Psalm 91:5 ~ Day

Psalm 91:5

You will not fear the terror of the night, 

nor the arrow that flies by day

Sign for the Second Temple.

If we could all take a poll of the details of our dreams of Heaven. Then we'd have an established record. If we could record the miracles we've had. A Communion of Saints. The Catholic Church has kept records of documented miracles. Records of saints. Records of the Eucharist changing into the Body of Christ. We saw these astonishing Papyrus and jaw-dropping Vatican treasures when we toured Houston's Museum of Natural Science Hosting the Dead Sea Scrolls and Artifacts from the Vatican (c 2001) . The Host is always of the Blood Type AB.




Going back to the idea of our dreams of Heaven. I had a dream in 1994 my Great-Aunt Clarice had died and she was screaming and yelling with extremely, extremely loud joy - telling me outside the Walls of Heaven, "All of His Promises are True!" And as I woke up the next morning, I found the dream was true. Our phone rang and I said, "Yes, I know Aunt Clarice passed on, let me tell you what I saw:"

The area outside of the walls was like the early summer photos we see of Israel.  A more gray chromium oxide green. When I saw Capernaum photos, I remembered walking up the long hill.  Not brilliantly green. Why? You are not in Heaven yet. Outside of Heaven. Coming out of a Valley, (Valley of Decision?) The size - walk uphill to an amazing wall similar in size to the Great Wall of China.

Like Nazareth - the walls of Heaven have a view.

You will see sheep and occasionally a deer. Most eyes are on the Walls of Heaven. Are there Twelve Gates? I didn't see them, clearly - of course, yes. Heaven is an actual and very real place.


Is there water, yes.  A stream comes down like streams come off hills. Was there a city - no. The Sky was very blue and cloudless (like the photo above) although clouds are said to be in Heaven in the Scriptures.

My dream was this clear.

These are photos of the Temple walls in Jerusalem. Heaven is much, much more placed up high on a hill.


The outside of Heaven is not verdant green as Heaven's side is.

When you look at the color of the Temple and the fact the stones differ in age and location taken - they vary. The Stones of Heaven are more yesterday, today and tomorrow perfect. The stones are not white like the photos of the Temple in arid Israel. They are more the exact color of the sign. The stones are yellow and they are beige and they are slightly orange. They gleam with, probably, Happiness.

Heaven's Walls, the Walls of the Kingdom of Heaven do not look old. They have never seen war. There is no need for patina. They appear to be far larger stones than the Wailing Wall. Much more perfectly sized and placed.


Unlike the photo drawing of the actual Temple - when you look at the Walls of God's Kingdom - you are looking far up.

Let me assure you, it was a blue regular sky and not purple. But there is something in the gleam of the wall reacting with my heart to the drawing.

What I did not see in this dream - Jesus Christ Lord God. I've had dreams I have been in the Lap of God's Son and I saw us from 500 or 300 feet away. In this dream, Aunt Clarice assured me He was right behind me and part of our conversation. I surely believe her.

I did not see any stained glass. I saw the Wall of a City where you'd walk to find God's Home. I felt a place where I finally understood why Cathedrals are built. God is God of All Things. God is God of all cities. God is God of all rural. God is God who would easily fill a Cathedral. God has an actual Throne and an actual Home. When we learn Gabriel stands in the presence of God, we are hearing of God's Home, God's Throne, God's hallway, God's garden, God's City all of God's Kingdom.

Why didn't I see Jesus this time? His Plan, His Purpose. My guess would be Revelation 1 - The Light of Jesus shining from our Jesus.

This a City where you would walk right in. No one would ask for any documentation. Twelve Gates are open and each one has a Giant Pearl. Did I see this? No. I felt this. You are Welcome Here. You are Home.

Abba, Abba, Abba,

And once more, Isaiah says: “The root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”

Now may our Father God of hope fill us with all joy and peace as we live, move and have our being believing in Him

Overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit


The LORD bless you and keep you
The LORD make his face to shine upon you
and be gracious to you

The LORD lift up his countenance and smile upon you and give you peace.

