God is the Father.

Jesus is the son.

And we are his salt and light to each other . Amen.

 

Listen to the words and realize that there are people who struggle with their faith and belief that there is God waiting to meet us when he calls us. So, we need to shine his light on others and speak about his love for them .

You know, I went to church this past weekend and I saw an older gentleman that I know there. He leaned into me and said there is a person that keeps confronting me on faith based stuff and God. This man was stressed out he could barely stand he is very handicapped. I said B, Do not worry, I made this mistake years back too I said. You cannot save anyone, only God can. We are called to live our lives in a way that people will want to say what do you have, That I don’t?

I told him if this non believer is coming after you then that is not God, if this person has a Spirit of Opression then that too is from a different master. I said to B, do not give your peace up, don’t respond to the attacks, pray for this person. Not because you feel your right or better but because he is lost. Amen.

Why he confided in me in that moment only God knows. The bottom line is that I am proud that he trusted me enough to come to me.  These are situations that we all face.  It is life. Because B came to me with this issue before mass, I was able to pray for them both so it made that Holy mass even more special. Amen.

Holy, Holy, Holy            Hillsong.

 

I am over the cold that I had so, I went to Dana Farber today for my scan to check for bats ( tumors) in my belfrey as I say. I rolled out of bed at 5 am and was there for my blood draw and they inserted a port that I needed fom my scan as well.

I went to the scan and It went well. Dana Farber is one of the most effiectly run Hospitals that I have ever seen.

I went next to see my doctor. Dr. R walked in smiled and we shook hands he said, well how are you feeling? I said never better. he smiled and Dr. R said that my scan looked perfect still so he was very happy. I thanked him and said God’s got it,and he used you in this process too.  🙂 I love the guy and his Nurse S, they are God in action. We share a brotherly love. What a beautiful gift that is.

 

God knows this but I will state for the record now, God…

You Are My,   All And All.

Thank you Jesus with lyrics. Hillsong

 

For All My Doctor’s at Lahey Burlington, Harvard Vanguard, Dana Farber and all of their staff too ! For Winchester Orthopedic Plus and their whole staff  You are all God’s Miracle workers. 🙂

This song is for you all.!   What could expect from Me LOL Just smile and know that I and many others thank God for you and pray for you all daily . Amen !

Love, Danny and family

 

THIS , will Put A Smile on Your Faces !!!!   God Bless You All 🙂

Let me just say I was not thinking of this song I haven’t  heard it since I was maybe a ten year old boy when I driving around with my mom and dad. I know my mom liked it.  It came out of the blue in fragments to my mind, just a few words with a beat. The song popped up in my head and up out of my chair I went to my computer and I found it. God does work in mysterious ways 🙂 Today I was talking to a childhood friend from Florida Billy. God joined our  lives and our personal psalm #139  back in kindergarden he was my first friend there. We have been connected since that day. It is funny, I remember the first  day I walked home from school with him, the school was a half block away from my home so my mom would come out onto the walkway and watch me come down the street. This day she was also weeding the front flower bed. In this moment , I am thinking how  it really is miraculous indeed that my memory remains so vivid even through this Gleo’s attack on me. But again, thats God. I will pick up with more on Bill in the not too distant future. He is an amazing man.

 

For this moment let me say this , Life can be tough but It is not tragic. And, oddly enough even great things can become problems to us. Its how our emotions are running in any given moment. Thats why emotions need to be controlled, another free will choice ! Even in the perfection of a Miracle I can find the imperfection. Thats why I need to be aware of that aspect of my thinking and I need to cut that thought off at the pass.

I am a Miracle and yet have more physical hurtles yet to jump. I generally say so what to that fact but, I do have moments that I say I cannot stand this. I am grateful and yet frustrated. My body holds my mind back back from going and doing. Only prayer to my Lord and Heaven restores me. 

Another thing about a Miracle in my feelings anyway and based on my life, is that I just want to be normal to others, that I blend in . I have been so many places where people will see me at a function, grad party, restaurant and do a double take shocked to see me. They cannot believe its me or how I look.  For a while in my home parish some  people would part like the red sea to allow me passage to a seat. Some actually said Its a honor and God would have me stop and say, thankyou, and I am only a person like you and God loves us all the same. I then thank them for their prayers. I am not a matyr by any standard,  it takes courage to be one of those. God gave me an easy pass for the moment.

