THE UNIVERSE WAS. CREATED BY GOD THE CREATORTHE UNIVERSE HAS. O POWER TO GIVE YOU ANYTHING OR TO DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THAT IT CAN HAS SUCCUMBED TO A LIE

Oh! dearly beloved children of the Most High, only WONDERFUL, merciful and living, loving God, please get this straight: The universe was created and is inanimate. It cannot give you anything.

When yiu profess that lie,  is a case of you being in a far country trying to fit in and go along with rejectors and those who have turned their backs on the Light and have decided to be laws unto themselves.

I respect that each person has her or his own right to believe whatever she or he wants to believe, even, very sadly when those beliefs and existing in those beliefs tragically will lead to the loss of that person's eternal soul. But I cannot stop proclaiming that lies are lies.

Again . . . if you don't believe me, please ask the Holy Spirit and He will answer you in exactly the way you need to know . . . or ask your priest/pastor/Sunday School teacher/or a mature Christian man or woman in your family.

Only you know what is between you and God the Father and His Only Begotten Son Jesus.  You cannot truly love and serve the Lord while also trying to keep someone or some group of  people happy by putting inanimate, created things in the place of the Un-created, eternally Begotten Son Redeemer and Saviour Jesus the Messiah.

This ia ONLY between you and no one else except the Living Lord God -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

God Almighty, the One True Living God says to you:

"Dearly BelovedI, I have called you by the Name that only I know. I delight in you. I sing songs of joy over you. Take up my armor and firm against the Deceiver. Jesus has defeated Death and Sin always and forever, but it is like it is like on Earth after a great war has ended and there are still marauding bands going around the countryside. We must be aware that we are clothed in Messiah, the every battle belongs to Him and that He always has the victory.”

(ESPECIALLY in the season of the Celebration of the Resurrection, as baptized believers we have been charged to proclaim the Good News the Creation has been renewed and is continually being remade. We can proclaim that sin and death no longer have any power over any human being, past, present and future.)

Again, the Lord says to you:

“No spiritual weapon formed against you shall prosper. The Lord is aware of your struggles and He says to you, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant, beloved child. Only I know the plans I have for you.  Nothing I speak into creation comes back void, but accomplishes my intentions.’

“I have given ransomed nations in exchange for you. When you walk through fire it will not consume you. If flames surround you, you will not catch fire.

“Behold! I am doing a new thing in your life. Just as streams of living water will spring up and revive the desert, you, too will be revived, body/mind/soul and Spirit.

“Don't be afraid.

“I have created you and called you by Name. You are mine and mine alone. Din't be afraid. All is well and all will be exceedingly well.  Abide in me and I will abide in you.

“Put on my armor (Ephesians 6) and stand firm. The battle belongs to theLord and He ALWAYS has the victory."  

Thus saith the Lord.

Alleluia!

Glory to God in the Highest and the fullness of God’s shalom wholeness to human beings and to all of Creation!

The Secret Garden in Ouray, Colorado

And it is also about what’s been going on with me since about Valentine’s Day . . .






Okay . . . here goes . . . .






Yesterday I got a big envelop from the Veterans Administration Adjudication Office with the details of their decision about the appeal that was pursuant to their denial of the application I made in 2013 concerning my disability status.






Apparently that particular package and all the information in it is a kind of justification and explanation of the main decision they made and all the details about why they did or didn't agree with what the Veterans Disability Lawyers from Bosley and Bratch presented on my behalf.






Before it came in the mail Dan Smith, my lawyer called and said he had been given a hint that good news was on the way, and we were both very excited.






So it was adjudicated in my favor, agreeing with what all the assessments and evaluations and examinations and records showed. And the next thing will be some written verification of how it will affect what I get every month and what the access to some benefits I haven't had before will be . . . but at the moment we still don't know what all that is, exactly . . . I think they are waiting for a particular phase of the lunar cycle or messages left by leprechauns somewhere or something like that.






God only knows . . .






So . . . . as soon as I know, we will move ahead with our plans.






***cautiously optimistic***






. . . and trusting the Lord.






Meanwhile I was back at the ER at the ATAL VA Med Ctr this morning for the third time this week because more and more pollen is coming out and some of the meds they gave me on Tues are not interacting happily with the meds I already take and there were two sets of med prescribers who I am pretty sure were not even speaking to one another.






And meanwhile again, a long line of social workers and psych eval folks along with residents and teaching assistants and observers were hovering around and asking the usual questions and not at all listening to any of the answers I was giving them.






I really wanted an injection or an intravenous dose of phenagran or Benadryl or prednisone and also something like paregoric . . . the first to stop my body from reacting to the allergens and the second to calm my whole GI tract down because it ends up feeling like I have just woken up in bed, but have had 17 cups of coffee before even opening my eyes.






To give you a complete update and an idea about what the last month was like, here goes:






Feb 14th -- I got a sweet Valentine's box of chocolate caramel pecan "turtles" from my beloved daughter Krista and my son-in-love Daniel and two of my grandsons.






-- I ate two, put the rest in the freezer, because that'e the way I like 'em.






-- 45 minutes later I bit down on one of them and broke the crown I had over one of my two upper front teeth . . . have had crowns on them since I was about to leave for college in the summer of 1970, because I was a tomboy and had chipped my teeth when I was in 4th or 5th grade and it really bothered Mom . . . then -- I found the broken part and kept it safe.






