When I was lonely,
you were but a dream.
Now my dream is no longer.
Neither is my loneliness.
When my heart felt
like it would never love,
you were but a dream
and now my heart is full.
My cup runneth over.
When I was lying in dirt
amongst my pale sisters,
fragile
and breaking like the world,
you were but a dream.
Now a new life blood
runs through my veins.
When all you do is love me,
I dare to turn my barren back to you,
a spiteful eclipse,
leaving you empty
to contend with the ashen lilies.
Forgive me.
Minutes pass like days
and hours do not pass at all.
These little deaths constructed
are slowly yet, quickly~
killing you, killing me.
We begin to fade
and slowly we sink,
like the eyes of a corpse
trapped by coins
longing for the light of day
once more~
to see its beauty.
Stillness gripped a single tear
escaping to cool this tortured place.
Spirit quickening, real love
arousing senses filled,
overflowing.
I was born to love you
led by your passionate soul
naked amongst the sandy beaches
in the night.
Yearning to caress,
become and draw into my soul
all the passion of you until
every fiber brings forth dancing life.
I forever your mate
am seeking and pouring out
my longing song finding you
and holding you
though you are miles from me.
I shall lift my coffee cup
and toast an answer~
your smile.
Permitting the soft breath
left on each others neck
to tide us over~
until I meet you
in the silence of the evening
when we become one.

Blessing our Circumstances in The Garden of Weedin
Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse YOU... If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you, and even if it is troublesome for at a time, it will gradually fade out, if you SINCERELY BLESS IT!
After "accepting " present circumstances, no matter that they are, we MUST learn to "bless them". Right. Are you Kidding me? Bless Misery? Bless Gossip?
Yes, through your gritted teeth if necessary. Usually we don't know why something has occurred and we won't until there is enough distance to take a backward glance. However, blessing whatever vexes us IS THE SPIRITUAL SURRENDER that can "change" even troublesome situations for the better.
Recall Romans 8:28? We know ALL (not "some") things work together for GOOD to them that love God, to them that are called ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.
Blessing the circumstances in our lives also teaches us to trust. Over the years my easiest and most joyous lessons have been learned through blessing. If your sick and tired of life's lessons through pain and struggle, blessing your difficulties will show you there is a better way.
A powerful set of blessing learned from the teachings of Stella Terrill Mann, a minister who wrote during the 1940"s, encourages us to greet the morning with AFFIRMATION "blessed be the morn for me and mine". At noon DECLARE, "Blessed be the day for me and mine," and in the evening INVOKE the prayer: "Blessed be the night for me and mine." As you go about your work cleaning house at home, or in the office, AFFIRM, "My work is a prayer for GOOD for me and mine." These AFFIRMATIONS of GOOD WILL bring many blessings into your daily life, as they have in mine.
Now don't misunderstand me and think this will ward off "troubles". No way...for it is life. But it will bring about the "attitude" of accepting the present circumstance "as is" but possessing the HOPE which will allow you to look beyond it into a better set of circumstances. Blessing a thing keeps you "centered" and still LIVING "in the present moment." Anything else takes us "from the moment" into some other future time. This circumvents the sacredness of now, and we end up "hurrying through the present onward to something else". LIVING (fully aware and on purpose) requires staying "present" with what is.
As I shared with you my readers and my friends yesterday: Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which,more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them.
So start to count your blessings. Start today. No, stop right now at this moment and make a "spiritual inventory" of all your blessings. See if you can get to 10, then see if you can get to 25, no...50! If you dig deep enough, I bet you could find 100 tasty morsels of blessings hiding right there in the acres of your spirit which have become buried under all those "difficult circumstances" you have been more focused on and in effect "watering" by giving them more of your attention.
Today, I pray that each you reading this may let go of the struggle. SHIFT YOUR FOCUS OFF THE TROUBLES. ALLOW the healing process of change to begin. Set "the environment" you live in, as well as your MINDSET to "water" the blessings and pluck the weeds out of your life.
Life is full of choices. As I look out over my flower garden, I am reminded of the saying "As is the Garden so is The Gardener". UM-MM: If I neglect the Garden, the flowers will no longer bloom in all their beauty. By not "SETTING MY INTENTION" in the Garden and "giving attention" to taking care of the Flowers, then WEEDS just find their way in. No, I may not have planted the weeds...but I 'ALLOWED" WHATEVER "winds of adversity" to deposit seeds there. By my OWN neglect of tending to the garden and my flowers, the weeds took root and overtook the Garden.
The same goes with our minds, spirits, and attitudes. The flowers above are merely a representation of blessings, and the weeds are the cursings, trials and troublesome circumstances. The Garden is our minds, our daily living.
God has given each Free-will to chose what they allow to take root in each life. sometimes, by no fault of our own...life take on a life of its own. We become so busy we don't MAKE THE TIME for our own spirits, and souls. I urge you today...count your blessings. Put them on your refrigerator as a reminder. AFFIRM them daily. Before long they seem to vanish. We are no longer living in the Garden of Eden my friends. We now Live in the Garden of Weedin.
The winds of adversity will blow on everyone's BOAT...its how you adjust your SAILS that makes all the difference.
Blessed BE!

Everything Matters: Living a Life of Permanent Purpose
Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which,more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them
With a little perspective you can live a life of permanent purpose.
Do you sometimes find yourself unconsciously judging your actions by level of importance.For instance the time you spend with friends is important, but the time you spend with family, is MORE important. You might rank an hour fishing as very important, thirty minutes visiting a sick friend in the hospital MUCH MORE important than the fishing, and a sixty second conversation with a convenience store clerk as not very important at all.
When you know that EVERYTHING MATTERS -that every move "counts" as much as any other -you will begin living a life of permanent purpose. A life of permanent purpose will make you a better parent, a better spouse, and a more valuable friend.Everything will soar to new heights while the old days of uncertainty, doubt, and depression fade into the past. Now this is the Midas touch and the secret behind it all.
Living YOUR Life Passionately and on purpose.
The gift you have to offer the world...YOU!

