Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! We celebrate special occasions, most of the world has heard of Christmas and are aware of the day its celebrated. The grinch of anti-christian, anti-God sentiments has not been able to wipe out Dec. 25 from the holiday schedule. The world celebrates the birth of the Lord, history is divided, before the birth(BC) after the birth (AD). The Lord Jesus is the great divider, he does not compromise the truth, some will leave because the truth is too hard to accept. Some try so hard to melt down, soften, reshape the truth of the Lord but its the truth that will set them free. The truth lets one see as God sees, the infinite Good knows what constitutes love and joy. Nothing can disturb God because he is the truth, not one shadow eclipses his being, he is pure light, love and virtue, to walk into the presence of God would be to walk into holiness. We wouldn't be able to stand in his presence without being purified, it would be too overwhelming. The Lord covers that purity of God with his humanity so we can come into his presence and fellowship with him on the journey home, he is God's adapter for us, we can truly experience our beloved God through the gifts given by the Holy Trinity. Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy Birthday to all on Dec 25 and whenever your birthday is! May we be a people who celebrate for all eternity! **********This blog will resume Jan 2, 2O14.

St. John of the Cross- Born in 1542, Fontiveros, Spain; died in 1591, Úbeda, Spain - The Lord has always revealed to mortals the treasures of his wisdom and his spirit, but now that the face of evil bares itself more and more, so does the Lord bare his treasures more.******* Though the path is plain and smooth for people of good will, those who walk it will not travel far, and will do so only with difficulty if they do not have good feet, courage, and tenacity of spirit.************ The virtuous soul that is alone and without a master, is like a lone burning coal; it will grow colder rather than hotter.********** God values in you an inclination to aridity and suffering for love of Him more than all possible consolations, spiritual visions, and meditations.******* He who does not allow his appetites to carry him away will soar in his spirit as swiftly as the bird that lacks no feathers.*********** Mine are the heavens and mine is the earth. Mine are the nations, the just are mine, and mine the sinners. The angels are mine, and the Mother of God, and all things are mine; and God Himself is mine and for me, because Christ is mine and all for me.********** A soul that is hard because of its self-love grows harder. O good Jesus, if You do not soften it, it will ever continue in its natural hardness.************ Reflect that the most delicate flower loses its fragrance and withers fastest; therefore guard yourself against seeking to walk in a spirit of delight, for you will not be constant. Choose rather for yourself a robust spirit, detached from everything, and you will discover abundant peace and sweetness, for savory and durable fruit is gathered in a cold and dry climate.********* Think not that pleasing God lies so much in doing a great deal as in doing it with good will, without possessiveness and human respect.********** Do not rejoice in temporal prosperity, since you do not know if it gives you assurance of eternal life.*********** Rejoice habitually in God, Who is your salvation, and reflect that it is good to suffer in any way for Him Who is good.********* Preserve a loving attentiveness to God with no desire to feel or understand any particular thing concerning Him. ********* The poor man who is naked will be clothed, and the soul that is naked of desires and whims will be clothed by God with His purity, satisfaction, and will.********** There are souls that wallow in the mire like animals, and there are others that soar like birds, which purify and cleanse themselves in the air.************ The devil fears a soul united to God as he does God Himself.********* Once being asked how one becomes enraptured, the Venerable Father Fray John of the Cross, replied: by denying one's own will and doing the will of God; for an ecstasy is nothing else than going out of self and being caught up in God; and this is what he who obeys does; he leave himself and his desire, and thus unburdened plunges himself in God.*********** Never give up prayer, and should you find dryness and difficulty, persevere in it for this very reason. God often desires to see what love your soul has, and love is not tried by ease and satisfaction.********** Suffering for God is better than working miracles.******** Oh, what blessings we will enjoy in the vision of the Most Blessed Trinity!*******

The map; the cross. East to west, north to south, the cross points the direction for the earth, for heaven, for hell. We look at the cross and part of it is in the earth, part of it is above the earth, most people do not die suspended between heaven and earth. The savior extends his arms to the earth, he lifts his head to the Father, his enemy's are beneath his feet, the God-Man is looked upon by believers and unbelievers, greeted with tears and curses, free will and power lines up before the cross, we shall serve you, we shall not serve you and they go to his right or his left. He dies for all, but he will not interfere with mankind's freedom to love him or not. His blood falls down upon each group, one group is healed, the other group is judged.   