God called me in this moment to witness and inside my head sometimes I am that little kid pouting and stamping my foot. Part of me wants to say this right now, How dare I feel this way! But you know, I am human and God knows my short comings and knows my gripes etc. He loves me anyway, he knows my heart and he is merciful. He loves you all too. 🙂

Finally, here is the song that I spoke of above, and we sometimes feel like this in our lives but the reality is that we do not have to live with this as our personal anthem. Life is good, Life is worth living 🙂 Amen.

And the after life when this side show ends, it is so much better. ! 

Side Show  Blue Magic

 

As always, God Bless You,

I completed my posting today and sat down to sleep for a bit actually. I am still fighting of a cold but by the grace of God I am getting there.

I put on the television and saw this Rabbi giving a teaching on the meaning of the Jewish Holy day’s I certainly found him to be very insightful so watch his video on his  Face book page page and see what you think. It is no coincidence that I wrote the blog today and published it only to discover someone that I had never seen or heard of before.  Speaking on the same issue. Thats God 🙂 And thats why I put it on my blog because it is for everyone.

The Worth Of Our Souls.

As the the years have gone by especially the last 5 years for me, I have come to the understanding that the most important thing that we have to consentrate on in our lives is the condition of our souls. Personally, as a dad it also invigorated me to make this point to my children crystal clear.

I have said it before but it is the truth. You may not understand this and I can’t say that I blame you for that either, but…

Nobody wants a desease such as what I have had however,  would my soul be today in this moment where it is now if I had not had this experience ?

We are called to be prepared because the Lord could call us by name to him at any moment. People really think that  I know so so much about faith, life, it all. Let me tell you honesty, I don’t.  I have only scratched the surface of Who God Is!  I am falling in love with God so personally. Without this cancer I would not be here now and have this Spiritual Awaweness. And I still have a very long way to go.

I have the awareness of God, I have faith in God, but now God has me in the school of knowledge where His word (scripture) after study are being revealed to my heart for their use in my life. So, for the first time in my life, God is living in me. I personally own that reality. It is the intersection where my body, mind and Holy Spirit are aligned to serve God and undersrtand what he wants from me and for me. He wants me to witness him to my peers and wants me to call people back to his cross. The Holy Spirit is working with me so, I am sure that he will help me get it right. God wants the same for all of us. We are all equal in his eye’s. But we need to take Jesus/ God on our journeys daily. Pick ourseleves up, dustoff and keep going, always with an outstretched hand  from another in need of help and the need of the revelation of Jesus Christ in their lives. Christ  is our 1  hope , our life, our only hope. Jesus had done it All.

Aaron Sledge    Did It All For Me

 

What I do know is about the Mercy he has given me and all of you.

Full Question

What exactly is a soul?

Answer

The glossary at the back of the U.S. version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church defines “soul” as follows:

The spiritual principle of human beings. The soul is the subject of human consciousness and freedom; soul and body together form one unique human nature. Each human soul is individual and immortal, immediately created by God. The soul does not die with the body, from which it is separated by death, and with which it will be reunited in the final resurrection.

Here’s more:

The human person, created in the image of God, is a being at once corporeal and spiritual. The biblical account expresses this reality in symbolic language when it affirms that “then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” Man, whole and entire, is therefore willed by God. In Sacred Scripture the term “soul” often refers to human life or the entire human person. But “soul” also refers to the innermost.aspect of man, that which is of greatest value in him, that by which he is most especially in God’s image: “Soul” signifies the spiritual principle in man. The human body shares in the dignity of “the image of God”: it is a human body precisely because it is animated by a spiritual soul, and it is the whole human person that is intended to become, in the body of Christ, a temple of the Spirit. Man, though made of body and soul, is a unity. Through his very bodily condition he sums up in himself the elements of the material world. Through him they are thus brought to their highest perfection and can raise their voice in praise freely given to the Creator. For this reason man may not despise his bodily life. Rather he is obliged to regard his body as good and to hold it in honor since God has created it and will raise it up on the last day. The unity of soul and body is so profound that one has to consider the soul to be the “form” of the body: i.e., it is because of its spiritual soul that the body made of matter becomes a living, human body; spirit and matter, in man, are not two natures united, but rather their union forms a single nature. The Church teaches that every spiritual soul is created immediately by God—it is not “produced” by the parents—and also that it is immortal: It does not perish when it separates from the body at death, and it will be reunited with the body at the final Resurrection. Sometimes the soul is distinguished from the spirit: St. Paul for instance prays that God may sanctify his people “wholly,” with “spirit and soul and body” kept sound and blameless at the Lord’s coming. The Church teaches that this distinction does not introduce a duality into the soul. “Spirit” signifies that from creation man is ordered to a supernatural end and that his soul can gratuitously be raised beyond all it deserves to communion with God. The spiritual tradition of the Church also emphasizes the heart, in the biblical sense of the depths of one’s being, where the person decides for or against God. (CCC 362-368)

 

Answered by: Jim Blackburn

With this in mind, we need to seriously think about our Souls daily and see what the condition of it may be. The Holy Spirit will help you, if you feel guilty or realize that you have been hurtful to someone, cheated, stolen etc, we will be convicted by that sin BUT, if we seek repentance from God and are truely sorry Jesus will heal your soul of this sins and never remember the sins again.