Free-will and The Elect and "offices" of God and Satan
God CAN interfere in the lives of The Elect (those whom He chose in the FIRST EARTH AGE( John 1:13) before those souls were "born again (which merely means born FROM ABOVE "in the Greek" (John 3:3) into this SECOND EARTH AGE) and cause THEM to bring about His Will (and this is righteous in doing so as The Elect stood against and ... overcame Satan in the 1st Earth Age. But ALL others are definitely under "free-will" because this whole "age of the Flesh" is a time of "testing" as to whether we will WORSHIP Christ, or Satan.
God can "change minds" to effect His Will and Plan as designed. The reason is God has an Election already "judged" in 1st Earth Age and He can interfere "in their lives" without interfering with"free-will". But we still pay for "sins" in the flesh during this "Age".
Just as there is the Holy Spirit (The Fathers very own "intellect") currently roaming the Earth, there is the equal and OPPOSITE "spirit" Satan's spirit (the opposing evil intellect of Satan). Now what is it that Satan has always wanted ? To BE "God"...this was his "demotion" due to instead of his "office" of protecting the mercy seat...he wanted to SIT ON IT and BE GOD
Currently both "influences/spirits" are free roaming the earth. But Satan is not "just" a "spirit"...he was a created "BEING" perfect and beautiful (Ezekiel 28:13-16) and he (before his fall from grace and being "demoted") ... held a high ranking "OFFICE" with God for The Father which is that of "protecting cherub" ("the cherub that covereth "the mercy seat"). Eze.14 "Thou are the anointed cherub that covereth, AND I HAVE SET YOU AS SO (God speaking). Thous wast perfect in thy ways from the day thou wast CREATED.
Then, his "OFFICE" was "down graded" due to his (pride and thoughts)...
Eze.17: "thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,
thou has corrupted thy WISDOM (this is Rev 12:4 and those THIRD of Gods very own children he pulled away from Him)
by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings.(Now this is Rev 12:7-10)
Also, in Matthew 24 Christ (in the OFFICE of "Savior") physically walking this earth WARNED of this very ABSOLUTE fact of the end-time that it would be like it was in the days of Noah "giving and taking in marriage to THESE SPECIFIC "fallen angels" which are going to be cast out
(of heaven and they have a "soul") to this earth
in "personage" (although not in a natural "flesh" body (as they went AGAINST being "born again" into the flesh being INNOCENT of prior rebellion in 1st earth age), but theirs is a "super-natural mass" not made of flesh). This is John 3:5 (to be born of the water is the embryonic fluid in the mothers womb--ever hear a pregnant woman say "I think my water just broke?"
The fallen angels are cast out to this earth ALONG WITH SATAN "in personage" in his demoted OFFICE of Dragon (ruler of One world) and DECEIVER...The Anti-Christ. This was his "down-graded status". Father knowing Satan always wanted to be "God" actually gives him this "OFFICE" for a very short time in the end (called The Hour of Temptation which is a 5 months time period.
Father allows him to be God (as in his heart he desires) but as ANTI-CHRIST permitted only. This is what this whole "age" boils down to. Will we Love The Father, and worship Him, or will we be "deceived" by Satan when he is booted out VERY SOON to sit in Jerusalem "playacting Christ" and his "OFFICE" as Savior of the world (age).
This is what Christ would have us to understand IF we have eyes to see.
There are 3 ages (dispensations in time) 1st Earth Age(time of rebellion of Rev 12:4), 2nd Earth Age (the age of the flesh and Rev 12:7) and the 3rd Earth Age (aka The Millennium).
We all have 2 bodies: one is a "spiritual body" and one is a "flesh body". (The kernel of corn must go into the ground for new life to spring froth of it)
We are 3 distinct "parts": we have a SOUL which FIRST existed in a spiritual body, (and a SOUL is basically our "self-identity" for a simplification in terms); we possess a SPIRIT (which is the INTELLECT of that "soul"), and we have a body that houses "YOU" (actually two bodies as described above~ the soul needs a "tabernacle").
There are "OFFICES" of God. (The Word was God, God was made flesh)BUT We have ONLY 1 "Father", 1 "Savior", 1 "Word". Yet, we have 3 "offices" of the God Head...in which Christ was one "as SAVIOR". There is ONLY 1 "Begotten Son of The Father).
There are "OFFICES" of Satan. (he WAS "the cherub that covereth), was demoted to "Anti-Christ" to deceive as many as he can in the very near future. There is ONLY one "Son of Perdition" already Judged and actual "sentenced" to the Lake of Fire.
But apart from the "OFFICES" each has a PHYSICAL BODY to go along with it.
With Christ,
He taught, (to those "physically" in His presence 2000+ years ago" and onward to us today by Faith)...
If you have SEEN "The Son", you have SEEN "The Father" for the Father and I are ONE ( meaning an exact carbon image of THAT soul taking on the flesh in the "office" of Savior Christ (The Anointed One sent) to become The Sacrifice one and for ALL. Now this is love, The Father would not ask His Children to take on this painful flesh without doing it Himself.
John 1:14 And The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld His glory, "The Glory" as of the only "begotten" Son of The Father~ full of Grace and Truth.
That "GLORY" is the Shekinah glory which in Hebrew means "God dwells there", "God is present", "God is there". Remember Emmanuel "God with US" means Our Father took on the "Office" of Savior in the "personage" of Jesus Christ to SAVE HIS CHILDREN who will believe. If you have SEEN The son, you've SEEN The Father.
The Spirit of Christ is The Holy Spirit for it is The very own "intellect" of our Father. His Plan of Salvation, His Love for The Children. His "Power".
The Spirit of Satan is The Evil Spirit. The Son of Perdition (Rev. 17) can only come to "power" for one hour (5 months) with the 10 rulers and naturally his "healing of the deadly wound" (of the political system" puts his One World "act" in order.
Which my point is this... he, Satan, must be "present physically~ defacto~ in PERSONAGE on Earth" in his "OFFICE" to DO so (requires action) and he physically makes a great big entrance right at the beginning of it.