The cross of victims, nobody wants to be a victim of anothers free will and power. Unfortunately, the world has had many a victim from all ages to God himself who was so cruelly treated by the free will and power of others. God is especially close to those who have suffered this outrage of unfairness and hate. Nobody has the right to use their power for the harm of others, to do so is to crucify humanity again and again. The Lord is with all the crucified and he will have his day when he will summon the earth before him. Every act of hatred and harm will be accounted for, justice will be served, the repentant and the unrepentant will see the cross, they too will be on the cross, one acknowledging their fault and failing, the other cursing God. We will pass through the cross into the kingdom, like the good thief who was then ready to be with the Lord in his father's house. The one who does not go to the father's house also passes through the cross like the unrepentant criminal next to the Lord's cross, without any remorse and faith his anger and contempt for the Lord flares up to  remove the death sentence. The Lord didn't remove the death sentence for any of them, they all died by the cross and one went on with the Lord and the other did not. The good thief, passing through the cross enters into paradise, the other criminal passing through the cross enters into a place without the Lord and calvary does not look so bad now.

St. Francis de Sales - Born in 1567, Château de Sales, France; died in 1622, Lyon, France. -      It should be our principal business to conquer ourselves and, from day to day, to go on increasing in strength and perfection. Above all, however, it is necessary for us to strive to conquer our little temptations, such as fits of anger, suspicions, jealousies, envy, deceitfulness, vanity, attachments, and evil thoughts. For in this way we shall acquire strength to subdue greater ones.************** We accuse our neighbor for so little, and we excuse ourselves for so much.***********The Prayer of the sick person is his patience and his acceptance of his sickness for the love of Jesus Christ. Make sickness itself a prayer, for there is none more powerful, save martyrdom!************* Oh what remorse we shall feel at the end of our lives, when we look back upon the great number of instructions and examples afforded by God and the Saints for our perfection, and so carelessly received by us! If this end were to come to you today, how would you be pleased with the life you have led this year?**********Man is the perfection of the Universe. The spirit is the perfection of man. Love is the perfection of the spirit, and charity that of love. Therefore, the love of God is the end, the perfection of the Universe.**********He who truly desires Love, seeks it truly. And he who truly seeks it, surely finds it. And he who finds it has found the Fountain of Life.*******The state of marriage is one that requires more virtue and constancy than any other: it is a perpetual exercise of mortification.********** It must be obvious that devotion ought to be practiced differently by the gentleman, the artist, the employee, the prince, the widow, the celibate, the spouse.*********** Be certain of this: it is an error, even heresy, to want to banish the devout life from the company of soldiers, the shops of artisans, the courts of princes and the homes of married people.************* When God's will is shown clearly to us through divine ordinances and commandments, there is nothing further to deliberate on for we must simply do what has been ordained. But for all other things it is in our liberty to choose what seems good according to our preferences.**********We ought not to become overly disturbed with ourselves because of our imperfections.********** We correct ourselves better by a calm and lasting repentance than by one that is bitter and angry.***********  We must not be astonished to see ourselves imperfect, since we must never see ourselves otherwise in this life.************ From time to time one must recreate and relax in mind and body.************ Perfection does not lie in avoiding the world, but in not clinging to it.**********  Riches can prick us with a thousand troubles in getting them, as many cares in preserving them, more anxieties in spending them, and with grief in losing them.***********                                                                            

