An interview with God, its late in the day and I stop over at the office, working late again. What would you like to say to your followers and non-followers? God "Be ready" Would you like to be more specific with a timeline? God "read my book". Would we happen to be at the end of the book? God "haven't you read the book" Its a little hard to understand. God "I'm coming". That's going to be an awesome day. God "for some". The book will finally be finished. God "Amen". We know the book, beginning, middle and end. God "live the book". Is there anything else you would like to say O'God? Its late.*************** How we wish for the day of the Lord, looking for his coming and trying to hasten it. How we would wish to hear 2014 congratulations! the Lord has made his appointment with you. We know the Lord has his day, can he blame us for wanting it as soon as possible. Waiting is not easy, we hope all will want to see the day of the Lord for it will be the end of an era and the beginning of a new book, the book of life with God, face to face for eternity. This book is the one Adam and Eve ditched for our own book of life which includes good and evil. The characters who live in our book are a mixed bunch according to their preference. Those who do not like evil really are not going to object having evil written out of the story line.

SAINT LYDWINA of SCHIEDAM Virgin (1380-1433) - St Lidwina saw in Purgatory a soul that suffered also for mortal sins not sufficiently expiated on earth. The incident is thus related in the Life of the saint. A man who had been for a long time a slave of the demon of impurity, finally had the happiness of being converted. He confessed his sins with great contrition, but, prevented by death, he had not time to atone by just penance for his numerous sins. Lidwina, who knew him well, prayed much for him. Twelve years after his death she continued to pray, when, in one of her ecstasies, being taken into Purgatory by her angel-guardian, she heard a mournful voice issuing from a deep pit. "It is the soul of that man" said the angel, "for whom you have prayed with much fervour and constancy." She was astonished to see him so deep in Purgatory twelve years after his death. The angel, seeing her so greatly affected, asked if she was willing to suffer something for his deliverance. "With all my heart," replied the charitable maiden. From that moment she suffered new pains and frightful torments, which appeared to surpass the strength of human endurance. Nevertheless, she bore them with courage, sustained by a charity stronger than death, until it pleased God to send her relief. She then breathed as one restored to a new life, and, at the same time, she saw that soul for which she had suffered so much come forth from the abyss as white as snow and take its flight to Heaven. Taken from: Purgatory Explained(pp 89-90) Authored by: Father F.X. Shouppe, S.J.

The first sacrifice for mankind was an animal in the garden to provide clothing for him. Adam and Eve would see death as a result of their new condition of survival, the animals would be sacrifice as food, as clothing, their life would be intertwined with death, nothing would be able to escape the death sentence. Most heart piercing would be the violent, senseless death, mankind killing each other. Death as a consequence of sin would put an end to the natural elements but would be unable to penetrate the supernatural elements of being created in the image and likeness of God. Mankind would live without the natural until restored by God in the new Eden he will proclaim over this earth. The animals we have hope God will restore for their uniqueness and personalities in his ability to bring forth life out of stones should he choose to, nothing would be impossible for him. Death and sin will be hurled into the abyss, a far greater warning and punishment for those who would choose to continue with the serpent in disobedience. We all experience the first death, we will not all experience the second death, complete detachment from God, from life, from love, from good, from creation. God has clothed us in our nakeness and it was a sacrifice, God has restored us in his Son and it was a sacrifice, we caused the sacrifice, the least we should do is add our sacrifice to that of God's. We learn from God and we live with God, a way of life now and forever.