A political system does not receive a deadly wound by a sword exactly...but rather a BREAK-UP of nations as far a peace agreements are concerned (and they cry peace peace and there is no peace). This is going to happen very soon.
In summation Ephesians 1:17-20 Hope of The POWER that raised Jesus from the "dead" makes "residence" within us...It is then...we are HOME.
They are forever studying and never coming unto the knowledge of truth.
Anything that imposes a threat to the Republic or The Constitution...STAND!

In Love and Worship: Giving the Gift of Your Attention
The Greatest in the Kingdom
…2And He called a child to Himself and set him before them,3and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.4"Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.…
To a young Child, LOVE is spelled T~I~M~E, and inside all of us is that "inner child" IF we remain connected to all that is truly important in this life...God, Country, Family, and Friends! May you be blessed with tender understanding...
In the faint light of the attic, an old man, tall and stooped, bent his great frame and made his way to a stack of boxes that sat near one of the little half-windows. Brushing aside a wisp of cobwebs, he tilted the top box toward the light and began to carefully lift out one old photograph album after another. Eyes once bright but now dim searched longingly for the source that had drawn him here.
It began with the fond recollection of the love of his life, long gone, and somewhere in these albums was a photo of her he hoped to rediscover. Silent as a mouse, he patiently opened the long buried treasures and soon was lost in a sea of memories. Although his world had not stopped spinning when his wife left it, the past was more alive in his heart than his present aloneness.
Setting aside one of the dusty albums, he pulled from the box what appeared to be a journal from his grown son's childhood. He could not recall ever having seen it before, or that his son had ever kept a journal. Why did Elizabeth always save the children's old junk he wondered, shaking his white head and rolling his eyes?
Opening the time worn and yellowed pages, he glanced over a short reading, and his lips curved in an unconscious smile and a gentle sigh exhaled through his nostrils , shaking his head. Even his eyes brightened as he read the words that spoke clear and sweet to his soul. It was the voice of the little boy who had grown up far too fast in this very house, and whose voice had grown fainter and fainter over the years. In the utter silence of the attic, the words of a guileless six-year-old worked their magic and carried the old man back to a time almost totally forgotten.
Entry after entry stirred a fire and a sentimental hunger in his heart like the longing a gardener feels in the winter for the fragrance of spring flowers. But it was accompanied by the painful memory that his son's SIMPLE recollections of those days were far different from his own. But how different?
Remembering that he had kept a daily journal of his "business activities" and all the "money that had changed hands" over the years, he closed his son's journal and turned to leave, having forgotten the cherished photo that originally triggered his search. Hunched over to keep from bumping his head on the rafters, the old man stepped to the wooden stairway and made his descent, then headed down a carpeted stairway that led to the den.
Opening a glass cabinet door, he reached in and pulled out an old "business journal". Turning, he sat down at his desk and placed the two journals beside each other. At first glance one difference was very evident. His was leather-bound and engraved neatly with his name in gold, while his son's was tattered and the name Jimmy written in crayons had been nearly scuffed from its surface. He ran a long skinny finger over the letters, as though he could RESTORE what had been worn away with time and use.
As he opened his personal "business journal" glancing over his "account" of the many transactions, the old man's eyes fell upon an inscription that stood out because the RECORD was so brief in comparison to other days. In his own neat handwriting were these words:
Wasted the whole day fishing with Jimmy. Didn't catch a thing.
With a deep sigh and a shaking hand, he took Jimmy's journal and found the young boy's entry for the exact same day, June 4th. Large scrawling letters, pressed deeply into the paper, read:
Went fishing with my Dad. Best day of my life.
I am reminded of a poem that I have in the front of a photo album from the years I had with Ryan my foster child blessing. It is called "One hundred years from now".
One hundred years from now
It won't matter
What kind of car I drove
What kind of house I lived in
How much money I had in the bank
Nor what my cloths looked like
BUT
The world may be a little better
Because, I was important
In the life of a child.
In my personal life today, relationships~albeit of the intimate romantic kind, or enduring friendships; I am finding in those too that LOVE is spelled T~I~M~E. The demise of society is adults becoming "enmeshed" in status, identity, and "business" activities almost DRIVEN BY FEAR.
This morning I sat with cup of coffee in hand in the white rocking chair outside watching the morning birds scurrying about, and the baby squirrel now almost a teen, and the delightment of the elderly orange tabby that has taken up home here since my neighbor passed away leaving him homeless nows greets ME each morning as I put a cup of food out for him.
I realized what is different about me now. I courageously asked the question "What am I more curious about than I am afraid of?".In an almost "aha moment", I realized how FEAR AND DOUBT, "together" and "ignored", will DRIVE YOU OUT OF YOUR OWN LIFE. But when we invite "them" into the layered light of awareness, they can't "join FORCES together" and RULE YOU FROM THE SHADOWS.
As I watched the the old orange tabby this morning, I imagined the WARMTH OF COMPASSION sinking into the COLD PLACE where all "fear and confusion" LIVES, as if a wood stove is lit on a frigid hard morning. The warmth from the stove fills the room, "transforming" the cold. EVERYTHING ELSE disappears, including an notion of "identity" or "roles" or "images" of who I'm SUPPOSED to be. There is only the experience of being passionately alive IN CHRIST. To possess "THAT" which sustains you when all else falls away.
In this moment, I am profoundly aware of the depth of the meaning of "worship". To many, images of Sunday mornings and singing songs of praise come to mind. This morning, in the silence, its meaning descended upon my soul..."greatness of character, honor, dignity, "worthiness and value" derived from God. Oftentimes, in being "lost" or "disconnected", we reach OUTSIDE OF OURSELVES to gain "worthiness" and try to fill that EMPTINESS with temporary "things" or "titles" or "honors" and a sense of "business activities" keeping records of "those" accounts...all which are nice but not at the expense of authentic LOVE. In this sense God is Love.