Chocolate toothpaste. I had a dream that I went to church and there was a sign saying they had a problem and to go to the local gas station where someone would be distributing communion. So I go and see the line for communion, I'm the last one in line. As I reach the lady distributing communion she has her back towards me and is locking up a big metal container. She turns and sees me there waiting to recieve communion with a surprised look and says come back tomorrow. So, I come back the next day, see the line and once again I'm the last one. The person in front of me recieves communion and once again the lady has her back towards me locking up the metal container. She turns towards me once again acting surprised and I said you have to wait till everyone recieves communion and this time I wasn't leaving. So she frantically opens the container looking through it and pulls out chocolate toothpaste and squeezes it for communion. I look at her in shock and said what have you been giving people? She didn't have faith in the communion host and when she ran out anything could be a substitute. She believed I would accept this gesture of communion. Her look said to me its just a symbol my look to her said its not a symbol and it cannot be replaced. Symbol or reality, the consecrated host will be consumed by faith and love or like a piece of food that reminds one of Christ but is not the real deal. The flesh and blood of Christ has become eatable for body, heart, soul and mind, a privileged union for those who believe.  ************ A website of Eucharistic Miracles http://www.acfp2000.com/Miracles/eucharistic.html                                                  **********Chinese Eucharistic Martyr inspired Archbishop Fulton Sheen to pray his Holy Hour           
During China's 1911 Republican Revolution or the earlier Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901), anti-Catholic militants seized a Catholic parish. They confined the pastor to house arrest. From his rectory window he witnessed the desecration of the Church. He knew that there had been thirty-two consecrated hosts in the tabernacle. An eleven year old girl was praying at the back of the church and the guards either did not see her or else paid no attention to her. She returned to the Church that night and made a Holy Hour and then consumed one of the sacred hosts, bending down to receive Jesus on her tongue. She continued to return every night, making a nightly Holy Hour and consuming one sacred host. On the last night, the thirty-second night, unfortunately a guard was awakened after she consumed the sacred host. He chased her, grabbed her, and beat her to death with his rifle. Archbishop Fulton Sheen became aware of her martyrdom while he was a seminarian. He was so inspired by her sacrifice that he promised to pray a holy hour before the Blessed Sacrament each day for the rest of his life.

Kiss the sunset goodbye. To be in the presence of beauty and good is a torment for the lost angels. They would rather be in the slums, in the noisy cities, in seedy clubs and whacked out perverted mansions and homes. Its a drug for them to take in the sight of evil blocking out the loss of God and the good. They have nothing to live for as the days grow shorter to harm the one causing them pain. Their victory, a product of their imagination comforts them with reality, so they look to get drunk with blood or pain. They cannot have good so they despise every reminder of it, they live only to add souls to their state of hate and godlessness. They kissed the sunset of heaven goodbye, souls who have join them have kissed the sunset of earth goodbye, "drug me up for we have nothing" echoes in their being. Lost of God and good needs a fix, something must replace the nothingness but it all fails as the sun rises and the sun sets.

