Matthew 13:31-35 ~ in parables

Matthew 13:31-35

He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

33 He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.”

34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. 35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet:

“I will open my mouth in parables;
I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”


137 Times


If you'd arrived on earth as the Word of God incarnate, to put forth a new Heaven and a new earth with a New Covenant, you might mention Heaven a few times - like 137 times - in the four Gospels. Parables of Heaven. And glimpses. Sheol is mentioned Sixty three times in all of the Bible, but Sheol was considered to be a place of the dead. Lucifer dwelled there and had conversation with God, in Job. Until Jesus, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven." No more, Jesus has conquered death.

Luke 10:18
And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."

Jesus saw a new Heaven forming and told us this is the Kingdom where wheat and chaff are separated. A Kingdom where Jesus sets out to save the World. 

 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn. Or. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good [fish] into containers but threw away the bad.

All the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. Inclusion. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 


Jesus also is telling us, in belief, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand - now in you, in your life. 

Till All leavened - an easy Transformation - changing, changing, bubbling up and ...Over!!!!!

Starting out carefully measured, a bit dry.

Looking at just a small amount

Starting to froth up - something to get excited about.

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

Leaven can't hold back, the transformation is complete!

John 6:35 
Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life"



Jesus starts out in Matthew 3 saying:

Matthew 3:2
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”


Isaih 56
Thus says the Lord:
“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
for soon my salvation will come,
and my righteousness be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man who does this,
and the son of man who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it,
and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

3 Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely separate me from his people”;
and let not the eunuch say,
“Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
5 I will give in my house and within my walls
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off.

6 “And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,
and holds fast my covenant—
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer;
their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house shall be called a house of prayer
for all peoples.”
8 The Lord God,
who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares,
“I will gather yet others to him
besides those already gathered.”




And from what Jesus is telling us - this is worth the repentance to be part of what Jesus gives. Rejoice and be glad - this is the reward of Heaven. 

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it."

Mattew 5:20 says the righteousness of Heaven far exceeds the religious trappings of earth. Heaven is where the total will of God is accomplished, for those working towards His Will on earth.

Jesus went on to say in Matthew 8, more about inclusion.
Many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 


I long and hope, want, to be in that number! Knowing my salvation in Jesus is secure.

Remember the wedding guests. From all corners of God's far flung earth 

- rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ And gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.

And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand. ’Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. This is a free will gift of God.

If you were given 
the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven 

- what would you give unhindered - Joy perhaps? Usually His will is. Using the talents He gave us to show us How Wide, How High, How Deep is His Steadfast Love to those He has chosen. 

Give justice, with mercy, walk humbly with the Lord.

Matthew 18:4
Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Having mercy on your fellow sojourners, as He had mercy on you. Remembering ~

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Surely we are the people, and wisdom will die with us - but few men want to be compared to unprepared virgins at the harvest.

The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Father God be with us in our travels. And as we are never far from You let us lean upon You for your Path taking us where You protect, guide, lead, encourage, teach and dwell. We ask for this for those we love. In Jesus. Amen.

Acts 22 ~ Wash away your sins, calling on His Name

Acts 22

 “Brothers and fathers, hear the defense that I now make before you.”

2 And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew language, they became even more quiet. And he said:

3 “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as all of you are this day. 

4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women, 5 as the high priest and the whole council of elders can bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brothers, and I journeyed toward Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.

6 “As I was on my way and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone around me. 7 And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ 

8 And I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ 

And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’ 

9 Now those who were with me saw the light but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me. 

10 And I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ 

And the Lord said to me, ‘Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.’

 11 And since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus.

12 “And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there, 13 came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And at that very hour I received my sight and saw him. 1

4 And he said, ‘The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Righteous One and to hear a voice from his mouth; 15 for you will be a witness for him to everyone of what you have seen and heard. 16 And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’

17 “When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance 18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’ 

19 And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you. 20 And when the blood of Stephen your witness was being shed, I myself was standing by and approving and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’ 

21 And he said to me, ‘Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

22 Up to this word they listened to him. Then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live.” 23 And as they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air, 24 the tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, saying that he should be examined by flogging, to find out why they were shouting against him like this. 