This Love is a brightnessFLOODING outward. What was once a "division" between black or white, right or wrong, evil or righteous, either and or, I now see as a gap waiting to be bridged. I want to KNOW Loves "presence", staying with what is hard until it softens, staying with what is narrow until it expands. I want to know how to float in the silences between my breathing in and exhaling and the thoughts that come in those moments FLEE FROM ACTIVITY. I want to be so comfortable WITH STILLNESS AND SILENCE that I can take "root" in them.
I want to "PURGE The Leaven" of distractions and busyness from my life and I want to MEET My Heavenly Father in that "moment", and to FEEL the accounting of Jimmy : I spent the day with My Dad and it was the BEST DAY of my life.
PEACE. BE STILL. AND KNOW THAT I AM God.
Now begin to SOURCE your life from this 'place". To GAIN your "value" from this...now this is to "worship".
Psalm 131:2
But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.
Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
It's hard to have FAITH in something you are AFRAID of. And The Devil counts on this.
In the faint light of the attic, an old woman, short and stooped, her tiny frame bent made her way to a stack of books that sat near one of the little half-windows. Brushing aside a wisp of cobwebs, she opened one particular book toward the light and began to carefully read. Eyes once bright but now dim searched longingly for The Source that had drawn her here. It began with the fond recollection of a once safe time in her life at the feet of her Grannie and her Grannies' God, long gone and lost somewhere in adulthood and judgment but she hoped to rediscover.
Opening the time worn and yellowed pages, she began to read, and her lips curved in an unconscious smile and a gentle sigh exhaled through her nostrils , shaking her head. Even her eyes brightened as she read the words that spoke clear and sweet to her soul. It was the voice she had almost forgotten, and whose voice had grown fainter and fainter over the years.
Entry after entry stirred a fire and a sentimental hunger in her heart like the longing a gardener feels in the winter for the fragrance of spring flowers. But it was accompanied by the painful memory of those days far different from now. But how different?
In the utter silence of the attic, the words "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever will believe upon Him shall have everlasting life" worked their magic and carried the old woman back to a time almost totally forgotten... a time when she couldn't feel this LOVE, but only CONDEMNATION.
~John 6:35 Jesus wept. ~
…2And He called a child to Himself and set him before them,3and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.4"Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.…
To a young Child, LOVE is spelled T~I~M~E, and inside all of us is that "inner child" IF we remain connected to all that is truly important in this life...God, Country, Family, and Friends! May you be blessed with tender understanding...
In the faint light of the attic, an old man, tall and stooped, bent his great frame and made his way to a stack of boxes that sat near one of the little half-windows. Brushing aside a wisp of cobwebs, he tilted the top box toward the light and began to carefully lift out one old photograph album after another. Eyes once bright but now dim searched longingly for the source that had drawn him here.
It began with the fond recollection of the love of his life, long gone, and somewhere in these albums was a photo of her he hoped to rediscover. Silent as a mouse, he patiently opened the long buried treasures and soon was lost in a sea of memories. Although his world had not stopped spinning when his wife left it, the past was more alive in his heart than his present aloneness.
Setting aside one of the dusty albums, he pulled from the box what appeared to be a journal from his grown son's childhood. He could not recall ever having seen it before, or that his son had ever kept a journal. Why did Elizabeth always save the children's old junk he wondered, shaking his white head and rolling his eyes?
Opening the time worn and yellowed pages, he glanced over a short reading, and his lips curved in an unconscious smile and a gentle sigh exhaled through his nostrils , shaking his head. Even his eyes brightened as he read the words that spoke clear and sweet to his soul. It was the voice of the little boy who had grown up far too fast in this very house, and whose voice had grown fainter and fainter over the years. In the utter silence of the attic, the words of a guileless six-year-old worked their magic and carried the old man back to a time almost totally forgotten.
Entry after entry stirred a fire and a sentimental hunger in his heart like the longing a gardener feels in the winter for the fragrance of spring flowers. But it was accompanied by the painful memory that his son's SIMPLE recollections of those days were far different from his own. But how different?
Remembering that he had kept a daily journal of his "business activities" and all the "money that had changed hands" over the years, he closed his son's journal and turned to leave, having forgotten the cherished photo that originally triggered his search. Hunched over to keep from bumping his head on the rafters, the old man stepped to the wooden stairway and made his descent, then headed down a carpeted stairway that led to the den.
Opening a glass cabinet door, he reached in and pulled out an old "business journal". Turning, he sat down at his desk and placed the two journals beside each other. At first glance one difference was very evident. His was leather-bound and engraved neatly with his name in gold, while his son's was tattered and the name Jimmy written in crayons had been nearly scuffed from its surface. He ran a long skinny finger over the letters, as though he could RESTORE what had been worn away with time and use.
As he opened his personal "business journal" glancing over his "account" of the many transactions, the old man's eyes fell upon an inscription that stood out because the RECORD was so brief in comparison to other days. In his own neat handwriting were these words:
Wasted the whole day fishing with Jimmy. Didn't catch a thing.
With a deep sigh and a shaking hand, he took Jimmy's journal and found the young boy's entry for the exact same day, June 4th. Large scrawling letters, pressed deeply into the paper, read:
Went fishing with my Dad. Best day of my life.
I am reminded of a poem that I have in the front of a photo album from the years I had with Ryan my foster child blessing. It is called "One hundred years from now".
One hundred years from now
It won't matter
What kind of car I drove
What kind of house I lived in
How much money I had in the bank
Nor what my cloths looked like
BUT
The world may be a little better
Because, I was important
In the life of a child.
In my personal life today, relationships~albeit of the intimate romantic kind, or enduring friendships; I am finding in those too that LOVE is spelled T~I~M~E. The demise of society is adults becoming "enmeshed" in status, identity, and "business" activities almost DRIVEN BY FEAR.
This morning I sat with cup of coffee in hand in the white rocking chair outside watching the morning birds scurrying about, and the baby squirrel now almost a teen, and the delightment of the elderly orange tabby that has taken up home here since my neighbor passed away leaving him homeless nows greets ME each morning as I put a cup of food out for him.
