Substitute Eve

I have something on my mind I want to run, or type by you.
I had a conversation with a male acquaintance a few months ago.  Anyhow, it was positive, sort of, yet I came away wondering, and thus had to place something at the feet of Jesus for understanding and clarification.  Now if you don’t pray to God through Jesus that’s ok for you, but remember you’re in JEAN’s World and this is what I do.  Just wanted to clarify that so we don’t stumble along the way.
Okay, he says that in the Garden of Eden God said it's not good for man to be alone and we all agree with that.  (You can read it in Genesis too.) Also that it means it's not good for woman to be alone.  Hey, thank the Lord for a man who believes in equal rights.  PTL!! and Amen.  So I was excited to hear what else he had to say.  

He believes God created Eve as a helpmeet for Adam and part of this means she's one who motivates her man towards and into etc. his destiny. I concur. He also said that this pattern in the Garden is also for platonic relationships between men and women - that they don't have to be married or in an amorous relationship for a woman to motivate a man. To a degree I can agree with this.  For instance brothers, uncles, fathers, employers all have been helped and motivated by sisters for centuries, as well as males and females like on the television show Friends, which by the way I only watched a few episodes.  I didn’t hang on the “Friends’” block like so many of my friends and family.

 
What's my problem then? I seem to have a problem with a single woman motivating a single man (and vice versus) on a long-term basis in close proximity i.e. physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually when nothing is going to come of the relationship (especially when the decision is one-sided). (Ok Barak and Deborah in the Bible is a good example I think, but it was short-term and for a specific purpose, war.  He needed her counsel, prayers and guidance as a military leader and didn’t want to pursue the enemy without her.  You can check out this interesting story in the Old Testament book of Judges.  Also, I believe both of them were married to others, so he was not using her in the way I'm discussing in this message.  He came to her as a leader and prophet for she had received a word of victory from the Lord on his behalf.  She motivated him to do his job.) Okay, maybe they're best friends and can roll like that.  I on the other hand witnessed a case (although a true story I have embellished facts to maintain the anonymity of the characters) where a young woman stood by a guy, while he went to jail for a sophisticated crime (he was a nice clean guy who got caught on the federal level), visited him, wrote him letters, fell in love with him and did so many things for him and hoped things would go deeper when he got out 2 years later – oh and prayed for him and his sentence was reduced.  This doesn't usually happen for a black man in America.  We can be truthfully honest about that (before Obama that is).  When he got out she helped him get on his feet and restart his business.  Then a year or two later he married someone else.  She was heartbroken. Ok.  And he knew she had feelings for him, yet he used her in this fashion and she did not know about the other woman until engagement time.  She thought she was helping a brother out who would appreciate her in a greater way and love her as she loved him.  Not.
 
I thought to myself, 'I could not do it nor do I ever want to be put in a position as a single woman of motivating a man I like, but for another woman.'  And I was married at the time, not even thinking I would be single again.  (I had/have no problem motivating men professionally, and socially in a safe context; and even married ones, but I prefer to be friends with their wives and girlfriends, and help them motivate their own man so there will be no funny stuff and no accusations.  I'm not into man-sharing either.) 
 
I just listened as this guy talked for his argument was so shiny and crystal like, but I just couldn't see through it.  It was so shiny like it was hiding something, preventing me from seeing what was really not being said or revealed.  I feel that this type of situation is not safe for a woman's heart, for her to give of her soul's and other internal and external resources to motivate a man as he achieves his accomplishments, just for him to grab another female who comes along who did nothing for him in the storms and fires.  I can’t see paying for a cow the milk from which I will never drink.  I've heard of not looking a gift-horse in the face, but this is a cow, okay?  Now this is from this woman’s point of view and limited, negative and painful experiences with the opposite gender.  Yes there have been some positive ones too, but we can talk about those in another blog.  Don't get offended or sidetracked.  

Please tell me if I'm still thinking in the box or have a small mind.  (Please be gentle and tactful, giving it in the way you would like to receive it.  Thanks.) Maybe there is a fear of being taken advantage of, again, but the one I want to avoid is wasting my time with someone, building him up when he has no intentions of committing.  I don't want to allow this “philosophical” thinking to negatively affect the way I roll and interact with people.  I want to save all my resources for my Adam, because I'm no substitute Eve either.  (My name might be Sarah. :-0)

I think many of us have been substitute teachers (or filling in for someone else on a gig) at one time or another.  Well, you know we did not get the teachers' pay or pension or insurance, etc. Heck, depending on your area's school system you didn't know what age you would be covering or the teacher until you arrived at the school.  My point is, and I think you have it by now, is "being used with no retirement plan".  It’s just a temporary set up until the real deal returns.  Well there comes a time in life when we become the real deal and the substitute days end.
 
