This Post is truely a serious subject to me. Let me frame this situation up to the best of my ability. It will take more than one writing, that is for sure. But it is true, it contains the Shrine in Boston, A priest and my landlord. A spiritualist came to my apartment too. Life was scary thats for sure! This event took place around 26 years ago while my wife and I were renting a beautiful apartment in Belmont.

Life was beautiful my wife and I were engaged and we rented an apartment in Belmont. One of my clients was a realtor and she had this listing. It was a beauty.

WE did not live there until we got married. We would not have but the landlord told us that we could not anyway, they did not go for that stuff.  We just bought stuff mainly 2-3rd hand who cares. 🙂 and furnished the place.We earned our pay and liked to save for the proverbial rainy day. We were wed and moved into our apartment together. Married life began. My wife and I had our first son D. My wife worked nights 6pm and arrived home by 2 :30 a.m. I left for work at around 7:00 a.m. so my wife was on duty at that moment.  Things were very good at the apartment for the three of us. Our landlords were old school and very family oriented. We loved them.

My wife and I were expecting our second son Brad Michael and he was found to be ill and my wife also went into labor and was put on bedrest.  I spoke about this on the July 29th blog entry.

Well, my son Brad Michael passed away and the day after his burial we moved home to Belmont after 6 months of living with my parents.

Life was very bitter, and we were angry with God as many people would be. It is not God’s plan for children to die, it was brought on by original sin. I  was also at this this time in search of my faith and even though I had been attending church I started a boycott on God. I was lashing out and getting revenge on God, how stupid ! I left God just when I needed him most. My wife was so devestated that she kept praying and crying. I will continue this, I can only go so far with each writing, what spiritural stuff that I brought upon my family was horrific. I tried  to tell Fr. R about them years ago, and just could not. It was an open wound still, to me. Like I wrote in a past blog we need to be careful what we expose ourselves to. Evil is for real !!!!!!

This song is very good, I walked away from God in anger and hurt. I left him , but he never left me.

Just when I needed You Most. Randy VanWarmer

Not all things of the Spirit are good. Let me tell you why, in my opinion. It is my feeling after prayer and my life living with the Holy Spirit that we all have the ability through the Holy Spirit of God to do good.

But we also have the power through our thoughts and words that we speak to bring a Spirit Forward that is not of God but of Evil.  I came up face to face with Evil 26 years ago. I will be publishing on this post starting tomorrow about this experience.

Why ? Because I need people to see that it actually does exist. it is not just something talked about around a cap fire or on a scary television program.

When the Priest, Rabbi or Pastor talks about Evil/devil it is not because they are crazy or fear mongers. They are trying to inform us so that we do not experience these things in our lives. The evil one is lurking around all the time.

Stay close to Jesus,  as my mom would say …

Knowing what you stand for, limits what you fall for.

At the time of my life when all heck  broke out, I was very uncertain of who God was in my life. I was so angry about my son’s death.  I opened a horrible spiritual door. I do not relish reliving this. I could not tell Fr. 5 years ago because it was terrible for me to relate to others without emotion and reliving it. But today is a much better day, a different Danny is behind the key board and God wants it out so,  it shall  be done. I am a prayer warrior who is giving what I have to God and he is my Lord and Savior too. Every situation has its benefit and I will touch on that as well.

Again, These writings will commence tomorrow.

God Bless You,

Danny

 

Let me say this I won’t leave this blog writing on a sour note so. Here is a wonderful song. No matter what we get ourselves into God will protect us once we come to him, confess to him. He can save us from peril and give us peace once again.

Turn up this song and feel the Holy Spirit Fly:  Peace !!

Laughter , Healing In so many ways!

Laughter is Healing. I laugh all the time ! Laughing allows more oxygen into my blood stream and cells, my lungs fill and stretch. It releases good endorphins into the body and clears the minds of worries and stress. The gift of a joyful Spirit is God given.

laugh·ter
ˈlaftər/
noun
  1. the action or sound of laughing.
    “he roared with laughter”
    synonyms: laughing,chuckling,chortling,guffawing,giggling,tittering,twittering,cackling,sniggering;

    informalhysterics
    “the sound of laughter”

    Laughing is a physical reaction in humans, consisting typically of rhythmical, often audible contractions of the diaphragm and other parts of the respiratory system. It is a response to certain external or internal stimuli.

    Humor come in many forms and differs from person to person. We need to be careful that it is not offensive to God and the Holy Spirit that resides within.

    But humor can be very silly and rediculous as I have learned too. Here are a few links , enjoy at your own leisure. 🙂

    I selected these links. They are pretty clean 🙂 Some guys will like some and some women will like others either way, just enjoy ! :

With Love and Laughter,

Danny

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.

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.

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,

Danny

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

      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.