I realized what is different about me now. I courageously asked the question "What am I more curious about than I am afraid of?".In an almost "aha moment", I realized how FEAR AND DOUBT, "together" and "ignored", will DRIVE YOU OUT OF YOUR OWN LIFE. But when we invite "them" into the layered light of awareness, they can't "join FORCES together" and RULE YOU FROM THE SHADOWS.

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never KNEW you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Cultivating The Garden Of Your H eart
The seed that will grow must first lose itself as seed. The seeds of life that are in all of us want to expand outward. The shell around each that grows thick to protect it initially MUST CRACK if the seed is to sprout. What is known and familiar must fall away for new life from within to burst forth into the lives of those around us. Its amazing what a day of de-cluttering "stuff" can achieve for the mind:
Yesterday, I was thinking about loss and life's "crisis" moments which oftentimes come to us "uninvited ~ (ie: cancer, death of loved ones, job loss, relationship breakups, car wrecks etc.) which cause us to question life and our direction. If permitted, those moments can become a candle that the soul holds out to us lightening our way in those dancing shadow moments~ almost requesting we find a way to remember what it is to live our life with passion, on purpose.
Some of us have the sense that we're not using ourselves to the utmost. Even at the happiest moments, others feel "something" is missing. I feel fortunate as of late for all the losses that came so fast and close together, although initially "uninvited" it came, now it is "welcomed" as it created an awareness in me to pay attention to my souls need for intimacy, authentic expression, creativity, and replenishing solitude.
These are questions that belong to each of us. Any life crisis brings up issues of the purpose of ones own life and the passion to live. But you don't have to be in a life-threatening situation to want to delve into this kind of inquiry. In the flash of a moment of internal truth, we are called to it by numbness, fatigue, or boredom. We can choose to continue to reach outside of ourselves to fill that emptiness (that "void") or we can sit with it, feel its empty awareness with a kind of spiritual inhalation.
Oddly, there is an actual spaciousness that comes from living from the inside out. It is only in this way can we "cultivate" joy again. Yes, cultivate it like a garden in our hearts by searching for the absolute "preciousness" of small things, the ordinary miracles that strengthen our hearts so we can keep them open to what is difficult. To delight in taking a shower or taking a slow walk with no destination, and noticing that one bird which sings every morning from the top of the pecan tree right above your door stoop. To walking out the door and seeing that tiny baby squirrel greeting me each morning eating from the spillage underneath the bird feeder. This particular morning I took note of the baby brown thrashers hopping around on the ground. Yesterday they were still in their nest. The difference a day can make.
While de-cluttering and donating cherished items which no longer served me in my journey, I realized yesterday the fire in my heart had been reignited. The process of de-cluttering was merely to carve away anything that threatened to snuff it out. I no longer feel at the mercy of life's changes. But now feel as if I am merely more equipped to offer to you my friends the gifts that are mine alone to give. The gift you all give to me is the awareness that I can be true to my own need to be private. At the same time, an exposing of myself here in the Facebook medium choosing to risk my tiny significance~ that reaching from my heart found you.
My journey is not more or less important than yours. It is just that...my "journey" and the only one I can make "authentically". The stories I share are my "truth" only. They merely represent my understanding of what happened at various times in life like a work of art, not a still photograph. If told or observed by anyone else...I am sure they would be different. I share them in hope that what is true for me...the overcoming, the spiritual awareness, the sin, the sin forgiven, the love of Father and his abundant grace can reveal what could be true for you.
I witness and share to encourage you to live "clutter" free (physically and spiritually)...enjoying the journey that is your and yours alone to take. Live it authentically.

No Conspiracy...Just plain facts of Networking toward Globalization, One World Government
You see, if you amount to anything in Washington these days, it is because you have been plucked or handpicked from an Ivy League school -- Harvard, Yale, Kennedy School of Government -- you've shown an aptitude to be a good Ivy League type, and so you're plucked so-to-speak, and you are assigned success. You are assigned a certain role in government somewhere, and then your success is monitored and tracked, and you go where the pluckers and the handpickers can put you.
The thrust towards global government can be well-documented but at the end of the twentieth century it does not look like a traditional conspiracy in the usual sense of a secret cabal of evil men meeting clandestinely behind closed doors. Rather, it is a "networking" of like-minded individuals in high places to achieve a common goal which is the erosion of independence, and the United States citizens as a free people.
How about the financial state of the United States of America?
The U.S. President THOMAS JEFFERSON and BENJAMIN FRANKLIN were inimical to the establishment of a private central bank for the control of the U.S. currency. After Franklin’s death in 1790 the Rothschild agents got ALEXANDER HAMILTON appointed as secretary of the treasury. In 1791 he created the “FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF THE UNITED STATES”, the first central bank fashioned after the “Bank of England” and controlled by the Rothschilds.
In 1811, when the contract of the bank with the U.S. lapsed, the American economy was so destabilized that the contract was not renewed for five years. The Rothschilds then used their influence in the British Parliament to have England reclaim her colonies in America. This led to the 1812-1815 war. The war again put the U.S. so much in debt that they had to ask the bankers once more for loans (i.e. the central bank)In 1836, under President Andrew Jackson, the central bank was again disapproved, but it got the concession back in 1863 and in 1913 became the “Federal Reserve Bank”, today’s central bank of the U.S. (more details will follow).
In 1812, after the death of Mayer Amschel, Nathan had custody of the family’s fortune. In this position he opened the NATHAN MAYER ROTHSCHILD & SONS BANK in London, with branches in Vienna, Paris and Berlin. This bank dealt in stocks and loans, it insured government, it managed and controlled other banks, railroads, steel plants, arms productions and many more. In America it was represented by KUHN LOEB & CO., by J.P. MORGAN & CO. and by AUGUST BELMONT & CO.
Nathan kept this position in the family clan until he was poisoned at a family gathering in 1836. The reason for the meeting was the marriage of his so LIONEL ROTHSCHILD. Some say that Nathan was executed because he had helped himself to some of the family fortune.
His son LIONEL was very successful as the new boss of N.M. ROTHSCHILD & SONS and eventually became a Member of Parliament.