I don't like the interpretation of Eve as “a motivator”.  God meant something more, and more valuable and beautiful by the pattern He created in the Garden.  He is always multi-dimensional with His creativity, and His head is bigger than ours with bigger thoughts and purposes for us than we have for ourselves and each other.  His thoughts toward us are beneficial for everyone involved - no little "u's" or BIG "I's", no thoughts where only one person comes out on top while the other one has to crawl a minute before standing on their two feet again, or possibly never getting up again.  We are not to be taken apart by men (or they by us) for the parts of us they want so they can build their lives, egos and careers at our expense without giving back something that’s just as valuable (a woman’s soul and heart are priceless).  It's bad enough that a marital relationship doesn't guarantee that you won't be taken advantage of, but at least with it you have a public commitment and papers, witnesses for the prosecution and the plaintiff (thanks Law and Order!), and other legal perks to either make it worth your while, or to help you should, God forbid, the marriage dissolve (and that's no guarantee either.  This I know.)
 
So now, please help me my sisters and brothers.  I'm single again, and I know that what I think (and you also) inside will affect the aura I (you) give off to people, period. I don't want to walk around with a sign on my head saying "take me and use me for whatever you need, hey I'm game".  Hail to the no!!  But neither do I want to wear the other sign that says "stay the hail away from me".  LOL!  Honey draws bees and flies, and though I'm allergic to bees I can do without the flies.  Oh I am having a great time in life now, but every once in a while I get stumped. LOL!

Nevertheless, the next time a nice young, single interesting and interested young beaux pays me positive and long-term attention, I will be wondering "Am I your Eve?"  And "Are you my Adam?"  Is this your garden?  I don't care how many trees you have, just so the ones you have are fruitful and have potential.  Hmmmm.  If not, just call me Sarah!

Ciao!

Peace.

SEE what I'm SAYING?

Have you ever noticed that some people take off their glasses when you're talking to them and will ask, "please repeat what you just said?"  I find myself doing this too, and for some reason it helps me to hear better.  LOL  While growing up, when my family moved from New York to VA my mom's youngest brother was in high school.  He had a baaaad sports car (that's lingo from the 70's for those who may be too young, ahem), kicking music (oh Shaft - "shut yo mouth!"), and always had some sunglasses either on his face, head, in the glove compartment, or somewhere close by, oh yeah hanging on the front of his shirt.  Now that was cool!  This uncle was (and still is) a cool cat and he would take us for rides in his car, and sometimes let us wear his sunglasses.  When you put them on, the lenses might be yellow, or red, or blue or purple and we would go "oooooh", "wow" and be amazed at the transformation by these different colors.  They would really rock, I mean color our world.  You SEE what I'm SAYING?  The way I see the world effects for me, what comes from those speaking to me, how I receive what they're saying.  

After basking in Psychology courses and then psyching myself out with my BA degree, I've learned to listen to others with the other's view in mind, realizing they may be speaking "red" and I'm hearing "orange" or "yellow", depending on the "color of my glasses" i.e. my life's experiences past, present, and future, mentally, emotionally, physically, etc. you get the picture.  This has helped me to interrupt less and listen more.  I no longer feel I have to respond to everything said in a conversation because I realize we've all "been there" (somewhere) and "done that" (some thing).  Your there and that may not have been the same as mine in any way, shape or form, or maybe we went through the same tunnel or roller coaster ride the same time and even together, but we will each come away describing it differently because of who we are, from where we've come, and how it has affected us.  Also, where we're going.

Another thought is coming to me that has caused people for so many years to distrust or mistrust the Holy Bible - the Scriptures and especially the New Testament four gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  While in college I took a couple of courses in Religion.  Being brought up in the church my mom thought it would be a cinch for me, and so did I.  Well, I made a "D" at UVA and that's not passing, okay?  And we wondered what was the problem.  Well, my background did not prepare me for the presentation of religion and the gospels through that mammoth and famous institution.  Also it was taught by a cynic who didn't believe a word of it, so I had a closed mind - not on purpose mind you, but because I was taught things another way and had never experienced anyone teaching the Bible who didn't believe it.  whew!!  I went to this professor and we talked several times, he would chuckle with his cigar smoking in his hand.  I was scared, so he had pity on me and gave me a "D".  I told him "thank you" and I, walking out of his office said, "Thank you Jesus!!!"  Because even though a D is not passing, it carries a better gpa on your transcript than an "F".  So I did get some points.