We must always forgive everyone of their debts or transgressions towards us as well. God cannot forgive someone if they are withholding forgiveness to someone else. Those are my thouhgts on that matter.

Happy New Year.

I Received a call today from a beautiful friend Margie . I will write a book about her someday 🙂 I love her so much ! 🙂   We talked for a while and I was reminded of our Jewish friends Holiday’s of Rosh Hashanah and the Holy time until Oct 3rd , Yom Kippur. The day of atonement.  Very Beautiful.

a·tone·ment
əˈtōnmənt/
noun
  1. reparation for a wrong or injury.
    “she wanted to make atonement for her husband’s behavior”
    • (in religious contexts) reparation or expiation for sin.
      “an annual ceremony of confession and atonement for sin”
    • CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY
      the reconciliation of God and humankind through Jesus Christ.
      noun: Atonement; noun: the Atonement
      So, I would like to say. God Bless You All during this time, you are in my prayers. Amen.

      Pray For Israel.
       My Wife and I are very grateful for our Friends in Israel. We have never visited there personally but our hearts are united in a very Special way to you all. Not only do we have many Jewish friends her in the U.S. but….
      During my journey with Glio Blastoma Multiform Grade 4 that was non surgical and considered terminal. Our Special connection with the people of Israel came about by God’s Magnificence only. Amen.
      After my diagnosis two very dear friends came to visit my wife and I here and we prayed together.
      He gave me a card that was very heavy. I opened it up and inside the card there was plastic pocket that held a beautiful large silver colored Medallion.
      There was a small letter from Bob and Jackie that was enclosed. By the way, I had just found the little letter folded in half by itself mixed in with my prayer material next to my chair within the last two weeks. Finding the letter was God ‘s doing, for this very moment  , there is no doubt about that. 🙂
       Bob and Jackies letter was small and reads this verbatim. 
      Dan:
      A number of years ago, an Israeli colleague presented this medallion to me during my first trip to Israel.
      The inscription in Hebrew and English is a symbol of faith and love. That persons, regardless of their personal belief, may someday visit or return to the eternal city : Jerusalem.
      Alway’s with the prayer. ” May You Go Safe and Come safe”.
      our thoughts and prayers are exactly the same for you , dear friend as you continue and complete your journey at this time.
      Also, one of our dearest friends in Jerusalem. We emailed him a request for prayer for you and your family at the Wailing Wall and insert a prayer for you all in the wall.
      With our continued friendship and love ,
      Bob and Jackie
      Now, Thats God For You! God can do anything.
      I do not have the card or the medallion anymore. There was a reason for Bobs feeling compelled to share that with me. As soon as I received it I felt compelled to use it in prayer. I only have one hand use since the cancer and treatment so I took my pocket cross and that medallion and had my kids put a rubber band on them so they were bound together. I then placed it in to my hand and prayed through the night for the Safety Of Israel and for my country the USA to stand and watch over them. God called me to prayer with such furvor. God gave me a passion and love for Israel. I pray all the time for Israel and its people. When I pray, I envision a supernatural protection like a clear dome protecting them. And guess what I believe that  prayer can do that!!  Call it crazy, but I don’t. It is the time of God’s miracles.
      About 6 or so months ago before I went to church I got an interior message from God that it was time to return the medallion to Bob it was very tarnished when I returned it to him, but it should have been I held it in my hand everynight for nearly two years and prayed not stop with it.
      God knows the whens and whys of everything. Thats all that really matters to me.
      So, thank you God for my friends, Bob, Jackie and Margie they are bricks in my foundation of faith.
      Love,
      Danny
      Song Of Celebation 🙂

      I hope and pray that the music is good , i do not speak Hebrew!
      After all , I am just Danny. 🙂
      Lastly, Bob and Jackie facilitated the planting of a tree in my family name in a Garden in Jerusalem. I told them right away thank you but that tree was planted for us all so we could unite together. Beautiful friends.
      Your  prayers are part of the reason why I am sitting here in this moment.
      God answers everyones prayers ! Amen.