Jakob (James) Rothschild from the Paris branch was custodian of the family fortune
from 1836 to 1868. He had been next in line after Nathan.
The Rothschilds together with the Bavarian Illuminati represented the financial power behind Zionism and later communism and they had started and financed many revolutions and wars.
For instance, did Rothschilds finance both sides of the Civil War in the U.S. between 1861-1865? From December 1860 to May 1861 eleven states whose economy depended on slavery (the Southern states) declared they wanted to leave the Union and formed the “Confederate States”. In April 1861 this led to the secession war against the remaining Union states in the north.
The reasons leading to this civil war were almost completely due to the actions and provocations of ROTHSCHILD AGENTS. One of those troublemakers was GEORGE BICKLEY, who had founded the “KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE”. The House of Rothschild then had Bickley and his knights extol the disadvantages of the Union for the Confederate States. In the remaining Union states the Rothschilds had J.P. Morgan and August Belmont praise the advantages of the Union.
The London Rothschild bank financed the North, the Paris bank the South. A fantastic business for the Rothschilds. If you finance both sides and support the arms as well, you can but win. Here, the Americans were the only losers, both the North and the South (Machiavelli sends his regards).
It happened though that President Lincoln saw through this and refused to pay the Rothschilds’ immense interests. He then asked Congress to have the Greenback dollars made in order to pay the Union troops.
This of course ran contrary to the plans of the Rothschilds and led to them having Lincoln murdered by their agent JOHN WILKES BOOTH on April 14, 1865. John W. Booth was later freed from jail by the Knights of the Golden Circle and spent the rest of his life quite comfortably in England, thanks to the handsome payment by Rothschild. After Lincoln’s death the greenbacks were withdrawn and later bought in at ridiculous price by the central bankers Morgan, Belmont and Rothschild.
1910 -- The Federal Reserve (neither federal nor a reserve) is created. It was planned at a secret meeting in 1910 on Jekyll Island, Georgia by a group of bankers and politicians, including Col. House. This transferred the power to create money from the American government to a private group of bankers. It is probably the largest generator of debt in the world.
1939 -- New World Order by H. G. Wells proposes a collectivist one-world state"' or "new world order" comprised of "socialist democracies." He advocates "universal conscription for service" and declares that "nationalist individualism... is the world's disease." He continues:"The manifest necessity for some collective world control to eliminate warfare and the less generally admitted necessity for a collective control of the economic and biological life of mankind, are aspects of one and the same process." He proposes that this be accomplished through "universal law" and propaganda (aka education aka deception)."
June 28, 1945 -- President Truman endorses world government in a speech:"It will be just as easy for nations to get along in a republic of the world as it is for us to get along in a republic of the United States."
1950 -- In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, international financier James P Warburg said:"we shall have a world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest."
April 12, 1952 -- John Foster Dulles, later to become Secretary of State, says in a speech to the American Bar Association in Louisville, Kentucky, that "treaty laws can override the Constitution." He says treaties can take power away from Congress and give them to the President. They can take powers from the States and give them to the Federal Government or to some international body and they can cut across the rights given to the people by their constitutional Bill of Rights. A Senate amendment, proposed by GOP Senator John Bricker, would have provided that no treaty could supersede the Constitution, but it fails to pass by one vote.
1967 -- Richard Nixon calls for New World Order. In Asia after Vietnam, in the October issue of Foreign Affairs, Nixon writes of nations' dispositions to evolve regional approaches to development needs and to the evolution of a "new world order."
July 26, 1968 -- Nelson Rockefeller pledges support of the New World Order. In an Associated Press report, Rockefeller pledges that, "as President, he would work toward international creation of a new world order."
May 18, 1972 -- In speaking of the coming of world government, Roy M. Ash, director of the Office of Management and Budget, declares that:"within two decades the institutional framework for a world economic community will be in place... [and] aspects of individual sovereignty will be given over to a super-national authority."
1973 -- The Trilateral Commission is established. Banker David Rockefeller organizes this new private body
1975 -- In Congress, 32 Senators and 92 Representatives sign A Declaration of Interdependence, written by historian Henry Steele Commager. The Declaration states that:"we must join with others to bring forth a new world order... Narrow notions of national sovereignty must not be permitted to curtail that obligation."Congresswoman Marjorie Holt refuses to sign the Declaration saying:"It calls for the surrender of our national sovereignty to international organizations. It declares that our economy should be regulated by international authorities. It proposes that we enter a 'new world order' that would redistribute the wealth created by the American people."
May 12, 1989 -- President Bush invites the Soviets to join World Order. Speaking to the graduating class at Texas A&M University, Mr. Bush states that the United States is ready to welcome the Soviet Union "back into the world order."
September 11, 1990 -- President Bush calls the Gulf War an opportunity for the New World Order. In an address to Congress entitled Toward a New World Order, Mr. Bush says:"The crisis in the Persian Gulf offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times... a new world order can emerge in which the nations of the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper and live in harmony.... Today the new world is struggling to be born."October 29,
1991 -- David Funderburk, former U. S. Ambassador to Romania, tells a North Carolina audience:"George Bush has been surrounding himself with people who believe in one-world government. They believe that the Soviet system and the American system are converging." The vehicle to bring this about, said Funderburk, is the United Nations, "the majority of whose 166 member states are socialist, atheist, and anti-American."
1992 -- President Bush addressing the General Assembly of the U.N said:It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance."
July 18, 1993 -- CFR member and Trilateralist Henry Kissinger writes in the Los Angeles Times concerning NAFTA:"What Congress will have before it is not a conventional trade agreement but the architecture of a new international system... a first step toward a new world order."
Barack Obama promised to bring CHANGE to America. Barack Obama is seeding his cabinet with New World Order elites. What few people understand is what that change will look like. The massive "dumbed down" and happy American population hasn’t got a clue and seem to be blindly following him into the New World Order like sheep going to the slaughter as he fills his cabinet with extremists who are members of organizations that are openly hostile to America remaining a free market society and a sovereign country.
