God’s secret Gift!

Dogs, Cats, Signs, Symbols, Hope Hidden in Truth!

Last trip to prison, a lifer was able to attend the session! This man long ago poured himself into taking care of animals, primarily service dogs and then got involved with cats!
The prison is a different place especially for someone whose plans include one’s final days! A very serious reality not many encounter!
So what did he do? Well he poured himself into being the most dedicated care taker he could! The authorities in the prison noticed! Now these leaders insist he take care of the pets they bring to prison! One is a small blind dog! Yes he brings his various visiting pets to my weekly prayer service.
I must confess, it is obvious to me this lifer has convinced many leaders he is trustworthy with even vulnerable pets!
So today he tells me his next project is to write a children’s book to communicate the message of God’s design found in the pet animals he has invested himself in over many years!
For me his story of one who was angry and lost who has been paying the price of reacting in anger! No it’s more than that! His journey of encountering the suffering for his own admitted sin is “HOPE” somehow through the gift of giving himself away – in total – to care for God’s creation he found the treasure that was buried in himself!
Yes to use what has long ago been locked away where few one can it – the possibility exists the treasure of “HOPE” he found can be passed on to children through an openness to animals so very few ever encounter!
You know I am one Blessed man who gets to encounter the Truth hidden in the cross of suffering to many!

Standing in the Gap: Am I alone?

Standing in the gap is a lonely place & experience!
Not many venture where I have gone or where I go! Walking willingly into the reality of man’s “Free Will” choices! An encounter associated with the beauty in the garden in the midst of the fiercest great temptation to replace God’s design with selfie self (original sin)!
For 35 years now I have been wandering around in the garden where man’s confronts the great deceiver at his best!
Will you love me with the Truth?
This is the question asked not in known articulate words but in through the real presence of non-verbal walking/ talking behavior in the wilderness of a desert where the search results when one asks!
Do you Love me enough to tell me the truth as one looks in the mirror of death!
Who?  Will you speak up and answer?
Sure Seems I walk alone! Fact no one travels with me!  Seems many lack the courage to actually do something!  Time to look in their own mirror?
My prayer:
#1. What do you have in mind for me today Lord?
#2.  Help me do your will! I can dream! Perhaps One day perhaps someone will actually walk along with me?
#3.  I can’t tell how much I look forward one day to meeting that someone?  Yes!  Waiting! 

The Gift of Life in the midst of a Spiritual War Against God’s Design

New Hope for little girls and boys is in the air!
Future women and men created without error with a real chance to discover the gifts and talents they were created with before they were born!
I pray they one day can become all they were created to be!
Let the little children come to me!! Who said that?
Thank you Lord for the gift of new life!
Yes, Yes some of them may well be my great grand children! Pure gift in the eyes of this old man!

Steps Made of Rock

One of the things that impressed me most was how Deacon Alfred Mitchell’s (Jose) wife was treated at his vigil and funeral!!!

Honor a word missing in the Secular World:

Honor is a word not always fulfilled! All of the good Alfred accomplished was time his wife graciously supported his calling!

My Rock: Lynn

As a married Deacon my spirit can’t do much without the support of my wife!!
Thank you Lynn, my unseen partner, as I travel to places were so very few people ever venture! Unselfish love are the stable steps my feet walk upon! Unseen yet made of “Rock”!

Flipity Flopity – Flip / Flop: The Death of the American Dream & Truth:

Government of the People, by the People and for the People:

Who — Must mean the WOK:

Kamala Flip Flop has flipped!!!!

Not on the New National Religion:

She and Tim have not flipped on the new National Religion tough – anyone notice?? Gender / LBGTQIA+++!

Fantasy – Oh Yea Fantasy:

Truth is no longer TruthFantasy is their Law / Religion of the land!
Federal Government —> Sign up and use any description you choose – the pronoun thingy is now open to the great deceivers dreaming!
Well folks – is this the land of Truth or are our founding American Principles and Values now been totally shredded to satisfy those who support Kamala and Tim ?

And what about FB Zuck!!!

Well Zuk – who are you? You have been measured! Just who are you?