25 But when they had stretched him out for the whips, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it lawful for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?” 

26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and said to him, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.” 

27 So the tribune came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” 

And he said, “Yes.” 

28 The tribune answered, “I bought this citizenship for a large sum.” 

Paul said, “But I am a citizen by birth.” 29 So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him immediately, and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him.

30 But on the next day, desiring to know the real reason why he was being accused by the Jews, he unbound him and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them.

Don't we all listen much better when someone is speaking our language. Paul has a can do attitude. He was willing to pull out his ivy league education. Give the gold card of being educated at the feet of Gamaliel.

Paul heard Jesus speak to him, and Jesus saved Paul. Ananias Jesus told to bring Paul the Light of Christ. Then Paul heard the Word of forgiveness. And Paul was granted a Way forward. God was speaking just as Paul needed the next step. We can do that - to rely upon Father God for the next step.

(Gamaliel was an interesting educator. He held sway with the Religious council. Saying that if they tampered with the apostles' message - they might be taking on God's will and by extrapolation, His wrath.)

Then Paul went on to say, God loves everyone. Not a popular message at that time. Today the unpopular message would be - God loves holiness. Without Jesus Christ - no one can attain that or claim that. Only in faith can we truly attain God's righteousness in Jesus.  So many times we should listen to His word and we feel we can skate by. When we skate by, we do that under our own power.

We go forth with purpose in hope on His Love.

One of my favorite things to say is life leaks like an old wooden row boat. If we put all our efforts in our own direction, that part starts to leak. A youth pastor said that he attended a day planner - saying we can plan all we want -  it is up to God to bring that plan forth. People around us have needs we are unaware of. The event said - put your prayer out for God to direct you. Then we are sustained in our efforts instead of burned out.

Proverbs 27:1
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

Paul was not rigid and uptight. He understood with a heart of love for his listeners. His message was Jesus as Love. Not their plans. God's.

Father God,

May Your deeds be shown to your people, Your splendor to their children.

May Your favor rest on us; establish the work of our hands for You — yes, establish the work of our hands.

Help us do Your Will with joy and verve. We ask this for ourselves and our loved ones. Help our Church Family, co-workers, friends and Nation to joyfully serve and please Jesus. Amen.

1 Corinthians 13 ~ Love never ends

1 Corinthians 13

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love

When we fully know Jesus - we know the greatest of all hopes - He is Love.


Jesus is beyond what men say and further than what the Angels themselves have to say. Jesus is Love.

The Word of God manifest and laughing with delight with Father God as Creation was Spoken. Jesus the Christ was there to see prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, mountains moved.


To be grace and truth.

God's Only Son, The Word of God 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.


Jesus gave away all He had, and He delivered up His body to be destroyed - for Love. To gain you, to gain me, to gain Heaven.


With us, Jesus is patient and kind. Jesus is love and does not envy or boast. Jesus is not arrogant or rude. Jesus as Father God, with the Prodigal son - does not insist on His own way; He is not irritable or resentful.

Jesus the Lord God, Christ does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Jesus did not come to condemn the world, but to save the world.

Love never ends.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; 
but the greatest of these is love.






In Christ Jesus you are all sons and daughters of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And in Christ’s love, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.




We are under obligation to have a response to the Love God has for us.


The Holy Spirit who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.


We shall not make Jesus Christ and His glory - as nothing. We will not count our comforts by treating His body to be burned and not to love, then we gain nothing.


No one has ever seen God, yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Jesus loving us as Father God.

The one who looks at Jesus, is seeing the One who sent our Jesus.
Anyone who has seen our Jesus, has seen Father God.