Timothy Geithner - Treasury secretary He is president of the "New York Federal Reserve Bank", and is intimately involved in the multi-Trillion dollar transfers to International banksters.
2008 ----Geithner pushes the New World Order agenda at the 2008 Bilberberg Meeting of a one world currency and global control of financial systems. Geithner wrote an article in the Financial Times calling for a global regulatory banking framework, and called for The Federal Reserve to have an instrumental role in this new framework. Geithner wrote this piece right after the Bilderberg Meeting where some of the most powerful figures in the world of Central Banking attended. Not only did Geithner attend, but the attendee list included Ben Bernanke the Federal Reserve Chairman, Henry Paulson the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Jean-Claude Trichet the president of the European Central Bank, Robert Zoellick the president of the World Bank and other high profile bankers. With the who’s who of central banking attending the Bilderberg Meeting. It is no secret that the true objective of the Bilderberg Meeting is to steer the world into accepting a Global Government...By establishing a One World Currency-no matter who gets hurt in the process of their GREED.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that "something is coming against our Nation". What is it? Who is it? Is it Biblical? Or is is just plain political. For years I spoke of these things only to thought of as looney tunes..."a conspiracy theorist".
John 8:43-45 "Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not."
2000+ years later, eyes are "opening " to the fact that "there are powers" IN OUR GOVT literally stripping us of us from The Constitution, The Bill of Rights and The Declaration of Independence which set the United States apart from the World. What you are seeing is the time just before the "end-times". The United Nations was a "type" leading to the New World Order or aka "The Beast politically" of Revelations to we Christians who have eyes to see. So, know Christ foretold us all things. Awake from your slumber for the Day of The Lord is fastly approaching. But first, we have work to do STANDING and planting seeds teaching truth...right down to standing and witnessing against The Anti-Christ (which is none other than Satan) himself for whom these minions have been diligently and long-suffering in planning for his arrival triggered when The Arch-Angel Michael kicks him out of Heaven...right to this Earth.

The 7 heads, 10 horns and 7 crowns are THE NWO or a ONE WORLD POLITICAL UNIT of which Satan will "Head" defacto when he is booted out of Heaven TO THIS EARTH! Please get your mind wrapped around this.
Revelations 12:7 And there was war in Heaven (not earth) Michael and his angels fought against the dragon (Satan) and the dragon fought and his angels and prevailed not,
Revelations 12:8 neither was there a place found anymore in HEAVEN ... See More
Revelations 12:9 And the great dragon was CAST OUT (of Heaven to this earth) that ole serpent (his "role or title" in the Garden of Eden) called The Devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world, HE was cast out INTO THE EARTH, and his angels with him.
The dragon is Satan "after his fall".
A "political system" doesn't receive a deadly wound by "sword" exactly but rather by a break-up of Nations as far as peace agreements. It's going to happen VERY SOON! Then, watch Jerusalem and the rest will be history foretold. Let those who have eyes to see...rejoice and lets remember all those who died for this great nation and stood for The Constitution and The Republic.

The thrust towards global government can be well-documented but at the end of the twentieth century it does not look like a traditional conspiracy in the usual sense of a secret cabal of evil men meeting clandestinely behind closed doors. Rather, it is a "networking" of like-minded individuals in high places to achieve a common goal which is the erosion of independence, and the United States citizens as a free people.
How about the financial state of the United States of America?
The U.S. President THOMAS JEFFERSON and BENJAMIN FRANKLIN were inimical to the establishment of a private central bank for the control of the U.S. currency. After Franklin’s death in 1790 the Rothschild agents got ALEXANDER HAMILTON appointed as secretary of the treasury. In 1791 he created the “FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF THE UNITED STATES”, the first central bank fashioned after the “Bank of England” and controlled by the Rothschilds.
In 1811, when the contract of the bank with the U.S. lapsed, the American economy was so destabilized that the contract was not renewed for five years. The Rothschilds then used their influence in the British Parliament to have England reclaim her colonies in America. This led to the 1812-1815 war. The war again put the U.S. so much in debt that they had to ask the bankers once more for loans (i.e. the central bank)In 1836, under President Andrew Jackson, the central bank was again disapproved, but it got the concession back in 1863 and in 1913 became the “Federal Reserve Bank”, today’s central bank of the U.S. (more details will follow).
In 1812, after the death of Mayer Amschel, Nathan had custody of the family’s fortune. In this position he opened the NATHAN MAYER ROTHSCHILD & SONS BANK in London, with branches in Vienna, Paris and Berlin. This bank dealt in stocks and loans, it insured government, it managed and controlled other banks, railroads, steel plants, arms productions and many more. In America it was represented by KUHN LOEB & CO., by J.P. MORGAN & CO. and by AUGUST BELMONT & CO.
Nathan kept this position in the family clan until he was poisoned at a family gathering in 1836. The reason for the meeting was the marriage of his so LIONEL ROTHSCHILD. Some say that Nathan was executed because he had helped himself to some of the family fortune.
His son LIONEL was very successful as the new boss of N.M. ROTHSCHILD & SONS and eventually became a Member of Parliament.
Jakob (James) Rothschild from the Paris branch was custodian of the family fortune
from 1836 to 1868. He had been next in line after Nathan.
The Rothschilds together with the Bavarian Illuminati represented the financial power behind Zionism and later communism and they had started and financed many revolutions and wars.
For instance, did Rothschilds finance both sides of the Civil War in the U.S. between 1861-1865? From December 1860 to May 1861 eleven states whose economy depended on slavery (the Southern states) declared they wanted to leave the Union and formed the “Confederate States”. In April 1861 this led to the secession war against the remaining Union states in the north.
The reasons leading to this civil war were almost completely due to the actions and provocations of ROTHSCHILD AGENTS. One of those troublemakers was GEORGE BICKLEY, who had founded the “KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE”. The House of Rothschild then had Bickley and his knights extol the disadvantages of the Union for the Confederate States. In the remaining Union states the Rothschilds had J.P. Morgan and August Belmont praise the advantages of the Union.