From Ancient Times:

As for me and my house we will continue to worship the one True God!
This weeks Gospel! Nothing from the outside can defile – only that which comes from within! Yep the Devil is a very Great Deceiver!
Oh by the way the “Apple” dates back to the original sin! Anyone paying attention?
New technology (Smart Phones) is being handed to the very young and vulnerable by mom and dad! Anyone paying attention??

The Spiritual War has Accelerated:

Yes we are in a Spiritual War against God’s design “In the beginning”. Right here & right now in the USA! “The One Flesh”!
Just what form of Law do we follow? Man’s or God’s? Where is it I might find God’s Laws? In Church’s that follow the one and only true God!
How about the ones that make up their own human / selfie Laws!

Little Kids – I didn’t Stutter:

Little kids are paying far closer attention to what mom and dad worship than most realize!!
Even inmates in prison have eyes that can see!
It’s be —> Awake not WOK!! Folks! Lord have Mercy! Save us from selfie!!!!

The To Be Continued – Jesus in the Boat Asleep:

Well where did I leave off? Oh yea my dad’s reaction in the middle of the night in the middle of the Storm / Squall! Oh my Today’s Gospel! Jesus sleeping in the boat in the middle of a Squall while his brothers were filled with anxiety!! Yea you and me – we humans! A test of faith and trust!! Do you trust me to finish?
My dad said – “Son it’s just the lightning”!  Go and get back in bed!
Magic words – my father had spoken! Promptly, I walked back into my room, got back in bed, covered myself with my blankets and immediately went fast asleep as the Squall, lightning, thunder and the blaring sirens continued unabated! Holy Smokes! Pay attention the Father speaks and everything – yes everything has a purpose! God wanted me to never forget that night!
Why I ask? Yes Lord – for you today! We are living in just such a Squall only it is a man made storm on purpose! The Great deceiver is working at deceiving humanity! Yes he is! I was born for this day and so were you!
Every time Jesus met his disciples his first words were “do not be afraid” and “peace be with you”! Yea he knew our humanity – he was there the day humanity male and female were created! He knows us inside and out!! We can not hide from Him!
And yes, yes, he loves us exactly where we are – yes even in the middle of the storm when we are caught red handed helping the great deceiver lead us down a fantasy trail into the bolt of lightning and fire!
Teach your children the Truth – you can be the best news your children and grand children and even great grand children can ever encounter!
So Friday the Good Lord sent me a 40+ year old inmate who was adopted as a baby yet
drugs took him on a journey where the Good Lord gave him to me as a gift and treasure!
I encourage each of you to become that treasure yourself where. Fear is replaced with peace! Yea an encounter with Jesus in the boat sleeping in the midst of a squall!
You know I gave this reflection to inmates in a State Prison.  English and Spanish.  One Spanish inmate did not speak English and so it was with Faith and Trust I asked the other Hispanic inmates to relay the story!

Grandson Graduation – Holy Smokes Surprise:

The Ancient Spirit always present – manifested a Surprise:

My wife and I drove to my grandson’s graduation from College event at his school.  Got there early for the event to meet up with his parents and sisters.  It was held in the building facility where basketball game were hosted and adequate seating was available.  I suspect the school turned the air conditioning down in anticipation of a large crowd.  Sure enough for this old man it was cold.  The blood thinner I am taking surely was not a helpful factor regarding my ability to stay warm.  After finding our seats we sat down.  Wasn’t long this old man had to get up and walk around to stay warm before the event began.  Up and at it – walking – er- pacing the balcony above the basketball floor I went.

Amen – Finally here they come:

Finally the procession of professors, teachers, staff and students of all ages began.  I stopped new one of the cameras used to display the unfolding event of two big screens so all could see better.  Yep, as I watched my grandson processed in with his classmates.  About time and I was still a cold old man!  I decided to stay put higher up where the air should be warmer than down on the floor of the building.

I stood at the rail overlooking the event standing next to the camera man and to my left was another younger gentleman with a mustache standing at the same rail.  I imagined he had a child graduating with this 2024 class.  After all faculty, staff and students were seated, which took a long while, I finally asked?  Do you have a student who is graduating?  Yes I do was the answer.  His name Caden.  And you sir, who are you here for?  I said my grandson is graduating today!

You gotta be kidding me – someone pinch me!

