To Use As Reserve. In Fact, To Be Honest, We Live On Maybe A Little Over $6k A Year. Yet The Father Has Always Seen Fit To Always Make Up The Differences Or Give Us Unbelievable Grace. And Even A Little Bit More To Share With Others In Need. Just Trying To Follow Jesus's Words. We Have Little, Yet I Hope I've Gained A Treasure Trove Of Wisdom, Love And Compassion Over The Years.<br />
Although I've Had To Put Away My Energetic & Gregarious Days Until It Grows A Little Warmer And Dryer. I Continue To Improve My Health Day By Day Back To 110%, Using The Wisdom I Was Taught.. I Miss Having The More Intense Spiritual Encounters With Others, And How The Holy Spirit Would Always Guide The Conversation And Whatever Evidence Needed For The Moment To Prove His Reality And Love. I've Seen Him Heal People On The Street. I've Seen Him Call Out Specific Information To People That Only He Could Know. And Then The Tears Began Flowing.<br />
I'm Sure Many Of You Enjoy Gardening. It's A Wonderful Thing To Spend Time Watching A Seed Grow. From Germination In The Bright Sunlight, To Growth Into A Plant That Is Strong, Healthy And Serves Others With It's Goodness.<br />
Our Spiritual Life Is The Same Way. A Seed Of Faith Is Planted Within Our Hearts To Believe That We Will Grow Up Strong And Healthy, Able To Benefit Others. A Life Free Of Worries And Earthly Cares.<br />
Much Like The Seed That Doesn't Concern Itself With Where It's Water Source Or Nourishment Comes. It Knows It Will Come And Cause Growth In It's Own Time And As Needed. This Causes Even Greater Growth. A Sudden Acceleration Of Unbelievable Growth.The Rest Of That Time, It Stays Silent And Perhaps Reflects On What It Will Become One Day. And It Patiently Waits, Until The Day It Springs Forth Into The Brightness And Shows It's Glory In The Light Of The Sun. Always Growing Upwards And Stretching Towards The Sun.<br />
I've Stretched Out My Faith In The Little Seed That Was Planted In My Heart Years Ago. And I Have Seen It Be Fruitful And Multiply. Maybe Not In The Way The World Would Think, But This Is My Life. It's My Walk. And I'm Going To Keep Walking With My Angels And My Hand In My Master's Until I Draw My Last Breath. And Then, The Journey Shall Truly Begin.<br />
Look Up. And Keep Looking Up. Let The Seed Of Faith Jesus Christ Planted In Your Heart Grow Into That Beautiful Flower Or Plant That Shares It's Goodness With No Regrets.<br />
<br />
......<3'n Jesus Always,k.<br />

<br />
We Say Many Times That We Are Thankful, But Are We Just Repeating A Mindless Phrase, Or Are We Expressing The Depth Of Our Hearts And Experiences? I Look Back Over My Life To Every Injury, Illness Or Catastrophe Throughout My Life.<br />
And You Know What? I'm Still Alive. I Am Thankful That I Have Survived These Things. If Not For The Father's Grace, I Would Be Either A Mangled Wreck Or Deceased. He Has Taken MY Hand And Led Me Through These Storms Of Life. Many Of You Out There Have The Same Testimonies.<br />
Others Have Yet To Experience The Awesome Comfort Of His Presence, His Overwhelming Forgiveness For My Failures And His Overwhelming Provision. A Father Who Has Not Forgotten His Children. Lift Your Heads And Be Thankful Today That You Still Breathe And Think With An Unlimited Mind Given By The Creator. Be Thankful Today For Every Blessing You Have.<br />
...<3'n Jesus Always,k.</div>