The London Rothschild bank financed the North, the Paris bank the South. A fantastic business for the Rothschilds. If you finance both sides and support the arms as well, you can but win. Here, the Americans were the only losers, both the North and the South (Machiavelli sends his regards).
It happened though that President Lincoln saw through this and refused to pay the Rothschilds’ immense interests. He then asked Congress to have the Greenback dollars made in order to pay the Union troops.
This of course ran contrary to the plans of the Rothschilds and led to them having Lincoln murdered by their agent JOHN WILKES BOOTH on April 14, 1865. John W. Booth was later freed from jail by the Knights of the Golden Circle and spent the rest of his life quite comfortably in England, thanks to the handsome payment by Rothschild. After Lincoln’s death the greenbacks were withdrawn and later bought in at ridiculous price by the central bankers Morgan, Belmont and Rothschild.
1910 -- The Federal Reserve (neither federal nor a reserve) is created. It was planned at a secret meeting in 1910 on Jekyll Island, Georgia by a group of bankers and politicians, including Col. House. This transferred the power to create money from the American government to a private group of bankers. It is probably the largest generator of debt in the world.
1939 -- New World Order by H. G. Wells proposes a collectivist one-world state"' or "new world order" comprised of "socialist democracies." He advocates "universal conscription for service" and declares that "nationalist individualism... is the world's disease." He continues:"The manifest necessity for some collective world control to eliminate warfare and the less generally admitted necessity for a collective control of the economic and biological life of mankind, are aspects of one and the same process." He proposes that this be accomplished through "universal law" and propaganda (aka education aka deception)."
June 28, 1945 -- President Truman endorses world government in a speech:"It will be just as easy for nations to get along in a republic of the world as it is for us to get along in a republic of the United States."
1950 -- In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, international financier James P Warburg said:"we shall have a world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest."
April 12, 1952 -- John Foster Dulles, later to become Secretary of State, says in a speech to the American Bar Association in Louisville, Kentucky, that "treaty laws can override the Constitution." He says treaties can take power away from Congress and give them to the President. They can take powers from the States and give them to the Federal Government or to some international body and they can cut across the rights given to the people by their constitutional Bill of Rights. A Senate amendment, proposed by GOP Senator John Bricker, would have provided that no treaty could supersede the Constitution, but it fails to pass by one vote.
1967 -- Richard Nixon calls for New World Order. In Asia after Vietnam, in the October issue of Foreign Affairs, Nixon writes of nations' dispositions to evolve regional approaches to development needs and to the evolution of a "new world order."

Ash, director of the Office of Management and Budget, declares that:"within two decades the institutional framework for a world economic community will be in place... [and] aspects of individual sovereignty will be given over to a super-national authority."
1973 -- The Trilateral Commission is established. Banker David Rockefeller organizes this new private body
1975 -- In Congress, 32 Senators and 92 Representatives sign A Declaration of Interdependence, written by historian Henry Steele Commager. The Declaration states that:"we must join with others to bring forth a new world order... Narrow notions of national sovereignty must not be permitted to curtail that obligation."Congresswoman Marjorie Holt refuses to sign the Declaration saying:"It calls for the surrender of our national sovereignty to international organizations. It declares that our economy should be regulated by international authorities. It proposes that we enter a 'new world order' that would redistribute the wealth created by the American people."
May 12, 1989 -- President Bush invites the Soviets to join World Order. Speaking to the graduating class at Texas A&M University, Mr. Bush states that the United States is ready to welcome the Soviet Union "back into the world order."
September 11, 1990 -- President Bush calls the Gulf War an opportunity for the New World Order. In an address to Congress entitled Toward a New World Order, Mr. Bush says:"The crisis in the Persian Gulf offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times... a new world order can emerge in which the nations of the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper and live in harmony.... Today the new world is struggling to be born."October 29,
1991 -- David Funderburk, former U. S. Ambassador to Romania, tells a North Carolina audience:"George Bush has been surrounding himself with people who believe in one-world government. They believe that the Soviet system and the American system are converging." The vehicle to bring this about, said Funderburk, is the United Nations, "the majority of whose 166 member states are socialist, atheist, and anti-American."
1992 -- President Bush addressing the General Assembly of the U.N said:It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance."
July 18, 1993 -- CFR member and Trilateralist Henry Kissinger writes in the Los Angeles Times concerning NAFTA:"What Congress will have before it is not a conventional trade agreement but the architecture of a new international system... a first step toward a new world order."
Barack Obama promised to bring CHANGE to America. Barack Obama is seeding his cabinet with New World Order elites. What few people understand is what that change will look like. The massive "dumbed down" and happy American population hasn’t got a clue and seem to be blindly following him into the New World Order like sheep going to the slaughter as he fills his cabinet with extremists who are members of organizations that are openly hostile to America remaining a free market society and a sovereign country.
Timothy Geithner - Treasury secretary He is president of the "New York Federal Reserve Bank", and is intimately involved in the multi-Trillion dollar transfers to International banksters.
2008 ----Geithner pushes the New World Order agenda at the 2008 Bilberberg Meeting of a one world currency and global control of financial systems. Geithner wrote an article in the Financial Times calling for a global regulatory banking framework, and called for The Federal Reserve to have an instrumental role in this new framework. Geithner wrote this piece right after the Bilderberg Meeting where some of the most powerful figures in the world of Central Banking attended. Not only did Geithner attend, but the attendee list included Ben Bernanke the Federal Reserve Chairman, Henry Paulson the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Jean-Claude Trichet the president of the European Central Bank, Robert Zoellick the president of the World Bank and other high profile bankers. With the who’s who of central banking attending the Bilderberg Meeting. It is no secret that the true objective of the Bilderberg Meeting is to steer the world into accepting a Global Government...By establishing a One World Currency-no matter who gets hurt in the process of their GREED.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that "something is coming against our Nation". What is it? Who is it? Is it Biblical? Or is is just plain political. For years I spoke of these things only to thought of as looney tunes..."a conspiracy theorist".
John 8:43-45 "Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not."
