Jesus Is Calling All Sinners Come Home. How Do I Know?

I woke to this song playing inside of me. Still playing inside of me on an early morning walk; cup of decaf coffee; gardening on the patio; soaking in a strawberry pound cake scented bath while singing silently in tongues to that very tune ; and still inside of me now.

Time is short and nearer then you think that Jesus is coming to claim His people. Are you ready? Are you dabbling in sin (be it big or small that is because sin is sin?) I woke yesterday and Holy Spirit had me go into Revelation 22. I read TPT version. Verses 10-11 jumped out at me. "And he said to me, Don't keep secret the prophetic words of this book for the time is near. Let the evildoers be at their worst and the morally filthy continue in their depravity-yet the righteous will still do what is right, and the holy will still be holy.
Verse 15 "Those not permitted to enter are outside: the malicious hypocrites, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, murderers, idolaters, and every lover of lies."

Are you going to choose eternal death in hell or heaven? Make your choice now while you still have the opportunity to. Now is not the time to be a stubborn, knuckle head use wisdom, this is your eternal life/destination we are talking about. Repent for the time is at hand and it is nearer then you think.

On my early morning walk I noticed a flower growing amongst the recently cut grass and I captured a picture of it. See, I am not sure but I think it is a morning glory. Then the song by Juanita Bynum comes to my remembrance, I will have to  get it for you to listen to. I did a few short videos of how my garden is coming along would you like to see? Remember a few weeks ago I bought a plant for 1.00 at a local farmer stand I frequent? Look at the hibiscus bloom that just happened. I planted the dill and carnations from seeds and they are coming up nicely. I saw the baby hummingbird this morning and said hello baby it almost came up to me but not close enough. I think it was inquisitive. Simple joys bring much joy what about you?

Remember The 2 Parallel Airplane Lines In The Sky? Days After That I Walked A Parallel Out In My Life. Mark 12:38-40

 

"As he taught, he said, "Watch out for the scribes! They like to walk around in long robes, to be greeted in the marketplaces, and to have front seats in synagogues and the places of honor at dinners. They rob widows by taking their houses and then say long prayers to make themselves look good. The scribes will receive the most severe punishment."

That was exactly the  scripture verse Holy Spirit gave to me to read as a confirmation that I followed His voice in walking out the parallels that week in my life. You do know that not each and everyone of the adventures I go on with Holy Spirit are comfortable and filled with laughter, joy and fun right. I have many far too numerous to list right now when they are just that. At the beginning of this week I am sharing about today it was just that. Met friends and we attended the live recording of  a Michael W. Smith event at Lipscomb University. I already shared that with you in a previous blog. Something happened to a church I used to attend in the past. When I was made aware of this I wept for the pastors, their family and the congregation. So,1 day I was listening to a video and something caught my attention, Israel jewelry would be there. That was the first spark within me to have my attention. Then it was endorsed by a local pastor so Holy Spirit had me prepare to go to that church gathering. I have not been in this church for quite a while now so I knew to inquire as I entered the sanctuary if it was permissible to use my rain stick during worship. I had free liberty to worship with the rain sticks when I would go to this church. It was granted but the opportunity never arose at that particular service. I happened to wear 2 rings, a pendant and matching earrings of Israel jewelry I already had.. I wore it so I had something to compare with when browsing over the jewelry on the table for sale. I tried a few rings on after the service but nothing prompted me to purchase. Please do not think that this is snubby or anything like that but my pieces were more beautiful and at much better price points when I purchased them. Quality, vibrancy and techniques used to create them. The person selling the jewelry notice that I was wearing jewelry from Israel. It is distinct, it truly is.

As I am sitting in the sanctuary there is so little people in attendance. The ones that were there were so few familiar faces I recognized. I felt bad for them and wondered where is this one and where is that one. I heard Holy Spirit to place $5.00 in the offering basket and I did. I felt very sorry for this church and was asking Holy Spirit I have a few gift cards in my purse should I give them also after the service. he told me no so I did not. My compassionate heart wanted to bless but it was not the time or right place to further bless. After I left the service and was walking to my car I recognized 1 familiar face that is a part of the praise team. I did not know the people on their praise team anymore. I started to inquire as to where is this one, where is that one? I was told they left about a month ago. They did not know where they went though. Then this man came up to the small group of us and shook my hand. I did not feel good when he shook my hand it was not a Holy Ghost warm, fuzzy sort of feeling and I shook it off of me as I walked to my car. What in the heck was that all about.