St. Thomas Aquinas -  born in Italy about 1226; died in 1274  -  In the life of the body a man is sometimes sick, and unless he takes medicine, he will die. Even so in the spiritual life a man is sick on account of sin. For that reason he needs medicine so that he may be restored to health; and this grace is bestowed in the Sacrament of Penance. ***********There are two sides to every sin: the turning of the will toward fleeting satisfaction and the turning away from everlasting value. As regards to the first, the principle of all sins can be called lust--- lust in its most general sense, namely, the unbridled desire for one's own pleasure. As regards to the second, the principle is pride---pride in its general sense, the lack of submission to God. ********** Be assured that he who shall always walk faithfully in God's presence, always ready to give Him an account of all his actions, shall never be separated from Him by consenting to sin.***********   To know whom to avoid is a great means of saving our souls.********To love God is something greater than to know Him. ****** To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.***********There must be a first mover existing above all and this we call God.********
Grant, O Lord my God, that I may never fall away in success or in failure; that I may not be prideful in prosperity nor dejected in adversity. Let me rejoice only in what unites us and sorrow only in what separates us. May I strive to please no one or fear to displease anyone except Yourself. May I see always the things that are eternal and never those that are only temporal. May I shun any joy that is without You and never seek any that is beside You. O Lord, may I delight in any work I do for You and tire of any rest that is apart from You. My God, let me direct my heart towards You, and in my failings, always repent with a purpose of amendment.***********Obedience unites us so closely to God that it in a way transforms us into Him, so that we have no other will but His.
If obedience is lacking, even prayer cannot be pleasing to God.***********The Sacrament of the Body of the Lord puts the demons to flight, defends us against the incentives to vice and to concupiscence, cleanses the soul from sin, quiets the anger of God, enlightens the understanding to know God, inflames the will and the affections with the love of God, fills the memory with spiritual sweetness, confirms the entire man in good, frees us from eternal death, multiplies the merits of a good life, leads us to our everlasting home, and re-animates the body to eternal life.**********"[It is appropriate that the Body and Blood of Christ be truly present in this Sacrament] because of the perfection of the New Covenant. The sacrifices of the Old Covenant contained the true sacrifice of Christ's Passion only in symbol.

...Therefore it was necessary that the sacrifice of the New Covenant, instituted by Christ, have something more, namely, that it contain Christ Himself who has suffered and contain Him not only in symbol but in reality.*********The Eucharist is the Sacrament of Love; It signifies Love, it produces Love.************'The greater the charity of the saints, in their heavenly home, the more they intercede for those who are still on their journey and the more they can help them by their prayers; the more they are united with God, the more effective those prayers are. This is in accordance with divine order, which makes higher things react upon lower things, like the brightnees of the sun filling the atmosphere.********'In recalling to mind the life and actions of the saints, walk in their footsteps as much as possible, and humble thyself if thou canst not attain to their perfection.*********Seek praises from God alone.********Man has to believe others in matters that he cannot know perfectly by himself. Now no one is to be believed as much as God is. Thus, those who will not believe the statements of faith are not wise, but foolish and proud.***********

The woman and the beast, round one the beast.  Mary says yes to the plan of God, round two the woman. The woman would rise above the rank of angels and be seated next to the throne of her son. The King would crown his mother Queen of his creation. All celebrate the woman and the wisdom of God, the highest creation has far exceeded the high angel turn rebel and cannot excel or compete with the power and rank given to the Mother of God. Those who serve the beast, serve one who is under the woman, God is head of the woman, head of creation, head of the church, he is Master and Lord. Rank of creatures has been reorder to reflect true greatness in the eyes of God. The beast has gone lower, the woman has gone higher, rejoice Eve at the image seated next to the throne of God. Free will of creatures can descend or ascend to their final dwelling place, the weight of a harden heart and bloated pride are like the snake who crawls on the ground while the heart and mind that God dwells in is like the birds who can rise above themselves, enjoying many different heights and advantage points. The beast can strike at the woman's heel while the woman can strike at the beast head, the final round a deadly bite or a severed head, Mary and the Church says to its members, victory is ours but as a consolation the beast will strike again and again until the fateful day bringing as much death as possible to the children of God. Like the serpents in the desert striking the Israelites who complained against God and Moses, finding no relief until admitting their sin and God giving the remedy; look upon the image of a snake mounted on a pole. Looking at the image of the snake was going to bring relief to the snake-bitten. How about souls who have been bitten by the beast, injecting his venom of death. Surely, if one admits their fault and looks upon the one who can heal their wounds, they too shall live. Moses interceded for the people who came and confessed their guilt to him so too God has provided many ministers to intercede for the people and give the remedy for healing. A snake bite can be deadly but a beast bite doesn't have to be, we have a 1OO% cure. The woman and the beast, one lives, one wishes not to live, life is the winner. 