Fido, No! A pet owner who loves his/her dog will not be afraid of raising ones voice to stop an unwanted behavior or result. Fido might think that mushroom will be delicious but you say No! Fido might think that snake is fair game but you say No! When Fido stops because of your No! you are relieved because harm was avoided. Fido doesn't hold your No! against you, doesn't love you anyless because you're in charge, your knowledge and wisdom is a blessing for Fido. Move up the ladder in saying No! to your own flesh and blood and more feelings and emotions and challenges result from "Fido". You are fulfilling your role as guardian, Fido's free will decides to listen or not listen, sometimes with penalties of freedom. You are still the higher power with food, water and shelter and do put your foot down when necessary. In your home, you will always be on top of the pecking order. Move up the ladder, to the Creator of the Universe and all the Fido's below him, does he too say No! Happy is he when he sees Fido stop and listen to his voice. The Master of all loves Fido but will not be replaced by him.

St.Fidelis of Sigmaringen (1577-1622)- It is because of faith that we exchange the present for the future. ************** Woe to me if I should prove myself but a halfhearted soldier in the service of my thorn-crowned Captain.

The final score, the final battle, the final tally, the winners, the losers,the celebration, the desolation, the crowning, the dethroning, the kingdom of God, the place of separation, the joy, the misery, the glory, the shame, the humble, the proud, the thankful, the ungrateful, the believers, the unbelievers, the union, the discord, the love, the hate, the neighbor, the self, God's will, my will, the reward, the punishment, the inheritance, the abdication, the free, the confined, the angels, the demons, Almighty God, Almighty Wannabe. Two different teams, two different captains, two different outcomes, each captain proclaims a victorious outcome, one warns of the disastrous defeat of the opponent, the other proclaims a win by default for no such opponent exists. Those who are counting on a win by default will react just like scriptures says when confronted with the opposition and realize beyond doubt, there's going to be a winner and there's going to be a loser, damn!

Pride, the making of a demon. God allows free spirits human and angelic to push the envelope, to test the resolve of the almighty, to foolishly grow bolder in defiance. One voice is heard in heaven, it has crossed a line, it challenges a degree of God. The lone wolf emboldens other voices to speak, should God take a vote, should he consult with his subjects first before issuing a command, should he back off after seeing ruly objections, shall we counsel the Most High! The Creator is not lacking in any area that needs our help. Creator and Creature has very distinct differences, one knows, the other learns, one is, one becomes, one subsist, one depends and the list could go on and on. We have been brought forth from God who is a unity, there is no dissension as if that is needed to be truly free and great. We have been invited to join the Trinity in everlasting life, a communion of the deepest union. Of course, we can go rogue and tell the Trinity unless they change and evolve to be open to diversity of wills, I'm out! Some have taken this course of action, knowing if defeated they will lose all, pride to do ones will supercedes the logic of consequences. The first demons with their High Prince gave themselves through pride a chance of succeeding, the future generations of demons will give their wills the go ahead through many different reasons. there is no hell, there is no God, I'll make amends later, etc. etc. Those who are bent on doing their will above the will of God will roll the dice and hope they are the highest morality to fear. Many demons have put their stamp on many issues, God will not be a God of many wills so they will embrace their cause to the point of opting out of union with the Trinity who they most likely will not acknowledge exists. When presented with reality and the everlasting dwelling place their will inherits they curse and hate God, like they really loved him on earth. The will of God blesses and brings forth good fruit, all opposing wills bring darkness and will be held accountable for the harm they did to his creation. All will see the consequences of their will and God who loves like no other invites us to come and be apart of the one will that blesses and bears good fruit, the will that brought us forth.