2nd of the 2 to make it a parallel, happened that same weekend. See, for 2 prior weeks before this I kept putting off going to another church that is somehow connected to this story. I thought it was the enemy trying to pull me away from my calling/destiny. Do you understand that? Surely that cannot be you God calling me to that church. I fought it for 2 weeks in a row. Now, Holy Spirit is speaking to me to go again that Sunday. See, I had to see and experience before I could compose and give a letter to this pastor after the church service. This is a pastor with a pretty dynamic flair and I did not want to be told I could not worship there that day. That never happened to me that day. It was a fear I had to deal with. I also asked if it was ok to worship with the rain stick as I entered the doors of that gathering. I was greeted not with apprehension but with genuine love and I saw familiar faces there too that day. Once I got over myself I figured out I was on a Holy Spirit assignment and where He sends me He protects me also. I was to place the same amount $5.00 in their offering too. In this instance, I was to include a $2.00 bill along with the letter in the notecard also. I do not know the details of the inner workings of Holy Spirit at times. I just know what He shows me to do and I follow through ok. Worship was beautiful at this service and at 1 point I had presence of God tears in my eyes along with a smile upon my face. I did use the rain stick a few times during worship as Holy Spirit so graciously shows me how to play it. It is about timing, tempo and even movements He shows me how to play the rain stick. My eyes are closed and I can physically see as to how to play it , I just follow through with what I am seeing in these moments. It is as though there is a rain stick I am seeing and then I see this and that and I am just flowing in what He is showing me how to play the instrument in my hands at the time. I am confident in saying this is how it happens to me when I pick up a percussion instrument in my hands at His prompting. There are times I see a certain tempo before I actually play the tempo only to find out as I am playing the tempo already switched with the worship person and I was right in sync with them if that makes sense to you.

I try to describe what I am experiencing in moments of worship I hope you understand. This is important also to the parallel story. Both service I fasted before attending. Fasted dinner in the one and fasted breakfast in the other. May I be frank and honest with you? I noticed 2 things happen to me after each service. The first service I was home not that long after the service and I pulled a muscle in my leg and I  am still having to deal with it even though it has been over a week ago now. Prior to me going to the 2nd service a situation came up in which I could do nothing about it time wise until after the church service when I could address it. After that church service I contacted a company that charged my account a 90.00+ amount for something that was cancelled weeks prior. I did some research on this particular product and found out it was false that they were claiming to be endorsed by the Shark Tank people. Also found out that other's had to cancel a credit card in order to stop future automated charges to their account. I had wisdom along with the emails showing it was cancelled weeks prior. I contact the organization and share my concerns and why was I charged again? I also let them know I may report this organization for falsely advertising. I did not share this all with you when it first happened because I told them I would not write about it on my blog then. I kept my word. Now that they erred a second time I was then to freely share about it with you. The first time I cancelled the automated charge I improved upon my negotiating skills and requested to speak with a supervisor. See, if I did not press the issue I would have only settled for a 35% refund amount given to me. I pressed in until 75% was offered to me. Even at that I wanted to know if there would be a further amount given to me. At the time I had to settle for 75% of the original amount given back to me. It operates on the premise that you have 14 days to try the product and if you do not cancel within that time frame you are then on auto shipment. I let them know I used to work for Estee Lauder and I knew a bit about skincare products and no way was their product worthy of 90.00+ dollars. The few people I did speak with back then I suggested maybe they not work for this company but go and get jobs with Estee Lauder. Even in the  midst of this confusion Holy Spirit gave me a prophetic word for one of the representatives I spoke with. They honored their commitment to me and refunded the 75% of the total amount along with another extra shipping fee I was charged for a 2nd product I DID NOT order.

Back to parallel story now ok. I am speaking with a representative of the organization after that 2nd(of the 2 parallel church services) church service I attended that day and this time not only the full purchase amount that was pending to be charged to my account was going to be credited to me. I also received 2 more emails letting me know the original shipping fee along with the 25% amount I was not refunded prior weeks ago was also being credited to my account. They did follow through with what they said they were going to do.

I am not judging 1 church service over another for that is not my job ok.

