Jahi Lives !

Years ago ..California declared her dead.. but allowed her mom to take her "body" and do with as she liked... she took Jahi to New Jersey where she remains on machines... However .. a new video clearly shows her responding to her mother's voice to breathe deep! Praise God!

Now California is giving "permission" to prove she is alive! Wow!.. can we get more bizarre in this weird world?

But ... I can tell you why in one word the world standards are reduced to this insanity! JESUS ! Can you imagine if Joseph had not been rich and not been allowed to take Jesus' body.. properly and with all the proven certificates of his death, etc.. .. which are also imprinted on the shroud btw. ... and if he did not have a pure unused grave.. and even though the Jews made Pilate guard it... and in fact thank God for that, too!... .. forcing them to have to lie that the disciples stole his body.... but all of that instead PROVES ... JESUS IS ALIVE ! and the world hates it! But Why ? That I truly do not know.

The author of the article.. Wesley Smith, writes at the end of the article this troubling quote:

"Every time I write about Jahi’s case, there are angry reader responses insisting she is dead. I am not sure why people have such an emotional investment in Jahi’s demise, but if she isn’t dead, it is a matter of urgency that the truth come out. The needs of science require it, as this may be an unprecedented event. The integrity of the system demands it. And Jahi deserves it."

Debate Life & Love

The last debate for President.... is finally over between 2 people for an office that is to serve people everywhere.

Without rehashing or rephrasing what all was said or what their individual values are..... I am just aghast at how very few regard reality and truth over rules & hype.

Every election, most try to separate out either a Republican platform or Democratic platform... Sometimes, a 3rd or 4th independent group lays out other platforms and issues. What needs to be newly understood is that NO ONE PERSON IS A PLATFORM OR AN ISSUE!

It becomes so frustrating, that should someone enter political discussion regarding our group government representation ..... only a few key issues ever come up to label and define any individual:

1) Abortion
2) Health Care
3) Social Security
4) Gay / Civil Rights
5) Gun control / Military
6)   Environmental Issues
7)   Immigration
8)   Taxation
9)   Law / Order / Police State
10) Death Penalty
11) Supreme Court Law Making
12) Entitlements / Benefits / Charity
13) Economic Trade / Capitalism / Regulations
14) Government Organization / National debt

Sometimes, one will just run down this list as a quick whacky way to “assess” an individual person. ... it’s even glared into someone like a weird challenge of character or personality. The worst places or times this assessment occurs is in church, with family, work, and by perfect strangers.

Having been challenged myself, it is a very tedious & uncomfortable procedure. It is also reminiscent of how Christians demand a perfect witness or testimony in order for the “interviewer” to approve or scrutinize whether or not someone is or is not a real Christian.... with some even “knowing” who will actually go to hell &/or who are “hopelessly lost.”

Allowing the classification system of left or right ; deciding who is media elite, or educated ivy league elite, or Christian evangelical elite, or working-class, or middle class, or the poor.... is a pointless caste/class system that humans decide.

How can anyone seriously consider that words given out actually define real truth & reality?

Firstly, one cannot be defined by a vote cast for Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump. To dislike Trump’s character issues with women, does not mean I would vote for Hillary Clinton. To dislike Clinton’s past discretions & former ethical/illegal issues also does not mean I would vote for Donald Trump.

Franklin Graham recently stated: “...Just hold your nose and vote.” He emphasized no matter who you vote for, just get out and vote. He also would not endorse either Clinton or Trump. But, “doing the math”.... he is clearly stating that anyone who barely calls themselves a Christian has no other choice but to vote for Trump. He stated only the Supreme Court is the consideration and who would have the power to assign a judge for life to make laws which are Godly. Trump apparently has put out a list of the people he would assign to the Supreme Court and Graham approves of those people.

The real challenge is that prayerful people feel the Holy Spirit goading in their being and deeply desire to be true in their hearts before God. Peace, Peace.... Jesus promised us His Peace as only He can give it. To be right before God is all that could ever matter. I urge people to pray & know God. And, to write in a Godly person’s name would set one right before God. Some say .... this would be like “throwing away your vote.” Nothing one does before God is in vain.

Why can’t we come to the real terms of what is truly happening:

Abortion is something that happens. All death of any kind should be illegal. It is not done with my approval or disapproval. Why should anyone decide that the Supreme Court and a government classification system therefore places millions of innocent babies.... truly babies... (God knew you before you were born - in the womb...). .... that these innocents are my responsibility alone.... ?