You see, each of the Gospels was written by a different man (a doctor, a tax collector, a fisherman, a writer) who hung out with Jesus the same amount of time, on the boat in a storm, feeding the 5000, healing a bleeding woman, turning water into wine, etc.  Some of you may know about this man named Jesus (with Whom I'm so in love) so I won't try to give His entire story in this short blog.  But because these apostles reported some of the same events but differently, people have tried to discount the events and even the existence of Jesus as a reality.  Just because somebody didn't get the story "straight?"  i.e. all the same word for word, etc.?  Do you find that you recount events the exact same way as anyone else?  I don't.  Some of us are detail oriented and don't like to leave out a dust speck.  Others of us just like the facts madame.  And still others just want a short synopsis or "just tell me the end of the story - does he get the girl or not?"  All counts are still right, it just depends on the person who witnessed it, reported it and then the one who's receiving it - all these variables (and more) affect how it is received.  SEE what I'm SAYING?

My next experience with a university religion course was about 11 years later and you got it, I was nervous as heck.  I had to pray and search my heart and mind to release myself from my past experience, and enter this one with a new outlook.  This time the professor was the chaplain of the university so she was (is) a "believer", yet she believed differently than I did,

however we had more in common than not and enjoyed each other's company, views and sought each other out often for projects, and to help students with their spiritual search.  Suffice it to say I was 11 years older, armed with some more life experiences, and I was now a minister/preacher.  Yet, that could have closed my mind, but instead this time it didn't.  Why not?  I was no longer afraid to hear and be exposed to the views and understanding from others of "Who" God is, and how they came to meet Him and know Him, and Who they believe Him to be, etc.  

The first time around "fear" was smeared all over my glasses and thus prevented me from comprehending what was being said.  Also offense.  I was offended that a professor would teach something he didn't like and didn't believe in and laugh in the faces of those who did, yet make a living from it, allowing his views to decide whether or not our answers were correct.  This hurt me (and some other students), for I saw that someone like me didn't stand a chance in that atmosphere (a snowball's chance in a pot of boiling water!).  (Another topic I've been confronted with since being in France is "Can "unbelievers" of Jesus Christ and believers of other religions sing Gospel music?"  You may be surprised by my answer, so don't think you know it.  LOL  That's a topic for another time, maybe. :-0)

See, how we sea (pun intended) the world decides how we will hear each other, and whether or not we will enter each other's worlds.  (Oh Flipper please Free Willy!) We can keep our glasses on and continue blocking each other out, and thus missing each other's hearts.  Or we can take them off and open ourselves up to one another.  This doesn't mean I will swallow everything you say nor agree with it, nor change my views whether they be religious, political, etc.  You SEE what I'm SAYING?  But it does mean I will value you as a person, and maybe as a new friend.  I will respect your views and your life experiences.  When you speak I won't decide that you are right or wrong on gray matter issues.  You have a right to be wrong, really!  LOL!!! hahahah.  I just love that line and I wrote a song about it which says "Everybody has the right to be wrong".  One day you'll hear it on a platinum-gold record. (Is there such a thing?)

So the next time you find yourself meeting new people, or just dealing with the old ones in your life, look at them in a different way, so you can hear what their heart is trying to say.  This is how we're going to heal our relationships, families, our neighborhoods, communities, our cities, states, countries, and the world because we are ALL people.  The government is made up of PEOPLE, not machines and computers.  King David in one of his prayers to the Lord said ". . . let the nations know that they are only human." (Psalm 9:20) (NRSV)  When we take off our limited earthly view glasses smeared with fear, doubt and unbelief, we will be able to SEE what the Lord our Creator is SAYING from His heart to and for us - the people for whom He sent His Son, Jesus the Christ to die.

Oh, and the next time we see each other - take off your glasses so you can hear what I'm saying.  :-)  Peace!

BC: France is like a French Pastry.