We ask to put the Name of Jesus upon us and bless us.

Bless the Beloved of God and our Nation Trusting in You.
Bless the Nations Trusting in You.

We ask for more Heaven on earth. Upon us and our children and children's children.
Cover us with God's Name of Love Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hebrews 4:12 ~ attitudes

Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)

12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.


We have had the privilege of going all over Texas this unusually wet October. We spent time in beautiful Tyler, Texas for an A Tier D G Tournament. Due to Bronchitis, Edward didn't play as well as he likes and I had fever for a few days. We are still Whooping.

This month, our family of 3 (Cal is doing great on the Dean's List of Michigan State in Law School) went to eat Breakfast. Edward, Alexander and I were treated to seeing a Texan who has been voted in and working in the United States Congress for some time. He was meeting a friend and talking to people as they walked by standing next to some great Gelato. We went ahead and sat on the patio. Finally a Beautiful October day. The patio wasn't crowded at all. Soon Texas' own USA Congress Official sat down with his friend at the table right next to us. I proceeded not to drop my spoon, but to listen with all diligence and interest.

(I was once so nice to Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson in Dillard's not to bother her, but to appreciate seeing her. We've all had different life experiences; we lived in Nice, France and lived near enough to Danny Kaye, in his Italian home, so that my father set guidelines for meeting the famous. Danny Kaye was to be nodded at, but he was always mobbed and my father said the man had earned his privacy. Our Episcopalian Priest one summer was Frank Griswold who became 25th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church from 1998-2006. He gave a marvelous Sermon on Always Tell and Always Tell the Truth. It was a very remarkable sermon and my family lived this. We met good friends in Nice who lived in a Garden apartment with private gardens and got locked in the garden, by our friend on accident - running to the store to get food for us all. We were let out by David Niven. And later in Dallas, our every Sunday pew friends in Church were Governor Bill and Rita Clemmons at St. Michaels and All Angels. My mother worked for Ebby Halliday for 31 years so we have some ease meeting the famous and being polite to proceed or to nod.)

And as the conversation at two tables proceeded - I heard this Good News. The United States is interested in the safety and well being of the citizens. The Law applies to all. (I'd add in, even Martha Stewart.) The Government is dedicated to helping those living in fear, which was not witnessed often, Thank God, but free of tyranny. Some situations are hard to prove or even clearly proceed. This is not a bother to the Federal Government where all situations are easily cleared up and with ease. In fact, if a murder were to occur, those practicing tyranny would surely spend time in prison. There will always be willing ears and eyes to see fear or tyranny removed.

I know this to be is very, very Good News.

Let's discuss some examples of this using Historical Analogy.

God told us we would have Remnants who survive great wars.
Today we often speak of Post Traumatic Stress, but do we see this in the Bible?

Let's say there was a very good looking man and he arrived in a Nazi House of Works and Improvement. Being sized up, this man was moved where the officials would have him meet and greet. He would be used in Service. The chances of survival are great. In fact, just being inside - where the elements of coldness and harsh conditions are removed - greatly improves survival. But if you are to ensure your survival, you eat the same food, you have opinions on what is safe - like food. However once you have had the food conversations, you need to approve of the methods you have seen around you. This is how tyranny Officials maintain order. And because we all want to survive and prosper, really the Officials now want to ensure your survival in the regime, you'd be encouraged to practice methods of tyranny and cruelty.

The problem is as old as the Greek Empire. The lure of sadism. In fact, families would scream and yell themselves purple in the face to bring back the soul - to revive the soul to remember what is the path of Life.

Who faced this?
Belteshazzar. Belteshazzar was given knowledge, education, the best foods and named after foreign gods. We call this Belteshazzar Daniel and his story begins in the Book of Daniel - Belteshazzar, Daniel 2:26. What Daniel was to learn about - you are truly in service, when the chips are down - the survivor is the King. Even if the King has slipped a cog and thinks he is a wolf. And God would keep him safe even if he were thrown in the den of lions for David's 23 years.