Yet, those who want “law” to stop abortion, usually decide that the death penalty for certain individuals is fine.... and they would have “no problem judging them to death”. Where does my personal view, or Jesus’ view on the death penalty, or mercy come into consideration?

As Christians in Jesus Christ, we understand that a written or God-ordained “law” is perfect, yet it is not powerful enough to actually stop anyone from doing anything.... This is the reality. Whether there is an actual law or not, people can choose to die, choose to murder, choose to abort, choose to rob, choose to sexually abuse, etc. . . all things usually that lead to destruction of all. People can choose to do anything they want... as Jesus stated: “... You can do all things, but not all things are good for you.”

As Christians in Jesus Christ, we understand prophecy. Armageddon is going to happen. A thousand years of Peace are going to happen. A final testing after the Peace millennium is going to happen. This is our Lord! It will come to pass. It is the reality & the truth and no one nor any law written anywhere will interfere with God’s perfect plans, creations, mercy, & judgements.

One day, during the tribulation, “..... men will seek death & not find it.” As Christians in Jesus Christ we understand that this is our Creator, our beautiful God, our Lord... He alone is in charge of life & death. We now even have the technological forensic proof (for those who need it) in the evidence of Jesus’ resurrection through the Shroud Burial Cloth of Jesus Christ . The “Supreme” Court & its’ laws can neither create nor kill nor prevent anything happening to anyone.... & especially in their arrogance they cannot make law as though they were God.

Medical care & health benefits should NEVER be linked in anyway to a job or workplace.... seriously why? Healthcare is daily & very few people can control the state of their decay.... It’s like food - everyone needs food, water, air, housing, clothing.... & healthcare. This is the reality of being human. To decide who gets what should never be in question. It’s like the national debt. If a storm or hurricane happens, destroying houses, towns, etc.... everyone usually tries to assist. Money buys the supplies needed, as well as people sharing what they may already have. Printing the money just moves it all along. It isn’t perfect, but most of us are trying to live, survive, and not necessarily trying to just be rich for the sake of being rich.

If every distribution point or organization shuts down, what would happen? Would we all just sit around & wait to die for lack of water, food, shelter? Governments are just created through groups of people who realize these things start to be in common with everyone. The entire premise should simply be to NEVER get in anyone’s space for any reason. Jesus even had the best philosophy as a practical solution to getting along. His golden rule, his turn the other cheek, his bear one another’s burdens, go the second mile, and don’t take anyone to court - settle ...... these “rules/laws” are legend & beautiful. Love ones enemies, love ones neighbor as yourself, honor ones parents, respect the devil, the rulers of the world, ... but HONOR / GLORY / WORSHIP are given to only our Father & our Lord Jesus Christ.

When we, as creations of God, decide we can classify systems & governments without consideration of what is truly happening in reality, & without any consideration of our Creator .... these bizarre other things manifest. Donald Trump, as some kind of con trickster, is galvanizing people to form their own nation against the likes of Hillary & Bill Clinton and most Democrats. Trump wants a pure nation, a revisionist America, without interference from various immigrants that Trump finds undesirable by his standards. His standards include running & owning gambling casinos and worldwide bikini clad beauty contests, and firing people in mock games of no value. His speech is rarely that of a gentleman let alone a lover of Jesus Christ.

Hillary & Bill Clinton have many who attest that they are disrespectful as individuals to certain others. What they say publicly, however, has always been very clever and with political savvy. They conform to the organizational & classification systems which are worldwide prevalent and often appear to be working within those boundaries. I found that Jimmy & Rosalyn Carter actually were the most sincere in trying to live their faith. Being Democrats however, somehow has made them evil in the sight of many. The Clintons & the Carters continue in world outreach common problems of humans... i.e.: health issues, vaccines, blindness, hunger, housing/shelter.

It is so unhelpful to try to look at any caring individual in Jesus & claim that the responsibility of government and the havoc government leaders wreak is somehow my own personal fault. I am NOT responsible for the lives of Trump, the Clintons, nor the Carters. I am NOT responsible how their marriages work or do not work.