Radical Catholic, why not, the world is radical for its causes of issues against catholic teaching. The world sings the praises of leaders who put in harms way the unborn children of God, as if their opening the door to the slaughter house is no big deal. Look! they say at all this person has done for society while the blood of the unborn drips on the ground they govern. Drop by drop, the blood fills the land and God who is a respecter of no one will not be a part of the chorus for one who let his neighbor be put to death without interceding by word, action or prayer. We radical catholics who are against the slaughter in society are not violent lawbreakers but a voice for God's children not to be put to death. We know the wages of death will lead to damnation of many who stood by cowardlessly not doing one thing to intervene, a prayer, a vote,... compromising for other benefits, the blood will be a witness and call out to God for justice with society hearing the words of Christ at the last judgement, what you did for the unborn you did for me, put the knife in Christ's hand, could he drive it through the heart of one who wants to live and not die, if he can't how can one who wants to be welcome by him not be horrified by the murder of another. The unborn children will be at the last judgement and justice will be served, the leaders and people that are guilty of their death by direct and indirect means, having no compassion or remorse for their life being snuffed out will forever see the blood on their hands. Let us not die with the blood of the unborn on our hands, let us beg forgiveness if we ever did anything in word or action that contribute to a life being taken, we are indeed our brothers keeper and we will be reminded at the last judgement what we did or did not do for Christ. In todays society God understands we have to be prudent when approached by people because life is cheap and violence is out there so I might and might not give a buck to a person asking, it just depends but I will say a silent prayer for the person as I continue my day. We follow our Head who is uncompromising in life and love, we need to rise in virtue and not to sweep away responsiblity and accountability like Cain who took care of his problem with an act of violence and then declared he is not his brothers keeper. He became separate from God and separate from his family, only concern about his own well being. Me, myself and I is the  trinity that wanders aimlessly and is marked with the blood of the earth.*******Many people protest the violence in the bible as Israel at times put to death all the inhabitants in war, men, women and children. We know Israel time after time would fall away into idolatry with the punishment of the death and capture of their society warned by God. The nations who practiced idolatry knew the God of Israel was against all gods save himself and it was forbidden to the point of death which happen to Israel and the practicising nations of false gods.  The religion of false gods with its various worships and sacrifices is an abomination to the God of Israel and like Sodom and Gomorrah  was wiped out to serve a higher purpose of warning from the one true God.

St. Ambrose of Milan - born probably 340, at Trier, Arles, or Lyons; died 4 April, 397. -  When we speak about wisdom, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about virtue, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about justice, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about peace, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about truth and life and redemption, we are speaking of Christ.*********He who knows not how to command his desires, finds himself hurried away with them.********Why do you not use the time when you have nothing to do for reading or for prayer? Why do you not go and visit Christ our Lord and speak with Him and listen to Him? For when we pray we speak with God, and when we read, we listen to God.**********When there was so much glory to be seen among the Apostles, Zachaeus, hearing that the Lord Jesus was passing by, climbed a tree because he was small and weak and could not see the Lord through the crowd. He saw Christ and he found light. He saw Christ and instead of robbing others of their goods he began to give away his own.********(Prefigurations of Baptism in
the Old Testament Scriptures)

Listen to the Apostle’s teaching: For all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. Moreover, Moses himself sings in triumph You sent your Spirit and the sea covered them. As you see, holy baptism was prefigured even then at the crossing of the sea, where the Egyptians perished but the Hebrews escaped. What else, after all, are we daily taught about baptism? That with the immersion in water, guilt is swallowed up and error done away with, but that virtue and innocence remain unharmed?


You hear that our fathers were under the cloud, a kindly cloud which cooled the heat of carnal passions. That kindly cloud overshadows those whom the Holy Spirit visits. Finally it came upon the Virgin Mary, and the Power of the Most High overshadowed her, when she conceived Redemption for the race of men. The miracle worked by Moses was a prefiguration of this miracle. But then – if the Spirit was in the figure, how can he not be present in the reality? As Scripture says, The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.