Been thinking about food lately.  Okay, every day.  But more specifically, pastries – those pretty enticing patisseries on almost every corner of Paris vying for your attention and money.  I was walking with a new sister-friend a few days ago as we were deciding where we wanted to eat lunch.  We stopped to window shop at the patisserie along the way and confessed we are both former sugar junkies, and are no longer tempted by sweets.  So we said “let’s move on.”  But what impressed us most was how beautiful and delectable and seductive those pastries in the window appeared to the eyes, making your mouth water, but when you bite into them, they rarely live up to their advertisement.

Take a cake for instance – gateau in French – is rarely full inside, but empty, fluffy and full of air.  For sugar addicts the most important ingredient in a cake is well . . .  sugar, and the main reason for eating  cake is to feel full, not empty – physically and emotionally.  Yes!!!  Well most of the pastries in the window are rarely sweet (by this expert  American former sugar addict’s standards).  FULL-filling?  NOT.  Pretty on the outside, inviting and seductive, but empty on the inside.  Most apple pastries have never shook hands with an apple, but stepped in some apple sauce.  I have bitten across once or twice some with real apples, but I don’t remember where I found them.  They are not the norm. ;=0

Being from the U.S. my standards are different of course, and thus so are my expectations of many things.  I come from a background where we believe in looking our best and putting our best foot forward, but we don’t believe in lying about what we can deliver.   We believe you must practice and learn before standing in front of an audience.  We believe in being who you are, saying what you mean and meaning what you say, even if you may get punished for it.  LOL!!  We don’t believe in flattering or lying just to get something, or to impress someone.  When you eat our cake, it’s full all the way through.  If you find some fluff, you can bet it's probably regular jello pudding, not the fat-free or sugar-free kind.

My grandmother Francis taught me to bake some kicking pound cakes sometimes with cream cheese, sometimes with chocolate, lemon pound and plain pound, and yes pound on top of pound.  Okay enough of that.  But our cakes were fulfilling AND tasty, even if for some reason they fell.  That happened only once because of too much movement on the kitchen floor.  We still ate the messed up cake for we knew it was good even with our eyes closed!!  It was going that way anyway. LOL!

Which brings me to say, we all have different opinions, perspectives, outlooks and beliefs, and none of us are perfect no matter where we live, where we were born, our background, etc., but I believe it is better to be full of something than to live empty inside.  Every time I ride the metro and walk the Paris streets I look into peoples’ faces and many eyes are dark, sad and empty, and mouths are turned downward.  In my mind I wonder what’s going on inside – pain, disappointment, flatulence?  Who knows right?  But everybody shouldn’t be unhappy all the time in the same vicinity, should they?  And they don’t know each other.  Yet they are “close” to each other, sitting and standing on top of each other, disrespecting each other’s private space (topic for another blog, so stay tuned.  This is a pet peeve of mine.).  So this sadness and emptiness is contagious moving from heart to heart?  I hope not, that’s why I try to leave breathing room between me and those around me.

An empty soul can be used, misused, abused, controlled and more easily manipulated than one who already “knows” who he or she is, what they want, and where they are going in life.  As the late comedian Flip Wilson would say every week “what you see is what you get!”  Empty eyes = empty lives? Or vice versa?

So what do I mean by “BC :   France is like a French Pastry”?  Well, I see kissing and hugging and all sorts of love-making in the streets of Paris like they could just eat each other up right there and then.  And some of them do.  Ahem.  But does this mean it’s real, sweet on the outside, fluff or full on the inside?

BC = Before Christ.  Paris is special and does not represent all of France, so maybe I should adjust that title.  Also, France does not represent all of Europe.  The people are different from country to country just like in America the people are different from state to state – accents, friendliness, speed, etc.  Nevertheless, it has been said that for many years France hasn’t wanted anything to do with Jesus Christ’s work off, and after the cross, and so when an entire people choose to live without the active presence of their Creator, well they are like fluff – walking éclairs and croissants.  Pretty seductive ladies (regular women) day and night almost nude in the dead of winter, and aroused men with emptiness (leanness) in their souls and eyes.  Without the Spirit of Christ there is no life.  Without God’s Word there is no light.  “The entrance of Your Word gives light.”  “Jesus, the Light of the world.”

