I was exercising last evening and watching the various news clips out there from both trusted and not so trusted news organizations. Each time I viewed them tears welled up in my eyes. Just thinking of how I was seeing a walking, moving miracle story that was appearing right before our very eyes. I saw a man in my opinion that was very touched by the outpouring of the people gathered cheering you on. One day you are fine and the next day you have a bandage over your ear from the attempt made to destroy your life and the lives of your family members. I can only imagine what must be going through the hearts and minds of your family members. I would guess relief that you are alive for them to tell you 1 more day how much they love you and what you mean to them.
So sad that one has to experience such an extreme in their very life. When people do mean spirited and evil works it just does not affect the person the mean, evilness was geared towards. It affects the family, friends, acquaintances for the hatred that spewed forth from someone. Around the world the video and images were seen, and I can only imagine how there needs to be healing from seeing that hatred personified. Lord heal our land and hearts. I am asking you Holy Spirit for true repentance to come forth and if no repentance from the heart I mean, then expose the evidence. I see you so profoundly exposing evidence within the walls of the church and there still needs to be more exposed within the church.
All day Saturday while doing my errands I felt compelled to wear the tee shirt for the 1st time I made which states "JUSTICE FOR JEFF." Not 1 person inquired of me about the tee shirt. It does not matter to me though because there will be ministry type of events coming up in which I will wear this tee shirt. I want to know why the so-called local ministers that were quick to condemn Jeff Jansen (from what I am hearing as I speak with people) did not reach out to the people that walked with Jeff @ his church to hear the other side. My eyes are being opened up pretty wide when they are sharing with me what was going on and how could a true minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ not hear both sides before drawing a conclusion and siding with 1 side over the other baffles me. I truly wish someone like Torn Curtain Ministries or JLR Investigates would look into this so complete closure would take place. When I get a moment, I plan on wearing that very tee shirt to the cemetery and either take a picture or short video clip of me standing in the area as I recall it the day, I heard the cries coming from the grave 3 weeks after he was buried saying JUSTICE JUSTICE JUSTICE. I spoke with someone that actually saw the death certificate and when they shared the cause of death on the certificate, I asked in a questioning attitude how could that be the cause when they were found somehow contrary to what they were sharing with me. There are questions and I sure would like to see someone come and delve into this a bit more. Reason being, a man's good name has been thrown through the mud and even in the bible God knew when Cain killed Abel because his blood was crying out from the ground. The other day I heard a great explanation of what "presumption" means and let's not presume that the full story has been shared so once and for all this could be put to rest. Here is what I wrote down as the local news talk host shared the definition, "The lowest & least reliable form of information." As I read my bible on 7/15/2024 Holy Spirit directed me to read 1John:3 and I then see written to not be like Cain because the works of Cain were evil, and the things Abel did were with God's approval. Strive to do what is good in the eyes of God and then evil will be crushed if good outweighs evil.
Update: When I was speaking with a friend, they reminded me of something important. The day I heard those words call out about justice I knew nothing @ the time about any of the details when I heard the words about the need for justice.
I baked a new recipe the other day and already distributed it to neighbors and I brought some in to work also. You have to like oatmeal, peanut butter, a layer of chocolate made with butter, vanilla, cocoa powder and sweetened condensed milk. You then add to the crust portion after you layer the chocolate portion with, I used Reese peanut butter baking chips, the baking combo of mini Resse cups and pieces and then you take some of the crust dough in which you set aside and place it on top then bake it. It called for a jelly roll pan 15.5x10.5 and do you know hard it was to find a pan with that dimension. I finally found one close to the dimensions at a store and I inquired of the 15x10 dimensions if it would be close enough to bake this recipe in. They thought it would be fine, so I bought the pan. I also saw that someone opened a package of 3 baking cooling racks and took 2 of them out of the package. I also inquired how much it would be to buy the 1 left in the package. From 7.99 to 2.00 so I purchased that also. Because of this kindness shown to me I made up a little goodie bag of the baked item I made in the pan and brought it to the store for the manager to try in gratitude and thanksgiving. Oh, while at the store they had a cart with 75% off Twizzlers candy chocolate flavor. The younger in age clerk and I were talking, and I just cannot put chocolate and Twizzlers together for some reason. She mentioned that she was thinking of buying a package to try them. I asked her to figure out what the cost would be, and I then blessed her because she looked to be either high school or college age and I remember those days when funds could be a little low to buy extra items like that. So, I gave her the cash to make the purchase for them to try it. Sure enough, when I dropped off the baked items I inquired if they knew if she got them and tried them and another person that was working that same day said yes and when the package opened up you could smell the chocolate. She tried it and left some for others in the break room. That is what life is all about. Don't forget those days when money may have been a bit leaner while attending college and bless another as Holy Spirit leads you. Oh, by the way, I was still wearing the tee shirt I made while shopping there also. She did say how she was in college and working while in college. I worked when I was attending college, did you also.