Saint Veronica Giuliani (1660-1727), had memorable visions of Hell. Here are some extracts: February 14, 1694, she saw Hell opened. Many souls were falling into it, hideous and black, and terrifying to behold. They disappeared into the middle of the flames ... She could hear the howls and blasphemies of the damned, and with it all there was a stench, and horrible darkness. January 27, 1716, Mary, appearing to the saint, summoned two angels to be her guardians and lead her in spirit to the gates of Hell ... She found herself facing a darksome place, deep and stinking, out of which came noises of animals, the hissing of snakes, dreadful voices, and claps of thunder. She perceived a tall mountain, all covered with serpents and vipers. Curses were issuing from beneath them, then the mountain opened and seemed to be full of damned souls and demons holding them bound with chains of fire ... She saw other mountains, the scenes of torments even more cruel. In the center of this infernal abode was raised up a throne. There sat Lucifer, a frightful sight to see. He seemed to have a head-piece composed of a hundred heads, all stuck with spears, and on the butt of each there was a sort of eye, emitting spurts of fire, which set all Hell ablaze. The number of demons and damned was incalculable; yet each of these beheld this horrible head and received from Lucifer torment upon torment. He saw them all, and all of them saw him. "Here," she said, "my angels gave me to understand that, just as in Heaven the sight of God brings happiness to all the saints, so here in Hell that dreadful form of Lucifer, that hellish monster, brings torment to the damned. Their greatest punishment is loss of God; this is the pain that Lucifer endures the first of all, and then the rest of them participate in it. He blasphemes, and all blaspheme; he curses, and so do they; he suffers and is in torture, and all suffer and are in torture too. "I believe," she said finally, "that if I had not had my angels with me, and had not been fortified by my dear Mother, I would have died of horror. All I have told of it is a mere nothing, and all that I have heard of it from preachers is nothing at all, when compared with what I saw." ~~~***~~~~During another vision Jesus showed Sister Veronica hell, where the souls of unrepentant sinners chose to go to spend their eternity in its fiery depths, Sister Veronica wrote down in her dairy what she saw. "At that moment I was once again shown hell opened, and it seems that many souls descended there, and they were so ugly and black that they struck terror in me." This holy sister upon seeing such a sight begged our Lord for mercy and prayed before the Divine Justice, with outstretched arms, "as long as I stand in the doorway, no one shall enter: O souls go back! My God, I ask nothing of You, but the salvation of sinners, Send me more torments, more crosses!" Our Lady appeared before Veronica and said to her, "Many do not believe that hell exists, and I tell you that you yourself, who have been there, have understood nothing of what hell is."

To be like gods! The battle cry rings out through the universe, the army of gods prepare to take on the forces of the servants of God. Winner takes all, pride can invoke a foolish undertaking, overestimating ones ability to conquer an opponent. The highest, most powerful, most intelligent Angel turns rogue and will put his abilities to the test in challenging the rule and order of the kingdom of God, better to be destroyed then to be a servant. They would not glorify God with their beings by submitting to the wisdom of God and his plan for eternity. The bus stops here for them, the image they have of themselves will not be alter or tampered with, they are glorious, intelligent spirits who will not lose the identity. God asks to much! He must back off or lose a portion of his kingdom! They do not know God for what is glorious in his sight is opposite to their preception of greatness. One too many gods in this place as the battle ensues with the expulsion of the gods of heaven. The gods of heaven know their time is short before the final battle where God has established his rule and reign in heaven and earth. They extend their message to mankind, to be like gods! That's right get off the bus for those who want to enjoy all the pleasures of the flesh, get off the bus to those who would have no God above them, get off the bus to those who seek their own will to that of God, join the forces of gods that rather take the chance of destruction rather then lose their identity. God asks to much! He must back off or lose a portion of his kingdom! God has indeed lossed a portion of his kingdom but when its all said and done there will be one God, the gods who chose to oppose him kept their identity, kept their hatred to the will of God, kept their darkness to truly what is great.