I took notes in my journal for the Sunday service" I had tears & a smile on my face as we sang in worship "Oh How I Love Jesus." I saw a few familiar faces and I am here in obedience to Holy Spirit this very day. The pastor spoke There is great strength in quietness to not speak against your enemies. 2 Kings 13:14. ( As you read on the king did not strike the ground enough times to defeat his enemies. Elisha became angry with him and told him you would have completely defeated the enemy but because you only struck 3 times you will only defeat them 3 times.) There is a lot of white witchcraft amongst the prophets. A vindication is coming for the office of the prophet. Shoot high/stay low. Prophets answer to God not to man Prophets stand alone & answer to God."

So I come home and write a bit more after all of this happened. "You decide which church is flowing in truth & Holy Spirit. Lord whomever this prophetic council/advisor board is expose the things happening right under their very noses in their ministries. Have mercy Jesus have mercy. I am listening to Donnie Swaggart's todays broadcast and it seems to line up with what the pastor was flowing in. I saw a hurt pastor and there was a time during the service I silently wept intersession and prayed silently in tongues for them until it lifted from me."

There is a bit more to this scenario if I may share at this time with you. The day after this Sunday service I felt the weeping intersession come upon me for this entire situation and I wept interceding praying in tongues. I was drawn during this time as if my eyes were drawn upward to the ceiling space above a track light in my kitchen area. It lifted from me. Just yesterday I spoke with Holy Spirit and said I do beleive my assignment was done. The part I had to play in this and I lifted my hands up and gave it back to God.

I was flowing in the wind of Holy Spirit for a good period of time by attending a particular service for several weeks. I feel a shift in my life to no longer go and that does not mean the winds of Holy Spirit is not flowing there, it means I sense a shift of winds blowing in my life to shift elsewhere for me. I enjoyed it while it lasted in my life. Now it is time for me to follow the winds in a different direction in my life. I told Holy Spirit, then you will have to fill in this time in my life when I was actually going there. So far, He has been faithful and did. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. You know, the fleshy part of me really does want to know the names of these people on prophetic councils pointing/holding judgement/giving ultimatums to other prophets. Who is appointing the people to sit on these councils? Is it man or is it God? Do you not think God is God enough to correct His own? I let go of it and if I am supposed to know the names somehow it will fall in my lap the info that is so to speak. Until then "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." Matthew 7: 1-2,  get the point? Good. Thank God I get to watch church at home today. Finished just in time to make a little breakfast and participate in church in my home, Family Worship Center (I think that is the name I just connect to Sonlife domestic live app.)

Confirmation dream I had yesterday morning : I was in a room at a conference. Sitting at a round table. A well know prophet walked around the table and tapped each person sitting @ the table with me. Like a sort of activation or confirmation. He tapped them on either their shoulder or their back. The only one at the table that did not receive that was me. I was I think ok with that and in that moment a huge eagle flew in the room from the ceiling and flew downward. Well, I guess that is showing me Holy Spirit is the one that confirms/appoints/anoints and I am perfectly fine with that Amen.

Found A Great Video I Think You Will Like. Going To Sit In The Sun & Listen To Part 2 Now.

 I stumbled upon this video. Something caught my attention in the video. They kept talking about the significance of the date April 9th. That caught my attention because that is the official date they told us my brother Ricky died in the boating accident when they never recovered his body. Interesting, very interesting. As I am composing this I am being reminded that my friend's daughter is enlisted in the Coast Guard, I wonder if she would be able to explain the Coast Guard report that was given to my mother when all of this occurred? I must be thinking out loud.

Unlikely Friendships with Ken Fish and Eric Metaxas Part 1 | Mike Bickle and John Chisholm  

Shhhh, Can You Keep a Secret? I'm ...

Well, my mom is turning 92 years old shortly. What do you get a woman who is this age for a birthday gift. After many years of getting birthday gifts for her you tend to get innovative. What do you think? My mom loves sitting on the screened porch with the ceiling fan on (but not on days when it is too humid/hot) or even watching the birds from the dining room area while she reads her books. She is an avid reader and she loves when I get her from the Christian book store the Amish type of novels. I have been getting them for her for years now. So much so that I ask the person at the register to check and see if I already bough that one before as I am checking out. This is a great concept, they will buy back books. So when my mom has a good amount of books she read they come back to me. I then take them to that particular store and they let you know in a few days the amount you can get back or apply it as a credit. I opt for the credit because I then apply it to purchases of more Amish books for her. Before I take them back I offer them to my friends mom (who will be turning 90 years old shortly) to read first. I have some in which I need to go to the store and submit for buy back. It does not end up being lots of money and that is perfectly fine because it is still a credit I can apply to future purchases.

