I spoke to a dear friend today and she has been such a beautiful witness to Christ in so many ways for so many people. Isn’t it funny how those who truely witness God are so unaware of the effect that they have on so many others. It is a beautiful humbleness. Amen!
She said to me I had an experience, I saw Jesus there were no words spoken but it was beautiful.
She said, I know you would understand but I did not want to scare others. I said did it bring you peace and she said yes, then i said it was a gift from God to let you know that he is in fact happy with you.
There is no fear required 🙂
Guess What ! God’s loving you all too 🙂
Ask God for a revelation in your life 🙂 Knock and he shall answer.
I am sitting here today in my chair looking out onto God’s creation and my large beech tree. The sky is milky white, there is a soft breeze moving the huge canopy of gorgeous leaves. The colors of the leaves are deep red, golden yellow and green. The squirrels are on its beaches getting the beech nuts to store for winter.
It is a beautiful thing to behold from where God’s got me in this moment. My wife and I were invited out for dinner last night to a friends home. I did not realise how much my wife and I needed this until I was there. We have been friends praise God for 20 plus years with this couple and they have traveled a similar road as us. They are part of the Cursillo community we lived our retreats at the same time in 1999 and they are very stable in their faith walk with God.
They are busy with work ,children and ageing parents and relatives but you know what, they get it done by God’s grace and are creating beauty not letting life create havoc.
Last night was just what God prescribed for all 4 of us. They are what God called us to be the salt and light to everyone, and they are.
John 15:12-15
John 15:12-15New International Version (NIV)
12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.14 You are my friends if you do what I command.15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
Get up each day no matter what and greet that day with joy and a resolve.
Its not the plight in your life that you face, no matter what it is that defines you ! Look at the dilemma you face and look at the options for creating an opportunity in that situation. Find the hidden pearl in the situation like Sue Austin did. The Holy Spirit of God is unbeleivable so jump into your life and cast your disability into the abyss and live life to its fullest.
Be God strong. You are royalty:) You are the child of a King !

“The Divine Spirit”. I have been wondering when this subject would come to the table. When I finally decided to answer the call to write this blog I thought that this subject (Divine Spirit ) would begin my writings, but the blog writings did not start that way at all. I am honored and grateful to be alive in this moment. The mercy that God has extended to me in this moment is something that I could never be able to understand or comprehend. But it serves a purpose in God’s plan. This is a season in my life that I am witnessing God’s supreme power. I see God in action in others lives and have been called to witness God to others through my life walk.
I never could exactly say how this worked, or what to call it but, I began to call what I have witnessed as the workings of The Divine Holy Spirit. I will begin to write about these very special events.
After my diagnosis, I began witnessing a presence that was emenating from my person that was far greater than me. This Divine Spirit was ministering to people, total strangers ,dealing with non believers and God made them believers in minutes. I had one doctor who was a non believer as I quicky found out. This doctor walked into the exam room this day and I began witnessing my story and once I said the word God, she was turned off. It is something that you cannot miss once you have experienced it. It definately made me feel a bit uncomfortable. My brother was there as well as a nurse R. I was sitting in the wheelchair. She took a posture on the table looking down on me sitting with one leg off the floor and one on the floor. She was so done with me, right away. I felt the HolySpirit in me Rise. Se said I heard about you and was like rolling her eyes, she looked across the room where this nurse R was sitting and at that point God decided thats enough and I addressed her. I sat there and witnesses God changing her life hopefully forever, but who knows ? People can be stubborn. God had me address her. Okay God wants to show you something and I said, but I need you to know the whole truth about my case and God. She stopped me and said show me and I said no, your not listening to God. She looked so frustrated. After a minute I heard in my head show her. So, I said wait a minute God just told me to show you. Her eyes got wide and I stood up out of the wheelchair and said Praise Jesus both my arms lifted towards the ceiling and Heavens. You see that was medically impossible because my whole left side was laid waste by the cancer and treatment. Yet God did it. She thought I was dead man walking, she did not say it , but I knew that she thought it. God knew that day that I would be there and so would she. I gave her my primary doctors name and number and told her of my Miracle healing of my shoulder and knee in Dec, 2010 I Said call him and he will confirm this. She ran out of the room. I told one of my regular doctors and they knew who she was and laughed. But knew how unprofessional that was. I met her only once but, that is all that God needed. He reached her.
That day was not about me, that day was about that lovely Dr. who did not believe that God was part of her/ our lives.
God makes us all extraordinary creatures, each one of us is created in the image of his son Jesus Christ. We are Blessed with gift of the Holy Spirit. We have his breathe sustaining our lives, and his love harkening are hearts back to him. He loves us completely and if you try to live for him he will allow you to become more of a blessing from Heaven to others. Which, in all honesty is a wonderful thing for us because not only are we blessing others by God’s grace but we are securing our place at the table of the Lord.