Now - if you were the one put to work in the cold parts of Works and Improvement -
You'd find even Corrie Ten Baum was grateful for the fleas cause flees. In the harsh conditions of fascism - no real freedom - the Cross of Jesus Christ - the part about carry your cross was having the Cross swung at you like a weapon of The Spanish Inquisition.

This was also the way the Japanese retrained people during the war - your flaws are exaggerated or you are placed where you must for survival and then had your existence plucked at like unneeded fingernails. Enemies would tar or burden a victim until the victim was made to look guilty. It would be challenging to see Jesus Christ Himself through all the one opinion and the Law as a weapon. In fact - the terrible tragedy is the separation from God is the purpose. To find goodness unappealing.

Fear is used.
 One of the times our family life has felt fear was in 2014 on I-45 coming home from Dallas, we found the next day, at Porsche of North Houston, our gas line was severed. Knowing fear is something no one ever forgets.

Who would have had this happen to him?
Saul who worked at the Temple. His eyes were opened. He had to flee in a basket. Remember with me, when all of Hebrews 11 is put down and we are asked why we would participate in a Christianity having the history of the Crusades - let's all remember to say Jesus had this Crusade Himself. And so did Paul.

What other methods are used?

Retrain us in the idea of good and evil. Telling of a new liberty and soak us.

Train us to look to the flesh to see flesh instead of the heart. To look at money.

A place is just a place. We can find the Word of God is told to be outdated in a Church. Moral tradition and lack of Love. Told works and see no love. We can be told the Works and Improvements are Just Government and make copies of the White House.

Do not believe the Words of God are laden with hate. To falsely learn the wars of the Bible are for vengeance. To deliberately and/or with ignorance fail understanding survival, Life and goodness are our hope of God Himself. The Straight Path of God. Instead Tyranny has layers of the repeat and repeat and repeat victimization of tyranny. Evil is not very creative.

We escape as we are Atticus Finch standing for Jesus.

• Stand up for Jesus as God's Son.
• God is truly Good
• The Dignity of mankind. The Grace of being part of the Creation of God.
• Believe He desires men to live in harmony following His Laws and Decrees of Just Behavior.
• Have Gratitude - without gratitude we are less and less blessed. 
• Not to think remorse is an emotion and you are redeemed to repeat cruelties without recompense.
• To turn off and not watch what is inappropriate.
• Tell the Truth.

The of Book of Acts is also called the Acts of the Apostles.
This is where our footsteps meet surely goodness and mercy are the footprints I leave.

Every day to make good choices.

Have Real Gratitude for real goodness God has in our lives. Without Gratitude we surely are less blessed and less blessed.

To find God in our lives - not stuck behind The Curtain like the Holy of Holies. Not to smile and agree at wrong.

What is goodness and mercy? For those we love and can give real opinion. Knowing God will help and with good choices evil well perish.

Galatians 6:1
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; 
reprove, rebuke, and exhort, 
with complete patience
and teaching.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.



Abba, our Father

We are told to find the Good in each day. To believe our Blessings Renew. To communicate to make the path better in God's Love, Joy and Peace. Remember the attitudes in all circumstances.

To do the work Father God gives - to Believe God and Jesus His Son. Their Word. When we believe and see the Light of God - we will dwell there.

And with God's Help and for my loved ones, we pray all we pray for honestly and sincerely and ask our Father to bring more Heaven to earth. To help the Nations Trusting in God. The people who work His Purpose.

And have our faith stretch in peace, knowing God is Working.

In Jesus. Amen.

Luke 10:38-42 ~ the good

Bethany is 1.5 miles from Jerusalem, located on a hill SW of Jerusalem

Luke 10:38-42

38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. 

And a woman named Martha  welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called 3 Mary, who 4sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.

 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." 41 But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are 5 anxious and troubled about many things, 

42 but one thing is necessary.  Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."

Jesus is telling us He finds in these women a worthy soul, listening and learning from Jesus. Filled with wonder and love.

We find God has found Mary, Mother of Jesus, (not this Mary) as worthy of Annunciation from an Archangel standing in the Presence of God. (Jesus taught sitting down.) Moses worked with his sister Miriam. The Bible found Deborah worthy of God's placement. Jesus ended His Life on Good Friday finding multitudes of women came to mourn Jesus. Paul found Prisca and her husband Aquila worthy to travel, work and fellowship with.