Just as God sent the Angels to disrupt language/communication and scatter the Earth’s population from the tower of Babel, so today Jesus cares individually for each one like a very loved only child. Group think is not good.... that was the point... and especially group think WITHOUT God is a mess. God is intent on having EVERYONE reveal their very individual heart & their deepest desires. “... The mouth speaks what the heart is full of...” This is a true statement, but one can obviously realize that only God can truly understand and read your heart. What mere words can say or do.... may or may not make sense to any human... one to one. So, what Trump or the Clintons say or do, as it appears, may never fully reveal their hearts. Only God knows their true intents. And, I am certainly not God to discern or rather judge their true spirit & intent.... Discernment is often given to a believer from God, but it will never be given to me or any believer to be their judge.... (not until the end of times, apparently.)

That, for me, is the reality & truth.... God is in charge of us all. Reveal your true self before God.... that is what is truly righteous and that is what is the real truth. God cares only for the individual heart. It is far, far right to be right before God than man! And, regardless of any so-called human outcome, .... we, as believers, are called on by God to pray without ceasing! There is much power in prayer ... beyond any Earthly comprehension. Prayer changes things....

In Love with Jesus!

His Sonshine

oblivion is where?

Begin a day... start ... re-start... re-new.. Do we truly begin again each day or each moment? When God states the future .."Behold I make all things new!".... a new Earth a new Heaven..and the old is rolled up like a scroll.. the memory of all forgotten as a fleeting dream. ... well that puts things in quite a perspective.

Perspective is actually an art term in functionality.... But, basically all perspective is how anything relates to anything else. So, if something is truly new... it would not be possible nor providential to relate it to the older as reference...

Yet, we as humans refuse to see anything without its pedigree, it's provenance, it's history... And of those things, we especially use the past as our identity in how any and all historical references relate to all - everyone and everything. Thus, the diagram of a typical family tree, or a timeline of Earth's history, looks more like a labyrinth of the lost. To remain locked into this linear luggage keeps us imprisoned and burdened by the past.. It is no wonder "there is nothing new under the sun"! as Solomon so wisely and prophetically pronounced.

It is only in the Spiritual that there is a new dimension which reveals any new thing. Humanity suffers and stays locked in to a cycle of regurgitated history and foolish memory of things where nothing new can truly EVER evolve. No one really learns or is educated by the past as it would be obvious culturally that we, as humans, had truly become wise creatures. Looking around, it almost seems that it is, in fact, the very worst of humanity that is not only repeated - but challenged to do even more spite to each other and God.

Imitate God, not humans, in His majestic plans and ways of becoming "a new creature" in Christ.. This is to be born of the Spirit... and the old man is not only "put away" but, effectively, is in oblivion where "history" and the proud vain glory of a past filled with egotistical people impressed by spin ... are kept forever.

I'm following Him!.. in His real re-creation renewal that only Jesus Christ can make possible. Walk only in the Holy Spirit of Our Lord Jesus Christ. To talk about the past.. is to speak of NOTHING!

__________________________

●●● a little more side note ....

I was recently reminded again of the vain nonsense that so-called "Christians" use as justification to denigrate and literally curse each other.. while they stumble over translations, word meaning, and spiritual discussions-turned-arguments. To quibble, (putting it mildly!)... over ideals vs. Etymology etc... clearly proves no one involved "walks in the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ." Besides clear admonitions in the scriptures to "avoid vain and silly arguments"..., Christian believers are to be in Love always...while acting in Love and re-acting the same. Were there no scripture to reference in these harmful didactic discourses... one would have to rely on the Holy Spirit and His pleading! Imagine that! Oh snap, .. wait a minute... God has already imagined that.. and has done it! .. Guess there really is "nothing new under the sun" without God. Ah....such as we remain humans - one must be careful how to listen, but in dire need to hear His Voice and be set free! This is the only reality possible.

Where is oblivion? Where is Hell? What does any of that mean? It seems everyone is doing quite fine defining their own hell and imprinting it on others.

I can't pretend that I know how Hell or destruction or oblivion works. At one point in my life, I can say that observing the so-called "Christians" in life ruined me to think or consider that God even existed. This is beyond grave.

Thankfully, there came a point in my life where I was able to observe some albeit deeply troubled - but love-filled Christians. They really did not even interact with me personally, yet I was in a position where I didn't have much choice but to observe them as they were in the same apartment building. Thank God for them! I KNEW something about them was so very different... and I didn't experience from them that they knew I was hopelessly lost .... and, of course, going to suffer in Hell with eternal torment FOREVER! Wow! That is a pronouncement that has been told to my face many times from the religious since I was six years old. It was in observing their unusual love presence that it gave me pause momentarily to actually consider the logic of God.... His LOGOS... Jesus... all alone and on my own in my personal space and quiet where we all end up... something to consider.