This year I will still get a few Amish novels but I am also going in a different reading direction. She loves watching the birds so I came across in the PBS catalogue a thick book that writes about a variety of birds throughout the world. Not only does it give descriptions, there is an audio built within the book. You enter the number that coordinates with that particular bird and you can then hear their song they sing. Isn't that innovative? Hope she likes it. I recently ordered a collective coin as a gift. They sent a catalogue and I found another, gift just for her. This is more sentimental value than actual monetary value. As long as I can remember Nana would so many times tuck in a $2.00 bill in cards or just give to the grandkids. I sort of picked up that little tradition. They are not as easy to find to purchase now-a- days, so I tend to get some when they have them at the bank to purchase. This particular $2.00 bill I ordered has imprinted on the front fire works .My mom loves to watch the patriotic 4th of July fireworks programs PBS shows. Memorial Day, etc. that PBS shows. So, the starter of gift giving $2.00 bills and lover of Patriotic USA is now combined in 1 gift for her. Do you think she will like it?

Another interesting thought about the hummingbirds by her and by me. I shared with her how when I hear the noise they make sometimes I look up in the sky and it is as if they are dancing for me. They then dive down to the feeder to partake in sweet nectar. The same thing she noticed happens by her. Isn't that interesting, not just hummingbirds drinking the nectar but putting on a beautiful display for our eyes to see. Such a blessing, do you have ears to hear and then eyes to see the blessings all around you?

Michael W. Smith Last Night Was High Praise/Worship To King Jesus, Thank You Thank You Thank You

 Weeks ago I was with friends at World Outreach outside service. Michael W. Smith was there in worship. They announced there would be a live taping of a music project and there were a limited amount of tickets set aside to purchase in the World Outreach category. I said to my friends we should go. I never dreamed that my friend would purchase a ticket for me as a gift. I went last night with them and it was a beautiful worship experience. We sat pretty high up and I know why we did. There were a few times Holy Spirit would direct my eyes to the ceiling area, at first it was directly in our section. Then it grew to view the whole circumference of the ceiling area as He would show me the angels there in worship with us all. When Holy Spirit presence is at a place I either get tears in my eyes or a huge smile goes on my face. The 2nd took place several times as I would focus in on certain sections of the ceiling. I do not see like you may see a direct angel, I sense angel presence and let me tell you there were many angels and we were all worshiping Jesus. How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful it was.

I baked another recipe from the cook book. This time Lemon Cheesecake Crackle Cookies and I brought some to my friends to enjoy. I got up early this morning and I was sitting on my patio enjoying breakfast and I looked in the sky and something caught my attention. I watched it  and even took a short video of it too. Two perpendicular lines, you know the kind air planes make. I wondered to myself my they must have been close in proximity at one point and how did they end up being perpendicular to each other? I think deep things like that and of course, Holy Spirit has an answer for me when I wonder about things of this nature. I will share the video clip of His explanation to me. I then took a few pictures to follow the lines in the sky. Sure enough, what He spoke was happening before my very eyes, Imagine That! That is God in action, yes it is to the nay sayers have faith and beleive a bit and you will start to see Him in nature ok.

I live at times to rescue sad looking plants, I do. I was a the local farmer's fruit/vegetable stand and there was a clearance on plants, all for $1.00 each plant. I picked out the best of the 2 of hibiscus and thought I will try my MiracleGro on them and let's see if they bloom. I can always take them with me to Atlanta and my family can plant them in the ground as opposed to me planting them in a planter. God is faithful to me is He faithful to you?

Bought A New Cookbook, Do You Think I Tried A Recipe From It Yet? I Blessed 2 Organizations With The Dessert. This Is A Good Recipe, I Will Make It Again.