This is just beautiful, This is from a movie worth watching, August Rush. The point is that music has been a gift to us all. It defines periods of our lives many joyful others painful none the less they make us who we are today. We need to look for good positive things for our minds and the Holy Spirit to embrace during our day’s. I find that I need to ask so God, Whats today about ? Then I pray on it. It does not have to be long and aloborate. it just needs to be heartfelt and he will answer.
Like I always say sometimes we need silence but we also need the joy of good music to inspire us and to sooth us.
From August Rush Movie. Beautiful

My Wife and I took my son to see this production in Boston years ago. It was Donny Osmonds last performance. He became racked with fear and could not continue the tour. They said he had a knee injury but years later he admitted that he needed to step away from his career the fear on stage was crippling him.
Again, he is human like us and for him, he was treated and is back on stage and behind the camera.
It was a beautiful story brought to life before our eyes.
My son always remembers that particular event . It was Special memory for us to share and when we hear the songs its lifts the Spirit and heals us . Amen !

It was a very fun production

For my 3 girls I would be remis if I did not put theses on the blog today ! 🙂
As a follow up to the Whitney Houston Post from last week.
We have Elvis Presley another artist that passed too quickly. He was so deeply rooted in his faith and you can see by his demise in later years that drugs and alcohol took a toll on him he was only 42. Sometimes we look at other peoples lives and think the grass is a little greener but the reality is that with much wealth comes much responsibility. And if the wrong people are around because of the available finances they can crash you into the rocks.
Elvis was a very good man and had a tremendous God Given gift.
If you look at the post from Sept 23 it has the videos for Delores Hart who is a nun and was Hollywood’s highest paid Starlet. She gave Elvis his first on screen kiss. On the video links on Sr. Delores Hart say’s that what stayed with her and always will is what a wonderful and innocent man Elvis was.