A world of beliefs crisscrosses the globe. My mind believes this, my mind believes that, my will responds to my conclusions about life. A christian sees through the mind of Christ ,acknowledges a supremacy above ones own knowledge. The mind of a creature that has the capability to make moral decisions which will result in a good effect or evil effect bare a responsibility to society for its decisions. Society will not tolerate some decisions made by its members, it will lock up, fine, put on probation, and possibly eliminate the presence all together from its midst. Those who disregard society's rules and regulations, have put themselves above the law and rolls the dice against being caught and punished by those laws. The more disfunctional a society and its ability to prosecute offenders the more lawlessness rules the land. We are all happy if we live in a country that has the ability to enforce its law so every moment is not lived in utter terror and fear. Even the strongest nations have those elements who have put themselves above the good of society and sow their destruction. Eventually, whether punished by society or eliminated by death the free will and power of individuals will come to an end. Thank God for death, for those who might escape from society will not escape from God and his commands for this world and the next. Evil has a moment of opportunity but never an endless one. Had death not been instituted in the garden, the army of evil would have been tremendous, at least now they must keep replenishing their troops to carry out the destruction of God's creation and creatures. God, the Creator is the lawgiver above all, those who wish to dwell in his kingdom will adhere to his wisdom in knowing good and evil, there is no other God. We will rely on a wisdom and a philosophy that guides our will. Our will proclaims to the world I serve God, I do not serve God, we are accountable before God for our actions because we are like gods who know good and evil thus we are judged for the results of our decisions. We can pretend our knowledge will not be judged but God will have no other gods beside him, we will freely decide for or against God. His Kingdom will be of one heart, one mind, one will.

Jesus' words to Saint Faustina: In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolds to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart. (1588)************** It's a sign for the end times; after it will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of My mercy; let them profit from the Blood and Water which gushed forth for them. (848) Before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the doors of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the doors of My mercy must pass through the doors of My justice... (114)************************ In spite of being so richly endowed with extraordinary graces, Sr. Mary Faustina knew that they do not in fact constitute sanctity. In her Diary she wrote: Neither graces, nor revelations, nor raptures, nor gifts granted to a soul make it perfect, but rather the intimate union of the soul with God. These gifts are merely ornaments of the soul, but constitute neither its essence nor its perfection. My sanctity and perfection consist in the close union of my will with the will of God (Diary 1107).

(Once upon a time- cont') The dragon covered with fruit retreated and the tree came back to earth, seething with anger the dragon plotted its next move. I'll use my great brain to defeat that sucker, it will be no match! The dragon sent in a termite to do as much damage as possible but discreetly. The termite got to work, a nibble here, a nibble there, until the tree feeling a little discomfort spotted the invader and fired from tree limb #9 with a direct hit . The fruit covered termite retreated muttering as he went rule #101 attacked the weak not the healthy, are you insane! With the termite out of commission, the dragon paced back and forth thinking, the tree is healthy, it can grow when needed, its fruit is ready for action, what's its secret? Looking long and hard at the tree, the dragon realized it must be the soil that is making this tree great, he must get the tree to leave that ground. His next course of action is to enlist the help of a beautiful bird to entice the tree to leave and follow the bird to a new, wondrous forest of delights. The friendship is struck up with the bird singing and playing, resting to the delight of the little tree, a friend indeed. The bird breaks the news he must leave and for the tree to follow, a team they'd be! The heart broken tree filled with sorrow pulls one root out of the ground, the dragon from afar can barely contain his joy as he watches his plan unfold. The little tree pulls out another root with one more to go as he looks down at the last root he sees mother and her gentle touch, he cherishes this gound which has made him the tree he is and rejects the offer to leave. Though heartbroken the tree straightens up and sees what he never saw before, a tree that can and will survive because his foundation is rooted in the best of soil and he became a tree that could not be moved. The dragon couldn't stand the sight of the tree that he couldn't push over, couldn't destroy, couldn't root up, he would try again and again, every defeat brought him one step closer to insanity and in fact the dragon was locked up and the tree flourished with much fruit and many friends. The end.

Once upon a time, there was a garden where everything was fair. Peace, harmony, love filled the air, until one day a dragon came and huffed and puffed and blew all the trees down. One little tree in the middle of the garden was barely standing. The dragon outrage tooked a deep breath and blew as hard as he could at the little tree but with no success. Furious beyond words, the dragon stomped his feet and preceded forward, he opened his mouth with razor sharp teeth and as he was about to eat, the tree grew a thousand feet. That which was large was now small, that which was small was now large, the tree rained down its fruit upon the dragon with great success. The dragon dare not mess with a tree who can rise to the occasion when prompted.