 When I was out & about a few days ago I noticed a cookbook. It caught my attention enough so that I picked it up and looked at it. I found a few recipes I would try and 1 caught my eye. I had all the ingredients at home except peanut butter. I bought some peanut butter along with the book. Would you like to know what recipe I made?  Buckeye Brownies, I know this is a popular candy choice in Ohio, chocolate buckeyes. I  made them once years ago and they are too much work for me. This is a second best but just as good tasting as the buckeye candies you can make. Why tackle all the hard work when you can make this recipe and it is yummy. The recipe said you did not have to use gluten-free brownie mix, good thing because I was going to use Ghirardelli brownie mix that I already had in my pantry. This recipe turned out really good. I don't just bake for the sake of baking ok. I had to bless my dentist's office when I went for an appointment. I also blessed the leasing office for their diligent work this past weekend with overseeing the pool and finally the lack of noise on a holiday weekend. What they did worked and I was most grateful for that.

I brought in the fresh blackberry cake with blackberry frosting the last time I was at the dentist. My dentist shared with me that she brought some of the cake home with her for her husband to try. He asked her where they could get that cake, he liked it. She had to respond that it was a recipe from the Farm Bureau Magazine. Isn't that funny, I think that is. You know that Butter Rum Cream regular coffee I bought the other day? It was way too much coffee for me with having 2 cups that day so I just knew to not make this regular coffee and need to stick with flavored decaf. Guess who got that? The dental office, along with a few of the tea bags in the 2 different flavors for them to try to infuse their water. I truly appreciate very good service and that is what I have received by going to this dentist. When you had prior bad expereinces you truly appreciate fine quality experiences.

You know what has been happening the last 2 days? As I am sitting on my patio I look up in the sky and I see the hummingbird dancing in the sky and then it dives down to the feeder. I have never seen this before. What do you think that means? Yesterday (7/6/2021) I was up really early like after 1:00AM early that is. I did a few things around where I reside. I made up the 2 dessert plates and I really wanted to go back to sleep and rest but that never happened. I began to look through 1 of my journals and I knew 1 thing, I was to read scripture from TPT bible I keep on my bed. After I was done with all my incidental chores I then picked up the bible. There was a pencil in the bible sort of like a marker but I knew to take it out. I did what I do on occasion, close my eyes and ruffle the pages and where Holy Spirit says to stop is when I open my eyes and read. It was in Galatians 5:7 and I read all the way through to the end of that chapter. It is beautiful how it is translated the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Let me share that with you ok.

"joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit."

A few weeks ago while at awakening meeting on Friday night 6/18/2021 there was a powerful move of God. In my journal it is time stamped @ 9:55PM I received words at my seat. May I share them with you?

"Fire is fire when you let Me refine you-the fire you walk through & the fire you will lead others through if you trust Me & My ways I will be the fire the all consuming fire that we will walk together. Do not give up faith you know what you are called to do & it is already done-don't let this & that try to take you away from what I call you forth to be. TRUST TRUST TRUST. When you feel you can't trust anymore there will be more trust-filled within you to go on-go forth & bring Me to the people-I am sending them to you & you are touching their hearts-even when you least expect it-it is there-do not doubt do not doubt you heard the music today-before you even saw the picture-that is not coincidence that is divine timing. Soon & very soon you will see the King-you will worship the King in the presence of the King. Take My joy, peace, love to the lost & lonely."

As I am reading and writing this in the blog I am filled with heat all around me. So much so I feel this heat that after I publish this I need to go outside to catch the coolness of the evening.

Went On An Early Morning Mission. So Happy I Found 2 Rosebuds In My Car That I Picked Yesterday Before My Outing.

I got in my car because I was on a 2 part mission this morning. To look for brisket of beef and to search out & pray for the church location I mentioned earlier today. I found a brisket of beef but I had the butcher cut off a lot of the fat even though I knew it would not reduce the price of the cut of meat. I think I will be able to cut 3 portions of this meat for 3 different roasts. I do not grill or smoke my brisket. I cook it slow and at a low temperature in the oven. I season it first then brown all sides. Then I use Lipton's beef onion soup. I also shred a carrot or two in the broth. I then add sliced carrots later on to cook in the juice. If you add the shredded carrots then you do not need to make a gravy for it is a natural gravy. Does that make sense?

I think I found the general vicinity of the church gathering. Did not actually go on the site location. I felt led to go down a side street and pray for them. I did and back home I went after a stop to return an item @ Aldi's. I do not recommend their brand of instant oatmeal, the apple cinnamon one. It tastes nothing like Quaker brand oatmeal in the same flavor. When I returned it I was told a lot of people return it saying the same thing about that particular flavor. Isn't that interesting?

