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,

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.

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.

God calls us all to service. Each one of us lives to help and make life better for the next one. When we are young our minds wander and we think and sometimes worry what we are going to do when we get older? What will I be? And then there is the little voice that becomes the Big voice as we grow with faith with our God. The Holy Spirit calls us to descern what our destiny will be.

For Me, I remember being between 7 and nine years old and got the interior question, should I be a priest ? My dad and mom thought that it would be great, they said just think about it Dan, and I did. My mom had at least 3 or so counsins who were dedicated to the Lord and were nuns. They would come by to visit our home and my mom so they were very real to us. We saw the person and the nun. Nuns were people too. 🙂

I remember going up to the beach and they were there on the sand sitting with their parents etc. It was a beautiful time. I just never envisioned them on a beach and yet they were. 🙂 lol What a revelation to a kid. LOl

Having gone through the Catholic school system in the Late 60’s and 70’s I remember the nuns. Sisters of Saint Joseph taught us at St. Agnes. it was around the time of Vatican Two and the changes were happening in the church. The nuns were changing their habits. 🙂 Literally.

We had some of the sisters in the traditional long black habbits with the bright white bibs. And other sisters wearing the newer habits with the small head piece.

The habits changed but their love,devotion, and care for us their children did not. The school staff was at least 90% religious with a few lay teachers but even those lay teachers were so dedicated to their faith as well. It was a very Holy environment. It was strict and there were rules and consequences for us all.

The Parish priests made it their business to get to the school and would make their presence known. It was a big deal for us kids for them to come by. ( thats a future writing ).

Every morning the nuns would come out of the convent and would enter the school together and open their classrooms.

When the bell rang in the school yard, Everyone formed lines and each child orderly followed their teacher in lines of 2 and quietly followed them into the school.

I had a problem with the quiet part 🙂 lol. I got detention a lot. I cleaned a whole lot of chaulk boards and erasers. The nuns had no problem staying late to allow their students to learn the boundaries and decipline. They did not have a job, they had a ministry. They were God’s brides and they were doing the most important job in society helping to grow future leaders of the church and society.

I could go on and on. I miss the nuns , I miss the huge May Processions. I miss the faithful packing the church. So many changes but is all change good ? I do not think so.

I remember all the nuns in church all the time it was a special time.

And yet, The nuns took vows of poverty, chastity etc. They were servants of God.

You know I hear all the time to pray for the religious life vocations. Which makes me want to ask this,  Did God stop calling people to religious life ? I do not think so. I think society is not listening? What use to be a noble and proud service for God is now some how uncool? Only God knows the reason for this taking place.

 

Well, for me at the age of nine or so the voice of priesthood quieted in my head. As I grew in years  I just knew that I was not cut from that cloth to be a priest. To be a great priest you need to be there 24 hours a day and need to be very strong in faith to fight the barrage of stuff being put upon you. I was not that person and God led me to my beautiful wife so, I know that God did not intend me for that special service. He expected me to pray and think about the invite though. I was intended to be a son,husband, dad and friend. My own life ministry I guess we can call it 🙂 You have one too. 🙂

When I see the culture laughing and making jokes about these special people it comes from one place. evil. Making fun of a servent who is given their lives to Honor God is not funny. It is in this case ……..

A song came back to me today and I went in search of it and tried to find what the meaning of the song was. I remember being in grade school and this song was very popular. It was in regards to St. Michael the Archangel. God and his angels are with us constantly. This song is the part of the rich fabric of my Catholic upbringing.

And, I loved the nuns too. A writing for another day.

The highwaymen  Michael Row Your Boat Ashore.

 

By Kim Ruehl

History of “Michael Row the Boat Ashore”

“Michael Row the Boat Ashore” is an old American folk song that hails from the slave era, and became a popular anthem during the civil rights movement. Its existence was first noted in the early 1860s, although the song itself is probably much older. The song was noted in letters between teachers and abolitionists, who heard it while on St. Helena Island in South Carolina.

“Michael Row the Boat Ashore” Lyrics

Most people nowadays probably only know the refrain from this traditional song, which repeats “Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah” twice. The full song, however, talks about crossing the River Jordan, and Michael is the archangel Michael. While there are many versions of the song—due to the fact that it was passed down orally for a long time before being recorded—the lyrics basically talk about finding God and one’s family on the other side of the river in the promised land:O the Lord he plant his garden there.
He raise the fruit for you to eat.
He that eat shall never die.
When the river overflow.

Pete Seeger has noted that, since the song was found in the islands off South Carolina, it may be indicative of a work song that the slaves sung as they were rowing to the mainland. In the more mainstream version recorded by Seeger (purchase/download), he sings also of the familial calls of the song:

Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah

Who has recorded “Michael Row the Boat Ashore”?