St. Isidore of Seville : Prayer purifies us, reading instructs us. Both are good when both are possible. Otherwise, prayer is better than reading. ************** If a man wants to be always in God's company, he must pray regularly and read regularly. When we pray, we talk to God; when we read, God talks to us. *************** All spiritual growth comes from reading and reflection. By reading we learn what we did not know; by reflection we retain what we have learned. **************** Reading the holy Scriptures confers two benefits. It trains the mind to understand them; it turns man's attention from the follies of the world and leads him to the love of God. ************** The conscientious reader will be more concerned to carry out what he has read than merely to acquire knowledge of it. In reading we aim at knowing, but we must put into practice what we have learned in our course of study. *************** The more you devote yourself to study of the sacred utterances, the richer will be your understanding of them, just as the more the soil is tilled, the richer the harvest. ************** The man who is slow to grasp things but who really tries hard is rewarded, equally he who does not cultivate his God-given intellectual ability is condemned for despising his gifts and sinning by sloth. ************* Learning unsupported by grace may get into our ears; it never reaches the heart. But when God's grace touches our innermost minds to bring understanding, his word which has been received by the ear sinks deep into the heart.

Swindler, cheat, deciever, fraud, phony, liar, the victims of the garden at least had a warning but the promised returns were to tempting for them to pass up. How many people have been scammed since the profession was passed down from generation to generation. Adam and Eve do not get much sympathy that their exchange did not turn out as plan. The world will not know the Gods of Eden, nor will they take their place on Mt. Olympus with their fellow Gods, nope, the upgrade was the first fable conceived in the world. Adam and Eve bought the story line to find out its a work of fiction. At least, they came back to reality and a true story. Their life would now be on the guard for the many plots that would try to involve them as characters, they would be vigilant so as not to be victims again. The storyteller is still out there spinning his fables none of which promote the book of God.

Trick or Treat! The door opens with a trash bag in sight, the owner pulls out a banana peel and a empty can of beans and says, one for you and one for you. The door closes and the stun characters react in disbelief with their goodies, they've been tricked! Garbage instead of candy, of course, mother did say avoid the house on 666 Serpentonious dr. but all the lights were on, and its so impressive. Back at home, mother inquires about the candy hunt with good results being reported, a wiff of banana and beans is detected by mother who looks at the characters with their fingers pointing at each other. Dad walks in, 666 Serpentonious Dr. still passing out its trash. Nobody likes to be tricked with garbage, the bag is for sweet eatables only, the nerve! Worse, is for the banana peel and empty can of beans to be counted among the treasures of the bagholder, a confusion of delights. We are all bagholders and what's in our bags depends on whose house we've gone to, trick or treat.

St. Jane Frances de Chantal : "Should you fall even fifty times a day, never on any account should that surprise or worry you. Instead, ever so gently set your heart back in the right direction and practice the opposite virtue, all the time speaking words of love and trust to our Lord after you have committed a thousand faults, as much as if you had committed only one. Once we have humbled ourselves for the faults God allows us to become aware of in ourselves, we must forget them and go forward." ****One way Jane shared her blessings was by giving bread and soup personally to the poor who came to her door. Often people who had just received food from her would pretend to leave, go around the house and get back in line for more. When asked why she let these people get away with this, Jane said, "What if God turned me away when I came back to him again and again with the same request?"

A bad dream is being without clothes when you really prefer not to be a nudist, then you wake up and say thank God it was only a dream, whew! We know how Adam and Eve felt, they felt exposed and uncomfortable. When they were in the presence of God they had no problems with their appearance, now they are looking in the eyes of their worst nightmare, the recognition of evil. Goodbye paradise, hello 2013. The discovery of nudity has been a blockbuster revelation for the Serpentonious Institute of Knowledge with all of its possibilities to enhance and enrich its students, learn from the master himself! Adam and Eve dropped out after the first class.