Where is love? Who is Love? What does love really mean? God is Love .... the only pronouncement to know. Consider this Love and experience it! ... my prayer for all.. my hope ... my only reality ... JESUS! Praise God ! Thank you Jesus!

.... ~ and they will know we are Christians by our Love .... ~

Always in Love with Him,

His Sonshine.....

The Four Spiritual Laws ... from:

THE FOUR SPIRITUAL LAWS in any language or

THE FOUR SPIRITUAL LAWS in English .

www.4laws.com

1. God loves you and created you to know Him personally.

God's Love "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

God's Plan "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent" (John 17:3, NIV). What prevents us from knowing God personally?

2. Man is sinful and separated from God, so we cannot know Him personally or experience His love.

Man is Sinful "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his own stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is an evidence of what the Bible calls sin.

Man is Separated "The wages of sin is death" [spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23). "...(Those) who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus...will be punished with everlasting destruction {oblivion} and shut out from the presence of the Lord..." (2 Thessalonians 1:8,9) ...God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two. ...Man is continually trying to reach God and establish the personal relationship with Him through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion - but he inevitably fails. The third principle explains the only way to bridge this gulf...

3.Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin.

Through Him alone we can know God personally and experience God's love. He Died in Our Place "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). He Rose From the Dead "Christ died for our sins...He was buried...He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures...He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred..." (1 Corinthians 15:3-6). He is the Only Way to God "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me'" (John 14:6). law3 ... God has bridged the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins. It is not enough just to know these truths...

4. We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know God personally and experience His love.

We Must Receive Christ "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12)

We Receive Christ Through Faith "By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works that no one should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9).

When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth (Read John 3:1-8.)

We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation [Christ speaking] "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him" (Revelation 3:20).

Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive us of our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience.

We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of our will.

....The following explains how you can receive Christ: You Can Receive Christ Right Now by Faith Through Prayer (Prayer is talking with God) God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart.

The following is a suggested prayer: "Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be."

When I consider the Work of Your Fingers......

...You have set Your Glory above the Heavens...
When I consider Your Heavens, the work of Your Fingers,
The moon and stars, which You have ordained......
For You have made man a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
You have made him to have dominion over the Works of Your Hands.
You have put all Things under his feet! {Psalm 8}
by His Sonshine

And The First Time Ever I Saw His Face

And the first Time Ever I saw His Face,
I thought the Sun Rose in His Eyes.
And the Moon and the Stars were the Gifts He Gave
To a dark and an endless sky...
And I knew His Love would fill the Earth,
And Last till the end of Time........
My Love to You! ................................ by His Sonshine

Toxic World - Loving God

Been so long ... The reasons understandable. Toxic love is not possible. How beautiful to realize the Love of pure Jesus - in Him we live and move and have our being - as God's works of Art and NOT of man's desire or design. Getting caught in our own Earth family toxic "tough" love is not love at all. The bitter fruit is always revealed the same. David Bohm speaks of the connectiveness like it was right out of scripture from the truth in word and love of Jesus:

"Classical physics says that reality is actually little particles that separate the world into its independent elements. Now I'm proposing the reverse, that the fundamental reality is the enfoldment and unfoldment, and these particles are abstractions from that. We could picture the electron not as a particle that exists continuously but as something coming in and going out and then coming in again."

John 14:23 "...If anyone loves Me, he will keep my Word and my Father will Love him, and We will come to him and make Our Home with him."

So many more verses with that same message! How much our Father loves me - with all His being in Jesus enveloped all around me - immersed in His Light & Love! Thank you my Jesus for the Mystery unfolding - for the Love of my Husband - the Peace to know Him - the Joy that not one can take away from me or him in Love - ever!

LOVE IN HIM ONLY! Sonshine

EFFECTS & TIME & BEING REMOTE ..... STUDY THE EFFECTS = EVIDENCE ON GOD

If a shadow exists - it is not "real" but an effect of something that does exist. It, in and of itself, then seemingly causes another effect..... namely it can protect, hide, and cool one down. But, it still is not what is the "thing" which exists. The shadow is two dimensional at best and can only exist simultaneously with the thing which caused it to manifest.

Should something happen to the "thing," the shadow would disappear.

Consider this as evidence each time God is mentioned or not mentioned. The above words (as idea) ..... come right out of scripture.