Marah was a spring of unendurably bitter water: Moses threw wood into it and it became sweet. For you see: water without the preaching of the Cross of the Lord is of no use for future salvation, but, after it has been consecrated by the mystery of the wood of the saving Cross, it is made suitable for the use of the spiritual cleansing and of the cup of salvation. So as Moses (that is, the prophet) threw wood into that fountain, so the priest utters over this font the proclamation of the Lord’s cross, and the water is made sweet for the purpose of grace.


You must not trust, then, wholly to your bodily eyes. What is not seen is in reality seen more clearly; for what we see without eyes is temporal whereas what is eternal (and invisible to the eye) is discerned by the mind and spirit.


There is a final lesson to be learned from the book of the Kings which we have just been reading. Naaman was a Syrian, and suffered from leprosy, and there was no-one who could cleanse him. Then a maiden from among the captives said that there was a prophet in Israel, who could cleanse him from the defilement of the leprosy. And it is said that, having taken silver and gold, Naaman went to the king of Israel. And the king, when he heard why Naaman had come, tore his garments, saying that this was an attempt to put him in the wrong, since healing leprosy was not in the power of kings. Elisha, however, sent word to the king that he should send the Syrian to him, so that he might know there was a God in Israel. And when he had come, he told him to dip himself seven times in the river Jordan.


Naaman doubted until the time when he was cleansed; but you are cleansed by now, and so you should not have doubts.*********It is wonderful that God rained manna on our fathers and they were fed with daily food from heaven. And so it is written: Man ate the bread of angels. Yet those who ate that bread all died in the desert. But the food that you receive, that living bread which came down from heaven, supplies the very substance of eternal life, and whoever will eat it will never die, for it is the body of Christ.

Consider now which is the more excellent: the bread of angels or the flesh of Christ, which is indeed the body that gives life. The first was manna from heaven, the second is above the heavens. One was of heaven, the other is of the Lord of the heavens; one subject to corruption if it was kept till the morrow, the other free from all corruption, for if anyone tastes of it with reverence he will be incapable of corruption. For our fathers, water flowed from the rock; for you, blood flows from Christ. Water satisfied their thirst for a time; blood cleanses you for ever. The Jew drinks and still thirsts, but when you drink you will be incapable of thirst. What happened in symbol is now fulfilled in reality. If what you marvel at is a shadow, how great is the reality whose very shadow you marvel at. Listen to this, which shows that what happened in the time of our fathers was but a shadow. They drank, it is written, from the rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. All this took place as a symbol for us. You know now what is more excellent: light is preferable to its shadow, reality to its symbol, the body of the Giver to the manna he gave from heaven. *******
In Christ we are all things, He is everything to us. If you have wounds to heal, He is a physician; if fever scorches you, He is a fountain. Would you punish evil doing, He is justice. If you need help, He is strength; if you fear death, He is life; if you hunger, He is food.********No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.**********He took what is mine in order that He might impart to me what is His. He took it not to overturn it but to fill it. ********

Better to be an atheist than a devil that praises God. The devil loves to put on many hats and faces, one of his favorites is the face of Judas. A person who looks close to the Lord, a part of the fellowship, a singer of God's praises in the public square. Behind the scenes he lives as his own master, his presence among the believers causes tensions, his boldness questions the wisdom of God on the morality of wasting costly perfume when it could have been given to the poor. The bible says Judas was a thief, he looked Jesus in the eyes but did not see his Lord because sin kept him blinded to the light. Miracles, signs , preaching cannot wake up a soul that feels no remorse. Day after day he heard the wisdom of God on many topics, he knew his behavior didn't belong in this group but instead of changing he chose himself above all others. He would see Jesus as many see him , a teacher who could gather a crowd, a spotlight for himself, a follower who could pick and choose his beliefs and actions. Judas was wrong, persisting in sin gave the devil more power and control over him. Jesus warns him forcefully, revealing his sin of betrayal to him and another chance to repent, that it would be better had he never been born then to do what he is about to do. The Lord himself cannot get through, the heart is dead to the truth and the light. To be in the presence of the Lord and continue in sin is like recieving communion and not changing ones behavior, the results will be the same, an eventual hardening of ones heart where true remorse and repentance will be difficult. The urging from God to Judas to change was always there, keep the heart alive to what is good in the eyes of the Lord but one can refuse and refuse and refuse, the results are not isolated to Judas, he is one example of a person who makes one bad decision after another with his last decision being his worse by taking his life and not giving that life once and for all to the Lord. Death bed conversions are not the way to go because they are not guaranteed to happen but the Lord will not refuse any soul who would turned to him even at the last breath.