Now may Father God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. We pray this upon the ones we Love, our Church family, our co-workers, our neighbors and our Nation. In Jesus the Lord! Amen!

Romans 3 ~ To show His Righteousness at the present time, so that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Romans 3

   Prophecy and what is Prophetic? Scripture repeats the same event or same teaching - and  this explains Prophecy. Prophetic gifts are to encourage Believers, The Church as the Body of Christ - to fulfill His Plans for our gifts and talents He readily encourages us as our Father God. Saying in Glory ~ Jesus will return. He Lives! Hope in Jesus!




What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 2 Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been 
entrusted with 
the very words of God.

John 6:68
Simon Peter answered Jesus, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life"






3 What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness? 4 Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. 

As it is written:
“So that you may be proved right when you speak
and prevail when you judge.”

Hebrews 13:20-21
Jesus our Lord,  equip you
in every good thing to do His will,
working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.








5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?” 8 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is just!


9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 

10 As it is written:

“There is no one righteous, not even one!"


11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.

12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, 
so that every mouth may be silenced 
and the whole world held accountable to God.

Philippians 2:10-11:
So that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, 
of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, 
to the glory of God the Father.

    We will all go to the Father. We will not all - stay. The Grace of God is working out our "personal" salvation with fear of the Power of God and Scripture. God's Love assures us fear is just the beginning of wisdom in relationship of God's Steadfast and Amazing Love.




20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight 
by the works of the law; rather, 
through the law we become conscious of our sin.


Luke 18
11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 

13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”





21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. 
There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 
24 and all are justified 
freely by his grace 
through the redemption 
that came by Christ Jesus. 

 Romans 10:8-11
What does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” 
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 

For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”

  + We forget the first requirement of Romans 10 telling us of Salvation. God says know the Word of God. And what is the "Word of God?" Yes, Scripture - however Jesus is the Living Word of God. God's Word created Jesus in Creation. Jesus Lives Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. John, who walked with Jesus said, "We show we Love Jesus by Living His Words."

25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, 
through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith.

He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, 
because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.



Father God wrote this 2 Millenniums ago to talk about the following:

What is Suffering?

Solomon wrote that life rains on the just and the unjust.

Father God is saying "If I Give you - My Son - what will you work towards with the gift of life. Life is a test."

Jesus Christ died horribly to save me. And you. Show Father God with our lives - Jesus' sacrifice is not without appreciation.Show Father God with our lives - our souls in Heaven are a good thing for His invitation for eternity. 

This also says Father God will never send a plague to sweep up only the damned. Life is created for us to show Father God what we are made of. Draw close to God.



27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 2
8 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 

30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

Psalm 96

1 Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

The Goodness of God is to be Expected.


4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens!

Ephesians 4 tells us Father God fills the Heavens of the Universe.

6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and glory are in his sanctuary.

Revelations tells us even of the Throne of Father God in Heaven.


7 Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

Ephesians 3 tells us Families are named by God in our very birth and Families Live with God in Eternity.

8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come into his courts.

Jesus Christ The Righteous!

9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth.

John visited Heaven and saw the Glory of God, just like Isaiah, and was overcome until Father God sent Comfort. He calls His Holy Spirit, "The Comforter."


10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”
The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow - Father God calls His earth - His fullness and calls His Creation - Good. Give Thanks. This is the only gift that He has not given us - first.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad!
let the sea resound, and all that is in it!

12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy!

13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
he comes to judge the earth!
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples in his faithfulness!

Spread the Good News - Father God wants to save the World. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

In Jesus, we lift up our loved ones, our Nation and our cares, Father God says He Will Care for Us. Alleluia. Amen.

Psalm 130 ~ With the Lord is unfailing Love and with Him is full redemption

Video is Well Worth Watching!

1 Corinthians 10

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
for through Him God created everything
in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
Everything was created through Him and for Him.

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
2 Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.

3 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?

4 But with you there is forgiveness.

So that we can, with reverence, serve you.
5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.