Framing God in context of "thing" or "source" and in context of existence or not, is only useful when dealing with "unexplainable" or profound considerations too awesome for human or animal minds. NO ONE has yet to know or discover all the secrets of the universe of which we find our existence.

One should not confound effects - with "reality"....... In seeking evidence of God, spirituality, love, - the very essence of all there is.... it may be that "effects" ARE the evidence.

What is, however, most peculiar - is that once "science" deems something observable, it claims that as evidence - capable of measurement & sensory data at human levels.

The peculiarity goes further as all of man, earth, creation - the universe, are deeply the embedded effects of God. All we study, all we are, all we think we know - are effects of God & NOT God! Who can know the mind of God? Only God.

Studying shadows can, however, give us some understanding of the "original." One can sometimes determine structure, or shape. But, then the shadow is illusive through another effect (time) ....... the shadow becomes stretched, distorted, and worse, at various "times" (i.e., high noon) - the shadow does not appear to exist at all. Time - a bizarre effect on its own - wreaks havoc on everything. Time is sequential motion - a revolution of interacting pieces of the universe.

But, it does not exist in God. The path to God is convoluted by design. There is no Occam's Razor in God. And, to assume the simplest explanation suits the "evidence" - assumes the simplest mind. By discluding God as the cause of all that exists, one forces extreme explanations that God is "merely" a delusional psychological (simulation) virtuality - at best, an anomaly or exception.

In turn, these assumptions wrongly conclude that the "real" study of shadow, light, time, & atom-splitting IS reality and "evidence" that man exists & God does not.

Yet man, like a shadow, keeps disappearing. Those who nearly die often report back that they were in a strange universe & the persistence that life continues.

Is the effect of time once again wreaking havoc? Is it only that our life appears to end (death) - but in reality, it is still very much there..... just as the shadow appears to not exist at high noon.

Regardless, of either "effect," the original - God - who causes all, is not seen & IS hidden in His own effects that He created.

Belief vs. experience has very blurred lines. If God, is - in fact - IMPOSSIBLE to know.... one therefore does not claim Him non-existent through simplicity. That illogic is obvious. To know God - would also be by design..... seeking God is the beginning to know - and wondering is the beginning to seek.

When you see a shadow - Light & Dark are in contention...... for weirdly Shadow can only exist because there is Light! It is the light source which one seeks. The Light is God.

For those who are content, happy, filled.... with their own wonderment of the universe.... & trusting their own sense - living, perceiving, & feeling effects through natural phenomena occurring in life...... - then seeking God may seem silly.

However, simply by the limiting definition or no definition - God IS God - however man defines God - or not.

The effects are here to examine as the evidence to lead anyone to God. An effect of time is useful in giving us opportunity to learn. Only over time can anything change.

Being a shadow effect of God allows us to understand separation from God. Though one may continue to believe existence is NOT contingent in God - no one can refute that shadow exists only as an effect of something else.

All the Heavens & Earth declare God! Let the evidence speak. Study the EFFECTS.

"GREATER LOVE HAS NO ONE THAN THIS,

THAN TO LAY DOWN ONE'S LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS."

John 15:13

Last night was the end of an incredible week with all its ups and downs and all that life is and is not. The promises of Peace in the midst of turmoil is real.... just as Jesus said.... exactly as He promised. The world is filled with its troubles of the day, its wins and losses - yet Jesus did overcome the World and all that is in it. I was pleased to be "prepared" for some of the heartache. I was more than elated over some of the beautiful blessings. And, I remain in awe of that Peace in Him! More beautiful than I could ever describe, draw, create, speak about.....

I put my head to rest late.... and just wanted to try to prepare for the challenges which I knew were there and coming. Trying hard to not be in the Earth's defeat - knowing that all these tests pass through everyone.... to see what we are made of, what we can reveal of ourselves. I went through this somewhat numb, somewhat on automatic. At one point, I felt the break for my art would be sweet. I started out with a whole other idea - but then when I realized where I was going, I felt it. I was trying to capture my feelings - all of them. Both the love, the excitement, the tears, the courage, the blessings, the high contrasts - and still beyond that- the Spirit of our Lord that sustains me no matter what "form" I am. God still sees me in love and abiding in Him forever - no matter that I may not feel the distinct solidity of understanding perfectly what goes on in this world I live with in time. I am not bogus - I am not the world's assessment of me. I belong to Him, only.