His response to me was immediate:  Garrett is my son’s roommate!  No way!  Just on our way in to the event we ran into a lady whose name was Kim and she was just a kid back in 1983 when we moved into our new home in Fayetteville, Georgia.  I was told Kim was the mother of my grandson’s roommate.  There she was down below sitting in an isle seat.  The roommates mom and dad I meet minutes apart and she was my neighbors kid in 1983 –  Yea 41 years ago.  Holy Smokes!   

Story continues to unfold:

I am not done!  Next this man named Mike told me he played baseball in high school and when he cam to pick up his girl friend he saw a batting cage in my back yard!  My mind rushed back to the August 3rd ATC strike of 1981Six day weeks and 10 hour days made it impossible for me to coach or help coach their youth baseball teams.  In-order to do something positive to help them I purchased a batting cage and pitching machine to take advantage of my limited time I had to help them with their chosen sport.  Who I ask would take notice and remember all these years later a batting cage?

There is this Spirit that ties us all together if only:

How is it I ask?  Just how is it that the journey of life 41 years later would one day bring together people separated in time.  There son and my grandson roommates for four years!   Parents and grandparents untied in the same celebration at the same time and place!  The Holy Spirit had to set this whole thing up!

 

 

The Roman Empire Self Destructs: Hmmm America Today

We are witnessing the war and destruction of American Values and Principles everyday in so called elite universities and colleges!

Fools logic!  Make no mistake no human being can change gender the specific great deceiver war against the Christian Truth proclaimed by Jesus Christ Himself! Procreation and the One Flesh design as “In the Beginning” is the prime target of the current political Marxist movement in our nation!

What? Decolonization?  What is that?  Decolonization is supported by the current Democratic Party leadership!  Can we connect the Dots?

Abort babies by every means possible under any circumstance clearly articulates every means possible without consideration of reality or God’s design. LBGTQ is in lock step with this war! Those who celebrate the LBGTQ movement and gender choice agenda are guilty of supporting the Great Deceivers War against God’s design for humanity!

The Border – the Border:

The open border decision allows the mass transfer drugs purposely targeting young American children and young adults! Are we asleep?  Yes decolonization is politically supported by the Political establishment!

We stand as witness’s to our own self destructive nature = Sin! Check around and you will find even people who refer to themselves as devout Catholic’s celebrating the great deceivers War against life itself!

By any means possible includes the Great Deceivers agenda – embrace sin – decolonization and replacement of people using every method including science, doctors who remove healthy organs to satisfy the Devils War!  All the while proclaiming man has replaced God’s design with selfie self focused purely on emotions and feelings!

Our Nation and many of our top leaders have aligned themselves with the Devil’s agenda! Yes folks this is an intense War humanity has not encountered in previous generations!

The next battlefield and new weapon is upon us!  Artificial Intelligence a non living entity:  AI will reside within a non living technical invention humans will begin to worship and will not be able to live without!  The Smart Phone has arrivedThe arrival of  modern man’s newest God and is now establishing it’s worship among foolish vulnerable young while simultaneous the long war against the One Flesh design is reaching record epidemic levels of destruction to protect God’s design to safe guard the truththrough the protection of the One Flesh!

Thought Provoking: Blessing Irregular Couples

Finding it thought provoking that the issue regarding blessing irregular couples seems to hand cuffed the leadership of the Catholic Church from addressing the over ridding Spiritual War against God’s design from “In the beginning”!
That design is described as the “One Flesh” which encompasses the very best solution to teaching and the education of children from the earliest of ages!
The ordained priests have for ages used the title “Father”!  They seem to have no understanding in the modern world of the true Fathers design for Father and Mother!
Focus is on irregular the couples issue?  Seems to me this issues is best addressing at the earliest ages long considered the time to Baptize babies.
So what is it the Catholic Church says to parents?  Expressing the hope that can exist in the first and the best teachers?  How about we get back to the basic’s of defining God’s design for the “One Flesh” in a world marriage is in decline as “Sin” abounds within the human family as “selfie self” has taken over the reigns of the leadership of the oldest Church?
Hmmm – how much danger am I in and from whom?
Make no mistake the “One” who brought me back to life has spoken!
Yea – and he spoke “pick up your cross and come follow me”! Yes, yes!  Joy is buried somewhere in the cross – the doorway lies hidden and only in the darkness of suffering can serve as the flashlight so the suffer can find the doorway in the dark!
Amen!
