Post on post-T-day - Day 6

Great day today spending time with my sons - mostly football, and football of course.  MSU beat Ole Miss and Florida was working on a shutout last i saw.  The most interesting game was the one that took place in the front yard - Max and Sam and Dad.  We don't keep score, though there always seems to be just a few seconds left in the game - every play - and we need a touchdown to win.  (We always seem to win as any incomplete passes are of course ruled in our favor as pass interferrence.)  Just fun in the front yard - the imagination of a child and the ability to win in all last minute situations.  Sounds like some good rules for faith.

God Bless to all, hope you had a thankful day with your family or friends and reflected on what is most important in your life.  Thanks be to God.

Love,

Church in the Cosmos - Day 5

We had Church tonight at the jail and enjoyed a wonderful thanksgiving buffet afterward.  There is something beautiful about the assembly of people in this place, what has happened in the Spirit transforming them and working through them inside and outside the walls of that prison.  There were about 100 people - residents, friends, family and children.  The service tonight did not have any testimony time but that is a regular part of each worship.  We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the testimony or witness of our word - His Word.  That's really what this blog is all about and the website i have been chinking on for many years.  Just a testimony to fellow Jesus followers out there, and to those that have not yet opened their hearts to God.

The cosmos is a pretty big place and the God, our God that created it all put us here for a reason.  If you have something to say about your faith and belief in a Carpenter that happened to be the Son of God then speak up.  Minister to one another through the Word of our testimony - a testimony of words and walk through the heavens.

Love and Blessings

Edification on Cleaning Tombstones - Day 4

I was thinking of the post a few days ago about the Red Sky Prophecy as foretold by Grandfather Stalking Wolf.  One of the texts has continually rung back at me... i didn't quite see the connection to cleaning tombstones that morning to the lessons from that prophecy.  i have long been a follower and reader of Stalking Wolf - Tom Brown Jr. - and have that profound connection to Creator / creation...

Grandfather taught, "The Earth is dying. The destruction of man is close, so very close, and we must all work that path of destruction. We must pay for the sins of our grandfathers and grandmothers [Editor's note: a concept taught in Christian scripture] for we have long been a society that kills its grandchildren to feed its children. There can be no rest, and we cannot run away; far too many in the past have run away. It is very easy to live the spiritual life away from man, but the truth of the Vision, in spiritual life, can be tested and become a reality when lived near society."

Reflecting on Dadhood - Day 3

  Beautiful day today...  Blue Sky, cool temps, and time with my sons.  Watching them grow up is really a gift and one that i truly have missed with my daughter.  My sons are growing fast and maturing.  They are coming of age and watching them grow and learn is a blessing.  i have missed so much at times, i have missed this closeness with my daughter and regret not being a real Dad, someone that was always there, when she most needed me.
  We have been separated from each other for way too long and there are days when my heart aches because of that separation.  You see children are a part of us, and we are part of them.  They possess portions of our hearts and the goodness that is inherent in each of us.  i believe that.  i have to reach back out to her in faith because you see, she makes me want to be a better Dad and the man that i was created to be - the Spiritual leader of the family. Hopeful restoration of our relationship is something that i continually pray about.  Today i leave us in God's hands.

God Bless Sweetie - Love You - 2i+beyond

Red Sky - Washing White Tombstones (Day2?)

Today was a bit odd...  Prior to heading out to a clients' home to do some landscape maintenance, i received a call and was told that i would be washing tombstones today - those of his family.  While doing the work, i came through various thoughts that questioned what impact and effect that those before us have had.  What did they do with their lives and how did they affect others?  Were they close to the Spirit, or were they self-absorbed and living a life driven by flesh?  Time is short, very short when you think about it, and we have only so many days in our lives to make a positive impact, a selfless impact toward helping others and taking care of this gift of a planet.

Tonight we were talking - late night chats around the sofa - and the Red Sky Prophecy came up as a topic.  i printed out the text and read back through it again.  Clear direction and vision from Grandfather. ->http://www.wolflodge.org/visibiliti/prophecy/redsky.htm

Digging Bricks - Day 1?

Every now and then, i come across a pile of bricks, scraps of wood or various throw away items (you know the old adage.. one man's junk is another man's treasure.), and so, i collect things from time to time. Bricks, plants, composting matter and dirt of course, old pottery, metal work, wood... Today i was collecting worms for the compost pile. Eventually the piles of collectibles have to be sifted and organized and maybe even put to use. Well, i happen to have a lot of piles of stuff - time to organize them and put them to use.


i don't know if this is day one or just somewhere along the time-stream into the process of this project already. i'll have to get my 10 year old mathematician son on cyferin'. He said, "You know, Dad. We still have to finish figuring out that 977 thing." i am being obscure here on purpose, and partly because i am still putting this project together. 977 was a number given to me back in 2007, when the Spirit of God completely filled me and i was blessed to experience God walking in me while i could see the world as He sees. This lasted for two weeks.

Sorry to have been away so long. i started this blog for a daily blurb on what it is like walking a life of faith in Jesus Christ - following Him in The Way. This is for encouragement to all out there walking the same walk. Journaling always helps to refer back to as well - it is a comforting confirmation when i am able to read something written in the past that pertains to what is currently happening in life.