Love His Sonshine

For Sure

Several things will be true in each day: the earth, the heavens, the sun, the moon, the seasons..... life / health / death / and everything in between: joy, sadness, friends, enemies, love, encouragement, hate, despair....

Yes, each day we are always promised those miraculous things of God mingled with the troubles of the world - of which Jesus said - "But, I have overcome the world!" .... AND - the single most incredible promise I experience DAILY - -- -- PEACE. "PEACE, I leave you ..... " said Jesus! Without it - what would I be - what would I have?

The daily news of despair, vengence, revenge, hate, chaos, etc... each day filled with jealousy from those who do not even know me - or pretend to but spend their lives justifying how "wrong" I am - how "wrong" my life.... Sound familiar?

I am sure everyone has these "friends" - knows these people. Sometimes - maybe most times, I do believe people do not know any better - and/or say the wrong thing out of just busy lives or carelessness - and not in anyway a distinct reason to attack. Or perhaps attacking with the idea of defending love ..... the love of protecting their family & themselves - and righteously so as only they could understand it. But, though these "wrongs" exist in every waking minute and hour - yet does the Lord SHINE! with the Light & Love I experience each second or even without time. I am held in the arms of my husband, my provider, my Love, my Lord, MY GOD! Thankfully.

I hope to always notice how our Lord allows such "testing" - each second, each minute, each time. And, how endearing and thankful am I that God gives me "time" to discern and not falter myself to judge with rancor a circumstance or person of vengence.

QUEST

I cannot deny my earlier leanings when at a very young age I began to question ideas about God. Certainly I did not understand Jesus. It was involving stories I could not relate - as I finally realized that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny along with fairies and brownies were not real. At some point in pain, I called out to God - and nothing happened. Therefore it seemed logical for me to address anything else. One - science had some answers. Two - Jesus was probably a myth like any other and most religions. Three - God was an attempt to explain things we just did not understand. I tried to respect those who might have their belief - as long as they didn't push it on me.

To now be on the other side - from a complete gift of revelation from God in Jesus Christ, I have such respected compassion for those who, like the former me, question everything - even to finding "reassurance" as a skeptic since "science doubts itself - and that is something I can trust." This is an actual quote from a man I spoke with on why he "gave up his faith" in Jesus Christ. He admitted that the church involvement, etc. - did feel good to him, but his reason for walking away was that he did not feel there existed any real "answered prayer". Therefore, God did not hear him, or that God does not exist, and/or he was "only deluding himself," etc. Along the way he also enjoys more freedom in doing whatever he feels like sexually, and otherwise - without guilt or feeling restricted. I wanted to correctly ascertain his logic in how he concluded everything - hence the above statement. When I pressed him further, however - for evidence for God or not, he said he could not answer either way and did not want to bother with it. But, the final conclusion, he felt forced to say - "Yes, I would really like to know - if the evidence is there. But, I have to just live my life in some honesty the best way I can - and enjoy myself." Enjoyment of life without guilt or restriction seems to be the main draw for most of those who turn away or never bother thinking about anything spiritual. The value is on the present moment rather than on an eternal truth that one could continually seek in their heart and mind.