We know Mary and Martha found Jesus to be God who sits with us. Mary and Martha had dinners for Jesus and spent time with God telling Him when they felt short-changed or sulky. When they felt God had not been present and loyal with their deepest concerns. And these ladies still displayed to God, their faith in His Steadfast Love in eternal fulfillment.

These are not just stories suddenly of women - this is deep relationship we all learn from.

We can trust Jesus with our deepest heart and in times of Life Tragedy - Jesus sees our tears as precious and Jesus would cry as He prays with us.

Our Jesus is Wonderful.

Abba, Father,

Thank You Jesus prays with us with such Love.

Our God is Wonderful. Hearing our concerns and acting. Seeing our hearts.

Lifting up Bronchitis in our home for a month shared one person to the next and a return. We ask the end of Bronchitis. And the return of nights of sleep.

We are praying Peace for us all. For the believers we know pray more Heaven on earth as the earth turns from morning to night.
Praying more Heaven to earth summer's warmth to winter's rest.

Praying Heaven on earth for the paths of families traveling life to the destination of our prodigal to the Father running to greet us. Let our hearts and ways please You. Your Willing Healing. We live and renew on Your Mercy. For the Nations trusting in God. Our Nation and our people and our Church and our communities.

 Peace for the Holidays to be warm and loving ahead with Christmas planning taking the frantic away from Christmas.

Blessings upon You, Father. You provide our Righteousness.

In Jesus. Amen.

Luke 7:47 ~ are forgiven

Luke 7:47

Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”



When I was in High School, I was in a large denomination believing in Jesus Renewal and being Born Again. A very, very both conservative denomination and liberally happy. I was an Episcopalian before the world wide Church of England had lost 50% of all members and the Episcopal Church USA had gone from 13 million to 800 thousand. My step grandfather Rev. Tate Young saw this coming in the 1970's and talked about this while taking his fist and pounding on the Sunday table of roast, "Easy divorce and finding the Bible outdated does the Church in."

During the end of the 1970's, the Church was holding to the Bible at the time and we were having a very robust Youth Program for Renewal with an almost perfect response record. Works of the Holy Spirit are alive. Alive. And in this group we had once a month meetings where we had about 100 and 150 which were miraculous numbers.

That particular Sunday, we had the meeting near a swimming pool. One pretty 17 year old girl, (let me be clear and say this story is not about my life)  I don't remember her name, she was being immersed and prayed for by 75 teenager girls and two adults. She was new and I had not met her. Her Renewal had just completed. This beautiful summer evening started without the boys. A first time we had separated as a whole group. We began as usual by guitar praise music. We sang for probably 15 minutes and she was anointed with oil and prayed over. This young woman was beaming as brightly as the Texas sun. The prayers ended with the announcement the girl had felt comfortable to share she had started of her high school years and had slept - quickly - with 4 men. She wanted as she found God as her Father to feel reborn. This teenager said she didn't want a spiritual or physical connection to the men anymore she asked God to do the impossible to set her free.

She is a New Creature in Jesus Christ.

Now about this time, you might be thinking this is a disaster. Wrong. It was incredibly beautiful.

God saves the world in Jesus Christ and we Believe Him.

My mother found a very casual group of ladies who had all had very traumatic long-marriage divorces. They all divorced in 1981 at about 25 years of marriage and none remarried. These ladies began with 12 women and the men lived about 6 years after the divorces. Traumatic divorce. With Edward being ill, I now wonder if all these men were already losing brain function. But 12 men died within 6 or so years.

And after my father remarried a friend of my mothers of 25 years, we didn't feel his funeral recognized his blood family. Our Episcopal Priest was so good he said let's have a blood family memorial and read the Funeral Rites, we will speak of having lost a husband and father. So we had a second memorial service with a dozen life long friends and family.