If we want light to shine through our eyes when people see us, we must ask the Light of the world to light our world, from the inside.  Ask Him to come into our hearts because our little flash lights and bic lighters are not enough anymore.  If our personalities are seductive, but we can’t keep him or her because they found out we’re all fluff inside having no lasting substance – no fulfillment in being with and knowing us, then we need to invite the Real Deal to come in and bake us a real cake.  It’s okay to advertise well.  Just make sure we can back it up.  God backed up His claims on Calvary over 2000 years ago.  John 3:16.  Now it’s cool to say, “let them eat cake!”

Much love to you!!!

What's in the Wind? (revised)

I sent this message to most if not all of my friends and family this past week and received a great response to it, even the final push-me-over-the-cliff-and-do-it shove I needed to begin this blog from a good friend, Geni.  Thanks girl! And thanks Karen for showing me how to do this.  One day I'm going to give Bill Gates a run for his money I'll be so computer savvy!!!  That's why we call them dreams people. LOL!  Before I repost the message I just want to preface it (which makes it revised, along with some other minor corrections and comments) with something another sister lovingly reminded me of and that is most storms ARE natural.  I did not mean to imply if I did, that there is a demon or devil in every storm.  Pas du tout.  God has given us authority over the elements (as we see Jesus demonstrate when He spoke to the storm to chill) as well as unclean spirits.  I was making a point or the point, or just my point that in certain scary situations, now that I know who I am in the Kingdom of God, I have become more aware when the enemy is in the wind trying to bring destruction against me and those in my immediate surroundings.  J'espere c'est plus claire!  LOL!  I appreciate all criticisms, but please take it easy on me and put some chocolate with it or even a good merlot.  Makes it easier to swallow.  Loving you and enjoy the message, encore.

Hi Friends and family. I'm watching the news on CNN at 4pm today and am saddened at the deaths of those young children in Barcelona due to strong winds and storms blowing a building down upon them, where they sought refuge from the storm.  My.  Yesterday I traveled to Epone Meziers (don't you just love the way I seemingly change topics that seem to not be related?  I love writing like that to keep you on your toes and because it's fun.  Anyhooo.) waaaayyyyyyy outside of Paris on the messed up line E. (It's not an RER Line.  Somebody needs to tell them.)  :-)

  

After getting off the train passengers must climb stairs to a platform to go left or right above the trains passing below.  Well yesterday as I did so, the wind began picking up speed and I felt it was trying, yes trying to sweep me over the edge, or blow me down the stairs.  This is not the first time I've encountered this.  As I walked across the platform approaching the down stair case, I rebuked the wind and said "no one will be blown down and injured in Jesus' name" and the wind immediately stopped blowing.  I knew it was the prince of the power of the air looking for a moment to "naturally" take me and others out.   Friends, family, let's be aware of our natural surroundings and stop thinking it's all normal.  It's not all normal. The enemy is real and he is a spirit.  He plans to take us out Christian and sinner alike by any means necessary.  As long as we refuse, or neglect to make the connection he will continue his destruction in the earth unchallenged. Many prophets and ministers pay attention to hurricanes and tsunamis, etc. like weather prognosticators and they realize the spiritual connection to the weather.  I regret to say that most of us people of color, ahem yes that would be us Black people, we tend to ignore what we don't understand or think is ludicrous for whatever our historical reasons may be, until we get seriously hit by something like Katrina. But still we don't deal with it BEFORE it hits.  That's where we've missed it for so long.  We are a praying race of people, but we for many years have been praying repetitiously/repetitively (you can choose which one you can pronounce easiest, both are in the dictionary) or by sight, and not by the Holy Spirit inside our Spirit.

I began watching the wind in/around 1996 when my health began to spiral. I would be walking around the track everyday for exercise - four seasons a year (oh, that's right there are only four.  anyhooo) and would notice I would get agitated at the wind blowing extra hard to stop my progress.  Sometimes I would rebuke the wind and it would cease, but I didn't want to keep doing that for the wind is a natural God-created element.  It did however start a dialog between me and the Lord for I asked Him "how can we know when the winds that are blowing against us are YOU stopping us from going forward with something or in a certain direction, and when it's the Enemy  trying to stop us from walking by faith through the 'storm'?"  This dialog continues for I still have not received an answer yet, or if I have I've not recognized it yet to say "this is the answer".  So if you have  any insight or revelation from the Lord in this area, please by all means share it with me/us.  (At this blog would be a great place.  Thanks!) Back to the first part.  