Let me share the main purposes of the Lean Six Sigma if I may. It deals with reducing waste; improving speed times; and improves operating costs. It is a good program and I recommend it. I just added the other 2 rosebuds to the others, lets see if they will bloom after being in the car overnight.

I Received This Periodical In The Mail A Few Weeks Ago. I Think It Is Worthy Of Sharing An Article In It With You.

 Here it is. It comes from Jimmy Swaggart Ministry, "The Evangelist" magazine.

Maybe I Am Supposed To Pray For Ohio & New Mexico. That Thought Came To Me As I Was Heading Home From Franklin?

 I was up early today and actually slept in my bedroom last night and not the guest bedroom. I really do like the choice as to where to sleep at night, it breaks up monotony. I enjoyed breakfast and prayer time on the patio and then off to Franklin for a few hours. I was in search of peppermint oil. From what I understand peppermint oil deters millipedes that come on the porch patio. They are annoying to me so I am a person that seeks out solutions. I am on the highway and was going to go to Bargain Hunt 1st then Holy Spirit suggested the Farmer's  Market. I went and did not find the oil but found zephyr squash and 1 sweet banana pepper from a local farmer. I asked him if he prayed over the seeds when he plants and he told me he prays a lot. I then thanked him for my holy squash and holy pepper.

Next stop to a spice store in the downtown area. No parking spots so I just drove past it. I think I would have liked that store. One of the local radio personalities talks about it on the radio. He says if you mention his name that they give you a gift. Next stop, Whole Foods to get fresh eucalyptus to mix with the fresh flowers I got last night at church. I also picked up the peppermint oil there too. Next stop Tuesday Morning. I saw the last time I was there the Paramount Coffee brand I like. They still had some (at a clearance price point too) so I got it along with a clearance priced can of Peterson's Nuts from Ohio. Next door is Sprouts Market, I just had to get some mint malted milk balls. Guess what? They are no longer pre-bagged for you, you can actually scoop out what you want to purchase again.

Then Bargain Hunt, they had 50% off clearance so I picked up a heated throw. If I want it for work or to keep at home or both. I also like to get Quaker Oatmeal packets there too for only $1.25 for a box. Does this sound interesting Coconut & Caramel flavor. I also stopped @ Aldi's. It was time to replace my smaller sized eagle wind chime. I never really liked the dark looking eyes it had. I replaced it with a green bird wind chime. While there I did see some fragrant wax melts and I have bought this brand before. I actually have the lemon scent in the wax melt burner now. Time for a change, I purchased the trio of strawberry, pineapple and peach mango. Little things in life truly do make me happy. I am looking forward to watching President Trump on tv this late afternoon. His energy, innovative way of thinking success, along with his genuine concern/love for our country and our safe well being touch my heart. 

I do not put my trust in a man per say to run our country. I put my trust in God that a God fearing man that follows his gut instinct along with Holy Spirit lead will guide us back to a great nation once again. President Trump know that America truly appreciated how you looked out for us and our safety & well being. May God's choicest of choice blessing be with you and your family.

Did I mention it is such a lovely day here in TN weather wise. White puffy clouds in the sky, a gentle breeze and no high temperatures either. Simply a lovely day to enjoy. I think I will walk after President Trump's rally. It is too lovely to sit inside.

The Dining Room Table Was Picked Up By AmVets Yesterday. 1 More Item Left To Get Rid Of That I Keep @ Work. A Throw Type Of Throw When It Gets Chilly.

Well, I no longer have a dining room table and that is ok with me. I trust Holy Spirit when He shows me to get rid of certain items. That is who I am and He is a great part of my life. I have a question for the Bishops of the Catholic Church and their recent decision in regard to communion. So, you feel there is no need to refuse communion to a Catholic that defends or votes for abortions? Wow!!! I was raised a Catholic and even though I am no longer a practicing Catholic I have sense enough to not receive communion if I happen to be at a Catholic mass somewhere because I am not a practicing Catholic. I know the rules of the church well enough to know I cannot and should not receive communion during the mass since I am not a practicing Catholic. It is a nice gesture to receive a blessing if you do not receive communion. They have you walk up and then place your arms a certain way across your chest area to let the eucharistic minister/priest know you are not receiving communion but will accept the blessing. Even at that, If I do not know the person administering the blessing I am still cautious. I am cautious to whom I allow to place hands upon me to pray for me.