Count Down ; The power company is turning off the power at 8:00 pm and will resume power at 8:00 am the following day. Of course, you're going to plan accordingly what you want to get accomplished before lights out. I believe the power company will do exactly as it said, so I have to use my time wisely. Deadlines, schedules, appointments, all are demanding a portion of our time. Our time is divided amongst many things, who doesn't wish for more time. Time has an appointment to meet with its Creator , we are living the countdown, we don't know the day or hour but the notice was given long ago to be ready. Time has ended for many a soul, to be ready is the best insurance plan for eternity. Time has no power over eternity, vice-versus, eternity runs the show, starting and stopping the clock. No one knows when the human clock will stop, no one knows when the earth's clock will stop, at times we have an idea it could be near and at other times it comes suddenly and unexpected. Be ready, is good advice for clocks we cannot predict with certainty when will be its last tick. We have an announcement, we knows its coming, we can pretend the power company will not turn off the power after giving notice but then we will not be ready for the outage. Darkness will be the new light when I could've had a flashlight to turn on, I could've had the light of Christ turned on in my soul before the power goes out, to live in darkness is the opposite of living with a light source, the light source illuminates what we could not see on our own. We cannot see what God sees without his light switch being turned on in us, his light can be the source of our seeing and living in this world and the world to come. The Kingdom of light, the kingdom of darkness, one has God as its source of seeing the other has no light to see the true, the beautiful, the good , all these gifts were damaged in some way by the sightless for self love over selfless love. Our free will has transformed us into a version of love, God is the highest love, Satan is the lowest love, we are somewhere on the scale, as we go higher our light becomes brighter as we go lower our light becomes darker, our scale will have a final measurement where we will be either apart of the light or apart of the darkness. Yes to the light, no to the darkness or yes to the darkness, no to the light, we freely choose our place on the scale of love.

Hey ! Yogi Bear! Fear of a wild animal is normal and prudent. To see a wild animal and not have a fear could be deadly. Fear sounds the alarm bells, possible danger and harm has now activated the sensors. If the sensors don't go off, Yogi bear might have his next meal. Lack of fear in so many areas of life has led to unnecessary harm and destruction. Our survival depends on our judgements to identify threats to our well-being. Fear wants to save us from a danger as best it can, when the alarm goes off some people will hit the snooze button, not now! Christians have a fear of hell because God has told us it exist for the fallen angels and those who choose to disobey his command. He is the Commander and Chief and will run the Universe to his liking, all who protest their place and service in the divine plan will be court martial. Defection from the Kingdom of God is possible through free will, we have a group of guerrilla combatants trying to enlist us in their battle against the divine. Shoot against his marriage, torpedo his ideas of chastity and purity, sabotage and twist his commands, capture the weak with glitter and gifts, forward march! The battle was started long ago and will end with a final face-off, a decisive victory will ensue, no waiving of the white flag accepted as the commander in chief gives the final order, eliminate the threat. There will be a world that has no threats to its values, one will be in total chaos and the other will be in complete peace with no fears to save us, Hey! Its Yogi Bear! No Lunch worries anymore, the day of the Lord is here.********This blog will resume Dec. 9, 2013.