I just want us - especially myself - to take our heads out of the  sand concerning so many things we've just for so long didn't want to be guilty of over-spiritualizing.  Hmmm, didn't the enemy trick a  bunch of us with our education, degrees, and practical application of lofty things?  He loves it when he can roar incognito thru our intellectual ranks and just continue to snow us over. Also, I along with thousands of others have received an important word from Chuck Pierce, an American minister and prophet.  I've watched Chuck for a few years now and I do appreciate the word through him most of the time.  The latest he sent regarding a spirit assigned to President Obama for the destruction of America resounds  with me.  It has nothing to do with his race, family or upbringing so let's get off of that for a minute because satan and demons are equal opportunity spirits. (I only capitalize his name at the beginning of a sentence.  Just fyi. He's not capital material mid-sentence, in my opinion, in my world. LOL) They're more diplomatic and democratic than we are for they will  employ anyone to get the job done. 

  We on the other hand have racial and gender issues.  Let's get over it folks.  It's old.  Yes it was time for a change and Obama is the man for this change, but we must now focus on the spiritual assignment not just  against the man, but against our country.  NO person - male or female, black or white or whatever, could keep these spirits from doing what they're going to do without knowledge and help.  They've been there all the time folks just waiting for the right MOMENT when we - the bodies (in The Body) are disunited and fighting each other.  We give them a portal. (read Frank Peretti's novels - "This Present Darkness" and the other one for a graphic picture of what it could look like in the spirit realm.  Really helped me.)  

President Obama did not birth them no more than you or I birthed the spirits that were assigned against us and our families.  NOW, we all need to deal with our family lineages and close these doors people and our president needs our prayers and coverings in this as well.  He's a human being and a soul Jesus died for so let's really let the Lord deal with our hidden hypocrisy and racism and pray for the spiritual part of their 

lives too.  They don't need praying people praying amiss, but those who love their souls and will intercede to close all spiritual doors against their lineage.  They are multi-ethnical so there is the African, Irish and American cultures that must be dealt with in his family.  You know the prayers you're praying for yours so you know how to pray for his too.  :-)  Wisdom through experience begets greater ops and responsibilities.   "Oh I have white friends, black friends, etc."  Hog wash and ahem, sorry folks; But when we speak the truth in love to each other, first to ourselves about ourselves, and in the presence of the HOly Spirit, then we're ready to be delivered and become real (authentic) people. I love you too much to either keep pretending or acting like we haven't stepped in dog do when something doesn't smell right. (Easy to do in Paris.  Ooh that's for another blog story. LOL!!) For those of you who know me and are getting to know me, you know I am who I am, even when I keep my mouth shut.  LOL!!!  I cannot stand an atmosphere of pretense among people.  I will either leave, or do or say something to stir the bees' nest and when everybody gets stung, then we all see the same color - red, and we reach out to help each other, and our concern especially grows for those who are allergic.  We forget our stinger problems and rush to the rescue of another.  That's what we want, because that's what Christ is all about. A change had to come and it has, but it must begin in the people of God (for we are the change agents of  the earth.) so this change will truly be the one that ushers in God's purpose and dreams for our country, and peoples around the world.  Let's stop being selfish about OUR country. It's God's America and He will be doggone if He allows our race issues to box in His glory.  He has hit our bees nest and said "how you like ME now?" and "now whatcha gonna do?" Amen?  Amen.

So what's in the wind?  Well, if we allow the Holy Spirit to pray through us in all things, positive change is in the wind (natural and spiritual) and less destruction (natural and spiritual).  Jesus spoke to the wind and it obeyed Him.  He lives inside me and when I spoke to the wind, it obeyed HIM! (Some said the wind obeyed me.  I really don't care for He's in me.  All I know is it stopped blowing.)  For I focused on preserving life, not taking it.  Also there's a message in the natural wind about the spiritual winds blowing in your life.  Don't get blown away by either.

Loving you and enjoy your week. If you did not receive the vision through Chuck Pierce's ministry and would like to read it, just let me know, I will send it to you, but not for criticisms.  Just for praying. We don't need no more hot air out there that cannot be used to heat Russia!! LOL  Seriously. Peace!!

Genesis with a 2009 perspective and you will understand the heart of the Father was always to have a good time with man and woman.  Oh, keep coming to this site and you will be laughing with Him in no time.  He always has a way of making me laugh before, during and after my tears.  You might as well laugh with us.

Have a great day and I hope to see many of you soon in the days and weeks ahead!