The gifts that this lovely lady has really make you realize how important a connection to oneanother is. The elderly can become invisible to so many of us.
At a quick look, one would never think that this person would be so accomplished, but God is in everyone of us. And thats why we cannot judge a book by its cover. 🙂
Just beautiful ! Real People, Real Problems. God’s got them. Look at the info in Kara’s note to Brittany it sounds very similar to my post yesterday.About Jesus Christ and the gift of suffering. Two beautiful women. God Bless Them. Amen
Here is an interesting story of a lovely young women who a has terminal brain cancer such as what I was diagnosed with 2.8 years ago. I too had a very short window of life expectancy as well.
My writing today is not to confront her on her choice but rather to try and see where it comes from.I understand that she does not want to suffer, who does?
Watch the video link below and I will pick up on my thoughts and feelings afterward.
Okay, after watching this beautiful womens video I think that she is personally a very brave person. I wonder where her faith lies, or if that is part of her life.
Having been in the same seat that she is currently in ,I will say this God ‘s peace and healing was given to me during this time. I am around 2.7 or so years out from my diagnosis day and feel great.
In my case where there is life, there is hope. And when our personal hope for quality of life ends than I will still hope for a beautiful eternal life with Christ.
When I first heard those words inoperable Gleo Blastoma Multiforme grade 4. I was not deterred from doing anything that could potentially safe my life. I said okay lets see what they can do with this, God’s got it.
I got as she mentioned very large from the steriod and had all of the meds,chemo and radiation etc. So, I understand that on a personal level. That pain is not fun.
Suffering :
My faith has tought me that suffering has a purpose, I do not like it either and I am sure Jesus did not relish his crusifiction either. But his sacrafice was for us to learn and to be saved.
I have learned during my journey here and witnessed people on their death beds and what they are dealing with. I have seen the effects on their families too. I have seen families and relationship healed and years of crap was gone. I saw children and families grow in strength through the process and I have seen the ill person, calm as they came closer because they too were healing their minds and souls. They accepted the situation. We all go through it, thats for sure.
What ever sufferings that I have had are brought to the cross and my graces I offer up for others. I will offer up mine for Brittany and family as well.
Her mom mentioned a word autonomous while describing here daughter. The definition is below.
From what I have read and seen on this video, I have to assume that this life holds her treasure. Again, I sincerely mean this, Brittany Morgan has her God given right to do as she believes. It is called free will.
The way I look at this story is this, God wanted me to see this today
because I do not know how Brittany and her family feel about faith and God. It could be that Brittany was never exposed to God, Who really knows. How can we help ? I do have an option as do you .
We need to pray for her and her family. They look like such wondeful people. I know that Gods going to meet her too when her journey is complete. I know God loves her the same as he loves me.
She plans on ending her life next month Nov to end the pain.
So lets pray from healing for Brittany such as I have had in this moment.
Remember healing comes in different forms, physical, psychological, Spiritual and emotional. God knows our needs. We just need to pray.
I have mentioned in the past on my posts that we have the gift of the Holy Spirit that resides within us to help us and to guide us during our lives here.
One very important aspect that we have to consider is what we expose our selves to. Our Eyes and ears are under an assault from all that is happening in our world.
The television, shock jocks on the radio, some of the movies and rediculous commercials that are practically x rated. The Launguage, is terrible.
You know, I am no prude.
prude
pro͞od/
noun
a person who is or claims to be easily shocked by matters relating to sex or nudity.
Over the years and when something would come on that was off color in one way or the other, I would say our kids are around and they should not see this stuff.
People do not realise what they are exposing themselves to. All kinds of spiritual mumbo jumbo and toil.
Back in the day, I use to watch some stuff on tv that my mom and dad would say was nonsence. Shut it off. But, my generation was not parked on a couch with a tv and 400 stations either. Add to this situation now all the different devices that are out there that allow people to stay connected and watch shows anywhere, anytime.
I am far from perfect. But, now I get a visceral responce if someting is on , tv, music, even nonsence talk about others whatever. I am a pro now at dealing with this circumstance, I just get up and seperate myself from that situation.
I do not judge, but this junk is not for me. It doesn’t enhance my mind, spirit or intellect.
If the Holy Spirit that resides in me was not in a place where I did not fill my mind with horror stories, sex and profanity then I could not have taken on the cancer diagnosis the way that God allowed me to. I spiritually would not have been prepared. I was filled with my desire for God so there was no room for junk.
Like the food that we eat for our bodies effects our physical health so too is that true for what we take in through our ears ,eyes, and actions. They can all be an affront to us Spiritually and mentally. And if we are listening to our Holy Sprit( voice within ) then we would know this. We get convincted.
You know, If you look you can find good stuff that is funny. One night I was at a friends and he said hey this guy is on and he is a riot. So, I sat down and he put it on and within 5 minutes he was laughing and I did not get it. There were too many F bombs coming. So, he finally asked me as I was getting out of the chair to leave the room and I just said its not for me.
I always think what would Jesus do?
I just know that Jesus would not sit there either.
Affront: an action or remark that causes outrage or offense.