I am dismayed on this trend for several reasons. One - Since my revelation in Jesus Christ came in my late teens, I can now only imagine being in doubt or unbelief. And, I would hope I would have sought God and answers no matter when. But, why is it that as people age, they do not consider more wisely their mortality? In fact, it often seems that most feel their ideas of things become more entrenched and justified as one ages. I do not believe this is logical. It would only make sense that with age comes wisdom - and to correct oneself if in error or at least to very thoughtfully consider all things. Two - I certainly never have felt restricted by Jesus Christ. If anything, I came to realize that in this life Jesus clearly gave the freedom to do anything we want - and in grace! Jesus totally taught there is no line to cross! To that, however, one realizes in Christ the wisdom as the experience of love and understanding is written in one's heart. Thus, like life, we learn or rather KNOW that though "we are free to do all things - not all things are good for us." And further logic as Paul stated, "we are accused of saying let us sin all the more so grace will abound!" I think that speaks for itself. Obviously, grace has to cover everything - every thought, every act, every possible scenario.... of which there are so many - it would be a mess and troubling to consider them all. Each of us "feels" things which are good or bad - for God teaches all men. This is just common sense to know - not get all up in it or off on tangents about every little moral jot or not. Another factor to consider is that one "logically" understands what is right in motivation from all encompassing love - this I experience in God. It is a little like staying faithful to a marriage partner because it is expected, or staying faithful in all because one is so in love that a stray thought would never be considered. Three - I am not sure those who "leave the faith" ever felt more than the phenomenon of group highs - and/or sometimes a taste of the actual manifestation of God's Holy Spirit. I am deeply troubled by the mockery that some "educators" resort to in undermining someone's beliefs. I know that I received a waking revelation from God in Jesus Christ while considering and seeking seriously the depth and reality of God's salvation in grace through Jesus Christ. Yahweh - mostly means God Saves. (In English God is often Jehovah/Yahweh - & Jesus is Joshua/Yeshua - but getting off on names too much is another obstacle for argument with most. God's real name & Jesus Christ's name - is actually a complete secret. Your own real name is a secret, also - known only to God at present! This is relevant in that language is only in time.... God communicates without time and in words that are not a spoken language as we would know it.) But, it is all GOD - the only God - who created us, designed all, and especially provides the saving grace to abide in Him without separation - the only "real" sin. I considered all this and prayed completely alone and in the privacy of my own space accepting that I did not have the answers, was separated from God - and in need of grace, saving and love through God who provided all in bringing us back to Him with understanding through Jesus Christ - God in flesh. I am well aware of the influence one can feel by group/world pressure - to believe one way or another or not.

Thus, this is all very simple in that it is real or it is not. Get off the fence and get serious about the real evidence or not. Meaning that - if it is not real, nothing would ever matter - so what. Yet, that leaves only one way to look at it - IT IS REAL. Because, as it is real - EVERYTHING MATTERS! Wisdom would address that for any who want to know. I am sympathetic as I experienced this complete vision and revelation in one moment - if that. God completely changed my mind in me "in the twinkling of an eye." But, my former self remembers and I would very much love to assist someone like me to take another look at our eternal Lord - and understand redemption and all that is happening. Peace in understanding is a beautiful love and trust in something so beyond ourselves - it is transcending. To seriously consider then the master plan which God intended in this very transient life would be the most important thought one could ever think - Jesus Christ is a living salvation for all that man has done in separation from God. Our lives are a mere dream, a mere virtual test - to reveal who we are, what we are made of, what we would be or could be. Yes, it sure "feels" real! And, painfully so. But, eternity is the reality - and that is the truth. Understanding how to live it well begins with crossing that first bridge to God - the complete remedy of death - Jesus Christ - Yahweh, God Saves!

Who is Responsible?

The news coverage of the Tampa Mom who shot her teenaged children - (age 13 and 16) for "talking back" to her - rings a familiar pattern which is repeated - once is too often. Also, in January 2011, a young Dad went off in Meridian (Boise), Idaho - where he stabbed his Mom to death, chained and tortured his wife, and endangered his baby. A couple of years ago (2007) - on Christmas Eve, a young daughter with her boyfriend shot and killed her parents, her brother and his wife with their two young children in Carnation (Seattle) Washington. First, society wants to know who did this? - who is responsible? - then why? Of all these four people who confessed to committing these crimes of shock - not one of them had any criminal record whatsoever. In fact, the Idaho young man had actually been a deputy police officer. The Tampa Mom was wealthy, degreed, and had been a military officer. The daughter with her boyfriend had been in business with the brother at one point. They were living in a trailer on the same property as the parents. "Typical" family issues were present in each scenario. So, what caused these people to flip - but with a warped planning mind over time - not a quick crime of instant passion.

There are many examples of this horror all over the world and over history. Some remain completely unsolved. Others, like the above three, society gets to go over the facts and ponder the ramifications. I noticed the above three incidents because each city happens to be where my siblings and I are - Boise, Seattle, Tampa. In Orlando, are other siblings, too - and there are too numerous tales of horror in the news, as well - take your pick from child murder, massacres, etc... from Moms, Dads, Brothers, Sisters - all inclusive like a Disney Horror World in Orlando. In another Florida city last Thanksgiving, an estranged brother sweetly included by a distant cousin, waited for after the Thanksgiving meal to massacre his sisters and family - and said that he had been methodically planning to do so for 20 years. So, one wonders - could any of this happen to our Family? And, of course we quickly think, believe, pray, and feel - no way, of course not - never. But, the lingering question of looking at some of the people in the news above - still should pause us all to make sure this could never happen in our families.