I said to my mother, after the small and beautiful service, "Now you are having your divorce end." Father Tom leaned over and said he didn't agree. I said not in fact, she did divorce, but in Spirit the divorce has ended. Father Tom replied he was divorced and he was factual about this. I explained I was speaking of Spirit. Father Tom relented saying ok he saw that, but don't let facts change.

I agree with him then and now. I also Celebrate the end of Divorce for my parents. Speaking of their divorce as factual.

Luke 19:1-10

19 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

When Jesus was discussing the world and the troubles we take on only today's problems. Jesus said life has troubles. What will happen years down the road from being anointed clean?

A desert?
The end of summer?
A new season with new memories to be made?
Ghosts of massive public announcements better left undone?
A New Path of God's?

The answer is the Word of God. The Work of mankind is to believe Jesus sent by Father God.

John 6:29
Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

We have to believe the Miracle of God's Love and Grace.

We have to believe this Love so well to hold it on cloudy days. To live God's ongoing statement Jesus saves us and we honor His Love with our lives.

Philippians 3:12

I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me

Jesus is with me. Jesus is with the communion and community of saints.

Jesus is with us and with our Loved ones.

Jesus covers us with His Name and with His Promises for our prayers.

Jesus gave us the prayer for more Heaven on earth.

Jesus told us to always Pray with Hope. We Will.

We give Thanks for all You have given. We give You thanks for seeing our Nation in these days.

Psalm 147 ~ Hope in His Steadfast Love

Psalm 147

Praise the Lord!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
for it is pleasant, [for He is beautiful] and a song of praise is fitting.
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the outcasts of Israel.

3 He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.

5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure.
6 The Lord lifts up the humble [afflicted];
he casts the wicked to the ground. 

7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
make melody to our God on the lyre!
8 He covers the heavens with clouds;
he prepares rain for the earth;
he makes grass grow on the hills.
9 He gives to the beasts their food,
and to the young ravens that cry.
10 His delight is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,

11 but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,
in those who hope in his steadfast love.

12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!

13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates;
he blesses your children within you.

14 He makes peace in your borders;
he fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends out his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.

16 He gives snow like wool;
he scatters hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs;
who can stand before his cold?

18 He sends out his word, and melts them;
he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.

19 He declares his word to Jacob,
his statutes and rules [just decrees] to Israel.
20 He has not dealt thus with any other nation;
they do not know his rules [just decrees].
Praise the Lord!

On an October night around a fire, when it is still, it's so pleasing to hear the rain noises. God draws us to Him in the still, quiet.

The Lord determines. He is good. He gathers, He heals, He binds up, He gives. He covers. He prepares. He makes. He delights. His pleasure. His Word.

In Him, we live, we move and have our dwelling. In Christ Jesus our Lord.

Edward makes Homesick Texan Potato Chowder for us delighted to have soup for warmth. We are joined by a friend out of the rain. Put the outdoor lights on.

Really, we love these and use 'em up. It sets the tone.

The Wisdom of Father God expands to the universe's creation with His Words. All knowledge and understanding is in our God. He determines the number of the stars; Father God gives to all of them their names.

Father God would far rather have Breakfast on the Beach with His Beloved Children, He has Given us so much than any star He has created.

Ephesians 3

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
from whom every family
in heaven and on earth derives its name.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,
forever and ever! Amen.



Almighty God, Abba, Heavenly Father,

We live in Thee. Rejoicing at the end of fever and illness - even if it Really Hurts to Cough.
Bless us all with the end of the passed around cold and fever for a month.

We put out our hands to do the good works You've already planned for us. Lead us in Your paths; encourage us, let the words of our mouths and the thoughts of our heart be always pleasing to You. Grow the seed of our faith, to become a mighty tree.

Put out Your growing branches, to give us shelter; we will share in Your goodness, fellowship and rest. Give us eyes of faith, to see the hope of Your promises; the eagerness, like a child, to see them brought forth. 

Strengthen our souls, let our lives reflect Your Light and Your Love.

 In the Highest name of Jesus Christ, we pray. 

Amen.

2 Corinthians 9:6-15 ~ God is able to make all grace abound

2 Corinthians 9:6-15

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. 9 As it is written,

“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”

10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.