6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.

8 He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.



Matthew 9:5-7

  "Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, and walk'? 

  "But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins "-- then He said to the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your bed and go home."


And he got up and went home.

John 17:6-26 ~ That I Myself may be in them.

John 17:6-26

“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. 

They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. 

Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.


13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.


20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

The GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ - God wants to save Me. Eternally! You? Wellll... if you believe in Jesus and act as that fact! You are Invited!

Yesterday - I had a Splendid Day - almost everything that happened was Golden. Surrrrrrfing Liiiiiife. Ohhhh yeah. I felt a ray of Golden Light in me. Prayers were answered -Wow!

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away!





Now it looks as though they're here to stay
oh, I believe in yesterday - - -

Today I was at Starbucks, and the man next to me stopped in front of me, saying, "Only thing in the News that was Good  - was the Sports Page." The other man made a noise of agreement.



Today - well I dealt with being on the phone to insurance for a Long Time and had two representatives sound like they cared and I was polite - they pretended to hand me to a "specialist" and instead placed me into the bottom of the hold line having to explain my name, policy number and situation again. Three times. Taking to the billing office at the Doctor's to three representatives. Billing accurately? More surgeries?

Talking to my husband with a terminal diagnosis - ended with me in tears for 30 minutes.

Hearing a cousin is in a life threatening situation. Then crying for this and 30 minutes over the billing and being pushed to the bottom of the phone line by "paid representatives" of my insurance.

Having an accounting error in our billing. Wondering why this repeats in the middle of death.

What are we to do with the crisis Allll over the News?

We are going to realize BAD NEWS sells MORE!!! It creates MORE Stir.

Instead, we can look at solutions on google for any problem we have. We can focus on prayer and what we expect the Goodness of a Loving Father to provide - in our individual lives.

God created you as Your Father. He never expected you to be St Matthew, or Matthew to be Mark or Luke or John. You have an idea for your own solutions in prayer. Your gifts and talents lean upon God to grow you. In plants - fertilizer smells provide reasons to grow and lean away from the smell.

We are a Nation filled with genius people. Now, currently, we are a Nation worrying if we don't Do Something Today - Immediately - we won't have something for tomorrow. As if we work efficiently - there is no reward - it hits us in both directions. Lack of faith.

Look at problems with a different direction. 
A spot on a shirt won't come out - the spot has to be treated inside the shirt as well.
 A praying mother told me almost all her prayers were answered because as she prays for the ones she loves - she calls up God and her love and their love. Usually, she says, joy comes in the morning.





Do you buy it in the Presidential Election that taxes will be reformed? Why do you want to vote for that person saying phony things?

Do you think we should Police the World in War? Are you voting for more war? Are you happy with Police Armament as a result of excessive equipment?

Do you see someone with a plan? FOR LIFE IMPROVEMENTS? Affordable education improves your life! The US Economy did best when we were building the infrastructure. Is this Biblical? You bet, framework for the rules leads to the best opportunity for happiness, security and joy. That is called the 10 Commandments.



If we don't like the news - we need to upbuild our families and our lives - with interests building us up. Look at a spot from a new direction with prayer. Expectation of Faith, Hope and Love. More blessed to give than receive.

A) Orange. Orange you glad - the Same God who upheld us when our Day was Golden - WILL - Uphold us when the day is - less than - favorable. If we ask Him. Nicely.

B) Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away!
Now it looks as though they're here to stay (Jesus)
oh, I believe in yesterday - - - Biblically. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow -

C) We have not come this far - to be dropped on our head.

D) If we are a Nation who really want to bring something good to our children - we will do far better bringing them to know God and creating standards and communication to build us all up.



Father God, this isn't fixed by throwing money at problems. Solutions arrive when we speak the truth with mercy and respect. Help us open our Hands to You in Prayer. Each day to do the best You'd equip us to do. In Jesus the Lord. Amen.