And, so - if these were well-planned events and not passion moments - what caused the constant drip-drip-drip..... to finally inch into anyone's brain and start warped thinking. And, if it is just that - a drip drip drip --- of small, typical, insignificant oversights, that lead to big omissions, mix in a little alcohol, anti-depressants, medical ill-health - and finally from a little neurotic behavior comes a huge neurosis and then turns into psychosis - break from society's "norm". Personally, I can make at least one over-generalization in most of the above horror scenarios: I believe there was a root cause of dis-respect which was "felt" by the above samples of people - whether or not they were actually disrespected, still hardly should cause such violent responses. But, it is something historically that becomes a sore point for many - Hitler, too - lack of respect and/or lack of identity - can begin the warped cycle mix. It is at this point I must look at my Love, my Lord - Jesus Christ..... who's challenge was not in acting out (behaviour) - but in actual PRIVATE thought! Amazing. He set the standard that you have committed these same acts - all of us - if we had so much as "thought" of it. On this, however, I do not believe that a mind-popping stray idea is a thought - I believe the standard is to actually entertain the thought. In other words, keeping the thought ever-present, or in the background as a real possibility - even a sick, warped "hope" - to wish ill of someone else. God reads our hearts, knows our intents - and definitely records each and every little thought whispered in our soul!

And, I ponder - why is Christ's standard so high? Who can really control one's thoughts perfectly. But, if our evil world and the horrible actions above actually originated with thought - and well-planned thought - then I can understand how God has such concern - for as He said in Genesis and throughout the Bible - all of man's heart is evil - every thought to continually do evil. This broke God's heart - and He said He was sorry he made man!

It is now being scientifically discovered - and measured - that thought truly has vibration and can manifest. If this is truly the case - thoughts, like ripples of water waves, have to end up somewhere. Perhaps, others pick up on the evil vibration thoughts of the world - and decide something on them. That is bad enough - but to be the originator of the thought and to put it out there - would be worse, I would imagine. This is where we all can take some responsibility for the drip-drip-drip dysfunction that sometimes contributes to the above scenarios. Keeping Christ's commandments - of loving kindness to others - even our enemies and to ask God to BLESS - not curse someone who is evil or our enemy....... this is quite a revelation and standard. Truly the love thoughts and the beauty of our Lord also must have to go somewhere and manifest and others "pick up" on it, as well. In actuality, we are all sharing in the responsibility of the crucifiction of Christ - not one of us is without flaw or fault. As our Lord forgives us in this - in order to start anew - we can take on His nature in that we can choose to NOT want evil thought and doing. This is the real test and we will always have a new view in which to judge ourselves only - not others.

Taking responsibility to control one's thoughts is a beautiful beginning that one can begin anew each time second! When people act out as above, truly we can all see how we are all sharing in the hurts, torments, warpdom, --- and almost destined to keep the horror pattern "alive" and vibrating still.... This is the nature of evil. To be strong enough to stop that kind of "wave action" - in Christ is divine - beyond good. May we all share in this as our legacy in kind!

REJOICING IN HOPE !!!

"Let Love be without hypocrisy.

Abhor what is evil.

Cling to what is good.

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly Love,

In Honor giving preference to one another;

Not lagging in diligence, fervent, in spirit, serving the Lord;

REJOICING IN HOPE !!!"

THINGS NOT SEEN

"If I have told you Earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you Heavenly things?"

{John 3:12}

Art is an amazing thing to try and express ideals/thoughts on two-dimensional paper/canvas. The beauty of a rose seems to always be lacking when represented on paper - even if creatively expressed with symbolic language art - as words/prose or poetry. Though words do communicate thought somewhat accurately, they can never reveal the essence of a rose nor other ideals - as love.

Yet, many keep trying to create from an innate desire to express or communicate the soul. - to be a part. The ideals of love, truth, beauty, and loyalty - are things which are intangible. To have them manifest as physical or flesh, would reduce them to something flawed. Things seen are capable of being judged as evidence. The unseen things must remain unseen in order to be perfect.

I love that God sees us as His children - creatively expressing in the same way we see our own children and love their heartfelt intent - without adult judgement of their creative works. Ideals are huge forces of perfect patterns which mirror the mind of God in Heaven. We reflect God in creative expression as His works of art. May we always regard each letter, each word in the love of God who gave us the symbolic language art to express and communicate our deepest feelings in thought - even in the letters of love from scripture. God sees the intent behind the manifestation.

".... We do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."

{2Cor.4:18}