So, if I may ask this simple question of the Bishops ... did you invite Jesus into that meeting and find out what He thinks about abortion? What about administering His body & blood to those that may mock Him in the respect of voting for/supporting abortions. The children being murdered by abortions. Tiny lives that you are snuffing away their chance to be born and fulfill what God created them to be in their very life. I cannot judge the intent of a person and their walk with Jesus. Let me paint this picture for you ... if it were Jesus Himself serving the communion to you at the altar directly would you accept it knowing you somehow support the killing of innocent children? Just a thought I am putting out there for you to think about. Is anyone so powerful or arrogant in thinking they are that powerful to make rules for themselves and other people have to walk by another set of rules? Sure does not seem fair to me.

I remember way back when that my mother could not receive communion years ago because she was divorced. What happened to the looseness of rules to allow people including politicians that support abortion to receive communion. Maybe the next time you gather as Bishops you would consider inviting Jesus into your meeting and see what He says about the matter in the bible. I submit this as a former devoted Catholic deep in thought today. I actually pulled out my Catholic bible recently and read some of the insights I wrote in the margins as Holy Spirit would give me insights. I remember the time when He revealed to me there was no purgatory. When you die there are only 2 places you will live for all eternity: heaven or hell. Which will you choose, the choice is truly yours. Oh, you have to make this decision before you draw your last breath for it is too late after you die. There is no purgatory in which people can pray you into heaven after you die. I received the purgatory revelation 5/7/97 while reading my Catholic edition bible, imagine that.

Do A Search For Katie Spotz Ultra Marathon, It Will Richly Bless You. Inspire You & Even Cause You To Donate Too. Not All Donations Have To Always Be To Church Things Right.

I know her family and have been friends of her parents for many years now. So much so that when her mom happens to mention her daughters latest accomplishment it is in casual conversation. Not in a bragging way. I happened to catch her the other day as she was gathering items to take with her to greet her daughter at the end of her latest accomplishment. I was amazed at the fortitude and drive this young woman has, done in excellence too.

When her mom and I get together across the miles via phone we usually laugh about silly things and not too much share about our children's accomplishments unless it happens to enter our conversation. She is a true friend throughout the years. I often tell her that her husband and she raised this beautiful daughter in a right manner and it amazes me each time Katie takes on another feat and conquers it and also raises money for clean drinking water. Listen to this story it will encourage you. Her mom shared with me how when Katie was the youngest woman to row the Atlantic Ocean solo that on a day when she needed encouragement a group of dolphins began to swim around her. See, a mom that is in tune with her children will all of the sudden get a great idea to bless their child. So, she got I think it was dolphin balloons and hung them in trees in a city on the route Katie is running to remind her child that the dolphins are around her to encourage her to keep going on her journey. The run will be completed today as she ran across Ohio with running 31 miles each day. She will break a Guinness World Record when she accomplishes this today early this evening. The last record was for 10 days of ultra marathons and she will have completed 11 days of ultra marathons. Bravo Katie Spotz. Oh did I tell you she is also a member of the US Coast Guard. Too bad President Trump was still not the acting president of the USA for I just know he would have reached out to her as her Commander in Chief to celebrate the quality of a person serving in our armed forces do you agree. President Trump please run for President of the United States again we truly need your compassion, dedication and sharing the love you have for our great country. You will not let us be in harms way and you will do what you can to keep us safe and protected, you always did and I just know you will again do so. Thank you President Trump for your beautiful service you so graciously gave to our country. Land of the free, home of the brave.

I was walking the other day and captured 2 short videos. I found it fascinating that a turtle looked like it was resting in the water. I find it also fascinating that the water does not look murky this time of the year and that it was clear to see through when you looked at it. The second video was of a baby deer that another walker was telling me she thinks it lost its mother because she saw it twice looking for the mom. We both agreed that it is just a shame that they cut down the trees in this beautiful wooded area to build dwelling places. Man's greed at times robs nature of its dwelling place, just a thought. I trust you dwell in the secret hiding place with Holy Spirit. The safest and best place to be wherever you reside in the natural world.

My hero in the faith is Marybeth, the mom behind her daughter, Katie Spotz. I salute you dear, dear friend of mine and my family. Blessings to you always and forever.

Just so you know, I do not suggest to you things I do not follow through with myself. I made a donation to this cause to give others clean drinking water. Watch God bless this maybe even so more then when I make church type of donations.