Today my family of 3, took care of each other. We have had a horrendous cold and fever for about a week. Edward was feverish on Wednesday and I have been feverish since Monday night.

.


Father God,
All glory, honor and comfort are Your's. We give Thanks for Jesus Christ. The unknown, unseen Kingdom He has prepared for us. Your Kingdom we glimpse.

John 14

14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”


Abba, we pray for healing of this fever and illness all 3 of us have. Peace

We know the Way of God. Steadfast Love, Joy, Peace, Encouragement, Forbearance, Mercy, Faith and Hope. This is what we ask Jesus to cover us for in His Name and dwell there. With those we love. Amen.

Luke 5 ~ The Word of God

Previously Posted 6/30/17

Luke 5

5 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on Him - to hear the Word of God,


John 1
To all who did receive Him, who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become Children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, 
but of God.

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His Glory, Glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 

16 For from His fullness we have all received, Grace upon Grace. 
17 For the law was given through Moses;
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 
18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, 
He has made Him known.




Luke 5
He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land.

And Jesus sat down and taught the people from the boat.

4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. 

And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.

So this morning, we were supposed to leave Teton Village very, very early. Our second visit in 17 years. And as the alarm went off, I thought what is that terrible, terrible noise. And we couldn't leave!!! God is Good and we had such fog the parking lot was gone and the Teton Mountains.


Aren't we all fickle people. Flawed. Sinners. All of us. God tells us 11 times in the Creation Events of Genesis the world is "Good." Now, that is a lot of God repetition. And God, even though He is our Father, that is a lot of repetition. Which we all can agree, would be God saying - like the wonderful God Billboards - "That part about Life being 'Good' - I meant that - God"

And so God needs a human being to start the Christian Church of Jesus Christ - God's Only Son - and we find out - the job description is daunting and Simon Peter says he doesn't want the Job. Wow. Wow.

We are fickle, fickle, fickle people. We want 'OUR MIRACLE". But if God is going to do that Loudly. Nevah Mind. Or if God wants us to change something. Nevah mind. Or if that's uncomfortable. Nevah mind.

And how does Our Father handle the human inconsistencies? Like the time Jesus healed the man who had asked for healing for "Thirty - Eight... Years" at the Pool of Bethesda. The man decided, maybe, he liked sitting at the Pool without many requirements. So the man decided to run to the Top of the Temple and Complaint with them about Wretched son of Joseph. Jesus continued to the Town of Bethesda, hometown of Peter and Andrew, and healed a man who was blind by putting mud and living water on his eyes and sending Him to the Pool of Siloam. Sent. Where Jesus sends me, I'm raising my hand to go there.


So - we couldn't leave the hotel this morning. And we 'had' to sit and have breakfast. And fresh fruit. And we had to have cups of coffee. And leave sleeping two hours more and feeling refreshed and amazed at the receding fog. And with the delay, we got to Rocky Mountain National Park at dusk. Awww. We had to see the massive, amazing herds of Elk and Moose gathering to water. We had to see 3 deer almost on our bumper (Thank GOD ). We had to be right up there with 2 Enormous Elk. We got to eat dinner at our favorite Breakfast Place in Denver. And got to our hotel just as the sun sank. A beautiful and perfect blend of receding storm and Light with amazing colors. Perfect timing. Thank You, FATHER GOD!!!






The Plans of God are well made. We all just tend to doubt and fuss and kick up conflict. And believe as dust in the wind - we got it all.


Abba,

You are our destination. You are our source. You are the Green Light of 'Let there be Light.' Your Throne is in Emerald Green Revelation tells us is Your Favorite Color. Your Plans are LIFE. You are THE Hope and the Future. All over the creation You have said 'yesterday, today and tomorrow' are Good.

You are the Good News. You are the God of Encouragement. The God of Love. And you bring us forth, raise us up. Even guys named Peter do "ok" Listening to our Father.

We pray for the end of the fever that started this evening. For Healing and Peace.

Amen Amen Amen and Handel's Alllllellluuuuuuia. Jesus God!!!