Who told you that you were naked? Adam thinks a moment, God answers the question, you have eaten, then, from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat! The knowledge of good and evil seen through the eyes of evil will see a different image of good. Adam and Eve now have glasses on to see with "new eyes". Evil has guaranteed they will know good and evil and it will not be the same good and evil from God's perspective. For what God calls evil the new vision will call good, what God calls good the new vision will try to blurr as best it can. The glasses from hell can do alot of damage, God will not leave mankind to suffer permanent blindness to what truly is good and what truly is evil, he will shine his light into the minds eye to see through the glasses of good and evil prepared by Dr. Serpentonious with hopefully little or no effect. Even if a struggle should ensue between the vision of God and the vision of evil we need to always try to see from the perspective of Good not the fleeting moments of a fantasyworld that indulges all the passions in a movie directed by Serpentonious Productions & Co.

Your eyes will be opened! Eye doctor Serpentonious pulls into town with a banner on his wagon "See what you've been missing". Yes ladies and gentlemen this here fruit is no ordinary fruit, it will open your eyes to see things you never saw before, you will feel invincible! Same old sales pitch with promising results, the miracle fruit is all you need. We see the effects of the "miracle fruit", and most noticeably is the turning away from God. The first couple hid from God, they were not about to meet him as usual because they had changed, they were naked and afraid , they had sinned. Sin is harmful to oneself, to others, to ones relationship with God. Death, evil, separation, fear, now will be apart of the world and their life. To confess is not easy, Adam and Eve would rather just stay behind the trees, that's what sin does, once committed one has a hard time bringing it forth in the open and the light. The only way forward is to come out of the trees and be reconciled with God. God is always calling, "where are you" , he knows its not easy for the naked to come forth but he himself will clothes us with his love and presence and guidance. The flock has grown through the years, and God himself has appointed shepherds to help him care for the needs of all, from feeding to washing, to guiding, to calling, a blessed way of life.

Your life Sucks! A disturbed spirit is heard in the garden, and God is your problem! He is prohibiting you from being great, from being free, from being the master of your own destiny, revolt, stand up and be like the most high! The logic of the society of "Creatures without God". Their first campaign got a membership of a third of heaven, their second campaign is looking for a 50% or more boost from their earthly constituents where their feeling good going into the final election. Polls are trending in their favor even suggesting a landslide victory. The society of "Creatures without God" will relocate to a dwelling befitting their name. The fire of hatred of God will consume them, they can reject him but they can't escape his commands and the consequences of those commands, foolish to think there is no commandments! God loves me, the question will be will I love God or will I be my own God, obviously if I'm my own God, I'm going to obey only what I command, reality will come one day to my Godhood, Life Sucks! I'm in Prison and cannot even get a drop of water and its all Gods fault ! We know in the final separation of good and evil there will be a group who will truly believe Life Sucks! and a group who will truly believe Life is Good!

A suckers bet in the garden, "You shall not die". Death is a huge gamble to get right or wrong, a huge stake on the table, at least get insurance with confronting God with the new dealer in town and the offer that has been made. Get Dad, the sheriff, to play the hand, I'm sure no table would be found and no bet to be made, no suckers in this town. Adam and Eve didn't have to bet their life to hit the jackpot, with a greater life, a greater wisdom and power, they had a great life and soon would regret putting it on the table. The dealer does not do do-overs, they gave their life and in exchange would get as much hell as possible from evil. Good and Evil will not be friends but enemies and now will fight for the world and its children.