Several popular versions of “Michael Row the Boat Ashore” have been recorded through the years. In addition to Pete Seeger’s version, the song has also been recorded by Harry Belafonte ( purchase/download ), Peter, Paul and Mary (purchase/download ) and the Nields ( purchase/download ).

Life is not a cake walk and we have to see the positive in it and not allow ourselves to become down and put out in any way shape or form. No Way ! God calls us all to Victory through him.

News Boys Stay Strong.

I just had to cancel my Dana Farber appointment for tomorrow because I not only have a recurring sciatic nerve condition that has been with me for at least 4-5 weeks now, but I also had a tooth extracted and its effects are lingering. The final piece was a sore throat that started Saturday a post nasal drip arrived and finally the cough.So, tomorrow I will not go for a scan but will see my Regular doctor for a sick call.

This is just lifes twists and turns and a reminder that we need to hang tough and be flexable. My family is disappointed because they kind of count the days to my scans. And my wife has altered her work schedule yet again.

As part of my last writing on 9-15 about the effects that I feel that my illness has had on my life and those that are part of it is.

There are so many guy things I used to do, husband things, dad things etc. You will understand what I am saying.  My wife, kids and family have had to assume so many of my responsibilities .

But I am not allowing this to change my mind set. Not one bit. I am kicking this life in the butt and finding out the new person that God is creating in me. Amen !

For my beautiful bride 🙂 xox

Love never fails.

 

My wife does not complain too much even though she is tired alot. She just does  what needs to get done.

God gave me his peace but he not only made me a witness to everyone of what he can do but more importantly God has opened my eyes to witness everyone in my life to see what true love is and what true sacrafice are all about. Starting with my wife, children, family and all of friends from so many areas of my life some have been friends for decades now. The type of friend you pick up the phone and talk to and it could be years and that does not matter, time collapses back and we are in the moment. Now, that is a gift !

This week my wife had to go places on her own. Church, grad party etc. I find myself all the time just saying , go and have fun. I want her to, but I also know that she is longing too for the good old days when being spontaneous and in the moment were the norm..

As far as the scan goes, I am not worried. I would prefer to go tomorrow but, obviously that is not God’s plan. So, we will see what is in store for the day.

The wedding vows my wife and I took over 28 years ago are being lived everyday by us here. Because God is here with us. God’s love is perfect.  As difficult as it can be in our lives in any given moment , life  is still very beautiful.

Love is….

It boils down to this today at Casa del Danny 🙂

I look as my medical circumstances today as a challenge that will in Gods time be straightened out. My wife feels that way as well . My doctor has told us that if the cancer was to re-e·merge that I would know it. And asside from the throat, mouth and my back I feel great !! 🙂   LOl Aint life beautiful. 🙂

 

Lets have some fun 🙂    My wife loved this song, when were younger.

What resounds in my heart today, is how fragile we all are. I have never really discussed on my blog as a guy what my diagnosis with a terminal cancer had meant in that moment to me, my family, my parents, siblings and my friends.

This could be a long writing but I will break it into peices over a period of time. Upon receiving the news about my friend Paul yesterday it was so close to home for me that when in prayer last night , I had his whole family unit and friends in my large web of thoughts and prayer.My wife and I met Paul and Linda 20 years ago and were neighbors for 10 years and have remained friends since our move to a different home in town.

I know what I felt like after I was diagnosed personally and I felt like I had let my family down. I wrote once that to me,  I felt that I was my wifes knight in shining armour and had fallen off the horse. I felt that I had failed my wife and family. I really beat myself up for a while over this.. My wife did not feel that way. And, as I grew in my awareness of what this situation truely was and where God was in it. I realized that what happened to me was not of my doing it is a condition that God had never intended for us either.

If you have read my blog you would know that God made it clear to myself and doctors through the Holy Spirit that …. I had cancer, cancer was not of God and that I do not own this cancer. And, I never did.

Well,

That goes for my friend Paul and you all as well. We are all the same in God’s eye’s. He loves us all so much ! cancer and evil is not of God, period !

But, he will get us through , Amen !

You know,  recently ( two weeks ago) , my wife and I were sitting in the family room here and she reminded me of how Paul and Linda had come to visit one night after my diagnosis and Paul had to get me out of the sofa, I was so weak.  I remember being stuck and not being able to get up and out of it. We are all our brothers keepers. For anyone who is currently not well, think positive thoughts, trust in God and expect healing. Pray and visit healing services too. God answers all prayers. Look for the angels in your life. I have too many angels in my life to count. Thank you God ! 🙂 xo

Remember to laugh always no matter what !

I will continue on this topic shortly. Hope abounds !!!!!!