Feb 15 -- 8 AM -- got an appointment at a dentist's office that I had tried to connect with when I was still going back and forth to Dad's all the time . . . in that era I opted to stay with Mom's and Dad's dentist they had been seeing since 1992.






The dentist here made a plastic mold of my upper teeth and put the broken off crown in it and set me up with her husband who is also a dentist -- he is the oral surgeon and she does the crowns and regular dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.






So by 10 AM I was set up with an appointment to get an implant, but the husband-dentist had to squeeze me in all afternoon between patients from 1:30 PM until almost 6 PM . . .






I had much more novocaine than usual for an unusually extended amount of time.






It was not much fun, but I am grateful to them all. Then was given an antibiotic (they pulled out the post of a live tooth and then drilled and put the implant into my bone . . .) and said that a new crown could not be put back on for about 3 months or maybe a bit longer.






So I have that prosthetic that comes in and out and looks okay. Otherwise I look like an overgrown first grader with a missing front tooth and the Tooth Fairy hasn't even been by.






The husband dentist said I would be in pain for 2 or 3 days . . . could only eat very soft stuff and had to take Zithromax antibiotic for 5 days and then enough tramadol and my other usual pain meds as needed.






But I was in the midst of a very major reaction to the novocaine . . . already was allergic to codeine, morphine, Percocet . . . whatever else . . . was in extreme pain and taking Benadryl until the 19th of Feb . . . and by the 21st was almost back to normal.






Then the redbuds started blooming . . . then the non-bearing pear trees and the Japanese magnolias . . . the hyacinths and the daffodils and the tulips and now the cherry trees and it is very beautiful . . . but by Monday the 26th of Feb I knew I needed all my asthma meds and everything else I normally get in such situations (Like the 2x to the ER the last week of Nov in FL and the 2x to the ER the first week of Dec here in GA.)






Finally got everything I needed and got it all straightened out at the ER at the VA in Atlanta yesterday and felt MUCH better and taking the sleeping pills for three times now has started putting my world right side up . . . but still tired . . . but, thank God I will be okay.






Nevertheless, I was too spacey to realize yesterday afternoon after waiting for my meds after I was released by the ER folks, that they hadn't taken out the IV port in the inside of my left elbow. So right before I took the sleeping pill last night around 11:30PM, I called the triage nurse for after hours at the VA.






The triage nurse then determined that I could wait until today to go have it out and made notes on my chart for all that. Slept from 11:30 PM until 7:30 AM, had some breakfast, got in the car and drove down to the VA.






By 10:30 AM, I was on the road again without the IV port and with some tide-me-over migraine pills (because a scrip is on its way in the mail) . . . and then meanwhile again . . .






I got a new phone from Verizon and quit AT&T and my new phone number is a CO number -- 970-596-2771






But it's suspended because I put the phone down somewhere in the house last night right before going to bed and I have no idea where that is.






Hopefully. the dogs didn't take it out to hide it in the yard.






😎






Fun, fun, fun . . .

WHERE WE ARE NOW . . .

I think what happens with the Mueller investigations will speed things up . . . and we won’t have to wait until the next election to be rid of this regime . . . we can only hope. His campaign staff, his son and his son-in-law all committed treason on his behalf. Once they start going beyond indictments to trials, the whole house of cards will fall. You can tell that they know their days are numbered by how they are panicking and working hard to make sure there is as much repression of the staff in the East Wing, etc.

Their lies and defensive tactics will only increase, but to no avail. Justice and righteousness will prevail.



Of course it is not finished yet. Mueller and his staff are going about it very carefully and in the right way . . . those who have been indicted already will do what they can to ameliorate the sentence they may be facing when taken to court.






In the months before the mid-term elections, there is plenty of time for everyone to see how much collusion there was in their treasonous enterprise and it won't just be the campaign workers who are tarnished. . . the whole Republican National Committee and the Republican leaders in Congress all may have had access to the conspiracy with our enemy Putin and his minions.






Take heart.






The Lord will be victorious over their evil sooner than later because the people working against the regime are smarter and are doing everything legally, which is something that never even occurred to those who just wanted to defeat Hillary and make sure that only the good ol' white boys stayed in power.






Even though by the time it was certain that the regime would be nominated, and some of them were still objecting to the pseudo-candidate . . . they just continued to use him and also continued the gerry-meandering and other political tricks to win at all costs.






And the costs have been that people in need and the environment are suffering and that we have lost our place in the free world in international relations.






Scary times . . . Yes . . . But evil and those who worship wealth never win. If it seems like they are winning, it just means we are not at the end of the story. God is always able to do much more than we can even think to ask.






There is a spiritual warfare battle going on as well as all of the evil that’s being done in the name of this it administration.






God is not mocked. They will reap what they sow.






We can count on the fact that God will not put up with everything they are doing.






But it is also up to us to choose to work against them with God’s help.






One of the reasons that the gift of free will but God gives to people makes things difficult is that people can choose to succumb to evil, people can choose to worship Mammon/wealth instead of the Lord, and people can choose to do nothing.






There is no doubt that we are in a battle, and it is sickening that such a regime is in control.






But our Founders made the Constitution in a way that when the people have made a big mistake in an election, we don’t have to put up with them for long.






Nevertheless, they have also broken laws and righteous men and women are working to prove that and to bring them to justice.






Even though the pseudo-Pres and the members of the regime do not respect laws, their downfall will be that they have been treasonous and justice will prevail.






IT WILL BE OVER SOONER THAN YOU THINK.