Let there be! God speaks the word and it comes to pass, man thinks of a project or experiment and he will try to bring that forth which is in his mind. Some minds are not equal, some abilities to get the project to succeed are not equal but the desire to go within oneself and to bring that out has created the world and has added enhancements to it. God shares with man the development of the world and man brings out which is in his mind some of which will not be stamped with "God found it very good". Adam and Eve would bring forth children out of the love which they shared for each other , no need for pen and paper somethings will have a special stamp "God found it very good" probably in gold letters for that which comes out of love is special. We know everything God creates has his love in it and is special and amazing but man and woman was a special act of God, his image and likeness was imparted, we are a part of the family of God.

Court convenes in the Garden, with all parties present the case begins: Your honor, the woman you put here with me gave me the fruit and so I ate it. Your honor, the snake tricked me into it, so I ate it. With no further comments the Judge hands down his verdict, guilty. The offense had a mandatory death sentence that the defendents chose to gamble on, their life will be cut short and conditions will be harder, piss off the Judge with your answers and get a few more condtions tacked on. The defendents leave the court, that didn't go well, the pass the buck defense failed miserably with this Judge, something hopefully they learned from and reflected on that the buck stops here. God cannot have this couple be the first teachers of the world to pass on to their children irresponsiblity, "its not my fault". Faults will have to be dealt with and hopefully a progressing forward and not backward or sideways will occur. We have to live with ourselves and hopefully we will find that peace that surpasses all understanding by being united to the will of our Creator. I exist because of another, everything I have is a gift, I am loved and am able to love, I will live forever with the most unbelievable Creator in an unbelievable Kingdom, I shall want for nothing.

cont.) The last image of the Tree of Life in the garden is with a high ranking Angel and a fiery revolving sword, no stealing from this tree. The garden was cleaned up and nothing deserving a curse was found in it. The man and woman were to be caretakers of this garden and to multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. This would be a special meeting place for God and mankind. Now the doors have been shut, the locks put on, the guard outside. God and man would meet again but with alot of interferences and clandestine meetings in mountains, deserts, crowded cities, some will believe,some will not. God would try again to have a special meeting place for mankind to meet him, and this exchange would be like no other. Sacrifice from the beginning with blood, with hunger, with hardships, God has become Man and will offer all he has to enable the doors to be open, the locks to be broken, the guards to welcome all who would come to him and be healed, a ministry of love he would share with others. United in ministry to serve God and to be of service to others , the hungry Adam, aided by angels would put into motion the beginning of the long awaited restoration. The United Kingdom of God will be the prevailing family left standing, some will be saying Bon Appetit! and some will not, yet all were invited to the party, God is all in all.

(cont.) Since being expelled from paradise the couple must regroup, they have to let go of the mistakes made, the pointing the finger , the splintering of the relationship from being a we to me and me. We know they did not go their separate ways in this new world but took it one day at a time as they battle many battles from nature, to self, to the enemy. They've been thrown into war and they will fight to persevere until the end. War is ugly, and its good to have hospitals, doctors, nurses, friends, family, even strangers to aid the wounded. Best of all, faith in the Tree of Life which God has replanted in the middle of the battlefield, its taken enormous poundings but sustains believers with its presence and its fruits to overcome the enemy. God invites us to come and eat of this fruit and live forever in his Kingdom, in his restored Creation. (to be continue)

(cont.) We are all living the answer by our first parents to trust the voice of the serpent and his agenda to make us into his image. Adam recognizes God by his own self image, he recognizes Eve as an image of God and man, there is no connection with the image of the serpent, ones going to need quite a makeover for the new look which can only be completed in eternal death where the soul has made its final decision to lose all resemblance to God in favor of the image of the snake and animal like features. The voice we trust will have an effect on our image to one that is Godlike or one that is animallike, we are developing our tastes for the divine or for the creature. To be Godlike is to be a blessing to the world with goodwill and love. To be animallike would be to eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die. Sure some animals can be less threatening than others to the world but not less deadly, for all who promote disobedience to the will of God either by word or example hand their neighbor a snake instead of a fish as a token of their affection. To love as God loves would exclude snake from the menu. (to be continue)