I am going to touch on the first time I remember crashing my life/boat/car onto the rocks/into the tree. My family alway’s reminds me of this event. 🙂

I wrote in a earlier blog about our free will choices that we make can potentially make us crash our lives onto the rocks. Well, in this next account I really did it.

Patience is a virtue that I am still learning but at the age of around 6, I did not possess any at all. I frankly did not care and for good reason!! 🙂  I had a orange and green plastic boat that I was determined on christening it in a tub of water.

Well you see ,  back in the day like 1968 for boys, boats, planes, little green army men and live turtles ruled the day.

I wanted to get my boat into water and make it float. So……

I did what every kid would do and went in to the kitchen where my mom was with my grandmother, siblings and a few cousins. My grandmother and mother were hemming pants etc, I was driving them crazy so my mom scolded me and I and was told this is not the time! Go play for a few minutes with the other kids.Well, Bozo and Willie Whistle was not working for me!       Ready for a flashback ? LOL

Willy Whistle Show

 

Bozo the Big Top.

I hatched a better plan 🙂  So I thought.

 

And being the good boy that I was, I weeped and left them alone. I snuck out of the house and got into my mothers pontiac safari station wagon, it was very new. It was also turquoise in color . Man, it was the cat’s meow !  lol

It was similar to the picture below.

So any ways, Just danny got scolded for being impatient so, I got out of their hair and got into my moms car.

Well, I climbed into my families dream boat /car with my boat in hand and my voyage began. I started to pretend I was floating my boat. I decided to climb into the back seat where I belonged ! For gosh sakes I am only a kid. 🙂 Then the un thinkable happened. I caught the silver gear shift with my foot and away I went down the driveway it was a hilly one too and my grandmother was holding on for dear life to the outside of the car door as was my mother screaming. Fortunately for me there was a really big tree across the street that stopped my boat. My mom took me out crying and said don’t you ever do this again. She hugged me and then I got punished. I deserved it too. We were instructed never to leave that house. I unlocked the door and snuck out of house. The car talgate was damaged but thank God , my Grandmother, Mom, siblings or cousins did not get hurt. My mother and grandmother where so attentive to all of us always. Having 4 kids of my own and working opposite schedules than my wife, there were moments I am sure the angels watched over my kids when I was on duty. My mom had a way of controlling here temper she would take your arm and look into your eyes and you knew, you learned.  She was a treasure to our family. Still is for that matter and she is watching over my family for sure.

God was there that day and his angels protected us all. As a final thought. When the car was stopped by the tree I fell over and landed on the back floor. I am not certain what happened to that  toy boat. 🙂

Watch this video, I guess I wasn’t that bad. !!

Action Kid Movie . very cute.

 

God Bless You,

Danny

I had already posted my daily post today. I was praying and refecting on those who are sick in my life and their needs.The memory of this song came to me and I got up to get some chicken broth for lunch. Why, I need to tell you that I really don’t know lol but, thats okay. 🙂 So, I sat down and put the computer on and I had received an email as a reminder and invite to a meeting of people living with Chronic desease etc. A support group, I have gone once before. It was such an inspirational experience for me. My faith was built by each and everyone that was present that evening in that room. Their are no victims or Matyrs present there either. They are God’s children and Jesus Christ has already won that war for us. We Already have Victory Through Christ, Jesus. They are people loving and caring for eachother and carrying one anothers crosses through prayer. It lightens their loads and burdens ultimately building their faith. A strong foundation!. Its simple and not dramatic. Its LOVE.

I mentioned in my blog last Friday I believe that it was that that I could not go to Dana Farber this past Monday. I saw my primary on Monday instead and I have a cold that got pretty heavy. So,I am just riding it out and I will go To Dana next week for the scan . It will happen at God’s appointed time. That, I do know.

It was no coincidence that God brought me to this song today it is for this moment. So turn up the volume of your speakers and go full screen. Let the Spirit of God heal you in this moment . AMEN!

Please pray today 

For : Paul S and his family

for Anne K and her family

for Jenn C and her family

For All of Our Hospitals, medical doctors, nurses, support , Physical therapists and scientists

For the group of those from my parish  living with cancer and other chronic illnesses.

For all of the sick in this world, all of those in pain and despair. For world peace and peoples hearts and souls to turn back to Jesus Christ/ God in this moment. Amen.

 

It Is The Time Of Miracles !

God Bless You !

Danny

I believe that this is an anointed  song.
